nChapter 140: Chapter 140

nMansud showed a sad look on his face and cautiously asked Min Sung.

n“Tell me what you want.”

nIn response, Mansud pointed at Bowl.

nMinsung sternly shook his head.

n“Not that.”

n

n

nBowl stood beside him with his hands on his waist and snickered.

n“My master would never leave me with a kid like you. I’m a dark magician Lich…”

n“Wow, he even talks! So cute. Then let me just play with him for a day. Please!”

nMansud put his hands together and pleaded.

nMin Sung laughed.

n“Sure, why not.”

nIn response, Bowl flinched and trembled as he looked up at Min Sung.

nHe felt betrayed.

n“Wow!”

nMansud put his hands in the air and jumped up and down.

n

n

nHe was sad that he couldn’t have Bowl, but just the fact that he could play with such an interesting doll made him feel like it was Christmas.

n“Then is that a deal?”

nMin Sung offered a handshake.

nA handshake meant there was a promise.

nMansud took Min Sung’s bigger hand and shook it.

nAs such, the Gold Goblin was obtained.

n***

nMin Sung and Ho Sung Lee followed Mansud and his secretary in order to meet the Gold Goblin.

nMansud hugged Bowl in his arms and pat his bald skull head.

nBowl felt miserable, but he had to follow Min Sung’s orders, so he didn’t act up.

n

n

nOn the other hand, Ho Sung Lee laughed at Bowl, who was on the verge of tears.

nHe felt like his indigestion of 10 years was finally cured.

nThis was payback for all the ridicule he faced from Bowl.

n‘That’s our Min Sung Kang.’

n‘He knows how to control kids.’

nHe was worried that he would be heartless toward the kid, but he was relieved to see that he had some sort of human emotions.

n“This is impressive. It looks like a historical site,” Ho Sung Lee remarked as he looked around the large underground cave.

nIt almost looked like a place from the film, “Indiana Jones”.

nThere were some large murals on the walls, and the ground was dirt, but there were also luxurious objects lined up against the walls.

nAfter walking through the unique pathway, they arrived at a large iron door.

n

n

nSeeing how there was a blue light around it, there must have been a magical enchantment.

nMansud completed an iris and fingerprint scan which caused the door to open in a noisy manner.

nAnd then the sight behind it revealed itself.

nIt almost looked like a secret treasure.

nThere were expensive items piled on top of each other, and the most valuable items were even locked away in glass boxes.

nHo Sung Lee dropped his jaw and looked around, but only Min Sung had his eyes fixed on one thing only.

nWhat Min Sung was looking at was an iron cage.

nInside was an object that gave off a gold light.

nNo, it wasn’t an object but a monster.

nA gold monster called the Gold Goblin.

n

n

nAs soon as Min Sung walked toward the cage of the Gold Goblin, Ho Sung Lee also noticed it and followed behind him.

nEven Mansud, who was holding Bowl, stood next to Min Sung and Ho Sung Lee.

n“Oh my god. It’s real…”

nHo Sung looked at the Gold Goblin and expressed his surprise.

nJust as he said, the Gold Goblin was completely made of gold.

nSeeing it in real life made him feel shocked and fascinated.

n“Is it in bad condition?”

nAt that moment, Min Sung asked as he looked at the Gold Goblin.

nThe Gold Goblin was kneeling inside the cage.

n“It was hard to control it after building it. It had a habit of collecting anything it saw, so it was a pain… That’s why I locked it up.”

nHe looked at Min Sung and shrugged.

n“Am I signing a contract with that Goblin myself?”

nMin Sung asked.

n“That’s right. But you mustn’t scare it.”

n“Why not?”

n“The Gold Goblin has a sensitive personality, so if you pressure him or get angry, he won’t want to sign a contract.”

nMin Sung crossed his arms with an annoyed look on his face as he looked at the Gold Goblin.

n“So I have to convince him?”

n“People normally make deals.”

n“What kind of deals?”

n“Hm… something the Gold Goblin might want? If he makes a proposal himself, that would be even better.”

nMin Sung approached the cage and punched the cage with his fist.

nHowever, the Gold Goblin didn’t show a response.

nHe didn’t even look at him.

n“Why does he look so down?”

nMin Sung kept his eye on the Gold Goblin and sighed.

nAnd then…

nPowwwwwwwww!

nMin Sung crushed the cage to pieces with his fist.

nThe cage broke into little pieces and scattered everywhere.

nAt that point, the Gold Goblin expressed his surprise and looked up at Min Sung.

nMin Sung walked toward the Gold Goblin and kneeled in order to make eye contact.

nAfter seeing Min Sung’s eyes, the Gold Goblin was so scared that it dropped its jaw and started crying.

nWhat was fascinating was that the Gold Goblin cried without making a sound, but it did shed tears made of god.

nIn any case, Min Sung clicked his tongue and tapped on the floor with his fist.

n“I need you. I want to make a deal with you. What do you want?”

nIn response, the Gold Goblin stopped crying and looked back at Min Sung with his guard up.

n“Can’t he talk?”

nMin Sung asked the secretary.

n“He can. We’ve been teaching him for a while, so he’s able to communicate.”

nIn response, Min Sung turned back to the Gold Goblin.

nIt almost seemed like the Gold Goblin suffered from severe depression.

nMansud rubbed Bowl’s hand and just looked at Bowl without any interest in anything else while the secretary looked at the Gold Goblin in pity.

nMin Sung left the cage and called Ho Sung Lee over.

nHo Sung Lee quickly walked toward Min Sung.

n“Yes, Sir. What is it?”

n“You have 5 minutes. Convince him in 5 minutes.”

n“Me? That Gold Goblin?”

n“Yeah. 5 minutes. If you don’t succeed, both you and that Gold Goblin will die today.”

nMin Sung set a stopwatch on his language watch.

n1, 2, 3.

nTick-tock- Tick-tock-

nTime began to pass.

nThe secretary dripped in cold sweat while Mansud showed some interest with Bowl in his arms.

nHo Sung Lee made a face that looked like he was saying, “Fuck!” and ran over to the Gold Goblin.

n“Make a deal with my hunter.”

nIn response, the Gold Goblin frowned and shed tears.

nHo Sung Lee looked at the Gold Goblin and smiled.

n“It’s okay. Don’t cry, you baby. Why are you crying? Why don’t you want to make a deal? Huh? Tell me.”

nThe Gold Goblin looked down to the ground and spoke.

n“… I’m just happier here.”

n“Haha. What’s so happy about being trapped in a cage?”

n“I’m a useless goblin. No, I’m not even a goblin. I’m just a dreadful hybrid…”

n“Why do you think that?”

n“Because everyone treats me that way. I’ve never met a partner in my life. If I leave, I’ll just be even more lonely.”

nThe Gold Goblin began crying again.

n“I look weird, so females don’t like me. They say I’m not like the other goblins…”

nThe Gold Goblin spoke while sniffling.

n“I’ve never had a nice conversation with a female before. They ran away before I could say anything. I’m a useless and weird goblin.”

nHe then cried harder, and Ho Sung Lee laughed.

n“That’s it? I thought it was something more serious. Hey, why are you crying about something like that? You’re such a cool guy. You’re impressive. You’re not weird. You’re special. Don’t you know “Ugly Duckling”?”

n“…?”

n“She thought she was an ugly duckling when she was actually a swan. That’s you. You’re special and cool!”

nThe Gold Goblin’s eyes shook. However, his eyes soon turned sad again.

n“Don’t you like to collect things? If you make a deal with my hunter, you can collect all sorts of amazing items.”

n“What’s the point when I don’t have a partner? There’s no point in continuing to live.”

nThe Gold Goblin put his big gold face on his knees.

nAt that moment, Min Sung tapped on his language watch.

n“2 minutes left.”

nHo Sung Lee felt pressured.

n“Then how about this? I’ll introduce you to someone.”

nThe Gold Goblin lifted his head.

nHo Sung Lee saw this as his last chance and continued,

n“Once you come with us to collect items and clear the Black Tower, I’ll introduce you to as many female goblins as you want. How about that? Deal?”

nHe continued,

n“You don’t know “101 Produce”, do you?”

n“… What’s that?”

n“It’s like a music program. What I mean to say is I’ll introduce you to 101 female goblins. And then I’ll make it so that you can settle down with one of them. You deserve that much.”
