Devil Returns To School Days - Chapter 59
12. Transfer student from Seoul (7)
A few days ago.
Hyunseong Kim was in trouble.
After being dragged away by Kim Young-cheol, Choi Tae-jun rolled his tail, but that didn’t mean he could just sit by and watch.
‘how will we do it.’
Should I deal with it right now?
Or maybe think of another way.
To put it simply, risk factors should be eliminated, but paradoxically, the fact that the intention was blatant made him worry. The Golden Circle openly sent assassins. Choi Tae-jun, who suddenly transferred to a new school, the background of the Seoul Superintendent of Education who protects him, and even his actions that day when he started an argument without context.
It was an act of self-ignorance.
If I had known the seriousness of this request, I would not have revealed the identity of the assassin so blatantly.
‘The Golden Circle is a group where failure is not tolerated. The relationship with those in power, called the Golden Line, stems from past trust that never failed. Just as they sent Choi Tae-jun not long after Shin Young-min failed, if they fail again this time, they will send someone more than Choi Tae-jun. From then on, it is clear that the Golden Circle, which was optimistic about this situation and let its guard down, will sincerely try to deal with me.’
A class B powerhouse.
It was powerful.
When Kim Hyun-seong saw him knocking out Park Jin-woo right in front of his eyes, he instinctively knew that he could not be sure of victory against Choi Tae-jun. That doesn’t mean there’s no chance of winning. He proved that he had improved by defeating Shin Young-min, but the problem was that no matter how he was defeated, it was not the end.
If grade B fails, grade A.
If grade A fails, grade S.
The Golden Circle will not give up.
I thought that if I met a strong A-level opponent early on, my chances of winning might not exist at all.
‘My plan isn’t perfect. Variables that I cannot prepare for will put me in danger.’
Go Chang-beom’s work.
And various human relationships.
As he experienced a new life, Kim Hyun-seong keenly realized that the plan he had come up with was ultimately nothing more than a ‘frame’. The situation changed in real time. Although we are making every effort not to deviate from the larger framework, variables will definitely arise in areas that we have not experienced while living as a vegetative person.
Grade A powerhouses.
The same goes for them.
I knew that the Golden Circle had levels, but I had never experienced how strong they were.
‘I need to think and act more cleverly than now. Rather than exposing myself to an uncontrollable situation, I build a stronger fortress so that it never collapses. And so that the final plan can be perfectly implemented into reality.’
My heart grew cold.
You must not forget your duty.
Why am I here?
Intoxicated by the brief happiness, I had no intention of being told that I was a good person like before.
My mind became clear.
When dealing with Shin Young-min, there was a reason to overthrow him and take the throne, but not now.
There was no need or reason to be fair.
I turned my head.
“The weather is nice.”
Just like the day I first returned to the past, the dazzling sunlight was shining on me.
* * *
Choi Tae-jun’s shout.
Bae Seong-ho stopped walking.
When he turned around with an annoyed face, he saw Kim Hyun-seong’s back facing Choi Tae-jun.
“What are you going to do? “Why don’t you bring a knife?”
He had already made his decision.
1 million.
I gave my life for a certain price.
I didn’t like Choi Tae-jun’s sudden change, as his eyes were shining with greed and all his determination had ended. It’s difficult to make up your mind. Bae Seong-ho was planning to bring a sword right away as long as Kim Hyun-seong gave him an order.
Hyunseong Kim said without even looking back.
“I will reward you separately for your decision. “For now, just come.”
“…okay.”
“ha.”
Taejun Choi’s eyes opened.
At the thought of being free from the fear of death, I felt the blood flowing into my tingling hands.
but.
The situation is not over yet.
Hyunseong Kim said.
“Taejun. It would be best not to ignore what I say. No matter what you think, I am a person who is behind you more than you think. If someone stands in my way, I will risk my life and trample on that person’s life. Buyeon Apartment in Wangsimni, Seongdong-gu. My parents and one younger sister. Right?”
“…How do you do that?”
“I’ll ask you again. If you feel confident enough to handle it, you can change your words. Are you going to remain a Golden Circle until the end or are you going to become my dog?”
I was out of breath.
Address and family.
The intention was clear.
Kim Hyun-seong warned that if he broke his promise, he would tear Choi Tae-jun’s life to shreds.
It didn’t sound like a simple threat.
The devil gave Bae Seong-ho 100 million and ordered him to use the ‘sword’, but when you think about it with common sense, it was right to think that this might really happen. From then on, my body started shaking like crazy. In fact, agreeing with Kim Hyun-seong’s words was not a sincere intention, but rather a lie to somehow get out of this situation.
Once safety is secured.
I tried to contact the Golden Circle.
The current situation makes me wonder what kind of being Kim Hyun-seong is.
I thought that my own safety would be secured if I brought down Kim Hyun-sung by making a clear accusation.
‘I’ve stepped into something more dangerous than I thought.’
My feet were stuck in the mud.
I was complacent.
When I first joined the Golden Circle, I had a big dream, but a request that involved a person’s life was a problem that could end in disaster at any time. At worst, it could cost you your life. My mind was complicated. The process of leading school violence and carrying out requests was so creepy that it gave me goosebumps.
Someone among the victims.
Someone whose face I don’t even know.
He was living such a life that if he stabbed him with a knife out of malice, he might bleed to death on the street.
Personal strength?
It was meaningless.
Taejun Choi’s presence has decreased.
The presence that was huge when dealing with Bae Seong-ho’s gang was nothing in front of Kim Hyun-seong.
I lowered my head.
I couldn’t possibly look up.
Taejun Choi spoke with difficulty in a voice trembling with fear.
“…it will be your dog.”
“That’s right.”
Hyunseong Kim smiled brightly.
Taejun Choi couldn’t even resist the hand patting his head.
* * *
The situation has ended.
With Choi Tae-jun gone, only Bae Seong-ho and some of his gang remain.
First of all, he accepted Kim Hyun-seong’s order, but Bae Seong-ho asked with a somewhat worried look on his face.
“Is it okay if I send it like this? “If we continue to report this matter, it could actually put us in danger.”
“Then there’s nothing we can do.”
I meant it.
What if Taejun Choi breaks his promise?
It was an unstoppable trend.
Regardless of whether Choi Tae-jun was dealt with or not, as long as he was dealing with the Golden Circle, he had to take the risk that would come in stages. The request has already been received. Since the Golden Circle must succeed in its request, this was a chicken game that would not end unless one side gave up everything and turned the handle.
“If something like that happens, you have to keep your promise. “What happens if you take your promise to me lightly?”
Those were creepy words.
No matter how much he neglected his studies, no one knew that this meant that he would definitely retaliate against Taejun Choi.
Hyunseong Kim said.
“Bae Seong-ho. “You have work to do from now on.”
“Just say it.”
“Only the people present here should kiss each other and spread the rumor throughout Cheonil High School. He said there was a rift between me and him due to some incident. It’s not a discord that would betray the relationship, but I don’t think I can blindly move for me like I used to. And until I give you an order, don’t move like you did with Choi Tae-jun. Even if someone touches me or starts a fight. “You stay still.”
“…What are you thinking?”
I didn’t understand.
Even though an assassin named Choi Tae-jun still exists.
Hyunseong Kim exposed himself to danger.
Hyunseong Kim laughed.
“I’ll tell you about that later. If this plan goes through perfectly without any mistakes, I will reward everyone here generously. And Bae Seong-ho, check your bank account after school today. “I made a decision for myself, so whether I actually do something or not, that determination will definitely pay off.”
“thank you.”
Everyone’s eyes changed.
Seongho Bae was a good example.
A person who clearly changes the course and receives sufficient compensation from Kim Hyun-seong.
I will become a role model for the trash of a thousand days.
Since their loyalty directly leads to practical gains, they will try to fulfill their role as part of Cheolongseong until the end. Even if it causes your life to fall into abyss. Even if it means crossing a river from which there is no return. If people were people who could see the distant future and act wisely, they wouldn’t have lived like trash in the first place.
Except for Bae Seong-ho, everyone was sent.
Bae Seong-ho was the last man to speak.
“Bring Jo Jae-jin in without anyone knowing. “Because I have something to tell her.”
The eyes became cold.
Even more cleverly.
Even more viciously.
Hyunseong Kim will definitely achieve his goal.

That time.
Taejun Choi contacted Chansoo Jeong.
“…It happened like this.”
I tried to hide the tremor in my voice.
I was worried that Chansu Jeong might find out the truth, but a voice filled with joy was heard over the phone.
[also! [I heard you believed in our Taejun!]
A crossroads of choice.
Choi Tae-jun chose Kim Hyun-seong.
I had a lot of worries until I made the call, but I couldn’t forget Bae Seong-ho’s back as he went to get a knife and Kim Hyeon-seong’s bloody eyes. Then I realized. You should not actively intervene in this fight with a half-hearted attitude. Rather, being reduced to Kim Hyun-sung’s puppet seemed like a way to survive.
So I told a lie.
He was taken away by Kim Hyun-seong’s gang, but he beat them up and created a conflict between Bae Seong-ho and Kim Hyun-seong. And since they plan to include surrounding schools, they think they will be able to lay the groundwork to topple Kim Hyun-seong by December at the latest. It was all Kim Hyun-seong’s orders. Chansu Jeong could not help but be happy when he recited the script exactly as he had written it.
[If you need any progress fees or help in the meantime, please let me know at any time. And Taejun. You said this as you went down to Daesan. I definitely want to succeed and make a lot of money. I want to hold in my hands a power that no one can control. I will make it happen. If you finish this job well and come back to Seoul, you will be Chan-soo Jeong’s first pick.]
“…Thank you.”
[Yes, it’s hard work. Please contact me if there are any changes.]
“Yes.”
Take off.
The phone was disconnected.
Taejun Choi looked blankly at his phone.
My hands were shaking when I saw the name written as Golden Circle Broker.
“Fuck.”
It was only a week.
When I first saw Cheonil High School’s banner, I had a disgruntled expression on my face and planned to end the matter quickly. As Kim Hyun-seong thought, Golden Circle took this request lightly. Even though there was a clear case of failure in Kang Tae-gu, I thought the problem would be solved by sending a stronger solver.
For a week like that.
Taejun Choi collapsed helplessly.
When I came to my senses, having never fought with Kim Hyun-seong, I found myself in a corner.
‘The reason that guy is scary isn’t just because he doesn’t have a back. I wasn’t embarrassed at all even though the Golden Circle revealed its blatant intentions. It felt like I was putting the entire board on my palm and really calculating everything, as if I had expected it. This is something I shouldn’t get involved in. If he doesn’t back down even after knowing the true nature of the Golden Circle, dealing with someone like me would be nothing.’
Deep murderous intent.
It was real.
Where on earth did it go wrong?
Surely a hopeful future was waiting just a week ago, but how did it end up like this?
“under-.”
I sighed and looked up at the sky.
Before I knew it, dark clouds rolled in.
Feeling like that was his future, Taejun Choi nervously put his cell phone in his pocket.
