Closed Beta That Only I Played - Chapter 511: Juyoung Hong (38)

The guy who served as his boss’s butler for nearly 10 years did not respond to my comment. I didn’t ask for an answer either.

I moved a bit further and found another secret place.

He said, “This is Warehouse No. 1. He has collected and kept all the antiques, paintings, and ceramics here.”

“Right. No wonder works of art are included in his illegal properties.”

Great artworks have great value for their small size.

That’s why those who are involved in illegal transactions prefer artworks.

Beep, beep, beep, beep.

As soon as I said that, the man who was guiding me approached the warehouse and keyed in the password, causing the huge iron to split in two.

Of course, he didn’t need to because I could open it with a single punch.

But I didn’t stop him.

As soon as the door opened, numerous works of art came into my view.

“Wow, this guy sure has collected a lot.”

I admired his large collection despite myself because it was literally a museum of artworks.

“By the way, how can I carry them outside…”

There were simply too many artworks for anybody to take out.

I wondered if I alone could do so.

But I said, “I’ll show you something special. Look carefully. You won’t see it anywhere.”

I had no intention of touching any of the artworks here individually because it was just a nuisance to do it that way.

So I put the entire Warehouse No.1 into my inventory. The huge warehouse disappeared in an instant.

“!!!”

Chaesan Lee’s butler, who was next to me, opened his eyes wide at that sight, but I ignored him because I already knew that was how we would react.

I just ushered him to guide me to another place where Chaesan Lee stored his wealth.

Even though it was smaller than Warehouse No. 1, I put Warehouse No. 2 into my inventory, which contained all kinds of jewelry, including gold, and Warehouse No. 3 which was full of Japanese yen and Korean won notes.

Now I stood before Warehouse No. 4.

“I don’t know the password for this warehouse. It is the only warehouse that Chaesan Lee manages directly. I only know that this warehouse contains very valuable materials for him, such as his transaction books and loan books.”

“Really? Then let me take it by all means.”

I got close to the warehouse, or a safe, whose walls seemed to be thicker than those of the other warehouses.

“No! That’s mine! Everything in it is mine!”

Of course, I knew he would react like that from the start. And he was the only one whose feet I had yet to smash. Needless to say, this guy was Chaesan Lee, needless to say.

He showed up, yelling at me.

“My artwork! My jewel! My money! I’ve collected all of them so far! So return them to me! You cannot know how much effort I put into collecting them!”

I decided to make him a beggar rather than killing him, and I think I made the right decision.

Chaesan Lee, who was trembling uncontrollably in front of me a little while ago, began to shout at me brazenly, with bloodshot eyes.

So I said clearly and loudly, so he had no choice but to listen, “Don’t worry. I won’t take only the artwork, jewellery, and money from you.”

At the same time, I immediately punched the huge vault.

Bang!

A huge roaring sound erupted

Of course, the roaring sound wasn’t all there was.

No matter how strong the safe, it could not withstand my punch.

So I reached down into the safe, which was cracked open, then opened a large entrance to the outside by wrenching away the iron sheet as if I was rolling up Kimbap.

“Man, there are so many damn documents!”

There were no works of art, jewels, or money that clearly showed their value inside the warehouse. Instead, a bunch of papers were piled inside.

But these papers and books were crucially important, and that’s why he managed them in person.

As if to confirm my guess, he shouted, “No! Don’t touch them!”

He shouted louder than before.

But I ignored him, and put my hand on the safe completely embedded in the wall.

Crack! Crack!

I removed the safe from the wall with force.

Of course, I put the safe into my inventory right away.

He collapsed at the sight

“Oh, no! You can’t take them away! You can’t!”

He collapsed helplessly with a scream.

But I ignored him, then said to his butler who escorted me here, “Alright. Is there any more you want to show me?”

“No. Chaesan never trusts other people. So he was satisfied only when he grasped all his assets in his hand. So when I left, I could only exit after taking all my clothes and going through X-ray machines to make sure I didn’t have anything in my pocket.”

“Man, what a nasty temper! Well, things will work out easily because of that.”

I didn’t have to try hard to make him a beggar, so I could not help but be satisfied.

I put my hand in my pocket and drew out a handful of diamonds, then handed them to the butler who guided me all the way here and revealed his boss’s wealth to me.

I said gently, “This is a gift. You were fired because of me, so take this for your retirement funds.”

“Oh…thank you.”

“My pleasure. I know how to repay people who have helped me. You can leave now. The ice chunks blocking the safe have now disappeared.”

The moment Chaesan Lee moved here, I removed the ice chunks blocking the entrance to the safe because I didn’t have to block it anymore.

“Thank you so much!”

Anyway, I let Chaesan Lee’s butler return.

Now I was left behind with Chaesan Lee in the underground space.

There was no anger on his face. He was just staring blankly at me.

Of course, I could understand his feelings because he lost all his wealth in an instant.

He must have realized that he had no way to retrieve his wealth considering my capabilities he saw with his own eyes.

I didn’t say anything particular to him. He would not listen to me, either.

Tap! Tap!

So I lightly tapped him on the back as if to cheer him up, then walked back to the entrance.

When I stepped back into his study, everyone there was already gone.

I didn’t care because I already expected it.

At that moment, I heard a familiar voice.

“Grandpa? Is it you, Grandpa?”

It was Kyongyoung, his grandson, who caused all this trouble by exposing his desire that he should have kept to himself.

I heard his voice clearly, so I was in a position to take action against him.

‘Blink!’

But I didn’t show up before him because I didn’t have to.

Anyway, I left Chaesan’s mansion, but left behind lots of traces.

I didn’t care about it much.

It was inevitable for him to realize who was responsible for the mess in his mansion because I was already widely known for having robbed the Debius headquarters and making America beg the Myongjin Group for help.

So I only prepared myself on the surface against any potential retaliation by wearing a hat, sunglasses and a mask.
