“Drugs?”
“Yes.”
Jang Cheol-ho said with a firm expression.
“Some of the Awoken entered the room on medication.”
“Then it may not have been bought in the city, but it could have been bought from another area.”
“Yes. I thought I could too. So, I was quietly pretending not to know, but yesterday the yakpal even approached my subordinate. I want to distribute it to pubs.”
I said with a smile.
“Can I interpret that now to mean that I declined the offer and held it?”
“you’re right.”
The reason why Jang Cheol-ho held the yak-pal and came to me like this and talked as if he was making an excuse was simple.
Just to emphasize that he never distributed it.
Drugs are taboo because people’s daily lives are disrupted, and it is an evil that must be stopped from the standpoint of running a city.
okay.
If it’s a normal city.
“It’s a drug. It’s fun.”
Jang Cheol-ho said with a bewildered expression whether it was the reaction he had expected.
“Yes?”
The two axes of growth of the dungeon city are dungeon goods trading and entertainment.
A city of nightlife where hunters enjoy nightlife with the money they earned from selling goods, and the city rolls with the consumption.
And an essential part of nightlife is drugs.
Especially in the case of hunters, they look for stronger stimulation because they do not get drunk easily thanks to their body strengthened through awakening.
So it was common for Hunters to do drugs in previous lives.
There were also open ways to do it secretly in the dungeon.
But if I beat up a few drug addicts, will I be able to stop the drug?
I got up from my seat and said.
“Let’s go see Yakpal’s face.”
The eerie warehouse of the tavern arrived with the guidance of Jang Cheol-ho.
Inside, a man in his 30s was trembling with his body tied up.
“Is this guy?”
“Yes.”
I approached the yak-pal and said,
“Hmm. They sold drugs in my city.”
“crime. sorry! I will never touch drugs again!”
A medicine arm with blood bruises all over his body.
I looked at Jang Cheol-ho and said.
“Have you ever been questioned?”
“Yes.”
“What did you say?”
“I was just a pyramid that didn’t know anything.”
“Then there’s no point in catching this guy, right?”
At my words, Jang Cheol-ho said with a determined expression.
“I’ll try to stop it somehow.”
I said with a smirk.
“no. no. I’m not saying that, but everyone misunderstands me.”
I said looking at the yakpal.
“What is your crime?”
“crime. sorry! just. Thinking of earning a few more bucks… never again. I will never sell drugs again!”
“no. I am not blaming it.”
I grabbed the little girl’s hair.
“Ouch!!”
“Listen to me carefully.”
Yakpal writhes in pain as he grabs his hair.
“I’m not talking about selling drugs.”
I said with a cold expression.
“The problem is that you dared to do business in my land without my permission.”
For money, he doesn’t care about anything, and he is a poisonous breed that is satisfied only if he owns everything.
However, he banned the second car, and surprisingly, he took care of his own people, thinking that he was just a very toxic person.
So, when there was a sign that the drug was going to be distributed, he informed Jung In-soo before the sparks hit him, but his reaction was completely different from what he expected.
“It is my land. It’s a building I made. These are my landlords and the Awokens I have gathered. But why do you see that virtue?”
Jung In-soo calls the act of selling drugs a virtue.
Then the yakpal who grabbed Jung In-soo’s hair said with a bewildered expression.
“crime. sorry! I’m really sorry!”
“I hate people like you the most.”
Jeong In-soo said with a cold expression.
“Those who covet mine. Those who do what they want without my permission.”
Jung In-soo was offended because he was doing business without his permission, not drugs.
‘I have no objection to drugs.’
“Anyone else but you?”
“I. I don’t know either! I just came here because an acquaintance told me to go and sell it! I gave the contact information to that person over there!”
“Mr. Cheol-ho. Have you contacted me?”
Jang Cheol-ho nodded and said.
“Yes. But I don’t get it. It’s a typical tail cut.”
Jeong In-soo raised an impression at Jang Cheol-ho’s words and said.
“Then the same thing could happen again.”
I replied earlier that I would try to block it as much as possible.
But Jang Cheol-ho felt it.
That it wasn’t the answer Jung In-soo was hoping for.
“···Yes. If there is a buyer, the same thing will happen over and over again.”
And I realized one more thing.
What Jung In-soo said to the drug clerk right now was not to him, but to himself.
I’m also quick-witted
This would be cool enough
I said as I let go of the little boy’s hair.
“Please take care of this guy.”
“Yes. All right.”
When Jang Cheol-ho gestured, his men took Yak-pal and went out of the warehouse.
“Mr. Cheol-ho.”
I said with a smile.
“How do we stop these guys?”
Jang Cheol-ho, who was silent for a moment, said.
“The government had a massive crackdown on prostitution and destroyed the brothels. As a result, however, prostitution did not go away, but spread further into the shadows and more widely. The same goes for this. Once you taste the drug, you can never get out of it. And if there is demand, there must be supply. Especially.”
Jang Cheol-ho looked at me and said.
“If that’s the money.”
Accurate.
You can’t stop the hunters’ drug addiction anyway.
If so, it would be better to move it towards my control.
I’m also earning money.
“Then we have to meet that demand, which means we can prevent this from happening.”
I said with a smile.
“The story is going to be long. Shall we have a drink?”
I poured alcohol to Cheol-Ho Jang and said,
“I really like Cheol-ho.”
“thank you.”
“I had preconceived notions about gangsters. stupid and ignorant people. But after meeting Mr. Cheol-ho, I changed my mind.”
I said with a smile.
“The gangsters of this age can only survive if they are quick-witted. If you think about it, yes. If you’re doing something illegal and you’re not ignorant and stupid, everyone will be caught.”
I looked at Jang Cheol-ho and said.
“Mr. Cheol-ho. Do you do drugs?”
Jang Cheol-ho said silently.
“I’d like to ask first whether this is a business question or a question about the individual.”
“both.”
“From a business standpoint. If it’s a question about me personally, I won’t.”
If given the opportunity, Jang Cheol-ho’s will to try the drug business was shown.
“It’s good. Organizations that even get drunk and flirt with managers don’t work.”
I said with a smile.
“If we can’t stop it anyway, wouldn’t it be right for us to do it? What do you have to do for others?”
“That is correct.”
“But there is a problem.”
I took a sip and said.
“That this is illegal. And I don’t want to take that risk.”
Drugs make money.
But it is dangerous.
Also very.
So you pass the risk on to someone else.
Jang Cheol-ho bowed his head and said.
“I will make sure that the boss is never harmed.”
easy to say
It’s going to be money now, so I’d like to do something about it, but if a problem arises with this later, I’m sure it will attract me by taking advantage of this weakness.
If you don’t save yourself, you’ll die together.
“I like Jang Cheol-ho. But I don’t think that doesn’t mean there is a strong trust between us.”
“How can I trust you?”
In the past, you may have thought that you would rather give up because there was no trust.
But when I stood up, my view of the world changed a bit.
trust?
Do I really need to make it?
“Think of it the other way around. It’s not about how I can trust you.”
I said with a smile.
“How can I not believe it?”
In the end, the desperate person is the first to reach out.
I got up from my seat and said.
“Think about it. If something doesn’t come out that I’m happy with… I don’t do this business.”
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“There is so much work I have to do that I can’t just get caught up in this. Dangerous is just disgusting.”
It’s not about how to trust me, but how can I not help but believe.
From the beginning, Jeong In-soo had more overwhelming power than Jang Cheol-ho.
In other words, influence.
But now, the gap has widened to an even more absurd level.
Even if Jeong In-soo’s Awakening bodyguard attacked, his organization was annihilated.
“Can we really survive without Mr. Jung?”
The Awakening is the peak of violence, and the organizations that continued their business through violence were losing their place.
When trying to put on a dumpster at a bar, it turns out that there are cases where he is completely slaughtered because he is an awakened person.
Jang Cheol-ho, who closed his eyes for a moment and pondered, said.
“There is only one answer…”
To go under the shadow of the strong.
And to gain trust from that strong person.
“You have nothing to lose anyway.”
In fact, Cheolhopa is a group that eats Congo water next to a giant named Jeong In-su.
What was important to such a group was not how much trust they could earn from their host, not the gaze of others.
“…how to earn trust.”
It’s easy to gain trust.
Hue is the goat
Giving the host the chain around his neck.
After thinking for a while, Jang Cheol-ho said to his subordinate.
“Summon everyone.”
“Yes? older brother. What are you doing?”
Jang Cheol-ho said with a firm expression.
“okay. There is something very big going on.”
About 50 members of the organization gathered and began to murmur.
“What’s going on?”
“Is it war?”
“Is that possible? Here is the organization we are dealing with.”
The members of the Cheolho faction have lived more comfortably than ever under the shadow of Jeong In-soo.
At that time, when Jang Cheol-ho appeared, the members of the organization bowed their backs at 90 degrees and said,
“Are you here! older brother!”
“okay.”
Jang Cheol-ho looked at the members of the organization and said.
“Today . . . I received a great offer. A great offer that maybe we will all sit on the money cushion.”
“Oh oh.”
“It’s also your brother. Did President Jung allow us to open another store?”
Jang Cheol-ho said with a calm expression.
“But this proposal is very risky. That’s why we need insurance.”
Jang Cheol-ho took out a bundle of paper and a fan and said.
“Take one of each.”
Jang Cheol-ho said as the members took the paper and fans.
“In there, write down all the sins you have committed illegally in the meantime.”
Then the members of the organization panicked.
“Yes?”
“It is better to have evidence. The more serious the sin, the better. And those sins.”
Jang Cheol-ho said with a determined expression.
“I will decide where you are.”
Papers listing the crimes of gang members.
“These are the proofs.”
I said with a look of interest.
“Oh.”
“And these are my sins.”
Various illegalities and secret ledgers committed while working as a gangster.
It seemed that Jang Cheol-ho had made a big decision.
“With this, we will never disobey President Jung’s instructions.”
“How can you trust me and entrust me with this? What am I going to do if I go to the police station with this right now?”
Jang Cheol-ho said with a calm expression.
“Honestly, I wondered if I would be satisfied with just the current business.”
“That’s the way.”
“But how long will that last? We may lose everything at a word from Mr. Jung. On the other hand, to Mr. Jung, we are an accessory that can be replaced at any time.”
That’s why I like Jang Cheol-ho.
It’s not easy to objectively judge yourself and know fractions.
He also said this while lying on his back.
“So I decided. I’m going to bet everything on Mr. Jung. And if you’re going to do it, make sure to do it. This is enough.”
Jang Cheol-ho said with a smile.
“Would it have been a little bit more upgraded in the accessories?”
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“I like it.”
“Leave the dark work to me. I will make a lot of money with it. And I will share the money with Mr. Jung. Of course, I will take the risk.”
I nodded my head with satisfaction.
“I am satisfied. So let’s talk about business in earnest, shall we?”
“I said I would take the risk, but the best thing is that it doesn’t happen.”
right.
That’s the best.
The reason Jang Cheol-ho was introduced was because we considered the worst-case scenario.
“I plan to organize an organization in the form of a dot organization, just like the yak-pals I had at that time.”
“Easier to cut off the tail?”
“Yes.”
“How do you get medicine?”
“Simple.”
Jang Cheol-ho looked at me and said.
“Initially, we supply drugs at low prices. That’s how you get them addicted to drugs, and then they raise the price. Then he spends his fortune on drugs.”
“And?”
“Then I propose. Are you thinking of selling drugs? That’s how the yak pals make the yak pals and then the yak pals.”
I thought for a while and said.
“Then you mean to supply drugs to the general public?”
Jang Cheol-ho looked at me and said.
“I thought so, but if the boss objected, I wouldn’t do it.”
The general public is in trouble.
Hunter, he has such a strong body that he can withstand drugs well, but when drugs spread to the general public, the entire city loses power.
All I want is to sell drugs to the hunters and suck the hunters’ money.
I have no intention of sucking up people’s nose money.
“Let’s limit ourselves to the Awakened.”
“But that simplifies the organization too much. They are much more vulnerable to crackdowns.”
“Hmm···”
taken from noblemt l
Money is money, but I also wanted to try controlling the drug hunters using this.
Because the drug hunters have always been troublemakers in their past lives.
“Let’s think about it for a moment. Are there any good numbers?”
