Chapter 140 – Episode 140
The fact that Han Ae-bom stuck her fist in my face was more surprising than the fact that my fist was stuck in my face. Aebom’s poker face, which had never been broken before, suddenly collapsed, and her face became blushing, and now she looked like a 24-year-old woman.
“S-sorry. Mr. Hyunwoo… Without even realizing it. But, you must never look at it! “Never!”
I asked while rubbing my nose casually.
“It was probably written in the first place for other people to see. What if I don’t want to show it?”
“Okay, other people can watch. But the people you live with can’t see it! Especially Hyunwoo and Ohana, just imagine… Ugh!”
Han Aebom grabbed her right fist with her left hand as it tried to go out of its own way once more. I tilted her head. Is that something to be so ashamed of?
“Tsk tsk, just looking at it now, there’s a long way to go. “I’m worried that someone might not be my granddaughter, so I’m stubborn for no reason.”
Han Se-ryong clicked her tongue and said to me.
“I told you to tell me what you want, kid. “What I want is for that child to achieve what he wants as quickly as possible and return home.”
I almost burst into cheers without thinking. Isn’t she asking for a completely raw diet? Because I already promised a long time ago that I would help Han Ae Bom. She is actually grateful to be reminded.
‘But let’s not show it.’
She knows that she is a person with nothing good to show, so when she looks at Han Se-ryong, who is trying to act calm, he sighs. Looking at that figure, this was also a grandfather with a granddaughter.
“If you looked closely, you would know that this kid is not a talented person who can be made by wasting time like this. The value of time itself is different from other guys. Especially when Korea is in a time when there are no answers like these days!”
Even though I ended up getting angry at the end, I kind of understood it. One of Han Ae-bom’s talents that I saw a while ago was ‘management’, so it was also a high grade of SS+. I’m not sure if it’s a time without answers in Korea. Hasn’t this country always had no answers?
‘Isn’t it?’
The biggest crisis I know of in Korea is that the birth rate has hit 0.5. The heads of conglomerates and large corporations probably know more than me, right?
“All right. “I will definitely be there to help Ms. Aebom achieve what she wants.”
Whatever it is, there’s no way I have the right to veto it now. Since it wasn’t a particularly bad offer, he gladly accepted the request, and a double wick lit up in Han Se-ryong’s eyes. Why? Was there anything that offended me among the words I just said?
“You speak well. “If there’s one thing I’ve felt throughout my life, it’s that there’s no one you can trust, even if you’re a good-natured kid who only speaks loudly.”
Yes?
“If you can’t trust me, there’s no point in nodding your head that you’ll understand. The most important thing for a man to become successful is physical strength. When I was your age, I used to work three days in a row.”
No, what on earth is this person talking about?
“So, if you want to be trusted by me, you will have to prove that you have at least that much physical strength.”
Oh my god… Crazy.
This is just far-fetched, far-fetched. Forced action to vent personal anger.
… I thought so.
“At that level, there is nothing particularly difficult for Hyunwoo. “Try as much as you want, Grandpa.”
When I saw Han Ae-bom nodding as if she had expected it, it seemed like it wasn’t all that far-fetched. I think Han Se-ryong is seriously trying to check my physical strength. Why?
‘I’m really going crazy.’
When I came to this family, was there even one clear answer that came to my mind? There are always questions, and it ends with doubts. Am I so stupid that I can’t keep up with the way geniuses think? So what can you do? If your head is bad, you have to get rid of it with your body.
[Let’s get our first recognition from the angry Han Se-ryong! If I am not recognized by Han Se-ryong, everything in the future may become at least 100 times more difficult, so I think I have to wake up no matter what!]
[0/1]
[Reward: 1 million won, Agility +1, Stamina +1, Strength +1, Stamina +1]
More than anything, I think this is what this quest is trying to convey. If the quest speaks so urgently, I have to wake up.
‘There are times when I honestly believe it.’
It was a bit difficult each time, but at this point, I think we have already confirmed how high the stamina +8 value is. If I re-enlisted in the military now, I was confident that I would not only become a special warrior, but also a super-class warrior.
“Mr. Aebom is right. I don’t know anything else, but I can confidently say that my physical strength is amazing. “Let’s try it out to our heart’s content.”
Omg! Within 10 seconds of deciding not to show it, I overdid it. When I see Han Se-ryong with only one corner of his mouth grinning, I feel a belated sense of anxiety. No! How long will he just tremble? That was also a bad habit. He is confident, so there is no need to be afraid.
‘Yes, order anything. ‘I will do it all.’
What, 100 pushups? 100 sit-ups? Or are you going to carry Han Ae Bom and make her sit down and stand up 100 times? If that was the case, I was confident in 1,000. I am the one who took Yoon Su-ah on her cart and climbed to the top of the mountain…
“One of the security team leaders, tell me to come up to the study right now.”
Huh?
I’m confused because nothing matches what I expected, but before I know it, a person wearing a stylish security suit knocks on the door and enters at the same angle as a knife. It was the kind of cut that anyone who served in the military would know.
“Did you find it, Chairman? “It’s been a while, miss.”
“Uh, okay. Team leader Kim. Let’s take this kid from here and run him around all day today. “If you say you’re giving up halfway through, they’ll immediately kick you out of the mansion.”
“…”
He looked like he wanted to say a lot, but one of the security team leaders, a man called Team Leader Kim, nodded his head carefully.
“I understand.”
Seeing how he speaks like a soldier makes me think I’m going to get PTSD.
“What is your name?”
“Ah, this is Hyunwoo Kim.”
“Kim Hyun-woo, please follow me.”
Just as the platoon leader at the training camp was about to come to mind, Han Se-ryong, who was watching from behind, added a word.
“I went to check on it unexpectedly. “If you are seen playing around or even showing off to this guy, your entire team’s salary will be reduced, so just know that.”
At that moment, Team Leader Kim’s eyes changed.
“I will do my best.”
I felt a dizzying sense of fear at the desperate determination in Team Leader Kim’s voice. At the same time, I thought about Han Se-ryong, who was giggling as he sent me away. That man is the devil! A devil disguised as a human!
*
“Today, let’s include this person here and train together. This is a direct order from the Chairman, so make sure no one has any questions or complaints. “They told me in advance that there would be an unexpected inspection, and that if I didn’t like it, they would cut my salary, so just think you’re going to die today and do your best!”
“Yes, I understand!”
“Take it here, Mr. Kim Hyeon-woo.”
Even though I was putting on the weight vest that weighed over 20 kilograms in my hands, I still couldn’t come to my senses. There was a saying that suited this situation.
Where am I… ? Who am I… ?
“Run in step, God!”
“Chuck! Chuck! Chuck!”
I feel this way all the time, as if we have become one body, as if we were originally part of this team, blending in naturally and pacing in unison.
Why on earth am I doing this here?
“The most important thing in security is first… !”
“Stamina!”
“Second one too!”
“Stamina!!”
“Third too!”
“It’s physical strength!!!”
Holy shit, you physical idiots. I think I understand why Han Se-ryong chose these people as his security team. What kind of crazy people train while wearing a 20 kilogram weight vest!
‘It doesn’t usually happen like this.’
In fact, some people appear to be having a hard time even after only a few laps around the large training ground. They were mainly people who were a bit heavier. If you weigh a lot, this type of cardio is difficult. It’s like they’re wearing an extra weight vest.
“People who don’t think they can do better are left aside! But just remember that the newcomer is performing well and calmly!”
Wow, the training method is completely military.
Several large men who tried to fall to the side at that sound clenched their teeth and clung a little longer, but eventually fell.
By the way…
“Turn back!”
“Wow!”
“It’s coming up quickly! How can you protect the object of your protection from danger in that way?”
“No!”
It’s already been 3 hours since I trained in the wind and dust. Rather, I felt my mind gradually becoming clearer.
‘Wow, it was like this?’
I knew that health +8 was a high number, but even though everyone here worked as a bodyguard, I was still the most relaxed. I wondered if everyone but me was wearing a heavier weight vest, but that wasn’t the case.
‘I didn’t know because I had no place to compare it to. This figure of 8 was much higher than I expected.’
Now I understand why I was able to pick on women all day long with just +6 stamina and +8 stamina.
‘Oh my God. So what happens if it gets higher here?’
I just can’t imagine it. Even the result of +8 stamina is still astounding.
As I was sticking my tongue out like this, Team Leader Kim shouted urgently.
“Stop for a moment!”
“Stop!”
Everyone began to take a short, sweet rest by repeating his shouts as if they were alive. But soon, Team Leader Kim realized why he did that and his complexion turned pale.
“Wow, the name ‘security team’ makes me cry. Do you think it makes sense to lose physically to someone who works part-time at a convenience store? Huh?”
Before we knew it, Han Se-ryong appeared with Han Ae-bom and shouted loudly. The conversation with Han Ae-bom didn’t go as planned. He seemed to be in quite a bad mood. Or is it because of me?
“… Sorry! “No shame!”
This time, he looked like he really wanted to say a lot, but Team Leader Kim wasn’t the type of person to say it out loud. He was a quick-witted yet honest person.
“Yes, Team Leader Kim, even so. Looking at the expressions of the kids behind me. Those faces say they don’t understand. “Cluck.”
Han Se-ryong came up to me and patted my shoulder.
“This kid’s physical strength is truly monstrous. If something that is supposed to be a security team ends up like this, it would be a scratch on their pride.”
What kind of trick is this crazy old man up to? Cold sweat trickles down my back. I feel like I shed more cold sweat while facing this person than the sweat I shed while hitting the dick for 3 hours.
“Will it work, won’t it work! Let’s talk!”
“No!”
“Okay, then. Lastly, I need to make sure that I can maintain my pride as a bodyguard. Little one, think that it will be a good experience for you too and accept it.”
“… Of course.”
For a moment, the words I was supposed to say out of my mouth and the cry in my heart were reversed, and I almost cursed inadvertently. At this point, it was just a matter of venting my anger. No, why is this person so anxious for not being able to scold me? Should I be so angry that Han Ae-bom is dependent on me?
It’s unfair, it’s so unfair. As the saying goes, if you are wronged, be strong. As Han Se-ryong said, all I could do as a part-time worker at a convenience store was nod. Damn, I feel so unfair that I want to get ahead.
“Then, tell me who you think is me and come out quickly. “Don’t waste your time.”
“I will do it!”
At the same time, a large, heavy man quickly ran in front of me. He was the first guy to retire while running earlier. That guy is looking at me and grinning. It was a look in his eyes as if he were prey to regain his pride.
