Mining And Construction Tycoon [EN]: Chapter 155

Eye Contact (4)

Gukbin Hall in Jongno [a district in Seoul].

Gukbin Hall is a playground for young people, adorning the night.

A glamorous place filled with dance, song, alcohol, and pleasure.

However, Gukbin Hall is eerily quiet during the day.

Instead, the basement of Gukbin Hall was gloomy as ever today.

“This bitch still hasn’t come to her senses.”

“Kya!”

The woman who was being beaten for refusing to sell her body trembled.

“A bitch with nothing but her body, where do you think you’re coming from? Don’t you understand that you have to pay off your debt with your body? Huh?”

“I, I’ll pay it off by working. I’ll work hard even in the kitchen, so…….”

“When will that be? Do I look like a pushover to you?”

The boss of Gukbin Hall grabbed the woman’s hair.

It was then.

“Boss, the guys who went out last night haven’t returned.”

The boss of Gukbin Hall replied indifferently.

“Which guys?”

“The guys who went to wreck the car last night.”

“What?”

The boss of Gukbin Hall finally turned around.

“Seven guys went to wreck just one car, and they haven’t returned yet?”

“That is…….”

“That is my ass. Make some sense. They must be drunk and passed out somewhere.”

“I told them I’d set them up with women after they finished the job. You know how much those guys like women.”

They wouldn’t pass up women to go drinking.

“Did you send guys out to check?”

“The guys who went out in the morning have also gone silent.”

“What? Are you kidding me right now?”

The boss of Gukbin Hall threw the woman aside and came over.

He immediately kicked his subordinate’s joint with his shoe.

The subordinate groaned without making a sound.

It hurt so much that tears came out, but he couldn’t lose his posture.

“How did you train these guys?”

“I’m, I’m sorry.”

“If the guys don’t come back, shouldn’t you go after them?”

“So, I’m trying to report the current situation…….”

“Why are you talking so much? Aren’t you going to run?”

Another kick landed on his joint.

He didn’t show any mercy.

There’s nothing more painful than a joint that’s been kicked repeatedly.

It was then.

A subordinate burst into the basement, opening the door and running in.

“B, Big Boss!”

“What?”

“Strange guys have invaded outside.”

“Strange guys?”

The boss of Gukbin Hall jumped up.

Gukbin Hall had taken over the entire Jongno area.

Who would dare to invade Gukbin Hall?

“Why is it like this today? Who’s causing trouble in my territory?”

“I, I don’t know. They’re like masked robbers, and they’re incredibly skilled!”

“Let’s go.”

The boss of Gukbin Hall grabbed several sashimi knives.

The subordinate who was being kicked in the joint also diligently grabbed a hammer and a wrench.

Gukbin Hall’s main hall.

It was after a scene of utter chaos had unfolded.

In just 10 minutes, this place had been occupied.

In fact, just 10 minutes ago, the gangsters of Gukbin Hall were quite formidable.

-10 minutes ago.

The lackeys guarding the entrance were thrown into Gukbin Hall’s main hall like garbage.

The Gukbin Hall gangsters who were snickering in the hall frowned menacingly and stood up one by one.

“Who are these fucking bastards?”

“Who do you think you are coming in here, you sons of bitches!”

20 people, all dressed in black, were lined up in formation.

The muscular giant of 2 meters standing at the very front was particularly eye-catching.

It was Kim Gwang-rok.

Kim Gwang-rok shouted loudly.

“Who’s the boss here?”

The Gukbin Hall gangsters scoffed at the sudden demand for their boss.

“What are these assholes saying?”

“Boss? Do you want your heads cracked open?”

The Gukbin Hall gangsters swaggered towards the bodyguards of the Taeyang Group [a fictional corporation].

They each held a tool in their hands, their swaggering demeanor disgusting.

Kim Gwang-rok turned around and said.

“Subdue them all.”

“Lieutenant Colonel, I mean, Chief. Is it okay if these guys get scratches on their skin?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Then it’s easy.

But Kim Gwang-rok pointed out five bodyguards.

“Shall we check our youngest members’ skills for the first time in a while? I’ll give you 10 minutes.”

That meant taking on 40 people in 10 minutes.

“Why? Can’t you do it? You only have to deal with eight people each.”

In reality, Kim Gwang-rok had easily dealt with guys like that.

It didn’t even take a minute, let alone five.

But that was Kim Gwang-rok, not the youngest members of the security team.

“Can’t you see those guys have weapons?”

They were empty-handed.

Of course, they had various weapons properly equipped inside their clothes, but the opponents were civilians.

The use of weapons was prohibited unless Kim Gwang-rok gave permission.

“Okay, I’ll give you a break. Then add five more.”

It became a total of 10 people.

Only then did the youngest members straighten their shoulders.

They could handle it without weapons with this many people.

Seeing that, the Gukbin Hall gangsters raised their voices even louder.

“You dare to come in without weapons?”

“Guys, beat these bastards up!”

Kim Gwang-rok also gave the order.

“Start.”

As soon as the words were spoken, the bodyguards of the Taeyang Group quietly rushed in.

They didn’t make a single word or breath.

Kim Gwang-rok crossed his arms.

“I’ll give you 5 minutes.”

Reducing the time because the number of people increased, that’s too much!

The movements of the Taeyang Group bodyguards began to speed up even more.

* * *

The Gukbin Hall gangsters who clashed with the bodyguards screamed and fell away one by one.

Clearly, the other side was empty-handed, and they were holding knives, so how could this result come about?

They were subdued in an instant without even wielding their weapons properly.

Each and every one of them had unusual skills.

“Ouch.”

“Ouch, ouch.”

It took less than 5 minutes for more than 40 Gukbin Hall gangsters to fall to the floor.

The youngest members shook their hands.

“Mission accomplished within the time limit.”

“Good. The youngest members will skip tonight’s training.”

Skipping hellish evening training.

If they had known this would happen, they would have volunteered.

The senior members just smacked their lips.

“Is it true that these guys sell women, sell drugs, and engage in human trafficking and organ trafficking?”

“With this skill? They must be living an easy life.”

None of the Gukbin Hall gangsters who were lying on the floor groaning had intact bones.

They were told to catch them as if they were North Korean spies, so they caught them the same way, but compared to the spy bastards, these guys’ skills were terrible.

One of the subordinate bodyguards quietly said.

“Chief, I don’t see the boss or anything like that.”

“If we catch the boss, do we get to skip evening training too?”

No way.

“Just beat up anyone. He wouldn’t have run away, would he, being the boss and all?”

A bodyguard grabbed the collar of a gangster rolling on the floor.

Kim Gwang-rok pointed out five other subordinates.

“You guys search this place. Bring back all the evidence of the crime.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“I’ll give you 30 minutes. If you come back within the time limit, you’ll pass evening training.”

It was when the designated subordinates were happy.

The boss of Gukbin Hall, who had just come up from the basement, shouted loudly.

“Hey, where did you guys come from?”

The bodyguard threw the gangster he had grabbed by the collar and turned around.

“Chief, the boss is over there.”

“Yeah, I saw him too.”

Kim Gwang-rok grinned, revealing his gums.

Then, he loosened his neck from side to side and said.

“The warning was well received.”

“Warning?”

Only then did the boss of Gukbin Hall realize who these guys were.

‘These are the guys who caught our guys last night!’

The boss of Gukbin Hall gripped the sashimi knife tightly.

“Our guys? They’re not dead, are they?”

“Not yet.”

The word ‘yet’ was particularly ominous.

He couldn’t figure out if this was good news or bad news.

“It’s polite to return what you received. So, we came to warn you too.”

Kim Gwang-rok cracked his fingers meticulously.

“Gukbin Hall, let’s close down as of today.”

Was this a warning or a notice?

“When you aim for someone else’s life, you have to be prepared for your own life to be fucked. Don’t you think?”

Kim Gwang-rok pretended to cut with two fingers.

“The brakes are cut off on this side, that’s what it means.”

So, I can’t stop.

“Then, where should we cut on your side to be fair?”

One of the bodyguards subtly drew his hand across his neck.

Some drew across their lower body.

Some drew across their wrists or legs.

Kim Gwang-rok nodded, accepting his subordinates’ opinions.

“Then, shall we beat you up first and think about it again?”

The bodyguards nodded at the same time, saying it was a good idea.

Taeyang Apartment construction site.

As the door of the black van opened, Kim Gwang-rok got out of the car first.

Tae-soo took off his safety helmet and approached Kim Gwang-rok.

“How did the matter you went to take care of go?”

“Of course, it ended cleanly. What’s so difficult about beating up those little shits?”

Kim Gwang-rok had a refreshed expression.

“I returned it more than what we received.”

Kim Gwang-rok made a scissor motion in the air with two fingers.

“I cut it off properly.”

What did he mean by cutting it off?

“Did you contact Captain again this time and put them in the police station?”

“No. You told me to handle them like spies, right?”

What exactly did he mean by handling them?

“The underground facility there was amazing. It was made perfectly for catching people. Thanks to that, I used it well.”

What purpose did he use the underground facility of Gukbin Hall for?

“Take this. I’ve sorted out only the things that might be helpful.”

Kim Gwang-rok reached out his hand.

A security team employee handed over a large travel bag.

Kim Gwang-rok held the travel bag, which could be called a blanket bundle, lightly like a handbag.

“These are the things those bastards voluntarily paid as taxes.”

It was heavy enough to make a thud when he put it on the floor.

“They were in charge of all the dirty work.”

Kim Gwang-rok took out various things from the bag.

“Drug distribution ledger, pimp ledger, bribery ledger, debt documents, body abandonment contracts, organ trafficking contracts, collection ledger…….”

It kept coming out endlessly.

Tae-soo watched it silently.

“Take this.”

Kim Gwang-rok rummaged through the bag and took something out.

A thin document placed on Tae-soo’s palm.

“What is this?”

“Gukbin Hall land documents, building documents, business registration certificate. I properly took it over.”

It was absurd.

“Why this…….”

“Gukbin Hall closed down as of today.”

“…….”

How did he handle things that Gukbin Hall closed down?

Jeon Doo-hwan’s Samcheong Education Corps [a military program] hadn’t even been created yet.

Kim Gwang-rok was brazenly nonchalant.

“They said that what was taken by force would eventually be taken away by force, and they gave it up and handed it over first.”

That’s the way of the world, or something like that.

I don’t know what he’s talking about, but I quickly accepted it because he said he would give it to me.

Kim Gwang-rok pointed to the large bag.

“A lot of other things came out besides this. When I gave it to them, the Central Intelligence Agency [Korean Intelligence Agency] dragged them away at once.”

I don’t know about the other things, but I know one thing.

Those bastards, they’re in big trouble.

Then Kim Gwang-rok found a ledger and handed it to Tae-soo.

“This is what you were looking for.”

“This is…….”

“The follow-up work and lists received from Cheongil.”

He found Han Il-kwon’s traces.

“A rich man’s son was commissioning heinous things. He must have made a lot of women cry.”

Kim Gwang-rok grinned, revealing his gums.

Tae-soo also grinned as he looked at the ledger.

“I can show Han Il-kwon around the prison this time.”

“Of course, you have to show him around. Wouldn’t he rot for about 20 years with this?”
