Chapter 451 – Finding the Maid’s Silver Star (2)

A mansion owned by the Geumhyang Group in Yecheon, Gyeongsangbuk-do.

It was a fairly large mansion with several rooms, as two sisters and dozens of servants lived in it.

In one of them, for several days, the painful moaning that came from someone’s mouth has not ceased.

“Keuk, kuck… !”

A black-haired woman crawling on her floor with her hands and feet bound with ropes, groaning in pain.

Her black and white maid uniform and headdress, which symbolized her position, were in tatters before she knew it.

The owner of the dress, Geum Nari, was also moaning while crawling on the floor, looking as haggard as the clothes she was wearing.

“Che, caup, cup…”

A completely closed space with no windows or even a mirror.

The narrow room, reminiscent of a solitary cell in a prison, was connected to the outside with only one fine door leading to the outside.

Even that was a room that could only be opened and closed from the outside, so in many ways it was a space no different from a prison.

As if he was conscious of someone, not even a small blade was left on everything in the room.

The door and lock made of reinforced plastic were thoroughly sealed so that Geumnari’s awakening ability could not be used.

“How was it this time? The ‘pain of choking in water’.”

“Keuheuk, loud, kuk…”

“Even if you know it’s phantom pain, it’s still not easy to endure, right? Rather, if it were real pain, the brain might have felt familiar, but phantom pain is always transmitted vividly as if it were the first time.”

“Ha, big, Kaa…”

“… So. Would you like to say something now?”

A woman who seems to be smiling happily as she looks at herself lying on the floor with a smile on her face.

At the expression of her own older sister, her golden rose, Na-ri Geum was still radiating hateful eyes.

“If she had worked as Do-shi-hee’s servant for three years, wouldn’t she have asked five or six useful information about Do-kyung Group?”

“…”

“I wondered if our worthless little sister had some use value after all, but when it comes out like this, her sister is very sad too.”

“Sister… Sounds the same…”

“…”

“A crazy bitch who only knows what catches her eye… They didn’t even know they were being used… Sick year… Aaaaa… !!”

Her mouth muttered her gold roses with her hateful eyes, but the phantasmagoria immediately turned her mouth into screams instead of accusations.

Na-ri Geum crawled on her floor again and twisted her painful body as she felt her whole body burn.

She knew from long experience that no matter how much she tried to move her body to get rid of it, there was no point in the phantasmagoria directly touching her head, but it was an instinctive movement to shake off the pain even a little bit.

“Keuk, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha…”

“How do you feel about the newly created electric shock? I made it once while my nari ran away from home.”

“… Haaaaa, such an idiot, bitch…”

“Without Nari, there was no one I could practice with to my heart’s content. Do you know how hard it was to create a new one?”

The gaze of the golden rose looking at herself, treating her as insignificant than the experimental guinea pig.

It was Geum Na-ri, who had already gotten tired of that gaze and escaped from the Geumhyang Group three years ago and entrusted herself to Si-hee.

In the end, she came back to Geumhyang, where she wanted to escape so much.

While Si-hee was away, two people, Geum Dal-rae and Geum Jang-mi, broke into the Do-kyung group’s mansion.

“You keep coming out so uncooperative, I can’t help it now.”

“…”

“I have no choice but to taste your favorite thing after a long time.”

“… ?”

“‘Causing Pain’. Isn’t it time to try it once in a while?”

“… !!”

Even though it had been a long time since she had heard it, Geum Na-ri instantly felt a chilling sensation that made all the hairs on her body stand on end.

The name of the pain she couldn’t bear was coming out of the mouth of her golden rose.

The moment she heard its name, she began to feel fear to the point that she spontaneously pushed her body backwards.

“It’s something I can only use once a month, but the time has just turned since yesterday.”

“… Ha, don’t…”

“If I experience a causal pain once in a while, I don’t think even our masters will be able to endure it without opening their mouths on their own. Do you think so too, sir?”

“Go, don’t come any closer… !”

“I’ll tell you for sure after a long time. I will engrave directly into your brain what will happen if you dare to run away from the Golden Land…”

– Clap.

Golden Rose approaches with a goosebumps smile as Geum Nari runs away crawling on the floor with her hands and feet tied.

What stopped her behavior was the door to the confinement room that suddenly opened from the outside.

“Sister, come out for a second.”

“… Calm it down, I told you not to come in when your sister is ‘interrogating’ you.”

“‘That woman’ has come. Said she had something to say to me and her sister. Regarding Nari over there.”

“Nari is already in our hands, do we really need to hear the story of ‘that woman’?”

“You know her personality. I heard that if I and her sister don’t come out, she will take it as a refusal of her sincerity to come all the way to Yecheon.”

“… Haha, annoying Needless to say, there are so many things related to her…”

Instead of approaching herself to use the cauldron, the golden rose gets up and heads towards the door.

Na-ri did not quite understand the sudden situation itself, but she still felt a deep sense of relief that she had escaped, albeit for a moment, without experiencing a causal pain.

“Wait for me, Nari. I will finish work as soon as possible and come back.”

“… Forever… Get lost…”

“… I’ll be right back.”

As soon as the two sisters went out of the confinement room closing the reinforced plastic door, Na-ri quietly took a break.

An hour later, she needed to replenish her mental strength a little more to endure the pain that would come back.

“…”

I wanted to endure it somehow.

As much as Si-hee, who saved him and helped him until the end, he never wanted to betray him with his own words.

So, no matter how unfamiliar the pain was, Geum Na-ri had to endure it somehow.

Even if that is just an act of earning an extra day or two in this space where you can’t escape.

Before reaching the destination, Yehee Do began to give me a detailed explanation of what was going to happen inside the mansion.

“Perhaps, after entering the mansion, Jangmi and Dalrae will try to talk with me. It will probably be a sensitive topic, so all the servants will be sent out, and from that moment on, it’s time for you to be free to work.”

“Is that so.”

“Generally, it is a rule for outside employees to wait outside the door until the conversation is over, but there are many excuses to move. If you move while pretending to go to the bathroom or answer the phone, you won’t be noticed.”

“If necessary, I will call Seongcheol at the right time from outside.”

“In addition to that, you also have artifacts that blur your impression, so even if you walk around the mansion confidently, you’ll probably consider yourself one of the original servants of the mansion.”

Originally, it was just a mysterious mask I obtained to avoid being discovered as a male hunter, but I never thought I would use this item for infiltrating somewhere.

After all, it’s a job that you don’t know what will happen.

“Go around the inside of the mansion to locate and secure Eunbyeol as quickly as possible. If the work is finished, send two blank text messages to the number you gave me earlier and let me know.”

“I understand, Do Ye-hee.”

“Yes, good posture, Alfred.”

… Alfred?

“It is a general rule that Dokyung Group employees use pseudonyms. Get used to it.”

“… I understand, Do Ye-hee.”

“Slowly, it seems to have arrived.”

The sedan carrying the three of us down the road heading south arrived at a mansion in Yecheon, Gyeongsangbuk-do in about an hour.

As soon as I entered the mansion, I got out of the front seat of the car, opened the back seat door, and got Do Ye-hee out of the car.

“We have arrived, Do Ye-hee.”

“Yes, Alfred.”

“…”

“Come inside, Do Ye-hee. The master is waiting for you.”

Thinking over the unfamiliar title, I led Yehee Do by the hand and entered the mansion of the Geumhyang Group.

As soon as I entered the main entrance of the mansion, for some reason, I was able to face two women with familiar faces.

“Are you here, Ye-hee?”

“Long time no see.”

“Oh, I’m not waiting in the room. I didn’t even have to come out to meet you like this.”

“Ye-hee took the time to visit me here, but that’s not polite.”

“I just came out because I was happy, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

She thought quietly in her head, listening to the conversation that seemed oddly tense.

That woman with a strangely creepy smile while talking casually to Do Ye-hee must be a golden rose.

Conversely, that woman who speaks respectfully and gives off a relatively benign impression is probably Geum Dal-rae.

I wanted to slap him in the back of the head right now and subdue him, but if I did that, there would be an uproar.

In order to secure a safe goodbye, we had to refrain from hasty armed conflict as much as possible.

There’s nothing more stupid than fighting in the enemy’s lair, revealing yourself as a spy.

If you had infiltrated it, it would have been better to continue it in a safe way until the end.

‘Looking at the direction of the arrow, Eunbyeol seems to be upstairs.’

While I was contemplating for a moment about which part to explore first, Do Ye-hee’s mouth called my pseudonym and drew my attention.

“Alfred.”

“… Yes, Do Ye-hee.”

“From now on, I have to share an important talk with these children for a while, so please stay nearby for a while.”

“I understand, Do Ye-hee.”

Do Ye-hee, who calmly gives orders as if I were her original butler, and then moves into a parlor-like place.

After confirming that Jangmi Geum and Dalrae Geum entered the drawing room together, I naturally pretended to answer the phone and slightly distanced myself from the other workers next to me.

In order to explore the hidden location of Eunbyeol in earnest.
