“Ugh...”
Excruciating pain slowly dragged his consciousness back, only for the agony to sharpen even further as awareness returned.
Every bone in his body felt shattered. There wasn't a single uninjured spot left.
He'd been beaten far too savagely.
Even if they rushed him to a hospital right now, he doubted he'd pull through.
Not that those bastards would ever let him go there.
Clang! Screech!
Suddenly, the iron door flew open with a harsh grind, lights blazed on, and heavy footsteps echoed down the stairs.
Then that bastard's voice rang in his one ear that still somewhat worked—his left.
“Oh man! You've gone and beaten him into a total fucking vegetable? Hey, what if he croaks like this? Why'd you have to hit him so goddamn hard?”
Despite practically growing up under the same roof his whole life, he'd never gotten used to the guy's crude way of talking.
For a man who was a conglomerate chairman no less, his vocabulary and speech were dirt cheap.
True to form, he was kicking things off with his usual sarcasm.
“Beating him without killing him takes skill too, Chairman.”
“Hahaha! Damn right. That's why I like you, Manager Kim.”
“Thank you, Chairman.”
“Anyway, you coming around at all? Kang Hyeok?”
“Ugh... you son of a bitch...”
He tried forcing open his swollen-shut eyes, but they were too puffy to make anything out.
“Hey now! Son of a bitch? What kinda talk is that between friends?”
“Urk! Friends? When the hell were we friends? Haven't I always been your house servant?”
“That's right! You get it! Hahaha!”
The bastard doubled over, clutching his gut like he might die laughing.
After carrying on like that for a good while, he sobered up as always, his voice dropping low and serious as he leaned in.
“Yeah, you're the house servant. Your dead old man was our family's house servant too, remember?”
“...”
It was true.
Following in his father's footsteps, he was the second generation serving as house servant to these bastards.
