“Han Yi-gyeol.”
“……”
Ha Tae-heon, noticing my unstable state, called out my na quietly, but I couldn’t answer.
‘Why now…’
I bit my lip and closed my eyes, then opened them. You have to keep your mind straight. I opened my mouth to Go Dong-ju, who was bewildered.
“First, let’s take care of Gyeongseong. We need to clear things up before anyone cos in from headquarters.”
“What? Ah, ri, right.”
“Inform Boss about the situation as soon as possible and put a notice on the door saying that it’s closed today.”
The employee who ca to report the man’s visit only blinked at my words and didn’t move. It was urgent, why were you not moving? I got annoyed and the words ca out sharply.
“What are you doing? Did you not hear? Please tell him the situation.”
“Ah, yes! I understand.”
The startled employee hurriedly grabbed his cell phone and called Kwon Se-hyun. Then, the back door opened violently and the sound of footsteps entering the store was heard.
“Hey you, is Boss Kwon here?”
One of the n in the crowd, who had a long scar on his lips, opened his mouth with a smirk. I swallowed dry saliva when I saw the person who wore a sleek shirt with a colourful flower pattern and had black hair.
He was called the chief in Gyeongseong and he was one of the opponents that shouldn’t be taken lightly. The inside of his arm, which was revealed by rolling up his sleeve, was engraved with Gyeong (硬), aning belonging to Gyeongseong.
Go Dong-ju’s expression facing the chief beca harsher than ever. The person Go Dong-ju hated the most in Gyeongseong was that chief.
“Where do these little twits put their dirty feet in?”
“Do you think that I ca here because I wanted to? You’re making feel bad.”
The chief, who walked with his hands in his pants pockets, looked around the hall and chuckled.
“Damn it, what the hell here… Is our Boss Kwon trying to sell his n now?”
“Stop that crap and get out of the hell out of here. Ong?”
The employees who heard the call gathered alone with hardened faces. The hall was filled with n over 30 people, led by Go Dong-ju and the chief. Standing next to Go Dong-ju and watching the situation, I sighed inwardly.
‘This, we need to take so ti to get things organized quickly.’
I wouldn’t have bothered to co forward at another ti, but if the man was coming, it was a different story. I had to get rid of Gyeongseong as soon as possible and then take everyone out of the store. There’s nothing good about facing that man.
“Haigo, Hyung-nim. You’re in a hurry. Why don’t you listen to ?”
As the chief beckoned, the man with a bruised and swollen face behind him walked out.
“Is this guy coming back really broken by your kids? Don’t you feel sorry for this bastard who got beaten up? Ung?”
“What are you talking about now?”
“I want you to show the CCTV. Get rid of the bastards behind you.”
Go Dong-ju’s thick eyebrows twitched unpleasantly at the blatant request and blood vessels soared on his forehead. I looked at the man who had been caught by the chief and stiffened with a fearful expression.
‘What a double-edged trick…’
It was so boring that I yawned. I couldn’t afford to listen to such useless nonsense. I checked that five minutes had already passed and opened my mouth.
“Let’s just clean it up. There’s no ti to drag on.”
“What? Ya, little guy. Why do you keep…”
“Then what are you going to do? Do you still not understand the situation?”
I trusted Go Dong-ju and entrusted the store, but I didn’t know that he would be swayed to this extent by just one of those guys. I rebuked Go Dong-ju, suppressing my impatience.
“Are those Gyeongseong bastards the problem now? We got a call from the headquarters, not anywhere else, but why do you keep thinking about it without organizing the store?”
“That…”
“Let’s get rid of the trash first and think about it. We have to throw the chief to the underground, so it’s okay to hold him as much as possible and let the rest go.”
“……”
Go Dong-ju, who frowned, nodded his head and chin at the employees standing behind him. The surrounding atmosphere instantly boiled with blood. Seeing us not backing down, the chief smiled sharply.
“This… Hyung-nim, don’t do anything you’ll regret. What kind of bully are you fighting with these guys?”
It was definitely difficult for the employees to win. The opponent was in a state of planning to attack at all, so it was impossible to know what kind of weapon they had in their arms. Then, suddenly, he took out a knife and swung it, but it was in a state of nothing strange.
On the other hand, the number of us was much smaller and there was no Kwon Se-hyun. Even the ti was running out, as it wasn’t long before the man ca. So I had no choice but to ask for help.
“Kim Woo-jin, help us. Woo Seo-hyuk-ssi and Team Leader too.”
No matter how strong Gyeongseong was, they were still ordinary people, so SS-rank like Cheon Sa-yeon and Ha Tae-heon were excluded.
Kim Woo-jin, who was standing next to and only staring at , Park Geon-ho, who watched the situation with interest, and Woo Seo-hyuk, who stood quietly, focused their attention on .
“Can we intervene?”
“Yes. Don’t kill them, just knock them out. If they run away, you don’t have to chase after them.”
All three of them stepped forward without saying anything to . Even so, Kim Woo-jin, Park Geon-ho, and Woo Seo-hyuk were willing to help. I didn’t know why but thank you.
“Before and now, other people’s guild mbers are very well behaved.”
“Please close your eyes for this.”
I glanced at Kwon Jeong-han while wiping out Cheon Sa-yeon’s playful mark. Kwon Jeong-han, who quickly noticed the aning, hid behind the bar with Min Ah-rin and Edward. At the sa ti, the Dies employees and Gyeongseong collided.
The hall on the first floor, which quickly turned into a battlefield, was filled with swear words and shouts, as well as the sound of bumps, falls, and crashes.
As I expected, as soon as the fight started, Gyeongseong mostly pulled out their knifes. But before they could even wield it properly to the employees, they were beaten by Kim Woo-jin, Park Geon-ho, and Woo Seo-hyuk.
“Fuck, what is it? These bastards, they’re doing well!”
When his kids collapsed before they could do anything, the chief shouted with a bewildered look on his face. It was as expected, so there was nothing surprising. Another thing was more urgent than this, so I shifted my gaze to Ha Tae-heon and Cheon Sa-yeon, who were standing next to .
“Ha Tae-heon-ssi. Can you protect the three near the bar?”
Although Fox was there, I was still anxious to leave them alone.
“I will.”
“Yes. When the situation is settled, you can go straight to the hotel. And Master Cheon Sa-yeon.”
I wondered if I could say this, but it was aningless if I hesitated more about safety. Having made up my mind, I quickly added an explanation.
“As soon as you go out, go into the alley on the right and go straight. At the third fork, turn left and you will see an old motel building. There must be shop owner nearby. We contacted him earlier, so you can et him on the way.”
Cheon Sa-yeon, who was listening to calmly, narrowed the corners of his eyes.
“Please go and protect him so that he can co back safely. Because Gyeongseong may have split their employees in two.”
“Hm, do you want to go to him?”
“…so what should we do then? It’s okay here, so hurry up and go quickly.”
It was urgent, but he was talking nonsense. Cheon Sa-yeon, who sighed deeply with an unknown expression, answered with a hint of disappointnt when I seriously urged him.
“In a ss like this, you’re trying to tell to go find soone else… This is really sad.”
“Get out of here right now.”
Cheon Sa-yeon shrugged his shoulders and walked out of the store as I relentlessly shoved the dog. Usually, he was stuck next to Kwon Se-hyun, but he was really strange these days.
However, since I sent Cheon Sa-yeon, I didn’t have to worry anymore. After an hour or so, I turned my head to check the situation in the hall. In that short ti, the fight was settled to so extent.
Kim Woo-jin, Park Geon-ho, and Woo Seo-hyuk, who moved after a short ti, seed to be in good spirits. For those three who had been fighting monsters around the gate, a fight like this wouldn’t be as good as a morning jog.
“Keuuuk…”
“Uuh…”
Compared to Gyeongseong, who was rolling on the floor holding each part of their body, our employees didn’t seem to have any serious injuries.
“Has anyone seen how many ran away?”
“We missed about three.”
“Two for .”
“Tsk, tie up all the remaining ones for now. Chief, that bastard…”
“No.”
I stopped Go Dong-ju from trying to tie up the mbers of Gyeongseong.
“We send out all except the chief.”
“But shouldn’t we show them to Hyung-nim who will arrive soon?”
“Before Boss arrives, the headquarters will arrive first. Showing them like this won’t help Boss and these guys are useless anyway because they’re the last. You just have to hold the chief.”
Go Dong-ju gave an order to the employee after making an uncomfortable look at my explanation.
“Just throw them outside. They will leave on their own. And did you get contacted from Hyung-nim…”
“Han Yi-gyeol!”
After Go Dong-ju stopped talking, Kim Woo-jin shouted with a contemplative face. At that mont, a cold sensation spread from the back of my back.
“Fuck you, bastards!”
As soon as I turned my head, I saw the chief running towards with both hands holding a jackknife. I reflexively pushed Go Dong-ju and turned my body to the front towards the chief.
The jackknife flashed dangerously in the store lights. I calmly slapped his hand with the jackknife coming in, aiming at my chest.
“Keuuk!”
The jackknife, which the chief missed, rolled over the floor. I grabbed his collar and shoved my fist into his stomach, then slamd his face into a nearby table.
Ppaak, the chief with a hit head fell to the floor, fainting. It would be enough to tie him up and throw him in the underground when he couldn’t co to his senses even though he was dripping nosebleeds. Kwon Se-hyun would co back later and check him out.
“Dong-ju hyung-nim, this guy…”
As I was about to tell him to tie him up, I noticed a faint scent coming from the tip of my nose. A subtle different scent from cigarettes. As soon as I realized that, I had goosebumps all over my body and my heart started beating rapidly.
The closed front door opened and the sound of heels walking into the hall was heard. I clenched my cold fists and looked back slowly.
“Go Dong-ju.”
Low and soft voice. Looking at the shiny black shoes, I slowly raised my gaze.
A beautiful face exposed under platinum blonde hair shining brightly in the light of the lamp. The man who had been stroking the corner of his mouth with his scarred hand raised the corner of his mouth loosely and smiled.
“What is the situation right now.”
The man with two attendants behind him walked slowly. The silver-grey eyes staring right at made my breath more difficult as if my throat was strangled.
The man, Yoo Shi-hyuk (유시혁).
The one I had been with for a long ti… the only one.
He reappeared before .
