Chapter 39

Chapter 39: Trampling those with Gold Spoons (2)

Jung Kwang-hyeon couldn’t destroy Kang-jun’s base at the Dafeng building immediately .

The goshiwon rooms would be maintained as Kang-jun’s territory for the remainder of the contract period . But once the contract was over and the areas belonged to Jung Kwang-hyeon, Kang-jun would receive a severe disadvantage .

All of this was due to the power of money!

He owned a seven billion won building so it wouldn’t be a problem for Jung Kwang-hyeon to purchase the Dafeng building .

However, Kang-jun also had money . 12 . 5 million won .

Of course, it was petty cash to Jung Kwang-hyeon . Still, if Kang-jun used it correctly then it would be a powerful weapon against Jung Kwang-hyeon .

'Jung Kwang-hyeon! You must think that you are quite powerful . Don’t get so carried away with thoughts of victory . ’

Kang-jun had a sly smile on his face .

‘It is nonsense! Even if you buy the Dafeng building, the fight isn’t over . ’

Kang-jun had no intention of giving up his base in the Dafeng building . His base, barrack and research institute were there .

Still, he decided to prepare for the worst .

A new base!

It was possible for a sovereign to have more than one base . There could be thousands of bases if the sovereign had enough money in reality .

However, creating a new base was a somewhat cumbersome procedure .

A period of time to gather the money to rent or buy the base in reality was needed . Then he would need to wait until the door to Hwanmong opened . The base could only be built once he entered Hwanmong .

The problem was that the sovereign needed to fight the monsters near the new base alone! That could be a dangerous thing .

Of course, those with a lot of money like Jung Kwang-hyeon could create new bases with very favourable conditions . There was no risk if they owned the building, and the large resources meant they could easily build barracks or research institutes .

Kang-jun’s case was entirely different . Even if he had 12 . 5 million won, that would only allow him to rent a studio apartment with good facilities .

Even if it was just one room, it was still better than a goshiwon . If the room was empty then he could move in the same day that the contract was signed .

Eco Studio Apartments .

It was newly opened and the facilities were fantastic compared to the Dafeng goshiwon . There was a bathroom space with a spacious shower and sink included . The bed looked very comfortable to sleep in .

Now Kang-jun was earning money, so there was no need to sign a contract with a cheap goshiwon . Anyway, there weren’t many cheap places around the goshiwon .

“Hoho! A very handsome man . This place is clean and has very good facilities . Are you an office worker?”

The owner of the studio apartment, a woman in her 30s welcomed Kang-jun .

“Yes . Is there an empty room?”

"Even though it hasn’t been long since we’ve opened, many rooms are already gone . How about Room 307? It costs 520,000 won a month, but I will give you a discount of 20,000 won for your first month . When can you move in?”

Most of the rooms were booked . There didn’t seem to be a lot of vacancies . In fact, this was one reason why he selected this place .

“I’ll move in the day after tomorrow . I will pay the rest at that time . ”

Kang-jun put down a deposit of 50,000 won and signed a contract for Room 307 of the Eco Studio Apartments .

It wasn’t intended, but the Eco Studio Apartments was located in the middle of the Yugang and the Dafeng buildings . There was a distance of 50 meters between each building . Once Kang-jun successfully created a new base, it would be a very advantageous location to strategically surrounded the Yugang building .

‘I can’t let him know about this . ’

He didn’t know what would happen if Jung Kwang-hyeon found out . It was necessary to use a different method to block the mouths of the ghosts .

Kang-jun immediately returned to Room 406 . Hayun was waiting for him .

“Now what should we do? If it stays this way then Jung Kwang-hyeon will win . ”

“Don’t worry . I will make a new base . ”

“A new base?”

"It is just in case . Hayun, you will have to go there with me . Watch over me while I’m sleeping . ”

“Understood . ”

"The problem are the ghosts . It will be annoying if he discovers the other location . ”

Then Hayun spoke with coldly shining eyes .

"Don't worry . I will take care of him . ”

"You will? Who?”

"The person who took Seo-young! He is also a ghost . ”

“A ghost?”

"Yes . If that guy comes out of the Yugang building then I will catch him properly . ”

"Is he an opponent you can beat? If he is a senior ghost then you have to be careful . ”

Hayun gave Kang-jun a confident look .

"I have grasped his abilities to a certain extent through the other ghosts . I will win no matter the conditions . He is only an intermediate ghost in the world of Hwanmong . ”

An intermediate ghost . If so, he wouldn’t be a match for Hayun .

‘Is that so?’

Kang-jun smiled widely .

The intermediate ghost would know the size and scale of Jung Kwang-hyeon’s troops in Hwanmong .

"Catch him if possible . I want to see that person . ”

“Then will you buy me something delicious?”

Kang-jun laughed . Ghosts seemed to be full of gluttony . It didn’t matter how much they ate .

"I will buy you anything you want . ”

"Awesome . Hohoho!”

Hayun disappeared with a childlike smile .

It was nine in the evening .

Jung Kwang-hyeon entered the Yugang building . He rode on the elevator with a cheerful expression .

'Huhu, now it is over for him . He wasn’t my opponent from the beginning . ’

The owner of the Dafeng building was willing to sell for 2 . 8 billion won .

There was a one billion won loan on the building so a deposit of 1 . 4 billion was required .

Currently, the amount of cash he held was two billion won . Even if he didn’t have enough cash, a bank loan would solve the problem . So the owner had agreed to sign the contract tomorrow .

Things would progress from there .

-This is the 4th floor .

Meanwhile, the elevator door opened .

‘This! I pressed the button for the wrong floor . ’

He had pressed the button for the 4th floor instead of the 5th . He instantly tried to close the elevator doors when he saw a woman standing in front of him .

She was a slim woman in her 20s wearing a nurse’s outfit . She worked in the plastic surgery clinic .

The woman backed out of the elevator .

"Ah, this is going up . ”

Her voice was also cute . At that moment, a light flashed in Jung Kwang-hyeon’s eyes . He pressed the button to keep the elevator door open .

“Ah, why am I so dizzy?”

The nurse Choi Mi-young suddenly shivered and lost strength in her legs .

However, that wasn’t all . She was suddenly moved to a dark space .

The man she just saw in the elevator was standing in front of her . At the same time, grotesque monsters appeared around him!

“Aaack! W-where is this?"

Choi Mi-young screamed and fled, but she was immediately caught by the monsters . Her shoulders, arms and thighs were carefully bitten by the monsters .

"Ack! S-spare me! Please!”

Jung Kwang-hyeon came up to her and said .

“From now on, you are my slave . Do you understand?”

“······?”

Choi Mi-young couldn’t answer . However, she felt an eerie feeling from Jung Kwang-hyeon and unconsciously nodded .

“Yes . Please spare me . . . ”

“Huhuhuhu! I will spare you . However, you must die once . I hope you remember what happened today if you ever decide to betray me . ”

Jung Kwang-hyeon sent a signal to the orcs . The orcs ripped apart Choi Mi-young’s body, starting with her feet .

"Aaaagh!"

Thus, Choi Mi-young died .

However, she opened her eyes like it was a dream . She was standing in front of the elevator on the 4th floor of the Yugang building .

Jung Kwang-hyeon gave her a wicked smile from inside the elevator and beckoned .

"Come . ”

“Huh? What?"

Choi Mi-young’s eyes were full of tears . She instinctively shook her head .

Jung Kwang-hyeon just coldly laughed and said .

"It seems you should experience it once more . ”

Choi Mi-young was once again trapped in the dark space and killed by the terrible monsters . And once again, she was in front of the elevator .

Jung Kwang-hyeon called out .

"Come . ”

“Y-yes . . . ”

Choi Mi-young couldn't refuse . She was engulfed in fear .

-The door is closing . Going up .

Inside the elevator, Jung Kwang-hyeon whispered into Choi Mi-young’s ear .

“Who are you?”

Choi Mi-young flinched and replied .

“Your slave . . . ”

“Huhu, don’t forget it . You have voluntarily become my slave . ”

“Yes . ”

Choi Mi-young entered Jung Kwang-hyeon’s place on the 5th floor .

“Wait in bed after having a shower . ”

"Yes, Master-nim . "

Choi Mi-young couldn’t say anything else . She was paralyzed by fear .

Swaahh-

Jung Kwang-hyeon sat on the couch and stared in the direction of Choi Mi-young, who was having a shower, with sinister eyes .

‘Huhu, why didn’t I think of this sooner?’

He could turn all the women in this world into his slaves . He looked at the latest fashion magazines spread out on his table . The pages were filled with sexy models and celebrities .

‘Should I make all of them my slaves?’

At that moment, a man in a black hood appeared before him .

“Lord!”

"What is it Colt? Why did you show up when I didn’t even call you?”

Jung Kwang-hyeon said with an unpleasant expression . He didn’t want anyone else watching his private life . Even if that person was his subordinate .

Colt lay flat on the ground and said .

“I-I beg your forgiveness Lord . However, if black magic energy is abused in such a manner then your charisma might fall . ”

Jung Kwang-hyeon was startled by the words .

He had four charisma points . It was a fixed stat so it didn’t increase when he levelled up .

“Really?”

"Of course . Your charisma will fall after a few more uses . I was concerned and decided to warn you . It won’t be easy to get subordinates if your charisma falls . I also can’t be a subordinate of someone with less than four charisma . . . ”

Jung Kwang-hyeon waved his hand and interrupted Colt .

"Shut up! Did I ask you to speak so much?”

“I-I’m really sorry, Lord . ”

"It doesn’t matter if I enjoy it occasionally as a hobby . ”

"Yes, of course . Though you should be careful . . . ”

In the meantime, Choi Mi-young had exited the shower . Jung Kwang-hyeon turned towards her as he said to Colt .

“Stop . Go to your fellow guests and check what that guy is doing . ”

“Yes, Lord . ”

Colt bowed and left Jung Kwang-hyeon’s residence .

The expression inside the deep hood turned indifferent . He looked around the Yugang building for ghosts . He had to carry out the orders of his lord .

But strangely, he couldn’t see any inferior ghosts this time .

‘Where is everybody today?’

He finally found one inferior ghost in the alley between buildings .

‘Over there . ’

He immediately tried to grab the neck of the ghost, only to be startled .

There was another ghost present .

A female ghost wearing a white dress was sitting cross-legged .

‘Heok!’

Colt’s body trembled the moment he met her eyes .
