The Overlord of Blood and Iron

Kang Chul In reported back to Earth through the warp gate as soon as he recovered .

“Please be swift . I, Lucia, will wait for my lord . ”

Lucia saw him out .

Laputa’s most trusted advisers were too busy executing Kang Chul In’s “Special orders” . They had to accomplish all of their given orders before he came back .

“It’s going to be around 2 weeks . ”

“That is too long . ”

“My hands are tied . I have business back home . ”

“I am afraid that I might wither to death while waiting for you my lord . ”

“……”

“Please remember that I am waiting for you and hurry back . ”

Lucia looked like as if she was in such despair, she looked like a puppy who lost its master .

‘I really don’t understand why she acts like this recently . ’

Kang Chul In could not get used to Lucia’s change after the hunt . He also thought that he was not like her .

Think about it .

167cm, size D, skinny waist, broad pelvis, and strong thighs . Lucia was a merciless glamor who easily out-ranked other female kinds .

And her face?

Sharp eyes and horn-rimmed glasses cool beauty, which reminded of a strict professional woman . There isn’t a woman who’s cute puppy form cannot go as well as she is now .

“…Well, I will have to come back once the business is over . I did order some things to be done, so I won’t be gone long . ”

“You should do so . ”

“I will . ”

He stood at the warp gate with a huge sack on his back .

There were all sorts of items and trading good samples between the Earth and Pangea . His plan was to proceed a trading business after consulting with Mr . Kwon on the items in the bag . Money? He will be able to buy a privet jet after a year .

“Please take care of the land . ”

“Do not worry, my lord . ”

Then, he ran the warp to head to Earth .

As soon as he arrived, Kang Cheul In went to the parking lot and opened the hood of a Mustang and loaded his cargo . The cargo, which included gold and other things, easily exceeded 100kg .

“The meat . ”

Realizing that there was something missing, he pulled out a preciously wrapped meat .

It was the meat of peacock dragon .

/p>

---

Needless to say, it was not an ordinary cut of meat .

The meat he brought with him was the equivalent of neck chain of a cow and there was only 3kg of it in the gigantic body of a peacock dragon, so it was a very rare meat .

‘I do have to fulfill the duty of a son . ’

He was to bring the meat to his mother .

A peacock dragon’s meat had a special effect .

Anti-aging, increase of immune system, the increase of strength, fuel energy, etc . The meat’s worth was more than a common restorative . No, the meat of peacock dragon could be the best restorative there is .

It was different from the unverified health food where it was impossible to know the benefits other than the gossips around it . The effect took place after a couple of pieces of the meat . This was the real deal .

‘And for Mr . Kwon . ’

He also had the meat for Mr . Kwon .

It wasn’t as good as the neck chain, but it was a good cut .

Mr . Kwon was going to be his business partner, so it was better in many ways for him to restore his youth .

After placing the meat separately, Kang Cheul In drove the Mustang to Bucheon . I was going to present the meat to his mother before anything .

Vroom-!!

The 2020 Ford Mustang Coupe 5 . 0L GT coughed out a heavy exhaust sound .

‘It is time to get a new car . I will have to move too . ’

As the fund grew, he started to think of moving and getting a new car . It was nonsense for a lord to live in a small studio of 33 m² .

And the Mustang… It was a great car but it wasn’t a car for a lord . He was not going to sell it but was going to keep it as a collection . He collects cars .

While heading to Bucheon, he turned on the radio .

As always, he watched newspapers, TV and listened to the radio to ease the gap between the two places, just after he comes back .

Now, foreign affair news . The young heir of the Rothchild, Alex Rothchild, has announced that he is a dimension traveler . It is reported that Mr . Alex Rothchild has shown the ability to use psychic powers in front of many of the Hollywood’s celebrities .

The very first news on the radio was that of a very unpleasant one . Kang Chul In frowned .

He changed the channel . It was better to listen to a cheesy radio station that to listen to the news of the Rothchild’s .

The government announced to postpone the restriction against animals and plants brought from the other world .

He didn’t actually change the channel to a music station .

The High-level adventurer Mr . Lee Sang Deuk subdued a trio of the same adventurer and handed over to the police . Mr . Lee Sang Deuk is known to be…

The world was changing .

‘The market will grow . ’

Kang Chul In thought of the near future .

Thanks to the growing trade between the Earth and Pangea, the Republic of Korea entered into a record-breaking economic boom . Needless to say, that the man who made that possible was Kang Chul In . The world was calm before the storm, and the fire was in its smallest state, yet .

/p>

Kang Chul In turned on his iPhone as he got closer to Bucheon . He wanted to call his mother as well as see the missed call he had .

Missed call: Mother (7)

Missed call: Du Sik Park (3)

Missed call: Mr . Kwon (1)

7 missed calls from mother, 3 from Park Du Sik and 1 from Mr . Kwon . It was not bad considering he was out of Earth for a month . But… There was one who left him hundreds of calls .

Missed call: Lee Chae Rin Assistant Manager (287)

Lee Chae Rin, she was the lord with the abundance skill .

He checked the time stamp .

“……?”

The last call was from 30 minutes ago . She must have called him over a week like this .

He turned on the mobile messenger application to see why she was trying to reach him .

Lee Chae Rin: Mr . Chul In . I have decided to live like a lord!

Lee Chae Rin: Are you busy?

Lee Chae Rin: Are you still in Pangea?

Lee Chae Rin: Let’s meet when you come back! I haven’t forgotten about that talk last time . I hope we can keep a good relationship as partners .

…(omit)…

The messages from a week ago looked fine . But the content of the message started to become a bit worrisome .

Lee Chae Rin: Mr . Chul In… Your phone is still off . Would you please call me back when you come back?

Lee Chae Rin: I can’t reach you today too…

Lee Chae Rin: Mr . Chul In…

Lee Chae Rin: Are you going to be out for long?

Lee Chae Rin: Help me… Mr . Chul In, please help me… If you see this message, please call me as soon as possible…

He could feel the desperation from the messages . He couldn’t know the scale of the trouble that she was in, which made her this desperate . It was clear that something had happened .

Just then .

He was receiving a phone call and the screen showed the name ‘Lee Char Rin Assistant Manager’ . The call came as soon as he turned on the phone .

“This is Kang Chul In . ”

He answered .

. . Chul In?

Chae In’s voice was trembling over the phone .

“Yes, it’s me . ”

I’ve been waiting… for you…

“… . . ?”

Can we meet? Where are you? I’ll be there .

She sounded desperate . A person on top of the edge of a mountain will sound like that .

“I can’t at the moment . ”

But Kang Chul In refused her request .

It was time to serve his mother some good food . No matter how bad others need his time, that couldn’t come before his family .

“I’m on my way home . Let me call you back tonight . I don’t have any batteries left too . . ”

I’m in Bucheon!

“……?”

I thought you would go to meet your parents when you come back… I’m in a hotel in Bucheon . I remembered that your mother works in Bucheon local market so…

“……”

She was very desperate after all . So desperate enough for her to pack up and wait nearby .

/p>

Please give me a call when you are done .

“……”

But please meet me . I… I need you, Mr . Chul In…

Her attitude made him wonder why .

‘It is not that difficult to meet her . ’

Kang Chul In remembered what he said to her when they met before .

‘But I will only help you when you really want to live like a lord . ’

‘You?’

‘I won’t spoon-feed you, but yes . ’

He even said this .

‘I will end it here . Think about it and if you think you are ready to live as a lord, then call me . Then I will think and treat you like one . ’

‘Ok…’

It is said that a man must keep one’s word .

Kang Chul In promised Lee Chae Rin that he would help her once she made up her mind to live as one . And She wanted to live as one .

Now, Lee Chae Rin is begging me to meet her . Because he gave his word, he is obliged to grant her request .

Even so, there was a possibility that she might become spoiled if he helped her without any hesitation . No wonder people say that if a favor continues, the recipient thinks that it is their right . He had to be picky about it in the beginning .

‘Fine, I will meet you . ’

Kang Chul In decided to meet Lee Chae Rin . A thought crossed his mind . He thought of a ‘reasonable reason to grant her wish’ so he thought this will be an ideal deal for both of them . He also needed her as she did of him .

But before that…

“Ms . Chae Rin . ”

He said .

“Didn’t you told me that you were going to live a life of a lord?”

He had to make sure of the things that bothered him .

I did… yes .

“Then you will have to fix your attitude first . A lord is never servile, nor they beg of other’s favors . Even if they want something from another, they will have to mask their real intentions and make the opponent to do it for them . That is the foundation of being a lord . Your actions only remind me of the Assistant Manager Lee Chae Rin, not a lord . ”

……

Kang Chul In’s words made her speechless .

“I wouldn’t even meet you in other circumstances . A naïve lord is nothing but a prey for other stronger lords . Like how the lions never talk to the deer . ”

……

“This is the last chance . If you show the same attitude as today in the future… Then that will be the end of our relationship . If you want to talk to me as one lord to another, you have to show it to me with your attitude . ”

/p> I’m sorry . . no . I will . I will keep in mind what you have told me, Mr . Chul In .

Her voice recovered slightly from before . She seems to realize the position of a lord from Kang Chul In’s advice .

“Let’s meet now . ”

Finally, Kang Chul In told the very words that Lee Chae Rin wanted to hear the most .

Re…Really?

“But, before that . ”

……

“There is one condition . ”

Anything . Anything is conditions will be heard if I can meet you, Mr . Kang Chul In . ”

“Are you good at BBQ?”

BBQ?

Because of this unexpected term, a slight hint of dumbfounded tone could be heard from her voice .
