Chapter 131 – Inheritance (2)
The mother of the deceased came to the association as soon as the next day.
I didn’t dare to intervene directly in the conversation, but decided to watch quietly from a nearby seat.
Alice and Tia are also seated with me.
However, Tia was more interested in jet-bap than ancestral rites.
“Wow, wow…”
“Hey, eat a little.”
Alice closed her eyes tightly and tried to dissuade Tia, but I rather decided to leave her guy alone.
“Leave it alone. Tia is most natural when she is eating. But, keep your voice down.”
“Yep!”
Besides, Tia is so happy to eat that she feels a bit happy just by looking at it.
You can believe this.
If she hadn’t, he’d been killed long ago.
In the meantime, a woman named the deceased’s birth mother finally took a seat in a seat a little further away.
I try not to have prejudice by just looking at people’s appearance…
That man is a bit of a gag on the wrong side.
A woman over sixty, her face full of greed.
A musty, unpleasant smell emanated from her.
Maybe it’s because I didn’t wash my body well before… There’s a slightly more fundamental cause.
I clicked my tongue inwardly, recalling a very unpleasant feeling of déjà vu.
That’s the same smell I used to smell in the onboard casinos.
That’s what happens when the ugly enthusiasm of gambling addicts takes on material form.
“Quickly give me my share!”
She screamed as if she had come to collect her money her.
The attitude of thinking that if the voice is loud, it will win unconditionally.
There was not even a single word of remembrance for the deceased.
Thanks to this, when Hyejin Lim, the spouse of the deceased, frowned at her, her intangible magic her was released and pressed her opponent her.
Then, Yeriel, who was sitting with her, hurriedly stopped her.
“Please calm down.”
“Umm…”
Her mother’s side her even brought a lawyer, but he didn’t have a very neat impression either.
It was probably her culprit her who urged her to make her call her.
“If you don’t give me my share, I’ll sue right away! A sue!”
“You can do whatever you want. There are so many talented lawyers in Winter Kingdom…”
“What? Who is this young bitch threatening?”
My biological mother, who is at the level of a completely insane person, cannot communicate properly.
My eyes turned half-turned at the word inheritance of 100 million won.
Ppogak!
As if nothing had been said about Tia earlier, Alice took the glass she was holding in her hand and broke it.
Although it was quite a distance away… My mother’s voice was too loud and I could hear it very clearly thanks to the hunters’ unique sensitive senses of her.
Tia was very confused when the other side came out so confidently.
“Master, what did we do wrong?”
“No.”
As it is, there is no way it will be an agreement, so a lawyer who tries hard to calm down the birth mother’s side.
Lim Hye-jin desperately held back all the things she had to say.
Perhaps if Yeriel wasn’t by her side of her, she would have exploded long ago.
“Calm down a bit. I haven’t said that I won’t give you the inheritance yet. Anyway, you can receive the portion of the inheritance unconditionally…”
“Yes! Milk powder! I’m here to get it!”
“But why are you so late? You didn’t even attend your son’s funeral, so you brought a lawyer and threatened you?”
When Yeriel spoke softly in a calm tone, the two people opposite her instinctively flinched.
If that is a being with a survival instinct, it has no choice but to react.
“Note… I’m just late because I have something important! Do you treat people as sinners because they’re a little late?”
Yesterday, there was a Kangwon Land entry record…
Well, to her, her gamble her is the most important thing in her world her.
It is a sacred and inviolable mission to obtain gambling funds from an ugly son who has not paid a penny so far, and those of us who interfere with it are villains who will be wrathful!
It seemed that such profound logic had been completed in her head.
Yeriel calmly put pressure on her.
At least, the intention was not to blaspheme the deceased in front of Lim Hye-jin.
“Then, what did you beat and drive away when your seven-year-old son came? Did something important happen at that time too?”
Oh my god, did you even do that?
Alice and I, as well as Tia, were stunned.
“Does it matter now? My money matters!”
“It’s important. Is a person who divorced before the deceased was even 2 years old, and who has never performed the duty of support up to now, really be entitled to a claim for the retained portion… This is a very important issue .”
“…”
“Besides, you’ve never properly paid child support until now, right? You have to pay the back child support first before we can discuss the legacy, right?”
“No, he grew up on his own, but now what…”
When the topic of child support comes out, the biological mother is at a loss for words.
In Korea, there are very few cases in which a child is punished for not paying child support properly.
In fact, there are people who have hundreds of millions of dollars, but there are people who use expedient methods to avoid paying child support.
Of course, such an expedient is not so easy.
In any case, now the birth mother can no longer talk recklessly about the deceased.
The lawyer next to her also asked for her restraint her.
No one else but Yeri El Frost was attached, but she decided that there would be no benefit in going out rudely.
Fortunately, the attorney’s requirements were relatively simple.
“The client only wants the oil portion. I won’t charge more than that, so don’t bother going to court and finish it.”
Even if you only receive oil, it is a huge amount.
Winter Kingdom has the strongest lawyer corps in Korea anyway, so there is little chance that even if you go to the lawsuit, you will be able to get more than a fee.
In addition, her mother’s side did not contribute to the upbringing of the deceased.
I don’t know if she ever sent child support even once, but it wasn’t even that.
Right now, the only thing that could be a weapon for the two was the one system called the yuryubun.
Alice quietly grumbled at the extremely absurd situation.
“Why the hell is there such a thing as oil…”
“The one with oil is overwhelming in terms of administrative convenience rather than no oil.”
“Convenience of administration?”
“Yes. Oil content is an absolute standard. The standard itself is neither right nor wrong, and having one such standard makes things very comfortable.”
In fact, they are now trying to reach an agreement without even having a lawsuit.
Because there is a standard for oil content anyway.
Because we don’t go over the wrongdoings of each case, and it’s unconditionally followed…
According to principles, the law should prevent unfair people from appearing.
So, it is better to deal with each one individually.
However, in reality, it is impossible that not a single unfair person comes out.
So people gave up early on what was called a fair judgment.
That is the reason why the system of yuyubun is maintained.
“You’re too…”
“Ah. You guys, take it in moderation. I’ve been badly burned by the law and the system, so I tend to view it negatively more than necessary.”
“Eh… Is that so?”
Tia covered her mouth while Alice gave her a small nod.
A compromise was finally reached on the other side.
“Then, how about giving the court retainer minus the overdue child support?”
“Wait, who cares about child support…”
“Relax. If our request is accepted, the amount the client will receive… Will be like this.”
The lawyer was trying to convince both sides because he could n’t communicate properly with his birth mother.
But I didn’t feel sorry for him because he had brought it on himself.
When the birth mother saw the amount written down by the lawyer, her eyes turned completely upside down.
“Eh, like this? In that case…”
Apparently, the total amount of the deceased’s estate is much larger than she expected.
Lim Hye-jin, who had been patient with her temper until now, also showed a surprisingly satisfactory response.
“It’s good to deduct the back child support payments. It’ll alleviate some of his resentment to her…”
“Then, would you agree to this?”
“Wait. There’s a problem.”
As Yeriel spoke, the faces of her lawyer and her mother’s side her hardened.
From now on, this is the ‘method’ I suggested.
“What is it?”
“There is no problem with the amount of the legacy, but we would like it to be decided by us.”
“A composition?”
Yes.
The deceased’s legacy has not yet been properly liquidated.
His assets were of three main types.
1. An apartment that was in your name… That is, a real estate asset.
2. Expensive hunter equipment and all hunter loot.
3. It can be divided into other stocks and cash assets.
Yeriel took this very part as a problem.
“I want to own the apartment as it is because Lim Hye-jin is currently living in it, and I have memories with the deceased. Since the stock assets were purchased with stock options, I want to keep them as well.”
“Then how would you pay the settlement…”
“Take the hunter equipment and hunter loot for the agreed upon amount. You can’t use that anymore anyway.”
The lawyer slightly frowned at the unusual proposal, but her birth mother’s side is in a position to receive it anyway.
If you’re going to match the amount, there’s no reason to refuse.
“Are you paying a little more than enough?”
“Of course. If you sell it yourself and deduct the commission, there might be a little more left over. We calculate it based on the lowest second-hand transaction price.”
There were so many high-priced hunter equipment and hunter loot, so the settlement amount was more than enough.
The lawyer still seemed a bit hesitant, but…
My mother signed without hesitation saying that it could be more money.
“Joe, good! Give it to me now. Hurry up!”
“There are a lot of equipment stored in the association’s warehouse, so let’s take a look.”
After returning her contract, Yeriel stood up from her seat with a coy smile on her face.
I smiled bitterly at the fact that things worked out so easily.
Meanwhile, Alice finally noticed my plan.
“Paying with Hunter equipment and loot instead? You can’t…”
“That’s all.”
Hunter equipment and loot can only be handled by Hunters.
Civilians without permission cannot touch it at all.
Of course, it is possible for civilians to sell by proxy by entrusting it to the association, but…
The association can give one reason or another to block sales!
If we don’t give permission to sell, we can’t dispose of it at all!
Surprisingly, the whole process was perfectly legal.
The association’s absolute power over the Hunters once again boasted its majesty.
“What do you do if you get a transfer of Hunter equipment worth billions of dollars? You can’t sell it.”
“Wow, wow… I didn’t know the master would use the system in this way.”
I clicked my tongue inwardly in front of the admiring Tia.
In fact, Lim Hye-jin and Yeriel had made an agreement in advance.
If her birth mother expresses her sincere condolences and apologizes to the deceased even once, she decides to pay the entire amount in cash without regret.
Lim Hye-jin must have been sincerely hoping for that.
But the agreement never saw the light of day.
Tia murmured weakly, trembling at the fact she found out too late.
“Sometimes I think people are rather rude because of the law.”
“You sound really sick sometimes.”
“It must mean that people in our country are pathetic enough to hear what Tia said.”
“Ah, unnie! You’re too good!”
We chatted happily and went back to the office.
Maybe it was right after seeing such a bad case, Tia’s appearance that she didn’t feel so mean.
