chapter 7
When I entered the store, the manager was talking to the police.
“Mr. Minhyuk!”
The manager gestured toward me.
“Come over here for a moment!”
Perhaps because it was in front of the police, he treated me with respect.
“That friend entered the room right before it happened.”
I was talking about bringing ramen to the boss.
Then the police asked me.
“Is there anything special when you enter the room?”
“No, I just left the ramen table.”
“How was the atmosphere? Wasn’t there such a bloody atmosphere? Were you arguing with each other?”
“No, no one said anything.”
The policeman nodded and this time asked the manager.
“Is there really no CCTV in the room?”
“Ugh, how do you do business with CCTV installed in your room? If the guests know, no one will come.”
CCTV was installed only at the entrance, lobby and hallway.
“Do you have any more questions for our staff?”
“no.”
The manager tapped me on the shoulder and said.
“Mr. Minhyuk, go and look at your work. Get ready to open.”
“yes.”
I nodded and headed to the locker room.
Then I bumped into a senior assistant in the hallway.
He looked at me and sighed in relief.
“I’m glad you’re okay! I was worried because I knew something had happened to my brother!”
“What happened?”
A senior assistant grabbed my wrist and led me into the kitchen.
I entered the kitchen and came out through the outside door.
He handed me a cigarette and even lit it.
Then he put a magpie in his mouth and continued talking.
“There was a fight in the room.”
“fight?”
“I’ve heard it too, so I don’t know the details, but they said they even stabbed him.”
The boss and two big men got tangled up and fought with knives, and all were seriously injured.
All three of them were taken away in an ambulance bleeding, but no one knows why they fought.
The three hospitalized patients continued to exercise their right to remain silent, so the police came to the bar to hear statements from the staff.
hmm-
I could guess why they fought.
‘It must be because of the gold bar.’
It was clear that the boss was suspicious of his subordinates after learning that the gold bars had disappeared.
With that personality, of course, he couldn’t control his anger and would have pulled out his knife first.
“By the way, hyung, did you wear high heels?”
Suddenly, the senior assistant asked the wrong question.
“no.”
“I think you are a bit tall.”
“is it so?”
I don’t know how tall I feel.
I heard that the elixir will gradually change my body to be beautiful and strong, so maybe the effect is working.
After I finished smoking, I went back into the store, but this time the waitress came up to me and threw a wild word at me.
“Uncle, did you do your makeup?”
“yes?”
“My face has improved. skin.”
I hurriedly entered the dressing room and stood in front of the mirror.
‘It’s real!’
The pimple marks on the face, which was one of my complexes, were noticeably reduced.
I couldn’t treat it with laser treatment, but it just got better on its own. It must be the effect of the elixir.
‘oh my god!’
Looks like spring is coming in my life.
.
.
.
As soon as all the cops returned, the tavern started operating.
But even after midnight, there were no customers.
Well, rumors must have spread around the area that there was a sword fight, but there’s no way guests would come.
The senior assistant and I had nothing to do, so we stood in the lobby in front of the counter, dazed.
thiririri-
The cell phone of the manager, who was sitting on a chair at the counter, rang.
“Yes, boss! yes yes!”
It was a call from the president who was hospitalized.
After the phone call, the manager told us.
“Lower the shutters, it’s closed.”
.
.
.
I was going to quit working only today, but things flowed naturally.
The manager dismissed the employees, saying that he would contact me when the business started later.
There was no promise of when to resume business, so it was actually like a layoff.
That’s how my life as a bar waiter came to an end.
‘Still, it was fun.’
When I came out of the tavern, the streets were still in darkness.
I lit a cigarette and started walking down the street.
Then, in my head, I made plans for the future.
‘Let’s make a lot of money.’
Using superpowers will give you a huge advantage in making money.
To be honest, I didn’t really know who ‘Alan’ was or what kind of relationship I had with him.
What I really wanted was a real-life movie.
And I will use this miraculous ability to achieve that.
‘What am I going to do to make money?’
There were various things that he could do with the magic he was learning right now.
‘robbery?’
It wasn’t even a matter of locking down a passer-by and stealing his wallet.
Shaking my head-
I shook my head.
Putting aside the matter of conscience, it was obvious that using magic to steal someone else’s wallet would cost more for the elixir.
‘Should I Rob the Cash Cart?’
Even if it’s the same robbery, a cash transport truck will pay off.
‘I’d rather rob a bank.’
Before I knew it, my head was filled with all sorts of criminal acts.
‘no no.’
There must be something far more fun and more lucrative than robbery.
In an instant, a good idea popped into my head.
‘casino!’
Wouldn’t it be possible to win a lot of money by going to a casino and manipulating the dealer?
If you simply control your actions, the dealer will feel strange, but I have a <deceit>!
If you design well, you can win a lot of money and finish neatly!
‘Gangwon-do go-go!’
As I walked with such pleasant thoughts, I arrived near the hotel before I knew it.
As I drank the cool night air, I remembered a glass of soju with hot soup.
I’m going to stop by the convenience store and buy some soju and snacks.
If you add ham and kimchi to instant stew and microwave it, it will be hearty and tasty.
Let’s pack it up at the hotel and plan to rob the casino while drinking alone.
Just across the neighborhood park, I saw a sign for a convenience store.
I crossed the park
It’s been quite a while since I came into the park late at night.
There was a time when I was passing through a park after work at dawn before and was caught by high school students and robbed of my money.
I handed over my wallet to those who were obedient because it was a world where middle and high school students beat me to death just because I bumped into my shoulder on the road.
It was a black history that I couldn’t tell anyone because I was embarrassed.
Since then, I have never entered the park late at night.
But now I am not the old me.
And I’m not sure I’ll run into delinquent students again.
however,
“mister!”
Dozens of students walked toward me.
Beige school uniform pants, famous high school guys in my neighborhood.
‘Do they live in the park?’
I’ve been robbed of money by those school bastards before.
“Did you call me?”
“Who else besides you here? Buy me some cigarettes.”
This time, it wasn’t about taking money, it was about running errands for cigarettes.
“Okay, what should I buy you?”
“I’ll buy two packs of xx.”
“okay. I’ll be back soon.”
I just said I’d buy it and thought I’d just throw it out.
Even if I use magic to teach those guys true education, only the elixir is a waste.
But the guys were smarter than I thought.
“Leave your phone and go. I’ll give it back to you when you buy me cigarettes.”
hmm-
I guess I’ll have to get some real education.
This is the guys digging their own graves.
I definitely gave it a chance.
I trembled while pretending to take out my cell phone.
“Oh right. I don’t even have 100 won right now. Pay for cigarettes.”
Then one of them frowned and shouted.
“This old man is going to die! Where is the fix!”
At that time, a man who was far away opened his mouth in a calm voice.
“Some grown-up people don’t even have money to buy cigarettes.”
oh-
He has an appealing low-pitched voice and a slim appearance, but he seems to be the leader.
I replied to him with a smile on his face.
“Not all adults have money.”
Then the guy smiled and approached me and handed me a 10,000 won note.
“Use this to buy two packs of cigarettes and keep the rest for Mr.
“Are you only giving me 1,000 won for errands? Don’t be mean and write more.”
The guy snorted and took out two 50,000 won bills from his wallet.
“Daddy, I caught you today. Hurry up and buy me a cigarette. I’ll give you 100,000 won when you buy it.”
I was curious about how it would come out, but I knew how to spend money in front of my friends on the topic of gopiri.
I replied with a smirk.
“What kind of student has so much money? But what can I do, they say that’s not enough.”
Then, the boy’s expression hardened.
“How much are you asking for!?”
“Give me all the money in your wallet. no···.”
I looked around at the guys and continued talking.
“Give me all the money you have. Then I’ll buy you two packs of cigarettes.”
Then the slim guy called out to his friends.
“What are you doing! Step on it!”
die-
bastard
The guy’s cry became the fuse, and they swore and attacked all at once.
“stop.”
stop-
All of my words made them harden like ice.
‘Let’s save the elixir.’
Just like the landlord, if you roll dozens of people here, you will lose tens of millions of won.
I walked over to the one closest to him and vigorously kicked the ankle of the leg supporting his weight.
swish-
The guy spun around like a yut and landed on the ground.
Keugh-
The guy let out a painful moan.
I fell down so hard that I couldn’t move my body, so I must have broken a few ribs.
puck-
puck-
The other guys did the same, kicking their ankles and knocking them down.
Before I knew it, everyone who had attacked me lay on the floor and groaned.
“You, what are you doing?”
The slender guy, who had been watching from behind, stuttered in embarrassment at the unexpected situation.
I walked towards him and opened my mouth.
“You know what I am, and what do I do?”
“Are you exercising? Do you do martial arts?”
After dozens of people collapsed in an instant, he mistook me for a martial artist.
“f*ck, can a professional player hit a normal person like this? A student too! you just got caught! You bastard, your career as a player is over!”
If I had really been an athlete, I might have hesitated at his threat.
Because if a public figure like an athlete or celebrity uses violence, whether it’s self-defense or whatever, the image is tarnished and irreversible.
That’s why there are evil people who choose only public figures and start a fight.
That gopiri guy was well aware of that and was making the most of it.
“I am not an athlete.”
“Well, then what is it?”
“It’s just a passer-by number 1, you bastard!”
puck-
I put my fist straight into the guy’s face.
kuh-
The guy collapsed with a double nosebleed.
‘Was my fist this strong?’
It seems that his punches have become stronger thanks to the effect of the elixir.
“You bastard… you’re dead…”
The guy glared at me with poisonous eyes.
I thought he would beg me to look at him, but he was a guy with a lot of guts.
He opened the bag he was carrying on his shoulder and looked for something.
“What are you doing? Are you looking for a knife?”
At most, I expected a cutter knife or a jackknife,
‘oh my god!’
A surprising thing appeared.
