43. Prophet

"I am the first prize winner of the lottery for the fifth time in a row."

"yes?"

Ma Gyeong-rok's eyes widened at Ryu Min's confession.

Unlike before, his eyes looked genuinely surprised.

"Is that true? "Ryu Min is the winner who made an uproar a few months ago?"

"yes."

"her… … ."

It's not just Ma Gyeong-rok.

Ahn Sang-cheol, who was next to him, also looked quite surprised.

-That kid is the one who won 70 billion won from the lottery alone?

The two finally understood.

How was Ryu Min able to acquire such wealth at such a young age?

"But Mr. Ryumin. When I read the article, I thought it was 70 billion? How did you get a huge sum of 280 billion... … ."

"I dabbled in Bitcoin."

"Bitcoin? Is that all?"

"yes."

Did you make 280 billion out of the 70 billion won from the lottery?

Ma Gyeong-rok's eyes changed at those words.

-Everyone knows that Bitcoin is unstable. This is impossible without a great deal of courage and guts.

Ma Gyeong-rok could not help but be impressed, thinking that he was bold despite his image.

"You are truly amazing. How can you think of investing 70 billion won in Bitcoin? … If it were me, I wouldn't have been able to do that. haha!"

Did he disapprove of the representative he served putting himself down?

Ahn Sang-cheol frowned and suddenly said something.

"I guess you were really lucky."

"It's not luck."

When Ryu Min immediately refuted, Ahn Sang-cheol looked at him disapprovingly.

"I saw it in an article. I was told the lottery numbers in my dream. If that's not luck, what else? … ."

"I didn't tell you in a dream."

"then… … ?"

Ryu Min paused for a moment and looked away.

Ma Gyeong-rok is waiting for his answer with expectant eyes.

'This is the only way to convince Ma Gyeong-rok and get him on my side.'

Ryumin took a deep breath and gave out the answer he had prepared.

"It's my first time revealing this to someone else… … "I have the [Future Poetry Rune]."

"yes?"

"This is a rune that allows you to foresee the future several years in advance. That means I… … ."

Ryumin spoke clearly.

"They say he is a prophet who can see the future."

"… … ."

"… … "

For a moment, silence came to the hall.

-What did I just hear?

-A prophet? What kind of absurd thing is that kid talking about? … .

Only Ryumin, who could read thoughts, was not allowed silence.

Ma Gyeong-rok came to his senses and barely opened his mouth.

"A prophet… … "Are you sincere?"

"Why should I tell a lie?"

"Are you saying that the reason I guessed the lottery numbers was because I predicted the future with that future vision rune?"

"That's right. The same goes for making money with Bitcoin. "I was able to put all my money in because I was confident I could see the future."

"… … ."

In fact, it is a future that we learned about through dozens of regressions... … .

'Either way, it has the same meaning in terms of knowing the future.'

So it wasn't just a lie.

And yet.

-Can I trust what this person says?

-A rune of future poetry. There is such an amazing rune?

The two still couldn't let go of their doubts.

"If you don't mind, can you prove it?"

"Proof?"

"You're predicting what I'll do after a while…" … ."

Ryu Min, who read Ma Gyeong-rok's thoughts, laughed inwardly.

'I can read thoughts, so it's not a problem to guess the next action... … .'

I shook my head because it was good for the future to put restrictions on my abilities.

"I'm sorry, but abilities can't be used that easily. "It often manifests itself without me even realizing it."

"Are you saying it's random?"

"yes."

- Well, if it's a rune that can see the future, there needs to be that level of restriction for balance.

While Ma Gyeong-rok was thinking such things, a thought suddenly crossed his mind.

"Ryu Min. Then, they invested a huge sum of 280 billion won in our company... … ."

"yes. "I invested in Cheonma Consulting because I knew it would grow rapidly in the future."

"If it grows rapidly, to what extent… … ?"

"We can easily achieve KOSPI listing within half a year."

"… … !"

A look of surprise passed over Ma Gyeong-rok's face.

How great would it be if that were the case?

Not only can his ability be recognized by his father, but he can even adjust the proportion of his assets.

It is a natural step to take over the position of chairman in the future.

The corners of Ma Gyeong-rok's mouth rose slightly, but only for a moment.

-I went crazy for a moment. I can't believe I'm laughing at information that I don't even know if it's true or not.

Still, hearing that his company would do well made Ma Gyeong-rok feel good.

Until Ryumin spoke the next words.

"Instead, to succeed, you have to completely transform the industry."

"yes? "What industry?"

Cheonma Consulting is a company that provides consulting in various fields, including companies, construction, hospitals, real estate, management, employment, and start-ups.

It is a company created by Ma Gyeong-rok specifically to utilize the information and know-how of Ohsung Group, which is expanding its presence in various fields.

Therefore, saying to change the industry is like saying to tear down the tower that you have worked so hard to build.

This is a situation where Ma Gyeong-rok must put aside his pride.

Is it because we know that fact well?

Ahn Sang-cheol's voice grew louder.

"That's too much to ask! Are you thinking of changing your industry now? Are you saying that we should change the company name?"

"Chief Ahn!"

Ma Gyeong-rok scolded them from the side, but their thoughts were not much different.

Ryumin spoke in a calm voice.

"As the industry changes, of course the company name must change as well."

"I beg your pardon? "Are you sincere?"

"Do you think I'm joking by coming all the way here?"

Ryu Min looked at Ahn Sang-cheol, who was refuting.

Unlike his dazed appearance a moment ago, his eyes are unwavering.

'When appealing my abilities, it's better to show a decisive appearance like this. That way it looks trustworthy.'

As Ryu Min expected, Ma Gyeong-rok's thoughts changed.

-The atmosphere has changed. There is no wavering in your eyes. Is this how confident you are in your abilities? The absurd ability to see the future?

Ma Gyeong-rok corrected his thoughts.

-No, that's not necessarily true. Since we have already transcended reality, we cannot assume that there are no future runes. So, does this really mean that my company can succeed if I just change the industry?

Ma Gyeong-rok thought.

If that happens, I will change my industry without hesitation.

-The problem is that I can't tell whether what that person says is true or nonsense.

When Ma Gyeong-rok looked worried, Ryu Min persuaded him again.

"You both know this well since you are both players. "What a huge loss and penalty it is to open your own runes."

"… … ."

"For me, I accepted that and opened Rune. As a major shareholder and business partner who will participate in future management, I want to help the company grow. "Why would I have invested 280 billion won?"

Even though I said I would persuade them in my own way, the two people still looked at me with suspicion, as if they didn't believe me.

"If you want the company to succeed, you have to hold my hand."

"CEO. "You sure don't believe that, do you?"

Ryu Min sighed a little at Ahn Sang-cheol's words.

"It seems like you don't trust my abilities."

"Honestly, yes."

Words cannot persuade.

'I knew this would happen, so I prepared a lot of things.'

Now it's time to show the evidence.

"Director Ahn Sang-cheol. Have you ever wondered how I moved downstairs? "You don't think it's just a coincidence, do you?"

"ah… … !"

"Wait. Downstairs?"

Ma Gyeong-rok looked at Ahn Sang-cheol as if it was the first time.

"Chief Ahn? What does this mean? "You mean downstairs?"

"Ah, CEO, that's… … ."

Ahn Sang-cheol told Ma Gyeong-rok about meeting Ryu Min.

"Ryu Min lives downstairs from actress Seo Ah-rin's penthouse?"

"Yes, I moved in January of this year. "It was only a few days after I obtained the future vision rune."

Ma Gyeong-rok's head turned to Ahn Sang-cheol.

"Chief Ahn. "Why are you saying that now?"

"Well, I only found out about this today."

Are you moving into the house next door to someone related to the company you plan to invest in?

This is impossible without knowing the future.

-no. It's not impossible. Anyone who knows that I am sponsoring Seo A-rin can move into the house next door.

Despite Ryu Min's persuasion, Ma Gyeong-rok did not easily believe.

'Yes, this might not be enough.'

Ryumin, who had been expecting it, took out the next card.

"You look like you don't believe it. Then how about this?"

Ryumin grinned.

"This hotel you are in right now is owned by CEO Ma Gyeong-rok, right?"

"… … ."

"CEO Ma Gyeong-rok's true identity is the eldest son of Ohsung Group."

"… … ."

"And Cheonma Consulting is also a company you started in secret to get recognition from your father, right?"

The three-hit combo that revealed his true identity could have made him dizzy.

Ma Gyeong-rok was not easily involved.

Rather, Ahn Sang-cheol suddenly stood up and became excited.

"you! Who instigated it? Information that only a relative cannot know... … !"

"Chief Ahn. "Please calm down."

Ahn Sang-cheol calmed down his anger and sat down.

In contrast, Ma Gyeong-rok's tone was calm.

"Yes, that's all true. But it's not convincing to say that you figured it out by looking at the future. As Director Ahn said, this is information that any relative can know."

"… … ."

"I'm sorry, but it doesn't resonate with me. To be honest, I feel like someone else conspired to trap me. "There are some people who want me to fail."

A self-mocking smile appeared on Ma Kyung-rok's lips.

"In this situation, trusting the major shareholder and changing the industry? You know without me having to say it, right? "How absurd that sounds."

"… … ."

"No matter how large a shareholder holds 31%, I cannot accept it. Of course, that's a convincing enough statement. But you acknowledge that there are holes too, right?"

Ryumin just listened quietly without answering.

"I also want to believe that the runes of future poetry exist. Really. Who would refuse if there was a way for my company to grow? "Even if it means destroying the sign, follow it."

"… … ."

"But it is difficult to believe what Lord Ryu Min says. We appreciate your investment in our company, but I think we need to hold a general shareholders' meeting and review the agenda. "It is Ryu Min's job to persuade other shareholders."

Ma Gyeong-rok buttoned his suit as if he would get up from his seat.

"I'm sorry I wasn't able to help you. "Then I will wake up first."

"Just a moment, CEO."

In response to Ryu Min's call, Ma Gyeong-rok added the butt he heard.

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

'In the end, is this the only way?'

Ryumin, who had been acting hesitantly, cautiously opened his mouth.

"Then how about this?"

"which?"

"I will give you information for round 4."

"Round 4… … ?"

Not only Ma Kyung-rok but even Ahn Sang-cheol opened their eyes wide.

"Do you also have information on round 4?"

"yes. I saw it all in future tense. "What kind of tragedy happens?"

Ryumin smiled as he looked at the two people who were surprised.

"This level of information will be enough to prove my abilities, right?"
