The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Chapter 52 - The Legend has returned? (3)

There was a reason Lee Gun had come to Cheongwade in person.

***

Seven in the morning, the day after the incident at the press conference!

"What did you just say?" Hugo received a rage-inducing phone call early in the morning. After taking a beating from Lee Gun, he had been in a half-conscious state. However, the phone call had woken him right up. The content of the call was that bad.

"What did you say? Gun's... You won't be able to return Lee Gun's bank account?"

- Yes. The bank account and the tributes being held by the government can't be returned to Mr. Lee Gun.

Hugo was dumbfounded after receiving the call. The politicians had been sweet-talking him earlier about returning Lee Gun's assets. They had said it was par for the course. "Why—"

How could they change so abruptly in one day? However, the person on the other side of the call cut Hugo off before he could ask the question.

- The Japanese government is overseeing Lee Gun's bank account and the tributes. Please talk to them.

Hugo was so dumbfounded that he was having a hard time speaking. "Why would the Japanese government have his..."

The person on the phone let out a long sigh, expressing his annoyance.

- Do you want me to be honest?

"Of course."

- The Korean government does not trust the Archer Saint. Weren't you originally a citizen of Australia?

"!"

- You might be taking orders from the Australian alliance. We have to be careful.

Hugo was dumbfounded. "Look here. I gave up my Australian citizenship fifteen years ago..."

- If not, is it because you need the money? Is that why you want to get your hands on Lee Gun's tributes?

"...!" Hugo was so taken aback that he was about to say something. However...

"Koohk!"

Lee Gun suddenly snatched the phone away from him.

- We know the Archer Saint is poor. Even if you're hard on money, you're putting us in a tough spot by doing this. Don't you have any dignity as a Saint?

Veins popped out on Lee Gun's face.

- Anyway, we....

"Hey, You wanna die?"

Hearing Lee Gun's words, the person on the other end became flustered.

- H-Hello?

"Where are you?"

The flustered man became indignant.

- Who are you?

"I'm the owner of the account. Why?"

- Huh. It seems he's roping in his young kid to do this. You shouldn't always take your father's side. You should study hard so that you don't have to do this.

Lee Gun laughed. Killing intent could be felt from his hand. "Shut the fuck up! Where are you calling from?"

It seemed the other person didn't like being cussed out. He sounded disgruntled.

- I'm calling from the executive affairs office in Cheongwadae. I'm talking with your father about Mr. Lee Gun's account.

"Ok. Challenge accepted."
