282 – Corporations, Villains, Gangs # 4

Ha Jeong-do is my cousin.

It made me wonder if there was another man who was employed at a prosperous job and lived an upright life for whom the name Jeongdo (正道) would suit him so well.

I heard that positions were coming in from all over the place even before you got a job, right?

He said he wanted to make him a son-in-law.

Ha Jeong-do was the number one man I would want to have as a son-in-law in my personal opinion.

I also sometimes wondered when Ha Jeong-do would hear the news about her marriage.

He was curious about who he would marry.

Then, did Ha Jeong-do, who we met last Chuseok, reveal surprising information, saying, “I’m getting married to an elf next year?”

Ha Jeong-do and Galadriel met while hiking.

Galadriel is a 60-year-old elf who thought it was cute to mess around with various things.

Yes.

Galadriel was a 60-year-old elf.

For elves, 60 years old actually seems like a very young age, but I was impressed because it was a strangely realistic age.

“Who are you? “Who is telling me Ha-jeong’s name?”

Galadriel looked at me and opened her narrow eyes.

Gooooo-.

Just by squinting her eyes, I could feel the pressure, and I could tell from her Galadriel attitude that she also knew Ha.

“Ha Jeong-do is my cousin, and he said he will marry Galadriel, a 60-year-old elf, next year. She heard the name Galadriel and wondered…. Unless the name has changed for centuries….”

There was a high probability that the Galadriel that Ha Jeong-do was talking about and the Galadriel in front of me right now were the same person.

The elf Galadriel trembled and broke into a cold sweat as if she was greatly embarrassed.

“Actually, wasn’t she 60 years old? Are you deceiving my cousin Ha Jeong-do? Galadriel, how old are you?”

“…… !”

The radiance emanating from Galadriel’s body gradually diminished.

Galadriel has now become gentle like an ordinary woman.

“Now I understand. You are Mr. Ildo, a member of Mr. Jeongdo’s family, right? What Mr. Jeongdo often talked about… ! And when I stand in front of Mr. Jeong-do, I am still a youthful 60-year-old at heart!”

Pot-!

Galadriel took my hand.

Her hands were unusually warm and soft.

“Please keep my age a secret from Jeong Do! I also planned to tell the truth someday! But it was because I rarely had a chance to talk about it, and I was intentionally trying to hide it… !”

Have you ever seen an elf speaking gibberish?

I was watching this now and my eyes became dizzy in many ways.

Is Ha Jeong-do being subjected to a fraudulent marriage?

Lying about your age and getting married is a matter of trust.

However, in some ways, this was a problem between the soon-to-be married couple, and me, as a cousin, getting involved could have been too foolish.

It could be that I am interfering and disrupting the problem between the two people.

What is the right thing to do?

When I thought of that, the elves around me hummed.

“Look at that. Galadriel, who has never lost her brilliance to anyone, is having such a hard time!”

“It is indeed Ratatosk’s Haildo. “This is the first time I’ve seen Freya and Galadriel not fighting in one place like that!”

“Ratatosk is originally a squirrel that goes back and forth between the falcon and Nidhogg, maintaining neutrality…. Does this mean that a new squirrel faction will be created among the elves? !?”

Slurring-.

The elves slowly relaxed their grip on the hilt of the sword.

I felt the hostility and wariness disappearing.

“Let’s do it like this. If Mr. Il-do will keep my secret, I will also defeat the troops this time and hand over the information I obtained to Mr. Il-do. “Don’t you want to know the location of the mobile hideout?”

Galadriel, the leader of the Nidhogg faction, has now even offered me a deal.

You’re telling me the location of the hideout?

It wasn’t a bad suggestion to me.

That’s a very good suggestion.

But I also decided to place one condition.

“You must reveal the truth to Jeong-do before marriage. And have a serious talk with the two of you. If you promise, I won’t be the first to reveal what I found out today to Jeong Do.”

“Good.”

Galadriel answered without hesitation, perhaps because she was afraid that I might change her mind.

The contract was concluded.

I received a neatly folded piece of paper from Galadriel.

It was a wedding invitation.

“This is a sample wedding invitation. I had no idea it would be handed over like this. I’ve written down the portable information here. And… “If they find out I’m older, will they end up breaking off the engagement?”

Galadriel seemed afraid.

Is it a fear of having too many children and not being able to take over Korea?

No, I could read love in those eyes.

“If Jeong-do is angry, it won’t be because he’s older, but because he lied. He’s that kind of guy. And if two people truly love each other, wouldn’t it be good to have something like age?”

And it is better to be OOO years old than to be 60 years old.

At least I thought so.

Soon Galadriel calmly closed her eyes and spoke.

“… I feel relieved. Mr. Ildo, if it were you, you would keep your promise. I understand why Freya and the other elves think so highly of you. “I can see why my destined partner, Jeong Do, respects you.”

“Really?”

“… “Can I call you my father-in-law?”

“…… !”

It was a very strange feeling to hear the title “Father-in-law” From someone who must have lived several centuries longer than me.

For some reason, I lost consciousness and felt like honey ants were sticking to my back and tickling me.

━Zuji… !

“Senior, this is amazing! I heard that the Nidhogg faction is more aggressive than any other elf and causes various problems. “You can defeat the leader of such an extremist group and even obtain information just by talking to him!”

Yuari praised me very much.

Although I felt somewhat embarrassed, I also felt like my shoulders were lifted high.

“Originally, true strength means defeating an opponent without fighting. In the end, we both got what we wanted and it was a win-win situation.”

I decided that if I were to meet Big Sister someday, I would suggest that she consider various welfare measures for the second generation of elves.

In the near future, my cousin will give birth to about five second-generation elves, so there is nothing wrong with having policies for second-generation elves.

We got the mobile information, and the elves also got what they wanted.

Therefore, it is a win-win.

“As expected, you are great!”

I feel very good.

Honestly, I think this negotiation was amazing.

No awakened person could have achieved this much without an armed conflict with the elf army, right?

At that time, Jinah Lee said something.

“But you’re trying to lie about your age and get married. Is it okay for people who like each other to have secrets? Haildo, I don’t know if your cousin would actually tolerate this.”

“That’s my opinion too. “People who lie and cheat are bad people.”

Seo Ye-rim also agreed with Lee Jin-ah.

Ari trembled when he thought it was truly amazing that the two opinions were unified into one.

“… That’s because I thought I might be abandoned if I told the truth! That’s what it means to be a loving woman. “She wants to be loved, so she deliberately hides her ugly features and doesn’t want to show them!”

Ari has girlish emotions.

Could it be that she is defending herself against hiding the fact that she is a secret agent?

I suddenly felt sorry for Ari, who had to lie and keep a secret for the rest of his life after telling a lie he didn’t want to tell.

“But if you care for and value each other, you will eventually be able to understand any secret. If I’m being honest. Well, that’s only if it’s not against the law or anything like that.”

Squeak, pout.

I could see sweat flowing from Ari’s forehead.

Is Ari’s secret against the law?

I added hastily.

“… If you don’t hit people or treat them badly, you might be able to understand… ?”

Grumbling-.

Sweat poured down from Ari’s forehead even more like rain.

It seems that Ari’s secret will be kept more firmly and thoroughly.

I wanted to ease the burden on Ari’s heart.

As we walked along chatting with that feeling in mind, a container warehouse complex appeared.

Seo Ye-rim said after looking at the loading details written on the front of the container.

“I think this is Osa Group’s warehouse area? Because the Osa guys have built a lot of warehouse complexes like this in Macheon City. “Are the coordinates that Galadriel gave you really here?”

“That’s right.”

The number of container cargoes is at least one hundred.

According to Galadriel, there should be a portable hideout in one of these.

Kungkungi, who had been tracking olfactory information by smelling the mobile prison uniform, now twitched his nose at each container and began the search.

“Incision!”

Shook!

Ari cut open the chains and locks that tightly bound the containers with a sharp scalpel.

Cleanly cut cross section.

Giik-.

When Ari opened the container, Jinah Lee asked as if she was embarrassed.

“You can open it as you please─.”

The reason Lee Jin-ah couldn’t finish her sentence was because of something that was in the cargo.

No, I should say someone.

Baru-.

Inside the container was a small child.

Is she just about an elementary school student?

“I thought I felt like I was popular, but as expected….”

Ahri sighed.

Soon, Seo Ye-rim saw the child shivering inside the container and her face turned white.

“Crazy people locked people in containers… !? Are these the kids that Lee Dong-sik kidnapped? !? There might be more! Let’s open them all! Unlock!”

Pot-!

When Seo Ye-rim chanted her spell toward her tightly locked lock, her lock clanged open.

Magic is truly amazing!

Soon we were able to rescue one child trapped in each container.

“Are you guys okay?”

I gathered the children together.

The children were very wary of us, but when the skunk started running around and jumping around them, the children seemed to relax their guard.

“I know this guy! This is the best dog squirrel! “I saw Kira on MeTube!”

“Are you Haildo by any chance?”

“I’m not your uncle, but I’m Haildo.”

All children loved animals.

This is especially true if it is a cute animal like a dog squirrel.

I was able to easily reassure my children thanks to the dog squirrel.

But in the end, Lee Dong-sik was not found here either.

“Do you guys know it’s portable? “The person who kidnapped you was Lee Dong-sik, right?”

In response to my question, each child looked at each other’s expressions.

It seemed like he had no memory of the time he was kidnapped.

“I know Lee Dong-sik. “He was a man with fur on his face, and I heard he was running away to Jeju Island.”

Then a boy raised his hand.

It was a boy with chestnut brown hair and a nasty stab wound around one eye.

Is he about 13 years old?

“You went to Jeju Island?”

Seo Ye-rim frowned at her.

Did you think the schedule would be messed up?

However, I could see the keungkeungi growling and puffing out its fur as it looked at the boy.

It was clearly a hostile action.

I reflexively lowered my head and noticed that there was no shadow under the boy’s feet.

There is no shadow.

And Kkungkkeng is hostile… ?

“Holy sh*t, I got caught. “This is why I don’t like animals with good senses.”

Pot-!

The boy—no, Lee Dong-sik started to run away, pushing the children away.

We also followed behind him.

“Hey! Wasn’t Lee Dong-sik 27 years old? “What is that look?”

Seo Ye-rim ran for a while and asked my opinion.

I also felt a huge gap between the face I received on paper and my real face, but I am glad that it is.

I was certain that if I missed that guy here, he would completely disappear!

However, the speed of escape was too fast.

It’s difficult to get hold of the container because it goes in between containers.

“Jin Lee! “How can it not work!”

“It’s difficult to aim because the movement is so fast!”

I see.

Then I couldn’t do it.

I have no choice but to use my secret weapon!

“Kalinoi!”

━Pirrr-!

A shadow seemed to appear in the sky, and it quickly dived at Mach speed.

It was truly the movement of a wild beast targeting its prey, and Lee Dong-sik, who was running away, was pressed under the legs of the strong horned owl and fell down.

“Guaagh!”

“Gotcha!”

I sang with joy.

Seo Ye-rim slightly grumbles at me.

“You should have asked Kalinoi a long time ago, right?”

“Kalinoi is picky, so once it gets active, it asks to be petted for two hours. “This is a labor that requires more strength and sincerity than you might think.”

━Whoo, whoo… !

Kalinoi spread his wings wide.

I’m not sure, but “I’ve been active, so quickly cook some beef for me and offer it to me, and also stroke my feathers…” !”
