“This is ridiculous…! How could this happen!”

Sonagi looked twice in surprise at the CMP (Cult of the Mara-Papiyas) gang members who were dancing in front of him, once with the pistol in his hand.

They had moderately swollen, muscular bodies and moved their arms lightly to get into position.

They swung their arms around in a flashy manner as if they were about to throw a cool flying kick at the raindrops. They looked like martial artists who wouldn’t be out of place in a martial arts novel.

‘What the heck are these kids…’

Is it possible to do something like that without a brain chip? Ji-hoon honestly couldn’t believe what he saw with his own eyes.

“Really…”

As if in disbelief, Sonagi aims her gun at the men again.

─Tang tang!

The men dodge Sonagi’s attack once again. But Sonagi had it in her sights. Even if they could dodge the flying bullets, it wouldn’t be an easy task.

It is clear that you have to concentrate or move your body a lot.

“Ugh…!”

“Haha! This level of attack can’t hurt the little people!”

The CMP members, who had been smiling and dodging the pistols with fancy moves, took up their positions again.

Maybe it was a martial art that took the shape of an animal, like a locust or a dog? To Ji-hoon, who didn’t know much about martial arts, it felt like… these were men who were taking on ridiculous poses.

“Misters.”

Sonagi smiled at the men and took out the minigun on his back, holding it with both hands and aiming it.

“…”

The men who posed so nicely were momentarily speechless. It might be different with a pistol. It’s a different story with a minigun.

It would be impossible to dodge even a submachine gun, but it was physically impossible to dodge a minigun. The rain didn’t spare him any mercy, turning his cyberware eyes red.

“Avoid this too.”

Strengthening both legs and arms in an instant, Sonagi pulled the trigger without hesitation.

“Hey, wait! That’s everywhere you look!”

“People live-!”

─Wooow!

For less than ten seconds, the minigun whirrs around, spewing a huge plume of red flame from its muzzle.

Can you dodge an attack from something that can fire 4,000 rounds per second? It’s not just one or two bullets flying at you, it’s at least 30 bullets flying at you in a split second?

It’s impossible.

Ji-hoon didn’t even need to check the screen properly.

“Whew….. Wow, there’s a lot of blood… .”

Sonagi lightly pulled the trigger of the minigun, clicking his tongue at the pain in his shoulder that was rising, and lightly shook his hand.

What have the CMP gang members, who were just standing there like martial arts masters, become like?

No one would want to know the details of that.

* * * * * * *

“Oh my… Oh my…”

In Sonagi and Jihoon’s hands, who returned smiling, were cyberware implants with complicated model names that Hong Seoyeon had requested.

After completely killing the fake martial arts masters, Sonagi had no more troubles.

The huge turret installed as a last resort was automatically disabled the moment Ji-Hoon lightly tapped the HUD, and the CMP gang members who were planning to fight until the end ran away as soon as they saw Sonagi’s large and cool minigun.

“Thank you..! Oh my, thank you…”

Grandpa Im’s mouth corners went up and he clapped his hands excitedly. As soon as he saw Ji-hoon and So-na-gi’s wonderful return, he immediately sent the drones to the warehouse.

He was very happy because he was finally able to sell the items he had been unable to sell even when customers came.

‘This old man… he’s not telling the merchants around here that he can now use the items in the warehouse…’

It will be known someday, but in this short period of time, Grandpa Lim will be able to sell quite a bit of inventory. He may even be able to get a little more money.

To be honest, no matter where you looked, it was a situation where he was greatly benefited, but Ji-hoon looked at his face and coughed slightly, wondering if that was the case.

“Grandpa.”

“Oh, oh, right. I guess I’m a little crazy. Those are the things you said you needed.”

Grandpa Im nodded with a smile, and Sonagi smiled as she quietly handed the huge minigun back to him after hearing those words.

“Thanks to Grandpa, I’m glad I got this item without having to go anywhere…”

If you can’t give it away for free, at least give it a discount.

Although Sonagi didn’t say anything out loud, she met Grandpa Im’s eyes with a bright smile.

“Heh, heh heh…”

He smiles briefly, his cyberware eyes turning red, snaps his fingers a few more times, and claps his hands loudly.

“Okay, okay. Anyway, no one will buy these things.. I’m not the one who specifically…”

“Specially?”

Jihoon is also a little excited. Since you said “special”, wouldn’t you at least give a 50% discount?

“Looking at Sonagiyang’s face… and also beating up those damn CMP gangsters…”

He was strangely hesitant, but he was quickly selling off his items at this very moment. The items were delivered by drone anyway.

It’s a simple process of checking your items in the warehouse and using the drone you have to deliver them immediately. It’s done automatically without having to touch the HUD much…

“Haha, let me give you these cyberware implants for free.”

“Oh.. Oh! What is it, Grandpa? You must have made a lot of money?”

Sonagi laughs openly and picks up a handful of items that she had placed on the desk.

“Hehehe, what the heck… hehe…”

He acted as if he hadn’t earned much, but his face was already bright and cheerful.

“What.. Grandpa, thank you.”

Ji-hoon didn’t get angry or negotiate for more. Grandpa Im’s eyes were constantly shining red, and before he knew it, he was sitting down and his fingers were naturally touching something.

“Jihoon, let’s go out. I guess grandpa is working. Grandpa, should we go?”

“Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wherever you go… Don’t say anything.”

“Yes~”

Sonagi gave a vague answer and signaled to Jihoon to leave quickly.

Ji-hoon naturally picked up the things he had brought with both hands, greeted Grandpa Im one last time, closed the door, and went out.

“Hoo…”

Now all you have to do is go back.

He smiled and headed towards the elevator, quite satisfied with the fact that he had solved the problem without spending any money or bothering anyone.

“…Ah, mister! mister! Please…! Please save us!”

Just as he was about to get on the elevator with such a happy heart, Ji-hoon stopped walking when he heard a woman’s voice coming from far away.

“Hmm…”

Could it be the woman from earlier? Her face looked a little different, but I couldn’t tell because I didn’t scan it accurately.

Still, looking at the woman kneeling in front of the illegal ripper and begging for her life, Ji-hoon had a thousand thoughts.

“Hey.. Nagiya.”

“Uh, why?”

“What are the chances that women who cry like that can live a normal life?”

“…No way, even if you’re lucky and get a job selling eyeglasses, you’ll get ripped off and won’t even make 100,000 won if you work all day, right?”

Ji-hoon clicked his tongue at Sonagi’s words.

“Well… Well, anyway, it’s money that Hong Seo-yeon gave me to buy things…”

It wasn’t enough money to go to the supermarket and buy a carton of eggs or a glass of milk. For some people, it was an amount that could have cost them their lives.

“You…”

Ji-hoon deposited the money into the account of the woman who was crying and holding onto Ripperdoc’s feet, begging him to spare her life, without hesitation.

He turned around without hesitation, having done the laundry and deposited the money several times without anyone knowing who he was.

“Hey, do you know who that woman is? Don’t you feel sorry for her?”

“Hey, if Hong Seo-yeon left the money anyway, would you give it to me? Ask her to return it.”

“Still…”

The raindrop looks at the woman in the distance as if it is a waste.

The woman who had been crying suddenly trembled in shock when a large sum of money came in, and for a moment, her eyes met with Ji-hoon’s.

“Thank you-”

Ji-hoon turned around before he could hear the rest of the story. It wasn’t that he wanted to do something good, nor was he hungry for words of thanks.

“Let’s go, Nagiya.”

“You, with that money, you can get women… . Ugh, that’s enough. Sometimes when I see you, you say that kid is kind in a strange way?”

“Hey… I can’t help it.”

Ji-hoon said with a bitter smile.

“If I hadn’t met you, wouldn’t it have been worse? I would have been caught by those bastards and died with my insides ripped out.”

“Hey, then you should do something nice for me. Why are you doing something nice for that girl? You’re an idiot. ”

As Sonagi pouts her lips and says something, Jihoon shamelessly kisses her on the mouth.

“Ugh…”

Goosebumps. I turned my head to the side as if I didn’t like the rain, but I actually liked it.

This isn’t so bad, Sonagi thought, pressing the button to go up to the ground with her little finger.

* * * * * * * * *

“Ah… I thought it wouldn’t be easy to get… Honey, thank you for your hard work. And…”

Hong Seo-yeon, who was surprisingly wearing overalls and doing construction work properly, was smiling while looking at Ji-hoon and Sonagi who appeared in a truck.

“You said Mr. Sonagi, right? I’m sorry my husband made me work without giving me money.”

“No. I’ve been friends with Jihoon since a long time ago, so this doesn’t matter. We’re childhood friends.”

“Childhood…?”

Hong Seo-yeon looks at Ji-hoon in surprise. He nods silently. If they were childhood friends, he would feel like an idiot for getting angry at each other for calling each other by our names last time.

Hong Seo-yeon’s face turned red and she didn’t know what to do, but Sonagi smiled and waved her hand at her.

“In the old days, people would strip naked and wash together in the bathhouse, but these days, there is no such thing, so don’t worry, Mr. Chairman.”

“Oh, no… . I, I… last time…”

Sonagi finally smiled in satisfaction as she watched Hong Seo-yeon, who was about to die from embarrassment. Although she knew that she was not Ji-hoon’s childhood friend, Sonagi felt a strange sense of satisfaction at the fact that she still had such a social relationship.

“Hey, hey Nagi… stop teasing me, my honey is going to cry from surprise.”

Ji-hoon stood next to Hong Seo-yeon with a smile, and So-na-gi smiled and waved her hand.

“Okay, I’ll go then. Hey, Jihoon. Contact me later~”

Just like that, Sonagi opened the garage door and disappeared. There was no need to ask how I was going to get home. Her red motorcycle was running towards me with a roaring sound in the distance, powered by AI driving.

“Honey…! If So, Sonagi was your childhood friend, you should have said something! I, I really… I thought you were like my ex-girlfriend…”

“We’ve been friends for a long time, so I forgot to introduce ourselves separately.”

As Ji-hoon spoke with a smile, Hong Seo-yeon pouts again. Seeing her cute appearance, Ji-hoon kissed her lips like he did to Sonagi.

After that light kiss, the two naturally walk back home from the garage.

“So, honey, how much work has been done?”

“Ah, it’s almost done, honey. Trinity’s been helping me tirelessly…”

Hong Seo-yeon smiled and spoke as if she had met the best partner, and naturally guided Ji-hoon to the room under construction.

“Wow…”

There was still a lot of construction to be done, but imagining the walls painted pitch black and the things he had acquired today properly disassembled and placed in place, it seemed like a pretty nice room would be created.

“Once this is finished…”

“Can you hit that old lady with it?”

Ji-hoon nodded seriously as he watched Hong Seo-yeon speak with a smile.
