### **Chapter 42**

**Gang**

Yuria, having gained momentum, started stepping on them one by one.

"Especially Ms. Yui. Should I say I knew from when you were excited about buying a car-yeees. If we have money to buy such an expensive car, we should prepare one more high-grade construction equipment-yeees. Have you already forgotten our plan-yeees? Or is a car just more important-yeees?"

"Keuheok..."

"Ms. Ajura... just don't try to pick anything-yeees. Because it seems you have no aesthetic sense-yeees."

"Too much-sumda..."

Having established the hierarchy once again, Yuria became triumphant and naturally stuck to Nogada.

Very closely.

But Nogada didn't notice because he was choosing colors.

Sloppy, sloppy.

At school and here too.

You are surprisingly sloppy, you.

"What are you doing-yeees? Are you picking a color-yeees?"

"As expected it's black."

"Black is good-yeees. Because we are masterminds-yeees."

"Didn't we decide to quit that?"

"Still isn't a mastermind cool-yeees?"

Nogada thought for a moment.

Construction Worker Union, Communication Impossible.

Wholesome and not fun.

Godfathers of gangs, Mastermind Communication Impossible.

Coolness passed.

"Let's be masterminds."

Naturally it was the latter.

Because Gao [swag] is a grave matter.

"Yees! Then as expected black?"

"No now it's white. Because we're masterminds."

"Performance is..."

"Design is not good but..."

With minor complaints from the two people, riding the somewhat plainly chosen car, the place they headed to was exactly...

"Let's work."

"Yees."

"Now it's gradually gotten better I mean-sumda. I, even if various incidents happen peace of mind finds me here-sumda."

"I will also soothe my bitter heart with construction-desu."

It was the construction site that had now become the hometown of their hearts.

Even if they chattered about masterminds or whatever, in the end they were construction retards.

"Good job!!"

"Good job-sumda!"

Seeing off the gang members walking away with greetings, they checked their current asset status.

"Bought it faster than I thought."

"Although we only worked all day today too-yeees, it's true we bought it fast-yeees."

"Money is earned fucking fast-sumda. If like this becoming a tycoon isn't a dream either-sumda."

"First do we call the Guide and buy equipment-desu?"

"Shouldn't we do that-yeees. Just in time Cooperation Impossible said they finished handing out rice cakes too-yeees. Good timing-yeees."

"A gang hands out rice cakes?"

"Right-yeees? Even if it's a gang ultimately they have to live together with citizens-yeees. Because protection fees are also a mutual promise-yeees."

Protection fees.

That thing we know is correct.

Usually divided into protection fees and tolls, it refers to the act of a gang taking a spot and controlling it.

This is done under the tacit connivance of the police, and they collect tolls at public workplaces such as fishing spots, construction sites, and mansion cleaning.

Because most public workplaces are a method of receiving orders from a specific office, it was a possible method.

Because they just have to block that place.

If refused?

From mugging, delivering knives, subtle absurdities, to the whispers of surroundings.

The gang starts tormenting the opponent using all the power they can use.

Because the toll is the gang's pride.

Since they suffer all sorts of things for not paying money once, most just pay.

Since they don't take as much as thought, people tended to consider it as a WWE cost.

They pay it with a feeling of making contact with the gang and having a short conversation.

Protection fees go further from there, making a deal targeting business entities.

I will protect the surroundings so give me money.

But this usually doesn't happen, for a business entity, a protection fee is literally WWE.

It was 100 percent pure WWE cost.

It was a cost paid to do a roleplay while having no use at all.

Why?

Because unlike ordinary citizens, each business entity is directly connected to the police.

Because if it's really dangerous they can just call the police.

Suddenly ruffians appear from somewhere and wreak havoc?

Police pop up immediately.

If the location of that havoc is an important business entity, meaning McDoria or a repair shop?

Probably a helicopter will pop up within 5 minutes.

So they visit first and check if they have thoughts about it.

What Yuria called handing out rice cakes was exactly the process of notifying this in advance.

Notifying in advance that they will collect tolls and asking if they have any thoughts of paying protection fees.

"What's that."

Nogada said as if losing steam.

"But it's not all like that I mean-sumda. I, there are also gangs who act like real gangs-sumda. There are many gangs who smile in front and stab in the back-sumda."

"Alienating from behind and colluding among themselves to dry out and kill citizens, or doing a public opinion war using the police then secretly killing citizens to even bury the police..."

"Going further from there, they intentionally cause inflation to wreck the economy I mean-sumda. To the point where bastards carrying knives around are safer I mean-sumda."

"..."

"Means there are brutal guys too indeed."

"Correct-sumda. Right away if you just don't pay tolls, a gang acting like a real gang will come out I mean-sumda. Just threatening holding a knife... But usually such gangs don't last long I mean-sumda."

"Right-yeees. Even calling it a gang it's at most 10 people, and there are clear enemies like rival gangs and police-yeees."

"Yeah? Does it mean the one who survives is strong eventually..."

"Yees. No matter how well you shoot guns and fight well, what wins eventually is connections-yeees. Speaking bluntly, if you act too tyrannical usually, even if a situation to shoot guns and fight arises, no one calls you-yeees."

"Gang is difficult too. Many places to read the room."

"Yees. So surprisingly it's unpopular too-yeees. Because it's so busy-yeees."

"Gangs have to work hard too-desu. Guns and ammo are not ordinarily expensive I mean-sumda."

"Right-desu. Probably will be the busiest excluding police-desu."

"There are business entities too though-yeees."

"But for business entities, it varies greatly depending on the person I mean-sumda. But gangs are mostly busy-sumda."

"That is true words-yeees."

When everyone was immersed in talking about gangs like that, Nogada opened his mouth.

"Felt this from before but why in such detail..."

"Learned from Mr. Kwak Du-pal-yeees."

"There is a Yakuza among people I know-desu."

"I, am from special forces I mean-sumda."

At the macro answers that came out as soon as he brought it up, Eating Bear suppressed his laughter and answered.

"Haven't even finished speaking yet."
