Dark Organization (4)
Since the Ronins were chased by the three major gangs anyway, they had nothing to hide.
“The most powerful one is the Desperado organization…
After explaining the power map for about 10 minutes, he even revealed the number of members and the name of the leader.
Eden said.
“The leaders are wanted in real life. But how do we not run out of food while fighting a war every day? “It wouldn’t be possible to handle it with the bodies of the deceased.”
“I don’t know that far. “It seemed like they were getting their food from somewhere.”
The leader pointed to the sea.
“The area around here is all trash, and the pollutants have spread, so all you can get is rotten fish. The distant sea doesn’t even exist. But strangely, there are sometimes large ships anchored there. It seemed like they were getting supplies from there. In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that the gang war is for control of this place.”
“Ship?”
Since the outer track was separated into spaces, there was no need for transportation wherever you went.
‘Dark organization. As expected… someone here is in contact with the administrator.’
The leader continued.
“In fact, food is incidental and what we really provide is weapons. “They call it a machine gun.”
“Machine gun?”
“yes. This is really strange, but the sound is really loud. All you have to do is pull the trigger…
Seeing him making the sound with his mouth, Shirone thought of High Gear.
‘It’s a firearm.’
An object that does not reach the essence of magic but can kill a person without any effort.
Even feelings of guilt become weaker.
‘As things change, the philosophy of the times also changes. It’s a perfect fit for Melkidu.’
Nade asked.
“I roughly understand the situation. But why are you guys so treacherous?”
“I was successful once too. Before I got robbed at the gambling house. I came in to avoid security, but if you don’t join a gang, it’s just food. So I had no choice but to sign up. So, I signed up…
“I did it?”
“I was so scared that I ran away.” “Those guys are not people. If there is a mistake, just pull it out. At first I joined Desperado, but it was so brutal that I moved to Red Union. But it was also a den of crazy people. So I went to Johan Cartel… and
the leader’s face turned pale.
“It’s just… hell. All three major gangs are hell. Do you understand? It’s not that I betrayed you, it’s that I ran away. If you move to another organization, that organization will protect you, but now you have nowhere to turn. “That’s why I live here.”
“Is that even more pathetic?”
“haha!”
He suddenly straightened his shoulders, perhaps remembering the days when he was a powerful member of the gang.
“If you see for yourself, you will know why I had to run away. I’m warning you, those guys…
The leader showed his face to Nade.
“They are really bad guys.”
Nade slapped me when I focused my eyes as if I were that bad guy.
“ouch! “Why are you hitting me?”
“You’re laughing. What are you guys different from? “Just a little while ago, they were trying to commit robbery.”
Nade got up and left.
“What do you want to do? Shall we talk about Desperado first? “They say it’s the biggest gang.”
Eden said.
“That’s good, but you don’t know where Mr. Pena is. Let’s go in and see the situation.”
“but.”
Nade said to the Ronin.
“You guys just leave. Don’t do anything bad in the future. “Just roll the dice and go.”
“excuse me??????
The leader approached, kneeling.
“I have a great idea. Would you like to form a gang? “I will treat you as my older brother.”
The power of the machine gun was great, but it was nothing compared to magic that manipulates electricity.
‘If you use these guys, it won’t be a problem to take control of all three major gangs. Then me too…
Nade crushed his hopes.
“it’s okay. “We’ll take care of it.”
“Don’t do that, just listen to my story. If you use my knowledge of the three major gangs…
“I’m warning you.”
Nade interrupted.
“Never be in my sight again. We’re a little busy, so I’m just sending it to you. “Go quickly.”
Since he was the one who would have to dig through the trash anyway, the leader decided to bet here.
“It’s not good to be like this. Because we have nothing to lose. Can you handle it? From now on, I will attack you with all sorts of schemes and tricks…
“Can’t you get out of here quickly?”
Electricity came into Nade’s eyes.
“Aaaah!”
The Ronin who screamed simultaneously twisted their bodies and ran towards the white sand beach.
Nade said with his eyes relaxed.
“I learned only the bad things from things that don’t make sense. “You have to threaten someone who will work.”
Nade Iruki Eden was also one of the strong ones, but Shirone was the strongest magician in mankind.
“it’s okay. let’s hurry. “Because I’m hungry.”
While Iruki took the lead, Eden, who was following behind, added a word.
“I won’t eat meat.”
As I passed through the garbage pile and entered the island’s interior, I was greeted by the ugly sight of the city.
Every building had bullet marks, and some were left half-collapsed.
While the main streets were occupied by armed forces, vagrants were crouching in the alleys.
“I guess each gang has its own area to manage. “You can see the Red Union emblem in common.”
“I know. There are some who have two or three engraved on them. “It seems like there are a lot of people like the ronin people I mentioned earlier.”
“How about over there?”
My friends agreed when I pointed to the sign that was flashing neon signs during the day.
“Because a bar is like a public facility for gangs. “I wish they could sell food.”
“You can’t use points here. They say you have to provide items or equivalent labor.”
“Let’s go first. “You might be able to trade it for a cheap item.”
As I opened the door to the bar and entered, the topless gangster turned his head at the same time.
“What is that?”
The fact that it was my first time seeing him in Korcoras and that he was young took my guard away.
‘It’s my turn to step forward.’ This time, a new member of the Red Union aimed a machine gun at the group.
“Hey, what are you guys doing? Where do you belong?”
“I have something to ask you.”
As Shirone spoke bluntly, the newcomer raised the corner of his mouth evilly.
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. Ask me anything. “But the price will be a bit expensive.”
He looked back at Eden.
“Okay, the price I want is…
“Whew.”
Just as Neid was about to step forward, thinking that dialogue was not enough to resolve the issue, he heard a voice from the second floor.
“stop.”
The Red Union’s action leader was looking down the hall with a disgruntled expression.
“Oh brother. “Are you here?”
The newbie greeted him politely, but the action leader’s eyes were rather murderous.
“Brother, why…
“That’s enough. Bring it this way. “Come up.”
As Shirone and his group climbed the stairs and entered the room, the newcomer returned with his head tilted.
“Why is your brother angry? evil!” A senior who was waiting got hit on the back of the head.
“Senior, why are you doing this?”
“Shut up and sit down and have a drink. “You have just had the best luck of your life.”
The newbie asked, touching the back of his head.
“Do you know someone?”
“I don’t know. It’s my first time seeing this face. But don’t you need to know that if you touch it, you’ll be screwed?”
“They just seem like gentle kids.”
“Don’t look at the face, look at the eyes. People like us will do anything to make a living. There is nothing unpleasant or dirty. Do you know what eyes are called?”
“well. Gang?”
“The eyes of the beast.”
The senior drank the strong drink in one go.
“He has eyes that are cloudy but sad, cold but frustrating. But they are different. Those are the eyes of those who protected them until the end. “It’s not that they give up because it sucks, but they overcome it and rise above it.” The senior smiled bitterly.
“Wild dogs like us have to be careful with eyes like that. “Even if there is nothing to be afraid of in the world, you should be afraid of the world itself, idiot.”
The newcomer turned his head.
“What does that mean?”
The senior just kept his mouth shut and filled his empty glass with alcohol.
“Forgive my rudeness.”
In a special room on the second floor, the Red Union’s action leader poured drinks for Sirone and his group.
“It’s the best liquor in the store.”
“Is there someone named Pena? “Have you ever had a woman join recently?”
“Are you a police officer?”
When Sirone and his group fell silent, he continued.
“I did not join the Red Union. Also, according to my information network, no women have recently joined any of the three major gangs. “I wonder if I lied about my gender.”
“Hmm, it looks like he’s not in the gang.” The action leader said.
“I will prepare dinner. The captain will come, so let’s meet him and go. “I will serve you properly.”
There was no time for that.
“That’s enough. There’s one more thing I’d like to ask. “About the buyout program.”
The action leader smiled.
“I don’t have anything to say about that. “Let’s talk to the captain.”
That would have been a good idea, but I was more worried about Pena’s safety than anything else.
‘Not being in a gang means being on the streets. If he had been hiding for three days already…
Sirone stood up.
“I will go back today. “I’ll come back again.”
The action leader, who knew there was no way to stop them, bowed.
“Please be sure to stop by. And I ask you one thing: do not think of joining hands with any other organization.”
He raised his head.
“I know you are strong. But the fire moth chooses fire over life.”
It meant fighting to the death.
“I’ll think about it.”
Sirone’s group, not even listening, left the unpleasant drink and left the room.
The action leader raised his upper body and lit a cigarette.
“shit.”
A religious message passed down to Korcoras from a long time ago came to mind.
“Why now?”
Sirone and his group walked down the street.
“What happened to Mr. Pena? You didn’t come in the first place? “I’m scared.”
There was no possibility at all.
“This is not the time to jump to conclusions. “If you’re not in a gang, you’re looking for vagrants…”
“You guys!”
The hooded person hugged Sirone’s arm.
“Ahh! It’s a surprise!”
Shirone was barely able to frown at the terrible stench when he saw the face inside the hood.
“Mr. Pena?”
Pena’s face turned into a tearful expression.
“Huh, why are you so late? “I thought I was scared to death.”
“…are you okay?”
He must have been hiding in a pile of trash, so not only did he smell bad, but his entire body was covered in grime.
“Do you look okay! I haven’t eaten anything for 3 days. “I just said my menstrual symptoms were on my clothes.”
Nade asked absurdly.
“Why did you do that? “I have to go to the bathroom.”
“And what if you get caught? In times like this, it’s best to do nothing. Anyway, if you don’t come, you’re going to die anyway. “I couldn’t move anything except my fingers and toes.” Although it is the survival method of the weakest in nature, being able to execute it is also a sign of strength.
“thank you for your effort. “Let’s go now.”
“I’m really sad. I need to buy you something delicious. Because I heard a lot of advanced information. huh? “Can I order something expensive?”
Nade said.
“Shouldn’t you wash up before that? “It seems like I’ve lost an appetite that I never had before.”
“There’s nothing you can’t say to a lady.”
As Pena took off his outer garment, Nade, covered in a cloak, floundered around like a ghost.
“Ugh! “Why won’t this come off?”
“Fuhahaha!”
It was fortunate that Pena was safe.
