Descent Of The Demon Master [EN]: Chapter 1540

The room filled with a whooshing sound as a white light enveloped it.

Choi Yeon-ha appeared where the light had vanished, leaning against the wall with one hand and her head bowed.

“Ugh! How do I stop this motion sickness?”

“…Is it that bad?”

“I can handle it… Ugh!”

“Hey! You can’t throw up here, noona!” [Noona is a Korean term used by males to refer to an older sister or older female friend.]

Han Eun-sol was horrified as Choi Yeon-ha bent over, patting her back.

“No, you idiot! Patting my back is like telling me to throw up.”

“Oh, right!”

Han Eun-sol stepped back slightly, and Choi Yeon-ha shook her head and straightened up.

“Ugh, seriously. I can’t get used to it. Are you okay?”

“I feel a little queasy too. Like seasickness, I guess?”

“Have you been on a boat?”

“No.”

Choi Yeon-ha’s eyes narrowed.

‘Can I really trust this guy as my manager? In this global era?’

“Haa.”

Choi Yeon-ha shook her head. After resetting her phone and watch, she looked around.

“There’s no one here.”

“They’re not allowed to come inside. There could be problems.”

“Oh, is that so?”

“But it’s really amazing. It feels like a dream.”

“It’s not the first time, though.”

“Still, it’s amazing.”

Actually, Choi Yeon-ha felt the same way.

‘I’ve really lived my life in vain.’

She had never imagined that something like this was possible.

“I know it’s a bit strange to say this now…”

“Why are you being so long-winded?”

“What exactly does the chairman do?”

Choi Yeon-ha was speechless.

“An alien? A psychic?”

‘That would be nice.’

‘He’s actually an old man, Eun-sol.’

“I should be used to it by now, but I still don’t understand. What principle makes this happen?”

“You don’t need to understand it.”

“How can I use it if I don’t understand it?”

“Do you know how a plane flies?”

“…No.”

“But you ride it just fine.”

Han Eun-sol was suddenly speechless.

In fact, with Han Eun-sol’s knowledge, both were equally impossible. That huge metal thing flying in the sky, or moving this space in an instant.

“Let’s live simply, simply. Or else, you can take a plane.”

“Why would you say such a terrible thing?”

Han Eun-sol shuddered as if he didn’t want to imagine it.

They had just teleported directly from Korea to the United States. If they had traveled by plane, it would have taken at least ten hours.

A ten-hour flight.

Of course, it wouldn’t be that hard.

If you were going on a trip or lying down in first class.

But even that would be okay only once or twice. If you had to fly back and forth to the US twice a week, most people would choose to take sleeping pills and pass out for the entire flight.

‘My stamina is draining quite a bit, too.’

In that sense, this teleportation device was a blessing.

A device that allows you to travel between Korea and the US in one second.

If this were to become widespread, it would revolutionize the logistics market.

‘Of course, that’s unlikely.’

“Anyway, let’s get out of here quickly. No time to waste.”

“Yes.”

When they opened the door and went outside, there were people waiting for them.

“Welcome. Congratulations on your return to the United States, Ms. Choi Yeon-ha. You are as beautiful as the rumors say.”

“Yes, it’s nice to meet you. But who are you?” A man in a neat suit smiled lightly.

“It would be polite to introduce myself… Well, I don’t think it’s necessary this time. I won’t be here every time. I’m just here to give you a brief explanation.”

“Explanation?”

“Yes. We’re going to provide some services in partnership with MK. First, when Ms. Choi Yeon-ha enters the country through here, we will coordinate with the Korean government to create your immigration records.”

“Oh, really?”

“Yes. We’ll process it as if you arrived on a private jet provided by the US side.”

“I don’t know what that means, but I guess it means there won’t be any problems?”

“It will reduce the chances of nosy reporters catching wind of it.”

“That’s good news to my ears.”

“Yes. And… shall we continue this outside?”

“Yes, let’s do that.”

Choi Yeon-ha slightly straightened her shoulders.

The reason she was so confident was that she was actually a little timid right now.

‘Did I ever imagine that I’d be talking to US government officials?’

There was a clear difference between being confident as an individual and this.

But the situation that followed changed Choi Yeon-ha’s mind a little.

As soon as they went outside, another person who had been standing behind the man rushed to one side.

“Is there a problem?”

The man wearing sunglasses raised his arms as if he was in trouble.

Just as she was thinking that it was hard to get used to the exaggerated gestures of Westerners, a bald man walked over from behind the building with a stern face.

“Oh, you’re here?”

The bald man, who had stopped in front of the man who had been guiding them, took off his sunglasses and frowned.

“It seems you don’t understand what your mission is. Get out of here right now and return to the office. I’ll tell you about your disciplinary action separately.”

“Huh? Deputy Director, did I do something wrong?”

“Get out of here before I say it twice. Now!”

“Yes!”

The man, full of energy, hurriedly ran outside. Then, the bald man sighed and extended a hand to Choi Yeon-ha.

“I apologize, Ms. Choi Yeon-ha. It seems we made a mistake. Please understand with a generous heart.”

This time, it was in English, not Korean.

Han Eun-sol immediately began to translate.

“Huh? What mistake?”

“I’m sorry. There are always guys who act like they’re something just because they work for a government agency. I called him because he could speak Korean, and he turned out like that. I apologize again. We’ll make sure to discipline him…”

The man looked troubled.

“Could you please not mention it to him?”

“Him? Jin-ho?”

“Yes, that’s right. Him.”

“No, I don’t even know what mistake that guy made?”

“It’s a bit difficult for me to explain.”

“…Anyway, I understand. I don’t feel bad, so I don’t have anything to say.”

“Thank you. You have a generous heart. My name is Evan Parker.”

The bald man.

Evan sighed deeply.

‘That damn guy.’

Knowing who the other person was, he dared to catcall without even revealing his name.

If he hadn’t placed two people just in case, something terrible could have happened.

The fact that Kang Jin-ho cherished Choi Yeon-ha was well known to those who dealt with the General Assembly. If Choi Yeon-ha were to return to Korea and complain to Kang Jin-ho, that would be immediately reported to the Ministry of National Defense…

‘The Deputy Chief would try to break my shin.’

And that would be the best-case scenario.

Evan, feeling a cold sweat on his back, gave a hearty laugh.

“Let me continue the explanation. While Ms. Choi Yeon-ha is visiting the United States…”

Evan pointed to one side. There was a black luxury sedan parked there.

“A car with a driver and a comfortable place to rest will be provided. There are two types of accommodations: a villa near the filming location and a penthouse on the outskirts of the city. When you’re busy with filming, you can use the closer one, and when you want to relax, you can use the farther one. Feel free to use either one.”

“Huh?”

“Oh, and the employees at the house are thoroughly trained, so you can rest assured that they will never leak Ms. Choi Yeon-ha’s personal information.”

“Oh, no, that’s not it.”

Choi Yeon-ha waved her hand.

“Why are you doing all this for me? I’m just an actress?”

And one who just passed an audition.

From the US perspective, she was just a rookie actress.

“Is it because I’m Jin-ho’s girlfriend? I’m not the type to refuse favors from my boyfriend, but this is a bit much.”

“Please don’t misunderstand, Ms. Choi Yeon-ha.”

“Yes?”

“The US government, or rather, the US Department of Defense, has signed a contract with the General Assembly and MK. For a while, we will establish a cooperative relationship. So, it’s natural to provide convenience to the director of MK from Korea.”

“Ah…”

‘Is that how it is?’

‘That’s right. I’m a director.’

“So, please don’t feel uncomfortable and use it freely. Just in case, do you need an interpreter?”

“No. That’s okay.”

Han Eun-sol’s English wasn’t completely native, but it would be less uncomfortable than dragging around an interpreter for business matters.

“Yes. Then, please contact us immediately if you need anything. We will send you the best interpreter.”

Choi Yeon-ha nodded quietly.

Honestly, it was hard to keep up with the flood of words.

‘Honestly, I wouldn’t get this kind of treatment just because I’m a director at MK.’

Of course, there would be some consideration if Hwang Min-soo or Lee Hyun-joo came. But she didn’t think they could expect this level of consideration.

‘Anyway, I should accept what they’re giving me.’ Choi Yeon-ha straightened her shoulders.

She wasn’t the type to refuse what was given to her.

She just needed a justification to accept it with dignity.

“How is he doing?”

“Jin-ho is always the same. But you’re talking like you know him?”

“I saw him once from afar. I’m not in a position to talk to him directly.”

Choi Yeon-ha looked at Evan again.

Considering how he sent away the employee who was dealing with him with just a few words, this man must also be in a fairly high position. Yet, he seemed to be very wary of Kang Jin-ho.

‘That guy seems to be treated even better overseas.’

Wasn’t there a similar incident in China last time?

Choi Yeon-ha, who had always been by Kang Jin-ho’s side, rarely had a chance to realize his status, but realizing it like this made her smile for no reason.

There was no reason to dislike the fact that her boyfriend was doing well.

“Anyway, I can contact you if I have any issues in the US, right?”

“We will resolve it immediately.”

“Even if there’s trouble with the director?”

Evan looked troubled.

“We cannot interfere with individuals or private companies. That’s our rule.”

Choi Yeon-ha laughed lightly.

“I’m just kidding. I’m not shameless enough to ask for that.”

“Ah, it might be possible to increase your role by using investors…”

“Calm down, mister. It was just a joke.”

“Haha, that’s a relief.”

Evan walked to the car and opened the back door.
