The Barbarian Writer of a Martial Arts Visual Novel Chapter 280

EP.280

“Heo Song’s body was found in an entertainment district with half of his face torn off.”

Waste of time. The real culprit of the Dangga Poongwoon impersonation incident. Mangeumjeonju’s maternal grandson was found dead.

“Who are you saying did such a terrible thing?”

“….”

It’s me?

The police officer looked at me intently.

“I think there’s some misunderstanding…”

“When was the last time you met Heo Song?”

“It’s not even recent; we only met once a while ago at Mangeum Library.”

“I heard that Heo Song and Ho Pil are involved in a case of impersonating writers.”

Are they investigating me as a suspect?

Fortunately, they didn’t just ignorantly drag him away, so it seems like his name is only on the list of suspects.

“yes. “There was a case where a novel that I published was published using a fake author.”

It seems like we did some research, so let’s not spin the story and tell the truth.

“An incident of impersonating a writer and having the skin of one’s face ripped off. “Don’t you think it’s too elaborate?”

Since you impersonated the pen name of the writer’s face, does that mean you ripped off the skin of his face?

Even though I enjoyed reading detective stories about a guy who sells my grandfather’s name and uses memorization to instantly kill an elephant, where a secret murder occurs every time I travel, I still have my doubts.

“I simply had a bit of a business conflict with Heo Song. “How can someone do such a terrible thing?”

I put my hand on my chest and said with an expression that seemed unfair to the world.

“I heard that barbarians have a custom of killing people and skinning their faces.”

Anyway, why are there so many rumors about barbarians? Why are we called a people who wear leather faces and carry chainsaws?

“What?! “Who do you think are horse-riding barbarians!”

“What do you think of Koreans?”

“Oh no, that’s not it.”

When the other Koreans in the room heard the story and screamed in indignation, the police officers also hesitated in embarrassment.

Support shooting is good. I took a step towards the police officers and opened my mouth with misunderstood anger.

“Joseon is a country that knows communist alliances. “Even though I am from a foreign country, I have learned the Four Books and Three Classics since I was young. How can I use such barbaric customs?”

Even though the idiot Kang Yun-ho went to sleep thinking his teacher’s voice was white noise, he still learned.

“Even among the martial arts people, there are sometimes people who do such things out of spite.”

Then don’t talk about barbarians. You guys do worse things than these barbarians.

“The impersonation issue is already over. “If you don’t believe me, please contact Gilsan Jeon or Jeonju Mangeum at Mangeum Bookstore and they will explain in more detail.”

Even cutting off support for hats that banned publication of my reward, Danga Pung-Woon. There was no reason to hold a grudge anymore.

“Hmm.”

The police officer kept looking at me as if he was trying to get some clue from my attitude.

“I don’t think there is much difference from the story I heard at Podu’s Mangeum Bookstore.”

“Is that true? Who on earth committed such a terrible act?…”

Has the other side already been investigating?

“Can I just go do some work now?”

“okay. There doesn’t seem to be any suspicion right now. I apologized for being busy. “Let’s just go.”

————–

“Those damn management bastards. “Anyway, if they see black hair, they’ll go out of their way to catch something.”

When Suksu Ahn returned to his guesthouse, he sat me down on the chair across from him and said, gritting his teeth.

“The more we do that, the more thoroughly we have to work.”

“You have no idea how hard I worked against the management to get permission to operate Ungi Guesthouse.”

“Basically, they are a group of people who confiscate their faces just by looking at their hair color.”

Even if something unfair happens to a black-haired slob, he cannot rely on public authority. This was something I clearly realized while living in Jungwon.

“that’s right. … But just in case, you didn’t really skin the face, did you?”

Sooksu Ahn glanced at me with a half-witted look and asked.

“haha. “Is Master Ahn doing the same?”

“No, you did it so hotly during the Hoeju inauguration ceremony that I thought it was just in case. “Isn’t the Samgu brother even going so far as to pretend to die these days when you tell him to die?”

Is it because a lot of the invoices of black people were cleared out during the Hoeju inauguration ceremony?

The reason why the local community members seemed very nervous even when I smiled at them was because of what happened during the inauguration ceremony.

“Isn’t that what you did as the head of the congregation? “If I were to be caught, all Korean people in Wuhan would suffer, so how could I do such a thing?”

In times like this, I have to repeat Ahn’s words exactly as they were.

“Wow. After all, unlike a guy like me, he’s really a member of the society.”

“But what have you been doing since a while ago? “It’s not like you’re extorting money from local community members.”

Sooksu Ahn was sitting at his seat, writing down the names and amounts of money paid by the Koreans in line.

“What is extortion! “Don’t just stand by and say hello.”

“See you at the inauguration and see you again!”

“hello. Lord Hoe! “I’m late to say hello!”

Suksu Ahn greeted the Koreans standing in line and began to explain what he was doing.

“I was taking care of the lump sum money of local community members.”

“A lump sum?”

“Isn’t Jungwon a place where even if there is a building, it’s not easy to get permission to stay there just because you have black hair? Then, how about using Jeonjang (錢莊)?”

“It won’t be easy. “It’s full of people from foreign countries, without connections, and without guaranteed status.”

Even in modern times, it is cumbersome for foreigners to open a cell phone or bank account, but this was the world of martial arts.

“yes. It’s a battlefield that can only be used if you run a business like Hoeju or me. “Even if it’s annoying, we take the money from local members and put it into the battlefield.”

“If that’s the case, please hand it over to me.”

“That’s more annoying. “Someone whose face you don’t know may appear and ask you to hand over the money, and you don’t know when the money you entrusted will be taken, so you have to inform the people you entrusted it of the transfer, so it’s better to just keep doing what you were doing.”

Sooksu Ahn rejected my offer, as if it were better not to worry about the hardships of a factory manager with decades of experience.

“You’re going through a lot of trouble.”

“If you find out, don’t skin my face later.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha.”

“I’m in a bad mood because these bastards are visiting, so let’s close the door later in the evening and have a drink.”

“Good.”

That night. To commemorate passing my exam, we had a small party at the guesthouse.

After hearing the news of Heo Song’s death, there was a rumor going around that people in the Korean community’s community could be in big trouble if Hoeju was disliked, but since it was not a rumor that would stop spreading just because they denied it, they decided to leave it at that.

——

“Why didn’t you come to Heosong’s funeral?”

It’s been a week since the news of Heo Song’s death was heard.

While I was busy running my business and thinking about how to expand it in the future, Jeon Gil-san visited my office.

“Why am I going to Heosong’s funeral?”

It’s not like I’m going there just to get a bowl of noodles.

“Well, it’s just a rash from scratching for no reason.”

Jeon Gil-san clicked his tongue slightly and made a sad expression. Even though I’m a bitch, I guess it’s a pity that my maternal cousin died.

“How are things going? The police officers came a few more times and became a nuisance.”

At some point, they stopped coming because they couldn’t find any more suspects.

I asked Jeon Gil-san, who had already started talking.

“It’s weird. “The body was found in the red light district, and it is a red light district with a high concentration of Giru, Juru, gambling, and red light districts, so it is also a place where several people clear away corpses every day.”

“You mean he could have died from a fight or from being robbed?”

“But what’s also puzzling is that Kang Yun-ho has been missing since the day you went to Heosong Mansion, and his body was recently discovered.”

“It could be that he was killed and thrown somewhere.”

Does this mean that if the disappearance period was long, it may not have been an accidental murder?

“okay. Hey, this guy was bigger than me, so he had a lot of places to live. “Maybe that’s why his face was peeled off, or maybe he died for a reason I don’t want to imagine.”

Jeon Gil-san clicked his tongue and lowered his gaze, as if there was something he didn’t like just thinking about.

“You mean the successor test?”

“okay. What a waste that guy. If the two of us hadn’t interfered, we would have hit it all at once by selling Dangga Pungun. “Of course, the time of disappearance was before you invaded the mansion.”

Heo Song was killed when he attempted to pass the succession test.

If it were really true, it would be something that would make even the world’s most powerful man grab his head.

“Have some refreshments.”

“Thank you.”

Ha-yeon Lim handed us refreshments and then sat down at her desk and began to listen to our story.

“So you didn’t skin your face?”

This guy, Jeon Gil-san, is asking too. Does it really seem like there is a connection between the impersonation incident and facial skin?

“You and I solved the problem of impersonating Hopil. “If you doubt me, should I doubt you too?”

“Not me! There are lines that people must follow! “How could you do such a terrible thing to your family?”

Jeon Gil-san was startled and waved his hand.

The one who didn’t keep the line the most. They say that goodness is maintained in infinity, so it doesn’t really fit.

“If I wasn’t the type to keep the line, we wouldn’t be talking right now.”

Even made a partial contribution to the Uichang incident and Daseo-gak confiscation case. Jeon Gil-san, I can even jump rope with the line you crossed.

“Ugh. “I admit it.”

Jeon Gil-san also nodded as if he had nothing to say.

“Oh, by the way, I heard you’re dating my maternal cousin, Jegalhyang?”

“Where did you get that news again?”

“Among my maternal cousins, I am the only one who is familiar with Zhuge-hyang.”

“aha.”

Is it because Jeon Gil-san runs a Mangeum bookstore?

“The kid who never came out of his room came all the way to the funeral and seemed like he was looking for someone. “I looked around and asked, and I found out.”

“…That woman found store manager Kang Yun-ho?”

Lim Ha-yeon, who was quietly listening to the story, had a strangely sharp voice.

“In the end, I only stayed for a short time on the first day, but as the crowds gathered, my complexion became pale and I left feeling nauseous.”

“Haha….”

No matter how you think about it, it’s a fun little book.

“Anyway, brother-in-law.”

“yes?”

“what?”

What does this bastard say to me now?

“If I marry my maternal cousin, isn’t she my brother-in-law? Brother-in-law. “Family is precious.”

Jeon Gil-san looked at me with an extremely serious face.

“Who on earth is whose brother-in-law!”

That’s what I mean. Im Ha-yeon hurriedly got up from her desk and fired at Jeon Gil-san.

“Jeon Gil-san. “Don’t do anything that doesn’t suit you.”

No matter what the two of us said, Jeon Gil-san continued talking without changing his serious expression.

“Although we met on bad terms, isn’t it an undeniable fact that we have already helped each other twice and have become business colleagues? I can’t even count the days we drank together. So…”

“Stop talking nonsense and get to the point.”

This bastard is talking nonsense that is not appropriate.

“Ugh… please reduce my franchise fee.”

“what?”

“After the funeral, my grandfather gave each of his grandchildren one more slip. “It seemed like he was worried that those who had made a mistake in their first business might have resorted to extreme measures, so he opened a way for them.”

“So you’re saying you’re offering one more affiliated guesthouse?”

“Brother-in-law. When I become the next owner of Mangeum Battlefield, I will not forget what happened today and show you what it means to push and pull your family. So, a little grace today…”

“That’s it. “There is no change in the terms of the contract.”

He interrupted the conversation resolutely.

“Really! Even if you stab him, not a single drop of blood will come out!”

Because I got stabbed, there was a lot of blood.

“If you don’t like it, don’t do it.”

“Huh. I brought a stamp. “Let’s stamp it quickly.”

No matter how I think about it, I think I did a good job with the franchise business.

Jeon Gil-san finally sighed and signed the second slave contract.

———

“I will be able to provide urgent funds with the franchise fee I received from Jeon Gil-san… Hayeon Sojeo.”

I held the contract with Jeon Gil-san’s seal and called out Ha-yeon Lim, who was looking at the ledger and muttering something.

“…You both said you were forced to come out…”

“Soje?”

“why!”

Why are you screaming in surprise?

“Please summarize the current budget and write a report. “If Jeon Gil-san pays the franchise fee, we will also have to prepare to open a branch.”

“I need to organize it, but I don’t think it will be enough. Even if it were possible, I think I would have to spend all my money.”

The delivery business was booming every day. However, using the money earned to open a delivery restaurant branch is a different story.

Since we had to utilize Jeonseo-gu, we had to purchase a building with multiple floors rather than a one-story building.

In addition, we had to remodel the guest house and find a place to order a lot of delivery food, so a lot of initial capital investment was required.

“Why are Wuhan buildings so expensive?”

They say Seoul in Hubei Province is Wuhan, but that’s too much.

“…I passed the first test, so isn’t it okay to take some time off?”

“Whether it’s Mangeum Jeonju or Simun Hyangju, I want my business to grow, so I have to keep running.”

We need to expand our business and hire many Koreans from the Haomun family.

“Money doesn’t fall from the sky, but you have to make a profit only from the money you earn through vouchers and business. “There is no way to do it right now.”

“That’s right. “Money from the sky… no, wait a minute.”

Money from the sky?

Is there really no way to make up for the lack of money? No, there is.

That’s a method that only I can use.

“Sister Ahn!”

I quickly left the office and looked for Ahn Sook-su.

“why?”

“You said you would take money from the local community and put it on the battlefield, right?”

“uh? “Why is that?”

“Please show me that ledger.”
