Episode #104. Do you look satisfied?
âThank you for today.â
âItâs okay, why donât you stop packing these things? What I received last time is still there.â
âHahaha I know. Then next time I will prepare other kinds of tea leaves and cookies.â
âIsnât that what youâre talking about?â
âAnyway, Iâll always serve you free coffee and snacks, so donât be shy and come anytime!â
Letâs 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 Iâm 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.
âMy partner, I have a question.â
âWhat do you mean?â
âWhy donât you take money from the boss?â
Thatâs why Eugene made a curious expression.
Even if it was himself, there was no reason Limon would play for free every time he didnât get paid.
To that question, Limon gave a sullen answer.
âIf I get paid, you too will be singing for money, right?â
ââ¦for that reason?â
âItâs not the only problem with your soul.â
Was it because it was unexpected?
Take a moment to open your eyes.
Eugene finally smiled and put his arm around Limonâs shoulder.
âThanks partner.â
âIs there anything to be thankful for? I just played the way I liked.â
âYeah, so.â
what is so satisfying
Eugene, who was giggling while holding on to Limon, waved his hand vigorously and said goodbye after a while.
âThen bye bye! Come play again next time!â
âOK.â
After Eugene left.
Yuna-kyung, who suddenly poked her head out over Limonâs head, asked shyly.
[What is it?]
âWhat is it?â
[The Seon dialogue just now.]
âWhat kind of Seon dialogue is the Seon dialogue? It just means that I volunteered for a friend who said he didnât want to sing for money.â
Limon laughed.
Hearing that answer, Yuna-kyung put on a puzzled expression.
[Because I honestly donât understand? Why are you willing to accept gifts such as cookies and coffee beans, but not money?]
When Yoo-jin was hired at President Jeongâs live cafe, there was one condition.
that there is no charge for performance.
Yuna-kyung couldnât understand Yoo-jinâs behavior, where she took care of her part-time job every time, but cut off her songs and worked without pay.
Limonâs answer to that was simple.
âIs 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?â
[That and this case are different!]
âNo, itâs the same.â
Limon shook his head.
And looking at the place where Eugene left, he continued talking quietly.
âPeople view gold as a stone, not because they lack greed, but because they are afraid of gold.â
Eugene is shameless enough to ask for a loan from someone he has only met once without hesitation.
Besides, Eugeneâs singing, if not as much as Limonâs 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 didnât 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.]
âWhy are you comparing me to him? Just looking at her age, Iâm way ahead of her.â
[Thatâs right, Grand Duke Beopjeong is an overwhelming person in terms of recognition and personality compared to the team leader
who is only old .]
[Youâre saying that youâve wasted your age because youâre being so pettyâ¦! Quack!]
Whether or not Yuna-kyung, who had been hit by honey chestnuts on her forehead, jumped.
Limon continued calmly.
âAnyway, he wonât be selling songs because heâs in need of money.â
[How are you so sure?]
âHeâs rich.â
[â¦Yes?]
âI should say that I have the ability to become rich.â
[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 couldnât understand Limonâs words that Eugene, who was full of empty tea everywhere, was rich.
âIt sounds absurd, but what can I do? Itâs true.â
[So how does the team leader know that?]
âYou can tell just by pretending?â
[â¦I want to tell you not to say nonsense, but when the team leader says that, it seems so real that I canât say anything.]
âOf course itâs real.â
[Wow, bad luck.]
Limon snorted lightly.
And he muttered as he moved his steps.
âI seem to be content with being a wandering musician right nowâ¦but how long can the nail in my pocket stay calm?â
* * *
âHmm.â
As if to show off that you have basic intelligence and culture when you become the head of a family.
Itâs been a while since Iâve 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.
âHow are you? I think you may have changed your mind now.â
âItâs as Comrade Ki-rae said.â
The blind-eyed young man who was tied to the mold laughed at those words.
âI was going to keep my mouth shut, but I was so bored I couldnât stop. So would you please play the gigagio?â
âAre you bored?â
âOf course, isnât it? I was expecting the giant seven dragonsâ torture technique to be amazing, but itâs not quite what I expected.â
âYou are more nervous than you see that you can say such a thing even in that state.â
âIâve heard a lot of people say that Iâm more substantial than I am on the outside.â
The Wang function was honestly amazed.
The young manâs 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.
âI am ashamed of this. Even though I, the head of the household, put my sincerity into it, there was no result.â
âDonât beat yourself up so much. Itâs not my comradeâs fault that Iâm so proud.â
âThank you for even just saying that.â
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.
Itâs 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.
âBut there is no need for such superficial consideration
. â
Thatâs 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 manâs venom.
âItâs not like you can only find out something from your mouth.â
âWhat kind of asshole is that sound?â
Whether the young man laughs or not.
The king function didnât care.
I just opened the book I had covered and read the chapters sequentially.
âMy name is Ryu Kang-cheol.â
âMy nickname when I was young was Dog Poop.â
âI am from Northern China in the 77th Commonwealth of China. I am 29 years old and my birthday is on July 9th.â
âI 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.â
âConsidering 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.â
âThere 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.â
âAfter 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.â
âGiven 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.â
Itâs like reading someoneâs 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.
âHow do you feel? Mr. Ryu Gang-cheol.â
ââ¦You did a really good job researching that, but wait. Wasnât it difficult to find my information?â
âEven if records are expunged, people remain.â
âThey say itâs even more amazing that they dug up all of them and found them out.â
âIt is not very difficult. There is nothing in the world that cannot be done with money.â
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 hadnât recalled the advice he had heard from Limon before and hadnât searched for his military career, he didnât know how many years it would have taken even with the intelligence of the Seven Dragons.
To that extent, Ryu Kang-cheolâs records were completely erased.
That was why Wang Feng asked repeatedly.
âIn that sense, Iâm going to ask you one more time, donât you have any intention of telling the truth soon?â
âWhat are you bothering to ask? If thereâs nothing that canât be done with money, canât you just figure it out yourself?â
âYeah, but itâs a big loss to spend a lot of money to investigate something you can get for free.â
âDonât like it too much for free. Donât you know youâll go bald then?â
âBecause I have no interest in the proverbs of this country. If you can save it, shouldnât you?â
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.
âIf you have the confidence to find out, donât beg pathetically and find out for yourself, comrade.â
âHmm, is that the answer?â
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-sangâs lightly wielded kick got lodged in Ryu Gang-cheolâs temple and fell through the iron frame he was tied to.
âI was trying to do it as cheaply as possible. This is why you shouldnât show mercy to those who donât know grace.â
Itâs time to click your tongue.
Wang Feng took a step forward.
Then, he stepped on Ryu Kang-cheolâs scattered head and continued.
âLook at this Mr. Ryu Gang-cheol. Do you think Iâm easygoing because I only use honorifics?â
âDonât worry⦠Malau. Comrades look easy enough even without using respect⦠Kuck!â
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.
âWhat do you understand? You should be confident because your body has withstood 108 torture techniques that the Seven Dragons are proud of.â
The Seven Dragonsâ 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.
âBut donât be cocky. The torture skills of our Seven Dragons arenât just over.â
Thatâs why the kingâs function laughed.
Iâve only shown you a taste yet.
The foolishness of Ryu Kang-cheol, who thought that he had overcome everything to this extent.
âAh, by the way, youâd better give up expecting someone to save you. Even your proud comrades wonât be able to save you.â
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.
âThe ghost of the Liberation Brigade.â
