Chapter 37 (1/2)

Taesung breathed a sigh of relief. When he opened the office door, nine friends of his looked up at him. But the atmosphere was still heavy. It was as if they had come to a mourner’s house.

“What the heck? What’s wrong with you guys?” Taesung asked, and a woman in a red hoodie among them opened her mouth.

“Oh, that uncle is here…”

Taesung’s eyes widened at the word ‘uncle.’

“What? Why did he come again!”

“Well, he complained we collected too little money….then even Yujin…”

“What’s wrong with Yujin!”

Shouting like that, he strode to the door with the sign, ‘President’s Office.’.

But even before he grabbed the doorknob, the door was flung open, and a woman with a haggard face appeared.

“It’s noisy…”

She looked at him with her pupils half-closed.

“…Uh??”

However, her neck was marked with sharp teeth marks.

He stepped back unwittingly.

“Yujin, you…”

“It’s noisy! Don’t open your mouth. If I smell your flesh, I’ll get hungry. I can’t stand it anymore because my head is aching!”

Yujin blurted out some nonsensical words, then turned her head with a frown where there was a man sitting in the chair of the president’s office with a baseball cap on.

“What a nasty girl… Hey, Taesung Han! Come here, boy!”

Discovering him, the man beckoned to him. Taesung clenched his fist unconsciously, but he released it and walked into the president’s office.

“Hey, Taesung.”

“….Yes, sir.”

“Why did you kill Woosuk?”

Woosuk Kim was the name of the leader of his gang. He was poor and uneducated, but he was always bright and loyal to his friends, so those children who were hovering depended on him.

“…”

Then, Woosuk turned into a monster after he met this man called ‘Uncle.’ After that, Woosuk was hungry for blood. That was why he was bent on seeking gold and broke his own to kill the survivors.

“I’m asking you. Why did you kill him?”

That was not the end of the story. Woosuk’s thirst for blood had crossed the line. Completely insane, he started to aim the necks of his friends. After all, Taesung killed him in person. The moment Woosuk attacked another friend, Taesung smashed his head from behind.

“I had no other choice because he attacked our other friends.”

“Oh, then, next time it’s Yujin’s turn to attack them. What are you going to do?”

“…”

“I told you, man. Holding it back too long is not good for you. If you suck blood moderately, you can maintain the status quo. Oh my god! I’m really pissed off because you guys can’t understand what I’m talking about.”

“Moderately? How much is that? Do you know how many Woosuk killed?”

“What? Are you now challenging me?” The man named Uncle stood up from the chair with a smile.

“As the chairman is expanding the business, he is going to include you guys. Do you think you can survive if you don’t listen to us? Huh? Tell me.”

“If you just leave us alone, we can take care of …”

“Nope, you’re wrong. If you don’t listen to us, we’re going to track you down and kill you all. Leave you alone? Are you crazy?”

Taesung bowed his head helplessly.

“Hey, Taesung.”

“Yes.

“Bring me 10,000 gold in two days. Otherwise, you’re the next target. Don’t waste money because the shop is right in front of you. Accumulate gold and wait. You know you can’t run away from us, right?”

Taesung did not dare to protest.

Bang! Bang!

However, loud bangs were heard outside the door, with something breaking and falling.

“Huh? What the fuck is that noise??”

At that moment, the door of the president’s office was opened wide. And a boy jumped in.

“Taesung! Somebody came in here!”

Uncle snorted at his urgent tone.

“Are there customers still coming to our mart here?”

“Not customers, but skulls!”

Then, someone pulled the child’s shoulder and entered the president’s office. He was holding a long sword.

“…”

He silently looked around the president’s office, then met Uncle’s eyes.

Making an embarrassed expression, Uncle slowly opened his mouth.

“Sir, may I help you?”

But the man’s lips curled up a bit and demanded, “Give me everything.”
