next day.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I felt tremendous muscle pain.

“Ugh.”

Every muscle in my body screamed.

My legs, as well as my back and shoulders, were throbbing.

When I got up, it was difficult to stand properly.

You can’t believe your body looks like this after just doing some squats!

I realized once again that people shouldn’t do things they haven’t done before.

This is why Hellin(?) like me should stay away from Hellchang(?).

I drank some water and came to my senses.

When I checked my phone, I saw that Sunwoo had safely arrived in Korea. It looks like he slept well on the plane and suffered from muscle pain like me when he got off.

I called David.

“Have you gone to work?”

[of course. Where is the boss?]

“here… … “It’s Corey Duncan’s house.”

Originally, I was going to go to a hotel, but Corey dragged me to sleep at his house.

Anyway, what’s left is the room?

[You’ve been in LA for quite some time.]

“Iknow, right.”

I just came to LA with a friend, but I didn’t expect to stay this long.

Why on earth does this guy’s accidents never end? … .

But something happened again!

This time, it is an event so big that it cannot be compared to neo-Nazis and the UDT Engine.

“I went to Leon Laclair’s birthday party yesterday.”

[You must have liked it.]

“yes. It was very flashy. “I spoke to Leon Laclair and he said he would like to meet David.”

[Do you mean me?]

“yes. “You like Leon Laclair, right?”

[of course. I think I almost watched the movie.]

“So I asked him to come visit the company later.”

Up to this point, it was just small talk.

I slowly got to the point.

“Do you know someone named Ming Liu?”

[I’ve heard the name. Aren’t you currently serving as an advisor to 1IDB?]

“oh! “As expected, you know.”

[yes. Because 1IDB is famous. But why are you suddenly asking that?]

“I met him at Leon Laclair’s birthday party.”

[I think I heard that he often appears at Hollywood parties recently.]

“It wasn’t just that, he hosted the party himself. In addition, I even gave Leon Laclair a $10 million Picasso painting as a gift.”

David expressed interest in those words.

[Do you mean Picasso’s painting?]

“yes. I heard he bought Rihanna Kirisi a $350,000 Ferrari for her wedding and gave singer Escher a Basquiat painting.”

[It’s huge.]

“I’ve never seen anyone spend this much money on a gift.”

[I’ve seen it before.]

“uh! really?”

David said jokingly.

[Didn’t the boss give a $200 million house to an acquaintance as a gift?]

“ah… … .”

right. It did.

From my perspective, it was such a trivial gift(?) that I even forgot that I had given it.

“Anyway, don’t you think it’s a bit much for money spent as a fan?”

[It’s definitely excessive.]

“When I saw that, I got a little curious. “Please gather some information about Ming Liu.”

As always, David didn’t ask why I did what I ordered.

[By when can I send it to you?]

“You don’t have to send it away. I’ll go to the company. “Let’s go and talk.”

[All right.]

* * *

Corey was up first.

“Did you sleep well?”

“yes.”

He wasn’t alone.

Before I knew it, Jane and Eden had arrived.

Jane said with a bright smile.

“I came to exercise today too.”

Maybe that’s why she tied her hair up and was wearing short leggings and a bra top.

This is truly a desirable outfit.

Of course, to exercise.

Eden is also wearing sportswear, as if she came to exercise.

He looked at me and said.

“It’s been a while since I last saw you, and I was disappointed that we couldn’t talk much.”

“I saw yesterday that he only talked to women.”

Like a Hollywood handsome man, he was busy chatting and surrounded by women.

It was fortunate that photography was prohibited at the party, otherwise women would have lined up to take pictures.

Eden said with a sigh.

“That’s right. I wanted to talk and play with other people. It was difficult because women kept talking to me. But I can’t ignore people who say they are fans.”

“… … .”

what?

Is this guy bragging in front of me now?

Corey said, clapping his hands.

“ruler! “Now that we’re together, let’s start exercising today.”

I was taken aback by those words.

“me too?”

“of course.”

“I did it yesterday.”

“Jane did it yesterday too.”

“Yes, but… … .”

Corey said it as if it were so obvious.

“I worked out yesterday, so I should do it today too. I did squats yesterday, so bench press would be good today. “I’ll stick next to you and help you maintain your posture, so don’t worry.”

“… … yes?”

After a hellish time.

We washed up and had lunch. And we spent some time chatting.

Jane and Eden couldn’t hide their surprise when Corey announced that he would be playing the lead role in the World of Warlords drama.

“wow! “World of Warlord!”

“I’m so excited!”

As the sun slowly set, Corey clapped his hands again and said,

“ruler! “Let’s exercise before dinner!”

“yes?”

What does this mean?

“I did the upper body in the morning, so I have to do the lower body in the afternoon. Let’s go deadlift! I enjoy it the most when I exercise my lower body. So exciting!”

Looking at their expressions, they seem really excited and don’t know what to do.

“… … .”

What is this guy?

scared.

next day.

When I opened my eyes, I felt tremendous muscle pain again.

“Uuuuu!”

What on earth did I do? There was no place on my body that didn’t hurt. Even if I got hit, I don’t think it would hurt this much.

I told Corey right away.

“I’ll just go now.”

Corey said regretfully.

“Are you going already? “Get some rest.”

“no. “I got enough rest.”

In fact, I couldn’t rest at all.

Every time I tried to rest, someone kept forcing me to exercise.

Corey said, putting his hand on my shoulder.

“Today I plan to work out with a special superset. How about just doing this? “It only takes three hours.”

“… … .”

When I heard this story, I felt like I had to escape at the speed of light.

Won’t I die if I stay here for a few more days?

Now that I think about it, is that why Sunwoo quickly returned to Korea?

I said with a straight face.

“I feel a bit uncomfortable about Ming Liu. “I think we need to find out as soon as possible.”

Corey nodded as if he had no choice.

“Hmm, then. Come visit again anytime.”

“yes. see you next time.”

I’ll never come again.

* * *

After saying a brief goodbye.

I immediately boarded a private plane and departed for New York.

It takes about 5 hours from LA to New York.

Thanks to waking up early, it was around 2pm when I arrived.

No matter how busy you are with work, there is a place you must visit when you come to New York.

O’Connor Pub, which can be said to be the original location of O’Connor Burger.

As the O’Connor Burger has become famous, the popularity of the O’Connor Pub is also soaring day by day.

Originally, it was only open for dinner, but due to the influx of people, it recently started opening for lunch as well.

When we arrived, the pub was already full and there was a long line out front.

Surprisingly, Korean was heard in the line.

“How long do I have to wait for this? “Can’t I just eat something else?”

“What do you mean, brother? “My friends say that if you come to New York, you must eat a hamburger here.”

“Can’t I just go to a chain store?”

“no no. Eating at the main restaurant is different. “We have to take pictures here.”

Many people appear to be tourists as well as New Yorkers.

Has it suddenly become a must-visit course for tourists?

I’m happy that O’Connor Pub has become a New York specialty, but I’m sad that I can’t eat it.

I don’t know if I can eat it today if I wait in line now.

But don’t worry.

“Procrastinate!”

I turned my head and saw Trish running towards me, waving her hands and panting.

It looks like some kind of puppy is running.

Trish stopped in front of me and gasped.

“You don’t have to jump.”

“Hehe! “Go in quickly.”

We proudly ignored the waiting line and went inside.

If you come with the owner’s daughter, the problem will be solved.

* * *

The O’Connor Pub kitchen was busy due to the influx of orders.

Since space is limited, most take-out options are available. Fortunately, I was able to sit at the table thanks to the owner’s daughter.

“Business is going very well.”

Trish nodded.

“I was surprised too. “I never thought there would be this much crowd starting at lunchtime.”

Please note that the owner and chef, Carl O’Connor, comes to work in the evening and is no longer available.

Even though it’s broad daylight, everyone is ordering burgers and dark beers.

Still, we also ordered beer.

I clinked beer glasses with Trish.

Cold dark beer went down my throat.

“Big.”

This is happiness!

People do not necessarily have to have a lot of money to be happy. Some people can feel happy even with a cold glass of beer in an underground workhouse.

Of course, having more money makes you happier.

I drank beer and ate hamburgers and French fries.

It’s an O’Connor burger that I always eat, but it tastes different when I eat it at the main restaurant.

“iced coffee.”

Trish asked in surprise when I suddenly moaned while I was eating well.

“What’s wrong? “Where are you hurt?”

“It’s not that, it’s because of muscle pain. “I worked out with Corey Duncan.”

“Hey, really? “Working out with Corey Duncan.”

I nodded moderately.

“Yeah, whatever. “I think it’s a good lesson in life.”

“People who like sports say it’s their dream to work out like him.”

I achieved that dream.

For the sake of my health, I decided to stay away from Helchang(?) for the time being.

“Do you feel better?”

“hmm… … .”

I definitely feel like I have a bone disease.

I said it as if I was secretly bragging.

“Cory said I’m good at sports.”

“really?”

“yes. Do you know how many pounds you bench pressed?”

“How many pounds?”

“Let’s see.” So, a 25-pound disc… … .”

I told them the maximum weight.

I didn’t need to mention that I received Corey’s support.

Even without support, I could lift it on my own.

Trish tilted her head slightly.

“Eh? Are you confused with kilograms? “Sometimes I go to the gym with my dad, and I lift more than that.”

“… … .”

Now that I think about it, Carl O’Connor was also Hell Chang(?), right?

It seems that he trained his daughter strongly from a young age.

I said as if making excuses.

“I have a bad shoulder.”

Is this a chronic disease of office workers?

Trish said as she ate her burger.

“Anyway, there’s a lot going on in the gaming industry. “It’s the same with the neo-Nazi incident and the UDT engine incident.”

“Well, Sunwoo solved everything well.”

Thanks to this, Kang Seon-woo’s reputation grew even higher.

“But didn’t you originally say you were going to Silicon Valley?”

“I was going to do that, but something came up.”

“What is it?”

I slowly started talking.

“I went to Leon Laclair’s birthday party the day before yesterday.”
