I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

260.Business Is Not Done With Words (8)

“What, you missed it?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Gross frowned at the unexpected news.

‘You ran away?’

“Stop talking nonsense! “I spent a lot of money hiring the best assassins in the area, but they failed?”

“Well…Lord Quartz took Dern Sandanju and escaped.”

“Quartz wonder?”

Gross’s fat face was distorted ugly. At that sight, his subordinate, who was kneeling in front of him, broke into a cold sweat.

‘How can we stop him from escaping in ridiculous ways!’

It’s unfair.

But I couldn’t express my resentment. His superiors won’t listen to such complaints.

“How did Lord Quartz know the location of Dern Upper Lord?”

“That…Probably received help with information.”

“Damn…”

He hit the table so hard that the teacup floated in the air. A high-quality teacup worth two gold coins broke with a clanging sound, but he had no time to worry about that.

‘If Dern comes back alive, I’m done!’

It was a plan that had been put together for several years, but it could not have fallen into vain like this. At the very least, you should have enough time to escape in case your plan fails. Gross rolled his head, looking down blankly at the scarlet liquid staining the floor.

‘You can’t touch Lord Quartz… But if you don’t stop him, Dern’s return is a foregone conclusion. I tried to deal with Bedin and Adam without being noticed, but it ended up like this…’

Sinules sprouted from Gross’ smooth head. He thought he would be relieved if he overturned the table and made a fuss, but he knew it was not the time, so he ended his anger by hitting the table once more.

“Gibson. You must tell Adam this news. Adam and I are like a community with a shared destiny, so we should cooperate. “He was the one who got the medicine in the first place.”

Gross looked blankly at the broken teacup and recalled an incident from his past.

‘What? Are you going to kick Dern out of his position as head of the merchant?’

‘Isn’t this what Mr. Gross wanted?’

‘Yes, but… ‘

‘An angel’s call. With just two pills, the position of head of the upper level will become vacant.’

‘Isn’t he your father? ‘What is the reason for doing this?’

‘Have you forgotten whose son I am?’

‘…It’s a bit hard for me to say it, but isn’t it the father who raised me?’

‘…Well.’

“…I should be prepared to run away if I get wrong.”

Even if he steals 30% of the wealth he has accumulated at the top, there will be no problem in living well and comfortably for the rest of his life. He played with the ring on his hand. The fingers that were touching his sweat-covered ring became slippery with sweat.

How long was it like that?

The door opened and a tall-looking young man appeared. He looked at the liquid staining the floor and frowned.

“You seem very angry.”

“…Do I look like I’m not growing?”

“Hmm. “It seems my bribery was weaker than I thought.”

“Is there a good way?”

Instead of answering Gross’ question, Adam shrugged his shoulders.

“You just need to take your time.”

“How? “You’re not planning on messing with Sir Quartz, are you?”

“There are more than Lord Quartz.”

Adam’s head turned to the right. Gross ‘gaze naturally followed his gaze

“Her. “It will be very annoying if it is found out that we did it.”

“You think simple. All we need is proof that we did it. There are also gangs who will become our hands and feet… “

A twisted smile appeared on Adam’s lips. Gross unconsciously rubbed his forearm as he smiled. I felt the texture of smooth skin in his hands

“There is no mercy.”

“Once you start a job, shouldn’t you see it through to the end? So, Mr. Gross, please take responsibility for Mr. “Bedin and deal with it.”

“… If you fail, you’ll die anyway, so it’s a dead end.”

‘I guess I’ll have to deal with that guy too when the time comes.’

Two people with the same thoughts held hands.

——————–

“This place…Ugh…”

“Are you out of your mind?”

“John… ?”

“I don’t know if you remember, but I brought you here.”

At my words, Dern Sangju narrowed his eyes. I couldn’t tell if it was because of my broken body his, or because I was looking back on memories with a weakened body.

“…What day is today?”

“Today is April 17th.”

“You mean it’s been 15 days?”

He looked at me with a surprised face.

Well, if I come to my senses and say that 15 days have passed, of course I would react that way.

He could not speak for a while and lowered his head.

Your mind must be complicated. It looks like almost all of my memories have disappeared. I quietly looked out the window until he came out of his thoughts.

How much time has passed? He spoke as if he had sorted things out in his head.

“John. “Can you tell me in detail what happened?”

“Of course.”

I explained the whole story to Dern Dandanju. From the fact that he became a wreck due to taking drugs, to the fact that Adam and two executives were fighting over the position of owner of the merchant, to the fact that I rescued him from the black market hospital and brought him to Yeomyeonggwan.

Dern Sanjangju listened to my story to the end and looked shocked.

“So that’s what happened… “

Perhaps Adam’s betrayal was so shocking that he stared blankly at the window, unable to speak for a while. He drugged his son and he almost got murdered.

It is not strange to have regrets in life.

I stayed silent and waited for him to speak. It was a long time later that he spoke.

“What do you want me to do, John?”

A trembling voice, unable to escape the shock.

Are you asking for my opinion to understand my true intentions? I opened my mouth without hesitation.

“Do whatever you want.”

“…I have to go back to the top.”

“Are you going to settle the score?”

“Yes.”

“First, recover your body. If we go back to that, we will only be laughed at.”

“Haha, I see…”

He weakly smiled and looked up blankly at the ceiling.

“I never thought I would be stabbed in the back like this.”

“I think he showed some signs.”

“I didn’t notice it at all. No, maybe I didn’t want to notice. Adam gave me drugs. I still can’t believe it.”

He seemed to truly love his adoptive son. But why did Adam betray him?

“Dern. “Do you have any idea why Adam betrayed me?”

“…I can’t figure anything out. I adopted him from an orphanage and treated him like my own son. But…Why on earth…”

Unless you meet Adam and ask him directly, it will probably be difficult to find an answer to this question. I stood up.

“Get some rest. “If you want to regain your position, you have to work diligently.”

“Thank you. “I will definitely repay this favor.”

“Take care of your body first. If you don’t regain your position as the owner of the merchant, it will be even more of a headache.”

For me, there’s nothing to lose if the merchant’s owner changes…But how can I do that when I have affection for people. I have to help as much as I can.

“Haha, even though I’m like this, I’m a person who has been in the upper management position for decades. “You don’t have to worry.”

“Carina, or rather, the saintess, will come to check on your condition in a few hours, so she recommends taking a nap until then.”

“I’ve already slept for a while.”

“Grow up more.” “It’s important for patients to sleep until they get tired.”

“Haha. Let’s try.”

I opened the door and quietly went out.

——————–

“Lulu? Terry? Where are you?”

‘It’s lunch time, where have you gone?’

Sif, who returned to her dorm to have lunch with her younger siblings as usual, belatedly noticed that her younger siblings had disappeared. Where have her younger siblings, who would normally be hanging out at her dorm, gone?

Even though I searched all over the accommodation, there was no trace of the twins.

“…Maybe you forgot it while playing in a corner somewhere?”

Hope burns.

Sif wandered around inside her top, making wishful thoughts in her head. Her employees looked at her in confusion at her desperate expression, but she couldn’t afford to worry about that.

“Lulu! Terry! If you heard it, answer me!”

‘Did you go out?’

A thought suddenly occurred to Sif and she turned around and headed towards her office. She was eating and all, and there was no point in walking around the top if her siblings were out in some way.

“I hope I didn’t go to the slums…”

If she went to a slum and was kidnapped, her life or death could not be guaranteed. If you don’t pay her ransom, I will literally sell or kill her siblings.

Arriving at her office, she grabbed her outerwear and a small amount of money and headed to her front door. It was lunch time and she was planning on wandering around all day to find her younger siblings.

‘I’ll have to give you a harsh scolding when I get back. I told you not to go out like that!’

With that thought in mind, she reached the front gate.

“Sisyyyy!”

A sobbing voice drew Sif’s eyes beyond her front door. Sif was surprised to see Lulu’s appearance her beyond her her front door her her her, so she opened her front door and hugged her.

Lulu cried, mercilessly wetting Sif’s clothes with her swollen face.

“Lulu, what happened? How did you get outside?”

At Sif’s question, Lulu started crying and barely got out the words she had been trying to say all along.

“Terry has been captured!”
