Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter] - Chapter 378
“Get on board quickly, Chief! Block it, block it there even more! Make it invisible!”
Jacheong hurriedly began directing the bodyguards and attendants.
While Ram Hwayeon and Ram Hwajeong were being guided and moved, Lee Ha and Kijeong were also being forcibly(?) dragged by their hands.
“Now, wait a minute- why am I-”
“Hwi, who is carrying the wheelchair- now?”
“The wheels won’t turn!”
The physical fight, which was like a battlefield, did not last long.
Once Jacheong’s skillful command began, the route from the airport to the vehicle was organized in an instant.
They were all able to board the improved van less than five minutes after Ram Hwa-jeong ran up to Lee Ha and hugged him.
‘Van? ‘This is almost like a limousine bus?’
The huge vehicle was completely tinted, making it impossible to see the inside from the outside.
His driving skills, leaving the airport as soon as the door closed, were also unusual.
“I will take you straight to the inspection site.”
“Yes, please do that.”
The passenger in the passenger seat looked behind him and said.
In addition, there were two attendants and two bodyguards each in the last row, and Ram Hwayeon and Ram Hwajeong sat in opposite seats next to the door, and Lee Ha and Kijeong sat across from them.
In other words, Lee Ha and Ki-jeong were sitting in the car carrying the most important people related to the Lamlong Group’s trip to Korea.
“Whew… I heard this is why I don’t want to go to Asian countries. Are you surprised?”
Ram Hwayeon tucked her red-brown hair behind her ear and fanned her hand.
The reason their every move became a hot topic was not just because they were the largest conglomerate in Hong Kong.
It goes without saying that their appearance played a role.
“Ah, uh- what is this….”
“Leeha, intense- this is our first meeting. Well, nice to meet you.”
“huh? Now that I think about it, hehe, I thought he was your attendant, but he’s a guild master from scratch, right?”
“Yes, it just so happened… that’s how it happened. Oh, it’s been a while, Ram Hwayeon and Ram Hwajeong?”
Kijeong was struggling next to Lee Ha.
The class difference between ‘equality’ in Middle Earth and other realities was much more significant than expected.
“Where would I have an entourage? It’s not a life like yours.”
But that only applies to Ki-jeong. The following even made me feel comfortable.
Hearing those words, Ram Hwayeon quickly nodded and changed the topic.
“Heh, anyway, what did you mean by being uncomfortable? Are you very uncomfortable?”
“uh? Um, it’s Mavi. The entire lower body.”
“Hmm…”
Ram Hwayeon looked at Iha’s legs with a curious expression.
Her eyes were so blatant that even Ki-jeong, who was next to her, glanced at Leeha for a moment.
If Shin Nara was different from ordinary women, Ram Hwayeon was different in another sense.
“Can you fix it?”
“huh. They said there was a chance if I had surgery. ah! Thanks to you, Ram Hwayeon, it will be much easier.”
“Indeed… Is it clear that you have the motivation to survive for a long time in Middle Earth without logging out? It wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to monetize that enormous growth. No, you must have already collected a certain amount, right? Isn’t the settlement money we took from Castle Dale enough?”
“That’s not it again. Since it is a surgery performed in Germany, I did not receive a specific estimate of at least KRW 2 billion, but the price would likely rise as time passes. The difficulty of surgery would have increased.”
“Are you a famous doctor?”
“The previous hospital said they would write a referral, but I don’t know. All I remember is that they said they were in the largest hospital in Germany. Heinrich – who said that?”
Ram Hwayeon asked calmly, and Lee Ha also answered calmly.
“Heinrich…”
Iha noticed that her expression was slightly flinching, but he didn’t pay any particular attention to it.
‘Well, that would be a natural reaction.’
However, Lee Ha couldn’t figure out exactly what she was thinking.
“Hmm! Anyway, thanks for coming out. No, it’s natural for me to come out, right?”
“Why do you even take it for granted? I also lost precious time?”
When Lee Ha shrugged his shoulders, Ram Hwayeon smiled brightly.
I smile when I see the faces below. It was a laugh that came from more than just joy.
* * *
“―Therefore, since this area has already been planned as an international business district, there is a plan to approach it with the concept of a high-end business hotel rather than a leisure resort. If the general manager makes a decision-”
“So, so? You killed all of the Demon Lord’s army? You get achievements too?”
“It wasn’t bad. After all, I didn’t do it alone. As you know-”
Lee Ha looked at Ram Hwayeon as he spoke and then glanced to the side.
A blue-black girl sitting quietly next to Ram Hwayeon.
Perhaps it was because of her dark hairstyle, unlike her blue hair in Middle Earth, but her calmness and coldness seemed even more difficult to distinguish.
However, it was only a feeling related to the impression, and the heat that offset all the atmosphere was erupting from the girl’s eyes as she looked below.
“―Ram Hwajeong here… also played a big role.”
“Because you’re my brother.”
“Yes, yes?”
No one could understand Ram Hwa-jeong’s words, which omitted the more important sentence, ‘If it had been anyone else, I wouldn’t have gone that far.’
Ram Hwayeon understood her younger brother’s words and nodded with a bitter smile.
“Tch, the hard work was worth it. At least our guild, including Hwajeong, should join the expedition to the New World. Are you going to take responsibility?”
“I-I’m not the one selecting, what do you mean?”
“Anyway, I’ll believe it.”
“…Director, did you hear what I said?”
“Yes, I heard. You may have heard it, but I’ve already seen it all in documents. Choosing between the first and second candidates. I know, and I’m still monitoring the surrounding atmosphere at this moment, so don’t worry.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Her ‘don’t worry’ had the same nuance as ‘don’t interrupt this precious time.’
“Oh, come to think of it, Ram Hwayeon, weren’t you focusing on Middle Earth? I don’t know, but… well… I’ve seen an article like that.”
The questions below were the same as those asked by reporters at the airport, but the intention was different. And Ram Hwayeon was a woman who could catch that difference well.
“I know very well. Then I think you can think of the reason. how is it?”
She has been smiling ever since she got into the van.
Just like Ram Hwa-jeong, the atmosphere was quite different just because the hair color was different between Middle Earth and reality.
Lee Ha looked at her for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“Hmm… I guess it’s obvious. In Middle Earth, Hwahong currently owns 6 castles or cities. Because the profits generated there are converted into cash is enormous. What is the break-even point? That has probably already been passed. I was recognized for my achievements at the group level and was given another authority… to what extent?”
“Awesome, brother.”
Clap, clap, clap.
Ram Hwa-jeong clapped, and Ram Hwa-yeon did not bother to reply but just smiled.
In that atmosphere, Ki-jeong was fiddling with her smartphone as if to say, ‘I am a person who does not exist.’
If Lee Ha found out who Ki-jeong was communicating with and what it was about, he would have jumped.
“Then where shall we take you now? Leeha.”
Jacheong’s voice felt quite serious to Lee Ha.
In Middle Earth, I was quite close to Lee Ha and received a lot of help from him, but the feeling in real life was completely different.
Truly a high-level manager of a large group company.
A tutor and aide who marks Ram Hwayeon and Ram Hwajeong 1:1.
The force that radiated from his absolute ability to handle tasks and the sleek suit that did not look like he was middle-aged were enough to make it difficult for Lee Ha.
“Ah, yes, over there – Mr. Jacheong, um… this is what the place I found feels like.”
“Look! Um – what is this?! It was taken from the Michelin Guide, right?! A steak restaurant?”
“Well, I should go to that place! How long have I been looking for that? No, but why don’t you give it back to me first?”
“Heng, that’s enough. There’s no need for this!”
Ram Hwayeon tore the paper he snatched from Lee Ha’s hand, left and right.
Iha’s eyes widened.
“I could eat this every day. Something better. This is not what I want, Leeha.”
Her upper body protruded downward.
Seeing her provocative attitude, Lee Ha was able to quickly change his mind.
“good. Good good. I know what you want. You won’t regret it, right?”
“Do you think you’ll regret it?”
“okay. Kijeong!”
“Uh, huh?!”
“Let’s go to our neighborhood to eat tteokbokki. I put a lot of fried dumplings in it.”
It literally means to guide you to a popular place to eat. Ram Hwayeon and Leeha were people who clearly understood each other.
‘Put me down… I’ll just take the bus!’
Ki-jeong, who was sitting next to me, was the only one who felt uncomfortable.
* * *
“Ajumma, cup tteokbokki—”
“Shhh! Guys, let’s go.”
“Who’s in there?”
“If you ask me that, you’ll be in big trouble! Go!”
The lady at the tteokbokki restaurant who was waiting outside the store quickly chased away the approaching elementary school students.
The small tteokbokki restaurant, which is less than 5 pyeong, was completely occupied after the group rented it out.
What’s more, the overwhelming size of the two security guards standing at the entrance… The lady at the tteokbokki restaurant, who didn’t know who they were, was just doing her best to protect the children.
“hmm! Spicy! But it’s delicious! What’s this!? They don’t even sell it at the night market?”
“water.”
“Hmm, as someone from Hong Kong, it’s a bit odd to call these ‘dumplings.’ “Compared to small xiao long bao-”
“You talk like xiao long bao while eating fried dumplings that cost 300 won each. Now, here’s the water. The tteokbokki here is delicious even when eaten with pickled radish and kimchi.”
In that small store, Leeha and Ki-jeong were the daily owners and part-time workers. As Lee Ha watched them emptying their bowls of delicious tteokbokki, a question arose.
‘But just talking about Middle Earth… What, if you’re going to talk about this, can’t you just do it within Middle Earth?’
It was different when I met Shin Nara.
Where do you live, what do you like, what did you do in the past? Although we talked a lot more about the actual reality.
I wondered if it was because of the distance difference between Hong Kong and Seoul, but that wasn’t the only reason.
In fact, there was just something Iha couldn’t remember. Jacheong has already recited the following profile.
Ram Hwayeon already knew ‘almost everything’ about Lee Ha, so she did not ask him any questions.
“I’m going to go get depressed-”
“Eat and talk, eat.”
“What kind of dining etiquette does the eldest daughter of the head of a global group have?”
Gulp, gulp, gulp.
“Hmph, you only get to eat like this at places like this? You can’t eat whatever you want outside.”
“Okay, so eat slowly. Chehalla.”
“So, I asked when you were going to go for surgery.”
“When and what. It only goes if you make money-”
Beep! Beep, beep!
It was then that Jacheong’s cell phone rang loudly. The volume was so loud that everyone was shocked.
“Volunteer?”
“Oh my… it’s the chairman.”
“Phew, you won’t leave me alone even for a moment. please.”
A hotline phone that only the president can contact. Ram Hwayeon received the phone with a somewhat dark expression.
