"What the FUCK! What do you mean he got a hotel as a gift? How much does my dad even make?!!"
Leo spent a few minutes in shock, running through the possibilities in his head.
Back when he first transmigration in this world, he had already talked with his father many times about his job and his company, and from those conversations, Leo was absolutely sure about the company's size.
Besides, when he first came to this world, Leo wasn't nearly as relaxed as he was now. After all, he was a middle-aged man who had suddenly opened his eyes in a world completely foreign to him.
Even though he had realized the world he was in, he had maintained a cautious and careful personality for a while.
Leo's father was the straightforward type who didn't like keeping secrets.
So after thinking about it for a long time, Leo was certain that his family was not secretly some billionaire household.
That left only one possibility: Kim Crane had probably lied to him.
Leo was briefly impressed by Kim Crane's lying ability, but his mother's words had been a little too exaggerated.
When he added the clues about Thailand into the mix, Leo decided that his father seemed to be leaning in a rather interesting direction.
The original reason he made this call was to borrow money from his parents to pay off the house taxes.
But it seemed like his parents were going to separate soon, and since they loved their son, of course, they wouldn't try to take the house from him.
Leo suddenly felt as if everything had already been settled, that the house now belonged entirely to him, and that his parents had already separated.
He couldn't help but feel a little sad for them. They had been a pretty good family up until now.
While Leo felt sad for his parents, he continued taking pictures of every corner of the house.
A few minutes later, a brand new house listing was already up on the real estate website.
As if he had been waiting years for this moment, Leo took the photos with incredible speed and perfection and uploaded them immediately. Since he had created an account yesterday, he skipped the account setup step this time.
The house price was exactly 7 billion won (about 4,7 million dollars), just as the system had determined.
Leo didn't forget to add an extra note saying he wasn't interested in negotiating or anything like that.
After selling the house and paying off the debts, he would still have more than six billion won left.
Leo decided he would buy a few apartments near his school and live off the rent for the next four years.
After all, in a city like Seoul, even gold can lose value, but the housing market never does.
Twenty minutes later, Leo left the house holding the kitten in one hand and a small sports bag in the other.
There were no clothes in the sports bag. It was completely filled with stacks of cash he had received from the system.
And that taught Leo a lesson.
Since systems could vary from world to world, from now on, Leo would request all monetary rewards to be transferred directly to his bank account.
Leo first went to visit Uncle Berk, his neighbor across the street.
The kitten had really escaped from his place the other day.
After Leo's persistent effort, Uncle Berk finally gave in and allowed Leo to take the kitten.
He said he would bring him a new kitten at the next family visit.
At first, Leo planned to go buy a carrier bag for the kitten. Even if the kitten seemed to have no intention of running away right now, you could never bet on when a cat would change its mind.
But it turned out to be unnecessary.
Since Leo became the new owner of the kitten, Uncle Berk volunteered to give Leo the kitten's vaccination booklet and its carrier bag as a gift.
During this time, Uncle Berk invited Leo for tea under the excuse of teaching him a few things about cats.
While they were having tea together, Leo mentioned that he planned to sell the house. Maybe someone Uncle Berk knew might want to buy it, but unfortunately, that was not the case at all.
On the contrary, the conversation about selling the house quickly shifted to Leo's school situation and then to Leo's family problems.
When Uncle Berk heard about the issue between Leo's mother and father, he hugged Leo and told him he could come to him anytime he wanted.
Leo tended to take after his mother in terms of height. Even though one meter seventy-five was not actually short, when Uncle Berk, with his massive build, hugged him, Leo felt like a child for the first time.
It did not look like Uncle Berk intended to let go.
"Uncle Berk! I am suffocating!"
Leo spent the next minutes trying to convince Uncle Berk that he was old enough to live on his own.
For some reason, Uncle Berk seemed unusually emotional lately.
Leo decided this was just an ordinary midforties syndrome and slipped away at the first chance he got.
However, it seemed like his problems would not end easily today.
The moment he stepped out of Uncle Berk's house and took a few steps, he saw a pair of shy eyes watching him from the far corner of the street.
The moment Leo recognized the owner of those eyes, he ran without looking back.
The kitten inside the carrier was being tossed around and screaming, but Leo did not care at all.
Sandara the Devil.
After running for a while, Leo looked behind him and saw that no one was following him. Apparently, with his new physical stats, he was strong enough to outrun even Sandara.
Leo decided that after today, he would never return home. He would have a moving company pack up the remaining belongings, and he would never need to come back to this city again.
Smiling, Leo blocked Sandara's phone number and then stopped a taxi.
Unfortunately, Leo had forgotten something important.
Seoul was not exactly the best city to run away from Sandara. After all, Sandara was currently a second-year student at Kyung Hee University, and the main campus of this university was in Seoul.
...
Meanwhile, after gathering her courage over many long nights, Sandara had finally come to apologize to Leo, but stood frozen in place with a shocked expression.
Thinking that Leo had misunderstood her, she wrote him a message to explain herself, but at that moment, she realized Leo had blocked her.
Thus, the shyness in Sandara's eyes disappeared and was replaced by anger.
