Chapter 249 – Illegal Gambling (2)

Where am I?
Who am I?
I don’t know, I don’t even need to know that now.
The only thing that matters now is the number of cards that are lifted little by little as if the tip is curled.
8 or 4.
Please, please.
Please just once…

Swoop-

It is round.
Round!
Hehe… Round!!!

Nice!!!!

Cards turned face down on the table by my hand.
Three 8s and two 4s.
Yes, this beat!

“Full house!!! Cheer up!!”
“Boss!!”
“Older brother!!”
“OMG!!!”

Damn!! Damn!!

As I turned the revolving chair, I met the palms of No. 2 and No. 3, and I turned to the table with the chair turning half a turn again and smiled triumphantly at Oh Seung-jin sitting across from me.

“Now take a look~ hehe!!”
“Oh my… There’s a full house…”
Haha!!! The luck of inspiration ends here too~ Fuhahaha!!!”
“Ha…”

Oh Seung-jin sighs and lowers his head.
And I jump up and reach for the pile of chips.
However…

Cheer up!

Oh Seung-jin’s cards, which were released from my hand in turn, spread out on the table in a fan shape, and I collapsed onto the floor instead of a chair.

“Four, four, four cards…”
“Lucky Seven. There are four lucky 7s.”

Oh Seung-jin put down four 7’s, tilted his head to the side of the table and smiled softly at me who was sitting on the floor.

“This is a scam… “
“Boss!”
“Leader! Excitement is over!”
“… “

Everyone in the illegal gambling hall is looking at me.
Well, it doesn’t matter what they look at or what they think of me.
It’s just that I’m going to play here and this illegal gambling hall is closed.
This means that I will never be able to compete with Oh Seung-jin again.
That old man also threatened me that if I showed a violent side, he would never play games with me.

Kwaaaaak!!!!
Kwajik!! Kwajik!!

The table, which was rolled up tightly without overturning, came out like some kind of rye bread.
Calm down, strong.
The fight isn’t over yet.

“Whoa… Inspiration, two days later, this time today. Money from me Take all the money you have and come out.”
“I am always welcome.”
“… Then see you in two days.”
“Goodbye, little friend.”

Fast!!

It hurts, but you have to be patient.
As for my temper, I want to slap that old man in the face and take away all the money he has, but there is no point in winning like that.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
Gambling wins by gambling.
Certainly…

Kiik-

“Ugh..!”
“Ugh..!”
“Ah..!”

As soon as I opened the door and came out, me and No. 2 and No. 3 raised their palms to cover the sky and lowered their heads at the intense light pouring into their eyes.
And face to face.

“… “
“… “
“… Let’s wash up first.”
“Yes, Boss…”
“Yes, brother…”

After a while, we went back to the shelter and headed straight to the bathroom, where I shaved off my messy beard, took a shower, and soaked myself in the hot tub.

“Ugh… Good night… But who else did you lose to?”
“Mr. Hoyle…”
“I told the helicopter man…”
“What sport?”
“Right…”
“Right…”
“Change to Seotda. That would be more likely Go-Stop is difficult because it has both skills and psychological warfare. The seotda that you eat and enter by luck will be advantageous to you.”
“Yes!”
“I see, brother!”

No. 2 and No. 3 enter the hot bath with strong answers.
However, the eyes of the guy standing on the other side are very annoying.

“Look at what?”
“I teach my kids good things. And if you know this, Captain, you know it’s a problem, right?”
“If that mutt gets in the way, just get rid of it.”
“You madman! You killed the captain for gambling?!”
“Hyung, I may be joking, but don’t say such bloody things. It looks real.”
“Who’s kidding? I will not forgive anyone who gets in my way.”
“… “
“… “

At my words, Kwon Ju-hyeok and Kim Ji-hoon, who were washing before us, shook their heads and sighed, and I swam like a frog and went in front of them.

“Hey, give me the money.”
“Did you leave it to me?!”
“Pay back what you borrowed yesterday!!”
“Sheesh… Little pups.”

He cheated Kwon Joo-hyeok and extorted 40,000 coins, and borrowed 20,000 coins from Kim Ji-hoon yesterday.
In addition, he borrowed coins from Jackson, Minseo, Juha, Camilla, and Deanna, and he has more than 150,000 coins in debt all over the place.
And while No. 2 and No. 3 borrowed coins from No. 1 and No. 5 and managed to raise the stake, No. 4’s son did not give up a single penny, saying that he had no coins.
A foolish bastard…
I have to beat it later

***

“I’ll go.”
“… What are you up to?”
“What kind of plan is it? They said they would give you coins when you come back.”
“Are you saying you want to go just to earn coins? Make sense. And while you’re away, something might happen to the shelter. So you can’t.”
“Noisy! I’m going! I want to get some air!”
“… “

I want to get some fresh air after I’ve been stuck in an illegal gambling house for the past four days.
It’s the wind. It’s okay to walk around the shelter, but the desire to cool off for a drive in a helicopter surges.
It will be much more efficient than hunting around here as there will be far more monsters in the other unorganized areas than there are around here.

“From what I’ve seen, Mr. Hajin is not good at gambling. Even if you insist more, you will only lose coins, so stop at this point.”
“… “
“Oh no what… I think yes… Then let’s go~”
“That old man..! Hyung-nim, am I going to push that old man out?!”
“No, even if I push it here, it only hurts and doesn’t die. If it goes any higher, push it away.”
“Heh heh… All right.”
“Can you hear everything?! Who are you pushing!!”
“Who is that?! You’re a kid! Go up! Go higher!”
“Ahh! It’s dangerous, so go sit down!!”

Woo Jin-hwan, who ate 23,000 coins by beating 12-year-old No. 3, had to sweat because No. 3 invaded the cockpit, and the helicopter, which creaked from the start, left the shelter and flew to Gyeongsang-do.
I haven’t decided exactly where Gyeongsang-do is, but for now, I’m going to fly there and see if there are any survivors like I’ve been doing so far.
And since there are times when hunting is not possible for the 5 security guards who do this search and rescue work, and it is dangerous, they are given 5,000 coins each as an allowance, and the 25,000 coins are divided between me and No. 2 and No. 3. .
Of course, on the condition that I take 60%.

“By the way, how much does Mister get?”
“I only take 2,000 coins because I’m just flying a helicopter.”
“You get a lot. It’s all taxes.”
“The tax I paid..!”
“I paid my taxes too..!”
“Now, if you do something wrong, you could die, but you don’t get much!”
“Anyway, the man just drives and waits in a safe place. What’s the danger?”
“Where is this safe place?! It’s dangerous no matter where you go!”
“Ah… It is. Still, if you raised your stats by earning money from your nose, wouldn’t it be safe now?”
“That’s right, it’s not. My average stat is now close to 40… Wow!! What are you doing?!”
“Raising stats with my coins?! Then I got nothing! Give me! Give it up!!!”
“It’s dangerous! You damn kid!!”
“Push it away! Push it… Oops!!”

In an instant, No. 3, who unfastened his seat belt and stormed into the cockpit, grabbed Woo Jin-Hwan by the collar and shook it wildly, and in that way, I pushed Woo Jin-Hwan out of the window, blocking No. Enjoyed the scenery of

“There are so many factories. Uncle, where are you?”
“Go, if there are many factories, Gumi… Please stop!!”
“Die!!!”
“Ah… It’s Gumi. But isn’t that a rescue signal?”

The word SOS written in red on a wide blue roof that may be a factory or a warehouse.
And only then did the nurse-turned-rescuer from the security team, who had been sitting quietly, speak.

“Captain! Rescue signal right!”
“Oh, Mr..! Hey! Stay still! Let’s save people first!”
“Chi..!”

At the word to save people first, No. 3 calmed down a little and sat next to Woo Jin-hwan, and with the moderately lowered altitude, I opened the closed helicopter door wide.

Jump!!
Whoaaaaa!!!

When I open the door, the wind pours in and blows my hair.

“What, what are you doing?”
“What are you doing? I have to go down.”
“But here… “
“Then come down slowly~”
“Boss! Take me too!!”
“Brother, I will kill this old man and follow him soon.”
“Yes, kill me nicely.”
“No, really! Don’t joke like that!!”

Tadat-

Leaving Woo Jin-hwan’s resounding cry behind him, he jumped down and quickly moved away from the helicopter that lowered the altitude, quickly closing the distance from the ground.

Wooooo!!!!
Awesome!!!!

Debris from the floor, which dented and split in all directions, rose higher than my head, and by the time the fragments fell down, I straightened my slightly bent knees and lifted my head.

Deed Dede Deuk!!!

People poured out as the door opened in what seemed to be a warehouse, not a factory.

“What, what?!”
“What’s the matter?!”
“Did that giant appear?!”

Ssik-

Contrary to the urgent cries of the people who jumped out in surprise, I smiled leisurely and opened my mouth.

“I rescue you.”
“Ah… “
“Rescue team… “
“… “
“Something like that… Are you still there..?”
“Here it is. Well, let’s go inside and talk about the details… Ay, Mr! Why doesn’t this fall out like this?!”

Suwook-
Dududuk!!

I got out of the pit I had made, pulling my feet out of the ground, passed the people staring blankly at the helicopter above me, and entered the warehouse.

“Kek! Keek!! Oh, the smell of cigarettes..! No, everyone went mad because they wanted to die of lung cancer?!”
“Ah… Sin, sorry…”
“It’s done. Open a window quickly. Open that door, too.”
“But then the monsters… “
“Thank you for coming, so I open it quickly. Rather than that, what is it here?”

It was enough space for the survivors to gather.
However, it was a little unusual that smoke from cigarettes covered my eyes and there were a lot of tables here and there instead of beds and tents.
And the fact that bottles of alcohol and cigarette butts are piled up on the table is impressive… No way?!

“Is this a gambling house?!”
“No, rather than a gambling hall… I have a lot of time, but I have nothing to do…”
“Heh heh… “

I guess I came to the right place for this?

***

“Boss!!!”
“Older brother!!!”
“Why are you screaming loudly?”
“These people are good people!”
“That’s right! I emptied the ashtray and they gave me this much!”
“… “

You probably know what you’re holding in your hands, so why do you like it?
Hopefully guys…

“Hey, do you guys smoke?”
“No.”
“You don’t smoke?”
“But why do you like it?”
“Here, these are the chips.”
“100 coins for one.”
“Ah! Nice people! Give me that!”
“No, I do not want! We emptied the ashtray and received it!”
“Never give it away!”
“Give it to me!!”
“Ahh!!”
“Bounce!!”
“Those…! Not there… “
“Mr. Hajin! Are you going to keep doing this?!”

Former nurse Kim Soo-young, a rescue worker who came with us, screams in frustration.
I’m sorry… I haven’t even figured out these people’s skills yet, but they keep bothering me…

“Let’s go with that uncle.”
“Do you know what kind of people these people are and go with the captain?! And if you get caught!”
“Are you okay. I’ll save you later when I have time.”
“… Are you saying that now?”
“Okay. Then I’ll save you in time. Okay?”
“Ha… I’ll keep gambling and the fact that the museum is a secret gambling ground a secret from the captain. First, go to a place where people gather. There are people who are hurt!”
“Are you threatening me?”
“Please!!”
“Shit…”

I’ll have to look around the casinos later.
So, I left the warehouse with Kim Soo-young and No. 2 and No. 3 and headed to an apartment complex where people were living, and Woo Jin-hwan took a helicopter and moved to a safe place.
Something could have happened while waiting in the warehouse.

“By the way, how many survivors are there in total?”
“Ah… I guess I need to know the exact number of people to go? I have a list written up in my apartment. Still, there are a little over 50 people, roughly.”

Kim Soo-young asks the guide all the way to the apartment what she is curious about.
Unlike him, No. 2 and No. 3 are running amok with excitement over the overflowing prey.

“Come and go!!!”
“Gum gum!!!”
“… Are those kids really like that..?”
“Never mind. They are just high-tension kids.”
“Ah yes… But if it’s a shelter, does that mean the government and military are still in place?”
“Ah… That… Well, first of all, there is a president and soldiers in the shelter, so it can be said that it is being maintained… Is it just a façade?”
“Yes?”
“Ah, you’ll know when you go. We survived because of this person rather than the government or the military.”
“… “

At Kim Soo-young’s words, the guide turned his head and stared at me.
He looks older because of the beard, but other than that, he looks like he’s in his early to mid-30s… Are your eyes so bad?

“What you looking at?”
“Yes..?”
“Mr. Hajin!”
“I’m kidding. It’s a joke.”
“Ah yes…”
“Are you far away anyway?”
“No. It’s all here. There it is.”

The guide, pointing to an apartment complex not too far away, started to speed up a bit, probably because of my words, and within a few minutes I arrived at the apartment complex, where a crowd of people who had been contacted via the radio a while ago were gathered in front of the door.
From children who look younger than Dasol to elderly people who look like they are in their 70s, it doesn’t seem like they’re bad people, seeing as there are people of various age groups… Wait a minute, did I get it wrong?
Obviously that person…

“All, you…”
“Boss, what’s wrong?”
“Is this someone you know?”
“Mr..?”
“You are..!”

Ignoring the words of No. 2 and No. 3, Kim Soo-young, I took a step forward and stopped in front of a man.

“To meet you in a place like this…”
“Do you know me..?”

A gambler called the legend of Gyeongsang-do.
A character with only one ear.
We call him

“The companion of Gyeongsang-do… Please accept me as your disciple!”

“… “
