Descent of The Demon Master [EN]: Chapter 1321

Choi Yeon-ha examined the liquor bottle in her hand, clicking her tongue in disappointment.

“Tsk, it didn’t even break.”

Considering the force she’d used, the fact that the bottle hadn’t shattered suggested Choi Yeon-ha had held back at the last moment.

Well, it wasn’t as if a sane person would smash a bottle over someone’s head until it broke.

“Hey!”

“Yes? Yes?” The translator, who had turned pale, responded.

Choi Yeon-ha barked at him.

“Translate exactly what I say.”

“Yes!”

Choi Yeon-ha’s face contorted as she yelled.

“Do you think this is the first time I’ve dealt with something like this? You bastards, I’ve been through hell and back in Korea! How dare you talk so carelessly! I swear!”

Choi Yeon-ha hurled the bottle against the wall.

With a sharp crash, the bottle shattered into pieces, scattering across the floor.

“That crazy bitch!” Zhao Xu lunged at Choi Yeon-ha, but Han Eun-sol grabbed him by the collar.

“Hey, are you not going to let go?”

“Hey.”

“Hey? Did you just say ‘hey’ to me…”

“These bastards, what do you think of my actress!” Han Eun-sol punched Zhao Xu in the jaw. Zhao Xu groaned and stumbled to the side.

“I should just kill them all.”

“Hey, hey, calm down.” Choi Yeon-ha waved her hand.

“Let’s go.”

“Are we just leaving these bastards here?”

“We’ve already caused enough trouble. Do you want to make things worse?”

“…My blood is boiling.”

Han Eun-sol glanced at Zhao Xu, who was struggling to get up from the floor.

“You…” Zhao Xu’s face was twisted with rage.

“You crazy bastards!”

“You shut up.” When the translator hesitated, Choi Yeon-ha glared at him. The translator quickly relayed her words.

“Hey, I don’t need to make money. If I have to make money like this, I’d rather not make it at all! Am I crazy to make money by catering to old men? If I was going to do that, I would have been a superstar ten years ago, you bastards!”

Choi Yeon-ha kicked the table and turned around. Then, she glared at Wu Chao, who was still groaning on the floor.

“And you, keep your hands to yourself. How dare you touch someone’s body? Are you out of your mind!”

Choi Yeon-ha stepped on Wu Chao’s hand with her heel as he groaned.

“Aaaah! Aaaah!” Wu Chao screamed, but Choi Yeon-ha calmly stepped on his hand again as she walked away.

“Let’s go.”

“Yes, sis.”

Just then.

“Wait!” Wu Chao shouted.

Choi Yeon-ha glanced back.

“You damn bitch… Do you know what you just did?”

“I hit you because you were acting like a dog, why? I may be a bitch, but you’re a dog. So, I can hit you. What’s wrong with that?”

“Sis, that’s a violation of dog rights. They’re worse than dogs.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Wu Chao straightened his back. Blood dripped from his forehead, which he was holding with one hand.

“You crazy people, you think you’re in a movie? Do you think you can walk out of here on your own two feet today?”

Choi Yeon-ha’s face hardened slightly at those words.

“Today, I’ll show you the end. Let’s see if you’ll have the same face a little later. I’ll make you beg for your life. What are you doing, you bastard!” As Wu Chao shouted, Zhao Xu frantically pressed the bell. Han Eun-sol’s face also paled at the sight.

‘This… this is the place these bastards booked.’

They must be acquainted, so they would naturally take their side. And in such high-end rooms, there are always people who can use force. No, even if there weren’t, Choi Yeon-ha and Han Eun-sol wouldn’t be able to handle it with just the employees rushing in.

If this were Korea, they could call the police, but this isn’t Korea. She had forgotten that fact for a moment. When she couldn’t come to her senses, she should have run away…

Knock knock.

Before her thoughts could finish, there was a knock on the door.

“Come in! Catch these bastards!” Wu Chao yelled, and the door burst open.

Choi Yeon-ha and Han Eun-sol’s bodies slightly slumped when they saw the person who entered with a pale face. The two staggered and let out a low sigh.

“Would you like some more drinks? Or…” The man who opened the door and came inside. Lee Hyun-soo was smiling brightly.

Choi Yeon-ha, who was staring at Lee Hyun-soo with a slightly flushed face, couldn’t hide her bewilderment and said,

“…How did you know to come here?”

“I didn’t know. I just came.”

“How did you get inside?”

“I came through the door. Oh, Moutai [a type of Chinese liquor]? Wow, they’re drinking expensive stuff.”

Lee Hyun-soo walked in, grinning, grabbed a bottle, and drank it straight from the bottle.

“Tsk, it’s fake. These bastards, they have so much money, but they’re drinking fake stuff?”

“…It’s fake?”

“Yes. It’s fake. The taste is different.”

“Tsk, really…” Choi Yeon-ha looked at Wu Chao with a frustrated expression.

Wu Chao’s face was filled with bewilderment.

“You, who are you? What are you doing?”

“Why are Chinese people so fearless? They’re cursing from the first meeting. What if I were a bad guy?”

“You are a bad guy.”

“That’s right.” Lee Hyun-soo shrugged.

“Well, I think we need to sort things out… Would you like to go outside? The employees and the madam will be sitting quietly in one room, so you won’t see them.”

“…Sort things out? What are you going to sort out?”

“I think I know what happened, roughly, from what I’ve seen and heard.”

“Yes.”

“Relationships are unpredictable, but you’re the Madam, and you’re also a director, and you’ve been insulted, so I can’t just let it slide. And it’s easier to clean up if I sort things out first.”

“Huh?” Choi Yeon-ha, not understanding, questioned Lee Hyun-soo. Lee Hyun-soo slightly turned his head.

He was smiling.

Seeing Lee Hyun-soo smiling with narrowed eyes, a sense of dread washed over her. Choi Yeon-ha unconsciously took a step back.

“If you just go outside, I’ll sort things out quickly.”

“W-wait a minute, Lee Hyun-soo-ssi. No, Director Lee.”

“What is it?” Choi Yeon-ha stammered.

“I know that neither you nor Kang Jin-ho are good people, and I know that you live in a different world than I do, but I want to live in reality, okay? Please don’t drag my problems into a fantasy.”

“That’s why I’m telling you to go outside…”

“No! It’s not like covering your eyes and pretending it’s not there! What’s going to change if you do that! Just leave it alone! Don’t do anything!”

“Yes. If that’s what you want.” Lee Hyun-soo shrugged and stepped back.

“…Are you giving up?”

“You told me to give up, didn’t you?” Lee Hyun-soo asked back, as if he was wronged.

“That easily?”

“I’m a man who changes his mind easily. And realistically, if a superior gives an order, what can I do? I have to do as I’m told.”

“A-am I your superior?” Lee Hyun-soo shrugged.

“Of course, the director of MK Entertainment is not my superior. I’m not affiliated with MK. But the Chairman’s girlfriend is my superior. Official titles don’t mean anything. I have to survive too, you know.”

“So, please take good care of me. Hehe.” Choi Yeon-ha looked at Lee Hyun-soo’s face with a mixture of bewilderment and discomfort.

This man… she couldn’t figure him out at all. But one thing was clear: the chilling aura Lee Hyun-soo had shown a moment ago was definitely not a misperception. What if Choi Yeon-ha had gone outside as Lee Hyun-soo had told her to?

‘Let’s not think about it.’

She still wanted to stay in reality.

“Let’s go. Just go. There’s no need to beat those guys up anymore.”

“To clear up any misunderstanding, I wasn’t planning on beating them up. Um… no, it might be better if you just misunderstand.”

“I get it, let’s just go.”

“Then, just a moment.” Lee Hyun-soo walked over to Wu Chao and kicked him in the chest.

Wu Chao let out a gasp and fell over.

Crack!

At that moment, Lee Hyun-soo stepped on Wu Chao’s right hand, which was lying on the floor. The sound of bones breaking was clear.

“Aaaaaaaah!” Wu Chao screamed and grabbed Lee Hyun-soo’s leg with his other hand. But Lee Hyun-soo calmly took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff.

“Hoo…” Lee Hyun-soo exhaled a long stream of smoke and sighed.

“I can’t quit smoking because of bastards like you. No, honestly, it’s because of the Chairman.” Lee Hyun-soo’s eyes turned cold.

“You should know your place before you stretch your legs, how dare you touch the Chairman’s girlfriend with your dirty hands?”

“Ugh! Ugh!”

“Be grateful that she’s merciful. I’ll end it by just taking one of your hands.” Crack! Lee Hyun-soo stepped on Wu Chao’s hand again, twisting and crushing it, then threw the cigarette into Wu Chao’s screaming mouth.

“Thanks for the ashtray.” Then, he turned around without any regrets.

“Let’s go.” Choi Yeon-ha looked at Lee Hyun-soo with a slightly pale face.

Lee Hyun-soo frowned at her expression.

“Um… can I be honest for a moment?”

“What is it?”

“I don’t want to get that look from someone who smashed a bottle over someone’s head in that situation. Anyone can see that I’m the more reasonable one here.”

“Have you ever thought that your standards of common sense are a bit strange?”

“No.”

“…Okay. Never mind. Let’s go.”

“As you wish.” Lee Hyun-soo smiled brightly, grabbed the door, and closed it.

“Let’s get out of here before the police come. It’ll be a hassle if we get caught.”

“I think it’s already a hassle?”

“We can just go back to Korea. They won’t be able to report Choi Yeon-ha, so we’ll be fine as long as we’re not caught at the scene.”

“The police will be on their side, won’t they?”

“Yes. Of course, but…” Lee Hyun-soo turned to Han Eun-sol.

“Did you do as I told you?”

“Yes, Director.”

“What are you talking about?” Choi Yeon-ha tilted her head, and Han Eun-sol explained.

“When we were coming in the taxi, the director told me to record the conversation, so I installed an app and started recording.”

“Since we have evidence, they won’t be able to pin it on us. It would be a national disgrace if they did.”

“They’re more afraid of the Party than us, so they won’t say anything…” Lee Hyun-soo tilted his head, then opened the door again.

“Hey, did you hear that? Should I say it again? We recorded everything, so don’t try to report us. I’m going to send this to Korea. If the police come, I’ll upload it to the internet and leak it to the media.” There was no answer, but Lee Hyun-soo assumed they understood and closed the door again.

“Now, let’s go. The Chairman is waiting for us.” Choi Yeon-ha nodded blankly and followed Lee Hyun-soo, who was walking ahead.

‘The last room.’ The half-open door caught her eye. She stopped and peeked inside, seeing the employees sprawled out like rice cakes and the madam cowering in a corner.

“Tsk, I told them to stay behind the closed door.” Lee Hyun-soo smiled awkwardly.

“I’ve got a taxi waiting downstairs.”

“You’re really fast at handling things.”

“Hehe, it’s a bit embarrassing to say this myself, but if I had been a manager, I would have become a legend in the industry.”

“…The problem is that your jokes don’t sound like jokes.” Choi Yeon-ha shook her head and walked towards the elevator.

“But can I ask you one thing?”

“Yes. Anything.”

“Does Jin-ho handle things like this too?”

“Haven’t you already experienced it?” That’s right.

She had experienced it.

“Compared to the Chairman, I’m a really gentle man.”

“…You’re all crazy.” Choi Yeon-ha got on the elevator, resolving to avoid these guys as much as possible.
