| Chapter 83

“Did I go too far?”

After intimidatingly showing off to Weon Il-chu, Yoo Eun-hyun dusted off his hands and left the room. He had only intended to scare him, but somehow Weon Il-chu’s last words had twisted his mood and made him commit an unnecessary act. Though it was disappointing that he couldn’t even land a proper hit before the man fainted, he decided to be satisfied with this much.

“Still, it feels refreshing. Damn bastard.”

In truth, even though he hadn’t said anything, Yoo Eun-hyun had been annoyed with Weon Il-chu. The way he slacked off without giving proper instructions had been an eyesore, so it was understandable.

“You! Are you alright?”

“That bastard didn’t harm you, did he?”

Seeing Yoo Eun-hyun return late, people asked in surprise. Yoo Eun-hyun smiled and shook his head.

“I’m fine. How is Brother Cheol-dong doing?”

“Ugh… I’m alright.”

Whether Yoo Eun-hyun’s treatment had some effect, Mo Cheol-dong lay still and waved his arms around. Though he was still frowning deeply, his consciousness had completely returned.

“The wound isn’t serious, but my head is pounding like hell. More than that…”

As he was speaking, Mo Cheol-dong frowned again as if his head hurt. Yoo Eun-hyun naturally glanced at his legs.

“Can you move?”

“It seems impossible right now. Damn it…”

Mo Cheol-dong rubbed his leg once and frowned as pain washed over him. Though the workers had applied a splint as treatment, his leg was visibly swollen. To fully recover, he would need to rest without moving for at least three days.

“Th-then what happens to us now?”

As Mo Cheol-dong seemed to regain his senses, the next problem loomed before everyone. Though they had come to protest an injustice, it was essentially the same as abandoning their work, so it was natural to worry about the consequences.

Subtle tension and anxiety appeared on everyone’s faces.

“Since we’ve escalated things this far against Team Leader Weon, it won’t just pass quietly.”

The most senior, Kang Sam-dong, muttered as if the situation was serious. Indeed, while things might have been settled at Weon Il-chu’s level until now, with both men in this state, Heukryeon Trading Company would surely step in.

“Tomorrow is worrying…”

Mo Cheol-dong’s quiet sigh spread evenly on the wind.

*

The next day, early morning before dawn had fully broken. The workers woke up one by one to the bustling sounds coming from outside.

“Everyone come outside!”

At the harsh command from early morning, the workers hastily put on their clothes and went outside. Outside, Heukryeon Trading Company employees were lined up in formation. The workers, who had stumbled out half-asleep, fell silent at the unfamiliar sight.

Then, the Heukryeon Trading Company employee who had guided Yoo Eun-hyun’s group here on the first day spoke up.

“I am Byeon Ak, a manager from Heukryeon Trading Company. I heard there was an unpleasant incident with Team Leader Weon here yesterday. Where are the parties involved?”

His booming voice was enough to send chills down the observers’ spines. Initially, Byeon Ak had seemed too bothered to even give his name, but unlike usual, his serious expression suggested this matter wouldn’t be easily overlooked.

“Here.”

Mo Cheol-dong, who had walked out with difficulty while leaning on someone else, raised his hand. Then Byeon Ak glanced back and forth between the nearby Weon Il-chu and him. But this was brief, as he immediately got to the point.

“Explain the situation.”

Though he had probably already heard the general situation from Weon Il-chu, he seemed to be listening to Mo Cheol-dong’s statement for cross-verification. Mo Cheol-dong wasn’t the type to deceive anyone either, so though it was somewhat fragmented, he honestly revealed what had happened yesterday.

“Hmm… It matches up to some extent.”

Byeon Ak nodded repeatedly while listening to Mo Cheol-dong’s words. Regardless of how Weon Il-chu had manipulated his statement, Byeon Ak seemed focused solely on fact-finding. After hearing the entire story, Byeon Ak cleared his throat.

“Good. Making you work when it was raining yesterday was certainly our responsibility. Since only this team worked while other teams didn’t move, we’ll pay double the daily wage.”

“R-really?! Thank you!”

Mo Cheol-dong nodded with a bewildered expression. The others also looked pleased, as if this was unexpected. They thought it was good that they had spoken up.

However, Yoo Eun-hyun noticed Weon Il-chu glancing at him with a meaningful smile, sensing he was calculating something else.

“And next. There was a fight related to this incident. According to the explanation, Team Leader Weon Il-chu was negligent despite the urgent situation, and this happened while protesting. Is that correct?”

“That’s correct.”

“Good. If Team Leader Weon Il-chu’s negligence is true, we must hold him accountable.”

Byeon Ak nodded as if it were a habit. Mo Cheol-dong and his group hadn’t expected Heukryeon Trading Company to judge the situation so fairly, so relief and joy showed on their faces.

‘If the negligence is true… How are they planning to prove that crucial negligence?’

Yoo Eun-hyun’s feelings were complicated. If Weon Il-chu denied the facts, there would be no evidence, so the judgment rested with Byeon Ak. Though he couldn’t be certain whose side he would take, it seemed likely he would dare to side with Weon Il-chu.

“Team Leader Weon Il-chu, were you really negligent?”

At Byeon Ak’s question, some of those who had been cheerful suddenly stiffened. This was because there would be no way to prove it if Weon Il-chu denied it. Weon Il-chu cleared his throat and began speaking shamelessly.

“Those who know nothing might see it as negligence. But I was never negligent.”

Hiding his usual arrogance, Weon Il-chu defended himself with a sincere and kind attitude.

“If it wasn’t negligence, was there another reason?”

“Of course. There was another very important matter, so I couldn’t help with the work.”

The surroundings fell silent for a moment at those words. Another very important matter. This was something the workers had never even heard of. When the workers couldn’t hide their puzzled expressions, Byeon Ak questioned Weon Il-chu again.

“The most important task we assigned to Team Leader Weon Il-chu is managing the fields here. Can you explain what was so important that you would abandon that?”

“Yes. The mission from the trading company includes not only leading the team members and managing the fields, but also controlling and managing the team members.”

Yoo Eun-hyun glanced at Weon Il-chu and judged inwardly. From that look alone, he could already guess how the situation would unfold.

“Management? Are you saying there’s a problem with one of the team members?”

When Byeon Ak suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked back, Weon Il-chu answered as if he had been waiting for this.

“There seems to be a spy among the team members who entered while hiding their identity.”

“A spy?”

Byeon Ak’s eyes widened momentarily and his expression hardened. If true, this was a serious matter that Heukryeon Trading Company would also be held accountable for. He glanced at the Maegyo Follower from Heukryeon Trading Company behind him. Since he had heard there was a dispute, he thought it was good that he had asked for help.

“Yes, that spy is right there.”

With Weon Il-chu’s pointing, Yoo Eun-hyun hid his flustered expression and spoke.

“M-me? I’m a spy?”

“You despicable bastard! Did you think you’d be safe after acting so boldly toward me yesterday?”

The momentum Yoo Eun-hyun had when threatening yesterday was nowhere to be found. Only Weon Il-chu was shouting, but in front of Byeon Ak and the Maegyo Follower, Yoo Eun-hyun was almost cowering in fear.

“Accusing someone without evidence! And after injuring Brother Cheol-dong too!”

Yoo Eun-hyun’s words appealing his innocence were convincing enough. Mo Cheol-dong and the others also began murmuring.

“You’re worse than a beast! To make fools of people like this!”

“After injuring Cheol-dong, he only cares about his own safety, even slandering others?”

At the murmuring, Weon Il-chu shouted.

“You fools! Who do you think is lying? You’re the ones being deceived! That man is a martial arts master who infiltrated while hiding his identity!”

“Everyone be quiet. If he’s from the martial arts world, he wouldn’t do this without reason, and if he did, there would be a hidden purpose.”

When Weon Il-chu shouted loudly, Byeon Ak spoke quietly to organize the situation. When the commotion briefly subsided, Byeon Ak looked at Weon Il-chu and asked.

“Do you have evidence?”

“Yes! Yesterday that man threatened me by grabbing an iron hammer with both hands and crushing it!”

Weon Il-chu told the truth. Yoo Eun-hyun appealed his innocence while spreading his hands.

“No way. How could a person crush a hammer with bare hands? Aren’t you trying to hide the weapon that injured Brother Cheol-dong?”

Just from words alone, no conclusion could be reached.

“Good. Both arguments have merit. Normally I would make the decision, but… this matter has serious claims on both sides. Master Chang Hae, may I leave the rest to you?”

“Very well.”

When Byeon Ak raised his hand and bowed to the Maegyo Follower Chang Hae, Chang Hae stepped forward.

“Eek…!”

Instantly, several people let out short screams. This was because an eerie energy momentarily enveloped and circled the surroundings.

“How interesting. Usually it’s boring work, but something fun has come up. How rewarding.”

Chang Hae looked at Weon Il-chu and Yoo Eun-hyun with a sinister expression.

“The judgment is simple. Whether you dared to deceive us and sneak in, or tried to protect yourself with petty lies, neither side can be taken lightly.”

Chang Hae caught his breath for a moment and smiled coldly.
