Chapter 748 – Would You Like to Receive a Good Offer?
-Clatter rattle
In a large dining room where it’s just me and Ron, the only sound we can hear is the sound of each other’s dishes touching each other’s dishes.
When we were spending time quietly savoring the taste of food.
“So, how are things going these days?”
I started a conversation with Ron after hearing the words from his mouth.
“I’m doing well, I recently got a job.”
“I heard, you said it was a Mejia company? It looks like they are making money through cosmetics.”
“That is the main product, but we are preparing other products these days.”
“Yes… The reason we want a contract this time is to expand our reach into the United States.”
“That’s right, we’re done with the UK and Asia, so we need to expand to the US to make more money.”
“It seems like a pretty useful company, aiming to export to the world.”
“A person with brains can use it. “Because I have good skills.”
Yoo Ha-young, who had been making money in the shadows, was able to get her uncle to start a company in the sun, so she is capable.
“Good, it’s good news that there is a capable person among your subordinates.”
“…”
While we were having a conversation while eating, I stopped talking when I heard that there was a competent person among my subordinates.
What he is saying now is that he knows that the person running Mejia Enterprise is below me.
‘Was there a background investigation?’
Thanks to the system, it is absolutely impossible to use a device to investigate my background.
However, if information was obtained, it was obtained by using people.
I was already planning on revealing my abilities to him, so there was no need to hide them, so I just said it.
“The person below me is competent, to the point where they put me in the company even though I have no experience.”
“Hehe… Are you not even planning on hiding it?”
“I know everything anyway, so why hide it? If I hide it, are you going to pretend like I don’t know?”
“That’s right, it’s entirely possible if you want.”
I don’t know how much research old Ron has done on me. But seeing him bring it up so openly, he must know a lot.
There was a high possibility that he knew that I had quite a few women.
‘But I don’t really like being bullied. ‘System.’
But being treated like this doesn’t suit my temperament.
I asked the system to investigate Caitlin’s company and had a small talk with him, waiting for information to be gathered.
[Found it. Caitlin Enterprises is currently supporting a candidate in the upcoming presidential election.]
‘Hmm… It’s sponsored by a military company…’
Caitlin Corporation is a company that primarily produces military supplies, so it can be said to be the most sensitive company to the presidential election.
So, I wouldn’t say that I support someone among the presidential candidates because I might make enemies, but it was strange that they suddenly supported a candidate.
If you succeed, you will receive enormous benefits, but if you fail, the losses will also be significant.
“Are the elections going well?”
“Huh… Did you even know that?”
“Well, if I want to know, there’s almost nothing I don’t know.”
In an era where digital has become mainstream, there is almost no information that I do not know with the help of the system.
Even now, if I wanted to, I could even find out the information held by everyone in the world.
Any human-made encryption system was powerless in the face of artificial intelligence created by the Creator.
“It was you, after all…”
“What do you mean by that?”
While we were talking while peeling each other’s cards one by one, Old Man Ron took off his glasses, looked at me intently, and said something I didn’t know.
I asked him with a curious look what he was talking about, and he calmly told me my secret.
“The unknown person who saved Swann. I was wondering who it was, but it was you.”
“Hmm…? That wouldn’t be me. “I stayed calm at the hotel that day.”
For now, let’s pretend not to know. It was because I was curious to see how far his abilities would go.
It was natural that I had the skills to dig up information behind me, but that wasn’t enough.
Because I needed a partner suitable for me who would treat my dementia and use him to prey on America’s underbelly.
“I don’t know how he did it, but he avoided all the mercenaries’ gaze and found our Swan’s location and saved him. “I found this while digging up their information.”
-Tuk
“Hoo…”
What old Ron left on the table was a photo.
A photo of a man moving on top of a building wearing clothes with bullet holes in them.
‘I would have deleted everything using the system…’
Since it was taken from the air, it was clearly taken using a satellite.
After everything was over, I asked the system to erase all evidence of me, but it seemed to move faster this way.
[This is my negligence.]
‘It doesn’t matter, because even if I knew it, I wouldn’t be able to use it.’
Since I asked for it some time after the whole incident was over, it would have been difficult to delete all of this.
It’s not like the system can get rid of something that’s already been taken out.
The face is a little unclear, but old Ron would have been able to figure it out using a variety of things.
“Couldn’t it be someone else? “Why are you so sure it’s me?”
“I thought so before, I just thought he was the child of two legendary mercenaries.”
“So?”
“Hearing what you’re saying now, it seems like you’re not just an ordinary child, so that’s right.”
There was only one photo, but he was a person with enough sense to suspect this side.
It was obvious that staying alive for a long time would be helpful to me, so I told him bluntly.
“That’s me.”
“I knew it!! Thank you so much! “I finally get to say that greeting from back then!!”
I wondered if he was that happy that I was right, and was a little dumbfounded to see him even smiling.
“You have no idea how frustrating it is to do Ron Caitlyn a favor and not be able to give her anything in return.”
“It’s something that can just be overlooked, but why bother?”
“No, no. “It’s only natural that I saved my beloved granddaughter before she was harmed.”
“How can you work when you are so crowded?”
“I did a good job because I was stuck. If I had been willing to compromise right away, I wouldn’t have been so successful.”
Perhaps because he knew that I was the unknown person who saved Swan, old Ron spoke to me in a friendlier tone than before.
Well, the atmosphere is good. Following this atmosphere, I decided to tell him the purpose of coming here.
“Are you feeling okay? I think you’re getting sick here and there as you get older.”
“… “You know everything.”
“It’s shown that way there, but if you don’t know, you’re a fool.”
“Ha… That’s right… It was three months ago.”
“That’s the only way it happened?”
“They say the symptoms come on a bit quickly for dementia. “Even though we are using a new drug that is said to be the most effective, we have no intention of stopping.”
After listening to old Ron’s words, I realized that his situation was worse than I thought.
Dementia develops and progresses slowly over a longer period of time than expected.
Dementia is something that can be endured for a long time if you take medication and receive good care.
However, after listening to old Ron’s words, I could tell that he was making significant progress even with the medication.
‘I’m glad I know now.’
Old man Ron is almost born with heavenly luck. At that rate, after about a year, things would have progressed to the point where it would have been impossible.
Very fortunately, he met me 3 months after the disease progressed.
“I guess old man Ron is truly blessed with luck.”
“If I wasn’t lucky, I wouldn’t have been able to grow the company to this extent.”
“That’s right, luck is more important than skill in life.”
“That’s true, if you’re not lucky, it’s hard to succeed no matter how good you are.”
I could fully understand what old Ron said. What if I didn’t have this ability?
I could have lived my life like an unemployed person, forgetting about my parents’ money.
I don’t have any special talent and have no will to do anything unless I like it.
Even though I had the talent to focus on just one thing, I only used it for games.
“Well, if I told you this much, you would know everything, right?”
“If I had known you were an ordinary person, I wouldn’t have believed you.”
“But you’ve already seen it all.”
“That’s right, would someone walk around on the roof of a building be an ordinary human being?”
“It’s true that humans are. I am the parent of a maid. “I was born in my mother’s womb.”
“I know that, I never expected that someone like this would be born as a child of those two.”
“Oh, that goes for me too. “I didn’t know I would be like this.”
It seemed like old Ron didn’t want to talk about the fact that he had dementia.
Aren’t you still joking even though there is someone in front of you who can treat you right away?
‘They won’t just treat you.’
However, contrary to expectations, Ron did not have any aversion to his dementia.
I already knew that he, the child of a legendary mercenary, was no ordinary person.
I was thinking that someone with the physical ability to jump between tall buildings might also have some mysterious abilities.
But, that wasn’t what was happening now.
‘The number of women he had was considerable.’
While doing background research on Lee Jin-seok, I found out that the number of women he had was significant.
Since he already had some suspicions that he was not an ordinary person, he was as careful as possible in gathering information.
Given his personality of liking women, he may target Swann on the condition that he cure his dementia.
‘I will never do anything to hurt my granddaughter.’
Therefore, Ron could not easily ask for treatment even when Lee Jin-seok said that he would cure his dementia.
Because of his personality, which I have investigated so far, it was something that she could never receive in return for her granddaughter.
“So what are you going to do?”
When he was worried about his granddaughter, he couldn’t answer easily when he heard Lee Jin-seok’s words.
He still has the desire to age gracefully. However, she did not want to send her granddaughter to a man who had a lot of experience with women.
Chairman Ron, who could not easily answer, decided to ask him the price.
“If you treat me, what kind of reward do you want?”
“Are we already negotiating?”
“If it’s a price I can’t give, shouldn’t I refuse it?”
“Hey, I don’t do anything impossible even though I’m not a stranger.”
“Then… What is the price?”
“The price I want is.”
-Gulp.
Is it because of the expectation that the price will come out of Lee Jin-seok’s mouth? Chairman Ron realized that for the first time in a long time, he was very nervous.
“All I want is your help.”
“… “It’s help.”
When he heard the word help, he was nervous that his granddaughter might want it, but he couldn’t help but be taken aback when he heard the next words.
“Yes, it’s not that difficult to help. “Please help me eat here.”
“Where… Are you talking about?”
“America, America. “I won’t eat too much, I’ll just eat a little bit, so please help me.”
“America… The country? “Are you telling me you’re going to eat America?”
“You don’t have dementia, but you have deafness?”
“That’s not true…”
That was completely unexpected. I thought she was definitely going to target her granddaughter, but who could have predicted that she suddenly announced that she would eat America?
But.
Chairman Ron looked into Jinseok Lee’s eyes and realized that he was talking seriously and not joking.
Because the eyes he is showing right now really show that he can devour America.
