Chapter 6: Business deal
Did I take anger on kids? What a fuss I have done.
But that FUCKING simp, muscle head, and that bitch, what a fucking trio. Anyone will die if they are with them.
I don't know the future but are they main characters?
But I should create a capable team.
Wiiing-
"Uuk."
my smartwatch's vibration
[The documents are ready... But are you really going to invest so much money in us?]
It was a message from Park Soohyuk.
Of the 500 million I earned from selling hunting so I invested the into SH Agency. I knew SH Agency would become just as successful as Packhorse Master.
[Of course. I'll see you tomorrow.]
[Um... Why us?]
I don't know what to do with my money right now so I thought I should invest in the business.
[It's fun, growing bigger together. Don't you think it'll be nice to see each other grow?]
I wasn't investing in a company, but a person. That was how exceptional Park Soohyuk was.
[Ah... Yes... Then I'll see you tomorrow with all the documents and contracts. Thank you once again.]
[No problem. See you then.]
After ending my conversation with Park Soohyuk, I lay down on the bench press once again. But immediately after I put my hands on the bar, my wrist vibrated once again.
Who was it now? When I looked at my smartwatch, I couldn't help but furrow my brows.
It was Yoo Yeonha.
[9]
I couldn't understand why she would suddenly message me, but the content of the message was even more mysterious. It was a single number. Did she press the wrong button?
"What's up with her?"
Since she didn't say anything else, I ignored it and put my hands back on the bar.
nine.
Nine. 9. In novel haa
Suddenly, I thought of something.
"...Don't tell me, this bitch went to that place?"
Then tried to sense her presence because she is in the cube. After finding her I was shocked.
"Here we go again"
***
Yoo Yeonha was currently detained in the penthouse room of Cube's second-year dorm.
No matter how much of an elite Yoo Yeonha was, she couldn't do anything against a Djinn who was loved by Lilith. Yun Hyun easily subdued Yoo Yeonha before storing her in an extradimensional pocket and moving her here.
He couldn't show the meticulousness he usually did in hiding his tracks and Yoo Yeonha's struggle was surely caught on CCTV, but since he planned to leave Cube once this matter was finished, he didn't care.
"Oh, this is him? The quick-witted one who said I was a Djinn?"
Yun Hyun looked at Yoo Yeonha's smartwatch he just snatched and grinned. The message Yoo Yeonha sent Kim jin woo was displayed on the smartwatch screen.
"Looks like I'll need to kill him later... Anyways, what's this? 9? That's all you sent to ask for help? Who would understand something so cryptic?"
Yun Hyun dropped the smartwatch and stomped on it. Cube's proud smartwatch was shattered easily.
"Of course, even if he understood what you meant, he wouldn't be able to come in here.
Yoo Yeonha fiercely glared at Yun Hyun while clenching her teeth. Seeing Yoo Yeonha's glare, Yun Hyun trembled in ecstasy.
"Ah, amazing. Those eyes are amazing. It's okay, Yeonha. Soon, you'll come to like me too."
Tap, tap.
Yun Hyun slowly approached Yoo Yeonha, who was tied to a chair. She struggled fiercely, but the restraint spell prevented her from moving.
"You have beautiful skin."
Yun Hyun put his hands on Yoo Yeonha's thigh. A faint handprint was left behind on her white skin. At the disgusting sensation akin to a snake licking her, Yoo Yeonha teared up.
"Once is enough. You won't be able to escape afterward. Lilith-nim allowed it for today too. That's right, Lilith-nim wants you too."
Yun Hyun spoke leisurely. The Devil of Enchantment bewitched people on a fundamental level. Once Yun Hyun had his way, Yoo Yeonha would become a completely different person.
"Yeonha, weren't you lonely? I know that feeling too."
Speaking persuasively, Yun Hyun placed his hand on Yoo Yeonha's neck. A mind-muddling magic power was imbued in his breath. Yoo Yeonha trembled. No matter how powerful her mental power was, ecstasy forced by magic power wasn't something she could resist. If she could, she would not have hesitated to bite her own tongue to end her own life.
"It's easier if you give up."
Yun Hyun caressed Yoo Yeonha's face and whispered softly. A magic power of passion flowed into Yoo Yeonha from his hand. The magic power stimulated many parts of her body and urged her to submit. An intense pleasure akin to euphoria overwhelmed her.
In the end, she let out a small aroused moan.
CLANG!
But at that moment, a flash of light erupted from the window and attacked yun hyun and Both of his hands are cut off.
"Serves you right bitch for not listening to me and suspecting me."
Yoo Yeonha's eyes shot open at the familiar face. Yun Hyun used this chance to imbue magic power into his injured leg, but the special regenerative power of Djinns didn't activate and only the pain increased.
"Don't think about recovering from that wound. I refined my mana into my sword ."
Well, I add aether also to increase buffs.
"Shut it!"
Yun Hyun shot up with a roar. Red magic power erupted from his body. His eyes, which had turned bloodshot, glanced around the empty room in vain.
Before he can speak I destroyed his legs with my strength. Yun hyun cried in pain and fear of death.
"Why did you kill those victims "
"Tell me, who give you right to take others life?"
"... So-Soorrryy she told me to do"
"I will kill but before I make you feel pain and suffer "
I destroyed his body slowly and lastly, I destroyed his head.
He died while crying.
That devil I will come for you and I will kill you one day.

I turned my head and told to yoo yeonha.
"Take a nap, investigation team will be coming soon. Everything will be fine."
"Thank you "
Yoo yeonha told to me and then slept. After I explained everything to the investigation team and I gave a detailed report to higher-ups.
******
Next day
Yoo Yeonha opened her eyes. A patternless white ceiling filled her sight, and the sound of something being cut tickled her ears. She turned towards the direction of the sound.
Kim Suho was cutting an apple with a fruit knife.
"...What are you doing here?"
Yoo Yeonha asked dumbfoundedly. Kim Suho glanced at Yoo Yeonha before smiling bashfully.
"You're awake? It doesn't hurt anywhere, right?"
"...I'm fine."
"The doctor said there's nothing wrong with your body."
Yoo Yeonha raised her upper body. She felt slightly stiff and sore, but it wasn't to the point she couldn't move.
"What I want to know is why you're here."
"We're taking turns nursing you. Me, Nayun, Shin Jonghak, and Kim Horak."
"Why?"
Yoo Yeonha asked genuinely curious.
"Well, it's kind of our fault..."
"...Huh?"
Yoo Yeonha fell into thought because of Kim Suho's incomprehensible words. How was it their fault?
But even after contemplating about what happened, she couldn't come up with an answer.
'Did they do something I didn't know?' Yoo Yeonha glared at Kim Suho, demanding an explanation.
"As members of the same team, we should have been more careful. We were too absorbed in caring for Nayun that we were too negligent..."
Yoo Yeonha became lost for words. Her brain seemed to freeze at the sheer stupidity of Kim Suho's statement.
It wasn't like they could have known she would get attacked. Not to mention, the investigation team had only met twice, and there was even a huge argument in the second meeting.
"...Sorry."
"Pfft."
Yoo Yeonha chuckled at Kim Suho's bashful apology. If anything, she realized just how stupidly kind this man was.
"You don't need to be sorry. I got what I deserved."
Kim Suho scratched his neck and gave Yoo Yeonha a plate of sliced apples, which were shaped like rabbits. Yoo Yeonha smiled subconsciously. Being a girl, Yoo Yeonha liked cute things.
"They look nice."
"Thanks."
Yoo Yeonha stared at his face in a daze before suddenly remembering something and asking.
"...Oh right, um, did that person come?"
"That person?"
Kim jin woo
Yoo Yeonha couldn't say his name out loud. She had a conscience. She didn't expect him to visit her after what she had done.
"No, never mind."
She looked outside the window. There wasn't a single cluster of clouds on the East Sea's clear and blue sky. The world seemed particularly bright under the beaming sunlight.
Seeing this dazzling scenery, Yoo Yeonha fell in thought.
She learned many things today.
Of course, her 17-year-old personality wouldn't entirely change with just this one incident. Tomorrow's Yoo Yeonha might not be too different than today's.
But there were certainly many things she felt from the bottom of her heart. She wasn't sure whether it was self-reflection, introspection, or plain gratefulness.
Before she wrote everything down in her diary and pondered over it, she first picked up her smartwatch.
There was still something she needed to do.
**
I received a message.
[Sorry and Thank you. I will talk to you tomorrow .]
The sender was Yoo Yeonha. Seeing her name, the corners of my mouth curled up into a smile.
I wanted to say something to piss her off, but the person sitting in front of me asked for another affirmation.
"Um... So I can just take this money? Really?"
I stared back at the man. Park Soohyuk has been like this for a while. I lost count of how many times he asked if this was real.
Haa. I couldn't help but sigh.
It was the money I was investing, so why was he so hesitant? Just buy a HUV (hunter utility vehicle) and a proper magic pouch already!
"Yes, yes, yes. Please take it! Please!"
I stood up and bowed down at a 90-degree angle.
"Please take it!"
"Ah, um, I-"
"What, do I need to kowtow? I'll do it!"
"No, no! I'll take it! Thank you so much for investing in SH Agency!"
He finally put the signed documents in his suitcase.
How did such an easygoing person end up becoming the agent world's greatest giant? I was the owner who created this setting, but I just couldn't understand it.
After staring at him for a moment, I asked casually.
"By the way, how old are you?"
"I'm 29."
"Ah, you're more than a decade older than me. You don't have to talk so formally."
Talking casually would be better for our relationship.
"How can I do such a thing to an investor..."
"Don't think of me as an investor, think of me as a business partner. You know, like we're building SH Agency together."
"But still..."
"Don't worry, I'm fine with it."
"But..."
A back-and-forth argument went around on the topic of talking formally or casually. Eventually, I defeated Park Soohyuk and he submitted.
"Okay... I won't talk so formally then."
"Good."
I got up.
"Then let's go hunt. We'll stop at just two for today."
"Alright, then this hyung[1] will support you from the back."
Park Soohyuk laughed bashfully.
We left the coffee shop. Right when we were about to head to the Field, I saw a convenience store.
"Um, Soohyuk hyung?"
I was the one who suggested talking casually, but I felt shy now that I needed to do it.
"Hm? What's up?"
"We should buy a lottery ticket."
I pointed at the poster that said [lottery ticket on sale]. In truth, this was the first method I thought up to make money since I had an absurd level of luck. But because of my status as a 'minor without a guardian', I haven't been able to do it until now.
"Come on, lottery tickets are a waste of money. You might be too young to understand these things, but the lottery is a scam."
"It's not a scam. I have good luck, so I'll probably win something. I'll invest what I get on SH Agency, so give it a try."
"No, I'm telling you it's a scam..."
"Just follow me."
I dragged Park Soohyuk to the convenience store. I grabbed ten instant lottery tickets from the counter, and with Park Soohyuk's aged face, the clerk didn't even ask for his identification. After buying the ten tickets, I brought them over to a nearby table.
"I need something to scratch them with."
"Oh, here's a coin."
Even though he just said lottery tickets were a scam, he gave me a coin with anticipating eyes.
"I'll start then."
Shashak. I started scratching on the silver foils on the ticket. The first one was a failure. I immediately moved on to the second. Another fail. I scratched the third ticket. Another fail.
"Haam."
Park Soohyuk had already lost interest and yawned. Unperturbed, I continued scratching. Fourth, fifth, sixth...
While Park Soohyuk walked around the cup ramen aisle, I scratched the tenth lottery ticket.
"Oh, finally."
"You won? How much?"
Park Soohyuk asked casually after picking up a cup of ramen.
"60 million won."
"Oh, nice."
Park Soohyuk then started walking towards the counter before suddenly stopping and tilting his head. 'Did I hear that wrong...?' murmuring so, he turned towards me.
"...Can you repeat that?"
"60 million won. Looks like getting the first place jackpot is asking for too much."
First place was 100 million won.
I showed Park Soohyuk the lottery ticket. His jaws instantly dropped.
"W-What, is, is this real?"
"It's real, so take it."
I handed him the ticket.
"W-Why are you giving this to me?"
"Oh, didn't I tell you? I'm still a minor, so I can't claim the money. You can take it. It's an additional investment, so send me a modified contract."
Park Soohyuk stared at me in a daze. His gaping mouth didn't think to close. The cup of ramen he was holding could probably fit in his mouth. It sure was big.
"Take it."
"Oh, yeah."
Park Soohyuk quickly put the lottery ticket in his pocket. Next, he quickly looked around himself and began to sweat as though he had just committed a crime.
"You can put down your guard. No one is going to steal it. "
"No, you don't understand how scary the world can be..."
