Episode 85

At the gentle exterior but utterly calm voice without a tremor, Uncle’s back pressed firmly against the sofa.

Though Uncle had done gangster work, an ordinary person couldn’t possibly handle the murderous aura of an operative who had undergone assassination training for over ten years.

“What, what is this!”

Ri Ji-han slowly picked up a ballpoint pen from the pencil case placed next to the sofa and made a clicking sound.

“Haah…”

I was surprised at the hospital last time too, but a truly spine-chilling coldness arose.

“With just this one thing.”

Ri Ji-han’s voice flowed toward Uncle.

“I can send you to the other world by piercing your throat without hearing you scream even once. So answer properly and stop talking nonsense. I’m really…”

“Hiiiek!”

Click, click, with each sound I heard, my body hair seemed to stand up as well.

Uncle looked at me with stiffened facial muscles and said to me.

“Chaea, how did you end up bringing such a, such a crazy person…?”

Still, having used his fists a bit, he could recognize just how scary a person Ri Ji-han was.

“Can you run the washing machine?”

“Wa, washing machine? Why, did something get wet?”

“No. This older sister. And this older sister’s family. Please clean their identities thoroughly.”

“Identity… laundering?”

Uncle looked at Ri Ji-han again.

And his spirit died again at her gaze as his shoulders flinched.

‘Making a formal defection application would be good too, but if her face gets exposed, there’s a concern that things could get complicated.’

According to Ri Ji-han, the command was turned upside down in North Korea due to her defection as a top-class operative.

If she revealed her identity at this time, there would be a high probability of being attacked by other comrades inside South Korea.

The safest method for Ri Ji-han and most useful for me was to have her live with a completely changed identity through dark routes.

“So, so. This woman, no, this person… you want me to create a new identity for her. Is that it?”

“I’ll give you money.”

“No, right now, money, money isn’t the problem, this person… doesn’t seem like an ordinary dangerous person… hik…”

When Ri Ji-han flashed her murderous eyes again, Uncle shrank.

“You.”

Ri Ji-han said while raising her chin with the ballpoint pen in hand.

“Will you do it, or will you die.”

[Comprehensive Reputation Graph]

The purple graph was gradually getting mixed with sparkles.

It must be the evolution process toward the same color.

And there was one more function that opened with Noah’s upgrade.

[Individual Favorability List]

I could see the favorability of people around me toward me.

Not everything was visible, only a few were opened.

For example.

[Gu Jun-ho

Favorability: 690]

[Ri Ji-han

Favorability: 530]

[Jo Mi-sook

Favorability: 330]

[Oh Young-il

Favorability: 270]

[Kang Un-san

Favorability: 420]

[Gi Seung-cheol

Favorability: -290]

Below this were the children’s names too, but they were locked with a message saying favorability isn’t displayed during minor years.

It seems I can only see it when they become adults later.

Favorability has different functions according to scores – above 100 means they show goodwill toward me, above 300 means they’ll grant at least seven out of ten requests I make.

‘If it exceeds 500…’

[They would believe you even if you said you made soybean paste with red beans, Master. ૮₍ •ᴥ• ₎ა♡]

Junho’s favorability of 690 made my heart feel touched.

And another adult with favorability above 500, Ri Ji-han.

She safely escaped from North Korea with her family, and I went to find my half-brother to request her identity laundering.

He does that kind of work professionally, and since I scared him enough, he wouldn’t think of anything else.

Anyway, Ji-han found a small house near the apartment where Junho and I live with her family, and said she would look for new work once the identity laundering was complete.

Since she’s such a strong person, I think she’ll settle in quickly.

Oh, except for one thing.

“I can do anything except being a nurse.”

Her memory of that seems particularly bad.

“And, if you need anything, just tell me anything. Comrade Chaea is my benefactor. I’ll offer my liver or gallbladder.”

To Ri Ji-han who looked at me with determined eyes, I told her the key number to Gi Seung-cheol’s office that I received as a Quest reward.

Because with a child’s body and waddling steps, I couldn’t extract information myself.

When I asked her to secure secret documents from his office, Ri Ji-han’s eyes lit up as she grinned.

“That’s my specialty.”

And several weeks later, Ri Ji-han brought out Gi Seung-cheol’s second phone.

It was a phone that seemed to be sealed away in the last drawer compartment, and while it might be difficult to completely ruin Gi Seung-cheol…

It would properly tie his feet for the time being.

“Do you like it?”

To Ri Ji-han who was reading my expression, I grinned.

“Yes. I like it very much.”

“Noah, spread this to the media.”

[૮ ◕ﻌ◕აゝ]

[Late Actress Im Su-yeon Death Case, Suspicions Raised About Lawyer Gi Mo’s Involvement… “Contact Until Day Before Death”]

Regarding actress Im Su-yeon’s death case that occurred several months ago, the case that was concluded as a simple extreme choice is now facing a new phase. Based on materials anonymously reported to broadcasting companies recently, the possibility has been raised that lawyer Gi Mo from a famous law firm was involved in the case.

A police official verifying the secured materials stated, “A large number of messages were confirmed that are difficult to view as a simple acquaintance relationship,” and “The possibility that the two had an inappropriate relationship cannot be ruled out.”

[Main Quest: Freedom Achievement rewards begin.]

[Sub Quest ‘Unstoppable Force’ and 2 others achieved – 300 points]

[Divorce Evidence – 100 points]

[Growth of Mischievous Twins – 100 points]

[Being Able to See the Sky – 100 points]

[Christmas in South Korea – 100 points]

[Combined Score – 700/100 points]

[Due to excessive goal achievement, a two-stage upgrade pack will proceed. Stage 7 > Stage 9]

[Due to excessive goal achievement, assets increase by 30%.]

[Due to excessive goal achievement…]

* * *

Time flew by like an arrow.

Unlike past history, Gochan-hyeong failed to receive proper attention as a politician,

Gi Seung-cheol escaped murder suspicions by proving his alibi related to Im Su-yeon’s death, but news came that he paid alimony to his wife and got divorced.

【Typhoon Internal Medicine】’s viewership continued its high flight until the final episode and concluded beautifully amid everyone’s applause.

Junho appeared in writer Kim Bong-cheol’s new drama 【Waltz of Prague】, finished pre-filming, and the first episode aired recently, and I had grown quite a bit too.

2001.

I, Gu Chaea, had somehow become an eight-year-old, a first-grade elementary school student.

My bank account balance is… let me see.

“Money.”

[You have 10.227 billion won.]

Just looking at the balance makes me feel full.

Naturally, it was a large sum of money that had never been in my bank account before.

After making huge profits during the dot-com bubble and withdrawing the money, I waited for the bubble to burst,

and now I was redistributing and reinvesting the funds.

True to Chairman Kang Un-san’s promise of ‘mutual trust,’ my trading was never suspended, so I was investing with peace of mind.

The only regrettable thing was that my balance had been frozen for a year as a penalty for failing the main quest.

If I hadn’t failed that, I would have twice as much as I do now.

“When the target return rate is reached, withdraw it, and rebuy at the price I told you about.”

As an eight-year-old, I commanded Noah with a clear voice.

When I was younger, my tongue wouldn’t roll properly, which was so frustrating.

[Should I apply the same rule to other stocks as well?]

“Ah, I’ll wait and see for those.”

[Understood. ૮₍´˶ᵔ ᴥ ᵔ˶₎ა]

Noah’s level was now 13. Having learned countless rules and strategies of the human world and steadily evolved through main quests, Noah was now truly functioning as a useful AI secretary.

From information retrieval to investment, it really felt like having a secretary.

When any problem situation arose, Noah would quickly devise strategies, making it very useful.

Even the figure fluttering before my eyes had evolved into a proper 3D form with clear outlines.

“And… find the route to that address I mentioned before. Public transportation route. I’m going to visit in three days.”

[I will execute that command.]

Now the time had come.

Setting down my heavy school bag, I looked at the box placed on the desk.

Saebyeol and Mincheol’s time capsule.

And the recorder that was inside it.

I planned to uncover the truth behind the rusty recorder.

‘I’ll also… meet my parents again.’

My eyes gleamed deeply.
