Chapter 430 – Mei Lan, the Daughter of a Chinese Tycoon (10)

“So… You’re the president of Shinryong?”
“Yeah, I had some work.”
“Because what happened…”
“Did you get some ingredients?”
“Yeah! I borrowed money from my sister to buy things and make them. Would you like to see it?”

When I first saw it, I thought it was just a mess in the room, but when I looked closely, there were finished items here and there.
It felt like making, throwing, and making something new again.
It was full of sketches and memos.

Once you saw it, you couldn’t tell where the item was being used.
It would have been fun to slowly chat with her, but it wasn’t appropriate with her guests.

“You are a very passionate young lady.”

I formally introduced Lee Hyun-joo.

“I am an alchemist who will be the director of a special hospital. Her name is Hyeonju Lee.”
“Well, I can feel a wonderful aura.”

“Hello. But you speak Korean very well.”

Lee Hyun-joo first asked what I was curious about.

“When I received the heir class from my father, the first thing I was asked to do was to learn a foreign language. He said that the first thing the president does is to use people well and get along well with people. By the way…”

Mayway asked me.

“Why did you bring me here?”

I said I would give Mayway a present yesterday.
In fact, sending him back to China like this was considered a bit risky.
According to him, there seem to be many enemies there.

It was clear that it would be much more helpful to defend yourself if you could use hunter items or equipment.

“It’s up to the president’s choice. Chairman, do you want to awaken as a hunter in the future?”
“What?”

Mayway put on a blank expression.

“No.”

After saying that, he smiled and shook his hands.

“On the contrary. I was destined from birth to take over the family business. Rather, I thought I shouldn’t become a Hunter. Because a different passion will arise within me. Then I thought that the mind would rather be a conflict factor.”

Well, Maywei’s words had some truth.
People tend to unconditionally envy being born into a chaebol family, but those people must also have difficulties.
Especially if you were born as the eldest son and have to run the family business unconditionally.

“Then that’s fine. I will give you a present.”

I asked Lee Hyun-joo.

“Have you made any awakening items?”
“Absolutely!”

Lee Hyun-joo answered brightly and took out a small medicine bottle from his inventory.
Unlike the other items scattered around her room, the green liquid contained in her was the one she had been diligently keeping in her inventory.
I was able to create the same item in my body.
But there were only two ways to get it out.
To take it out with bodily fluids such as saliva or blood, or use the same method as with Meilan.

Both were difficult methods to use against Mayway.
Therefore, it was nice to see that Lee Hyun-joo created an awakening item.
Of course, I came here knowing it would be the case.

“Awakening… Did you say it was an item?”
“Yeah. It was on the same principle that I awakened my daughter. It’s hard to explain.”
“I can become a Hunter…?”
“It’s a little different from being a hunter. It’s to the extent that you have more mana than normal Awakeners. As a result, you cannot use any other abilities other than strengthening your body. However, you can wear items or equipment that hunters use.”
“Ah, I really do.”

Mayway nodded heavily.

“You mean this lady made this?”
“It would have been difficult on my own. She wouldn’t have been able to make it without Sunggi’s help.”

Hyunjoo Lee looked at me with an embarrassed expression.
Seeing that, Meiwei wondered if her heart was complicated. I coughed.

“Awesome, great.”

As she took the bottle, she saw the wonder in his eyes.
Shinryong Company made equipment and weapons for hunters and was also running an item business.
That was the opportunity for a company famous for home appliances and mobile phones to take another big leap forward.
However, no matter how promiscuous a company may be, there is no way it could have made a drug that awakened the general public.

Meiwei said nothing and continued to stare into the bottle.

“This is really…”
“Don’t do that, try it. That is the gift I am giving you.”
“Yes!”

Mayway opened the bottle cap.
He was the one who put his nose up to the opening and shook it a few times, but I knew the solution didn’t smell much.
Mayway gulped down the solution in one gulp.

He asked me as he licked his lips.

“Is this what it is?”
“Please wait a moment.”

I sharpened my eyesight and peered into Maywei’s body.
I could see the solution I had just entered settled into my body and bloomed like a seed.
The mana created from it spread through the blood vessels throughout the body.

I didn’t have to explain the phenomenon in words.
Surprised, Meiwei suddenly dropped the bottle.

“Ah, I can feel it…”

He placed his hand on his stomach with a curious expression, and alternately flipped the back of his hand and the palm of his hand.

“This is what mana is like. It felt like this…”

Mei Wei closed his eyes and assessed his changed condition.
It was amazing to be able to detect changes in myself so quickly, and I thought it was probably because I had been taking something good for my body for a long time and had become sensitive because of it.
Therefore, his wife must have attempted to poison him by feeding a small amount of poison over a long period of time.

“Now you won’t be poisoned like that. Have your Hunter Healer check you regularly.”
“Yes! Thank you! It’s almost inconvenient to have so much help from you! Let’s talk business! I will support you with anything!”

Lee Hyun-joo looked at me with a curious face.
But if she wanted to tell her all about her circumstances, she would inevitably have to tell her about Mei Lan.
Bringing it up now is inconvenient for Maywei as well.

“Now I’m going to meet Sera, so let’s go together.”
“Yes, it doesn’t matter.”

I also called Alice.
She had to wait a while to see if she was sleeping or researching, but she answered her call anyway.

– Brother! What’s up. Give me all the calls
“Are you busy right now?”
– I’m not busy. Yesterday, the Chinese guys didn’t come to visit, so I slept comfortably for the first time in a long time. The condition is so good. Do you want to have sex
“No, more than that.”

Alice said, ‘Do you want to come over for sex?’ So loudly that I moved a few more steps away from Mayway and Lee Hyeon-joo.

“I have something to talk about. There are people I would like to introduce.”
– Ah~ Is this the business I was talking about before? Okay. But I don’t know where the Chinese kids will pop up, so it’s a bit like that. It might take some time to get away with it.
“The Chinese guys won’t show up anymore.”
– Yes? What do you mean? Ah! Perhaps…
“Yes. I killed them all.”
– Wow, that’s right.

Alice was glad that there were no more bugs to bother her with.
Not only the Chinese guys, but also the Japanese hunters, Wataru’s gang, disappeared here in Busan.

Finally, I contacted Sera Kim and made an appointment.
We decided to meet her at her hotel restaurant, which was owned by her.
She said she would empty her restaurant, so feel free to come.

#

Me, Sera Kim, Alice, Hyunjoo Lee, and even Mayway.
We sat down at a large table and started eating.
There was a justification for eating, but more important was talking about future work.

Maywei, who was sitting next to me, spoke in a low voice.

“Really, there are only women.”

These women were the people I met when I came to Busan.
To be more specific, Katsumi and Meiran are missing, though.
Talking about business was enough with the number of people present.

“How did you meet such a precious person?”

Sera Kim asked me with her eyes shining.
She knew who Mei Wei was without any introduction.
Even though she did a lot of activities in the dark, is it a bit different because she is a hunter with a foot in the business?

“That…”

It was a story that had to be told anyway.
Except for Kaori and Katsumi, no woman knew the story of how she met Meiran.
I decided to tell the story while we were all together.
Even though her father, May Wei, is by her side, it was something she had to endure.

As I continued, the women’s faces showed surprise.
There was nothing special about saving a woman who was kidnapped at the Chinese hunters’ hideout, but it turned out that she was the only daughter of the chairman of Shinryong Corporation, and that I had to use my own abilities to save her. It was enough to amaze those who heard it.
The most shocking part was the fact that the chairman of Shenlong Enterprises was sitting in this seat.

“You are amazing.”

Alice gave a wink and said a word.
