Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

58. The Power of the Golden Power

#58. The Power of the Golden Power

A lot of time had passed since I went on a date with Cynthia at the amusement park.

She regained her position as a direct descendant of the Kwon Seong-shin family. And the family members also welcomed her without any doubt.

To be honest, I couldn’t doubt it even if I wanted to. Who would hide their identity and infiltrate a family that was destined to fail? In other words, the situation of the Kwon Seong-shin family was that bad.

‘It seems like as each day passes, there’s more to do… .’

As the situation of Kwon Seong-shin’s family is not good, I have a lot of work to do.

Buried in a pile of paperwork, I cleared out everything I had already seen, separated only the really important ones, reviewed them again, and organized my thoughts.

“The situation with Kwon Seong-shin is much worse than I thought….”

The Kwon Sung Shin family, one of the seven great families and at the top. Now, the situation was a mess. I was worried about what to do with the Kwon Sung Shin family, which was a messier than I had thought. If we left it like this, the Kwon Sung Shin family would soon be completely destroyed.

By the way, how did so many annoying things happen… .

“There are a lot of things to worry about.”

There were only three things I cared about before.

“Cynthia” “Pantheon” “Characteristic: Observer”

There were other small things, but I didn’t really pay attention to them since they were taken care of by my subordinates, so that was about it.

But on the other hand, there were three people who were important enough for me to care about.

Now, the point is that it has increased even more.

In addition to the three above, here are a few things I’m currently concerned about… “The Current Status of the Seven Great Families’ Powers”, “The Kwon Seong-shin Family”, and “Expansion of the Bodyguards”.

‘He’s a bodyguard… Kim Yoo-sung will scout well. The ones you should be concerned about are the Seven Great Families. If things continue like this, the Kwon Sung-shin family will soon see bad things happen.’ The bodyguards are strong enough now, but we decided to increase the level of security in preparation for future events. So we took over a guild, and Kim Yu-seong will bring in suitable talents and install them in that guild.

While I was thinking about that, my smartphone screen turned on and a beeping sound rang out.

-[Kim Yu-seong]: Currently, we have three promising players. We have seven mid-level heroes and one high-level hero. And… … .

When I checked the message, it said that Kim Yu-seong had recruited promising players and heroes and had even signed a formal contract with the guild I had taken over.

And additionally, they even sent me a separate personal statement of those people… I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw this.

“Kuuu… Isn’t this guy completely crazy? He stole all the elite heroes and A-class prospects from the Golden Lion Guild?”

Kim Yu-seong, who was formerly from the Golden Lion Guild, left the guild and brought with him a considerable number of promising young players and elite soldiers.

“Looking at the contract, it doesn’t seem like they brought them in by pouring in money… They must have been tricked with words. In the case of the heroes, the Golden Lion Guild must have treated them well, but how did they manage to trick them so well? They are definitely talented.”

Kim Yoo-seong really gave his former guild a big hard time.

Besides, looking at the amount spent, it didn’t seem like he spent money recklessly. He probably used his words to get them to leave the guild.

‘As expected, it’s Kim Yu-seong. His performance is certain.’

I thought that I could leave all guild-related work to Secretary Cha and Kim Yu-seong, and I put that out of my mind. I thought that when the time came, they would pick out guys who would be useful as bodyguards and send them to me.

“By the way… I think something else happened? What was it?”

While I was looking through the report, I remembered something with the name ‘Lee Soo-hyuk’ in it. I just glanced at the name and thought I’d look at it later, so I skipped it. I found his name again in the report and read the contents.

– Lee Soo-hyuk discovered the gate, and Jeokryungju suggested to Joo Se-rin that they explore the gate together.

– Based on the content of the conversation and the results of tracing the location, it was determined that what Lee Soo-hyuk said was true.

“Ah… yeah, there was a report like this. That Lee Soo-hyuk discovered the gate.”

I don’t know if it was luck or what, but I had previously received a report that Lee Soo-hyuk had discovered a gate near the one I had locked up.

And I simply instructed Lee Soo-hyuk to go through the gate and clear it… and to steal anything good if there was one. I also told him to take a few appropriate artifacts and leave them there because it would be a problem if the reward was completely empty.

Anyway, it seems like it worked out well.

– We closely monitored Lee Soo-hyuk’s actions and checked for anything suspicious before the gate investigation was conducted. As a result of the check, we were unable to find anything suspicious.

– When the gate exploration was taking place, two bodyguards followed Lee Soo-hyuk and Joo Se-rin in hiding.

– This gate is a special gate, and all the monsters that appear are mutants, so it is judged that the rewards will be great.

– The moment the two of them captured the boss, the two bodyguards quickly infiltrated the space beyond the boss room where the ‘rewards’ were, took all the rewards, and left behind four artifacts.

– Lee Soo-hyuk takes three artifacts first, and Joo Se-rin takes the remaining one. Joo Se-rin gets angry, saying that the distribution is not right.

“Lee Soo-hyuk does the strategy, and I take the reward… and he also instigates conflict with Joo Se-rin. Isn’t that the best?”

I felt a little sorry for Lee Soo-hyuk for some reason… but it wasn’t my fault.

It made me feel good to see him unhappy.

They say other people’s misfortune is my happiness, and I think that saying is absolutely true.

Of course, not everyone becomes happy when they become unhappy, but it was true that I became happy when Lee Soo-hyuk became unhappy.

“By the way… Looking at the level of the monsters written in the report, it would have been impossible for Lee Soo-hyuk from a few months ago… As expected of the original protagonist, he has grown a lot. Seeing him grow well even after I took away his reward, I should continue to take it well in the future.”

I was planning to take away the ‘rewards’ that Lee Soo-hyuk was supposed to receive, and instead give him trials and pain to grow.

In any case, the result was the same ‘growth’… From Lee Soo-hyuk’s perspective, only the process was different.

Anyway, it was just a process, so it wasn’t something I had to worry about.

… But then I suddenly became curious.

What would Lee Soo-hyuk think later when he found out that I had taken away all the rewards he was supposed to receive?

Well, that’s something for later. You can think about it later.

Now, I had to take care of Kwon Seong-shin’s business first.

***

Han Seong-jin thought deeply about how to handle the Kwon Seong-shin family’s affairs, and then quickly made a decision.

Let’s solve it with money.

I thought about it from many different angles, but no matter how much I thought about it, money was the most important thing.

First, pour in some money, and if something doesn’t work out, pour more money into that area.

Still can’t solve it?

Then, I thought, wouldn’t it be okay to examine those parts in detail and figure out the cause?

And the result of putting that idea into action… .

People around him started calling him the Kwon Seong-shin song, the Kwon Seong-shin song of gold power.

Not only did he pay off all his loan debt overnight, but he also took care of all his complicated debt relationships other than money, other contracts made in his family’s name, and… everything he had to do with money.

A dispatch from Kwon Seong-shin’s unmanned unit?

He gave money to another guild and dispatched the hero as a proxy.

The buildings inside Kwon Seong-shin’s house that looked like they could collapse at any moment?

All of them retain their original form, but have been completely transformed into something new.

And that all in just two short weeks.

A large number of construction workers, magical equipment, and people with construction-related traits. They were bought with a huge amount of money.

And the fact that I even got to buy time is a bonus.

Anyway, all the countless complex problems within the Kwon Sung-shin family were solved under the name of ‘money’.

People say that Kwon Seong-shin was actually hiding money!

In fact, it was all a lie to pretend that he had no money! They started calling Kwon Seong-shin the ‘Kwon Seong-shin of Money’.

And with most of the internal problems within the Kwon Sung Shin family resolved, only the really complicated and fucked up problems remained.

Problems that can’t be solved with money.

These were issues directly related to the Seven Great Families.

Just as Han Sung-jin was pondering how to resolve this, Cynthia gave him some amazing advice.

“Why don’t we start a fight between the Seven Great Families?”

“… I thought about that too. The problem is how to start a fight between the families. The Baek family and the Min family are fighting among themselves, and I don’t think money or bribes will work on the other side.”

“How about I give you my family’s vision book and start a fight?”

“… Sia, are you crazy?”

“I’m a cow owner. If I don’t do this, I’ll be in danger of going bankrupt anyway… I have to take this risk!”

“Then I admit it.”

I came up with a plan based on Cynthia’s suggestion and the picture turned out pretty well. I can’t just give you a vision and tell you to fight, but I had one idea that was pretty good.

Should we give it a try like this?

‘Yun Ga-wa… I guess we can just attach the stock price and Min-ga.’

Since it’s a three-way battle and the three families are not on good terms with each other… they’ll fight very fiercely. And if there’s a family that seems like they’re going to lose? You can help them out a little and keep the fight going.

After that, I thought I could move forward depending on the situation.

‘Sia is a natural at picking on men. She’s good at using her brain in this way.’

Han Sung-jin saw an unexpected side of Cynthia today.
