Securing My House (2)

This is only 28 million won!

‘Wait. No matter how I look at it, this is the Namsan Leech’s house?’

Namsan Leech.

A vicious one among vicious ones that once it bites, it sticks until it sucks all the blood and never lets go!

Someone who doesn’t care what it is as long as it makes money, and who finds it fun to suck blood-stained money!

The bastard was a big shot in underground finance who controlled Itaewon and Yongsan up to Seoul Station, and the damn guy who harmed my master.

The bastard had great pride in this house.

-Hahaha, the most capable fortune teller in South Korea guaranteed it. This place is where all the money and power of South Korea are swept up.

-Ordinary people can’t avoid dying violent deaths suppressed by this house site, but I’m different!

-See. Since moving here, every job I touch turns into a jackpot!

The bastard had elaborately decorated this house splendidly.

In particular, he liked holding wild parties every weekend by calling lots of women and subordinates.

That bastard openly laughed every time we met, saying our house was a multi-family house in Sillim-dong that was all collapsing.

‘Even if nothing else, I feel like I definitely have to buy this house?’

That guy lived just fine in this house, so why couldn’t I live here?

“I want to see this house in person.”

“Just looking at the documents is enough. It’s exactly as shown in the documents. Don’t waste precious time going back and forth······.”

The real estate agency uncle began laying out documents on the table one after another as if he had been waiting.

“These days, apartments are still the best. Wake up and house prices shoot up! It’s perfect for investment too.”

“I said I like this house?”

“Aish, going there is······ ugh!”

The real estate agency uncle flinched while laying out the apartment documents.

Because Secretary Kim was glaring coldly.

“Please stand up for a moment.”

“W, why are you doing this?”

“It seems the young master’s words aren’t getting through well. I think I need to clear the ear holes for a bit and come back.”

“Let’s go! I’ll guide you right away!”

The real estate agency uncle stood up abruptly.

“Shall we move in my car?”

The real estate agency uncle’s car was a 1,600cc Cortina.

He must have given rides to so many lottery wives that the leather seats in the back were shiny.

On the rear shelf, instead of air freshener, there was a quince, and real estate documents in paper envelopes and a Seoul city map book were rolling around.

“······?”

As Mother was about to quietly get into the back seat, Secretary Kim extended his arm and stopped her.

“This way.”

It was the latest Mercedes parked in front of the store.

Secretary Kim opened the back seat door himself and said.

“Please get in. I’ll escort you personally.”

The real estate agency uncle opened the passenger door and muttered in admiration softly.

“Wow, the car is really nice. The heater is so strong······.”

When Secretary Kim’s eyes flashed, the real estate agency uncle immediately closed the door with a bang.

“You need to follow my car well?”

* * *

Honestly, it was better than expected.

‘This house is money-wasting starting from the stone wall.’

Large and small pebbles were piled densely up to 7 meters high.

This is really a job that eats money.

On top of that, incandescent lights were prettily hung here and there.

‘The exterior walls used the highest-grade bricks, and the European-style balcony is sophisticated. From the roof to the windows, everything is decorated with the highest grade. It feels exactly like a European castle.’

I like it.

‘How much are the land prices around here, and a high-end house like this is only 28 million won? At this level, it’s not a bargain, it should be called dirt cheap.’

The more I look around, the more satisfied I become.

‘The swimming pool was properly made too. The garden trees and garden stones are all expensive ones picked and planted densely. Even if I sell all of this, a decent sum would come out?’

Even if I clear the mansion and just resell the land, I could sell it for more than 28 million.

This is a house that makes money no matter what if you buy it!

‘I wondered why such a good house came out at a dirt-cheap price, and now I think I understand the reason a bit.’

However, there’s a very minor problem.

“Ha, haha. The owner is currently recuperating, so management has been a bit neglected recently, they say.”

How long had the garden not been managed.

In the place of the lawn, weeds had grown to the height of an adult’s waist and withered, and even the highest-grade pine bonsai planted as garden trees had been smashed and dead branches hung limp.

“Let’s just look at the price! 28 million won is practically a bargain. How much are the land prices in this neighborhood. You can’t even buy a Gangnam apartment of the same size at this price.”

The inside of the mansion was even more spectacular.

Broken furniture was covered in dust and spiderwebs everywhere, and the wooden doors had their hinges come out and were dangling.

Every time the cold winter wind blew, an unpleasant creaking sound came from somewhere.

‘That kind of thing isn’t even a problem.’

Just tend the garden, clean the inside of the house, and fix the items, and that’s it.

“Leaving out how many people died and left this house.”

Yes, that was exactly the problem.

I looked curiously at the ghosts wandering around the mansion.

“Young Master, this is the place where a total of 7 businessmen, including President Kim of Iseong Trading, President Choi of Daeryuk Machinery, and President Park of Mankuk Chemicals, were ruined and died.”

Secretary Kim uncle also seemed to know about this.

“Also, political figures were the same, failing elections and leaving. A total of 8 people including Assemblymen Kim Cheol-ho, Lee Tae-gwang, Yang Hyo-won, and Park In-seop lost the election and started prison life.”

“Ahem!”

“Shall I also list the legal figures who died sudden deaths such as traffic accidents or being found as bodies by the Han River? That side is a total of 9 people.”

“Kheum!”

“It has become known among high-ranking figures in politics and business as a house possessed by ghosts. It has probably been neglected for several years.”

I snapped my fingers.

‘Hey, guardian deity.’

Swoosh.

The underworld messenger rose up like smoke.

‘The ghosts here, can you handle them on your end?’

[Of course.]

The underworld messenger looked around briefly.

When eyes met, the ghosts were startled and trembled.

[I’ll drag these bastards to the underworld right now······.]

‘Wait! Wait a minute!’

I shook my index finger left and right.

‘That’s after the contract is stamped.’

It’s not even my house yet, so there’s no need to go out of my way to perform an exorcism.

If the owner sees this and changes his mind and says he won’t sell, it would be troublesome.

“Such an ominous mansion is not a property that a precious young master should be interested in.”

“Jeong-hyeok.”

Mother leaned toward me and whispered softly.

“We only have 10 million won. Even if we want to buy here, it seems we can’t?”

The sale price of this house is 28 million won.

The cash we currently have is only 10 million won.

It meant we had to prepare the remaining 18 million separately.

‘The ghost problem seems like it can be solved simply, and now the only thing left is the money problem.’

Of course, there is a way to solve that too.

And there is also a reliable corner.

‘If I go with Secretary Kim uncle later, it seems the money problem can also be wrapped up cleanly.’

This is reassuring.

Luck was good.

To think Secretary Kim uncle would move together with us.

Thanks to that, even the money problem that would have been difficult to solve alone seems like it will be resolved easily.

“Customer, you saw the documents and thought this was it, but when you actually saw it with your eyes, were you disappointed? There’s no need for that. We have Gangnam apartments!”

The real estate agency uncle took this opportunity and began taking out apartment documents from the paper envelope he had brought.

“Small ones probably won’t catch your eye, so large ones would be good. Originally, the bigger the house, the better! The bigger the better, shall we say?”

The will to sell Gangnam apartments no matter what can be felt.

Then, a very excited voice was heard from the garden side.

“Hyung, did you see the stone wall of this house? Wow, the style is no joke! I really like it!”

It was the voice of a boy who had just entered puberty.

I think I’ve heard it a lot somewhere.

Is it an illusion?

“The roof, the balcony, the pillars, even the exterior walls are so flashy! I guarantee, if I bring girls here, they’ll all fall for it!”

The boy’s laughter was so loud that it rang all the way here.

“Wow, there’s a swimming pool too! Good, this birthday present is decided as this house! Hyung, contact Mom right now and tell her to contract immediately. Hahaha!”

The voice is getting closer and closer.

“So what if it’s a house possessed by ghosts? Just destroy it all this time and put up a new one. This is physical exorcism! Then what can they do? They’ll be forcibly enlightened!”

It was a confident voice.

“It seems the young customer already likes this house very much from the start.”

“It’s cool! It’s stylish! It’s fancy! It’s perfect for bringing friends to play!”

“You were lucky. This property just came in as an urgent sale today and is being introduced for the first time. Surely the owner of this house will change today······hmm?”

Bang.

The front door opened.

Some uncle, a man in his mid-thirties, and a puberty boy tried to enter the house and stopped.

A fifteen-year-old brat who looks ill-mannered!

‘Namsan Leech!’

No, how did I meet that bastard right here?
