Chapter 215 – 215. Frog in the Well 3
“Is it really over?”
The manager asks me if I still don’t believe it, even though he sees the chairman kneeling.
“Well, I haven’t killed you yet, so it’s not completely over. I have some questions to ask, so I’ll kill you later. Is that okay?”
“That doesn’t matter… Ha. This is true. My God… How can it be like this…”
“This is how everything happens in the world. If you don’t prepare carefully, this is what happens. Anyway, I’m going to clean up now. Manager? Is there a place where several people can gather together and talk?”
“There is… The conference room will be enough.”
“Really? Then, let’s take our time after lunch and gather in the conference room around 3 o’clock. We have a lot to talk about.”
“Ah… Yes, I understand.”
“Class presidents. Pick three representatives from among you. The term of office for the representative is one year, and reappointment is not possible. The representative position will not be a position of strength and authority, but rather a position of hardship. Select yourself. Go and select a representative now, and that representative will be a position of hardship. “Please attend the meeting at 3 o’clock. All of you must attend today.”
The class leaders whispered among themselves as if they were surprised, then said they understood and left.
Since they know that they are in a symbiotic relationship rather than being exploited, they should be treated appropriately, so there will be no complaints.
Of course, complaints will continue to arise no matter how much you listen to them… In any case, you have to treat them well beyond the basics so that you have room to refute them later when they say bullshit.
“Manager.”
“Yes?”
“What are your skills?”
“Ah… I’m fainting.”
“Hana?”
“Yes.”
“Yes. It’s a pretty good skill. Let me ask you one thing. What is your opinion of those women? Even though the chairman says he was using them as charm, I think there might be some antipathy towards them.”
“Well, I can’t speak for everyone’s opinion, but… I don’t think anyone would blame them. In a way, they are victims too.”
“Really? But it looks like everyone still has some sense of reason left. I guess they haven’t fallen into madness.”
“I don’t think he would be that stupid.”
“Yes. I hope so too.”
I took out the tape from my backpack.
The manager looked at me and looked like, ‘What is this crazy guy going to do again?’
I approached the chairman with a tape and spoke to the woman who got 90 points.
“Ask what this guy’s skills are.”
“Tell me what your skills are.”
“I have fascination and reflection.”
Hmm… As expected, everyone thinks the same thing. Well, for a man with charm to deal with a woman with charm, he must have reflection or invisibility. If you don’t, you will suffer.
They ripped off the tape, covered the chairman’s eyes and mouth, and tied him up.
Everyone looks at my dazzling tape skills and looks like, ‘What on earth is this guy doing?’
“Women, everyone gathers here.”
Women gathered near the chairman.
I used area skill nullification on them.
As the fascination I placed on him wears off, the women’s expressions, which had been calm and without much hesitation, turn into complex ones.
“Now. If you use charm carelessly from now on, you will die on the spot.”
Women looking at me with a fearful expression at my words.
“I will not hold you guilty or anything considering the way you have been taken advantage of until now. You are literally free. But that does not mean that the skills you have are not threatening. Charm is a very dangerous skill and can destroy everything in an instant. It’s a skill that can mess things up, so you may have no choice but to live a limited life.”
Women nodding their heads. I probably won’t do anything useless.
You solved a terrible situation for them, but if you try to do something useless here… That’s the intelligence of a bird, right?
Besides, if you don’t do that, you’ll be in trouble. In a way, these women are weapons.
A weapon that only I can use. Of course, another guy with charm might pass over it, but that’s only if he found out about the existence of these women.
“Go and rest for now. No matter what the chairman did to you, it won’t happen again in the future. So, go and rest with a comfortable mind. There’s at least a place to rest, right?”
“Yes.”
The women answered, and I gestured for them to go.
They have a carefree expression. I withdrew my gaze from them and looked at the manager.
“Ha… There’s a lot to do. First… Let’s go somewhere with me for a while before I extract information.”
“Yes?”
“Follow me for a moment. If I don’t go directly, you won’t believe me, so I have to go.”
“What are you talking about?”
“I’ll find out when I get there. Is this the way to go through the front door?”
“No. Chairman, where are you going to leave this guy here like this?”
“You’re leaving the executive branch behind. Surely they aren’t the ones who would release the chairman and betray him?”
“Of course it should be… But why the main gate?”
“Let’s go first. Ask questions later.”
The manager firmly tells the four executives to protect the chairman and follows me.
“The front door is this way.”
The manager and I left the building.
It is a pleasant feeling to look at the main gate from the inside like this, which I had seen from the side of the mountain.
Now that we have safely obtained this place, it means that from now on we can confidently walk through the front gate without having to hide or go through the hole under the fence.
The guard guarding the entrance was surprised to see me, but didn’t do anything because the manager was next to him.
I passed him and went out the door at the entrance.
“It’s me! Come out!”
The manager and security made a bewildered look when they saw me yelling.
And when Jeong Hyeon appeared a little later, his expression became even more absurd.
“Eh? Captain?”
“It was cold, but you had a hard time.”
“No… Why are you coming out there? Who is the person next to you… And what on earth happened?”
“The property has been taken over. So go and bring all the kids.”
“Yes?”
“Pack your luggage and everything. When you come in, come in this way. There. This woman and four other women will come this way, so be aware of that.”
When I spoke to the security guard, the security guard looked at the manager.
The manager nodded, and the security guard replied that he knew.
“Wow. I’m a little embarrassed.”
“That’s just the way it is. Don’t waste time and just go get him.”
“Okay. Wow. This.”
Jeonghyeon continues to tilt his head even as he leaves.
I understand how she feels. They must be embarrassed because the work ended without them even doing anything.
“Ha. Since when have we been in danger?”
The manager also asks me in a puzzled tone.
“Well, since when the garden was created?”
“I don’t want to sound like a Zen question about being born to die.”
“You’re sharp. Well, to be precise, since when I destroyed the camp?”
“Camp… I expected it, but you did it too.”
“Yeah. Who else around here would do something crazy like that?”
“Camp… I guess it wasn’t that cozy of a place. Well, it got better and better after President Kim died.”
“President Kim?”
“Ah. There is such a person. The person who created the first camp.”
“Ah.”
There is no need to talk more about the place that was ruined anyway.
There are so many things to worry about in the future.
“Oh. And.”
“Huh?”
“We also need to prepare for the guys who will come at 4 o’clock.”
“Four o’clock? Ah. Black sedan?”
“Do you know that too? This is so… Well, seeing as there are guards like that in front of the main gate, it’s hard not to know.”
“I don’t know what they are doing. What is it?”
“It’s just the chairman’s dirty behavior. Bringing in women he has and bragging about them… I don’t have to explain anymore, right?”
“Ah. They are people you can kill.”
“You have a very simple way of thinking.”
“Simple is best.”
“That’s true.”
“Don’t worry. There will be attractive women anyway… It’s not work to dig up information. If you cut a sweet potato, you have to dig it up along the stem.”
“Ah… It’s happening again. You look very familiar with this kind of thing, huh?”
“Well, if you’re used to it, you’re used to it. Let’s go in first. It’s cold.”
Manager, this person… Even if I keep speaking informally, he doesn’t feel bad and his head works well… I like it too.
Well, for a person of this caliber, he must have taken care of running such a large place.
Looking at it, it looks like the chairman created it, but didn’t actually run it.
Although he had the skills to lead a cult, he didn’t seem to have the skills to create a community like this.
Well, it’s only natural that the two have completely different personalities.
When I returned to the chairman’s office, I thought as I saw the chairman wriggling like a bug on the floor.
The first thing to do is to bring out everything this guy knows.
Even if you didn’t actively participate in the operation of this garden, you probably know a lot, so finding out that is an urgent priority.
“Manager. Are you busy?”
“No… I was busy a little while ago, but I’m not so busy now. There’s no need to change the growth team’s schedule.”
“Ah. Yes. Growth. It’s a good skill. It’s probably the most key skill that can save the food crisis.”
“That’s right. The production volume itself varies depending on whether there is growth or not.”
“So you’re saying you’re free? From now on, I’m going to extract information from this guy, the chairman. Do you want to listen together?”
“Ah. If that’s the case, of course I should listen.”
“Okay. If you can, keep it. If you want to run this place without me in the future, it’s good to know it together.”
“I’ve been wondering about this for a while now… Don’t you plan on staying here?”
“Uh.”
“Then why on earth did you hit the chairman of the board? How could you knock the chairman down like that and not sit down? I don’t understand.”
“I told you earlier. I needed a place to keep getting food.”
“That… Wasn’t a joke?”
“You’re joking. I did this because I wasn’t confident that I could farm and be self-sufficient in food. If I could always receive food for five people, I wouldn’t need a position like this.”
“Ha… You really are an unknown person.”
“Is there anything more important in this world than eating and making a living? And I don’t like a place like this. Being in a place like this changes people.”
“That’s… That’s right. The chairman wasn’t like this at first either.”
“Really? I don’t really believe that. Anyway… Let’s get started.”
The ears of the chairman, who is lying on the floor, are not blocked.
When I say let’s get started, an animal-like howl comes from my blocked mouth.
Won Jjasik… I haven’t even started yet, and it’s fucking up.
I walked up to the chairman and kicked his joint.
The chairman screaming in pain.
After all, there is nothing more effective than cracking a joint with combat boots.
