Chapter 881 – [Storm’s Parenting Diary]
I gathered the members of the Utopia organization.
The place is a shopping mall near our house. From the outside, it was just a business office, but in reality it was only used by people related to our house.
I think I’ve said it before, but here, of course, there are things like this, but also things that are in the dark… For example, there are things like an incinerator that burns human corpses without leaving a single bone fragment.
Anyway, I asked Albert about the situation there.
“Please explain”
“I have no face, Master.”
Dozens of masters bow their heads to me.
Even though they are talented people who will not disagree even if each of them is the head of a faction, it is not a matter of pride, but because of the momentum I exude.
I don’t know if it’s at the level of a transcendental master, but the momentum I exude when I think of Eden crying and being upset is such a spirit that even a transcendentalist would be nervous. Even more, if you are a simple peak master, it is fortunate that you are talking about it.
“Why did Eden let someone steal his bike?”
“……First of all, there are two reasons.”
“I won’t listen to your excuses”
After I gave him one final reprieve, Albert slowly began to explain the situation.
“First of all, we thoroughly guarded the lady. That’s why we neglected our guard against things other than the lady.”
At least Eden’s security was secured. If that was the case, there was room for extenuating circumstances.
Eden was playing in the park, but he wouldn’t be riding a bike, and he wouldn’t be tied up anywhere. I’d probably play with it in a corner. However, splitting the manpower to protect Eden into two and caring about the bicycles was rather a little bit of a threat to Eden’s safety.
“Second is?”
“……I didn’t think there would be anyone stealing something like a bicycle in Korea, where it’s illegal to own a firearm and where security is safe even if you leave your bag on the street.”
“Hmm”
To be honest, that was understandable.
Korea was a country with good security. Even if you leave your laptop at a cafe, it won’t go away, and if you leave a parcel in front of your house, someone won’t steal it.
If it was the case in the US, I would have cursed at the person who left it alone, not as a bastard.
But something like a bicycle is a little different.
It’s not like it’s called Eom Bok-dong’s country for nothing, there were very often people who took off the wheels or broke the locks and stole bicycles. In particular, they are the bastards who remain even in this era.
Normally, he wouldn’t have cared about it, but… Eden cried, so he had to pay for those tears with his life.
“Albert”
“Yes, Master”
“I’ll give you a day”
To be honest, asking the person who kept Eden to protect Eden’s stuff was a bit too much of an order. Although Eden cried because of that, it was still less valuable than Eden’s safety.
But that is it and this is this. They had to pay the price for hurting Eden’s feelings, even if they didn’t know about Eden’s safety.
It’s not just one bike. Even if it’s an incredibly expensive bike that costs hundreds of millions of dollars, the monetary value is meaningless.
Even if it was a 100,000 won bicycle bought in the neighborhood, I would have reacted the same.
“Make sure to find Eden’s stolen bike as well as the bike. Any means and methods are sufficient, so you just have to be on time. Can you do that much?”
“Yes!!!!! Of course, Master!!!!!!”
“Don’t let me down this time”
“Yes!!”
Stealing a bike may not be a big deal, but rather, the world is like this because of that perception.
No, stealing is bad no matter how small theft is, so you just let it go?
On the one hand, Eden is the bad side of this country. It is a country with no guns and boasts good security that does not take anything you leave on the street, but things like bicycles are stolen.
It’s only a problem that I found out about it too early… Anyway.
“How is Eden?”
“She’s still down, but she’s okay”
“Even if it’s stolen once, will it be better if the bike is returned?”
“Maybe it is.”
The fastest way to recover from someone stealing your valuables is to get them back.
Even if you buy a new one, it will be different from what you had originally. So, if possible, it was better to bring back what was stolen.
Even if someone has already stolen and sold it, it is enough to buy it at a higher price. However, since it hadn’t been that long since it had been stolen, it was unlikely that it would have been sold.
“Besides, since it’s made to order, there’s no brand mark, so you won’t feel like buying it easily.”
“That’s fortunate enough.”
The bicycle that Zion made to give to Eden was a four-legged children’s bicycle, but it is the only product purely custom-made, so it is the only one in the world.
Even the manufacturing company did not put a separate brand mark on it. It was because he was more afraid of Zion’s influence than promoting his own product.
However, in this case, the opponent buying the stolen property will hesitate. If it is a product of a famous brand, I will look for it and buy it according to the price, but I am not sure if it is a product that has no comparison target in the first place, so I do not buy it.
“I’m going to ask in advance that it’s confirmed, but what will you do if you find the culprit?”
“What do you think would be good?”
“It’s not good to answer a question with a question, but I’ll skip it this time…….Well, I’ll leave it to you.”
If it is me to prevent Eden from expressing excessive affection, then Zion is to prevent ethically overdoing it.
If it’s not something that touches Shion’s identity, I’ll refer to her at least once. That’s why, for me, Zion was no different from an externally attached conscience circuit.
However, the license to kill was dropped from such Zion.
She wants to know what permission and license to kill have to do with it, but she said that Shion doesn’t know about me, and if I beat him, she’ll definitely kill him, but she said she’d leave it to me.
Moreover, since Shion has an absolute influence on this earth…… He had the power to make it go away even if a few people went missing (death).
Are you thinking about how to kill your opponent?
Around that time, a few hours after I gave the order, Albert reported to me.
– Master, this is Albert.
“Okay, did you find the culprit?”
– Yes, I found it. But that’s…….
“Is there something wrong?”
-………The culprit is a minor.
“Huh”
I snorted and corrected a few things I had in mind.
Oh, by the way, is it a simple fix?
The basic route does not change. Never.
* * * *
The bicycle that Eden bought is an item that can be said to be the only one on this planet. If you say what that means……. If it is filmed on CCTV, you can never mistake it for another bike.
It is rather rare in the world these days that there are no CCTVs, and even more so in places like parks where a lot of children run and play. That’s why it’s used to monitor speeding vehicles in children’s zones.
“Albert brought all the relevant materials.”
“How are you going to handle it?”
“If the other person was an adult, this and that would be nabal, and they would have kidnapped and destroyed it.”
Adults seem to refer to people who have reached a certain age, but that is guaranteed to be the age at which they can take responsibility for what they have done nationally.
In the world these days, there are some guys who are adults in age but have a childish mindset even after they become adults, but they are still different from real children.
Kids often commit without thinking about the aftermath. It was the adult’s job to generously hand it over if it was a dizzying task. Of course, getting scolded is another thing.
I said I’m underage, so I’ll give you a chance. However, if you miss that opportunity, it will only harm you in the end.
“What are you going to do?”
“I’m going to go to the police first.”
“Well, I’ve got that on hold, so I’m sure there won’t be anything absurd or anything like that. Aside from this and that of the legal system.”
“I’ll go anyway”
I took the materials Albert had sent me and turned them in to the police station.
In fact, even cops these days don’t seem to be engrossed in bike theft cases. The only exception here was because of the value of Zion’s name.
It’s because Shion’s been acquainted with the police chief’s level. If you want to get ahead, it’s not for nothing that my neighborhood tells you to become a police chief.
No, I learned the face of the president in the first place, but is that a big deal?
“Oh, your bike was stolen, yes, I see. But you know that kind of thing is hard to catch, right?”
“Yes?”
Even though I deliberately went to the police station to file the case, the other person had a rough understanding of the case.
No, regardless of whether we are VIPs or not, if the people go there and file cases like this, it would be normal to at least treat them enthusiastically. Weren’t the police the cane of the people?
I am acquainted with this police station. Nevertheless, there must be a reason for doing it this way. To him, I sneakily asked the date of his appointment.
“Excuse me, how long have you been assigned here?”
“Yes? Why are you asking that?”
“No, I’m familiar with this side, but I’m seeing you there for the first time.”
“Ah, it’s been a week since I was assigned here.”
“……Yes, is that so?”
As soon as I heard the sound, I made a separate phone call and contacted the police chief. Normally, I wouldn’t act like this, but since Eden cried, everything is an exception.
As soon as I contacted him, the chief of police jumped out of the chief’s office and greeted me with a 90 degree bend in his waist.
“Ah!!!!! Boss Choi!!!!! Did you come!!!!!!”
“Yes, it’s been a while, Chief Jang”
The police officer, who had reacted casually to the sight of his best superior immediately coming out and bending over, hardened his complexion.
If it’s a staff of the people, you should do your best for the people’s request.
Even if this side of Seoga guarantees a career path thanks to Zion, it is only a story when you have done your best in your duty.
Even if we broke the law, if the other side abided by the law, we would respect it, but he couldn’t do any of that. No, what happens when the police don’t obey the law?
“Sir, chief?!?!”
I ignored the bewildered person and spoke to the chief of police.
“This side had no will to actively deal with the complaints I put in. I didn’t know who the path to success here depended on.”
“I’m really sorry, Chief Choi. It seems that I made a mistake not long after Police Officer Kim was appointed.”
“I purposely came here to file a complaint as the number 1 citizen, but seeing him ignore it like this is enough to know his character. Should I use a person like this as a police officer?”
“No, Mr. Choi.”
“I’ll talk to the chief about this separately.”
“Oh, Mr. Choi……!!!!!!”
The chief and the chief are different. No, the difference in rank was too great. Since he was appointed here, he could have become the commissioner someday, but that was not right now, but later.
After arguing with him for a while, I roughly compromised the situation and resolved it.
It was decided to send the person who was trying to deal roughly with police officer Kim to a remote area.
Honestly, even if it’s an administrative task, the moment I go home and tell Zion, it will be executed tomorrow. The advantages of this place were clear.
No, it’s better if you spend a few years hard and get ahead, but isn’t it a bit like wanting to succeed in a subject you can’t do that? I honestly don’t need a kid like that.
Anyway, I decided to leave him alone and talk to the chief separately. He bends over and asks me for a story.
“I’m really sorry, President Choi. But why did you come here…”
“Some bastard stole my daughter’s bicycle.”
“Ah!!!!!! If that’s the case, I’ll definitely find it!!!!!!”
“There’s no need for that. We’ve been looking for all the evidence and the culprit.”
“Then I’ll just have to arrest you.”
“But the perpetrator is a minor.”
“Ah, that’s… Turn it off.”
He let out a sigh.
What can’t be helped is that in this country, minors are so stupid that there is even a word called ‘chokbeop boy’. Even if you commit a crime, there are limits to punishment.
No matter how much convenience this side showed, if the legal system was like that, it would have been obvious without looking at the level of punishment.
“As for convenience, the later is enough. Well, that’s just in case.”
“If that’s the case…”
Worst worst.
As long as they avoid it, they can somehow survive. Because what he committed was a minor, he could have avoided death.
But if not…It was just making Eden pay the price to cry.
