96 – Childhood Friend and Girlfriend (2)

97.

Heuksanhoe.

It is a typical corporate gang.

The Heuksan Group, founded by the union of the Gangnam Faction, Suwon Faction, Geumjeong Faction, Guhan Faction, and Bukseong Faction, can be seen as Korea’s largest gangster organization.

Externally, they are legally engaged in lending, construction, finance, and automobile businesses, but they are illegally manipulating stock prices, extortion, multi-level, and illegal websites.

Of course, as the size of the organization grows, illegal businesses are being reduced, but they do not hesitate to use swords for profit.

A gangster who spreads black ash.

Even though it has become a company, that much remains the same.

The current Heuksanhoe has far exceeded the standard of a general gang.

It is exerting considerable influence like the overseas mafia, yakuza, and triads.

Even the public authorities do not dare to touch Heuksanhoe, and the members of the National Assembly are managed through bribery and violence.

Thanks to that, even if they are implicated in a crime and sent to prison, they will only be released with a non-prosecution disposition.

What is the reason Heuksanhoe was able to grow so far despite not being a developing country with serious corruption?

The reason is simple.

It is because of Kang Cheol-hwan.

Kang Cheol-hwan.

He is no ordinary gangster.

He is one of the few S rank players in Korea and the best ranker.

Cheol-hwan Kang, who appeared like a comet during the chaotic era, which was no different from the era of the Spring and Autumn War due to talented people, unified the gangsters with just one fist.

Cheol-Hwan Kang is, I dare say, one of the most powerful men in Korea.

It is thanks to Kang Kang-hwan that Heuksanhoe could exist today.

By subduing numerous small organizations and uniting large groups into one, the current Black Mountain Society was born.

In his heyday, there were only a handful of people who could handle him.

However, no matter how much Kang Cheol-hwan is, time cannot be defeated.

Time is cruel.

Because it passes fleetingly.

In the flow of time that is fair to everyone.

Cheol-hwan Kang also grew old and weak like ordinary people.

The body that was as strong as steel rotted away, the physical strength lost like the old man in the back room, and the bright eyes and roaring spirit disappeared as a handful of ashes.

He was once a strong man who ruled Korea, but now he has to live with an old man in the back room.

Since he tied numerous gangs together by force, division was inevitable the moment the power fell.

A diseased and weak toothless tiger can fall prey to a wild cat.

The hyenas, who had been looking for an opportunity to look for each other, stood up with each other, and that was the beginning of the biggest faction fight in the Black Mountain Society.

Cheol-hwan Kang, who was worse off, decides to leave Heuksanhoe to the next generation.

And the person designated as Kang Cheol-hwan’s successor is none other than Ganghwa-ryun.

She is the first daughter of Kang Cheol-hwan, who had the upper hand in the factional fight.

She is supported by the Gangnam Faction, the highest faction of the Heuksanhoe, and she has a close relationship with the high ranker Isol.

Also, Ganghwa-ryun became her S-ranked ability in her mid-twenties, as befits Kang Cheol-hwan’s direct blood relative.

Ganghwaryun’s ability is to strengthen the body.

A fairly common ability, but quite effective.

The strength to tear steel bars like paper.

Durability that even explosives can be taken lightly.

The regenerative power that immediately recovers even if a bone is broken.

People who saw him running amok like a beast dripping with blood couldn’t help but admire it.

Because it was a scene that was not enough to become the leader of a gang of gangsters.

“There were so many people gathered that I wondered if they were celebrities, but it was you guys.”

Ganghwa-ryun’s voice softly caressed her ear as her mask was draped over her chin with her cap tightly pressed down.

Ganghwa-ryun was munching on her lollipop and muttering indifferently.

But she didn’t look very happy, judging by the slight sinking of her voice.

…… No, why did this guy suddenly appear?

I looked at Ganghwa-ryun with her slightly surprised eyes, and Ji-hyeon didn’t show any reaction as if he had expected the appearance of her Ganghwa-ryun.

“What is it? Did you two come to see a movie?”

Ganghwa-ryun chewed her candy with her molars. The sound of her candy being crushed resonated. Even though it was a small sound, it was clear to my ears. Ganghwa-ryun was staring at me clearly.

“If anyone sees it, they’ll think you two are dating, hey.”

He giggled and roughly threw the stick part into the trash can. The stick glided round and round and settled neatly into the trash can.

“Isn’t it?”

“… ….”

The green eyes flashed sharply like those of birds of prey.

She realized that she was asking for a clear answer.

I pursed my lips and chose the words.

How should I say it?

…… Hmm. No, do you think I don’t have to answer?

I glanced at Jihyun.

There was a high possibility that Jihyun would answer.

Because the person who directed this situation must be none other than Lee Ji-hyun.

“Why no answer? It seems like I’m the only one talking nonsense.”

“I came to see a movie, why?”

When Ganghwa-ryun asked one more time, Ji-hyeon answered with a sharp voice.

…… Ah.

I realized at this point.

The fact that this story won’t end laughing.

“Oh, is that so?”

At Jihyeon’s harsh words, Ganghwa-ryun shrugged her shoulders and laughed as if she was dumbfounded.

“You came to the theater to watch a movie with Han Seo-joon, la…… Well, it can be It can be.”

Kang Hwaryeon chanted quietly and looked around slowly.

Then, some people who had been secretly spying on us met Ganghwa-ryun’s eyes, and they swallowed dry saliva and quickly turned their gazes to other places.

Ganghwa-ryun lifted the corner of her mouth slightly at the sight, and then she moved her head toward Ji-hyeon again.

“By the way, you two. Can I go around like this openly?”

“Is there anything I can’t do?”

“Aren’t you making noise with unnecessary scandals again? These days, Han Seo-joon has been noisy because of a love scandal with Ryu Ye-rin.”

“I decided not to care anymore. Seojun and I are not even celebrities. What does it matter what other people say?”

Ganghwa-ryun looked at her a little curtly when Ji-hyeon replied indifferently to her attendants.

“Is that so?”

Ganghwa-ryun let out a small breath and slowly pulled on her mask. She twisted the mask a few times.

“By the way.”

I stare at Jihyun for a moment.

“It seems like you’ve been a bit picky since before. Is it my imagination?”

“Maybe?”

I’m sure you’re not mistaken.

Because Jihyun did that on purpose.

“What…… Anyway, it’s been a while since I’ve seen it in person like this.”

“Yes. I know.”

The atmosphere is getting worse.

It seems like a light conversation, but in reality it was quite sharp like a piece of glass.

Considering the personalities of those two, exchanging conversations in such a way was itself close to a battle of spirits.

Since both of them have the same personality, there was a high possibility that they would make a fuss while exchanging conversations like that.

To be honest, it wasn’t a good choice to leave those two alone like that.

However, she didn’t say much because she expected to some extent why Ji-hyeon came out and faced Ganghwa-ryun together.

For now, I plan to watch.

“I didn’t expect to meet everyone in a place like this by chance.”

“By chance?”

Suddenly, Jihyun added a sajok.

At that, Ganghwa-ryun slightly frowned at Ami.

She tried to turn her millstone, but it looked like her handle was missing.

“What a coincidence.”

Suddenly, Ganghwa-ryun looked at me and Ji-hyeon and let out a sigh at her.

“I wondered why you were asking useless questions over the phone… ….”

Ganghwa-ryun tutted and clicked her tongue.

“…… Lee Ji-hyun, you have a very difficult personality too.”

I nervously scratched the back of her neck.

From noble mtl dot com

Then, suddenly, she shifted her gaze.

Jihyun was reflected in Hwaryeon Kang’s eyes.

“… ….”

“… ….”

Jihyeon looked at Ganghwaryeon without saying anything for a while, and Ganghwaryeon looked at Jihyeon with her mouth closed.

Silence fell for a short time.

The people who were watching this scene just glared at their unusual behavior.

I seemed to feel little by little that the atmosphere was very strange.

“…… Oh really.”

Suddenly, Ganghwa-ryeon’s sharp voice rose to the surface.

“Hey. Lee Ji-hyun.”

“Why?”

“Are you dissatisfied with me?”

“What?”

Jihyeon crossed her arms and answered dryly, while Ganghwaryeon snorted at her with a ‘ha’. By this time, she had put up with a lot. Ganghwa-ryun doesn’t avoid her quarrel.

“Haa…… Really annoying. Hey, tell me straight up if you have any complaints. Don’t do anything stupid.”

Ganghwa-ryun steamed with a rough voice, as if she didn’t like the radish that much.

However, Ji-hyeon did not respond in any way. She just stared at Ganghwa-ryun with her arms tightly crossed.

Ganghwa-ryun tutted at the sight, then clicked her tongue and popped her lollipop out.

“You have been like that since middle school. Hey Jihyun Lee…… What are we really going to do?”

“Hwaryeonah.”

The moment I was about to spit out annoyed words, Jihyun’s voice crossed Ganghwaryun.

“I mean you.”

Jihyun looked at me once.

And she muttered softly in a very low voice so that the people around her could not hear it.

“Do you like him?”

“…… Under.”

Ganghwa-ryun hesitated for a moment, and then she burst into laughter.

“Suddenly something…… He said something strange on the phone the other day. Is that the sound again?”

“When I said it over the phone, I was nervous, but seeing it in person like this, I was convinced.”

“What kind of confidence? Under. Are you weird I care about him…….”

Ganghwa-ryun stopped talking and glanced at her surroundings.

Anyway, it seemed that people’s eyes were very concerned.Ganghwa-ryun, who looked around for a while, nervously scratched the back of his neck.

“…… Oh well, what does that have to do with you anyway?”

“Of course it matters.”

Jihyun glanced at me with a faint smile.

Oh, no way.

“Come to think of it, I never talked to you properly.”

Jihyun nodded her head calmly.

“I know… ….”

A seizure.

I walked to Kang Hwa-ryun.

She looked at Jihyun, frowning.

Ji-hyeon, who had reached Ganghwa-ryun’s closest point, whispered in his ear.

“…… He’s his girlfriend So can you turn off the useless attention? Because it’s annoying.”
