I Became a Scoundrel of a Chaebol Family-Chapter 327

Go Min-young had slept for an exceptionally long time.

She had slept so long that it was already the next morning by the time she woke up.

Someone might say that it's natural for a person to sleep until the morning, but the time she fell asleep was early yesterday evening.

To put it simply, she had slept for nearly sixteen hours.

So, when she woke up in the morning, she was extremely startled and almost angrily asked why no one had woken her up.

We (Kang Hye-young and I) answered that we didn't wake her because we thought it would be good for her to get a full rest.

She quickly calmed down, but she said something to me that was incredibly girlish.

"But... the time I can spend with you is more precious than sleeping..."

The moment I heard that, I wanted to push her down immediately.

But I held back with superhuman patience.

If I started embracing her from the morning... I felt like the entire day would be lost.

'If it weren't for tomorrow's meeting with Go Hayan... damn it...'

If that hadn't been the case, I might not have held back.

I would have spent the whole day enjoying that exquisite pussy that would trigger a climax time attack as soon as I slid in.

But if I did that, all my plans would get completely messed up... so I forced myself to hold back.

'There's still tonight...'

"The RK-99's level of completion is incredibly high. It's to the point where it could be used as-is right now. Moreover, the manufacturing method is extremely favorable for molding. If you allow us to license its production, we could implement it across all sectors right now and achieve a technological quantum leap. Can you make it happen?"

After exchanging just a light kiss, we jumped straight into business.

Naturally, the main point of discussion was the application and pricing of the RK-99.

Where, how, and how much to produce, and how to supply it.

How it would be used and at what price it would be brought in—this kind of highly practical discussion continued.

"If you can meet the price properly and ensure security, licensing production is definitely possible. Honestly, I’d even suggest it myself. But is that feasible? We're talking about a room-temperature, ambient-pressure superconductor. I'm not sure security can be maintained."

"We'll use knights. There are several factory cities that operate solely with knights. Security is absolutely foolproof. Even if there is a chance of leakage... it would only be to the other sisters."

"The other sisters..."

Are they using even the knights under Go Hayoung or Go Seona?

How large is the scale that they can operate like that?

"Actually, it would be more secure for our Militaris to handle production rather than you, Muyeol. We'd dedicate an entire factory city to the production, and the distribution would be handled directly through our internal knight network. The cost would be significantly higher, but given our Militaris' nature, we often require extreme security. It's not an uncommon case."

"So, you're saying you have know-how in maintaining security."

"Exactly."

That might actually make sense.

Even if I handled the production, it’s not like Baek Seol and I could just be stuck working on it forever.

In the end, I'd have to disclose the recipe to someone for production, and the only ones I could absolutely trust would be Baek Seol, Eun-hwa, Seo Aram, and Seo Eun-mi.

If I were to stretch it a bit more, maybe Soo-ah?

Including the knights Go Min-young lent me, it would amount to nearly twenty people, but since they could be recalled at any time, I couldn’t fully trust them.

"Then how about this? We'll handle the mixing process at Muyeol Chemicals."

"W-what? Muyeol Chemicals?"

"You already know the baking process, right? Why not handle that at Militaris’ factory? Wouldn't that work?"

"...Your company is really called Muyeol Chemicals?"

"Of course, we’ll still supply the finished product, but since Militaris has such a large demand... Ah, and if it's another company operated by Min-young, we could apply the same contract terms."

"Your company's name is... quite unique."

Oh, come on.

"...I ignored it on purpose, but did you really have to point it out?"

How embarrassing.

"But still, Muyeol Chemicals..."

"..."

"Well, it's Muyeol, after all. Can't be helped."

"Why can't it be helped?"

Seriously, she’s subtly looking down on me.

"Your father was the same. ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) He was terrible at naming things. He got scolded by Grandpa a lot for it, but he never changed. Did you know that? Your original name."

"...My original name?"

What the hell?

I had an original name?

"Technically, it was just a prenatal name, but he intended to use it as your actual name. I still remember it clearly. Go Gyewool. Isn't it hilarious?"

Are you fucking serious?

Go Gyewool?

What kind of name is that...

I mean, if it were a girl, I could at least understand, but naming a guy Go Gyewool?

That’s practically a capital offense.

"Since you're the same bloodline as that guy, it can't be helped. I understand."

"...I'm offended."

"Haha. Sorry?"

She laughed without a hint of sincerity.

Damn it.

If she weren't my woman, she'd have been smacked upside the head right then and there.

"Anyway, what do you think? Isn't this a pretty good deal?"

"In all honesty, I'd like for us to handle the entire production from start to finish~."

"...That's a bit..."

"Can you supply the quantity we want?"

"You can buy as much as you want. Though we haven’t even discussed the price yet, and it definitely won’t be cheap."

Go Min-young smiled in a way that was almost endearing.

"That's refreshing. I never thought I'd hear a man say that to me."

"..."

"Well then, since we’re already talking about it, why don’t we set the price? But let me tell you in advance, whatever amount you’re imagining, the volume I want will be much higher."

So she wants me to set the price with mass production in mind... is that it?

"How about a hundred million won per gram?"

"..."

Go Min-young looked at me like I was insane.

It wasn’t even a once-in-a-blue-moon expression—it was literally the first time I’d ever seen that look.

"...Are you serious?"

"I'm joking."

"A joke..."

She let out a soft chuckle and casually dropped a chilling remark.

"If you price it too high~. I'll just take it myself."

"..."

"Kidding~."

Oh, come on...

What the hell is she doing, saying something she could actually do...?

It doesn't sound like a joke at all...

"Haha... I see. So, you want a hundred million won per gram, huh?"

"I said it was a joke..."

"A joke... but half-joking, half-serious, right? You wouldn't throw out a real joke in a setting like this, would you?"

"..."

If you're going to say it like that,

Aren't you implying that the thing you just said was also half-joking, half-serious...?

"How about this? I'll go up to twenty million won per gram. But in exchange, I'll take shares in Militaris."

"What?"

"Well... as I mentioned before, I was planning to pass it down to you and Minji anyway, so it's practically the same as giving it to you. But still, isn't it a good deal? If we can get the RK-99 supplied at a reasonable price, Militaris' profitability will improve significantly. The technological gap will widen even further. That way, your profit from the shares will somewhat offset the cost. Plus, holding shares in Militaris isn't just about receiving profit."

"But Grandpa doesn't like the idea of giving away shares..."

"It's not that he doesn't like it; he's worried. Worried that you'll drop everything and turn into a layabout."

"Hmm."

"And it's not just giving them away—it's a transaction, right? He won't say anything about something like this."

"I see..."

Twenty million won per gram, plus shares in Militaris...

I don't know how much of a stake she'd give me, but honestly, the actual price I had in mind was around ten million won per gram, so even this is already a huge win.

"Just to clarify, by twenty million, you mean twenty million won per gram, right? Not twenty won."

"Of course. What do you take me for...?"

"And how much of a stake are we talking about...?"

"Hmm, about one percent?"

"!"

One percent of Militaris!

Don't underestimate that number just because it seems small.

Militaris isn't just a subsidiary—it's a colossal military-industrial complex in its own right.

Even the biotech companies under it could easily rival the megacorps of some countries, and Militaris owns all of that.

"...Alright. Let's do it."

"Deal."

The price was set.

Under the condition that I receive one percent of Militaris' shares, the RK-99 would be sold at twenty million won per gram.

Of course, if we delve deeper, there will be a lot of details to hammer out.

Are we talking twenty million per gram in its raw, mixed state? Or as a finished product?

But if we start getting into the nitty-gritty now, it'll be endless, so that can be dealt with later with a proper negotiating team.

'At this rate, Muyeol Chemicals is going to become the ultimate cash cow.'

Tomorrow, during the meeting with Hayan, we'll be officially discussing the RK-77.

The initial reaction during its first unveiling was great, so the sales volume for that is expected to be significant as well.

'If I sell just one kilogram, that’s two hundred billion won. One ton would be twenty trillion...'

Muyeol Financials?

No matter how many investment tips I hand out or how much those investments skyrocket in value, there's no way it could keep up with this kind of profit.

'I'm starting to feel like billions are just numbers now.'

This is what being a chaebol feels like.

It feels good. Refreshing, even.

"Oh, by the way, Muyeol."

"Yes?"

"Your... Muyeol Chemicals is going to be making an absurd amount of money. How are you planning to cover it up?"

"Cover it up?"

"You're not planning to fully reveal the RK-99 yet, are you? And I don't want that either."

"Right..."

"A company that nobody’s ever heard of suddenly selling some mysterious product at twenty million won per gram... What are you going to say it is? You can't exactly call it a drug, can you?"

"Ah... that's..."

Damn.

I hadn't thought about that.

"Eventually, the truth is going to come out. That you have something absolutely extraordinary."

"..."

"And it might need to be revealed much sooner than you think. To the rest of the family, and to the world."

She's right...

That's definitely something I need to think about more seriously.

The flow of money is a lot more transparent than people think.

'...Do I actually need to disguise it as a drug?'

But even if I do that, calling it a drug that sells for twenty million won per gram is...
