Episode 42 . Trade and Alliance (1)
#
Kang Chul In reported back to Earth through the warp gate as soon as he recovered .
“Please be swift . I, Lucia, will wait for my lord . ”
Lucia saw him out .
Laputa’s most trusted advisers were too busy executing Kang Chul In’s “Special orders” . They had to accomplish all of their given orders before he came back .
“It’s going to be around 2 weeks . ”
“That is too long . ”
“My hands are tied . I have business back home . ”
“I am afraid that I might wither to death while waiting for you my lord . ”
“……”
“Please remember that I am waiting for you and hurry back . ”
Lucia looked like as if she was in such despair, she looked like a puppy who lost its master .
‘I really don’t understand why she acts like this recently . ’
Kang Chul In could not get used to Lucia’s change after the hunt . He also thought that he was not like her .
Think about it .
167cm, size D, skinny waist, broad pelvis, and strong thighs . Lucia was a merciless glamor who easily out-ranked other female kinds .
And her face?
Sharp eyes and horn-rimmed glasses cool beauty, which reminded of a strict professional woman . There isn’t a woman who’s cute puppy form cannot go as well as she is now .
“…Well, I will have to come back once the business is over . I did order some things to be done, so I won’t be gone long . ”
“You should do so . ”
“I will . ”
He stood at the warp gate with a huge sack on his back .
There were all sorts of items and trading good samples between the Earth and Pangea . His plan was to proceed a trading business after consulting with Mr . Kwon on the items in the bag . Money? He will be able to buy a privet jet after a year .
“Please take care of the land . ”
“Do not worry, my lord . ”
Then, he ran the warp to head to Earth .

As soon as he arrived, Kang Cheul In went to the parking lot and opened the hood of a Mustang and loaded his cargo . The cargo, which included gold and other things, easily exceeded 100kg .
“The meat . ”
Realizing that there was something missing, he pulled out a preciously wrapped meat .
It was the meat of peacock dragon .
/p>
Needless to say, it was not an ordinary cut of meat .
The meat he brought with him was the equivalent of neck chain of a cow and there was only 3kg of it in the gigantic body of a peacock dragon, so it was a very rare meat .
‘I do have to fulfill the duty of a son . ’
He was to bring the meat to his mother .
A peacock dragon’s meat had a special effect .
Anti-aging, increase of immune system, the increase of strength, fuel energy, etc . The meat’s worth was more than a common restorative . No, the meat of peacock dragon could be the best restorative there is .
It was different from the unverified health food where it was impossible to know the benefits other than the gossips around it . The effect took place after a couple of pieces of the meat . This was the real deal .
‘And for Mr . Kwon . ’
He also had the meat for Mr . Kwon .
It wasn’t as good as the neck chain, but it was a good cut .
Mr . Kwon was going to be his business partner, so it was better in many ways for him to restore his youth .
After placing the meat separately, Kang Cheul In drove the Mustang to Bucheon . I was going to present the meat to his mother before anything .
Vroom-!!
The 2020 Ford Mustang Coupe 5 . 0L GT coughed out a heavy exhaust sound .
‘It is time to get a new car . I will have to move too . ’
As the fund grew, he started to think of moving and getting a new car . It was nonsense for a lord to live in a small studio of 33 m² .
And the Mustang… It was a great car but it wasn’t a car for a lord . He was not going to sell it but was going to keep it as a collection . He collects cars .
While heading to Bucheon, he turned on the radio .
As always, he watched newspapers, TV and listened to the radio to ease the gap between the two places, just after he comes back .
Now, foreign affair news . The young heir of the Rothchild, Alex Rothchild, has announced that he is a dimension traveler . It is reported that Mr . Alex Rothchild has shown the ability to use psychic powers in front of many of the Hollywood’s celebrities .The very first news on the radio was that of a very unpleasant one . Kang Chul In frowned .
He changed the channel . It was better to listen to a cheesy radio station that to listen to the news of the Rothchild’s .
The government announced to postpone the restriction against animals and plants brought from the other world .He didn’t actually change the channel to a music station .
The High-level adventurer Mr . Lee Sang Deuk subdued a trio of the same adventurer and handed over to the police . Mr . Lee Sang Deuk is known to be…The world was changing .
‘The market will grow . ’
Kang Chul In thought of the near future .
Thanks to the growing trade between the Earth and Pangea, the Republic of Korea entered into a record-breaking economic boom . Needless to say, that the man who made that possible was Kang Chul In . The world was calm before the storm, and the fire was in its smallest state, yet .
/p>
Kang Chul In turned on his iPhone as he got closer to Bucheon . He wanted to call his mother as well as see the missed call he had .
Missed call: Mother (7)
Missed call: Du Sik Park (3)
Missed call: Mr . Kwon (1)
7 missed calls from mother, 3 from Park Du Sik and 1 from Mr . Kwon . It was not bad considering he was out of Earth for a month . But… There was one who left him hundreds of calls .
Missed call: Lee Chae Rin Assistant Manager (287)
Lee Chae Rin, she was the lord with the abundance skill .
He checked the time stamp .
“……?”
The last call was from 30 minutes ago . She must have called him over a week like this .
He turned on the mobile messenger application to see why she was trying to reach him .
Lee Chae Rin: Mr . Chul In . I have decided to live like a lord!
Lee Chae Rin: Are you busy?
Lee Chae Rin: Are you still in Pangea?
Lee Chae Rin: Let’s meet when you come back! I haven’t forgotten about that talk last time . I hope we can keep a good relationship as partners .
…(omit)…
The messages from a week ago looked fine . But the content of the message started to become a bit worrisome .
Lee Chae Rin: Mr . Chul In… Your phone is still off . Would you please call me back when you come back?
Lee Chae Rin: I can’t reach you today too…
Lee Chae Rin: Mr . Chul In…
Lee Chae Rin: Are you going to be out for long?
Lee Chae Rin: Help me… Mr . Chul In, please help me… If you see this message, please call me as soon as possible…
He could feel the desperation from the messages . He couldn’t know the scale of the trouble that she was in, which made her this desperate . It was clear that something had happened .
Just then .
He was receiving a phone call and the screen showed the name ‘Lee Char Rin Assistant Manager’ . The call came as soon as he turned on the phone .
“This is Kang Chul In . ”
He answered .
. . Chul In?Chae In’s voice was trembling over the phone .
“Yes, it’s me . ”
I’ve been waiting… for you…“… . . ?”
Can we meet? Where are you? I’ll be there .She sounded desperate . A person on top of the edge of a mountain will sound like that .
“I can’t at the moment . ”
But Kang Chul In refused her request .
It was time to serve his mother some good food . No matter how bad others need his time, that couldn’t come before his family .
“I’m on my way home . Let me call you back tonight . I don’t have any batteries left too . . ”
I’m in Bucheon!“……?”
I thought you would go to meet your parents when you come back… I’m in a hotel in Bucheon . I remembered that your mother works in Bucheon local market so…“……”
She was very desperate after all . So desperate enough for her to pack up and wait nearby .
/p>
Please give me a call when you are done .
“……”
But please meet me . I… I need you, Mr . Chul In…Her attitude made him wonder why .
‘It is not that difficult to meet her . ’
Kang Chul In remembered what he said to her when they met before .
‘But I will only help you when you really want to live like a lord . ’
‘You?’
‘I won’t spoon-feed you, but yes . ’
He even said this .
‘I will end it here . Think about it and if you think you are ready to live as a lord, then call me . Then I will think and treat you like one . ’
‘Ok…’
It is said that a man must keep one’s word .
Kang Chul In promised Lee Chae Rin that he would help her once she made up her mind to live as one . And She wanted to live as one .
Now, Lee Chae Rin is begging me to meet her . Because he gave his word, he is obliged to grant her request .
Even so, there was a possibility that she might become spoiled if he helped her without any hesitation . No wonder people say that if a favor continues, the recipient thinks that it is their right . He had to be picky about it in the beginning .
‘Fine, I will meet you . ’
Kang Chul In decided to meet Lee Chae Rin . A thought crossed his mind . He thought of a ‘reasonable reason to grant her wish’ so he thought this will be an ideal deal for both of them . He also needed her as she did of him .
But before that…
“Ms . Chae Rin . ”
He said .
“Didn’t you told me that you were going to live a life of a lord?”
He had to make sure of the things that bothered him .
I did… yes .“Then you will have to fix your attitude first . A lord is never servile, nor they beg of other’s favors . Even if they want something from another, they will have to mask their real intentions and make the opponent to do it for them . That is the foundation of being a lord . Your actions only remind me of the Assistant Manager Lee Chae Rin, not a lord . ”
……Kang Chul In’s words made her speechless .
“I wouldn’t even meet you in other circumstances . A naïve lord is nothing but a prey for other stronger lords . Like how the lions never talk to the deer . ”
……“This is the last chance . If you show the same attitude as today in the future… Then that will be the end of our relationship . If you want to talk to me as one lord to another, you have to show it to me with your attitude . ”
/p> I’m sorry . . no . I will . I will keep in mind what you have told me, Mr . Chul In .
Her voice recovered slightly from before . She seems to realize the position of a lord from Kang Chul In’s advice .
“Let’s meet now . ”
Finally, Kang Chul In told the very words that Lee Chae Rin wanted to hear the most .
Re…Really?“But, before that . ”
……“There is one condition . ”
Anything . Anything is conditions will be heard if I can meet you, Mr . Kang Chul In . ”“Are you good at BBQ?”
BBQ?Because of this unexpected term, a slight hint of dumbfounded tone could be heard from her voice .
