Chapter 265: Sudden Noir
” How much further do we have to go? “
Yoo Seol-ha followed Kyung-joon through the back alleys of Gwacheon.
But it seemed like they were still far from their destination.
It felt like they were going in circles on purpose.
” We’re here. Just over that wall. “
” I heard that last time, but we turned around. “
Just like that, they went back and forth several times in the alley.
” There was a CCTV there. “
” What’s so important that you’re avoiding CCTVs like this…? “
Kyung-joon was obsessively avoiding CCTVs, making the already narrow and complicated alleyway feel like a maze.
It couldn’t be helped.
The place they were headed to was the second most secretive place in Korea.
After several minutes of wandering through alleys, walls, and side streets.
『Bar R.B』
The two arrived in front of a bar in a secluded alley with dark tinted windows.
” Here? “
” Yeah. “
Kyung-joon opened the door without hesitation.
” It’s a bar. We’re minors. “
” Then go back. I don’t care. “
Kyung-joon had already thrown away things like law and being a minor after giving up on humanity.
And if Yoo Seol-ha really wanted to hear his story.
” ……Let’s go. “
She had no choice but to follow.
Creak.
Eventually, Yoo Seol-ha followed Kyung-joon into the bar.
The bar was not yet open and the lights were not even turned on properly.
Instead, there was a well-dressed middle-aged man with a salt-and-pepper beard wiping glasses behind the counter, preparing for the day.
What was a little strange was.
” вы студенты? (Are you students?) “
He was Russian.
” то не место для детей. (This is not a place for children.) “
Thud.
He put down the glass he was wiping and spoke in Russian.
However.
” дети…… посмотрите на это. (Children…… I’d like you to take a look at this first.) “
Kyung-joon had long since eliminated the language barrier with Russia.
” Hmm? “
The bartender raised his eyebrows and looked at Kyung-joon again.
” Russia this time……? “
Yoo Seol-ha felt like she understood what he was saying.
He even speaks Russian.
As expected of the most amazing friend ever.
Anyway.
” ты все еще называешь меня детьми? (Are you still calling me a child?) “
Kyung-joon took out an envelope and handed it to the bartender.
The bartender’s eyes widened as he checked the contents of the envelope.
Then he smiled brightly.
” ах…… извините за мою ошибку. (Oh my…… I apologize for my mistake. I mistook you for someone else.) “
He welcomed Kyung-joon by placing two glasses of water and snacks on the counter.
As they sat down, Yoo Seol-ha whispered.
” ……What did you give him in the envelope? “
” Money. “
” Ah……. “
Yoo Seol-ha immediately understood.
In this day and age, even life can be extended with money. Money talks.
” ……Wait. But the color was just paper. Don’t tell me it was a check? “
” Yeah. “
” Are you rich? “
” Well? Isn’t everyone a commoner in front of the granddaughter of Seolha Group? “
Kyung-joon answered evasively like a snake.
He turned his attention back to the bartender.
The bartender seemed to be looking for something under the counter.
Anyway.
They should order a drink since they were at a bar.
” Two glasses of 30-year-old Black Dragon. “
Kyung-joon ordered in fluent Russian.
” Hmm…… 30-year-old Black Dragon…… You’re a man of culture, I see. “
The bartender furrowed his brows and narrowed his eyes as if he was looking at someone important.
” Unfortunately, we don’t have such a fine liquor at the counter right now. I’ll have to check the storage. Is that alright? “
” Yes. Can I go with you? “
” By all means. “
Kyung-joon got up from his seat again.
At the same time, Yoo Seol-ha complained from the side.
” Why did we even sit down if you were going to do that? And why did he give us water? “
” Why else? To drink. “
Gulp, gulp, gulp.
Kyung-joon immediately drank a glass of water.
” And I was just hacked for a bit. “
” Hacked? “
” Yeah. Check your phone. “
Yoo Seol-ha looked at her smartphone with a puzzled expression at Kyung-joon’s words.
” What the…… roaming……? Why am I in a Bar, Alaska all of a sudden……? This is a city in the Caribbean……. “
” Where are you now? “
” I told you. Huh……? Gambia……? W, Wait a minute…… Are you saying we’re going there now? “
Her smartphone’s location was changing every second.
Kyung-joon had already used this technology himself and knew what it was.
” The place we’re going to is probably a place even your grandfather doesn’t know about. It’s a bit risky taking you, his granddaughter, there but…… there’s someone I want to show you. “
Actually.
There was a problem that could get a little complicated for Kyung-joon.
If he brought her, the granddaughter of Seolha Group, here just once and showed her, he could get over it easily without any problems.
There were other reasons, but that was one of the reasons why Kyung-joon brought Yoo Seol-ha here.
” ……Me? “
” Yes, you. “
” To whom? “
” My friend. “
Kyung-joon followed the bartender to the warehouse and beckoned Yoo Seol-ha to follow him.
” It’s okay. He’s not a dangerous guy. To be honest, I’m the more dangerous one. “
” ……. “
‘Right, I’ve already come this far.’
There’s no turning back now.
It might be dangerous, but if she follows him…….
He suddenly jumped from second to last place.
He dealt with the monster delomel like an assassin in a cartoon.
He climbed up the school building wall to the 4th floor in an instant.
He ran after a subway running at 80km/h.
……She might be able to get an answer to all his inhuman behavior, or at least a glimpse of it.
So.
Yoo Seol-ha tensed up with fear and curiosity about the unknown.
Step.
She followed Kyung-joon.
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
Storage room.
” One moment please. “
The bartender said in Russian and began to move the boxes full of liquor bottles one by one.
The 30-year-old Black Dragon that Kyung-joon had mentioned.
Yoo Seol-ha thought he was probably looking for it.
However.
There’s no such liquor on Earth.
” I’m afraid we don’t have that kind of liquor in our store. “
The bartender shook his head apologetically.
” Is that so? “
Kyung-joon nodded as if he had already expected this reaction.
‘I think he said now was the time.’
The time had come for Kyung-joon to say 『those words』.
” I understand. But I’m a little angry that I can’t drink the liquor I wanted. “
Kyung-joon grabbed his forehead and made a face as if he couldn’t control his anger.
” Is that so? “
The bartender didn’t seem fazed.
Smirk.
Rather, he smiled as if he had already expected this answer.
” Then how about this place? There are a lot of fun things down here. “
Screech.
He pushed aside the heaviest looking box of liquor bottles.
Stairs leading down appeared.
The bartender continued.
” This is the best place to control your anger. “
As soon as he heard those words, Kyung-joon smirked just like the bartender did.
” It would be perfect with a glass of vodka. “
The bartender listened to Kyung-joon’s words.
Slide.
He reached down as if to say, “Come down here.”
” That’s right. Of course. There’s nothing like vodka to control anger. “
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
The first thing that greeted Kyung-joon and Yoo Seol-ha as they went down the stairs was.
A strange smell.
” Ugh…… That smell, don’t tell me……. “
” Cigarettes plus marijuana. “
Kyung-joon was familiar with the latter, even if he wasn’t familiar with the former.
Yoo Seol-ha knows about this too?
” What, have you tried it? “
Come to think of it, on the news, the children of chaebol families were always smoking pot.
” What are you talking about?! Wait…… You too……? “
” Oops. “
Kyung-joon chuckled, as if he had made a slip of the tongue, or rather, as if he was acting like he had.
Of course, Kyung-joon didn’t smoke marijuana.
Because marijuana is…….
” Marijuana is a sedative. It doesn’t really help with studying. “
Actually.
Marijuana is much more addictive and harmful to the body than cigarettes.
Also, if you look at Europe or the United States, there are many areas where marijuana is already legal (although it varies from state to state).
Nevertheless, the reason why the Korean government makes marijuana illegal is probably because marijuana is a sedative, if you want to go with a conspiracy theory.
On the other hand, cigarettes are stimulants, so they are allowed.
” ……Does that matter? “
” It does matter. Stimulants make people work hard, but sedatives make people lazy. “
Kyung-joon pointed to the scene in front of him as he continued down the stairs.
” Look. They’re all hopeless. “
━Ranker nun mobeomsang лучший роман!! (I don’t want to work!!)
━Gengjun лучший писатель!! (You only live once! I just want to have fun!!)
━люблю этот роман больше! (Please love this novel more!)
” Our Korean people, who are famous for being hard-working and diligent, should be playing around like that? “
” Are you serious right now……? “
” No, I’m kidding. “
Kyung-joon chuckled and walked forward.
It was hard to see clearly because of the thick cigarette and marijuana smoke, but the person he was looking for was in the very back…….
” Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh my! Look here, everyone! There’s a four-eyed nerd chink kimchi man here! “
……That’s definitely not him.
The person Kyung-joon wanted to meet would never pick a fight so openly, both in World and in reality.
If that person saw this situation.
He would probably say this.
” Close your eyes. “
” Ghehehehehe! Blyat yo! Ching-chong― “
The moment the Russian, reeking of marijuana, was about to put his index fingers to his eyes in a racist gesture.
” ―Chong……? “
A finger was already in front of his forehead.
Kyung-joon’s finger, ready to flick him.
Flick!
” ……?! “
He couldn’t even scream.
Thud! Thud! Crash! Bang!
He just flew back and crashed into the glasses and casino tables, making a mess.
” Uh…… Uh………. “
He could barely move his fingers, his mouth covered in foam.
Fortunately, he had closed his eyes for a moment, so his eyeballs didn’t pop out.
Instead, a fist-sized blue bruise was forming on his forehead.
━What, what’s going on?!
━Over there……!
━Blyat……! Everyone! Get him!
The surrounding Russians finally grasped the situation and surrounded Kyung-joon and Yoo Seol-ha.
They all had axes, crowbars, and other tools in their hands, as if they had pulled them out of nowhere.
And it wasn’t just tools.
Bang!
There was also a gun.
” Eek?!”
Startled by the sudden sound, Yoo Seol-ha closed her eyes tightly.
━Gasp……!
The guys who were running towards Kyung-joon also stopped in their tracks.
Whoosh…….
The sound of a gunshot.
The gun.
It wasn’t aimed at a person, but at the ceiling.
” Stop it. He’s my guest. “
A short, concise voice.
A voice he had heard countless times in Vladivostok could be heard faintly from the other side of the casino.
━B, Bing Brother…….
The white crowd parted to the left and right, as if by the miracle of Moses.
A figure very familiar to Kyung-joon appeared between them.
” Really…… Bringing the granddaughter of Seolha Group as a worker for your operation…… You’re the first crazy b@stard I’ve ever seen in my mafia life. “
” Hahaha. Do you want your skull caved in too? “
” ……Well, the world’s gone mad, so you might be normal. “
AngerManagementVodka.
This time, he greeted him in Korea.
