The Overlord of Blood and Iron

---

Gold was a form of currency that was accepted both on Earth and Pangaea .

And thanks to that, a system that used gold as a basis became the most popular trade between Earth and Pangaea .

After all, this was the most important things to the Lords of Pangaea .

To Lords, gold was like minerals and resources in a popular game called Starcraft .

They could buy units and items with gold, expand their territory, as well as pay their soldiers and workers with Gold . The importance of gold was obvious .

The Kang Chul-in of the past often sold expensive items, necklace, bracelets, rings and other types of magical accessories, earning his gold in this way .

But although the profits and gold he earnt were quite a lot, it wasn’t enough for him .

When Kang Chul-in himself had been dominating the battlefield with his powerful strength, the Overlords of the Gulveig Union had been changing Earth by selling items that could be used in everyday life .

Just like the smartphone that had come out in 2010 that changed the way of living, the Overlords had changed ways of living by selling everyday items .

And as a result, 5 years after Ragnarok, Kang Chul-in had been completely pushed away in terms of economic strength .

So this time, he had to make sure the same thing didn’t happen .

Because he knew that by selling only magical artifacts he wouldn’t be able to control the market worldwide, he was going for a different approach .

And to him, the Galaxy Corporation was the first step to his world-wide economic domination between Earth and Pangaea .

Tak .

In front of a certain building located in Yeoksamdong, Tehran Street . As the door of the Jaguar XJ sedan opened, the workers of the Galaxy Corporation bowed to him, evident that they had been waiting for his arrival .

“Director Kang, you’re here . ”

It was all planned .

Old man Kwon was ready to do anything to completely capture Kang Chul-in’s heart and in the end, this was the plan he had come out with .

Instead of trying to capture the mind of the impenetrable fortress that was Kang Chul-in, they would go for his mother, Park Sun-ja instead .

After all, what mother wouldn’t like it if their son had been promoted . And not only that, the Old man Kwon that Park Sun-ja knew was just a wealthy businessman, not some sort of underworld boss .

“S-son…”

Park Sun-ja was greatly surprised at their grand reception .

---

“Did you get promoted a lot?”

“W-well… I got a high position because the chairman thought highly of me . ”

“My son?”

To think that her son, who wasn’t even thirty years old would get such a high position, Park Sun-ja was completely moved .

“Oh my god…”

“Mother, this way please . ”

But Kang Chul-in wouldn’t let her be so impressed and led her into the building . After all, he knew that all of this was Old man Kwon’s plan to get in his mother’s good books .

And they were escorted into a meeting hall, where they sat in the VIP area, where only the most important people sat .

“Director Kang, nice to see you . ”

The first ones to greet them was Park Doo-sik and his underlings .

“Hello, Director Kang’s mother . ”

Although Park Sun-ja was surprised at Park Doo-sik’s somewhat intimidating short, sporty hair, she was soon relieved by the sight of his dumb, dull looking face .

“Director, you’re here!”

“And his mother too, nice to meet you!”

And with these loud greetings, everyone in the meeting hall looked at them .

‘These bastards . ’

A vein nearly popped out from Kang Chul-in’s forehead .

‘It seems like I need to induce some mental-training to them soon . ’

Although he liked the fact that they gave up their gangster activities to become businessmen, he didn’t like that their gangster-ish tendencies were still there .

‘Well, thank god that at least Kwak-jung isn’t…’

And at that moment, Kang Chul-in’s smartphone rang, indicating that a message had come . It was from Kwak-jung, who was enjoying his free-time with his sister .

-Kwak-jung: Milord! How is this?

File: Loyalty . Jpg

And when he clicked on the file, it was a man’s back with the letters ‘忠誠’ (traditional chinese characters for Loyalty) tattooed on .

-User: What’s this?

-Kwak-jung: It’s a tattoo that I put on to show my undying faith and loyalty to milord .

-User: You really have a talent in making people wanting to hit you .

-Kwak-jung: … Sorry .

It seemed like he also needed to make Kwak-jung join the gangsters in the mental-training .

And after that, various different big shots from Korea came to greet him .

“Oh, you’re the famed director Kang?”

“Huhu~ You’ve become a director with this young age? Kuuu~ I’m truly surprised . I know that Old man Kwon is very picky after all . ”

“Huk… Huk…”

And finally, Park Sun-ja had to wipe her tears with an expensive chanel handkerchief that Kang Chul-in had gotten her recently .

“Son… mother hasn’t even done anything…”

“Mother . ”

“Mother has no more wishes left, none . ”

Park Sun-ja’s tears didn’t stop flowing .

‘Huu…’

Kang Chul-in couldn’t understand why she was crying . After all, she had been the one to take care of him this whole time and he was grateful for it .

“Guys, she’s crying . It’s time for a barricade . ”

And the quick witted Park Doo-sik and his underlings barricaded their area, blocking the others from seeing the crying Park Sun-ja .

‘I will never tell her . ’

And meanwhile, Kang Chul-in made up his mind never to tell her the fact that he was actually a Lord in Pangaea .

Although he had recently told her that he was an adventurer in Pangaea, he didn’t know how his mother would react if she knew he was a Lord .

And by the time the event was nearly over, Kang Chul-in was told over and over by his mother that she was proud of him and thanked him .

“Huu… If only my son… could get married now . ”

And pressured Kang Chul-in like this .

Because he had finally gotten a job and had financial stability, a terrifying pressure called family pressured him . To Kang Chul-in, this was much more terrifying than fighting an army of over a million men .

“I wish I could have a pretty granddaughter quickly…”

“Mother, I will go to the toilet . ”

And faced with this relentless pressure, even the mighty Kang Chul-in had to run .

After the ceremony was over, Kang Chul-in and his Galaxy Corporation immediately got to work for producing the Talking-tree saps .

And Kang Chul-in was especially busy, having to travel back and forth between Earth and Pangaea, trying to find a way to ship the products more effectively .

And as a result, they were able to create a ‘dimensional door’ that connected Laputa and the Galaxy Corporation, and were able to ship 500 liters over .

And the main work force for this was the civilians of Laputa .

“La la la~ La la la~”

The daughter of Mr . Rustler, Lana, hummed while roaming through the forest of Talking-trees .

Although she was forced to work, she was still happy .

And Kang Chul-in didn’t make them work for free, he still paid them .

“Milord~ Our lord~ How can you be so cool~”

But Lana was busy singing to herself, and praising Kang Chul-in endlessly .

But it was understandable, as Lana did have quite a bond with him . Kang Chul-in had saved her and her father from the orc when he first stepped into Laputa, and Kang Chul-in also only took in Lana’s offerings after slaying the Peacock Dragon .

Lana once again thought of her beloved Lord Kang Chul-in and blushed .

She was 15 this year .

In Pangaea you reached adulthood at the age of 16, and after this fall, she would finally become an adult . And when she did, she would finally be able to go with her beloved Kang Chul-in . Or so she thought .

Kuku… You stupid girl, all you think of is your Lord . A young girl like you want to marry? Haha . Stop being foolish .

The Talking-tree said, telling her .

Do you really think that your mighty Lord will even take a second glance at you? Just give up .

Although the Talking-tree kept on telling her to give up and poured insults on her, Lana still continued to hum, and work . After all, she couldn’t hear them . It was due to the cute ear muffs that she were wearing .

Yes .

Everyone working in this area worked while wearing Ear Muffs . This was because the Talking-trees would look into their minds and tempt them into doing things, which sometimes drove people insane .

Ear Muffs were very important .

“La la la~”

Lana hummed, as she used a steel rod to poke the Talking-tree .

-Argh, t-that place is…

The talking-tree started making weird groaning noises .

But the Lana who wore Ear Muffs didn’t listen and continued to hit the same place, making the tree sap flow out .

-W-weaker… uhhhh…

The talking-tree she hit kept making weird noises . This was his private pleasure(?), seperate from the things he kept telling Lana .

Lana squatted down in front of the Talking-tree and once again thought of Kang Chul-in . But… she suddenly heard a strange voice, and turned her head .

Come here…

“W-Who are you?’

Lana was surprised she could hear this voice despite the fact that she wore ear muffs .

Come here… I’m waiting…

Lana stood up from the spot .

“I-I have to work…”

But while she said that, she started moving towards the voice, as if she was entranced .
