Chapter 21. The Real Gangster

“Run until you’re dead, you bastard!”

A massive man covered in full-body tattoos ripped off his shirt and bellowed at a panting pit bull.

“Look at that belly dragging! Can’t you run any faster? If you don’t win tomorrow, you’re getting sold for meat.”

A pit bull covered in wounds ran on the Treadmill with a Choke Chain around its neck, gasping for breath.

“Deok Gu, starve him starting today! When his ribs show through his skin, he’ll tear into anything to survive.”
“Yes, boss! How much money is riding on this one?”
“A billion won. A billion!”

The subordinate nodded, chuckling.
Thick cigarette smoke crawled along the damp office walls, spreading with a humid stain.

“Bite! That’s it! Tear it apart!”

The roar of frenzied voices filled the Abandoned Warehouse, threatening to split eardrums.
It was an illegal dogfighting ring.

Inside the metal cages, a dozen or more pit bulls waited their turn.

As the pit bull latched onto its opponent’s throat, money-blind gamblers waved stacks of bills in delirium.

That’s when it happened.

Screech—

A sickening metallic shriek echoed as blue-white fluorescent lights swayed and concrete debris began to rain down.

The rusted iron frame of the makeshift structure tilted to one side, and the plywood ceiling, haphazardly woven together, collapsed in on itself with a roar.

“W-wait, the ceiling is—”

No one had time to scream.

Crash—

The decrepit warehouse came down in seconds, swallowed by darkness and dust.

In the chaos of screams, one dog bolted frantically from the ring.

It clamped its teeth around the pant leg of a man pinned under the Rebar and dragged him desperately toward freedom. Then it collapsed beside him, its task complete.

The real gangster?

At Tae Heon’s flat remark, A Gang’s pace, which had been glancing around nervously, slowed.

Multiple ambulances and police cars lined the entrance of the Trauma Center, their emergency lights flashing.

Could it be… did I bring this on by eating that rice cake?

A Gang’s mouth fell open.
He couldn’t understand why patients always materialized like ghosts whenever he accidentally broke a rule.

Tae Heon scanned the situation with cold eyes and quickly moved into the center.

“Doctor, I’m coming with you!”

Well, today’s going to be another spectacular disaster.

A Gang clenched his fists and hurried after Tae Heon.

The men arriving on stretchers were clearly unsavory characters.
No, could two words—’unsavory’—even capture everything before his eyes?

Dragons, tigers, carp, goblins.
The massive men, covered in garish and menacing tattoos, were broadcasting their gangster status from every pore of their bodies.

Mistaking Tae Heon for a gangster at first sight had been a cute misunderstanding.
Now, the real thing had arrived.

“Doctor! The 38-year-old male patient just admitted has stable vitals. He sustained a six-centimeter laceration to the face from Rebar during the collapse—it’s already been irrigated and dressed in the ambulance. We suspect a Hip Dislocation from being pinned by the Rebar.”

Nurse Jung reported breathlessly, following behind Tae Heon.

Hip Dislocation?
A Gang’s eyes widened.

A Hip Dislocation meant the femoral head had completely slipped out of the joint socket in the pelvis.

Without immediate treatment, not only could the bone die from lack of blood supply—Avascular Necrosis—but nerve damage could follow.

In orthopedics, it ranked alongside Open Fracture as one of the worst emergency cases.

“Oh God, I’m dying, I’m dead.”

The massive man wailed about the pain.

Creak-creak.

Every time he thrashed, the wheels under the weight groaned and swayed side to side.

“Should we try a Reduction right here?”
“Ugh, just the two of us? We’d need someone strong to hold him down…”

“Right! Word is we got a new ace first-year resident. Should I call him?”
“Call anyone—now!”
“On it!”

A Gang’s eyes went round at the unexpected face.

“Hip dislo—what? Reduction? Come on, explain it simply!”

Tae Heon continued in an unmoved tone, not blinking once.

“So you’re saying my leg is going to rot. Right now?”

“So if I’m the unlucky one, it’s a hundred percent, right?”
“That’s correct.”
“Ahhhhh! I can’t live without one leg!”

“No, no, no! Don’t believe in me. Don’t call me sir! Please, put me under. Put me to sleep. Please anesthetize me.”
“This procedure is quick, so anesthesia isn’t necessary. Recovery will be faster without it.”
“No, no! I’m scared, doctor! I’m scared!”

“Yes!”

“There. Now we just slot it back in. Relax.”
“Doctor, please save me!!!”

But Tae Heon, without so much as a blink, calmly returned the dislocated joint to its place.
