Chapter 426 – Mei Lan, the Daughter of a Chinese Conglomerate (6)

“That is my ability. Through that act, we heal and grow women.”
“It’s a really valuable skill…”

Meilan spoke calmly.

“Actually, my wish was to become a Hunter. Regardless of the situation or the method, I was able to achieve my dream thanks to Hunter.”
“It is difficult to say that I have become a Hunter yet. It’s just that mana is in her body, so the level at which she can use items for hunters. That’s about it.”
“Didn’t Hunter just say that you can grow a woman? Maybe… Is there any way? I will do anything.”

I looked at Meilan.
There was definitely a determination in her expression.
The meaning of doing everything was simple.
I mean, you want to have sex with me.

When I was still, Mei Lan confided in her own circumstances.

“My family has been in business for hundreds of years. Being a conservative family, it was always the eldest son who inherited the business. But in my generation, no son was born. I don’t have any brothers…”

In today’s world, only men, especially the eldest son, inherit the business.
But after all, it was decades ago that Mei Lan’s father, Mei Wei, took over her business, or at least started teaching her successor.
Even at that time, the world had changed enough, but I did not know what the situation would be like in China, not Korea.

“So despite my young age, my family constantly forced me to marry. I saw lines with men every week. I didn’t like any of it. In their eyes, there was only greed to take over their father’s business. Marriage with me was just a means to that end. The stress was at its peak. I thought that when I go to Korea, I will disappear and enjoy my freedom for a while. I made plans with Mingmei for several months. She is very sorry for her. Because this happened because of me. But as soon as she runs away, she is kidnapped. Such a pitiful thing…”
“It’s not Meilan’s fault.”
“My father was also concerned. Even though my family has been in the business for generations, it was my father’s job that made it big. Even though my father was not a hunter, he sensed the changes in the world faster than anyone else. My father is an awake man. And he loves me a lot. Still, it was difficult to convince the elders of the family. But there is something my father hinted at to me when he was drunk. If you had been a hunter, it would have been easier to convince adults. They won’t be able to tolerate the changes in the world any longer. He said that there is no denying that it is unconditionally better for a child who is a hunter, whether it be a son or daughter, to inherit the business.”

Certainly.
Although I do not know the situation in China thoroughly, it was a well-known fact that there were a lot of factions forming and conflicting there.
All flows are centered around the Hunters.
It was clear that many things would be easier if Hunter had taken over the business.

“I cannot use my abilities according to Mr. Meilan’s circumstances.”

I know Meilan’s plight, but I couldn’t use my abilities to meet her needs.
She is the only daughter of one of China’s top 5 companies.
If I had a close relationship with her, it was bound to affect her and what she was doing.
It’s not easy to just control my work.
I didn’t want to do anything to jump into the factional fight in China.

“I understand. Did I tell you? Father is the one who is awake. Once I prove that I am worthy to take over the business, becoming the successor gives me great authority. From then on, to put it simply, I and my father can do whatever they want. China is in a very dizzy situation right now. My father has already said many times that patriotism is wavering. He also said that if he continued like this, he would lose his entire business. I will never do anything that harms Hunter and his country. Rather, I want to use this life Hunter-nim saved for Hunter-nim.”

I understood Meilan’s determination.
In the first place, since she had already been exposed to ‘a crush for no reason’, everything she just said must be sincere.
But she was only the daughter of the chairman of a giant corporation, and she was not the owner of the business.
A definite decision had to be made after meeting her father.

“Ah.”

Mei Lan took her cell phone out of her pocket and she said.

“I got a call from my father.”

She spoke a few words in Chinese and hung up.

“You have arrived in Busan.”

About 10 minutes after contacting me, Meiwei arrived at Katsumi’s house where we were.

He was the image of an ordinary middle-aged man, not very tall.
He was not particularly dressed, and if I had not already known the facts, I would never have thought of him as the chairman of Shenlong Enterprises.
Commonly speaking, I realized that the image of China’s wealthy does not work for everyone.
Rather, it must be that people with a lot of money brag about it.
Like a Korean idiot.
Now, there were many cases where hunters acted like idiots.

As soon as Mei Lan saw her father, she ran to him.
Mei Wei also opened her arms wide and hugged her.
You could tell just by looking at this how special the relationship between father and daughter was.

Mayway didn’t have as many bodyguards as expected.
Only one person followed into the house.
But I could see that he was quite capable.
Among the A-class, it would be the highest level.
It was almost impossible to have an S-class as a bodyguard, and it was also rare to have an A-class hunter as a personal bodyguard.
Since he’s the chairman of Shinryong Corporation, he must have a top-level bodyguard.

Meiwei’s personal bodyguard seemed startled when he saw me, Kaori, and Katsumi.
As a Hunter, he would intuitively feel our level.
It was an expression he had never imagined.

Mayway, looking into her daughter’s face and confirming that she was well, came towards me.

“Thank you very much. If it wasn’t for Hunter, I don’t know what would have happened to our daughter.”
“I feel fortunate too. I almost didn’t even know my daughter was there. If Kaori hadn’t heard her, she would have just come out.”

Meiwei’s gaze turned to Kaori standing behind me.

“Kaori… Are you Japanese?”

He looked back at the scene of the house and looked at Katsumi as well.

“I didn’t know there was a house like this in Korea. There seems to be a story behind it.”
“Yeah.”

Mayway came into the house and we chatted across the table.
Meiwei’s bodyguard made a strange expression when he saw the women in kimonos busy and waiting.
He seemed to see through that they weren’t really living people.

I sat down with tea and some refreshments.

“You must be very tired, but if you need a place to rest, I will arrange it for you.”

If you contact Sera Kim, you could easily arrange something like a hotel to treat guests.

“After knowing that my daughter is okay, the tiredness is gone.”

Appearing to be in her early 50s, no doubt, Mei Wei looked very healthy for her age.
This wasn’t particularly unusual.
Because Meiran also had an abnormally healthy body.
Even the hunters endured even when they were injected with drugs that they struggled with.

‘It must mean that the world has changed that much.’

Although the benefits do not go to the average person, the wealthy are living on healthy foods made with new discoveries and technologies.
I saw on TV one day that there was a health drink worth millions of won in a glass, and when it was Mayway, I would drink that much like water.
It was even weirder if he wasn’t healthy.

Thinking so, I looked at his body and saw something strange.
Something like impurities piled up on each side.
Being an ordinary person, it was only natural that he had no mana.
However, the abnormal symptoms in his body seemed to be caused by mana.
I don’t know why it accumulated like that.

I was about to start a conversation in earnest, but for some reason I was bothered by that.

“You look very healthy.”
“Haha. Thank you My wife pays special attention. In particular, everything I eat is managed by my wife.”
“If it’s a wife, Meilan’s mother…”
“Unfortunately not. Meilan’s mother passed away a long time ago. I had no idea, but I had no choice but to remarry because of her family’s annoyance. It’s called an arranged marriage.”

It was he who held Meilan’s hand as if he suddenly felt sorry for his daughter.

“Well…”

Remarried wife.
And when she was told that Mei Wei took care of all the food she ate, she felt uncomfortable.
Well, it’s not an appropriate topic to bring up right now, so I decided to just skip it.

The first story we talked about was how they saved Meilan and the situation at the time.

“I’ve heard before that there are many Chinese hunters who cross over to foreign countries and cause trouble to that country. I apologize to Hunter on behalf of the Chinese.”
“No. It’s not the president’s fault.”
“I don’t know how to thank you. This child is like my life. It’s as if Hunter saved my life.”
