233 – [4] Abuse
#233
There was a time when I couldn’t tell if I was possessed or just reincarnated.
When I was a child who had just lost my parents and knew nothing.
Of course, not knowing means not knowing about reality.
Even though my mind was fine, my brain’s performance was less than that of a Raspberry Pi to understand reality.
Anyway, at the time, Charelle Thea often followed her aunt to the far north.
My parents’ graves were there, and her grandmother was waiting for me to come.
Why?
Maybe it’s because it’s really cute…… The fundamental reason was because I was the eldest grandson.
It means that you should stop by your hometown since you will inherit the family in the future.
It wasn’t a very good experience because I had many relatives other than my aunt.
And while experiencing that, I often stopped by the local community center.
It was surprising that administrative processing was carried out in a place without proper internet, but there were civil servants there anyway.
When there are this many people, there are bound to be some unusual people.
Unfortunately, the far north of Chareltea was a place where its uniqueness was maximized.
There is a saying that if you play for one day in the summer, you will starve for 10 days in the winter.
Perhaps because it is only winter, this cold hell-countryside is full of people who have given up everything.
– “Huh? “What is this smell?”
– “Looks like the clerk over there has been drinking at least?”
– “Cousin, is it okay for civil servants to drink during the day?”
– “Well, that’s fine. I don’t know sister…… But it’s obviously dirty. “It would be best to ask your aunt to go quickly.”
When you go to the community center after lunch, the deep smell of alcohol wafts through you.
The entire community center was like that to say that the ladies and uncles of the neighborhood came to have a drink.
I wondered who had been drinking so I looked around and found only one culprit.
It was the civil servants working there.
It was truly Slavic and chic for public officials to drink alcohol in broad daylight.
If you think about it, Russia or the Far North were places so cold that even the Sword Master could be bitten by a passing bear.
– “I smelled alcohol last time, but I smell alcohol this time too…” ….”
– “It looks like the government officials drank it during a group dinner or something.”
– “Cousin, why do we always come here to take out and organize documents?”
– “…… “Even my sister doesn’t know that.”
But that was no excuse for drinking in broad daylight.
Even though the world is different, it is a country that remains the same.
Russia went to war with Germany three times, lost all three times, had its country and people ruined three times in a row, and without fail had a stressful justification for its democracy.
We weren’t broke yet, and we weren’t even at the point where we would drink just because it was cold.
The Far North was an area where you could live in your own way if you carried something like a portable steam engine.
In other words, it was the negligence of rural government officials.
We just wanted to drink, so we drank together as a group.
You could call me old because my brain was adapted to the early 21st century, but even at this point, alcohol was not a luxury product that gave me an advantage in ‘working.’
Instinct trumps reason, and considering that the cleaner runs in the brain, it could never be an advantage.
Is it okay to just have one drink?
Is a drink that drinkers say really a drink?
This was like what gamblers say is the last time.
It means drinking a glass of alcohol with high alcohol content or drinking more than that.
Chronic addiction patients who cannot even recognize people.
According to my personal judgment, this was not limited to rural civil servant organizations.
“What? City and rural officials?”
These bastards.
These guys take the money that Cheonma-ri and I worked hard to earn.
Drinking in broad daylight.
And that too on a weekday when there isn’t much going on!
“Yes! “They’re like country civil servants who drink in broad daylight because they’re lazy!”
It could have been a designated company dinner.
Or, it could have been a really young company culture.
But, there was no feeling that it was really like that.
At that time, there was only an inkling that they were the same as the civil servants at rural community centers.
“What is this guy saying all of a sudden? “Why on earth are you a public servant or something?”
“The employees are drinking during working hours. “Then should I stay still?”
Still, public officials belonged to a group that was in charge of an area that was public yet closely related to the region.
I do not belong to a group that must unconditionally make a profit.
I was able to understand at least by force.
But private companies were a different story.
No matter how close it is or how bad it is, how can I not turn a blind eye when money is coming out of my pocket?
Because of this, when I said it directly, some people’s expressions changed.
From just being annoyed, he turned pale as if he sensed something ominous.
“Employees…… ? Time…… ?”
“Uh, huh?”
“Oh, by the way, it looks like you’re young and don’t know anything. “Maybe we can have some drinks during work hours.”
However, the guy who was preaching something earlier was different.
Perhaps they were drunk and couldn’t understand the situation properly, so they treated us like annoying flies.
“Ha! Can I eat it? “What kind of bastard in the world would allow that?”
“No, that’s up to us to decide. Anyway, unless it’s related to that, just go. “Because I don’t want to fight.”
A gaze that has no equal because it is insignificant.
I stumbled under the influence and waved my hands.
I never thought you would not notice even though I paid you this much attention.
Even if I was fired later, I didn’t think I would feel any remorse.
Boom!
I hit the table again loudly.
Part of the beer glass tipped over and flowed down the table.
Precious alcohol.
Disappearing alcohol.
The look in his eyes changed.
Aggression was in the eyes.
“…… Oh no, I passed it and this is it! “What are you doing, you idiot?!”
“You guys are the ones who pay your salary. Why! “Pick it?!”
In that case, we also had no choice but to go aggressively.
I took out the sword from my belt.
The sword was pulled out with a clang sound.
The blade was immediately thrust into the guy’s neck.
“Whoa, salary?!”
“What pathetic bastards! “You don’t even know who your superiors are?!”
When she glanced at her thousand birds, she also raised her sword.
However, unlike me, he acted slowly, perhaps because he was thinking about something else.
“I thought they were doing well among themselves. “I never thought I would stab you like this!”
“No, not the back of the head—”
“Then this is the back of my head! Or what?”
They kept shaking their heads, saying it wasn’t a stab in the back, but I, the victim, clearly felt like they had stabbed me in the back.
It was like they didn’t even know what they were doing.
That was when I was constantly getting angry.
Cheonma-ri put her hands on the table as if it was now her turn to speak.
“Hey you bastards. “I showed you the most grace, but this is what happened?”
However, it wasn’t just words.
Cheonmaly grabbed the middle-aged bald head of a nearby guy.
“Ahhhhh! “Ahh!”
“Shut up and follow me right away!”
One person was dragged outside.
The rest of the people followed suit, stamping their feet as if it were an additional giveaway event.
There was resistance, but there was no defeat or flight.
In the first place, it was nearly impossible for five or six ordinary people to defeat two hunters.
“If you drop yourself in the Shannon River for about 30 minutes, you might learn some manners!!”

“My hair! Hair!!! I’m really into it! Argh!!!”
“Oh my! Wow!!! “Ugh!”
“Sorry! Sorry! Only once! Just once…… !”
I cannot forgive employees who cut out my heart!
The anger of the abusers reached them.
Like that, I had the feeling that I was intoxicated with power like a thousand birds.
You shouldn’t be like this guy.
For a moment, I got goosebumps.

Kororok─
The experiment to see how long a non-awakened human could survive in the river did not last long.
Tragically, it has been proven once again that ordinary humans cannot last even 3 minutes under water.
“Ke, kehe!”
“A bastard like the boss gets things done this way? “You want to build some friendships too?!”
The president survived after dying due to cold water friction.
As soon as he returned to the president’s office, he knelt in front of us along with the other managers.
And that too in a very miserable way.
I pray that I won’t drink again from now on.
“Yes, that’s right. Are you letting me know this time because I have something I’ve done so far? Okay?”
“I’m sorry…… ! Next time, next time, we will make sure nothing like this happens…!”
You might say that this act itself is illegal.
But even if it is true that it is illegal, what can one do in front of the hunter?
If a sword and a pen fight, the pen wins, but the reality is that if a pen and a sword are together, there is nothing they cannot overcome.
We had money, armed forces, a large group, and were even foreigners.
No matter what they did, there were a lot of cards they could mobilize.
This meant that no matter how hard they tried, the only people who would see blood were themselves and their families.
To continue to be hired, to continue to survive.
I had to be honest.
“Why didn’t the desk attendant recognize us?”
“It’s because we didn’t explain things properly to our employees! Sorry!”
“Then why didn’t you explain it properly?”
“That’s…… I think I was crazy back then…… Because I was sitting high up, I lost my mind for a moment… ….”
“Did he lose his mind because of power? “Then you must have touched the company’s assets as well?”
“Oh, no! “I never touched any of the company’s assets, including stocks!”
You have to say something that makes sense.
I was in charge of the company’s books right now.
The parts that were judged and passed over as Cheonma-ri did something strange.
If we checked the somewhat unusual parts again, many things would have changed.
“Really? “My friend keeps the books. Can you tell me that’s true?”
“That, that, that…” ….”
“You said you didn’t even touch it at all. I’ll remember it well. “You probably won’t forget what you said, right?”
“… ….”
There was no answer.
Cheonma-ri slapped the guy on the cheek.
Sounds of crackling and sobbing could be heard incessantly.
Unfortunately, there was no mercy to be shown to those who committed sins.
“Sorry…… Do… ….”
“If you’re sorry, will your career end?”
“No…… All.”
“Then go over there, kneel down and raise your hands.”
There was a gesture telling me to go to the corner.
The president, who was as old as my father, was down on his knees with his arms raised, looking miserable.
It may seem like a somewhat merciful treatment, but it was not at all.
Because the punishment was light, it meant that there was a corresponding price.
I had a hunch that sooner or later the boss and his friends would become one of the things that sank in the Shannon River.
I thought about stopping it because it was different from the previous promise, but it was still the same as no answer.
How can someone who betrayed once not betray twice?
From now on, we had to keep in mind the possibility that hatred could ruin the company.
Even if that is not the case, it is not for nothing that people say that people cannot be rewritten.
Heeding the proverbs of our ancestors, Cheonma-ri and I sat down on the sofa in the president’s office and continued to look at the employees.
“Electric fan.”
“Okay… ….”
“Mass your shoulders.”
“Yes… ….”
“Bring water.”
“Woah, here I am…” ….”
He also committed abuse of power by taking advantage of the emotions of those desperate to survive.
However, it was only done to those who were involved in this matter.
A minor revenge for betraying expectations.
In fact, even that did not last long.
After a while, to what extent has the anger subsided?
Cheonma-ri sighed as if letting out steam.
It was a time when I thought things would finally become quiet.
She looked at me secretly.
The feeling of anger disappeared, and instead a feeling of despair appeared.
I felt uneasy about something, and this feeling was usually true.
“I never thought I would say something in this situation, but…… Hey, Jiangshi.”
“Why?”
“Aren’t you planning on owning a proper company?”
I also feel at a loss.
It was clear what Cheonmaly’s sudden statement meant.
