Devil Returns To School Days - Chapter 26

6. In Daesan, the law of Daesan (4)

local cartels.

It was a complicated problem.

During the last Go Chang-beom incident, the police seemed to bite him despite his great background as the ‘eldest son of Myungjin Construction’, but it was just a family dispute that needed to be resolved within Daesan. The eldest son, Go Chang-beom, and the second son, Go Chang-seok. And even their background, Myungjin Construction, was a member of the cartel that took root in Daesan.

mutual interests.

It was truly a Daesan-only issue where victory or defeat was determined by who had more influence in Daesan.

On the other hand, what about Kang Tae-gu?

He was an outsider.

He had nothing to do with Daesan, and the police seemed hostile to the fact that he was interfering with Daesan’s affairs. Of course, the relationship between the chief and the principal had a significant influence. As the chief said, I wasn’t going to cooperate with Kang Tae-gu, but I didn’t like the outsider’s intentions in the first place.

Dull.

“Those so-called public officials are openly taking sides.”

Taegu Kang lit a cigarette.

I was very annoyed.

At first, I didn’t think it was a big deal, but I thought that if I made a mistake, the request might fail.

‘That’s absolutely not possible. The reason Golden Circle was able to build its current reputation is because it never failed a request. If I fail, they will send someone else to somehow succeed in the request, but it will only be a moment before my life, which has built wealth through the Golden Circle, falls apart. Damn it. I took the flat porridge thinking it would be empty money, but I never thought I would get in trouble like this.’

Then I realized.

Why do Golden Circle brokers want to remain in Seoul?

There was little competition for local requests and the level of difficulty was very low, but sometimes something unusual like this would happen.

One thing is certain.

It had to be resolved somehow.

‘If the police are this uncooperative, it will be impossible to move the principal. In situations where common sense does not apply, it is necessary to solve the problem simply and ignorantly. In the first place, this request is not about expelling Kim Hyun-seong from school, but rather about lowering his grades to the level we want.’

I threw the burned out butts on the floor.

Then he took another bite, took a deep breath of smoke, and called somewhere.

* * *

Shin Young-min’s eyes widened.

He thought the problem had all been resolved thanks to Kang Tae-gu’s intervention, but he heard unexpected words over the phone.

“No, bro. “What on earth do you mean?!”

[This guy can’t understand what I’m saying. hey. The request to deal with Kim Hyun-seong is a problem that must be resolved entirely by you, not me. They even took extra money in return, so what are you saying now? Do you want help because it’s hard to solve it on your own? Hey you fucking bastard. Do you think the Golden Circle thing is a joke? Do you think we are so easy-going that we would give money to a bastard who only cares for us?]

“That’s not true…”

[If that’s not the case, listen to me straight from now on. What you need to do in this request is to lower Kim Hyun-seong’s grades. Whether you mobilize your juniors or move it yourself. Do whatever it takes to achieve that goal. No matter how much Daesan’s teachers take Kim Hyun-seong’s side, they will not be able to completely solve the student’s problem.]

Moment.

The sense of injustice was intense.

Upon receiving this request, Shin Young-min received a promise from Kang Tae-gu that he would definitely look after his back.

I believed it.

The Golden Circle is a group that exerts great influence nationwide, and even at that time, I had no idea that Kim Hyun-seong would cause such a problem. But then you step out like this. Kang Tae-gu chose the cowardly method of passing the blame entirely to Shin Young-min. Even if Kang Tae-gu says he achieves his goal by any means possible, Golden Circle and Kang Tae-gu will never take responsibility for Shin Young-min’s life.

Just one call.

It meant distrust.

I wanted to ask something, but I couldn’t because of the bloody voice that followed.

[Youngmin. What I can tell you for sure is that the Golden Circle never tolerates failure. Think carefully. If we give up on the request or fail, we will inevitably have to pay for it from ‘you’, without Kim Hyun-seong’s existence. So…]

I swallowed dry saliva.

Shin Young-min’s eyes fluttered wildly.

[Try to do something.]

Take it.

A call that is hung up coldly.

As Shin Young-min looked down at his cell phone screen in vain, he felt like his life was getting tangled up.

* * *

Did you say that in life you cannot predict the future?

Shin Young-min, who had been complaining about the commission fee just a few days ago, trudged along with a pale face.

“…what the fuck should I really do?”

I was at a loss.

What is bothering Kim Hyun-seong?

It was in the middle of a mountain.

Kim Hyun-seong was not a boy who would be tolerated gently, and the biggest problem was that for messing with him, he might be expelled from school by the trash line of Kim Young-cheol and Oh Dae-hwan. Youngmin Shin is a third year high school student. I knew very well how difficult life would be if I were to be expelled with just a few months left before graduation.

Martial arts professional.

Golden Circle Broker.

Although I don’t necessarily need a diploma in my future, I didn’t want to risk it just to get a few bucks in the end. And the abusive conversation with Kang Tae-gu completely undermined my trust. In the past, I thought that my future as a broker seemed very rosy, but I realized that Tae-gu Kang’s bottom line was not so hopeful.

I sighed.

Still, I couldn’t refuse the request.

‘I heard it through a rumor. How miserably the mercenaries who gave up after receiving the Golden Circle’s request suffered. Kang Tae-gu’s words weren’t just a threat. It is clear that they will use me as a clear example to avoid repeating problems like this in the future. ‘It will be more painful than being expelled.’

It was dark.

Where on earth did it go wrong?

Even when I sent Park Jin-woo and gave orders to Park Min-cheol’s gang, I was confident of success.

Hyunseong Kim.

For him, who had no parents to protect the fragile minor, the powerful violence in front of him was a problem he could never handle on his own. A very easy request. When Park Min-cheol’s gang was wiped out, when they were expelled from school, and even when he defeated Park Jin-woo and came looking for him himself.

I didn’t expect it.

I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.

“…I really don’t know.”

I messed up my hair.

I hated being expelled from school.

I couldn’t choose any one.

‘There is only one way. Yes, if you think about it, Kang Tae-gu also said this to me. My role is not to directly harass Kim Hyun-seong, but to lower his grades. If I don’t take the lead and use the first years to push Kim Hyun-seong into a corner, and if I continue to harass him enough to lower his grades, I might be able to succeed in the request without having to touch him directly.’

Turned the happiness circuit.

It was plausible in its own way.

With Park Min-cheol’s gang and Park Jin-woo being swept away, the first-year students would not dare to bully Kim Hyun-seong, but if they put more pressure on him, there would be nothing they could do. This is possible if you have the notoriety of being a devil senior. Plus, since midterms are just around the corner, you can avoid responsibility by just pressing on for a few weeks.

The decision has been made.

My head became clear.

The moment I take the shortcut home.

Bah!

“evil!”

There was a terrible pain in my back.

Shin Young-min, who was hit by something and was rolling around on the floor, looked up with a puzzled face.

“I told you. “Watch your back.”

Hyunseong Kim.

He appeared before my eyes.

* * *

My mind was tangled in confusion.

The situation has not yet been determined.

Kim Hyun-seong’s fierce face and the stone in his hand.

It was only when he saw the rock falling to the ground that he realized that he had hit his back with it.

“You fucking bastard.”

My eyes turned.

How dare you touch yourself outside of school.

Even though he had been torn at a crossroads just now, he couldn’t maintain his senses in the current situation. It was a judgment call. First of all, I planned to turn Kim Hyun-seong into a blood clot and think about the rest.

The moment you wake up like that.

“Do you think this request is more important than your life?”

I was shocked.

Hyunseong Kim’s words.

It delivered a clear message.

Seeing Shin Young-min stopping right in front of him, Kim Hyun-seong looked straight at him and said.

“Stupid bastard. Do you think it was a coincidence that you were dragged away by the principal? I could have hid my messed up face, but I deliberately mentioned ‘your name’ to the teacher. It’s all because of you that made me look like this. “I knew that if I said that, the principal would come forward even if I didn’t have to.”

“You planned it from the beginning?”

“okay. “From the moment I visited you, I had no intention of ending this as our own problem.”

My complexion became pale.

I was horrified to learn that everything from the way he was running around like a mad dog to Oh Dae-hwan’s yelling was all Kim Hyun-seong’s plan.

That wasn’t the end.

Hyunseong Kim said.

“The broker went to see the principal, so your situation must be obvious. by the way. You’d better think carefully. Don’t think that messing with me will just end in expulsion. Not only do I plan to kick you out of Cheonil, but I also plan on somehow dragging you to criminal punishment and giving you a criminal record. And when you pay for your sins and come out, the people from Myungjin Construction will be waiting for you.”

I laughed.

It was a laugh full of pure emotion that was truly fun.

“You know that well, right? The fact that the eldest son of Myungjin Construction is my guardian. Those people will stop at nothing to prevent you from taking a position in Daesan. In the end, the only way for you to live like a human being is to leave your hometown, Daesan Bottom. Even if you leave like that, do you think I’ll give up on you?”

I put my face in.

Although Shin Young-min had a large physique, the atmosphere that overwhelmed him made him feel like he had become smaller.

The pupils shook violently.

This situation.

A terrifying threat.

It wasn’t realistic.

Shin Young-min stuttered.

“That’s a lie. Didn’t you want to take me down fair and square? “Didn’t you try to knock me down in front of the kids and become the best of the thousand days?”

It was an absurd sound.

Fair and square, Cheonil’s best.

Those were words that could easily have come out of a 19-year-old’s head.

If Kim Hyun-seong had not lived in a vegetable state for many years, he might have reacted in the same childish way.

but.

Kim Hyun-seong is different now.

“The illusion is too much. There is only one thing I wish for. I’m destroying the bastards who messed with me. Make them pay dearly for their mistakes so that they will never be able to look me in the eye again. My goal is to get paid by any means necessary. Do you understand what I mean?”

“Crazy bird….”

Quack!

I grabbed my head.

As Shin Young-min struggled in embarrassment, Kim Hyun-seong raised his right hand to strongly press him down.

“Choose. “If I want to go to school normally from now on, if I want to live at the bottom of Daesan Mountain like a human…”

He smiled brightly.

That devil-like smile was reflected in Shin Young-min’s eyes.

“From now on, grit your teeth and hold on. “Just like the other kids who were bullied by you.”

Sigh-!
