64. Reorganization (2)
If they had ambushed me, things might have been different.
A sniper from a nearby high-rise rooftop could have gotten me. No matter how enhanced my physical abilities are, there’s nothing I can do if a bullet pierces my head.
I felt a chill down my spine, but their stupidity was a stroke of luck. If they had meticulously planned an ambush and sniped at us, both Rin and I might have lost our lives.
He announced he would shoot by pulling out his gun, which allowed me to deploy a shield safely. Naturally, the bullet couldn’t penetrate it.
Thwack!
“Kkeuaaaak!”
I slammed his arm.
Yong Sung-dae’s arm twisted grotesquely and broke, but no one was left to worry about him. Rin had already sliced off everyone else’s limbs.
“Heehee! Heeheehee!”
Rin laughed like a truly mad demon.
What would have happened if I hadn’t made a Mana Pact [a magical contract] with Rin?
She would have hidden in the shadows with that madness, tormenting me to the end. Now, that crazy woman is an ally. It’s as if she has a bomb in her heart, ensuring she can never betray me, no matter what.
“You think you can kill me with toys like that?”
“Ugh… Ugh…”
People panic when overwhelmed by extreme fear.
The Yong Sung-dae Chairman was a perfect example.
He had witnessed Rin’s monstrous power and the fact that there were two monsters who couldn’t be killed even by bullets, so he must have been in utter terror.
But this wasn’t enough.
Unless I thoroughly re-educate him, he might harbor evil intentions and come at me again.
I decided to leave his education to Rin.
“Hey.”
“What?”
Her tone was still full of defiance.
But what could she do?
No matter how much she resisted, the Mana Pact wouldn’t disappear. The moment Rin betrayed me or tried to harm me, the mana in her heart would go berserk and kill her.
“Educate this old man a bit.”
“Heehee. Really? Is that okay?”
“Yeah. Just don’t kill him.”
“Yessir!”
Rin even snapped to attention, as if she was happy to do it.
She wasn’t in her right mind, but she was full of craziness, so I believed she would faithfully turn the trash into a new person.
“Lalala.”
Rin started to tightly bind Chairman Yong Sung-dae with silver tape, which I didn’t even know where she got from.
Rin forcibly reattached his dangling arm because it bothered her.
Crack!
“Kkeuaaaak!”
And Chairman Yong Sung-dae foamed at the mouth.
Chief Secretary Ahn Sung-chul, who had approached me, asked worriedly.
“Is it really okay to leave Chairman Yong to that woman?”
“Hmm. Probably not.”
“Haha… Somehow, it seems more merciful to just kill Chairman Yong, given the current situation.”
“Of course, that would be more merciful. But what can I do? I can’t just let someone who tried to kill me go easily. Besides, if Chairman Yong is gone, Y Construction will run wild, so someone needs to control them. Don’t worry. I ordered her not to kill him, so she won’t.”
“Um…”
He didn’t seem to trust Rin, even if he trusted other parts.
I shrugged.
“If he dies, there’s nothing I can do.”
He tried to kill me.
So, if Rin killed him during the education, there was nothing I could do. In that case, I would either melt him down or revive him as a skeleton. (Just kidding, of course… mostly.)
The situation was neatly wrapped up.
It couldn’t have been cleaner. I finally obtained the construction abandonment agreement with Chairman Yong’s clear fingerprints on it.
Hmm, can I even say I obtained it?
I temporarily borrowed the fingers of Chairman Yong, who was unconscious, to stamp the abandonment agreement. Anyway, once Chairman Yong becomes a new person, he will never be able to interfere with the construction again.
Rin made a phone call somewhere and chartered two more buses.
“Master!”
Rin’s voice was somehow gentle.
It was so strange to hear Rin, who was always defiant, being so gentle that it even scared me.
Why is this woman acting like this?
“…Why?”
“Can I educate the other kids too?”
“Uh…”
“Can’t I?”
She looked so innocent with tears welling up in her eyes.
Chief Secretary Ahn Sung-chul, who was watching from the side, stepped back with a look of horror. Even a gangster with decades of experience was horrified by Rin’s actions.
Just how far will this education go?
“Um… You won’t kill them, right?”
“Yes! I’ll just cripple them and throw them away! Heehee.”
“O-okay.”
“Thank you!”
Smack!
It was a surprise kiss.
Even though it was just a kiss on the forehead, I immediately took out a handkerchief and rubbed it vigorously. It seemed Ahn Sung-chul’s horror had spread to me.
“Eugh…”
“Heeheehee. Hehehe.”
That must be how a beast looks when it’s eyeing its prey.
I was relieved that Rin hadn’t become my enemy.
Rin loaded all 200 people and disappeared. I don’t know where she went.
“Hahaha.”
A hollow laugh escaped my lips.
I handed the abandonment agreement to Ahn Sung-chul.
“It’s over.”
“Will the Yonggari faction even be around tomorrow?”
“They definitely won’t be okay.”
“You don’t think she’ll chop up all 200 people.”
“Hey, she won’t do that. I made a promise with her.”
“W-won’t she just cut off their limbs?”
“Um. I don’t know about that.”
No, seriously, I don’t know.
I ordered her not to kill them, and I left everything else to Rin.
She didn’t tell me how she would educate them.
I’m starting to regret giving her this task.
But I soon shook my head.
He tried to kill me, so if I left him alone, there was a high possibility that he would harm my family. In that case, it seemed like a good option to just nip it in the bud.
I received a call on the way home.
It was from Chief Director Han Cheol-soo.
“Yes, Chief Director.”
-Hehehe! I heard you handled things very neatly.
“Did you hear from NK [Nameless Knights, a gang]?”
-Yes. I heard you got their fingerprints on the abandonment agreement and wiped out the Yonggari faction.
“That’s what happened.”
-Hehehe! You’re the best. I knew you could do it!
If Han Cheol-soo, who must be busy with the Yi Sun-shin Project [a major construction or development project], even called me, it seems the job was really done cleanly.
Well, even if it wasn’t that clean, H Group had the ability to make it so.
The important thing was that we won this war.
-We can start digging now. We’re planning to start demolition tomorrow. You’ve worked really hard.
“You’re welcome.”
-Still, I can’t help but worry a little. I know you’re skilled enough to wipe out the NK gangsters, but I don’t know what the Yonggari faction guys will do. It’ll be a headache if they start a guerrilla war.
“Um… You don’t have to worry about that.”
-Did you take some measures?
“Yes. I took care of it for sure.”
-I’ll trust you.
“Thank you.”
-Oh, the payment will be made today.
I ended the call with Han Cheol-soo.
Soon after, I received a text message.
Ding!
“That was fast.”
3 billion won [approximately $2.5 million USD] was deposited into my account.
They said they would give it to me today, and it came in right after the call ended. It really made me think, ‘That’s H Group for you.’
I didn’t even get to talk about the apartment complex shopping center, but they will probably take care of that neatly as well.
The details about the apartment complex shopping center were definitely in the contract, and Han Cheol-soo is not someone who would break a promise.
In some ways, a verbal promise with Han Cheol-soo was more reliable than a contract.
“Well, it’s good if it’s handled well.”
By the way, what happened to the guys who were dragged away by Rin?
I should check that out tomorrow.
A gloomy underground tomb that was hard to believe existed in the middle of Seoul.
It was created by purchasing an entire mountain on the outskirts of Seoul, and undead soldiers armed with rifles stood guard.
In the wide hall, nearly 200 people were tied up.
Rin looked at the test subjects with a very happy expression.
“I finally got some great research materials!”
Rin was conducting an experiment to see how much negative energy humans could emit.
There was mana in the atmosphere, and magical energy was dissolved within it.
Magical energy was separated when humans emitted negative energy, and it came out when all sorts of bad emotions such as despair, fear, hostility, and anger burst out. And the experiment to test the limit of that was the research she was doing now.
First, Rin brought in dozens of zombies to create fear.
Of course, they weren’t proper ones, but vicious ones with their intestines flowing out, half of their faces blown away, or rotten blood dripping down.
The zombies woke up the 200 people.
Thwack!
“Keoeok!”
Thwack!
“Kkeuaaaak!”
And finally, they woke up their boss, Chairman Yong Sung-dae.
“Huk! Hiiiik!”
Yong Sung-dae was horrified as he looked at the zombies moving with their faces grotesquely exploded and their chests blown open before his eyes.
The other gang members were the same.
“M-monster!”
“Save me!”
“This is a dream!”
“Hehehe. It’s not a dream?”
“You crazy witch!”
“Shall we mince them?”
Thwack!
“Kkeuaaaak!”
First, she started by breaking one limb at a time.
Still, they were gangsters, so they had some guts, but that would collapse meaninglessly in the face of the fear of death.
Blood splattered everywhere.
Rin laughed as she was hit by the falling blood.
“Uhihi! Uhihihi!”
It was even more bizarre because a beautiful woman was doing that.
The expressions on people’s faces were gradually filled with fear.
The next morning.
I woke up in a rather refreshed mood and prepared to go to work.
Today, I will finish cleaning each tower and head straight to the Shinyongsan district. There, I will inspect the land I received from H Group and sign the construction contract.
H Construction will be in charge of the construction, and a 15-story building will be built. The construction will be done almost at cost, and I will provide the laborers for simple labor, so the actual construction cost will be further reduced.
With this, I can say that I made a considerable profit by clearing the Shinyongsan district.
“Honey. You look happy. Is something going on?”
“Ah, you know the Shinyongsan district this time? My own building will be built there.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. Good things happen when you become famous.”
“Congratulations.”
“Is this something only I should be congratulated on? We should all celebrate.”
My wife was happy for me, but she didn’t have much greed.
She was happy that my business was doing well, not that my wealth was increasing.
“Huh?”
Soo-jung, who was watching the news, tilted her head.
“What’s wrong?”
“Look at that, Dad.”
The news reported that everyone from the Y Construction chairman to the key figures had been hospitalized in a mental hospital.
In short, all the executives of the Yonggari faction had gone collectively insane.
Of course, a woman as smart as Rin wouldn’t leave any evidence. But how could she ruin a person’s mind to that extent in just one day?
As expected of Rin.
The Yonggari faction guys deserved it. They tried to kill me.
This is what they call reaping what you sow.
