SWNOVELXO Chapter 8: [Yoocheon Group] - (2)
'Talents pass.'
Not only Choi Jae-hoon, but all 32 people I picked were potential talents.
Four years ago, having gained strength, I had the discernment to grasp my potential abilities with just one look.
People who didn't know that I had this ability would protest a lot at first.
At the age of 15, even if you were wearing a mask, it would be obvious, even though you disguised yourself as an adult by wearing fantasy magic and even changed your voice, it was such a reaction.
It seemed that they couldn't easily accept being eliminated because it was an opportunity for their lives to change.
However, my decision didn't change whether I couldn't accept it or not, and it didn't change even if I decided I didn't want to hire them and the dropouts acted recklessly.
"Damn it."
"Eliminated…"
The results were sufficiently shown over the course of four years.
There were no such cases as they showed cases where they did not accept the dropout and acted recklessly, and even sued for obstruction of business.
Especially Seyton… The presence of my subordinate, the demon of wrath, Satan, would also be frightening.
Known by the name of Seyton, he is kept calm by my strict orders, but his boiling point is quite low.
He was good at controlling his anger in front of me, but that was only in front of me, his master.
Other than that, he was nicknamed the King of Madness because he showed a violent side to those who touched his temper.
[How dare you lose your temper in front of me!]
The reason why he was given the nickname of madman rather than tyrant was probably because of his characteristic of going berserk when angered, even though he was normally fine, rather than a tyrant on a daily basis.
I didn't give this nickname to me, it's something the world knows about, and I thought it suited me well, so I didn't bother changing it.
"The successful candidates can go to work tomorrow. Seyton, I'll leave it to you as always."
"Yes!"
Leaving behind the scenes for Satan, I left.
Although I was a little interested in the fact that he was a supporting character in the original work, I had no intention of doing anything to Choi Jae-hoon.
'It's to the extent of supporting me when I'm having a hard time.'
Even if Choi Jae-hoon himself worked hard and became stronger than the original, the difference would not be extreme.
If I put my mind to it and invest in it, I could make it like that, but Min-hye, the preface, didn't strengthen it beyond a certain level for the development of the original story, so she had no reason to give such favor to the supporting male character.
'It's not like I owe anything, so there's no reason to do me a favor.'
The elderly couple I had taken care of since I was 5 years old were just extras who briefly appeared in the original work, but he sympathized with me, who suffered from being kicked out naked at the age of 5, and showed kindness even though they were not well enough.
That's why I made them both rich, and at the same time, when I gained strength four years ago, I gifted them health.
'The grandfather and grandmother were healthy and doing well when I saw them a while ago.'
Unarmed general.
The age of the two is now over 70, but the body age is healthy enough to be in the 40s to 50s.
In addition, to prevent accidents to the two of them, they also cast protective magic in case they didn't know.
With that, the favor was fully repaid.
As much as the grudge, I didn't forget the favor either.
'Although it's also because I remember it so clearly.'
I still vividly remember the pain I had when I was 5 years old.
When I think of that moment when I was kicked out of the Seomun family and suffered exploitation, I still grind my teeth like it was yesterday, 14 years later.
At the same time, I remembered as vividly as if it were yesterday that the old couple did a favor to me.
'In a way, if it's a side effect, it could be a side effect.'
It could be said that it was a side effect of this mighty power.
However, it was only a minor matter compared to gaining this mighty power.
The high status of the Yuchun Group was now a great foundation for me.
– Lord!
After the interview, I got a drink from the vending machine and was spending my time alone, when I got a call from Leviathan.
Her voice in her head sent me her message too.
The distance difference between Korea and the middle of the Pacific Ocean was not a problem at all.
– What's the matter?
It was clear that there was something important going on that sent me a separate message.
– As the CEO of Yuchun Artifact in Yuchun Group, the royal family of Riverin invited me, who manufactures arms and potions for the Awakened, separately.
The Yuchun Group was an unusual company.
This company, which was founded by a number of unknown talented people who suddenly appeared, had a structure in which most of the shares were owned by Bae Jae-young, the disguised identity of Beelzebub, Mamo-hyeon, the disguised identity of Mamon, and Levia, the disguised identity of Leviathan.
Beelzebub held an unusually large amount, generally speaking, of 40%, and Mamon and Levia held shares equal to those of the presidents of large corporations, each holding 20% or more.
It was obvious that such a Leviathan was invited separately from the Riverin royal family.
– Compared to Beelzebub and Mamon having Korean nationality, you are the nationality of the Riverin Kingdom, so you are trying to build a deep relationship with the Yuchun Group through you, right?
– Yes, I think so too. In order to be recognized by the lord, this Leviathan devoted his whole body to hard work, and the results must be of interest to others. Whoops.
Being jealous of Beelzebub's achievements was still the same four years later, and he wanted to prove that he was more helpful to me.
And in fact, thanks to that mindset, I was still doing well with other colleagues without conflict.
– Yes, you did a lot of work.
– Ah, to hear such praise from the lord! That Leviathan is so happy!
– Yes.
If it wasn't for my passive skill 〈 Stable Calmness 〉, I wouldn't get used to it even after several years, and I might have been taken aback by Leviathan's zealot-like appearance.
Before synchronizing, I had selected numerous passive skills in addition to active skills, so I could use or receive the effects and effects of those skills that became a reality, so I could always show a calm appearance unless I intended.
– My lord, how would you like to participate?
– Me too?
– Yes. If, after accepting the invitation with me, you announce your lord as the next successor of the Yuchun Group on the spot… Wouldn't it be helpful when your lord entered the academy?
There was some truth in Leviathan's words.
But there was something Leviathan was missing.
– If Seomuncheon, who was kicked out of the Seomun family, is known as the next successor of the Yuchun Group, the effect will be diminished when she goes to the academy.
Seo Mun-hyeon was not supposed to be aware of his existence until he entered his academy.
The Seomun family also had to know about it, except for Seomun Min-hye, and Seomun Min-hye also kept her secret.
– If I reveal myself as I am, the Seomun family will surely try to bring me back to their family.
Seomun Kanghyeok was such a person.
He personally kicked out his 5-year-old son because he couldn't awaken his magical powers, but if the son he kicked out was considered useful, he would try to influence the Yuchun Group by establishing a father-son relationship. .
When all the plans started, Xu Wen-Hyun was the main stage of 〈 Academy of Heroes 〉, 〈 National Hero Academy 〉. Overseas, he was enrolled in the Korean National Hero Academy, simply called the Korean Hero Academy.
– In order to bring down Seo Mun-hyeon, who entered the academy with the ability and was on a winning streak, from happiness, it must not be known that I am Seo Mun-cheon, who was kicked out of the Seomun family.
Leviathan said at my words.
– Lord, then how about hiding?
– You don't want to reveal yourself?
– Yes. The name Seomuncheon, who has been registered as the successor, should be disclosed considering social issues in the future, but even the appearance is kept secret. If the lord puts on a hood, covers his face with a mask, and casts cognitive impairment with magic, he can hide himself, right?
– Not possible. Since the Seomun family doesn't know that I have power, they won't see Seomuncheon, whom I kicked out when I was 5 years old, and Seomuncheon, the successor to Yuchun Group, as the same person.
– Yes that's right. I'd just consider them to be the same person.
However, if the surname was Seomun, there was a high possibility that the Seomun family would contact them, wondering if it might be related to them.
However, in that case, you could send a warning in the name of the Yuchun Group, clearly declaring that you were not from the preface family, and saying that if you acted like this, it would be considered an insult.
– Seeing you say that, it seems that you really want me to participate?
Seeing how he tried to persuade me like this, Leviathan seemed to want to go there with me.
I thought that she was like a little child, boasting of her achievements right in front of me, her lord, and wanting to be favored by her.
But even though I wanted it so badly, I refused.
– Yes. I should try to participate. Are there any princesses there?
– Yes! Princess Arya said she would also participate.
Leviathan's voice was full of joy from her voice when I decided to participate.
But now, rather than thinking about it, I thought of Aria Riverin, the princess of Riverin Kingdom, first.
– Yes, I mean.
Arya Riverin.
As one of the heroines of 〈 Academy Hero Biography 〉, it seemed like we would actually see her up close.
And to her, through her meeting this time, she thought it would be okay to sow the seeds that would split the relationship between Seomun-hyeon and her in the future.
