12. Getting Our House (2)
This is only 28 million won!
‘Wait. No matter how I look at it, this is definitely Namsan Leech’s house?’
Namsan Leech.
A vicious bastard among vicious bastards who, once he latched on, would cling until he sucked every drop of blood and never let go!
A guy who didn’t discriminate when it came to profitable work, and enjoyed sucking up blood money!
He was a big shot in Underground Finance who controlled everything from Itaewon and Yongsan to Seoul Station, and the damn brat who had harmed my Master.
He had tremendous pride in this house.
-Hahaha, the most gifted Fortune Teller in the Republic of Korea guaranteed it. This place sweeps up all the money and power in the Republic of Korea.
-Most people can’t avoid dying miserably, crushed by this house’s energy, but I’m different!
-Look. Ever since I moved here, everything I touch becomes a huge hit!
He had painstakingly decorated this house magnificently.
Especially on weekends, he loved calling over women and subordinates to throw wild parties.
That bastard openly mocked us every time we met, saying Our House was just a crumbling Sillim-dong Multi-family House.
‘I don’t know about other things, but I definitely feel like I must buy this house?’
That guy lived well in this house, so what’s to stop me from living here?
“I’d like to go see this house in person.”
“Just looking at the Documents is enough. It’s exactly as shown in the Documents. Don’t waste precious time going back and forth for nothing······.”
The Real Estate Agent began laying out Documents on the table one by one as if he’d been waiting for this.
“These days, Apartments are definitely the best. House prices go up overnight! Perfect for investment too.”
“I said I like this house, didn’t I?”
“Ah, there’s no point going there······ Huk!”
The Real Estate Agent stopped laying out the Apartment Documents and flinched.
Secretary Kim was glaring at him coldly.
“Please stand up for a moment.”
“Why, why are you doing this?”
“It seems like you can’t hear Young Master’s words well. I think we need to go drill out your ear holes first.”
“Let’s go! I’ll guide you right away!”
The Real Estate Agent jumped to his feet.
“Shall we take my car?”
The Real Estate Agent’s car was a 1,600cc Cortina.
He must have driven many Apartment Ladies around, as the back seat Leather Seats were worn smooth and shiny.
On the rear shelf, instead of Air Freshener there was Quince, and Documents in paper bags and a Seoul City Map Book were rolling around.
“······?”
Secretary Kim extended his arm to stop Mother, who was about to quietly get into the back seat.
“This way, please.”
It was the latest model Mercedes-Benz parked in front of the store.
Secretary Kim personally opened the back seat door and said.
“Please get in. I’ll drive you personally.”
The Real Estate Agent opened the passenger door and quietly exclaimed in admiration.
“Wow, this car is really nice. The heater is so powerful too······.”
When Secretary Kim’s eyes flashed, the Real Estate Agent immediately slammed the door shut.
“You need to follow my car closely, alright?”
* * *
Honestly, it exceeded my expectations.
‘This house is a money pit starting from the Stone Wall.’
Large and small pebbles were densely stacked up to 7 meters high.
This kind of work really eats up money.
And they had beautifully installed Incandescent Lights at intervals throughout.
‘The Exterior Walls used Premium Bricks, and the European-style Balcony is sophisticated. From the Roof to the windows, everything is decorated with the finest materials. It feels exactly like a European castle.’
I like it.
‘With the land prices in this area, how can such a luxury house cost only 28 million won? At this price, it’s not just cheap—it’s dirt cheap.’
The more I look around, the more pleased I become.
‘They built the swimming pool properly too. And they picked out only expensive garden trees and garden stones and installed them all over. Even if I sold all of this stuff, I’d make a decent chunk of money, right?’
Even if I demolished the entire mansion and just resold the land, I could sell it for more than 28 million.
This is a house that would definitely make money if I bought it!
‘I wondered why such a good house came out at dirt cheap prices, but now I think I’m starting to understand the reason.’
However, there’s one very minor problem.
“Ha, haha. The house owner happens to be recuperating, so the maintenance has been a bit neglected recently.”
Just how long had they not maintained the garden?
Where the lawn used to be, weeds had grown as tall as an adult’s waist and withered away, and even the premium pine bonsai planted as garden trees were destroyed with dead branches drooping down.
“Just look at the price! 28 million won is practically a steal. Do you know how much land costs in this neighborhood? You can’t even buy a Gangnam apartment of the same size for this price.”
The inside of the mansion was even more of a sight.
Broken furniture covered in dust and cobwebs was scattered everywhere, and the wooden doors were hanging loose with their hinges fallen out.
Every time the cold winter wind blew, an unpleasant creaking sound came from somewhere.
‘That stuff isn’t even a problem.’
I could just tend to the garden, clean up inside the house, and fix the property.
“You’re conveniently leaving out how many people died in this house.”
Right, that was exactly the problem.
I looked with interest at the ghosts hovering and lurking around the mansion.
“Young Master, this is where a total of 7 entrepreneurs including President Kim of Iseong Trading, President Choi of Daeryuk Machinery, and President Park of Manguk Chemical met their ruin and died.”
Secretary Kim seemed to know about this as well.
“Also, political figures met the same fate by botching elections and leaving. A total of 8 people including Assemblymen Kim Cheol-ho, Lee Tae-gwang, Yang Hyo-won, and Park In-seop lost elections and began prison life.”
“Ahem!”
“Should I also recite the legal profession figures who died sudden deaths like traffic accidents or being found as corpses by the Han River? That side has a total of 9 people.”
“Cough!”
“It’s known among high-ranking figures in political and business circles as a haunted house. It’s been abandoned like this for several years now.”
I snapped my fingers.
‘Hey, Guardian Spirit.’
Swoosh.
The Grim Reaper rose up like smoke.
‘Can you handle the ghosts here on your own?’
[Of course.]
The Grim Reaper quickly looked around the surroundings.
When their eyes met, the ghosts were startled and trembled violently.
[I’ll drag these vermin to the Underworld right now…]
‘Wait! Wait a minute!’
I waved my index finger left and right.
‘Do that after we stamp the contract.’
Since it’s not even my home yet, there’s no need to go through the trouble of performing exorcism.
It would be troublesome if the House Owner saw this and changed their mind about selling.
“Such an ominous mansion is not a property worthy of the precious Young Master’s interest.”
“Jeong-hyeok.”
Mother leaned toward me and whispered quietly.
“We only have ten million won. Even if we wanted to buy this place, we can’t, right?”
This house’s selling price is twenty-eight million won.
The cash we currently have is only ten million won.
That meant we needed to prepare the remaining eighteen million separately.
‘The ghost problem seems like it can be solved easily, so now the only thing left is the money issue.’
Of course, there’s a way to solve that too.
Besides, I have something to rely on.
‘If I go with Secretary Kim Uncle later, it seems like the money problem can be neatly resolved too.’
This is reassuring.
I was lucky.
Who would have thought Secretary Kim Uncle would move together with us.
Thanks to that, even the money problem that would have been difficult for me to solve alone seems like it will be easily resolved.
“Customer, I thought this was perfect when I saw the documents, but now that you’re seeing it with your own eyes, are you disappointed? There’s no need for that. We have Gangnam apartments!”
The Real Estate Agent seized the moment and began pulling out apartment documents from the paper bag he had brought.
“Small units probably won’t catch your eye, so a large one would be better. Originally, the bigger the house, the better! You could say it’s ‘the bigger, the better’?”
I could feel his determination to sell a Gangnam apartment no matter what.
Just then, an extremely excited voice came from the garden area.
“Hyung, did you see this house’s stone wall? Wow, this is seriously so cool! I love it!”
It was the voice of a boy whose voice was just starting to change.
I feel like I’ve heard it somewhere before.
Am I mistaken?
“The roof, balcony, pillars, even the exterior walls are so fucking fancy! I guarantee it, if I bring girls here, they’ll all go crazy!”
The boy’s laughter was so loud it echoed all the way here.
“Wow, there’s even a swimming pool! Great, I’ve decided on this house as my birthday gift! Hyung, call Mother right now and tell her to sign the contract immediately. Hahaha!”
The voice was getting closer.
“So what if it’s a haunted house? We can just tear it all down and rebuild it. This is physical exorcism! Then what can those guys do? They’ll be forcibly sent to nirvana!”
It was a confident voice.
“The young customer seems to really like this house already.”
“It’s cool! It’s stylish! It looks awesome! It’s perfect for bringing kids over to hang out!”
“You’re in luck. This property just came in as an urgent sale today, so this is the first time I’m showing it. Surely today this house’s owner will change… huh?”
Creak.
The front door opened.
Some uncle, a man in his mid-thirties, and an adolescent boy stopped mid-step as they were about to enter the house.
That fifteen-year-old insolent-looking brat!
‘Namsan Leech!’
No way, how did I run into that brat here of all places?
