Chapter 90: Unexpected Meeting (1)

Chapter 90: Unexpected Meeting (1)

Russell heard a detailed story from Ryumin.

Wow, did you really rake in that much from the lottery?

Yes, I managed to amass quite a fortune, rivaling even Powerball.

And what came next? How did you employ that wealth?

Though it seemed like he was boasting, Russells persistent questioning left Ryu Min with no choice but to reveal the whole story.

He went on to explain how he converted his winnings into cryptocurrency, acquiring a 51% stake in the company and seizing control of its operations.

Oh, so youre essentially the companys major shareholder?

Yes, indeed. The company still has significant growth potential. Weve not only changed the companys name this time but also completely revamped our business model, gearing up for ambitious endeavors.

Its hard not to believe that a prophet wouldnt make billions in such a short span. Ive made a truly wise investment. Haha By the way, isnt this also the prophets money?

Ryu Min chuckled compassionately, observing Russells embarrassed expression as he scratched his head.

Dont feel burdened; feel free to use it.

No, I hope you continue to feel a bit of pressure like this. That way, well become more dependable allies in the future.

Ryu Min, mumbling thoughts contrary to his appearance, led Russell into his office.

Let me explain the nature of this business once were inside.

Do we really need an explanation? If the prophet went all in, its bound to be a colossal success.

Nevertheless, youve invested a substantial sum, so its crucial that you understand the nature of the company. Even Russell might have some doubts if he hears about it. Its a business that would pique the interest of anyone involved in gaming.

With a sly smile, Ryu Min swung open the office door, revealing a group of employees in their thirties scattered about.

They were all individuals who had previously worked at Cheonma Consulting.

Follow me.

Ryu Min disregarded the inquisitive looks of the employees and led the way to the CEOs office.

Right in front of the CEOs office, An Sang-cheol stood like a sentinel.

Why is he blocking the door like that? Could a client be inside?

Ryu Min was perplexed, and just then, An Sang-cheol spoke with a surprised expression.

Chairman Ryu Min? What brings you here

I apologize for the unannounced visit. I wanted to introduce a foreign investor to the company.

Ah.

An Sang-cheols gaze flicked towards Russell, suspecting that he might be a player due to his youthful appearance.

Is the CEO in?

Yes, he is, but theres a client in there at the moment

A client?

Even though he raised his head as if to inquire further, An Sang-cheol remained rooted to the spot without making any move.

It seemed that Ma Kyung-rok had perhaps instructed not to admit anyone.

Even so, I, the prophet, giving you this much attention, and you decide to ignore me.

He had always been subconsciously prepared for the possibility of death at any moment.

In an attempt to break the awkward silence, Ma Kyung-rok explained, You are, of course, the highest executive in our company, and you can visit anytime you like. Typically, we schedule appointments, but today you arrived unannounced, hence my mention of it.

Is that so? Ryu Min responded with a subtle smile.

Nice excuses. Well, youre still within my grasp.

Ryu Mins gaze shifted to the side, where a foreign woman with blonde hair stood gracefully.

Finally, we meet. The one and only Priest in the world.

Her name was Christine Craig, and she was not just any Priest; she had a remarkable record of surviving up to Round 15.

Moreover, Ryu Min had her in mind as one of the people he would take to Round 20.

Just like Buffers, Priests are indispensable support occupations.

Priest skills were all valuable, without exception. Especially the Level 60 skill, [Resurrection], was a game-changer, allowing her to revive the dead.

Of course, there are limitations, as it can only revive players who have died within the last 10 minutes.

Even so, gaining an extra life was a significant advantage.

I didnt anticipate meeting her at this juncture.

Originally, he had planned to approach her cautiously using Ma Kyung-rok, but their meeting had occurred earlier than expected.

Well, Ive never visited the company at this stage before.

If Russell hadnt come looking for him, he wouldnt have considered visiting the company.

He trusted that Ma Kyung-rok would handle the business preparations effectively.

Although the future had changed, this meeting was inevitable.

The plan had merely been accelerated slightly.

Whatever happens, I need to make Christine an ally.

Ryu Min looked at Christine and inquired to Ma Kyung-rok, By the way, who is she?

Oh This is my friend, Christine Craig.

Friend? Thats not even remotely accurate.

Ryu Min knew very well that Christine was more than just a foreign friend.

Shes his fiance, sought for a green card.

While Korean conglomerates used to search for marriage partners for strategic reasons within the country, times have changed.

These days, they sometimes look for potential partners abroad.

In the era of globalization, even conglomerate leaders were now casting their eyes internationally.

Of course, they werent considering individuals from ordinary households.

Naturally, Christines family is well-off.

She was the daughter of a pastor who led the largest church in the United States, with a congregation of 100,000.

As a fiance, she was more than suitable.

He told me not to hide anything from him, but I suppose hell hide the fact that shes his fiance.
