Absolute Regression Chapter 472

“You want half?”

Geumcheonbang couldn’t hide his surprise. It was an unreasonable request, just as unreasonable as his own request.

“In these cases, they usually do the work for a fee, and even if they give a lot of money, they do the work for this fee.”

“I guess that would be the case with any normal opponent.”

Rather, the sword dance went a step further.

“In fact, it would be beneficial for the lord to give everything.”

“What kind of nonsense is that?”

Then Geommugeuk raised his voice and spoke powerfully.

“If you do business with the Golden Dragon Family, you must pay back the money.”

Words that felt good just hearing them resonated throughout the room.

“I can never steal the money of the Golden Dragon Family.”

When I think about the money I didn’t receive for various reasons, I wonder how great it would be if things could be as I said. Just thinking about it brings a smile to my face.

With such pleasant words to catch his attention, Geumcheonbang naturally listened to what he said next.

“What about this rumor? Even Baekseonbang paid off the money.”

What can I say? It’s a damn rumor.

“If that happens, no one will ever think of stealing money from the Geumryongsega family again.”

Geommugeuk looked into Geumcheonbang’s eyes and asked.

“How much do you think it is worth?”

Even Geumcheonbang, who was quick at calculating, had a hard time answering. If you think about the present and even the future, it cannot be converted into money.

“I guess that all applies when you get money from them?”

Geommugeuk answered Geumcheonbang’s words with a look of confidence.

“I will receive it and take only half of that money.”

Even though ‘half’ became ‘only half’, Geumcheonbang didn’t feel any discomfort at all.

It even added some color to it.

“I made this concession out of consideration for your daughter.”

Curiosity flashed through Geumcheonbang’s eyes. He thought, “This is quite a trick.” Yes, this is how you should deal with someone. Be brazenly curious and persuasive.

‘Yeah, the owner of the Milky Way wouldn’t have gone out and met just anyone.’

Maybe? I thought for a moment that I might get my money back.

But soon I thought that that couldn’t be the case.

I know a lot about Baekseonbang.

When most people think of them, they usually think of them as cruel, emotional, and arrogant. They are ignorant people who can’t communicate with each other.

At first, I thought that Geumcheonbang was like that too. But now I know. The person leading them is a smart person. Their revenge and legal robbery are all the result of thorough calculation.

‘Do you think you can deal with that difficult person?’

Even though he is no match for him, he still seems curious, so it seems that the young man is showing an impressive performance. It is hard to see this kind of passion these days.

“What if I don’t get it?”

I expected him to return the two million nyang he received from his daughter.

“If I can’t receive it, then I can’t receive it. How can I easily receive money that even my lord can’t receive?”

Geumcheonbang couldn’t say anything in rebuttal when he was dragged in and told. He was impressed by Geommugeuk’s response.

“Would you like half?”

It’s money I wasn’t supposed to receive anyway. If I could get even 1.5 million nyang out of 3 million nyang, it would be a gain.

Besides, if you really get it, you’ll gain a reputation that’s more valuable than money, as Iza said earlier.

‘What if I fail?’

Baekseonbang will probably just take care of it and send him back. Since he owes Geumryongseaga a debt, they won’t make a big deal out of it.

If we can break this guy’s spirit, it will be easy to recover the two million nyang in the future.

That’s how Geumcheonbang’s calculations were completed.

“Okay, I’ll give you half.”

Geum A-rin, who had been watching, couldn’t stand it anymore and intervened.

“No!”

He didn’t want to come forward because he knew his father was angry with him, but if he didn’t stop him now, it would be too late later.

“Are you making this promise knowing how dangerous this is?”

Then Geommugeuk looked at her and spoke calmly.

“Do you know how much money two million nyang is? And you also know that one and a half million nyang is a lot of money. If you want to make a lot of money, you have to take risks, right?”

Geumcheonbang liked that saying. He hated people who tried to make money without paying anything. If you want to make a lot of money, you have to take on a lot of risks.

The gaze of the sword dance moved from Geum A-rin to Geumcheonbang.

“As expected, if you want to make money, you have to jump into the trading world. As soon as you get there, money pours in.”

Geumcheonbang also responded to the leisure of the Geommugeuk with leisure.

“We’ll have to wait and see whether there will be money or blood.”

The two men faced each other. What could have been a first meeting as a scouting expedition turned into a big promise.

“Then I will come and see you when I get the money.”

As Geommugeuk was politely greeting and leaving, Geum Arin spoke.

“Please wait outside for a moment. I have something to talk to my father about.”

“Let’s do that.”

As Geommugeuk left Gajujeon, only Geumcheonbang and Geum Arin remained there.

Geumcheonbang guessed what his daughter was going to say.

“You know that he could never do it, right? And yet you’re making me do this as a punishment. That’s too much.”

Geumcheonbang reacted coldly.

“You are the one who is going too far.”

“What are you talking about?”

“It means that you have come back to your hometown with a bad feeling.”

“The Galactic Alliance tried to lure them into attacking my organization. I couldn’t just stand by and watch.”

Strictly speaking, it is a matter of life and death.

Your daughter’s life is at stake, and you’re getting upset over money!

I really tried to hold back the words that were rising to the tip of my tongue. I had made a mistake by spending two million nyang without permission.

“When I found out about that, I should have gone straight back to Sega and discussed it with my father.”

Geum A-rin also had something to say about him.

“Then the older brothers will find fault with that. They say that she can’t handle her own affairs and hides in her father’s arms.”

“Still, it was reckless. What if the author is a swindler planted by the Galactic Empire on us?”

“Is there a work of art this loud in the world?”

Geumcheonbang said nothing more.

Geum A-rin left the place after saying her last words.

“It’s not a curse, it’s a blessing. But you threw that blessing into the gutter.”

Geum A-rin went out to the family festival.

She felt suffocated. She was in Baekseonbang, of all places.

The sword dance was waiting for her outside the building.

“Are you really going to do this?”

Geommugeuk nodded and started walking. The two walked side by side and talked.

“Do you know what kind of place Baekseonbang is?”

“What kind of place is it?”

Geum A-rin described them as if she knew this would happen to her, something she didn’t even want to think about.

“It’s a place where human scum gathers. These scum aren’t the village scumbags, but flying and crawling masters. In particular, Ark, who leads them, is known as a peerless master.”

The sword dance simply walked on without saying a word.

“That’s not all. What’s really scary about them is that when one person dies, the rest will gather and take revenge. They are cruel people who kill their friends and even their families.”

That extensive revenge was the biggest reason why Baek Seon-bang became a symbol of fear. At the same time, it was also the reason why he deserved to die.

“How did such people survive until now? Did the Murim Alliance just leave them alone?”

“Because they never leave evidence. If someone leaves evidence, I heard they eliminate them and cut off their tail. In the end, all that happens is rumors about them spread.”

In the life before the return, Baek Seon Bang was eventually subdued by the Murim Alliance. The Murim Alliance found evidence of their evil deeds and attacked them, and they fiercely resisted until they were completely destroyed. It is known that many of the Murim Alliance’s masters were injured or killed in the process.

Seeing Baek Seon-bang and I forming a relationship in this life, I could feel once again that those who must die will die.

“Did you hear what I said? They even kill innocent families.”

“My family is okay.”

Geommugeuk added with a smile.

“It’s so good, it’s crazy.”

Geum A-rin knew where that confidence came from.

“I know you trust your father, but… … .”

She walked silently for a while, then made a big decision.

“Okay, then I’ll go too.”

It was a big decision that risked her life, but she was rejected outright.

“Do you want to extort more money from them?”

“What do you mean?”

“If you come to visit, will you just stay? I will somehow pick a fight, catch you, and demand money from your father to go find your daughter.”

And yet, there were still those who could not refute it.

“Then what about you? Are you okay?”

“I’m fine. My father won’t give me a penny.”

In this situation, how could you be joking? She thought that Geommu-geuk was being too relaxed. Then, it would be good if he could calmly explain what he was thinking, but Geommu-geuk was heading in a different direction than it should have been.

“Where are you going? The guest room is this way.”

“I have somewhere to go. See you later.”

Geum A-rin let out a sigh she had been holding back as she looked at the back of Geommu-geuk, who was walking briskly. Now I understand. Why did that person say that?

How much can you trust me?

How far are you going to make me worry?

* * *

That night, Geum A-rin came to Geommu-geuk’s place.

It was late, but Geommugeuk was awake.

“Did I disturb your sleep?”

“Okay, come in. We’re busy at night.”

“yes?”

The sword dance simply smiled in an unknown manner.

Geum A-rin came inside. Judging from the bottle of alcohol on the table, it seems she was drinking.

“Would you like a drink?”

“please.”

She was the kind of girl who would make you think of alcohol all of a sudden.

I never dreamed that I would return to Sega and experience something like this.

“Have you contacted your father and uncle?”

“What kind of contact do you mean?”

“It’s about the Baekseonbang. I should tell you about it.”

She asked, with a hopeful heart.

“You’re not thinking of going alone, are you?”

I thought it would be dangerous for the three of them to go together.

“I’m going alone.”

Geum A-rin was startled. Looking at Geommu-geuk’s calm eyes, she could tell that it wasn’t a joke.

After downing the drink she had been given, she put down her empty glass with a clank.

“It’s a two million nyang drinking party.”

It was a joke that this was the last time I would see him. It was a joke, but it wasn’t a joke.

“Okay, let’s say you’re a master swordsman I don’t know about.”

That could be the case. He killed Jeon Nak and made the money bugs so obedient.

“No matter what, you have to come up with a plan. There are a hundred people against you. Which one of them should you go to first? What should you say to them when you get there? What should you do if they don’t give you the money? No, they definitely won’t give you the money, so you have to think about how to respond in advance.”

“It’s being set up.”

“Or at least find the opponent’s weakness, huh? What did you say?”

“I was planning an operation.”

Only then did her eyes catch sight of the papers piled up on the table. On the very top piece of paper was the word “Baekseonbang.”

“What is this?”

“This is information about Baekseonbang.”

“Where did you come from?”

“I bought it from an information dealer.”

In fact, this information was received through Eunwol. Eunwol Seomseojidan had naturally been investigating the Baekseonbang, an organization of interest here.

“When?”

“I went out and bought it earlier.”

“Can I look at it?”

As Geommugeuk nodded, Geum Arin looked at the materials.

It was really about them. Who the ark is, what martial arts they have, who are their subordinates, how much they trust each other, what their personalities are, what their jobs are, and what evil deeds each of them has committed. It was all written down.

That wasn’t all. It was also written in detail how much money they borrowed from which top, how much they stole, and what kind of business they were running with that money. They were intervening in all sorts of vested interests and making huge profits.

“They sell such detailed information on the information platform.”

“If you have money, there is no information you cannot get.”

She was embarrassed. She came to the person who was preparing like this and told him to come up with a plan just with words. If she was really worried, she should have bought this information and given it to him. She was not an inactive intellectual, but a inactive worrier.

“So, have you come up with a plan?”

“I set it up.”

No one can match this refreshing answer.

“Please tell me.”

“It’s a secret.”

Seeing this made me have false hopes that he might really take the money.

“Instead, I have a favor to ask of you.”

“What is it?”

That request was truly unexpected.

“Go to the top and sect listed there and tell them that you will collect the money owed to Baekseonbang. In return, tell them that you will receive half of it as a service fee.”

“What did you say?”

Geum A-rin was so surprised that she jumped up from her seat. People really do jump up when they are so surprised.

“I think it would be more trustworthy if you went than if I went.”

Geum A-rin was at a loss for words. In the meantime, Geommu-geuk continued speaking.

“I could take all their money. But this is a better way. You get the reputation of finding their money, and they get their money back. I get half the profit.”

The sword dance drama hinted that, at least for her, this work had a different meaning.

“This will play a big role in your becoming the successor. Your reputation in Shaanxi will rise greatly.”

Geum A-rin could tell that the sword dance was sincere.

“You really want to get all that money, don’t you?”

You’re saying you’re going to get it all? All the money from those who were scammed by Baek Seon-bang?

“Yes. I will accept money from anyone who wants it.”

“It’s impossible to even get our money back… … .”

Suddenly, a thought struck her mind like a bolt from the blue.

“You really?”

It was the most surprising moment since I met Geommugeuk.

“I plan on killing them all.”
