Three Meals of a Reincarnator - Chapter 329

Chapter 329: Chapter 329

“Please sit, Ho Sung,” said Ji Yoo Kim.

“… Me too?”

“Aren’t you the one who has to attend the events the most often?”

“I guess so.”

Ho Sung Lee glanced at Min Sung, and in response, Min Sung gave him a look to tell him to sit down.

Ho Sung Lee pulled out a seat and sat down.

Ji Yoo Kim passed Min Sung a tablet containing the data that she had prepared.

When Min Sung accepted it but pushed it to the side, Ji Yoo Kim gave him a confused look.

“Let’s talk after we eat.”

Ji Yoo Kim laughed.

Ho Sung Lee lifted his hand, and in response, the manager in charge of the VVIP customers approached.

“Shall we prepare the menu that you’ve ordered?”

In response, Ho Sung Le nodded, and the manager paid his respects and excused himself.

“I also ordered a bottle of wine when I made the reservation. Shall I cancel it?” Ho Sung Lee asked Min Sung and Ji Yoo Kim.

“I don’t mind.”

Ji Yoo Kim expressed that she was okay with either way and as for Min Sung…

“Of course not.”

He never refused a recommendation.

Since it would take some time for the food to come out, he felt worried for a little while.

In the midst of the silence, Min Sung scanned the inside of the restaurant.

Enjoying the atmosphere of the restaurant was a part of the experience.

The restaurant gave off a foreign vibe.

It was dark with gold lights twinkling on the ceiling.

And on top of the stage, a pianist was performing.

The sound of the calm music and the quiet conversations between the customers sounded like music of its own.

He could feel why Ho Sung Lee recommended the place even before trying their food.

“Not bad,” said Min Sung, and Ho Sung Lee smiled out of relief.

“The restaurant is gorgeous. I feel like I’ll come back.”

Ji Yoo Kim smiled and scanned the restaurant as well.

“Commander Kim, do you have a boyfriend?”

In response to Ho Sung Lee’s question, Ji Yoo Kim showed a bitter smile.

“No. I’m so busy with work that I can’t find the time.”

“Sigh. How unfortunate. You’re so beautiful. But then again, I’m not sure if anyone would be good enough for you.”

“You’re so nice today.”

“Haha, I mean it.”

Ho Sung Lee glanced at Min Sung and continued,

“Min Sung, don’t you think Commander Kim is beautiful?”

In response, Ji Yoo Kim watched Min Sung with a nervous face.

Min Sung stared at Ji Yoo Kim’s face and opened his mouth.

“She’s beautiful.”

Min Sung’s words were shocking.

That was because neither Ho Sung Lee nor Ji Yoo Kim imagined that such direct expression could come out of Min Sung’s mouth.

Min Sung knitted his brows at Ho Sung Lee and Ji Yoo Kim who were frozen still.

“What’s wrong?”

“N-nothing. Just hearing you say that surprised me. Does that mean you’re interested in…”

Ji Yoo Kim jabbed Ho Sung Lee in the side in the middle of his question.

Ho Sung Lee shut up upon realizing his mistake, but the message had already been delivered.

“I can’t say I’m not interested,” answered Min Sung.

Chaos ensued the table.

Ho Sung Lee dropped his jaw while Ji Yoo Kim’s face turned red while her mouth remained shut.

Min Sung knitted his brows and continued, “I’m talking in a business sense. What are you thinking?”

In response, Ji Yoo Kim realized the misunderstanding, and her face turned even redder.

“I-I need to go to the washroom.”

Ji Yoo Kim quickly excused herself.

Ho Sung Lee glanced at Min Sung and sighed.

Ji Yoo Kim was the commander of the Central Institute as well as a goddess of Korea.

She was a righteous woman in power with beautiful visuals.

The gorgeous woman was obviously showing her interest, but Min Sung mustn’t have caught on because he remained his distance.

Ho Sung Lee couldn’t understand it.

As a man, how could he resist Ji Yoo Kim, who was beautiful with a warm heart?

Of course… all people had their different tastes, but he didn’t understand when it came to Commander Kim.

She was that desirable.

“Sir, it looks like Commander Kim might be interested in you.”

Min Sung glared his eyes at Ho Sung Lee.

“What do you mean?”

“I’m sorry?”

“What are you trying to say?”

“No, I’m just saying you’d look good together.”

“Stop the nonsense.”

“… Yes, Sir.”

When he looked to the side, he saw Ji Yoo Kim coming back with fixed makeup.

Because she looked so beautiful in her red dress, all men at the restaurant were staring at her.

Ji Yoo Kim sat down with a cough, and that was when the wine arrived.

The food came out shortly afterward.

Min Sung focused.

The dish that arrived on the table was the highest quality steak.

Before eating the meat, the three of them lifted their glasses to enjoy the wine.

There was no toast.

They simply lifted their glasses, and Min Sung took a sip of his wine.

By rolling his tongue, he could enjoy the heavy sloshing of the wine.

When he gulped it down, the bitter taste of grape remained at the tip of his tongue, and a long after-scent of the grape extended to his nose.

Min Sung put down his glass and picked up his fork and knife.

He used a small amount of Aura in order to slice the meat without much trouble. He then used his fork to put a piece into his mouth.

Om nom.

It chewed softly, and he could smell the sweet smell of the steak.

The more he chewed it, the stronger its scent.

The combination of the wine and steak was perfect for dinner.

There were other dishes on the table as well, but Min Sung focused solely on the main dish, which was the steak along with his wine.

The reason why he didn’t eat a course meal was because rather than following a troublesome order, he just wanted to focus on one dish.

He was beginning to put quality over quantity as he got older.

It wasn’t bad.

As time passed, he no longer felt traumatized from the Demonic Realm.

One who enjoyed food had to value quality.

Min Sung breathed in.

The feeling of food filling an empty tummy was an addictive feeling, and it gave him great satisfaction.

By the time Min Sung finished his meal, Ji Yoo Kim and Ho Sung Lee finished as well.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve eaten together like this,” said Ji Yoo Kim with an awkward smile.

“I’m used to it.”

Ho Sung Lee smiled at Ji Yoo Kim.

Meanwhile, Min Sung finished his meal and picked up the tablet beside him.

As soon as he touched the screen, he could immediately see the content.

Min Sung checked the information of key persons one by one as he drank the wine.

Min Sung finished reading the documents in 3 minutes and put down the tablet.

“Are you already finished?” Ho Sung Lee asked Min Sung with surprised eyes.

“I read it slowly,” Min Sung remarked, and he took another sip of his wine.

Min Sung had an unparalleled memory.

Since his ability to obtain information was similar to that of a machine when he focused, it was not surprising that his speed of reading documents was very quick.

He was so fast that others always wondered if he actually read it.

But if they knew who Min Sung Kang was, they would understand.

Even the hunters looked up to him, so no rational standards applied to him.

Ho Sung Lee was in awe, and Ji Yoo Kim also watched Min Sung with eyes of admiration.

But Min Sung didn’t care and said what he wanted to.

“So the ones we need to control are the heads. The presidents and the hunter leaders, so my position is important. What do you think is a good way to control them?” Min Sung asked Ji Yoo Kim.

Min Sung’s gaze always tended to pressure people.

Ji Yoo Kim sat up straight. She accepted his gaze and opened her mouth.

“You’ll have to control the hunters all over the world. And in order to do that, you’ll have to go over the hunters’ stance with the presidents. That’s what Central Institute thinks.”

“Tell me in more detail.”

“The governments and the hunter leaders need to come to an agreement. They need to come up with a hunter wage in the case that monsters do appear again. In order to prevent them from committing crimes.”

“And the reason why the governments aren’t doing that is because they don’t think the dungeons will ever appear again.”

“Until now, the governments were below the hunters in the power structure, so they must’ve decided that they didn’t want to be controlled anymore and made their stance clear.”

“Then the hunters will try to get maid more. Even if they set a wage, if it’s lower than what they can make as criminals.”

Ji Yoo Kim nodded.

“That’s why you have to mediate.”

“Can’t they just use the hunters as police officers?”

“That’s too burdensome.”

“In what way?”

“Organizations of corrupt police officers will form, and that will ultimately threaten the government.”

Min Sung clicked his tongue.

“It’s a worry either way.”

“It’s a dilemma.”

“That means we have to establish a wave between the governments and hunters and control the hunters so that they don’t go astray. But I don’t know. If the hunters just fool around, the citizens won’t just let that happen.”

“Yes. That’s why the best way might be to form a hunter team in charge of crimes, and you’ll be the one with the authority to control them overall.”

“But what’s the difference between that and police officers? They’ll still form corrupt forces.”

“The image, if public officials and crimes become intertwined, the citizens will no longer trust the government.”

Min Sung laughed.
