“Why are you doing this, brother? Is the money Kang Na-ri sent this time not enough?”

“Do you think it’s not enough? That’s more of a problem.”

An area on the outskirts of the capital, a little away from Euncheon-gu.

In an office running a private loan business, a man with a black crucian carp tattoo was quietly looking at his smartphone.

A man with the fierce size and aura of a tiger covered in steel.

The boss of the Heukbung faction, who runs a loan shark organization. B-class hunter Park Cheol-woo.

At first glance, he looked quite unhappy as he tapped the desk with his fingers as hard as iron.

Park Cheol-woo frowned as he checked the money deposited into his account on his cell phone.

“Tsk… You’re a bitch who has been borrowing money because you can’t even pay back the interest. I heard you’ve been picking up waste paper from the streets recently? But do you think it makes sense to pay off the entire principal in one day?”

“……Didn’t they use private loans from somewhere else to block it?”

“야 이 빡대가리야. 이미 빚쟁이인 년한테 잘도 돈을 빌려주겠다. 사채업자가 뭐 땅 파서 장사하냐? 어? 봉칠이 너는 반지하 거지새끼한테도 돈 빌려줄 거야?”

“I’m sorry, brother. I was short-tempered.”

A subordinate who was adding a comment to his story bowed his head.

Even so, does my anger not go away? Park Cheol-woo roughly placed his cell phone on the desk and called his subordinates waiting outside.

Soon, two men enter the office.

A man with a crucian carp tattoo and a scar over his right eye, and a giant who reminds me of a large bear.

About a month ago, they were loan sharks who visited Euncheon-gu to take Kang Na-ri away.

Quang!

Park Cheol-woo threw the ashtray on the desk at his subordinates who entered the office.

A large man was hit squarely on the forehead with a heavy glass ashtray and was rolling around on the floor.

Either way, Park Cheol-woo shouted at the scarred man who was silently lowering his head.

“How are you doing your job!!!”

“……I’m sorry, Brother Park Cheol-woo.”

“What did you say to me a month ago? Say it again, you idiot.”

“While trying to get Kang Na-ri into the car, a body fell from the sky. So, before there was any trouble…”

Wow!

Before he knew it, Park Cheol-woo came up to the man and punched him in the stomach.

The man slumped forward, gasping for breath due to a sincere punch from a B-class hunter.

“Whoops…! Whoops…!”

“So. Did you hear that a body was discovered in Euncheon-gu? Did the [detective] even move?”

“S-sorry…”

“You were fooled, you idiot. There are so many different skills in the world, how can there not be a skill to create a ‘fake corpse’?”

And then the kick that follows.

Park Cheol-woo beat his subordinate mercilessly.

A month ago.

It was okay when the subordinates who had been sent to retrieve Kang Na-ri returned empty-handed, saying that they almost got caught up in a murder case.

Because I was doing a dirty job, I didn’t want to make unnecessary noise.

I didn’t care about the fact that Na-ri Kang was given an extra month, since we had nothing to lose anyway.

It doesn’t really matter if she repays the debt during that time, or if she doesn’t.

There are many ways to get your money back.

Moreover, one of his subordinates had incredible skills in chasing people, so there was no need to worry about running away.

But why?

There was no news that a body had been found in Euncheon-gu.

And Kang Na-ri paid off all her debts.

It was okay.

That’s because Park Cheol-woo just needs to keep the money.

(I heard the news. My brother borrowed money here and paid it all back yesterday?)

(He’s so amazing. He’s my little brother after all. No matter how screwed up he is, I guess you can’t fool his bloodline.)

(But… you guys are loan sharks.)

(Why do you do business so honestly?)

(If I pay them this much money… will it make them a little less honest?)

But it’s not okay anymore.

Kang Nari must be destroyed.

“Whoa… whoa… I’m sorry. I’m in a really bad mood right now.”

“Ugh… Gwae, it’s okay… Brother.”

“Bongchil.”

“Yes, brother.”

“얘네들 좋은 거 먹이면서 잘 돌봐주고, 강나리 그년이랑, 그년한테 돈 빌려준 새끼, 가짜 시체로 장난질한 새끼까지… 전부 찾아서 조져.”

“Please leave it to me.”

Park Cheol-woo, who could barely control his anger, gave orders to his subordinates while wiping away the blood that had spattered on his shoes.

… … .

“Brother. Nari Kang has a position. She is working at a small cafe in Euncheon-gu.”

Three hours later. His subordinates who completed the background investigation in Euncheon-gu sent him some photos.

It was a photo secretly taken of the interior of a cafe from a van parked on the side of the road.

Nari Kang brews coffee with a bright smile on her face, as if she has paid off her debt and started her life properly.

A bunny girl wearing a bun hat.

A beautiful woman looking precisely in the direction of the camera with an expressionless face.

And, chatting intimately with the rabbit girl at the counter… a beautiful woman with an attractive languid smile and eye smile.

… … Does this cafe hire its employees based solely on appearance?

“The cafe owner is a civilian with no skills, and the other clerk is a hunter who was recently promoted to E-class. Can we catch him?”

“Bongchil. If a hunter touches a civilian by mistake, he goes straight to hell. You have to be careful.”

“Are we really at the bottom?”

“The bastard’s answer is… Okay. For now, just quietly bring that E-class hunter. Let’s check what he knows. Kang Na-ri can come at any time, so leave it alone and start cleaning up the surrounding area.”

“I’ll send the kids right away. Let’s go, brother.”

After giving instructions to his subordinates, he was left alone in the office.

Park Cheol-woo was pounding on the desk and thinking.

Kang Na-ri pays off all her private loans in one day and regains her freedom.

At first, I thought the [Blue Dragon Family] might have paid me back.

Still, we are family.

It was a family with a lot of money, so I thought they would definitely be able to do that.

But, this morning.

Someone visited the Heukbungpa office.

With a large amount of money that is several orders of magnitude different from the money Kang Na-ri paid back yesterday.

(What you need to do is simple.)

(My brother will eventually be unable to repay his debt and will be sold across the sea without a word.)

(It’s a really sad story, right?)

With this much money, you could kill someone.

In other words, it really means killing a few people.

‘Tsk… Those guys got involved in a family fight… As soon as this is over, I’ll go overseas with my subordinates.’

Until then, I hope nothing happens.

He looked down at his heavily filled bank account and smiled involuntarily.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Old man. What are you? Are you a monster?”

“Hehe. I’m just an old security guard.”

6 pm.

Saetbyeol Apartment security room.

Eunha was sitting on a chair in the security office and talking to an elderly security guard.

[Silhouette] I saw from my apartment window the other day.

Didn’t the old guard save Eunha, who was almost killed by them because the rules were omitted?

So, a lot of internal intimacy towards the elderly was built up.

So much so that I bought a box of soy milk on my way back from the cafe and came to the security office to hang out.

Even in [The Black Book], the old guard didn’t take any special precautions… so he might be the only safe person in this apartment.

An old man who is reminded of a huge castle wall.

Eunha asked a question, holding out the [Black Book] to the elderly man.

“Do you know what this is?”

“If it is lost or damaged, I will have to hand it back to you.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1-1. If the guide is lost or damaged

– Please visit the security office at the entrance of the apartment in person to receive a new one.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rules written in the [Black Book].

The elderly man who mentioned this as if it were obvious responded by making a clay doll.

The smell of warm earth soaked in sunlight passes by the tip of Eunha’s nose.

“There is an order to everything. You will find out naturally when the time comes.”

“I am the type of person who looks at the answers first when solving a question paper.”

“That way you won’t be able to grow properly.”

“Do you mean to keep dying until you realize it?”

“Think of it as growing pains.”

Despite Eunha’s continued questions, the old man gave vague answers and made clay.

The carefully crafted clay dolls seem to come to life and move at any moment.

I’ve been making clay dolls for a long time. Where do I store the finished dolls?

Eunha chewed her lips as she watched the old man molding clay.

I don’t plan on telling you the secret of [The Black Book] until the end.

It doesn’t harm the galaxy, but it doesn’t mean it’s an ally.

I felt a little disappointed, but decided to think that good things are good things.

Ultimately, this is a problem that Eunha must solve alone.

Let’s just say there’s a friendly NPC.

“Haha… I’m having some growing pains. When the growing pains are over, I’ll be taller than my apartment.”

“Hehehehe. That’s right. You will become a bigger person than anyone else.”

“Okay. Then I’ll just go home. Enjoy your soy milk.”

“Be careful.”

With an unresolved feeling of discomfort in the back of her mind, Eunha parted ways with the old man and left the security room.

it will work out somehow.

[Self-recovery] is also available, so it will be okay.

Didn’t Eunha pass the promotion exam?

You never know.

If we continue to be close to the elderly like this, something good will happen.

『… … Our ‘grudges’ are bound by rules. miss. Please take a look.』

『… … .』

Just like that, I saw the back of Eunha heading towards the apartment,

The old guard watched with the clay doll he had made.

… … .

… … .

Buuung-u.

And then, a few hours later.

Late at night, a starless night sky covers the earth.

A jet black van quietly entered the Saetbyul Apartments.

“Is this the right place?”

“Yes, my brother told me. I said it’s room 904, so let’s go quickly.”

Men with black carp tattoos on their bodies…

Two members of the loan shark organization ‘Heukbungpa’ got out of the car, feeling sore.

They are the ones who came to take away Eunha, an E-class hunter and an employee of the cafe where Kang Na-ri works.

“Wow, she’s so fucking pretty… Hey, do we really have to just take her? It’s such a waste.”

“Just do as your brother tells you. Go back quickly and have a drink…”

『I don’t think I’m a resident of the apartment complex. “What brought you here?”

At that time, to the two people who were looking at Eunha’s photos on their cell phones and grinning,

An old man dressed as a security guard spoke to me.
