Chapter 750 – Crossroads of Choice
After Lee Jin-seok left, Chairman Ron, who was alone in the study room, pondered in his head what had just happened.
‘What on earth is going on?’
It feels like a storm has passed. Every word he said stirred my heart.
So much so that the roots of the giant tree that I had grown deep in my heart throughout my life were shaking.
I would never have believed it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes.
‘Where on earth did I get that strength?’
Strength that is unbelievable for a human being and a speed that moves at a speed that cannot be seen with one’s own eyes.
It wasn’t just that he had outstanding physical ability. Isn’t it said that if you buy something from a store, you can get various things that are not available in this world?
As proof, he received dementia medicine and a red potion that Lee Jin-seok purchased at the store.
“Is this really that good?”
When you hear it, it is a medicine that is much more effective than the dementia medicine you took.
A drug that can cure all diseases has no utility unless you get sick.
But.
This red potion in front of you now is different. It is said that if you eat it, you can instantly recover your body even if you receive serious damage.
“I should eat it.”
The dementia medicine was given as a condition of the contract, and this red potion was given to him as a service.
Did he say that his body would become much healthier and his lifespan would increase?
Chairman Ron, who had already boarded the ship driven by Captain Lee Jin-seok, drank the red potion without hesitation.
Hehe…”
The taste wasn’t to the point where I could honestly say it was delicious, but it was still edible.
‘It’s a shame.’
To be honest, President Ron, who ate the potion Jinseok Lee gave him, was very disappointed that he had eaten it right away.
If the ingredients could be analyzed at a research institute, there would have been tremendous benefits.
An item that can heal wounds without surgery and can prolong life by regenerating human cells.
Although he knew how great its value was, Chairman Ron was not greedy.
‘Because this is no different from a test.’
Even though it seemed like he just gave it to me as a service, it was no different from a test he was giving himself.
This is to check whether they are trying to betray because they are blinded by the immediate gain.
If you live for a long time, there are things you can know even if you don’t want to know.
And the most accurate of them were, unfortunately, things related to life.
‘Betrayal doesn’t just end a transaction.’
From the moment Jinseok Lee showed his true worth and started talking, Chairman Ron could instinctively feel it.
His sense of selling weapons in a battlefield raining down bullets for a long time spoke clearly.
The author is an apex predator who cannot accept compromise.
No, the word predator doesn’t suit him. He is just a monster. A monster that can single-handedly destroy an entire ecosystem.
“You definitely said you like women.”
Since we were already in the same boat, it became natural to show off to him at least a little bit.
It is said that they became close friends through their parents’ ties, but that was only created by borrowing their parents’ prestige.
In the future, if he was to use his abilities to attract other high-ranking executives, a direct approach was needed, not just a friendly relationship.
“Please bring Swan.”
-Okay.
For example, it is like a blood relationship that can never be separated.
She thought that in order for her granddaughter to have a happy life, she would not have gotten into an arranged marriage, but this was something she had no choice about.
‘It would be difficult if I missed this opportunity.’
Chairman Ron knows. When people like that have something planned, they start dealing with it without hesitation.
You don’t know how many relationships you will make using yourself during this week.
So when he realized his value before anyone else, he had to take advantage of it quickly.
————————-
Swan, who was going to have dinner with his grandfather today, was a little sulky when he had to eat alone because he heard he had an important appointment.
‘Grandpa doesn’t even keep his promises…’
Since her parents are always abroad for work, the only family she has left is her grandfather.
This is unavoidable since all other family members are abroad for work.
Even though I was lonely, I was happy to be with her grandfather, so I could bear it, but today I felt a little sad.
Around this time, Swann was condescendingly expressing his disappointment to Chairman Ron.
-Knock.
There was a knock on her door, and her maid, who always helped her, came to talk to her.
“Lady, this is a call from the chairman.”
“Why! “Grandpa says it’s better to have dinner with someone else!”
“The chairman said so today because of a really important story.”
“I don’t know! “I hate grandpa for canceling his promise with me!!”
Swann knows it all too. Even though my grandfather is ancient, he is still a great person who is still working.
So he already knows that we can’t eat together at dinner time. It was an experience that had happened quite a few times.
But.
‘Grandpa needs to rest now.’
Swann, who knew what happened to Chairman Ron, was very worried about his grandfather.
The huge grandfather, who seemed like he could support a mansion this large with his single body, is in pain.
To be honest, disease was not something to be afraid of at the Keitel military company, which was overflowing with money.
No matter how expensive the cost of medical care in the United States is, can it be compared to what my grandfather earns in a month?
‘My grandfather has dementia…’
Unless the disease he suffers from is dementia.
He suffered from an incurable disease that could not be cured even by the money of the Keitel military company.
Dementia leads human life to an uglier destruction than anyone else.
This disease, which can be considered comfortable as it does not cause any physical pain, was a disease so vicious that it made everyone around it difficult.
The worst disease that causes you to gradually lose your memories of your surroundings and eventually lose your entire identity, making you behave like a newborn child.
Just the fact that his grandfather had that disease was very difficult for Swann mentally.
‘Please help my grandfather get better…’
She had never even believed in God, so much so that she opened her window every evening and prayed to heaven to heal her grandfather.
“The person I talked to with the Chairman today is a man named Lee Jin-seok.”
“Jinseok?!”
Swann, who was not planning to see her sick grandfather today because she was disappointed that he was still working when he should be resting, was surprised by the words of the maid coming from outside.
‘That brother came to visit my grandfather…?’
He was having a ton of fun on the beach when he found himself kidnapped. The person he most suspects of having saved him.
I couldn’t help but be surprised to hear that the person I met once today and wanted to see again came to visit my grandfather today.
“You came to visit my grandfather without even telling me?”
“Yes, I don’t know what the conversation was about, but I confirmed that you had dinner with the chairman.”
“Wait just a moment!!”
Swan, who thought he was disappointed that his grandfather was working even though he was sick, suddenly changed the target of his resentment.
‘They didn’t even contact me! This time, you’re just going to meet my grandfather without me knowing and then run away?!’
Before we broke up, he personally gave me his contact information, but he never contacted me.
Swann’s pride was hurt, as he had never been treated like this in his life, but he couldn’t contact him first.
‘How can I make the phone call first?’
In her life, it was natural for someone to do something first.
So, out of pride, I held back the desire to contact him, but today, I ran away after meeting my grandfather without even telling him?
This was something I could never forgive. The meaning of those words was the same as saying that he ignored me.
“Where is Grandpa?!”
“You are in the study room…”
“Sigh! Sigh!!”
“Miss! “You have to come with me!!”
-Thud! Thud! Boom!
“It’s okay! Don’t follow me! “I’m going alone!!”
With the target of his resentment changed, Swan stomped down the hallway like a bulldozer and headed toward the study room where his grandfather was.
———————
-Boom boom!
“Grandpa!!”
After stomping down the hallway to the study room, Swan banged on the door so hard that it broke, went inside, and called for his grandfather.
“Oh my! “My baby has arrived.”
And Chairman Ron, who saw that, smiled and welcomed his granddaughter, as if he had already expected this to happen.
“Is it true that Jinseok came and went?!”
“Hehe… He just left.”
“No! “How could you leave without saying a word when I met you today?!”
“You might be busy, right?”
“Grandpa, too! “If I’m having dinner with that person, I can be there too!!”
“I couldn’t help it because it was about work. I’m sorry about all this extra money, baby.”
As soon as he entered his grandfather’s study, Swann told him everything he had been sad about, and became even angrier when he saw his grandfather smiling kindly and listening to all his complaints.
“Uuuuu!!!!”
However. There is nothing she can do. What else can she do other than get angry?
I wanted to tell him to use his bodyguard to immediately bring back the man who only met his grandfather and left, but that was out of the question.
‘They won’t like it if I do this…’
Even though he is an immature Swan who has grown up from a young age, he definitely knows what not to do.
He was clearly instructed about this by his grandfather and parents, so it was strictly prohibited.
There.
‘You shouldn’t do something like kidnapping…’
She had a record of being kidnapped by real terrorists, so it was impossible for her to kidnap someone.
In the end, all Swan could do was run around the study room where her grandfather was and get angry.
‘She’s my granddaughter, but she’s so cute…’
And Chairman Ron smiled contentedly as he watched his granddaughter stomping around on the study floor like an angry rabbit.
Today, a young man named Lee Jin-seok seems quite upset that he was the only one who went to see him.
Well, it wasn’t long since we met, but the two had so much fun at the beach that they seemed to get along well.
Swan, who always whined and got tired of it quickly, was able to concentrate well for a long time when he was next to him.
‘Is this a match made in heaven?’
Just a moment ago, he felt guilty about asking his favorite granddaughter about her arranged marriage, but looking at him like that, he thought it would be okay.
Of course, there will be no force whatsoever. Just getting the word out.
He loved her granddaughter too much to emphasize that it was an arranged marriage.
‘No matter how important something is, it can’t come before my granddaughter.’
No important matter in the world can come before your own granddaughter.
If Jinseok Lee, whom I met today, had targeted his granddaughter instead of giving her dementia medicine, he would have scolded her and sent her away.
That’s how much Chairman Ron cared for his granddaughter. To the point where I would never change it even if I were given everything in this world.
“Swan.”
“Why!!”
Even now, even though he is jumping around and getting very angry, when I call his name, he responds right away.
Chairman Ron smiled as he looked at his granddaughter, who was making a fuss but answering well, with an expression that said, “I’m furious,” And then got to the point.
“Aren’t you planning on getting married?”
“Grandfather…? What are you talking about?! Why am I getting married!”
“Hehe… I was just asking. “I wonder if you have any intention of getting married.”
“Ha, I’m going to do it…”
It’s so cute how he gets angry as if he’s embarrassed by the marriage story, but then immediately becomes quiet.
It was like seeing a rabbit. Even when he got angry, his weak anger was so cute.
“How about marrying a man named Jinseok?”
“Jin… Seok…? Ha, grandfather!!”
Upon hearing something he had never thought of, Swann blushed and started to get angry at his grandfather again.
