Chapter 5 : How to win by the obsessed person!

Always aim for the top!

‘What a great saying.’

It means you should be prepared to be the best at whatever you do.

Without that kind of resolve, you’ll inevitably be swept away by the currents of life’s river.

You’ll end up drifting aimlessly like a water hyacinth, being pushed around here and there.

Of course, not everyone can be at the top.

But does that mean you should give up?

Will you run away from the fear of seizing a proactive and ambitious life?

Everyone knows that there’s no paradise there anyway.

In the end, what matters is being confident and proud in the face of life.

Whether you become the best or not isn’t that important.

‘Of course… it would be even better if I became the best.’

And.

I was qualified to be the best.

I was qualified to be the pinnacle of the internet broadcasting industry.

“What on earth are you talking about…”

* * * * * * * *

After a short vacation, I returned to Korea.

-Beep!

After completing immigration, as I exited the arrival hall, I was instantly surrounded by large men in black suits and sunglasses.

Their identities were… agents of the Korean National Intelligence Service who approached me with the purpose of coaxing me not to emigrate to the United States after I won the Powerball lottery worth trillions of won… was, of course, not true; they were simply a close protection team to guard me.

I looked up at the bodyguard team leader next to me and asked.

“Chris. Where is David?”

Chris McNair, the black bodyguard team leader from a US special forces unit who was three times bigger than me, replied with a grin that didn’t match his intimidating face at all. I heard he was from a unit called Dev-something. Judging by his eyes, he seemed to have some skill in killing people.

“Kim, passport problem. Need, a little time.”

Unfortunately, he didn’t have any skill in Korean.

“…You need to work on your Korean a bit more. Try hard, Chris.”

“What? Okay. Korean, try hard.”

“Sigh.”

I sighed lightly.

As I looked at the travelers who were glancing at me, wondering if a famous celebrity had arrived with bodyguards, I saw David Kim running towards me, panting, from the arrival hall in the distance.

“You’re late.”

“I apologize, there was a minor issue during the passport check, which caused a slight delay.”

What kind of problem could an American have during a passport check? Suspicious, very suspicious.

“Just to confirm one more time. You really don’t do drugs or anything, right?”

Just in case, I asked again to confirm, and David Kim freaked out.

“I don’t! Absolutely not! How much longer are you going to talk about drugs?”

“No, I’m just worried.”

But drugs are dangerous, drugs are.

‘The third Evil God used a drug-related power.’

Because of the power used by that Evil God, not only the empire but also the priests of the central church built in the holy land turned into drug addicts.

In the end, by beheading the Evil God, I prevented more drugs from being spread, but the enormous number of drug addicts produced remained.

If the Saintess hadn’t worked hard, the world might have been destroyed.

“Well, if you don’t, then that’s fine. Right?”

“…Please stop talking about that.”

I patted somewhere between the waist and back of David Kim, who groaned with a fed-up face.

Unfortunately, David Kim was too tall for me to pat him on the shoulder.

It is truly a regrettable thing.

Then, shall I think of something satisfying instead?

“How is my house?”

At that question, David Kim’s eyes, which had been looking blank until just now, instantly changed to those of an elite financier who graduated from Yale.

“I received a report that the interior construction and furniture arrangement of the Trimage penthouse you told me to purchase earlier were completed yesterday. You can move in from today.”

“Very good. David is good at his job as always.”

And good at Korean.

When I complimented him, David Kim’s face became slightly subtle.

Is this person aware of the story of Hwang Hui? I didn’t mean to make a racist joke.

“Ahem, in addition, we are looking for a site to build your house in the Yongsan-gu area. The cost is approximately…”

“I’ll check that in the written report as well.”

“…Okay. But are you actually reading the reports I’m sending you, Chairman?”

David Kim looked at me with a look of disbelief.

“I trust you’re not just skimming through them.”

…Of course, I read all the reports David Kim uploads. Although I’m still learning about the related knowledge, so I can’t understand all the contents of the report, I never just skim through it.

‘But how dare he doubt me?’

I know the perfect answer for times like this.

I smiled and stared at him.

“If you’re curious, you could try doing something stupid.”

Like, embezzlement or breach of trust?

I shrugged my shoulders and sent David Kim a look filled with the thoughts I had accumulated in my previous life.

He flinched as if he felt the pressure of my thoughts, and then he avoided my gaze.

“…No.”

Yeah, yeah. How dare you doubt your heavenly Chairman.

“Haha.”

That’s right. I am now the Chairman.

To be precise, I recently took office as the Chairman of [Top-Star Inc.]. Definitely not a pop star.

I expressed it as if I had done something great and amazing, but I just started my own company to manage my money.

David Kim will have to work hard to manage my money in the future, and if I don’t incorporate, I’ll be hit with a huge income tax bomb.

“No matter how much I think about it, the company name Top Star seems a bit strange…”

“I’ll take that to mean you think my name is ridiculous, right?”

My name, Seong Won.

It uses the characters for ‘achieve’ (成) and ‘top’ (元).

I carefully translated that into English and came up with Top Star.

[Top-Star Inc.] is the company name that came from that!

“No, I absolutely didn’t mean it that way, but still, the company name is Top Star…”

David Kim grumbled. It seems he’s embarrassed by [David Kim. CEO. Top-Star Inc.] written on his business card. I don’t know why he’s embarrassed by that.

“Besides, where did ‘Star’ even come from? I may not know Chinese characters well, but I know that your surname doesn’t mean ‘star’.”

“The English word for ‘achieve’ didn’t have a good ring to it.”

At my answer, David Kim covered his face.

“Well, think positively. You’re the CEO, anyway.”

Surrounded by bodyguards, David Kim and I left the Incheon Airport departure hall.

When we got outside, black and long limousines and SUVs were prepared.

Receiving curious gazes from all directions, I got into the limousine that the driver opened for me.

The soft leather seat gently wrapped around my body.

The fatigue accumulated from the long flight seemed to melt away.

Of course, it was less comfortable than the recliner seat installed in the first class of the plane, but that couldn’t be helped.

After all, that seat reclines backward.

–Whirr.

“…This one reclines too.”

It even reclines all the way, to the point where you can lie down. But it might be dangerous, so I should only recline it a little.

“By the way, when can I see my butler?”

At my question, David Kim flipped through the documents.

“Hmm… I hear they’ve already arrived in Korea. The hotel is also close, so you should be able to meet them right away.”

“I see. But what kind of person are they?”

Then, David Kim’s face stiffened for a moment.

“I gave you their personal information last time, Chairman.”

“Ah, I forgot.”

That document is probably in my Hawaiian shirt pocket, but it’s in my travel carrier, so I can’t see it right now.

I asked if he had a copy, but he said he didn’t.

“Well, it doesn’t matter. You must have chosen well.”

Surely it won’t be a strange person?

* * * * * * * *

“I am Miley Mckee.”

It arrived. A strange person.

I swallowed dryly as I looked at the person who entered the interview room.

The other party is a woman who is scheduled to be hired as a butler to oversee my daily life.

However, the moment I saw her face, I couldn’t hide my awkward expression.

It’s not because she’s a woman despite being a butler. Of course, it’s not because she’s a blonde-haired, blue-eyed Caucasian beauty from France, nor is it because she’s much taller than me, at 180cm, with a well-proportioned body.

‘This one…’

Somehow, I think I’ve seen her somewhere before.

No, she’s quite familiar.

While I hesitated, unable to speak due to the terribly familiar feeling in my mind, David Kim, who was interviewing with me, asked with a bright smile.

“Oh, you can speak Korean?”

“I studied.”

“This can really be seen as a strength. Usually, women who come out of the butler academy learn Arabic or Chinese.”

“I can speak most foreign languages. If there is a language you request, I will show you that I can speak it now.”

“Ha, haha. There’s no need for that…”

David Kim was slightly embarrassed by Miley’s stiff, soldier-like response.

However, David Kim, being a professional, soon regained his composure. He continued the interview well.

He periodically glances at me, seemingly concerned that I, the person hiring the butler, am not asking any questions and keeping my mouth shut…

Honestly, I didn’t have the mental capacity to worry about that.

I didn’t even hear the conversation between the two. It wasn’t the time to worry about such things in the first place.

It felt like this moment was a nightmare, an illusion, or some kind of cruel joke.

I narrowed my eyes and carefully examined the ‘butler candidate’ named Miley Mckee.

Her tall stature and firm body would look great in subtle black clothing.

The way her long, platinum blonde hair shimmered and shone with light seemed strangely reverent and sacred.

What about her face?

Isn’t it a face that deserves to be praised by everyone?

Even in Miley’s gaze towards David Kim sitting next to me, I felt a subtle but murderous intent.

She seems to be trying hard to hide and suppress it because of the current situation, but there’s no way I, a former hero, would miss this.

I erased the black suit from Miley Mckee’s appearance and replaced it with a dark nun’s habit that only the highest-ranking nuns could wear.

‘…….’

It’s the same.

‘Even the name is the same.’

This is driving me crazy.

I took a deep breath and looked up at Miley Mckee.

No, Miley Saintpua.

‘You crazy yandere Saintess.’

How on earth did you follow me?
