nChapter 138: Chapter 138

nYou want to buy my Gold Goblin? How much are you paying?

nHo Sung Lee felt the veins on his forehead pop out. For a young kid, he was rude.

nHo Sung Lee cussed out the Arabian prince inside his head, but on the outside, he did his best to keep a smile on his face.

n“If there’s a price you have in mind, I’ll do my best to accommodate.”

nI don’t care about money.

n

n

nThe Arabian prince teased him and laughed.

n‘This bastard is teasing me.’

n‘It seems like he wants to flaunt his power using the Gold Goblin. What can I do?’

n‘I’ll just have to go along with it.’

n‘… Damn it!’

n“Please. The Gold Goblin is very important to us.”

nSo how much?

n“We’ll give you 10 billion,” Ho Sung Lee suggested.

nNo.

n“Then 12 billion…”

n

n

nNo.

nHo Sung Lee felt the urge to smoke.

n“Okay. Then 20 billion…!”

nNo.

n“Then how much do you want…?”

nI’m not selling.

n“… Pardon?”

nI’m not selling it. I don’t care if you have 100 or 200 billion. From what I’ve heard, this is the only Gold Goblin in the world. Why would I sell it, you idiot?

nHo Sung Lee felt his patience being tested, but he did his best to control his emotions.

n“So… you never intended on selling it in the first place.”

n

n

nOf course not, you dumb ass. Hahahahahaha!

nThe Arabian prince pointed at him and laughed.

n‘That son of a b*tch…’

nHo Sung Lee wanted to say a thing or two to the Arabian prince, but he held back.

n“Please. We really need the Gold Goblin…”

nWhy?

n“Pardon?! Oh, well…”

nShould I sell it to you?

n“Yes! Please. We’ll pay you what you want…”

nBut why do you need the Gold Goblin?

n

n

n“Well…”

nHow much can you pay for it? What’s the most you can pay?

n‘This son of a b*tch.’

nHo Sung Lee felt his patience being tested again, but he held back once more.

n“We can offer 30 billion…”

nI’ll sell it for 100 trillion.

n“… Pardon? 100 trillion…? That’s ridiculous-”

nForget it then.

nClack.

nBeep, beep, beep…

n

n

nHe hung up.

nHo Sung Lee couldn’t take his angry eyes off of the phone.

n“Haha… That little assholeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-!”

nHo Sung Lee screamed at his phone.

n“Ugh, this is pissing me off. What do I do? Ugh, seriously. If he wasn’t going to sell it, why did he waste my time? He should’ve just said he wasn’t selling? How dare he tease me!? Arghhhhhh!!”

nHo Sung Lee almost threw his phone before putting it in his pocket and dropping his head.

n“Ugh… I’m so stressed…”

nHe sat on the bench and took out a cigarette.

n“It’s empty.”

nHo Sung Lee looked down at his empty cigarette box. He crinkled it and then sighed deeply.

n“That bastard. Maybe he doesn’t even have the Gold Goblin.”

nWhile Ho Sung Lee doubted the Arabian prince, the phone rang.

n“Who is it this time?”

nHe checked the phone and saw that it was Min Sung Kang.

nHo Sung Lee answered it.

n“Yes, Sir. Hello.”

nWhere are you?

nHo Sung Lee looked around him.

n“I’m near the assembly.”

nWe’re eating. Come to the hotel.

n“Yes, Sir. I’ll be right there.”

nHe got up from the bench with an aged look on his face.

n***

nInside the hotel room, Min Sung looked down at the towel in his hands.

nThe towel was very soft.

nHe knew hotel towels were good, but he liked these very much.

nHe decided he would tell Ho Sung Lee to switch out his towels as he dried his hair.

nHe was in a good mood after a good night’s sleep.

nAs soon as he was done drying his hair, Bowl walked out of the tub while dripping in water.

nMin Sung handed him a towel.

nThe large towel completely covered Bowl.

nBowl wriggled around and struggled to dry his body.

nWhen he was almost done getting dressed, he got a message from Ho Sung Lee saying he was in the lobby.

nHe looked beside him and saw Bowl putting on his pants.

nMin Sung waited until Bowl finished getting dressed.

nDressing in casual clothes made him look like a real doll.

nOnce Bowl was finished getting dressed, he jumped into Min Sung’s pocket.

nMin Sung left his room in order to enjoy a meal.

nHe intended on eating at the hotel restaurant.

nAs soon as Min Sung and Ho Sung Lee entered the restaurant, they saw a luxurious place lit by gold light.

nThey saw a fancy wine cellar as well as bowls and frypans which were displayed as if they were works of art.

nMin Sung passed the central hall and settled down near the window.

nNot a single person could be seen passing by outside the window.

nIt appeared as if he and Ho Sung Lee were the only humans that existed in this world.

nIf all humans really happened to die due to the devils…

nMin Sung’s eyes fell.

n‘There would be no one to cook for me.’

nJust thinking about it was dreadful.

n“Sir?”

nHo Sung Lee’s voice woke him back up.

nThey could hear subtle music in the background as well as the manager standing tall.

nMin Sung opened the menu.

nHe picked one and ordered two portions for him and Ho Sung Lee.

nHo Sung Lee smiled out of happiness after noticing that he ordered for him as well.

nAfter they ordered, Min Sung looked at Ho Sung Lee with an intense look in his eyes.

nHo Sung Lee, who was excited to eat, suddenly turned gloomy as a result.

n“I did find someone who could be the best for the job of carrying our items…”

nMin Sung’s eyes lit up.

n“Really?”

n“But… it won’t be easy.”

n“What do you mean?”

n“There’s something called the Gold Goblin. It’s entirely gold with a gold pocket which can hold an infinite number of items.”

n“A monster?”

n“It is, but it can be used as storage. There were only rumors about it, but when I looked into it, an Arabian prince had one, and the general got me connected to him. So the Gold Goblin does exist.”

n“So?”

n“That Arabian prince is stubborn. He asked how much we can pay, so I made an offer…”

nHo Sung Lee shook his head.

n“… But he had no intention of selling it in the first place.”

nFollowing Ho Sung Lee’s report, the appetizer came out.

n“Look into where that Arabian prince lives.”

nHo Sung Lee jolted his eyes open.

n“… You’re going to find him?”

n“Yeah.”

nThe food then came out.

nMin Sung lifted his fork.

nThe dish that the waitress brought was tilefish.

nMin Sung looked at it and smacked his lips.

nIt was perfect.

nIt was fried on the outside while the inside was perfectly cooked.

nJust looking at it made him salivate.

nSince the bone was already taken out, he could eat it comfortably.

nMin Sung stuck his fork into it.

nThe outside made a crackling sound as the fork dug into the inside.

nMin Sung tasted the tilefish with great anticipation.

nAs soon as he took a bite, his face looked in awe.

n“Haa…”

n‘It’s delicious.’

nHe saw it coming, but the real thing satisfied his craving more than he ever expected.

nThe fried flavors were unbelievable, and the inside was as soft as it could be.

nHe wondered if there was anything as delicious as this grilled tilefish.

n‘It’s so soft.’

n‘I can’t believe food like this exists.’

nMin Sung couldn’t help but express his awe.

n***

nAfter finishing his meal, Min Sung drank some water and looked at Ho Sung Lee.

nHe was looking at his phone.

nHo Sung Lee noticed Min Sung’s gaze and lifted his head.

n“Sir, I found his address. Ji Yoo Kim said she asked some world hunters and got us a meeting with the Arabian prince.”

n“What about my car?”

n“Oh, I checked that on our way here. Samchunkyo got you the same car. And the Warp Gate is making a landing pad for you, but that will probably take some time.”

nMin Sung nodded.

n“Let’s go.”

nMin Sung left the restaurant.

n***

nMin Sung, Ho Sung Lee, and Bowl headed to the Warp Gate in the new car Samchunkyo prepared.

nHo Sung Lee was surprised while driving.

nHe killed a Samchunkyo hunter, but they took responsibility.

nThat meant Samchunkyo was afraid of Min Sung Kang.

nOn top of that, they even got a new Ferrari to replace the old one.

nHis influence gave him the chills the more he thought about it.

nWhile he marveled over Min Sung Kang’s power, they approached the Warp Gate.

n***

nThey arrived in Arab via the Warp Gate.

n“Thank you, Sir. For letting me take the Warp Gate.”

nMin Sung didn’t respond.

nMeanwhile, the country was so hot that Bowl changed into a robe that covered his entire body.

nHo Sung Lee looked around him and showed that he was hot.

nBut Min Sung didn’t care about the heat.

nA moment later, a car arrived and Ho Sung Lee sat in the driver’s seat.

nThey drove for a long time toward the house that the Arabian prince lived at.

nThe size of the house was enormous.

nOf course, that big house wasn’t the only residence that he possessed.

nAs soon as they arrived, Ho Sung Lee parked the car and rang the doorbell.

nHe could hear a woman’s voice.

nWho is it?

nHe assumed it was a housekeeper.

n“I’m here to meet the Arabian prince.”

n
