I Become a Mafia in the Academy

Chapter 52

The sudden appearance of the vehicles startles the thugs.

"......What are those?"

"President, are they coming here now?"

"Do you think I wouldn't know that?!"

The vehicles enter the parking lot where we are, surrounding the thugs in an instant.

Soon, men in black suits begin to emerge from the cars that have stopped simultaneously, and the thugs' expressions start to harden.

"This is crazy...... Do you think you'll get away with this?!"

Perhaps because they realized they had fallen into a trap.

The thugs aim their guns at me and Han Seojun, shouting.

"President, what should we do? Should we, should we run first?"

One of the employees, sensing the unusual atmosphere, asks the leader.

"How can we run with them like this, you idiot! Hmph...... Hey, kid. Let go of these people right now. If you want to live, let them go immediately!"

So they finally thought of taking Han Seojun and me as hostages.

......Pathetic.

At that moment, Han Seojun grabs the muzzle and brings it to his temple.

"Uh, uh?"

The thug, startled, instinctively raises his hands, and Han Seojun swiftly twists his wrist, disarming him of the gun.

"Huh?"

While the thug stands frozen in shock at the sudden move.

Han Seojun aims the gun at the thug.

"Kneel."

"This, this is insane......! Do you think you'll be safe after capturing me? Do you think my guys will just sit still if I die?!"

As the thug shouts, the thugs around us raise their weapons, glaring at the bodyguards nearby.

They look ready to charge at any moment.

"Really?"

They seem to be trying to threaten us, but...... I shake my head and speak to the bodyguards.

"Everyone, arm yourselves."

As if they had been waiting for my command, the bodyguards begin to open their trunks, pulling out heavy weapons and aiming them at the thugs.

Shotguns, submachine guns, assault rifles, and even heavy machine guns.

With everyone armed with heavy weapons, the detective agency employee slowly looks at me.

"Even like this, do you think they'll just sit still? I think I'll stay quiet."

"......Please spare us."

Indeed, guns are undoubtedly the greatest negotiation tool invented by humans.

* * *

"......What? Failed?"

At Kangbul Detective Agency in Jongno.

"Does that make any sense?! I gave you 50 million, 50 million! And now you're saying you can't do the job?"

"What can we do?! Should we have been human shields against those bodyguards armed with heavy weapons?!"

There, Kwon Suhyeop and the president of Kangbul Detective Agency are having a heated argument.

"Even if you're Awakened, guns don't work on you! You were supposed to just sweep them away and break that guy's limbs!"

Hearing the detective agency president's words, Kwon Suhyeop gets furious, and he too, red-faced, shouts back at him.

"Not work? Bullshit! Those bodyguards were all Awakened too! Shouldn't you be the one getting questioned? You sent us on a suicide mission from the start! Our employees almost died because of it!"

The detective agency president is also driven to madness. When they investigated the target, the information about him was just mediocre.

A rich young master who owns a slightly large share in a subsidiary of Hanwol Group. An orphan whose parents on both sides are dead.

But what were those unbelievable bodyguards, and where did those heavy weapons come from?

No matter how legal firearms became due to dungeons in the Republic of Korea, those heavy weapons were incomprehensible unless they were soldiers.

"Then, since you failed the job, return the payment at least!"

"Are you crazy? You paid only 50 million credits for such a job, and you want it back?"

The furious president of the detective agency pushes Kwon Suhyeop's chest with his finger and says.

"Remember this. You tried to assault people you shouldn't have messed with. Got it?"

People you shouldn't mess with. What is he that makes them say this?

"To be honest, I want to tear you apart right here and now. But do you know why I won't? Because your father is the guild master of Hunter's Guild. Understand? Now get lost!"

In the end, Kwon Suhyeop, driven out by the cold glares of the detective agency employees, returns home, unable to contain his boiling anger.

What is he that makes everyone act like this?

Even Lee Haru from the International Trade Club, who never paid attention to him before, is having a private meeting with Han Yoojin.

Members of the Board Game Club, despite their ridiculous name, are good at what they do and defend Han Yoojin, while Lee Seri from the Recipe Development Club, who possesses a recipe that can shock the world, cooks for them.

"What is he, what is he that makes everyone act like this?! What the hell is going on?!"

Then, a good idea crosses Kwon Suhyeop's mind.

"If the detective agency won't work...... I can just ask other guys, right?"

Although he visited the detective agency because he couldn't use his father's and guild's name, now that it has come to this, he has no choice, and Kwon Suhyeop's mouth stretches into a long grin.

"Yes, if not the detective agency, I can entrust it to professional operators......."

Finding professional operators wasn't that difficult.

Isn't there an organization that can be called a specialist in such matters?

'Cowalnose.'

A mafia group under Calione that can make even crying babies stop.

Would the 'Cowalnose Family,' which coexists with his father's guild, Hunter's, take my request?

With that thought, Kwon Suhyeop was about to head to the nearest office of the Cowalnose Family he knew.

"Huh?"

At that time, he received a call from his father, who should be busy with guild work.

"Father, what's going on───"

[You crazy bastard! Stop what you're doing right now!]

"......Yes?"

[I don't know what you're trying to do, but stop it immediately. Understand? This father is earnestly asking you. Please.......]

His father's earnest plea, heard for the first time.

The series of incomprehensible situations was driving Kwon Suhyeop to the brink of madness.

* * *

"This way, the Young Master won't have any more trouble."

Returning to the mansion, I instructed Han Seojun to leave a message to the thug's father, under the name of Calione, to take better care of his son.

Of course, it wasn't for my sake.

Once might be forgivable, but if they bother me twice, it feels like it won't be me, but Parnello or other organization members who will kill him.

This time, I was lucky to stop it before it reached my father's ears, but next time, I couldn't be sure.

My father might find out first and take action.

"Does he know? That I just saved not only his life but also his family."

"......Since he's smart enough to hire the detective agency to assault the Young Master, he might try to hire someone else."

No matter how I think about it, would he be that stupid?

Even I wouldn't hire someone again to go against a guy with bodyguards armed with heavy weapons.

Well, there's no need to shed unnecessary blood over a childish prank.

Besides, I have to personally educate him, so using the organization's power for this seems a bit much.

"Did you say there's no work scheduled for this Saturday and Sunday?"

The requests that have come to me over the past four days were mostly trivial.

That's understandable since, having become an executive, most executives tend to handle matters related to their own domains, and my domain is the academy.

It's not like you can assign trivial tasks to an executive.

Thus, I've entered a semi-forced rest period, and it's been a long time since I've resumed the successor training that I had been putting off.

"Yes."

"......I'll be beaten to death again."

Parnello's training is truly devilish.

The way he hits you as painfully as possible without causing injury is still terrifying.

"By the way, Young Master. Your executive promotion celebration party is scheduled for next week."

"Executive promotion celebration party? ......Looks like it's organized by Father."

"Yes. Originally, it should have been held on the day you were promoted to executive, but...... since Maestro's suit will be ready next week, it seems to be scheduled for that day."

"......Next week will be really hectic. How many events are scheduled, between the all-out battle and the party?"

"By the way, the chairman of the Hanwol Group has also been invited by Don, so I think he might come."

Are people from my mother's side coming too...?

Since I had something to discuss regarding the International Trade Club this time, I thought it wasn't a bad thing.

Moreover, information about my maternal grandfather, the chairman of the Hanwol Group, was hardly exposed even in the game.

So, if I meet him this time, I might be able to obtain the Character Codex or new information.

This is something to look forward to.

"Understood. I'll proceed under that assumption."

"Yes, Young Master."

* * *

I really disliked the sponge chef who lived under Bikini Island.

Well, of course, how can Monday ever be good?

To me, Monday was murder.

Such a hassle...

"'Familia' President Han Yoojin. Is it correct that you're holding an all-out battle in consultation with Kwon Suhyeop, the president of the 'Ranger Club'?"

"......Yes. That's correct."

"'Ranger Club' President Kwon Suhyeop. Is it correct that you're holding an all-out battle in consultation with Han Yoojin, the president of 'Familia'?"

"Yes."

"In that case, on behalf of the Seoul Hero Academy Student Council, I approve the all-out battle between the two clubs.

Lunchtime at Seoul Hero Academy.

While others were eating or resting, the two of us were in the student council room, finishing preparations for the all-out battle.

The person approving our all-out battle is Seo Yeonsu, who holds the position of club supervisor in the Seoul Hero Academy Student Council.

Ji Soohyun, who personally visited with three club certification documents, was the one who reached an agreement.

"The all-out battle will take place from 3 p.m. today, without sparring classes, and will be conducted in an external field designed for large-scale combat, given the limited space in the sparring room. Any objections?"

Both of us shake our heads.

"Having confirmed that both presidents have no objections, we will proceed. All procedures are complete, so you may leave."

As we bow and leave at her words, Kwon Suhyeop, who had been silent until now, glares at me.

"You... what did you do to my father?"

"Hmm? What are you talking about?"

"Don't play dumb. Why was my father crying and telling me not to do it on the day my people ran away from you in fear!"

It seems he's confronting me about what happened last week.

It's quite funny; it seems Han Seojun was right. This guy must really be an idiot.

At his bold attitude, I scoffed and said,

"So you sent those morons? What a pathetic bastard."

"What, what?!"

Realizing he had inadvertently confessed, the guy panics.

"If you were scared, you should have knelt down and apologized properly, but instead you're acting all bold. It's ridiculous. Are you proud of telling the detective agency to break my limbs?"

"......Shut up. I never ordered such a thing."

"Just now, you said you sent them, and now you're saying you never ordered it. Did you get a short-term memory loss from being hit with facts?"

"......Shut up!"

As the guy, hit with facts, angrily tries to lunge at me, the door we came out of opens with a bang!

"......Disturbance in front of the student council room is prohibited."

It seems the guy's voice was heard from inside as well, Seo Yeonsu glares at Kwon Suhyeop with an irritated look and goes back inside.

With her sudden intervention, I turned away and sighed at the sight of the guy standing there with his hands raised in confusion.

"As expected, Mondays are tiring."

Well then, shall we quickly deal with the troublesome matters?
