Tomb Raider King

“Uh, he's right next to you. ”

I looked into the eyes of Ju Heon who is talented. Irene also looked at Ju Yu Jae-ha. Who the hell is calling from?

However, I hesitated to tell the other person.

“Why are you looking for the Master? You're not up to something, are you? ”

If you look at them speaking in English, they won't be Korean.

It was time.

Joo Heon, who had not heard it, reached out to Jae-Ha.

“Give it to me.”

“Huh? But. ”

“You're looking for me. Give it to me.”

I couldn't help but reach out my cell phone. As soon as he handed over his cell phone, Ju-heon greeted him in English.

“Did you find me? Who are you?”

At the same time, the silent caller laughs. I still wanted to talk to Ju Heon, but he was frustrated because he didn't change it.

[Are you Seo Ju-heon?]

The voice of an elderly man who seems cheerful but not reckless. And Joon Ju-heon, whose voice sounded familiar, was able to identify the other person at once.

“That's Edward. ”

It was clear.

This was a giant from an arms dealer who used to trade artifacts and information in the past, wandering amongst dictators.

However, Edward was overwhelmed by the main response.

[Do you know me?]

“Of course I know. You're an old man who'd do anything for money. ”

This guy?

However, whether the old man was confused or not, Ju-heon smiled.

‘I didn't think he'd come to me first. You've taken the trouble to find him. ’

Edward was an investor who would be called the "King of Wealth" in the future and was a big hand in shaping the artifact market economy. He was a middleman connecting the artifact users at the same time, so he thought he would find it otherwise.

There was no better informant to find out about the whereabouts of the other artifact users and their information.

It's just...

‘The fools are his prey. ’

Edward is definitely asking for important information, but there are a lot of users who are drawn to it. Investment information can sometimes be damaging if you bite them incorrectly. So depending on the person, it could have been the object of hatred.

‘But if you use Edward well, you'll make lots of money. ’

Even if the fools were, he was confident that he would not prey on them, but only profit. Edward was the key partner of Kwon, so he knew about it.

‘You're still looking at the liver next to Chairman Kwon and Richard. ’

And that's how he contacted Ju-heon?

‘Obviously. ’

Zhou Zhen knows his insides too well, but he trembles.

“I already know about you, so don't mention yourself. So why don't you tell me what you were looking for? ”

[Huh.]

Edward smiles, thinking he's more arrogant than he thinks.

[If you know about me, the story will be quick. It's no big deal. I was intrigued by the rumors that you were a talented man who was screwing with Chairman Kwon.]

Of course it is.

Zhou Zhen raises his mouth.

Edward smelled of money and had good eyes. He was the one who reached out for the tree he wanted to be. And they show up with one that smells like money.

It's different.

[What do you think, if you have time, would you like to schedule a lunch?]

But I laughed at him as if he was the same.

“Hey, Edward. They're busy with each other. So why don't you just cut to the chase? ”

What?

“Aren't you calling to ask me something? Like, don't you want to go to a grave with a bounty in China? ”

[!]

Edward is in for a surprise. It is because he entered with a stamp of grain. He laughs at Edward, who has no answers.

“Why. Am I wrong? ”

No, it was definitely true what Zhou Zhen said.

Edward, who had learned of the existence of Jujubilee, wanted to leave him with a task. And it was a graveyard with a bounty on it in China.

Since the Great Diversification, countries around the world have begun looking for users of artifacts, and in the case of China, if they join the bureaucracy, they will give them $10 million in exploration. And, of course, it's just a reward for exploration, even if the artifact is attributed to the Chinese authorities.

Edward, who was reluctant about his attitude, accepted.

[Yes. I think you already know about the Chinese tomb. Then...]

“Join the excavation team as a mercenary? ”

[Huh? Oh yes. And after joining...]

“You want me to smuggle the relics from that tomb into China and sell them to you? ”

Son of a bitch. Did he look inside himself?

Edward takes back a moment of embarrassment.

[Did Chairman Kwon or Jae-Ha hear anything?]

“No? But that's who you are. ”

Then, Hahaha laughs happily as if Edward had lost.

[Yeah, that's right. When I heard that Chairman Kwon's artifact was stolen, I thought you were the only one who could do this. You're a ghost, aren't you? I need you to smuggle the artifacts from the Chinese tomb with your genius skills. I'll give you a good price.]

“Compensation?”

$20 million.]

20 million is about 20 billion won. Of course, it's not bad for income. That's why Edward thought it was a good offer.

[If you try to steal it and sell it to the black market, China will put a BOLO out, so you won't get a good price. So you can get paid for your exploration, and you can sell the artifact to me comfortably so you can get a good price.]

Edward smiles, asking you if it's as easy as going on a picnic.

[If you accept this quest, I will also take you as a VIP client in the future.]

This quest looks pretty good.

It wasn't hard for him.

But...

“No matter how ridiculous you look at me, it's ridiculous. ”

What?

“Are you going to buy me for 20 million dollars and sell it to the United States for 100 million dollars? ”

[What, what?]

“Even though it's the middle man's job to make a price jump, there are some who sell it on the spot. ”

This time, Edward, the slob in the world, lost his cool. He never told anyone, but he saw exactly what he was selling the artifact to and even the price.

What's going on here? ’

Yes, it is.

There was nothing wrong with his words. In fact, Edward was in business with the U.S. government and was commissioned by the future warlord of China.

It was a nation that was wary of China, and especially did not like the signs of China's actions to form its own excavations after the Great Diversification.

What's the matter with you?

‘China refused to join Pandora. ’

The Pandora business, where denials and government are secretly pushing together. The International Artifact Management Organization had banned the use and privatisation of public artifacts and was pursuing the co-ownership of subscribers' artifacts.

In other words, artifacts and graves were yours for the subscribers, yours for mine, and mine for yours. The chunk of land that will be buried in China will be broad too. Instead, it was a position to create its own excavations and try to obtain artifacts.

After all, the War King asked Edward to gather information about the Chinese tomb and take the artifact.

But only Edward knew that.

It was not something he should have known.

But why?

Thanks to this, Edward wonders if information has been leaked.

[Who told you that?]

Then he snorted as if he had a small constitution.

“Are you ignoring me now? ”

[?!]

“Hey, Edward. I don't care what you're selling back, or who you're dealing with. But at least if you want to make a deal with me in the future, keep this one in mind. ”

[……?]

“I'm not your ant, I'm your partner. I can get the artifact you want out of the grave, and I have the ability to revive your business. You know what I'm saying? ”

Aldama.

You don't have to be mean to me, you have to be mean to me. You have to be mean to me without hiding anything.

In the end, Edward smiles softly.

Not only did I press Chairman Kwon, but I wanted to contact him because he was the one who took Jae-Ha.

‘Not quite. Not quite. ’

I don't know why, but it seemed like Chairman Kwon was having a hard time seeing his face. I didn't know if I had a future prophecy or an artifact that detects humans from knowing me this well.

‘This is why I can't just pick on you. ’

He seemed like a talented man, so I tried to use him properly.

‘I haven't seen his face yet, but I don't know if he'll be bigger than Chairman Kwon or any of the artifact users. ’

That's why Edward, who had a strong investor temper, had a strong interest in him. That's why I said:

[Okay, I'll tell you what I know. America has a female general named Keira Clark, who collects map artifacts. The artifact from China's bounty tomb is probably a map artifact.]

Map?

An unexpected reply raised the tail of my mouth. In fact, the information on the Chinese tomb at that time was quite closed, so they did not even know about the contents of the main contribution.

But what kind of map?

‘Good timing. ’

[In any case, it's a Chinese proposition, but since we're collecting map artifacts, we've asked to be taken away from the United States.]

Then Joo-heon smiled.

“Fine, I'll join the Chinese excavation team and return the artifact. ”

[Are you sure?]

“The allowance is 80 million dollars. ”

What, what?]

“You're going to sell it for 100 million anyway. ”

[Th-that's...! I can't believe you just raised it from 20 million dollars! There's nothing left! 30 million dollars!]

“You're a dead man. All right, you got it. 70 million. ”

[Damn it, 40 million!]

“$60 million in combined risk benefits. Not below. ”

[Risk payment?!]

“Why? Think about it. If we get caught taking the artifact, the Chinese might kill us. You're trying to commit a dangerous crime and you're not paying for it? ”

Edward sighs for a moment and says yes. The United States continued to need to earn their trust, which is why this quest also needed to be successful.

[Okay! Then I hope it works!]

“Okay, I'll see you in a week. ”

The phone was disconnected at the same time. And I was staring blankly at Irene, who was listening next to me. Because Edward's voice was quite loud, they also heard the request.

So I stared at them as if they were crazy.

“If you take the artifact, China won't let you...!" ”

“That's right, and then you get shot! ”

However, he only laughed instead of answering.

“You'll need a map artifact from there to lift your curse. ”

“! ”

Then Yoon Jae-Ha, who noticed something, was embarrassed and called out.

“Huh…? Wait, that's supposed to break Irene's curse? But weren't you supposed to sell the artifact to Edward? Edward is selling to the United States. ”

“Yes, I do. Slave 1, no. Subordinate 1. But first, let's check one thing. ”

“Yes?”

“Did Edward know you can replicate the artifact? ”

“N-no? We know that you can only replicate common works. It bothers me if I know I can replicate the artifact...”

In fact, he purposely kept it a secret in order to cheat.

However, the gaze of Ju Heon shifted.

“Really? You don't know? ”

Somehow, that look in my eyes made me sweat my talent.

“Hey, boss. No way………"

Joo Heon smiled.

“Keep your hands free. You're gonna have to work hard to make a counterfeit. ”

This guy?

Ugh; Tsk; I closed my eyes for a second and missed zero.

Starting tomorrow, I'll be back in one day. I'm having intestinal problems these summers.

+ I should tell you about setting the artifact rank when I get a chance; F;

Since prolog, Chairman Kwon has put a cross in the middle of a novel, and he's never been king because he's strong. As Prohl puts it, it has a good luck and timing, making it feel like you're in absolute position. They acquired the new artifact quickly, and even the medical artifact was quite exclusive.

As artifacts appeared in the world, the incurable diseases of graves and artifacts syndrome circulated around the world, medical artifacts became almost as absolute as drinking water for humans.

After all, the protagonist was on the move, but it was a typical case where he and his family got sick and were unable to spread their wings because they were vulnerable and only did good things. Chairman Kwon continued to deal with the medical artifacts. (Even if I gave him a medical artifact, he would only temporarily ease the pain. because the medical artifact was like a drug, and if you don't take it, the pain was so great that you had to follow Chairman Kwon, and you asked for the artifact, and you got a promise, but you didn't give it to Prologue.) (That way, the medical artifact attracts a large group of emerging talent.)

After all, Chairman Kwon was a well-paid man, but if you look at the specs, you can only be one of 20. It was only because of the strength of the constitutional bureaucracy and the power of the unconstitutional bureaucracy that made it the top of the queue.

That's why you're so lucky to be king when you don't have the skills. (There was a fundamental capital force in a capitalist society, so it was possible quickly. Anyway, because he's no longer constrained after regression, he can get in more trouble.

And by the way -- a king, rather than an absolute level of shame, is a title that people later come to call a sense of greatness in the country. It's basically a strong title, but it's a complex title of how many + artifacts you have + how much impact you have on the world.

It's a regression story, so I omitted a lot, but I have to add a smaller explanation.

+ If you need an answer to your question occasionally, please see Q. It's originally called @, but it's the event period. ⋅ We'll drive you when we get the chance!

Thank you so much!
