Chapter 489 – Dinner Invitation
The day before Park Ha-eun told Lee Jin-seok that she had dinner plans with people she worked with.
Swan, who escaped from home and was kidnapped by strangers, returned and was in peace, he remembered that day.
‘Who was it?’
She was sure that anyone who came to save her would know how high of a position she was.
She is the only granddaughter of the world-famous chairman of the Keitel military company and is the person he loves the most.
From her childhood, she got everything she wanted. There was almost nothing she couldn’t achieve what she wanted.
In the first place, because she was born into a rich family and received a higher education, she was more mature than her peers and did not ask for ridiculous favors.
As many children say, pick the moon in the sky and give it to yourself,
Or maybe she wants to meet Santa in person and tell him what gifts she wants.
Having been separated from her busy parents at an early age, she was forced to grow up early and was bright and quick-witted.
‘He didn’t feel anything at all when he saw me.’
The unidentified masked man who came to save him knew everything, but did not put in any effort like bodyguards or mercenaries.
No, on the contrary, she seemed annoyed at herself for being kidnapped, treated her coldly, threw her cell phone and told her to contact him, and then she just left.
Even after seeing her only granddaughter from the Keitel military company, she didn’t even wait for someone to come and bring her, so she just left.
‘Isn’t that too insincere?’
At first, I was curious as to how her grandfather had asked such a person.
It’s natural for her to protect her subjects, but she just goes away after killing all the bad guys who kidnapped her.
Because he just went away, she didn’t tell anyone, but she was left shaking in fear until help came.
The masked man said he was safe, but what if he was mistaken and other bad guys came?
Am I going to be kidnapped again? How can someone be so irresponsible?
I was thinking about that until support arrived, and I was planning on telling her grandfather everything about him.
I was really scared. Is this the person my grandfather commissioned? How could he entrust the request to such an unkind person? He had a lot to say, etc.
‘But my grandfather said he was a complete stranger…’
I didn’t know the man’s face because I was wearing a mask, but when I looked at his body and told him everything, my grandfather said he had never entrusted a request to a man like that.
In the first place, all mercenaries cannot wear masks because they value trust the most.
And his grandfather said that he only gave commissions to mercenaries whom he trusted.
He said he had no contact or contact with the masked man.
So she asked the bodyguards around her and the mercenaries who were escorting her this time, but they all said it was their first time hearing this.
‘Who on earth is it?’
What Swan knows about the Masked Man is that he has a very good body and is quite tall.
The voice seemed to have used modulation and changed into several voices each time she spoke, so she couldn’t tell for sure.
So what she remembered most accurately was what his body looked like.
From an early age, she had a natural talent for seeing and remembering things, so she trusted her own eyes and memory.
‘I want to meet you again…’
Ever since she was saved by an unknown masked person, Swann has thought about him every day.
I want to ask why you abandoned me then and left me in that dangerous place.
She wants to ask how she was kidnapped and how she was found when her grandfather didn’t even ask her out.
At that time, she had run away, leaving behind anything that could be traced to her.
She chose clothes she had never worn before and took off all her jewelry, such as her earrings.
She used to wear a bracelet and found out that it had a GPS embedded in it.
Nevertheless, not long after he was kidnapped, he came and rescued me as if he had been waiting.
There are so many things I want to ask, but because there is no information, I can’t even meet them.
Even after talking to the security guards and looking at the surrounding CCTV, they couldn’t even find any trace of him.
‘I’m so curious that I’m going crazy.’
She has lived a queen-like life, having gotten everything she wanted since she was young. If she has any questions, she can’t help it.
It continued to bother her more and more as time passed, even after her case was over.
Around this time, Swan was struggling to find out the identity of the masked man alone.
“How about having dinner with the mercenaries who helped you this time?”
Suddenly, her grandfather approached her and asked if she would like to have dinner with the mercenaries who had protected her.
She honestly had no intention of eating with those people who took away her freedom, but at her grandfather’s earnest invitation, she had no choice but to accept.
There will be no loss if you become acquainted with the mercenaries when you inherit this Keitel military company in the future.
And even more so if the mercenaries who eat together are people who are called legends by others.
“I understand.”
“Then I’ll make an appointment for two days later, so be ready by then.”
After hearing the answer, the grandfather closed the door again and went out.
“Ha… I’m frustrated…”
Although she ran away for a while, she returned safely, but this time, she was banned from going out for over a week because she was kidnapped.
There is a guard guarding the outside of the secret passage, so if you go through that, you will definitely be caught.
In the end, she felt her frustration and sighed as she was forced to stay at home.
However, it was something that could not be helped. If her grandfather got angry for the first time and ran away again, she wouldn’t know how oppressed she would be.
‘Dinner with mercenaries…’
She thought there was no point in thinking about such a depressing matter, so she quickly shook those thoughts away and thought about dinner.
Because he tricked the mercenaries and secretly escaped, his relationship with them is currently at its worst.
She didn’t want to leave because it was quite an uncomfortable position, but she had to apologize because she caused harm to others.
The opponents are not people she can deal with like the bodyguards, but mercenaries brought in at her grandfather’s direct request.
Among them, the Asian couple was so famous that no matter how much her grandfather asked, they did not have to accept it.
“I really hate it.”
Out of frustration, she decided to go outside and take a look around her garden.
“Where are you going, lady?”
“I’m feeling frustrated, so I’ll go to the garden for a bit.”
“I will follow.”
“No, I want to be alone. So don’t think about following me.”
“But…”
“I don’t plan on running away, so just leave me alone, and I’m inside the house anyway, so why worry?”
She dropped her bodyguard who offered to follow her even though she wanted to be alone, and while walking in the garden, she heard some people talking.
“They say there is an important dinner this time, so everyone should be careful.”
“How many amazing people are coming?”
“The mercenaries who guarded the young lady are coming.”
“Didn’t the contract end because you lost that girl?”
“I don’t know the details, but I guess the chairman said he would just skip it.”
“They seem to be very important people…”
“I guess it is because you said you just let it go even though such a big problem happened.”
When the topic of this evening’s appointment came up, she slowly approached and listened more closely.
If you collect all of this information one by one, the probability of not making a mistake at dinner increases.
The conversations between her employees helped her because there was a lot of information she didn’t know.
“Now that I think about it, I heard that one of the mercenaries coming this time is my son.”
“Have you heard already? “Rumors are so fast.”
“I was a little interested because they said I was very handsome.”
“I couldn’t see him either, but everyone said he was handsome.”
During the conversation among the workers, she listened even more intently to the sound that someone’s son was coming.
‘Your son is coming?’
She thought her grandfather had arranged this appointment for her to expand her network, but as she listened to the conversation, it seemed like that wasn’t the case.
There was no need to invite their sons to expand their network.
I heard from the two mercenaries that their son doesn’t do any work here.
‘You really just wanted to eat together.’
When she felt like she had nothing to do with work, she didn’t want to go out to dinner even more.
When she heard that her partner had a handsome face, she was curious, but she didn’t need it anyway if she wasn’t in her class.
As the successor to lead the Keitel military enterprise, it is natural to marry someone related to this company.
Her grandfather told her she could marry whoever she wanted, but she thought it was a sacrifice she could make.
Just because you act a lot toward others and get irritated a lot doesn’t mean you’re young.
The reason she developed that personality in the first place was because she lost her freedom.
If she could live freely, she would not be irritated by others.
In fact, when she was young, she had a personality that was considerate and thoughtful of others, but as she grew older, she became frustrated with others.
‘I should just eat dinner comfortably and go out.’
She thought it wasn’t that important, so she felt comfortable and decided to just have dinner and leave.
And that thought completely changed the day we had dinner, when I saw a man.
————————-
“We’re almost there.”
After enduring a hellish shopping day, I arrived with my family at the meeting point, Chairman Ron’s house, exhausted.
‘I never thought I would go shopping right before the appointment time…’
I was lucky enough to find clothes that my mom liked, so I thought it would be over soon, but that was a complacent thought.
Since I’m done with my clothes, I have to look at my dad’s clothes. Next, full-scale mom shopping.
After endless hours of shopping, my dad and I arrived at our meeting point physically fine but mentally exhausted.
‘Next time I will definitely not go.’
The next time my mom asked me to go shopping, I thought she would never go, so I looked around.
When you pass through the iron gate and go inside, you see a harmoniously decorated garden.
Perhaps to show the dignity of the company, the garden was quite bright even though it was evening.
‘That may not be the only purpose.’
The reason why it was so bright even in the evening was to show its majesty, but the most important thing was to quickly spot an intruder when he came in.
Looking around, there were quite a lot of CCTVs installed, so they were watching without blind spots, and there were signs of bodyguards moving around in the corners.
‘[Demigod’s Body] Also became easier to write.’
Because of this attack incident, I always kept my senses sharp, so I became quite good at writing and had no trouble identifying signs in the desired area.
“Arrived.”
“Jinseok, get off first.”
“Yes.”
After driving through the garden for about 10 minutes, we arrived in front of a huge mansion.
‘It’s so big.’
When I looked at it on the screen using the system, it didn’t look that big, but I could tell when I saw it in person.
This house is really huge. There were people constantly walking around and security guards in suits were on guard.
It was probably large enough that even if there were accommodations for the occupants, there would be plenty of room left when entering the house.
“Thank you for coming.”
“Thank you for inviting me.”
“Thank you.”
“Thank you.”
After waiting for a while, Chairman Ron opened the door and came forward to welcome us.
Dad and Mom bowed their heads slightly to express their gratitude for the invitation, and I followed suit and bowed my head in greeting.
“Is that your son?”
“Jinseok is handsome, right?”
Mom, who briefly spoke politely for the sake of greeting, immediately spoke comfortably to Chairman Ron as soon as the greeting was over.
‘Because my mother is naturally like this.’
Perhaps because it was a place where they met each other personally rather than a professional meeting, they did not seem to use harsh language.
“I see why she bragged about it like that, she’s really good-looking.”
“When she spoke, she told me to stop bragging.”
“In the eyes of parents, their children are all the best-looking and prettiest in the world, although I never thought it would be to this extent.”
“And then she brags about her granddaughter all day long.”
“Because my granddaughter is gorgeous, huh…”
In response to my mother’s scolding, Chairman Ron came up to me with a half-hearted smile and held out her hand and said hello.
“This is my first time seeing you. I thought your name was Ji Jin-seok.”
“Nice to see you. “My name is Chairman Lee Jin-seok.”
Since I do not have an English name, Chairman Ron was careful to pronounce my Korean name.
“Jinseok, are you okay if I don’t have an English name?”
“Hmm… Since you seem uncomfortable calling me that, I’ll call you Rain.”
“Rain? That’s a good name! How could it be our son!”
When I told her the name she had given Cynthia, her mom was happy and patted me on the back and praised me.
In the past, I would have frowned because it hurt when I hit her, but because her body had become so strong, I didn’t feel it at all.
“Rain… Rain… Is a good name.”
“Thank you.”
After a brief greeting, we went inside with the guidance of Chairman Ron, and soon we were able to meet Swan, who was wearing a beautiful red dress.
“I was waiting. Thank you so much for accepting my invitation to dinner this evening. “My name is Swan Keitel, Ron Keitel’s granddaughter.”
As we entered, Swann, wearing a beautiful red dress, greeted us in a very restrained manner.
‘A bitch.’
However, I knew Swann’s personality and had suffered a lot because of that bitch, so I couldn’t like her.
Because of that bitch, my father’s plan fell through, and my parents ended up in a much more dangerous situation.
