Chapter 328: Chapter 328

Min Sung came back home from the bank.

As soon as he did, he saw Woong Jang for the first time in a while.

“You must’ve been through a lot,” said Woong Jang with a warm smile.

“No, I haven’t. Long time no see.”

“I was late because I was abroad for a while. I apologize.”

“No need.”

“Ho Sung and Sia took a trip to the department store.”

Just as Min Sung nodded and headed over to shower.

“Um, Sir.”

Min Sung stopped and looked back at Woong Jang.

“Ho Sung is a good chef now, and now that the monsters are gone, I feel as though I’m inconveniencing you by staying here…”

“No. Ho Sung has improved at cooking, but there will be many errands to run. That’s not a good enough reason. You can leave when you want to or if there’s something else you’d like to do. I won’t stop you.”

“Not at all, Sir. Then as for my granddaughter…”

“Do as you wish. She can stay or go.”

“Doesn’t it make you uncomfortable?”

Min Sung knitted his brows and glared at Woong Jang.

“Don’t look at me like that.”

“I apologize.”

Woong Jang smiled and bowed his head.

Min Sung stared into space and tilted his head.

“… She doesn’t seem all bad.”

Min Sung then headed to shower.

Meanwhile, Woong Jang watched by with a pleased smile on his face

“We don’t have time. Hurry up and pick. I made a reservation at a restaurant, so I have to drop Min Sung off.”

“Can you shut up for a second?” Sia Jang asked while looking at the designer bags on display as if she was possessed.

Ho Sung Lee looked at Sia Jang as if he couldn’t understand. He sighed and then felt shy due to the eyes that were on him.

The employees as well as other female customers watched in jealousy, and it wasn’t because he looked like a boyfriend who was buying her a bag.

It was because it was Ho Sung Lee, who was the most famous next to Min Sung Kang.

Ho Sung Lee felt uncomfortable, so he wanted Sia Jang to pick a bag as quickly as possible, and that was when she picked one.

“I want this one!”

Sia Jang smiled while posing in the mirror with the bag.

“How much is it?” Ho Sung Lee asked the employee.

“One moment. This item is 42 million won.”

“Sigh… 42 million won?”

When he glared at Sia Jang, she looked back at him as if she was the kitty in Shrek.

Ho Sung Lee shook his head from side to side.

How could he spend 42 million won on a bag?

He couldn’t believe such an expensive bag could exist.

Ho Sung Lee was in awe.

Despite having 100 billion won in his bank account, Ho Sung Lee was still scared when it came to money.

“Sia.”

“Yeah?”

“You’d better be good to Chef Jang.”

“Of course, I already am. I’ll do even better. Don’t worry.”

Sia Jang shook her hands urging him to pay.

“Jeez.”

Ho Sung Lee paid with a sigh and continued moving to find a present for Chef Jang.

“What are you going to buy Grandpa? My grandpa is tall with a good physique, so a suit might look good… Huh?”

Sia Jang was surprised by the store that Ho Sung Lee entered.

[Patek Philippe]

“Those are watches. It’s expensive here,” mumbled Sia Jang as she followed Ho Sung Lee inside.

And when she saw the average price of a watch, she jolted her eyes wide open.

“Y-you’re going to buy this for him?” Sia Jang stuttered while looking at Ho Sung Lee.

Ho Sung Lee didn’t look at Sia Jang or even answer her, and after taking a look at the watches, he nodded.

When Ho Sung Lee was young, there was a time when he was interested in watches, and there was one watch that he always wondered about.

And among all of the models, the one Ho Sung Lee picked was the latest model.

“I’ll take this one.”

The employee began packing up at the watch in a respectful manner.

“How much is it?”

“It’s 110 million won.”

“Sure. Here you go.”

Sia Jang dropped her jaw and stood frozen in place.

“1-110 million won?”

Sia Jang stared at the watch blankly as if she just saw a ghost.

“Why are you buying my grandpa such an expensive gift?”

“Because he’s like my mentor.”

Ho Sung Lee watched the watch being wrapped up as he smirked.

“Wow. I want to wear one too now. It’s such a nice watch.”

Sia Jang looked at Ho Sung Lee as if she started to see him differently.

“You’re so cool.”

“What?”

“You’re so cool.”

“I always was.”

“I take it back.”

Ho Sung Lee ignored Sia. He took the bag and left the store.

“You were so hesitant when you bought my bag, but you didn’t even think twice about buying that watch.”

“Hey, I”ll take that bag back.”

“I’m sorry.”

Sia Jang carried her bag containing her designer bag and walked as if she was dancing.

Ho Sung Lee couldn’t hold back his smile while watching.

“This is for you, Chef.”

Ho Sung Lee passed the paper bag to Chef Jang, and as soon as he saw the brand name on the bag, Woong Jang knitted his brows.

“I… can’t accept this, Ho Sung.”

Min Sung walked out of the kitchen and asked, “What is it?”

Min Sung plopped down on the sofa with a towel around his neck and opened a can of beer.

“It’s a watch,” replied Ho Sung Lee.

“Ho Sung, how can I accept such an expensive watch? If you’re going to start your own foundation, you can’t spend your money like this.”

“This is my first and last bribe. This is my way of asking you to cook good food for Min Sung and take good care of me as well.”

“I still can’t take this.”

“I won’t back down. You have to take it. I wanted to spend some money for once.”

“Then you have it. I can’t wear that.”

Woong Jang tried to give the bag back to Ho Sung Lee, but Ho Sung Lee refused, and they continued to pass it back and forth.

Sia Jang held the bag that Ho Sung Lee bought for her and walked toward the sofa where Min Sung sat down.

“Hello, Hero.”

In response, Min Sung glanced over at Sia Jang.

“Just call me Min Sung. That made me cringe.”

“Okay, Min Sung. Nothing scary will happen anymore, right?” Sia Jang asked with anticipation.

“Who knows?”

Min Sung answered coldly and turned on the TV with the remote control.

Sia Jang glared at Min Sung from the teasing.

“You’re so mean. Why are you so cold all the time.”

Sia Jang returned to Chef Woong and grumbled.

Woong Jang who was in the middle of fighting over the present tapped Sia Jang on the back.

“It’s thanks to him that we’re doing well and healthy, and your present is also from him.”

Sia Jang stuck out her tongue.

“I know. Thank you for the bag. I’m going to go brag to my friends.”

Sia Jang ran up the stairs to the 2nd floor.

“Phew, Ho Sung. Like I said, I can’t take…”

“Chef Jang.”

In response to Min Sung’s calling, Woong Jang immediately went to Min Sung on the sofa.

“Yes, Sir.”

“Just take it.”

“But…”

“You’re not the one deciding on the worth, whether it’s money or a present.”

In response, Woong Jang smiled bitterly without a word.

“Okay.”

Woong Jang gave up and accepted the paper bag from Ho Sung Lee.

“Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it.”

Ho Sung Lee flashed a smile and went to Min Sung.

“Sir, we have to leave in 30 minutes.”

Min Sung answered by raising his hand.

***

Ho Sung Lee left the house with Min Sung in order to head to the restaurant.

“Commander Kim said she’s already there.”

“Why so early?” Min Sung asked while looking out the window.

“I guess you don’t know. Commander Kim sees you as a business partner, so of course, she’s there early. If she hadn’t, I would’ve warned her ahead of time.”

“Hm… You seem to be a lot more proactive after getting paid.”

“That’s a misunderstanding.”

“Are you sure?”

“I’m sure.”

“I’m only giving you 10 million won per week from now on.”

“Okay. Pardon? Pardon?”

The car shook for a moment.

“I-I apologize, Sir. But 10 million won? Per week?”

“Yeah.”

“Why?”

“Don’t’ you want it?”

“Of course, I do. But that’s too much.”

“Like I told Chef Jang, you don’t get to decide your worth. That’s up to me.”

“Thank you, Sir!”

“As soon as I start transferring you 10 million won per week…”

Min Sung trailed off in thought, and in response, Ho Sung Lee’s face turned pale.

“I’ll prove that I’m worth that much with all my effort!”

“When it comes to monsters or the Demonic Realm, I let you off easy since you’re just not strong enough.”

Min Sung stared at Ho Sung Lee and continued, “But if you make an amateur mistake…”

Ho Sung Lee nodded.

“I shall kill you myself and…”

“You come back to life anyway.”

“T-that’s true. Then I’ll accept any punishment you give me.”

“Do a good job.”

“Yes, Sir.”

Ho Sung Lee slowed down on the road.

“We’re here.”

When Ho Sung Lee stopped the car and got out, the valet employee ran over.

But Ho Sung Lee signaled at him to wait and opened the back door to the car.

Min Sung got out, and once the parking employee got in, Ho Sung Lee ran ahead of Min Sung and opened the door to the restaurant for him.

Min Sung walked into the restaurant.

Since they didn’t rent out the whole restaurant, there were many customers, and as a result, the attention naturally shifted toward him.

Min Sung was under the spotlight, but he didn’t care.

Meanwhile, Ho Sung Lee was notified of the table that he reserved, and he escorted Min Sung to that table.

As soon as they got to the table, Ji Yoo Kim was waving with a smile in a red dress.

She was blindingly beautiful, but Min Sung sat down with a frown.

“What are you wearing? Are you on a blind date?”

In response, Ji Yoo Kim shook her head.
