< The giants of the previous era (2) >

We climbed into the car without looking back.

“Chief Yu, let’s go!”

“Is everyone wearing seat belts? Bocchan, then let’s go!”

burrung.

Cheol-gu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, giggled.

“That peregrine falcon, out of place, bursting into admiration one after another. Little boy, what are you whispering about?”

“Uh-huh, are you going to buy the boy’s trust or solve his curiosity? Do you choose Lieutenant Colonel Pak, no, Mr. Park Cheol-gu?”

“…”

“By the way, I chose credit over curiosity.”

Yu Jong-tae smiled triumphantly.

“Well, I’m curious too. The old man who only clicks his tongue every time I see him, today he even hit his knee? Would you have rubbed your eyes and looked at it again?”

“That nobleman lamented that one brilliant disciple wouldn’t fall from the sky on a fictional day.”

“I would have thought that that picky old man would have had his eyes on our young master.”

“Did you doubt my ears when I asked the little boy to come under him and learn his job?”

“Nothing! Would the old man say that he should be Secretary Kim to be useful? But for our young master… K, of course, of course, of course!”

Come to think of it, when I met Master for the first time, I also heard that it was a poopy eye.

He said that he couldn’t do it because his eyesight was lagging compared to his ability to use his brain.

Thanks to that, I’ve been rolling in a pawnshop for 10 years!

“I even saw him willingly volunteering to be a wind catcher.”

“It’s the first time I’ve ever seen that thrifty old man serve without getting paid.”

Uncle Cheol-gu and Jong-tae Yoo burst into laughter at the same time.

“Puhahahaha, as expected, our little boy is the best!”

“Kuheuheub, as expected, our young master is the best!”

Uncle Cheol-gu and Jong-tae Yoo stopped laughing at the same time.

Then, they looked at each other with very puzzled expressions.

“Why are you saying the same thing as me?”

“Am I embarrassed too?”

The two laughed at the same time and turned their heads in opposite directions.

Mr. Cheol-gu said while looking out the window as he passed by.

“Hey, kid. It would have been nice to see that nobleman over the phone to raise drugs or cross the river like a prostitute, but why did you refuse to do something fun and jump out all of a sudden?”

“It’s a specification to spark sparks while ignoring it.”

If it was Master’s personality, as soon as he hung up the phone, the talk of writing a contract would come out.

‘Just as bribery ledgers become shackles, you shouldn’t leave evidence when secret back-and-forth transactions come and go.’

I’m the type to be very reluctant to leave traces when dealing behind the scenes.

It is absolutely unacceptable for them to become shackles and choke on their breath.

“Bocchan, where should I take you?”

“Please go to Jongno.”

Uncle Cheol-gu and Jong-tae Yoo looked back at the same time.

“Aren’t you going to start talking?”

“Aren’t you going to start talking?”

I shook my head.

“If I go there now, I’ll be baptized with cold water in the middle of winter and shut out at the door, right?”

What is the normal temperament of the talkative horse head?

Is it really like the teacher of Namsan Leech?

He was on good terms with our master.

Besides, right now, right after Master called and gave me the medicine to my heart’s content.

He was probably gritting his teeth, eagerly trying to take his anger out on the errand boy.

“Kid, why are you so diligently getting and handing out invitations?”

“My grandfather told me to bring my mother and me on New Year’s Eve.”

“therefore. You are an invited guest, not the host of the event.”

“What would happen if my mom and I were introduced to so many people? Dad has a fiancé. Would you mind staying over there?”

“ah······.”

“There must be a lot of people pointing fingers at my mother. You ruined the marriage between the two families.”

Iron Man’s eyes deepened strangely.

“It’s because I want to attract everyone’s attention to Taeseong’s subway construction, so that people don’t stare coldly at my mother.”

I smiled lightly.

“Taesung Construction doesn’t have money these days. If money is also sponsored this time, everyone will think that our Taeseong will win the subway project, right?”

Of course, I plan to extort a lot of money from the tycoons I invited.

In exchange for handing over the information that the subway station will go into.

This is a win-win deal that benefits both us and them.

“Little boy, you think too much. You don’t have to work so hard with the grown-ups.”

Mr. Cheolgu stroked my hair.

“Will your grandfather and father figure it out on their own? Trust me, kid. Got it?”

“yes.”

I nodded.

Of course I believe in my grandfather and father.

If you lay a plate, you are the one who will make Taeseong more splendid than anyone else.

To do so, we need people who will enthusiastically donate money to Taeseong.

Master readily agreed, and the only person who can put a slap on this is, of course, the head of a horse.

‘The horse head has a strong half-bone temperament. Grumpy comes before profit. I’m going to let go of what Master is doing and not be able to see it. Then, Tae-seong could end up in trouble just by pointing the finger at him.’

If the head-to-head teacher goes, he must follow somehow to become a great man!

He is a human who will invade the year-end night even if he steals the invitation.

If he messes up, he can get in trouble for me and my mother, as well as my grandfather and father.

‘Grandpa decided to definitely support my parents’ marriage, so I also have to definitely support this subway construction. From the recruitment of construction funds to the raising of issues.’

Because I concluded that the horse head needed to be suppressed in the pasture.

I’m about to start a psychological warfare with him from now on.

‘If you were going to call an intruder, you didn’t even prepare an invitation in the first place! Instead of persuading him, I’d rather grab his leash at this opportunity!’

Horseheads on the horse-juk street and leeches on Namsan Mountain.

Having lived with that unlucky priest for a long time, bumping into each other, even hearing his name makes my teeth gnash.

If you think of the priests conspiring to harm our master…

cringe

‘Even if I’m willing to be a source of money for Master, I won’t give a penny to a horse head!’

I used carrots for Master, but I will use a whip for Horse Head!

‘Now let’s shake off the horse head pockets!’

If you want to rob, there’s nothing you can’t rob!

I never lose when it comes to anything that involves money.

“He puts it off until last.”

There are still many guests who need to return invitations.

To attack after disturbing the horse head’s composure.

That is the beginning of this plan.

* * *

At that time, the talking head was in the office.

A stuffed horse head hung on the wall of the office, next to it was a frame with a picture of Ttukseom Seoul Racecourse, and under it was a company motto scrawled in Korean script on Korean paper.

<Sometimes I will definitely advance to the racetrack!>

Pyeon-aek (扁額), which usually looks at it ten times a day and reflects on its grand aspirations.

As usual today, the horse head chewed on the photos of the racecourse and the company motto, and cheered up.

“Peregrine Falcon, how dare this bastard make fun of me?”

Like his nickname, Horse Head, he was skinny, and his lower body was elongated.

“what? Did you get an invitation for the year-end night? Oooh, the medicine goes up!”

I walked up and down the office, slapping my palms with the whip.

The house manager looked at the head of the horse.

“What should I do? Shall we call Myeong-dong again?”

“it’s okay! Anyway, the peregrine falcon doesn’t answer my calls!”

It was the reason why the horse head was angry from the top of its head.

“You beat me and handed out an invitation to the Myeongdong Falcon first!”

The head of the horse grinded its teeth.

“Right away from that goddamn errand boy, pour a bowl of cold water on him and drive him away!”

“Yes, I understand.”

The horsehead, who had a temper, lay down on the horse-skin sofa.

It’s been a while already.

There is no word on who came.

follow.

The horse head quickly answered the phone.

“hello?”

– I’m Jongno Gold Tooth. Horse head, are you going to attend the year-end night event too?

“what?”

The horse head furrowed its brow.

“Did you get an invitation too?”

-I got the Myeongdong Peregrine Falcon, but is there any reason why I can’t get it?

An odd laugh came through the phone.

The head of the horse noticed at once that Jongno’s golden teeth were laughing until the corners of his mouth were tearing while exposing the yellow gold teeth that were finely set like corn on both the top and bottom.

-I never thought the day would come when we would be invited to a high-class gathering where only high-ranking figures from the political and business world would attend. It’s worth living for a long time to see this. See you then. I need to have a drink after a long time.

Click.

“Unbelievable! Did I fall short of the Myeongdong Peregrine Falcon, so I was pushed by the Jongno Gold Tooth?”

The horse head snorted.

“Gold tooth, because it handles a lot of dollars and gold bars. He launders money with it, so most of the customers he meets must be high-ranking nobles there.”

The mouth was dry and the taste was bitter.

“So the arm bends inward, it seems like they started looking for the golden teeth on the face… Sheesh!”

To be honest, don’t I have more cash than gold teeth?

“Add another gourd of salt to a gourd of cold water to the errand boy who came to visit me!”

I stretched out on the horsehide sofa and listened to the racetrack.

“I will be next. that’s clear That’s a fact, itself!”

tick tock.

Another hour has passed and still no news.

this gets hot

Follow me!

“hello!”

-I’m Magpie.

It was Mrs. Kkachisan’s room.

-I called because of the year-end night. Don’t you ever run out of cash? As you know, I have a lot of things tied to real estate, so my cash line is suddenly blocked?

Ms. Kkachisan’s room swept the real estate and apartment sales markets, dealing with Bokdeok and Bokdeok.

It’s called the upside down room!

He was also responsible for tax evasion and money laundering for the purpose of speculation.

Recently, with the development craze in Gangnam raging, Mrs. Bang, Mt.

– There are several apartments with good land and good quality in Gangnam, and I will give them to you at a cheap price. how is it? Dispose of it as a quick sale. huh?

“If you don’t have money, go home and wipe your feet and sleep! The supporters freeze to death!

bang!

The horse head hung up abruptly, as if breaking a phone.

“Mrs. Magpie Mountain also received an invitation, but did I just skip it?”

Mrs. Bang’s specialty is selling real estate at a high price.

My hobby was making a relationship with the belly people and skipping money.

So I know you’ll never run out of cash on the other side, but who’s dealing with a bank vault!

“Yes, because Ms. Kkachi’s main customers are wealthy women and wives from chaebol families. Your arm bends inward as well… I’m being pushed even by Mrs. Bang?”

Of these, I would have the most cash.

Am I the only one who doesn’t have as many connections as they do?

“Certainly, when I meet high-ranking figures in the political and business world, it is only when I grab them by the collar and scold them.”

Whatever it is!

When everyone was in a hurry for money, they came to me and were struggling with kneeling…!

Tick tock.

Time again passed helplessly.

“Hey, if the guy looking for me comes today, tell him there isn’t! I didn’t get an invitation because I’m out of the office! Got it?”

“yes.”

“Give me some fights so that I can gamble to pass the time until I come back! Call out the tricksters and put them next to you!”

“yes!”

The horse head laughed meanly.

“Wipe out not only his pockets, but also his mentality, make him an empty mess and kick him out!”

* * *

After getting out of the car, Mr. Cheol-gu hardened his expression.

“What is this bloody smell?”

“Games, fights, bullfights, fights. AKA House Gambling.”

Maldaeri was a person who built a house in a secret place on the outskirts of Maljuk Street and ran a private gambling house.

“That’s the horse head’s main business.”

“what? Was he the guy who ran the arena?”

The only gambling place that Horse Head couldn’t take over was the racetrack supervised by the Korean Racing Association.
