RUST -153

When the What’s Up broadcasting station first opened, it was a four-story reinforced concrete building, but later expanded to include a fifth floor made of wood, making it a five-story building in total.

The first to fourth floors were offices and studios. The fifth floor contained the president’s office, conference rooms, and staff rooms.

Maru, who was stuck to the wall on the fifth floor, had a hard time holding back the rising murderous intent. As he listened to the president and PD talking outside, his blood pressure soared.

After seeing the PD leave the president’s office, I thought I should have a quiet talk with the president, but then a woman came in.

And then there’s the sound of something sniffing and inhaling through the nose.

‘What are these kids doing after taking the medicine?’

Maru couldn’t stand it anymore and stabbed the knife into the wall. The wall was cut with a strange sound. The wooden frame, insulation, interior plywood, and drywall couldn’t withstand Maru’s stab.

In an instant, a large hole appeared in the wall. The woman was so shocked that she fainted, perhaps because she had taken the wrong medicine. The boss, with his pants down, stared blankly at the wall that had burst open on the side, unable to scream.

The president’s office was on the 5th floor. Even if you only count 3~3.5m per floor, it’s 15m high. No matter what the structure is, it’s a wall. A person came in through the wall. And with a knife? Did he take the wrong medicine?

The boss rubbed his eyes. A cold winter wind came in through the hole. His lower body cooled down in an instant. Before he could even think about pulling up his pants, the air became heavy.

Ugh-

Huuuuk-

The boss suddenly had difficulty breathing. He just couldn’t breathe.

He desperately looked up to see the intruder with a knife glaring at him. He met the intruder’s eyes.

Is that a human eye?

The boss wanted to turn his head, but it wouldn’t move as he wanted. He couldn’t avoid the eyes filled with death staring at him.

Die. Die with your head cut off. Die with your body split in half. Die with your upper and lower body separated. Die with your limbs and torso severed.

Hehe

Push-Push-Push-style

Purrrrrrr

Yellow broth and yellow lumps stained the floor, accompanied by the sound of escaping air.

The president, who was shivering all over, stumbled backwards and his legs got tangled in his pants that were pulled down to his ankles. The president fell forward.

Crunch!

It was the president who fell down with his face buried in a yellow lump of his own making.

“Fuck······.”

What the hell is this?

Maru was dumbfounded. He held back the urge to just cut him up, but the boss’s son went crazy after shitting and peeing on his own.

“This is driving me crazy.”

Judging by the rolling eyes, I thought I had taken the wrong medicine. I tried to explain it to him in a soft voice, but the universe was not helping me.

‘Should I use a neutralizer?’

A white powdery substance was scattered on the floor. It looked like either methamphetamine or cocaine. He wouldn’t have taken fentanyl like that, but if he had taken crystal or something like that, his eyes would have turned red.

It would be a waste to use the neutralizer I carry around for emergencies on this kid. But it would also be ridiculous to just go back like that.

Huh- Maru took a deep breath, shook his hands, and turned his shoulders. He barely held back the urge to cut it off coolly, and his hands began to tremble as if he had hydrocephalus.

The most important thing is to stop the broadcasting station from making any more noise. Stop the current broadcast and prevent it from spreading any further. Stop Ms. Kim from stirring things up for no reason. That’s it.

‘What should I do?’

As Maru was thinking, he saw a contract on the desk. The original contract.

Yeah, in America, it’s a contract. I’ll show you the taste of a capitalist lawyer who is scarier than a robber with a gun.

So let’s do that, then what about this mess?

My eyes fell upon the objects decorating one wall. It was a wall decorated with props from horror movies.

A hockey mask, a giant chopper knife, gloves with blades on their fingers, a torn cowboy hat, an alien monster skull, deer paws… and a large chainsaw and a small chainsaw in the corner.

Chainsaw? The big one is fine, but what about the small one?

======

======

The station was abuzz with calls from the Drug Enforcement Administration, police, and even 911 rescue teams.

Breaking down the locked door to the president’s office from the inside, I entered and saw a mess. There was a hole in the wall. The floor was covered in white powder, as if flour had been spilled. The woman was unconscious and foaming at the mouth. What about the president?

The president, with his pants down to his ankles and his butt exposed, was burying his face in the shit. He was holding a chainsaw tightly in his right hand. The PD sighed after seeing the mess. He should have thrown in his resignation letter that he had been holding in his chest earlier.

“PD? I got a call about the special broadcast of ‘Bucker Queen’s Hero.’ The CEO can’t answer the phone.”

“Ha- Okay, I’ll take it.”

The PD received a call.

“Yes, I got the call.”

[This is Mac Golden from Donald & Mack Law Offices. I am calling to inform you that my client has received death threats due to your unscrupulous broadcasting and is preparing to sue.]

The PD was momentarily flustered. A death threat? What show? What was the latest broadcast? There was one thing like that, but it was something that had been confirmed in the original contract.

“What broadcast is this about? Do you have your name?”

[I’m talking about the broadcast ‘Burger Queen’s Hero.’ Do you think that’s a normal broadcast? Isn’t that a broadcast that provokes gangs? Isn’t that a content that was edited to blatantly tell people to kill? My customer was even threatened. Because of that broadcast.]

“No. Although the content of the broadcast is somewhat controversial, it is a broadcast that was filmed with a written contract and consent.”

[You call that a deal? Okay. That fancy contract. Let’s take a look. I’ll see you in court.]

The PD hung up the phone and shook his head. It was the most notorious law firm in the area. The fact that they were contacting a law firm that would uproot a case if it got a hold of it meant that they were confident that they would win.

It was just a few hours ago that the boss said it was okay.

Are you okay? What the hell are you okay with? What am I going to do about this?

Even if it was an unfair contract, there was no big problem as long as there was a contract. There may be moral responsibility, but it could have been avoided unless you were shot dead by a gangster right away.

Since the president was taken to the emergency room, they had to buy some time. The PD hurriedly went into the president’s office. He had to get the original contract first. The police and the Drug Enforcement Agency were searching the president’s office to collect evidence.

The PD’s eyes first scanned the desk. Fortunately, the desk was still intact.

‘does not exist?’

I clearly saw the boss put it on the desk, but it wasn’t there.

“Get out of the scene.”

The police chased the PD out of the president’s office, putting up yellow do-not-trespass tape.

“No. This is just drugs. And no one died.”

“Look at what you said and try again. Tsk-”

Other broadcasting stations, newspapers, and even Newtubers were quietly holding out their microphones, wondering when they would come in.

Fuck!

The PD left the scene.

First of all, I had to buy some time, no matter what.

What if it’s difficult?

Or meet the woman who wrote the contract in person······.

Kim Yang returned to the hotel with quick steps, carrying a hamburger, French fries, and a cola in both hands. He walked alone on the dark road, but he was not worried at all.

Gang? Revenge?

Huh. Huh.

If the nerds who came to rob Burger Queen were real gangsters, then Detroit, with its notorious reputation, would be heaven. I asked an American police officer, and he said that if gangsters try to attack you, killing them is self-defense. They’re coming for revenge? That was really, really, thank you.

Huh? Huh ♪

I happily walked through the lobby and got on the elevator. I found myself humming. My stomach was full, I was in a good mood, and I had my hands full of food. I bought a lot of the most delicious food, so Maru would be happy too.

huh.

How much food did we eat together during that time? Ms. Kim was proud of knowing Maru’s eating habits.

Meat for meat! Triple Patty!

Add cheese, add cheese, finish with cheese! Triple cheese!

Combined, Triple Patty & Cheese Crate Queen Whopper!!!

Even a spicy flavored sauce!

Here are 10. I’ll divide them up into 3 for snacks later.

Maru ate five, and the nurse and hood ate one each.

Kim Yang felt proud. Is this what it feels like to be a father thinking about the children waiting at home? Is this what it feels like to be a father thinking about the children enjoying the food?

As she got off the elevator and headed into her room, something felt strange. It felt strangely cold. What? Ms. Kim turned her head and looked at the elevator she had just gotten off from.

Miss Kim looked back without realizing it. It was cold because it was winter… but was the hotel hallway this cold?

after-

I blew on it. No white breath came out. So it’s not cold? The heating is working well, so why is it like this?

I was a little nervous again, but it wasn’t really a problem. The hotel had a floor. Probably the safest place in the world is a place with a floor, so this feeling was justified.

The moment you grab the doorknob and turn it.

Ododododododododo.

My hair stood on end. My pupils dilated, and my fingertips tingled as if they were being struck by static electricity. I wanted to close the door, but I opened it by inertia. My body and mind were acting separately.

The door opened and I saw someone sitting cross-legged on the sofa right in front of me.

“hey.”

A voice was heard calling. A sharp voice.

And then their eyes met. They were Baekjeong’s eyes.

No. No. No. Suddenly. Why. What is it. What’s going on. What is this?

Hiccup.

Why··· are you saying that···

Hiccup.

======

======

Maru quietly looked at Kim Yang, who was trembling. Her face was starting to turn pale, if not blue. Her eyes, filled with resentment, sadness, wonder, and surprise, were shaking.

Shit. I had no idea what I was doing.

Even when I get angry, I feel sad when I think about whether I got infected and became like this. But did I get infected? If I got infected, I would have gotten infected too, but I’m fine. When I think about that, my blood pressure goes up again.

Huh- Maru, who had caught his breath, opened his mouth.

“You. Are you out of your mind? Are you thinking?”

“······.”

“Why did you go to Japan, and why did you change your status there?”

“······.”

“Why did you come to America?”

“······.”

“Didn’t you go through all that trouble to avoid the World Group? Didn’t you come all the way here to avoid getting involved with those guys?”

“······.”

“No? Right? But what’s the problem? Do you just have to shoot? Do you want to shoot all the gangsters that come at you? If you’re going to shoot them all, why did you run away from Korea? Why didn’t you just shoot all the World Group kids?”

Kim Yang’s expression changed slightly at those words. An expression that said, ‘Huh? Really?’ A fierce expression that said, ‘You could have just killed them all, why did you run away?’

Maru was dumbfounded. It was clear that the taste had really gone a bit. It seemed that the kid who used to tremble in fear of the company had changed like this.

“Ah- fuck-”

Maru shook his head to clear his mind and took a deep breath.

Miss Kim shrank down. I could see the large Burger Queen bag she was holding tightly with both hands.

Tsk-

When I see that you bought something good to eat, I think, oh, really, what should I do with this?

“Put that down. Come here.”

Ms. Kim approaches, timidly, placing a Burger Queen bag on the table.

“Whew- Did you do well? Did you do something wrong?”

“I was wrong.”

“You’re going to do it again? You’re not going to do it again, are you?”

“I don’t think so.”

Ms. Kim repeatedly appealed that she would not do that.

“Can I really believe that? Can I really believe that you won’t do it again?”

“If that’s not true, then you can believe it.”

Miss Kim nods her head fiercely. Please trust me.

At the end of the warm atmosphere, Maru said.

“Then put your head in.”

“······.”

If you do something wrong, you should be punished. Wherever you go, you can just be punished.

“······.”

“······.”

Srrrrrrrr-

Ms. Kim quietly bowed her head.
