Chapter 65

And then, she headed back down the corridor towards the living room.

As she looked out at the fantastic view once again, Han Ganghee led her to the left side of the living room.

"The kitchen is amazing too."

Built-in refrigerator, oven, microwave, dishwasher, wine cooler... the high-end appliances were all standard.

"Isn't the island also really cool?"

"Could I sleep on top of it?"

The island table was so large that two adults could lie down on it, and the marble surface shone brilliantly.

Finally, the small room.

"The small rooms are two, and both are quite large. One has a Han River view. It's being used as a study right now."

...It's a small room, but it's really big?

Sitting at the computer desk, you can enjoy the blue Han River just by turning your head, wow.

"And this room has a northeast city view. When the lights of the old three major buildings and the art center are on, it's also beautiful."

The massive mixed-use buildings visible outside the window.

Suddenly, I thought of the video I saw the other day.

'...This place is really a land of rivers and mountains, isn't it?'

It was just a perfect location.

"This is the basic stuff. Please take a look around the rest, customer."

"Ah, yes."

But there was an important question left.

"What's the asking price for this place?"

Han Ganghee glanced around the living room and then answered quietly.

"He wants to sell it for 50 billion won, but if you decide quickly, it can go down to 48 billion won."

Eh? 2 billion won isn't a child's name, and it's a discount? And real estate agents are flooding in?

I also lowered my voice and asked.

"How is that possible?"

"The commercial area is about to explode."

The commercial area exploding... I didn't know exactly, but I had a rough idea. Probably a situation like the Mangwon buildings.

"I see. I'll think about it for a moment and let you know."

"Since there are only two options, think carefully. If you don't like either, you can look for another place."

Han Ganghee sniffed and then deliberately made a loud noise.

"Then I'll have some tea with the owner. Take a look around. Hehe."

After Han Ganghee left, I asked Tamcoco.

'Guys, what do you think?'

Actually, I didn't need to ask.

From the moment we arrived, Tamcoco had been excitedly flying around the window.

Coco was enjoying the ambiance, gracefully leaping through the air, and Tam was flying around her, busily flitting back and forth.

Seoul Forest, the Han River, the sky, and Tamcoco.

The scene was beautiful.

'They're so well-behaved, taking walks on their own.'

But I wondered if Tamcoco would tell me about any flaws in the house, like last time.

──Korororo!

──Pewpewpew

They passed through the wall and flew off somewhere again.

'No problems, right?'

So, it ultimately came down to my decision.

I tried to organize my thoughts.

The house was undeniably great.

There was the Han River view I had only dreamed of.

And it even included Seoul Forest.

Seoul Forest was beautiful to look at, great for walks, and had fresh air.

Plus, it was a new building.

The interior and facilities were perfect, requiring no modifications, and I could move in and live there right away.

The amenities were also incredible.

But there was no need to nitpick.

'Compared to my current room, hahaha.'

The price was 48 billion won.

With taxes, it would be around 50 billion won.

'Am I... 50 billion won?'

It was an amount I had never even imagined in my life.

The most expensive thing I had ever bought was the <Unnamed Nameplate> at an auction.

Even that was only a few million won.

'50 billion won... '

But the conclusion was, yes.

The house was great, but other things caught my eye.

First, Lee Sehyeong, whom I met in the elevator.

Han Ganghee had clearly said,

[This is a building where celebrities live as non-celebrities.]

It was a building where people with even greater influence in Korean society than celebrities lived.

If I lived here and got to know even a few of these people, what would the economic value be?

Second, Seoul Forest and Seongsu-dong.

When I talked about Trimalium with Gu Jihyun, I had only thought, "I like the Han River, I like Seongsu."

But now, it was different.

Seongsu-dong looked like a land of opportunity.

Amuse would eventually need a proper large store, and Seongsu seemed like a great location.

It was also a good place for angel investments, art investment, and starting new businesses.

'So this would be my new capital.'

The decision was made.

But there was something I needed to verify.

I listened to the voices coming from outside and then carefully closed the door.

'I can't help but be suspicious.'

After meeting Han Ganghee, things had gone too well. It was strange.

On the other hand, from Han Ganghee's perspective, it was the best situation.

Winning the favor of a rich fool.

Showing a good house, then a better one.

Coaxing by saying it's a rare listing.

The owner pretending to receive calls from other real estate agents to gain trust.

Selling a flawed property for a huge amount.

'I would have fallen for it if someone had tried to scam me.'

Just in case, I took out a small notepad and pen I had prepared and wrote down the following:

[Han Ganghee is trying to sell a flawed property to Shin Yuwon.]

[Regarding the sale of Saint Han River Forest A3701, Han Ganghee has lied to Shin Yuwon.]

[Regarding the sale of Saint Han River Forest A3701, Han Ganghee has a secret she hasn't told Shin Yuwon.]

[Kim Jinhee is not the actual owner of Saint Han River Forest A3701.]

[Kim Jinhee has not told Shin Yuwon about the significant flaws of this property.]

...

I went out to the living room.

Han Ganghee and Kim Jinhee, who were having tea, noticed me and asked, looking very curious about my answer.

"Customer, have you seen everything?"

"How is it?"

Instead of answering, I took a deep breath.

Then, looking out the window at the Han River and Seoul Forest, I said,

"I'll sign the contract. The price is 48 billion won."

At the mention of 48 billion won, both Han Ganghee and Kim Jinhee's eyes widened.

Just like when I mentioned the office the other day, a string of text appeared in the air for a moment and then disappeared. I didn't know what it was, but it didn't matter.

At this moment,

My whole body was tingling, and my heart was swelling with emotion, leaving no room for other thoughts.

The days of living in university dorms and moving from one rental to another flashed before my eyes.

Owning a home in Seoul.

It had been nothing more than a wild fantasy for me.

[Saint Han River Forest A3701.]

My new address.

*

The next day.

Once again at Saint Han River Forest 3701.

Thud─!

I stamped the contract with a satisfying thud.

"Phew, thank you."

After signing the preliminary contract yesterday, I had checked all the worrying parts.

I had quickly taken care of all the necessary pre-contract tasks, such as bank limits and foreign currency exchange.

Because,

"Big sister, they're calling again? They must be crazy, these people."

Kim Jinhee had received dozens, even hundreds of calls from various places just yesterday.

I wanted to prevent any chance of it being snatched away.

Han Ganghee handled the situation professionally as usual.

"Responding to all those would be a job in itself. Just write 'sold' on your messenger profile. What's the point once the house is sold?"

Then she patted my shoulder.

"Anyway, congratulations, customer. You've really made it, haven't you? Hehe."

"Thank you, all thanks to you, Manager."

Really. I was truly grateful.

I even felt bad for suspecting Han Ganghee yesterday.

'But it couldn't be helped. The amount of money involved is huge.'

With that, the contract work was completed.

And when I transferred the 4.8 billion won deposit to Kim Jinhee's account,

──Congratulations!

──You have completed the quest [Professionalism: Buying a Home]!

A quest completion message appeared before my eyes.

'Oh, I've even completed my first quest!'

But something was strange.

The quest reward was supposed to be 500 Glory, and that was it.

But the text kept appearing one after another.

Maybe it's better to save Glory?

"Since the move is urgent, we agreed to pay the remaining balance in one go without an interim payment. Please come to our office at that time."

"Yes, that's fine."

"I'll give you the notary's number now. It's convenient to contact them in advance about the transfer of ownership."

Han Ganghee even informed me of the small details that could easily be overlooked.

"By the way, you said you're looking for an office, right? Leave the conditions in a message. If it's not urgent, I'll introduce you to a few places on the day of the final payment."

Just hearing that made me feel secure.

"Manager, you're the best."
