Chapter 171: Pangaea World (pt. 1)
âThis is probably the biggest crisis youâve ever faced, huh Rothschild?â
Inside his office, Kang Chul-In stared at the clone Rothschildâs decapitated head, and thought of how he could screw Rothschild up.
Now was a good time if he wanted to catch Rothschild.
Not only had Alex Rothschild just fought a war for the Esmerelda territory, but he had also lost Lee Gong-Myung. He was basically crippled right now.
However, since they had just fought a big war up in the North, it was a bit of a stretch to ask his army to fight another war right away.
It was also too risky to create a small squad in order to sneak into the Cyamodus territory.
âHow do I screw him upâŠ? Hmm⊠Maybe⊠I can assassinate him by myself?â
Kang Chul-In turned his gaze towards the windows. It was as if he was going to jump out at any moment.
Startled, Alfred stopped Kang Chul-In before he could move.
From his experience, whenever Kang Chul-In had that look on his face, that window had always shattered, and bad things had always happened.
âDonât tell me that Milord is thinking of breaking into Alex Rothschildâs territory alone?â
âMilord, have you forgotten? Alex Rothschild can create puppets or clones of himself. Since we donât have a way of telling them apart, it is highly possible that Milord will fall in danger.â
âItâll probably be a fake, even if I kill him. Stupid cockroach.â
âItâs Timothy, Milord!â
Kang Chul-Inâs face stiffened immediately.
Whenever Timothy came in, documents would pile up in front of his desk again. And after that?
He would have to spend the whole night looking through the documents.
âMilord~! I donât have documents! I have good news this time!â
At this unexpected news Kang Chul-In wondered for a moment whether Timothy was lying or not, but discarded the thought soon after.
As soon as Timothy came into the room, he congratulated Kang Chul-In with a happy expression.
âWhat are you talking about all of a sudden?â
âSir Adrian⊠he has finallyâŠâ
âYes, thatâs right! He has finally managed to mass-produce the âhair-growth weedsâ!â
This weed was the hope for the many bald people around the world and it was Kang Chul-Inâs way to rake in tons of money.
âAdrian has done something big this time. Make sure to give him 50,000 gold as a reward, and tell him that I was greatly satisfied⊠Actually, no, tell him to come to the castle soon so I can give him a medal of honor.â
Just like he did with James, Kang Chul-In rewarded subordinates well if they made a great contribution to the territory. Kang Chul-In thought that it would be good encouragement for the other subordinates to work harder.
âM-MilordâŠ! Congratulations⊠SobâŠâ
Tears started to fill Alfredâs eyes.
Now, and even before, Kang Chul-In had always been plagued by a lack of money, so he knew how much this meant for Kang Chul-In.
âThere will only be happy days from now. I promise that I wonât fail like I did last time.â
âKuhuk⊠Yes, milord.â
After calming down Alfred, Kang Chul-In quickly packed his stuff.
âFirst, Iâll go back to Earth.â
He had to visit Earth soon, anyway.
He had to go visit his mom and get the money from the bounties on the heads of Baruk Al-Yusuf and Abubakar.
Iâm sure that old man will be happy.
He needed to spread this good news to his business partner, Old Man Kwon. He was sure that Old Man Kwon would go crazy with happiness when he found out that they could finally mass-produce the âHair Broâ.
The first thing Kang Chul-In did when he got back to Earth was visit his mother, Park Sun-Ja.
Arshelly quickly embraced Park Sun-Ja when she saw her.
When she was with Park Sun-Ja, Arshelly became a normal girl, not the famed âPrincess of Laputaâ.
âOh~! My granddaughter is here?â
Even though Arshelly and Park Sun-Ja werenât blood-related, their relationship was akin to that of an actual family.
âHave you been busy recently?â
âCome visit more often, Okay? I thought I would die waiting so long for you and my granddaughter to come.â
Without making any excuses, Kang Chul-In apologized.
He couldnât tell her the truth.
How could he tell his mother that Arshelly had been kidnapped, and that he had to start a war because of that?
At times like these, it was better to go over it by just apologizing.
Park Sun-Ja opened her mouth again.
âWhen are you going to send my granddaughter to school?â
âSheâs so smart, so even if the other world is good, why not send her to school here?â
It made sense when he listened.
Although it would be different if Arshelly lived in Pangaea forever, it wasnât a bad idea to send her to school since she had already gotten used to the culture.
They would be able to send her back if need be using the ârecall stonesâ anyway.
Kang Chul-In asked Arshelly.
âIâm confident that I can study hard!â
Kang Chul-In was startled at Arshellyâs quick response, but quickly realized that Arshelly had wanted to go to school from the very beginning.
âWhy didnât you tell me earlier?â
âFine, Iâll send you to school.â
Arshelly hugged Kang Chul-In.
âKuhahaha! Finally, the mass production of the Hair Bro! Hahaha!â
Just like Kang Chul-In had expected, Old Man Kwon went crazy with happiness when he received the good news.
Kang Chul-In handed a box towards Old Man Kwon.
âThe heads of some people.â
âTo be accurate, it contains the heads of Abubakar, and Baruk Al-Yusuf.â
Old Man Kwon was startled.
âEven though I donât know that Abu-whatever⊠Did you just say Baruk Al Yusuf? That Arabian terrorist?â
âThereâs a bunch of money on their heads. I want you to get that money for me.â
âHa⊠What to do with this? First, I need to talk with the government, then the U.S. Hmm⊠I think I can do it, but⊠I think it might take a while since Iâm not used to doing things like this.â
âIâll give you a month.â
âUh⊠Alright, Iâll try. After all, what problem is this bounty when we can now mass-produce the Hair Bro?â
As expected, Old Man Kwon was quite useful.
âRight, how about my pet?â
âIâm still searching for a suitable one. Wait a little bit longer.â
Although Old Man Kwon seemed quite depressed that he couldnât get his pet, he didnât continue to beg Kang Chul-In after hearing the news about the Hair Bro.â
âAlso, donât you think that doing a business based on the pets will be good?â
âI donât think it will be that good in terms of pure profit.â
âEven though it looks good on paper, not all life on Pangaea is good. What if the monsters that the customer buys make a problem? Itâll be hard to clean the mess up.â
âIf it isnât an adventurer taking care of the Pangaean lifeforms, there will be some problems. I think it would be a waste of an adventurer to be doing something like petting animals.â
âHm⊠I guess that makes sense.â
âIf you understand, donât think of such stupid things and make sure you work on advertising the Hair Bro.â
âThen how about a theme park? Where we have a theme park with life from PangaeaâŠâ
âDidnât I tell you? It doesnât make sense that normal people would be able to take care of PangaeanâŠâ
âHuh? But thereâs one thatâs already opening?â
Old Man Kwon spoke with a confused expression on his face.
âPangaea World. Havenât you heard of it?â
At this, Kang Chul-Inâs face started to stiffen. Out of all the bullshit he had ever heard, this was the most innovative bullshit.
Soon after, Kang Chul-In looked up âPangaea Worldâ on his phone.

[Column] 5 Reasons Why Pangaea World is Amazing
[News/Lifestyle] This Coming Weekend, Pangaea World is Coming!
The media was extremely noisy about this.
-Mortel: Iâm buying Pangaea World tickets~! Please sell them to me~!
-Gotgu: Honestly, going is a waste of money⊠(I wanna go too)...
-NorthWord: (Pic) I already got a ticket~! Nice!
-Kjy0904: The poor are cryingâŠ
-Bugcatcher: lol⊠it seems kinda like Jurassic Park⊠They even said thereâs a 40m snake⊠LmaoâŠ
Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and even the World Community. The netizens were hot on the opening of this new âPangaea Worldâ.
After looking through the news on his phone, Kang Chul-In opened his mouth.
He didnât think that there would be a madman that would think of opening this kind of theme park in a small place like South Korea.
âThis damned theme park is going to open? In three days?â
âOld man, did you invest in this?â
Old Man Kwon shook his head.
âEven though they offered me⊠I didnât do anything before I could contact you. After all, I donât know anything about this stuff.â
âOld man, you just nearly threw away your money.â
âJust looking at the list of monsters⊠Thereâs a 100% chance that theyâre going to lose money.â
Kang Chul-In showed Old Man Kwon the pictures of the monsters that were on the list of Pangaea World.
âHm⊠What about them?â
âDo you really think that these monsters will be satisfied with the food given to them?â
As if he realized something, Old Man Kwon clicked his fingers.
âBecause they eat other things?â
âExactly. Even though there are some monsters that are fine with the food that people feed them⊠There are also some monsters with weird appetites. Like this one.â
Kang Chul-In pointed at a giant snake that looked like an anaconda from the movie Anaconda [1].
âGorgatris, level 50 monster.â
âItâs a monster that has the âEye of Overdoseâ.â
ââEye of Overdoseâ? Do you get poisoned by just looking at it?â
âOnly if you look at it head-on in itâs eyes.â
âAh, thatâs why they put a blindfold on it.â
âEven though thatâs quite smart of them⊠Do you know what its main source of food is?â
âAnd not just this one. There arenât just one or two existences here that are difficult to take care of and theyâre going to run a theme park with these monsters? I guarantee that after a year, theyâll be screwed.â
âI-Is that soâŠ? Good thing I didnât do anything stupid.â
Old Man Kwon spoke, relieved. It was obvious that he would have lost all his money had he invested.
âEven though I donât know which idiot is doing this⊠Theyâll lose some money.â
âAh, president Moon?â
âDo you not know of the âRiverMoonâ group?â
The RiverMoon group was a company that had grown massively in around 2010, and was now one of the companies that represented Korean architecture companies.
âI heard that President Moon was the one that led the whole thing.â
Kang Chul-In shook his head.
âI mean the person behind him.â
âThink about it. There has to be someone that supplies these monsters from Pangaea.â
âAha! You mean an adventurer!â
As Kang Chul-In disagreed with everything he said, Old Man Kwon seemed quite depressed.
Ignoring Old Man Kwon, Kang Chul-In continued.
âPresident Moon? Thereâs a Lord thatâs behind that man.â
