Episode 45: Territory Battle (1)
45. Territory Struggle (1)
“Are you sure you’re coming today?”
-Yes, I will be there shortly.
“thank you.”
-Do you like the car?
“Isn’t it okay? A van? It was nice and made me feel like a celebrity.”
-That’s great. Then I’ll see you on the day of the attack.
Kang Hyun, who had ended the call with Shin Tae-gil, opened the refrigerator door. He saw various beers and carbonated drinks lined up in a row.
“Ouch! Good.”
He drank a can of beer in one gulp and threw the empty can into the trash can.
“No matter how you look at it, it’s too wide.”
The office that Shin Tae-gil had prepared occupied an entire floor of a fairly large building.
Even at a glance, the space looked like it was hundreds of pyeong. However, compared to its size, the office was extremely empty and seemed dreary.
“Should I install a shower room, a TV, and a sofa? And make a bedroom. It’s a guild office, so there’s no reason not to install something there, right?”
“I agree.”
An Yu-seong was playing a game on a desktop PC installed on a luxurious wooden desk that he had brought with him at some point.
“I guess I should make a PC room too.”
If Shin Tae-gil sees this, he’ll definitely yell at them to vacate the office right away, but that’s something to think about when the time comes.
“I’ll be coming to interview new guild members soon, so just know that.”
-Ding dong
That was when.
The intercom rang in the quiet office.
“Are you here already?”
“I’ll go out.”
As Shin Seong-ah walked to the entrance and opened the door, a small man appeared.
“Is this the Baddest Guild office…?”
“you’re right.”
“I’m the person who was supposed to have an interview today…”
“Tell them to come in.”
Shin Sung-ah gave up her seat at the sound of Kang Hyun’s voice coming from inside.
‘Wow, it’s really Kang Hyun. When I see him in person, the atmosphere is completely ruined. I think it’s true just by looking at him.’
The man walked towards Kang-Hyeon with his eyes shining brightly.
Kang Hyun, who was sitting haughtily on the chairman’s chair, took out a document.
“Are you Jae-Moon Han?”
“Yes, yes!”
“Name Han Jae-moon, age 27. 169.7cm, 59kg? Why are these body measurements so small?”
It was Kang Hyun’s soliloquy, but Han Jae Moon lowered his head, feeling a pang for no reason.
“sorry…”
“No need to be sorry. I was just saying. Did you hear what you were doing here?”
“Yes. I’m going to take care of guild-related work…”
“It’s easier to think of it as just running the guild by yourself. But since there are only three people, there won’t be much work to be done.”
“yes.”
“And when we move, you have to drive too.”
“All right.”
“I heard from Team Leader Shin Tae-gil that you are very elite. I look forward to it.”
“Yes! Please take care of it!”
Kang Hyun smiled happily at the thought that he finally had a driver.
“Oh, you guys don’t mind either?”
Come to think of it, I haven’t asked Shin Sung-ah and Ahn Yu-seong’s opinions yet.
“It doesn’t matter. If you need money, just let me know.”
“It’s enough that Kang Hyun likes it.”
Kang Hyun nodded at the refreshing consent of the two.
“Our guild leaders also said they like it. The salary is 10 million won. I don’t know about insurance, so talk to Team Leader Shin Tae-gil. If you need more money, let me know.”
“yes!”
“Then I understand that you’ve joined the guild, so let’s talk freely from now on?”
“All right!”
Han Jae-moon’s eyes sparkled even more, perhaps because the salary was much larger than expected.
‘The real heaven was here!’
In fact, he was what is commonly called a talented otaku.
He joined the dungeon management organization because he admired those with abilities, and was later recruited to the special ability management team by Shin Tae-gil.
‘As I heard from An Yu-seong and Shin Sung-ah, the pressure is no joke.’
An Yu-seong was playing a game, and Shin Seong-ah was just blankly staring out the window.
But to his discerning eyes, even that looked wonderful.
‘I will definitely make this place the number one guild in the country!’
While Han Jae-moon was making his resolution, Shin Seong-ah took something out.
“Mr. Kang Hyeon.”
“why?”
“I think that if we had guild uniforms, our sense of belonging and solidarity would deepen.”

“suddenly?”
“yes!”
“Do you really have to go that far…”
Han Jae-moon’s eyes widened at the mention of guild uniforms.
‘Of course we should! That’s a great idea!’
As soon as I entered the guild, the element of fandom started to increase.
“Actually… I have already prepared something.”
“Really? Then let’s take a look.”
It seemed like Shin Sung-ah had already completed all preparations.
‘Kang Hyun is already famous for his intense aura, so how cool would he look with a fancy dress?’
Han Jae-moon, who was very excited, flared his nose without realizing it.
But that anticipation was shattered in less than 10 seconds.
“What is that..?”
Han Jae-moon let out a voice without realizing it because he was so flustered for a moment.
That’s because the clothes Shin Sung-ah took out were leather jackets.
‘You’re going to wear something like that as your guild uniform?!’
And it wasn’t just any leather jacket, it was a hideous studded leather jacket that looked like something a biker from the 80s would wear.
“I engraved ‘BadAss’ in large red letters on the back. I also created a skull logo and engraved it, taking Ahn Yu-seong’s suggestion. I think it turned out pretty well.”
“Give it to me.”
Kang Hyun took the jacket and began to look at it carefully.
“Are you suggesting we wear this as our guild uniform?”
“yes.”
“Are you serious?”
“yes.”
Shin Sung-ah nodded with a bright expression.
“Throw it away.”
“yes?”
“Throw it away. I’m serious about this. Throw it all away.”
“…”
That bright expression quickly changed into an expression of bereavement.
The past few days flashed through her mind like a panorama.
-How much is it?
-Ten million won.
-Isn’t it too expensive?
-Oh, really, Miss. Are you ignoring the artisan’s artistic spirit? If that’s the case, then just go find some idiots.
-No. I’ll do it here.
Spending a lot of money on asking a Dongdaemun peddler to design it,
-This leather is a new material that just came out. It’s so strong that you can hit it with a knife without it getting scratched!
-So how much is it?
-If you buy it now, it will be sold at the original price of 5 million won.
-It’s too expensive.
-Then how about 1300 for three sets? I’m giving you a special discount because you’re so pretty.
-great.
I had it custom made through an introduction from the father of an acquaintance of a friend’s younger sibling.
After that, I continued to desperately try to look even a little bit cooler.
-Haha…
Finally today.
When the finished clothes arrived, I was so excited that I wanted to jump in, but I didn’t show it because it was a surprise.
-I’m sure Kang Hyun would really like it if he saw it.
I had been waiting for this moment, holding back laughter.
“Are you crying?”
“Oh, no…”
Shin Sung-ah’s shoulders shook as she turned around.
The word ‘BadAss’ was written in large letters on the back of her leather jacket.
“Why on earth?!”
“You’ve gone too far, hyung. You’ve prepared so hard for me.”
“shut up!”
“Don’t worry… about it…”
Shin Sung-ah barely managed to speak in a trembling voice and ran out of the office.
“I’m going to the bathroom for a moment.”
-bang!
Kang Hyun roughly ran his hand through his hair and sighed.
“ha…”
**
Kang Hyun decided to have a group dinner to commemorate Han Jae Moon’s arrival.
He didn’t listen to any objections and went straight down to the underground parking lot with his guild members.
“Is it that good?”
“Yes, that’s good.”
Shin Sung-ah, who always kept a blank expression, found it difficult to hold back her laughter at this moment.
“Huh… Okay. That’s fine.”
The jacket that Shin Sung-ah prepared fit her body perfectly, as if it was custom-made. When the three of them wore the same clothes together, it seemed better than expected.
“Han Jae-moon. Please drive.”
“All right…”
For some reason, Han Jae-moon, who was completely exhausted, took the key.
“Where did you park your car?”
Kang-Hyeon searched the underground parking lot for the van.
“It’s over there.”
Kang Hyun’s expression hardened coldly as he looked at the place An Yu-seong was pointing at.
“Is that our van..?”
It was definitely the same model of van that Shin Tae-gil had sent. However, it was quite different from the van that had originally been painted simply in black.
“Is this your doing?”
“Yes. Isn’t it great? I had people over yesterday and worked on it all night.”
“Do you want to fall behind?”
The van was painted in all sorts of bright colors and had a huge skull pattern on it, similar to the jacket.
The word ‘BadAss’ written on the bonnet in a handwriting that looked like it was on fire was impressive.
“Send this to a second-hand dealer and buy a new one with the same van.”
“Sob… I prepared hard, but…”
“Don’t pretend to cry. I really want to kill you.”
“Tch.”
Kang Hyun, who was trying to shake off the stress, stopped.
‘If you stimulate your head any more, you might lose your hair… That’s something you absolutely must not do.’
Kang Hyun, who didn’t want to give up on his hair yet, decided to take it easy.
“f*ck… yeah. It’s all my fault. Who else can I blame?”
Kang Hyun shook his head and got into the van.
‘Something’s strange here…’
Han Jae-moon entered the Baddest Guild full of dreams, but those dreams were shattered in just an hour.
The guild and the capable people he had in mind were definitely not like this.
‘What the hell is this, not some mafia or gang?! And it’s strangely stupid!’
Han Jae-moon felt like grabbing An Yu-seong and Shin Seong-ah by the collar and shaking them right away, demanding what they were doing.
“But isn’t it pretty good?”
“…”
“I put a lot of effort into it.”
“Don’t open your mouth. I’ll kill you.”
**
The dinner menu was beef, which Kang Hyun’s opinion was actively reflected on.
Kang Hyun was particularly fond of beef.
For him, who had always been poor, beef was a symbol of success.
“Hey. Look over there. That car is really loud.”
“Baddess? Isn’t that the new guild that was just created?”
While I was waiting for the signal, I heard people talking.
Kang Hyun’s mood, which had been slightly relieved at the thought of beef, became upset again.
“It seems like a good way to promote the guild.”
Shin Seong-ah spoke brightly, not knowing Kang Hyun’s feelings.
“How much is left?”
“We’re almost there.”
“Thank goodness. Let’s go quickly. I think I’ll go crazy if I don’t eat some beef soon.”
But contrary to Kang Hyun’s expectations, the car did not move even after a long time.
-Bread, bread!
Horns honked everywhere and drivers, tired of waiting, began to get out of their cars.
“Why aren’t you going!”
“Did you see the fight?”
Kang Hyun’s expression distorted at the sight of people nearby making a fuss.
“What is this? I’m starting to get hungry, but this is annoying… Khuuk!”
The moment Kang Hyun was about to get out of the van, something flew in and crashed into the van.
As a result, Kang-Hyeon’s face collided with the door as he opened it.
“What the heck! What the heck?!”
“It looks like something flew in and hit me.”
“What kid… Wait a minute, is this blood?”
“Yes, my nose is bleeding.”
Blood flowed from Kang Hyun’s nose.
Although bleeding is a normal part of everyday life, it felt strangely unpleasant when my nose started bleeding while I was otherwise fine.
“no!”
An Yu-seong suddenly screamed when he saw Kang Hyun’s blood.
“It’s okay. It’s not that bad… .”
“Get out of the way!”
An Yu-seong, who had pushed Kang Hyeon who was talking, got out of the van in a hurry. Then, he looked at the van with its side door smashed in vain.
‘This kid… was worried about the car and not me?’
Rather than being angry, Kang Hyun was simply dumbfounded.
“Hah, huh… hahahaha!”
An Yu-seong, who had been staring at the door for a moment, grabbed his face and laughed like crazy.
It seemed like quite a shock that the van that had been burning with artistic spirit was destroyed in one day.
“I’ll kill you…”
“Wake up, Inma.”
An Yu-seong’s eyes flashed as his face distorted like a demon’s. At that moment, the man who had been thrown into the van was seen getting up from the floor.
“What are you looking at?!”
The man seemed to be quite strong, as he didn’t seem to suffer any serious injuries even after being hit by the van. He frowned at Kang Hyun and An Yu-seong.
“What? Do you want to die?!”
He threatened them with swords, but the two just looked at the man indifferently.
“What, what..?!”
“…”
“What is it, huh…”
He felt it intuitively.
That something was wrong.
