RUST-43

Ms. Kim was furious.

I took just one sip, but it felt like a thousand fires were coming out of my stomach. She wasn’t normal for drinking this kind of alcohol before a meal, on an empty stomach.

Ms. Kim glanced at President Charlotte, who was sipping her soju, wondering what was so good about it. She narrowly avoided eye contact, avoided eye contact, and pretended not to notice, as if nothing had happened.

‘I bet our eyes met.’

Eat with food, suffer from indigestion, and eat with irritation. Contrary to Kim Yang’s curse, she ate very elegantly. Rather, the irritation stack only piled up on Kim Yang. Namely, desire, desire, fire, and anger!

‘What is this? Are you saying I’ll see you soon?’

The food was delicious. French flavors I had never tasted before? Then what? There was no grass if you took two forks, porridge? soup? There was no such thing if you took three spoonfuls, and even the spoons were small. The bread was the size of two swollen fingers in a cast, the meat was half the size of a palm, and the fish was either fried or grilled, but it was tasty, but it was the size of a thumb and had fancy decorations. It was all like that.

The meal ended up being like that, with only plates, forks, spoons, and chopsticks being used, and it seemed like I was just watching people eat.

Kim Yang no longer felt the unpleasantness. Because Kim Yang was spreading the murderous intent. What was she trying to do by treating me like this, even though she knew the information about me? So Kim Yang also expressed her hidden irritation and anger without holding back.

But I don’t know what he thought of that, but President Charlotte accepted it with a bland smile. Judging from the fact that he was laughing off the murderous intent of Ms. Kim, who had sent several people on a tour bus to Samdocheon, he definitely didn’t feel like an ordinary person.

“So, why did you want to see me?”

Miss Kim, who was full of annoyance at the vague feeling of being eaten, spoke as nicely as she could.

“I heard that you resigned from World. There was a rumor going around that you fired Manager Hong. Is that true?”

Kim Yang’s brow furrowed slightly. The sashimi pointed at the back of her neck came to mind. The sashimi stuck in her left back, her right arm shattered, Manager Hong trying to say something while the knife was stuck in his face. And then a gunshot. The scenes passed by in an instant.

“······.”

“I see. So then you’re saying that the incidents that World has been covering up are true. The World livestock fire and the movie that World Entertainment said they were filming are actually your work.”

“······.”

Ms. Kim was silent. When the company took care of it, there was nothing to worry about, but not anymore. As if she understood Ms. Kim’s thoughts, the woman nodded.

“That’s enough of that story. I invited you because I wanted to make a suggestion.”

“······.”

“Let me get straight to the point. Come under my direct control. You don’t have to listen to anyone else, just listen to me. I will give you all the conveniences and treatment you deserve, double what you were used to.”

“······.”

Ms. Kim kept her mouth shut. She had learned that if she kept her mouth shut, the other person would come to an end. And that was experience. The story continued with how Ms. Kim’s silence was interpreted.

“They tracked you down in World, so you came to Hotel Charlotte to avoid them, right? Crystal says it’s because of World, but you have a bad relationship with Ms. Kim, and other regular hotels would immediately pass the information to World, so you came to Hotel Charlotte, right? What do you think? You should come to me while you’re at it. I think Hotel Charlotte can at least provide a place for Ms. Kim to rest.”

“······.”

However, when Ms. Kim remained silent, President Charlotte also remained silent. How long had the silence lasted?

“What? Can I consider this silence as a rejection?”

With the president’s words, a murderous feeling was coming from all sides. Kim Yang said as she placed her hand, which was holding a bracelet-shaped detonator control device, gently on the table.

“If you keep doing this, Allah will bless you.”

“yes?”

The president was momentarily dumbfounded by Ms. Kim’s words. Out of the blue, “Long live Allah?” What does that mean? His proud expression collapsed and he was momentarily embarrassed. Ms. Kim felt proud for some reason.

“I will do Allahu Akbar.”

“yes?”

The face of the president, who was suddenly wondering what was going on, changed. Kim Yang, who saw that, stretched out her arm, which was wearing a bracelet-shaped detonator, as if to say, “This is the famous one.” Why did she carry around all these heavy things for no reason? They were all for times like this.

“If I die, get hurt, get sick, get stressed, suddenly fall asleep or my vitals waver, automatically, along with this hotel, we all go to Allah.”

If you try to survive, you’ll die, and whether you die or not, if you keep swearing, you’ll live. Life is precious. I want to live. So let’s die together. If you’re scared, let go. Ms. Kim was scared. So let’s be scared together and let go of each other.

“······.”

“······.”

The president and Ms. Kim stared at each other blankly. The suffocating murderous intent had disappeared as if washed away. The space where the murderous intent had disappeared was filled with confusion, bewilderment, and anxiety.

“This. It’s really impressive. I’ll ask you again. Won’t you be my direct subordinate? I’ve been having a really hard time lately. My relatives are just fat on their brains and stomachs, so I still can’t come to my senses. These days, they’re trying to take over my hotel and construction even if it means shedding blood. What can I do? They want to shed blood, so I need to keep a sharp knife or a good gun by my side.”

“······.”

Kim Yang just kept her mouth shut. Sim Eun-young had no choice but to acknowledge that consistent silence. What could she do?

“Ha- Okay. Then I’ll take that as a rejection. But since we’ve come this far, can I make one request before check-out?”

“What kind of request do you have?”

First of all, whether or not I knew the content, I had to avoid getting my nose pierced at all costs. If there was a possibility that I would end up with the Baekjeong saying, “Really? Then you’ve screwed me over?” and pulling out his sword, I had to avoid it. At all costs.

“If there is any bloodshed before Miss Kim checks out, you will side with me. If it is a request of that level, wouldn’t you be able to accept it?”

Kim Yang nodded. Well, that’s something you can do if you feel like you’re not helping anymore. A mercenary’s conscience? I’m not a mercenary. But I should give back as much as I’ve received.

“First of all, this much as a deposit···.”

As she raised her hand, the door swung open and a man carrying a thick briefcase came in, politely placing the bag on his back before standing behind her like a guardian deity.

Knock-knock- The lock was released and the bag opened, revealing a wad of yen and two gold bars. They were 1kg gold bars. Add them up, at least 300 million? No, 400 million?

Kim Yang’s expression brightened. A smile appeared on the president’s face as he saw Kim Yang’s expression. The two women reached an agreement.

After Ms. Kim went up to the Heungheung guest room carrying a heavy bag, a man behind her spoke.

“Are you okay?”

The woman answered with a chuckle.

“What if it’s not okay? If it’s not okay, we all have to know each other. In the current situation, it’s hard to find a place safer than a hotel.”

“······.”

There was no way he could be a man. He would shout “Long Live Allah” if he even brushed past her. The man had no choice but to remain silent in this situation that he had never experienced before.

“Well- but the fact that Kim Yang left the World. The fact that Manager Hong, who had been stealing away the talents we had our eyes on, was out. And the fact that the World is not what it used to be. Knowing these three things, today’s performance was good.”

Sim Eun-young took a sip of the strong drink. The cold drink burned her esophagus as it went down her throat. The scent that burned her stuffy insides came out with her exhalation and tickled the tip of her nose.

“There are people who stayed with Ms. Kim, right? They are probably people who support Ms. Kim, so let’s say that they all won the event. A free 3-night, 4-day stay event. Let’s make them think, “Can I rest for a few more days?” Let’s give them a lot of service. How about the above?”

“As expected. I heard that the group headquarters frequently meets with the World side.”

Maybe thinking like that is the only way to go, I was just going to accept the construction and end it, but now I was in a situation where I had to split the group or take control of it. If they were going to kill me, I would have been prepared to lose my life, but since they were relatives, I tried my best to avoid bloodshed…

“If you’re joining forces with World, does that mean you’re going to deal with us by force?”

“Yes. The world is moving faster than we thought. Shigemino Masayuki-san and the Ueno-gumi members who were secretly waiting in Jeju have been defeated.”

Sim Eun-young, who had been tapping the table with her fingernails, picked up the phone and made a call to someone. A moment later, a video was sent.

After being subdued in an instant, his knees and ligaments are shattered.

A tearing scream

And stamping

And soccer kick

A man died with his neck broken.

And there was a video of Director Kim getting excited and saying things like, “He has no guts,” and “It was a girl’s shot,” while looking at the dead man.

“This person is that Director Kim.”

“Yes.”

Ha- Sim Eun-young closed her eyes. Shigemino Masayuki, a collateral in Japan. Technically, he was a collateral of a collateral, but he was someone who came to Korea at her request. But how could someone like that die like that while being ridiculed?

In this world, there was something called face. It was a way of arranging things by giving each other a certain amount of face. But in the world, it seemed like they didn’t care about that. They even played with it like a toy and killed it, even though they had the time. That meant they had no intention of capturing it.

Considering the size of the Charlotte Group, World could not have killed him so easily. It was not like that for the sake of saving face. Even so, the fact that he killed him meant that there was an agreement from above. In the end, this video was nothing more than evidence that Charlotte headquarters was trying to eliminate him by colluding with World.

“Can we stop them on our own?”

“If we gather all the hotel and construction security teams and mobilize the Gumi residents who fled from Japan, we can defend ourselves, but what happens after that is the problem.”

“I guess so?”

If it ended with defense, it would only continue to be cut down. Even if the World side was blocked, it was obvious that if the damage here was great, the headquarters would try to take advantage of it. Kim Yang, who shook the World alone, seemed amazing, and it was regrettable that he couldn’t catch it.

“Even though he is a collateral branch of a collateral branch, he is still here. I must take revenge, right?”

If I couldn’t even get revenge, I wouldn’t be able to stand up.

As we went inside the old factory complex, a dark factory warehouse appeared even during the day.

Here and there, rusted warehouses, stained with a dull red, gave off a pungent iron smell.

Squeak!

As the door opened with the sound of rusty hinges, a sound came from deep within.

Woohoooooooooooo!

Ugh

Remember

Woohoooooooooooo!

The youngest’s footsteps were heavy as he walked toward the other side of the darkness where the smell of blood and secretions were mixed.

“Oh. The youngest is here?”

The chief, who had put a funnel into a man’s mouth, raised his hand when he saw the youngest.

“Hey, this isn’t an easy task either. You don’t know how to read the mood and you shit in the water. You’re going to feed it the shit you like, but you’re not even eating it properly. Why is it so hard to feed it shit? Did you do a good job of handing it over?”

“Yes, team leader.”

The manager nodded to the other employees to continue working.

“So, youngest, what do you think of Director Kim? Do you still go first with your hand?”

“no.”

“Really? What’s wrong with Director Kim? He didn’t even find fault with him?”

“yes.”

When the youngest answered immediately, the director nodded.

Wheeeeeeing

Wheeeeeeing

“Yes, I received a call. This is Director Lee Ki-young.”

[I’m Executive Director Choi. Haven’t you taken care of those brats yet?]

“We’re talking nicely now, so I think it’ll be over soon.”

[Good? Soon? Is that something that takes that much time? Just hurry up and finish it and take the kids down to Busan.]

The director barely managed to suppress his rising blood pressure.

Who doesn’t know that if you hit a gong-ri, it’ll end quickly? The problem is that in this day and age, if you make a famous celebrity go missing, suspicions will grow. So I’m spending time engraving fear and despair into my body, and then I’m going to throw it all away and do a gong-ri?

What if there is a problem after pouring concrete? Is it the fault of the person who poured the tool? This director no longer saw Executive Director Choi as a human being. No matter how much he did this, there was a ‘reasonable limit’. This director, who held back from coming up, spoke to Executive Director Choi.

“Busan? How about finding that guy named Maru?”

[Do you think I should tell you that? Can’t you just go to Busan and look for it?]

Oh shit, seriously.

He told me to find a beggar, and he was told to find the baby quickly because he was Kim.

No matter how much you try to do whatever you want, there is a limit. My patience was reaching its limit.

[There’s a manager named Sim Eun-young at the Charlotte Hotel in Busan. Bring me her head. Then I’ll give you the position of manager right away.]

“Huh? You want to grab the Charlotte Hotel manager’s collar?”
