Chapter 746 – Unexpected Meeting
I got into the car where Kang So-ra was eating the items that made her honest about her desires, and I went out as soon as I saw that she was asleep.
‘It’s been a while since I decided to go to a mercenary company.’
Since I had nothing to do until she woke up anyway, I thought I should go to the mercenary company where her parents worked.
My parents are currently out of town on a mission, so I can’t see them, but I know some of them, so I’ll be able to talk to them to some extent.
Although I have been to the United States several times since I was young, the mercenary company where my parents work was the first place I had ever been.
‘Still, this is where my parents work, so I should at least say hello.’
There is nothing to do, you can make a good impression on your parents by just going and saying hello.
The best opportunity for my son to join the company, earn money, and even go on a business trip to the U.S. To show his co-workers that he was successful.
Since I’ve lived immaturely for so long, I thought I could do this much.
‘What should I bring?’
My only concern was that I was wondering if I should take something with me since I would be meeting people who work at my parents’ workplace.
From the moment Yoo Ha-young was enslaved, money became almost limitless.
It’s not that I like luxury, and I had no use for it other than occasionally buying gifts for my slaves.
For a moment, I continued to ponder alone over the thought of having to bring a gift.
‘Let’s give it to just one person.’
In the end, after thinking about it, I decided to give a gift to just one person.
Since everyone is risking their lives, they make more money than me and I don’t know of any gifts that can satisfy that many people.
In that case, you only need to give the gift to the one person your parents depend on the most.
“It would be worth it for just an item.”
Last time I arrived in America with my parents, Well Crom was the representative of the Immortal mercenary company.
He had an elongated cut on his face, giving him a rather fierce look, but he was a much gentler person than you might think.
The item I have prepared for such a person is something that cannot be obtained anywhere else in the world.
[Necklace of Health]
-The immunity of the person wearing this item increases so that they do not get sick easily.
You may think it is quite weak for an item given to a mercenary, but it is precious because there is no item in the world that increases immunity just by wearing it.
It would be a perfect item, especially for someone who has suffered a lot from rough work.
‘The design is plain black, so it’ll be fine.’
Since I’m a man, I might be reluctant to wear a necklace, so I chose a plain, matte black one.
It has a rugged design that doesn’t stand out, so it’s a design that goes well with people who do rough work.
After choosing it, I took a taxi and went straight to the place where the Immortal mercenary company was located.
————————–
“It’s been a long time.”
It’s been a while since I’ve been to this place. I came in the summer and came at the beginning of winter, so about 5 months have passed.
I looked at the building with the same design as I had seen then, touched the box containing the necklace, and then went inside.
“What brings you here?”
As it was the first face I saw upon entering, it immediately stopped me in the lobby.
It is a place where mercenaries do rough work, so it is quite strict with outside intruders in preparation for possible terrorist attacks.
But who am I? A person who is the son of parents who are considered legends in the mercenary world.
Even if no one knows my parents’ faces, no one knows my parents’ names, so I mentioned their names without hesitation.
“I am the son of John Lee and Casey Park, who work here.”
My parents’ English surname is the same as their Korean surname. To make it easier for foreigners to pronounce, only the first name was changed to English and the last name was left the same.
When I mentioned those two names, the face of the guard who stopped me changed from a face full of tension to a slightly relaxed one.
It is a name so famous that security guards immediately become nervous just by hearing one name.
“Are you saying that they are your two sons?”
“Yes, I came here with my parents once in the summer. Could you please look at my visit records?”
“What is your name?”
“This is Jinseok Lee.”
There are foreign names, but there is no need to use them. This was better because I used the Korean name as is when I visited anyway.
“Please wait a moment, and we will check.”
“Yes.”
After waiting, the security guard who checked my visit record approached me again and asked me to show my ID and passport.
After confirming both things, I was able to receive a visitor’s card from him to wear around my neck.
“Be sure to leave it in a visible place and never lose it.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll just take care of my business and leave.”
“What do you need to do? “If you are both children, I would like to help you.”
As soon as it was confirmed that I was my parents’ son, the security guard showed me considerable favor.
Admiring the reputation of these two people who could win people’s favor with just their names, I told them the purpose of my visit.
“I would like to meet the CEO of this place, Well Krom.”
“You mean the CEO?”
“Yes, I said hello to you last time, so I’d like to bring you a gift.”
“Can I check what the gift is?”
Even though all procedures have already been confirmed, I need to confirm once again the gift I will give to the CEO.
Thinking that it was indeed a mercenary company, I showed the guard a dark-colored necklace.
“This is it. “I don’t have any special devices or anything, I’m just thinking of giving it as a gift because I was indebted to it last time.”
“I’ll take it for a moment and check it out.”
The security guard who took the necklace from my hand examined it for various reasons and then brought the necklace back with a bright face.
“There is nothing wrong. This is a necessary part of the procedure, so thank you for your understanding.”
“It’s okay. It’s a place where you risk your life to work, so it’s natural.”
Afterward, when the security guard revealed the purpose of my visit to other employees in the lobby, the employees who were surprised by my identity contacted Well Chrome directly, and we were able to meet.
“That’s it for me. It was an honor to be able to host two legendary sons.”
“Thank you for your kind help.”
I thanked the security guard who was kind from beginning to end, got on the elevator that only Well Chrome can take, and quickly arrived in front of his office.
“I heard the call. “My name is James.”
“Nice to meet you, James.”
“The representative has given permission to meet, so you can go in right away.”
When I got off the elevator, a white mercenary of considerable stature greeted me.
He guided me to Well Crom’s room, greeted me politely and closed the door when I entered.
“It’s been a long time.”
“It’s been a while.”
As I entered, I was greeted by a man with a scary look that could make a weak person faint just by looking at him.
“I heard that John’s son entered the country, but I had no idea he would come here.”
“Ah… Did you already know?”
“I don’t know about you, but I’m already registered as a VIP, so there’s no way I wouldn’t know about entering the country.”
“I’m a VIP?”
“He’s the son of those two, so it’s only natural. “We keep information open, so we can move at any time in case of an unexpected situation.”
“Huh…”
This is a fact I didn’t even know. I never would have guessed that Immortal was already watching me.
Since no one was sent, it was completely unnoticed.
‘Didn’t you know about the system?’
[I have no way of knowing about this type of surveillance. I will be careful next time.]
I was a little nervous about something that even the system couldn’t suspect.
Since I have the body of a half-body, I can survive even if I fly into space bare-body, but shouldn’t I still do what I can with caution?
‘From next time, I’ll have to be more careful around my surroundings.’
With my keen sixth sense, I was able to sense that someone was directly monitoring me, but I couldn’t sense that someone who already knew of my existence was just gathering information from people around me.
Since I didn’t want something unexpected to happen, I decided to be more careful next time and told him the purpose of my visit today.
“So what brought you here?”
“This is where my parents work, so since I came to the United States, I came to say hello and give them a gift.”
“A gift?!”
As soon as the word “Gift” Comes out, Well’s harsh impression becomes even harsher.
His voice clearly shows joy, but his face looks like he’s going to kill the other person.
Thinking that she looked quite fierce, I took out the necklace from her pocket.
“It’s nothing special, it’s just a simple necklace.”
“Hmm… It’s a simple design, but I like it. Thank you.”
As expected, it was a good choice with a decent design. Seeing that he seemed to like me, I smiled and had a brief conversation.
“Your parents are currently working as security guards for high-ranking officials at a party in England.”
“I already heard it. I heard it was a simple mission.”
“Yes, it’s not difficult, but the client strongly wanted it, so I sent it.”
“He seems to be a fairly high-ranking person. “If only I could hire my parents.”
“Of course he’s a high-ranking person, because the Prime Minister of England entrusted him with the task.”
“Oh…”
It was incredible to hear that the Prime Minister of the UK, someone I had only heard about on TV, actually wanted my parents as security personnel.
If you were an ordinary person, you would never meet them in your life, but I didn’t know about this nomination mission since we lived together, but it occurred to me that my parents had a considerable reputation.
‘At home, I’m no different from my parents.’
My parents, who did not want to show that they were mercenaries, were no different from an ordinary couple at home.
The way they educated me was a bit spartan, but other than that, it was no different from just having wealthy parents.
“It’s a shame. If you had come a little earlier, we could have met.”
“I’m not a kid, so it’s okay. “I can see you again next time.”
“You’re all grown up. It’s nice to see you crying while asking for a diaper change.”
“Have you ever seen me when I was young?”
“Then you’ve seen it. “I went because they sent me an invitation saying it was an important birthday in Korea.”
After chatting with Well about various things, I parted ways with him after some time.
“It’s been a while since we had a nice conversation. Next time you come to America, please contact me and I promise to give you all the support as your uncle.”
“Thank you. Then I’ll come back next time.”
I had a lot of fun talking with Well, who has a great interest in me.
By the time I finished the conversation, I had heard quite a bit about my parents’ work when I was young.
– Roaring
‘What’s going on?’
I heard a commotion outside, so I got curious and went there, where I saw a familiar face for the first time in a long time.
“Jinseok!!!”
“Swan?!”
“Huh… This is a coincidence.”
When I left Well’s room and headed towards the elevator, I met Swan and Ron.
“I never thought we’d meet here.”
“I didn’t know either!! “It’s been a while!”
“I didn’t know you would come here.”
Swan, whom I haven’t seen in a long time, smiles brightly and says hello to me, and Ron, whom I haven’t seen in a long time, smiles and welcomes me.
Perhaps because they had quite a bit of fun in the sea, their expressions were full of goodwill towards me.
“You were on your way after meeting Well.”
“Yes, since I came to America, I should say hello.”
“He’s a guy with a very deep mind, unlike most young people these days. He’s someone’s kid… I guess that’s only natural.”
“Thank you for your positive comments.”
Perhaps thanks to his parents, who guarded Swan and prevented the resulting terrorist attack, Ron was very fond of my parents.
Even if the kidnapping incident occurred at that time, Swann escaped on his own, and even though he could have been held responsible, he did not do so.
“You won’t forget your promise tomorrow, right?”
“It’s not tomorrow, it’s the day after tomorrow.”
“I see… It was tomorrow…”
When old Ron said that we had promised to meet tomorrow and that I had to meet him the day after tomorrow, his expression darkened a little.
“Grandpa…”
Swan, who was next to me, suddenly lowered his voice and became dark, so I could sense that something was happening.
‘What’s going on?’
When I look at the condition with my own two eyes, I don’t see any particularly painful areas. I wondered if there was a problem, so I asked the system about his condition.
‘Can you check old System Ron’s physical condition?’
[Unless you are a woman, you cannot know my abilities as they are quite limited.]
‘Should I ask directly…’
Thanks to the Creator, the system that can find out everything about women has its limits when it comes to men.
As I was wondering whether I should directly ask what was going on, I couldn’t help but be surprised by what the system said next.
[However, judging from the conversation, the current subject appears to be showing early symptoms of dementia.]
‘That healthy old man has dementia?!’
[Due to memory loss, age, and last reaction, dementia is most likely.]
When I heard that Ron, who seemed healthy, had dementia, I stopped and thought about it.
