nChapter 137: Chapter 137

n***

nHo Sung Lee had to hire someone to carry their items, but he wasn’t able to find a suitable candidate, so he ranted to Woong Jang.

nThat’s difficult.

n“Jeez, if I don’t get this done, Min Joon will scold me for being useless. I mean, how am I supposed to find someone when no one’s qualified?”

nIn response to Ho Sung Lee’s complaint, Woong Jang laughed.

n

n

nCome to think of it, I remembered hearing something similar.

n“What?”

nHo Sung Lee asked with widened eyes.

nGold Goblin.

n“Oh…!”

nHe sprung up from the bench.

nHe began to feel hope from deep within.

n“You’re right! There’s the Gold Goblin!”

nHo Sung Lee exclaimed in excitement and then realized something.

n“But…I’ve only heard rumors of it. There are no real videos of it, so people say it’s a lie.”

n

n

nThe Gold Globin was a goblin monster with an entirely gold body.

nThe pouch connected to the Gold Golbin’s left wrist was also made of gold.

nInside that gold pouch that he was born with, like a Kangaroo, was a space that was large enough to carry an infinite number of items.

nHowever, that was just a rumor.

nThere was no evidence that he really existed.

nSorry, I can’t be of more help.

n“That’s okay. You never know. Maybe I’ll meet the Gold Goblin one day.”

nThat would be nice. Well, best of luck. Oh, and I sent the other recipes by email. It’ll help you with your next run to the grocery store.

n“Thank you, Chef.”

nYou can do it!

n

n

n“Thank you. Bye, Chef.”

nHo Sung Lee ended his call. He finished his cigarette. He threw it out and then looked at his phone.

nThe Gold Goblin.

nIf he found him, there would be no better outcome than that.

n‘I hope he exists. Please, please, please…!’

nHo Sung Lee prayed and searched the internet for the Gold Goblin.

nHowever, the results made Ho Sung Lee grow pale.

nHe didn’t think it would be easy, but there was absolutely no trace of the Gold Goblin on the internet.

nAs if it was a past trend, no information could be found about the monster.

nHo Sung Lee looked at his phone and scratched his head.

n

n

n‘Maybe there’s no such thing.’

nNo Gold Goblin.

nHo Sung Lee sighed at his phone and put his phone number on one of the item sale websites just in case anyone knew about the Gold Goblin.

nHe posted the question and sat on the bench.

nA moment later, he heard his phone alarm.

nHo Sung Lee lifted his phone and checked this notification.

nThere was one message, and that message was from someone selling the Gold Goblin.

nHo Sung Lee sprung up and immediately made a call.

n“Hello? Are you really selling the Gold Goblin?”

nHo Sung Lee excitedly asked.

n

n

nYes, I am. If you transfer 10 million won to me now, I’ll send him your way.

n‘By mail…?’

n“No, we should meet face to face. It’s not like the Gold Goblin is an object.”

nThis is the only way.

nHo Sung Lee closed his eyes.

nHe was beginning to feel stressed.

n“You son of a bitch! You’re scamming me, right?”

nNo.

n“Do you know who you’re messing with? Do you want to die?”

nBeep, beep, beep.

n“That asshole… Ugh!”

nHo Sung Lee clenched his teeth and smoked another cigarette.

n“F*ck. Yeah, who’d just give me a Gold Goblin just like that? Nothing comes that easy. I should just give up. F*ck.”

nDing!

nAt that moment, he heard another alarm.

nIt was another message.

n“This is probably a scam, too.”

nHo Sung Lee scoffed as he checked his messages.

nHe then threw his cigarette on the ground.

nWhen Ho Sung Lee checked the message, he was shocked.

nIs that you, Ho Sung Lee? I’m a huge fan! I hope this information will help.

nA photo was attached to the message. It was the legendary Gold Goblin. The person had captured someone who uploaded the photo on social media.

nHo Sung Lee gulped and checked the account that posted the photo.

nHe wondered if he could see the Gold Goblin’s photo himself, but…

nPrivate account

nThe social media account was made private. Ho Sung Lee scratched his head as a result.

nHe tried to follow the account, but there was no response yet.

nAs he looked at the profile, Ho Sung Lee saw the name and tilted his head.

n‘Is this person famous?’

n‘Why does this person have so many followers?’

nWhen he searched the name on the internet, it was an Arabian prince.

n“Oh… that makes sense. He was an Arabian prince. Yeah, then I can see why he has a Gold Goblin.”

nHo Sung Lee stood on the bench in excitement.

n“But how do I contact him?”

nAfter a moment of thought, Ho Sung Lee lifted his head.

n“The general! I’m sure the general of the Central Insitute can help me!”

nHo Sung Lee immediately gave Ji Yoo Kim a call.

n***

nThe robed man, Jae Hyuk Han, arrived at the assembly.

nWhen the robed man appeared, the world hunters scattered to make way for him.

nWhile the wold hunters watched by, Jae Hyuk Han passed them and entered the tent.

nInside, the Samchunkyo hunters all got up.

nHowever, their behavior was iffy.

nThey didn’t act like they were greeting a superior.

nHe was in an iffy place between a superior and someone they couldn’t treat with disrespect.

nThat was the position of the robed man, Jae Hyuk Han.

nJae Hyuk Han sat at the head of the table.

nIn response, the Samchunkyo hunters also sat down.

n“Are you here to make an announcement?”

nOne Samchunkyo hunter asked.

n“Stand by temporarily.”

nIn response, the Samchunkyo hunters knitted their brows.

nThey thought they would get an announcement by now, but they had to wait longer.

nThe Samchunkyo hunters all looked at Jae Hyuk Han with curious eyes, but he didn’t respond or react.

nThe silence made the meeting room feel cold.

n***

nAs soon as Ho Sung Lee, who was biting his nails on the bench, saw a car speeding over, he sprung up.

nHe saw a sports car racing in his direction.

nA moment later.

nScreech!

nA yellow sports car stopped in front of him.

nInside that car was Ji Yoo Kim.

n“General! What happened?”

nHo Sung Lee ran over and asked Ji Yoo Kim.

nJi Yoo Kim smiled and showed him an okay sign with her fingers.

n“Wow! Amazing!”

nHo Sung Lee clenched his fists and put strength in his entire body.

nAs soon as an impossible mission turned into reality, he felt happy and relieved.

n“All I could help you with was get you connected with the Arabian prince,” Ji Yoo Kim said in worry.

n“Haha! I know that! The rest is up to me. Thank you so much, General!”

n“Don’t mention it. A call will come in through your phone soon enough.”

n“Sure! Thank you!”

n“I need to get going now.”

nJi Yoo Kim said goodbye to Ho Sung Lee and then disappeared.

nHo Sung Lee looked at his phone and breathed in and out.

n“How much should I buy it for?”

nHe rubbed his nervous face

n‘Since a gold monster is alive and moving, 10 billion? Is that enough?’

n‘No, I should spend more.’

nIf he offered a low number, they could refuse right away.

nHo Sung Lee used his calculator to arrive at a reasonable number.

nAlthough he uploaded a photo to his social media, there was no telling whether he really had the Gold Goblin.

nAnd even if he had it, all Ji Yoo Kim of the Central Inistute could do was connect them for a call.

nAnd since the prince was rich, it was possible that he wouldn’t want to sell it in the first place.

nWhile he considered all sorts of possibilities, he got a call from a foreign number.

nHo Sung Lee calmed himself down and answered it.

nIt went to a video call.

n‘Hm?’

nHo Sung Lee looked at the phone screen in confusion.

nOn the screen was a young Arabian boy who looked like an elementary student.

n‘Who knew the prince was this young…?’

nHo Sung Lee dripped in cold sweat.

n‘But then again, this happens with princes.’

nHe thought he could get what he wanted if he played the right cards.

n“Hello, Your Highness,” Ho Sung Lee said as he bowed his head.

nThe young Arabian prince showed squinted eyes and a tilted smile that made him look arrogant.

nHo Sung Lee tried his best to keep his facial expression natural.

n‘Look at this prince’s face. What a son of a b*tch.’

nAfter Ho Sung Lee coughed a few times, he put a smile on his face.

n“Haha, I’m calling about the photo of a Gold Goblin on your social media. Do you really have one?”

nHo Sung Lee asked with anticipation on his face.

nYeah, I do.

nThe Arabian prince said with a smirk.

nHo Sung Lee’s heart pounded like crazy.

nHe was so surprised that his chest felt stuffy, and it became harder to breathe.

n‘Oh my god!’

n‘So the Gold Goblin actually exists?’

nHe realized that Min Sung Kang’s mission could actually become a reality.

n“Your Highness. I’d like to buy your Gold Goblin.”

nIn response, the Arabian prince smirked and scoffed.
