Chapter 42 : Searching for Migi (1).

­ Searching for Migi (1)

“The original 10,000,000 won plus interest. Payment has been confirmed.”

At the private moneylender, Park Wuyoung’s words, An Jaehyun turned his gaze towards him. Although it was a mysterious gaze, Park Wuyoung seemed to have figured out what he was thinking, and he smiled lightly.

“Are you suspicious because the trade ended so cleanly?”

“Well…”

An Jaehyun turned around and avoided his eyes. Although he didn’t like the fact that his thoughts were read, it was exactly as Park Wuyoung said. An Jaehyun found it hard to believe that the private loan contract had ended like some bank transfer. That was what private loans meant to ordinary people.

An Jaehyun was expecting them to play tricks on him or ask for more money. He had even walked in after preparing himself for any schemes to come.

Park Wuyoung was quite used to attitude similar to An Jaehyun’s.

“This isn’t a job you can survive in by being nice, but it’s also not a place that tries to screw over customers who pay their dues on time.”

‘I didn’t think you’d be able to do it though.’

Park Wuyoung was interested in something else.

When An Jaehyun first came in to borrow money, Park Wuyoung was sure that he would come begging on his knees to save him. Of course, Park Wuyoung had no intention of doing so. Be it selling his body or taking his room An Jaehyun signed as guarantee, he planned to get his money’s worth.

However, An Jaehyun paid back the money much earlier than it was due.

That’s what caught Park Wuyoung’s attention. As such, he stealthily changed the conversation topic.

“I know Warlord makes money, but you must be quite skilled to earn so much in such a short period of time.”

An Jaehyun did not answer the question. Instead, he asked his own.

“Can I get up now?”

Park Wuyoung also did not answer, and said what he wanted to say. He took out his wallet and gave An Jaehyun his business card. An Jaehyun stared fixedly at the business card.

“I’ll keep it short. If you’re troubled by conversion fees or taxes, feel free to contact me. I’ll take care of it for a much more reasonable price.”

Only then did An Jaehyun take the business card.

‘Does he think I’m some pushover?’

Even as he took the business card, An Jaehyun sneered on the inside.

He didn’t come see Park Wuyoung without doing his research. Although many private loaners used V-Gears for their business, not all private loaners earned their money this way.

Before returning to the past, An Jaehyun worked at a Warlord workshop, and he saw the workshop owner talking with Park Wuyoung multiple times. At the same time that he was a private loaner, Park Wuyoung also made money from illegal VR game money conversion or trade.

It wasn’t a particularly spectacular business.

To change in-game currency to money, a conversion fee had to be paid. As income tax also applied to money earned from games, many people looked for ways to decrease the conversion fee and tax rate.

Of course, An Jaehyun had no intention to do business with Park Wuyoung.

It was obvious.
