Serves Him Right
Choi Min-su stood before Yeon Un-jae.
"I think that's enough for today."
"...Fine. We've got all the time in the world."
"It was a pleasure today. I'll be in touch."
Yeon Un-jae's face twisted in fury, and Choi Min-su grabbed Kim Jun and strode out of Daechunjae.
The Hummer pulled out of the parking lot and headed straight for the hospital.
Go Cheolmin, who'd gotten the call from Choi Min-su, was already en route with the guild doctor.
As he drove, Choi Min-su suddenly burst out laughing. Everything he'd held back inside Yeon Ga came flooding out at once.
"That old bastard... He's gonna spend the whole night staring at the ceiling. Hahaha, serves him right."
Choi Min-su reveled in it for a good while before sensing a steady gaze fixed on him from the passenger seat.
"You did damn good today."
He said it sternly, on purpose.
"Nah, it was nothing. I'm just grateful for the chance."
"What the hell was that skill? The one where you go upside down on your hands and kick with your feet."
"That? Well, actually..."
Kim Jun explained how he'd learned Mokhonbo from Go Cheolmin, focusing especially on the inner power circulation of Tan, and gotten lucky enough to master the Yeon O-su technique.
Choi Min-su reached over and ruffled Kim Jun's hair roughly, messing it up completely. This kid... the more I see him, the more I like him.
The hospital building came into view.
He pulled into an empty spot in the lot, killed the engine, but didn't get out. Instead, he turned to Kim Jun with a serious gaze, all traces of playfulness gone.
"I didn't start this mess just for you. So whatever happens next, don't think it's your fault. This is the shit from a world you haven't seen yet. Just worry about yourself."
"Got it. I'll do that. More importantly, any luck restoring that phone?"
It was a question that had just popped into his head.
Yeon Mu-jin was currently wanted as the prime suspect in Choi Muhyun's kidnapping.
The phone held footage that could clear his name, but the explosion had wrecked it badly. Choi Min-su had handed it off to a restoration expert.
"We got lucky. That's what let us kick off this little war."
Choi Min-su grinned and added,
"Let's go."
