Episode 58

puck!

The back of the man who had been groping Anna’s body bent vertically.

His eyes grew wide as if they were going to pop out, and a rough moan burst from his mouth.

It was a vital point.

Anna’s shin kicked him right between his legs.

No matter how strong a man was, he was helpless against a heart attack.

Why else would they prohibit attacking that area during fights between men?

It was a brutal attack that could not be resisted or resisted.

As he fell to the ground, the rest of them grabbed Anna’s hair and shouted harsh curses at her.

Right then.

The wrist that was holding my hair was twisted in an instant.

“Ahh! Let go! Won’t you let go?”

It was Youngman’s hand.

Young-man, who had been twisting his wrist, pushed the bastard away.

In an instant, a dark handprint remained on my wrist, almost like a tattoo.

It was a tremendous evil force.

But they weren’t the type of people to be intimidated by that.

“Is this old man losing his mind? He wants to smell some incense?”

“These guys are being too joking. Who would want to smell incense while performing my ancestral rites in these times?”

“You should do such trashy jokes behind a screen!”

One of the guys threw a punch.

puck!

The fist landed squarely on Youngman’s face.

The problem was that the face wouldn’t turn.

He pushed hard several times, but it didn’t budge.

“Every man should be responsible for his actions.”

Youngman pushed away the fist stuck in his face and stretched out his hand at the speed of light.

The tip of his finger hit the nail on the head.

Ugh!

With a spit-spitting sound, the bastard grabbed his throat and retreated.

But that was just the beginning.

As I kicked his shin, the hand that had been holding his neck went down.

Cry again.

“Ugh!”

The men standing next to him were frozen by Youngman’s lightning-quick attack.

But that was only for a moment.

At best, it was just an old man.

“Did you get some exercise? Still, you won’t be able to do business in Dagul.”

“Kill him!”

Several people rushed towards Yeongman at once.

Among them, there was one who ran at me holding a brick.

Young-man caught the kick coming from the front and twisted his ankle.

The bastard rolled on the floor with a loud thud, followed by fists flying from both sides.

But one of the fists disappeared without even reaching Youngman.

The guy who rolled around on the floor several times barely managed to get up by holding onto his side.

A tall man stood in front of Youngman and Anna.

It was Lee Beom-sik.

But the men who saw Beomsik twisting his neck and walking his arms were startled one after another.

Moreover, unexpected and absurd words came out of their mouths.

“older brother?”

Beomsik’s head turned slightly.

As the frown slowly returned to its original position, one of them knelt down urgently.

“Brother! Are you alive?”

As one of them screamed and knelt down, the rest followed suit as if they had been waiting.

“If someone saw me, they would think I was filming a movie.”

Anna shook her head in childishness.

“Are they friends you know?”

“Just… my younger siblings.”

Beomsik answered Youngman’s question with a sigh.

Then he looked down at them with a pitiful expression.

The four men were completely frozen by the gaze that was almost contemptuous, something they had never seen before.

“Get up, people, I see.”

“Yes, brother.”

As the tattoos hurriedly got up from their seats, Beomsik took a step closer and spoke quietly.

“Do you know who that woman is?”

“I didn’t know. I really didn’t know you were related to my brother.”

Anna thought that he was trembling like a mouse in front of a cat.

‘No, is there a rabbit in front of a tiger?’

Even though the change of stance was fast, it was too fast.

“You touched someone you shouldn’t have touched. Anna, who touched you?”

“Okay, just like that. I can tell from the look of it that I won’t do that again. If you said so, I’d jump into the Han River right away, but I don’t really want to do that. Let me go.”

The tattoos’ eyes sparkled at Anna’s great answer.

however…….

“As expected of sister-in-law!”

“what?”

Anna’s face hardened.

“Thank you, sister-in-law!

“Just kill him. That bastard, the one who just called me sister-in-law.”

“Huh! Oh, no… Sister-in-law, why are you doing that?”

“Quick! Kill him quickly!”

Anna’s shrill screams pierced my ears.

Beomsik’s face also darkened.

Sister-in-law out of the blue.

If you get it wrong, you got it wrong a lot.

Beomsik wiped his face as if he was tired.

“Ha, why are you talking nonsense… … .”

“I’m sorry, brother.”

“Since I committed a sin, I should pay the price, right?”

“That, that, yes, brother.”

The bastard’s chin was shaking like crazy.

The pale face was as if he had lost his mind and seen the grim reaper.

How scary is Lee Beom-sik that he has to react like this?

“Listen carefully, everyone. From this moment on, that woman will never die before any of you. Do you know what I mean?”

“Yes, brother!”

The four of them answered loudly, as if they had made a promise.

“I trust you. And don’t do anything gangster-like. If you get caught, I’ll turn you into a eunuch.”

“Yes, brother!”

“The answer is small and brief.”

“yes.”

They covered their mouths as if they were idiots.

It was an incredible charisma that was hard to believe even when you saw it with your own eyes.

People who thought of Beomsik as just a tall, white guy were all over the place shaking their heads.

The tightrope walker who was a pickpocket is even more so.

The border area, where there were no sanctions except for work, was a place where fights and disputes occurred almost every day.

So, after much thought, the foreman came to this conclusion.

When a fight broke out, all involved, whether the perpetrator or the victim, were to be taken to the soldiers.

Without doing so, proper management could not be achieved.

Because there were so many people and there wasn’t enough staff to manage the site.

The stress they were under was also not negligible.

“What? Who’s fighting?”

The foreman appeared with his entourage.

He was probably watching the situation from a distance.

“Is that you?”

One of his aides asked.

But Beomsik ignored him and bumped his shoulder as he left the scene.

The foreman, angry at the sight, gritted his teeth and turned around.

“Hey, stand there. Do you want to be dragged away?”

“Try it.”

“what?”

As soon as he turned around, Beomsik’s provocation that he blurted out so casually made the foreman’s face distort like a crumpled piece of paper.

I thought something like this would happen someday.

This all happened because of the retarded actions of his close associates.

In times like these, it was important to set a good example.

Even if it makes one guy a cripple.

“Does this crazy kid know who he is fooling?”

The foreman who had been swearing took out the baton he had on his waist and walked away without hesitation.

Perhaps because he was conscious of people’s gaze, his actions were more daring.

but…….

In an instant, four large men blocked the way.

The guys with tattoos all over their bodies were the ones who had just been kneeling in front of Beomsik.

The foreman didn’t understand for a moment.

I couldn’t hear the conversation because I was far away, but I witnessed the fight anyway and for some reason they lost.

But then suddenly you said you would protect me.

“Aren’t you going to get out of the way?”

“Do you know who you just cursed at?”

“That’s my part-time job… … .”

“It looks like he’s wearing armor on his stomach. Well, judging from the way he’s eating, it looks like it’s so oily that it doesn’t seem like it’ll go in even if you poke it.”

The man who had called Anna ‘sister-in-law’ turned around and poked the foreman in the stomach with the end of a branch.

Then the other guys behind him added their words.

“If poking doesn’t work, just cut it to the side, damn it! Try dragging it, either you or us. But you have to be prepared. We’ll never die alone.”

“Put that club down, kid. If you don’t want to get beaten like a dog with it.”

“Hey, okay, let’s just bury it now. Or throw it outside the wall. These guys don’t understand with words. You saw it a few days ago, when they called some punks and dragged them away because they had a fight. They haven’t come yet. They’re going to be dragged away anyway, so let’s finish it now.”

“You don’t just look like a hog for the world.

As everyone took turns opening their mouths, the one who had been poking my stomach with the branch spoke in a soothing voice.

“I’ll treat you like I used to in front of people, so just pretend this never happened.”

“If you don’t do it?”

The foreman was no ordinary person either.

He asked without even blinking an eye.

“Do you think I’m trying to negotiate now? I’m just informing you, so just know that. Don’t show off and get behind me. No one’s going to make a fuss over you being left lying around as a corpse.”

The foreman, who had been looking at his entourage for a moment, nodded as if he had made up his mind and stepped back.

Then he spoke loudly, conscious of the people.

“This case is being overlooked due to a misunderstanding, but listen carefully. If you cause trouble, I will drag you all away without any mercy. I don’t know where I went after I was taken over by the soldiers. No one has come back yet. Do you know? I will throw you outside.”

The people who had gathered became lost in thought and dispersed.

“So let’s be considerate of each other and get along well!”

With those words, everyone returned to their seats.

The foreman was standing there alone, glaring at Beomsik and his group as they walked away, as if he was going to kill them.

Beomsik returned to the tent and circled around Anna in silence.

Anna was annoyed by Beomsik’s behavior of sitting close to her and eating, which was unusual.

“What? Why are you doing that?”

Young-man and Hyun-soo, who were eating nearby, looked around for no reason at the annoyed words.

“What am I?”

“Stop being clingy and go eat. What’s wrong?”

“No, I… … .”

“Are you sorry? Is that why you did this?”

Instead of answering, Beomsik continued eating.

Although he couldn’t bring himself to say it, it seemed like he wanted to apologize on behalf of his younger siblings.

Could it be because of his unusual attitude?

Anna, who was about to say something, stopped being annoyed and focused on eating.

Hyunsoo, who had been silently observing the situation, looked at Youngman’s face and asked.

“But sir, is your face okay?”

“Face? Why?”

“You were right earlier, right?”

“Oh, it’s okay, this much. I’d rather be bitten by a mosquito.”

Young-man said, stroking his swollen cheekbone.

Anyone can see that it’s swollen, but a mosquito bite would hurt more.

“Pfft! Sir, you’re showing off a bit.”

“You’re bluffing… Let’s just say you’re relaxed.”

“Doesn’t it really hurt? Shouldn’t you at least apply some medicine?”

“Eat some food. If you don’t have enough, eat some for me too.”

“It’s okay. It’s not tasty and it doesn’t require much effort. But why are those people doing that?”

In the place that Hyunsoo pointed to, Beomsik’s subordinates were sitting in a row, eating.

As if standing guard to prevent anyone from passing by where the group is.

“I guess they’re doing that to protect Beomshik and Anna. It’s really funny how they wag their tails like pet dogs in front of their masters. I just thought they were trash.”

“What… Your actions earlier were trash.”

“Still, it’s not easy for a man to follow someone. It’s even harder to respect someone and bow your head to them.”

“Hey, that’s too much. All the gangsters are the same. Where’s the respect or anything?”

Young-man laughed at Hyun-soo’s words.

“You’re still young, so you probably don’t know. I felt a strange emotion when I looked into their eyes. Of course, Beomsik was afraid of this guy, but he also truly respected him. It was a look of admiration. That’s not something you can see easily. I know because I experienced it myself.”

“Have you experienced it?”

“Whether they’re gangsters or soldiers or organized crime, they’re all the same. In the end, they’re all people who have the same goal, and they create a hierarchy to control those people. If they deviate from that, they’re severely punished. The world they live in is also the world people live in. Of course, that doesn’t mean that that world is right. But it’s also problematic to think that it’s wrong unconditionally.”

“Hey, that’s not right. It’s wrong to live while harming others. That’s what gangsters usually do. They’re a bunch of people who live off other people’s backs.”

“As you get older, many things become ambiguous. Young people think that as you get older, you become wiser and more precise about what is right and wrong, but at least I don’t think so. It all depends on how you think. If you look at them that way, you’ll never be friends with them. There’s nothing wrong with knowing people in this world. In the end, people are your assets. After all, life is about being born through people, meeting people, and ending with parting.”

“I see… … .”

Hyunsoo nodded in agreement.

Completely unaware that poisonous eyes were staring at me from afar.

Infected people
