ED:
“Can a guardian deity behave so recklessly?’
They wondered if Hudid didn’t care about his dignity. However, they didn’t know. Acknowledging one’s mistakes and reflecting on them was precisely the dignity a “parent” should demonstrate. As a guardian deity of the tribe and, at the same time, a “parent” who shares strength with all the paleos, Hudid has performed this role splendidly.
“Did you know that you were out of your mind? Trying to burn all of Red Wood, I thought you were undoubtedly insane.”
“That bastard I don’t mind chewing did something foolish when I let my guard down.”
“With no teeth, how would you have chewed him? You could only peck him to death with your beak.”
Aibex chuckled, baring his teeth, and then abruptly stopped, and looked at Leeha.
“Human – Ha Leeha.”
“Yes, yes.”Step, step, step.
Aibex approached Leeha. With each hoof touching the ground, his magnificent tail swayed in the air.
“I sincerely thank you for your efforts for Red Wood.”
Then, he stood in front of Leeha and bowed his head. The massive horns came close to Leeha’s face, momentarily surprising him. However, observing even all the surrounding red goat paleos bowing their heads, Leeha maintained a composed demeanor.
“I can’t afford to look foolish at a moment like this! There are things to be said.”
Seeing Aibex in this situation, Leeha smiled.
“You’re welcome. Beyond the sea, to humans, Bluebeard Le is our common enemy. I’ve only done what’s necessary for the peace and happiness of Erika Continent and the harmony of Red Wood.”
Lower oneself, but raise the status of ‘human’. Aibex and Hudid seemed pleased and satisfied.
“Eldest!”
“red goat!”
“Hurry and get our guests from the shabby place!”
“Aibex-nim!”
“You did not betray our trust, Ha Leeha. We will keep all the promises we made to you.”
“Thank you!”
As Leeha greeted Aibex, Rubini firmly grabbed Leeha’s arm. Without being surprised by the touch, Aibex opened his mouth again.
“Ah, eldest?! And prepare.”
“red goat! What are you talking about?”
“Make tonight the best festival in Red Wood!”
“…red goat! Understood, my lord!”
“We can’t lose either. Eldest! Hand over what you brought.”
“Black crane!”
At Hudid’s command, including their eldest, the black crane paleos took out various items. The Redwood’s unique products, unseen on the old continent, stimulated Leeha’s nose.
Just as the preparations of the red goat paleos and Black Doo Lumi paleos were about to begin in earnest, a group of people poured out from the building where the prison was.
“Leeha-ssi! You really succeed-“
“Oppa!”
“-not this time!”
“Ugh, don’t interfere, ahjumma.”
“Ahjumma? [Attack-“
“[Ice Blast-“
Shin Nara, rushed towards Leeha, and Ram Hwajung, who was trying to hug Leeha faster than her, was once again being held back by Shin Nara!
“Uh, uh, uh! Wha, what are you doing? Suddenly using skills here! Stop! Stop!”
Watching Leeha, who was running out to stop the noisy Shin Nara and Ram Hwajung, the members of the expedition to the new continent were all smiling with amusement.
“Alright, alright! But it’s still a festival! As planned earlier, let’s start preparing for the mana relay tower installation! Hyein-ssi!”
“Phew, understood. I also wanted to try the new continent’s cuisine…”
“You can have it anytime. Bailephus-nim! And everyone else, come on, come on!”
Finally, the new continent, Erica, was truly connecting to the old continent.
“Leeha! Hey!”
“Ung… mom.”
“Get up! Eat and sleep!”
“Later… I’ll eat later.”
“No, you can’t. Lately, you’ve been sticking to that machine without proper eating or rest… You’ll hurt your body. Get up quickly.”
Leeha knew that his mother’s nagging was a manifestation of deep love expressed outwardly. However, when truly exhausted, all he can think about is sleep.
“Come to think of it, mom always wakes me up to feed me and tries to put me back to sleep afterward.”
But that’s not an easy task, as once he ate, all thoughts of staying awake vanished. Despite knowing this, Leeha couldn’t afford to worry her mother any further.
“I got it, I got it. I’ll get up.”
In the end, from the perspective of a son, he had no choice but to get up with a wry smile. His mother supported him into a wheelchair.
He thought he could rest a bit upon arriving on the new continent, but since the incident with Aibex and Hudid, Leeha hasn’t slept well.
‘Now that everything is finally over, I can get some sleep,’ he thought, but it’s been about two days in Middle Earth. It’s been around ten hours in the new continent.
The current time is 9 AM. Around 6 or 7 PM would mark two days passing in Middle Earth. By then, the mana relay tower should be completed.
Due to the massive deaths of the giant NPC workers, the construction period was delayed in the “buoy,” but in the new continent, it could be expedited.
“Paleos are truly amazing.”
Transformed into red goats and black cranes, they carried materials at an incredible speed and strength. The competitive spirit among the giant NPCs was also pushing them to move faster.
‘In the meantime, it was hilarious to see the Barbarian Warrior Hero’s descendant Bantal and the Amunsan Brothers getting excited together. In the end, even Jin Gonggong joined in the excitement, raising the atmosphere to its peak. Despite being users, they took pride in being part of the “Giant Race.”
Hooray! We can’t lose to the beasts! Thinking of them jumping around, Leeha chuckled warmly.
“What’s making you so happy?”
“Oh, nothing. I just have some free time after a long while.”
“Really? You have free time?”
Leeha’s mother smiled brightly. It wasn’t just a mother’s joy at her son being able to rest; there was something more to it.
“Then, can you go out with me today? You said you had time.”
“Today? Where are we going?”
“He, he?! Did you really forget?”
What was she talking about? Leeha quickly turned his head, seeing his mother’s disappointed expression. Did they agree to go somewhere together?
‘Shopping? Eating out? No, it can’t be that. This early in the morning— Not a picnic either— Ah!’
Finally, a word came to mind. Why his mother had been waiting without going to work since early morning?
“I couldn’t have forgotten. Today is the day we go to Budo Mountain.”
“Yeah, yeah. You said you would come if you had time.”
Looking at his mother’s bright smile like a young girl, Leeha couldn’t help but force a smile. Eat and go back to sleep? He had suspected from the start that it would be impossible.
“Oh, Mom.”
“Yeah?”
Anyway, there’s still some time left for the Mana Relay Tower to be completed. Spending a day leisurely with his mother as a date wouldn’t be a bad idea.
“Should we call Kijung too? He should have time today.”
If only one more helper is added.
“Kijung…? Are you mad?”
Kijung only responded with the sound of pushing Leeha’s wheelchair, not answering.
“Kijung? The guild master of Byulcho?”
Kiiik… kiiik…
Leeha’s mother was waiting a bit away with Kijung and Leeha, waiting for a large wheelchair-accessible taxi.
Under the determination to go see the real estate, Leeha, and his mother quickly prepared.
Thinking about how urgently Kijung must have rushed to meet the two, Leeha couldn’t easily smile.
“Hey, hey. Don’t—there, stop! Actually, there’s something to talk about, so I called you.”
“Ung-ah… really, do you know you’re overdoing it?”
Kijung, with unkempt hair, as he hadn’t even washed, lowered his voice. Leeha had enough sympathy to flinch.
“I’ve been waiting to log out and rest, too. Even when rotating in the prison, I—”
“Okay, okay. Thanks. I don’t know why I didn’t know. So, I prepared to take a proper break, so let out your anger.”
“What kind of break is this? Today, too, I’ve been dragged around by this aunt and brother—”
“Hongkong. About 17 days later. I’ve prepared airplane tickets.”
“-Taking a breath- Huh? What?”
Kijung’s voice, which seemed like it could shoot a machine gun, abruptly stopped. Calling Kijung wasn’t just to make him a helper. It was actually the main purpose to talk about the email from Ram Hwayeon.
“By the way, pushing the wheelchair a bit would be good.”
A large wheelchair-accessible taxi arrived, and Leeha’s mother called the two.
“Hurry, get in! It’s getting late.”
“Let’s go, Kijung.”
“Oh, yeah. Sure. But why Hong Kong? How did you prepare the flight tickets?”
“Well, I’ll tell you slowly about that. Anyway, don’t worry and adjust your schedule well.”
“Hong Kong? Haha, Hong Kong? It’s strange that hyung suddenly goes on an overseas trip. And it’s not even a resort, but the shopping mecca, Hong Kong? Are you planning to buy me luxury goods or something—”
Drook, drook.
Kijung, boarding Leeha into the taxi, unfolded his imagination. Then suddenly, his words stopped.
“…Wait. Hong Kong?”
It was only when the taxi was about to depart that Kijung sensed something suspicious.
Why Hong Kong?
What could be the reason for Leeha to choose Hong Kong?
“Cough, well, I’ll tell you later. Let’s go for now.”
“Bro, don’t tell me… it’s not that?”
“What? What?”
“…It’s not?”
Kijung’s eyes gleamed.
If it weren’t for the recent incident at Incheon Airport, he might have just smiled and been happy. But now, he had experienced something he hadn’t before.
The most powerful sisters in history, currently in Hong Kong, had come to Korea to see Leeha. What would be the next turn of events?
“You are taking me to Hong Kong to see the Ram sisters. It’s not like you’re trying to ‘tie me in,’ right?”
“What are you talking about? I don’t understand. Anyway, it’s in 17 days. Ah! Mom, where is the store?”
Leeha quickly spoke to his mother.
As a tanker, he couldn’t be dull. Understanding the atmosphere was essential to manage the aggro of monsters!
“Haaa… eong-ah… “
Kijung, who noticed everything, sighed. Leeha felt sorry and embarrassed about the whole situation.
“To be precise, it was an invitation from their side. Your name was also on it. Why would I treat you like I’m ‘squeezing you in’?”
“Lam Hwayeon invited me?”
“Yeah. I can’t even understand the reason—”
“Son! Son! How is it? Huh? Is it good here? Kijung, what do you think?”
Even after arriving at the scene, Leeha couldn’t escape the scrutiny of Kijung.
Of course, Leeha’s mother was so immersed in real estate that she couldn’t care less about whether her son was being treated that way or not.
“Oh, it’s nice here. There are many companies nearby, so lunchtime must be quite busy, right?”
“Yeah, your son has good taste. You saw it correctly.”
As Leeha nodded vaguely, the man next to his mother raised his thumb and winked.
Leeha vaguely remembered the business card he had received from his mother some time ago.
“What is currently being auctioned can be considered your mother’s good fortune. If you tried to buy it outright, they would have demanded at least 100 million just for the rights. Of course, acquiring something like that through an auction is never an easy task.”
“President Lee Soobaek, you can make it happen, right?”
“Of course. If it’s for the chance to eat a delicious lunch made by your mother, I would even run barefoot. Ah! Now, we should call you not ‘Mother’ but ‘Madam,’ right?!”
“Oh dear, ‘Madam’! Please don’t. What are you talking about already…?”
Leeha’s mother laughed awkwardly but didn’t seem to dislike it. Leeha carefully observed the man next to his mother.
‘He gives off a bit of a conman vibe… But the item itself seems to be good…’
While engaged in conversation with Kijung, Leeha didn’t neglect to check things precariously.
On the way to the restaurant, observing the surroundings and what is commonly referred to as ‘location,’ Leeha continued to scrutinize the situation. Whether the man was conscious of the attention directed towards him or not, he subtly initiated a conversation with Leeha.
“The basics of real estate lie in the location and people. It seems like you’re quite interested in real estate, sir?”
“Oh, no. I don’t know much about real estate… If you mean ‘location,’ I might have a general idea of what it means.”
“In sniping, the most crucial thing is also the location.”
Determining the sniper’s position. Once decided, it’s not easy to move, which is analogous to the nature of real estate. (To be continued…)
