RUST -52

Maru was just annoyed by the current situation.

Director Kim having a seizure, Manager Charlotte of Busan laughing at him, and the bespectacled man with the expression on his face that says, ‘Let’s die together anytime.’

Seriously, why are people like this here?

As Maru finished farming and stood blankly to one side, the information officer whispered to Director Kim.

“Maybe it’s not Charlotte’s person.”

If it was someone from Charlotte’s side, he would have greeted Director Lee Ki-young. Or, on the contrary, Director Lee Ki-young would have greeted him. But this director was moving cautiously. As if he were a stranger, as if he was approaching a dud bomb. That meant that there was a high possibility that he was someone unrelated to that side.

“What? Then why did you attack us?”

Director Kim was shocked. The information officer responded to his shock with a shocked expression, saying, “You really don’t know.”

“Because we attacked first.”

“H- What the fuck. This fucking thing···.”

It felt like blood pressure was hitting the back of his head. Director Kim spat.

Did you get lucky? Yes, you must have gotten lucky.

Even if it was a mistake, I was able to attack anyway. It was hard to recover from a mistake, but I was able to create a temporary lull in the fighting. That was pretty much what happened in a normal combat situation. They accidentally shot each other and started to shoot each other. As time passed, it gradually became quiet.

But this was a lull, time, and no escape. Something that didn’t look like a human child jumped out and grabbed the kids. They weren’t just any kids. They were elites, and they had been eating from the same pot for at least 3 years. Those kids were all killed in about 10 seconds.

But the responsibility was his. He was the one who told them to shoot. Manager Lee Ki-young smiled because he found Director Kim Soo-hyun’s distorted expression so delicious.

“What are you looking at?”

“Oh my, Director Kim, looking at your appearance, you are just amazing. As expected of a saint. You eat well, wear well, and look good.”

Director Kim Soo-hyun was about to have a fit at Manager Lee Ki-young’s words, but the information officer stopped him.

“Don’t get caught. That kid is trying to scratch you right now.”

“Fucking dog-”

“So, when I saw you on the CCTV from over there, you were just rolling around on the floor trying to survive somehow. Is that what they call in martial arts “getting kicked in the butt”?”

“Shut your mouth.”

“Since when has Director Kim been talking like that? It seems like it would be time for him to come out with his hands or feet.”

Dogshit- The information officer grabbed Director Kim by the waist as he tried to get up. Maru, who was watching the three of them bickering, couldn’t stand it anymore and said something.

“Hey, mister. Stop scratching. Why did you bring those people here?”

“Ah- My name is Lee Ki-young, head of security at Hotel Charlotte. Sorry for the late greeting.”

Instead of greeting, Maru showed an attitude that suggested an answer.

“Because the World Group attacked the Charlotte Hotel in Busan.”

“Oh, so you mean 90 people came rushing in to catch 15 people?”

“It’s Lanchester’s Law. The more people gather, the less damage there is.”

“There are only two people left here, do we really need that many people? Those people over there are quite uncomfortable.”

“Don’t worry about that. I have some special business for Director Kim here. Director Kim will have some business for me too. Once I take care of that, there will be no problem.”

“What’s going on? I have nothing to talk to that traitor. I have nothing to do. Get out of here, you piece of shit.”

As Director Kim Soo-hyun and Manager Lee Ki-young began to roll their tongues, the gangsters gathered behind them began to murmur. Director Kim and Manager Lee turned their heads in the direction of the murmur.

I could see three large buses coming into the marina and stopping. The bus doors opened and men in dark suits and bulletproof vests poured out. There must have been at least 90 dark-colored people standing next to the colorful mass. I could see the Busan security team, the support team, and the special handling vehicle.

Director Kim’s mouth formed a crooked smile. The difference in armament was clearly visible, and the difference in neatness was obvious.

“Really? It’s work. Now that I think about it, there was something special we had to resolve between us. We have to finish it off so that we don’t forget. Today.”

The expression on Manager Lee’s face as he was nagging at Director Kim was bitter.

======

======

The youngest was going crazy. He found out that Director Kim had sent him a text message.

When they sorted out the people who had betrayed them, the people close to them, and the people who seemed likely to betray them and pushed them into the hotel, I thought I would be in there too. How much did I cry?

If given another chance, I would not get involved in this kind of thing, and I prayed in my heart that if there was someone in heaven, please give me a chance.

I thought he would definitely take care of himself, but Team Leader Ahn came over and said this.

‘Whew- Seriously- This story about you graduating from high school is a lie, both you and the director knew it. What kind of college student are you with that face? You’re just big, but at best, you look like you just graduated from middle school. Even the director knew it, but he just let it slide.’

‘I saw your self-introduction, which listed your family circumstances in detail, and there were some parts that were like that. Was that all? When you were working, who was the one who looked after you? It was this manager. Give you easy work. Since you’re the youngest, you’ll have to run errands here and there, but don’t do dangerous work. Let you do all sorts of things to gain experience. I don’t know about the other kids, but you shouldn’t have done that.’

Team Leader Yang said that the youngest sibling, whom he loved as if he was looking at his dead youngest sibling, was stuck with Director Kim, and now Director Lee and Section Chief Lee must be feeling that way. He said that he would give him just one chance.

The youngest was happy that he was alive for a short while, but then he was shocked again by Team Leader Ahn’s bombshell declaration. He was going to quit the company and join the Charlotte Hotel. Perhaps because they had already been classified, the remaining 80 or so people cheered, saying that they would actively follow Director Lee and Team Leader Ahn’s decision.

He cursed the company for exploiting him without even paying him his salary, and he was happy that they took care of him too, when only the manager and team leader could have gone. But the youngest wanted to cry again.

What did I see as I went around doing odd jobs here and there? The enormity of the company, the cruelty of the company, the fear of the company. Information manipulation, cover-ups, an endless scale. The company never forgave a traitor.

But, they say that they will attack such a company and enter the Hotel Charlotte. That is how the fight with the company began. Team leader Ahn and his staff were waiting on the hillside to set a trap and catch the strike team coming down from the company.

And the person who came there was, of all people, Director Kim. The youngest could only tremble. And now. Director Lee, now Manager Lee, was next to Manager Lee Ki-young.

The youngest looked up to the sky and begged for his life.

“Youngest, stay close to Manager Lee Ki-young and help him. There really is no next time.”

The youngest had no choice but to nod at Team Leader Ahn’s words.

“Oh, our youngest is here. Are you good at taking videos? Okay, hold this and start recording when I tell you. Our boss said he really wanted to see it.”

After Manager Lee Ki-young unlocked the phone’s fingerprint recognition, he handed it over to the youngest. The youngest, who had received the phone without thinking, looked for the video recording button.

“Hey, you piece of shit. You always ask me to have a game with you, but why are you so quiet? I’m telling you to have a 1:1 game with me?”

Manager Lee Ki-young said as he adjusted his knuckled gloves.

“Let’s end this here without hurting the kids. Why? Did you get a splinter in your back from rolling around so much earlier? You little shit, let’s have a cool 1:1 fight instead of just slapping your butt? The loser gets a real Kesak. What do you think? Don’t fall asleep?”

The information officer who was trying to stop Director Kim from running away lost sight of Director Kim Soo-hyun. It was because of the grenade he was holding in one hand.

Ah- The information officer sighed softly.

When Director Kim was in good health, there was nothing to worry about. But now, there were suspicions of fractures in his ribs and left arm. He had been given narcotic painkillers, but would that be enough? Did the dog-like Lee Ki-young know that and provoke Director Kim? For now, he had to do what he could.

The information officer put the safety pin back into the grenade he was holding.

======

======

Maru was amazed.

These kids were arguing over what they ate wrong, and then they came forward, saying they would do a 1:1 kesakbbang. They came forward like that and looked at me. What do you want me to do? Am I a judge? This is a real kesak? It’s a matter of life and death, so what can I do as a judge? Fuck.

Maru slowly raised and lowered the Japanese sword.

Taking that as a signal, Kim Soo-hyun and Lee Ki-young clashed fiercely.

Director Kim, wearing a bulletproof vest and a sword-proof suit, ran towards Lee Ki-young with his face guard tightly fastened. Lee Ki-young did not dodge either. He lightly jumped into Kim Soo-hyun’s arms and struck him with a body blow.

Thud! Thud!

Soy sauce. Soy sauce. You fucking bastard, it’s soy sauce again.

puck!

Even the thick layer of bulletproof vest was not able to completely dissipate the shock of the knuckle-studded armor. Every time I was hit in the stomach, my body felt like it was ringing like an Emile bell. The liver was the liver, but the cracked ribs were a bigger problem.

Kim Soo-hyun, who had been clenching his teeth and holding on, grabbed Lee Ki-young’s left sleeve, who had stopped for a moment while hitting him, and lifted his body slightly diagonally. His legs tangled with his arms and torso like flowing water.

Flying Ambar.

Shhh!

This manager roughly shook his left arm. Director Kim bounced around like someone who had been on the Wolmido Disco Pang Pang, but he clung to him tenaciously. The flying arm bar that seemed like it would finally be completed. Lee Ki-young bit the inside of Director Kim’s thigh.

Kwajik!

The strength suddenly left Director Kim’s arms as he was almost done with the flying arm bar.

“You fucking dog! You dirty little shit!”

“Tch- Go wash up and live, your thighs stink.”

Since it was a fight to the death, not a match, even a slightly flying armbar could not be ignored. Lee Ki-young, who had strained his left shoulder and elbow joints, checked his left shoulder and elbow carefully. If he had been a few seconds late, he would have been crushed.

Kim Soo-hyun frowned at the dull pain he felt in the back of his thigh. The effects of the narcotic painkiller were still there. He should have just endured it and cut off his left arm.

Even though I tried to drain the water from my body, I still reflexively reverted to the habits of that time. Like requesting a referee’s protest even though there was no referee.

What the fuck.

I was able to hold out to some extent thanks to the layers of clothing, but I couldn’t avoid the shock building up in my body. My liver and ribs were reaching their limits. The pain was okay, but my body was constantly being hit, so I was losing stamina.

‘Give your bones and take your life.’

Director Kim crouched like a turtle. Manager Lee fluttered like a butterfly and struck like a bee.

‘Crouching? Really?’

Lee Ki-young literally pounded Kim Soo-hyun, who was holding his guard tightly, like he was hitting a sandbag. Since he was wearing gloves with knuckles, you could see the shock building up.

Kim Soo-hyun had a bulletproof gauntlet on his forearm, but that didn’t apply to blunt weapons. And this manager’s knuckle punch was a blunt weapon, not a fist.

The guard was released against his will. He tried to hold out a little longer and then pull him in, but Kim Soo-hyun’s expression collapsed. Will the one-two come in like that? When Director Kim concentrated on nodding to avoid the one-two that was about to come in, Manager Lee’s choice was a neck clinch.

closely!

Neck clinch, tightened with a vice. Followed by a knee kick.

Sleep- sleep- George- sleep-

The manager grabbed Director Kim by the neck and drove his knee into the center. It was an opportunity for Director Kim, who was able to withstand the impact thanks to the cervical collar, to clinch the blow.

Section Chief Lee, who was excitedly kicking Director Kim’s chest, felt something… The moment he was about to break the clinch, Kim Soo-hyun caught Section Chief Lee’s knee, which had come up with a knee kick, by gently placing his knee on it.

Lee Ki-young’s body spins around, and now is the chance for Kim Soo-hyun to drag him to the ground.

And then suddenly a dull, thud-like sound. Lee Ki-young fell to the side while grabbing the opponent and, without releasing the clinch, butted Kim Soo-hyun in the jaw.

Kim Soo-hyun lost consciousness for a moment. His left arm was broken and he couldn’t use it properly. His ribs were cracked and he had trouble breathing. But it was all meaningless.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The knuckle pounding turned Kim Soo-hyun’s face into a potato. Every time Lee Ki-young hit him, Kim Soo-hyun’s limbs trembled. How many times did he hit him?

Lee Ki-young released his mount position with a relieved expression and stood up.

“Youngest- Are you taking good pictures?”

The youngest nodded his head in surprise. The youngest didn’t know what to do when he saw Director Kim’s bloody face. Even if he defeated Director Kim now, it wouldn’t mean he had defeated the company. It wasn’t even the entire Charlotte Group, it was just the Charlotte Hotel in Busan.

“Ah- Why is the youngest’s expression like that? Were you scared? You rascal- If you’re going to do this job, you can’t even blink at things like this. Make sure you film well.”

The youngest nodded. Perhaps because of the relief of having dealt with his arch-enemy, Manager Lee did not get angry at the youngest’s attitude.

“Okay, so shall we begin now?”

Lee Ki-young grabbed Director Kim’s hanging leg and made a heel hook grip. It was a somewhat awkward heel hook grip.

“If you do it like this. If you twist it.”

Crash! Kim Soo-hyun’s knee is shattered.

Director Kim only lets out groans and wriggling sounds.

“And the ankle ligaments···.”

Woohoo!

Director Kim was now unable to even scream properly.

So what’s left? Yeah, that’s what’s left.

And stamping

Kwajik!

And soccer kick!

puck!

“Hey, why is this kid’s neck so stiff?”

My neck wasn’t broken.

And soccer kick!

puck!

Soccer kick!

Bam!

This little shit is so hard. Did everything he ate go up his ass?

“Oh, shit, if I keep doing this, I’ll get kicked out. Youngest, bring me my extension cord.”

If it ain’t broke, cut it.

Director Lee Ki-young reached behind him. He glanced at the youngest, who was holding a sharp knife.

“Other than that. There’s a machete. It has a big, flat blade…”

Phew-

A sharp blade pierced through Manager Lee Ki-young’s stomach.
