Episode 32 Social Club (1)
A large high-rise hotel in the center of Underdog City.
There is a large club on the 69th and 70th floors.
‘Burning suspension’
A top-notch social club where the best people in Underdog City gather.
Rich and powerful young people gather here to burn their youth.
Super-expensive champagne, priced at 100 million gold per bottle, was brought in one after another, and upbeat music at a fast tempo was playing every day.
Hookahs of an unknown type create thick clouds of smoke, and colorful lighting colors them.
The atmosphere was luxurious and extravagant enough to say go away from the court ball held in the imperial family.
“Come on! Stack up!”
“Bring them all!”
“Let’s raise the tower once again today!”
A room nestled in the deepest part of the club.
In this room, where only VVIPs with a 6-hour fee of 10 million gold were allowed to enter, seven young boys were hanging out together.
Champagne worth more than 100 million gold per bottle is brought in a row while marinated in ice.
In the center of the large table, champagne glasses were piled high in a pyramid shape.
At the bottom, 100 glasses form an even square shape in the form of 10*10.
On top of it, 81 champagne glasses in the shape of 9*9 go up.
On top of it are 64 champagne glasses in the shape of 8×8.
49 on it, 36 on it, 25 on it, 16 on it, 9 on it, 4 on it…
With the last champagne glass on top, the pyramid-shaped champagne tower was completed.
The seven young boys gathered here laugh and pour 100 million gold champagne ‘Don Quixote Perignon 666’ from the bottle into the top champagne glass.
yet. The champagne that filled the top glass began to drip into the lower glasses
,
gradually filling them up.
When the bottle of champagne was empty on the way, the young masters mercilessly threw it away and ordered a new drink.
yet.
The champagne filled from the top glass gradually flows down and fills the glasses below.
Thus, all 385 glasses that make up the champagne tower are full.
A young master said with a smile.
“Hey, drink what you spill on the table.”
Then the waiters standing at the entrance of the room rushed over.
“Oh, thank you, brothers.”
“Thanks to the older brothers, I tasted such precious alcohol and got really good.”
“I will serve you with all my soul today.”
The waiters smile and lick the champagne drops on the table.
The youngsters giggled and scattered gold coins in their faces.
“This is the dripping water effect.”
Champagne that drips down from the top and not enough to fill the glasses below, soaking the table, and seven men laughing while watching it.
These youngsters were the core members of the Youth Autonomous Committee of Hyangcheong.
Although it is only a private organization composed of the second or third generation of local emirs, their influence in the local community cannot be ignored.
He had a lot of money and enough money and power to handle some low-level public affairs, but it was enough to reign over ordinary citizens as long as he was an aristocrat.
Since they were families who had lived in this region for a long time, they were also bright about examining the situation around them.
That’s why the Baskervilles also gave them some power and gave them the authority to take care of troublesome things on their own.
They, too, line up with the Baskervilles, inform them of the surrounding geography and public sentiment, and exercise a little autonomy in exchange for paying tribute and taxes.
……In fact, from a historical point of view, the brethren gathered here are all descendants of obsolete families who were defeated and relegated in the central power struggle of the empire.
It means that everyone except for the Baskervilles, who received a special order from the emperor and came to expand the borders, are of no interest.
But the young people gathered here didn’t seem to think so.
“It’s better to be the head of a snake than the tail of a dragon.”
“Rather, it’s better to play here, where the eyes of the imperial family are out of reach, right?”
“That’s right. I’ve been to a club in the imperial capital the other day, and it’s much more luxurious here.”
“Besides, ‘those Baskervilles’ are protecting this place. How safe is it?”
“Gick giggle- At this point, isn’t the Baskerville our hound?”
Young masters who don’t know much about the world were too weak even if they didn’t have iron.
While the Baskervilles were concentrating on expanding their borders, they were rotting thickly inside.
Then, where does the financial power to play so extravagantly and dissolutely come from?
The main source of income for local tax collectors is in fact insignificant.
At most, the water tax for irrigating the farmland, the road tax, the toll tax, the price of selling livestock… Even if it was an expenditure, it was a small fee to be distributed to the butler or the peasants.
Both the money going out and the money coming in are small, but in fact, they had a hidden source of income.
illegal slave trade.
Those who are not permitted by the state are kidnapped, imprisoned, and then sold into slavery.
As the number of barbarian people who lost their village due to the recent active pioneering of the territory by the Baskervilles is increasing, human trafficking, which secretly tricks them into seduction or kidnaps them and sells them by force, was rampant.
In a word, it is free riding on the business of the Baskervilles and eating the crumbs.
Since no tax is paid and the transaction volume is steady, money naturally accumulates.
The young masters are playing with the black money they earn by burning their youth like this.
I can’t put it in the bank because it’s illegally earned money anyway, so I burn it all with a cash crash.
“The champagne tower is full! Go and let the kids in! Bring in the sleepy ones.”
The young masters let the waiters out for a while.
And we started whispering among ourselves.
“Anyway, it’s really nice that a straight family like Messinadnaro is gone.
“Actually, that’s natural. They say we play with our own money.”
“It’s good that you framed it and sent it away, right?”
“Let’s not include such guys as members from now on.”
They smoked bubbling hookahs and wore languid faces.
One of them suddenly raised his head.
“Oh, by the way, did you guys hear about the new deputy consul?”
“Uh, I still put in an interview request. I heard it’s Ban’s last name.”
“Hmm. Is it chakjeong? If it’s half, it means that it’s a collateral or illegitimate child.”
“You should know that it is an honor to be called by us.”
“Kuh-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-h-hhhhhhhhhhhh I’m going to come running again.”
They have always done what is called ‘training the junior bureaucrats’ when new sub-consuls arrive.
It’s nothing special, it’s just an extravagant party that turns your eyes away and makes you lose your mind.
And it meant putting the dog on a leash with the feeling of ‘If you want to follow us in the future, you have to listen to us carefully’.
The youngsters giggled.
“They say her name is Bikir. Have you ever heard of it?”
“I don’t know. I’ve never heard of it.”
“Since I was 15. This is the first time I’ve come out of the family.”
“What? You’re such a kid?”
“You’re right. I heard you started drinking heavily as soon as you first came to City Hall?
“Hehehehehehehehehe will fit in well with us then.”
At that time, one of the youngsters suddenly came up with an interesting idea.
“Would you like to tease us while also overpowering us?”
He stretched out his index finger and explained the plan.
“Let’s have a big party later and call him. Let’s have some real top-notch alcohol and all the girls and have a good time.”
“and?”
“Then later, after the party, ask him to pay for the drinks.”
At those words, the youngsters burst into laughter.
“Okay, that’s going to be fun.”
“Isn’t it that your eyes pop out when you see Bilge?”
“You have to know that the older brothers spend a lot of money and entertain. If you go later, you take it for granted.”
“Where can a 15-year-old public servant find money?
“And later you can say it was a joke and pay me.”
At that time,
the youngsters will decide how to make fun of the newly appointed deputy consul and how to boil it .
“Guys! The girls are here!”
The waiter opened the door and came in with a smile on his face.
Before long, countless women peer into the club room and are amazed at its extravagance.
There must have been some familiar faces among them, and the young masters waved happily.
“Hey, are you here again?”
“Even if you suffer like that?”
“Let him go. We’re so full of energy.”
“Why? I like her because she’s pretty.”
“Hey! Come and sit here this time!”
The women entered the room one by one.
……however?
A strange thing got stuck at the end of the girls coming in.
Were you just in your early teens? A very young-looking boy.
The form following the women into the room from the back was so natural that the waiters didn’t bother them.
The seven young masters finally found the boy after looking at the women and making bad jokes.
“But what is he? Did you call the male waitress too?
“Yes? Oh, don’t you know someone?”
“You don’t know?”
Then the young ladies, the waiters, and the women all look blank.
What is this little boy who has followed me all the way here?
One of the waiters touched his forehead.
“You came in so proudly that no one thought it was strange. You bastard shack! How dare a young fellow…!”
But he couldn’t reach out his hand to grab the boy’s hair.
Whoop-
The sound of something thick and hard breaking.
The waiter only then noticed that his wrist was turning in a strange direction.
“Ugh!?”
The boy broke the adult man’s thick forearm with only his grip.
“What is this guy!”
Three or four waiters attacked at once, but it took less than a second for all of them to fall to the floor.
The faces of the youngsters hardened slightly.
“What is this kid? Hey, what are you doing here? Do you know who the older brothers are?”
“know.”
There is no emotion in the boy’s voice.
“They’re hometown idiots.”
Respect, fear, servility, and, at least, complete indifference, devoid of even contempt.
At those words, the youngsters were dazed for a moment.
Then they laugh loudly once.
“That’s right. If you’re a local idiot, we’re right.”
“Looks like they know who we are.”
“Then we just need to know who he is.”
“Little boy. Who are you?”
The youngsters were splitting their heads as if this situation had been interesting for the first time in a while.
However,
the boy’s words wiped their smiles off their faces.
”
Bikir .”
I came to this place.
The young masters slowly lowered their feet from the table.
Then, hesitantly, he asked,
“Deputy… Archon? What’s going on here…”
“You guys called.”
At Bikir’s words, the youngsters put on one more dazed expression.
Then.
“Wahhahahaha- This is hot, Vice Consul! I thought you would come right away like this!”
The atmosphere wasn’t very good.
Moreover, the young masters who had been insulted just a while ago were in a state of scarring their pride.
“Shall we start training new recruits right away?”
“Yes. Why don’t you pay for the drink?”
“Once you boil it well, sit down, and ask them to pay for the drink later at the end of the party…?”
But, their cute plan didn’t come true.
…Tak
! Kir put his hand on the table,
and then
…
the Baskerville family’s unique black and red aura slowly emanated
from it. It went out.
The ferocious resonance, the violent vibration,
bubbly bubbly…
The champagne in the glasses on the table suddenly started to boil.
Eventually,
the large champagne tower in the center changed. .

“…we tried to pay for the drinks.”
