I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 233
6th World League (4)
Tiger Mask.
So Hwang Na-yeon had recently entered the ranks of the wealthy elite.
Her age was 26 years old.
Suddenly, her father’s business took off and he began accumulating massive wealth.
The reason his business succeeded?
Because her father was the uncle of Hwang Tae-seop, the representative of Fortuna Yubaek here.
In other words, Hwang Na-yeon and Hwang Tae-seop were cousins.
Anyway.
As soon as that fact was revealed, her family, recognized as one of Yubaek’s Royal Family, shot up while drawing public attention in an instant.
Hwang Na-yeon’s father was Hwang Yeong-cheol.
He was originally someone who ran a small construction company, but after his relationship with Hwang Tae-seop was revealed, he instantly established himself as the head of a major construction company.
An era where you could succeed just by having connections to Yubaek.
That was current South Korea.
People constantly joked about calling it the Baek Jin-woo Republic, but there wasn’t a single thing wrong with that statement.
‘Hehe.’
Naturally, Hwang Na-yeon’s shoulders were reaching sky-high.
She earned the envy of friends she’d been getting along with well, and her nose grew higher without any surgery.
‘This luxurious casino belongs to my cousin.’
Of course, Hwang Na-yeon had only encountered Hwang Tae-seop a few times while living together.
They didn’t usually contact each other and weren’t close.
Rather, after he received a 10% stake in “Fortuna Yubaek” and “Le Grand Yubaek,” they became much more distant.
But still, if they were cousins, weren’t they blood relatives in a broad sense?
That’s why she came here.
Wearing a tiger mask with the determination to devour this place.
The wealthy heirs who were said to soar high in South Korea?
They all inevitably bowed their heads and became humble when they heard about her background.
Especially since Baek Jin-woo and Yu Ji-a weren’t the type to participate in social activities, it was even more so.
If there was any way to connect, treat them well first!
That was the power “Yubaek” held in South Korea.
And.
Hwang Na-yeon, who arrived at the VIP League Room, scanned her surroundings with a haughty posture.
Then she saw it.
‘What. Who is that person.’
It was a woman wearing a silver fox mask…
‘What kind of proportions are those? Is she a model?’
A figure that drew envy just by looking at it.
Even with a mask on, you could feel the ‘beauty’ from within.
And the golden fox mask walking beside her.
That man was amazing too.
What kind of body was that good.
It wasn’t those balloon muscles that only men liked.
His perfectly moderate, sexy yet solid physique had perfect balance and elegance that drew surrounding gazes just by taking light steps.
‘That suit fit is killer.’
He probably wasn’t a wealthy heir.
He must be a famous celebrity or model.
But?
Even such people would immediately bow their heads after hearing about her background.
‘Because I’m Yubaek Family.’
While scanning like that.
– Geum-u, where should we bet?
– Well. Wouldn’t it be no fun if I told you?
– No, we’re betting money. It would be more fun if you told us. It’s just putting down money and taking money.
She heard this kind of talk.
Normally she might have passed by, but since her gaze kept going there, the voices also hit her eardrums precisely.
‘Is his name Geum-u?’
The name is a bit old-fashioned compared to his body.
But.
‘He’s talking like he knows exactly who will win.’
It was funny.
Everyone here knows that England, and Rachel will win… talking about ‘fun’ with that?
So she spoke to them.
At the same time, she showed them.
Even if they were celebrities or models, throwing around 1 billion, the minimum here, would be their limit…
If she clearly showed her financial power with 10 billion?
Wouldn’t they show interest and try to become friendly? That was her thinking.
So she threw down 10 billion.
Actually, it was money that was a stretch for her too, but since there was a high probability it would return as more than double, she boldly went for it.
But?
– What’s the maximum limit here?
Good grief.
He asks about the maximum limit of this place.
Was his pride hurt or something?
‘What do they take Yubaek for.’
Hwang Na-yeon already knew this place had no limits.
While listening to the dealer and crossing her arms, Hwang Na-yeon heard even more absurd words.
– Gambling isn’t good… Since it’s not good to go overboard, just use a moderate amount.
– How much is moderate?
– About 1 trillion…? No, is that too little?
What?
Not excessive and moderate is 1 trillion?
Are these people just openly mocking her?
People who can burn 1 trillion in betting are extremely few even in this world.
Major corporation heads, financial industry moguls, or countries, Saudi or Qatar royalty, or legendary casino moguls like Steve or Sheldon.
But?
She was certain.
1 trillion at that age?
Just thoughtless words thrown around.
And 1 trillion is too little?
It’s not even like they’re saying it for others to hear, good grief.
And they go even further.
– Still, we should make a patriotic bet. Let’s go with Korea winning.
– Yeah, with Rachel in second place. No matter how amazing Hong Ari is, it’s still too much to break Rachel’s stronghold.
Here it became certain.
They had no intention of actually betting from the start.
If they burned 1 trillion on Korea, that would be truly insane.
Hwang Na-yeon, who was dumbfounded, finally couldn’t hold back and exploded.
“Hey you.”
Those who dare to have a battle of wills in front of her?
In the end, they all ended up sprawled on the floor apologizing.
“I’ve been listening for a while now, and 1 trillion? That’s quite impressive. But isn’t breaking the mood with such unrealistic jokes a bit much? The people gathered here probably came wanting to enjoy themselves with dignity and proper etiquette.”
Though spoken in a gentle voice, the cynicism underneath couldn’t be hidden.
“Right.”
“1 trillion was a bit too much.”
“Hehehe, 1 trillion. I’d be happy if I could even touch that much in my lifetime.”
People nearby also began whispering and watching the situation with interested eyes.
Originally, watching fights was entertaining, but when done with masks like this, it was even more entertaining.
After all, when the masks came off, one person would laugh and one would cry depending on their identity.
Though childish, it was a dopamine-inducing scene, so people gradually began gathering.
“Uh…”
Yu Ji-a scratched her head.
Why has she been picking fights since earlier?
Her eyes briefly met Baek Jin-woo’s with that expression, but he slightly turned his head away.
A gesture saying to handle it herself.
“If it sounded like a joke, I should have been more careful. But what’s this about?”
“If it sounded like a joke? Are you going to insist until the end that it wasn’t a joke? This is Fortuna Yubaek.”
“…Yes, I know that too.”
“In a place where refined people have gathered, 1 trillion… Haha, and patriotic betting at that? Go ahead and try it. Let’s see if it really becomes 1 trillion.”
“…Fine then.”
Yu Ji-a smoothly, swiftly!
Touched the panel.
But then.
– Beep!
– Error!
– Too large an amount has been set!
Unfortunately, that also came out as audio.
Yu Ji-a was slightly flustered.
What?
It’s a VVIP card specially made by the bank, so there should be no limit?
“Ha, hahaha! See! I knew it would be like that!”
Tiger Mask, Hwang Na-yeon, giggled and laughed.
The sound was quite loud, as if intentionally trying to exaggerate the situation.
‘Interesting.’
Baek Jin-woo also laughed inwardly.
Indeed, rather than just training every day, he should come out like this to enjoy dates too.
He just came to enjoy some light betting, but didn’t expect to experience this kind of situation.
Swoosh.
Looking at Yu Ji-a with her arms crossed, she seemed to be enjoying this too.
There was no particular need to worry further.
She’s someone who doesn’t back down even against heads of state from various countries around the world.
‘Normally, she would have apologized appropriately and left.’
That Tiger Mask?
She smelled more vicious than expected.
The kind of feeling that once she thinks someone is weak, she’ll cruelly trample them.
By the way.
Why wasn’t 1 trillion approved?
He really didn’t know that.
Did an error occur because a large sum was suddenly wagered?
“Uh, hmm…”
The dealer also looked flustered.
Then, soon making a resolute expression, he said to Yu Ji-a.
“Customer, please use this device according to the established regulations.”
Though spoken politely, the meaning was simple.
Don’t mess around with the device.
At the dealer’s statement, Hwang Na-yeon became even more triumphant.
“I told you. This place is Fortuna Yubaek. No, if you’re going to show off in front of people, shouldn’t you at least bring a plausible situation? And 1 trillion at that – if it had been 50 billion or 100 billion, I might have let it slide thinking ‘sure, whatever.'”
“…”
Yu Ji-a let out a deep sigh inwardly.
Showing off.
Actually, it wasn’t wrong.
From their perspective, it could certainly be showing off.
But?
Yu Ji-a felt wronged too.
She had more than enough ability to do it, so wasn’t it wrong to say she was in the wrong for betting here?
Originally, if that woman hadn’t interfered, it could have passed as an appropriate happening.
Rather, people might have gotten lucky by following the pick of a rich person betting on Korea’s victory.
“There seems to be some misunderstanding, but I really was trying to bet 1 trillion…”
“Ha, please stop it already. Now even talking to you is becoming degrading.”
At those words, Yu Ji-a’s expression could be felt hardening.
While she could understand the loud voice, there was no reason to tolerate not maintaining basic courtesy.
“Your words are a bit harsh, aren’t they?”
“Did I say something wrong? I wasn’t going to say anything, but I’m someone quite deeply connected to this Fortuna Yubaek. How could I just watch and let it slide when someone’s muddying the waters right in front of me?”
Hwang Na-yeon spoke imposingly.
‘This should completely crush her spirit, right?’
Saying she’s connected to Fortuna Yubaek!
That means she’s also connected to Hwang Tae-seop!
Saying she’s Yubaek Family!
“Oh, ooh.”
“No wonder she was betting 10 billion at a time.”
“She must be someone related to the representative here.”
“Then she’s part of the Yubaek group?”
“Wow, amazing. I’m envious, so envious.”
There was also stirring from the surroundings.
Even people who had been watching neutrally sent favorable glances toward Tiger Mask.
That’s exactly the power of Yubaek.
On the other hand.
At the mention of being connected to Fortuna Yubaek, Yu Ji-a completely froze up.
What could have been just a passing incident was now directly connected to her business.
Connected to Fortuna Yubaek?
Then there’s a high possibility she’s a figure related to Hwang Tae-seop, and such a person is this arrogant?
“Ha.”
Yu Ji-a felt embarrassed.
She was the one who put Hwang Tae-seop in that position.
But to have the problems arising from that exposed right in front of Baek Jin-woo…
She felt both sorry and ashamed toward Baek Jin-woo.
“You said you’re deeply connected to Fortuna Yubaek?”
“Why? Are you starting to get a sense of who you’re having a war of words with?”
Yu Ji-a tried to suppress the irritation rising from within.
However, today this part definitely needed to be addressed clearly.
“Well, how impressive. But exactly who are you connected to?”
“Hehe, you don’t need to know that much.”
“But it’s kind of funny. I don’t think that relationship gives you the right to mock and ridicule people in this place.”
“….”
Hwang Na-yeon was momentarily flustered, but immediately responded with a smile.
“Well, I was just explaining my position, but if that made you uncomfortable, I apologize. But someone who talks about 1 trillion in this place shouldn’t be saying such things.”
“…1 trillion.”
Right.
That was it.
Swoosh.
Yu Ji-a picked up her phone.
Come to think of it, this place has so many problems.
They gather people claiming it’s VVIP, and then have a system error over just 1 trillion?
She immediately called Hwang Tae-seop.
“President Hwang? Come to me right now.”
Her voice was filled with anger.
