| Chapter 82

Mo Cheol-dong arrived at the lodging and boldly threw open the door.

“Team Leader Weon!”

“Wh-what!”

Having apparently washed up at some point, Weon Il-chu was comfortably dressed and enjoying tea. Seeing Weon Il-chu like this, not only Mo Cheol-dong but also the people who followed him in later wore expressions of disbelief.

Unlike their own exhausted, dirt-covered appearance, Weon Il-chu looked far too comfortable.

“What? Don’t tell me you’re already finished cleaning up?”

Confirming that the newcomers were Mo Cheol-dong’s group, Weon Il-chu arrogantly smiled as if he had never been surprised and spoke loudly as usual. At this, Mo Cheol-dong pointed accusingly at him.

“Look here, isn’t this going too far?”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

Weon Il-chu replied with a shameless face. If he had been someone with a guilty conscience, this situation wouldn’t have occurred in the first place. As everyone was speechless with absurdity, Weon Il-chu snorted.

“If you have complaints, discuss them formally later. Right now we need to handle more urgent matters first, right? As you can see, I’m quite busy.”

Saying this, Weon Il-chu wiped his wet hair with a fluffy towel. Unable to bear it any longer, Mo Cheol-dong raised his voice once more.

“Are you really going to be like this? A person should have some conscience! You should take responsibility for what you’ve caused until the end!”

When Mo Cheol-dong, who had been speechless, opened his mouth again, all the words he had been holding back poured out like a waterfall. Behind him stood as many as ten people in a line. With each word Mo Cheol-dong spoke, they nodded their heads, clearly feeling inwardly refreshed.

At the complaints filling the room, Weon Il-chu waved his hand dismissively as if telling them to stop.

“Fine. Since it’s been such a day, I’ll talk to the higher-ups about whether we can give you a bit more daily wages. Will that do?”

At this unexpected negotiation proposal, the workers’ murmuring grew louder as if wondering what windfall this was. Yoo Eun-hyun, who had been quietly observing the situation, narrowed his eyes.

‘They’re falling for such manipulation? He’s not even promising anything definite, just saying he’ll discuss it. What if they say no? No, would that bastard even bother to discuss it in the first place?’

Probably the Weon Il-chu that Yoo Eun-hyun had observed so far wouldn’t even discuss it. And even if he did discuss it and managed to get money, it was obvious that he would pocket most of it himself.

After some consideration, Yoo Eun-hyun approached Mo Cheol-dong and whispered a few words in his ear.

“You… are you serious?”

Perhaps surprised by the unexpected clever move, Mo Cheol-dong looked at Yoo Eun-hyun. At Yoo Eun-hyun’s small nod, he turned his head back and shouted to everyone.

“Don’t you all know Team Leader Weon yet! He’s all smooth talk and will just brush this off again! We need to set things straight this time!”

At Mo Cheol-dong’s shout, the workers’ murmuring suddenly decreased. Not missing this opportunity, Mo Cheol-dong raised his voice once more.

“So everyone needs to band together and testify about his misconduct! If everyone gives consistent testimony, Heukryeon Trading Company will listen to us too!”

“Is, is that really true?”

Hearing this far, people now seemed to find Mo Cheol-dong’s words plausible and the commotion briefly stopped as they appeared to agree. Confirming the change in reaction, Weon Il-chu’s face immediately contorted.

“Mo, Mo Cheol-dong, you bastard…!”

In fact, this situation was troublesome for Weon Il-chu’s side. The higher-ups wouldn’t welcome such group movements. Especially since this place wasn’t run by Jeongdo principles, but by Mado where the logic of power dominated. If problems arose, not only could he not preserve his position, but even his life couldn’t be carelessly guaranteed.

“Ah, I understand. If you have demands, tell me. I’ll grant everything I can grant.”

In the end, Weon Il-chu took a step back. When Weon Il-chu unexpectedly showed weakness, Mo Cheol-dong’s eyes widened in surprise.

“However, before that, only a few representatives should remain and the rest should return to the work site. If work doesn’t proceed properly, Heukryeon Trading Company will find it strange too.”

“We’ll do that.”

When Weon Il-chu stepped back, Mo Cheol-dong also made a concession. Just as Yoo Eun-hyun thought the situation was concluded and was about to turn around voluntarily, Mo Cheol-dong sent him a silent look. His eyes contained a desire for Yoo Eun-hyun to stay.

However, Yoo Eun-hyun deliberately avoided Mo Cheol-dong’s gaze and stepped outside. Thus, only Mo Cheol-dong and three senior workers remained, while the rest opened the door and left.

“Will it be okay?”

“Come on, of course! It’s Mo Cheol-dong!”

Among those who came out, several still seemed anxious and restless. Meanwhile, a few pressed their ears to the door as if curious about what would happen. Watching them, Yoo Eun-hyun quietly crossed his arms.

‘Now they’ll handle things well on their own. They’ve had many grievances, so even getting just a portion would be fortunate.’

As Yoo Eun-hyun was pacing outside with only the final negotiation remaining.

“Aaaaah!”

A loud noise came from inside along with a scream. Immediately throwing aside all unnecessary thoughts, Yoo Eun-hyun rushed toward the door.

Yoo Eun-hyun brushed past those who had stepped back in shock and flung open the door.

“Hey there! Cheol-dong! Get a hold of yourself! Come to your senses!”

Inside was chaos with furniture scattered everywhere.

However, what stood out most was Mo Cheol-dong’s figure collapsed with his head covered in blood. Though some were holding him, trying to stop the bleeding while desperately calling to him, Mo Cheol-dong didn’t move an inch.

After lightly catching his breath, Yoo Eun-hyun turned his gaze to look at the opposite side.

“I, I didn’t do it on purpose. That bastard came at me first…!”

Where Yoo Eun-hyun’s gaze reached, there was Weon Il-chu, who appeared to be the culprit who had struck down Mo Cheol-dong. He was trembling like a leaf in the corner of the room, and in his hand was a hammer stained with blood. It seemed to be Mo Cheol-dong’s blood.

“What exactly happened here?”

Though he could guess what had happened at a glance, he needed to confirm more clearly. As he approached Mo Cheol-dong and asked, the person who had been stopping the bleeding pointed at Weon Il-chu as if he had been waiting and furiously scolded him.

“That bastard is the culprit! That bastard struck Cheol-dong with a hammer!”

“You mean he just struck him out of nowhere?”

“They were discussing conditions when there was a bit of an argument. As voices got louder, then…”

Yoo Eun-hyun slightly circulated his internal energy to examine Mo Cheol-dong’s physical condition. It seemed he wasn’t dead, but had briefly fainted from a strong impact to his head.

‘The problem isn’t the head.’

Though attention was focused on his head, examining his whole body revealed that his right leg was severely twisted. It seemed the joint had been twisted when he hit something while collapsing unconscious. If immediate action wasn’t taken, it appeared he would have difficulty not only with farm work but even walking.

Yoo Eun-hyun was about to tear his own clothes to secure the leg, but instead tore Weon Il-chu’s clothes to use. Though not clean, it seemed better than his own dirt-covered clothes. When he infused some internal energy, Mo Cheol-dong let out a pained groan.

“Ugh…”

“Cheol-dong! Are you okay?”

Though he still hadn’t regained consciousness, once it was confirmed he wasn’t dead, those watching carried Mo Cheol-dong on their backs and immediately went outside. When the situation was somewhat settled, Yoo Eun-hyun spoke quietly.

“I’d like to hear the team leader’s side of what happened.”

Yoo Eun-hyun turned his body to look at Weon Il-chu. At this, Weon Il-chu opened his mouth as if he had been waiting.

“That bastard attacked me first! I did nothing wrong!”

In reality, it was Mo Cheol-dong who couldn’t contain his anger.

Taking advantage of the reduced number of people, he couldn’t tolerate Weon Il-chu’s shameless attitude as he tried to seize control. In that process, Weon Il-chu had also swung the hammer intending to threaten, and it had ended up hitting Mo Cheol-dong.

“Of course you would say that. Sigh… If I had known this would happen, I should have stayed.”

If Yoo Eun-hyun had been there, this incident wouldn’t have occurred. However, regretting what had already happened was useless. He glared at Weon Il-chu once, then tried to quietly leave. In any case, Mo Cheol-dong’s safety was the priority.

But Weon Il-chu called out to stop Yoo Eun-hyun.

“Wait. You’re not thinking of ending it like this, are you?”

At Weon Il-chu’s words, Yoo Eun-hyun’s steps stopped.

When he slowly turned his head to look at him, Weon Il-chu spoke with a vile smile on his lips.

“How dare you try to threaten me… I will definitely hold you responsible and dismiss your entire gang! Do you think that’s all? I’ll make sure you can’t even set foot on Cheonghae land!”

Though the accident had halted negotiations, seeing Weon Il-chu go this far, Yoo Eun-hyun was dumbfounded. Even though someone had been injured by the weapon he had swung, his shameless behavior in spouting such vile words felt unbearable.

“Dismissal… Fine.”

As Yoo Eun-hyun slowly walked forward with a hardened face, Weon Il-chu, who had been inwardly celebrating, began to panic. As Yoo Eun-hyun approached, Weon Il-chu felt the illusion that this young man who had seemed like a mere novice was gradually growing larger. Though a person couldn’t suddenly grow larger, to his eyes it looked like a monster was approaching.

“Don’t come closer!”

Panicked, Weon Il-chu swung the blood-stained hammer in a defensive reflex, but the hammer had already disappeared from his hand.

“Huh, what?”

Seeing the hammer in Yoo Eun-hyun’s hand, Weon Il-chu couldn’t understand the situation at all. Meanwhile, Yoo Eun-hyun had approached right up to him and lifted the seized hammer with both hands.

“However, I must receive at least part of the wages for the work I’ve done, as I’ve been wronged.”

When he clenched both hands, the iron hammer cracked and crumbled into scattered pieces.

“Eek!”

Looking down at Weon Il-chu who had collapsed and was trembling, Yoo Eun-hyun smiled coldly and spoke quietly.

“I’ll leave the accounting to you, team leader. Of course, I trust you’ll do very, very well.”
