348. Side Story After Episode 5
“Brother…!”
Gold Mine Capital.
CEO Choi Jang-seok’s office.
A man opened the door and urgently looked for Choi Jang-seok.
“what?”
“Brother Hyuktae and the kids under him… I can’t contact them all.”
“…what?”
Choi Jang-seok’s eyes narrowed at that news.
The subordinate looked at his eyes and asked cautiously.
“Could it be that the police caught me…?”
“no.”
But Choi Jang-seok was adamant.
“If I had been caught by the police, I would have at least contacted them.”
“Then…”
“There is only one situation where contact can be completely cut off.”
Soon, Choi Jang-seok’s eyes sparkled.
“That guy Hyuktae met Kim Junwoo.”
“…!”
At the same time, the subordinate’s eyes widened.
But even after being surprised, he smiled happily and asked.
“Well, isn’t that actually a good thing? Kim Jun-woo may contact me soon…”
“Well.”
Choi Jang-seok tilted his head back.
“If Hyuk-tae had been caught, I would definitely have told him what I said, but seeing as there is still no news… I think Kim Jun-woo may have rejected my request.”
“yes…? What do you mean by that? “Are you saying you’re just going to capture Hyuktae and not look for us?”
“no. It’s not that they aren’t looking for us…”
The moment Choi Jang-seok calmly said those words.
“Brother tongue! “Brother Hyuktae contacted me!”
Another subordinate came into the office in a hurry.
At the same time, Choi Jang-seok was heartbroken at the thought that his ominous premonition had been wrong.
“That’s a good thing.”
“But that’s…”
The subordinate continued with a very troubled expression.
“It wasn’t Hyuktae… I got a call from Byeo Hospital.”
“…what?”
“Brother Hyuktae and the kids were all found on the street with broken legs…” “
….”
Choi Jang-seok didn’t stand up, but instead slumped down in his chair again.
It was so wrong… it was exactly right.
okay.
The fact that Hyuk-tae didn’t hear anything from Kim Jun-woo even though he met him… doesn’t mean that he will forgive us or that he won’t look for us.
It’s just…
“I think things are a little messed up.”
It’s a request, it’s a request, and it just means that they will wipe us out as soon as they see it.
“Shall we bring Hyuktae?”
“no. It’s probably already got a tail. “If you move too hastily, it only puts other kids in danger.”
“yes? “Are other kids in danger?”
“That guy, Kim Jun-woo, will probably try to kill our kids at random things. “If you stand out for no reason, you’ll be in trouble.”
“What is that…”
The subordinate looked like he couldn’t understand.
“Are you saying the secretary-general of an international organization is trying to resolve this matter privately?! “That’s just a crazy person…!”
“that’s right.”
Choi Jang-seok answered immediately.
“Kim Jun-woo has no intention of resolving this matter legally. They just want to destroy everything they see. If I deal with them one by one like that and eventually I’m left alone… then I’ll get out of this business.”
“Why on earth are you like that….”
“I guess he wants to pay back the same since I messed with his subordinate.”
“….”
Choi Jang-seok let out a long sigh and continued.
“Tell all the kids who are outside to come back right now.”
“….”
“I was short-thinking.”
A calm voice.
But I couldn’t hide my embarrassed expression.
“Kim Jun-woo… has no intention of meeting me.”
He was a lot more dangerous than I thought.
Of course, I knew he was a radical guy. That’s why he’s the type of guy who doesn’t step forward unless the situation is serious.
That is why I also used radical methods.
In order to call him out, he had to create a certain sense of crisis.
But if this happens…
‘Rather, we will have to hide…’
Choi Jang-seok stroked his head.
What should I do?
What on earth should I do… to tell my story to Kim Jun-woo?
While muttering that, I glanced at the small picture frame on the desk.
‘….’
A young woman wearing a graduation cap and smiling brightly.
Choi Jang-seok looked at his daughter’s image in the frame for a long time.

“Huh, did you recognize it?”
It was not long after Minju Kim received my instructions and started moving.
I received a call from Min Yujin.
“Roughly.”
“…Roughly.”
“There are limits to conducting research without other people hearing it. “I did as much as I could, so don’t complain.”
I hesitated to reply to her sharp voice.
I felt like if I said one more word, I wouldn’t be able to get a single speck out of it.
“so? What are the Black Lights doing? This is my first time hearing about this organization. “Are they the ones who split off from the Far East faction?”
The Far East faction was the most famous organized crime group in the Seoul area.
They were people who received the protection of lawmakers as political servants… In particular, they had a deep collusion with Congressman Jeong Hoon.
Of course, after Rep. Jeong Hoon was imprisoned, it weakened rapidly and eventually dispersed as the party was overthrown.
I heard that some executives formed another organization.
If it is an organization I have never heard of, there is a high probability that the Black Light Sect is one of them.
I thought…
“No.” “No?”
“These dark light bastards….”
She paused for a moment.
“It’s not an organized crime group.”
“…What?”
He gave an incomprehensible answer.
“What do you mean? “You go around beating up normal people, so what else are you if you’re not a gangster?”
“I’m a bit puzzled by that too, but…”
I heard the sound of documents flapping through the phone.
“First of all, it is an organization that was created in the past when organizations of people with special abilities were active. At the time, it was a vigilante organization that came together to protect commercial districts and citizens.” “
….”
“Well, most of the members were people who lost their stores or suffered damage to gangsters with superpowers. It is said that some of them are former gangsters, but this has not been confirmed.” It was
a time when the association and subjugation system were not yet perfect.
Among those with special abilities, there were those who chose to steal other people’s money instead of becoming hunters.
Not only was there no need to risk one’s life like a hunter, but there was nothing easier than messing with someone weaker than oneself.
Of course, now it has almost disappeared due to large-scale sweeps, but if it is an organization that has been active since then…
‘It’s already been more than 30 years.’
I’ve never heard of it, including before returning.
How can that be?
“…no way.”
“That’s right,”
Min Yu-jin answered, as if she already knew what I was going to say.
“The fact that the Black Light Sect has not been revealed so far means that it has never caused any official problems.”
“…Ha.”
“Well, from what I heard from people at the time, it seems like they protected the merchants without receiving any compensation. Because it was such a long time ago, not many people remembered it… but at least everyone who remembered it seemed to have received some help. Naming the group the Black Lights was probably a kind of suppression to warn other organizations.”
“Those guys have come now and suddenly become real gangsters?”
“Well, that’s a bit ambiguous,”
Min Yujin continued, clicking her tongue.
“I’m currently running a financial business called Geumgwang Capital, but this is a bit different from other loan businesses.”
“What’s the difference?”
“It is not simply a loan, but a method of paying monthly rent on behalf of small business owners. Not only is it unavailable to ordinary citizens, but there was no illegal activity, threat of injury, extortion, etc. during the process of the debt situation.” “
….”
Her explanation started to cloud my mind.
“Anyway, based on what I investigated, they are not bad guys.”
“Then what on earth is this matter?”
“I don’t know.”
“What?”
“Isn’t that something you should find out? All I can do is arrest those guys you sent straight to the hospital. Well, of course, if he was the one who instigated the assault, then we can properly investigate it, but….”
“There is no way they would admit it.”
“So.”
They will never mention their older brother.
‘Well, I could solve it myself, but…’
I chewed my lip with a bitter aftertaste.
Needless to say, bad guys can proceed with their work in peace.
But with these ambiguous people… you can’t help but think of thoughts that you should never do.
‘There must be a reason why he did this.’
The moment you think of that, you are already giving justification for what they did.
“If you’re really curious, why don’t you meet in person and talk about it? “I heard the boss asked me to meet him.”
“No, that’s not possible.”
“Oh my…”
“There must be some reason, there must be unavoidable circumstances… If you look at all of those things one by one, where in the world can there be a bad person?”
“You seem very angry.”
Min Yu-jin blurted out.
“Quite a lot.”
I answered immediately.
There was something strange, but nothing to worry about.
No matter what, they were people who beat up people, and I’m not a generous person who even considers the circumstances of criminals.
「Okay, okay. Instead, don’t make too much of a fuss. “There are limits to turning a blind eye to myself.”
“Okay.”
“Then…”
Just when I was about to hang up the phone.
A loud noise began to be heard beyond the cell phone.
At the same time.
“…What are those bastards? “What are you doing?”
her excited voice was heard.
“what. what’s the matter?
“I asked, but she hung up without answering.
It seemed like something had happened… but
at that time I was wondering for a moment if it was something I should care about.
Ringing -.
Immediately, I received a call from Minju Kim.
“What happened? “Do you have any income?”
“Teacher, we just caught one of the gang members…”
Kim Min-joo seemed to be in trouble and trailed off for a moment.
“When I asked about the whereabouts of the others, I was told that all of the gang members who participated in the assault had gone to turn themselves in…”
“What?”
Wait a minute, can’t it be…
What did Min Yujin just shout…?
‘Did you just come to turn yourself in?’
Only then did I understand the situation and placed my chin on my forehead.
If this happens….
“As you know, teacher, if all the gang members turn over to the police, we won’t be able to do anything about it anymore.” “
….”
Damn it.
Did you notice that I started catching mice?
No, even if that were the case, I never thought it would come out like this.
You put yourself in a cage because you don’t want to get caught?
‘Ha…’
I don’t know who he is, but he’s a guy who’s pretty picky about me.
There is no way I would ever make this choice without knowing what I want and what I am trying to do.
Yes, what I want is not to hand them over to the police.
If I had tried to resolve it legally in the first place, I wouldn’t have come forward myself.
I just wanted to set an example.
He was going to destroy all the members of the organization below him and withdraw when the leader was left alone.
Because it was the only way to return the same compensation for messing with my subordinate and at the same time destroy everything he had.
But if this happens….
‘It looks like I can’t do anything and just give up.’
As soon as that thought crossed my mind, I burst out laughing.
okay.
If you know me well, there is only one reason why I made this choice.
If you really want to make me pay with my own hands, come see me in person.
That’s what it means.
“…Kim Min-joo.”
“Yes, teacher.”
I took a quiet breath.
In fact, you can let go here.
Those who turn themselves in will be punished anyway, and if you’re lucky, you may even be able to reach the leader.
I just need to give up the desire to handle it myself.
but.
“I guess I’ll have to give up this time.”
If that was going to be the case, I wouldn’t have started in the first place.
“Let’s go see what that handsome top looks like.”
“…Yes.”
I don’t know who he is or what kind of bullshit he is talking about, but… I
will make him pay with my own hands.
