Episode 209
209. Parking lot
Ryu Min decided to meet Russell while he was abroad.
I had something to talk about when I met him in person, and I was also curious about his financial situation.
“Mr. Liu! Long time no see!”
At New York’s JFK International Airport, Russell approaches, waving happily.
Ryu Min also smiled and walked over to shake hands.
“It took a long time to get here, didn’t it?”
“Oh, no. “I fell asleep quickly after watching a movie.”
It takes 7 hours to travel from the UK to the US.
Since it was quite a long distance, Ryu Min was planning to visit, but Russell stopped him and came to visit in person.
“Are you in the market? “Shall we talk over lunch?”
“Oh, how do you know I’m hungry? Let’s do it!”
Ryumin, who took me to a steakhouse at the airport, ordered various dishes.
“I think you’re hungry. Can you eat everything?”
“Oh, sure. “If you want to sharpen metal, you need to eat this much.”
“Just in case, don’t worry about money. “I will buy everything.”
“no way! What are you talking about! Of course I should buy it. You can’t get anything from listening to free prophecies. “Do I have a lot of money?”
When the topic of money came up, the advice I gave before came to mind.
“So, did you sell the stocks?”
“Oh, of course. I sold it as soon as I heard it. Thanks to you, I made some money. “This is the first time in my life that such a large amount of money has entered my bank account.”
“How much did you get?”
“Forty thousand pounds.”
The money Russell invested in Ma Gyeong-rok’s company was 14,000 pounds.
Now it has almost tripled to a huge amount of 40,000 pounds.
In Korean currency, it is 65 million won.
Now I can do blacksmithing for several years without having to worry about the cost of wood.
“You took care of a lot.”
“I can’t believe I touched such a large sum of money even though I had no funds… … This is all thanks to the Prophet. So, the account… … .”
Before Ryu Min finished speaking, he shook his head.
It’s like he knows what to say.
“Russell spends all that money.”
“yes? But wasn’t it the Prophet who provided the initial funds? Since I borrowed money, I have to repay it… … .”
“Do you remember what I said when we first met?”
Russell, who was thinking deeply, nodded.
“You said you were investing because you saw my potential.”
“yes. Russell, I have deposited my investment money with you. I have no intention of withdrawing money until I reach the pinnacle of blacksmithing. “I’m not the one who needs money.”
“… … .”
“It’s right for those who need money to have it. So let Russell write. If you don’t feel comfortable spending the money because it’s borrowed money, just set aside the principal. Feel free to use the rest. “In a way, it’s money that Russell earned through direct investment.”
If you think about it, it could not be said that it was Russell’s money because it was Ryu Min who provided the initial funds and investment information.
However, Russell wants to keep it in the name of investment, so he can only receive it with a grateful heart.
“I understand what the Prophet means. It may be shameless, but I will use this money for my living expenses. Thank you so much.”
“How can you be thankful for that amount of money? Rather, Russell has something more important to say… … .”
“Oh, that’s why you came here, right? Please speak.”
As I listened as if I was ready to listen, Ryu Min opened his mouth with a serious expression.
“You’ve heard of the nickname Black Scythe, right?”
“Black scythe? Sure!”
Russell was also not unaware of the number one ranking.
“The black scythe will come for Russell in the next 13 rounds.”
“yes? “A black scythe?”
It’s surprising that the number one person in the rankings comes to visit, but how can someone you don’t even know in person come to you?
“How do you know me?”
“I don’t know. But you’ll find out soon enough. “I’m going to tell Black Scythe to meet Russell.”
“yes?”
What that meant was clear.
“Seo, do you and Black Scythe know each other in real life?”
“yes. “I happened to be in a relationship.”
Russell, who had a dumb expression on his face, soon lowered his head in understanding.
A prophet who can see the future would also know the true identity of the Black Scythe.
It wasn’t that strange for the two to know each other.
“I can’t believe you have that scary black scythe as an acquaintance…” … Haha, you don’t usually have a strong heart either, Prophet?”
“Are you afraid of the black scythe?”
“sure. Isn’t he alone doing ten laps while everyone else has just done one lap of the track? I’m working my way up to number 1 in the rankings. “He is a scary person in many ways.”
Actually, it might feel that way to other people.
“But what should I do when I meet the black scythe…?” … ?”
“Russell needs the help of Black Scythe to grow in the 13th round. In detail… … .”
Ryu Min explained in detail what Russell should do, as well as the strategy for the 13th round.
“Ah, so the black scythe and… … understand.”

“I will tell Black Scythe later. “Go find Russell and help him.”
“Do you think the Black Scythe will be willing to help me?”
“Perhaps you will help me because it is my favor. But just in case, if you meet him, prove Russell’s worth.”
“What is my worth?”
“If you give me the blacksmith class buffs, I will definitely feel the need to help.”
“Ah, I understand.”
Leaving behind Russell, who nodded, Ryumin secretly smiled.
‘With this, I created a relationship between Russell and the Black Scythe.’
By claiming to be a matchmaker, he created a link with the Black Scythe.
‘Blacksmith is a class that specializes in support, like a buffer. It will be of great use if we stay together until round 20.’
While Ryumin was laughing, his cell phone rang.
The sender is Joo Seong-tak.
‘It looks like it’s started.’
I couldn’t help but get up from my seat.
“Excuse me for a moment.”
“Hey, please feel free to talk on the phone.”
After asking for Russell’s understanding, I went to one side and answered the phone.
“What’s going on?”
-Ma Gyeong-rok has just arrived at a deserted warehouse. He’s lounging around outside, smoking a cigarette, as if he’s waiting for something.
“It looks like he’s waiting for a sacrifice. “Where is it?”
-This is Bongbaesan Mountain in Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do.
The location is correct.
This is Ma Gyeong-rok’s favorite workshop.
“Good work. Send the exact location to your cell phone. And keep watching, and when the time comes, join Geoffrey and move as instructed.”
-I will do as instructed.
I hung up the phone and immediately contacted Jeffrey.
“Jeffrey. “What about Christine?”
-I arrived in Korea a little while ago.
“Good. To lure them to the location I am sending them to. “You’ll remember how to say it, right?”
-of course.
“Then implement it as soon as you quit.”
-I will follow your orders.
Afterwards, Ryu Min, who sent a location text message to Jeffrey, also called Seo A-rin.
In the voice of none other than the Black Scythe.
* * *
Ma Kyung-sang and Ma Kyung-soo were not originally very close friends.
They grew up taking business classes under a strict father and thought of each other as competitors.
They bickered like ordinary brothers, but it was ultimately due to competition for successor.
For them, who realized that only money controls the world, their brothers were just an obstacle that needed to be removed.
However, it was only until last year that they became wary of each other and antagonized each other.
As the eldest son Ma Gyeong-rok’s company began to grow, the two became anxious.
Eventually, when it seemed like they would achieve their father’s condition, the two held each other’s hands.
It was a temporary alliance to deal with a common enemy.
“Gyeongsang hyung. Have you thought about the strategy?”
“Uh, I was thinking about it, Kyungsoo, it would be better to follow the strategy you mentioned.”
“right? “I think what I said is the most realistic and most likely to be realized, right?”
“It seemed like that.”
The strategy presented by Ma Kyung-soo, the youngest, was indeed simple.
On his way home from work, Ma Gyeong-rok kidnaps him wearing a mask and challenges him to a duel.
At this time, the conditions for applying for a duel are designed to be advantageous to them.
So that you have no choice but to win.
Since it is an unfavorable condition, he will of course refuse, but Ma Gyeong-rok will have no choice but to listen.
What would you do if they threatened to kill you right away?
I had no choice but to accept it with tears in my eyes.
“brother. If you just do as I say, you can send Gyeongrok away cleanly. Because the person who wins the duel will step down from the position of successor. “At least we have a high chance of winning.”
“So if I just accept the duel, it’s all over?”
“yes. It’s like our victory. Moreover, if we add the condition of not revealing anything, we can completely exclude Kyungrok from the successor structure.”
“When that happens, we’ll have a friendly competition among ourselves, right?”
“yes. Until then, we must never backstab each other. Okay, bro?”
“hey! Do I look like that guy? “Don’t backstab yourself.”
“I know, I know. “I’m just saying this out of anger, so don’t take it to heart.”
Ma Kyung-soo tried to calm him down by telling him not to take his words to heart, but he was laughing inside.
‘After Ma Gyeong-rok is dealt with, the next one is you, you bastard.’
They only joined forces to deal with the enemy named Ma Gyeong-rok, and the position of successor will be taken by the third son himself.
No matter what despicable tricks are used.
“But what if Kyungrok hyung rebels? “Do we really have to stab brothers?”
‘Pathetic bastard. The second son has a flower garden in his head! just.’
Ma Kyung-soo thought it was pitiful after hearing the question, but he didn’t show it.
Anyway, Ma Gyeong-sang was the second brother who was easy to use.
“I have to do it. It would be best not to kill them if possible, but if they resist to the point where it is difficult to subdue them… … .”
There was death in Ma Kyung-soo’s eyes.
“I have to kill him. Even if it’s the eldest brother.”
“Hey, isn’t that going too far? No matter how much it kills… … .”
“Then does kidnapping make sense?”
“Wouldn’t it be better than murder?”
“brother. Do you think you can take over Ohseong Group without that much preparation? Or are you just trying to get rid of me later? After already getting your feet wet?”
“Oh, no. Something like that. I was wondering if there was a better way than just killing him… … .”
“So they give you a chance to live. “If you apply for a duel and accept it, Kyung-rok’s life will be saved.”
“by the way. “Can the two of us defeat Kyung-rok?”
“Why can’t I win? Aren’t we all at the same level? “Surely we, the ones with the most pages, will lose?”
“still. There is that feeling. “Didn’t you feel it?”
“what?”
“You mean Kyungrok. Sometimes the look in your eyes is creepy. “At times like that, it makes you want to go away, serial killer?”
“What are you talking about, bro? Kyung-Rok asks, “What’s so scary about you?” “Are you really going to be so scared that you keep criticizing me?”
“Ah, no, who is scared? “It’s just that there was a time.”
“There’s nothing to be afraid of, bro. “Ma Gyeong-rok doesn’t have a black scythe, so we two can’t take down one bastard?”
“Yeah, right?”
Unlike Ma Kyung-soo, who was confident, Ma Kyung-sang looked a little worried.
‘Oh my, you idiot second brother. Things like this are scary and scary. As expected, I am the only one who feels like heir.’
Ma Kyung-soo, who was thinking like that, soon arrived at the underground parking lot of Ma Kyung-sang’s apartment.
“brother. “Shall we have a detailed meeting tomorrow?”
“huh. Because there is still plenty of time. “Text me and let me know what time it is tomorrow.”
As Ma Kyung-soo nodded and got into the car, Ma Kyung-sang waved his hand.
“Go carefully.”
“Okay, bro. uh? “Holy shit.”
Ma Kyung-soo, who was starting the Porsche, saw the warning light come on and got out of the car.
“what’s the matter?”
“I think the tire is flat.”
“suddenly?”
“I don’t know. Ah, here it is. “There’s a hole here, f*ck.”
“Well, I told you to drive carefully. Are you crawling out every morning to race with the club members again?”
“Oh, by the way, when did you stop doing that?”
“Then why did the good wheel get punctured?”
“I know.”
“Didn’t someone pick it on purpose?”
“Look at it like that. X-arm, what kind of beggar… … .”
Ma Kyung-soo sighed and looked at his brother.
“I guess I have no choice but to borrow my brother’s car?”
“Ah, that’s annoying… … . Okay, wait. “I’ll bring the car keys.”
While Ma Kyung-sang went up to the apartment, Ma Kyung-soo smoked a cigarette and waited.
Sigh-
“Mr. Why doesn’t it stick like this… … .”
As soon as someone detected his presence, Ma Kyung-soo raised his head.
“Brother, it’s already here… … .”
Bah!
Ma Kyung-soo fainted after being hit by the shield, and Ma Kyung-sang appeared three minutes later.
“Kyungsoo. Where are you? I brought the car keys. huh?”
While looking around, Ma Gyeong-sang found cigarettes and a Zippo lighter where his younger brother was.
“what? This is Kyungsoo’s… … .”
The moment I picked up the item, I felt someone approaching quickly from behind.
When I turned my head to see if it was my younger brother, the shield hit me hard in the face.
dump-
Ahn Sang-cheol, who knocked out the brothers, moved them to the van and picked up the phone.
“I’m ready, sir. yes. “I’ll take you now.”
Soon, the van Ahn Sang-cheol was riding quickly left the parking lot.
