28. Home ground (1)
Opposite the main gate of Daesan Science High School.
A black car was parked.
The man watching the front door closely from the driver’s seat was Jeong Ki-ho, a broker at Golden Circle.
a few days ago.
Park Hyeong-jun’s order was given.
Go down to Daesan, investigate the people around Kim Hyun-sung, and secure all information, including the radius of their actions. Among them, Jeong Ki-ho was in charge of tailing them. Because it was his first time conducting such a large-scale operation, Jeong Ki-ho could not take his eyes off the front gate.
“What a bastard. “Making the Golden Circle move like this.”
I heard it as an explanation.
What Hyunseong Kim did.
When I heard that he had single-handedly knocked out dozens of people and even survived a sword fight with an S-rank opponent, I honestly had no choice but to admit that the opponent was a minor and all. In fact, it was determined that it could not be processed within the school. No matter how much I look back on the history of the Golden Circle, I have never heard of a case like this.
S rank, and higher.
Kim Hyun-seong was out of the question.
Therefore, the calculation was made to first destroy the people around him mentally by touching them.
‘No matter how much you fly and crawl, you touched the wrong person. ‘Because you won’t be able to protect your people and your entire family alone.’
Golden Circle.
This is not a group that an individual can handle.
If Golden Circle had shown signs of wavering in the past requests even once, the blind trust of clients would not have been formed. A target who is good at fighting, a target with a good background. Among the targets, there were not necessarily only the weak, but it inevitably led to the downfall of the target.
I believed this time would be no different.
Jeong Ki-ho was hungry, so he peeled a chocolate bar out of his pocket and ate it.
It was then.
smart.
Someone knocked on the window.
Jeong Ki-ho unconsciously checked the side and was startled when he saw the other person’s clothes.
I rolled down the window with a shocked look on my face.
OK.
“May I ask why you keep stopping here?”
The police officer looked at Jeong Ki-ho with wary eyes.
* * *
I was embarrassed for a moment.
He had done nothing wrong.
The backstory of following Kim Hyun-seong’s family under the orders of the Golden Circle was not the truth revealed in front of the police officer.
Jeong Ki-ho answered with a calm face.
“Oh, I was just stopping for a moment because I had something to do. “If traffic is obstructed, we will move out of the way immediately.”
I grabbed the steering wheel.
He was about to leave, but the policeman stopped him.
“wait a minute.”
“Do you have anything else to do?”
“In fact, we recently received reports that there are people targeting students around here. The world is really scary. I wonder what kind of trash it is that touches the growing sprouts. To prepare for any unpleasant situations, we patrol the area around the time children arrive and leave school. That’s why I’m telling you, I’m not saying you’re the culprit, but I’ll check your ID for procedural reasons. “This applies to everyone who wanders around here, so don’t be offended.”
“… … “Identification card?”
His expression distorted.
It wasn’t a good thing.
Revealing your identity while being followed increases the chance of being stepped on when a problem arises.
but.
However, I couldn’t refuse to give them my ID card.
The police officer explained the situation in detail, but I didn’t know that if I refused to respond, they would immediately proceed with further procedures. It could be even more of a headache then. Jeong Ki-ho roughly threw the chocolate bar on the seat next to him, then took out his wallet and presented his ID card.
“Here you go.”
“thank you.”
The police officer checked my ID.
The name is Jeong Ki-ho.
31 years old this year.
The police officer recorded the information with a calm expression and spoke as if the story was flowing.
“I’m just saying this just in case. If you’re thinking of doing anything around here, you’d better be careful. “Once your identity is secured, you will definitely be a suspect, and the police in Daesan plan to make thorough preparations to prevent any ‘problems’ from occurring.”
Okay.
I handed over my ID card again.
Regardless of whether Jeong Ki-ho was showing offence or not, the police officer openly made eye contact with Jeong Ki-ho.
“You understand, right?”
Then I realized.
The opponent.
I was convinced of Jeong Ki-ho’s impure purpose.
* * *
First, I moved the car.
It was not a pleasant experience for Jeong Ki-ho.
On the first day of the tailing, I did nothing and just watched, but I had no idea that I would be caught like this.
‘Did you even expect it?’
That couldn’t have been possible.
Kim Hyun-seong had transferred to Seoul, and the police were released in anticipation that the Golden Circle would attack his family. I didn’t understand it through common sense. He did not report to superiors. Jeong Ki-ho drove his car and moved to the next location, as his actions that caused problems from the beginning could be seen as a mistake.
Squeak.

Sun Villa.
It was near Kim Hyun-seong’s original home.
Cars can be conspicuous in narrow alleys, so we parked nearby and walked on foot.
‘Let’s check Kim Hyun-jin and the grandmother’s movements here.’
I entered the alley.
Since I arrived earlier than expected, I had some time to spare, and tried to control my mind by lighting a cigarette.
“Whoa.”
It blew out cigarette smoke.
I finally felt like I was calming down a bit.
Whenever I thought of the look in the police’s eyes, I felt bad for no reason.
I finished smoking one cigarette and put the next one in my mouth, when suddenly I heard someone nearby.
“Hey, there.”
“What are you doing now?”
They were young men.
There were three people, and even after spotting them, Jeong Ki-ho paid them no heed and lit a cigarette.
Dull.
I took a deep drag on my cigarette.
He exhaled acrid smoke and looked at the men with blunt eyes.
“why. “Is there a problem?”
It was different from just now.
I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable dealing with the police, but there was absolutely no reason to bow down to ordinary men.
The men’s expressions became distorted.
“hello. There, that one. Can’t you see the sign saying it’s a non-smoking area? Let’s put out the cigarette right now. If you ignore the warning, we will have no choice but to take appropriate action.”
“What are you?”
“We are the youth self-governing association of this village. We have full authority to say this.”
“Oh yeah?”
I sighed and laughed.
Even so, it was an uncomfortable situation.
It could have been okay, but I didn’t want to do that right now.
I took a step.
He walked towards the men with great strides, and while he was a few steps ahead, he took another deep drag on his cigarette.
“I am. Normally, I would just let it go without causing any trouble, but something like this happened a little while ago. I’ll just ask you once. Should I put out a cigarette or not?”
It was threatening.
Still, the men did not back down.
“Turn it off.”
“okay?”
No more words were needed.
Patience has reached its limit.
Jeong Ki-ho flicked his cigarette and at the same time punched the man right in front of him.
“Then f*ck, can you at least make me feel better…” … !?”
hook-!
I opened my eyes wide.
It was a surprise attack.
I was planning to take down one person and suppress the other two with a preemptive strike, but the man in the lead dodged the punch as if he had expected it. Just slightly twisting his face to let the attack go. For a moment, I felt ominous. Although he felt something was wrong, once he started, Jeong Ki-ho did not lose his momentum and continued to swing his fists.
Hook, hook.
Everything went astray.
And then.
Bah!
Instead, his face turned to the counter.
As Jeong Ki-ho hesitated and retreated, the other men behind him also quickly ran up and fired kicks.
Sigh!
Quadang!
I rolled around on the floor.
Seeing Jeong Ki-ho groaning in pain, a man came up to him and grabbed him by the collar.
“I know. It would be nice to hear it when a person speaks. I heard there have been a lot of accidents around here recently. If you ever think of something bad, remember it clearly. “You will definitely meet us every time.”
puck!
I hit him in the face.
Even though the situation was already one-sided, the man did not stop punching.
Pow!
Puck, puck, puck!
I groaned in pain.
I raised my arms and crouched down.
First day of mission.
Starting from police officers to youth self-government associations.
It was clear that something was going terribly wrong with the plan.
* * *
I got hit hard.
Jeong Ki-ho immediately called the police.
The circumstances of the violence were clear.
Regardless of how this situation unfolds, I decided that I could definitely be punished if I showed my face and ‘evidence’.
“It’s them!”
The local youth association did not go far.
They were wandering around as if guarding the Sun Villa, and the police officer immediately called them over upon hearing Jeong Ki-ho’s words.
He was a different person from the police officer I saw in front of the school.
In a three-way meeting, Jeong Ki-ho explained the situation.
“I was smoking in the alley when these people came and warned me not to smoke. As far as I know, even if it’s a local council, it doesn’t have the authority to do so, but I was so angry at the coercive attitude of the head of the council that I shook my fist. I admit that it was wrong. I shouldn’t have thrown my fist, but I brought the violence upon myself. But, isn’t this really true?”
He pointed to his own face.
It was a mess.
There were swelling and bruises here and there, and it was impossible to see my face like before.
In fact, there was a way to bring in Golden Circle personnel to clean up the place, but considering the current situation, it was not unusual. First of all, there was a need to legally tie it up. There was also a judgment that only if there were some results, it would be beneficial to report to the higher-ups.
“Please check that CCTV over there. Then you will be able to clearly see what the situation is.”
Existence of CCTV.
At that moment, the angle pointed towards the inside of the alley.
If CCTV hadn’t existed, we wouldn’t have called the police when we were outnumbered.
however.
The police officer spoke with a calm face without even looking at the CCTV.
“Mr. Jeong Ki-ho.”
“… … “What is my name?”
“Iknow, right. How did I know that name? In front of the main gate of Daesan Science High School, where student Hyunjin Kim attends, and near Sun Villa, her residence. Can it really be said that it was a coincidence that I met you in these two places? Oh, really unfortunately, that CCTV is not working. “Your innocence cannot be confirmed, and as a result of my investigation, the reason why the Youth Autonomy Association indiscriminately assaulted Jeong Ki-ho was because he was trying to break into a mansion without permission and commit theft.”
“W-what is that!”
I was speechless.
What on earth does this mean?
As the police officer looked at him, one of the youth council members took a step forward.
He stopped in front of a villa other than the Sun Villa and started hitting the iron bars leading to the single room in the basement with a stick he had prepared in advance.
Kaang!
Kaaang, kaaang!
It was a situation that gave me goosebumps.
Their malice.
Their actions.
It was clearly conveyed in my mind.
After breaking the iron bars and opening the window wide, the man turned to look at the police officer.
“It’s done.”
“You saw it, right? Clear evidence that you were trying to break into someone else’s home. It’s no use trying to find out. You have already testified at the Youth Autonomy Association, and we have concluded that you are a robber based on physical evidence. So let’s go together.”
“This is crazy.”
Pak.
He shook off the police officers who tried to catch him.
Jeong Ki-ho rolled his eyes and shouted.
“You f*cking bastards. Is it okay for the police to do this? “Is it okay to blatantly manipulate evidence like this?”
“hey.”
“… … !”
Senior police officer.
His expression became cold.
He grabbed Jeong Ki-ho by the back of his neck, then brought his face in and said.
“You know the situation well. f*ck it, just follow me quietly. “Unless you want to add another charge of obstruction of official duties.”
Clap, clap.
Police officers handcuffed him.
Jeong Ki-ho looked blank and could no longer resist.
This made it clear.
Hyunseong Kim.
It’s unknown since when, but he was preparing for the Golden Circle’s malice.
