Episode 043 Taeyang Group Chairman Lee Chul-joon

After leaving the gate, Brian immediately left for the Korean branch.

“Then I will return to the Korean branch. It was nice to meet you, Elementalist.”

After he left, we took a break and waited for Minyoung to wake up.

“But, even though you’re the pirate king, there aren’t that many treasures.”

I got what I wanted to get from this gate, but I was sad inside.

I expected it because it was the pirate king, but it was only a few gold bars.

Instead, I was able to get a lot of Class A Awakening Stones from the Sirens.

“joy! Who carries heavy loads of treasure on a boat!”

The aven-inhabited skeleton rattled its jawbone mockingly.

“I think Aven is right. Looking at the log here, the location of the treasures is written in detail.”

Lee Hwi-hyung was looking through the Aven’s logbook.

“impolite! Reading someone else’s journal!”

“The dead don’t speak. But, I’m only speaking on record. I don’t know?”

“Quaaa!”

Aven couldn’t refute Lee Hui’s words and screamed for nothing.

And maybe because of that, Min-young woke up screaming.

“Kyaaak!”

Min-young, who received everyone’s attention, looked around for a while and said.

“What, what happened? the pirate king? What about the skeleton in the bedroom?”

“You’re the kid who was surprised because of me.”

It was Aven, the pirate king, who answered Minyoung.

Min-young, who moved her gaze to the direction where the sound was heard, stiffened for a moment and then collapsed again.

“Minyoung-ah!”

Soo-yeon supported Min-young when she collapsed.

“If you pass out often, it’s not good for your body… … .”

Seeing this, Lee Hwi hyung put the muttering skull in his bag.

“I can’t. You stay here for a while.”

“what! What are you doing! put it down! let me go! Whoop whoop!”

“The dead talk a lot.”

Hwi hyung closed the door of the bag and put it on his back.

“First, let’s go back to the guild. Even if you do, you lose.”

As time passed, the water of the Han River was dyed with the sunset.

We moved the collapsed Minyoung to the car and returned to the guild.

“Chen, come back over there.”

Chen and the Devil, who kept an eye on the Avengers Guild, said as they saw the SUV entering the guild parking lot.

After confirming that Yoo Seo-jun and his party were getting off there, Chen tilted his head.

“By the way, where are the demons?”

The two demons sent to Yoo Seo-jun were not visible.

“Okay, maybe. Could it have happened?”

“What? Nonsense.”

“Chen-nim doesn’t know, but our demons might.”

“No, I know that, but if it happened to them, wouldn’t we be caught too?”

Chen’s words were slightly unpleasant, but the devil didn’t show it and replied.

“I guess they didn’t blow all the way.”

“Hmm, so, does that mean that the dragon was always with Seojun Yoo?”

“Maybe it is?”

“I’ve been there all day, but it must be because it didn’t show up. Let’s go back before we get caught. I need to report it to Taric.”

“yes.”

The lower level demons, Chen and the devil, disappeared as if they had never been there.

In the place where they were, there was only a bleak magi and the grass that had turned black due to its influence.

“You guys, gather around.”

After arriving at the guild, Gilliant said.

“what’s the matter?”

“It’s not different. Looking at it today, everyone can’t speak foreign languages.”

“Did you call to make fun of us?”

When Soo-yeon spoke up, Gillian waved her hand.

“Do I really need to make fun of you? I am going to use communication magic.”

“Communication magic?”

“In the first place, I can talk to you guys because of the influence of the system, but it is also possible with my magic.”

“Then magic can communicate with all languages?”

“If you want to explain the principle, you won’t be able to understand it even for a month, so just feel it with your body.”

Then Gilliant placed his hand on my head and cast a spell.

I felt a white light appearing above my head, and I felt a headache.

“Are you throbbing?”

“It is normal.”

Gilliant then cast a spell on the other team members as well.

“You really mean that with this magic, you can communicate with all languages?”

“Yes. Are you thinking of going abroad? It will help.”

Hearing that, I immediately understood why he was doing this.

“Are you using your hand in advance because you’re worried that interpreting will be bothersome?”

“What, on what grounds!”

Seeing his embarrassment at my point, it was 100 percent.

I couldn’t communicate with Brian in English, so I had an interpreter in the middle, but that was a nuisance.

“Hmm. Well, I won’t deny it.”

When I gave the reason, the guy cleared his throat and turned his head.

Looking at Gilliant’s behavior so far, it seemed that dragons couldn’t lie.

[By the way, Seojun. I have something else to say.]

The time Gilliant had a heart-to-heart conversation was when he wanted to tell a secret story.

“Okay then. Now, let’s clean up and relax.”

I sent my teammates out to talk comfortably with Gilliant.

“I’ll make a schedule with my grandfather.”

“Yes, bro. Let me know when it’s decided.”

Lee Hwi-hyung decided to make an appointment with Taeyang Group Chairman Lee Cheol-joon as planned.

After the team members left, Gilliant transformed into a small dragon and lay down comfortably on the desk.

“Oh, I guess I’ll live a little longer.”

“Is being human that hard?”

“Don’t talk. I feel like I’m wearing clothes that don’t fit.”

“So what are you talking about?”

“Ah, Seojun. I felt the magic at the gate exit earlier.”

“Of course. The gate itself is the dark magic of the demons?”

“It’s on a different level than that. Do you remember the low-class demons we met before?”

“uh.”

can’t remember

It was the first demon I met.

“The magic felt in black magic and the magic exuded by demons are subtly different.”

“So, are you saying there were demons at our site?”

“okay. However, the smell was faint, perhaps because it had been there for a short time. Then Brian showed up.”

Brian was definitely weird.

He said he came from headquarters, but his appearance was too sudden.

“surely. It was sudden.”

One of the things Brian said was that we asked for something at the gate.

When I got back and checked with administration, they said that apparently Brian had asked for our location over the phone.

“Even so, the time when it appeared and the time when Magi remained coincided to some extent.”

It was Gillian’s guess.

It was said that it was the result of calculating the time with Magi’s smell.

“hmm. By the way, if you were a demon, you had to communicate with us through the influence of the system, right?”

That was the biggest question.

I also had a conversation with the lower level demons I met the other day.

But, if Brian was a demon, did he bother to use English?

“It must be to hide that you are a demon.”

“That’s why the hunter certificate wasn’t forged either.”

The hunter certificate shown to us was issued by the real Guard Headquarters.

“Well, there’s nothing wrong with being careful anyway. It seems that the demons are watching us.”

“Then, can you prepare? Like magic?”

It’s a guild that was created somehow, and the fact that we received attention meant that we could be attacked.

“Well, some defensive spells are possible. Let’s hang them around the guild.”

“thank you.”

“Don’t forget the jewelry. Oh, this time I’ll substitute 4 chickens.”

“Thank you.”

A display case filling one wall of the spacious office was filled with rare collectibles.

clap.

Chairman Lee Chul-joon, with his gray hair neatly arranged, entered the office.

Even at the age of 87, he was clean and healthy.

“Grandpa, no, Chairman.”

His first grandson Lee Hyun-seok followed suit.

“Hyunseok, didn’t I tell you? Leave Lee Hwi alone.”

Hyunsuk frowned as if he was dissatisfied.

“I can not understand. Why are you leaving out Hui, the youngest of us, when you let your second wife’s children participate in management?”

At the words that came out of Hyeon-seok’s mouth, Chairman Lee Cheol-joon, who had been calm until then, stiffened his face.

“Since he is the second wife, don’t say that Whi is the youngest child. The new baby also deserves to be a mother to you, and the youngest of your seven siblings is Hyejeong.”

“grandfather!”

“I understand that you are upset with your new daughter-in-law, but she is still your mother and the one who has raised your siblings well. Stop talking about that!”

Having said that, Chairman Lee Chul-jun kept his mouth shut.

Lee Hyeon-seok, who knew that it was a banquet, could not argue further.

“All right. Still, I have to bring Hui back.”

Lee Chul-jun thought to himself as he looked at Hyeon-seok’s back after saying hello.

‘chisel. devil. Have you still not forgotten your mother?’

Meanwhile, Cheoljun Lee looked at the two family photos on the desk.

One picture shows Lee Cheol-joon, his son Lee Soo-hyeok, vice chairman Lee Soo-hyeok, and Lee Soo-hyuk’s first wife, Jung Jae-hee, together with their three brothers.

In the photo, Lee Hui was a young elementary school student.

And in the photo next to it, Jung Jae-hee was left out, and Vice Chairman Lee Soo-hyuk’s second wife, Ha Jin-seon, and seven siblings were together.

Tiriling.

Just then, the phone on the desk rang.

When Chairman Cheol-Jun Lee lifted the receiver, he heard the secretary’s voice from the other side.

“Okay, what happened?”

– The third grandson asked to see you.

“Which kid? What kind of wind did it blow?”

– Seeing that he is coming with elementalist Seojun Yu, it seems to be related to the guild.

“Um, I was curious, but that’s great. Let’s schedule it.”

-All right.

Lee Cheol-jun, who put the receiver down, was smiling happily.

‘It’s the first baby. A promise to let me do what I want to do as much as Lee Hui. Be sure to keep it.’

“and.”

“Do you know how many admiration times you have now?”

Doesn’t it look amazing?

After making an appointment with Chairman Lee Cheol-jun, a limousine arrived in front of the guild on the promised day.

It was a series of surprises from then on.

The place I arrived by limousine was a huge mansion.

When I went inside the wall like a castle wall, there were three houses.

Among them, the place we entered was the middle house.

“The left side is where Vice Chairman Lee Soo-hyuk and his wife stay. On the right side, the first son, Mr. Lee Hyeon-seok, and his wife live.”

It was the explanation of the person who guided us.

“Come this way.”

After following him into the living room, I couldn’t help but admire again.

There were all sorts of expensive-looking art and collectibles.

“Did you tell me? Grandpa likes this.”

It was as Lee Hwi-hyung said.

Chairman Cheol-jun Lee said he was interested in adventure movies, treasures, relics, and ruins, and he was telling me that the items in the living room were true.

“Come soon.”

I was about to carefully sit down on the luxurious sofa when Chairman Lee Chul-jun came down the stairs.

I knew he was over 80 years old, but Chairman Lee Cheol-joon looked so healthy and neat that he looked 10 years younger.

He descended the stairs slowly, but from his appearance, it felt more like an accomplished man’s composure rather than cautious because he was an old man.

Chairman Lee Cheol-joon exuded such an overwhelming energy.

“Grandpa, have you been well? Sorry for not visiting often.”

“hahahaha. Hwiya, it’s been a while.”

Lee Hui-hyung greeted Chairman Lee Chul-joon with a charming act.

The appearance of the two people was that of a grandfather and grandson without fail.

Did your brother have anything like that? But, Chairman Lee Cheol-joon reached out to me first.

“Are you Seojun Yoo? Nice to meet you.”

“hello. I am Elementalist Seojun Yoo.”

“Sit down. What about tea?”

“Deaconess, please give me the usual quince tea.”

“Yes, Bocchan.”

“Give me the same, too.”

Chairman Lee Cheol-joon, who was watching me closely, said.

“I do the same thing. Food should be unified so it comes out faster, right? isn’t it? ha ha ha.”

My first impression of Chairman Lee Cheol-jun was that he was not as hard and difficult as I thought.

However, on the other hand, that kind of appearance made me feel wary.

[You’re a formidable grandfather.]

‘Did you feel that way too?’

[Can you feel the bones in the horse?]

‘I heard you well.’

If you listen comfortably to the phrase ‘Unification is necessary, it will come out quickly’, it may not mean anything, but it was a word choice that somehow made me conscious.

“Yes, Whee. How have you been? I emptied all my schedules today to see my grandson after a long time, so feel free to talk about it.”

“Wow, Grandpa emptied his schedule? because of me? Is this really impressive?”

“Heh heh heh.”

After that, Lee Hui-hyung told me what kind of study he had been studying, how he met me, and what he had been doing since he met me.

Chairman Cheol-jun Lee listened to Hwi-hyung’s words wholeheartedly.

“Annit! The skeleton moved?”

“Yes, Grandpa. So I brought it to show my grandfather.”

Saying so, Lee Hui-hyung took out the pirate king Aven’s skull, necklace, and voyage log from his bag.

“Puha! damn bastards! How dare you imprison the pirate king! what? Where else are you? old man! What else are you?”

As soon as Aven got out of the bag, he started talking.

Seeing this, the butler’s face became contemplative.
