Chapter 216 – 216. Frog in the Well 4
“Now! Tell me what you’re hiding!”
I broke the joint. The chairman screams with his mouth covered.
“What!? You don’t want to talk!? You’re a poisonous guy! Even like this!”
I woke up again. If you get hit again, it hurts so bad…
The chairman also screams. Has this guy ever felt pain like this? Probably not. Even before it went bankrupt, I was the type of guy who lived like a religious leader.
“Hey. You have a big mouth as expected! Let’s see who wins!”
“What on earth are you doing?”
The manager looks at me with a pitiful expression as he watches me crack the joint.
“What is it? I’m being interrogated.”
“You put tape on your mouth?”
“Ah… It’s not fun. I just wanted to hit you.”
I kicked the chairman’s shin once more. Sheesh. Manager, this guy has no sense of humor.
No… Has my sense of humor sucked?
I headed to a place where there were women with charm skills.
Knock
I knocked and opened the door.
The women’s eyes were filled with tears, as if they were crying inside.
“What? Did you cry?”
“No… What’s going on?”
90 points The woman quickly wipes away her tears and asks me. Somehow I feel like this woman is their representative?
“I need someone to charm the chairman.”
“If that’s the case, I’ll do it.”
A woman who answers quickly. Other women don’t seem to have any objection to what the 90-point woman said.
Hmm… Have you suffered as much as you are pretty?
“What’s your name?”
You can’t call it 90 points forever. You should at least know the name.
“Chaewon. Kang Chaewon.”
“Hmm. How old are you?”
“Twenty-five.”
“Okay, Chaewon. Come and help me.”
Meanwhile, I secretly charmed Chaewon.
It’s unlikely that this woman will do anything else in this situation, but she better make sure.
It’s easier to secretly charm than to be suspicious.
Chaewon and I come to the chairman’s office. When she looks at the chairman, her eyes are full of hatred.
Umm… I guess a lot has happened. Well, I don’t know what happened to the women who were charmed… It’s obvious.
Chaewon took a long stride and kicked the chairman in the face.
The chairman, who was hit in the face with a pointy high heel shoe, screams as if he is dying.
“Hey. Your feet will hurt even more. I’ll give you enough time to get revenge later, so why don’t you charm him first?”
“Yes, I understand. Fascination.”
I ripped off the tape on the chairman’s mouth.
The chairman is still groaning in pain.
“Oh. It’s noisy. Tell him to be quiet.”
“Be quiet.”
The chairman seems to still be in pain, but keeps his mouth shut. It’s convenient, but it’s annoying to have to go through it once.
Where is this though? I can hear everything I know without lying, but I have to endure this.
So what should I ask first? Anyway, everything in Dongsan has been resolved, so I don’t have any questions.
What I’m curious about is the connections this guy has.
“The guy who comes at 4pm. Tell me about him.”
“Ah… Tell me about Director Choi.”
What do you want? Does Chaewon know better? Ah… I said it was a dirty thing. Then I understand. You know it well because it’s our company.
“Director Choi is the director of a large hospital. He has charm skills. All I know is that he lives somewhere in Seoul. He said he has moved to his current residence. I have never been there. It has been a while since he joined the Royal Club, and he has charm skills like me. We became friends because of that…”
“Wait. Wait…”
Royal Club. Royal Club?
I took out a piece of paper from my backpack. Documents obtained from a business hotel safe while robbing Baekma Village.
That bastard who locked Anna up… The documents he had. I wrote down what Anna and Yujeong knew and gave it to them.
There was a word like that there too.
I took out the paper and looked at it. Director Choi. Director Choi… Hospital director. Kyeong-Hyeon Choi. Is it this guy?
“Is the director’s name Choi Kyeong-hyun?”
“Are you Choi Kyeong-hyun?”
“Yes. I think so. I always call myself Director Choi, so it’s not accurate, but…”
Okay… This is nice. A prey comes in like this on its own?
This is good. Wait a minute, so this guy is also on the list?
“What is the name of this chairman?”
“This is Park Sang-dong.”
Chaewon answers. Yes, he probably knows the name.
I look for Park Sang-dong in the list… Where… There isn’t any?
“Hey. Do you know it’s Baekma Village?”
“Do you know it’s Baekma Village?”
“Wait a minute, do I have to keep relaying this one by one? Tell me to answer my questions honestly.”
“Answer this person’s questions honestly.”
“Yes.”
“How old are you?”
“I’m forty-eight.”
“Right?”
“Ah… I don’t know exactly how old you are.”
“You ask his age.”
“How old are you?”
“I’m forty-eight.”
Will it work? Logically, I think it works.
Let’s just do it for now. That’s right.
“Do you know Baekma Village?”
“Yes, I know.”
“Tell me what you know.”
“I heard that there was an amazing foreign girl there. I wanted to see her, and she said she was so pretty. But at some point, President Choi stopped coming to the Royal Club. Rumor has it that she is dead.”
The amazing foreign woman must be talking about Anna, right?
Puck
I got a little upset and kicked the guy in the face.
Chaewon and the manager are surprised when I suddenly kick the chairman in the face.
“But why didn’t you go?”
“Ugh… I… I don’t go out carelessly. Furthermore, I don’t even enter other people’s territory.”
“That’s terrible. It looks like you’ve put your body in shame again?”
When I say something venomous, Chaewon nods her head next to me.
“Then how did you get to the Royal Club?”
“I took all my angels there…”
When the word angel came out, Chaewon kicked him in the face.
“You mean us.”
“Oh. Really? You can kick me one more time. But are your feet okay? Do you want to hit me with this?”
When I gave him the machete, Chaewon took it and stared at me blankly.
“Don’t kill him yet.”
Mate!
After listening to me, he takes a refreshing full swing towards my face.
Okay… The form is killer. It’s not easy to hit it like that with the edge of the blade. It does that.
“Aaaaahhh… Ahhh!”
“Ah. It’s noisy. Shut your mouth, and it hurts.”
The chairman was bleeding from the cheek as if his face had been cut by a blade.
I can’t even say I’m in pain, I just keep my mouth shut and make all the right facial expressions.
“Then do you know where it is?”
“Yes. I’ve been there.”
Chaewon speaks while returning the machete.
“Where?”
“Yeouido. A Korean restaurant in Yeouido.”
“They do it so damn well. Do they do it there every time?”
“Yes.”
“When will we do it again?”
“We do it once every six months. Next time is… June.”
“It’s a long way. Did you do it this month?”
“Yes. Early this month.”
“Ah… Really? It’s a shame. Anyway, it’s June? If the chairman dies and that bastard called the director dies today too… Will you sense the danger and stop the meeting?”
“Probably… Not like that. Neither the Chairman nor Director Choi were big figures in the group.”
“It’s like this, but they’re not big guys? How many great guys can come? Hey, Sangdong, tell me. If they’re big guys there, what kind of guys are they?”
“That’s… I don’t know exactly. It’s not like I joined the Royal Club. It was a secret meeting from the beginning, so I joined late and don’t know the exact information about people who are of a different level from me.”
“Ha. That’s crazy. Even in this situation, you say ‘someone else’? This guy is crazy too. Really.”
“I felt like they were this kind of people. Children of politicians and conglomerates… People who not only had money but also power…”
“Ha. That’s right. Those bastards wouldn’t have completely ruined the world because it turned out like this.”
I’ve been thinking about it for a long time.
No matter how many skills are developed, and the world is ruined, will all those who were originally well off be ruined?
Probably not. Even if many people are attacked or do something to them, it won’t change much for the top 0.1%.
Of course, there may have been many drastic changes as money did not function properly, but sincerely intelligent people would have made full use of what they had and returned their lives to their original state even in such a situation.
For them, it’s just a momentary happening.
Those who survive even in such situations and enjoy the original movie are the real elite.
Even if older people cannot quickly adapt to the changing world, their children will not.
A ruined world that starts with smartness, power, and solid infrastructure.
The starting line must have been different from someone like me. It would have been easy to test this and that.
“It’s absolutely useless. I don’t know if it’s the Royal Club or Nabal, but you know Castle, right?”
“Castle. You know.”
“Ah…”
“Hmm…”
Chaewon and the manager’s reactions are a bit strange. Ah. They said he was a guy who stayed here and then left, so do they know him?
“Tell me everything you know.”
“Castle… Park Seong-chae, the vice leader, is my angel…”
Chaewon, who didn’t have a machete, kicked him in the face again.
“Hey. Don’t be that angelic. Are you enjoying being beaten? Do you think you’re doing it on purpose?”
When Chae-won calms down her fuss, Chae-won says that she is speaking.
“Whew. That guy, Seongchae Park, tried to rape me but failed and got kicked out.”
“Oh my. Damn, it’s a bountiful harvest.”
“It’s over.”
“Huh? Is there anything else?”
“What are you curious about?”
“Um… When did it go out?”
“About three years ago?”
“What are his skills?”
“The standard for going out is transparency.”
“Hmm… Isn’t it fascination?”
“Yes. As far as I know.”
So did you film fascination after that? What… It doesn’t matter. Now that I’ve learned so much, there’s no way to stop me. Unless you really learn more skills than me and don’t use skills I don’t know.
“It’s called Castle because it’s a castle? Ha. That’s a really simple kid.”
“Ah… I see. I finally understand.”
Chaewon sighs and laughs. Hmm. After all, you’re pretty when you smile, right? If you smile, let’s say it’s about 92 points. This is pretty enough.
Of course, Seunghee, Mina, SeAh, and Anna all have 130 points. Of course, out of 100.
“Don’t you guys have any more questions about this guy?”
“Yes.”
“I don’t have one either.”
“Is there really anything you’re curious about, Manager? Hidden wealth or something… Oh, there’s no need for wealth. It’s meaningless anyway other than food.”
“Yes. Anyway, I am taking care of all the work. It has been a while since I took a break from practical work. If anyone interferes, I will do it.”
“Okay. Then let’s get rid of this guy. Chaewon?”
“Yes?”
“This man. Do you want to kill him yourself?”
Chaewon is unable to answer my question. After thinking for a moment, I answer.
“Yes, but other friends will want to do the same.”
“Okay. I’ll make sure to let you participate when I kill this guy, so just be patient. If I kill him now, I think I’ll regret it when I get curious.”
“I understand.”
“Okay. Then go and rest.”
“Yes.”
Chaewon looks at me and makes a wistful expression. Ah. Is there a charm attached? I wrote an annulment to Chaewon who was moving away.
Charm is convenient, but… If you’ve been seeing each other for a long time, it’s not a good idea to call often. Because people are broken.
After Chaewon left, the manager and I covered the chairman’s mouth and threw him into the bathroom bathtub inside the office.
“It’s not bad to starve to death.”
“Yes?”
“Ah. I’m just talking to myself. But manager. Can I still call you manager?”
“It doesn’t matter. Do whatever you want.”
“Let’s at least know the name.”
“This is Jeong Seon-gyun.”
“How old are you?”
“Thirty-eight.”
“Hmm… Why don’t you show me that you’re offended even though I keep speaking informally?”
“Well, isn’t it the law of jungle? I’m too weak to try to be respected just because I’m older.”
Hmm. It’s kind of cool, huh? This is the first time I have seen a man so clearly admit that he is weak.
When you say it like this, it doesn’t sound like you’re weak at all. Rather, it feels like a stagnant body hiding its power.
“Good. The manager is a wonderful person.”
“What do you think? Why are you suddenly so respectful?”
“It’s respect. Respect. The manager is not a weak person. I’m doing it because he deserves a repack.”
“Haha. That’s the most satisfying sound I’ve heard since the world fell apart.”
I look at the clock, and it’s still twelve o’clock. There’s still quite a bit of time left until three o’clock.
By the way, why don’t these women come here?
