Become A Music Monster Overnight! [EN]: Chapter 100

Music Monster Overnight! 91

It was something that could lead to a sudden death on the streets, so he assigned people to prevent that from happening.

Approaching them as a former police officer, he guaranteed a minimum level of food and lodging in exchange for simple tasks.

He even gave bonuses when there was more work than usual from time to time.

“God, please let me win some money today!”

And each time, Lee Jin-cheol clutched the money that had come into his hands with such difficulty and headed to the casino.

His steps towards the casino were more energetic than anyone else’s.

“I’m definitely going to win! I can feel it! My luck is turning around!”

He was full of confidence when he started the game, but that confidence didn’t last long.

In less than an hour, he had lost all his money.

His appearance, once again falling into the abyss of despair and suffering, was almost like seeing a prisoner of hell.

“Gambling is really scary.”

Even Young-chan, who had the memories of the guy who died from drug addiction, shook his head at the terrible addiction of gambling.

* * *

It was longer than expected before Young-chan, who had successfully dealt with Lee Jin-cheol, received a call from Snakehead again.

“I found him.”

This was when he had finished his activities in the United States and decided to take a break.

Thanks to this, contacting Snakehead was a little easier.

“New Zealand?”

Through Snakehead’s story, he could understand why it took so long to catch him.

Initially, Snakehead thought Jang Do-cheol would be in Australia.

At the time, it was easy to immigrate to Australia, and considering Jang Do-cheol’s circumstances, it was highly likely.

And in fact, Jang Do-cheol’s traces were found in Australia.

“…He was scammed there, I heard.”

“Scammed?”

“Well, it’s not surprising. It’s common for people from the same hometown to rip each other off overseas.”

Still, if there was anything fortunate for Jang Do-cheol, it was that he didn’t become completely penniless.

With the compensation he received from Young-chan’s family, as well as the money he scammed from the townspeople, it wasn’t a small amount, so he had a considerable amount of money as an emergency fund.

However, it wasn’t enough to settle down in Australia.

“Of course, Jang Do-cheol tried to catch the scammer who scammed him, but how could that be possible?”

If he thought the scammer would be caught, he wouldn’t have scammed in the first place.

In any case, in this process, Jang Do-cheol formed relationships with various people, including Koreans.

Thanks to them, he had a place to live and a job to make a living.

“What’s funny is that less than a year later, he scammed the people who had helped him so much and fled to Canada.”

“…”

Young-chan was speechless at the turn of events that he couldn’t understand logically.

Isn’t that so?

Even animals repay kindness, but to commit such fraud, he wondered if he was even human.

Thanks to this, the hesitations that remained in his heart as a civilized person gradually faded away.

The amount of fraud Jang Do-cheol committed in Australia was by no means a small amount.

Thanks to this, unlike last time, Jang Do-cheol was able to settle down properly in Canada.

However, his comfortable life came to an end at some point.

“The money he brought gradually started to run out. Usually, he should think about working, but a scammer’s way of thinking is different.”

Well, it would be a job in its own way.

For a scammer, a job is scamming.

Having gained experience by scamming several times, Jang Do-cheol decided to liquidate all the remaining money and commit a proper scam.

He created a plausible corporation.

“The fact that he had shown a wealthy appearance for over 10 years was a big factor. More people than expected, including acquaintances, were deceived by him.”

The money he earned by scamming was a whopping 5 million dollars.

Converted to Korean currency, it was a large sum of nearly 6 billion won [approximately $4.5 million USD].

Jang Do-cheol, who had taken that huge sum by fraud, fled to New Zealand.

Having arrived in New Zealand, he obtained permanent residency and was said to be living a fairly affluent life with his family.

“What would you like to do? If you wish, there is a way to notify Canada.”

It’s a whopping 5 million dollars.

Wouldn’t there be a big shot among the investors of that huge amount?

Taking legal action is secondary, and there will surely be those who will catch him alive and take revenge.

Snakehead brought this up because he knew that ordinary people have a great burden when it comes to killing people.

Even though he wasn’t killing with his own hands, if he was socially educated, the burden of contract killing was also considerable.

So he’s telling him.

He doesn’t have to get his hands dirty.

“…No. Please proceed as planned.”

“Understood.”

Snakehead respected Young-chan’s decision.

Although it was an accident, he killed his father, brought great disgrace, and plunged his family into ruin, didn’t he?

He wasn’t a righteous person either. He scammed money that was more precious than blood to someone, and many people had to fall into despair because of this.

If such an evil person, such an enemy, is in front of you, it would be stranger not to beat him to death.

Young-chan had made a choice that was, in a way, natural as a human being.

‘Everything is caused by the fact that the law does not represent the anger of the victim.’

After finishing the call with Young-chan, Snakehead smiled bitterly before moving to proceed with the request.

“What? You’re saying my father committed fraud?”

“Don’t pretend you don’t know! Where is that bastard Jang Do-cheol?”

“No, no! We don’t know either. We haven’t been able to contact him for three days, so we’ve reported him missing.”

Jang Do-cheol’s son was disoriented by the people who rushed in with the police.

His wife, who knew the situation, had a look on her face as if what was coming had finally arrived.

“Don’t fucking act! Give him to me! Where is that bastard Jang Do-cheol?”

“I, I don’t know… Ugh!”

Jang Do-cheol’s affluent and comfortable home was turned upside down in an instant.

If Jang Do-cheol himself had been there, they would have held him responsible, but since he had disappeared, it was natural for the people who were trying to catch him to be so angry.

However, the Jang family’s terrible downfall was just the beginning.

Victims of fraud from Canada and Australia came looking for him, and victims of fraud from Korea were also causing a ruckus trying to find Jang Do-cheol.

But Jang Do-cheol had really abandoned his family and ran away, and he didn’t show up at all.

This incident was also reported on the main news in New Zealand, and surprisingly, it also became news in Korea.

This is because an article written in the community under the name of an international fraudster became a hot topic and spread widely.

-Crazy bastard! He completely tarnished the Republic of Korea.

-What kind of fraud are you committing internationally? And look at that nice house. How much did he rip off?

-Not only the New Zealand police but also Interpol are moving, but he still hasn’t been caught.

-Seeing that he abandoned his family and ran away, this bastard seems to be a legend.

Just when the story about Jang Do-cheol, who had become a hot topic, was about to subside, Jang Do-cheol was highlighted again due to an incident that could not be compared to the past.

-International fraudster Jang Do-cheol. It turns out that he also defrauded YC.

-Confession of conscience by a retired police officer! Received money from Jang Do-cheol, who was from the same hometown, and manipulated the ‘1997 multiple collision accident.’

-Framed YC’s father, who was full of affection, as a suspect and took a huge settlement!

-Along with this, it was revealed that the insurance company did not pay the insurance money on the pretext of the many insurances that YC’s father, who was full of affection, had taken out!

-Behind the unfortunate YC’s family was the terrible misdeed of Jang Do-cheol!

At first, people who thought it was just an article trying to attract attention quickly realized that the content was crazy and spread it at a terrifying speed.

It goes without saying that this incident was not only mentioned domestically.

Wasn’t YC the one who achieved the great feat of being number one on the Billboard chart for 18 weeks?

It was an incident at the center of the narrative about YC’s unfortunate childhood, so Asia, including Japan and China, as well as the West, including the United States, were buzzing.

The insurance companies that swallowed YC’s father’s insurance money at the time were the most upset in this process.

Usually, Korean insurance companies are major cash businesses run by large corporations. As such, they tend to have the names of large corporations attached.

In that respect, the work of insurance companies that became controversial not only domestically but also globally was bound to be a big problem.

For companies that are spending a lot of money to increase brand value, it was like being splattered with dirt.

In that situation, when YC said he would hold a trial to challenge this, they didn’t have to think any further.

If it was an ordinary person, or if it was someone with influence that couldn’t deviate much from the country, the insurance companies would have used all sorts of means to delay the time and win the trial.

It’s because they don’t want to waste money, but more than that, the damage caused by such a precedent is enormous.

However, now it is a situation that is causing enormous damage to the entire company, so they were trying to lead to a settlement, competing with each other.

Of course, there were some insurance companies that did not admit their guilt and only tried to get away with a settlement.

But Young-chan already had so much money that the criminal couldn’t even imagine.

To him, the insurance company’s offer was not worth considering.

“I needed one as an example anyway.”

Young-chan did not settle with this insurance company and instead mobilized all possible corporations and media companies to destroy them.

He warned them in advance.

He was telling them that he, who would be doing big business in Korea in the future, was by no means an easy opponent.

Thanks to this, they tried to hide their mistakes unnecessarily and suffered a huge stock price drop, and eventually they were able to reach a settlement by admitting all their mistakes.

* * *

“…It’s over now.”

Young-chan, who had taken revenge and restored his father’s honor, felt a sense of exhaustion that he couldn’t put into words.

The aftereffects of consuming so much emotion were belatedly finding him.

“…Son.”

“Brother…”

His mother and younger sister were a great help to him as he suffered from the aftereffects.

His family, who had come to Korea through this trial, became a support for him, who had been fighting alone.

Thanks to this, Young-chan was able to recover faster than expected.

Of course, that didn’t mean he was ready to work right away, so his break was inevitably extended.
