chapter 18
18 – Teamwork (2)
Around the time Kanghyuk was secretly raising his life, Red Skull was glancing at Kanghyuk at that time.
‘They say it’s ugly, but when you see it, it’s not? He’s wearing a mask, so his features aren’t quite visible, but that jawline and eyes look handsome no matter how you look at them… .’
Red Skull wondered why. As far as he knew, Chugoe was a really ugly looking villain. There are rumors that he was called a villain because of his face, so how ugly is his appearance?
‘…Well, it’s done.’
But after a while, the Red Skull shrugged his shoulders as if it didn’t matter. No matter what Chugoe’s face was, it was enough for him to complete this task well. If this job is done well, he won’t have to worry about money for a while.
“Okay, now that everyone is here, let’s explain the plan. As everyone knows, we plan to kidnap Class B heroes from now on. It is this guy.”
Red Skull took out the tablet he had prepared.
A picture of a woman wearing a clerical robe was praying on the screen of the tablet.
“Saint Ellen. She is a girl who can heal any serious wound at once. He’s a B-class because he doesn’t have combat ability, but if you only consider the status of his ability itself, calling him an S-rank would be foolish.”
“A woman like that would have many bodyguards around her, right?”
“That’s right. More than 1,00 guards are guarding the perimeter of this woman.”
“… .”
At Red Skull’s words, Lecter and Fox looked at him as if they were bewildered. Over a hundred guards? How could such a number of people penetrate it?
“Whoops, no need to worry. Could I have offered this job without thinking?”
“You will have to explain the proper plan. Otherwise, I’m going to leave this place right away.”
“Calm down, Fox.”
Red Skull smiled and glanced at the ugly one more time.
Chukai, unlike Lecter and Fox, seemed very calm. If you’ve heard that there are over a hundred guards around your target, that’s enough to get you sick of it.
‘Was the ugliness really that strong? I’ve heard that the machine gun is the main weapon, but I’ve never heard of his combat career in detail, so I’m not sure.’
The Red Skull took a fresh look at the depravity, then opened his mouth again.
His explanation was simple.
Saint Ellen goes out to volunteer work in the slums every year, and at this time, the guard’s security is very lax. Because it might create a sense of intimidation for people living in slums.
“Using this opportunity, we plan to kidnap Ellen. Everyone’s role is very important here. Everyone read this.”
Red Skull handed each of them a thick document. Inside the document was a map of the slums, their respective roles, and passwords.
“You have to learn everything in it within two hours. If you understand everything, I will give each of you the equipment you need.”
“Hey wait! Is there one thing missing from the paperwork?”
“What do you mean is missing?”
“I mean who to transport the kidnapped Ellen to.”
At Fox’s words, the Red Skull hesitated for a moment. And after a while, he shrugged his shoulders.
“You don’t need to know that. If you bring Ellen here, your role ends there.”
“Is that the end?”
“okay. You just get 20 million won and go home. I don’t know what happened after that.”
Red Skull said coldly.
In fact, the reason Red Skull wanted to kidnap Ellen was because a certain tycoon commissioned him. If you kidnap Ellen, you will give him 1 billion.
Red Skull intended to take most of the 1 billion to himself. Because of this, he intended to disband the team after kidnapping Ellen to an abandoned factory and paying everyone 20 million won. It was enough for him alone to transport the kidnapped Ellen to the client.
“I don’t know! Should there be something to hide while working together? Don’t you all think so?”
But Fox seemed unwilling to back down. she asked, looking back at Lecter and the ugly.
“Think carefully, everyone. It’s about kidnapping a B-class hero. To be honest, do you think 20 million won is too cheap?”
“What do you want to say?”
“Hey Red Skull. I’m not stupid. This job is a subcontractor. I wish I could reveal to everyone who made the request and for what amount? After that, let’s settle the request fee again.”
When Fox crossed his arms and fired sharply, Red Skull felt embarrassed for a moment. No matter how D-class, is a villain still a villain? She seemed unwilling to let go of matters involving money.
Red Skull bit his lip. After a while, he finally opened his mouth as if he couldn’t help it.
“okay. If so, be honest. In fact, this request is something that a certain big man asked me directly. The reward is 500 million.”
“5,500 million? Hey you bastard thief! You were supposed to get 500 million won, but did you plan to give us only 20 million won each?”
Fox was talking nonsense. Lecter, who was standing next to him, also seemed a little displeased.
“Red Skull. Are you kidding me?”
“What are you kidding? This was something I could only plan because of my age. I received the request, and I also made the plan. Of course, there should be some kind of pay.”
“No matter how it is, it doesn’t make sense to give us only 20 million won. You alone take 440 million? Nonsense!”
When Lecter growled, Red Skull felt annoyance rising for a moment.
Anyway, the villains… !
“good night. Then, let’s pay each one 50 million won.”
However, the Red Skull decided to make a concession. Anyway, the request of 1 billion was turned into 500 million. Even with a small portion of it, he could have made enough money.
“50 million won, I have to give you at least 100 million!”
“Seven thousand. No more concessions can be made. To be honest, there are plenty of villains besides you that would do this. You guys should know that too, don’t you?”
When Red Skull asked back, Lecter and Fox clicked their tongues. Because what he said wasn’t entirely wrong.
“… Chugoe, what do you think?”
Suddenly, Red Skull asked Chugoe.
Chugoe was watching the situation with his arms crossed.
“I am satisfied with 7,000.”
“I’m glad.”
“By the way, Red Skull. Did the client really say he would give 500 million?”
“… however?”
Red Skull furrowed his brows at the ugly question.
Could it be that he noticed that it was 1 billion, not 500 million?
‘… 500 million! Amazing, Great!’
However, contrary to Red Skull’s thoughts, depravity… No, Kang Hyuk was in the middle of calling for joy.
In fact, he had intended to kill them all right here before he left to kidnap them. It was because his purpose in the first place was not to make money by kidnapping Ellen, but to raise the level by killing the villains all at once.
However, if the client were to receive 500 million separately, the story could be seen as completely different.
Kidnap Ellen, then kill Lecter and Fox! And if you blackmail the remaining Red Skulls and hand over Ellen to the client instead… ?
If he did this, Kanghyuk would be able to earn a lot of money and a lot of experience points. It was said to eat a pheasant and eat an egg.
“It is nothing. It’s just because you look so good at it.”
“Thank you.”
“Anyway, I’m satisfied with 70 million won. How are you guys?”
Kang Hyuk asked Lecter and Fox.
They looked a little unwilling, but soon nodded as if they couldn’t help it. It was based on the judgment that as long as one person was satisfied, he could not receive more.
“good. Then everything is sorted out now. I have to move in two hours, so make sure everyone reads the paperwork properly.”
Red Skull took out a cigarette and went out of the abandoned factory, and Kang Hyuk started to memorize the documents afterwards.
Now that this has happened, the mission must come first.
***
The paperwork was well organized.
Thanks to that, Kang Hyuk was able to properly grasp what his role was.
“… hey.”
But that was just then.
When Fox suddenly approached, Kanghyuk raised his head.
“What is going on?”
“I have a suggestion for you.”
“proposal?”
“huh. Closer… .”
As Fox beckoned, Kanghyuk moved closer to her.
When Kanghyuk seemed to have approached him enough, Fox spoke in a quiet tone.
“Ugly. No matter how much you think about it, don’t you think 7,000 is too cheap? How about we try negotiating again?”
