Chapter 217: S-Class Scanner (2)

Working as an agent for a secret society and receiving money periodically, it’s clear that the funds entering my account would be under national surveillance.

As the saying went, the IRS was scarier than the FBI; taxation was a serious matter.

And what the state monitored most closely was black money, funds that appeared suddenly without undergoing tax procedures.

-“Where did the 10 billion come from? For someone whose annual income is 30 million won. No gifts, no lottery win. How did you come to purchase a 33-pyeong apartment in Busan out of nowhere?”

-“I, I picked it up in a garlic field!”

-“So, you’ve acquired it illegally? You need to pay acquisition tax.”

-“Th, that’s!”

Touching black money carelessly meant not only dealing with its original owners but also facing immediate investigation by the tax authorities if spent recklessly.

-“Do you know when villains are caught most foolishly? When they steal someone else’s money, buy real estate with it, or spend an excessive amount of money compared to their annual income.”

Taxation was of utmost importance to agents, members, and collaborators of the secret society.

-“Don’t get caught by governments around the world over mere tax issues.”

Whether through paper companies or other means, the Chief’s directive was to avoid investigation by tax authorities for suspicious fund movements.

-“Ahh, why would the society bother hiring accountants, tax lawyers, and clerical staff! To legally process all that money!”

To avoid hassle.

-“But then, wouldn’t we lack a method to financially influence the powerful?”

-“For that, we’ve prepared a strategy. Hehehe.”

The Chief suggested a method to collaborators spread across countries to deal with tax authorities in a valid, reasonable manner that even they would begrudgingly acknowledge.

-“I’ve identified a skyrocketing stock through the power of future foresight. Exactly 43 days from now, it’s going to surge, so contact the agents to invest in this stock.”

-“But, is it okay to use this ability? It’s future foresight.”

-“It’s better to use it and profit for the society’s activities than to let it go to waste!”Read latest chapters at novelhall.com

For instance, advising on buying specific stocks.

-“I’ve confirmed the Minister of Land’s new city development project through the power of mind control. Now, subtly purchase real estate around this area!”

-“But this is just a barren field.”

-“Trust me. I’ve already investigated the Minister of Land’s relatives visiting real estate agencies around here.”

Or, advising to hold onto real estate redevelopments for about three years before cashing out big.

-“Money, money, money. Operating a massive organization like the society requires a huge amount of funds. And the most important thing is to ‘legally’ manage it. What do you think is the easiest way to collect people’s money, Manager Do?”

-“...Mobile character collection-type gacha games?“

-“Oh, I hadn’t thought of reaching that far. Manager Do, prepare a PPT right away!”

Or teaching ways to amass huge amounts of money within the realm of legality.

The most representative example was the lottery, and fitting for the era of ability users, the ‘Hero Toto’.

For instance...

What if S-Class ability user Goblin and S-Class ability user Snow White fought each other?

Though such a match was rare in reality, if these battles were to occur regularly or become popular, many would watch.

And if betting was involved?

-“Can’t resist gambling!”

Even if real money was involved, as long as it was a sports lottery operated legally by the state, even if a lot of the fees and dividends were taxed, it could still make a huge amount of money.

-“When will ‘your’ Do be taken? Can’t even start in the selection, a washed-up has-been ww”

-“To the Toto we go! Oooo! Lord Do! As always, the best!!”

-“...If only one less goal had been scored. Making a hat-trick by coming off the bench.“

Even regular sports drew massive popularity with sports Toto.

“I only bet on sure wins. Yumir. Yoon Iseon. Thanks to them, I made a profit. Hehehe.”

“Weren’t the odds against?”

“To me, they were sure wins. Both are not just anyone but the ones Manager Do is after. Hehehe.”

“......Buy me dinner sometime.”

Going from E-class to D-class involved betting, and so did determining the winner who was recognized as A+ class.

“Brewer. So now that Armored Taejo has accepted the challenge, does that mean Hero Toto is happening?”

“Of course. It’s not just any Hero Toto. If Yoon Iseon wins, it’s the moment ‘the eighth S-class’ is born. Will the Reader win, or will a new S-class emerge? Even just the legal betting is seeing real-time increases in stakes, and illegal sites have already raised 200 billion won in stakes even though the battle is still a week away.”

“Indeed, it’s fitting for the era of great abilities.”

If this is what entertainment in this world is like.

I plan to use this entertainment to duplicate the money in ‘Do Ji-hwan’s account.’

“Jumo. I’m going to bet 1 billion won from my account now. Help me with it.”

“Who are you betting on?”

“Obviously, Yoon Iseon.”

Beep beep beep.

I made a call.

[Yes, teacher. This is Yoon Iseon.]

“Do you have time at 10 p.m. tonight?”

[...I can’t go out.]

“That’s okay. Is the time alright?”

[Yes.]

“Then, I’ll call you again at that time.”

I summoned Yoon Iseon.

“Brewer. Gather all the information on Armored Taejo.”

“......Manager Do, surely not?”

“Need to prepare.”

I reached out towards a spoon on the distant kitchen table.

Click.

The spoon flew through the air into my hand, and I grasped the spoon, gently shaking it.

“The trick is done by the Goblin, but the money is eaten by Do Ji-hwan.”

It’s a perfect plan.

“I will become Armored Taejo and spar with Yoon Iseon.”

Everything was for.

The victory of Yoon Iseon.

And for my bank account.

“How cheap. Raising it yourself only to profit off it.”

“Cheap? It’s a strategic investment.”

There’s nothing illicit about it.

“I’m just betting 1 billion won on the underdog with the heart of a beast.”

Investing was a personal choice, after all.
