Episode 27: A Little Doubt.

“With a can of coffee?”

“…That’s it.”

I kindly offered a can of coffee, but Moonwaenam’s girlfriend flatly refused.

“It would be better to eat it beforehand.”

“..You eat a lot.”

Tsk. Even if you show kindness, you will not receive it.

Don’t regret it later.

Chic.

I opened a can of coffee without a word and drank it straight.

The high concentration of caffeine invaded my brain like it would overflow.

This time again, the high concentration of caffeine hit my brain and awakened me.

“..My lord, you seem to be consuming too much caffeine. I think you’d better cut down on it a bit.

Xiao tried to stop my caffeine intake, but after thinking for a moment, she backed off.

“…So. What’s the request?”

Hororok.

I closed my eyes and savored her canned coffee, ignoring my stranger’s girlfriend.

It wasn’t a high-end, deep-tasting coffee like the hot Americano or espresso sold at coffee shops, but it was like fast food brewed just for the taste.

What. You can get a feel for it.

“..Over there.”

Hororok.

I’m still a stranger, ignoring someone else’s girlfriend and drinking her coffee.

Here, you have to go out stronger so you don’t look down on him.

If you look down on me, you look down on me, my family, and my organization as a whole.

“…”

My girlfriend looked at her Crow as if she was asking for help.

Crow shrugged his shoulders and fell silent.

“Is this organization’s hobby of embarrassing people? That’s a maniac taste.”

…Hah.

I don’t even notice.

“Specializes in murder requests and infiltration requests. Villain’s name is silent, meaning he doesn’t even leave a sound. And his real name, Lee Hyeon-seo.”

I said with my eyes still closed.

Crow and Xiao acted as if it was natural for me to know Muk-eum’s real name.

Are you used to it now?

“What are you?”

But the woman who was Moonwae-nam’s girlfriend, or ‘Mum-Eum’, opened her eyes wide and glared at me.

..Are you really silent?

Are you acting rudely towards the client?

The silence shot at me with eyes full of murder, and I opened my eyes, frowning at him.

“Courtesy and etiquette, did you throw them on the road and feed them to wild dogs? Now I am your client, keep silent. Be polite.”

It was only then that I spoke with a low voice, and the silence flinched and cleared the flesh from its eyes.

Now I feel like a boss.

Kang!

I deliberately set the can down on the floor to make a loud noise.

“..Sorry. I’m rude.”

Muk-eum got up from her seat and bowed her head again.

“Greetings again. I am a villain who is personally commissioned to act. I am silent. I apologize again for my disrespect.”

“…No. I have interfered with you in the past. Please have a seat.”

Since he seems to have regained his composure, he sat down quietly.

In return, I decided to use honorifics as a sign of respect.

..After.

It’s kind of silent now.

I leaned back and crossed my arms.

“Well, as I said. There is only one quest we will do.”

Mute silently nodded his head.

Okay. Looks like you’ve figured it out so far.

“And this request must be done in strict secrecy. So…”

I made a small gesture.

“Okay boss. Here’s the contract.”

Crow immediately took out the contract from his side and put it on the desk.

Then, Muk-eum was startled and looked at me and Crow alternately.

It was as if Crow was asking me why he moved with just one gesture of my hand.

……..

Yeah… Well, it’s a fact I admit that I don’t have any dignity.

“Silence. I know you never reveal secrets. We can’t trust empty promises. So.”

Sure.

I pushed the black contract towards silence.

“If you accept this request, please agree to this contract.”

Because I have to make sure of everything.

“..What kind of request do you want?”

Silence received various requests with her abilities and made her name known in the world beneath her.

At this moment, somewhere in the lower world, people might be dying.

Get down on the cold stone floor as a bed.

Sweeping the dark stone floor with his left hand.

Looking for a hope that doesn’t even exist.

With his right hand, he grasped the spilling intestines.

Pressing down the despair that was about to explode.

The world below. It is such a place.

And making a name known in such a place is more amazing than I thought.

“It’ll be simpler than you think. I’m not asking you to assassinate anyone. Just spill some information, and put some things where I want them.”

“…It’s too easy. That’s why I can’t help but be more suspicious.”

It’s nice to be honest.

I raised my head slightly and looked down at the silence with a smile.

Perhaps… If I explain the contents of the mission to Mumum, Mumum will surely refuse.

But what can I do?

“Silent?”

“..My ears are open.”

The answer is also individual.

“I am.”

I leaned over slightly and made eye contact with silence.

“An offer you ‘never’ can’t refuse.”

I gestured again.

Xiao drew his spear and stood next to me.

The silent gaze was fixed on the tip of Xiao’s spear.

If you can refuse, why don’t you try it?

I smiled and pushed the contract deeper.

*******

“Whoa, whoa…”

A man exhaled white smoke.

The acrid and poisonous smoke ascended into the sky and gradually dispersed.

It soon reached the wooden ceiling and disappeared without a trace.

Sarak. Sarak.

The sound of flipping documents could often be heard in the silent room.

“..Damn it. The butchers have been quiet for years, and then they suddenly go nuts. We’re going to have a ‘family meeting’ soon.”

The man let out a big sigh and turned the document over again.

The man continued to rummage through and deal with the paperwork piled up on his desk while sighing.

“Tsk. I think we should send more of the kids down here.”

Suck. Skip.

The pen in his hand leaves traces of himself on the stretched paper.

While he was still signing autographs.

Kikiiik.

The door opened and someone came in.

A woman dressed in a neat maid outfit came in and approached the man and whispered.

” ‘First’. ‘Second’ has come.”

“..The ‘second’?…It can’t be.”

The first one sighed and flipped through the documents.

But when the maid didn’t leave and continued to wait, she finally looked at her maid and said.

“..Is it real? ….Sister or brother?”

The woman in the maid uniform hesitated for a moment before speaking.

“Both of you are here.”

“..What?”

The first one got up immediately from his seat.

The second ones are, so to speak, second-in-command.

That’s why second children don’t meet the first unless it’s a family meeting.

Because I knew this very well first.

First, I got up in a hurry, hoping that something hadn’t happened.

“Let me in now.”

“Okay.”

The maid nodded her head and went outside.

First, I fell into deep trouble.

‘What is it? Could it be that Butcher attacked each of the 2 branches… Nope. Butcher’s boss also has thoughts, so he won’t act so impulsively.’

From noble mtl dot com

First, I came up with tens of thousands of hypotheses, but none of them were certain.

There is only one piece of evidence to elevate this hypothesis to a law.

Because they were the second children, the first continued to stare at the door.

Kikik.

After a while, the first one heard the sound he had been waiting for so long.

“Brother~!!!”

Her younger sister ran in first and greeted her older brother.

“It’s been a while. Brother.”

And soon after, the younger brother came in with a stiff expression and greeted them in a formal manner.

“..Yes. What happened to this place?”

The first asked, pushing her little sister away.

“Of course I came because I wanted to see my first brother!!”

The younger sister tried to cling to her older brother with her cute charms, but the older one pushed her away and turned her gaze to her younger brother.

“..Sorry bro. It’s no big deal, but..”

“No. It would be a big deal if you guys came to visit. Come on, tell me.”

The little brother hesitated for a moment, then she said.

“..There was a quarrel with the butcher in the second district.”

“…What?”

The first shook his head in amazement.

There was a fight.

At first glance, it looks light.

We must not forget.

This is the underworld.

“… Any casualties?”

“We have 12 dead and 2 wounded. I don’t know about Butcher.”

“I’m going crazy.”

It was a fairly small battle for a battle with Butcher, but the first one was relieved that it was a small battle, and I loosened my tie.

“I’m afraid it won’t work. I’ll have to call a family meeting immediately. I’m sorry. I’ll leave first.”

After thinking about it for a while, the first one immediately went out and only the second ones remained.

Cold stillness.

But the silence did not last long.

“..Did it work?”

The second man looked back at the second woman and asked.

“..It seems so.”

The second woman, who immediately wiped the smile from her face as she approached her first, sighed and said:

“Damn it. It’s so f*cking hard to do this disgusting thing while laughing.”

The second woman sat down on her sofa with her legs spread wide, and clicked her tongue with her tut.

“So. Is that information really true? I believed in that information and killed 12 kids under me? If it’s fake…”

The second woman opened her eyes and looked at the second man.

A cool, sharp wind began to fill the space.

“The kids under you should be prepared too.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. It’s information purchased from ‘Mute’.”

“..’Silent’? I must have spent some money.”

When the name of silence was mentioned, the second woman nodded her head and agreed.

The sharp wind stopped.

“So. I came here while making justifications. Well… Shouldn’t there be a harvest? What evidence are you looking for?”

“There’s no need to worry about that. According to the information, they keep in touch through letters so that no records are left behind..”

Kikiiik.

“Are you there, first lady?”

The door opened and someone came in.

The heads of the two second heads turned in that direction in an instant.

“You have a letter…”

“The eldest brother went away for a while, so we’ll keep it. Thank you!”

The second woman snatched the letter she was carrying in her maid outfit and slammed the door.

“..Is this?”

The second woman came back waving the letter.

“It’s very likely. Go ahead and read it.”

“Okay!”

The first woman waved her hand in the air.

A sharp wind blowing from somewhere tore the paper.

“Hmm… Let’s see…”

The second woman took out a letter from the torn stationery and read it slowly.

A moment of silence.

“What is it? Is it clear evidence?”

“…Wow.”

The second woman smiled heartily.

“Caught.”

********

“..Are you serious?”

The silence was looking at me with a bewildered expression.

I answered as I looked at the contract that was slowly disintegrating from my hand.

“Why? There’s nothing I can’t do.”

Suck!

I inhaled the black smoke, and soon the silence also inhaled the black smoke.

“Isn’t that too lax? To suspect it because of just one letter. And the family.”

“hahahaha. Are you kidding?”

I looked at the silence.

“Who do you think the Seconds are?”

The second is the number two.

The losers who failed to win first place with strength and power.

That’s why they keep in check and constantly doubt the first people who are the number one.

Is blood thicker than water?

No, not at all.

In the face of power and money, blood becomes thinner than water.

This has been proven by the past, which is history, and the present, which is now.

That’s why the second children aim for the first place.

However, not many people know about this fact because drug families do not meet each other often and only meet during family meetings.

“The family relationship of the drug family is at least not like the family relationship you know. It’s more like a f*cking relationship.”

Trust between drug families is already like a cracked wall.

All I have to do is drill a small hole in the wall.

“And those relationships are usually all too easy to break down. Maybe they can’t control the self-invented doubts and start infighting?”

And it is not my job to widen the hole I am drilling.

Chic.

I opened another can of coffee.

The foolish ones will gradually spread it out with the shovel of doubt.

Hororok.

I had one shot of canned coffee.
