“My god!
Hyung-nim, what kind of state is this?
What bastards did this?
I’ll catch them and beat them all to death.”
“I’m fine.”
Contrary to his words, Oh Gap-su’s appearance was a mess.
His once-handsome face was covered in bloody bruises here and there, and his torn suit was stained with blood.
Son Gil-seop smacked his lips, stepped outside, and pulled out his ID to show the detective in charge as he spoke.
“I’m from the National Intelligence Service.
What happened here?”
“He lost all his money in a game and started causing a scene, so the security guards dragged him in.”
“Are the security guards at this casino thugs?”
“…”
“Where is the sense in beating a person to that state?
Aren’t they the ones who should be locked up?”
“You won’t be saying that once you see the recorded footage.”
The detective in charge turned his computer monitor around and played the video capturing the situation at the time.
It started with the scene of Oh Gap-su flipping the table and beginning to cause a disturbance.
The dealer and customers dodged in surprise, and security guards rushed over to stop him, but Oh Gap-su’s rampage didn’t cease.
No matter how much of a delinquent he was, Oh Gap-su was still an official agent of Office 39.
When one or two weren’t enough, they rushed him in a swarm, grabbing Oh Gap-su and pinning him to the floor.
However, Oh Gap-su didn’t stop resisting until the very end, swinging his fists and feet.
Security guards are human too.
When hit, it hurts and makes them angry.
They, too, began throwing punches.
The detective in charge said.
“It only looks like he caused a scene on purpose just to get beaten up.”
Son Gil-seop shared the same thought.
“That friend is a North Korean defector.
He is currently experiencing the growing pains of adapting to reality.”
“…”
“I’ll take him and give him a good talking-to, so let’s handle this quietly.”
“If you do that, I’d be grateful.
You just need to sign here.”
Thanks to the swift processing by the detective, who was glad to avoid bothersome work, Son Gil-seop easily got Oh Gap-su out and took him to a nearby restaurant to feed him first.
Oh Gap-su, who had acted like a guy who had given up on life, emptied a bowl of gukbap cleanly, contrary to their concerns.
Son Gil-seop said.
“Didn’t I tell you before?
Life here wouldn’t be as easy as you thought.”
“I came down here to confirm that.”
“You really are…”
Unlike Son Gil-seop, who clicked his tongue, Jo Cheol-jung was still in an agitated state.
“Which casino is it?
I’ll go right now and tear those bastards apart.”
“Forget it.
After getting beaten up, I feel completely refreshed inside.”
Son Gil-seop said.
“I heard how you’ve been living lately.
Forget about your life in North Korea and accept this place.
I’ll look into getting you a job.”
