Chapter 96 – A Look That Suits Me Now

I couldn’t just be happy that I had new skills and special abilities.
I had to think about the meaning of Han Yeon-joo’s meaningful words to me.

I am her destiny
This was as puzzling as it was for me to regress and grow under the influence of the system.

“I’m Sunggyu…”

Choi Ju-ri, who was standing quietly behind me, put her hand on my shoulder.
For her part, of course, she would think that the atmosphere back home was unusual.
I’d be worried too.

I told Han Yeon-joo to refresh her mood.

“Since you accepted the condition, tell me now. When to awaken, and how to awaken.”
“Hmm…”

Han Yeon-joo looked tired for some reason.
Did I see any visions while holding my hand and reading fortunes?
Anyway, she didn’t seem to have the energy to think or say anything else right now.

“I’ll come back tomorrow. Talk to you again then.”

I got up.
Han Yeon-joo said with a desperate expression.

“You must come. Otherwise I will find you.”

She seemed to have some certainty.
Anyway, I had no intention of running away from her.
100% sympathy…
Besides, she told me about her fate and that the system she had regressed would have a profound impact on her future life.
Anyway, Han Yeon-joo and I were destined to become entangled.

“Don’t worry.”

As she turned around, Choi Ju-ri was a little taken aback.

She asked as she pulled out her wallet.

“How much do I have to pay? Cards don’t seem to work, and I don’t have much cash…”

Han Yeon-ju looked up at Choi Joo-ri with a puzzled expression.
She wasn’t here to make money.
According to her own words, she was setting up a store here, possibly on some revelation to meet me.

“No, just go.”

I dragged Choi Ju-ri.
Behind the two of us leaving the store, Han Yeon-ju said as if driving a wedge.

“You must come tomorrow!”

“Whoa…”

For some reason, I broke out in a cold sweat.
The reason I came here was that I might be able to find a clue that would awaken Choe Ju-ri.
As expected, Han Yeon-joo seemed to know how to awaken people with awakening potential, but everything else was unexpected.
I couldn’t figure out how to interpret these.

“Are you really going to come tomorrow?”

He nodded at Choi Ju-ri’s question.

“No matter how he looks, he is a great person. I’m an S-class Hunter.”
“What?”

Choe Ju-ri was startled and looked inside the store again.

“She’s hiding it, so she doesn’t have to pretend to know. Just go There will be a connection somehow later.”
“How did you know?”

Choi Ju-ri looked at me with curious eyes.

“I just found out by accident. Did you know now? It’s real that noona is awakening as a hunter. It’s a fortune telling by an S-class hunter, so you have to believe it unconditionally.”
“I’m a hunter…”

Choi Ju-ri’s expression became complicated.

Generally, people are happy to tell you that they have the potential to become hunters.
However, Choi Ju-ri was not in a position to do so.
She was the CEO of a company that was on the fast track of growth, and running her company was both her father’s legacy and his legacy.
She said she wouldn’t give up her company even if now she came and she became a hunter.
If that’s the case, nothing has fundamentally changed since she was a normal person.

“Don’t think of a hunter as just someone who goes into a dungeon and fights monsters. The spectrum of Hunter abilities is very broad. Basically, you will have strong stamina and concentration. It means whatever you do will help.”

For example, if Ju-Ri Choi’s awakening ability was her craftsmanship, she would be able to develop and make products herself.
If she has the ability to ‘appraise’ or ‘analyze’, she will have an excellent ability to discriminate between products and judge the possibility of success.

“That’s true… I never thought of it like that. It’ll be really fine… Once she becomes a Hunter.”

When she said that it would help her business, Joo-ri Choi’s attitude changed dramatically.

“Thank you, Sunggyu. Did you bring me to that woman on purpose? To do fortune-telling.”
“Yeah, I had a feeling for some reason. I think my sister can become a Hunter.”
“Feeling…”

I thought I used that word too much today.
I expressed it as ‘feeling’, but in reality it should have been ‘confidence’.

In any case, it was good to avoid having Choi Ju-ri think about me strangely.
At least for now.

“Since we’re done with our business here, let’s go to a place that noona likes. Let’s go on a date, we.”
“Date?”

Choi Ju-ri was surprised.

“Hyeyeon would be sad to hear it. How are you dating me?”

When she saw her blush, she thought she was cute.

“That is what it means. It means that we should definitely change our mood.”
“Ah…”

Choi Ju-ri lowered her head, as if embarrassed.

“Haha, anyway, let’s eat first. I am hungry.”
“Huh…”

We left the Yongsan Underground Shopping Center and headed towards the parked cars.

#

Her original intention was to make Choi Joo-ri feel better after she suddenly went through a series of shocking events.
So she took her out of her company…

After eating her meal, the places she dragged me around were department stores, luxury shops, and imported car stores.

People didn’t recognize her at all because she was wearing sunglasses and a mask – her performance was unusual, but in fact, Choi Ju-ri’s face had never appeared on the news. I went to raise her tension.

What she intended was to embellish me.

Now I am no ordinary college student.
She signed a ‘recovery potion’ contract and earned billions of dollars from the down payment alone, and the amount of money that would come from it in the future would be an amount beyond her imagination.

In a word, one recipe contract turned his life around.

Choi Ju-ri seemed to want to personally confirm my changed social status.

After all, Choi Ju-ri was also from the upper class.
Even when not under her husband’s halo, she was the head of a pretty big company.
She was accustomed to buying her luxury goods and expensive imported car contracts.

He seemed to take great satisfaction in choosing my clothes and accessories and trying them on.
At first she tried to buy them for herself, but I refused.

I didn’t intend to keep the money I received as a down payment anyway.

Because I realized something while living my second life.
It was true that there is a time to enjoy anything.
It is meaningful to suffer and endure for later, but in many cases it does not lead to a price.
My life was a successful life that most people would envy, but as a result, I was betrayed by my wife and friend whom I trusted, and my mana was twisted, leading to a miserable death.

Even though it’s only been about two weeks since I returned, I can confirm that my life path will be completely different from my previous life.

In the second round of life, money didn’t mean much to me.
It’s not that it’s not important, it just means you’ll have it as much as you want.

It wasn’t just the ‘recovery potion’.
If I used my future knowledge to make money, I could become a South Korean, no, world-class star.
And it was a life path that did not need to be avoided.

At first, it didn’t feel right to spend all her time shopping for my stuff, but when she saw Ju-ri Choi’s expression of genuine pleasure, she changed her mind.

At the age of 40, I had my own fashion standards and discerning eye for choosing luxury items, but I couldn’t compare to Choi Ju-ri’s.
She calmly looked at the clothes, watches, and shoes she picked out across her body and thought they were definitely different.

This kind of sense was not acquired simply by having more money.
Choi Ju-ri seemed to be very happy about upgrading my appearance.

At an import car dealership, I signed a contract for a car.
Ferrari.
Shinhye Yeon also had a car from the same company, but her car was very modest compared to the image of her brand.
Something I had no intention of bragging about or standing out at all.

However, I signed a contract for a car with a fancy design suitable for a 20-year-old, although it is unlikely that a 20-year-old would actually have one.
It is a new model and it is said that you will have to wait about a month for it to be released.

This was also the car Choi Ju-ri chose.
To her, I was always a young and energetic college student.

I made up my mind to purchase the vehicle, which I thought was too flashy for a 40-year-old’s taste.

Twenty.
I had to convince myself that I had returned and that I would live a life that was 180 degrees different from my previous life.

Physical changes lead to psychological changes.

After shopping for sure, I looked in the mirror as a completely different person.
And maybe the look I am now matches my life path that has changed.
