Episode #104. Do you look satisfied?
“Thank you for today.”
“It’s okay, why don’t you stop packing these things? What I received last time is still there.”
“Hahaha I know. Then next time I will prepare other kinds of tea leaves and cookies.”
“Isn’t that what you’re talking about?”
“Anyway, I’ll always serve you free coffee and snacks, so don’t be shy and come anytime!”
Let’s conclude.
Limon was finally able to leave the live cafe at closing time.
It was because there were so many requests from the guests that they had to go back on stage several times after that.
I wonder if I’m sorry that I abused you for free.
President Jeong gave Limon and Yujin an envelope full of coffee beans and tea leaf cookies.
It was nothing new.
Every time he came to this cafe, Limon would go on stage and do extended live performances for free, and in the end, he would come back with only gifts.
“My partner, I have a question.”
“What do you mean?”
“Why don’t you take money from the boss?”
That’s why Eugene made a curious expression.
Even if it was himself, there was no reason Limon would play for free every time he didn’t get paid.
To that question, Limon gave a sullen answer.
“If I get paid, you too will be singing for money, right?”
“…for that reason?”
“It’s not the only problem with your soul.”
Was it because it was unexpected?
Take a moment to open your eyes.
Eugene finally smiled and put his arm around Limon’s shoulder.
“Thanks partner.”
“Is there anything to be thankful for? I just played the way I liked.”
“Yeah, so.”
what is so satisfying
Eugene, who was giggling while holding on to Limon, waved his hand vigorously and said goodbye after a while.
“Then bye bye! Come play again next time!”
“OK.”
After Eugene left.
Yuna-kyung, who suddenly poked her head out over Limon’s head, asked shyly.
[What is it?]
“What is it?”
[The Seon dialogue just now.]
“What kind of Seon dialogue is the Seon dialogue? It just means that I volunteered for a friend who said he didn’t want to sing for money.”
Limon laughed.
Hearing that answer, Yuna-kyung put on a puzzled expression.
[Because I honestly don’t understand? Why are you willing to accept gifts such as cookies and coffee beans, but not money?]
When Yoo-jin was hired at President Jeong’s live cafe, there was one condition.
that there is no charge for performance.
Yuna-kyung couldn’t understand Yoo-jin’s behavior, where she took care of her part-time job every time, but cut off her songs and worked without pay.
Limon’s answer to that was simple.
“Is it the same amount of money as the number written on your bank account and the birthday present your younger siblings bought for you with their pocket money?”
[That and this case are different!]
“No, it’s the same.”
Limon shook his head.
And looking at the place where Eugene left, he continued talking quietly.
“People view gold as a stone, not because they lack greed, but because they are afraid of gold.”
Eugene is shameless enough to ask for a loan from someone he has only met once without hesitation.
Besides, Eugene’s singing, if not as much as Limon’s accompaniment, was at a level where even a street performance could be enough to earn a meal.
Even so, why did Eugene not sell songs until he was driven to the point of collapse from starvation?
Limon didn’t know.
And I had no idea.
Because I knew through a long life experience that it would be nice to find out about such things.
[Do you know what kind of court grand duke the team leader is? Please answer Zen questions out of the blue.]
“Why are you comparing me to him? Just looking at her age, I’m way ahead of her.”
[That’s right, Grand Duke Beopjeong is an overwhelming person in terms of recognition and personality compared to the team leader
who is only old .]
[You’re saying that you’ve wasted your age because you’re being so petty…! Quack!]
Whether or not Yuna-kyung, who had been hit by honey chestnuts on her forehead, jumped.
Limon continued calmly.
“Anyway, he won’t be selling songs because he’s in need of money.”
[How are you so sure?]
“He’s rich.”
[…Yes?]
“I should say that I have the ability to become rich.”
[What kind of monster is that running away from the dungeon?]
Yuna-kyung was completely bewildered.
Being chased by a creditor and dying of starvation on the street, or working part-time at a live cafe.
It was because I couldn’t understand Limon’s words that Eugene, who was full of empty tea everywhere, was rich.
“It sounds absurd, but what can I do? It’s true.”
[So how does the team leader know that?]
“You can tell just by pretending?”
[…I want to tell you not to say nonsense, but when the team leader says that, it seems so real that I can’t say anything.]
“Of course it’s real.”
[Wow, bad luck.]
Limon snorted lightly.
And he muttered as he moved his steps.
“I seem to be content with being a wandering musician right now…but how long can the nail in my pocket stay calm?”
* * *
“Hmm.”
As if to show off that you have basic intelligence and culture when you become the head of a family.
It’s been a while since I’ve been immersed in reading while fiddling with my mustache.
Wang Feng Shui closed the book he was reading.
And then he asked out of nowhere.
“How are you? I think you may have changed your mind now.”
“It’s as Comrade Ki-rae said.”
The blind-eyed young man who was tied to the mold laughed at those words.
“I was going to keep my mouth shut, but I was so bored I couldn’t stop. So would you please play the gigagio?”
“Are you bored?”
“Of course, isn’t it? I was expecting the giant seven dragons’ torture technique to be amazing, but it’s not quite what I expected.”
“You are more nervous than you see that you can say such a thing even in that state.”
“I’ve heard a lot of people say that I’m more substantial than I am on the outside.”
The Wang function was honestly amazed.
The young man’s face now is miserable.
The leather on the left foot is peeling off, the right foot is being melted in real time by a dark drug, and countless long needles are piercing the body.
It was because a normal person would have gone mad after shouting to be killed long ago.
“I am ashamed of this. Even though I, the head of the household, put my sincerity into it, there was no result.”
“Don’t beat yourself up so much. It’s not my comrade’s fault that I’m so proud.”
“Thank you for even just saying that.”
It is truly a friendly sight.
A bizarre image of the torturer and the tortured having a friendly conversation.
And it was very clear who was leading this atmosphere, the young man or Wang Shikyeong.
It’s easy for the torturer to laugh, but it was never something anyone could do for the tortured to laugh.
It was a situation that was more than heartbreaking for Wang Shikyeong, who had caught the young man even hitting Limon on the back of the head in order to dig up information about the beast.
“But there is no need for such superficial consideration
. ”
That’s why Wang Shikyeong laughed. He
could never lead the prestigious clan in the Seven Dragons if he was so clumsy that he was anxious that the head of the Shanghai
royal family was a bit of a bitch.
Above all, there was a reason to leisurely watch such a young man’s venom.
“It’s not like you can only find out something from your mouth.”
“What kind of asshole is that sound?”
Whether the young man laughs or not.
The king function didn’t care.
I just opened the book I had covered and read the chapters sequentially.
“My name is Ryu Kang-cheol.”
“My nickname when I was young was Dog Poop.”
“I am from Northern China in the 77th Commonwealth of China. I am 29 years old and my birthday is on July 9th.”
“I grew up with a single mother, and after my mother remarried, I was abused by my stepfather for three years before running away. Judging from the disappearance of the mother and stepfather at the same time, it is suspected of escaping after the murder.”
“Considering that a similar person was later witnessed in a nearby dungeon, it is presumed that he became an unregistered player after running away from home.”
“There is a 300% increase in the number of missing players in the dungeon where Ryu Kang-chul was active, and there is a possibility that he may have committed murder and robbery against players.”
“After becoming an adult, he received registration military training as a mercenary in the Free Cities League and captured circumstances in which he carried out various illegal requests, such as massacring civilians and assassinating terrorists.”
“Given that he was discontinued five years ago and was declared dead, it is expected that he joined a special organization or company and acted in secret.”
It’s like reading someone’s biography.
Wang Shikong, who was reading the book he was holding leisurely, raised his head again.
Then, looking straight at the young man who was talking excitedly, he smiled.
“How do you feel? Mr. Ryu Gang-cheol.”
“…You did a really good job researching that, but wait. Wasn’t it difficult to find my information?”
“Even if records are expunged, people remain.”
“They say it’s even more amazing that they dug up all of them and found them out.”
“It is not very difficult. There is nothing in the world that cannot be done with money.”
Contrary to the calm and weak answer, it was not easy to dig into the past of Ryu Gang-cheol, a young man with new eyes.
If he hadn’t recalled the advice he had heard from Limon before and hadn’t searched for his military career, he didn’t know how many years it would have taken even with the intelligence of the Seven Dragons.
To that extent, Ryu Kang-cheol’s records were completely erased.
That was why Wang Feng asked repeatedly.
“In that sense, I’m going to ask you one more time, don’t you have any intention of telling the truth soon?”
“What are you bothering to ask? If there’s nothing that can’t be done with money, can’t you just figure it out yourself?”
“Yeah, but it’s a big loss to spend a lot of money to investigate something you can get for free.”
“Don’t like it too much for free. Don’t you know you’ll go bald then?”
“Because I have no interest in the proverbs of this country. If you can save it, shouldn’t you?”
Anyway, everything is a matter of time.
So just tell me to be honest.
To Wang Shikyeong who spoke with a meaningful smile, Ryu Kangcheol smiled and replied.
“If you have the confidence to find out, don’t beg pathetically and find out for yourself, comrade.”
“Hmm, is that the answer?”
To some extent, this seems to be the expected result.
Wang Shikong did not show any sign of disappointment.
I just slowly shook my head and got up from my seat.
Udangtang!
It happened in an instant.
The fact that Wang Shi-sang’s lightly wielded kick got lodged in Ryu Gang-cheol’s temple and fell through the iron frame he was tied to.
“I was trying to do it as cheaply as possible. This is why you shouldn’t show mercy to those who don’t know grace.”
It’s time to click your tongue.
Wang Feng took a step forward.
Then, he stepped on Ryu Kang-cheol’s scattered head and continued.
“Look at this Mr. Ryu Gang-cheol. Do you think I’m easygoing because I only use honorifics?”
“Don’t worry… Malau. Comrades look easy enough even without using respect… Kuck!”
Ryu Kang-chul coughed up blood.
This is because the psionic that flowed from the foot of the king function created pain as if squeezing the internal organs through the long needle embedded in the body.
“What do you understand? You should be confident because your body has withstood 108 torture techniques that the Seven Dragons are proud of.”
The Seven Dragons’ Torture Skills.
The ultimate form of torture, each one inflicting extreme pain on humans.
Proof of being superhuman is that he endured it by three digits.
It was proof of qualifications sufficient to boast that any torture could be laughed at.
“But don’t be cocky. The torture skills of our Seven Dragons aren’t just over.”
That’s why the king’s function laughed.
I’ve only shown you a taste yet.
The foolishness of Ryu Kang-cheol, who thought that he had overcome everything to this extent.
“Ah, by the way, you’d better give up expecting someone to save you. Even your proud comrades won’t be able to save you.”
and another one.
The grounds that Ryu Kang-cheol could have endured.
Recalling the clue that he finally found after mobilizing not only the Shanghai royal family but also the entire information network of the Seven Dragons Association, Wang Xiangian smiled coldly.
“The ghost of the Liberation Brigade.”
