Chapter 13 – Take Care of It. Don’t Kill Me.
“Are you the convenience store manager?”
The scorpion gangster who made eye contact with me showed his teeth and growled.
Hmm.
It’s been a long time since we heard the truth about gangsters.
In the early days when convenience stores were opened, there were a lot of gangsters going there. Things like telling me to pay rent and not doing business.
He disrupted the convenience store business in a very bazaar way.
The interference came to an end only after I personally went to the back alley headquarters and concluded peaceful(?) Negotiations to get things done properly.
At that time, the back alleys of the empire were full of handsome men who did not just talk but took action.
There was such romance back then.
It is said that all the pleasant men at that time were eliminated by order of the crown prince.
To put it in a good way, it was a romantic era, but it was a barbaric era.
‘I thought the truth about the gangsters would have been discovered.’
By the way, it’s a scorpion.
Scorpion?
I thought everyone there had died since the captain went to Gol a year and a half ago, but it seems there were some remnants left.
“I’m the store manager, what’s going on?”
He relaxed his shoulders in response to my question.
“Ha, you embarrassed them?”
Guys?
Who are they?
Just as I was thinking this, I saw a little boy sticking behind him like a leech.
Earlier, there was a leader of minors who knelt down and raised their hands while trying to buy alcohol.
“What. “Did you not reflect on yourself even after being scolded like that?”
“Bah, what is reflection! You arbitrarily put me on my knees and humiliated me! Even minors can buy alcohol.”
It seemed like that cocky little boy needed more reflection.
After looking at the child for a moment, I saw the scorpion gangster brought by the alley leader.
A scorpion tattoo under the eye, and numerous scars on the face and forearms.
Just by looking at it, I could tell that I had eaten a little bit of rice.
“This friend is a promising friend who will soon join our Scorpion, so I can’t just ignore him being ignored.”
“Just go back. I don’t think it’ll be good for us to cause trouble for each other.”
“I can’t just go back. Apologize to the child.”
“It’s impossible. “It is natural that convenience stores do not sell alcohol to minors.”
“This bastard wants to see you.”
Let the scorpion show his teeth and spit out a curse.,
“What on earth is this guy saying to my brother?”
Robinson, who had been listening quietly, rolled his eyes and took a step closer to the scorpion.
“What are you? “This guy who looks like a gisaeng brother.”
Ah.
It was disappointing that the back alley gangster didn’t know Robinson.
The truth about the gangster that has been revealed for the first time in a long time was that he was a newbie that even Robinson didn’t know about.
In fact, all the people who knew him were dead, or he didn’t even come to the convenience store.
“Tsk. Vinson, you say you don’t know?”
“I’m all dead too. Older brother. In the old days, everyone was transfixed when they heard Oscar’s Robinson.”
The scorpion’s face distorted as Robinson sighed.
“Roh, Robinson?”
“Oh, I think you know?”
The scorpion took a step back after hearing Robinson’s name.
He seemed to have guessed it after hearing the name.
“You are that Robinson? Damn it. Robinson said he was definitely subjugated and driven out to the countryside. You bastard. No matter where you hit it, you have to hit it to the extent possible.”
“Those unfounded rumors are still spreading.”
Robinson’s brow furrowed.
Ah, I think that touched Robinson’s pride.
Still, if you see that your fist doesn’t come out right away, you’ve held back a lot.
“Take care of it. Don’t kill them, but convenience store land prices are falling.”
“All right. “Brother.”
He was a guy who strictly protected his pride from the beginning.
Even if the opponent was stronger than him, he would fight without looking back the moment he touched him.
So, there was a time when we had a fierce fight.
What did I say?
‘Do you have gray hair?’
That’s right.
A strand of white hair among the blonde hair that I happened to see.
When he heard that, he turned around and punched me, and in an instant, he became my younger brother.
If nothing else, he was a man who was proud of his appearance and was firm about it.
If you find fault with his appearance, he will fall behind.
-I will treat you as my brother! Please accept it!
Since he was so annoying, I just brushed him off and told him to take care of it, and this is how our relationship ended up.
At that time, I briefly considered hiring a convenience store employee, but quickly gave up the idea.
Ah, it’s a memory, really.
Not long after, he settled down in the back alley and entered the lake.
Thinking like that.
It reminded me of the old days.
Those were the days when we were causing trouble with gangsters in the back alleys of the empire.
But the fleeting memory train.
“Wow!”
Boom!
I stopped when I heard the sound of a scorpion coughing as it fell forward after being hit in the solar plexus by Robinson.
“What, is it over already?”
“Yes. “Brother.”
“Off.”
It was just one move.
Robinson punched the charging scorpion in the solar plexus.
It was a blow so fast that it couldn’t even be seen.
“Big, boss?”
The minor captain could not hide his embarrassment when he saw the fallen scorpion.
For him, a promising future gangster, the defeat of his older brother, who is fighting well in active duty, must have been a shocking sight.
“Off… This shit…”
The scorpion glared at Robinson with red, bloodshot eyes.
Even if Scorpio gave his best from the beginning, he probably wouldn’t have been able to touch Robinson’s hair.
“Don’t leave it alone. This, dog cub…”
The scorpion staggered to his feet and took out a knife from his arms, glaring with bloodshot eyes.
“Until there.”
I kept an eye on the scorpion.
A fist fight can be viewed as cuteness.
However, I could not stand by and watch someone dare take out a weapon in a sacred convenience store.
Scorpion’s body trembled as he took out a knife from his arms and tried to aim at Robinson.
“If you move even one step further with that thing, it will make you scream for death. “Put that knife in.”
The jaws of the scorpion that made eye contact with me moved uncontrollably and made a clicking sound.
Only after I saw yellow liquid flowing out from under his feet.
“Ah.”
I realized too late that I had used too much force.
Everyone in the room looked like they didn’t know why the scorpion was making that expression.
Except for one person, Robinson.
“Ah.”
Robinson made eye contact with me and placed his hand on his forehead, biting his lip as if he had made a mistake.
At that time, the scorpion sat down and started rubbing its trembling hands.
“S-sorry. Sorry. Well, I won’t do that again. I won’t take out the knife. “I’m sorry.”
The scorpion sitting on his own urine asked for his forgiveness.
“It’s okay if you come to your senses. Wipe that off and get out.”
“Sorry. “I’m sorry.”
The scorpion who received the mop from me smelled like urine and chanted apologetic words until he had wiped away all the urine.
The little captain won’t know.
Why is his older brother like that?
However, he painfully felt that even the older brother he brought with him was someone he could never touch.
“Hey, kid.”
“Yes, yes!”
“You go and stand in front of the convenience store holding this panel.”
“Yes?”
I held out a panel that said, ‘We do not sell alcohol or cigarettes to teenagers born in 2004 or younger.’
“You should go out and promote it actively. “Our convenience store never sells this to minors.”
He hesitated, and it looked like he didn’t want to do it.
“Do you want to be like your brother?”
When I pointed to the scorpion that peed his pants, he desperately shook his head.
“Quickly go out and shout.”
“Oh, I understand!”
The little captain who went outside.
“We do not sell alcohol or cigarettes to minors!”
He shouted desperately while holding the panel up.
Good job.
Robinson, who was looking at me, bowed his head to me.
“Sorry. Brother, I should have taken care of it myself…”
“Good job. “I can’t even see it.”
“Compared to my brother, I am far short of it.”
“Anyway, thanks to you, I passed it easily.”
It would have been troublesome if I came forward and rumors started to spread that I was a ‘violent convenience store manager.’
Convenience stores also need to have a good image among nearby customers.
“If you came forward yourself, wouldn’t that guy have already gone to the other world?”
“So… “Why not?”
I am not confident.
It’s been a long time since I fought with such a weak friend.
“Hey.”
“Yes, yes? Yes?”
I asked as I looked at the scorpion, who had wiped away every trace of urine that had spilled on the floor.
“Are you really from Scorpion?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Captain Scorpion, I thought it was all sorted out after searching a few years ago, wasn’t it?”
“Well, the person who was said to be Scorpion’s right-hand man at the time founded a new company. I went in there.”
“Really?”
Who was Scorpion’s right-hand man?
It’s so vague.
“If that’s true, it’s probably someone I know.”
“Really?”
“We met once before for work.”
“Check it out. If they barge in here just to get revenge, it’ll be a pain in the ass.”
“I understand.”
“Well, I don’t plan on doing that!”
The scorpion waved his hands and shouted, but his voice did not reach us.
I’m in a position where I can’t just ignore the fact that an organization I don’t know about has formed in a back alley.
“Oh, a scorpion.”
“Yes?”
“How senior are you there?”
“Well, it’s almost the end. Scouting kids…”
It’s the end.
He looks like a complete action leader, but he’s the worst.
Isn’t there a saying that you shouldn’t judge based on appearance alone?
But one thing could be inferred from the answer.
That organization called Scorpion may be bigger than you think.
“We will contact you as soon as the investigation is completed.”
“Don’t come directly, but relay it through a new person here. “You’re busy with the lake, too.”
“I understand.”
The skinhead, Shinshin, who had seen everything that had just happened, shouted loudly.
“Please take care of me! “Brother!”
“You call me store manager.”
“All right! Manager!”
The head of the skinhead who bowed to me sparkled under the light of the fluorescent lamp.
“Now, I want all the rude customers to leave. “If there are so many impressionist figures, customers won’t come in.”
“Yes, brother. Hey there. Scorpion. You follow me “Give me the knife.”
Scorpion, who was tightly held by Robinson, lost his weapons and was dragged by the skinhead.
“There kid.”
“Yes?”
“You follow along too. From now on, hold up that panel and promote it to the surrounding kids.”
“Oh, I understand!”
The guy then ran away.
Ah, it’s finally quieter now.
“Anyway, a new organization has been created.”
While I stopped paying attention, it seemed like a tectonic shift was about to occur there.
This would have been difficult.
‘If the size of the newly created organizations is small, they should be managed as is. If they are larger than necessary…’
I have to kill them all.
