After morning training ended, lunch time arrived.

After finishing my meal with the members, I used the interlude to briefly investigate the ‘Happiness Guild’ that attempted to scout Jin Seo-won… .

‘These guys… . ‘How big have you grown your business?’

As a result, I was able to realize once again that black society is much bigger than I thought.

The reason why the ‘Citizen Love Welfare Corps’, a sub-organization of the Black Society, got involved with the Happiness Guild, an unknown guild that had no proper results, was most likely to raise funds.

According to statistics, there are about 300 guilds per year that disappear without activity after registration… .

It was difficult to estimate how much money would have been returned in this way and its scale.

‘This is why they are trying to rob the National Intelligence Service.’

I stroked my chin and rolled my head thoughtfully.

From the moment we realized that black society was creating unexpected variables, we had ample justification to eliminate black society.

What I need now is a justification for me to mess with black society.

A person named Baro Do Ji-hyeok needed a reason to step forward.

‘How can I punish these bastards…’ .’

In the original work, Seol Joo-hee suddenly received a request from the National Intelligence Service and began working together.

In other words, it means that the National Intelligence Service selected Seol Joo-hee.

Conversely, it also means that I cannot work with the National Intelligence Service.

In the current situation, it would be completely unreasonable for me to approach the National Intelligence Service first.

No matter how close a person is to a public figure, wouldn’t it make no sense to ask for cooperation from the National Intelligence Service?

That’s why I need a reason to take revenge on black society and stand up for myself.

‘What would be better… .’

The fastest and surest thing is to touch people within the black community.

Because revenge was more persuasive and certain than any other cause.

But it’s really difficult for people around me to be harmed.

All I want is a simple trigger, not really someone getting hurt.

‘There is no proper way.’

While I was racking my brain for a while and thinking of a way for me to move forward.

“… !”

A thought suddenly occurred to me.

I wonder, is there really a need for me to step forward?

‘Producer Do Ji-hyuk’ is close to a public figure.

Status is also status, and thanks to the fact that it has been ignored until now, it has lost its face and has no justification to confront the black society.

but… .

What if you’re not a producer?

It is not ‘Do Ji-hyuk’ who is fighting against the black society… .

What if it is an ‘anonymous person’?

*

Immediately after deciding to eliminate black society.

I began to make a preliminary research plan, recalling the information from the original work.

The first goal is the Citizen Love Welfare Corps.

It is a place where the external business of the Black Society gathers, and is a lower organization that corresponds to a kind of middle management position.

In the original work, Seol Joo-hee worked here undercover to dig up information, beat up black society executives, and began drawing a big picture of eradicating black society… .

As an avid reader who remembered all the general information, I planned to approach it in a slightly different way.

“Wow… .”

Bang Han-na reacts as if she is surprised by the sophisticated building.

This is your daily partner who will help you collect today’s information.

“The building is very pretty… !”

Unlike usual, she was wearing a clean, thin shirt and long pants, giving off a mature look.

Perhaps because he was so tall, it felt much more fitting than his usual lively look.

“When I looked it up, I heard that the building was rebuilt to be a restaurant.”

“Really?So these are all restaurants…? ?”

Despite its affectionate name, the Citizens’ Love Welfare Foundation building is located in a fairly wealthy area.

According to the original information, Yoon Jae-deok, the representative of the welfare group and an executive of the Black Society, resides deep in the basement of a building marked as a warehouse.

First of all, in order to catch Jaedeok Yoon, you need to know the overall structure of the building.

Of course, the best way is to run around and check the surroundings of the building, but if a person named ‘Do Ji-hyuk’ suddenly spies on the building of the Citizen Love Welfare Corps, it would inevitably look strange to anyone.

So the method I chose was indirect spying.

Under the pretext of meeting each member for a meal, they made reservations at a restaurant right across from the welfare center building.

“I’m a little nervous, perhaps because it’s my first time seeing a place that looks this expensive… .”

“Even though it’s expensive, it’s a restaurant where you can get a full meal. I think it’s enough to be educated.”

“Ha, the most expensive course is 6,000 won… .”

Even though she was a little dispirited, Bang Han-na quickly took out her cell phone and took a proof photo.

It looked strangely cute, so I couldn’t help but smile a little.

‘It’s a good thing I brought you here.’

Originally, I was going to have a meal with Lim A-rin.

However, because she is very quick-witted and is a well-known celebrity, she deliberately brought Hanna Bang with her.

“… … .”

As I naturally turned my gaze away from Bang Hanna, I took a close look at the Welfare Foundation building erected across from me.

The building of the Citizens’ Love Welfare Foundation had an ordinary appearance, as if it had been built a long time ago, but the windows were tightly covered with blinds, making it look quite closed.

‘There are three guards… .’

There are a total of three security personnel confirmed externally.

Two people were seen wandering around the building as if on patrol, and one person was manning the entrance to the underground parking lot.

Looking at his strangely scary appearance, slightly visible tattoos that he couldn’t hide, and the fact that he has D-level or higher abilities, it seems like he belongs to a dark society.

‘It would be better to drill into the underground parking lot.’

In the original work, Seol Joo-hee recklessly broke down the front door and broke through head-on into the charging members of the Black Society.

As a reader, I really liked the cool fight scene, but considering that Yoon Jae-deok almost escaped because of it, I thought it would have been better to break into the underground parking lot and deal with Yoon Jae-deok alone.

“Producer!”

At that time, Bang Han-na, who was taking pictures, spoke to me.

“Time is up!”

It was soon time to go into the restaurant.

*

“Wow… . The interior here is very pretty… !”

After entering the restaurant, Bang Han-na and Ji-hyuk took a seat by the window with a clear view of the building across from them, as they had reserved.

The reason was that I wanted to sit in a place with a good view of the outside scenery and eat without feeling stuffy, but in reality, it was so that Do Ji-hyuk could comfortably spy on the building across from him.

“Shall we do wine pairing?”

“Wine pairing… ?”

“A glass of wine is provided for each course.”

“Ah, good… !”

While Do Ji-hyuk was ordering food in a familiar manner.

“… … .”

Bang Hanna was once again appreciating Do Ji-hyuk, who was sitting across from her.

Unlike usual, the hair was lightly arranged and not flipped.

Even his strong forearms are revealed beneath his neatly rolled-up shirt.

It wasn’t my first time seeing him, but my heart started pounding slightly at the new feeling of his adultness.

‘With that hand…’ .’

At that time, after leaving the country, I was swallowing my saliva and harboring insidious thoughts.

Sigh─

Suddenly, Do Ji-hyuk shifted his gaze and made eye contact.

“… !”

Bang Han-na, who was slightly startled, reflexively averted her gaze, as if she had been caught doing something embarrassing.

Do Ji-hyuk didn’t seem to notice anything strange and spoke vaguely.

“Have you contacted Seowon?”

When I asked what he meant, it turned out to be another woman’s story.

‘… This is the story of Seowon… .’

Bang Han-na reacted slightly sensitively to the story of Jin Seo-won, who was not present.

Because Jin Seo-won was a person who was no different from his romantic rival.

Of course, because he was the leader, he received the benefit of being invited to the dinner table first, but the mention of Jin Seo-won, who was not present, felt a little annoying.

“Oh, I haven’t tried it yet… !”

Hannah Bang desperately managed her expression and answered.

OK… .

“I don’t know if I’ve eaten. Would you like to contact me?”

To make matters worse, he asked me if I wanted to eat and said something unexpected.

‘If I’m really hungry, I’ll eat… .’

Bang Han-na was dissatisfied with Do Ji-hyuk treating Jin Seowon like a child.

Of course, it is Jin Seo-won Eun-ae, but… .

It seemed like they were treating Jinseowon in a special way, so I could understand it, but I was also a little dissatisfied.

“Wait a minute… .”

Bang Han-na takes out her cell phone and sends a message to Jin Seo-won.

[ Me: Have you eaten?]

[ Seowon: Not yet ]

Eventually, I received a reply from Jinseowon saying that I didn’t eat it… .

“I’m going to skip dinner again… .”

Do Ji-hyuk immediately took out his cell phone and asked Jin Seo-won for a photo of dinner as proof.

Bang Han-na, who was quietly watching the scene, was relieved again by Do Ji-hyuk’s unusual appearance.

‘okay… . There’s no way someone like Seowon would feel that way.’

Jin Seo-won is a person of interest who receives Do Ji-hyuk’s attention and affection.

At the same time, he is a type that is far from Do Ji-hyuk’s ideal type.

Rather, thanks to Jinseowon, Do Ji-hyeok has become more dependent on Bang Hanna.

To Bang Han-na, Jin Seo-won can literally be seen as an entity close to love and hate.

“Excuse me. We will prepare wine along with the first amuse bouche.”

For a while, the two people spent time with different thoughts, and the food finally started to come out.

“Wow… .pretty… .”

Bang Han-na, who was quickly distracted, decided to enjoy the meal in front of her first.

“… … .”

Do Ji-hyuk looked closely at the welfare center building towering outside the window.

*

“… … .”

Seol Joo-hee, who was left alone after a long time since Hong Yu-ra left the house, was lying on her bed and absently spying on social media.

She had recently been feeling like there was a hole in her chest.

The more I thought about Do Ji-hyuk, the deeper my hatred grew.

The feeling of betrayal towards Lim A-rin, who stuck with Do Ji-hyuk, grew stronger.

So, I took medication every day to force myself to empty my brain and just looked at social media… .

As each day passed, a faint emptiness was filling her heart.

It really felt like I was living because I couldn’t die.

“… … .”

While Seol Joo-hee was absentmindedly fiddling with her cell phone.

Tiring─

A message came from an anonymous SNS account.

[ Credit safe transaction! 1g 15.0… … ]

It was an advertisement about illegal drugs that often appears.

“… … .”

Seol Joo-hee always thought that people who enjoyed illegal drugs were really stupid.

Because I thought that ingesting poisons that lead to destruction was literally tantamount to self-harm.

I really couldn’t understand what kind of spirit they were putting their hands on.

“… … .”

It was definitely like that… .

Suddenly, as if something had happened, he started replying to the advertising message.

Knock-knock-knock-

It was a feeling of insensitivity, a change in everyday life, and a little prank.

‘… Because we’re not really living anyway… .’

Seol Joo-hee moved her fingers while rationalizing it in her mind, but thought it was a truly absurd action.

No matter how much of a joke it was, there was no need to talk to these scum of society.

[For more details, please contact me via messenger @iceking7272]

but.

Exciting─Exciting─Exciting─

Seol Ju-hee felt her heart beating loudly for the first time in a long time.

It was the feeling of immorality that one feels when doing something morally wrong.

“… … .”

Seol Joo-hee turned on the messenger, found the other person’s account, and tried to talk to him.

[If you want to purchase it, Gangnam-gu, Seoul… ]

‘… Because I’m not really doing it… .’

As if possessed by something, he announced his intention to purchase.
