Episode 169
“What?! “Is the manor okay?”
“Eh… Yes…”
Duakchil was also in an unbelievable situation.
The request was made to Salgak rather than anywhere else.
They even gave a huge amount of money to resolve the matter as quickly as possible, so they must have moved quickly even when it was time to kill.
However, the manor was fine and there were still people inside.
How am I supposed to explain this?
“Could it be that the assassins didn’t move?”
“That… That…”
“That? what!”
“It’s gone.”
” what’?”
Chu Wen-won looked at Duak Chil with a dumbfounded expression.
I received a request from Salgak, not just any other idiot, but he disappeared?
I didn’t know if he was telling me to believe it or if he was joking to make me laugh.
“I really disappeared. “The business house where they were based was blown away without a trace, and there was not even a sign of anyone nearby.”
“Huh…”
“And…”
“What’?”
“Open and Haomen have refused to provide any more information about Hunandanjia.”
“her!?”
“The same goes for Ronin.”
Chu Wen-won was so dumbfounded that he laughed.
Opening and Hao Wen refused to sell information.
Who are the people who give the most kickbacks to opening up this business?
It was a scandal.
That’s why they were able to make a living without having to beg like other branch members.
‘But these damn bastards dare to betray? And even Hao Mun, who can’t do anything about money?’
Even so, if these two places refused to receive information, there must be a good reason.
What is it?
“Is this the work of Honam Danga?”
“I can’t say for sure, but…”
“It’s strange that his attitude changed so suddenly… I feel uncomfortable.”
Chu Mun-won opened his eyes with a sigh.
They say it doesn’t matter in other places, but what bothers me most is that the fleshy skin has disappeared.
“What about Honam Sangdanju?”
“We are already in contact with the Jinhwan Company.”
“Tell him to give it a try. “Do whatever you want… I’ll provide support here, so don’t worry.”
“All right.”
Duakchil bowed his head and went outside.
Chu Mun-won, who had been looking at that scene for a long time, clicked his tongue.
“He seems like a useless guy…”
Duakchil had been working for this scandalous family for a very long time.
However, seeing that he was not able to handle even one of these things clearly, it seemed that his abilities were already reaching their limit.
‘I have to deal with it soon.’
I clicked my tongue again and turned my head.
“What do you think?”
-Are you asking me?
“Aren’t you the only one?”
-Hong… I’ve never thought deeply about what you guys do.
“Still, since I’m funding it, shouldn’t I give some help?
-I’m doing my job.
“Hmm… I see. But soon you may have to make the move yourself.”
The man who did not know where he was did not respond to Chu Mun-won’s words. But that alone was enough for the scandal. Just being able to motivate someone who hasn’t even been able to earn a living is worth the money.
I clicked my tongue again and buried myself in the chair.
“What kind of guy is this? If he had any ideas, he wouldn’t have picked a fight with the Chumun family…”
The name Honam Danga was a problem in his mind.
* * *
The Jin and Silver Crane, the top lord of the Golden Ring Sangdan, could not easily calm his heart. I don’t think there’s ever been a day in my life where my heart has been pounding like today, except when I met Dan Woo-hyeon again.
“Cuck!”
I raised my head at the sound of coughing.
There is a fat man in front of me.
It would be more accurate to say that his heavy body was fat rather than sturdy, and perhaps because of the house he lived in, his jaw line was not visible, and his eyes were very thin, buried in the flesh.
The name of this person, who does not appear to be in very good condition at first glance, is Makchung Heon.
He was the owner of the Honam merchants and the one who controlled the Honam commercial district.
‘Calm down, Geum-Eun-Hak! ‘Now you are not what you used to be.’
The gold and silver crane controlled his breathing several times.
Still, I can’t help but feel nervous. At one time, Mak Chung-heon was a person in a high position that Geum Eun-hak could not even reach.
“For what reason did the Lord of the Sangsan
come all the way to this place?”
“Huh! “It’s been a while.”
Mak Chung-heon looked down at the gold and silver crane with an arrogant gaze.
At one time, he was no better than an insect, so no matter how much he grew up selling alcohol, his perspective would not easily change.
“Hahaha, I see… It feels like I haven’t seen you in about 20 years.”
Geum Eunhak laughed quietly, thinking about the past.
There was a time when I really had no money and went to the upper part of the Honam region to get some work.
Geum Eun-hak sat on his knees in front of the gate for three days, thinking of his family members who must have been starving even though they had been barred.
I remember it was a very cold winter day.
Although Geum and Eun Crane almost froze to death, Mak Chung-heon praised his spirit and gave him several tasks. It was a chore worth a few pennies at most, but it was worth a thousand gold to the gold and silver crane at the time.
However, even thinking about it now, I feel angry that most of my family members were taken to Mak Chung-heon’s house and served as slaves for a while.
“I see… The guy who was dying due to lack of work has now become a dragon.”
“A dragon? “We haven’t even reached the tip of the upper capital yet.”
“ha ha ha! Isn’t that obvious! “There’s no way someone like you could catch up with me.”
Mak Chung-heon burst into laughter and laughter.
In his view, Geum Eun-hak was never a person who could rise to the top. He was a human being who deserved to look up from below, admire, crawl on the ground, and dig up dirt to eat.
Geum Eun-hak clenched his fists at that contemptuous gaze.
“So, from what I heard, they sell the Hoyeon family’s alcohol?”
“Yes, somehow it ended up like that.”
“Hmm… The Hoyeon family’s liquor is also quite good. It’s not as good as the scandalous liquor, though. ha ha ha!”
“Is that so? “It seems like our alcohol is sold more expensively in restaurants and bars these days.”
“what? “Are you talking back to me right now?”
“no. “I’m just saying this because I’m proud of the alcohol I sell.”
Mak Chung-heon looked at the golden crane with a disapproving expression.
Lately, I’ve been wondering if doing well in business means anything.
This is why it is said that sloppy merchants cannot tell the difference between the front and the back.
He chuckled, sneered, and snapped his fingers.
Then one of the guards standing behind placed a large sack on the table.
“I’ll sell it.”
“yes?”
“Please hand over to me the distribution rights for the alcohol produced by the Hoyeon family. “If you can, call that girl too.”
Geum Eun-hak was speechless at the extremely arrogant words. It was as if he believed that the gold and silver crane would definitely sell.
I frowned and opened the bag. It contained fifty gold coins.
“It’s impossible.”
” what?”
“This money is not even one-tenth of the cost of alcohol. Moreover, it is up to the owner of our upper level to decide, not me.”
“master?”
Mak Chung-heon frowned even more.
I definitely heard that there was a Honam Danga or something behind this guy.
They say that people you’ve never heard of are appearing and invading Honam.
It was so absurd that I burst out laughing.
“Are you ignoring me now? Then I can’t die in my name.”
“What are you saying? “I will take care of it and enjoy heavenly life, so you don’t have to worry.”
Geum Eun-hak was not sure if he could not understand what was being said, or if he knew but was just pretending not to notice, Geum Eun-hak responded without changing his complexion.
Mak Chung-heon thought it was the latter. No matter how stupid he is, he wouldn’t think a threat like this was just a joke.
“Do you think you can live comfortably in Honam even if you go against your will? What do you believe in? Honam unit price? “Isn’t it too foolish to entrust your life to such a trivial place?”
“You can say anything else, but… it would be better not to talk about that place carelessly.”
” what?”
“I really won’t be able to live up to my name.” Mak Chung-heon’s expression hardened at those words.
Even his face turned red, as if he had been insulted. When Mak Chung-
heon
slammed the table and stood up, the tightly closed door opened and a group of people came in.
“It was a little noisy. “Were there any guests?”
The one who came inside was Dan Woo-hyeon.
Behind him, Sadohak and Namgungcheon were seen wearing masks. As they looked around, Mak Chungheon’s guards flinched and trembled.
“Are you here? “This person here is Mak Chung-heon Sang Danju, the owner of the Honam Sangdan.”
“Right.”
Mak Chung-heon frowned as he looked at this person who suddenly appeared. Judging by Geum-eun-hak’s actions, it seemed that the author was the head of the Honam Danga family.
Mak Chung-heon glared at him with a very red face.
“Are you the head of the Honam Danga family?”
“Is that so?”
“Hand over the Hoyeon family’s liquor.”
Dan Woohyun smiled at those words.
Without making any response, he walked over to the table and sat across from me. He opened the phone on the table, looked at it, put it down again, and then opened his mouth.
“I also have a suggestion.”
“If there are any conditions, let me know. “If there is anything I can listen to, I will listen to it.”
Mak Chung-heon said with a sneer.
I had no intention of listening in the first place. As soon as they get what they want, they plan to wipe it all out.
Honam Sangdan had that much power. Dan Woo-hyeon took out the wallet from his pocket and threw it on the table.
With a jingle, the hermits poured out.
“Sell everything.”
“What… what?!”
“I will buy everything you own with that money.”
“Have you seen this crazy guy!”
Mak Chung-heon suddenly stood up.
The money that was poured out on the table was at most 20 pieces of silver.
Are you going to sell all of Honam Sangdan with that?
What nonsense does this sound like?
“It would be better to sell it for at least that. There won’t be a chance next time…”
“You bastard!” “I will definitely come to my senses only after tasting bitterness
!”
Snap clap clap clap!
Mak Chungheon’s guards drew their swords.
However, as soon as they were drawn, their blades broke in two and fell to the ground.
None of them realized what had happened.
The only thing that changed was that a one-armed old man wearing a mask was suddenly holding a sword in his hand.
The faces of Mak Chung-heon and the guards became contemplative.
At that time, Dan Woo-hyeon twirled one of the hermits with his finger and said.
“They are not even capable of
becoming a hermit.”
His laughter rang low.
