章節 43: 43
43. Prophet
"I'm the person who won the lottery 1st prize 5 times in a row."
"What?"
Ma Gyeong-rok's eyes widened at Ryumin's confession.
Unlike before, it was a genuinely surprised look.
"Really? You're that winner who caused a stir a few months ago?"
"Yes."
"Wow..."
It wasn't just Ma Gyeong-rok.
An Sang-cheol beside him also had a considerably surprised expression.
-This kid is the one who monopolized 70 billion won from the lottery?
The two now understood.
How Ryumin could have such wealth at such a young age.
"But Mr. Ryu Min. When I saw the article, it said 70 billion won? How did you get such a large sum of 280 billion..."
"I dabbled a bit in Bitcoin."
"Bitcoin? Is that all?"
"Yes."
He made 280 billion from 70 billion won earned through the lottery?
At those words, Ma Gyeong-rok's eyes changed.
-Everyone who should know knows Bitcoin is unstable. It's impossible without considerable nerve and guts.
Thinking he was bolder than his image suggested, Ma Gyeong-rok couldn't help but admire him.
"That's really amazing. How did you think to invest 70 billion in Bitcoin... I couldn't have done that. Haha!"
Perhaps displeased that the CEO he served was putting himself down?
An Sang-cheol frowned and blurted out a comment.
"You must have been very lucky."
"It wasn't luck."
When Ryumin immediately refuted, An Sang-cheol looked at him with displeasure.
"I saw in the article. You said the lottery numbers were revealed in a dream. If that's not luck, what is it..."
"It wasn't revealed in a dream."
"Then...?"
Ryumin paused briefly and turned his gaze.
Ma Gyeong-rok was waiting for his answer with expectant eyes.
'To convince Ma Gyeong-rok and make him my ally, this is the only way.'
After taking a deep breath, Ryumin gave the answer he had prepared.
"This is the first time I'm revealing this to others... I have the [Rune of Future Vision]."
"Excuse me?"
"It's a rune that allows me to see the future up to several years ahead. In other words, I..."
Ryumin said with clear pronunciation.
"I'm saying I'm a prophet who can see the future."
"..."
"..."
Silence fell over the room for a moment.
-What did I just hear?
-A prophet? What nonsense is this kid talking about...
The silence was only not allowed for Ryumin who could read thoughts.
Ma Gyeong-rok, who came to his senses, barely opened his mouth.
"A prophet... Are you being serious?"
"Why would I lie?"
"Are you saying you predicted the lottery numbers because you saw the future with this Rune of Future Vision?"
"That's right. It's the same with multiplying money through Bitcoin. I was able to put in all the money because I was certain I could see the future."
"..."
In fact, it was a future he knew through dozens of regressions...
'Whether this or that, it's the same in terms of knowing the future.'
So it wasn't entirely a lie.
Even so.
-Can I believe what this person is saying?
-Rune of Future Vision. Is there really such an amazing rune?
The two were still unable to let go of their doubts.
"If it's not rude, can you prove it?"
"Prove it?"
"Like predicting what I'll do in a moment..."
Ryumin, who read Ma Gyeong-rok's thoughts, laughed inwardly.
'It would be easy to guess the next action since I can read thoughts, but...'
He shook his head, as it was better to put restrictions on his ability for later.
"I'm sorry, but the ability can't be used so casually. It manifests without my knowing."
"You mean it's random?"
"Yes."
-Well, if it's a rune that sees the future, that level of restriction makes sense for balance.
While Ma Gyeong-rok was thinking that, a thought suddenly crossed his mind.
"Mr. Ryu Min. Then don't tell me you invested such a large sum of 280 billion in our company because..."
"Yes. I invested knowing Cheonma Consulting would grow rapidly in the future."
"Rapid growth to what extent..."
"Within half a year, you can easily achieve KOSPI listing."
"...!"
A surprised look flashed across Ma Gyeong-rok's face.
How great would it be if that happened?
Not only would he gain his father's recognition of his abilities, but he could also adjust the proportion of inheritance.
Succeeding as chairman afterwards would be a natural course.
The corners of Ma Gyeong-rok's mouth rose slightly, but only briefly.
-I must be crazy for a moment. Smiling at information I don't even know is true or not.
Still, being told his company would do well made Ma Gyeong-rok feel good.
Until Ryumin uttered his next words.
"However, to succeed, you need to completely overhaul the business sector."
"Excuse me? The business sector?"
Cheonma Consulting is a company that helps with consulting in various fields including corporate, construction, hospitals, real estate, management, employment, and startups.
It's a company Ma Gyeong-rok specially created to utilize the information and know-how of Osung Group, which has expanded into various fields.
Therefore, saying to change the business sector was like saying to destroy the tower he had built up so far.
For Ma Gyeong-rok, it was a situation where he had to put down his pride.
Perhaps because he knew this fact well?
An Sang-cheol's voice grew louder.
"That's an unreasonable demand! Changing the business sector at this point? Why don't you say we should change the company name too?"
"Director An!"
Ma Gyeong-rok reprimanded him from the side, but their thoughts weren't much different.
Ryumin spoke in a calm voice.
"Since the business sector is changing, of course the company name should change too."
"What? Are you serious?"
"Do I look like I came all this way to joke?"
Ryumin stared intently at An Sang-cheol who was refuting.
Unlike his naive appearance earlier, his gaze was unwavering.
'It's good to show such a resolute appearance when appealing my ability. It makes me look more reliable.'
As Ryumin expected, Ma Gyeong-rok's thoughts changed.
-The atmosphere has changed. There's no wavering in his eyes. Does that mean he's that confident in his ability? This absurd ability to see the future?
Ma Gyeong-rok corrected his thoughts.
-No, that's not necessarily true. Now that reality has been transcended, I can't conclude there's no Rune of Future Vision. Then does it really mean my company can succeed if we just change the business sector?
Ma Gyeong-rok thought.
If that were the case, he would change the business sector without a second word.
-The problem is I can't distinguish whether this person's words are true or nonsense.
As Ma Gyeong-rok made a troubled expression, Ryumin persuaded again.
"As players yourselves, you both know well. How much of a loss and penalty it is to reveal your rune."
"..."
"I've taken that risk and revealed my rune. As a major shareholder, and as a business partner who will participate in management in the future, I want to help the company grow. Why else would I have invested 280 billion?"
Though he tried to persuade them, the two still seemed unable to believe and sent suspicious glances.
"To make the company succeed, you need to take my hand."
"CEO. Surely you don't believe those words?"
At An Sang-cheol's words, Ryumin sighed softly.
"It seems you don't trust my ability."
"Honestly, that's right."
Words alone won't persuade them.
'I knew this would happen, so I prepared various things.'
Now it's time to show the evidence.
"Director An Sang-cheol. Have you thought about how I moved to the downstairs apartment? You don't think it was just a coincidence, do you?"
"Ah...!"
"Wait a moment. Downstairs apartment?"
Ma Gyeong-rok looked at An Sang-cheol as if hearing it for the first time.
"Director An? What's this about? Downstairs apartment?"
"Ah, CEO, that's..."
An Sang-cheol told Ma Gyeong-rok about encountering Ryumin.
"Mr. Ryu Min lives in the floor below actress Seo Arin's penthouse?"
"Yes, I moved in January this year. Just days after obtaining the Rune of Future Vision."
Ma Gyeong-rok's head turned to An Sang-cheol.
"Director An. Why are you only telling me this now?"
"I-I only found out about it today too."
Moving to the neighbor's house of someone related to a company you're going to invest in?
It's impossible without knowing the future.
-No. It's not impossible. Anyone who knows I'm sponsoring Seo Arin could move to the neighboring house.
Despite Ryumin's persuasion, Ma Gyeong-rok didn't easily believe.
'Right, this much isn't enough.'
Ryumin, who had anticipated this, pulled out his next card.
"You look like you don't believe me. Then how about this?"
Ryumin smiled.
"This hotel we're in now, it's owned by CEO Ma Gyeong-rok, right?"
"..."
"And CEO Ma Gyeong-rok's true identity is the eldest son of Osung Group."
"..."
"And Cheonma Consulting is also a company you secretly established to gain your father's approval, right?"
Even though he should have been dizzy from the 3-hit combo revealing his identity.
Ma Gyeong-rok didn't fall for it easily.
Rather, An Sang-cheol stood up excitedly.
"You! Who instigated you? Information that can't be known unless you're a relative..."
"Director An. Please calm down."
An Sang-cheol calmed his anger and sat down.
Unlike him, Ma Gyeong-rok's tone was calm.
"Yes, it's all correct. But it's not convincing enough to say you found out by seeing the future. As Director An said, it's information anyone who's a relative could know."
"..."
"I'm sorry, but it doesn't resonate with me. To be honest, I feel like someone else instigated you to trap me. There are some people who want me to fail."
A self-deprecating smile hung on Ma Gyeong-rok's lips.
"Changing the business sector by trusting the major shareholder in this situation? You know without me saying, right? How absurd that sounds."
"..."
"I can't accept it even if you're the major shareholder with 51%. Of course, your words are quite persuasive. But you have to admit there are holes too, right?"
Ryumin just listened quietly without answering.
"I want to believe the Rune of Future Vision exists too. Really. Who wouldn't want a way for their company to grow? I'd follow even if I had to break the signboard."
"..."
"But Mr. Major Shareholder Ryu Min's words are hard to believe. I'm grateful you invested in our company, but I think we need to hold a shareholders' meeting to review the agenda. It's up to you to convince the other shareholders."
Ma Gyeong-rok buttoned his suit jacket as if about to stand up.
"I'm sorry I can't be of help. Then I'll take my leave first."
"Just a moment, CEO."
At Ryumin's call, Ma Gyeong-rok sat back down.
"Do you have something else to say?"
'Is there no choice but this method in the end?'
Ryumin, who had been acting like he was stalling, carefully opened his mouth.
"Then how about this?"
"What?"
"I'll give you information about Round 4."
"Round 4...?"
Not just Ma Gyeong-rok, but even An Sang-cheol's eyes widened.
"You have information about Round 4 too?"
"Yes. I saw it all with future vision. What tragedy unfolds."
Looking at the two surprised people, Ryumin smiled.
"Is this information enough to prove my ability?"
