Choi Min-hyeok’s purpose was to make the US president his subordinate.
This is because not only can the US attack on the Orichalcon Grassland be stopped, but the US government will be at its disposal whenever necessary.
“[no! It can’t be!]”
Upon Choi Min-hyeok’s self-introduction, saying that he had come from Atlantis, President Gordon shook his head violently and strongly denied it.
“[You must be a spy from China!]”
He was still a Chinese taryeong.
However, he only said that with his mouth, and his mind was already on the verge of collapse.
His face was flushed and he was breaking out in a cold sweat.
“I am from Atlantis. How are you going to believe me?”
Minhyuk Choi stretched out his hand toward President Gordon.
fluffy-
Then the president’s body rose into the air.
It was using ＜kinesis＞.
“[uh?!]”
After experiencing ‘levitation’, President Gordon’s eyes widened as if they were about to pop out.
Then, he showed a very Christian-like reaction.
“[Yes, you bastard Satan! don’t fool me! Lord! Please do not lead me into temptation!]”
From noble mtl dot com
Then he began to recite prayers.
But this was the president’s trick.
He pretended to pray with his mouth and held something out of his pocket with his hand.
It was a pager calling for a bodyguard.
click-
I pressed the pager.
clack clack-
However, no one came running even after pressing the button.
It was because Choi Min-hyeok’s magic barrier was blocking all radio waves, so the pager couldn’t function properly.
clack clack-
But President Gordon did not stop.
Because that was the only hope left for him.
Choi Minhyuk frowned and shouted at him.
“stop! Because it is noisy.”
hiss-
The pager in the president’s hand flew into Choi Min-hyeok’s hand, driven by ＜Psychokinesis＞.
‘smash.’
self-
The pager turned to dust and scattered.
Upon seeing this, President Gordon’s mouth fell open.
Choi Minhyuk immediately spread his arms to the left and right.
Shh shh-
Then, with Choi Min-hyeok at the center, three people to the left and three to the right increased.
All of them were wearing Orihalcon armor that glowed in rainbow colors.
They are trying to strike a final blow with a performance using golems.
“[Oh my god…]”
As the number of knights in armor increased to seven, the president’s eyes widened.
hiss-
The golems drew their greatswords in unison with a sharp movement and aimed at the president’s neck.
Then, as if resigned, he lowered his head.
“[all right···.]”
“You know what?”
“[I know you’re from Atlantis.]”
“Really? Aren’t you lying just to get away with it?”
“[No lie! Before the Lord… No, as the President of the United States, I swear! I’m sure!]”
Minhyuk Choi laughed.
‘My name is Guine.’
If there was no change in President Gordon’s behavior until the end, he was going to put him in the inventory and ＜delete＞ it.
If you’re that kind of a clogged human being, it’s better to quickly get rid of it and make the next US president your servant.
“How long do you have left in your tenure?”
“[One year and five months left!]”
“From now on, listen carefully to what I have to say! If you do as I say, I’ll let you retire safely.”
“[All right···.]”
“If I do it right to my liking, it might even give me a chance to win re-election.”
The term of office of the President of the United States is four years, and he may be re-elected up to one time.
President Gordon’s expression widened at the sound of ‘re-election’.
“[Me, really?]”
Choi Minhyuk smiled and opened his mouth.
“For now, bury everything that happened in Bermuda!”
***
After seeing the Statue of Liberty, we moved to Times Square.
After watching a street performance there for a while, we moved back to Central Park.
Then I sat on a bench by the lake and watched the mallards playing on the water.
‘I like New York.’
I am now in New York, the world’s trendiest city.
While staying here, he was monitoring President Gordon using ＜Eyes and Ears＞.
It was to immediately run to punish them if they failed to handle the work properly or tried to do the wrong thing.
Since it will take too long to get back to the US from Korea, we will only wait in the US until President Gordon has made sure things are done in the Bermuda waters.
If possible, I would rather live in New York than Washington DC.
“[hey···.]”
Someone came up to the bench and talked to me.
It was a white woman who appeared to be in her 30s.
“[Do you have anything to eat?]”
He was homeless begging for food.
After spending a few days in New York, I realized that there are so many homeless people.
There are many homeless people in Seoul, but there seemed to be a lot more here.
“no.”
I showed her an empty hand.
You have a mountain of food in your inventory, but nothing to give to the homeless.
She nodded and went elsewhere.
The homeless here were not very persistent when begging.
And most of them asked for food, but not many people asked for money.
At that point, I could feel the ‘sincerity of begging’.
In Korea, most of the beggars ask for money when they beg, so there is no way to know if they are really hungry or if there is a beggar organization behind them.
“[Hey, do you have anything to eat or drink?]”
Another homeless man came up and asked.
This time it was a mature man.
I came to the park, and it seems that there are more people asking for food than pigeons asking for food.
“no.”
I shook my head.
Then he put on a sad expression and went elsewhere.
I got up from the bench.
‘Let’s go home.’
.
.
.
There was ‘my house’ between Central Park and the Hudson River.
I don’t know what the criterion of a true ‘New Yorker’ is, but if owning your own house is the criterion, then I certainly met the conditions.
‘I’m a person with a penthouse in New York!’
The flight school the twins attended was in New York.
So they needed a place to stay, but the rent here was no joke.
So I just bought a house.
Living in Yiwang, I found a very nice house.
It was a 1,000㎡ (approximately 300 pyeong) apartment and was a penthouse in a new building in the center of Manhattan.
There were more than 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms each.
I bought it for 100 million dollars in the name of a corporation in Nevis.
It was an amount well over 100 billion won in Korean currency.
With $2 billion now in corporate accounts in Nevis, $100 million was no big deal.
‘It’s a nice view!’
The front veranda overlooked Central Park at a glance, and the rear terrace overlooked the Hudson River.
daughter-
I enjoyed the view of New York with a glass of whiskey on the rocks.
It was then.
“president! We are here!”
The golems returned home after shopping.
The manager, Kim Seo-yeon, the twins, and the trio of gold refiners, 7 golems were enjoying sightseeing in New York together.
The golems, who were originally beautiful, were wearing stylish clothes, so everyone was dazzled.
I checked the current time.
It was time for dinner.
“let’s go eat.”
.
.
.
We ate at a restaurant and returned home.
There are many famous restaurants in New York, but there were places where you had to make reservations months in advance to get a seat.
The restaurant I went to was also a restaurant where I had to make a reservation and wait at least half a year.
In fact, I wasn’t the type to wait months for a meal.
If Seoyeon Kim hadn’t hacked the restaurant’s reservation list, she would never have been there in her entire life.
‘The taste was good.’
I took a limousine round trip from the house to the restaurant.
There were several services that came with the purchase of the penthouse, and a top-of-the-line limousine with a driver was available at any time, limited to New York City only, free of charge.
‘Should I see if Gordon is doing well?’
I sat down on the sofa and closed my eyes.
It is to monitor President Gordon with ＜eyes and ears＞.
As I concentrated, the audio-visual information I saw and heard with his eyes and ears came into my head.
malevolent malevolent-
At the White House, meetings between the president and top officials continued until late at night.
While talking about various issues, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency mentioned the Bermuda Waters.
“[Are you really going to cover it up without further investigation?]”
Then President Gordon drew a bloodstain around his neck and scolded the CIA chief.
“[Let’s not scrape and make blisters! And I mean! Now is not the time for us to dig up legends like that! You have to catch the price! Everyone will die like this!]”
Then he shouted at the head of the central bank of the United States.
“[Raise the base rate a bit!]”
The president was obsessively covering the Bermuda waters.
At this rate, I don’t have to stay in the US anymore.
I said to the golems.
“Let’s go back to Korea!”
**
From India to the US mainland via the Bermuda Sea,
After a long journey, I finally returned to Korea.
As soon as I arrived in Korea, I quickly took care of things related to the gold and silver room.
‘Let’s open the 2nd store!’
As the store’s awareness increased day by day, sales were rising rapidly.
In this situation, it was not possible to operate only one store forever.
‘I have to row when the water comes in.’
We will increase the number of direct stores.
The ultimate goal is to open stores in world-class cities such as New York or Paris, but before that, we will increase the number of stores in Korea and accumulate experience in managing multiple stores.
The 2nd Alchemy store will be opened in Apgujeong-dong, which is close to the main store here.
I thought about opening it in Busan, the second largest city in Korea, but due to the nature of the store, it seemed better to open another one in Gangnam, where rich villages are concentrated.
The store had already signed a real estate lease contract and was undergoing interior construction.
He also made 6 additional golems.
Like the golems at the main store, the newly born golems will also be divided into groups of three and alternate between burial and gold offerings.
Factory 3, located underground in the Andes Mountains, also needed refinement of the ‘Golden Condor’.
‘I have to increase my strength.’
As the number of stores increases, the number of golems will also increase.
In order to prepare for the battle with the Demon King, all golems except for the manager will be required to learn swordsmanship.
Golems become my staff and army.
And in order to train and maintain a large-scale ‘golem unit’, a large amount of elixir was absolutely necessary.
Elixir is military funds.
‘Then shall we go again to earn military funds?’
The area where another elixir extraction facility was expected to be located was Antarctica.
Prior to the Antarctic expedition, Kim Seo-yeon briefed on the anomaly there.
“A while ago, the Antarctic ice sheet separated again!”
A few years ago, Antarctica’s ice sheet split and separated, and the size was 4,320 km2, which was much more than twice the size of Jeju Island.
At first, scientists looked to global warming as the cause of the ice sheet splitting.
“Experts ran simulations on supercomputers and concluded that the cracks in the ice sheet had nothing to do with climate change.”
Then, a month ago, a much larger crack occurred than before.
“The cause of the ice sheet cracking may be the elixir extraction facility!”
It may be that the cracks in the ice sheet occurred while consuming more than the saturation amount of elixir.
Unlike the Arctic, which is made entirely of glaciers, the Antarctic had continents beneath the ice.
So, there might be an elixir extraction facility in the ground.
The problem is that the ice is so thick that there is no way to see underneath it.
The average thickness of the ice covering Antarctica is 2,000 m, reaching 4,900 m at its thickest point.
“If there really is an elixir extraction facility underground in Antarctica, there must be an altar somewhere.”
At my words, Seoyeon Kim nodded.
“yes! I have found a place where the altar might be!”
