Chapter 47: Becoming a Building Owner in Gangnam (2)
‘Phew! I can’t believe it. This is really all mine.’
Kang-jun sat on the couch and looked through the property report that Han Yeon-soo gave him.
Dafeng building was recently sold for 3.2 billion won and Yugang building had a market value of seven billion.
There was an annual 350 million rental income.
Then it was roughly 30 million a month.
So even if he just sat down, he would receive 30 million won a month.
Of course, the auction income was decreased due to the interest on the three billion in loans and the taxes on the rental income.
But even so, this was enough money to last a lifetime for an average person.
‘Damn! This is why people become landlords.’
Kang-jun felt somewhat bitter.
People lived differently in this world.
Somebody who worked to death might barely get 800,000 to one million won a month, while others could just sit around and earn several hundred million a month.
The owner of a building would be on top.
Jung Kwang-hyeon was born with a gold spoon from the beginning, but Kang-jun knew the woes of living on the bottom better than anyone.
So he was both happy and pained to become a building owner.
However, he didn’t obtain it for free.
He risked his life fighting monsters and raising his level.
This was the loot he received from winning in the war.
If he had been defeated by Jung Kwang-hyeon, Kang-jun would be the one suffering in hell right now.
Chwarak!
Kang-jun continued looking at his assets.
230 million won bank deposit.
It would be transferred to Kang-jun’s account tomorrow.
And there was 300 million won in stocks and bonds.
This would be disposed of and put into his account as cash.
This was what Kang-jun wanted.
Kang-jun had no idea about stocks or bonds.
It was possible for it to drop so it was better to have it as cash.
Then 530 million won would be generated.
It was better to use the money to pay off the bank loan.
Now that he had money, there was no need to do business at the market in the future.
'Yes. My management skill’s effectiveness will increase if used in my territory.’
The goshiwon on the 4th floor of the Dafeng building was empty.
Jung Kwang-hyeon had gotten rid of all the residents of the goshiwon except for Kang-jun.
Rather than renting the rooms out again, he was going to open a business. Opening a cafe would allow him to improve his management skills.
Of course, he didn’t intend to throw away his current contract.
He would continue to sell underwear until the contract period ended.
After that, he would consider setting up a business in this area.
He wouldn’t need to worry about people renewing their contracts and it would be a stable business.
Chwarak.
Kang-jun looked at the picture of the foreign car in the property list.
It was a Venta S-class black sedan.
Anyone who looked at it could see that it was an expensive car.
6000cc, grade 5 fuel economy, 6km per litre.
It was literally throwing oil on the road.
'I will sell the car.’
It was burdensome for him to drive such an expensive car.
Kang-jun preferred SUVs over sedans. He would buy an SUV if he needed a car.
However, he would certainly receive some damages if he sold it as a used car.
He would hold it for the moment.
Kang-jun didn’t need to sell the car right away so he would think about it slowly.
'Should I look at the house?’
Kang-jun got up from the couch and looked around the house.
There was a living room, five bedrooms and two bathrooms.
There was a marble floor, separate kitchen and large balcony.
The appliances were top of the line.
‘I am living alone in a place like this.’
Most of the personal items related to Jung Kwang-hyeon had disappeared.
Only the expensive-looking jewellery and decorations remained.
Now that the fake Jung Kwang-hyeon was gone, Kang-jun would have to dispose of the expensive things he didn’t need.
The house was neatly cleaned and could be used today.
‘Wasn’t there a safe?’
There was a safe in the dressing room connected to the bedroom. Jung Kwang-hyeon had given him the password but he didn’t know what was in it yet.
Kukkukkukkukkukkuk! Diririri.
The six digit number was entered and the door opened.
There were 10 bundles of 500,000 won.
It was a total of five million won in cash.
'Money is everywhere.’
Since it wasn’t on Han Yeon-soo’s list, it was money that couldn’t be discovered by the National Tax Service.
Perhaps that was why he left it in the safe instead of his bank account.
By the way, there was something other than money in the safe.
'What is this?’
It was a bag containing an unknown white powder.
There was also a strange capsule. Syringe!
'Don't tell me?'
Kang-jun’s expression stiffened.
Was it drugs?
It seemed like it. It was clear that Jung Kwang-hyeon was a drug trafficker.
‘Crazy! Why is he doing something like this?’
Kang-jun couldn’t understand Jung Kwang-hyeon. However, there was no point in understanding him. He was already dead.
The important thing was how to handle this!
Should he just throw it in a rubbish bin on the street? Or perhaps he should bury it in the mountains.
'Yes. I guess I have to call her.’
Come to think about it, there was no need for him to worry. The Black Dragon Law Firm said that they would take care of everything involved in the property transfer.
-Yes, this is Lawyer Han Yeon-soo.
"This is Lee Kang-jun. This is a small problem with the contents of the safe.”
-Is it drugs?
"Did you already know?”
-Of course. The cash and drugs inside the safe are owned by Lee Kang-jun.
“What does that mean?”
-You can use the drugs yourself or make money by selling them. If you want to sell it then I will do it for you.
“……”
Kang-jun was dumbfounded. A law firm was telling him that they would sell drugs.
-What would you like to do? If you use drugs or sell them then there is a danger that charisma will fall. Of course, charisma won’t fall with just one or two occurrences. However, it is likely in the long run.
She said that charisma could fall. Of course, Kang-jun had no intention of taking drugs or selling them even if charisma didn’t fall.
"I won’t do any of that. Can you get rid of it for me?”
-It is possible. I will visit tomorrow evening so I will handle it then. Is 7 p.m. tomorrow evening okay?
“Yes. I’ll see you then."
Kang-jun ended the call. He left the drug related items in the safe. In addition, he changed the password for the safe.
‘Damn! I’m in a bad mood now.’
It was nine in the morning before he knew it.
Kang-jun hurried to the market. He was a building owner but he still had things to do.
Seven in the evening.
Kang-jun ended his business early because of Han Yeon-soo’s visit.
However, Han Yeon-soo was already on the couch watching TV and eating ramyun with Hayun.
Hayun welcomed Kang-jun.
"Have you come back? A guest has arrived. She is Lawyer Han Yeon-soo.”
The house was owned by Kang-jun so Hayun could become a human inside it. Han Yeon-soo also got up to greet him.
"You came at exactly 7 p.m. I just arrived 30 minutes early.”
“This! I would have hurried if I knew you were coming early. Why didn’t you contact me?”
“No. I was able to eat delicious food thanks to that.”
“Is that ramyun?”
"Hayun made it. The taste is delicious. Is it okay?”
"Of course. Please enjoy it.”
Kang-jun felt like laughing as he watched Han Yeon-soo finish the ramyun with her chopsticks.
She looked like a common lawyer. But he couldn’t be fooled by that appearance. Han Yeon-soo wasn’t human. What was her other identity?
After a while, Han Yeon-soo handed Kang-jun a thick bunch of papers.
"It is all handled so please check it now.”
There were papers that included the building registration, residence registration, account transfer details, car registration certificates, certificates for various tax bills, tenant status, etc.
It took Kang-jun awhile to look through all of it.
By the way, it was strange that Kang-jun didn’t get confused while reading through all the documents.
Even though he just skimmed through, he could clearly remember the name and phone number of various tenants.
‘Why is my memory so good now? Is it because of intelligence?'
That’s right. His strength, agility and intelligence rose with every level.
He didn’t know how much smarter he had become, but it clearly couldn’t compare to before.
‘Huhu, yes. I will have to start reading in the future.’
Hopefully he wouldn’t only be fighting sovereigns. A little refinement was needed. Han Yeon-soo cocked her head as Kang-jun smiled.
“What is that smile?”
“Nothing. Rather, all this was possible in one day?”
"Of course. Our Black Dragon Law Firm doesn’t just operate in Korea, but around the world. This much is nothing.”
Han Yeon-soo said proudly. Kang-jun kept smiling.
"I’m glad to hear that. Then please take care of this with me.”
He handed over the black bag full of drugs to Han Yeon-soo.
“You just want to get rid of it?”
"That's right."
Han Yeon-soo held the black bag between both hands.
Kwack! Kwack!
The large bag became smaller until it disappeared without a trace.
"Is that all?"
“How did you do that?”
“Magic.”
“Ah.”
The average person would be surprised, but Kang-jun wasn’t. He had already noticed that Han Yeon-soo had a mysterious power.
Fortunately, she was neutral so they didn’t need to be enemies.
Han Yeon-soo picked up her bags and said.
"Then I wish you luck. I hope to see you again next time.”
Kang-jun would need to beat another sovereign before seeing her again.
If that didn’t occur then Kang-jun wouldn’t see Han Yeon-soo again.
Han Yeon-soo suddenly sent Kang-jun a strange expression.
"To be honest, I hadn’t paid much attention to Lee Kang-jun. The Black Dragon Law Firm had expected Jung Kwang-hyeon to win. But the result was quite unexpected."
Kang-jun laughed quietly.
"Maybe you’ll see me again.”
"Hoho, you are full of yourself. Then I will buy you a drink.”
"Yes."
Kang-jun saw Han Yeon-soo to the elevator and then returned.
Now that the legal process was completed, Kang-jun had become the complete owner of the Yugang and Dafeng buildings.
When combined with what was in the safe, his total cash was 600 million won.
Moreover, the house was very wonderful. It was like a mansion.
However, these possessions weren’t permanent.
They could be taken away at any moment if he ever lost a war.
Kang-jun made a fist as he recalled Jung Kwang-hyeon being dragged by the shadows.
‘I need to start again.’
Kang-jun called Colt. The black-hooded Colt showed up and bowed.
"Did you call, Lord?”
"Did you do it?”
"Yes, I used the inferior ghosts to look around the surrounding buildings.”
The intermediate ghost Colt’s primary mission was to collect information. Although his combat power was lower than Hayun, his ability to gather information was excellent due to his experiences in Hwanmong.
“Have you found other potential places where a sovereign might be located?”
“I’ve found a few locations that I am suspicious of.”
Colt handed Kang-jun a map with some marked buildings.
