Chapter 342
Episode 342: Red Head
“That red-headed bastard is a funny guy.”
This is really funny.
“So how do you do it? “If Kim Shin-hwa doesn’t grant her demands, she will marry poor Park Gwang-rim?”
Giiiiiiing-
The light emitted from my four eyes is starting to color Vasilisa’s insides green. It doesn’t matter who was kidnapped.
Aren’t you afraid of repercussions for arguing in such a low way?
And I have the intention and ability to actively respond to these disputes.
“Giggles – Honey, aren’t you giving a very obvious reaction?”
“what?”
“First of all, I apologize for speaking in a misleading way. But honey, Park Gwang-rim was not kidnapped.”
“aha?”
Tudor smiles brightly and speaks with a rhythm that is easy to listen to. A witch is definitely a witch. I don’t even get angry when you say things like that.
At the same time, several possibilities came to mind.
It is not a kidnapping, the reward is Park Gwang-rim, the client is left behind, and Tudor smiles.
“I guess I get it roughly.”
“Yes? “Do you understand?”
“Are you protecting me? The problem may be… … “I guess it’s Hyuna, right?”
After hearing my words, Tudor looks at me with a strange expression.
“You just left out the keyword ‘kidnapping’ and you got there all at once? “Are you still perceptive?”
“Because I know the characters’ personalities.”
“Umm honey, isn’t this fun? Should we move somewhere else?”
After saying that, Tudor held out his hand in a dignified gesture. Is this a motion to apply for an escort?
“under-”
Now that I think about it, Vasilisa’s troubleshooters are looking at me with curious expressions.
“good.”
After my permission(?) was given, Tudor pulled my hand with a sly smile.
“There’s no need to hold hands, right?”
“Ummmm~ Lady, you are very shy.”
“Do it in moderation!”
I was dragged into Tudor’s office amidst jeers from the fixers.
* * *
Tudor, sitting comfortably at a desk piled with documents, looked at me with his legs crossed.
“Honey, shall we settle the bill first?”
“That’s right.”
The prerequisite quest must be completed – so I can move on to the next quest with peace of mind.
Tudor accepted the glass bottle containing the [Mermaid Egg] and said with wide eyes.
“It’s an unfertilized egg?”
“that’s right. “It’s an unfertilized egg.”
“It doesn’t taste good like this.”
Tudor is smiling like a cat and licking his tongue.
“Still, it’s [Mermaid’s Egg] as requested. “That doesn’t change.”
Tudor nodded and said to my assertion.
“that’s right. But wasn’t there also a fertilized egg?”
“There wasn’t any.”
“really?”
Tudor’s pupils narrow menacingly.
“huh.”
“It’s not fun.”
Tudor’s short sigh.
“Anyway, the client is just expecting health food with questionable effectiveness, right? “If I take the real thing, everyone will be in trouble, right?”
“Kiki, that’s right.”
Tudor said that and raised the glass bottle containing the [Mermaid Egg] high.
Are you looking at it in the light? Tudor, who had an innocent expression as if he was looking at a jewel for a moment, nodded his head and responded.
“Moon Kyung-Jun would have wanted this as well. “You will be satisfied.”
Mermaid meat becomes the elixir of immortality. What if this was a fertilized egg?
Today and tomorrow, the chairman of Yonam Group will suddenly stand up – and the battle for successor to Yonam Group, which is becoming more intense day by day, will enter a new phase.
In many ways, this is just right.
“Are you number 3?”
Since Moon Gyeong-nam, who was third in line of succession for the Yonam Group, died, Moon Gyeong-jun, who was number 4, became number 3.
The question is whether you want Moon Kyung-jun to become chairman.
“no.”
“But why?”
Why are you helping Moon Kyung-jun?
Of all the cunning, evil, and terrible crazy siblings, she is the most cautious. Empowering him is best to maintain the stalemate.
“Seeing as you’re talking about something else, I guess it’s not an urgent situation after all?”
Why did you come in to talk about Jeokdu and then leave for Yeonam?

“Woo-Honey, it’s no fun if you keep getting ahead of yourself like that. “My pleasure is explaining the contents of the request.”
Tudor swinging his fist in an exaggerated manner.
“Wouldn’t it be more fun today to do the opposite and see if my thoughts are correct?”
“Huh- okay. “What did you think of?”
Tudor said that and looked down at me sitting in the chair.
Even if you sit on the same chair, you have to look up, but trying to look up at Tudor sitting at the desk is a struggle.
“I heard this story recently, but Jeong Hyeon-ah’s condition is not good.”
“that’s right. “He was very angry with someone.”
To be honest, I was so busy focusing on myself that I was intentionally ignoring it half the time.
“And Park Gwang-rim’s place of business is within the Red Head’s sphere of influence.”
In fact, if there was a situation where I would have been kidnapped, I would have been kidnapped a long time ago.
“huh. “The opposition party is the enemy’s sphere of influence.”
The name of Park Gwang-rim’s detective agency is [Opposition Detective Person Search Specialized Affair Investigation, Evidence Investigation, Fraud Investigation Errand Center]. Opposition detective for short.
“Because Park Gwang-rim used to sell my name. “Both Jeokdu and Hyuna probably didn’t know about the connection.”
Tudor smiles and nods.
“Park Gwang-rim got involved in the process of Hyuna attacking Jeokdu?”
“that’s right. “It looked like he almost died.”
“How did Jeokdu get that? And rather than using it as a bargaining tool – perhaps, demanding something in return from me… … . No, it’s probably closer to wanting to show off.”
“It’s great. Wizard. “Then can you guess what Jeokdu is asking for?”
This time I nodded.
“If Hyuna is the only opponent – there is no reason for Jeokdu to push himself like this. “When I last saw it, it was somewhat balanced.”
Although I did step in and beat the enemy, it was more of a balancing act.
“I wouldn’t have done anything with Hyuna because of her personality, and Hyuna probably wouldn’t have wanted to join hands with her. However, if that pervert had intervened, there would have been a more spectacular problem.”
“I’m not sure about that part.”
“But you know the conclusion. It looks like Hyuna has a strange friend, right? “There is no one among my enemies who can handle him, so I need a new, strong friend.”
“and! “You got everything right!”
Clap clap clap – Tudor laughing and clapping his hands happily.
To match the response, I placed my hand on my chest and bowed my head slightly.
“There are no tricks – no gimmicks. What is that look? However, it is difficult to gauge what level the red head wants. So what do you say?”
I hope this story ends with all age groups.
“Let’s meet and talk.”
I sigh.
“It looks like the red head hasn’t been decided yet.”
“I think so. “It looks like you’re planning to make a decision by talking to him?”
“That much needs to be coordinated by a middleman.”
Tudor answered by turning his cat-like eyes in the wrong direction and avoiding my gaze.
“I tried to do that too, but the red head must be very sensitive.”
“Do you think I’ll do something strange to try to suppress the momentum?”
“Is that why you asked to see my face? So no matter what the broker says, I don’t listen to a word.”
Sigh again.
Actually, Cheongho also tried to start a power struggle with me when I came to rescue his daughter.
The three heads of the Triad.
So, Blue Tiger, Red Head, and Black King are ultimately like triplet souls. That’s why we can’t stop fighting until we eliminate everyone else.
“when?”
“tomorrow.”
“Park Gwang-rim is well. “Is this it?”
“Honey, are you taking great care of Park Gwang-rim? “We went to Busan together and had fun there, didn’t we?”
Upon my reconfirmation, Tudor purses his lips and makes a sullen expression.
“Even if it was the guy next door who was kidnapped, of course you would be worried if it was someone you knew. And if Tudor had been in the same situation, he would have already overturned everything.”
Even if I didn’t tip it over, Tudor would have done it on his own.
“Hmph, speaking out loud-”
Even though I said that, I think it was an answer I liked deep down. The corner of my mouth twitches slightly.
“Anyway, it’s tomorrow, right?”
I’ll have to prepare diligently.
* * *
After my conversation with Tudor, I returned to the mansion hungry.
“Well, tomorrow’s schedule is…” … .”
Well, it’s almost a fixed pattern now, so it can be expected.
one. We will meet with Jeokdu tomorrow and confirm the requirements.
two. It may vary depending on what Jeokdu’s request is, but in any case, he will have to meet Hyuna to solve the problem.
three. Let’s find out what kind of friend Hyuna is said to have made.
four. Beep, the [Feast Offering] effect is activated.
five. Miracle victory through the power of love and friendship.
It’s simple.
Maybe the third part is the problem?
He will not be an easy opponent, as he can destroy the Triad’s barely maintained balance so quickly.
At least one denomination. Or an artifact or grimoire equivalent to one religious order.
In the worst case, the existence of an abyss.
What kind of guy is this? spider? mushroom? punishment? winter? toad? or not… … .
Slurp-
An unpleasant feeling as if something is crawling under your clothes. Subtle and cool touch. An eerie feeling that makes you stop breathing.
“Wizard, what’s wrong?”
Jang Hyeon-deok, wearing baggy shorts, looks at me with wide eyes.
“Oh, no. But-”
“yes?”
“Is one mine?”
Jang Hyeon-deok, who was walking out of the kitchen, was holding two ice creams in his hands. One in each hand.
Both of them are unwrapped? It’s like eating two at the same time.
“no. “I’m going to eat both of them?”
Why is that guy obsessed with two things since last time? Is it illness?
“but… … . Since I was caught by the wizard, I have to give up one thing, right?”
“yes.”
I accepted the ice cream with the solemn expression of a living god who is worshiped by a religious cult that promotes “filial piety and service” (though you can’t see it anyway because of the mask).
“What you looking at?”
“I want to see how you eat it.”
“You underestimate me too much.”
I changed my mask in one breath with just a shake of my head.
“wow!”
“There are no tricks – no gimmicks.”
Clap clap clap – Jang Hyeon-deok applauding with ice cream in his mouth.
I bowed my head slightly, responded gracefully, and walked to the kitchen.
“Mr. Sanghyun.”
“yes.”
“Can you help me with the work? “I need a necromancy expert.”
Heo Sang-hyun opens his eyes wide and smiles.
“If it’s something I can do.”
“great. “Let’s go to the basement.”
* * *
two days later.
“Now you’re a complete monster.”
I checked the condition of my left hand, which had complicated drawings on it, by squeezing and opening it. It moves well without any time difference.
At first glance, it looks like an ordinary hand except for the scribbles, but in reality – it is a hand made in a much more terrible way than the version with magic stones embedded in it.
Kkeut- In my left hand… … . No, let’s quit.
“I guess it’s here.”
As Jeokdu requested, we arrived at an abandoned factory located in the old publishing complex in Paju.
A large space where the concrete framework is clearly exposed.
Although it is an old abandoned building, there are several wires that appear to have been recently connected – and at the end of them is a large monitor with a surveillance camera connected to it.
“Ah, but this is really… … . “Oh, no.”
Speaking from a gamer’s perspective, it’s a bit enjoyable – but I can’t help but sigh.
Feeling like a clown, I followed the prepared script and waved my hand at the surveillance camera.
Chii Iik-
Monitor operating with short noises.
– How have you been? Shinhwa Kim.
Jeokdu’s voice mixed with laughter.
The appearance of the red head displayed on the monitor screen.
Well-maintained bright red long hair, as the nickname Red Head suggests.
A three-piece striped suit that doesn’t seem to match the hair reminiscent of a rock star, but somehow harmonizes strangely.
“You said you wanted to see me face to face, but if you were going to make a video call like this, why didn’t you just do it over the phone?”
– Just making phone calls isn’t fun, is it?
Jeokdu shakes his shoulders and laughs quietly.
I thought I would prepare a realistic production, but isn’t it a bit excessive?
In fact, he would have been successful as a producer of a variety show rather than a boss of an underworld. This is the problem with [Cthulhu World].
– And I got shot in the head? This is cheaper than having to meet the wizard in person, preparing for barriers, defending against hypnotism, etc.
“Ugh. is it so. Well, since it’s business anyway, let’s get started right away, right? “What did you call me to talk about?”
– hey.
Although he is smiling, his expression does not express joy. Fierce vigilance. A voice close to a growl.
“yes.”
– Cheongho, you killed him, right?
Oh, does that start from there? The ad-libs are a bit excessive.
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
– Don’t modify it. You psychotic wizard bastard. business? that’s right. But you are not a business partner, you are a product.
[System: The penalty characteristic ‘Feast Offering’ effect is activated.]
A penalty characteristic that activates as soon as the enemy ends his words.
At the same time, thugs from the Cheongho faction pour in from all entrances of the abandoned factory. The number is approximately 100? You guys are incredibly armed.
And Chae Tae-won, standing silently in the back row of them, looking at me.
A strange man with an unfamiliar face comes to the front row and speaks to me. Who is it? Is this the new guy Hyuna hired?
It has to be a face I don’t know. Because where the head should be, there is a crocodile’s head with its vicious teeth exposed.
“Hehehehe- you swindler wizard. “You crawled out without even knowing it was a trap.”
“Aha, trap?”
I answered like that and looked at the monitor where the image of Red Head was being broadcast.
Jeokdu waves his hand and greets you.
– Shinhwa Kim. Let’s meet again if we can survive.
The monitor turns off.
Well, for now… … The schedule is as planned. But before that, there is one thing I want to check.
“for a moment.”
“for a moment?”
The crocodile-headed guy looks at me with disgusting saliva drooling from his open mouth.
“A trap is a trap, let’s start by asking just one question.”
“question? question? Ah, I understand. okay. Jeokdu sold you. “An innocent wizard.”
“No, man. I know that when I see it. More than anything else, your face. That crocodile. that. “Is it a mask?”
“… … .”
