Chapter 39: March 4th (1)


    Nickname: Hwang Yongmin. Assuming thats his real name, there are dozens of people across the country with the same name. However


    An Sang-cheol spoke with a gleam in his eyes.


    Lets say hes a man in his twenties living in Seoul. In that case, the number narrows down to five.


    Are you certain hes in his twenties?


    Ma Kyung-rok inquired, and An Sang-cheol nodded.


    He imed to be a young man in his twenties aspiring to be a gangster. So the likelihood is quite high.


    And what about his whereabouts?


    To urately trace the addresses of those five individuals, it would take over a month.


    Over a month So we wont know the results until after the fourth round.


    Exactly. Since theres no immediate urgency, you can patiently await the oue.


    Are there any other names?


    One of hispanions goes by the nickname Kim Seunghan, which could potentially be his real name. Were also tracking him, but it will take longer due to themonness of the name.


    I see.


    Ma Kyung-rok sighed with a tinge of disappointment and poured himself a ss of whiskey.


    How much gold have you amassed?


    Approximately 10,000 gold.


    Ah, so youve reached 50%.


    Ma Kyung-rok took a sip of whiskey.


    Theres a usefulmon skill called Tracking at the shop. As I mentioned before, once you reach 20,000 gold, I strongly rmend learning it. It maye in handy in the future.


    Understood.


    An Sang-cheol didnt disy any signs of dissatisfaction, despite being asked to learn a skill on his behalf.


    His sole focus was gathering 20,000 gold as quickly as possible to be of assistance to the boss.


    Oh, Boss.


    Suddenly, An Sang-cheol spoke up, recalling something.


    I was so preupied that I forgot to mention there was a significant shareholder who purchased arge number of shares in yourpanyst month.


    Ma Kyung-rok raised an intrigued eyebrow.


    Considering the multitude of businesses he was involved in


    Whichpany are you referring to?


    Im talking about Cheonma Consulting, the very one were currently focusing on.


    Ah.


    Cheonma Consulting was Ma Kyung-roks most substantial and dedicated venture.


    Its thepany I established to gain my fathers approval.


    His father had stated that the proportion of the inheritance would be determined based on the sess of Cheonma Consulting.


    Even if its ranked 85th on the KOSDAQ, its still a respectable position


    To his fathers eyes, apany that hadnt even been listed on the KOSDAQ would appear as a mediocre, run-of-the-mill business.


    Youre saying someone has bought shares of Cheonma Consulting? What percentage of ownership are we talking about?


    Prepare to be surprised. Theyve acquired a staggering 31%.


    Pardon me?


    Ma Kyung-rok questioned his own ears.


    With 31%, they would be the majority shareholders.


    Are you telling me that a single individual has acquired shares to the extent of 31%?


    Yes. I too doubted my eyes when I saw it on the monitor.


    Cheonma Consultings market capitalization stood at 900 billion won.


    With a 31% stake, it meant an investment of 280 billion won.


    Who would possess such a significant sum of money?


    Is it a conglomerate? Or perhaps one of his siblings ying a game?


    They must have invested 31% to actively participate in thepanys management.


    Ma Kyung-rok weighed the situation.


    Regardless of the circumstances, he had to meet them.


    May I have the contact information of this major shareholder?


    ***


    Ryu Min, who had returned to reality, nced at the date.


    Its about time I received a call.


    He was eagerly awaiting Ma Kyung-roks phone call.


    After all, investing 280 billion won couldnt go unnoticed.


    Of course, he could have contacted them first.


    But the major shareholder has his pride.


    Anticipating their call, there was no need for him to take the initiative.


    And then


    Hey, hyung! Whats your level?


    The door swung open as Ryu Won barged in.


    Why are you suddenly asking that?


    Theres this guy in our ss who pretends to be all that, boasting in our group chat about how his older brother has a high level.


    Really? What level did he im?


    He said its level 11, and he even has a job.


    Level 11?


    Ryu Min almost burst outughing butposed himself.


    Well, my level is higher, so dont worry.


    What level are you then?


    What level? Well


    He had to strike a bnceneither too high nor too low.


    Level 12.


    Really? And you already have a job?


    Yeah.


    What kind of job is it?


    Ryu Min yfully cut off his younger brothers curiosity.


    Its a secret.


    Aw,e on! Wheres the fun in keeping secrets between brothers?


    Oh, there are secrets. So now, go away. You should get some more sleep.


    As if acknowledging his weariness, Ryu Won took a step back and settled into bed.


    Fine, fine. Rest well.


    Once the door closed, Ryu Min didnt immediately shut his eyes.


    A phone call mighte soon, and sleep seemed elusive.


    Should I purchase amon skill?


    He opened the shop window and bought themon skill he had intended to acquire.


    With 20,000 gold gone, he was left with 8,000 gold.


    With the remaining funds, I should buy an epic item that will be avable in a few days.


    In about a week, the shop would feature a desired epic item.


    But before that, I must meet Ma Kyung-rok.


    Meeting with Ma Kyung-rok was of utmost importance.


    In terms of thepany, it was akin to meeting with crucial clients.


    Of course, I wont get too close. I must maintain a distance and utilize them strictly as a card to be discarded when necessary.


    To achieve that, he needed to keep a watchful eye on the situation as if he were holding hands with the other party.


    This was precisely why he required the Rune of Inner Thoughts.


    I can obtain it in three daysthe Rune of Inner Thoughts.


    Just then, his cellphone buzzed.


    Theyve arrived.


    It was an iing call from an unfamiliar number.


    Yet Ryu Min immediately recognized it as Ma Kyung-roks number.


    Yes,


    Is this Ryu Min by any chance?


    Yes, but whos speaking?


    Hello. This is Ma Kyung-rok, the representative of Cheonma Consulting.


    Ah, hello.


    Ryu Min deliberately affected a gruff voice.


    From now on, he had to work on his image.


    The more underestimated he appeared, the easier it would be to catch the other person off guard.


    I heard that you invested in ourpanyst month.


    Yes, but whats this about?


    Well, its important, because youve be thergest shareholder of ourpany. I wanted to meet you in person, even if its just to put a face to the name. Shall I treat you to a meal?


    Ah That sounds good.


    Excellent. How about we meet this Friday?


    Friday?
