“Are you here?”

“You look very tired.”

“I couldn’t sleep all night long, predicting and analyzing the stock market situation today. Whoops!”

“Am I here too early for this?”

McKay greeted Cheolwoo with eyes full of dark circles. He was temporarily using an office in Linda’s building.

“No, you came just in time. As expected, the stock is over 30% today. There is a gap, but the buying momentum is so strong that there is no need to worry about a fall for the time being.”

“So how much did you earn?”

“I made three times the net investment of the boss alone. Once in reverse, once again in reverse. And once again in today’s chapter. It would be the best record I have ever made for a short period of time.”

So far, he has invested about $900 million in McKay. Three times that is $2.7 billion. Of course, the tax would not be too high, but it was equivalent to overtaking about half of Kang-ho’s fortune at once.

“Again, you’re not surprised.”

“I am not impressed with the numbers. Maybe it was because of the cash bag I was carrying yesterday.”

“My calculation excludes shares in the company I traded in yesterday. If you add up to that, it’s about…”

“done. Just leave it as a weapon for Linda. I will use it as a shield that others cannot dare to challenge.”

“Even if there is no such thing, if only the boss is by his side, no one will dare to bring out the ‘do’ of the challenge…”

“Because I can’t stay here dying forever. I have my family in Korea, and there are people I need to protect. I also have a job.”

McKay’s eyes widened at his last words. Thanks to him, it seemed to rise up to the dark circles that had sprung under his eyes.

“ Yeah, Ji… a job? Boss, are you at work?”

“Yeah, I’m a salaried worker. The rank is a manager…. I think we talked about it when we first met…?”

“At the time, I thought it was a disguised identity. What kind of company only hires bosses as employees? According to my standards, at least the position of vice president of Google or Amazon should be given… It’s just an exaggeration… This is true!”

“Why, what’s wrong with the manager? Don’t ignore the exaggeration too much! Do you think there will be a company that runs without a manager or manager? McKay I think it’s because you don’t have a job…”

Suddenly, the adventure story of Cheol-woo’s work life began. He hadn’t experienced it for a few months, but he was the one who didn’t exist before shouting louder.

After listening silently for a long time, McKay finally fell asleep, leaning on the sofa. Cheol-woo, who was absorbed in the story for a long time, quietly left the office, leaving him as he fell asleep.

Instead, he left the other small gems on the desk, except for the rough diamonds he had entrusted to Tiffany. The note ordered the disposal of these rough stones and the management of the remaining cash and bearer bonds.

And finally, he asked for the establishment or discovery of a non-profit children’s foundation that will work around Hook Chung and MS-13’s hideout. He directed the organization to fund all dividends from his stake in protecting the children around him from exposure to violence and drugs.

Paul’s office was located in Chelsea, facing New Jersey on the Hudson River. Again, his hideout was a shabby red brick building in the corner of the roadside where buildings were not high enough.

Above the first floor of the building, there was a large sign saying ‘Gotham Pizza’. The words ‘Paul Security Service’ pasted on the windows on the second floor were not even visible because of the pizza sign.

In Paul’s office, which was about 10 square meters, going up the narrow stairs, it was very noisy with stories about pizza. When Cheol-Woo arrived, Fred and Eddie were the first to arrive.

And they were eating Gotham pizza with Paul. All three of them were devouring pizza as if they had skipped breakfast.

“Come on! The pizza here is really art… Try this once.”

Fred held up a slice of flabby pizza and forced him to try it. But Cheol-woo didn’t want to eat what was on his oily hands.

“Is this the bloodzan downstairs?”

“The only thing I liked about this office was that I could always have freshly baked hot pizza. It’s like this guy’s pizza can’t keep me out of here… Damn it!”

“Just give me three more plates so I can try it too.”

“We are already full. See, an 18-inch (45 cm) piece only costs $18. Still, they give toppings for free because they are neighbors…”

“Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! If you see that ship, even Nara will give you toppings for free. How much do you have to eat to gain that much weight, Won!”

Fred, who was folding two pizzas in half and stuffing them into his mouth, grumbled at Paul’s praise for its cost-effectiveness. It was also his talent to grumble while chewing the pizza in his mouth.

“Shut up, there’s so much to say about eating pizza.”

“Damn, I’ve only bought two pizzas, but my prestige is shaking. The guy who chewed and swallowed the whole plate by himself.”

The satiated bastards were about to start an argument with dessert. Seeing each other growl like that, it was surprising that there were no gunfires during active duty.

“Shut up, order three more pizzas. I can’t control my appetite because of the smell. Now, here’s the card! More if necessary…”

“Old story! After all, having a rich boss makes you happy to eat. Huh!”

Fred, not Paul, quickly received Cheol-woo’s black card and ran down. Going up the narrow stairs for Paul’s size seemed like a miracle.

After a while, Fred came up with a pizza box tower with the scent of fragrant mozzarella cheese. He grumbled as he laid down six 18-inch pizzas on the table.

“Damn it, you’re just buying and eating local pizza with your black card. No one will believe me if I tell you this.”

While grumbling like that, he put down the beer pack he was holding in his other hand as well. Cheol-woo, who took the card again, grabbed a slice of pizza and opened the lid.

The thin dough was crispy baked in a coal oven, giving off a fragrant smell. The thick mozzarella cheese on top had a nice color with basil.

“After all, New York pizza tastes best when baked in a coal-fired oven. There are only a few houses left that bake like that now.”

The pizza brought in by Italian immigrants was the same as the original taste. However, New York, which lacks wood, baked pizza in an oven using excess coal.

Coal, which burns better than wood, makes the pizza even more crispy. Now, with the exception of places that adhere to the traditional method, it is impossible to use coal ovens due to environmental regulations.

The store beneath Paul’s shabby office was now one of the few remaining coal-fired stores. After tasting the pizza, Cheol-woo could understand why Paul praised it so much.

The 18-inch, coal-oven fresh-baked pepperoni, basil and large Italian mushroom pizza was literally heavenly.

“This tastes amazing! It’s the best thing I’ve eaten in New York.”

“Gotham Pizza, forever!”

The taste of rolling up half a pizza at a time, stuffing it in your mouth, and chewing it so that your jaw hurts was an indescribable realm. And a refreshing sip of beer.

As Paul said, it was an addicting taste. The party inhaled the pizza mindlessly.

Cheolwoo’s eating speed was the most impressive among them. He finished the three plates in an instant, shoved his hand over the pizzas of the other party, and asked with a sneak peek.

“But where are all the people you want to work with?”

“As you can see, the office is so small that we got a training ground in the basement of the building next door. Thanks to you, my back was almost bent…”

“That’s why you couldn’t use the indigo plant at home. Because of that poor waist…”

“I will not accept criticism for the lower back. A man without a lover, let alone a wife, dares to intervene.”

“What is it, do you know if it’s all right?”

“You’ll never see a woman until you get that bad breath treatment.”

“Ugh, so what are you betting on? If you’re that confident, why don’t you try walking your wife…”

“What, this bastard really!”

Kudang! Puck puck!

As if we were hungry again, we started fussing with each other again. Cheol-woo, who was not interested, said as he looked at them after drinking the beer.

“It’s noisy, let’s go to that training ground. Buy a few more pizzas on the way…”

“Are you going to eat like that and then go in again?”

“I use that much power, so it’s okay!”

“Damn, I envy your youth.”

It was time to leave the office after the party had roughly cleared their seats. Cheol-woo’s phone rang. It was Pietro.

“where are you? I have something to tell you in a hurry…”

“Chelsea! I’ll give you the address, so come over here!”

Fred asked curiously as he hung up the phone.

“Who are you?”

“A lump full of fancy.”

“Aha, that Piero.”

Fred figured it out right away. It was a passage that showed well what he thought of Pietro.

swish! Kudang!

Whik! Awesome! Gosh!

Paul’s men were lousy. He said that he faithfully obeys orders, but what Cheol-woo needed was not a well-spoken Boy Scout.

Tick, tuck!

“fail!”

It was the final conclusion of Cheol-woo who fought against the three guys in the underground training ground as a skill test. Shaking the dust off his hands, he gave a rejection notice to all those who fell.

Those with poor basics do not improve their skills at once just by teaching them. He needed an immediate sense of power, not the future.

Paul’s sense of defense and command ability were recognized by Chul-woo. However, no matter how good his leadership was, he could never create a safe escort system with these clumsy bastards.

“Damn it, there’s only these guys in this town.”

“Still, I don’t have much practical experience with this!”

“These guys with experience in combat are either already out on the battlefield, or they’re just living like me, and they’re going to be stuck in a junkyard and burn out their military pensions.”

“Damn, I don’t have talent like this. I’d rather use the Dragon Brothers.”

“One Dragon, who is that?”

“Yeah, something like that…”

After leaving the regret behind, Cheol-woo left the basement and walked back to Gotham Pizza.

“Are you eating again?”

“Yeah, it’s delicious! You should eat a lot of delicious things while they are in front of you. That way I feel less regret when I’m not there.”

Fred stuck out his tongue and shivered with his gluttony. I couldn’t figure out why my body was so slender when I ate like that.

“Are you hungry for breakfast?”

“No, for brunch, I chewed on a thick steak. It was pretty tasty too. It wasn’t as good as Korean beef…”

Fred heard Cheol-woo’s words, and the match was about to happen. Even after eating meat in the morning, he now ate four more pizzas and three cans of beer.

Then again, I tried to order a pizza. He had to look beyond Paul’s size by his taste.

But the reality is…

“Damn, are you still young?”

No matter how much I thought about it, nothing came to my mind other than that. He has now reached a point where he is full just by looking at Cheolwoo eating.

Eddie, who was next to him, was constantly in and out of the bathroom.

‘Heh! It’s like such a stinky bastard…’

“Hey, it’s a big deal. I think something must have happened to your uncle.”

When I returned to the office, Pietro was walking around the room. She called me a while ago and told me to wait at the office for a while.

Cheol-woo calmed him down as he chewed the newly ordered pizza. Of course, no one was comfortable seeing him like that.

“Don’t rush, speak slowly. Well, well!”

“I got a call from my uncle this morning. I had something to tell you.”

“what is that? Chop~!”

“I was told to come to the master’s house in two days.”

“Girl-eun, that young man hasn’t figured out the situation yet. If there’s anything you need, tell me to come and find it yourself!”

Cheolwoo was indignant as he chewed the pizza roughly. Because of Zambito’s behavior, which he couldn’t even understand the subject, the beer he was holding was even more pulled.

“Well, it seems that Uncle was taken hostage by the Master.”

“Did he mention it himself?”

Cheol-woo, who had a drink in his mouth, asked with a meaningful look. Even just listening to the situation, there was a strong smell of conspiracy.

Like the smell of tomato-based pizza sauce on your hands… side!
