Chapter 268 – Killing Talent (2)
After hearing the explanation that followed, Seo Ju-hwan’s impression was furiously crumpled.
“I knew he was originally a scumbag, but…….”
Moon Kyu-seok was more trash than expected. It’s not enough to simply call them arches. Lee Seok-chan explained that he was a criminal with a history of violence, theft, and even rape.
“Sometimes they maliciously approached me and harassed me by committing fraud or making private loans.”
“Can’t you take legal action on that?”
Lee Seok-chan shook his head.
“What I have said so far is, after all, a highly credible card, not material evidence. It’s hard to get caught without evidence.”
“Women? You said that there are quite a few women who have been victimized by that bastard. It’s a bit like a structure, but if the victim is a woman, isn’t it effective to report it without evidence?”
“What are you going to do if you wake up? It’s not easy even if you’re afraid of retaliation. And that baby father is not just a moneylender.”
“Then?”
At Seo Joo-hwan’s question, Lee Seok-chan clicked his tongue as if he was in trouble.
“Gangster. He is also a house manager for a fairly large organization.”
“… Gangster? House manager?”
“They’re called black bears.”
“Her. Black bear plague.”
Seo Joo-hwan spat out with a puzzled expression. What does a gangster mean in the 21st century? He never expected to hear such an outdated word.
“It is difficult to touch easily because of that. A gangster running a loan business with a few people would do it in moderation, but it’s difficult because it’s a bit large. And those guys usually have connections with the police as well.”
At this point, it was beyond the scope of Lee Seok-chan’s personal help his. Of course, if a conglomerate decides and uses its hands, it would be so afraid of gangsters, but Lee Seok-chan as an individual was only a blood relative of the Unsung Group, not the company itself.
Lee Seok-chan said with a slightly embarrassed expression.
“I said it was easy, but I’m sorry it turned out this way.”
“I’m sorry about that, but rather thank you.”
“Should I ask my father right now?”
“It’s okay, man. Then you’re in trouble There’s nothing I can do about it.”
It wasn’t that Lee Seok-chan didn’t ask his father for a favor. However, from his father’s point of view, Seo Joo-hwan is a stranger. He had no reason to help without payment.
Instead, his father attached a condition.
‘Skip off college and learn to work under me. Or should I transfer to Korea University?’
Learning to work under someone means stepping into the competition for successors. Lee Seok-chan naturally refused. He wasn’t even worth worrying about. Now, it was a refusal to participate in a competition that he had no interest in, and to be checked by his blood relatives.
Instead, he quietly applied pressure.
‘Is that mean? Then I won’t help you in the future.’
His relatives his as well as his father his often came to him for advice. Lee Seok-chan used that as a bargaining chip.
But his father’s reaction was indifferent.
‘That’s right.’
‘Yes?’
‘What are you surprised at? It is true that you have a good eye and sense, but there is no problem with fortune without you alone. You didn’t think it would be a means of negotiation, did you?’
‘…….’
‘Oh, and if you don’t help with work, I’ll suspend your allowance and cards again. I believe there will be no complaints.’
‘… My father is quite sarcastic.’
‘Kuhm. Anyway, if you don’t like it, do what you can. Wouldn’t it be dangerous to sell the name of the fortune?’
That’s right. As he originally thought, it was impossible to hit first, but he could prepare for safety. All you have to do is put in a reasonable amount of contact.
Lee Seok-chan finally nodded his head with a feeling of embarrassment.
‘Then let’s do it. The company will not go even if it dies. If I did, I would.’
‘Then so… Wait, you’re starting a company? Are you saying you want to run your own business?’
‘I’m hanging up.’
‘Wait, Seokchan… !’
Lee Seok-chan clicked his tongue as he recalled that time. Like a nasty old man. Until a few months ago, he said he was sorry and acted friendly, but he was a very cold-hearted person when it comes to public matters. So even though he is the youngest, his grandfather must have had him in mind as an heir.
Meanwhile, Seo Joo-hwan licked his lips again and scratched his head. If this happened, he seemed to have to withdraw his plan to properly step on Moon Kyu-seok. He seemed to be trying to mobilize thugs, so he tried to hit the ball, but things turned out to be more complicated than expected.
‘I don’t think it matters much, but.’
To be honest, on the one hand, I had stepped on that much, but I also wanted to do something more. And it doesn’t matter if you bring a real thug. It was because I was confident that I could defeat quite a few guys with my own hands. If you feel uneasy, you can ask Baek Kang-ho to act as your personal bodyguard for a while.

Seo Ju-hwan and his party were at school until late in the morning and were on their way home. It was because Chuseok had passed and it was time to prepare for the midterm exam.
While walking, Jung Ha-yeon said.
“Lee Seok-chan said he completely stopped studying these days? They don’t even stay in school.”
“There must be something else to do. He seemed to be secretly busy.”
Seo Joo-hwan shrugged his shoulders and replied. In fact, he wasn’t studying either.
“Juhwan, aren’t you busy these days too?”
“So what. It’s because a new series has been published.”
“I can’t focus on studying because I’m writing. What should we do?”
“What are you studying… Even if you cram in moderation, it’s okay because you get good grades.”
“… I’m a bit unlucky.”
Jung Ha-yeon said while frowning at her. Then, Yoo Ji-kyung, who was walking beside her, looked at Jeong Ha-yeon with a puzzled expression.
“OMG. What does your sister say? In terms of grades, my older sister is the unluckiest!”
“I work hard.”
“Sister, I work hard too?!”
“Isn’t it because he’s a raccoon? Not. Animals are geniuses…….”
“Ah, sister!”
Yoo Ji-kyung sighed with an unfair expression. Originally, only Seo Joo-hwan allowed her to be nicknamed Neoguri, but at some point, she was being called that by Jung Ha-yeon as well.
As she walked and talked about every detail, she arrived at a fork in the road before she knew it. Seo Joo-hwan waved to Yoo Ji-gyeong and Jang Deok-hoon.
“Deokhun-ah, please take care of Ji-kyung.”
“Yes. Don’t worry, brother.”
“Brother, sister, goodbye!”
Jang Deok-hun politely greeted her, and Yu Ji-gyeong shook her hand.
Seo Joo-hwan, who was left alone with Jung Ha-yeon, secretly held her hand. Then, her long, white fingers her intertwined with each other. I would have been embarrassed in the past, but now it was a very natural reaction.
He let out a low laugh, somehow feeling better. Jeong Ha-yeon looks back at him with a confused face.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Just. It’s nice to be with you.”
“What are you saying, flirt?”
“So you don’t like it?”
“… Would you be doing this if you didn’t like it?”
Jeong Ha-yeon pursed her lips and held her hand tighter. At that, Seo Joo-hwan giggled and laughed. Once again, I thought that Jung Ha-yeon had made great progress.
‘If it was like the old days, I would have only cursed.’
On the inside, he liked it, but on the outside, it was clear that he cursed out of embarrassment. Of course, it wasn’t as friendly as it is now, but the expression of ‘I like you’ came back clearly.
Seo Joo-hwan caught the mood and looked at Jeong Ha-yeon’s status window. Currently, she had an A in liking and a B+ in sexual desire.
‘It’s like setting the order with the border.’
I’ve been thinking that way lately. He seemed to have communications only with women he did not know. It wasn’t such an unfounded idea.
Originally, the person closest to home from school is Seo Ju-hwan. However, he tended to walk with Jeong Ha-yeon and Yoo Ji-gyeong until the end. However, the person who was with me at each crossroads naturally changed. And most of those choices were with Jung Ha-yeon or Yoo Ji-kyung, not him. Even today, Jung Ha-yeon was the first to quietly follow her and walk close.
Then Jeong Ha-yeon suddenly said.
“Joo Hwan-ah.”
“Yes?”
“Shall I quit smoking too?”
“Uh? Why all of a sudden?”
“Just. It’s not good for the body, and it smells a lot… It seems like it would be difficult for you to quit smoking.”
If the original story is stretched, the last line is the key.
Seo Joo-hwan knew what she was thinking and let out a laugh. In the end, he said that he would quit smoking because he was worried that it would interfere with his smoking cessation of his. Anyway, there was a cute corner. No, should I say it’s special this time?
“… Shut up. Do not laugh. Don’t cut it.”
After all, it might be cute.
Seo Joo-hwan giggled for a while, but finally stopped laughing after being hit on the back.
That was the time when he was walking like he was going to date after a long time.
Suddenly, I felt popular. And the moment I turned the alley, three tough-looking men came out from behind a parked car.
The old man in the middle stepped forward and said.
“Sir, some are shivering in the cold, but some are very warm with a pretty girlfriend. Right, student Joo-hwan?”
Saying so, the scarred man with a scar on his lips approached step by step threateningly.
“… Joo Hwan-ah, what are these people doing?”
“Ha Yeon-ah, come back.”
Instead of panicking, Seo Joo-hwan sent Jeong Ha-yeon behind. And she stepped forward and said.
“Did Moon Gyu-seok send it?”
“Who is that? Are you guys in a bad mood right now? So, let’s hit a few.”
Seo Joo-hwan let out a laugh. If you’re going to act, do you do it right? What if Kyu-seok Moon pretends not to know that he is a student of Joo-hwan when he calls him? It was also difficult to match the rhythm.
‘But what happened? I thought Seok-chan did something.’
Seo Joo-hwan shook his head. The question is later. First of all, he pretended to be relaxed and smiled without showing embarrassment.
Seeing his smile his, the thick-haired man crumpled a stern expression.
“Split? You get an extra arm with that, asshole.”
“Black bears.”
“…… !”
All three men, including the long hair, reacted in shock at the sudden words.
Seo Joo-hwan smiled and said.
“That’s right, that bastard Moon Kyu-seok sent it.”
At that, the smile disappeared from his face. He glanced at the two people on his left and right and said.
“Joe.”
At the same time, three long men rushed.
Seo Joo-hwan, who was nervous inside, lowered his posture and responded.
‘Am I going to become three gangsters?’
Contrary to what I thought, the body with the ‘Baktu’ talent reacted according to its instincts. Baktur means fighting by hitting and hitting each other. It was a talent suitable for fighting itself rather than martial arts.
“Take it, uncle!”
He throws the bag he was carrying at the thugs rushing from the center, and kicks a stone on the floor. Using the talent of ‘foot ingenuity’ and its special ability, ‘monkey foot’, the cold stone flew straight towards the face of the tattoo gangster who rushed from the left. The tattoo gangster was frightened and avoided the stone.
In the meantime, Seo Joo-hwan ran at the man in sunglasses running from the right.
[The special ability ‘Slow Video’ is activated.]
Improves visual acuity and thinking ability. I dodged the slowly approaching man in sunglasses and threw his fist at the bridge of his nose.
Quick!
Sunglasses break and man loses balance. He kicked the man in the stomach as he fell. The man was pushed back, entangled with the curly-haired guy, and collapsed.
“This bastard!”
The man with the tattoo who avoided the stone came close to me. It is already too late to avoid it. Seo Joo-hwan gritted his teeth and hit him with one fist.
Wow!
The shock was transmitted with a dull sound. However, he was hit knowing in advance, so there was no big blow. Instead of being pushed away, he grabbed the man’s neck and lifted his knees at the same time.
Blah blah!
He felt something splitting from his knee.
“Keah!”
The tattooed man sat down in his seat, clutching his face.
“Shut up. It’s dawn now. Child.”
Baek!
Seo Joo-hwan didn’t even give the man time to suffer and kicked him in the torso. The weight-bearing kick causes the man to stomp backwards with a groan.
“This bastard… !”
The entangled and collapsed Kakppagi got up while swearing.
Seo Joo-hwan laughed fiercely and spat out curses at him.
“Come on, bald-headed bastard. But will you be alone?”
The tight-haired gangster was stunned to see the two collapsed in an instant. Receiving the thrown bag and receiving the pushed bulky body, all but one of them stretched out while rolling on the floor twice.
‘Sir, what is this bastard? They do it better than the pros.’
He was told that he was good at fighting, but he thought he was a normal person. However, the skill is not normal. In particular, the way he hit vital points without hesitation and without hesitation in his hand his was hardly something that could be called normal.
However, he soon raised the corner of his mouth.
“You did well to arrange insurance.”
“… What?”
That was the moment. A scream came from behind.
“Kyaaaaagh!”
It was Jeong Ha-yeon’s voice.
Seo Ju-hwan was surprised and hurriedly turned around. A man in a leather jacket was holding Jeong Ha-yeon from behind.
“That bastard… !”
“Stay still! Can’t you understand the situation?”
He tried to jump right in, but was immobilized by the ensuing threat. As long as Jeong Ha-yeon is held hostage, the fight cannot be established.
However, Seo Joo-hwan bit his teeth and glared at the man who grabbed Jung Ha-yeon as if to kill him.
It was then.
[The special ability, ‘kill’ is activated.]
An intangible energy spread from Seo Joo-hwan like a flame.
