"Nickname Hwang Yong-min. Assuming this is your real name, there are dozens of people with the same name across the country. but… … ."
Ahn Sang-cheol said with his eyes shining.
"Assuming they are in their 20s living in Seoul, the number is narrowed down to five."
"Are you sure you're in your 20s?"
Ahn Sang-cheol nodded to Ma Gyeong-rok's question.
"He said he was a young man in his 20s who wanted to become a gangster, so the possibility is high."
"What is the location?"
"The investigation office said it would take more than a month to accurately trace the home addresses of five people."
"It's been over a month… … Then, we will only know the results after the fourth round."
"yes. "There is no rush, so I think you can wait slowly."
"Is there another name?"
"One of the people in the group, Seunghan Kim, also uses a nickname that is presumed to be his real name. We are also tracking him down, but it will take more time because it is a common name."
"is it so?"
Ma Gyeong-rok, who had finished his appetite with regret, poured himself some whiskey and asked.
"How much gold have you collected?"
"I have about 10,000 gold."
"You've collected 50%."
Ma Gyeong-rok poured whiskey into his mouth.
gulp-
"The store has a common skill called tracking. As I said before, learn it as soon as you have 20,000 gold. "I don't know if it will be useful in the future."
"All right."
Ahn Sang-cheol did not look dissatisfied even though he was told to learn skills instead of him.
I just think that I need to save 20,000 gold as soon as possible and help the CEO.
"Ah, CEO."
Ahn Sang-cheol opened his mouth at a thought that suddenly occurred to him.
"I couldn't tell you because I was out of my mind, but there is a shareholder who bought a large amount of stock in your company last month."
Ma Gyeong-rok's head tilted.
Because there were more than one business being carried out.
"What do you mean by my company?"
"This is Cheonma Consulting, which we are currently focusing on."
"ah."
Cheonma Consulting was the largest business and one that Ma Gyeong-rok was putting a lot of effort into.
'It's a company I started to gain recognition from my father.'
My father said.
He said he would decide the proportion of property to be passed on depending on the success of Cheonma Consulting.
'It's still not bad if it's ranked 85th on the KOSDAQ, but... … .'
A company that is not listed on the KOSPI appears to be an old-fashioned company in my father's eyes.
"There is a major shareholder who bought Cheonma Consulting? "What is the stake?"
"Don't be surprised. "It's a whopping 31%."
"yes?"
Ma Gyeong-rok couldn't believe his ears.
At 31%, he is the largest shareholder.
"One person bought 31% of the stocks?"
"yes. "I couldn't believe my eyes while looking at the monitor."
Cheonma Consulting's market capitalization is KRW 900 billion.
31% means that 280 billion won was invested.
'An individual has that much money?'
Are you a chaebol? Or a prank by one of the brothers?
'It is clear that they invested 31% to directly participate in management.'
Ma Gyeong-rok thought.
Whatever happened, I need to meet him.
"What is the contact information for that major shareholder?"
* * *
Ryu Min returned to reality and looked at the date.
'It's about time I got a call.'
What he was waiting for was a call from Ma Gyeong-rok.
We invested 280 billion last month, so it's impossible not to know.
Of course, he could have contacted me first.
'The majority shareholder has respect.'
Since I expected to be contacted, there was no reason to go forward.
at that time.
"brother! "What level is it?"
The door burst open and Ryu Won came in.
"Why are you asking that out of the blue?"
"There is a boy in my class who is showing off, and he brags about his older brother's high level in the group chat."
"okay? "How many?"
"They said it was 11. "I already have a job."
'11?'
Ryumin, who almost snorted for a moment, regained his composure.
"Don't worry, my level is higher."
"How many?"
'How many?'
It should be neither too high nor too low.
"12."
"uh? really? "So you already have a job?"
"huh."
"What is it, what is it? "What is your job?"
Ryu Min dismissed his younger brother's interest with one word.
"secret."
"Oh, what is it? "Where are the secrets between brothers?"
"there is. So get out now. "I'm going to sleep better."
As I lay down on the bed as if I was tired, Ryu Won took a step back.
"Hing, okay. Get some rest."
The door was closed, but Ryumin did not close his eyes.
I might get a call in a little while, but there was no way I could fall asleep.
'I should buy some common skills.'
I opened the store window and purchased the common skill I originally wanted to buy.
20,000 gold was taken out and 8,000 gold remained.
'I should use the remaining money to buy epic items that will be released in a few days.'
In one week, the epic item you want will appear in the store.
'I'll have to meet Ma Gyeong-rok before that.'
Meeting Ma Gyeong-rok is important.
For the company, it was no different from a meeting with a major client.
'Of course, it doesn't lead to a close relationship. 'You need to keep a distance from it and use it as a card that you thoroughly use and then throw away.'
To do that, you have to pretend to hold hands with the other person and be aware of the situation at their bedside.
This is why you need the Rune of Inner Heart.
'You can get it in just three days. The rune of the inner heart.'
At that time, the cell phone trembled.
'come.'
Calls from unsaved numbers.
However, Ryu Min immediately recognized that it was Ma Gyeong-rok's number.
"Yes, I received a call."
-Are you Ryu Min?
"yes. But what?"
-hello. My name is Ma Gyeong-rok and I am the CEO of Cheonma Consulting.
"Oh, hello."
Ryumin deliberately made a sloppy voice.
I was going to start working on image making from now on.
The more easy you appear, the more likely you are to catch the other person off guard.
-You invested a large amount of money in our company last month, right?
"yes. But what happened... … ."
-It's no different because you have become the largest shareholder of our company and I wanted to at least meet you face to face. I would like to at least treat you to some food.
"ah… … Okay."
-great. So how about seeing you this Friday?
'friday?'
Friday is an important day to obtain the Rune of the Inner Heart.
It is better to meet him after obtaining the rune.
"Oh, I couldn't do it because I had work to do at the time… … "How about the next day, Saturday?"
-Yes. That will be fine. See you then.
As the call ended, a faint smile appeared on Ryumin's lips.
'I thought Ma Gyeong-rok was going to call.'
Cheonma Consulting is a company that he intensively manages.
There is no way to treat a major shareholder who invested 31% of such a company poorly.
'There's definitely going to be a lot of talk about the right to operate.'
At that time, Ryu Min plans to appeal his value to Ma Gyeong-rok.
So that you have no choice but to hold his hand unconditionally.
'But before that, I have to obtain the Rune of the Inner Heart.'
First, I closed my eyes to make up for the lack of sleep.
There are 3 days left until Friday.
There is still plenty of time.
* * *
There are various ways to obtain runes.
You can come out by catching a boss monster, or you can find it in a specific location in a specific round.
It may appear as a special reward for the round, or may even be dropped by regular monsters.
'It's an extremely low probability, though.'
People will realize.
How hard is it to get runes?
But you will know how.
That's because it's difficult to implement.
'but.'
There is a method that people don't know about.
'I don't know if you can get it in real life.'
You may think that you have to kill monsters or perform quests in the other world to obtain runes.
'You can get runes in real life too.'
It is called a hidden rune.
This is because it is not a rune that can be obtained normally.
Of course, there are not many of them.
'About five at most?'
Can you get five runes in real life?
If people knew that fact, they wouldn't be idle.
Even after the round is over, I will still keep my eyes peeled and search for you.
'Of course I don't need to do that. 'Because I know where to go to get the runes.'
Is it just location?
We also know that it appears under certain conditions.
'If a specific condition occurs in the place where the rune is hidden... … .'
You will be able to get runes.
This was the reason Ryu Min was hiding in an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Gyeonggi Province.
'Jang Seok-hyeon will appear in a little while.'
Nickname [Jang Seok-hyeon].
His real name is Jang Seok-hyun.
It's an unforgettable name.
He is none other than the criminal who kidnapped his younger brother.
'Although it happened a long time ago, in the 11th episode... … .'
I still remember it clearly.
The voice of the guy telling me to give up information if I want to save my younger brother.
'I can't even forget what it looks like. Because it reminded me of some kind of beef loaf bread.'
That little guy had a rune in his heart.
Because of that, he was discovered to be a returnee and even his younger brother was kidnapped.
'This is why I don't reveal to my younger brother that I am a regressor.'
Revenge against Jang Seok-hyeon has already been carried out.
From episode 11 until now.
Therefore, there are no emotional gaps left.
'I just use it.'
Even though we are not in the same area, we cannot meet in another world.
There is no other way but to communicate with reality like this.
'Of course, if the districts are integrated, we will be able to meet someday... … .'
There is no way to steal the rune of the inner heart unless it is now.
That's why I remember the date today, Friday, March 4th.
'Before he gets it, I get it. and… … .'
A sneer escaped from between twisted lips.
'Kill him.'
Ryumin's eyes turned to the corner of the system.
[The location of the target 'Jang Seok-hyeon' has been determined.] [Currently located at a distance of 2,285 m.] [Currently located at a distance of 2,221 m.] [Currently located at a distance of 2,160 m.]… … … … … …
… … … …
Seeing that the distance is rapidly decreasing, it looks like they are traveling by car.
'Judging by the distance being narrowed, they must be coming this way.'
The corners of Ryumin's mouth turned up.
The welcoming sea.
'We'll wait here in the abandoned factory until he arrives.'
Ryumin spent time in an abandoned factory filled with silence.
Then, when the distance with Jang Seok-hyeon narrowed to less than 100 meters.
Tsuuuuut-
Wearing equipment.
He is armed with a large scythe in his hand.
However, the face cannot be covered.
'Just in case you don't know, it would be better to hide your identity.'
I took out the mask I had prepared in advance.
It's a common face-shaped white mask available on the Internet.
'This is enough to cover your face.'
Wearing a mask and hiding in the dark, we prepared to welcome guests.
at that time.
Jumble-jump-
Jang Seok-hyeon appeared.
'You finally showed up.'
It's a face you can't recognize.
And the woman on his shoulder is also… … .
