16- Kangwon Land (4)

#16. Kangwon Land (4)

In the VVIP room, guided by manager Cha Hong-seok, the rat man who arrived first sat with a confident face.

“Kuhk, did the three of you plan a strategy? But our Song actor doesn’t seem confident to bet on someone else’s money, right?”

In fact, Song Min-gyu’s face was clearly nervous.

Who wouldn’t be nervous about a 3 billion won gamble no matter how much they have prepared a winning strategy?

Jihyeok smiled and said to Minkyu Song to relieve tension.

“look. Contemplation is science. Aren’t you babbling endlessly like a rat?”

“hahahaha, it certainly seems so.”

The rat-like man said with a slightly flushed face.

“Hey, let’s see if you can keep making fun of that snout even after losing 3 billion won.”

Instead of answering, Jihyeok slightly raised the corner of his mouth and sent a sneer.

Seeing Jihyeok’s expression for a moment, the man felt a bit uneasy, but quickly regained his peace of mind when he saw Song Minkyu with a nervous expression.

After the war of nerves between them, they deposited 3 billion chips each to manager Cha Hong-seok and proceeded with the game.

The dealer in charge of the game was also quite nervous.

After the dealer showed the discard card, the first betting time came.

It was Song Min-gyu who placed the bet first.

3 million won to the banker.

“Oh, actor Song. Are you sure there? I don’t think I am.”

The rat man provoked Song Min-gyu again and bet the same amount on the other side.

Soon after, the dealer announced the end of the betting time.

– No more bet.

– Banker Six, Player Natural Eight. player win.

“Euhahahaha, it’s sweet.”

Song Min-gyu’s face was slowly heating up as the memories of the past came to mind.

Again, Song Min-gyu bet first.

4 million won to the banker.

The rat man was raising 4 million won to the player without even looking at it.

– No more bet.

The sum of the first two cards is Player 1, Banker 6.

It was a hand that the banker had a fairly high chance of winning.

however······.

– Player draw eight. Player nine, banker six. player win.

The player drops an 8 and the player wins.

“Euhahahaha, this is just swimming on the ground. Actor Song, thank you. This is so sweet that it will rot your teeth, kkeuk.”

“Don’t keep betting later, bet some first.”

“No, Actor Song is impatient, so why do you do that to me with the first bet? If you’re not confident, can’t you just skip it?”

“That, that’s what you mean… Let’s see. I will definitely make you regret those words now…”

“hehehe, there’s no such thing as a scary person for a wait-and-see.”

Song Min-gyu, who wiped his flushed face with his hand, once again bet on the banker.

This time it was 8 million won.

Then the rat man’s sarcasm began.

“Tsuttuk, is that the only strategy the three of you put together?”

“…”

The rat man again bet against Min-gyu Song.

8 million won for the player.

– No more bet.

The rat man who bet on the player opened the cards first.

“hehehe, if you peck at this, only seven arms come out.”

– Player Seven. Please open your banker card.

Song Min-gyu slowly checked the card.

The first card was Clover King, and the second card was Clover Four Sides.

Four rows of clover pattern.

Now there are only two possible cases, 9 or 10.

If a 9 comes out, Song Min-gyu wins.

However, Song Min-gyu’s sighs that followed informed him that the second card was a 10.

“ha······.”

Song Min-gyu lowered his head and felt sorry for him.

Jihyo said in a low voice.

“There is still one more sheet left.”

– Draw for Banker. Please check your banker card.

This time it was a clover three side.

Three rows of clover.

66% chance to draw or lose, 33% chance to win.

Song Min-gyu slowly flipped the card with his earnest wishes.

result······.

– Player seven, banker eight. Benker Win.

It was Song Min-gyu’s victory.

“Whew… I won.”

Song Min-gyu, whose face lit up in an instant, patted Ji-hyeok on the shoulder, saying that he had worked hard.

Then the rat man who saw the scene started giggling.

“Kuh… kuh. Oh, my song actor, I will cry after that. Now you just won 1 million won and you are so happy?”

Song Min-gyu spoke to the man in a different, colder voice.

“I don’t know why I’ve been so obsessed with a rat like you. With something that will end so easily…”

“Poop, I’ve only played three games now. If anyone sees it, they’ll think it’s a billion won, keukkeuk.”

Song Min-gyu only responded with a faint smile to the guy’s provocation.

At that moment, the little mouse saw an unknown confidence in Song Min-gyu’s eyes.

Those eyes were those of a victor who won the game.

The man’s troubles did not last long.

Anyway, Song Min-gyu is a person who lacks self-control.

It was clear that the more he played, the more chips he had in front of him.

There was silence for a while while the two were fighting, and it was the dealer who broke the silence.

– Please place a bet.

The rat man was looking at where Song Min-gyu was betting in order to bet against Song Min-gyu this time.

however······.

– Please place a bet. If no bets are made within 10 seconds, it will be passed to the free hand.

Song Min-gyu was still not moving.

“Hey, Actor Song. Aren’t you betting?”

Song Min-gyu shrugged and ignored the man.

“Are you going to hold out? ha ha ha It’s ridiculous.”

Thinking that Song Min-gyu would protect the seed money, the man confidently bet 5 million won on the player.

It was calculated that even if Song Min-gyu stayed still, he would naturally collapse if he increased his seed money.

It was possible because I had some confidence in gambling.

However, it took less than 10 seconds to realize that the thought was overly arrogant.

Song Min-gyu bet 5 million won on the player, just like the man.

“Actor Song, what kind of modification are you doing with this?”

Song Min-gyu said with a sneer on his lips.

“why? Can’t I bet on the same side of you as you bet against me every time?”

Sensing that the situation was wrong, the man’s voice began to tremble slightly.

“Dog, don’t play tricks.”

While Song Min-gyu and the man were arguing, the dealer who handed out the cards urged them on.

– I will open the card.

Song Min-gyu nervously flipped the card he had placed in front of him.

– Player Natural Eight.

Since no one bet on the banker, the dealer checks the cards.

Banker natural nine. Banker Win.

Both lost 5 million won each, but their expressions were opposite.

Song Min-gyu, who has become very relaxed.

A rat man with an expression as if the sky had collapsed.

The match was already over.

Song Min-gyu gestured to Manager Cha Hong-seok and said.

“I think the match is over, should we continue?”

Then the rat man said in a seizure.

“Keep… What’s the end? This is a scam! fraud!”

Song Min-gyu mocked the man with a calm tone.

“I will bet on the same place as you until the issue is over. Even if you lose everything, I will have 2 million won left, and if you win 200 million, I will win 202 million won. Does it make sense to go any further?”

Even if you don’t bet and hold on like this, according to the VIP rules, if there is no bet, the game is played with a free hand.

In that way, it was a game designed so that Song Min-gyu could only win the moment he succeeded in betting even one round.

In the first place, it made no sense to compete against players with a game designed to compete with a casino house.

Of course, Jihyeok provoking the man to make things go like this also played a big role.

Manager Cha Hong-seok said to the rat man.

“It seems to me that the match has been decided. Please decide whether to proceed with the game to the end or to end with customer Song Min-gyu’s victory.”

“Everyone, are you one too? How can a casino claim to endorse such a fraudulent game?”

“What are you talking about? Didn’t you win the first two games? If you had bet on the same place as actor Song Min-gyu from then on, this match would have ended with your victory. Would you still say it was a fraud in that situation?”

“That… that’s…”

To the man who could not refute, manager Cha Hong-seok declared as if reading a verdict.

“There was no fraud or deceit in this game. It was just a mistake from the customer who did not know that it was a single match from the beginning.”

“Well… but this is a scam. I will sue, sue! Does this make sense?”

Ji-hyeok threw the last offer to the man who refused to admit it until the end.

“If it’s so unfair, shall we make another bet?”

The man said while staring at Jihyeok with a bloody expression.

“Is this all what you did? you, i won’t let you go certainly······.”

“I bet 3 billion to let you play one more game, but you don’t seem to like it.”

“Who do you think will fall for your tricks again? They made me play a ridiculous game like this…”

Jihyuk smiled and said.

“If you don’t like the way it works, don’t do it this way. If you double the money you have now by the end of Shoo, I will give you 3 billion.”

“What, what?”

“Think carefully. It might be your only chance to make ends meet.”

Jihyeok was sure.

That the man in front of me would never refuse this offer.

***

From noble mtl dot com.

1 hour later.

The match ended more briskly than expected.

The rat man, who lost his temper at the thought of finding his money, lost all his remaining money in an instant, and gave all his last fortune to Ji-hyeok intact.

Meanwhile, Ji-hyeok and Song Min-gyu and the others headed to the Presidential Suite after being guided by manager Cha Hong-seok.

After the match, Kangwon Land, who had collected 600 million won in fees, would provide the highest quality rooms.

However, Cha Hong-seok’s attitude was not simply thanking him for paying a lot of fees.

“Thank you, Kang Ji-hyeok. In fact, there was a lot of talk within our casino because of the customer Kang Ji-hyeok was dealing with. Many customers left for overseas casinos because we continuously made reverse bets targeting VIP customers.”

Jihyuk frowned slightly and said.

“No matter how much it is a place that does business with human desires, the minimum duty has to be followed. If you see someone who should have been blacklisted earlier as a guest, there will be victims like actor Song Min-gyu.”

“you’re right. So thank you even more. However, we also had circumstances. Among the VVIP guests, there is an elderly person who is coming with that guest earlier.”

“Did you think there were more benefits than losses?”

Manager Cha Hong-seok surprisingly readily acknowledged it.

“I will not deny it. It was difficult for us to treat them carelessly as they were guests who brought a lot of other VIP-level guests. It was all the more so because there were even politicians and gangsters among them.”

Jihyeok turned his head and looked at the hallway.

“Is that old man, by any chance, that old man?”

“yes?”

After confirming the old man, Cha Hong-seok nodded and said.

“Yes, that’s right. Let’s go into the room. I will return them.”

Behind the old man were men with stern faces.

Among them was a rat man.

Did I mention that I lost some money?

Jihyuk laughed.

Cha Hong-seok urged Ji-hyeok and his party.

“Come on in. We’ll take care of it. Ah, this is the Presidential Suite. Security personnel on standby immediately…”

Manager Cha Hong-seok, who tried to call the security guard, was stopped by Ji-hyeok.

“All right. I know what to do. Others, please stay away for a while.”

“yes? It’s not possible. For your safety…”

“That’s right, Jihyeok. The expressions on those people’s faces are not serious.”

“Yes, Mr. Kang Ji-hyeok, let’s escape to the guest room for now.”

Jihyeok asked again with a rare serious expression.

“It’s because I don’t want to show it. Please avoid your seat. There are CCTV everywhere, what are you worried about? It’s okay, come in. I just want to talk.”

Then Cha Hong-seok stepped out.

“Then I will be by your side. The security guard will be here soon, so even until then I…”

“I do. Now then, you two go in.”

Seo-yeon and Song Min-gyu reluctantly entered the room, and the old man whom Cha Hong-seok called the old man approached right in front of Ji-hyeok before he knew it.

But for some reason, the old man just stared at Ji-hyeok’s face and didn’t say anything.

At that time, the rat man spoke first.

“Master, this is him. That guy swindled six billion of my money and took it. Master…”

“Be quiet.”

The old man couldn’t take his eyes off Ji-hyeok’s face for a long time even after he had his disciple quiet.

Likewise, Jihyeok stared at the old man’s face.

There was great tension, but neither Jihyeok nor the old man spoke first.

however······.

– Plop!

“sorry. The disciple has committed a great disrespect.”

Isn’t the old man kneeling down out of nowhere and bowing to Ji-hyeok?

“Forgive me just once. He was born to be pitiful, so he held on to his shoelaces so that he could at least earn a living. Please be generous.”

Jihyeok still looked at the old man without saying anything.

It was the rat man who was taken aback.

“Su… Master, why are you like this?”

“Shut up. If you want to live, get down right now.”

“Su, Master…”

“Can’t you hear me? Aren’t you going to lie down?”

Only then did Jihyeok slowly open his mouth.

“Stop getting up.”

“no. I will prostrate myself until you forgive me for the mistake of teaching my disciples.”

“Didn’t you come here with the intention of fighting with me? So stand up and say what you meant to say.”

Despite Jihyeok’s dissuade, the old man still lay face down with his head bowed.

Ji-hyeok was about to make a fuss, but when the old man in front of him ejaculated, he had no choice but to weaken.

“If you are a teacher and commit the same evil as a disciple, today I am going to cut all of your sinews.”

“I’m sorry.”

Jihyeok shook his head and said.

“go. Go and wash your hands and say good luck to your disciple. A ghost like me is a divine spirit, and accepting it is not helping.”

The old man’s answer did not show any concern.

“I will definitely do that. Thank you thank you.”

Jihyeok left the old man who was pouring out words of apology and went straight into the room.

***

Jihyeok entered the room and the old man slowly rose from his seat.

It is difficult for everyone, including Cha Hong-seok, to understand why the old man is acting like that.

The student, the rat man, asked the old man resentfully.

“Master, why are you like this? That guy stole six billion of my money.”

“Shut up. You must have lost something in a trick. Even just meeting that person and seeing you alive and well is a stroke of luck. As he said, if you cut your shoelaces, you would have become an idiot.”

“So who the heck is he? Can’t you see my spirit is trembling with anger?”

The old man said with a dejected smile.

“In your eyes, do you see that your spirit is angry?”

“Ah… are you saying no?”

“Stupid bastard. Right now, your spirit is trembling in fear. Do you think it’s easy for a minor deity like me to survive in front of the deity Sangje?”

“yes? Then… then the author…”

The old man nodded slowly and said.

“The mansin who came down to this land, he is the mansin who embraces the god of Sangje.”
