185: Weave and see (2)
“What, the two of you went to the bar…the bakery, are you sure?”
“Yeah, your aide contacted me a while ago.”
The news was so surprising that Hwaryeong jumped up from his seat. Even her brainy woman could not help but be embarrassed by the completely different development from her expectations.
The original plan was this. As a result of investigating the surroundings, the fox like Dain had already possessed Cheol-woo’s parents.
I believed in that and analyzed that it was going out so strong. So she was thinking of establishing her and her united front in the situation that Linda came to her Korea.
Just by looking at the situation, I expected that Linda would not give up on Cheol-woo easily. She believed that once she had a taste of the poisonous Dain, she would naturally unite with herself, and that she would crush the poison of Dain together.
“Then why did the two of them get along? Linda, it could be, but I would never accept Dain and the girl…”
In a situation that I could not understand, I only bit my prickly nails. Above all, if the two of them unite and attack in the opposite direction, there was a sufficient possibility that he, who had a weak support base, would be pushed out.
“Now is not the time to be like this, we must separate them before it is too late!”
“Hey, boss! No matter how urgent you are, you have to pay before you go…”
The chief of staff exclaimed earnestly while chasing Hwaryeong who was running away. However, the image of her already lost in other places had not disappeared.
“Eww! Are you crazy again?”
“Ah! How… I have a date today?”
“What, did you have a man? Talent is good too. At what point did a bitch who works overtime every day flirt with a man?”
The secretarial staff who saw the chief’s disappointment all cried together. It was their karma with a boss who was addicted to work and mad in love.
“Five! The scenery is very deadly.”
“her! A good place to gamble… Huh!”
As soon as they heard that the killer had been caught, Steve and Brian rushed to the Pharaoh Hotel. Steve, who talked with Cheol-woo, was anxious to see the possibility of Pharaoh Hotel Casino with his own eyes.
So I flew to Korea with Linda. Even with a lump called Brian that I didn’t expect.
And the moment he saw it with his own eyes, he smelled a jackpot that he had only felt once in his life. If only half of the conditions mentioned by Cheolwoo were applied, the possibility of success of the project was very high.
If that includes the cheap airfare and lodging he said… This was a business he could never fail.
“By the way, you just rolled this to the level of a hole-in-the-wall shop? Oh my gosh, it’s because there’s no one who can see things like this, twitch!”
“You wouldn’t have known if the boss hadn’t told you.
Brian, who was standing next to him, walked on the other side. As he said, he was very skeptical until Cheol-woo told the key strategy of sales.
“No matter how much I am, I can’t help but not know unless I see it in person. You talk like you knew everything?”
“It was me, of course I believed. It’s not a matter of knowing or not knowing, it’s a matter of trusting the boss. Huh!”
“boss? Did you forget Mr. Bay told you not to call him that? Our boss is Linda…”
Steve asked about the name of Brian, who was betting on another death. It was because he didn’t want to admit that he had almost missed this golden egg.
“How is it? After all, those two are one… To be honest, if Linda had been alone, she would have already taken care of herself, right? How hard is it to serve someone who doesn’t even know the world on this rough floor? You’re already a killer, haven’t you?”
“…so what are you going to do?”
“I want to look good to the boss too, so I’m asking for help. The hotel here will say I’m in charge, so please push me.”
“Why do I have to…?”
“If you don’t help, I’ll stay in Korea and sing to the boss every day, ‘Never trust that guy Steve, it’s wise to just cut it off!'”
“Someone believed you, and what am I playing?”
“You are very busy right now. How many casinos do you manage around the world? On the other hand, I am very, very free now. The construction industry still has a long way to go. Huh!”
Brian raised his cowboy hat and raised his eyebrows. It was something he often did when he was about to raise his opponent.
“Are you too busy to get rent?”
“Why is this? Are you a dealer in what casino? That’s what all the guys below know. Catch it!”
Steve had never beaten Brian with words. Again, it was the same this time.
“okay. Instead, help me with my work.”
“Your job, what is it?”
“Are you going to re-build the ruined place anyway? I’m going to turn it all into a casino. It extends to the vacant lot nearby over there.”
“Then the scale would be great…?”
“Yeah, at least we have to make it the largest in Asia. Because it’s worth it…”
“Isn’t this your place of business?”
“So I am asking you. As you said, the boss is Bay anyway. The stronger he gets, the safer our business will be. Our money is his money. In this business, let us take the lead!”
“That’s what I said first!”
“It doesn’t matter, you idiot!”
Another fight broke out between the two. That’s why Steve was avoiding Brian. When I met this guy, my anger that was not there was boiling.
Sizzle!
The meat was cooked crispy on the stone plate. Cheol-woo, who was slowly turning the meat over, kicked his tongue and lamented.
“Hey, this guy and that guy, why couldn’t both of them die? Ttttttttt!”
The world is wide and there are so many people to kill, and he clicks his tongue as he recalls the Sicilian mafia that Wolf confessed to. Wolf, who was sitting opposite him and beating him, looked at him and asked.
“Are you going to visit them?”
“Why do you want them to forgive you?”
“Surely, when I was young, I got help from them only once. This time, I was just trying to pay off that miserable debt. Even though I couldn’t complete the mission, I died and came back to life like this, and I didn’t receive any money, so I just count as paying off the debt and that’s it. Whether they die or not, I don’t know.”
Wolf said as if he had absolutely nothing to do with himself. Rather, it was his candid feeling that he was alone.
“But why are you asking if I’m going to visit them?”
“While I’m gone, I want you to take care of that little bastard Gabriel.”
“Bare mouth…?”
“Then let me do one of your requests. It’s like this now, but I think it’s quite usable.”
He smiled bitterly as he looked at his injured foot. The leg where Cheol-woo’s sword was pierced was in a half cast.
“Then be my companion.”
“I don’t like that, because I feel comfortable working alone…”
“Sheesh, in a subject that I don’t even have skills in, my form is…”
“Who says no? I’m not good at melee combat, but as far as tracking and sniping…”
“Yeah, it’s not for me. So you’re nothing Huh!”
“Damn it, I can’t argue with you doing this.”
Wolf was very disassembled. Even before his return, he had great pride in himself.
A face with curly red hair and a thick beard. Now, his iconic beard was less than then.
It was a strange experience for Cheol-woo to see him in front of him, who was younger than he remembered. But that self-deprecating expression was the same as before.
A smile spread across my lips without realizing it, as I remembered each time I lost the bet and insisted on playing just one more game. But this memory was lonely because only Cheol-woo had it.
“Is that Gabriel or something that ordered it?”
“Yeah, the Sicilian mafia has also undergone a major generational change. The current headman, Gabriele Corleonesi, is the King of Sicily, Palermo, Italy. He ordered me to shoot Linda Grace.”
“A guy with a reputation for being a killer speaks out his client’s name. Will this be the only way to earn a living on this floor?”
“Hey, it’s my business. It doesn’t matter to you. I already have enough money to live on for the rest of my life. I am thinking of retiring soon.”
“Aren’t you going to start a vineyard?”
“Yeah…how do you do that…?”
“If you do your research, everything will come out.”
Wolf gave a genuinely surprised expression. Because it was a plan he had never brought out to anyone.
Of course, that was the case this time around. Before his return, he was arguing over the fact that he retired from mercenary life and ran a grape farm and ran again as a mercenary when he drank.
Is that what he’s doing for the rest of his life or what? Apparently, this guy was wrong this time too.
‘Hey, the kid isn’t making any progress. Tttttttt!’
Not knowing he was making a bitter sound inside, Wolf smiled softly. I guess he wanted to show off the secret he had been hiding from what was already revealed.
“I don’t know how you found out, but I’ll tell you one more secret about your decision to retire. I bought land in Europe with the money I saved. It’s a really nice piece of land, but I bought it almost at a bargain price. Huh!”
“Is that in France?”
“Damn, how the hell do you know that? Obviously I never told anyone…”
The land he bought at a low price did not produce good grapes in the first year. So the next year, when I investigated, various kinds of waste were found in the ground.
A former farmer, who was suffering from debt, got paid and illegally buried waste on his land. Then he hastily disposed of the land . . .
When this fact was revealed, of course, all the vineyards in the area were closed. After that, this guy went to the former farmer, got rid of it, and plunged back into the mercenary world.
“Anyway, if you have an idea, I’ll put you on my farm. You can drink wine for the rest of your life.”
“Respectfully.”
“Sheesh, I’m scared…”
Even then, he would get drunk like that, and then naturally offered to do business with him the next day. After retiring, they all wanted to start a vineyard together, and they flirted with him whenever he had a chance.
As I was talking about such a story full of memories, the meat was well-cooked, and the oil fell into flames and burned with great force.
The very crispy grilled pork belly was transferred onto a stone plate, and alcohol was poured into a soju glass placed on the table. At that time, I used to buy this cheap soju at a higher price than whiskey and drink it.
Big!
I put two pieces of meat lightly coated in soy sauce in my mouth and savored it with soju. The more I did, the more the memories came back to me.
“Kya~! This just bursts with admiration. This drink is very attractive…?”
He ate meat and shochu as Wolf did. He even exclaimed in admiration.
That guy goes well with Korean food. So he led him, saying he hated it every vacation, and went to a Korean restaurant every time.
“If you get hurt, go away on your own.”
“Aren’t you going to catch me?”
“Catch the weak and do what…”
“Are you taunting me now?”
“No, I am speaking the truth.”
The guy groaned. It seems that my pride has been trampled on in an unfamiliar land.
“When are you leaving?”
“I, I should go after I finish my business here.”
“When is that?”
“Well, I’m not the kind of person who just keeps track of dates…”
“If it’s within a month, let’s go out together. Then I’ll help you with your revenge. What do you think?”
“Is that really necessary? There would be no grand revenge…”
“Are you so arrogant that you get hooked in one shot?”
“Will that ever happen? Anyway, I have something to bring from Sicily, so it’s like using a porter.”
“What are you carrying?”
“Yeah, something like that…. Huh!”
Cheol-woo gave a sinister smile. Anyway, it was a place I had to stop by someday to find the fortune of Zambito.
The timing has been moved up a bit, only to add that he has to step down his archenemy, the Corleonesi family, in accordance with Zambito’s intentions. Darkness and stars slowly descended around him as he recalled memories and events in the near future.
Drinking with old comrades was very enjoyable. It was such an evening that would have been blissful if it weren’t for Dine and Linda’s problems.
And the phone rang again.
