Episode 32 Social Club (1)
A large, high-rise hotel in the heart of Underdog City.
There is a large club on the 69th and 70th floors.
‘Burning suspension’
A high-end social club where the best people in Underdog City gather.
Rich and powerful young people gather here to burn their youth.
Super-expensive champagne, priced at 100 million gold per bottle, was brought in one after another, and upbeat music with a fast tempo was playing every day.
Hookahs of an unknown type create thick clouds of smoke, and colorful lights color them.
The atmosphere was luxurious and extravagant enough to say go away from the court ball held in the imperial family.
“ruler! Stack up!”
“Bring them all!”
“Let’s raise the tower once again today!”
A room nestled in the deepest part of the club.
In this room, which costs 10 million gold for 6 hours and is accessible only to VVIPs, seven young boys were hanging out together.
Champagne worth more than 100 million gold per bottle is brought in a row while marinated in ice.
In the center of the large table, champagne glasses were piled high in a pyramid shape.
At the bottom, 100 glasses form an even square shape in the shape of 10*10.
On top of it, 81 champagne glasses in the shape of 9*9 go up.
On top of it are 64 champagne glasses in the shape of 8×8.
49 on it, 36 on it, 25 on it, 16 on it, 9 on it, 4 on it… …
The pyramid-shaped champagne tower was completed with one last champagne glass on top.
The seven young boys gathered here laugh and pour 100 million gold champagne ‘Don Quixote Perignon 666’ from the bottle into the top champagne glass.
yet.
every bit… …
The champagne that had filled the top glass began to drip into the lower glasses and gradually fill them up.
When the bottle of champagne was empty on the way, the young masters mercilessly threw it away and ordered a new drink.
yet.
The champagne filled from the top glass gradually flows down and fills the glasses below.
Thus, all 385 glasses that make up the champagne tower are full.
A young master said with a smile.
“Hey, drink what you spill on the table.”
Then the waiters standing at the entrance of the room rushed over.
“Oh, thank you, brothers.”
“Thanks to my older brothers, I tasted such precious alcohol, and I feel really good.”
“I will serve you with all my soul today.”
The waiters smile and lick the champagne drops on the table.
The youngsters giggled and scattered gold coins in their faces.
“This is the dripping water effect.”
Champagne dripping down from the top, not enough to fill the glasses below, soaking the table, and seven men laughing at it.
These youngsters were the core members of the Youth Autonomous Committee of Hyangcheong.
It is only a private organization composed of the 2nd and 3rd generation of local empresses, retainers, and heirs, but their influence in the local community cannot be ignored.
He had a lot of money and enough money and power to handle some low-level public affairs, but it was enough to reign over ordinary citizens as long as he was an aristocrat.
Since they were families who had lived in this province for a long time, they were also bright about examining the surrounding situation.
That’s why the Baskervilles also gave them some power and gave them the authority to take care of troublesome things on their own.
They, too, line up with the Baskervilles, inform them of the surrounding geography and public sentiment, and exercise a little autonomy in return for paying tribute and taxes.
… … In fact, from a historical point of view, all of the brethren gathered here are mere descendants of outdated families who were defeated and relegated in the central power struggle of the empire.
It means that everyone except for the Baskervilles, who received a special order from the emperor and came to expand the borders, are of no interest.
But the young people gathered here didn’t seem to think so.
“It is better to be the head of a snake than the tail of a dragon.”
“Rather, it’s better to play here where the eyes of the imperial family are out of sight?”
“that’s right. I went to a club in the imperial capital the other day, and this place is much more luxurious.”
“Moreover, ‘those Baskervilles’ are protecting this place. How safe is it?”
“Gig gigg kik – at this point, isn’t the Baskerville our hound?”
Young masters who don’t know much about the world were too weak even if they didn’t have iron.
While the Baskervilles were concentrating only on expanding their borders, they were rotting thickly inside.
Then, where does the financial power to play so extravagantly and dissolutely come from?
The main source of income for local tax collectors is in fact insignificant.
At most, the water tax for the reservoirs used to irrigate the fields, the road use tax, the toll tax, the price for selling livestock… … Even if it were expenses, it was a small reward to distribute to butlers and serfs.
Both the money going out and the money coming in are small, but… … In fact, they had a hidden source of income.
illegal slave trade.
Those who are not permitted by the state are kidnapped, imprisoned, and then sold into slavery.
As the number of barbarian people who lost their village due to the recent active pioneering of the Baskervilles’ territory is increasing, human trafficking, which secretly tricks them into seduction or kidnaps them by force and sells them, was rampant.
In a word, it is free riding on the business of the Baskervilles and eating the crumbs.
Since no tax is paid and the transaction volume is steady, money naturally accumulates.
The young masters are playing with the black money they earn by burning their youth like this.
I can’t put it in the bank because it’s illegally earned money anyway, so I burn it all with a cash crash.
“The champagne tower is full! Go get the kids in! Bring in the sleepy ones.”
The young masters let the waiters out for a while.

And we started whispering among ourselves.
“By the way, it’s really nice that upright families like Messinadnaro are gone. You can play without noticing like this.”
“Actually, that is normal. They say we play with our own money.”
“It was good that I framed him and sent him away. yes?”
“Let’s not include such guys as members in the future.”
They smoked bubbling hookahs and wore languid faces.
One of them suddenly raised his head.
“Oh. But did you guys hear the news about the new deputy consul?”
“Uh, I already put in an interview request. They said it was Ban’s last name.”
“hmm. Is it chaff? Half family means you are a collateral or illegitimate child.”
“You should know that it is an honor to be called by us.”
“Ku-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-ke-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-h-h-hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I’m going to come running again.”
They have always done what is called ‘training the junior bureaucrats’ when new sub-consuls arrive.
It’s nothing special, it’s just an extravagant party that turns your eyes away and makes you lose your mind.
And it meant putting the dog on a leash with the feeling of ‘If you want to follow us in the future, you have to listen to us carefully’.
The youngsters giggled.
“They say her name is Bikir. Have you ever heard of it?”
“I don’t know, I’ve never heard of it.”
“Since I was 15. This is the first time he came out of the family.”
“what? Aren’t you a complete kid?”
“Son is right. I heard that as soon as you first came to the city hall, you started drinking heavily? It must be some kind of madman.”
“Hehehehehe, you’ll get along well with us then.”
At that time, one of the youngsters suddenly came up with an interesting idea.
“Would you like to tease us while also overpowering us?”
He stretched out his index finger and explained the plan.
“Let’s throw a big party later and call him. Let’s have some really top-notch alcohol and call all the girls and have a good time.”
“and?”
“Then later, after the party, ask him to pay for the drinks.”
At those words, the youngsters burst into laughter.
“Good, good, that will be fun.”
“Isn’t it that your eyes pop out when you see Bilge?”
“You need to know that your older brothers spend a lot of money while entertaining you. If you take it for granted, go later.”
“Where is the money for a 15-year-old civil servant? I’m afraid if I report it to the family, I won’t be able to find it anywhere to get money.”
“And later, you can say it was a joke and pay me.”
The youngsters will learn how to make fun of the newly appointed subconsul and how to cook it.
Right then.
“Guys! The girls are here!”
The waiter opened the door and came in with a smile on his face.
Before long, countless women peer into the club room and are amazed at its extravagance.
There must have been some familiar faces among them, and the young masters waved happily.
“Hey, are you here again?”
“Even if you suffer like that?”
“Let him out. We are thrilled, uh.”
“why? I like her because she’s pretty.”
“hey! Come and sit here this time!”
The women entered the room one by one.
… … however?
A strange thing got stuck at the end of the girls coming in.
Were you just in your early teens? A very young-looking boy.
The form following the women into the room from the back was so natural that the waiters didn’t bother them.
The seven young masters finally found the boy after looking at the women and making bad jokes.
“But what is he? Did you call the male waitress too? Well, it did look cute.”
“yes? Oh, don’t you know someone?”
“You don’t know?”
Then the young ladies, the waiters, and the women all look blank.
What is this little boy who has followed me all the way here?
One of the waiters touched his forehead.
“I came in so confidently that no one thought it was strange. You bastard shack! How dare the little guy say where is this place… … !”
But he couldn’t reach out his hand to grab the boy’s hair.
Woodeuk-
The sound of something thick and hard breaking.
The waiter only then noticed that his wrist was turning in a strange direction.
“Ugh!?”
The boy broke the adult man’s thick forearm with only his grip.
“What, what is this guy!”
Three or four waiters attacked at once, but it took less than a second for all of them to fall to the ground.
The faces of the youngsters hardened slightly.
“What is this kid? Hey, what are you doing here? Do you know who your brothers are?”
“know.”
There is no emotion in the boy’s voice.
“They are hometown idiots.”
A perfect apathy, devoid of respect, fear, servility, or even contempt.
At those words, the youngsters were dazed for a moment.
Before long, they laugh loudly once.
“Right. If you’re a town hall idiot, we’re right.”
“It looks like they know who we are.”
“Then we just need to know who he is.”
“Little boy. who are you?”
The youngsters were splitting up whether this situation, which had happened in a while, was fun.
but.
The boy’s words left a smile on their faces.
“Bikir.”
Newly appointed deputy consul.
Vikir Van Baskerville is here.
The young masters slowly lowered their feet from the table.
Then, hesitantly, he asked.
“wealth… Archon? What’s going on here… … .”
“You guys called.”
At Bikir’s words, the youngsters put on a dazed look once more.
And then
“Wahhahahaha- this is hot, Vice Consul! I never thought you would come right away like this!”
The atmosphere is not very good.
Moreover, the young masters, who had been insulted just before, were in a state of being wounded in their own high pride.
“Shall we start taming the rookie right away?”
“okay. Let’s pay for a drink.”
“Once they are well-roasted and boiled, they sit down, and later, when the party is over, if they ask you to pay for the drinks… … ?”
but. Their cute plan never came to fruition.
… widely!
Bikir had put his hand on the table.
and.
Tsutsutsutsutsu… …
The dark red aura unique to the Baskervilles slowly blooms.
The mana contained in Bikir’s body spread through his hands and into the table.
That ferocious resonance, that violent vibration.
bubbly bubbly bubbly… …
On the table, the champagne in the glass suddenly started to boil.
yet.
Changes have occurred to the large champagne tower in the center.
… Pacan!
One of the glasses at the top of the champagne tower suddenly exploded.
Beneath where numerous glass shards and champagne drops are scattered.
… Clink!
… Clink! … Clink!
… Clink! … Clink! … Clink!
… Clink! … Clink! … Clink! … Clink!
The four glasses that were downstairs,
The nine glasses that were downstairs,
16 cups downstairs,
25 cups downstairs,
36 cups downstairs,
49 cups downstairs,
64 cups downstairs,
81 cups downstairs,
All 100 glasses on the floor below exploded one after another and were broken.
The Champagne Tower collapsed.
Instead of collapsing from below, it exploded in reverse from above.
Patter- Patter- Patter-
Countless glass powder and champagne drops pour down like a shower in the VVIP room.
Faced with the rain, the young masters of Sedo had no choice but to say a word.
“… … We were going to pay for the drinks.”
