191 – 37. How can a person owe 2,700 trillion?
For Liu Yan, the dagger was like another her.
It was with a dagger that she first stabbed her debt collector, and it was with a dagger that she killed a corrupt police officer who tried to make her, who had just entered the business world, become her economic instigator. She also tortured her political opponent, who had been trying to stop Liu to death while campaigning for public opinion, to his downfall. What was used was a dagger.
It wasn’t intentional, but somehow the dagger became a symbol of a “Big man” In the world of politics and business.
It was around that time that I first used the artifact .
Since her status is already a rock, she uses a dagger artifact for non-lethal purposes and as a means to let the public know that her temper has died.
In reality, her inner feelings were not dead at all, but on the contrary, they were becoming more poisonous and rotting, but that was because no matter how wealthy she was, she could not completely ignore public opinion.
Especially since the condition for admission to Romance Academy, a place where students of the same age but who do not know about her blood, gather, was to use .
It was the hypocrisy of her academy to admit her through her denial because of her massive donations. No one would have known how much Liu laughed when he heard her say that.
So, I always carried a dagger with me during events at the academy, during exams, and even when I went out.
And what I am holding now.
Likewise, it was a dagger.
“……………….”
Liu whispers to Namgoong Min, who was momentarily speechless after seeing the dagger in her hand.
“I’ll say it again. Just give up. Paying off that damn debt and going back to the world I came from are everything. Just give up and live.”
“……Mr. Liu.”
“It may sound rude, but I don’t care about your feelings or thoughts. I just want you by my side. I’m being forceful because I don’t want you to leave.”
Unreasonable.
Literally, it is unreasonable.
In the end, the choice lies with Namgoong Min. She had no intention of swinging the dagger in her hand.
Honestly, even now, as I stand in front of Namgoong Min holding a dagger……
‘If you tremble…… No.’
I think it overlaps with the time when Namgoong Min was kidnapped and bleeding to death by Wang Fei, that f*cking b*tch.
Liu held on, his arms starting to tremble like crazy and his breathing becoming rough.
By playing such a strong character, I wanted to get a definite answer even if I was hated by him.
You can apologize later. You can ask for forgiveness later.
For now, here and now.
Please nod your head.
“……………….”
“Answer me right here…”
Holding a dagger that you won’t even swing.
With an expression on his face as if he were holding back from swearing that he wasn’t going to say.
He portrays anger that is nothing compared to his love for Namgoong Min.
Although she was not an But a
Rich woman, Liu was confident.
After all, she was Namgoong Min’s first friend and the first person he approached. This is Liu Yan.
We have been close friends until now, and we have spent a year together.
So.
The fact that Namgoong Min is worried like that…… Liu didn’t understand.
“……………….”
“Why on earth are you doing that? Are you doing it because of that little sister, that girl called her younger sister?”
“……The index is…….”
“You can just bring him to this world too! Why do you have to go over it! Why do you have to leave!!”
Chaeng!
It was a dagger that was not meant to be wielded.
It was possible to select.
“Just answer! I understand, I will do it! Even if it’s a damn lie or a damn hypocrisy, just answer!”
“……You can’t lie…”
“f*ck! I know you’re that kind of bastard, I know very well that you’re a bigot, responsible, thoughtful, and sincere about such topics!!”
How could I forget?
In the first semester of Romance Academy, when Namgoong Min approached her, Liu interrogated him.
From Noble mtl dot com
Why are you trying to get closer? Who is buying it for you? What are your intentions?
At that time, Liu’s suspicions were getting worse and he was getting tired, so he reacted even more harshly. He remembers both the words he said to Namgoong Min and the venomous expression on his face.
And Namgoong Min.
──Mr. Liu, I want to get to know you.
To be honest, I had a hard time with it.
I was discouraged at the time, but when I think about it now, it wasn’t normal courage.
You want to show your sincerity to someone who always responds sharply?
Although it may sound romantic, it is a problematic method in actual communication.
Rather, it may have been a method that worked because Liu was tired of people trying to communicate normally, trying to make the other person feel better.
…… This is the first memory that came to mind in the days when I started to organize and record everything about Namgoong Min in documents.
It was still living and breathing warmly inside Rio.
That’s why there’s no way you wouldn’t know.
Even in the face of a debt of 2,700 trillion, which, according to common sense, cannot be repaid no matter what one does.
Namgoong Min is a foolish person who does not give up as if there is no tomorrow and tries to work from early in the morning.
Namgoong Min is a hard worker who always does his best.
Trying to take responsibility and repay what you borrow…… This is Namgoong Min.
“I fell in love with you when I saw that, so of course you know that well.”
“……….”
“I know very well…Bend just this once. Please.”
And that’s why.
Liu knew the answer as soon as he finished speaking.
I haven’t heard it yet.
Namgoong Min’s answer seemed to be heard exactly as it was.
‘I’m sorry…… Called.’
“I’m sorry, Mr. Liu.”
“……As expected, that’s right.”
“I can’t live while ignoring my debt. I told you about my past. Ultimately, the reason my parents depended on this cult was because of money, so I don’t want to run away from that problem.”
“…I will never urge you to repay.”
“It’s a matter of my heart. I’m really… Sorry.”
Namgoong Min lowered her head with a serious expression, took one look at the dagger in Liu’s hand, and closed her eyes tightly.
Does it matter if I get stabbed? Does this mean that you have already made up your mind?
It was meaningless anyway. Because there is no way Liu would stab Namgoong Min.
So instead of swinging his dagger, Liu opened his mouth.
“Are you really trying to go back? To that original world? To your little sister’s arms?”
“……I don’t know if I will really go back. But I don’t know what will happen after I meet Jisoo.”
“You mean you can’t go back?”
“…You can go back.”
“……Ha, hahahaha. Until the end…You are telling me the truth…To the end.”
At this point, I felt like my head was cooling down. I looked at Namgoong Min, who lowered his head with a somewhat calmer mind.
Looking at it objectively, there are many ways for Liu to hold onto Namgoong Min.
If you lift a finger, you can order someone to forcibly imprison you.
You can also use an artifact to make someone mentally dependent on you.
If you use force to break all of his limbs, he won’t be able to move.
It is also easy to trap Namgoong Min in a fake village where construction was halted after realizing his feelings for him.
But all of those methods are blocked by just one obstacle: love.
In front of Namgoong Min, Liu was not a rich man but just a woman.
Liu.
“……Ugh, hey.”
“……Mr. Liu?”
“Why…Why are you doing this…You bad guy…I’m asking you this, and you’re saying this…Can’t you just do it?”
No way.
I couldn’t hold back my tears.
To be exact, I had no intention of enduring it.
If you peel away the outer layers of the wealthy and the suspicious, all that remains is Liu Yan.
Namgoong Min and his already dead family members were the only ones who showed their weak side.
Liu was able to cry because it was in front of Namgoong Min.
Chaengkang!
“I was wrong…There is no need for such a dagger…I won’t even swing it at you…”
“Li, Mr. Liu!?”
“I’m just asking you… Please, please don’t leave… I’m begging you… Please…!”
Namgoong Min hurriedly supports and hugs Liu, who throws away the dagger in tears.
While being held in his trusty arms, Rio shed tears without stopping.
It seems like he’s trying to vent all his sorrow.
“Well, I…!!”
“Stop teasing your little sister!! She’s going to meet another guy and leave you anyway! Even if you go back because of her, you’ll end up alone!!”
“Well, that is.”
“Here I am! There’s a b*tch who confessed that she was going to live with you for the rest of her life, even though it was embarrassing! I know, I’m an annoying b*tch. I’m so needlessly suspicious that I’m pressuring you and obsessing over you! Everything is fine. “I know!”
“……….”
“But what can I do that I still like you? I like you… But when my confession was rejected, for the first time I really wanted to commit suicide… But I was still by your side…”
“……Mr. Liu.”
“So don’t go…Let’s live with me forever…”
It was a childish complaint. Crying recklessly, throwing tantrums recklessly.
But that was the only way left for Rio.
If he doesn’t leave by crying in front of Namgoong Min or throwing a tantrum.
Liu could do something like this again and again.
On the outside, I cry in sorrow, but on the inside, I think calmly about the current situation.
That was a contradiction created while surviving alone in the business world at a young age.
At the same time, it was consistent with the fact that Rio was cornered.
So, everything I said while crying was sincere.
No one can see or hear.
The truth that can only be revealed to Namgoong Min.
“……Calm down, Mr. Liu. Now is not the time to go back.”
“……Sniff, ugh….”
“There’s still the principal, the emperor, and me left… The promise with the hero, Rain’s work, and the conversation we need to have with Mr. Liu… It’s not much, but there’s still time left.”
“That’s…?”
“I can’t give you a definite answer here, but… I’m also worried. Aside from Jisoo, I don’t have any lingering regrets about the other world. Still, the thing that keeps coming to mind may be homesickness, or something else.”
“……………….”
“Maybe it’s an escape from reality. But I don’t want to ignore this feeling. But…If there really isn’t any lingering regrets about the other world.”
“……….”
“At that time, of course I will have to stay in this world and meet Mr. Liu. So…”
Sureuk.
Nam Goong Min pushed Liu out of his arms for a moment as he stopped crying.
Instead of her usual fortune-telling smile, she faced her with a sincere smile.
“…At that time, I will also accept Mr. Liu’s confession.”
“……Huh?”
“I like someone who is pretty and rich like Mr. Liu, but there’s no such thing as a man who wouldn’t like me.”
…… Moment.
Liu, whose mind was paralyzed by Namgoong Min’s answer, hesitated for a moment.
Did you accept my confession? Are you getting married? Pretty? Do you have a lot of money? I like you? Really?
I had planned to confess again and get married someday, but I never thought it would be here.
Liu was dazed for a moment by the sudden words.
“Hey, it’s a promise. It’s a promise? Is it true? You won’t doubt me? I’ll endure the disease of suspicion??”
“Of course.”
“Ha, hahahaha. hahahahaha! Hey, then today is our first day, right? Are you really my boyfriend now?”
“After confirming the lingering feelings of the world beyond—”
“No, anyway! You accepted my confession, right? Isn’t that right?”
“That’s right──”
“Then that’s it! It’s the 1st anniversary starting today! I’ll blank out everything I lent you! I didn’t even put it on paper anyway, so there was no IOU from the beginning!”
“Uh, yes?”
“Oh, what should we do now if we’re lovers? Should we just walk hand in hand? Or wouldn’t it be a bad idea to rent a movie theater and watch it together! No, should we just go to the hotel first?”
Giggles.
Liu, who stopped crying in an instant, literally jumped for joy. He suddenly jabbed in the air, laughed heartily, and suddenly lunged and retreated, expressing his joy without hiding anything.
‘1 Day from today…… !’
What makes me happier than anything is that the evil b*tch and the violent princess are faster than the unlucky saints. Even if other b*tches cling to this, Rio will always be number one.
After completing all the calculations, Rio goes wild with an unexpected harvest.
And then.
“I feel good! In addition, I will return your property as well!”
“Yes?”
“I was actually pretending that I lost it! If it’s your 100 billion won, it’s quietly in my safe… Huh…?”
“……Yes?”
Ah.
…… Ah.
