That evening, On Su-hyeong's Inbyeol.

The next day, Choe Cheon-ho read the major news with a dumbfounded expression.
[Doan Group Pushing to Acquire Domestic Pro Baseball Team…… Background Due to Granddaughter's Love for Baseball?]
"……Among them, the most eye-catching analysis is that the chairman's granddaughter possesses a special affection for baseball. Ha!"
Choe Cheon-ho, who had been following the article, snorted.
No matter how cute the kid is, buying a whole team?
Perhaps aware of the existing fans' backlash, there was even a comment attached stating they would not spare any investment.
Because of that, the article's comments were laden with sports fans' earnest wishes for Geuru to come watch the games of the team they supported.
[Comments]
- Geuru-ya ㅠㅠㅠ Don't you like volleyball…?
- Let's start discovering the joys of basketball now, Geuru-ya
- Geuru Geuru… Oppa will wait for you at the soccer stadium…
Choe Cheon-ho read the comments shouting for Geuru and twisted his lips in ridicule.
‘It's probably just a one-time publicity stunt anyway.’
He wasn't the type to do such things, but he might have done it in a fit of temper due to old age.
Or perhaps it was a roundabout way of expressing that ‘he is alive and well, and won't be shaken by rumors.’
Anyway, the anger caused by his granddaughter would soon subside, and he planned to visit On Su-hyeong again then.
But even after several days passed, Choe Cheon-ho could not visit On Su-hyeong.
Because On Su-hyeong's eccentricities did not end there.

Choe Cheon-ho was speechless.
Just how many Children's Day gifts was he planning to give?

＠grandpa_osh If you're going back and forth to Jeju Island, you ought to have at least one private jet, right?

‘Has he gone completely mad?’
Choe Cheon-ho, who was checking On Su-hyeong's Inbyeol, opened his mouth wide.
If it uses magic stones, it would cost several times more than a regular private jet.
Just how far does he plan to show off his love for his granddaughter?
These days, On Su-hyeong, who had made an Inbyeol account to shower his granddaughter with displays of wealth, was a hot topic every day.
Everyone was interested in what kind of eccentric act he would pull next in his so-called money squandering.
Then, Doan's stock decline stopped and began to rise again.
The moment Choe Cheon-ho confirmed this, he froze.
‘Could it be, all those eccentric acts were aimed at this?’
Acting like a grandfather with extreme love for his granddaughter, he had returned the stock price to normal. He had resolved the crisis without revealing the Onijo.
As expected of a big shot.
‘It might not be easy going forward.’
Choe Cheon-ho earnestly instructed his aides not to get on the bad side of the On family.

The Doan Group's acquisition of a baseball team was quickly finalized through On Su-hyeong's bold decision.
While the league office reviewed the acquisition conditions, management plan, and so on.
On Su-hyeong and On Geuru appeared directly at the stadium. Accompanying them were companions wearing baseball team caps and mufflers.
Jang Dong-hyeok, seated in the same VIP section, glanced at Geuru with his arms crossed.
The small, cute child was smiling brightly and waving a flag engraved with the baseball team's logo.
‘What's so good that she's making such a fuss?’
Does she even know the rules of baseball?
Thinking so, Jang Dong-hyeok took a selfie so that Geuru would appear in the background and uploaded it to Inbyeol.
He got dozens of times more hearts.
It was a post he had deliberately taken so the child would appear in it, yet he felt strangely uncomfortable.
[Comments]
ajdklf_29 I see Geuru in the back lol
dong__hk Didn't know she was there haha
minjji05829 How can something be this cute in this world?🐥
2young_u Wow, you met Geuru? Is he really buying the baseball team?
dong__hk Who knows lol Does he really have the money to buy it?
He posted a comment with a snort, and a reply came: ‘Of course he does lol It's Doan.’
Yes, he would. Because it's that Doan.
Because the golden branch and jade leaf of Doan, whom On Su-hyeong loves more than life itself, wants it, so he's buying even a baseball team.
Fucking hell. While I'm scrambling to butter up a senile old man to get a bigger inheritance share.
He looked again at the child holding and crunching on a popcorn bucket as big as her own body.
"……."
Irritation surged up within him.
On Su-hyeong had left his seat for somewhere, and the child seemed completely absorbed in watching baseball with the companions.
‘Tsk.’
Living the high life. He was born the youngest of three sons and one daughter, draining himself dry in the fight for management rights.
Thinking that this little brat had swallowed up Doan with just her pretty face made his stomach turn.
He must have had quite a bit of strong drink. Seeing that On Su-hyeong had disappeared, he gained courage and beckoned to the child.
"Hey, kid. Come here."
"Yesh?"
"The popcorn looks delicious."
"Want shum?"
"Yeah. Give your brother some too."
"Here you go."
Geuru grabbed a fistful of popcorn with her tiny hand and held it out.
Then Jang Dong-hyeok snickered.
And then—smack! He struck the child's hand.
Pitter-patter.
The popcorn fell to the ground.
"……."
"Hey, can I put this in my mouth now?"
"……."
"Filthy, seriously."
Jang Dong-hyeok pulled a handkerchief from his breast pocket and began wiping his hand as if it were smeared with filth.
When Geuru blinked with a deeply intimidated face, Jang Dong-hyeok rose up menacingly and said.
"Is this how Doan raises its kids? They don't even have basic hygiene concepts. Is it because you have no breeding?"
Seeing the child at a loss, a base pleasure stirred in his stomach.
"Hey, Jang Dong-hyeok. What are you doing."
"Hey, hey, stop it. What are you doing."
He heard his companions trying to stop him, but Jang Dong-hyeok didn't care.
"Well, since you picked up what was thrown away—"
Smack!
In an instant, Jang Dong-hyeok's head snapped to the side.
A man whose face was covered with a cap and muffler stood before him.
"What the……"
He hid the child behind his back so Geuru couldn't see, then raised his hand once more.
Smack!
Jang Dong-hyeok reached out to counterattack, but the man parried Jang Dong-hyeok's attack and slapped his cheek again.
"D-do you know who I am?!"
"Do you know who I am?"
Smack!!
"Who the hell are you!"
"This kid's father."
