The trail I wanted to lead him to was the outskirts of Ground Zero, where the cleanup was nearing its end.

Choi looked at the grass that had begun to grow in the ruins and let out an exclamation point.

"Busan and Daejeon will grow grass like this. It's really great. Is it the efficacy of the Holy Stone?"

"As you can see, yes."

Throughout the area where the cleansing was taking place, the highest grade sacred stones were placed.

This is because most of the sacred stones that are mined have been diverted to this side. Add to this the divine power emanating from the temple and the power of the divine tree, and the speed was even faster.

It was expected that all cleanup work would be completed within five days.

"If we can clean up the magic pollution so quickly, countries will drool."

"Well, we've decided to make a deal with the Japanese government this time."

"Oh dear. I'm ashamed of myself."

"Suddenly?"

"When you first said you weren't accepting donations, I honestly thought it was ridiculous. I wondered if a religious group that didn't accept donations could be sustained. But after all, Pope Kim had a plan."

I laughed and replied to Mr. Choi's words.

"As you can see, our denomination is self-sufficient."

"I'm good at smelling money, but I don't think I'm going to be self-sufficient at this point."

It's okay that the denomination is still small right now, but as time goes on, more money will be needed.

I smiled and nodded at Mr. Choi's smirk.

"I'm going to try to find someone to manage the church's finances. Would you be willing to help us?"

"If you leave it to me, I'll spend it all on drinks."

“…… No, I don't want you to do it yourself.......

"I know, I know. I've been playing pranks. He is the one who manages the finances. Looks like you need a CFO. Certainly, if you're going to run a foundation or a business, you're going to need a professional workforce, including a financial manager."

If you look closely, Aiden is like that, and so is Representative Choi. He possesses intelligence that is not commensurate with his brutal size.

While Aiden specializes in diplomacy, this one has a real "representative" vibe.

Is the current trend to hide intelligence rather than power?

"There's one person who just rights. I'll tell you to come here soon."

"You don't have to be overwhelmed. You know?"

"He's the first to show interest. I don't know his personality, but he's a good guy, so I think you can meet him and decide."

Seeing as he laughs while saying that, it seems that they are on good terms.

Is it a friend or a family member?

If you are someone that Chairman Choi acknowledges, your ability is guaranteed. There's no reason not to meet him.

Mr. Choi laughed heartily and continued.

"After you went to Japan, you seem to have made up your mind. The Remen Cult is about to get into full swing."

"I've talked a lot with Ryu Jin-young Awakener in Japan."

In fact, until I first came back to Earth, I thought that I and my family would just have to eat well and live well.

I didn't come back to preach, I came home to relax.

But the moment I saw the wyvern flying against the backdrop of the Yanghwa Bridge, I realized it was just wishful thinking.

And from that day on, the goal changed.

"The Remen Church will be the strongest fence for my family and my people."

"If it's a Limen Order, it's not a fence, it's a fortress."

"It's such an overbearing and isolated image. A fence where anyone can enter and exit freely. That's good."

"What if someone hostile climbs over the fence?"

"I don't know. I hope that doesn't happen."

I paused for a moment. He looked at Mr. Choi, who had asked me a question, and said quietly:

"If something unfortunate like that happens, we need to set an example so that it doesn't happen again."

Mr. Choi stroked his chin in response to my answer.

"Isn't it possible to prevent misfortunes from happening in the first place?"

"We usually call it intimidation, Mr. Choi. By the way, what kind of business did you tell me earlier?"

"I have something to say about distribution."

Health bracelets and other relics that will be made in the consecrated sanctuary in the future.

Mr. Choi brought me an answer faster than I expected.

"My father wants to see Pope Kim."

"If You Say Father......."

"He's also the chairman of the Wired Group. I don't think I'm a son, but he's really good."

He even meets with the heads of government of a country, and it is not unusual for him to meet the chairman of a chaebol group.

However, it is also true that we are instinctively a little reluctant.

"You know that religious people should avoid businessmen as much as politicians, right?"

"You can meet in secret. Honestly, you can get away with the reporters and the paparazzi if you want to, right?"

For a moment, I added a lot of calculations in my head.

It's a wired group.

I intend to build a good relationship with the Goblin Guild and Representative Choi, but the Wired Group is a different matter.

However, you don't have to be negative.

It would be possible to have a win-win relationship with corporations, similar to the current relationship between the Remen Church and the government.

If you need something from each other, you can trade it for a fair price.

At least our denomination is quite open in that regard.

"Good."

After a moment of contemplation, I nodded in response.

"When is the date okay?"

"The sooner the better."

I don't think it's Chairman Choi's father, but he has a hot personality.

The pope of the Remen denomination has a duty not only to take care of the faithful but also to develop businesses.

This is because only then can we actively carry out the relief business.

In other words, going to meet a businessman is not against doctrine.

"I think it would be okay to see you after the Japan-South Korea summit is over, don't you?"

"It's going to be a meeting with a lot of variables. I agree."

"Tell them you'll see me in the next week or so. It's going to be a busy week."

At my clear answer, Mr. Choi nodded in satisfaction.

He concluded with a hearty laugh.

"Great! Now that you've done your business successfully, why don't you have a cold drink to celebrate your return?"

“…… Again, avoid the barbarian."

"Yes?"

"There's something like that."

If you meet a doppelganger, you die...... Oh, in the case of the two of you, you'd rather eat your doppelganger raw.

After all.

I can't wait to go home and rest.

I want Siyeon and Baeksul to take me and smoke a lot.

I could only sigh as I put off Choi, who was trying to cling to me until the end.

If I go home today, I'm not going to do anything.

Anything.

7.

My willingness to leave work was quickly dashed, and I had no choice but to stay in the temple to take care of my business.

It wasn't until 10 p.m. that I was able to get home.

Nyaaa

Snow white greets me when I return home.

She rubs her face on my leg as if it were a family reunion. He wondered if Shinsoo could be so cute.

"Brother, are you here?"

"Big brother!"

In Wook and Siyeon also came out to the front door to greet me.

"Brother! What about my gifts?"

"Yes, the Japanese prime minister will take care of an island next week. Is that enough?"

"You said it was an island with a lot of flowers, didn't you?"

"Of course."

"Good!"

Does Siyeon know the value of the gift of an island.......

"Then let's build a resort and make a lot of money, big brother. We're just going to build a marine leisure facility!"

"Huh?"

"My family is rich now! Hehe!"

…… You seem to know all too well the value of gifts. It's embarrassing to me.

Siyeon squirmed in front of me for a long time. Soon after, he took her into his room.

Inwook looked at Siyeon's back and insinuated to me.

"Do you accept investment?"

"What an investment."

"I've saved up a lot of money. If you can, take out a loan and invest ........"

It seems that all my siblings are not normal.

I patted him on the back and then took a piece of bread from the table.

"It's not a family affair."

"Well, what about my gift then?"

"Look at your account."

At my words, Inwook hurriedly looked at his phone, and then he looked at me and had tears in his eyes.

"10 million won? Bro!"

"A special bonus for you for taking care of Mitube. Our denomination is very good at making money."

"I'll continue to do my best! Form! Don't you want anything to eat? As long as you have the ingredients at home, I'll make them for you!"

After all, there's nothing like money to promote friendship.

I smiled as I looked at Inwook, who was beginning to burn with passion.

"How's Mitube going?"

"It's been a while since we've surpassed 1 million, and at this rate, we can shoot ten million in half a year, right? Overseas traffic has increased tremendously, especially since yesterday, and the influx from Japan was no joke. Is that right, bro, is there a fan café?"

"To the fan café?"

"There's nothing strange about it. Save South Korea, save Japan. Isn't it?"

I felt it at the airport earlier, but it seems that my popularity has definitely increased a lot.

By the way, there was also a crowd of reporters in front of my house.

I need to move to a place with better security as soon as possible. My family is also my family, and it is a nuisance to the neighbors of the apartment.

"That's right, bro, are you going to post only worship videos and sermons and things like that on the official remen channel?"

"It's not. Since communication is the main purpose in the first place, why don't we add some other content?"

"I've got an idea, would you like to hear it?"

Look at the fuel in your head and your motivation is on fire.

It's a nice change.

"Tell me."

"Listen carefully, bro, that's why......."

I smiled happily and listened to Inwook's story for a long time.

After all, the most relaxing nights at home with my family are the most comfortable, I thought.

"Aiden, if you're a Black Pope, you'll be of enough help to us, right?"

"Is that so? Besides, he's already at odds with the Purifier, those insane bastards. He's the kind of friend who will help us. I guarantee you, boss."

"Are they behind the attack on the South Korean Ministry of Excellence and Management building? 」

"Maggie. Si Woo Kim already knew about Magi. Did I tell you? Kim Si Woo, he's no ordinary cult leader."

Aiden Howard lay on a sunbed by the beach, taking a sip of whiskey down his throat.

He wiped his lips and said:

"It's real. He's real. Unlike the Pope of the West, the Pope of the East is just a bastard. Do you understand?"

"The Pope of the West?"

"You know that old man in the Vatican. Oh, don't you have it now?"

「…… The Vatican did not fall, Aiden. It's just that the power has weakened a lot. The Pope of the East, by the way. That's a good way to put it. And don't you think you're more suited to be called a bastard?"

"A gentleman's ruin. Even if you're the boss, you're so rude."

A sigh came over the tablet. After a moment, his voice became somewhat rigid.

"The Chinese side is moving the Awakener power towards the Yalu River. It's not just a training scale. 」

"Are you going to forcibly occupy North Korea?"

"There is a possibility that the South Korean government will discuss the North's advance in earnest. After all, it's true that there are various resources in North Korea, including Ma Jung-seok. Now that the South Koreans have irregulars, they can't stand idly by. 」

Otherworldly minerals, including magic crystals, are classified as the most valuable strategic resources on Earth today.

Aiden was a returnee, but he wasn't so insensitive as to be unaware of those interests.

"Okay, so what's my role?"

"There is one point that will be discussed at the South Korea-Japan summit. As soon as the contents of the talks are announced, you will head to the U.S.-ROK Combined Forces Command. 」

"That's good news. What can I do in Korea?"

"I'll give you instructions later. Until then, I hope I continue to build my friendship with Kim Si Woo. I'll also provide you with information about the villains inside the Republic of Korea, so you can use it well. I'm sure there are quite a few of them related to the Purifier. Ideal. 」

- The call has ended.

When the call ended, Aiden put down the bottle and stood up.

He stretched lightly, basking in the hot sun.

"Korea."

He thought of the mad pope he had met not long ago.

The madman who threw spears without mercy. He was terrifying.

But that's why it was even better.

Mad people are attracted to crazy people.

"It's going to be fun for a while."

Licking his lips with his tongue, Aiden strode away.

It was the moment when another headache was born for Kim Si Woo.

Please stop our Pope
