74. Business

The day after return.

Min-ri Min was sitting at the cafe table with a nervous mind.

It's the time I promised to meet Ryu Min in a little while.

'Why did Min ask to see me again? no way?'

Min Joo-ri, who had imagined something, shook her head, saying it was nonsense.

Suddenly, my heart starts pounding.

It was a pleasant thrill.

'Whoa, let's calm down, calm down. You must never show it.'

She didn't want to be an unnecessary burden and didn't want her unrequited love discovered.

At that time, the door opened and Ryumin came in.

"uh? Are you already here? "Have you waited long?"

"Oh, no. "I came here a little while ago."

Min-ri Min, who was embarrassed by her idle imagination, quickly got up from her seat.

"Sir, I'll order it and come back. What would you like to drink? "I'll buy it for you, so feel free to choose."

"Ice americano. "By adding shots."

"Okay, just wait!"

Min Joo-ri went to the counter and immediately brought coffee with her.

"I'll eat well. "Juri."

"Yes."

Jjuup- There was silence between the two while they were drinking coffee.

'Why is it so awkward?'

Could it be because I had a strange imagination a little while ago?

Even a few seconds of silence felt awkward to Min-ri Min.

At that time, Ryumin broke the silence.

"How was round 5? "Have you met the black scythe like I said?"

It was a shameless question, but it gave Min Joo-ri, who wanted to break the silence, some breathing room.

"Yes, just like you said, we met and hunted together. To be honest, I was wondering if the person ranked No. 1 would go with me, but after showing off my abilities, he agreed."

"I told you. "If you look at the buffs, the Black Scythe will need you too."

"Thanks to you, I had a really easy time hunting. I received a lot of help. "I heard you took second place in that section for the first time?"

Min-ri Min said excitedly, and Ryu-min agreed.

"omg? 2nd place? Isn't it great? "What did you get as a reward?"

"There's a mid-rare necklace that increases agility. Would you like to take a look?"

When I opened the inventory and showed the necklace, Ryumin let out an exclamation of 'Ohh'.

Of course, it was just an admiration that was just acting.

Even though there was an epic necklace, there was no way it would catch my eye.

"how is it? "Do you look okay?"

"Wow, it looks good!"

"You take it."

"huh? Why do this to me... … ."

"I got it thanks to your prophecy, so it's right for you to have it."

When I tried to give him the necklace, Ryumin waved his hand.

"I'm done. Why did you get the reward you worked so hard to get? … ."

"It wasn't hard earned. "Thanks to Black Scythe's help, I had a very easy time hunting."

"Then it would be better if you didn't bring me the black scythe… … ."

"Would someone of such a high level need such a low-quality necklace?"

'No problem, there is no need.'

Ryumin internally agreed.

Regular grade rare necklace?

As an expert, this is a completely useless item.

I already have a lot of gold, so even if I sell it, it won't help my living expenses.

'It's not a store item, so it won't sell.'

Ryumin waved his hand again and refused.

"Thank you, but I don't need it. "I haven't even reached regular level yet."

"huh? It's not regular? "What level is it?"

"I'm level 19. "I barely killed 300 orcs in 10 hours alone."

"ah… … ."

Although he didn't say anything, Minjoo-ri understood.

'Well, a prophet probably isn't a job suitable for combat… … .'

If you can see the future and have good combat skills, is there a job that would be worth it?

Of course, there was such a person in front of us, but Minjoo-ri could not even imagine it.

Because Ryumin and Black Scythe have completely different speech patterns and images.

The image of the real Ryumin was also very weak.

"By the way, Min. "How does a prophet fight?"

"Oh, I have magic skills. It's embarrassing to show it, but... … ."

"Then you don't need an agility necklace? "If you use magic, your intelligence will increase."

"yes."

I said so, but in fact, even wizards need a certain level of agility.

Because you have to have a means of defense.

Even if you only count damage, it is useless if you can't hit it.

'You may not need the attack speed that increases with agility, but movement speed and evasion are somewhat helpful for survival.'

Of course, this had nothing to do with Ryumin, who does not use magic.

When Ryumin appealed that there was no need for it, Minjoo-ri had no choice but to wear a necklace.

"Then I'll give you this instead of the necklace."

Minjoo-ri took out the lowest-grade red magic gemstone from her inventory.

"I came out while hunting, so take this at least. "I don't know if it's a good thing, but it's my sincerity, so don't refuse."

Ryumin smiled cheerfully, knowing that it had been prepared for him in advance.

"thank you. "He thinks of everything for me."

"uh?"

Although it was said without much thought, it seemed to be an embarrassment to Minju-ri.

"Well, I wasn't thinking about you in particular… … They give me information every time, and I feel indebted to them. so… … ."

How cute does it feel to be embarrassed?

"I see. thank you. "I'll take it well."

Ryumin did not refuse and took the magic stone with him.

Although it is the lowest level magic stone, collecting it will help you grow.

"I received it too, so I should give something back, right?"

"huh? "What is it?"

"Well, of course it's information about the 6th round."

"ah… … ."

He looked somewhat disappointed, but only for a moment.

Minjoo-ri smiled brightly.

"If you tell me, I'll be grateful!"

"okay. What is the 6th round quest? … ."

As Ryu Min's prophecy continued, Minjoo-ri's eyes gradually grew bigger.

It was none other than the black scythe and the words to act.

"Party with Black Scythe again this time?"

"huh. "You have already proven your value as a buffer in round 5, so I probably won't reject you."

"ah… … ."

"what's the matter?"

"I never thought we would be together again."

"that… … "It means you're happy, right?"

"then! "What a good job Black Scythe did."

"Be nice to me?"

"huh. He was surprisingly considerate and not as scary as I thought. "I'm a little arrogant, but it's worth it since I'm number one in the rankings."

"ah… … okay?"

Ryumin, who unintentionally heard the evaluation of himself, laughed.

It wasn't a bad evaluation.

"And he seems like a pretty insightful person."

"Insight?"

"I can't exactly explain it… … What can I say? "Do you feel like you understand people's hearts well?"

'That's because there is an inner rune.'

Since Ryu Min was the one involved, it was taken for granted, but for Min Joo-ri, who did not even know such a rune existed, the black scythe felt amazing.

Like a perfect being with good skills, insight, charisma, and consideration.

'But I'm not perfect. 'Because I failed 99 times.'

Of course, I felt cheated in the last round, which required a party of 5, but still, a failure is a failure.

'There are no more chances now. 'You can't fail because it's the last time.'

I looked at Min Joo-ri, determined to make it to the final round and break the boss' pot.

'Minjoo-ri must be taken with her unconditionally. The American Priest too.'

First of all, two seats were confirmed, and the remaining two seats needed to be considered.

"Min-ah? "What are you thinking?"

"no. nothing."

"Are you worried about how you'll pass the next round?"

"huh? what… … I'm not worried. "I'm not that strong."

To anyone, it seemed close to a deception, but it was difficult for Ryu Min to reveal his identity due to the circumstances.

"Ugh, if only the districts had been integrated, I would have helped… … ."

"For free?"

"of course. It shows that I get help like this every day. On the other hand, I am of no help to you... … ."

'It's helpful enough, Juri. Thanks to that, I finished High Orc with a 1-second cut.'

It was an unprecedented record and we were given the option to select a unique item.

"Don't be upset. "Someday, we will meet in another world."

"I guess so? Until then, you have to cheer up! "I will do my best too!"

Ryu Min laughed bitterly at the sight of Min Joo-ri shaking her fist and shouting "fighting."

'I wonder how they will react when they find out later that I am a black scythe... … .'

Ryumin suddenly became worried.

* * *

The day after I gave information about the 6th round to Min-ri Min.

Ryu Min was heading to the company office in the limousine sent by Ma Gyeong-rok.

'Originally, I wanted to have lunch together at the hotel... … .'

I declined and asked to meet at work.

Because it is time to talk about business.

'I have already proven that I am a prophet, so there should be no problem.'

I have not yet told Ma Gyeong-rok what kind of business I will do.

But no matter what you do, Ma Gyeong-rok will trust you and follow you.

Because he was a person who would do anything to help the company grow.

'I have clearly proven my abilities as a prophet.'

Now that we have gained trust, it is time to show results.

Of course, you don't start a business simply to make money.

'If you use Ma Gyeong-rok's company, you can get the items you want at any time.'

Money is just a means to acquire items.

'My own growth is the ultimate goal.'

Moreover, by growing the company, the relationship with Ma Gyeong-rok can be made even stronger.

'Because then I can contact the priest who is his connection.'

The financial benefits gained in the process are a bonus.

"Im here. Please wait a moment."

The driver stopped the car in front of a commercial building and hurriedly got out and opened the door.

"Please come this way. "I will guide you to the office."

The driver who spoke politely walked ahead.

It looks like he was told to treat him properly.

I followed the driver into the elevator.

Ding-

The size of the office I saw after going up to the 8th floor was not that big.

This is understandable since the company started with a small amount of capital.

"oh! Are you here? Major shareholder!"

The moment I entered the office, I could see Ma Gyeong-rok giving me a warm welcome.

"Please sit this way. Director Ahn? "Here, please bring me two cups of chamomile."

"Yes, CEO."

Ma Gyeong-rok laughed, leaving behind Ahn Sang-cheol, who entered the bathhouse.

It was a fake smile meant to impress others.

"Great Lord, no, Prophet. "Did you feel uncomfortable while coming?"

"What about the inconvenience? I came here so comfortably. "The driver is also kind."

"Haha, is that so? thank god. If you make anyone uncomfortable, please let me know. We will take appropriate action immediately."

"Oh, yeah… … ."

Ma Gyeong-rok, who kills criminals every week, is taking appropriate action... … .

Unless you have a grudge against someone, it's best not to say anything.

"Have you eaten? "I wish we had eaten together."

"I have more important things to do than eat."

"Do you want to give me information about the next round?"

Ryumin had to suppress his laughter.

'You were anxious to get information about round 6 from me.'

This is why Ma Gyeong-rok mentioned it out loud.

I'm afraid they won't give me any information.

"Of course, I have to tell you about the 6th round as well."

"Have you seen the future?"

"I saw it."

At that time, Ahn Sang-cheol came over and put down the teacup.

Although he didn't show it, Ahn Sang-cheol also pricked up his ears.

"I will give you information on round 6."

"Is that true? Thank you every time... … ."

"Instead, I would like to hold an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders."

"Extraordinary shareholders' meeting?"

"Because we have to talk about business soon. "We need to change the industry and company name."

When the topic of business came up, Ma Gyeong-rok's expression became serious.

Just as important as the next round of information was the actual business.

"What can I do for you?"

"Please support the business I am presenting at the general shareholders' meeting. "Even though I am the actual management authority with 31% of the stock, in the case of special resolutions, if I do not get the consent of 67%, the agenda will not be passed."

Changing the company name and industry is an important task.

There is no way he could control it on his own without the consent of shareholders who have already invested money.

Of course, there is no need for other shareholders.

All he has to do is Ma Gyeong-rok be on his side.

Ma Gyeong-rok nodded as if he understood that fact.

"Then, since I own 40% of the stock, if we join hands, it will be 71%. In the end, any agenda can be easily passed."

"yes. But as I said before, there should be no gossip. "It means we need to persuade other shareholders."

"Don't worry about that. "I will try to keep other shareholders from being bothered."

"thank you."

"however… … "Seeing as you said this in advance, it looks like shareholders might be opposed to changing the industry?"

"yes. When I looked at the future, I wasn't too happy about it. Especially shareholders in their 30s or older."

"What kind of industry is this?" … ."

Ma Gyeong-rok looked very curious.

Ahn Sang-cheol, who was listening next to me, was not much different.

'Well, it's worth wondering. 'I boasted that I could succeed if I just changed the industry.'

Ryumin said with a smile.

"The business I want to start… … ."
