Gold and Silver Alchemist

The man’s name was Tony Hamilton.

I brought Tony to a Korean beef restaurant.

Shortly after inhaling 5 double burgers, the meat is pulling again.

Sizzle-

A piece of browned beef was placed on Tony’s plate.

“[thank you!]”

well-

He chewed the meat and let out a series of exclamations.

“[and! It’s really so delicious! The ups and downs are slowly melting away!]”

“Does it taste better than venison?”

He smiled and replied.

“[I’ve never caught a deer before.]”

More than 1,000 deer lived inside Factory 5.

That amount was much higher than the density of elk habitat on the Korean Peninsula.

So it was very easy to spot.

No matter how good you are with a bow, you haven’t caught a single deer in 15 years of living there.

“[I want to eat meat, but I can’t kill deer. So there is no way the arrow will fly properly.]”

The reason why he failed to hunt deer every time was because of his personality.

He was the kind of person who couldn’t twist a chicken head himself, even if he was desperate for chicken.

“Your personality is so withdrawn, will you take revenge properly?”

At my words, his eyes turned cold.

“[I will definitely kill him with my own hands! No, it’s too bland to just kill it! It will make you feel the same pain as me!]”

His anger towards the enemy who tried to kill him never softened.

“[It’s 15 years! If I hadn’t had a watch, I would have forgotten all the years…]”

Tony glanced at his watch for a moment.

tick- tick-

It was very worn and scratched, but the second hand still worked.

While inside, he pictured him sighing every time he looked at his watch.

“[It was] more than once or twice that I wanted to kill myself because I was so alone! But I endured day by day imagining the scene of revenge against him!]”

“But why hasn’t that person visited him once in 15 years?”

Factory 5 has hundreds of golden bells weighing more than 40 tons each.

He knows that too.

But it was strange that he hadn’t come to pick it up for 15 years.

“[You’ve probably found a similar place somewhere on American soil. There is no need to come all the way to Korea to take out the gold until you use up all the gold there.”

It was clear he had discovered another elixir extraction facility in America.

It’s easy to find if you use the golden chest.

There are thousands of tons of gold nearby, so there is no need to come all the way here.

“[Oh really! The more I think about it, the more pissed off I get! Why did you want to kill me if you couldn’t even use it all by yourself?]”

“Are the preta (餓鬼) running out of money to spend, so they keep collecting?”

There are servants who have accumulated so much money in their bank accounts that they cannot use it all in their lives, but instead of helping their neighbors in need, even when their parents and siblings are dying from illness, they refuse to pay a penny for hospital bills.

That kind of person didn’t save money to spend.

Blindly piled up and satisfied.

He must be smirking at Factory 5 as a ‘safe that can’t be touched’.

Took-

I put down the tablet PC in front of Tony.

When he tried to touch the screen, his eyes widened and he screamed.

“[Is this a computer?]”

“Wasn’t there such a thing 15 years ago?”

“[There was, there was…. But it was much thicker and heavier. and! How do you fill the screen all the way to the edge? Did you actually exchange technology with aliens and humans while I was gone?]”

“Stop talking nonsense and find that bastard. Do you know how to search the Internet?”

“[hahahaha, you’re ignoring me too much. Even 15 years ago, the Internet existed!]”

well-

Tony chewed on the meat and searched for his brother’s name.

But after searching for a while, I couldn’t find any information about him.

It is said that they are living a normal life to the extent that they cannot be searched on the Internet, or that they have laundered their identities.

“[They most likely changed their name!] Aren’t you the one who tried to kill me because you didn’t want to share the gold? Of course, he didn’t want to share it with his family. He would have changed his name and went to sleep! Maybe even the face could have been ripped off!]”

.

.

.

I fed Tony heartily and brought him to the building where the Songpa office is located.

He asked me as we rode the elevator up.

“[Where are you going now?]”

“My office.”

“[Excuse me, may I ask what exactly you do?]”

“It’s like you. A treasure hunter.”

I got off the elevator and entered the office.

Seoyeon Kim was already waiting there.

“Are you here, boss!”

I introduced her to Tony.

“He’s a top-notch hacker, so tell me anything that could lead to finding him.”

“[yes. All right!]”

Immediately, Seoyeon Kim asked Tony.

“[You’re looking for Alex Brown, your college classmate who graduated the same year as you?]”

“[Yes, that’s right!]”

ride-

Kim Seo-yeon sat down in front of the computer and tapped the keyboard a few times before opening her mouth.

“[Alex Brown disappeared 15 years ago.]”

Tony and I nodded at the same time.

Because one of the options he would have chosen was identity laundering.

He will abandon his original identity and go into hiding, living under a new name.

Kim Seo-yeon opened her mouth again.

“[Family affiliation confirmed that Alex Brown had a daughter].”

Then Tony nodded.

“[yes! you’re right. He had a little daughter! I was a kid 15 years ago, but I must be about 20 now!]”

Alex Brown had no wife, but one daughter.

A woman whom he had met at a club and had a one-night stand suddenly came to him one day and left the baby to him before disappearing.

“[My daughter is already dead.]”

“[yes?! Didn’t you also wash your daughter’s identity? I want to live together.]”

“[no. It is true that the daughter is really dead. He died of cancer a few years ago.]”

His daughter had been placed in the care of another family long before he disappeared.

Four years ago, while still in high school, she died of stomach cancer.

“[I checked my hospital records and found that I didn’t get proper treatment because I didn’t have money.]”

Tony rested his chin on his chin and said to me that he was deep in thought.

“[Couldn’t that bastard really be dead?]”

“Why do you think so?”

“[If he was alive, there was no way he wouldn’t have known about his daughter. Could it be that he just watched his real daughter die because he had no hospital bills?]”

As Tony said, he could have been in an accident and already died.

Or he could have lived with his ears closed to the news of his real daughter.

Maybe he didn’t care even though he knew his real daughter was dying.

Even his only blood relative had died, so there were no clues left to track him down.

Seoyeon Kim asked Tony.

“[Has there ever been something Alex Brown said often? When I become rich, where will I buy a house, or where will I buy a yacht, things like that.]”

“[ah! I said that! It was only when he was drunk! I’m going to make a lot of money and buy the most expensive sports car in the world! And he said he would enjoy driving with a model who kills next to him!]”

ride-

Kim Seo-yeon tapped the computer keyboard and opened her mouth again.

“[A supercar that was on display at the Geneva Motor Show not too long ago was sold to an anonymous customer for $30 million. That car is the most expensive sports car in existence.]”

30 million dollars was the price of 40 billion Korean won.

Kim Seo-yeon continued after hacking the car company’s customer list.

“[That anonymous customer is this guy!]”

Kim Seo-yeon displayed a picture on the computer screen.

It was a beautiful white woman.

“[A model based in New York, 20 years old.]”

I tilted my head and asked Seoyeon Kim.

“How famous a model can you buy a car worth 40 billion at that age?”

“World-famous models sometimes earn more than tens of billions of won a year. But she’s not that famous. Besides, it’s not even a gold spoon.”

“Then what money did you buy the car for?”

“It was bought by her boyfriend.”

Kim Seo-yeon displayed another picture on the computer screen.

It was a picture of the model and her boyfriend together.

The man looked at least 30 years older than the woman.

“[what?!]”

Tony looked at the face in the picture and opened his mouth.

“[That bastard!]”

“Are you sure?”

“[Looks like you did a lot of plastic surgery, but you still have a little bit of your old face! And when he smiles, one eyebrow rises just like him! I laughed like that even after hitting the back of my head with a stone!]”

The model’s boyfriend was the Alex Brown we were looking for.

Tony exclaimed excitedly.

“[Human bastard! My real daughter died because she didn’t have medical bills, so did you give your lover a car worth 30 million dollars?]”

It wasn’t too shocking because the trash did something trashy.

Anyway, it turns out that Alex Brown is alive.

It was clear that the ‘golden box’ was still in his hands as he gave his model girlfriend a gift worth tens of billions of won.

So now all that’s left is to catch him.

I asked Seoyeon Kim.

“So where is that kid now?”

“All we know about him is that one photo taken by the paparazzi! There is absolutely no other information on the internet! I don’t even know the name you use now.”

“okay? Then I’ll have to meet that bastard lover first.”

Kim Seo-yeon confirmed the current position of the female model.

“I’m in Las Vegas right now to do a fashion show!”

.

.

.

I took a flight from Incheon Airport and arrived at Las Vegas International Airport.

There was a direct flight going at once, so there was no need to change planes.

flashing-

When I got off the plane and entered the airport, I saw a slot machine spinning vigorously.

‘It’s like a gambling city.’

I went straight to the immigration checkpoint.

Before, I didn’t go directly to my destination because I was afraid someone would track my route, and I went through neighboring countries, but now I don’t have to.

“[Welcome to America. Mr. Jose Antonio]”

The immigration officer checked my passport and returned it.

José Antonio was my ‘buchae’, a Nevis citizen from South America.

In the future, you can use this fake identity to travel abroad freely.

‘Las Vegas!’

Now that I’m here, I should enjoy Las Vegas, the city of pleasure, when I’m done with my work.

The biggest goal of this US trip is to get the golden chest.

But it was also important to collect the weapons and armor of the giants somewhere in the Grand Canyon.

Finding and studying it will be of great help in uncovering the truth about the elixir extraction facility.

Coincidentally, Las Vegas was very close to the Grand Canyon.

It was only 250 kilometers from here to Grand Canyon National Park.

It’s been 15 years since Tony left the giant’s relic there.

Until now, it was unknown whether it would remain undetected by others.

Anyway, I had to check.

‘Let’s quickly check that.’

I got out of the airport and moved to a deserted place.

Then he disappeared with ＜invisibility＞ and donned a rocket suit.

For now, I flew out of the city at low speed.

Then the endless desert came into view.

Woo woo woo-

Ignite the rocket.

And it started flying at supersonic speed toward the Grand Canyon.
