VDN Ch 175

“Huh? What did you say?”

“I came from the Good People Center.”

In fact, Seo-oh was on his way back from stopping by the office to confirm whether Nam-woon was there. He didn’t meet Hyung, but instead, he brought back a roll of blue tape that seemed useful.

The man, who had been staring at Seo-oh’s indifferent face despite the fierce battle in front of him, soon examined his blood-stained white shirt, black suit pants, and even his shoes. Then, he snapped his fingers and said, “Ah,”

“If it’s the Good People Center……then you must be Yong-deuk’s crew, right?”

Seo-oh slowly nodded. The man placed his palm in the middle of his face and moved it up and down, exclaiming in admiration.

“Wow, does Yong-deuk Hyung pick his guys based on their looks? Shit. Look at his eyes, he looks like he belongs on TV.”

He patted Seo-oh on the shoulder like a friendly older brother and stepped aside. Seo-oh glanced at the man and started heading toward the building lobby but suddenly stopped in his tracks. The lobby was no different from a market floor. At this scale, Chairman Seok could quickly sense something and escape.

In that case… there was a greater chance of him going out through the back door than the front door. As soon as he made up his mind, he turned around. But just as he did, a familiar voice came from behind him, as if the man had been watching him.

“Yong-deuk’s already got his guys stationed there, so you go on up!”

Seo-oh did not respond and headed to the back of the building. As he headed to the back door, several thugs were waiting, wielding various weapons, just as the man had said. They stared at Seo-oh, who had suddenly appeared, and glared at him. Seo-oh ignored them and stood in front of the back door, placing a wooden plank on the floor. The large men immediately relaxed their hostility, thinking he was an ally.

After that, it was a battle of patience. How much time had passed? A small commotion broke out in the inner hallway. The thugs standing in front of the back door straightened their disheveled bodies and moved around. Seo-oh stood still and stared at the door.

“Get out of the way, you fucking bastards!”

Soon, the back door opened with a loud noise, and a bunch of thugs rushed out, one after the other. It was Chairman Seok’s gang.

“These bastards, attack!”

The big guys waiting at the back door grabbed the collars of Chairman Seok’s subordinates, who were trying to escape in a hurry. The number of people running away was so large that the thugs were busy dealing with them. Seo-oh waited for only one person without moving an inch despite the commotion. After a while, a middle-aged man with white hair came running out in a hurry with the sound of urgent footsteps.

“Kid! Grab that bastard!”

From somewhere, a voice shouted towards Seo-oh. However, he didn’t need any instructions. Seo-oh was already standing right in front of Chairman Seok.

“Hello.”

Chairman Seok, who was panting heavily, looked up at the shadow cast over him. His eyes widened in surprise as he recognized the person before him.

“You….”

Chairman Seok, who had been opening his mouth with a flustered expression, quickly returned to his cold face as if nothing had happened. He turned to the left with his mouth tightly shut. However, a large pair of shoes blocked his path.

Only then did Chairman Seok straighten his head and look at Seo-oh fiercely. A cold voice flowed from his wrinkled lips.

“What brings you here, Seo-oh?”

“…I came to see you, Chairman.”

At Seo-oh’s calm reply, Chairman Seok’s expression grew even colder.

 “I’m busy, so leave.”

“Looks like you’re going somewhere.”

Seo-oh responded in a low tone, further closing the distance between himself and Chairman Seok. Chairman Seok raised his eyebrows and scanned the surroundings with a sharp gaze. The subordinates he had brought were busy fighting Yong-deuk’s gang. There was not a single person who would help him. In the end, he roughly grabbed the man in front of him by the collar and dragged him down.

“Get out of my sight right now. Otherwise, I’ll throw the corpse of my son, who you love so much, at your feet.

“…Ha.”

Seo-oh widened his eyes slightly and then let out a small, mocking laugh. Haha. He let out a low laugh and slowly raised his head. Chairman Seok’s expression stiffened as he looked at his face, which was rarely smiling.

Today, the man’s unusually pale skin and jet-black hair made him look as if he didn’t belong to this world at first glance. Then, as Chairman Seok noticed his bloodstained shirt and the marks on his cheeks, he unconsciously took a step back, and at that moment a piece of wood flew toward his face.

Bam! The horrible sound of solid objects colliding resonated throughout the surroundings.

“Ugh!”

Unable to withstand the pain, Chairman Seok collapsed to the ground. The tip of Seo-oh’s cheap shoe came to a halt in front of his blunt fingernails. A soft voice fell from above

“Chairman, you hit the Hyung I like a lot, right?”

“Ugh…”

“You cracked his pretty forehead and hit his leg. And his hands, like this…”

“……!”

The hard soles of his shoes crushed his wrinkled hands without mercy. Chairman Seok bit his lips and swallowed the scream that was about to burst out from the force that seemed like it would crush his bones. He grabbed Seo-oh’s ankle with his other hand and tried to push it away, but his legs didn’t move at all as if they were rooted to the ground. Seo-oh looked down at Chairman Seok and suddenly asked.

“How could you beat him like that?”

“……”

“I really don’t understand. How could you possibly hit him?”

Seo-oh’s mutterings did not reach Chairman Seok’s ears. Sweat was pouring down his face, and deep wrinkles had formed on his forehead. But it was not due to pain. It was due to humiliation. 

How dare a mere low-life maggot treat him like this. It was absolutely unforgivable. He ground his teeth in frustration, unable to even resist properly due to the fierce dominant alpha pheromones. As if reading his thoughts, the crushing pressure instantly grew stronger.

“Ugh.”

When he couldn’t hold it in anymore, he let out a groan. Seo-oh warned him in a low voice.

“Shut up. Hyung was in more pain than you.”

What the hell does that bastard know…! Chairman Seok lifted his head and shot a sharp glare at Seo-oh. His eyes seemed ready to rip Seo-oh apart in an instant, then suddenly shifted to the side. Seo-oh noticed this and immediately turned around but was a step too late.

Boom!

“……!”

The metal pipe slashed his sturdy thigh. Seo-oh’s body fell forward because he was not prepared for the attack. Chairman Seok quickly got up and ran toward the parking lot, seizing the opportunity. Seo-oh, growing anxious, tried to chase after him but was blocked by a large shadow.

Seo-oh stretched out his leg and kicked the big guy’s shin and quickly stepped forward. However, he was struck hard on the side again. Stumbling for a moment, Seo-oh quickly regained his balance and turned toward the direction of the attack. There stood a man who looked like an ugly potato, holding a metal pipe in his hand.

“Die, you fucker!”

Seo-oh caught the swinging metal pipe with one hand and swung it back with fierce force. 

“Ugh…!”

Unable to withstand the force that was coming, the thug backed away and banged his back against the wall. Without any time to fight back, a rock-like fist slammed into his abdomen. Ugh! Spit flew out of Potato’s mouth, and his body collapsed down as if he had fainted.

At that moment, a loud siren rang through the building. Shouts erupted from the surroundings.

“Shit, the cops are here!”

“Those bastards!”

The gangsters who saw the police getting out of the stopped car started to panic. The other gangsters who were waiting for an opening next to Seo-oh were the same.

Seo-oh didn’t miss that moment and ran at full speed towards the parking lot where Chairman Seok was headed. His thighs that had been hit by a metal pipe cramped slightly, but at that moment, he didn’t feel any pain.

As he headed into the parking lot, he heard hurried footsteps from somewhere. His eyes went up. He’s still here. He ran frantically, scanning the surroundings, and saw Chairman Seok opening the car door in the distance. Seo-oh immediately put strength into his legs and jumped up. Then, he grabbed the back of his white hair with his foot on the car rocker panel and roughly slammed it into the car body.

Bam!

“Ugh…”

“Are we going to see Hyung?”

He yanked back the hair he was holding and asked. Chairman Seok grimaced in pain but didn’t lose his gaze. Seo-oh nodded calmly.

“Yeah, let’s go together. Go and beg.”

“…You maggot, do you think you’ll get away with this?”

Chairman Seok’s head was slammed against the car again.

 “Go, and put your head on the ground.”

“Huk…!”

“Get on your knees, too. I’m telling you to beg for forgiveness. To Hyung.”

Chairman Seok, who eventually lost his balance and fell down after being trampled on with his shoe. Soon, an unpleasant laughter filled the surroundings.

“Forgiveness? Ha… haha! You must have lost your mind!”

Seo-oh, with a terrifyingly stiff expression, swung his fist at Chairman Seok, who was laughing like a madman. He swung his fist without mercy, without rest, like there was no tomorrow, so that he could no longer laugh. Chairman Seok, who was pouring blood out of his mouth and nose, had a dazed expression.

Seo-oh clenched his teeth, revealing his anger without holding back.

“You can’t pass out yet. Tell me where Hyung is.”

Seo-oh opened the car door and shoved Chairman Seok into the passenger seat, then tightly bound his legs and upper body with the tape he had brought. He climbed into the driver’s seat and started the engine.

“Address.”

He stared at the groaning Chairman Seok, and when he didn’t hear a response, he slapped him on the cheek. With a sharp noise, Chairman Seok’s head jerked sideways.

“If you keep your mouth shut like that, you’re going to be buried at sea.”

With me.

Chairman Seok’s eyelids trembled. Looking into his bloodshot eyes, he realized that Seo-oh’s words were sincere. Chairman Seok’s dry lips parted.

“Incheon Port….”

Screech. The car left the parking lot with a rough tire noise.
