Chapter 751 – Marriage Story
After a storm had passed in his grandfather’s room, Swann returned to his room with different worries than when he left.
‘It’s marriage…’
She had never seriously thought about her marriage until now.
She just lived with what she was given. She only imagined marrying someone and starting a family, but she never really thought about it.
She never expected that her grandfather would suggest that she marry a man she had met only once and twice in total.
‘Marry that person…’
For Swann, Jinseok Lee is not someone who holds a very large place in her heart.
If I were to sum it up in words, I would say it’s a friendliness that makes you wonder what it would have been like if you had an older brother when you were young.
It’s not a person that will cause any problems if you don’t have fun playing with them.
Of course, since she only met twice, she really didn’t have enough time to think about anything.
The person Swann thought she would marry was someone she had shared her experiences with and had become familiar with for a long time.
“Ah!! “I don’t know!!”
-Container! Container! Tong!
Swan, who thought she was in a relationship with Lee Jin-seok and even getting married, ended up burying her head in her bed and stamping her feet.
She was even more distraught because she left without a proper answer to her grandfather’s sudden marriage.
If you didn’t like it, you could just reject it on the spot and leave, but I couldn’t say anything.
As I opened the door and left without even being able to answer properly, the words his grandfather said lingered in my head.
-This allowance will be respected no matter what choice you make. It’s just something she said, so I hope you don’t think too much about it.
It wasn’t forced. It was just an invitation, but why don’t you meet him sometime? To some extent.
However, hearing such words for the first time in my life, I couldn’t help but feel disturbed.
It was when I was in middle school.
-Do you want to get married when our baby grows up?
“Huh! Grandfather! “I really want to marry a handsome and wonderful man!”
-Haha! Yes, Swan, you must marry the man you like.
“Of course! Whose granddaughter am I!!”
-I see! Okay! You are the granddaughter of Ron, the chairman of the Keitel military company! You can do anything you want, so don’t worry and leave it all to this spare!
“Grandpa is the best!”
The memories of that time come to mind. My grandfather’s words to meet the person you love and get married, rather than the arranged marriages that other large corporations do, ring in my ears.
‘A person recommended by such an old man…’
When I first saw him, I just thought he was a rather handsome guy.
I didn’t think much about him after that. He was just fun to play with.
This is a similar feeling I get when I hang out with other friends, so I never thought of him as anything special.
‘Ah… There is one.’
There is one thing that bothers me. Around the time he was kidnapped by terrorists.
When he was trembling in fear because it was his first time being kidnapped, someone came and helped him.
At that time, as soon as I was rescued, I felt relieved and relaxed, so I passed out without even knowing who I was dealing with.
‘It definitely seems similar…’
When I first met Lee Jin-seok, I felt familiar as soon as I saw her.
I’ve never seen her before, and it’s my first time seeing her, so why does it feel familiar?
While thinking hard alone, Swann realized that he was physically similar to the man who saved him when he was kidnapped.
There is no way that the granddaughter of Keitel Enterprises does not have any abilities. The genes that grew a steel company into America’s best military company gave their children special abilities.
However, it is not a truly special ability like a hero in a movie, but is just slightly better than that of an ordinary person.
The talent that Swann inherited from Chairman Ron was a sharp eye.
‘It was almost all the same.’
Since ancient times, Swan has been able to skillfully distinguish the size and shape of any object he has seen.
Even small objects can be accurately distinguished, but large objects such as the human skeleton or height can be distinguished more clearly.
“Is this really true…?”
When I think back on that memory, I wonder if Lee Jin-seok was really the person who saved me.
I thought about it to myself several times. He is a prince on a white horse who saves him when he is in danger.
Reality is not so easy, so even if you realize that such a person does not exist, isn’t there still room for romance?
What if Prince Charming really exists, and he is Lee Jin-seok, who came out of my grandfather’s mouth today?
‘I don’t think it’s bad…’
Until now, to Swann, men had been nothing more than friends just like women.
I’ve never felt love for someone before.
Since she was born as the granddaughter of the world’s best military company and had already lived without any shortcomings, there could not be a man who could interest her.
Loved it at first sight? Is it possible to have such feelings towards men of the same age?
Since she lived with her grandfather and watched him as a more mature and mature person than anyone else since she was young, her eye for the opposite sex was quite high.
However, if the man I had only met twice was the one who saved her, I think my feelings would be different now.
‘It was very unfriendly…’
When he saved me, I remember the way he treated her as if he was in trouble even though he had saved her from danger.
Rather, it felt like they were in the way, trying to get the job done quickly and disappear somewhere.
‘How dare you act like that when you had the chance to save me!!’
So at first Swann didn’t know who I was, so I thought he was just being stretchy like this.
I thought he covered his face to avoid being discovered by the terrorists who kidnapped him.
It is difficult to think normally for Swan, who has never had this experience in the first place.
Since humans judge everything based on their own experiences, her limit was there.
Because she was raised from a young age, her thoughts are almost self-centered.
It is said that the default value is to think from the perspective of oneself rather than from the perspective of others.
So when she got the chance to save herself, she was so displeased with the response of someone who was so callous.
‘It’s shameful that you didn’t reveal your identity.’
She later asked her grandfather to find out who saved her, but she couldn’t.
She couldn’t be found even with the power of the Keitel military company, which has enormous power in the United States.
She even tried to find a mercenary to find traces, but there was no result.
It was because Lee Jin-seok used her system’s abilities to erase all traces of CCTV and even used her invisibility potion to move, but there was nothing she could know.
Even Chairman Ron was the only one who obtained evidence through photos taken from a satellite, but he didn’t know about her abilities until Jin-seok Lee revealed them.
If he hadn’t told me that he was interfering in the most sensitive presidential election because he was a military company, he wouldn’t have known anything.
“Ahhh!! “Why did Grandpa say something like that!!”
Until I went to visit her grandfather today, I never expected something like this to happen, but I am distraught.
Since she couldn’t just go and tell him to stop working, she was going to throw a tantrum and stop her grandfather from working.
“I hate grandpa!!”
After hearing about marriage for the first time in her life, the little girl ended up jumping around in her bed like a live fish, unable to calm down her distraught mind.
—————————-
“Hmm..? My ears itchy. Who’s talking about me?”
By the time her Swan returned to her room she was alone on her bed, pounding hard with her feet.
Chairman Ron, who had brought up the topic of marriage with his granddaughter, whom it would not hurt to look at, was lost in thought without leaving the study yet.
‘How will he move in the future?’
Normally, he should have gone to bed early for his health, but Chairman Ron, who had been rejuvenated by almost 10 years with the potion, was making full use of his fresh body for the first time in a long time.
And how could he fall asleep after hearing such stories?
In the future, America will face tremendous changes. I already know that Lee Jin-seok’s abilities are not everything he told me to be.
He lived for several years, but he was not a poor person to the point where he didn’t even know anything about it.
‘You must prepare in advance.’
You must prepare in advance how the monster moves. You have to think of numerous numbers and adapt to the monster’s movements.
There is a huge difference between the steps taken by ordinary humans and monsters.
The monster only walked one step, but ordinary people like him might have to walk over 100 steps.
‘You can’t make the first move.’
Be prepared for everything, but it was forbidden to move by hitting the player rather than the monster.
I don’t know what he is thinking. He may devour America in some way.
I am not sure whether I will use the force that single-handedly dealt with skilled terrorists, or whether I will use abilities beyond recognition.
If he made a mistake and went ahead, there was a chance that he could be eaten by that monster.
Of course, I am close to his parents, so I really won’t eat him, but Chairman Ron is not a great person who will be satisfied with just such a position.
‘If he is in a boat, he wants the highest seat.’
He ran tirelessly from a small steel company to a large corporation responsible for all military supplies in the United States.
The reason he was able to run this far without stopping was because of his greed and persistence.
He has the greed to become the best in any position and the determination to succeed unconditionally.
He was such a greedy person that it could be said that only those two emotions made Chairman Ron what he is today.
“Rachel, are you there?”
“Did you call me? Chairman.”
At the steel company, he was the secretary of Chairman Ron, whom he personally scouted when he realized that he was greedy to rise to even greater heights.
He trusted Rachel to the point where it could be said that they had moved together from the beginning and were now one body.
‘I told her it was okay to talk to her associates.’
Before Lee Jin-seok left, he told his close associates that he could reveal all the facts.
Now that I’m older, it’ll be hard to solve everything on my own, so I’ll be considerate.
If someone had said something like that to him, a world-famous military company, he would have thought it was funny, but the other person was a monster.
A monster that brought me back to life when I was nearing the end of my life with only a red potion and a purple medicine.
Rachel’s help was essential in order to follow the steps of such a monster even just a little.
“How long have you been with me?”
“It’s already been over 40 years. Chairman.”
“Huh… Has it already been that long?”
“I was very young back then.”
“Yes, I was young when I thought I could do anything…”
“What do you have to say?”
Chairman Ron, who briefly recalled the old times he had with Rachel, got to the point.
“You… Don’t you want to go back to that time with me?”
“… Aren’t we already too old?”
In the past, Chairman Ron thought it was natural to see Rachel, who had always taken the lead in resolving all issues, looking exhausted.
For over 40 years, we worked together without even being able to rest properly.
The passion of my youth has already been used up as firewood, and now all I see is a barren wasteland.
“Well, we’re not old enough to do anything now.”
“You’re right. “Isn’t the Chairman also sick…”
“Heh, heh…”
Looking at Rachel’s passive appearance, unlike when she was younger, Chairman Ron just smiled helplessly.
Yes, that kind of reaction is normal. If I hadn’t met that monster, I would have reacted like that.
But.
‘That guy is different.’
He saw a new fire here today. He uses ordinary people like himself as firewood to create a fire that will burn bigger than anyone else.
That’s why Rachel’s help was even more necessary. Because she needed at least one competent person to follow the monster that was walking forward.
“I think it would be better to listen first and then judge. Everything I say from now on is confidential. “You’d better prepare your mind.”
“… Let’s listen.”
Afterward, he took out a contract from a drawer that Jinseok Lee had given him and told the whole story to his secretary who had been with him for a long time.
