Chapter 857 – Issue 1 (1)

I don’t think it’s necessary to talk about the entire three-day training process, so I’ll just talk about the results. No. 2 completed the three-day training better than I expected.

It was a crazy order to shoot a betting machine at one’s own body, so to be honest, I thought there was a possibility that I wouldn’t listen at all. Or, after getting hit for about 10 times, you can’t stand it anymore and give up.

However, contrary to my expectations, Geumdallae was waiting for me after receiving all the 50 lashes I mentioned, or more accurately, 55 lashes in total, with one for each body part. I didn’t specifically observe the entire process, but I got the information by asking Bell.

When I asked why it was necessary to get more correct than what was ordered, this was the answer I immediately received.

“I got hit ten times like the guard told me to do, but I might have counted wrong, so I only got one more hit just in case…”

“…”

“Well, I couldn’t take any more pain than that… Yes, if I counted wrong, I’ll give you more than what I’m missing right now, prison guard…”

In other words, it meant that in order to keep my orders, I was willing to take on more pain than I should have. Even after that, seeing as he was still anxious, it seems like the next day’s training was truly terrible.

They say it was because of fear, but thanks to that, they started listening to me better, so it wasn’t that bad.

‘I never thought I would become this submissive before I brought Golden Rose.’

It was a good development because the two of us were on the same page and even thinking about resisting became annoying.

Of course, in order to eliminate the resistance of No. 1 and No. 2, I intentionally planned to create a situation that would allow them to escape at least once, but it was clear that it would be easier to deal with if I broke their willpower to some extent before that.

If he misbehaved during the three-day test, I planned to tie him to a restraint and manage him with an automated machine (manually operated by a bell in the form of a bell), but after seeing this, I thought I could leave him alone for about a week. 〈 Br〉

“It looks like you did as I said for three days, so I’ll give you a week of reward vacation in return.”

“Yes… ?”

“Of course, don’t imagine that you will be released freely outside, but the condition of not being able to leave this room is still the same.

Instead, I won’t touch a single hair of yours for a week, so I’ll just live without it. “I will give you enough food and water to survive.”

At the same time as he said that, he took out a bag of biscuits and a few bottles of mineral water and handed them over.

Just because it was a vacation, I had no intention of serving a special meal other than biscuits. For Geumhyang’s sisters, who harassed Eunbyeol and took away her position as successor, just enough food was enough to survive without dying.

“Is this a week…?” ? Well, then how many punishments should I get for a week… ?”

“Huh?”

“I was in the 50s for three or three days, so I guess I can get 120 hits in a week…? ? Ha, if you only get 20 hits a day, you can rest for about a day… ?”

“…”

It was damaged to the point where it was a bit excessive. Even though they clearly said it was a vacation, they ask how many hits they should receive as punishment.

The fact that she became this calm in just a few days also meant that I had succeeded in educating this woman in a strong and sure way.

‘Now that it’s happening again, it’s a bit strange to eliminate the punishment altogether.’

For some reason, in this situation, the thought that if I remove the punishment during the vacation, I would return to my previous rebellious attitude.

In fact, it was also a moment when it occurred to me that it would be easier to deal with this woman if she continued the punishment but drastically lowered the level of punishment rather than getting rid of her completely. Anyway, the only thing No. 2 can use to pass the time in this room is that torture device, so it would be better to give him something to focus on rather than making fun of time to make him feel harsh.

In my head, I told Bell to make paper and fountain pens that could be used in this space, and sentenced Geumdallae to a lighter punishment than before.

“Only those in their 50s. “Just like last time.”

“Well, is that enough?!”

“Okay. This is a reward for you because you listened to me carefully. Didn’t I tell you at the beginning that if you just follow what I’m told, you’ll be able to live a little more comfortably? “Don’t you remember?”

“Thank you, prison guard!!” Thank you… !!”

She originally didn’t intend to punish her, but it would be better if she didn’t mention the fact that she opened her mouth and the punishment was increased.

In any case, even if it wasn’t a punishment, I thought that a device that made it impossible to think about anything else was important in many ways, so this time I took out a wad of paper and a fountain pen made with Bell’s ability and threw them next to the food on the floor.

“Kyo, prison guard… ? What is this… ?”

“If I’m bored during the week, I’ll play with this. “Whether you write or draw, whatever you want.”

“Ho, are you asking me to draw a floor plan of Geumhyang Shinga Mansion? Or write down other necessary information…”

“It’s not like that, so just use whatever you want. It doesn’t matter whether you make a paper airplane and fly it or crumple it up and use it as a substitute for toilet paper. Don’t you think it would be a bit difficult for you to spend a week in this space just eating and sleeping?”

“Kyo, prison guard…”

Geumdallae hears my words and for some reason looks at me with tears in her eyes.

I thought he was going to burst into tears because he was so sad about his situation, but looking at his subsequent reaction, it seemed like that wasn’t the case.

“Thank you, prison guard! Ah, I will continue to listen carefully to the guards and remain calm!!”

“…”

Have the past few days been so painful that you’ve forgotten that it was you who caused that pain?

For a moment, I thought it was just a pretense to impress me, but seeing this woman’s liking change in real time, it didn’t seem like that.

『Current favorability: -30』

Apparently, the favorability rating, which was -60 when I checked it a few days ago, has been cut by almost half since the conversation just now, showing signs of increasing.

It was a truly absurd change in attitude, but I expected it to happen. I guess I have some kind of Stockholm Syndrome.

⁎ ⁎ ⁎

The full-fledged action to kidnap the golden rose began that morning.

The night felt even longer because I went back and forth between Belle’s dungeon and my room every hour. Only six hours had passed since 2 a.M. Until now, but if you include the time spent in and out of Bell’s Dungeon, it would have been at least ten hours. Of course, I couldn’t sleep well.

Of course, even that was nothing compared to No. 2, who spent six full days in Bell’s dungeon, but it was inevitable that he would still feel a little tired.

“Haha, um…”

“Why is the boy yawning so loudly in front of the bed? Are you tired?”

“Little? “I’m not tired enough to even worry.”

“Well, what are you worried about… “I only asked because it looks ugly?”

“I listened carefully to the remarks of Miss Han Min-ah, who asks me to kiss her ugly snout when she is in heat.”

“Hey, this is real!”

Wow. Han Min-ah’s punch, with a little bit of her strength, knocked her on the side. It didn’t seem like she really hit Minah seriously, so it didn’t hurt her that much.

“Are you going to work today, brother?”

“Hmm… “I think it might be difficult.”

“Taekyung is very busy these days. I go somewhere every day, but I don’t even show my face at work. Do you have anything else to do?”

“Uhm, well. “I’m busy with various things.”

“What are you busy doing these days? Are you ready to change jobs?”

“… Hey, Hanjin. Don’t bother Seong Tae-kyung and just eat. “You made a reservation for the dungeon this morning as well.”

“Ac, whatever. You might just ask out of curiosity…”

“… Seo, I guess Seong Tae-kyung is busy with many things. “There has been a lot of talk these days about redevelopment of Chuncheon City, but isn’t Seong Tae-kyung being called out for various reasons since he is the main character in the recapture of Chuncheon City?”

“Hmm, is that so? “For that reason, I can understand why you are busy.”

… In reality, I was busy with something completely different.

From the looks of it, Han Mina seems to know that the reason I am busy these days is related to the new guild that will be established in Chuncheon City.

Among the members of this table, the only people who know that fact are me and Han Min-ah, so I guess I’m trying to keep quiet for now.

He did not bother to add an explanation that he was busy because he had kidnapped the Geumhyang Group’s second daughter and tortured her for several days, and now he had to kidnap her first daughter. If I said something like this, it would only cause controversy in many ways.

“I think I’ll probably be busy for about a week, and then I’ll be able to go back to work. “Right now, I’m busy taking care of a lot of things that would be bothersome if I didn’t do them now.”

“Ugh, I see~. “I hope you can go to work again quickly, brother.”

“Anyway, even if we go to work together, we can’t go on expeditions together.”

“But I can still see my brother’s face at the lunchtime restaurant or in the recovery room when the time is right. Just realizing that we are working at the same company as my brother brings great joy to me and Jin-ah.”

“Oh, and Minah, too! Yesterday, we ate together at work once, and I had a strange sense of whether my brother was going to work in the afternoon or not…”

“Hey, Hanjin! My, when did I do that?! “Would you lie with such a shameless expression?!”

Seeing him getting so upset, it seemed like it wasn’t a 100% groundless lie. If I really didn’t care, there was no way I would have reacted so openly.

The fact that Han Min-ah is like that probably means that Hye-eun and Cha Yu-ri are also eagerly waiting for me to return to the company, and it has been a while since she met people other than the company or foundation in the first place. Including people like Hwayoung and Areum.

In order to perform my duties as Hunter’s libido manager, I needed to finish the work I was currently handling as quickly as possible.

And, a few hours later.

-Clap!

“Ahh!!”

Ssangnyeon No. 1, who was kidnapped without a word by my hand, was dragged into Bell’s dungeon.

No matter how much information I received from No. 2, I had no idea that they would succeed in bringing it in so easily.
