The Greatest Estate Designer - Chapter 407

“Really?”
A man in his mid-thirties grumbled and wiped his hands with a handkerchief.

A man in his mid-thirties grumbled and wiped his hands with a handkerchief.

He had no idea what feat he had just accomplished.

A divine being who once ruled the underworld of the dimensional realm.

After being reincarnated and born as a mortal.

He had no way of knowing in his dreams that he had been dealt with by his own hand-slapping smash.

The man simply quickened his busy steps.

One side of the hospital corridor where his steps were headed.

There was an old man there.

The man greeted the old man with a nod.

“Father-in-law, don’t overdo it. You’ll get sick.”

“No, no. My grandson is over there. Can I rest now?”

“Even so, you can rest a little. What are you going to do if you suddenly collapse?”

“Tsk, tsk, I can’t rest when I leave that there.”

“Even so, I’m scared. Our baby is a little underweight, but the doctor said that he is breathing well, so he will be out in a day or two.”

“Really?”

“Yes, father-in-law.”

The man and the old craftsman.

Their eyes turned to the glass on the corridor wall.

Inside the transparent glass, an incubator was visible.

There was a baby boy in the incubator.

A newborn baby, thought the newly reincarnated ghost, Lloyd Frontera.

‘That way of speaking is strange. Why is his voice so loud? By the way, am I the son of that man?’

He was born this morning.

He still couldn’t open his eyes.

That’s why he couldn’t see anything.

Instead, he could hear the voices coming from outside.

The voices of the man and the old man were so loud and noisy.

‘What a noisy family.’

He could instinctively tell that they were his new family.

The ghost Lloyd grumbled to himself.

He wanted to be born as a whale.

Are you human again?

By the way, what kind of world is this?

On the one hand, he recalled what he had been through until now.

‘The door of reincarnation was strange.’

Finally, he had found peace after death.

The edge of hell.

On the platform prepared there.

He had said goodbye to the fake guy who had stolen his body before, Kim Soo-ho.

Thanks to his consideration and concessions, he was able to enter the door of reincarnation.

‘Ha. Should I be grateful for that? Or should I hate it?’

He was a little confused and laughed in vain.

I hate that he took my body.

Thinking about how he became a ghost and wandered between this world and the afterlife, he wanted to hit him.

Thinking about how he helped me in hell, which I met by chance, I hated him less on the one hand.

No, to be honest…

‘Thank you, Kim Soo-ho.’

I will never forget the grace you gave me to reincarnate.

I will always remember your consideration and concessions and live a new life.

The ghost Lloyd made up his mind.

On the other hand, he also pondered his regrets about his previous life.

‘Father, Mother, Julian.’

Thinking about his family made his chest ache.

Things he regretted doing to them?

Such thoughts didn’t even come to mind.

Only the ugly memories of his own tyranny kept coming up.

He shouldn’t have yelled at his father like that.

He should’ve listened to his mother’s advice.

He should’ve treated Julian a bit more kindly.

‘And Xavier Asrahan.’

The knight who used to escort him around.

He could still picture that guy’s icy glare.

‘Yeah, you must’ve despised me.’

It was understandable.

No, even if it were Father, Mother, or Julian, he wouldn’t have anything to say.

There was no room for excuses.

It was simply a worthless life, like trash.

A life that had only caused trouble for others.

‘I’m sorry, everyone.’

His nose started to sting.

Belated regret and Reflect.

He savored it and made a pledge.

He would live diligently in this life.

He wouldn’t hurt others and would live kindly.

He would work hard, be industrious, and help those around him.

Yes, he would try living a life like that punk Kim Soo-ho.

He determined, pledged, and reminded himself.

He tried not to forget his current mindset and determination.

Because soon, the memories and pledges of his previous life would be forgotten due to the laws of reincarnation.

‘I remember the guide telling me as I passed through the door of reincarnation. When you’re reborn with a new life, you’ll retain as many memories of your previous life as your new body’s intellectual capacity allows. However, those memories won’t last long.’

He distinctly remembered hearing that.

Once you’re reborn and given a new name.

At that moment, you forget all the memories of your previous life.

Remembering the law, the wretch Lloyd desperately repeated his pledges.

But then it happened.

Outside the incubator.

In the hallway beyond the glass window.

He could hear his father and maternal grandfather talking.

“By the way, do you have a name in mind for the baby?”

“Yes?”

“You still don’t have one?”

The old man asked.

The man gave a slightly embarrassed reply.

“Ah, actually, I do have one in mind.”

“Is that so? Hmm, would you mind listening to something important I have to say?”

“Yes, I’m listening.”

“Thank you. The thing is, I recently received a really great and auspicious name from a renowned fortune teller.”

“A name… from a fortune teller?”

“Yes. The fortune teller said that based on the baby’s fortune, this name is a perfect fit, as if it were sent from heaven.”

“What is the name?”

“Pal-bong. Kim Pal-bong.”

“…….”

“What do you think? Do you like it?”

“…….”

The man fell silent.

Listening to their conversation, the wretch Lloyd felt a sense of urgency.

‘Tell him no! Hurry! That’s just not it!’

Oh, man.

Kim Pal-bong.

He didn’t know how naming worked in this world.

But even so, it was a name that made him shudder the moment he heard it.

‘That’s not it. No, that’s really not it. I don’t know why, but it’s just not it! So, you over there, no, Dad! Reject it! Please! Not Kim Pal-bong, really not!’

A sense of crisis was growing.

I sincerely cheered for the man.

Fortunately, did my sincerity(?) reach him?

Soon, I heard the man’s perplexed reply.

“Uh, uhh… Sir, Father-in-law.”

“Hmm? Why though?”

“Can you think about it a little more?”

“Why? Do you not like Pal-bong?”

“Uhh, I’m really sorry to say this, but, well, he’s a little….”

“Oh, my. Is it because he’s a little crude? That’s alright. A boy’s name should be a little crude, and have a little rustic flavor. Right?”

“Ah, but still….”

“Hahaha, but I paid 200,000 won for this name.”

“…….”

“Hahaha. They say that if you name your child this, he’ll live a life without worries, laughing heartily and receiving blessings.”

“…….”

The man closed his mouth again.

The damned Lloyd shouted even more urgently in his mind.

‘Hey, sir? Father-in-law? No matter what, that’s a little too much, isn’t it? Did that name receive a blessing from some kind of deity? No, no matter what, it’s not right to go overboard with a person’s name!’

Could it be that this creepy name would really become his new name?

He licked his lips anxiously.

Fortunately, the situation he feared did not happen right away.

“Uhh, well, Father-in-law. I’ll think about it more deeply.”

“Yes, yes. Do that. If you can, think about it positively. Even if you have a name in mind, wouldn’t a name made by a respected person be better? Right?”

“Yes. I’ll think about it for now, Father-in-law.”

“Alright. I understand.”

The voices of the man and the old man grew distant.

It seemed like they were walking somewhere while talking.

The damned Lloyd, who had been listening intently, felt an overwhelming sense of fatigue.

‘Whew, that’s a relief for now.’

That creepy name was not decided on right away.

From the looks of it, the man who was his father seemed to dislike the name.

‘So, let’s talk back a little, and state my case clearly.’

Please, let the man do that.

The damned Lloyd hoped and hoped.

But in the meantime, his body grew even more tired.

Sleepiness rushed in all at once.

‘Ah, is it because I’m a newborn baby….’

I couldn’t bear it.

Without realizing it, my consciousness slipped away.

It grew distant.

It grew faint.

It grew warm.

The damned Lloyd fell into a deep, dreamless sleep.

♣

How much time had passed?

How many times had I woken up dazed in the meantime?

And how many times had I fallen back into a deep sleep?

It was much later that the damned Lloyd regained consciousness properly.

‘…What is this?’

He concentrated on the sensations around his body.

Somehow, the place he was lying down felt different from before.

The air had changed a little too.

Was someone holding him?

A different warmth from before enveloped his body. The voices of people were heard more clearly, right next to him.

“Oh my, you’re awake.”

It was the man’s voice from before.

Unlike before, it was a whisper, as if he was trying to keep his voice down as much as possible.

Then, the woman’s voice was heard.

“Honey, can we just go with that name?”

“Well, we have to. My father-in-law is very stubborn.”

“He’ll be upset when he finds out later. I heard he even went to a fortune teller.”

“Damn it. Then, you’re okay with naming him Palbong?”

“……No, that’s a bit…”

“Right? Me too. No matter what my father-in-law says, he’s a bit…….”

A conversation between a man and a woman.

A conversation between his father and mother.

Listening to it, the idiot Lloyd was relieved.

It seemed that the couple was about to reject the horrible name, Palbong or something.

‘Then what will my name be now?’

It would be decided soon.

Then, the memories of the idiot Lloyd he possessed would disappear.

He would walk into a completely new life, a new future.

‘I’ll work hard this time. I will.’

Those he had wronged in his previous life.

His family and everyone around him.

He made a strong oath to them.

That he would not forget his current oath.

That he would definitely keep it in his subconscious, even if his memories disappeared.

While he was making his oath, a large hand approached.

It gently caressed his forehead.

“Why are you so small?”

“Stop it. The baby is crying.”

“But he’s still cute. Haha.”

“Baby, right.”

“Anyway, did you decide on a name?”

At the man’s question, the woman’s warm embrace that enveloped him moved slightly.

Perhaps she was nodding her head.

The idiot Lloyd was nervous.

What name would he be given?

What kind of life would he live?

While he was worried and expectant.

The gentle voice of the man who would be his father reached his ears.

“Can you hear me? I’m your father. I’m really happy.”

‘……’

Huh?

He stopped without realizing it.

Meanwhile.

The memories of his previous life.

One by one, in order.

Like bubbles, they disappeared one by one.

The Frontera territory of his childhood.

The memory of a family outing under the warm sunlight.

A day when he teased Javier and ran away.

The happiest moments.

The most precious memories.

“So, our son?”

One by one, in order.

Like bubbles, they disappeared one by one.

“Nice to meet you, Suho. Our son, Kim Suho.”

His father’s warm hand gently caressed his cheek as he stroked his forehead.

The once idiot Lloyd Frontera.

Now, Kim Suho, who had started a new life as a baby.

Smiled at his father for the first time.
