Chapter 757 – Bugs Seen Even at Gatherings of Rich People
The banquet hall I entered holding Kang So-ra’s hand was quite spacious, as befits the reputation of America’s largest military company.
‘Hey… How much does it all cost?’
It wasn’t just wide. A chandelier hanging from the ceiling, dishes and dishes scattered everywhere.
Everything here was high-end tableware that even I, who is not particularly interested in luxury goods, could recognize.
When I entered the banquet hall, I took a quick look around like a hillbilly, and then looked closely at the people gathered here.
‘Everyone is just having fun.’
I have no interest in America’s rich people or politicians. I’m not interested in Korean politicians, so would I be interested in people from other countries?
All I had to do was ask the system for each person’s information one by one to figure out what kind of person they were.
Let’s take a quick look around at the people in the banquet hall, and they also look this way as if they’ve spotted us.
However, not only did Kang So-ra, who met Ron for the first time today, but no one recognized me as I had a personal relationship with him.
‘Indifference is the best thing to do now.’
Perhaps because they decided it wasn’t a big deal, their gaze quickly disappeared, and they started talking amongst themselves again.
This was actually a good thing because it would be difficult if some idiots came along.
The important thing today is to meet and talk to Ron’s real connections.
There was absolutely no need to waste my emotions by having unnecessary conversations with such poor people.
“Ji-Jinseok… This is my first time doing something like this, what should I do?!”
“You just have to stay still. “Never show yourself embarrassed.”
People still have no idea what kind of people we are, so they don’t approach us.
To put it simply, I don’t know what level of position a person is, so I’m just trying to guess.
The moment you show a disorganized appearance in this situation, you may become a plaything for others.
Of course, I won’t let that happen, and Old Man Ron won’t let that happen either, but why fight a useless fight?
If you want, it’s no big deal to harass people here to the point where they want to die for the rest of their lives.
‘It’s annoying.’
Even so, I have no intention of fighting. It’s too bothersome to even mess with such insignificant people.
Perhaps because I was told to remain confident, I can feel Kang So-ra becoming calmer little by little.
As she slowly took a deep breath, she was about to move to a corner, so she could control her emotions.
“Hello?”
Wherever you go, there are people who cannot contain their curiosity.
The moment you move around as you please in a place where high-ranking people gather, you can be ignored at any time, but the man approaching us didn’t seem to care about that at all.
“Yes, hello.”
As expected, he must have been well-fed and raised because he was a high-ranking person. When a white man who was taller than me extended his hand in greeting, I accepted his greeting and held his hand.
“It looks like this is the first time I’ve seen you at President Ron Keitel’s banquet. Excuse me, may I know your name?”
“My name is Jinseok Lee from Korea.”
“There’s no way a person from the north is coming, so it must be a person from the south?”
“Is that so?”
It was just a simple question, but I felt it clearly during the conversation. The fact that the other person is ignoring me.
Normally, when I introduce myself in a place like this, I first show my name and my position.
However, the white man in front of me is only trying to get this information without introducing himself at all.
What does that mean? Just by looking at it, it looks like you are lower level than me, so they are pressuring you to introduce yourself first.
As proof.
-Aaaaahhh
Because when I first shook hands, I began to feel stronger strength in his hands.
‘Hehe… Have you seen such a lost bastard?’
If I wanted to, I could crush his hand and squeeze it like a juicer, but it’s ridiculous to engage in such a low-level war of nerves.
If you are a person who can participate in the banquet that Chairman Ron has invited, you can see that he is not at a level where he can be ignored, but he is blatantly ignored.
Because of my personality, I wanted to turn him into powder right away, but I held back for now.
I could feel Kang So-ra getting really nervous when someone started talking to her like a cute squirrel next to her.
“Who are you?”
We already know who it is thanks to the help of the system, but we don’t necessarily say it.
If the other person ignored me, wouldn’t the answer be for me to ignore them in the same way?
I usually like Hammurabi’s Code, which is based on the law of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, so I hand it back to the other person, and it’s nice to see the other person’s face.
“Hmm… Are you saying you don’t know me?”
“You didn’t introduce it. Is there any way I can find out?”
Hehe!!”
When I said I didn’t know the person, he kept clearing his throat, probably because he was quite uncomfortable.
At the same time, he was strengthening his grip with which he was still shaking hands, and he seemed to be quite proud of his strength, perhaps because he was large.
‘It’s the same.’
It seemed so strange that he was applying so much force that his grip turned white, so I only applied a little bit of force and crushed his hand.
“Ahh!!”
“Oh, are you okay? “I ended up applying too much force without realizing it.”
Hehe… How dare you!”
With just a little bit of force, the white man’s hand was crushed in an instant, and the white man couldn’t bear it and let out a painful groan.
After hearing my mocking words, he suffered a little more and then distorted his face and got angry.
‘Cause me pain?!’
LeVert Hanson, who tried to overpower Lee Jin-seok but instead felt pain, could not bear this humiliation.
Who are you?
He is acquainted with Ron Keitel, the famous head of America’s top military company.
By subcontracting necessary items from Keitel Enterprises, we have built a close friendship for over 20 years.
His father, Rohan Hanson, is close to Ron Keitel, so no one sees him easily, but being ignored by an Asian man he met for the first time was a huge blow to his pride.
“Oh my, it was just a handshake, so why would you make a fuss?”
“Did you do something like that because you knew who I was?”
“I told you earlier, but did you forget again? “I’m sure he said he didn’t know who it was.”
“Profit!! “How dare you talk about a mere Asian person!!”
As LeVert’s voice grew louder, other VIPs who were talking around him began to take interest.
But.
They did not come forward hastily like LeVert. Everyone knows this. Even if you see him here for the first time, he has a status that cannot be ignored since he has been invited to the banquet.
Of course, LeVert, who did this without knowing anything, gained confidence as other people turned their attention to him.
‘How dare you humiliate me?’
Everyone here has met and talked to him at least once.
So no matter what happened, there were a lot more people who would take his side.
The others were just watching because they did not know the other person’s status yet, but he firmly believed that everyone would help him and came out even more boldly.
“I am the managing director of Hanson Company, which has maintained a close relationship with Keitel Corporation for a long time! “How dare you insult me like this!”
When people’s attention is focused, and when you think that is your territory.
Humans can speak louder than anyone else.
Dogs also make loud noises in their own territory, so is it any different with humans?
Encouraged by people’s gaze, LeVert decided to trample on that hairless Asian with a loud voice.
“Hurry up and apologize!”
“Did I do something wrong?”
“Of course! “Isn’t it natural for me to apologize for causing pain to someone who has maintained a close relationship with Keitel Corporation?”
“Have I ever hit you?”
When I first tried to apply pressure, I grabbed his hand and felt pain, so it came out as a red flag.
The behavior was so outrageous that when I asked about it, LeVert smiled wryly and whispered to me.
“It doesn’t matter that you hit me, what matters is that a mere Asian ignored me.”
“Huh… What a ridiculous guy.”
I can’t even laugh because the executive director of a company does something childish that only kids would do.
But.
LeVert must have thought that I was scared when he saw me, so he smiled even brighter and spoke to me.
“Get down on your knees and apologize to me right now. If you hand over the woman next to you as an apology gift, I will let you go without any problems.”
“Ah… Is that why?”
As he quietly whispered his words, I finally understood why this guy had come to see me.
No, it wasn’t exactly looking for me, it was targeting Kang So-ra next to me.
‘It’s definitely beautiful.’
Kang So-ra, wearing full makeup and a dress to attend the banquet, was truly beautiful.
Most of the people gathered here are old Ron’s acquaintances.
Since everyone is holding a position there, there is no way he would be interested in it as a younger LeVert.
In the meantime, a young and beautiful woman appeared who turned everyone’s attention to her, so she came to target her.
‘If you’re such a bastard, why did you invite old Ron?’
I haven’t been with old Ron for a long time, but I have a good idea of what kind of personality he is.
There is no way the old man would have invited a horny guy who seems to have a dick on his brain, so why is this guy here?
And the system solved my doubts.
[Currently, Rohan Hanson, the president of Hanson Company, is hospitalized due to illness.]
So, we invited the president, Rohan Hanson, but he couldn’t attend due to illness, so we sent his son.
Originally, they would not have caused trouble because they were all older and of higher status, but we came and caused trouble.
At first glance, it was his first time meeting Kang So-ra, and she looked very nervous, so he must have thought that her status was lower than his own.
“I can’t believe such a scoundrel was invited by Chairman Ron Keitel! “This is no different from insulting the chairman!”
When I was alone and wondering how to deal with this bastard.
The guy must have thought his bluff was working, so he looked around and incited people to put more pressure on him.
Everyone must have thought that it would be easier to instigate the Hanson company since they had known him longer than me.
‘I can’t do this anymore.’
I couldn’t leave this guy barking like a dog in heat, so I thought I should deal with it quickly for the sake of Kang So-ra, who was frozen next to me.
Even so, I was frozen because it was my first time at a banquet like this, and I felt even more frozen because of something like this.
Animals cannot communicate with humans. Especially if it is not just an animal but an animal in heat.
I thought there was no need to argue pointlessly here, so I took out my cell phone from my pocket and made a call.
“Are you insulting me again?!”
When I took out my cell phone and called somewhere, LeVert seemed to think I was ignoring him and reached out to take it away.
“Where!”
-Mate!
-Wood!
“Aaaaak!!”
As the dirty man’s hand approached me, I instinctively slapped it away and spoke to the person on the other end of the phone, looking down at the suffering beast while clutching the broken hand.
-What’s going on?
“Young Master, there is a wild beast in heat in this place where high-ranking people gather, and you won’t take care of it?”
-What?!
“He suddenly came and started an argument and said he wouldn’t forgive me if I didn’t hand over Mr. Sora.”
-Now, where are you now?!
“It’s a banquet hall. “If I don’t come quickly, they might put the invoice away soon?”
-Wait a moment! I’ll be there soon!!
At a time when people were confused by the sudden fight and the trash with broken bones was in pain
I waited leisurely, listening to old man Ron says that he would be back soon as he was old.
‘Now that I think about it, where is Swan?’
If Swan had been there, this wouldn’t have happened. Where on earth did he go?
As someone who attended the banquet hall for the first time, I had no idea if she did this at all of her banquets.
