Chapter 1086 – [The True Story]
The two who returned to the starting point were the last batters, so the instructors were gathered together with the other children.
As soon as he comes back, Eden looks for ramen. It is an ordinary ramen that can be eaten on a daily basis, but ramen that can be eaten as a late-night snack in the mountains outside will be special.
“Ramen!!!!”
“I knew you guys would come and left some. It may have swollen a little, but would you like to eat it?”
“Yes!!! Please!!!!”
Even in summer, the weather in the mountains is colder than other places. Warm up your cold body from the chilly wind with ramen noodles and ramen soup.
It was the last hitter, so there were not as many ramen left as expected, but it was nice to be able to eat it anyway. Enjoying the special taste, Eden slurps the ramen and soup served in a paper cup.
“Ah, by the way, Director. I found strange people on my way earlier.”
“Strange people?”
“Yes, I’m just drunk and my eyes are open. He saw me and tried to drag me to do something nice.”
“…………..”
The director’s complexion turned cold. Then he turned his gaze to his mate, Sun Wookyi.
Perhaps he noticed what the director wanted to say, and Soon-wook nodded his head, agreeing with Eden. Because it was Soon-wook who punched and kicked those men who were not anyone else.
“Really. Maybe he’s still in the mountains.”
“……I understand. I think I know roughly who it is.”
“Does the director know someone?”
“Most people know only their faces. This mountain is owned by my family, and there are some guys who can guess what they’re doing around here at this time.”
“A family name?”
It’s not a family, it’s a family. Eden recalled the name of the director again.
And it’s just in case, but I’m asking just in case.
“Are you Geumsan Jo, the director?”
“Huh? How do you know that?”
“Do you know Yoonjae? Jo Yoonjae”
“The eldest grandson of the family… Do you really know him?”
“Does your great-great-grandfather use the surname Joe?”
“You seem to know our family well.”
Even if the name of the eldest son could be coincidentally matched, as long as the name of the head of the family, the eldest grandson, was correct, we talked about it. I didn’t say it until now because Eden said it was long, but now that I’ve come, it fits perfectly.
And having heard that far, I felt like I knew roughly how things were going. The mountain of the Geumsan Jo family. And there is a villa around it, and people who are okay with doing stupid things, and people from the same family who can guess who those people are.
It was clear that the men earlier were also from the Geumsan Jo family.
“Then the conversation should be faster. I should contact Yunjae and tell my grandfather~”
“Ahhhhh?! Now, wait a minute, Eden. If you do that…”
“Chief. I heard from those guys when we met earlier.”
Secretly, Eden spoke in a small whisper so that only the director could hear.
“Those men said that we should do it together because there was something good in the villa.
“……..!!!”
“Should I call the police or tell Yoon Jae’s grandfather?”
The director’s face hardened even more than before.
Drinking alcohol and trying to attack a minor, especially a child in elementary school, is a crime that is full and overflowing. But if you’re doing drugs as well… This is a big issue.
“……Eden, I will tell the elders about this matter. Of course, I will contact your parents as well.
“Yes, got it”
Eden saw the director’s usual behavior and attitude and knew that she was a member of the family and that she would not ask or do this. I just know this isn’t something for kids to talk about and I’m trying to make a better place.
Even if Eden, the victim, is the party, children are children after all. If there was a problem, the adults, not the children, had to talk.
“But those guys.
“What do you mean?”
“I do not know”
Right now, I don’t know because I’m crazy about alcohol and drugs, but with time, the effect of the curse will work well.
I wonder if that alone would be a punishment for them, but sometimes punishment is more punishing for not doing than doing something.
Thinking of that time, Eden smiled.
“……Every time you smile, I get goosebumps”
“When Dad sees it, he’ll like it because he looks like him!!!”
That was right.
* * *
After Eden went to the Taekwondo training camp, I received a report from the Utopia organization member in charge of protecting Eden and a call from the Taekwondo gym director, and I laughedhaha.
Somehow, there are a lot of things that make me laugh these days. That smile is never a good thing, though.
I glanced at Shion, and as if he knew that, Shion tells me rough information.
“The opponents are the children of Cho Jin-ho, a fourth-term member of the National Assembly. There are brothers in pairs.”
“How do you think George would be better?”
“First of all, of course, we will have to dismiss the father. There are also sins of not managing the children.”
“But I guess that bastard doesn’t know that my family is the Hanon family?
The sins of the parents are not the sins of the children. It’s no different from an evil law like guilt-by-association.
However, sins committed by children can become sins committed by parents. If you raised your children correctly, they wouldn’t sin in the first place.
Our Eden also grew up kind and well, so she grew up as a child who did not harm others for no reason or for her own desires. However, if Eden grew up to be a self-indulgent, mean child, she would have disciplined Eden strongly, even though I and Shion may feel pain in her heart.
That is the responsibility of parents. If the parents are alive and well, but the child grows up to be an idiot, it is ultimately the responsibility of the parents.
No, isn’t it rather strange that there are no parental responsibilities when the bastards of the 4th Congressman drink together, drink drugs, and play tricks on underage girls? Even if I grow up with indifference, I will not grow up to be such a fool.
“Is he cheating?”
“There are so many things that can ruin your political life if you just explode a couple of them. A few of them… Oh, do you remember the member of the National Assembly who was forced to show his face when we just moved in and was imprisoned for instigating murder?”
“I can’t even remember the name Hey. But is he related?”
“First of all, it was only the person who bothered me, so I only dealt with that guy, but the one I picked up and ate from below is quite a big guy.
“It’s the same everywhere that politicians are rotten.”
“This is why we must develop artificial intelligence quickly and use artificial intelligence to govern. Machines don’t lie.”
“Eve will like it”
The world thoroughly managed by artificial intelligence is also a place where I am positive. Because even such a place is not without freedom and development. Just because artificial intelligence does everything, it is only a guilty reason for humans to be weeded out and become redundant humans.
In a world like The Matrix, where humans became batteries due to machine rebellion, I would laugh at myself and not touch it. That’s why, if you’re going to make machines or artificial intelligence, you should have seen and learned good things to help human development.
Anyway, the next day, the elders of the Geumsan Jo clan contacted me. Unlike usual, there is a lot of guilt in his voice.
– I’m really sorry to have to contact you in this way. As an adult in the family, I really have no face.
“No, seniors. Even so, since you’re a human being, isn’t it difficult to control each and every member of your household? Especially if there are many family members to take care of.”
-If someone in my family had to do it, Eden would be a nuisance to that child. You can’t be forgiven even if you commit a major sin. However, I have to resolve the contract, so please find a day when you can afford it.
“Okay. Then I’ll see you soon.”
It can be suppressed by the power of the Hanon family, but sometimes the longing of a relative is much more relevant than someone with no connection. Besides, the despair of not being on the side of a family member would be quite enjoyable.
Me and Eden decided to set a separate day and go down to the head family house of the Jo clan in Geumsan.
“Jesabap!!!!”
“If we go, Eden will feel like going to a traditional Korean restaurant.”
“Aside from that, it’s nice to be able to play with Yoonjae”
“Yoonjae is also going to be in the third grade of elementary school now? Because he and Eden are a year older.”
“It’s a bit like that because school is far away so we can only see each other sometimes”
“It can’t be helped”
Eden and I headed to the Geumsan Jo family early in the morning because it was Friday. Since Eden is on vacation, there is always plenty of time, and I have time in the morning and early afternoon because Friday is evening.
And when we arrived at the home of the Jo family in Geumsan, Yoon-jae, the eldest son of this family, ran out. It seemed that he wanted to see Eden for quite some time.
“Sister!!!!”
“Hello Yoonjae!!!! I haven’t seen you in a while, right?”
“I will… But I’m sorry that I’m here today.”
“Why are you apologizing for that?”
“Because I am the eldest son, I have to become the eldest son of the head family someday, so I have an obligation to take responsibility for the affairs of the family, just like my grandfather.”
“Even though he is younger than me, he has a lot of responsibility. Let’s play together after talking.”
“Yes, sister”
Together with Eden, I entered the home of the Jo clan in Geumsan. Guided by the family of this house, we enter the big room.
And there were people who had already arrived. Since the elders of the clan are already familiar faces, there were three faces that Eden did not know, two of which Eden seemed to know.
“Wow, these are the guys who asked me to do something pleasant.”
“Ugh…”
“No, then that was…”
“You bastard.
After being scolded by the elders, the two of them shut up in pairs. If you look closely, the similarities in appearance definitely look like brothers.
However, considering that it was a little strange that a seat was a seat, the complexion of the two did not look too good. It’s like you’re wondering if a part of your body is hurting. No matter how much I drank and took drugs, if I had the stamina to climb a mountain, it wouldn’t happen overnight.
It seems like Eden has been cursed. The first time will be a situation where the spirit is fast, but the real thing will be after more time.
Seeing how much of a curse it was, it was no joke. At least thousands of people’s grudges were united, and it was sealed and matured.
“I made this place because of the two, no, the three, who tarnished the family’s name. Jo Yoon-jin and Jo Yun-min, you guys do things that siblings shouldn’t do as a pair, and you do really well.”
“I’m sorry, eldest grandfather…”
“I’m really sorry…….”
“If you knew you were really sorry, it’s normal to not do it in the first place. They say that you look taller than your peers, but is that what you would say to a child who is the same age as your cousin in elementary school? Are you a bastard or a human bastard?”
“Uncle, you seem to have said too harshly…”
“You’re keeping your mouth shut!!!!! I applied for the job that I want to be called my brother’s child, but I couldn’t educate my child, so I left this division behind!!!!”
Baaaaa!!!!
The elder grandson hit Cho Jin-ho, the father of the two and current fourth-term lawmaker, on the head with a smoking pipe next to him.
I want to use a smoking pipe in the world these days, but it was not an ordinary smoking pipe. There is no sign of using it as a pipe tobacco, but the head part is worn out, so it seems to be used for beating as it is now, rather than for smoking.
Somehow it seemed heavy. When I was in school, there was a teacher who used to hit me with a short sword, but I don’t think it hurts that much compared to that. In particular, the head is made of metal and is heavy, so even an elderly person can use it with enough damage.
“Two of them disgrace the family, and one of them doesn’t even properly educate such children. It’s very spectacle.”
“I’m sorry…”
“First of all, I will punish you guys. First of all, all three names will be erased from the genealogy of the Geumsan Jo clan.”
“Now, please wait a moment, Uncle!!!!”
“Those who do drugs are not from my family. And Jinho. I will cut off family support for you from now on. Take care of the next election on your own.”
“Yes?!”
“If you’ve made good connections and developed your own skills, you’ll be elected. If not, it’ll end there. Do it yourself.”
Unlike other head families that have lost their power in modern times, the Geumsan Jo family is said to have enough power in today’s society through personal connections and business. If you borrowed the power of such a family and became a member of the National Assembly, on the contrary, you will not be able to do anything without support.
Even from my point of view, Congressman Jinho Cho is dead with his own abilities, and even if he wakes up, he will not be able to become a member of the National Assembly. Having succeeded with the back, it’s time to ruin it with the back.
“No, Uncle!!! How do you take care of a two-year-old who looks prettier than us, who are related by blood?!”
“……What? Sheep?”
“You must be the father of the child, right? How do you know that bitch was the first to flirt when it seems like he’s already got his toes?!”
“There’s nothing this kid can’t say in front of an elementary school student.”
From my point of view as a listener, I don’t even get angry because I’m dumbfounded. But looking at his face, it was nothing more than a simple outburst.
It is said that even a mouse will bite a cat if it is cornered. Well, if the opponent is not a cat, but a lion or an elephant, a mouse bite won’t cause much trouble.
Then I took out my cell phone and made a call. As for where to call… He’s the top boss of a member of the National Assembly.
– Yes, I got a call. Chairman Choi.
“I’ll be in touch soon, Mr. President”
-No. Thank you even for contacting us. By the way, how did you contact me?
I deliberately set it up as a speaker phone so that everyone in the room hears the conversation.
The president has changed several times since Eden was born, but he is still close with the new presidents. There is nothing wrong with being friendly with excellent taxpayers who fill a large part of the national budget with taxes every year.
The voice of such a president is probably the most familiar to anyone in this room. Still, since he’s a 4-term lawmaker, it’s natural, and you can see his reaction when you see his face.
He was stunned that I knew the president’s direct phone number, but his hands and feet were shaking. I calmly watch it and continue the conversation.
“President. Do you know that Cho Jin-ho is a member of the 4th term?”
-Are you talking about Representative Cho Jin-ho? Yes I know But is there any problem?
“The two sons of Congressman Jin-ho Cho tried to rape our daughter by drinking drugs in pairs.”
-…………
“Even my wife is extremely angry. So, we are preparing a scandalous corruption bomb that can change about 100 seats regardless of the ruling party and the opposition party.”
If it explodes, it will be very nice to see. Is not it?
By the way, this is not a joke. If this doesn’t go the way we want, Zion will spread all related information on the Internet.
We just need to cross the river like that. Even if the economy sucks with that, it’s something that happened in a small country called Korea, so it’s possible to cover it enough. In the first place, an international society without China is also planned, but a country smaller than that is no big deal.
“What would you like, Mr. President?”
-I hope you can finish it with only Congressman Jinho Cho and his sons. We will take care of that issue here.
“Thank you, Mr. President. Then, let’s have a meal later.”
I ended the call moderately and hung up.
I spoke to Congressman Cho Jin-ho, whose complexion turned pale and shivered.
“What, why are you so serious?”
What’s really serious now?
