Chapter 504: Juyoung Hong (31) |
'She's like a dragon with a cintamani in her mouth. But no matter how smart she is, she is still a woman in the end. What if I make her pregnant? If they don't approve my marriage to her, I'll have her give birth to a second, or third baby.'
Kyongyoung was dreaming about a rosy future when he would have been the chairman of the Mirae Group after getting married to her. He even thought of changing the name of the Mirae Group to the Lee Group in such a situation.
If his grandfather, the king of the underground economy, helped him, he was convinced that he could make the top business leader Mirae Group widen the gap between Myongjin, Daesung and Kusan further.
"Alright. Bora is not stupid. She is nice for me to play with. But how come that stupid bastard has won over her heart?'
First of all, the huge obstacle for him was that he was not in the same grade as Juyoung and Bora. Even though he was born to a rich family, he was nothing compared to her status as the heir of the Mirae Group chairman's family.
His grandfather had more cash than any big business conglomerate, but the Mirae Group was an exception.
In any case, he had no choice but to wait for the right chance to hit on her.
But Juyoung appeared all of a sudden and began to mingle with her regularly.
No wonder Kyongyoung hated him because he used to think Juyoung was far inferior to him, but he was now swaggering around like a hero.
Kyongyoung was getting more and more furious when this asshole, who he thought was inferior to him, became friendly with Bora, who he had in mind as his future bride.
In the end, his growing anger came to surface gradually.
At first, Kyongyoung wondered if he was making a mistake, for Myongjin was as powerful as Mirae. Myongjin's status in the Korean business world became much stronger than before after the successful oil deal with ExxonMobil and Chevron.
But even though Juyoung must have heard lots of rumors about his discontent, he didn't take any action. So Kyongyoung moved more aggressively because that was the only way for him to calm down his boiling anger.
But he didn't know that his hostile action against Juyoung would put him in terrible jeopardy.

"Hmm…"
Of course, I knew who spat on the floor. Even though that guy spat a bit behind me, I was not stupid enough not to notice it. But I ignored him.
As a matter of fact, this was too trifling for me to respond to, compared to the attention I had received when I actualized my reality in Revival Legend. But it seemed that I was too indifferent to this guy because he began to cross the line.
"Hey, Juyoung Lee, you stupid bastard! Can't you do it?"
"Um… I'm sorry."
"Shit, your name really sucks!"
I heard him swearing at me from behind. Of course, he didn't refer to me because my name was Juyoung Hong.
But obviously, he teased me by changing my last name when he called me. Today he called me Juyoung Lee, yesterday he called me Juyoung Kim, and two days ago he called me Juyoung Park. Even though 'Juyoung' was common, he deliberately called it loudly as if he wanted me to hear it.
Even though my name was common, I was not sure if he really used it to refer to me.
So I turned and moved backwards.
Then I stopped in front of this guy who swore at the man named Juyoung.
"What the heck?"
He seemed a bit embarrassed because he didn't expect I would approach him.
But I ignored him, and opened my mouth.
"You kept shouting at me from behind. Didn't you call me? You kept shouting 'Juyoung,' right?"
"Hey, I'm a senior, man."
"So what? You want me to treat you as a senior now?"
"Well, even if Myongjin is doing great these days, you can't do this to me."
"Who the hell are you?"
"You don't know me?"
"Should I know a loudmouth like you?"
He seemed very much upset that I didn't recognize him. But I really could not recall his name, and he was not the type of guy that I needed to remember. No matter who he was, I didn't know about him, and right now it is he who has to remember me.
Anyway, he got upset at my response.
"Juyoung, bastard! It seems like you're swaggering a lot these days because your father's company Myongjin is doing so well. Do you think Myongjin can prosper forever? At the end of the day..."
Slap!
I relaxed my hand, then slapped him on the face because I had put up with him too much.
To be honest, there was really nothing I endured because I did not care at all even if others showed envy or jealousy about me behind my back.
What about my actions now? Did I slap him on the face because I was angry?
Nope. I was not angry. Honestly, he was a pain in the neck.
Comparing him to a pet, it was like teaching a dog to behave and not do it again after it bit my hand hard. Nothing more or less.
But he resisted violently.
"Die! You son of a bitch!"
Obviously, he had a nasty personality because he charged at me, full of anger in his eyes, when slapped. In the past, I would have let him punch me.
Compared to all the weapons flying at me, and the magic attacks that I suffered in the past, his punch was so gentle an attack. And his punch was so slow.
So I gently avoided his punch, then slapped him again.
At the same time, I added a little more force to my hand, and slapped him again, which made him collapse to the ground right away
Watching him fall down, I turned, and moved backwards because I didn't have to take care of him.
And I found out who he was when I met my classmates in the classroom.
"His name is Kyongyoung Lee?"
"Yeah, His family has a lot of influence not only on the private loan market but also on the underground economy."
"What the heck? He's a do-badder, after all!"
"Well, broadly speaking, you're right. But even most business conglomerates seem to be submissive to his family. Of course, Myongjin isn't one of them…"
"Thanks for letting me know. I didn't know that."
"You're welcome."
After finding out his name, I stopped thinking about him hard anymore because he was not worth it. But it seemed that others didn't think like me.
Wherever I moved around in school, they met in twos and threes, whispering about my encounter with Kyongyoung.
Bora said, "There are bad rumors about him. Of course, he can't do anything to you. These days, Myongjin's prestige and power are bigger than Mirae."
"Don't worry. I would not have picked a fight with him if I had not been confident of beating him once and for all."
Of course, I didn't teach him a lesson just because he picked a fight with me by calling me 'Juyoung Lee' 'Juyoung Kim' and 'Juyoung Park.'
I already noticed that whenever I was with Bora, he cast an angry glance at me, and did not hide his lust for her. Of course, I didn't really care about that because I didn't want to stop his inner greed and lust for her.
But the problem was that he revealed his greed and lust that he should have kept to himself. And he had to pay the price for that.
