150: One glance and see (7)
“Linda, what’s wrong?”
“No, Bay. I have nothing.”
I was startled by Linda’s call. She was usually in contact with SNS all day long.
Although the body is separated, they maintained a bond as if they were actually attached 24 hours a day through SNS. This is because the Warrior smoothly handled her messages that came in whenever she had time.
Unlike Hwaryeong, who sends a text message about once a day, Dain and Linda’s messages flew in and out. To respond to their messages, I had to hold my phone all day long.
Thanks to the Warrior, he was relieved of that situation, so he was very relieved. It was like monitoring the minute-to-minute movement in near real-time. Thanks to him, he was able to work comfortably.
But suddenly, a phone call came from her. Because she could not understand her English, her anxiety slowly lifted her head.
“Pietro looked for you and contacted you to the point that it bothered you.”
“…and what do I say… I got a report from McKay this morning. But why does that lazy bastard keep bothering you?”
“I don’t know why. Even if I ask, he doesn’t answer and he keeps begging me to contact you…”
Linda’s voice was subtly raised. She seemed to be quite annoyed with her as well.
“okay! Please change him.”
“Yes, honey! Call here, Pietro…”
“Hey, Bay. It’s a big deal!”
“What’s so big that you’ve been looking for someone else’s girl since morning?”
“···that is···.”
Cheol-woo’s tone didn’t come out well either. It was morning in New York. If he had been in New York, he might have turned the back of the guy who had been attacking him since morning.
It was then that he realized his mistake and shut his mouth. Hearing the voice over the phone made his body shudder.
“Stop making excuses. If something like this happens again, then there will be no chance to hear the word ‘again’.”
“Ah Okay. But this is really urgent. But I don’t know your number, so…”
“Tell me your business in a nutshell!”
“…we got information that the Corleonesi guys are going to send an advance squad to New York. If they crawl into New York, they’ll take advantage of our weakness…”
“Are you sure of the information? When and who is coming over?”
“The information is clear. It’s from our side in Sicily. It is not clear when, but within a few months if not.”
“what! Are you bothering me and Linda with something that hasn’t happened yet? Can you still be called the head of the Cosanostra? hem!”
“Hey, hey. It’s because our forces haven’t been reorganized yet…”
“It sounded like maintenance and I got nauseous. So, do all your enemies only fight when you are perfectly prepared? Did such a thing ever happen in the world?”
“… well, it’s not like that…”
Pietro’s voice crawled in.
It wasn’t that Cheol-woo didn’t understand his heart. It was in the process of reassembling the scattered organization.
It was at this time that the family’s greatest rival and enemy, the Corleonesi family, reached out to New York. As an inexperienced person, he was terrified.
However, with this level of distribution, it could never stand in that position for long. It was clear that no matter how they tried to prevent the invasion from the outside, it would eventually collapse due to betrayal from within.
That was the fate of the forces united around profit. In fact, it didn’t matter if he died or not, but if that happens, the business system centered on Linda will also be shaken.
‘And the promise with Dario is also caught… Damn it, I can’t!’
The terms of his alliance with Pietro’s uncle Dario included a promise to keep the idiot until he could stand alone. He didn’t know if he didn’t have the ability, but he felt reluctant to ignore it simply because it was annoying.
“Pietro, listen to me.”
“What, what is it…?”
Cheol-woo’s tone suddenly became kinder, and he was also very bewildered. He seemed to have a bad feeling for some reason, but for now he had no choice but to follow what Cheol-woo said.
“Steve of G Company will come to Korea soon. Then you too, follow him over this way.”
“My, I… in Korea…?”
“Yeah, if you don’t vomit and come, come right away. you alone… Then all your problems will go away.”
“But I’m too busy to make preparations before they come in…”
“I just told you not to vomit! You just do what you’re told. I’ll take care of the rest. okay?”
“…Yes, I understand.”
“You don’t need subordinates, so don’t come with a bodyguard…”
“yes! okay.”
The man answered in a shrill voice. As you can see, this guy wasn’t a very naive guy either.
At least with this kind of feeling, he wouldn’t have crawled into his deathbed. So I thought that if I did some mental training and handled it properly, I would do my part to some extent.
Since I decided to take care of these bastards, adding one more pietro to it didn’t make it any harder. At this point, he decided to instill evil and bullying into his unconscious.
After a moment of silence, Linda picked up the phone again. And the small talk continued for a while.
Pietro had already left the house with his shoulders drooping, she told me. Pietro had already been erased from her mind.
After a moderately pleasant conversation, I ended the call with Linda. At the entrance of the FNK building, Dain was running out with gunfire.
“Damn, are you going to my office until the weekend?”
“Dain went to the practice room and had some free time… Huh!”
As Cheol-woo entered, Geum-ryong gave a trembling expression. He felt like seeing each other almost every day after going on a business trip.
“Why not just set up an office in the building next door? It’s almost like eating lunch here.”
“I thought about whether it would be me too, but if I ate it alone, it didn’t taste very good…”
“Damn it, so I’m going to keep eating here. So… what else would you like me to order for you today?”
“Oh, I already told the kids to place their orders when we came in. A bowl of special Jjamppong with fried rice. What are you going to do?”
“Ac, what are you bothering about ordering separately? Just do the same thing.”
“OK. big! Here’s another one with the same thing!”
“Yes, brother! I will place the order right away.”
When Cheol-woo shouted at the door, the big man outside answered it. Geumryong shook his head with an absurd expression on his natural appearance.
“But why are you so upset?”
“Heh! It’s because this guy’s reorganization shows no signs of ending. What!”
“Isn’t that over yet?”
“Sibol, if you put this guy down, the other guy will react, and if you put one of that guy’s coat on, another guy will pout…. I’m almost confused if I’m the boss or if they’re the bosses. However, it is impossible to make a sick person and retire it…”
Geumryong grumbled as he wrapped his head around his head as he was talking. Everything seemed to be twisted because the greetings were all over the place, and the balanced arrangement didn’t go as planned.
“If it’s so hard to digest, you can just vomit the area you ate. While telling them to live on their own…”
“Then will the organizations around you stand still? The yolk land is far away, so you can’t just look at it. And even if you just throw it away, in the end, all those you’ve thrown away will go into other organizations and become enemies, right? In the end, they’re all going to shoot at me…”
As Geumryong answered, he ripped his hair out, perhaps even more frustrated. With that personality, it was amazing to sit in the office.
“I heard that being a gangster is also very stressful. From the outside, it seems like they’re just dying like a caravan…”
“If I had known that gangsters were doing this, I would never have stepped in here. It’s too late now, so I’m struggling like this not to die…”
“Is your retirement day going to be your anniversary?”
“No, there is no such thing as retirement. Unless I set up a proper succession…”
“However, there is no sense of succession.”
“Yeah, it was the hardest thing in the world to find someone who could run this organization soundly without hitting the back of my head.”
“Hmm! How come it seems that your situation is similar to those of the chaebol presidents…?”
“hey! Compared to those guys, I’m at the level of a hole-in-the-wall shop, but he’s a guy who started with his bare hands and made his way into a family. You treat me like a friend, when I go out, my official title is the president. Why is this…”
“Sheesh! Its president is… These days, both dogs and cows are presidents…”
“So I try to be that dog or cow. Are you okay?”
The food was delivered between the two of them fighting. The dishes were moved one by one on the desk lined with newspaper.
Whoops, hey!
Cheol-woo teased his chopsticks, admiring the oily and spicy soup that he could not get tired of eating or eating. Then he told Geumryong, who was savoring the crispy sweet and sour pork that was served.
“By the way, let me ask you one thing!”
“There are several guys who need to do some laundry. Catch them and find a place to train them.”
“About how many?”
“About 20 people. It would be better if there was a place to sleep and feed about 30 people. I wish there was a mountain close to where it would be difficult to escape.”
“Then you’ll need someone to watch over, right?”
“I’ll take care of that, so don’t worry…”
Geumryong, who had been rolling his eyes without saying a word at Cheolwoo’s words, snapped his fingers as if he remembered something. A playful smile appeared on his lips.
“There is a place I found out to use this time, but…”
“Where is that?”
“Close. Incheon!”
“Incheon, is there such a place in Incheon?”
“Have you ever heard of Silmido?”
“Silmido, isn’t that place used as a filming location? I heard that it is a small island with no place to sleep on private land…”
“The big island connected to Silmido is Muuido. It can be reached by car from Yeongjongdo Island, and it is quite famous as a tourist attraction for dramas. There is a fairly steep mountain there, and there are not many clearings inside that mountain. I was thinking of going there for organizational training this time.”
“It’s a no-brainer….”
Unintentional terrain was reflected on Cheol-woo’s retina. Along the small mountain called Guksabong Peak, the gloomy mountains continued.
There was only one bridge to the island, so it was difficult to escape. As Geumryong said, there were many pensions in the lower part of the island, but even private houses in the upper part were rare.
“Is there a place for people to stay as a group?”
“Then, a few years ago, I had a group summer vacation there with my younger brothers.”
Finding a laundromat was easier than I thought. If you lock the bastards over there and roll them, they will turn into clean rags.
“Okay, I have business to do in Incheon, so I’ll have to stop by there at least once.”
“If you go, you will like it because it is quiet. But now that summer is over, it must be quite chilly in the mornings and evenings… Are you okay?”
“It’s okay, I won’t feel the chill at all. Huh!”
Cheol-woo, who emptied the fried rice with the jjamppong soup, wiped his lips and laughed slyly. Seeing this, Geumryong felt chills down his spine without realizing it.
Gee geek! Bread!
It was on the way home with Dain after training in the evening. It was a secret between the two of us that we sneaked into the Han River Park in the middle.
It was the moment when I opened the window inside the warm car and entered the neighborhood alley. At the entrance to the alley, a car rang the Klaxon to signal.
