Chapter 185 – [Raccoon Man Beginning]
An employee dressed in a neat attire was waiting in front of the entrance of the party hall. People who look like security guards are often noticeable nearby, so it seems that all Korean VIPs are coming.
“Second, I’ll check the invitation”
The staff at the entrance spoke to us. To be precise, he stuttered when he saw Zion.
As for the response of the hotel staff, stuttering is a point deducted as a service worker, but I want to praise that even without makeup, it ends at the level of stuttering in front of a dressed up Xion.
“Confirmed. I’ll guide you to your seat.”
Following the guidance of the staff, I escorted Zion and went inside. We were greeted by the hotel’s spacious hall, which was specially prepared for the event.
It wasn’t a castle, but the ceiling was illuminated by beautiful chandeliers, and the guests who had already arrived earlier were laughing and talking to each other.
We were guided to a table slightly to the right of the center. Judging from the fact that there is already a piece of paper with Shion’s name written on it, it seems that each person has a designated seat.
“There is also a finger food corner where you can eat simply.”
“Would you like to eat at a place like this? So I ate a lot for lunch too.”
“Wouldn’t it be less likely to talk to you if you were eating something?”
“Oh, that’s it too”
The party hall was spacious, but it wasn’t like a buffet where you can eat right away. It’s just that some finger food and alcohol are available, but meals can probably be ordered separately after a while.
I thought it would be better to drink something for now, so I got up with Shion and moved to that corner.
Since the family of the chairman of the Daesung Group has not yet attended, all eyes and attention are focused on us. No, to be precise, to Zion.
Most of the people at the party were a little older, so there were only a few young people, including myself, in their 20s, and the youngest in their 30s, but both men and women, all eyes were on Zion.
Since ancient times, beauty is what attracts the interest of both men and women. Moreover, I can feel the plastic beauty of Shion like a doll. To put it badly, it means that it is hard without humanity, and to say it well, it is perfection that cannot be achieved as a human being.
Those who are a bit older and seem to have come with a couple seem to be restraining themselves, but those who are still unmarried seem to be trying to say something.
“Do you want to do that even though you have an owner?”
“Ordinary people don’t look at a beautiful woman’s face, but they don’t look at her left ring finger. Maybe she’s just a girlfriend, and she’s full of thoughts about scoring a goal.”
“I don’t want to generalize that I’m the same guy, but I admit that.”
Sexual desire is one of the three major human needs. And liking beautiful women is an expression of that kind of sexual desire. Women like handsome men too. If there is a handsome man like Wonbin in front of her, isn’t it the same as a woman who wants to talk to her even if she is wearing a wedding ring?
After all, it is human nature to be attracted to handsome women. But that’s a different story than doing it to someone who owns it.
No matter how much the crime of adultery has been eliminated, it means that criminal punishment is impossible, not that it will not go over to civil cases. Sue you! If so, you may be able to take legal action.
“Hello? I’m Lee Seung-hoon from UK Electronics. Excuse me, may I ask for your name?”
“Ah, my name is Choi Si-on.”
“I didn’t expect such a beautiful person to be present at a place like today. But who is next to me…?”
“This is my husband”
“It is said to be the worst.”
I hate the way my eyes look at people. If you are just an ordinary person, whether you have malicious or good intentions, you can only see the good side by looking only at the surface, but in my case, I can clearly see the malice, so I can’t ignore it even if I want to.
The reason why I suddenly say this is because as soon as I said that it was my husband, hostility rose to the gaze flying at me. It’s rather funny because it’s so blatantly malicious.
There is nothing more disrespectful than a man’s jealousy…
“Isn’t UK Electronics a subsidiary of the UK Group? What is your relationship with the chairman?”
“……Do you know our president?”
“I also have a close relationship with the UK group. If you become the president, you probably know about me.”
Oh, I came out to talk about it.
To explain the meaning of what Xion said just now, it means ‘I am as familiar as the president, so will you be the military number to approach me?’ It’s very difficult to talk about this side of things, but I can understand it because I have heard it.
Hearing this, his complexion hardened for a moment. But he soon regained his composure and smiled kindly.
“Oh, I see. Excuse me. Have a good party with your husband.”
He tried to eat it, but it was so hot that he burned his tongue and ran away. But rather, it seems that he thinks that it is fortunate that the tongue is burnt.
“Do you have a stake in the UK Group?”
“I’ve collected stocks of quite a few large companies. Don’t you know that you have a collector’s temperament?”
“But I don’t collect stocks of large corporations as if I were completing a book.”
If you said that you knew the chairman, it would not be a stock at the level of an ant shareholder. What the hell are you doing with stocks?
What I am confident in is using my body, and what Shion is confident in is using my head. Among them, calculation. That is why it is difficult to understand what Zion is doing.
If there’s one thing I can say for sure, it’s that people don’t die. That’s why I absolutely trust and entrust Zion with whatever it does.
If Zion has something to kill, that’s my job.
“Keuheum! Will you be okay for a while?”
While I was eating a dish with boiled eggs cut into flat pieces and shrimps on top, someone else started talking to me.
It’s not that he’s overweight, but the fat sticking to his face shows off his inner greed. He was looking at Zion with eyes full of desire that he could easily understand.
Ah, where did you see this guy? Even though I’m not interested in politics, I often see him when I turn on the TV. Was it the ruling party powerhouse?
But when did you see it?
“Aren’t you Congressman Kim Yong-jin?”
“Oh! You know me?”
“There are many stories I have heard about. Ah, my name is Choi Si-on.”
Upon hearing the name of Shion, Congressman Kim Yong-jin thought for a bit and then nodded his head with a surprised look.
“This, someone said, it must have been the CEO of Shion.
“Thanks to awakening as a Force user not too long ago, my daily life became possible.”
“That’s good news.”
“Oh, this is my husband.”
“It’s the worst. It’s nice to meet someone who is busy with construction.”
His tone changed a bit. It was because when he learned that Shion wasn’t just a pretty looking person, he had his own personal connections there, and he figured out that he wasn’t the kind of person to carelessly touch.
This type is strong against the weak and weak against the strong. If you think you’re definitely superior, you’ll get all kinds of bullshit. I’m glad he’s the one on our side.
“I haven’t heard of you getting married, have you?”
“Yes, it’s because we got married this year. It’s natural that you don’t know because we weren’t in a situation where we were going to hand out wedding invitations. We only submitted the documents and didn’t hold a ceremony.”
“Ah, that’s right. If you plan to have a wedding later, even if it’s late, please give me a wedding invitation too, heh heh heh!”
Other people might think it’s an exciting laugh, but even so, you can see everything inside.
He’s probably trying to grab something to eat. In the first place, if this person was moderately invited, there is a 99% chance that he would have quarreled and aimed at Zion.
Seeing that he avoided needless troubles, it seems like the right thing to say is that people need to be treated in order to be treated.
“By the way, the president of Daum Shion is not interested in politics?
“…Isn’t it rare to find someone like you in the political world?”
Haha! That’s right. But if you need anything, please remember this Kim Mo.”
“I’ve heard your story, so please don’t worry.”
I scratched his back moderately and told him some good stories, and then he left satisfied.
It’s just a façade, but what he’s saying is that he’ll provide convenience if you poke him some money. But for Shion, who doesn’t have to worry about the government, that’s not a story of much merit.
The biggest flaw for a business owner is, of course, taxes. There is no limit to being caught for tax evasion. Because there is no one who doesn’t come out of dust by shaking it off.
But Zion is not human. Since all taxes are processed computerized, there is not a single penny error. If they play around with taxes and forcefully arrest them… That’s a fabrication, so it’s something I have to step up in, right?
“I don’t care about people like that…”
“That’s why I don’t like parties like this either. It’s better to just have a barbecue party with Baekri and Ruri students at home.”
“Honestly, that’s why I didn’t want to come.”
Being honest with your desires is not a bad thing. But I hate it because that desire is dirty.
If you let go of greed, you can be happy and I can be happy, but people become ugly because they only take care of their own selfishness.
Aren’t I selfish too?
As long as I have Zion, I am satisfied. If there is nothing but Zion, everything is satisfied, but there are too many bastards who can’t allow that.
“Suddenly, a boss mob will appear”
“Boss mob? Ah…”
The family of the chairman of Daesung Group entered the party.
Even on the way to the party, they are surrounded by many people, shaking hands, laughing and talking, and it takes an hour to sit down.
The president and his wife enter first, followed by their children.
Among the children entering behind, a familiar face stands out.
He also looked this way. And I met his gaze.
There is no way people will not recognize me next to Xion just because my image has changed because of makeup. At once, both me and that guy’s faces were wrinkled.
“You’re finally coming.”
To be honest, even the nickname ‘slut’ is too much for an NTR chump who flirts with other people’s wives.
* * *
After all, he and I didn’t face each other. It was because he didn’t come running as soon as he saw me.
It’s annoying because you keep trying to do that guy. What was your name… First of all, I’m sure of Lee’s last name. Is your name Seongsu? A constant? What was it Honestly, I don’t even know what it is because it’s not even worth remembering.
The chairman’s family sat at the best table in the center, but his eyes were always on Zion. He occasionally gave me hostile glances, but I ignored them.
“……Sorry for bringing you to this place.”
“It’s okay. It’s like this anyway, but if you sent it alone, I wouldn’t have felt more comfortable.”
“No matter what you do, I will shield you, so don’t worry and play it.”
“That’s good”
Whether it was a birthday or not, the ceremony passed by. The host came out and chatted and there were various performances, but to be honest, I didn’t catch my eye.
Even the meal was hotel cuisine, but little interest aroused. I just thought I was replenishing my energy by stuffing it into my mouth.
After a few ceremonies were over, the guests were given free time. Many people flock to Zion and most to the president’s family, but I have only one purpose. It seems the guy is the same.
He sneaked out of the crowd and stood in the corner of the party, when he approached.
He has a handsome face, but why does he look so skinny to me?
“It’s been a while?”
“Are you half words from the beginning?”
“Aren’t you and I supposed to talk respectfully?”
“Then let me speak”
When two men fight over a woman, it is ambiguous for either side to take sides, but it is a different story when there is already an owner. The other party was obviously at fault, and as long as Zion was involved, I had no intention of putting up with it.
He took his phone out of his pocket and read something.
“Worst name, born in 1998. After losing both parents during the Great Depression, he was left at a facility and grew up. After a decent school days, he enlisted. After serving in the 27th Division’s Engineers Battalion, he was discharged and married a few months later with Zion… Well, what was wrong? Is there?”
“Did you do a background check?”
“I don’t have a hobby of doing background investigations on men, but I thought I might need it this time.”
“This bastard is a complete psycho”
I can’t say that I don’t do behind-the-scenes investigations, but I don’t have the maniacal hobby of doing behind-the-scenes investigations on my husband’s side out of covetousness. Honestly, at that level, aren’t you a mentally weird guy?
It wouldn’t have been that difficult to reveal my identity. As long as Xion is now openly leading a social life, it is inevitable that he will stand out, and finding out someone’s identity is not a task if he wants to.
“So, in the end, did you come here because you had something to say?
He looked at me and laughed. An eye that clearly sees the person beneath it. Certainly, on this planet, socially, I am not superior to anything else.
He’s not even handsome, both of his parents are deceased, let alone the president of a company, and money is the same as if it wasn’t Zion. Everything is lagging
It’s not social, but it’s military, but I’m far over the value, but externally, I’m not even a force user.
“People like her don’t suit you. Break up with her”
“Poop!!”
At his words, I laughed rather because this guy was fucking pathetic.
