Chapter 44: Unexpected Encounter (2)

Unexpected individuals were loitering near the house.

Dad, look! Its Ryu Min.

Hmm? Ryu Min?

Observing the approaching duo, Ryu Min furrowed his brows.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

It was those relatives he didnt want to encounter again his unlikable relatives.

The ones who left him and his brother to live alone after the death of his parents.

Its been quite some time, Ryu Min. How have you been? His uncle asked with a tone of concern.

Why are you here, Uncle? Ryu Min responded, his voice filled with a chill.

Upon hearing this, the image of the disheveled older cousin next to Uncle crumbled.

Hey, you little brat! What kind of manners are those to use with our father? If its been a while, you should bow from the waist! the cousin retorted.

Why should I? Ryu Min countered.

What?

When Dad and Mom passed away, and our world fell apart, did your father ever stay by our side? Did he protect us as a guardian? Why should I bow to your father? Is it because of some favor I received? All he did was turn his back on me, treating me as if I didnt exist.

You you brat!

Do you remember, Uncle? You used to ask my dad for money all the time. But once he left, you didnt even utter a word. Dont you think thats too much?

Silence enveloped them as Ryu Mins words struck them like a lethal blow.

Their expressions twisted in confusion.

Why do you look like that? Did I say something wrong?

You you little brat! And why are you speaking informally to your older brother? the cousin growled.

Brother? When did I have such an idiot brother, Ryu Min scoffed.

What? You you little brat!

Stop it, both of you! Uncle intervened.

In that moment, Ryu Min turned his gaze inward, questioning himself.

Damn it. I let my emotions get the best of me without realizing it.

Was it because he was hurt by his uncle so much?

Or was it because he believed this might be their final encounter?

I got too carried away. Thats not like me.

Ryu Min recognized his overexcitement and quickly suppressed it.

Clearing his throat, Uncle spoke with a refined tone.

Alright. I admit that I was wrong. We didnt come here to fight with you; we came because of this.

A rustling sound accompanied Uncle as he took out a document from his bag.

Sign this to give your consent.

What on earth is this?

You dont need to know, you punk. Just do as youre told!

Despite the older cousins relentless barking from the side, Ryu Min paid him no attention.

Thunk.

After swiftly snatching the document, Ryu Min carefully examined its contents.

An insurance claim agreement?

Lifting his gaze, Ryu Min locked eyes with his uncle.

Hmm, Ryu Min. Why are you doing this? Why are you making things complicated with matters that are long gone?

Is it because you lack money? Were you dissatisfied because I didnt repay your fathers debt?

Fine. Your father may not be in this world anymore, but let me compensate you at least a little. How much would satisfy you? Take some time to think about it

Thats when it happened.

Vroom- Vroom!

The thunderous engine noise made all three of them turn their heads.

What they beheld was a supercar that seemed entirely out of place in the humble neighborhood.

That, thats it! The Lamborghini Aventador model, right?

As the dream car he had searched for countless times materialized before him, the cousins voice was laced with nostalgia.

Hah, I envy whoever owns it!

Hes right in front of you.

Ryu Min blurted out, causing the cousin to furrow his brows.

What did you say? You f*cker.

If you want to be treated well and live a good life, stop cursing so much.

Ryu Min retorted, then looked at his uncle.

The same goes for you, Uncle. Lead a good life. Dont be driven solely by money. Take good care of your childrens education as well. Someday, youll receive the same blow from your own children.

Fine, I understand. I was wrong. So lets go together to the insurance company and give our consent

Ah, forget it. I cant bear to listen anymore.

Where are you going? I havent finished talking yet!

The uncle blinked his eyes as he spoke, but Ryu Min was engaged in a conversation with the driver who had stepped out of the supercar.

Whats going on? Do you know each other? Or are you friends?

However, the driver bowed 90 degrees to Ryu Min, a gesture that indicated they werent acquaintances or friends.

He even handed over the car keys and vanished into thin air.

Whats this? C-Could it be?

Ryu Min instinctively took a seat behind the wheel.

Observing from a distance, the cousins pupils shook back and forth.

The uncle, seemingly less aware of the situation, wore a bewildered expression.

Vroom-

Ryu Min pulled up in the Lamborghini in front of the two.

Vrooom-

Lowering the car window, Ryu Min left them with one last piece of advice.

Live a life where you can afford to buy this and live it well. Got it?

With those words, it all came to an end.

Vroooom!!!

The Lamborghini roared to life, tearing away from the neighborhood at lightning speed.
