31 – Ganghwaryeon, daughter of Heuksanhoe (2)

Suddenly, memories of the past came to my mind.

It happened when Hong Joo-sung had a fight.

At that time, Ganghwa-ryun clearly said this.

– Hey. Han Seo-joon Don’t be dragged around by such an asshole. I know you don’t like fighting, but others can see you as a hogu. I can’t stand it at that time.

That was a ridiculous statement.

He didn’t put up with it because he hated fighting, but because he couldn’t.

However, Ganghwa-ryun was talking as if I was putting up with her on purpose.

“Ganghwaryun.”

He called her Ganghwa-ryun’s name in a low voice.

She couldn’t understand her words at all.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding something?

“Do you know about my ability?”

“Ah. Of course.”

Ganghwa-ryun Pick laughed and shook her head.

“Aren’t you a support character?”

My abilities are nerfed and buffed.

In other words, it is the power that weakens and strengthens the ability.

My ability was quite strong enough to completely destroy Choi Seo-yoon’s ability to communicate, but there was a fatal flaw.

“I know that. But why did you say I’m strong? Isn’t it a bit strange to say that support-type abilities are strong?”

The ability is activated only when the body is directly touched.

This is a really big downside.

If you can’t approach it, it means it’s useless.

The rank of ability is high, but the practicality is low.

In other words, it is difficult to use in practice.

Because of its practicality, it received a rather low evaluation in the academy.

“Because you saved me.”

Ganghwa-ryun looked up into the air once as if recalling her past and slowly floated her rhyme, and I blinked her eyes and looked at her. What?

“I saved you? What are you talking about?”

“There is nothing difficult about it. Literally.”

As I looked at her with her embarrassed face, Ganghwa-ryun seemed to like my reaction as she slightly lifted the corner of her mouth and gently bit her lollipop with her molars.

“I was almost killed by a member of another faction, but you helped me, right? Ah. Of course, I can’t remember right now.”

Danger of S-Rank Ganghwaryeon dying?

Again, did I help you in that situation?

f*ck.

Are you really a crazy bastard?

Why did you do such a crazy thing?

…… Of course, I think it would have helped because of my personality, but it’s a bit like that, isn’t it?

“Did I really help you?”

“Is that right?”

To be honest, it was hard to believe.

It was realistic to dismiss it as a mere joke.

However, Ganghwa-ryun was talking with a serious look. It didn’t seem like she was spouting lies for fun.

“At that time, Dagul was a bit dangerous because I was an A-ranked talent.”

“Ah.”

“I was barely running away from the chase, but the bleeding and poisoning were worse than I thought, so my mind went back and forth. Just in time, I was able to live because of your help.”

Ganghwa-ryun shrugged her shoulders once and gently brushed her hair behind her.

“She barely held on and then fell unconscious. I don’t know the exact situation, but from the circumstances, it looks like you knocked out the gang member you were chasing.”

“…… Aren’t you a fairly high-ranking person to the point of threatening you?”

How can I knock it down?

“Yes. It was because he was a high ranker among our Black Mountain Society. B-A rank Awakeners have been chasing them.”

…… I said I fought B~A ranks?

No, did you run away without fighting?

Of course, even if they ran away, it wouldn’t have been easy.

“Ah, of course I took down most of them, and there was only one left. Do you know Park Soo-hyun, a B-rank hunter?”

“I have heard of it.”

Park Soo-hyun, a B-rank hunter belonging to Heuksanhoe.

A person with the ability to create materials.

Its characteristic is that it attacks by generating deadly poison within its body.

“Is it true that I, before losing my memory, defeated Park Soo-hyun?”

“Perhaps? If I hadn’t, I would have died long ago?”

Ganghwa-ryun said, biting down on her candy.

“Well, I don’t know the exact situation because I passed out, but I mean.” “… ….”

Park Soo-Hyun was a person with the ability to use poison, so if he was lucky, I might have won.

Because of my ability, Park Soo-hyun’s poison might not have worked in the first place.

If so, wouldn’t it be possible for him to play the role of pretending to be poisoned and take advantage of the gap?

…… Well, it’s just my delusion.

‘Ha ha. Really. What’s going on?’

Anyway, do you think I’m strong just because I defeated Park Soo-hyun?

That’s kind of weird.

Does Ganghwa-ryun know about my ability?

Buffs and nerf abilities that are less practical.

It is a bit difficult to understand how to describe myself as strong simply because I defeated Park Soo-hyun.

There’s something else I don’t know.

Let’s hurry up and ask Ganghwaryun.

“I have a few questions for you… ….”

“Ah. Wait for a sec. I think we have arrived.”

“Already?”

“Yes. We’ll talk about the rest later.”

The vehicle was in a situation where it had reached its destination.

I couldn’t hide my slight regret.

However, he shook his head well and brushed off his regret.

There are plenty of opportunities to speak later, so let’s not be too impatient.

Kang Hwa-ryun peeked out the window.

I also followed her gaze and moved her head.

Then, beyond the wide gate, the scenery of the garden unfolded in front of both eyes.

“Isn’t my house pretty?”

Manicured gardens and ponds.

A Nishikigoi swimming around.

Green trees and a secluded pavilion.

It reminded me of a palace or hanok of the Joseon Dynasty.

“My father’s house, to be exact.”

The home of Cheol-Hwan Kang.

I came into the most closed and dangerous thug den in Korea.

“You can clearly see the tension on his face. Don’t be too nervous At best, I’ll just have a meal and have a little talk with my dad.”

You may be just a dad, but I’m not.

He’s the biggest gang leader in Korea.

It’s kind of scary.

“Well, the families of the other factions can do some nonsense, but don’t worry too much.”

“Uh, yes.”

“Dad just finished tidying up.”

“What about tidying up?”

“Ah. What… ….”

Hwaryeon Gang glanced at my face.

He seemed to be paying attention.

After clearing her throat once, she immediately turned her head away.

“I’ll just say that there have been some personnel changes within the Heuksanhoe.”

Why is it so unsettling to say that there was a personnel transfer?

– Ah. Are you okay though? Wouldn’t it be better to just play the tools? Even the water in the Han River is cool these days.

I remembered what Isol said.

She casually mentioned the tools and shrugged her shoulders.

Of course, I joked about it, saying it was a joke, but I was afraid of the actions and thoughts of not being from a gangster family.

“And again.”

“Huh?”

“I am here.”

From noble mtl dot com

“Huh?”

Ganghwa-ryun glanced at her, blushing slightly.

“No, what. Since you are my benefactor, I wanted to tell you that I am on your side.”

As if he was a little embarrassed as he spoke, he glanced away and scratched his cheek.

“Anyway, our faction is the strongest.”

“What about your clique?”

“Yes. My mom belonged to it, so it belongs to the Gangnam faction.”

“Oh, is that so?”

The Gangnam Faction is a violent organization that once dominated the Seoul area.

“So don’t worry too much. If anything happens, I’ll help you.”

“Yes. Thank you.”

Kang Hwa-ryun reacted as if he was a little embarrassed.

She nibbled at the lollipop.

Soon the car door opened.

“My lady has arrived.”

“Thanks Uncle.”

A grim old man glanced at me.

Her ugly scars were all over her face.

f*ck. A bit scared

“Your lady is here!”

As I stepped out of the vehicle, dozens of rice cakes waiting around me lowered their backs and raised their voices.

The shape of him lowering his head left and right in perfect order seemed very familiar.

I gulped down dry saliva as I stared at the idiot swings.

It is burdensome in many ways to be greeted surrounded by dozens of thugs.

“It’s a show off. Do not care about it.”

“Show off?”

I shuddered at her words and slightly looked away, but in the distance I saw several members of the organization just watching Odokani.

It was not a friendly atmosphere.

I was watching this side by side.

“It’s not our side. Because it belongs to another faction. Tsk.”

“I see.”

It seemed that the conflict between the factions was really serious.

“Oh, that’s right. Let me tell you a few things to keep in mind.”

Ganghwa-ryun floated her luck while walking toward the hanok.

“You don’t have to worry too much about other people. Because of this incident, her father punished her a lot, so her limbs…… Oh, this is a figurative expression. Anyway, that’s why I lost my strength, but that year is a little different.”

That year?

Ganghwa-ryun, who usually doesn’t swear in front of me, chewed her lips once and muttered in a menacing tone.

“Yes. I have a b*tch like a snake. It’s cheap because it looks like Ji Ami…… Ah, hmm.”

Kang Hwa-ryeon glanced at my face with one eye in the middle.

“No, anyway. Beware the purple-haired girl.”

“If it’s a girl with purple hair…… Yoojung Kang?”

“I know. That’s right. Yoojung Kang. Tsk.”

Ganghwa-ryun clicked her tongue as if she didn’t want to even think about it.

“I have heard of Kang Yoo-jung a few times.”

Kang Cheol-hwan’s second daughter, Kang Yoo-jeong.

Her maternal side belongs to the Suwon faction and is known as the largest organization in Gyeonggi-do. In charge of loan business, finance, multi-level, etc.

“Because he is a bit dangerous. If you ever talk to them, don’t respond to them one by one, just ignore them. Okay?”

“Uh, huh.”

I also don’t want to get involved with dangerous people.

“Whoa. Actually, I have more things to say, but I thought it would be late if I didn’t go soon.”

Ganghwa-ryun put her candy back in her mouth and munched.

“Because I just have to listen carefully to my father. Understand?”

She continued to move her steps with Ganghwa-ryun, who gave her attention several times.

I passed through the garden and entered the inside of the hanok.

Expensive ornaments were strewn about.

I just silently follow Kanghwaryun.

How much time has passed like that?

She came to the door before she knew it.

A few people in suits gathered near the large door.

I glanced at me once and turned her head away, frowning at her.

The gaze was not favorable.

“I’m here. It’s a restaurant.”

Hwaryeon Kang ignored them and opened the door, revealing the scenery inside the restaurant.

A large table was placed in the center of the dining room.

It was a table long enough to seat dozens of people.

Soon, the delicacies on top caught my eye.

The variety of food was really great.

Beef seaweed soup, seasoned eggplant, pickled cucumber, bulgogi in earthen pot, cold eggplant, kimjang kimchi, seasoned bean sprouts, bellflower sprouts, perilla sesame soup, seasoned sweet potatoes, raw meat, bellflower root, kimchi stew, short rib soup, zucchini greens, tarak porridge…… What’s so much

“Are you late?”

At that time.

A voice full of decadent beauty caressed my ear.

“It’s too late. It must have come just in time.”

Ganghwa-ryun replied by clicking her tongue, and I turned my gaze to the source of the voice. Then I could see a woman’s face. She was a woman with her purple hair, and she was dealing with Ganghwa-ryun with a smile on her face.

That woman is Yujeong Kang.

“…… Mmm.”

I slightly turned my head.

There were three men and women besides Kang Hwa-ryun and Kang Yoo-jeong.

All of them were faces I had seen at least once in the Hunter Gallery.

All of them were Kang Cheol-hwan’s children.

“… ….”

They were just glancing at me, not liking me.

After hesitating for a while, I followed Ganghwa-ryun and sat down next to her.

After a while.

Some time has passed.

“Oh, yes. Everyone has gathered.”

A grave male voice was heard from the door. Ganghwa-ryun and others who had been seated rose from their seats.

I also jumped up from my seat without noticing.

“Sit down.”

At that word, everyone sat down, and I tried to sit down too…….

“Yes. Did we come to Hanseobang?”

Suddenly, the middle-aged man laughed and said.

“Oh, Dad?”

Ganghwa-Ryeon only raised her voice in surprise.

“…… ?”

…… Hanseobang?

What is this?

No, wait a minute.

But why didn’t Ganghwa-ryun explain this?
