Devil Returns To School Days - Chapter 70

15. Malice (4)

Squeak.

The warehouse door opened.

Like the sunlight shining behind his back, Kim Young-cheol could not hide his embarrassed expression when he saw what was inside.

“…what a piece of shit.”

Cursing welled up in my throat.

Kim Hyun-seong is sitting with his back on the jumping rack, and Oh Hye-ji is sprawled on the floor.

It was a miserable sight.

Judging by the blood dripping from Kim Hyun-seong’s hand, it was clear that Kim Hyun-seong was the one who messed up Oh Hye-ji’s face. For a moment, my mind became confused. It seems that the reason Kim Hyun-seong sent the text message was to ask for the situation to be resolved, but he couldn’t just accept the current situation, no matter how trash it was.

“You keep doing it and now you’re hitting women too. “Isn’t this right?”

“It’s him.”

“what?”

“He’s a client of the Golden Circle.”

“…uh?”

I had an eerie feeling.

Only then did I understand.

The reason why Kim Hyun-seong, who always had a ‘justice’ even if he was excessively violent, beat an innocent female student to this extent. In that case, it could no longer be described as cruel. If one person’s malicious intent was to plunge another person into the abyss, it was natural that the reward would at least be returned when the intention was discovered.

I messed up my hair.

If the Golden Circle’s client was Oh Hye-ji, Kim Young-cheol had to resolve the situation.

“I will try to fix it somehow, but Oh Hye-ji’s parents are not usually easy people. Especially since my father’s family is a member of Daesan, if I see this, I will never ignore it. I can’t guarantee that even Myungjin Construction’s background will work this time. “Just as Myungjin Construction took root in Daesan, so does Oh Hye-ji’s family, and the scale is completely different from the issues we have dealt with so far.”

I bit my lip and ate it.

This is not something that can just be overlooked.

If things were handled like the Shin Young-min issue, it was clear that Oh Hye-ji’s parents would be accompanied by those in power in Daesan.

“…Would you rather blame it on the other kids? Like, someone else hit you, or a fight between girls. Ha-no. Is there any way that could work? “The child’s face is completely messed up, and even if there were a child to bear the crime instead of you, Oh Hye-ji herself would not remain silent.”

I had all kinds of thoughts.

Should I say I got hurt while exercising?

Or should I just say that I got pummeled.

I thought of various excuses for not revealing Kim Hyun-seong, but no matter how much I thought about it, there was no clear solution.

Hyunseong Kim said.

“There is no need to resolve the situation.”

“What are you talking about? “Just leave me alone?”

“yes.”

The reason for calling Kim Young-cheol.

It was for Oh Hye-ji’s safe return home.

To show Oh Hye-ji’s condition to her parents before she gets involved with the police.

Kim Hyun-seong’s eyes sank deeply.

“Just send me home.”

* * *

Oh Hye-ji came to her senses late.

She returned home in Kim Young-cheol’s car and burst into tears as soon as she saw her parents.

“Daddy ugh!”

“No, what is happening!”

The house was turned upside down.

The face of Geum Geum-ok-yeop (金枝玉葉) of the Oh family turned miserable.

Kim Young-cheol tried to erase the blood stains with a handkerchief, but there was nothing he could do about his swollen face, collapsed nose, and cheekbones. In fact, it was necessary to take him to the hospital right away. Oh Hye-ji’s father, Oh Chun-sam, was not unaware of the fact, but he was unable to make common sense decisions due to his boiling anger.

“What kind of crazy bastards would touch our precious daughter?!”

I interrogated my daughter.

What happened and who did this?

Oh Hye-ji couldn’t speak properly because her lips were completely chapped, but she spoke slowly about what she had experienced.

I found out that you requested it.

Hyunseong Kim made it like this.

Kim Young-cheol took control of the situation.

It was a complicated problem.

Behind Kim Hyun-seong is Go Chang-beom.

Knowing that Myungjin Construction’s eldest son had caused difficulties, he was not someone I could deal with with half-hearted preparation.

my wife shouted.

“Honey, what are you going to do?! Are you going to leave alone the boy who touched our Hyeji?”

“no. Are you going to keep quiet and say I’m crazy? “Everyone, including Kim Hyun-seong and Kim Young-cheol and Go Chang-beom, should be put in prison!”

I shook my head.

A thought occurred to me.

Having lived in Daesan for a long time, he knew how Myungjin Construction was run.

‘Myungjin Construction is currently competing for succession. Go Chang-beom’s power comes from the possibility that he may inherit Myungjin Construction, and if I promise to support Go Chang-seok, Myungjin Construction will not be able to easily help Kim Hyun-seong. First, let’s take revenge in turn after handling my daughter like this. ‘

Previously.

There was someone to contact first.

I picked up my cell phone.

I dialed a familiar number.

“Damn you bastards. “I couldn’t handle a single task properly and the client’s identity was discovered.”

Chansu Jeong.

My anger towards him was intense.

He didn’t like the lack of support for the request, but when he discovered the identity of the client, the spark spread to his daughter. What Golden Circle pursues is complete confidentiality. The power system known as the Golden Line was able to be maintained because it had never failed so far, but Oh Hye-ji’s incident was truly a huge accident.

worthy of loss of trust.

This is something that the Golden Circle must compensate for.

I made a call.

They poured out double insults and tried to hold him primarily responsible.

however.

[Customer cannot answer the phone right now. Please call again next time.]

The voice returns.

Oh Chun-sam’s expression distorted.

* * *

Kim Hyun-seong was still in the warehouse.

Leaning back on the jumping platform, I looked at the blue sky beyond the darkness and dialed an unsaved number.

Take off.

[Who is it?…]

“It’s me, Kim Hyun-seong.”

I stopped talking.

There was silence.

Chansu Jeong has never revealed his number, so it felt like his complicated thoughts could be heard through the phone.

“A little while ago, I made Oh Hye-ji into a blood clot and sent her back home. The client who instigated me. Right?”

[Did Choi Tae-jun betray you?]

“You’re quick to notice.”

Number exposure.

The client’s identity is discovered.

For Chansu Jeong, there was only one possibility.

Taejun Choi would have betrayed him.

It was clear that Choi Tae-jun gave Kim Hyun-seong his number and provided him with a source to find out the client’s identity. Kim Hyun-seong did not bother to hide that fact. Not only was there no reason to guarantee Choi Tae-jun’s safety, but since the situation had progressed like this anyway, Choi Tae-jun’s betrayal could not be hidden.

Hyunseong Kim said.

“The reason the Golden Circle was able to form its current power is probably because of its complete confidentiality and past history of never failing. Chansu Jeong. You have left a stain on the history of the Golden Circle. If a request fails, you just have to try repeatedly and somehow produce a result called ‘success’, but the fact that the client’s identity is discovered is a different problem. Those in power will begin to doubt the Golden Circle’s capabilities. “They might get tied up by you for no reason and their ankles might get caught, or their children might get hurt.”

There was no answer back.

I kept talking to myself.

“How will the Golden Circle handle this issue? Should I reassure the client that something like this will never happen in the future? That can’t be possible. I will do my best to make it something that never happened. You, who somehow persuaded Oh Hye-ji’s parents to keep quiet and led this incident, will lose your place in the Golden Circle and become unable to reveal secrets. Don’t say no. You know it well. “Just as Kang Tae-gu was immediately replaced by you, you too are ultimately nothing more than expendable goods.”

Golden Circle.

It was a group beyond imagination.

The identity of the person who first created the Golden Circle was not revealed, and even the slightly revealed members of the Golden Line had flashy names. Politicians, conglomerates, celebrities, etc. The reason they were able to accept their secret connection was because the secret had never been leaked.

blast furnace.

The only failure was very fatal.

The fact that Oh Hye-ji’s identity was revealed meant anxiety that their atrocities might be exposed.

[…What are you trying to tell me?]

It was a voice that had lost its strength.

Chansu Jeong himself knew it.

Choi Tae-jun’s betrayal was a result that he had to deal with, and the Golden Circle was more likely to make it seem like it never happened rather than giving him a chance to resolve the problem. That means there was no place for oneself. It was an instant for a man named Jeong Chan-soo, who had been working as a broker for the Golden Circle, to disappear without anyone noticing.

“There is one way.”

[….]

Silence.

It was an unspoken affirmation.

Even without saying a word, I could feel my earnest desire for Dongajul.

“Report this request to your superiors as if it was a success. The goal of Kim Hyun-seong was completed and the client was satisfied. “Send Choi Tae-jun back to Seoul.”

[If that were the case, the client wouldn’t stay still.]

He chuckled.

What I just said.

It was agreed upon.

To a man who desperately wanted to survive, Kim Hyun-seong told him what he wanted to hear.

“throw away. “If you want to live, someone has to die in your place.”

* * *

Tuk.

The phone was disconnected.

Chansu Jeong showed blank eyes.

I didn’t even have the strength to get angry.

He couldn’t take his eyes off his phone screen for a while because the situation was so desperate that his head froze.

“…Damn it.”

Hyunseong Kim’s words.

Everything was right from start to finish.

It’s only once.

Although this was his first time experiencing failure as he had always been successful, he knew that the Golden Circle would never tolerate this outcome. Isn’t this a simple failure? If the client’s child was in such a miserable state that it turned into a blood clot, everyone connected to the Golden Circle would be anxious.

My head hurt.

Just then a phone call came.

It was Oh Chun-sam.

Chansoo Jeong knew what would happen if he answered the phone, so he couldn’t bear to answer the phone, holding his head.

“What the fuck are you telling me to do?”

My mouth was dry.

Will they be able to survive if they sell Taejun Choi?

no.

It’s just wishful thinking.

It was he who hired Choi Tae-jun, and he was the one who gave him clues to find out the client’s identity.

So how can we persuade the client?

That too was impossible.

The person who called Oh Chun-sam to say that the request was slowing down every day was not enough, and there was no way he would just sit still after seeing his daughter’s condition. It will definitely cause a huge uproar. It was clear that responsibility would be held at the top of the Golden Circle, and that the top would not only handle the matter reliably but also decide ‘their own disposition’.

I was at a loss.

He was an outsider.

There was no way back or any hope in sight.

‘…Kim Hyun-seong. Is it really right to believe what he says?

Before hanging up the call.

Hyunseong Kim said a plan.

It seemed plausible.

It wasn’t a bad plan, but the moment I followed it, it was as if I had lost my way back.

The worries continued.

As he was racking his brain and thinking, he looked like he had made a decision.

“There is no way anyway.”

Either this or that.

The ending was his own downfall.

In order to survive, I had to put even the slightest hope on the line.

Kim Hyun-seong is clever.

Even though he was only 17 years old, he had enough intelligence to defeat the Golden Circle’s request and reveal the client’s identity for the first time. It was not an easy task for any of them. The same goes for dealing with Park Min-cheol’s gang, Shin Young-min, and Choi Tae-jun. The same goes for making Choi Tae-jun, a B-grade talent, betray him.

And now.

Even my own heart was shaken.

It wasn’t normal.

He had the ability to make his plans a reality.

gulp.

I swallowed dry saliva.

Just then, the phone rang again.

On the cell phone screen that said Oh Chun-sam, Jeong Chan-soo wiped his face with his palm.

“Fuck.”

It was a judgment call.

Even though I knew it was over the moment I got into the same boat.

Take off.

[Hey, this dog! Why get the phone now!]

Jung Chan -soo received the phone.
