Notice: I by no means own anything. From the translation of the novel to the original fanfic, they are not owned by me. The only thing I own is my English translation skills. Before you ask me if copying and pasting from the source and using google translate is possible, it is not, because the original Korean viewer does not allow for copying and pasting, resulting in me having to translate word for word on my own or through the usage of sla... I mean cousins and friends helping with the translation.  Another thing to note, is that this fanfiction sort of requires you to know about the Tower of God universe before reading. Not just the anime adaptation, but also the webtoon, as most of the story that will be covered, will have content based in the recent seasons of the webtoon. 

I will also be posting other Korean fanfiction translations when the time comes, just comment on what fanfiction you guys would like, I will try to choose some that may peak your interests.

As an avid fan of "Tower of God" I have been reincarnated as Hoaqin. I still want to try many things, but there is so much to solve and do ahhhhhhhhh!   Still, I don't regret coming into the tower, it's pretty fun after all. 

Notice: I own nothing except for my own English skills needed to translate this work of art. All credits go to Pluber (플루버) the author of "[신의 탑] FUG의 신보다는, 일상이 좋습니다."

Xu Shenshen was in the middle of washing her face when she suddenly remembered that she had turned her phone off yesterday. She wiped her wet hands on her body and touched her phone. She wiped her skin care products with one hand and turned her phone on.
A text message popped up. "Xu Shenshen, we haven't seen each other for a few years. Have you grown angry? You actually dare to turn off your phone. Have you predicted the consequences? "
The second text message appeared. "Xu Shenshen, come to my office tomorrow. Remember to bring a hand-made Spaghetti as an apology gift. "
Is this man alright He actually asked her to make spaghetti. He didn't even think about where she was. The hotel she stayed in didn't even have kitchenware, let alone making spaghetti.
She directly ignored the last message. After putting on her makeup, she turned around, picked up her bag on Chuang, and went out.
Lu Xiangru had actually expected her to come empty-handed. He held a pen in his hand and gently tapped on the desk, as if he was thinking.
"CEO Lu, please arrange today's schedule. Finish it as soon as possible so that I can go back and report. " She respectfully opened her bag and took out a notebook.
The more she wanted to finish it as soon as possible, the more he would not let her have her way.
"Why did you call me last night? " He suddenly asked about last night. His dark eyes darkened, and his gaze fell directly on her face, his lips pursed into a straight line.
She threw the pen on the notebook and looked up at him. In fact, she really wanted to tell him that she did not want to talk about last night, nor did she want to know who the woman who answered his call was. Once the matter here was over, she would have nothing to do with him anymore.
"Why aren't you talking? " He did not like her looking at him like that, as if she was very far away from him.
"It's nothing. Can we talk about the translation without any personal factors? You're making it impossible for me to continue working! "
He spread his hands, indicating that they were starting to talk about the translation now and would not mention what happened last night.
"Have you ever been abroad? " When he asked this question, he actually had personal feelings in it. He wanted to know what she had done in the past six years.
"Yes. " The boss had once sent her abroad.
"alone or with other people? "
"You... "
"answer my question. I need to know your basic situation. " He interrupted her suspicion and quickly recorded her information on the computer.
"alone. " She lowered her head. She did not expect that after living for so many years, she was still alone.
"To the country or city? " He seemed to be very satisfied with her answer. At least, he could see that she did not go with her boyfriend, but went alone, separating business and personal.
"New Orleans. I've lived there for a month, and my English has also improved. If you still want to ask, what do you eat every day and who do you play with? Wait until I make a draft, then I'll tell you slowly, " she said impatiently.
He suddenly laughed leisurely. "That's not necessary. I'll let you meet my client tomorrow. He's Korean. Maybe his English is not as fluent as the American's, but I believe you should be able to handle it. "
She frowned. "Why don't you do it yourself? "
"The top Boss usually appears last, but I don't think I need to appear. You can do it perfectly. Are you confident? " He made a victory gesture and showed her his signature smile.
"If I didn't have confidence, I wouldn't be sitting here listening to you. " She was here for money. As long as she had money, she would have motivation. People were so cheap, willing to sacrifice a lot for money.
But there were some things he had to remind her in advance, so that she wouldn't be at a disadvantage and not know what was going on.
"The other party is a very picky Korean. He likes good food, but he prefers Chinese food. He is very particular about the etiquette at the table. He doesn't like to talk during dinner. You have to remember this. "Also, he likes super spicy food. You can recommend good food to him based on his hobbies. " He said so much He was telling her the main points.
Xu Shenshen wrote down the main points in the notebook and frowned. "He won't let me try IT, right? When I can't eat spicy food. "
"I can't rule out this possibility. You have to take all kinds of measures to deal with it. If you get this client, the reward won't be small. " He picked up the tea on the desk and took a sip.
"Am I going alone? " Did he not go?
"I will go too, but don't expect me to help you, " he said lightly.
She did not expect him to help her. She just wanted him to be there.
Although she did not know the identity of this Korean, judging from the situation, she could tell that his identity was not low.
When he got out of the car, a special person opened the door for him. He wore a pair of white gloves with great care. When she and Lu Xiangru walked over, he shook hands with Lu Xiangru and greeted him in Korean.
Xu Shenshen did not understand a single word that person spoke in Korean.
Lu Xiangru glanced at her and said in Korean, "Mr. Jin, I don't know if you can use English to describe it. The lady I brought today is very proficient in English. She will recommend the dishes to you later. "
This time, the Korean's gaze stopped on Xu Shenshen and he nodded and praised, "beautiful! "
Xu Shenshen only smiled slightly.
"Mr. Jin, please! " Lu Xiangru led him into the restaurant.
The Korean walked at the front, followed by a few men who were like bodyguards.
Xu Shenshen followed him and asked softly, "doesn't your father run an airline? Why didn't you take over your father's business and come here to do catering? "
He stopped and looked at her with a smile. "because we have two foodies in our family. "
"Huh? " What did she mean by foodies?
"My mother and my sister, they strongly requested that I open a restaurant. "
She nodded. So he opened a restaurant for his mother and his sister. She couldn't tell that he was so filial.
The Korean Mr. Kim liked to play a piece of music while eating.
Lu Xiangru asked her to order a song. It was the first time she had encountered such a strange thing, and she didn't know what kind of song this Korean liked to listen to.
He probably wouldn't understand a Chinese song, so should she order a foreign song or a Korean Song?
Xu Shenshen looked back at the Korean man. He was in his early forties and dressed conservatively, so he could be considered a well-behaved person. He probably wouldn't listen to a very high song, so she decided to order an old song with a slower tempo!
She searched for a long time on the plate and finally decided to order an old English song. She hoped that the man wouldn't mind.
When she returned to the table again, the man frowned for some reason, making Xu Shenshen feel uncomfortable. She did not know if there was a problem with the song.
Lu Xiangru also noticed the ugly expression on the man's face and tried to ask, "Mr. Jin, is there a problem? "
"This young lady ordered a very old song. Does she think that I'm suitable to listen to this kind of old song and don't know pop music? "
Xu Shenshen did not have that intention at all!
Lu Xiangru explained, "Mr. Jin, don't misunderstand. The reason why Ms. Xu ordered this song is that this song is more suitable for eating. Mr. Jin, you don't need to care about the music. You should taste the food first and see if it suits your appetite. "
Mr. Jin immediately beamed. "CEO LU is right. It's better to taste the food first! "
He quickly motioned for Xu Shenshen to recommend the dish to the Korean. Xu Shenshen stood up and introduced the dish in front of him. She first told him the origin of the dish, followed by the ingredients and the workmanship.
The Korean listened with great interest and would interrupt from time to time.
"Great! Let me taste this dish first. How does it taste? " The Korean picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece from the center of the dish and fed it into his mouth. Then, he gave a thumbs up and praised, "delicious! Very Spicy. It suits my appetite very well. "
Xu Shenshen heaved a sigh of relief and sat down. Lu Xiangru had said that the Korean did not like to talk during dinner. She would introduce him after he had eaten enough.
"Come, let's toast. " Mr. Jin suddenly raised his glass and called out to them, "Chinese people like to clink glasses together. Let's clink glasses too. "
Lu Xiangru picked up the glass on the table and clinked his glass. When it was Xu Shenshen's turn, she also picked up her own glass and clinked glasses with him.
After a few rounds, the Korean was an expert at drinking. Lu Xiangru and Xu Shenshen could not compete with him alone.
Xu Shenshen patted her dizzy head and felt a little drunk!
Lu Xiangru quickly gave her the cup in his hand and asked her to toast Mr. Jin with water.
Mr. Jin patted his round belly and ate until he was a little full. He kept saying to Lu Xiangru, "CEO Lu, the food you made is really delicious. I've decided to work with you in the future! "
Lu Xiangru was waiting for this sentence. He smiled and said, "I'm very happy to work with Mr. Jin. I wish US A Happy Cooperation! "
"Happy Cooperation! "
Xu Shenshen lay on the table. She was so dizzy that she couldn't drink anymore.
After sending Mr. Jin away, Lu Xiangru took off his coat and covered Xu Shenshen. He patted her face and shouted, "wake up, it's time to go home! "
"Well... " Xu Shenshen, who was already drunk, gave a light grunt and then fell asleep again.
"Xu Shenshen, what's the name of the hotel you're staying in? I'll send you there! " He picked her up in one go. This woman looked very thin, but she was actually quite heavy.
Xu Shenshen lay on his shoulder and pressed her face comfortably against his chest. Because his chest was the only one that was warm, it felt like he was hugging a warm water bag. She did not know that the warm bag was actually a human chest.
It took him a lot of effort to help her up the stairs. He had never known that if a woman fell into his arms, other than voluntarily giving him a hug, there was also another type of intoxication.
"PA! " He laid her down on his Chuang. He was so tired that he could not stand up straight, so he laid down beside her.
She flipped over, and her arm pressed against his waist. Her entire body was like a Koala wrapped around his body. What was worse was that her body was soft and had a delicate fragrance. Lu Xiangru, who had always had good self-control, immediately reacted.
He freed a hand and moved her hand away from his waist, then pushed her to the side. He sat up and panted intensely.
He could not stay here any longer. His blood vessels were about to explode. He wanted to sleep in the study for the night.
He took a blanket from the wardrobe and left the room without looking back. He closed the door behind him.
Early in the morning, Lu Xiangru almost fell off the chair. He was used to Chuang and suddenly fell asleep on the chair. He felt very uncomfortable. He rubbed his sore shoulders and put his feet down from the table.
He picked up his phone and looked at the time. It was only six in the morning. He was ready to go downstairs to wash up and make breakfast.
Xu Shenshen was not used to the light outside, so she woke up. She remembered that the room she was staying in was enclosed. Where did the sunlight come from?
She was suddenly stunned. She opened her eyes and stared at the familiar ceiling, instantly waking up.
She sat up from Chuang and pinched her face. It was not a dream. When did she climb onto Lu Xiangru's Chuang She drank a lot last night. What happened after that What happened after that She had no memory of it at all?
She lifted the quilt, put on her slippers, and got down from Chuang. She went to the window and looked at the weather outside. Suddenly, she felt warm all over.
"knock, knock, can I come in? " Lu Xiangru stood outside the door and knocked on the door.
She came back to her senses, turned around, and said, "come in. "
He carried the breakfast plate and walked in.
"Go wash your face, and then eat breakfast. "
She swallowed her saliva and asked, "last night, where did you sleep? "
"The study. " He set up the breakfast, and did not feel that it was inappropriate to sleep in the study. Anyway, he had slept for a night, and he had already suffered what he should have suffered.
"Then last night... "
He turned around and said to her seriously, "nothing happened to us last night. Can you eat breakfast at ease now? "
"Well... wait a minute! " She hurriedly stopped him from going out. After holding it in for a long time, she finally said, "thank you for yesterday. "
"after breakfast, prepare to welcome Mr. Jin. He will arrive at SSXR group at 10 o'clock in the morning and officially sign the contract with SSXR. You have to be there, " he said and turned around to leave.
Xu Shenshen was still digesting his words. What did it have to do with her if they signed the contract She had already done what she needed to do. Shouldn't she be allowed to leave?
However, in order to prevent him from badmouthing her in front of the boss, she could only wait for them to sign the contract before leaving. However, she had to finish the work here before noon today and then take a bus back to B city to report to him.
She did not know what kind of style this Mr. Jin had. Every time he appeared, it would cause a commotion. Movement.
Xu Shenshen, who had been standing behind the crowd, could not help but mutter, "it's not like he's meeting the president. Why is there such a big commotion? "
"His status is more honorable than the average person. Anyway, be careful what you say. " Lu Xiangru squeezed out a smile and walked towards the person who came.
"Mr. Jin, please come in! "
"President Lu, you don't have to be so polite! "

He was the youngest captain on an international flight route. He was calm, wise, and handsome
Under the bed, his messy clothes were scattered all over the ground.
"GET LOST! " She kicked him.
"Baby, didn't you say you were hungry? I was just obeying your wishes... " he smiled evilly and grabbed the little foot that was flying towards him.
She was so angry that she was speechless, but his eyes were full of love.
* * * 
He was the youngest and most handsome captain. At the same time, he was also the beloved son of the Chairman of NEPC International Airlines. With his own abilities, he was promoted from a flight attendant to a captain. He was only thirty years old.
She was a flight attendant on the Far Eastern Airlines.
They hid the fact that they were married and lived a life of collusion.
* * * * 
The flight attendants were all afraid of him. Those who did not know the truth even asked her to fly with him.
"I'm not going... " she refused desperately.
That colleague looked at her pitifully. "Why? Are you not going to help me? "
"You're married, and I'm not. WHO'S SAFER? " She said shamelessly, going against her conscience. After saying that, she regretted it.
"If you're not married, then you'll lie on the same bed with me every night. Are you a mistress? "
That night, she was chased out of the bedroom and slept on the sofa for the whole night.
If I love you, I won't be like a climbing kaleidoscope, using your tall branches to show off.

HI! would like to give some notes; 

{...}‹‹‹‹‹Things inside this means it's a translation because in this novel we would be using 5 languages(Tagalog(Filipino), Chinese, Korean, English, and Japanese).

While reading this you might encounter yourself.











27th of may can we turn back time. Summer of 2008, everyone was in the living room, I can hear everyone laughing, playing, talking and excited about something. Weird, right? that was the first summer, my parents, my two sisters and I are here in Cavite together for days.

"Pia, Bakit ka nasa kusina pumunta ka dito makipaglaro ka sa mga pinsan mo"
{Pia, why are you in the kitchen come here and play with your counsins} auntie Creese shouted. 

As I walked to the living room, I find it odd that everyone seems to be expecting someone. After minutes of playing, talking and repeat, someone rang the doorbell which was my first time hearing it because who would want to ring a doorbell in a scary ancestral house in the middle of the night LIKE DUDE I WOULDN'T DO THAT. My Mama ran excitedly greeting the two people who are white as milk, eyes like my mama, and they carry big heavy-looking bags. 

They talked for hours and hours, my sisters seem to know them, my cousins seem to know them, Who? A relative? Friend?Kidnapper? Ghosts? But there's something about them I can't help but notice, who is the little kid between those two white people, I didn't notice him entering and he kept silent since he came. Nobody seems to pay attention to him, like me...hehe..., should I go and talk to him and...nevermind I'll just approach him.

"Hey, why don't go talk?" four years old I said
as he just stared at me, I felt everyone's cold look and the room went dead. 
"He...can talk?" I asked the girl seating next to him.
 "Oh dear he can, how time flies you already can talk," she answered laughing.
"then, you can play with him."
"of course, dear" she looked like she was amused by my use of words then their murmuring began again.

I pulled him and we played in our grandparent's room. My grandfather is already sleeping with my other cousin. so we just played silently, both of us didn't care to know the time and played until we fell asleep. I woke up in our grandparent's bed with him sleeping by my side. 
"Still dark but so peaceful". Too quiet!.... I ran towards the leaving room finding no one, the house was calm as the dead sea then I saw my dad outside with my mama ready to leave for work, to go to the city. They wouldn't bother to wake me up cause I'll just make a fuss out of it. This time I won't cry....not gonna cry.....no....cryy... "Mama...ahhhh...ahhhh...leaving again...alone"

"Pia, don't cry if you cry your parents might get into an accident,"My grandfather told me him believing in folk ways. Stop it ...stop crying. 
My parents departed again seeing them in the next few months or years, maybe never. 

"come on, let's eat breakfast," the grandfather said.

Everyone was eating with white people. I sat between My Bernadette and the white kid, "hey I had a lot of fun last night" I whispered in his ears, he smiled and nods at me. While eating the white people told us that the little kid will be living with us during school breaks. They stayed for at least four days then the two older white people left but before they left I asked what the kid's name was and it was 김치상(Gim Ji Sang or Andrew). They left the kid alone with a bunch of strangers. He still didn't utter a word since he came, he smiles, nods, sleep, eats and repeat.
"May sakit ba si Andrew ate?" I asked {is Andrew sick?}

"Wala, di lang say nag Sasalita ng Tagalog at English, Korean Kasi says" {No he isn't, he just doesn't speak English and Tagalog, because he's Korean,} My sister replied. Now that I retell my story I feel like my sister is racist.

"Laro kami Kasama sila Alexander at Miguel"{gonna play with him, Alexander and Miguel} I said. My sister nods. 

after hanging out for a few days with us surprisingly he can talk little Tagalog. He's very smart for a seven-year-old kid. Learning a new language in a new environment in an instant was a good thing, that's what I thought, BEFORE, but more likely it triggered my grandfather's Chinese blood like hell.

"Mga apo, pipili kayo ng isang porma ng sining. Aaralin niyo ito ng mabuti ah"{My grandchildren, I would want you to pick one art form and study it well} My grandfather THOUGHTFULLY said 

I get to be the last 'cause I'm second to the youngest, unfortunately, the youngest was just born this June so she still can't pick. everyone picked and it can't be repeated. So as I picked mine, Grandfather Tae stopped me and said: "I have a better idea for you".
"what is it?"
"you will study Chinese, my precious little princess"

I have no choice but to agree, you can't refuse older people, that would be considered as an act of disrespect. I had to go to China during breaks and study. That's what he told me and my parents. My very very thoughtful parents agreed to it without thinking about what I would feel. A new environment, a new language, new people. I hate it, In The Philippines, you start at 6 years old to study in an elementary since I'm still 4 I had to stay in China for 2 years and take my pre-schooling there.

They would send me to my uncle's house in Wuxi, China. He's a nice guy like my dad but he's also like my grandfather Tae, pushes you to your the limits even if it's against your will. Uncle Yeng came to pick me up early in the morning to catch the flight at 11 am. Everyone said their farewell message and I don't feel touch, I feel like crying because  I'd be far away for them for years. 
Before going Andrew hug me and said "don't forget me when you go to China and Thank you for teaching me Tagalog, I'll wait for you, Pia. Let's play again when you get back, alright?".Their cold hugs, my cold stare and my bestfriend.

It took them great effort to finally understand Anthony's awkward phrasing, as the translation produced by mobile software were grammatically incorrect…
In the sewers, they exchanged a startled look. It was their first time hearing that CTALI was applicable in underground transport as well… Are you dead broke? You must be, right?!
Deep sea white sand was nothing ordinary, and every earth-type Metahuman would die to obtain it. But why had it become a caption tool in this pro's hands…
Usually, the various organizations would treat each other with courtesy, as the top survival strategy in this era was to have fewer enemies and focus more on strengthening one's own power. But now, they had run into an unreasonable yet invincible rival. Who could they find for help?
At first, Lu Xiaoyu was annoyed that someone wanted to peek on them inside their safe house. But he thoughts had changed. Now she only wanted to rob them…
Although Lu Shu had given her enough pocket money and even his debit card was with her, she felt guilty for spending Lu Shu's hard-earned cash. When they went shopping, she would still pick cheaper products.
Lu Shu labored arduously day after day, so how could she squander it away? Lu Xiaoyu had decided that she would earn money herself!
Moreover, she had always wanted to treat Lu Shu to a meal and had cast her eyes on a supreme buffet in Luo City priced at 300 yuan each.
However, how could she treat him with his money? Unwilling to do so, she had started to make money on her own…
While Anthony was counting the money, Lu Xiaoyu was elated in her room. No wonder Lu Shu was so fond of making money, as the happiness attached was so profound… 
With so many different currencies, she had to get them exchanged at the bank. But Lu Xiaoyu was not in a rush.
The line of Metahumans were beginning to have doubts about their lives when the pro began counting money like a kid. It was probably the Class B with the most unique personality that they had ever met…
Just how poor are you?!
The expert's mysterious image had fallen flat in their mind…
Despite coming from various countries, English was a universally understood language for most Practitioners. After all, unlike Lu Xiaoyu who had spent most of her time in China, proficiency in English was a necessary skill for those risking their lives on the international arena.
Meanwhile, the deep sea white sand had rearranged into another line of software-translation-styled English. "I will give you something in exchange." 
Instantly, everyone held their breaths in surprise. Was the pro suddenly being generous and intended on teaching them some earth-type secret skills? Or was it a recipe to Class B?
If not, it would be good to simply leave a positive impression so that the pro might provide some protection in the remains. In that case, they would be much safer, as there were a total of only eleven Class B experts in all of Pattaya.
Everyone looked at Anthony expectantly, but the latter remained still for a long moment. After pondering for up to two minutes and one minute for the translation tool to finish its job, another line appeared. "Since you are entering the remains soon…"
Everyone lit up, as expected, the pro was about to…
But before they could jump in joy, the sand had rearranged. "then i will grant you 365 wishes."
What bloody 365 wishes?! They felt insulted intellectually…
The thing was, how many days would they spend in the remains? 365 wishes were totally more than enough…
At the same time, Lu Shu was still looking closely at his background panel in an attempt to make some deductions about the real-time situations based on the fluctuation in distress points. Just when there was a hint at calming down, another surge appeared, which brought Lu Shu into reflection again…
Then, he finally realized something was off. Turning to Lu Xiaoyu's room, he demanded, "Where is Anthony? Did you let him out for a fight?!"
Lu Xiaoyu's smiling eyes squeezed into two little crescents, "Don't worry. Everything is under control!"
Lu Shu, "…"
An awful hunch reminded Lu Shu that the entire city went into upheaval the last time Lu Xiaoyu said so…
At this moment, Anthony rose from the surface, with a handful of change in his hands, including Korean Won, Japanese Yen, US Dollars and Euros…
Lu Shu drew a startled breath, "How many people did you rob? What are you up to!?"
"To treat you to a meal," Lu Xiaoyu said as though it was only natural, "I heard there's a new buffet restaurant with high ratings. This is my own money!"
Lu Shu mused for a long while, suddenly understanding Lu Xiaoyu's intentions. Meanwhile, he never cared about where the money was from…
He smiled, "Then we must have something superlative."
"Of course!" Lu Xiaoyu was happy to finally have the ability to earn money on her own. Although she did not do it lawfully, it was her private savings after all.
Ever since they embarked on the journey of revenge, both of them had experienced certain changes in their personality. To put it more accurately, it was more of a liberation than change.
...
In the end, Li Yixiao could not sell all their magical stones. Not because of the language barrier, though, but he was unhappy about the local price range. In China, the market price for a stone would be stabilized at around 120,000 yuan. But here, taking currency exchange rates into consideration, it was only 80,000 yuan each. Thus, Li Yixiao decided to hold onto his stones after selling only one.
Instead of returning to the market, Lu Shu immediately phoned the old man. After careful consideration, he made up his mind to resell his stones and the eleven petals through the Golden Foundation. Although particularly valuable, they were useless in his hands.
Thus, Lu Shu would rather exchange it for practical combat effectiveness.
The old man did not question him about the origin of his resources, nor his plan. Lu Shu only asked to trade his twenty-five magical stones and eleven petals for forty-five ragged magical weapons, as food for his divine water.
Thoroughly disappointed in his purple golden gourd, Lu Shu had no alternatives but to redirect his attention to the golden divine water. After a day's research, he realized the item might possibly be one of the three legendary divine waters.
Nonetheless, the golden divine water in history only fed on flesh and bones and was never recorded to have means to grow. But Lu Shu's water was like sulfuric acid with the ability to devour magical weapons. Maybe we should call it divine water for now.
Lu Shu had tried to touch the water himself. Interestingly, he would not be corroded, which meant more functions were available.
Despite the supreme attacking power of Corpsedog and Concealed Arrow among Class C flying daggers, Lu Shu was in need of presentable defense tools. Though powerful, his celestial cloak was never meant to be shown.
Then, a question struck him. At a time when other Class C's made use of their elemental armor and Anthony with his condensed armor made of deep sea white sand, he could use some help from his divine water!
With the golden divine water outside, coating the celestial cloak inside, his defense abilities would be greatly boosted!
Truth be told, Lu Shu was indeed envious of Li Yixiao's tough-skinned and unkillable Tiger Fist…
As the saying went, everything comes to he who has money…


Magical energy has come to this world; Lu Shu could only stare as one powerhouse after another appear.

Looking at his own peculiar ability, he exhaled a breath of cold air.

Dog balls!

...

This is a story of how Lu Shu used poisonous chicken soup to become the Demon King

Translator Synopsis:

Watch as Lu Shu embarks on a journey to hone his peculiar abilities together with his sister, the adorable and charismatic Lu Xiaoyu. Along the way, they’ll encounter supernatural events, obstacles and even the most powerful people in their country.

After the conclusion of the S Worlds Tournament, Demacia Cafe returned to its usual challenge matches.
The prize had accumulated to over 20,000 yuan, but not a single team has been able to beat the defending team to take the stack of cash back home.
Following the defeat of almost every team nearby, fewer and fewer bright-eyed challengers were coming in each day. The strength of the defending team had received the approval and recognition of every LOL player in the surrounding area, so not many people were willing to basically donate their money away by facing them.
Of course, Boss Lei wasn't going to let their battle stage be left idle like this.
Mr Lei was part of the Shanghai Cybercafe Association, so he spent a little money advertising their defending team at a few distinguished cybercafes and clubs in the Shanghai area. The advertisement was simple. If you could beat their defending team, the almost 30,000 yuan cash prize was yours for the taking!
A single game worth almost 30,000 yuan, who wouldn't want to try their hand at that sort of prize?
As soon as the ads were posted around Shanghai's cybercafes and gaming clubs, the manager, Xiao Duo Duo's phone, was bursting with requests for a challenge as teams from all over jumped at the opportunity to check out this so-called "undefeated" team at Demacia Cafe. Of course this included some second-rate and third-rate professional players looking for some fun.
Just by freeing up a weekend and 5,000 yuan, you could stand a chance to bring back almost sixty times your investments, and with returns as high as that, no one could resist!
During this time, Lin Dong and the rest of the team felt the obvious wave of pressure placed upon their shoulders with the sudden influx of challenging teams coming to dethrone them.
While previous challengers only knew the basics of ganking and team fights, Team Skycrown quickly realized that their current matchups were against opponents who really know how to control the game!
Their manipulation over the game was scary, using the snowball effect to try and win quickly by first pushing down a single lane and then using that advantage to take control over the entire map, eventually destroying their enemies' entire line of defense.
These teams knew that the defending team's bottom lane was their weak point, and thus, spent the majority of the game focusing on the bottom side of the map, taking turrets, claiming the Dragon, and stealing buffs. The defending team was almost tempted to surrender at the 20-minute mark.
Luckily, the 4 remaining members of Team Skycrown had the skills to backup their invincible claim, managing to always make a comeback from the worst situations to burst their opponents down during the mid to late game.
The opponents synergized well, but compared to the first-grade teams found in the LPL, they just weren't as flexible or as careful. Their two front lines, Da Luo and Zhou Yan, were always able to catch every misplay the enemy made with their deep understanding of the game's mechanics, effectively prolonging the game so that their team could scale and overpower their opposition.
During the past 6 months or so, Team Skycrown had faced teams with every fighting style you could think of, and they knew the mainstream compositions like the back of their hand, able to see through the fatal flaws of off-meta picks as well. You can't deny, some of the teams conjured up through a spark of inspiration could be pretty daunting, and apart from the calm, serious vibe that professional players let off, these teams could easily rival pro players with their skills, combos, and strange tactics!
The guys from Team Skycrown had originally thought that there wasn't much purpose in fighting these cybercafe competitions since their opponents would always be too weak.
But now, their views had shifted. With a 30,000 yuan jackpot behind them, Team Skycrown could feel the murderous glares from their opponents burn into their skulls. Just last week, some second-rate professionals had faced them, confusing Team Skycrown with unorthodox tactics and almost had them beat.
Middle lane had been pushed through, the Baron was taken, the vision in the jungle was completely controlled, and there weren't many chances for a comeback with these factors in play. If it weren't for Wu Sen and Da Luo camping in a bush near the second tower to catch the teleporting enemy Nasus, their 30,000 yuan prize would've been gone!
The teams around Shanghai weren't to be messed with. If the prize money continued to grow, with the news spreading to a few big neighboring districts and cities, catching the attention of the top players in the mainland, Team Skycrown would be through. Unless a team really had a massive gap in skill level between them and all other teams, it just wasn't feasible to try and keep up a one hundred percent win rate.

As Lin Dong, Zhou Yan, Da Luo, and Wu Sen, were fighting for their lives, being mercilessly slaughtered and left out to be eaten by vultures, all the while biting back insults and complaints so that they could eventually make a comeback during the late game, Luocheng was sitting between all of them, climbing the ranks in the Korean server without a single care in the world.
Going from Platinum to Diamond, and then from Diamond V to Diamond I, Luocheng was delighted to find shadows of Korean pro players lurking around his rank already.
People in Diamond I and II of the Korean server would already be considered top players back in China, this was in part due to them being updated at the same pace as America, but also because the Korean server was just a single server for the whole country, totally different from China which had over ten servers.
If you were to say so-and-so was the top player, the first reaction you'd get from people would be "Wow, which server are they from?", and if they were anything but Ionia, Bilgewater, or Freljord, you would be dismissed almost immediately.
But if you were to say that you were a top player in the Korea server, it wouldn't be just an abstract concept, since there was only one server, the rankings in the server could basically substitute as a nationwide skill-level ranking!
There were over 200 players who were considered to be the "top players" in the Korean server, and a lot of pro players and other top players from China often went over to the Korean server to play a bit of ranked.
Back when Cat Eye, Qiu Shenping, had gotten into one of the top player ranking spots in Korea, he had gained quite a following. After all, there were only so many spots in that ranking, and one spot taken meant one less chance for someone else to get in. For a foreigner to take that spot, wouldn't that be seen as a challenge?
However, it had been Xiao Bei who had climbed with that account, and so, after Xiao Bei had stopped playing, that account was quickly pushed out of the top rankings and Qiu Shenping eventually faded into the background of the e-sports scene.
Luocheng and Shallow Dream had a very high win-rate, and unlike others who spent a really long time trying to get into Diamond, they only used a few days.
The hardest part was getting from Diamond V to Diamond II!
The skill gap between these ranks was immense as it was saturated with main accounts and smurf accounts of pro players, there were even professional play-by-play narrators. Besides that, there were copious amounts of players from other countries here looking to learn of the newest tactics from the Koreans. A lot of team leaders like Luocheng hid around this rank and this was quite a hindrance for Luocheng and Shallow Dream.
"Mid, ADC, and Support are taken, so I'll go jungle and you go top?" Luocheng asked Shallow Dream.
Unless you typed in English, Chinese characters would all become blank squares in the Korean server. Luocheng and Shallow Dream mainly communicated through the QQ app, and though he had asked for a voice call several times now, Shallow Dream still refused him each time, and Luocheng would be lying if he said he wasn't suspicious of her identity.
"I can't Top," Shallow Dream said straightforwardly.
"It's cool, I'll camp you. You'll get fed all the same!" Luocheng announced confidently.
***
"I've seen you! I hate you!" Suddenly the enemy Top typed English words into the all chat!
Luocheng was pretty shocked. He hadn't played in the Korean servers for quite a while, and yet, he was still recognized. Had Luocheng destroyed him while he was carrying a girl? If he hadn't, why would this person keep a grudge for the better part of a year?
Luocheng replied in his fluent English, "die,ting,bu,dong,han,wen!"
(T/N: "I don't understand Korean!" in romanized Chinese.)
"…" Shallow Dream was probably in awe of Luocheng's perfect reply.
"China rat, when we were just about to obliterate you, you go and hide!?" Suddenly, this player Pakeblablablahamida said in a slew of Chinese.
Luocheng was stunned for a second, this dude spoke Chinese!? Wow!
Thinking about it further, the guy probably just used Google Translate.
Luocheng went and found his own translating website and typed a phrase, asking who he was.
"あなたは誰!"
Shallow Dream couldn't watch ant longer and messaged Luocheng on the QQ app, 'You sent that in Japanese'!
Luocheng let out an awkward laugh, "My bad, my bad, I was wondering why those words looked oddly familiar."
"Oddly familiar?" Shallow Dream didn't get what he was saying.
"Um, you're a good kid."
***
"I'm Team STG's Pake, your video made us very annoyed, you'd better cut my name out!" The enemy team sent another line of Chinese, it looked like they were really using some sort of translating app.
"What translating app are you using? It's so accurate," Luocheng asked.
Google Translate was infamously bad, basically translating word for word, class Chinese-style English, and Luocheng cringed just thinking about it.
***
Seoul, Korea.
A handsome young man with long hair opened his translation app in frustration, reading the completely unrelated question on the screen. He was this close to grinding him into the ground!
"Are you sure it's him, Mr. Park?" A blond-haired man asked from beside him.
"I'm sure, I'd recognize this ID even if I turned to dust!" Park Yisheng shouted.
It wasn't Yisheng's fault that he reacted to Luocheng's ID the same way he would react to his parents' murderer. During the new year, Yisheng had made an appearance as a famous professional player from the Korean server on a popular LOL show.
Acting as a guest, he gave the audience a play-by-play analysis of a bottom lane game and tips on how to improve. The audience had been so enthralled that they opened their books to take notes.
"Next, let's take our knowledge into a real game." Yisheng didn't know it at the time, but this sentence was the start of his nightmare.
Other show hosts would have probably gone into a custom game just to demonstrate a few techniques in a practical setting, but being as cocky as he was, Yisheng had decided to go into a ranked game, in a Platinum almost Diamond rank match.
Too bad though that that was when Luocheng and Shallow Dream were climbing. It was really just bad luck that Yisheng had queued directly into the peculiar duo of Luocheng and Shallow Dream.
The outcome was as expected, and without a good Support, Yisheng was left crying for his mom. Those Korean high schoolers who had brought all their notebooks? Their pens and their jaws were all on the floor.
Pro players hated these sorts of situations. LOL was already a 5-man game, even if they could maintain a 90 percent win rate in Plat and Diamond, there was still a solid 10 percent chance that they would throw everything, and that 10 percent just so happened to show itself during a broadcasted show. The host was at a loss for words, what could he say to save Park Yisheng from the humiliation he was inevitably going to receive for being beaten very badly.
Professional players who had appeared on the past programs had had smooth lanes, and if they lost, the host would just say so-and-so was actually really strong, it's just that their teammates were bad, once again making it clear that LOL was a team game first and foremost, relieving any awkwardness still hanging in the air from the loss.
But the thing was, Yisheng's teammates that game didn't do horribly, so for him to feed in his lane…
That was the first time in his professional career that Yisheng had made an appearance on a programme that showed his face, and when he saw the horrified expression on their faces, all he wanted was to crawl into a ditch and die.
And to add insult to injury, the video had been clipped by JX and posted onto the main page for the China area.
Luocheng obviously hadn't known that they were recording, because if he did, he wouldn't have killed them so much that they couldn't come up to soak experience.
If he knew they had been recording, Luocheng would've spawn-killed him under the fountain, duh!
Rubbing salt into wounds, that's my favourite thing!


When a national athlete of China laughs at the concept of being able to win a gold medal in video gaming, what a pro-gamer like yourself ought to do is take your size-42 shoe and measure it against his pretty face!
When parents, relatives, friends, and all the rest of society scoff at pro-gaming and say it’s not a real job… what else can you do but hold true to your passion for the competitive multiplayer scene, and resolutely turn away from their doubts!
Have you ever thought that it could actually become an official event during the Olympics, perhaps within the next four years—a game of split-second reactions and seamless teamwork between five-man squads, the ultimate test of reflexes and finesse, in an arena where players compete with all their heart and soul… 
This is e-sports!
Let the champions roar ‘Demacia!’ and rock the world to its foundations!

Min-Hyeok Kim who was drinking his glass of beer asked,
"We are in the auto parts manufacturing industry. Is it one of the items we can trade with North Korea?"
"If it is an auto part of Chinese vehicles, then yes. But it's for a part for Korean cars, then no. Currently, there is no Korean car in North Korea."
"Hmmm… What sorts of business items will be good then?"
"Construction materials are good. The last stage materials, I think you call them interior materials in Korea, right? North Korea is short of these materials. Their demands are high. I made good money last year by selling the interior materials to North Korea. I have a condo in Pyongyang and two housemaids are working for me."
"Hmmm, construction materials… What about construction heavy equipment?"
The Samchully Company's president waved his hand showing his strong opposition to the idea while having his fish dish.
"North Korea is now suffering a severe gas shortage. So, they wouldn't be able to use equipment anyway, even though they have one."
"Hmm."
"Retired tires are okay since oils can be derived from old tires."
"What about minerals? Like coal, iron, etc?"
"Minerals are good. Farm produces or fish products are good too. One thing you need to note is that these products should be exported from Nampo Port in North Korea. If you move those products to Dandong before exporting them to South Korea, then those products would become produces of China, not produces of North Korea."
"I see. So, we can get a certificate of origin with North Korea's name as long as the products leave from Nampo Port before reaching South Korea."
"That's right. Once you bring them to Dandong, you can't have your certificate of origin issued."
 
Gun-Ho felt full after having a beer with several dishes.
"Thank you for today. I've learned a lot."
"If you decide to work together, just let me know. I am highly knowledgeable about the trade with North Korea, and I know every path from Sinuiju City to Pyongyang. Also, I have a broad connection with a lot of important people in Pyongyang."
"Thank you again for staying with us until late at night."
Gun-Ho gave them the nail clipper sets he brought from Seoul, as a gift.
 
He was in a taxi heading to the hotel when he received a call from Seukang Li.
"I was wondering if you safely arrived in Korea."
"Oh, I haven't left for Korea yet. I'm in Dandong City right now."
"Dandong?"
"Yes. The deputy director of Dandong Border Economic Corporation Zone invited me to visit their development zone. So, I am on the way to the hotel after visiting him."
"Dandong Border Economic Corporation Zone is a national industrial complex."
"They are saying that if I open a business there, they will give me lots of benefits like taxes."
"Their prices for the land and labor are very reasonable; however, I'm not sure if it is the right location for an auto parts business. Auto manufacturers are all located on the east coast."
"You're right. That's why I gathered some information about a trade business with North Korea."
"A trade business?"
"That doesn't sound so promising, does it?"
"Well, I am not a businessman, but a government worker, so I don't know much about business. However, it reminded me of what the economics professor—Jien Wang said the other day."
"What did he say?"
"He said, if you want to make money, you'd better start your business in an area where money and people are driven to."
"The area where money and people are driven to… That sounds right."
Gun-Ho then thought that the Dandong area was not that kind of area.
'For now, I will have to do my business in the area where a lot of people and money are staying. I'm okay with setting my mind that I came all the way to Dandong City for a pleasure trip.'
The following day, Gun-Ho came back to Korea via Shenyang City from Dandong City, and Min-Hyeok took a direct flight from Dandong City to Shanghai.
 
When he arrived at Incheon International Airport, Gun-Ho made a call to President Jeong-Sook Shin of GH Media.
"President Shin, I just came back from China. I'm at the Incheon International Airport."
"Oh, really?"
"I asked Director Kang to get a price quote for the interior renovation of the basement space in GH Building in Sinsa Town."
"Oh, someone is moving in there? It's already rented out?"
"No. I'm thinking of opening an art gallery there as you suggested the other day."
"That's great."
"I'm planning to redo the entire interior. But since this is an art gallery, I believe the lighting is very important. I'd like to have your professional opinion on it."
"Where do we meet? I can come right now."
"If you are not busy, please come to GH Building in Sinsa Town. I think I can get there within two hours."
"Okay. I'm on my way."
 
Gun-Ho arrived at his office of GH Development in Sinsa Town.
"How are you? Is everything good here?"
"Yes, sir. Here is a price quote for the basement interior renovation. We usually get several price quotes from multiple remodeling companies, but for now, I got one from one company. So you can get a rough idea about how much it would cost to remodel that space."
"President Shin from GH Media will be here soon. She used to work in an art gallery before. I think she can give us some professional opinion and advice."
"Oh, really? She used to work at an art gallery. No wonder why she looked so sophisticated. By the way, sir, you look so tired today."
"I actually came here straight from the airport after visiting Dandong and Shengyang City in China. I guess I drank too much Chinese liquor."
The secretary—Ms. Yeon-Soo Oh brought a cup of hot green tea to Gun-Ho. After having the tea, Gun-Ho felt better.
While looking at the price quote that Director Kang brought to him, Gun-Ho commented,
"It's quite pricey."
"That's right. Because the place was used for a sauna business, there are lots of demolition works to do, according to the contractors."
While having a conversation with Director Kang, President Shin came into the office.
"Sir, you must feel very tired. You just came back from China. We could have met maybe tomorrow after you take your rest."
Secretary Yeon-Soo Oh brought another cup of green tea for President Shin and placed it on the table next to her.
"Is this lady Ms. Yeon-Soo Oh?"
"Yes, ma'am."
Yeon-Soo responded since she was standing there,
"I'm GH Media's President Shin. We spoke on the phone several times for the letters that I had to send to Amazon.com. You translated the letters into English for me. It's really nice to finally meet you in person."
"Nice to meet you, too, ma'am."
"You are not just fluent in English, but you are so pretty."
"Thank you."
"You have a nice boss, right? President Goo is a decent person."
"Yes, ma'am."
Yeon-Soo Oh smiled and left the office after giving her a deep bow.
 
I went to the Chinese avant-garde art exhibition in Shanghai."
"Oh, you did? I really wanted to go there."
"I also talked with Director Seukang Li."
"What did the two of you talked about?"
"He suggested me to host an art exhibition in Korea, on the Chinese avant-garde art with the name of GH Media."
"What? Avant-garde art exhibition here?"
President Shin's eyes widened in surprise and looked at Gun-Ho.

This is the story of a poor young man whose poverty even shreds apart their family willing to climb his way through society and into the top. A very realistic novel that moves away from fantasy and sci-fi and focuses solely on the issues of society and life.

Zhai Sheng was wearing a pair of high waist camouflaged shorts and a white cotton singlet top. His singlet was wet and slightly plastered to his body. It was most probably due to the sweating from his exercises. This made Zhai Sheng's well-defined eight-pack abs extremely pronounced, giving Qiao Nan a clear view of his abdomen.
Zhai Sheng's current attire basically showed all of his legs that were below his waist.
Even the long-legged Korean 'oppas' from the 21st century were not as eye-catching as Zhai Sheng.
Qiao Nan already knew that Zhai Sheng was tall, but she did not expect that his legs were so long and he was that tall…
In particular, when she saw Zhai Sheng with his two arms exposed and the sweat flowing down his neck, she felt her nose warming up. She quickly lifted her head, muttering 'Amitabha' and other similar charms in her heart to clear her mind.
The Zhai Sheng at this moment was obviously a mobile masculine-hormone-dispensing machine. He was too tempting.
Qiao Nan never felt like a lecherous girl before. In her previous life, she was someone with a pure heart and few desires up till her death. Qiao Nan never had a day where she yearned for a man, and neither did she think of sexual-related services.
However, when she saw Zhai Sheng today, she felt the impulse to jump on him. When she looked at the sweat flowing down Zhai Sheng's neck, she even had the desire to lick them dry.
The realization hit Qiao Nan hard with a bang, her face beet red.
"What is the matter?" There were beads of sweat at the tips of Zhai Sheng's hair. Zhai Sheng was used to the training in the army. Hence, he had never slackened off even when he was home. "Come in with me to the house first."
Zhai Sheng wanted to go closer to Qiao Nan, but when she saw Qiao Nan's eyes avoiding him and seemingly afraid of looking at him, he hesitated.
Did the smell of sweat on his body make Qiao Nan feel repulsive?
In the army, everyone stinks. Who didn't sweat a few times a day? The smell of the sweat was so strong and repulsive. Zhai Sheng was already used to this. However, Qiao Nan was not a soldier in the army. Moreover, she was just a young lady and probably not used to this smell.
"Wait for me for a moment. I will go and take a shower." Zhai Sheng, who had been used to such sloppiness, was always meticulous before Qiao Nan. He misunderstood the reason why Qiao Nan dared not look at him. Once Zhai Sheng entered the house, he went to his bedroom and took a bath within five minutes. He changed into clean ones before coming out.
This time, Zhai Sheng was not wearing the white cotton singlet which revealed his arms and abs, but a long-sleeved shirt which covered him up well.
At the sight of Zhai Sheng all tightly wrapped up, Qiao Nan's eyes were full of regret.
If she had known that Brother Zhai would be changing into this, she should have taken a few more glances earlier. What a loss!
In the past, Qiao Nan did not understand why men were so interested in those magazines which pictured women in revealing attires. They tended to carry and read them all day long, occasionally letting out lewd sounds. Now, Qiao Nan understood them a little.
Who would have thought that the day would come when she would actually like to 'look' at a man!
"Cough…" When she realized that her thoughts were straying to the point of being censored to those below eighteen years of age, Qiao Nan's face became as red as an apple. She was too embarrassed to look at Zhai Sheng. "Brother Zhai, did you pass the wrong documents to me? Are these not things that I am not supposed to see?"
Qiao Nan had her head bowed. She only dared to look at the tip of Zhai Sheng's shoes and not anywhere else. She was fearful that her thoughts would go astray when she saw other things and became a lecherous woman.
She was never like that in the past!
"You have already translated a part of it?" Zhai Sheng's muscular arms reached out. He placed the original document and its translation together. As he read them, there were frequent flashes of surprise in his eyes.
During the past year, he did not have many opportunities to interact with Qiao Nan. He knew Qiao Nan's English was not bad, but she was only a student who was entering high school. Qiao Nan's standard of English had far exceeded his expectations.
Zhai Sheng's initial thoughts were that the Qiao family was in need of money, and Qiao Nan's mother was a capricious character. Given the situation, Qiao Nan certainly did not have sufficient money to continue with her studies.
He could not simply give her money, so he found Qiao Nan a relaxing way to earn money lest Qiao Nan refused.
If Qiao Nan's translation did not meet the mark, he would definitely guide her along to help her correct and edit her work.
However, after he saw the translated work, Zhai Sheng realized that he would be of no use now.
"It is quite well translated. Qiao Nan, your standard of English seems to be better than the average college students. Do you have anything to tell me?" Zhai Sheng's eyes, as black and deep as a gem with glistening waves of light, narrowed. His long and slender body leaned backward slightly. Both his arms were crossed as if he was a lazy leopard concealing the shrewdness in his eyes.
If the prey loosened their guard because of this relaxed posture of Zhai Sheng, there would be an outburst of strength and lethality from Zhai Sheng's powerful and strong muscles. Zhai Sheng would pounce and break the neck of his prey with one bite.
Qiao Nan shivered, her face turning pale. She was scared. "Brother Zhai, can I not tell? Anyway, I have not done anything bad, neither have I harmed anyone."
She was too careless. What type of character was Brother Zhai? If he could not discover this little flaw, how could he have become one of the country's premier characters in the previous life?
"You don't want to tell me? Well, you can choose not to." Having realized that he had scared the young lady, Zhai Sheng relaxed a little and put away the tactic he used on his enemy. He softened his tone. "But you must know, Qiao Nan. I may not ask you today, but it doesn't mean someone else will not suspect anything when they discover it tomorrow."
"Brother Zhai, don't worry, I understand. If these documents were not given by Brother Zhai, I would not have translated them. Usually, when I am in school, I would at most use some advance vocabulary occasionally but not much. I have never done anything bad!"
Qiao Nan quickly assured Zhai Sheng that she was very careful and alert before others. She dared not give herself away too much lest someone became suspicious of her.
Being reborn—that was such an incredulous thing. If anyone knew about it, she would definitely be captured, sent to the lab, and dissected like a white mouse.
She was so blessed and lucky to have a second life. Qiao Nan could only cherish her life a hundred—no, a thousand times more than her previous life.
To her, only Zhai Sheng was unique. In front of Zhai Sheng, Qiao Nan would unconsciously be her real self without any reservation.
How could Zhai Sheng not understand the meaning of Qiao Nan's words?
Somehow, Zhai Sheng, who usually did not like listening to glib words, had a sweet feeling in his heart after listening to Qiao Nan's words. It was a very pleasant feeling.
That being said, he was the only one who had a unique existence in Qiao Nan's heart, was he not?
The corners of Zhai Sheng's mouth curled upward slightly into a little smile. "It is good that you know what you are doing."


Qiao Nan: Crap! I am your biological daughter, yet I am treated as if I was picked up from the streets. In fact, you treat me worse than that!

Mother Qiao: Qiao Nan, you are not as pretty or smart as your elder sister. You are not as blessed as her. You have no right to study, marry, or to have your happiness!

Qiao Nan: Why am I not allowed to study, marry, or to seek my happiness? I will find a man right now and marry him!

Qiao Nan is dumbstruck upon discovering that the man right beside her is a powerful figure in the quad—the person who has the most promising prospects to be the future Chief.

Qiao Nan stares at the well-built man in front of her. He has firm abs and cold, chilling eyes. She swallows the lump in her throat as she says her greetings, "Good Morning, Chief!"

Jackson ran out of the warehouse with Halia in his arms. She had been unwell since they were on the plane that morning so he began to worry. Was she sick? Was it something serious? Or was she hurt during the fight with Eagle?
As he exited, he spotted a familiar figure waiting for them inside a car. Although he was tempted for a moment to run away with the money that Eagle gave him, Herman Song thought about all the trouble he had caused and decided to stick by what he had promised and wait outside. 
"Mr. Song, you have made the right choice," Jackson said briefly as he walked past. 
"I hope so," Herman replied as he watched Jackson carry Halia into his car. "Is something wrong with Mrs. Wu?"
A moment later, Kwon approached the two men and said, "I will take Eagle and his assistant straight to the Interpol office. With so many witnesses and evidence, they won't be able to deny their crimes even if they have any other insiders. Mr. Song, you can come with me. You are vital in apprehending them."
Even though he was confused, Herman nodded his head and followed Kwon to his car.
As soon as Kwon started the car, Herman asked, "Is something wrong with Mrs. Wu? Did she get hurt?"
Kwon shrugged, "We're not sure yet. Jackson is taking her to the hospital to check." 
Herman frowned and turned around to look at Jackson's car worriedly. If they were really to become family like Jackson said, then Halia was family too. Kwon looked at the man and smiled. This man actually had a heart.
"Why did you turn back to crime when you were released? You don't seem all that bad. Wasn't 6 years in prison enough of a lesson for you?" he couldn't help but ask.
Herman sighed turned back to the front and replied, "I had no other means for survival. It's all I've ever done and it's the only thing I know how to do. Plus, with my history, who would hire an ex-convict?"
Kwon glanced at the man. He could tell he wasn't a completely bad guy, he simply thought he had no choice. Kwon once felt the same way and he had met many people that felt that way too, but he knew now that there was definitely a choice.
"When you get released from prison this time, come look for me at the 'Second Life Bar' in Itaewon. I will find you a job and help you get back on your feet," Kwon offered.
Herman turned his head and looked at the man in surprise. As he looked at him in detail, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
"Have we met before? Why are you helping me?" Herman asked.
Kwon focused on the road in front of him and smiled, "We met briefly about 7-8 years ago..."
Herman thought carefully and scanned his eyes across the man with curiosity. That was when he noticed there was a tattoo wrapped around his wrist. 
A dragon's tail!
However, the tattoo had been reworked a little and there were lotus flowers around the base of the tail. Lotus flowers were a symbol of purity; of rising from the darkness. Just like the way that a lotus flower emerged from muddy waters unscathed, it seemed, this man had emerged from prison and started a new life.
Kwon saw the man look at his tattoo and smiled. With one swift movement, he lifted his sleeve so the man could have a better look. As expected, the base of the tattoo was exactly the same as Herman's. It was the same dragon from the same artist. The only difference was, Kwon's tattoo had been reworked to convey a completely different meaning. Not only did the dragon look like it was emerging with the lotus flowers, the white pearl in its mouth was transformed into a Yin-Yang symbol and its body was surrounded by splashes of water. The dark, dull underworld tattoo was now a piece of art with multiple meanings. Like a dragon emerging from the darkness (the lotus), Kwon was cleansed (by water) and had reached a balance in life (the Yin-Yang symbol).
At that moment, Herman suddenly remembered the man. 7-8 years ago, when Kwon was in his early 20's, he accompanied his boss to meet with Herman. He was a foul-mouthed, arrogant punk at that time, but now, that scrawny little troublemaker had turned into a mature businessman that owned one of the most popular bars in Itaewon.
Hope glittered in Herman's eyes. Kwon was the perfect example of someone that had picked himself up, turned a new leaf, and started a new life. If this man could do it, then he could do it too...
...
Meanwhile, Jackson and Halia arrived at the nearest hospital they could find. Kwon had left one of his boys with them to help with translation if needed and the young man quickly got one of the doctors to check on Halia. The young man's name was Lucas. He was only 18, but he could already converse perfectly in Korean, Mandarin, and English.
As Jackson and the young man waited outside for the doctors to run a thorough checkup on Halia, Jackson asked Lucas with interest, "How did you end up working for Kwon?"
He knew that Kwon generally hired ex-convicts, reformed gangsters, and troubled teens, but this young man looked clean-cut and well educated. What was his story?
Lucas smiled, "I met him when I was 15. I ran away from home because my father was a drug addict and I ended up on the streets. If Kwon didn't happen to walk past me one day, I may have joined a gang to survive. Kwon practically raised me like a younger brother. He gave me a place to stay, he found me a part-time job at a convenience store, and he paid for my tuition fees so I could continue studying. Since his bar is in Itaewon, I decided to repay him by studying languages. That way, I can help with the foreigners that visit. I'll be working there starting from this summer when I turn 19."
Jackson nodded proudly, Kwon had turned into such a great person and he was happy for him.
At that moment, the door to the doctor's room finally opened and Halia walked back out.
The doctor looked at Lucas and said a few things in Korean. Although she knew some basic English, it was easier to explain Halia's condition in her mother tongue, so she let the young man do the translating instead.
Lucas nodded his head as he listened. The doctor seemed to be saying a lot and it made the couple anxious. They even saw Lucas furrow his brows at one point. Was Halia's condition serious?
Finally, after what seemed like forever, the doctor finished speaking and Lucas bowed politely at the middle-aged woman. He then turned to the couple and said, "The doctor told Mrs. Wu to go home and get some rest. Don't strain your body too much, remember to eat breakfast, have foods with fiber if you can, take some iron and folic acid vitamins, eat about two meals of fish or shellfish a week, stay away from soft cheeses and lunch meat, limit caffeine and avoid alcohol..."
Lucas listed all the things that the doctor had told him, but the couple were getting impatient. "Stop, Lucas! Can you tell us what the diagnosis is first? Is it something serious?" Jackson finally interrupted.
Lucas looked at the anxious couple and shook his head, "The doctor said...Mrs. Wu is pregnant..."


The first time they met, she was a clueless nurse at the hospital...
The second time they met, she was a bartender at his favorite bar...
The third time they met, she was his brother's love interest...
He didn't know what she'd be the fourth time they met, but he had to make her his wife...
---

But, what other dangers will it attract?
