I Became a Scoundrel of a Chaebol Family-Chapter 405: 40. The Eve
Saturday, August 1st.
It’s officially been nearly a year since I became Go Muyeol.
...It’s a strange feeling.
It feels like so much has happened, yet it hasn’t even been a full year.
I guess that just means I’ve been living every single day to its fullest, right?
‘I’ve probably fucked a few hundred women already, so yeah... It’s definitely been one hell of a year.’
I unlocked [Virgin Collector] Level 3 two months ago, so just counting the virgins alone, I’ve taken over 500.
A year is 365 days, and it hasn’t even been a full year yet. That means I’ve been screwing women at a truly insane pace.
Impressive, really...
And even while going around fucking all those women, I managed to grow the company to this size.
Of course, most of my net worth is now tied up in my 1% stake in Koryo Prestige, but even excluding that, my assets exceed several hundred trillion won. It’s the result of working myself to the bone.
Thanks to that, even my first secretary and now current head secretary in training, Soo-ah, became a billionaire worth hundreds of billions, maybe trillions. And to think, she was just a dirty cop before she became my secretary.
This is what they call the trickle-down effect, right?
BWOOOO—!!
A massive ship blared its horn as it tried to dock at Muyeol Land’s harbor, which is still under expansion.
The sheer size of that thing isn’t even outdone by the Super Yacht moored next to it. That’s the “Emergency Power Support Vessel” I bought outright with a lump-sum payment.
It doesn’t have any combat capabilities, but by classification, it’s still considered a warship—my first warship, technically.
“Holy shit, it’s huge.”
“Well... it has to perform various support missions.”
True to its name, the primary function of the ‘Power Support Vessel’ is to generate and supply electricity.
But there’s no way something that massive only does that. It’s basically a multipurpose support ship that can handle pretty much any auxiliary task. You could say I crammed every possible feature into it.
“But it kinda looks like an aircraft carrier. The deck’s flat... and wide.”
“I believe it’s also designed for aerial support operations. They primarily use drones, but in emergencies, it can carry up to two mechs.”
“Oh?”
Then isn’t this practically a bootleg carrier?
That opens up a lot of possibilities.
“Could we load Snow White (Baekseol’s personal mech) on it too?”
“...”
Seung-hee narrowed her eyes, scanning the vessel.
“...Unless we perform massive modifications, it’s going to be difficult.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Snow White is simply too large.”
“Hmph.”
No wonder Militaris tried so hard to miniaturize that thing.
We can’t load it anywhere. Couldn’t even fit it on the Titan, so we ended up building a new one altogether.
At this rate, until the new Titan is launched, Snow White will have to deploy directly from Muyeol Land, no exceptions.
“But, Master... Did you really buy that thing... just for travel purposes?”
“Yeah. Moving Muyeol Land requires at least that much. It’s not like I can just extort the city every time.”
“...”
She looked unconvinced.
I can’t really tell her I bought it for Sybilla’s sake.
“Besides, even if not for that, it’s got plenty of uses. In emergencies, it can stabilize power grids. Or I can send it to cities with electricity shortages and sell them power. Worst case, I just integrate it into my fleet later. There’s no shortage of ways to use it.”
“But... twenty-three trillion won...”
“...”
“If your plan is to sell electricity to recover the investment... being generous with the numbers, you’ll need to operate it for another 30 years.”
“...”
“That ship was commissioned in 2048. It’s nearly 30 years old already. Without a full overhaul of the shielding and facilities within five years, it might not even be extendable. And the overhaul itself will cost several trillion won. Factoring that in, it’ll take over 40 years to break even.”
“...”
“It’s essentially a giant floating power plant built for military purposes. Structurally speaking, it’s impossible to profit from it. Militarily valuable, perhaps. But financially? Pure waste. You’d be better off constructing a large-scale power plant on Muyeol Land itself.”
“...”
Min-young... what the hell happened?
We had such a good time, parted ways on great terms, even promised next time.
So why the hell would you dump this garbage on me...?
“Ahem, Seung-hee.”
“Yes?”
“Do you know what a man’s romance is?”
“...No, Master.”
“Romance... comes from wastefulness.”
“...”
“...”
“There’s no such thing as romance without waste.”
“...I see.”
“Forget the price, focus on the functionality. Just look at it—what a magnificent sight. It can power this entire floating island. In emergencies, I can load two mechs on it for long-range strikes. Or use it to transport massive quantities of supplies.”
“Of course, in all aspects, directly mobilizing Muyeol Land itself would be far more efficient.”
“...”
Hey, shut up.
“Twenty-three trillion’s pocket change. It’s fine. Who worries about recouping the cost of chewing gum?”
“...If you say so, Master.”
“Just to be safe, set up an energy-related corporation under one of my exclusive driver’s names.”
“Understood.”
VROOOOM—
While I was bantering with Seung-hee, the ship finally finished docking.
Looking up at that massive vessel towering overhead—it sends chills down your spine every time.
And it’s not some cruise ship or yacht. It’s a warship. That characteristic restraint and intimidating aura only makes it more overwhelming.
“Nice. Good purchase. It’s badass. Men need romance.”
“...”
****
Nicknaming the Emergency Power Support Vessel ‘Pikachu’ and checking it out killed enough time that evening rolled in.
It’s almost time for yet another one of those goddamn family meetings, and apparently Minji-ah is coming today.
“Our Ji-ah’s so diligent. Even with her schedule, she still comes at least once every two weeks.”
“She regularly shows her face at the association as well.”
“And she’s managing Hyejeong properly too?”
“Everything’s going smoothly. She hasn’t missed a single report.”
“Knew it. My aunt’s capable. Sharp and efficient.”
As I absentmindedly kneaded Seung-hee, receiving the update on Park Hyejeong’s infiltration under the alias Heo Ye-won, the news came in—Minji-ah had arrived.
She’s my aunt, after all. I should greet her.
“Y-y-your Young Master... I-I hope you’ve been well...”
“Aunt, we’ve known each other for how long now? You’re still shaking like that. You cold or something?”
“...Forgive me.”
Minji-ah, trembling as usual, stood before me.
As always, her look was maxed out—gorgeous, flashy accessories, provocative outfit—all eyes were on her.
Honestly... I wanted to drag her off right now and fuck her senseless—
“Who’s this? First time I’ve seen her.”
“Oh, she’s... someone I acquired recently. A... gift, you could say.”
“A gift?”
Minji-ah gently pushed a woman forward.
A straight fringe with long hair flowing down her back—what they call a Hime cut.
Very tidy, elegant, classic. Has a distinct Japanese vibe. Yamato Nadeshiko aesthetic or whatever they call it.
‘Oh... she’s something else.’
Despite that demure look, she’s got an absurdly lethal beauty.
Gorgeous face, slender body—flawless proportions.
No way in hell this one’s a normal civilian.

...What?
A Daemain? But her affiliation’s BioTech?
What the fuck hybrid situation is this?
Daemains are created in the Abyss. BioTech is practically their polar opposite, a company dealing with anti-Daemain tech.
Why the hell is Minji-ah bringing me a Daemain?
‘She’s got Memory Reset listed under traits... Did they wipe her memories after capture?’
Best guess? Seong Harin was active in the Abyss, got captured by BioTech, they cleanly erased her memories, and reconditioned her.
That explains why a Daemain is affiliated with BioTech and why she’s got Memory Reset as a trait.
‘Memory Reset is basically equivalent to killing them... and she did it without batting an eye. Scary, Minji-ah.’
“So this ‘gift’... what exactly do you mean by that?” 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
“To explain properly... I’d need more time...”
Minji-ah trailed off, glancing around.
A Daemain’s not exactly a topic you blurt out in public.
Hmm...
I reached out my hand carefully.
Seong Harin, reading the mood, approached me.
I pressed my hand to her warm cheek.
Her long hair tickled the back of my hand.
“A gift, huh... That means I can do whatever I want with her, right?”
“Of course, Young Master. Whatever your desires may be... you are free to act accordingly. And—”
Minji-ah quickly scanned the surroundings and leaned in, whispering into my ear.
“She can be gene-registered, like your knights.”
“...!”
Wait... what...?
She’s a fucking Daemain... and she can be gene-registered?
“I’ll explain... in detail later.”
