Chapter 206: Worse Than Strangers (1)
Ma Kyung-rok has two younger brothers.
His second brother, Ma Kyung-sang, is one year younger.
His third brother, Ma Kyung-soo, is two years younger.
Although they fought often when they were young, they never had serious conflicts.
The reason their relationship became estranged as adults was none other than money.
As they grew older, they realized the value of money and understood that they were more than just born with silver spoons in their mouths—they had diamond spoons.
They also knew that they would inherit a vast fortune once their father passed away.
Naturally, they began to protect their own interests, and the problem was the eldest, Ma Kyung-rok.
Typically, the position of successor is held by the eldest son.
The second and third sons were likely to live their entire lives under his shadow.
Is it because they feared ending up in that situation?
The brothers joined forces and began protesting to their father, claiming it was unfair.
They argued that it wasn’t reasonable for Ma Kyung-rok, who had no abilities, to monopolize everything and that they were much more suitable to run the company.
Acknowledging that they had a point, Ma Dae-cheol declared that he would abandon the usual custom and choose the successor based on ability.
This was why Ma Kyung-rok had no choice but to have a bad relationship with his brothers.
“What are you guys doing here?”
Ma Kyung-rok’s cold gaze was met with equally sharp looks from Ma Kyung-sang and Ma Kyung-soo.
“What do you think we’re here for? To congratulate you.”
“Can’t your younger brothers even congratulate you?”
“I don’t want your congratulations. Leave.”Updated chapters at novelhall.come on, do you think we came here because we wanted to?”
“Father, no, the chairman, asked us to come along.”
Chairman Ma Dae-cheol gave his two sons a piercing look.
“Enough, all of you. Do you really have to fight after coming all the way here?”
“......”
“I called you to see your brother’s achievements and to reconcile, yet here you are glaring at each other as if you want to kill.”
“That’s right, guys. Isn’t it time to acknowledge your brother?”
In truth, Ma Dae-cheol had no intention of reconciling his sons.
He didn’t expect it either.
He just wanted to show them their elder brother’s achievements and stimulate them to grow.
That was the real reason he brought his two sons here.
‘Now that they’ve been stimulated enough, Kyung-sang and Kyung-soo will strive harder to catch up with their brother.’
But Ma Dae-cheol didn’t know.
Bringing the brothers here was like adding fuel to the fire.
“By the way, brother, isn’t it time you tell us?”
“Tell you what?”
“Your nickname.”
At Ma Kyung-sang’s question, Ma Kyung-rok fell silent.
The three brothers were all players in their twenties.
They knew well what it meant to reveal their nickname.
‘These bastards, are they trying to track me?’
Revealing a nickname was like showing one’s face behind a mask.
It provided an excuse to track someone.
In the other world where you could stab someone in the back and leave the body behind without being punished.
‘What do they want to do after learning my nickname? Kill me?’
There was no other reason to ask for his nickname.
That’s why he hadn’t revealed it until now.
“What are you going to do with my nickname?”
“Just curious.”
“What’s your nickname then?”
“Come on, don’t you know about respecting your elders? You should tell us first.”
“Black Scythe.”
