***
Ho Sung Lee had to hire someone to carry their items, but he wasn't able to find a suitable candidate, so he ranted to Woong Jang.
That's difficult.
"Jeez, if I don't get this done, Min Joon will scold me for being useless. I mean, how am I supposed to find someone when no one's qualified?"
In response to Ho Sung Lee's complaint, Woong Jang laughed.
Come to think of it, I remembered hearing something similar.
"What?"
Ho Sung Lee asked with widened eyes.
Gold Goblin.
"Oh... !"
He sprung up from the bench.
He began to feel hope from deep within.
"You're right! There's the Gold Goblin!"
Ho Sung Lee exclaimed in excitement and then realized something.
"But... I've only heard rumors of it. There are no real videos of it, so people say it's a lie."
The Gold Globin was a goblin monster with an entirely gold body.
The pouch connected to the Gold Golbin's left wrist was also made of gold.
Inside that gold pouch that he was born with, like a Kangaroo, was a space that was large enough to carry an infinite number of items.
However, that was just a rumor.
There was no evidence that he really existed.
Sorry, I can't be of more help.
"That's okay. You never know. Maybe I'll meet the Gold Goblin one day."
That would be nice. Well, best of luck. Oh, and I sent the other recipes by email. It'll help you with your next run to the grocery store.
"Thank you, Chef."
You can do it!
"Thank you. Bye, Chef."
Ho Sung Lee ended his call. He finished his cigarette. He threw it out and then looked at his phone.
The Gold Goblin.
If he found him, there would be no better outcome than that.
'I hope he exists. Please, please, please... !'
Ho Sung Lee prayed and searched the internet for the Gold Goblin.
However, the results made Ho Sung Lee grow pale.
He didn't think it would be easy, but there was absolutely no trace of the Gold Goblin on the internet.
As if it was a past trend, no information could be found about the monster.
Ho Sung Lee looked at his phone and scratched his head.
'Maybe there's no such thing. '
No Gold Goblin.
Ho Sung Lee sighed at his phone and put his phone number on one of the item sale websites just in case anyone knew about the Gold Goblin.
He posted the question and sat on the bench.
A moment later, he heard his phone alarm.
Ho Sung Lee lifted his phone and checked this notification.
There was one message, and that message was from someone selling the Gold Goblin.
Ho Sung Lee sprung up and immediately made a call.
"Hello? Are you really selling the Gold Goblin?"
Ho Sung Lee excitedly asked.
Yes, I am. If you transfer 10 million won to me now, I'll send him your way.
'By mail... ?'
"No, we should meet face to face. It's not like the Gold Goblin is an object."
This is the only way.
Ho Sung Lee closed his eyes.
He was beginning to feel stressed.
"You son of a bitch! You're scamming me, right?"
No.
"Do you know who you're messing with? Do you want to die?"
Beep, beep, beep.
"That asshole... Ugh!"
Ho Sung Lee clenched his teeth and smoked another cigarette.
"F*ck. Yeah, who'd just give me a Gold Goblin just like that? Nothing comes that easy. I should just give up. F*ck."
Ding!
At that moment, he heard another alarm.
It was another message.
"This is probably a scam, too."
Ho Sung Lee scoffed as he checked his messages.
He then threw his cigarette on the ground.
When Ho Sung Lee checked the message, he was shocked.
[Is that you, Ho Sung Lee? I'm a huge fan! I hope this information will help. ]
A photo was attached to the message. It was the legendary Gold Goblin. The person had captured someone who uploaded the photo on social media.
Ho Sung Lee gulped and checked the account that posted the photo.
He wondered if he could see the Gold Goblin's photo himself, but...
[Private account]
The social media account was made private. Ho Sung Lee scratched his head as a result.
He tried to follow the account, but there was no response yet.
As he looked at the profile, Ho Sung Lee saw the name and tilted his head.
'Is this person famous?'
'Why does this person have so many followers?'
When he searched the name on the internet, it was an Arabian prince.
"Oh... that makes sense. He was an Arabian prince. Yeah, then I can see why he has a Gold Goblin."
Ho Sung Lee stood on the bench in excitement.
"But how do I contact him?"
After a moment of thought, Ho Sung Lee lifted his head.
"The general! I'm sure the general of the Central Insitute can help me!"
Ho Sung Lee immediately gave Ji Yoo Kim a call.
***
The robed man, Jae Hyuk Han, arrived at the assembly.
When the robed man appeared, the world hunters scattered to make way for him.
While the wold hunters watched by, Jae Hyuk Han passed them and entered the tent.
Inside, the Samchunkyo hunters all got up.
However, their behavior was iffy.
They didn't act like they were greeting a superior.
He was in an iffy place between a superior and someone they couldn't treat with disrespect.
That was the position of the robed man, Jae Hyuk Han.
Jae Hyuk Han sat at the head of the table.
In response, the Samchunkyo hunters also sat down.
"Are you here to make an announcement?"
One Samchunkyo hunter asked.
"Stand by temporarily."
In response, the Samchunkyo hunters knitted their brows.
They thought they would get an announcement by now, but they had to wait longer.
The Samchunkyo hunters all looked at Jae Hyuk Han with curious eyes, but he didn't respond or react.
The silence made the meeting room feel cold.
***
As soon as Ho Sung Lee, who was biting his nails on the bench, saw a car speeding over, he sprung up.
He saw a sports car racing in his direction.
A moment later.
Screech!
A yellow sports car stopped in front of him.
Inside that car was Ji Yoo Kim.
"General! What happened?"
Ho Sung Lee ran over and asked Ji Yoo Kim.
Ji Yoo Kim smiled and showed him an okay sign with her fingers.
"Wow! Amazing!"
Ho Sung Lee clenched his fists and put strength in his entire body.
As soon as an impossible mission turned into reality, he felt happy and relieved.
"All I could help you with was get you connected with the Arabian prince, " Ji Yoo Kim said in worry.
"Haha! I know that! The rest is up to me. Thank you so much, General!"
"Don't mention it. A call will come in through your phone soon enough."
"Sure! Thank you!"
"I need to get going now."
Ji Yoo Kim said goodbye to Ho Sung Lee and then disappeared.
Ho Sung Lee looked at his phone and breathed in and out.
"How much should I buy it for?"
He rubbed his nervous face
'Since a gold monster is alive and moving, 10 billion? Is that enough?'
'No, I should spend more. '
If he offered a low number, they could refuse right away.
Ho Sung Lee used his calculator to arrive at a reasonable number.
Although he uploaded a photo to his social media, there was no telling whether he really had the Gold Goblin.
And even if he had it, all Ji Yoo Kim of the Central Inistute could do was connect them for a call.
And since the prince was rich, it was possible that he wouldn't want to sell it in the first place.
While he considered all sorts of possibilities, he got a call from a foreign number.
Ho Sung Lee calmed himself down and answered it.
It went to a video call.
'Hm?'
Ho Sung Lee looked at the phone screen in confusion.
On the screen was a young Arabian boy who looked like an elementary student.
'Who knew the prince was this young... ?'
Ho Sung Lee dripped in cold sweat.
'But then again, this happens with princes. '
He thought he could get what he wanted if he played the right cards.
"Hello, Your Highness, " Ho Sung Lee said as he bowed his head.
The young Arabian prince showed squinted eyes and a tilted smile that made him look arrogant.
Ho Sung Lee tried his best to keep his facial expression natural.
'Look at this prince's face. What a son of a b*tch. '
After Ho Sung Lee coughed a few times, he put a smile on his face.
"Haha, I'm calling about the photo of a Gold Goblin on your social media. Do you really have one?"
Ho Sung Lee asked with anticipation on his face.
Yeah, I do.
The Arabian prince said with a smirk.
Ho Sung Lee's heart pounded like crazy.
He was so surprised that his chest felt stuffy, and it became harder to breathe.
'Oh my god!'
'So the Gold Goblin actually exists?'
He realized that Min Sung Kang's mission could actually become a reality.
"Your Highness. I'd like to buy your Gold Goblin."
In response, the Arabian prince smirked and scoffed.
