I Became a Scoundrel of a Chaebol Family Chapter 6

After ridding myself of drug addiction, I purchased a house in Songdo using an app.

The property was about 500 pyeong (roughly 1,650 square ters) with a building area of 150 pyeong (about 495 square ters) spread over three floors.

The price was around 16 billion won (approximately $12 million).

Of course, I paid for it using the capital of Go-ryeo Entertainnt.

Considering Go-ryeo Entertainnt’s total capital was about 100 billion won, spending 16% on a house was quite a significant amount!

And even though it was a quick sale, it was still a good deal because the price had dropped due to the previous owners—several of them—dying one after another.

‘Turns out it was all just a coincidence.’

The house’s value would skyrocket later, so it was a profitable investnt even at that price.

I had the police deliver the drugs and other items from the underground warehouse to the new house, and then I headed to my next destination with Im Soo-ah.

The initial things I had to do were.

Find a secretary.

Secure the female protagonist.

Kill the male protagonist.

Develop and secure facilities for the RK-99 project.

These were the four big tasks.

Finding a secretary wasn’t difficult.

If things went well, I could kill two birds with one stone with task 2.

If not, I could always just contact Go-ryeo Prestige and hire one through them.

Or I could even scout Im Soo-ah; from what I could tell, she’d jump at the opportunity if I offered the right salary.

So, first up was task 2.

In this ga, there were two protagonists.

If the player started as a female, the male protagonist was out there sowhere, and if one started as a male, the female protagonist was also out there.

Both gain mored influence as the story progressed.

Now that I’d possessed Go Mu-yeol’s body, it was safe to assu that both the female and male protagonists were living their stories sowhere in the world right now.

The female protagonist, Seo Ah-ram, had a particularly grim backstory.

In short, her mother had a rare illness, and Seo struggled to make ends et, eventually resorting to selling her body.

The real story kicked off in the sumr of ’77, when her mother passed away.

Since today is August 25, 2076, she was likely not at the stage where she was selling her body just yet, though she was probably already being pressured by debt collectors and facing tough decisions.

My goal was to pay off her debts, treat her mother, and secure Seo Ah-ram’s loyalty in exchange.

I could even hire her as a secretary if needed.

As for the male protagonist, he’d simply need to be eliminated.

There was nothing to gain from keeping him around.

Lastly, RK-99 referred to a room-temperature and atmospheric-pressure superconductor.

In the ga, players could acquire the highly encrypted manufacturing recipe, albeit with very low odds.

After collaborating with various companies to decode it, you’d get a recipe for RK-99, though it was written in frustratingly vague terms.

Sothing like this:

Heat lead or copper at a temperature of 110-190 degrees for 12 to 24 hours.

Heat copper or lead at a temperature of 190-250 degrees for 24 to 48 hours.

After heating, mix the lead and copper in a ‘certain ratio,’ and heat again for 24 to 48 hours.

Of course, that was not the end of it.

There were dozens of other steps, each with its own wild temperature, ti, and ratio ranges, requiring countless trials and errors to find the optimal point.

That was why collaboration with many people and companies was necessary.

But if one could manage to find the perfect combination, the dream material that could revolutionize every industry in the world would be born.

Of course, I didn’t need to collaborate.

I already knew the perfect recipe and the optimal points.

“Here…?”

I arrived at the hospital where Seo Ah-ram’s mother was admitted.

“Are you injured?”

“No. I’m here to see soone.”

——-

“This month’s total is 17,320,000 won. Please sign here.”

“Se-seventeen million…?”

“Yes. Just sign here.”

With trembling hands, Seo Ah-ram signed.

Normally, the paynt would be transferred to the hospital imdiately after signing, but unfortunately, she had no balance left.

“… I’m sorry, it says there’s insufficient funds. Do you have another paynt thod?”

“Ah… Just… Give a mont.”

She stepped away from the counter.
