The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

Chapter 90: Unexpected Meeting (2)

She was the daughter of a pastor who led the largest church in the United States, with a congregation of 100,000.

As a fiance, she was more than suitable.

He told me not to hide anything from him, but I suppose hell hide the fact that shes his fiance.

Ryu Min glanced at Ma Kyung-rok and addressed Christine fluently in English, Nice to meet you, Christine. Im Ryu Min, a business partner of CEO Ma Kyung-rok.

Ryu Mins self-introduction surprised Ma Kyung-rok. 

His English was perfect.

To the extent that if you closed your eyes and listened, you might think he was a native speaker.

Christine, too, was taken aback by the unexpected English pronunciation and adjusted her posture slightly. Then, she politely lowered her head in a Korean manner and replied, Nice to meet you, Ryu Min. I had no idea CEO Ma had such a remarkable business partner.

Oh, really? I never imagined CEO Ma would have such a lovely fiance.

Ah, did he mention our relationship?

Ma Kyung-rok was startled by Christines gaze. After all, he had never mentioned that she was his fiance.

Does he somehow know about our engagement?

Ma Kyung-rok looked at Ryu Min and decided that he should never deceive the prophet again.

Now it seems as if he was trying to hide the fact that she was his fiance.

Ma Kyung-rok had no choice but to admit his mistake.

I apologize, Prophet. I didnt intend to deceive you

No need to apologize. I understand that introducing your fiance might have felt overwhelming.

Thank you for your understanding

But I wish you had trusted me a little more

As Ryu Mins disappointment subtly surfaced at the end of his sentence, Ma Kyung-rok couldnt help but feel awkward.

Damn, its not a good idea to be on the Prophets bad side

Regretting introducing her merely as a friend, Ma Kyung-rok was taken aback when Christine asked, What are you two discussing so seriously?

Curious about the serious conversation held in Korean, she must have wondered.

Its nothing, really. We were just briefly discussing business.

I see. Well, considering you mentioned opening a business soon

Christines words conveyed her understanding, but her gaze remained disinterested.

Perhaps due to their arranged engagement, there was no sweetness in their relationship.

Please convey my regards to the Chairman. I have a church service to attend, so Ill take my leave.

Of course. Dont worry about that part, as your father is also busy. Hell understand.

Thank you. Then, I hope to see you both alive in the next round.

Ill pray for Christines luck as well.

After bidding farewell to Ma Kyung-rok, Christine glanced at Ryu Min once and then departed, seemingly uninterested.

Or more accurately, she tried to depart.

Just a moment, Christine.

Ryu Mins voice halted her steps.

Ma Kyung-rok and An Sang-cheol looked at him with puzzled expressions.

Christine did the same.

Whats going on?

Its about the next round. It would be wise to be cautious.

?

Instead of answering, Christine glanced at Ma Kyung-rok.

Whats going on with this guy?

Having read her expression, Ma Kyung-rok spoke, concealing his confusion.

Major shareholder. We can talk about that later.

Mr. Ma, theres no need to hide my identity. Wouldnt it be better for your fiance to know about the information for the next round as well? It could be the right path for your fiance, too.

Ryu Min deliberately spoke in Korean, giving Ma Kyung-rok a chance to decide.

But Ma Kyung-rok had no choice.

In the situation where control had shifted to Ryu Min due to his earlier mistake, refusing here would not only provoke Ryu Min but also make him appear heartless, and indifferent to his fiances life or death.

What the Prophet says is correct. If its for my fiance, then hiding it wouldnt be the right choice.

Ma Kyung-rok looked at Christine and said, Shall we go inside for a moment? Theres something I need to discuss.

Christine initially appeared bewildered but eventually nodded in acknowledgment. She sensed that something significant was about to be discussed.

Russell, please wait here for a moment, Ryu Min requested.

Respecting Ryu Mins request, Russell remained outside.

Ryu Min guided Ma Kyung-rok into the CEOs office, and as the door closed, the outside noise was completely shut out.

Christine, gesturing as if to encourage Ma Kyung-rok to speak, wore a curious expression.

Christine, I didnt properly introduce him earlier, but this individual here is my business partner and the CEO of our company. And

Before proceeding, Ma Kyung-rok glanced at Ryu Min, seeking permission to continue. Upon receiving a nod from Ryu Min, he continued.

He is also a Prophet class, capable of foreseeing the future.

What do you mean by Prophet? Christine questioned, understandably skeptical about the concept of someone seeing the future.

Ryu Min stepped in to address Christines doubts, interpreting her skepticism.

What the Chairman says is true. I am a Prophet class, capable of glimpsing the future. For instance, I can provide strategies for the upcoming 7th round.

Is that so? 

Ma Kyung-rok nodded, affirming his ability.

Prophets words are entirely trustworthy. There has never been an instance of a prediction going wrong.

Does that mean youve received help from this person so far?

Yes, thanks to him, weve been able to anticipate and strategize for the next round ahead.

Although the notion was hard to fathom, the expressions on both of their faces were profoundly serious.

So, why are you suddenly revealing this to me?

Christine, I will furnish you with information about the 7th round.

Without any compensation? Christines reaction to discussing compensation hinted at the life she might have lived.

Dont worry. I will provide it without expecting anything in return.

If the Priest survived, it would also benefit Ryu Min.

Even though you survive up to the 15th round without any help

Ultimately, its the semblance of assistance that matters.

Christine appeared skeptical, but eventually, she nodded.

If youre confidently offering future information, Im willing to give it a try.

Providing future information so confidently was indeed audacious.

You still cant fully believe it though.

Ryu Min, as if prompting Ma Kyung-rok, relayed the details about the 7th round.

Do not be fooled by temptation. Just remember this for the 7th round.

Uh?! Is that all, Prophet?

I cannot divulge more. Doing so would bring harm to everyone. Resist temptation. You must memorize it like a spell, and thats all I can share.

Both Christine and Ma Kyung-rok remained silent, The somewhat vague prophecy seems absurd.

Is that all?

Yes, but Christine, theres something else I need to tell you.

What?!

This gathering was primarily to deliver this message

Ryu Min, who was pausing, spoke with a grave expression.

Christine, when the 11th round arrives, you will be in danger. Your life may be at risk.

Me?

But dont worry. A rope will come down to rescue you.
