Money-grubbing Necromancer (238)
“What did you bet on?”
“This is a photo of Lord Merhen. I put it up so that only the apostles can view it. And… … there was a little bit of material compensation added.”
Liang Xiaojun, who had said so, showed me the chat window. There was someone who clearly seemed to be an insider, talking about the restrictions on the central government.
“Are you writing in Korean?”
“I’ve been studying hard not only speaking but also writing these past few months. I’m pretty good at it now. Anyway, the main point is this. There are a lot of hidden corruptions. And the credit constraints that are on the rise these days are a strong competitor.”
Emergence of a powerful competitor.
They said that the newly inaugurated CEO was messing up the management and that he committed fraudulent accounting to hide it.
From inflating sales to understating expenses, overstating assets and manipulating profits.
It is said that he even had ample slush funds behind him.
“Is this true?”
“Yes. Luckily, there was a board member there among the senior believers. If not, it wouldn’t have been easy to find out. So… … Is there an empty board member position?”
“Oh, is that guy aiming for that?”
“I think so. It’s widely known that our cafe is related to Kim Min-woo. Of course, you don’t have to give it to me.”
“You didn’t commit corruption together?”
“I heard that it wasn’t true. He said that he was clean. He said that he just assisted. He said that he couldn’t stop the higher-ups from doing something… … Well, that’s how things are in this world.”
“Then tell them not to worry, I’ll give you a seat.”
If only he hadn’t committed corruption.
Assisting is something that most company employees do. Rather, isn’t exposing internal corruption considered a special case?
“Is this okay? I haven’t checked your abilities yet… … .”
“The problem is that there are too many capable people in Ilseong. If you don’t like it, why don’t you just put him in the position of an advisor and pay him his salary regularly?”
“That’s true.”
Certainly, there was nothing Kim Min-woo couldn’t do. Even if you only consider his personal assets, it wouldn’t be a burden at all.
“But, does it seem like it’s going to explode soon?”
“Just a minute. It’s probably going to explode in a few months.”
“It is useful.”
I admit it.
Death Cult, that thing.
It seemed very useful in terms of obtaining information. Of course, the fact that the Jungyong Restriction was in danger was not information that was difficult to find out. If Ilseong’s information team wanted to, it would be information that could be extracted in less than half a day.
‘But getting it out within 5 minutes is a different story.’
Of course, the biggest thing is that there are directors of the Jungyong Pharmaceutical Company among the members… … .
Even with that in mind, it was still useful. As the group grows larger, its usefulness will only increase.
“If there’s anything you want, just tell me.”
“Hehehe. That’s… … .”
The guy smiled wickedly.
Then he spoke loudly and clearly.
“I am currently the head of the parish. Excluding the only believer, Kim Min-woo, and the four commanders, it is the highest position in our church.”
“How did you get the consent of the other apostles?”
“Actually… … I borrowed some of your influence. As you all know, wasn’t I the first one chosen by Kim Min-woo?”
“That’s right.”
“So… … I pretended to know a lot. I’m sorry.”
“No, not something like that. Actually, you were the one who knew the most.”
“I was lucky. I still feel dizzy. If I hadn’t been in nearby China, and if I hadn’t been selected for training… … I wouldn’t have become a parish priest.”
“Why do you think so?”
“In terms of military power, Mikhail of Russia is superior. In terms of nation, Andrew of the United States is superior. On the other hand, in terms of growth potential… … Sadly, he is unable to overwhelm other necromancers.”
“I see. But to me, force is not important. Even if the acorn is big, it’s just a waste.”
“Yes. I am well aware of Kim Min-woo’s skills. To reach the world ranker from level 1 in just 6 months is an incredible feat! Perhaps, out of all the Awakened people in the world… … there will be no Awakened people like Kim Min-woo.”
This was Liang Xiaojun’s true heart.
Even the legendary Sword Master couldn’t grow this fast.
The same goes for Isabella, who is still active. The path they took for years was broken by Kim Min-woo in just half a year. It is amazing now, but what will happen in the future?
“Even a fool would know what the trend is. After the previous meeting, I persistently suggested the establishment of a cafe and persuaded the other apostles. Even without Kim Min-woo saying anything, it was because we had to prove our loyalty first. But… … .”
“however?”
“The other apostles couldn’t see far ahead. Only Sakura-san from Japan agreed, and the rest of the apostles were like, “Isn’t it really necessary to go that far?” They were like, “What’s the point of just establishing a café?” Isn’t that really foolish!”
thud!
Liang Xiaojun’s eyes flashed with madness as he slammed the table hard.
“Think about it! How can we, mere beings like us, be of any help to Your Majesty? We’re already way ahead! It’s hard to even catch up! So we should actively do other things that can help so that we won’t be abandoned later and can advance together with our lord! They didn’t even know such obvious truth! Ha! They’d make a fuss about an SS-rank necromancer! They’re all idiots! Oh, except for Sakura-san.”
Liang Xiaojun said that and gulped down a bottle of water.
“Anyway, I’ve always insisted on that, and only after Kim Min-woo entered the world rankings did the apostles hastily agree. They must have known that if they didn’t do something like this, they could be abandoned overnight.”
“… … Am I that kind of image?”
“To be exact, Death Lord… … well… … kind of… … right?”
Ah, I can admit that Lord has a bad temper.
In terms of giving abilities, he was a demon, but in other aspects, he was an extremely questionable character.
His followers seemed to be aware of it too.
but…….
Because I saw memories from my past life.
“admit.”
“That may be why there were quite a few people who had suspicious thoughts about the successor, Kim Min-woo… … and wondered if he might have that kind of disposition.”
“Don’t worry. I’m human, not a lich.”

“Yes, that’s really fortunate. Anyway, I plan to continue growing this cafe.”
“how?”
“The reason why it was opened exclusively for Korea was because the government was watching. Right now, I can’t openly reveal my status as a parish priest. I’d be subject to checks from the Communist Party. That’s why I’m appointing a vice president instead… … What about later?”
“Are you talking about a future where you become a commentator?”
“Yes. If the positions of each apostle are elevated like that… … the power of the Death Cult will also increase like crazy. The reason is simple. We plan to make the cult the official religion of each country.”
“It won’t be easy.”
“I will do it. No matter what opposition I face, I will do it. So… … I hope that Mr. Kim Min-woo will not… … abandon me.”
“I promise you this here. The position of the parish priest will be yours forever. Even if a better necromancer appears, it will be the same. No one will be above you except me and the commander of the legion.”
“… … !”
Liang Xiaojun’s eyes shook violently.
‘at las……!’
Up until now, his position has been extremely weak. He knows Kim Min-woo well, he awakens quickly and has a high level, and he is connected to Chairman Kim.
For various reasons, he was promoted to the position of parish priest, beating out other apostles, but it was not officially ‘recognized’.
The one at the very top of this cult and the successor to the Death Lord, who is virtually treated as the only god.
It was because I wasn’t recognized by Kim Min-woo.
In the end, it was infinitely unstable in terms of legitimacy. That couldn’t help but make Liang Xiaojun anxious.
Chinese comment?
The top position in a country with a population of over a billion people was sweet, but he secretly realized that it was a half-sham position.
Compared to Korea, which has a bright future, or the United States, which is currently the most advanced country, isn’t the only advantage it has in terms of population?
Born as the son of a migrant worker, he spent his childhood starving.
If he hadn’t been lucky enough to awaken, his life would have been filled with darkness.
That’s why Liang Xiaojun was so greedy. It was only natural that he didn’t want to go hungry again.
To be more specific, I wanted to hold a higher position and more power. But that would be impossible as the Chairman of China.
Kim Min-woo may not doubt Liang Xiaojun’s loyalty, but he will doubt China itself. The country he loves is not China, but Korea.
That’s why the second solution I found was the Death Cult. It was a place where the most successful necromancers would gather, and it was an organization that had the potential to become a group that would encompass the world.
The group of 13 necromancers, including Kim Min-woo, may have had a weak start… … .
‘It has the highest potential.’
All of the members are SS-class necromancers and are highly anticipated prospects from each country!
Also, if Kim Min-woo reaches out, there is no reason why he cannot become the leader of each country in the future.
If there is no tiger, the fox is king, what if he could take the second place here?
You can truly become the ruler of the world!
That’s why I couldn’t help but be moved.
At this very moment, the position of the world’s second-best has been solidified!
“Thank you! Thank you so much!”
“I’ll create a chat room, so if you have anything to report about the Death Sect, please do so directly.”
“Oh! I will do that!”
I even got a direct hotline to contact the person in charge.
It was a harvest beyond imagination!
-Oh, Ryang. Congratulations.
“Thank you! Thank you!”
Knock knock.
Merhen patted his shoulder as if encouraging him.
Liang Xiaojun was seen reacting with tears streaming down his face.
‘That’s the price?’
Is it because your loyalty has grown to the point where you cry over just one word? Or is it because your acting skills are that great?
I don’t know.
Maybe it’s both.
In any case, since he was the one who was leading and acting the most among the apostles, there was no reason why he could not be given the position of second in command.
To be exact, if you include your legion commander, you’d be about the fifth person in command, but whatever.
If you give them a hat and treat them well, wouldn’t you get your money’s worth?
“Okay, I’ll go now.”
“Yes! I will now step aside! If you have any orders, please contact me at any time!”
Liang Xiaojun left the room with a happy face.
-Isn’t he cute?
“Huh? Is that your taste?”
-No! Not like that. You move around diligently. Like a squirrel looking for an acorn.
A squirrel looking for an acorn.
If you think about Liang Xiaojun’s face, it seems like a really cute metaphor…
That’s what I thought.
Surely my ability to find my own way of life might be top-tier?
‘So he must have been a parish priest.’
The parish priest was a fairly high-ranking position under the Death Lords, ruling over a region. You could think of him as a sort of provincial governor.
Anyway.
“How do you feel? I heard your enemy is in that situation.”
Srrrr.
Black particles gathered in the air and took the shape of a human being.
“I didn’t think that bastard would run the company well. But I didn’t know he would destroy a perfectly good company so quickly.”
Lee Seo-yoon, who appeared, smiled as if she found it interesting.
