314. Blood Letter and Will

The skunk in the southeast stood like a stone statue.

Looking back and forth between the blazing annex and me with eyes filled with disbelief.

“her?”

All he could do was laugh in vain.

I farted.

“Why are you looking so surprised?”

It’s not my first time seeing a burning house.

“No way… to summon the elder… … .”

“I told you I didn’t want to wait long.”

We took into consideration the circumstances of the sick person and gave them sufficient time.

At least ten times more than usual.

For a whole 30 minutes.

“But I didn’t think they would just burn down the annex for no reason.”

“I told you so. Did you take it lightly, thinking it was just a child’s words?”

I smiled brightly.

“I’m going to burn it all down.”

“Huh, so you’re not just talking about the blood oath?”

“You said you could handle it?”

“Huh… …! Heh heh.”

The skunks in the southeast laughed repeatedly.

In contrast to his men, who were busy carrying buckets of water while looking thoughtful.

The southeastern skunk slowly stroked his face.

“I didn’t think that would happen.”

The southeastern skunk glanced around.

The gasoline cans brought by Maljukgeori Maldaega are full of sponsorship.

A large number of people mobilized by Myeongdong Songgolmae and others lined up.

“It exceeded my expectations.”

“You are a humble gentleman. Why are you already talking about expectations for something like this?”

“Huh? Simple?”

“I haven’t even started proper negotiations yet?”

I snapped my fingers.

As if he had been waiting, the Grim Reaper rose up like smoke.

“Then the question is, where do you think I should call?”

Not only did the guardian angel not call my name, but it didn’t even glance at me, so it quickly disappeared.

On the other hand, as soon as my signal was given, the squeaky-tongued horse grumbled and threw the gasoline can he was spraying into the flames of the annex as if it was nothing.

“Oh, this is going to be tough! Let the kids do their job, there are so many of them! So, how can I help you?”

“Please contact me.”

“Where should I call? The gang? The gas station? Or the knife guys?”

The southeastern skunk glared.

“Gangsters, gas stations, knife wielders?”

“Why? Do you think I can’t call you? Have you ever heard of the great disaster of public power?”

“Are you planning to invite a court official or a police officer into this house? This is where the master lives! How far are you planning to destroy the Jeong family’s mansion?”

A skunk from the southeast glared at me fiercely.

“Trying to involve outside forces in household affairs? It’s against the rules.”

“When did you ever tell me to follow the Jeong family rules?”

I poked my chest with my index finger.

“Is this your first time here today?”

“… … .”

“The house is really running smoothly, isn’t it?”

“……ha.”

The southeastern skunk was dry-washing nervously.

“Even so, that’s true. Do you think you would set fire to the house right away when you first meet someone, on your first visit?”

“Then what are we going to do? Solve it to the best of our ability, skill, and cleverness?”

“her……!”

I shrugged.

“If you feel wronged, report it.”

Even if you do that, you won’t be able to report it!

The moment you report arson to the police, everyone will come rushing in with fire in their eyes.

Under the pretext of solving reported cases, they’ll start sweeping away the ledgers.

“I guess I’ll go back. If that’s the case, then I’ll calculate all of this and set fire to it… … .”

The skunk from the southeast let out a long sigh, his face showing signs of frustration.

“No matter what, it’s like that! This annex, this house, this mansion… …!”

“Isn’t that my job?”

I dug my eardrum with my little finger.

“I won’t be passing this house down to my grandmother anyway.”

“… … !”

They say this family doesn’t give a single penny of their wealth to outsiders.

So, even though she was clearly a member of the Jeong family, they excluded my grandmother.

“What is this nightmare-like corner of the house where only duties were imposed on our father?”

My father came into this house when he was only six years old.

It was this corner of the house that had driven our father to the edge of the cliff, showing him all sorts of dirty tricks from a young age.

How hard must it have been for you to run away shivering?

So how can this corner of the house look pretty to my eyes?

“Since you can’t take your property with you when you die, why don’t you burn some of your land as well to use as money for the journey to the afterlife?”

“this……!”

“Anyway, this mansion is also the property of the next leader who is not related to the Jeong family by blood?”

I nailed it again.

“Look. Isn’t that my job?”

“Of course, what our Jeonghyeok says is right!”

The grandmother who had been sitting in the sponsor’s pavilion stamped her foot loudly.

“Is it a big deal to burn down the annex? Oh, if it’s that bad, the landlord should come out and ask about it!”

The grandmother shouted at the rambling horse.

“What are you staring at? Shouldn’t you hurry up and spray some gasoline?”

“I… … are you talking about?”

“Then should I root it out instead of you?”

“Haa… … . You see? I heard there’s a gasoline can. Where should I spray it?”

“Shoot everything you see! Burn down every single corner of this damn house!”

The grandmother rolled up her sleeves and grumbled.

“I’ll see if this raccoon-like bastard will come out even if he’s about to burn to death, or not!”

“ha ha ha.”

A sharp laugh, accompanied by a ragged cough, came from behind the skunk to the southeast.

A skinny man in a wheelchair, wrapped in a blanket, with all sorts of IV drips hanging from his body.

“I’ve never received such a hot call sign in my life.”

He burst into a loud laugh as he looked at the blazing annex.

“Welcome. Welcome to the Jeong family.”

He was the head of the Jeong family.

* * *

“ha ha ha!”

The head of the Jeong family, Elder Jeong Dong-jin, burst into another hearty laugh.

“So, what I meant when I asked you to guess where I was calling… … .”

“Where? The fire station, of course.”

“Hahahaha!”

Elder Jeong Dong-jin laughed, wiggling his skinny fingers.

Pointing to the southeast skunk and the horse head.

“Yeah, even though he was watching the whole house burn down, this guy was talking about the gas station and the gangsters, and that guy was talking about the police and the prosecutors.”

Those were serious words.

The two people averted their eyes as the point was hit hard.

But the skinny man’s eyes swept over them sharper than a knife.

“Have you forgotten that I’m still alive in this house?”

“No, sir!”

“I’m sorry, sir!”

The two immediately knelt down.

The skinny man, Jeong Dong-jin, looked around the room with sharp, sharp eyes.

Myeongdong Songgolmae, who was leaning on a cane, slightly bowed his waist, and Jongno Geumtooth, who was in a wheelchair, lowered his head.

Mrs. Kkachisan Bang, who was pushing the wheelchair of the Jongno Gold Teeth, smiled awkwardly.

“Sir, you seem more energetic than usual today.”

“This is an important interview, so you can’t let your guard down.”

“That red ringer is a big strain on the body… … .”

“Are you trying to scold me now?”

“I’m sorry. I made a mistake. Please forgive me.”

Mrs. Kkachisan Bang also quickly knelt down.

Elder Jeong Dong-jin turned his gaze away from them and towards me.

“Be honest. If I hadn’t come out then, wouldn’t the fire department have been the place you were calling?”

“Of course.”

I smiled broadly.

“As you know.”

“ha ha ha.”

Elder Jeong Dong-jin burst into loud laughter as if he was happy.

It was a laughter mixed with a thick cough and a raspy sound.

“And it wasn’t just the annex that they were going to burn down?”

“While you’re at it, I hope you’ll burn my father’s blood letter as well.”

“With my mouth closed?”

I never thought that the words I often say would come out of the mouth of an old man in Jeongdongjin.

“Of course I would ask for it with my bare hands?”

A request must be accompanied by sincerity.

I learned it from my mother’s death.

“I will pay a generous price for something that will satisfy you, sir.”

“Hmm. Before we discuss how to pay for it, I think we should first consider whether it’s worth it.”

Elder Jeong Dong-jin rubbed his chin.

The back of his skinny hand was filled with all sorts of medical devices and various IV drips.

“I’ll be honest with you. The blood letter Sungjun wrote isn’t worth as much as my will.”

“I know.”

“And yet, you ask for a blood oath instead of a will… … Does that mean you have no interest in my family’s property?”

“All of the property and rights of this house belong to the successor who will carry on the elder’s will.”

I smiled broadly.

“If my father had written a blood oath when he left this house, it would have been a statement giving up all rights to it.”

“Then that is an even more strange request. Why not just ask them to change the will?”

“Do you have any intention of amending your will?”

“Of course not.”

The sharp gaze of the old man Jeong Dong-jin stabbed me like an awl.

It was an eye that tried to gauge my insides, my intentions, and my goals.

“But even if you push that blood oath, you won’t get a single penny after I’m dead. Is it really necessary?”

“Then let me ask you. Why didn’t you properly write about the next successor in your will?”

“… … !”

The gaze that had been piercing like an awl suddenly wavered greatly.

“If the part about succession is omitted from the will, these people here will suspect each other and fight to the death, knowing full well.”

It wasn’t just the elderly Jeong Dong-jin.

The five closest aides, as well as the grandmother, looked at Elder Jeong Dong-jin with their mouths wide open and their eyes wide in surprise.

The moment when the eyes of the old man Jeong Dong-jin suddenly became as dark and deep as the abyss.

“How did you know?”

The voice, as low as the eyes, grumbled.

“No one here would have really known about my will.”

A bleak gaze swept over the people gathered there.

No one dared make eye contact with Elder Jeong Dong-jin.

Everyone lowered their eyes to the floor.

Except me.

“Don’t even think about talking about a lawyer who is already dead.”

“I don’t really have any intention of doing that?”

I answered indifferently.

“Why are you making such a fuss over something that anyone can figure out if they just think about it a little?”

“… … !”

No, why is everyone looking at me with such suspicious eyes?

Except for the elderly in Jeongdongjin.

“If someone saw you, they would think you had some dirty secret in mind. Wouldn’t they?”

“That’s interesting.”

“I’m not having fun. I keep doing useless things that tire my father out, so how can I, as his son, have fun?”

I spread out my palms.

“That’s why I’m asking for it at the cost of my life. I want you to burn my father’s blood oath right here, right now.”

“Why should I do that?”

“I think that if you were an old man, you would have changed the contents of the blood letter that my father wrote himself to something completely different.”

Elder Jeong Dong-jin stared at my palm without saying a word.

“The blood oath is strictly about the succession of the Jeong family, right? So only my father and you know its contents?”

“… … .”

“So who knows? If one of the parties rewrites it and dies, the remaining person has no way to prove their innocence.”

The eyes of the old man Jeong Dong-jin gradually become darker and more serene.

“If you don’t like me, just say so. Why do you insist on putting my father in the middle of a fight?”

“… … .”

A heavy silence fell on the room.

After a long time, the skinny man, Jeong Dong-jin, smiled faintly.

“My sister has been telling me that there is only one person who can succeed me. For over 20 years.”

Sparks were flying like blue sparks in the deep, pit-like eyes of the old man Jeong Dong-jin.

“I am a person who has never gone back on my words since I was born.”

“… … !”

Everyone looked back at Elder Jeong Dong-jin with shocked faces.

Elder Jeong Dong-jin didn’t care.

“Fighting against a given environment is also a skill.”

Elder Jeong Dong-jin laughed.

“I think Sungjun has that kind of ability.”

“So you’re saying that you’re going to throw our father into this war and tell him to get out of it as best he can?”

“A man should be able to do that much. Especially if he is the man who will succeed me.”

Oh, that’s why my father says he has no attachment to this corner of the house!

“So you blocked it on purpose?”

“what?”

“My dad’s breathing.”

“No way. I sent him back with his life and limbs intact.”

“That’s what my mother said.”

There was one question that had been on my mind for a very long time.

“The news about our mother, who Secretary Kim couldn’t find even after trying, suddenly disappeared without a trace.”

I looked straight at the old man Jeong Dong-jin.

“Is it your elder’s doing to block all movements and information in the Middle East?”

Elder Jeong Dong-jin moved his thin facial muscles like a mummy.

It was a green smile.

“okay.”

He admitted it readily.
