Episode 296 Who on earth did you lend the money to?
Jooyang, who was returning to the power station, stopped.
My heart continued to beat to the point where I thought it might explode.
The eyes of Geommugeuk looking at him came to mind, and the image of the coin on the table piercing his palm did not leave his mind.
One of the swordsmen who were returning together asked.
“Aren’t you going?”
“Go first. “I will never tell anything about today.”
“yes!”
Zhou Yang sent the knifemen away first and sat down on the side of the road for a while. I was angry, my pride was hurt, and I was scared because I had never experienced anything like this before.
Working at a power station was his calling.
I felt the pleasure of becoming an absolute expert when I saw him bowing to himself and borrowing money. There was nothing more fun than tempting them with nice words.
What about crying and crying because you can’t pay a few pennies in interest? I felt relief from other people’s misfortune.
Controlling and controlling someone’s life was such a happy experience.
But for the first time, I felt a sense of crisis shaking my life as an unknown person. What is scarier than the fear of having your hand pierced is the fear that you might not be able to do this job.
‘How do I deal with this?’
This matter must be resolved before it reaches the ears of the head of the Unification Center, Jeokpae. If the enemy finds out... Jooyang shook his head. The enemy was a person who always took responsibility for the damage.
Your hand will be pierced by a sword dance, but your neck will be pierced by an enemy. Because he is that kind of person.
At that time, I made eye contact with villagers passing by. They were shocked and bowed their heads before walking quickly. I can sense from his busy pace that he is afraid of himself.
Have we finally been punished for our evil deeds that have ruined other people’s lives?
But Joo Yang was not the type of person to reflect on things like this. If he were that kind of person, this wouldn’t have happened in the first place. He was a person who thought like this.
‘We have to pay off the interest somehow.’
After thinking of a suitable person for the job, he stood up and walked away. As I give more nervous glances to people I encounter each day.
* * *
The next day, Zhou Yang did not come to collect the money.
“I said I would come find you if you didn’t come.”
The sword dance went straight to the power station. Today, another person came to Jooyang’s place and lent him money.
When I asked where Jooyang was, she said she was sick and didn’t come out.
Geommugeuk came out to the training ground and shouted.
“Yang Zhou! I’m here to pay you interest, so come out! Jooyang! Teacher Joo! “Jou Daehyeop!”
In response to the commotion, knifemen from the electricity station came out to watch. Are you here to pay interest? Are you a debt collector who is desperate to run away?
Everyone watched in amazement because there was no such commotion after the power station was opened.
“Yang Zhou! “Come out now!”
After hearing the news, Joo Yang hurriedly came out of the building.
“you!”
Unlike yesterday, when he treated him coldly, Geommugeuk smiled happily at him.
“You said you were sick, but you’re fine.”
“What is all the fuss about here?”
“Didn’t you say you would come find me if he didn’t come?”
Anyway, I didn’t expect him to come and make such a fuss. I knew someone would be here. It’s a place that handles a lot of money, so isn’t there a single expert who can kill you?
So the first thought that came to Joo Yang’s mind was this. How expert and what is your intention? Apart from all this.
‘This guy is crazy.’
Geommugeuk held out his hand to him.
“Now take the interest.”
Otherwise, this couldn’t be happening.
The knifemen who were watching murmured. Those in the guest room yesterday were nervous and took a step back, while others were giggling and excited about the fun spectacle.
It was right then.
“Are you the author?”
A man with a heavy voice appeared.
He was dragging a man covered in blood with one hand.
When he appeared, the swordsmen all bowed their heads and greeted him. He was a cruel person who could be said to be the real swordsman of this unit.
Jaanhak is a person who comes forward when there is a problem with the warriors, and he was the first person Jooyang went to see when she returned yesterday.
What kind of person he is can be explained by this one fact. Everyone joked that his name was an abbreviation for cruel martial arts (殘虐無道). Some people actually thought that was the case.
That’s how cruel he was. Because all those who reported and opposed the evil deeds of the Tongtongso were killed by cruelty.
“Yes, I am the author.”
In response to Joo Yang’s response, cruel threw the person he had dragged forward.
The man rolled around on the floor helplessly.
Geommugeuk approached and examined him. With his whole body a mess, he barely opened his eyes.
“...Kill me.”
Those were his first words.
If the pain had been so severe, would I say those words as my first words without even knowing who the other person was?
On the other hand, the cruelty committed by those who made the man do that was leisurely.
“At first, that guy was just as energetic as you. It flew over that wall and landed in the middle of the yard. “You truly were a hero.”
Then the swordsmen who were watching burst into laughter.
Fortunately, the enemy was looking at the ledger and flipping the abacus. He looks like a violent wolf, but when it comes to calculations, he becomes a fox.
It was wise for him to keep his mouth shut when he counted the money.
The sound of the abacus rolling stopped for a moment.
“There was an accident when the master intervened.”
The enemy was not very shaken. While working at the power station, did a martial arts expert intervene once or twice? We somehow managed to resolve everything and overcome the crisis.
“The young man borrowed ten nyang.”
“Ten nyang?”
Jeokpae raised his head and looked at Zhou Yang with these eyes. He probably didn’t come to me with a problem that only cost ten nyang.
“That killed Cruelty.”
Hiss. Pow!
The abacus flew out and hit Zhou Yang on the head. Unfortunately, it was stamped on the corner of the abacus and blood was flowing down from my forehead.
“From the beginning, I told you to distinguish between those who might cause trouble, right?”
“sorry.”
“The guy who ate Yeomwangchae for so long couldn’t even process it properly.”
Jooyang lowered his head, repeating his apology.
“What kind of guy is he?”
“He is a crazy person who claims to be the leader of a demonic cult.”
puck!
Something else flew out and struck Zhou Yang in the face.
“How can a crazy person kill a cruel person?”
Joo Yang said again that she was sorry and lowered her head. But doesn’t that mean that the Demonic Cult’s small sect leader was killed? He struggled to swallow what he wanted to say.
“How will you take responsibility?”
“I will gladly accept the reprimand.”
“Are you sure he’s not a demonic bastard?”
“I sent a message saying that I am not an investigator. From what I can see, it’s not Mine.”
As if he didn’t want to see the enemy defeated, he motioned for Jooyang to leave. At least, since he is leading the power station well these days without making any mistakes, this is probably the end of it.
The lone enemy said quietly.
“You should find out and deal with it yourself.”
Then a short answer was heard from behind the wall: “Yes.”
Jeokpae took out a new abacus from his desk drawer and started calculating again.
“What’s so wrong?”
When writing a ledger, there are days when the calculations are particularly incorrect. Wrong and wrong again. That was today.
* * *
The next day, Zhou Yang rushed to his residence again at the call of Jeokpae.
There was a red flag standing in the middle of the yard with a serious expression.
There was a corpse lying in front of him. It was his limbs that went out yesterday after receiving orders from Jeokpae.
Zhou Yang knew very well how expert he was. The level of atrocities could be dealt with lightly, but the enemy was like a right-hand man who spent a huge amount of money to bring in.
And I knew it again. Who killed him?
Two coins were placed on the corpse’s forehead.
It was as if the coin was saying:
-I paid off the interest today.
Zhou Yang’s heart sank. The fear I felt until yesterday was not fear. Zhou Yang felt a primordial fear welling up deep in his heart.
Zhou Yang’s gaze did not leave the coin.
“What is this coin?”
Two coins have now become the scariest things in the world.
“This is today’s interest.”
The red flag glared at Zhou Yang menacingly.
“You... who on earth did you lend the money to?”
Joo Yang expected the enemy defeat to come out this way. Because he was a person who always looked for someone to take responsibility when a problem occurred.
You were the one who sent someone to kill him!
Jooyang said, swallowing again what she wanted to say.
“I’ll go and find out what he wants.”
“Can’t you see this? What he wants is our money. “What business would a master like this have any business other than us?”
Jeokpae was a person who was convinced that those who were hostile to him were after his money. This assertion worked unexpectedly well.
“He said he was a demon?”
“He bluffed and said he was the leader of a demonic cult.”
“Are you sure it’s not?”
“Absolutely not.”
As things got to this point, Joo Yang began to think that the investigator’s report might have been wrong.
But I answered with the word ‘absolutely.’ Because it had to be absolutely not.
If so, the solution to the defeat was decided.
“We have to let the real deal with the fake.”
Because I spent so much money for a day like today.
“We have to show how scary the real Demon Cult is.”
