chapter 34
34 – Ganghwa-ryeon, the daughter of Heuksanhoe (5)
The uncomfortable mealtime is over before anyone knows.
Cheolhwan Kang stood up first.
He got up and walked slowly outside.
The sound of trudging footsteps slowly faded away.
After that, Kang Cheol-hwan’s children, who had been gathered in threes and threes, quickly scattered.
“… ….”
Just before going out to the restaurant.
I could feel the gaze of a man.
Odokani was looking at me.
…… He knew, in fact, that he was peeking from the moment he entered the restaurant.
Since I was silently looking at her without saying anything, I pretended not to notice her clenching her teeth, but her gaze seemed so blatant that it was hard to ignore.
‘Kang Yun-ryeol. Why are you looking at me like that?’
A Rank Hunter Kang Yun-ryeol.
As the eldest son of Kang Cheol-hwan, the way he looks at me is scary.
Kang Yun-ryeol’s gaze contained many emotions.
Complaint, enmity, resentment, anger.
Of all the emotions, there was one that stood out the most, and that was fear.
It could have been my misunderstanding, but he seemed to be afraid of Kang Yun-ryeol even though he hated me.
‘Why is Kang Yun-ryeol me?’
Is it related to me in the past?
I was afraid that I might have created a grudge relationship for no reason.
“Hey. What are you looking for?”
At that time.
Hwaryeon Kang spat out.
It was a mixture of annoyance and anger.
It snarled, clearly displaying hostility.
…… Ganghwa-ryun, the old man, struck first.
She put her hand in her pocket and shot Kang Yun-ryeol wildly.
The pupils flashed viciously.
Soon Kang Yun-ryeol’s eyes moved to Ganghwa-ryeon.
“… ….”
“… ….”
For a while, the two men and women looked at each other without saying a word.
The eyes intertwined.
“…… Tsk.”
It was Kang Yoon-ryeol who avoided his eyes until the end.
He clicked his tongue once and moved his steps outside of him.
Ganghwa-ryeon looked at Kang Yun-ryeol’s back and snorted at her with a sarcastic remark, “You’re a cowardly asshole.”
…… She seemed to dislike Kang Yun-ryeol considerably.
“Let’s go back to the room soon. You have a lot to ask me, right?”
“Oh, yes.”
I followed her steps along Ganghwa-ryun.
I felt Kang Yoo-jung’s strange gaze from behind, but I ignored it.
After leaving the cafeteria, I saw several gang members who had been waiting all this time.
“Did you come out, young lady?”
“Have you been waiting long?”
“No.”
They were members of the Ganghwa-ryun faction.
The members of the other factions took a quick look at Ganghwaryun and me, then looked away.
It’s bloody. Never get used to it I want to quickly get out of this stuffy thug den.
But she had a lot to hear from Ganghwa-ryun, so she had to put up with it for now.
“This is my room.”
I arrived at the room in a hurry.
The scenery in the spacious room was quite desolate.
Unlike a girl’s room, exercise equipment was piled up.
“By the way, uh… I’m sorry.”
Ganghwa-ryun said.
As he sat on the bed, his eyebrows drooped gently as if he had no face.
“I never thought my dad would do this.”
He glanced at my face and was chanting a little weakly.
“I must have liked you.”
“What?”
“My dad doesn’t say much to people he doesn’t care about.”
“Really?”
This is an unwelcome interest.
“Anyway, since you say you lost your memory, you must have a lot of questions. Ask me a question. I will answer anything I can.”
“Then… ….”
I organized my thoughts on what to ask first.
There are many things I want to know about, and many questions I really want to ask.
But now I needed to ask this first.
It’s about the factional fight in Heuksanhoe.
The way Kang Yoon-ryeol looked at me earlier, and Kang Yoo-jung’s strange gaze.
Since he had already been involved with Heuksanhoe, it was too much of a concern to just pass it by.
“Please explain something related to the faction fight.”
“Okay. It’s something you need to know anyway.”
Ganghwa-ryun slowly cleared her throat.
Then, one by one, she began to explain the secrets of the Heuksan meeting.
The conversation went on for quite some time, but I just listened in silence.
‘I think it’s a bit more troublesome than I thought?’
How much time has passed like that?
The story of Kang Hwaryeon has come to an end.
I thought about her story for a while.
Hanghwaryeon’s words buzzed in my head.
I have reorganized my thoughts about Heuksanhoe.
Currently, Kang Cheol-hwan has five wives.
All wives are from Gangnam, Suwon, Geumjeong, Guhan, and Bukseong.
I was married to a relative of the former heads of each organization.
Because of that, he gave birth to five children by half.
Kang Cheol-hwan’s half-brothers are each supported by their own maternal side.
First, Ganghwa-ryun, the eldest daughter.
Hwaryeon Kang is supported by the Gangnam faction.
Because her mother is from Gangnam.
The Gangnam faction is the best among factions.
Unofficially, it can be said that it is the number 1 in the hierarchy.
I have been with Kang Cheol-hwan from the beginning, and we are maintaining a fairly friendly relationship.
Because of that, when Kang Cheol-hwan collapsed, he protected and defended his safety.
In fact, they are pro-cheolhwanpa and limbs.
It is said that it is mainly in charge of the construction industry.
The second daughter, Yoojung Kang.
Kang Yu-jeong had a mother from the Suwon School.
The Suwon faction, which dominated the Gyeonggi-do area, is currently supporting Kang Yoo-jeong.
It boasts the largest number of factions among the Heuksanhoe factions, and is earning a considerable amount of money as it engages in the financial industry.
In this faction fight, there are many evaluations that he showed a neutral attitude as if he was watching and weighed for the future.
That’s why Kang Chul-hwan was sanctioned to some extent at this point when he regained his energy, but compared to other factions, he was on the sane side.
The third eldest son, Kang Yun-ryeol.
He is loved by the Geum Jeongpa, who was active in Busan.
If Gangnam faction is the best faction and Suwon faction is the largest faction, then Geumjeong faction is the strongest faction.
We have some strong talents who were active in Busan, and we got acquainted with overseas mafia through the port.
I was mainly in charge of overseas distribution, and actively intervened in this faction fight.
Kang Yun-ryeol’s parents used this opportunity to beat Kang Kang-hwan’s back.
It was, in effect, a rebellion and a betrayal.
It was this Geumjeong faction that actually tried to kill Ganghwaryeon.
They convened a general meeting of shareholders and tried to assassinate Kang Cheol-hwan, and so on.
…… Well, in the end, the rebellion was suppressed because of me before I lost my memory.
I didn’t know how to do that.
I just wonder how he did it.
Anyway, when Kang Cheol-hwan regained his strength, he just shattered the gold-jeong wave.
According to Kang Hwa-ryeon’s words, a significant number of members of the Gold Jeong Sect were subject to ‘recommended resignation and personnel appointment’…….
I didn’t tell you exactly, but I said that it went through a water change and restructuring, and that a considerable number of businesses were taken over by Gangnam.
For that reason, Lee Sol was busy with work and couldn’t come with Ganghwa-ryun.
‘Hmm.’
In addition, there are two other large factions.
Guhanpa, Northseongpa.
They were also active in faction fights.
So much blood was shed.
However, it is said that the limbs were dismantled by Kang Cheol-hwan, who recovered his energy without getting any results.
In other words, the current faction we need to pay attention to is Yujeong Kang of the Suwon faction.
“Kang Yu-jeong, that year. Since my father has fallen, I am neutral, and the two factions are weighing it. It’s a b*tch like a bat.”
Ganghwa-ryun gnashed his teeth.
“Anyway, right now, in fact, our faction is superior.”
“Yes.”
“I will make sure not to harm you. To be honest, it seems that the successor has been decided on me almost half way.”
“Really?”
Well, it was worth it.
Excluding the Gangnam faction and the Suwon faction, the other three factions were brute force bastards who hit the back of the head.
“Anyway, I don’t know why Dad is leaving Kang Yun-ryeol alone.”
Ganghwa-ryun softly brushed her hair and muttered dissatisfiedly.
“There is no way that Kang Yun-ryeol, who is supported by the Geumjeong faction, doesn’t know anything, right? You must have noticed what the foreign uncle was trying to do, but didn’t the fact that you were silent actually agree?”
“Hmm.”
“Dad only took care of the mother’s side, but Kang Yun-ryeol was dumbfounded. The bastard who tried to stab her father in the back. Under.”
“No, what. It’s just a heart attack. Aren’t there any proofs?”
“There is no such thing as an asshole. Dad just let it go.”
“Huh? Okay?”
“Dad is a bit soft towards his family. That’s why the kids can’t understand the subject and are acting like that.”
…… What. Kang Cheol-hwan’s family love is quite famous.
Of course, the mother’s family is not cheap.
“But you don’t know anything about my abilities?”
“As I said earlier, I only heard of buffs and nerfs. Well what else? Because you hid it thoroughly.”
“Then you don’t know how I cured your father, and you don’t know how I identified the traitors?”
“Yes. Yes.”
After all, no one knows about the ability?
This is a bit frustrating.
“Is there a big difference between me in the past and the current me?”
“Huh?”
“No, I didn’t understand my behavior before I lost my memory. It’s only a few months that I don’t remember, but I can’t remember why I acted like this…….”
“Well.”
Ganghwa-ryun let her horse’s tail hang down and moved her grinning gaze.
“I don’t think there is a big difference, but what can I say? Feel sharp? A lot of that is gone.”
“A sharp feeling?”
“Yes. You…… To be honest, I don’t think he liked us very much.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“Well, even if it’s Heuksan Group and it’s a big company, it’s still a group of thugs. I can understand your dislike, but…….”
Kang Hwa-ryeon made a slightly complicated expression and let out a low rhyme.
“…… I especially disliked the gold jeongpa side. So she pushed the gold sect even harder.”
“Huh?”
Why did you hate it?
Could it be that you hurt Ganghwa-ryun?
It could be, but it doesn’t touch the spirit.
“Hwaryeon-ah. How about you…….”
Smart.
The moment you want to ask another question.
Someone knocked on the door.
“Excuse me, lady.”
“What’s up Uncle?”
Outside, Ganghwa-ryeon’s uncle is knocking on the door.
“The second lady has come to visit.”
“Yes?”
Kang Hwa-ryun asked back as if wondering.
“Why is he?”
“I’m fine…… May I let you in anyway?”
“… ….”
Hwaryeon Gang scratched her temples.
He glanced sideways at my face.
I immediately looked away and frowned as if I was a little worried.
It was a face that looked uncomfortable as much as he thought Kang Yoo-jung was uncomfortable.
She raised her voice but what she did within her mind.
“Let it in, Uncle. I wonder why he came.”
“Okay, lady. Then.”
Kikkik.
The door opened wide as soon as permission was given.
“How are you?”
Then Kang Yoo-jung appeared with a decadent laugh.
Yoojeong Kang gently grabbed the edge of her skirt and gently bent her knees as she greeted her gracefully.
Ganghwa-ryun snorted at her with an expression that said, “I’m trembling all over the place.”
“What is your business?”
“Ah. No big deal. Just… ….”
He is wearing a daily hanbok designed for improvement.
I could see the thin clothes swaying.
In one hand, she held a black parasol.
She approached one stroke after another with graceful steps.
Her purple hair is in a plait that extends all the way to her waist.
Kang Yu-jeong said with a slightly decadent and captivating smile.
“I will surrender.”
“Huh?”
“Please save me.”
“What?”
Kang Yu-jeong looked at Ganghwa-ryun as she spoke, and she suddenly glanced at me and waved her white flag flutteringly with a mischievous smile on her face.
