LAND DISPUTE (03).

[ Gong Pildu, POV.]

I come from a family which doesn't have much influence, wealth, or respect in society.

When I was a kid, I was bullied by many people. At that time, I didn't understand the difference between them and me.

After growing up, I married a very amazing and beautiful woman and had kids.

My small family was happy until the same bullying that happened to me started with my children too.

I didn't like that, and now that I have grown both physically and mentally, I know the difference between us.

"Money" is a thing that is very important to live a happy life in this cruel society.

I was a genius in my family, though I didn't have much help to grow as a genius; that wasn't true for now.

My wife was very helpful to me, and with that help, I bought land in Chungmuro and became the landlord of that place.

I predicted the future value of my land before buying it, and as I had predicted, its value increased due to the development in the nearby area.

I earned more money bought more land in the surrounding area and made more profit. I became rich very easily.

The people who first looked towards me and my family with disgust now run towards me for loans and more business deals.

Everything was going very well; we were very happy until everything fell apart.

The beginning of scenarios and the fall of this world destroyed everything I worked for. Not only that, it even took my wife and my children from me.

They weren't able to do things needed to survive in this world, and I saw their heads exploding in front of me.

I was devastated till I got my sponsor, a constellation called "Defence Master."

He said that he wasn't a very strong constellation, but he had power that would help me to gain whatever I had lost in this cruel world.

I took his helping hand and became his incarnation, and in return, he gave me power.

With this new power, I took control of Chungmuro Station and became the landlord of this place.

I even formed my alliance named "Chungmuro Landlord Alliance." With my intelligence, it was very easy to take control of these weak people.

I even killed to make my influence much stronger in this station.

And after achieving everything, I have now; still, there is a lingering emptiness holding my heart in its possession.

I made my alliance much stronger and tried to find my happiness in this alliance, but still, it wasn't enough.

I'm just a broken man influenced by this broken world.

"Make the deal, Gong Pildu..." Gong looked at Yu Jung-Hyeok in silence, then he turned around his head and looked at his surroundings.

'My empire...' Gong knew after feeling his power that he was helpless. He was the only guy who had the power to fight him, and after feeling his pressure, he knew that fighting him could be very lethal for him.

Thud...

Gong Pildu stood up with a serious look on his face and turned towards Yu Jung-Hyeok as if sizing the guy while thinking about something.

[The character 'Gong Pildu' has activated 'Profit Calculation Lv. 2!]

"What profit do I get in this deal?" Gong Pildu started to negotiate as he knew fighting right now was pointless.

"You get to keep your life, isn't it much of a profit for you?" Yu Jung-Hyeok spoke with a calm look, and hearing him, Gong Pildu just looked at him with a deadpan expression.

'Is he dumb?' Gong Pildu.

"That's not how a deal works, kid. You give me something in return, and I'll consider your deal." Gong knew he was shooting in the dark, but that was his only way. He's going to use his landlord experience here.

"If you don't want the deal, then that's fine by me. I'll just slaughter you all." Yu Jung-Hyeok spoke while he took out his blade, pointing towards Gong Pildu, and seeing that, the Landlord Alliance started to panic.

"That won't be necessary." Gong can't help it as he was surprised there for a second that he just said that he'd slaughter them up, but somehow Gong felt that it wasn't overconfidence.

"I just want to change the end of the deal," Gong spoke, and seeing that Yu Jung-Hyeok didn't deny or stop him, he continued.

"As your deal has said, I won't do direct or indirect harm or anything that would cause trouble to your party. In return, you won't cause any problem to us... You won't get into our matter and let us do anything we want." Gong spoke with a serious look. He was digesting on himself that he had to make a deal with him, but right now using force is not the right thing to do. And seeing that the next scenario is going to start at any moment, he had to take calculated steps.

Yu Jung-Hyeok, after hearing him, wondered about the deal Gong had presumed in front of him.

[Constellations are waiting for your decision.]

"Very well, I'll accept." Yu Jung-Hyeok spoke with a calm tone.

'Wait for me after this; it would be me who will kill you, bastard!!' Gong cursed Yu Jung-Hyeok inside his mind.

"So tell me, who are your party members?" Gong spoke as he looked towards Yu Jung-Hyeok with an annoyed look.

"We are three members, including me, Kim Namwoon, and..." Yu Jung-Hyeok turned his face toward Yi Ji-Hye and pointed toward her. "She..."

"Huh!" Seeing him pointed towards her, Yi Ji-Hye just looked at them with a dumbfounded look.

"Ah... Can I also come in your group..." Suddenly, the guy standing nearby spoke with a worried tone.

Yu Jung-Hyeok looked towards him as if sizing the guy from top to bottom.

"No." Yu Jung-Hyeok being Yu Jung-Hyeok after seeing that the guy is not much of a help rejected him.

And seeing that, he trembled a little bit but didn't say anything.

"Though you can still stay here..." But suddenly he heard Yu Jung-Hyeok's voice.

"Give him a separate room to stay..." Yu Jung-Hyeok spoke while turning towards Gong, who didn't like Yu Jung-Hyeok's behavior of commanding him but still just nodded his head.

"You can take any room you like here on the ground floor, but remember the deal and don't interfere with our alliance," Gong spoke again with a rude tone, but Yu Jung-Hyeok just ignored the guy and walked away.

"Come with me!" Yu Jung-Hyeok turned around towards his companions and spoke. He turned towards the boy and said.

"Find a room for yourself..." He spoke and then turned towards the crowd looking at him with a surprised and scared gaze. "No one will say anything to you."

"Hmm... Yes!" The boy spoke while Yu Jung-Hyeok didn't mind him much and walked away, while Kim Namwoon just silently walked towards the station, wanting to find his room for only himself.

Seeing that no one was talking much, Yi Ji-Hye just walked towards Yu Jung-Hyeok as she didn't know what to do in this situation. She didn't like the tension of this place.

"Boss, are you not going to do anything?" Suddenly the guy who had first announced about the room taking under them spoke to Gong Pildu.

"This is not the Right Time.. keep an eye on them and Give me details about them Jincheol" Gong Spoke and Jincheol nodded his head.

Gong Turned around towards Choi Han-Gyu, who was Still Unconscious lying on the Ground.

"Tsk...and he said he was strong....Take him and bring him inside the Safe Zone..." Gong Spoke and Jincheol nodded his head and walked towards Choi Han-Gyu.
