Stuck in The Tower

Episode 664 Ambition:

It wasn’t difficult to get into the big black hook.

Because the head of the headquarters, Dreckfree, was a person who never betrayed trust.

‘At least when the other person is valuable.’

It was nice to see their surprise when I first showed up.

I don’t know because I haven’t seen the head chef yet, but wouldn’t he have a similar reaction?

anyway.

“It’s nice to see you like this, Paul Victon.”

“You really came back alive. “I thought he wasn’t an ordinary person, but I never thought he would be like this.”

“I trusted you, brother!”

Private loan and distribution business managed by Drexfree.

As soon as I got there, I found these two guys.

After going to the Altar of Blood and taking a short break, quite a bit of time passed as I planned and prepared for the future.

I didn’t know, but it seemed like at least 15 days had passed since I entered and left the Altar of Blood.

If I roughly organize the time.

‘That means about three weeks have passed since I went to the Altar of Blood.’

It might not be that long.

However, it is time for those who have just come in to read the general atmosphere.

Isn’t this Paul, who worked as a broker in a garbage town?

Since he had Victon as his subordinate, he must have wandered around within the permitted range.

“There was nothing special. “It’s an ordinary loan business.”

There was no major problem except that the interest rate was murderous.

It’s not like he’s holding a knife and threatening to borrow money.

Everyone came here because they needed it, only to end up in debt.

Here’s the part I’m interested in.

‘Before, Dreck Free used people who owed money as bodyguards.’

He has a group of armed forces that he can use in addition to his gang members.

A group of debtors.

I know because I saw it myself.

I don’t know, but he was much stronger than most gang members.

“I want to know about debt collectors. “Is there a list?”

“If it’s a business I manage.”

Paul turns over the list without saying anything.

There’s no reason to complain.

Although he left in the middle, I joined the organization before him.

I know what kind of guy I am.

More than anything.

“It will be easy to secure a list if you go to another business. “Because you are the deputy general manager.”

To top it all off, Drexfree gave me the position of deputy general manager.

There was opposition from executives, but what were they going to do?

If the general manager says so, then do it.

In addition to that.

“Evil Eye, can I eat this?”

“Don’t ask questions while you’re already eating.”

“This is Paul. “I heard he was quite famous in the garbage town, but I never thought he would come here.”

Choco Choco and Tralow also joined my team.

At first, I tried to disperse them, perhaps to keep me in check.

‘These are the kids I brought with me. How are you going to disperse them?’

Rather, it would have been better if they had spread out.

Because I can stick my people here and there.

Dreckfree also knew that and agreed.

To be precise, this was a conclusion reached after consulting with someone who appears to be his confidant.

When I saw him, he seemed like a very trustworthy person.

The name is probably.

‘It was McDalton, right?’

It would be nice to know how to appease this guy.

Since he is my closest associate, it may be helpful in dealing with dreck free in the future.

Let’s think about this later.

Because it’s not a necessary part.

-Charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I looked at the list.

The face, a brief description, the amount borrowed, the abilities the guy has, etc.

“There are several ways to cancel debt. “You can either repay the money or serve with your own abilities.”

“Those who are capable choose the latter.”

“That’s right. “The treatment is good there.”

okay.

This part was strange.

He runs a private loan business, but he doesn’t just pursue money.

Rather, it is closer to using debt to find useful talent.

Isn’t it true just by looking at me right now?

If you have the skills, you can become a partner.

He even came to the garbage town after hearing that he had abilities.

The question that arises here.

‘Why is he trying to gather his people so much?’

It was a suspicion that existed before.

“Look at this?”

As I looked at the list, I saw one possibility.

That’s it for now.

There is still work to be done.

Because Dreck Free ordered something else.

At the same time, I went to other workplaces and looked at the lists.

I moved quickly.

About a day passed like that.

“Ugh cha. Would you like to try moving?

I went outside with Choco Choco and Tralow.

“Is it okay for a guy called the Deputy Headquarters Manager to walk around like this?”

“Because Drekfree also agreed to it.”

Deputy Headquarters Manager.

At first glance, it appears to be helping the head of the department or shouldering part of his work.

Genealogically speaking, he is directly subordinate to him.

There is one difference.

‘I’m not tied down to a place of business or anything like that.’

Inspectors.

That is my mission externally.

In reality, it means being free to do what you want.

Since there were no seats available yet, I was told to walk around and check out the overall atmosphere and work.

-I have something to solve.

He came to me separately and made a secret request.

At first, I thought they were going to make me do something big.

-Quaaang!

“Everyone, come out!”

“Damn it! “It’s a security guard!”

“Run! “Where did the bastard who was watching go!”

Surprisingly, it was simple to do.

Go to the place you want and make a suitable debt collector.

“Aren’t they the security forces?”

“It’s a black hook!”

“It’s gambling without a permit in our territory. “You’re not afraid.”

They invade a gambling house that was being run secretly and set up a racket.

“You came from a private loan business! “Gambling isn’t their jurisdiction!”

-Kwasik!

I flattened the snout of the guy who was talking.

It’s a gambling place.

okay. Gambling places are not the domain of drag-free.

Because that part is managed by another head.

It may be a bit far-fetched, but there is a justification.

First of all, this is an area managed by Black Hook.

and.

“It is our role to release gambling funds.”

All kinds of people gather in gambling halls.

There are many people who have lost everything and borrow money by scraping together everything they have.

Of course, there was a wallet owner in a gambling house who would lend money in exchange for collateral.

“Only we can lend money.”

Drexfree is a private loan shark that manages money circulating in the shadows.

It is clearly an act of invading our business.

“This should be within the acceptable range!”

“Then consider yourself unlucky.”

The owner of the gambling house shouted as if he was aggrieved, but what is it?

So who wants to gamble illegally?

No matter what he said, we quickly demolished the gambling house and confiscated the money and goods inside.

Beat up those who don’t listen.

“Everything is ruined because of you! “I could have won this time!”

I looked at the target of this incident.

A big man.

Just looking at its muscular body is intimidating, but when it frowns and roars, it almost makes you think it’s a monster.

What can I say?

I should say that I feel closer to a warrior in the wild than to a city.

I glanced at the guy’s card that had fallen to the floor.

“…I think I would have lost even if I had just done that.”

I don’t know much about poker, but I know that one pair is a low pedigree.

“It was a one pair after 4 rounds!”

okay. Let’s not talk.

You have to be so unlucky to get a pair in 4 rounds.

At this level, you can just say that it was done by outsiders.

Come to think of it.

‘Tazza must have been stabbed by Drekfree as well.’

He’s a guy who tries to get what he wants at any cost, so there’s a good chance he’ll get it.

That’s probably why he asked me to let those who didn’t resist run away.

in short.

‘It means that we worked hard to recruit that guy.’

I have already confirmed the personal information about him.

Still, you never know.

[The SSS level power, Eye that Watches the Stars, is unleashed!]

-Tsuzuzuzuzu.

[Ule Victor]

– NPC on the 95th floor.

-This is the Blue Mane Tribal Chief!

-I have a strong competitive spirit, but I’m a little bit intelligent…

-But I’m still persistent!

Was he really a tribal leader and not just what he appeared to be?

I thought there was a reason why I couldn’t escape from the gambling den.

That’s it though.

“You are coming with us. Even if you are in debt, you won’t keep your mouth shut.”

“Why should I pay you back?”

“That’s because the money that came in here was our money.”

It’s not a lie.

Most of the funds going back came from Drexfree.

He frowns as if he knows that too.

“If I had just won it, I could have paid it back!”

“How much would you have earned if you won?”

“It’s a whopping 2,000 lian!”

“…You borrowed 21,000 lian. After that, it was done. “Follow me.”

If I talk more, I think I’ll only be at a loss.

You should talk to someone you can communicate with.

I have no intention of doing any harm to him, and he seems confident in fighting, so he follows us in silence.

I wish you could put down the cards you’re holding in your hand.

no. Let’s just take it.

“Where are we going?”

“A place to work until the debt is paid off.”

“I can’t do difficult things.”

“are you okay. “Because I’m going to make you do what you’re good at.”

for example.

“I think I’d be good at breaking things. Am I right?”

He raises his eyebrows at my question.

“Of course!”

That answer is refreshing and nice.

With this, one of Drexfree’s requests was processed.

Besides this guy, we need to bring three more people.

They are all powerful guys.

What they have in common is that there is no backstory.

The same thing happened when I looked at the list of other private loan companies, including Paul.

The guy was gathering all his strength.

Is that all?

‘There are also blacksmiths, merchants and other people mixed in.’

For example, a person whose business collapsed midway.

A person who fell into some kind of scheme and had a building or item taken as collateral taken away.

I became confident after checking that I had purchased food and supplies separately.

Dreck free, this guy.

“You are preparing for war.”

It was not difficult to find out who the target was.

black hook.

I am not the only one who wants to become the owner of that place.

Maybe you want to get more.

When I saw that they had established relationships with soybean merchants and underground shopping malls.

‘I want to absorb all three major organizations.’

That’s how I see it.

Because we won’t attack wealthy people.

There’s a security guard there.

This also explains why they have built up a good relationship with the security forces.

Let’s not worry about what happens in the back world.

This is it.

“I like it very much.”

It wasn’t intentional, but the purpose is the same.

You could be a good partner.

The reason I wanted to eat the black hook was simple.

The wealth and power to go to a wealthy village.

Information power to find Pahiru.

A route that leads to the Altar of Blood.

Because it was to obtain these three things.

In other words, if you can have these, everything else is fine.

A relationship where each person can get what they want.

Isn’t that really a partner?

Sometimes I have a cause.

‘They said that was the place where they came out of the Blood Altar and attacked.’

You said little finger, I guess?

It is the law of the underworld to retaliate if you are attacked accidentally.

If you stay still even after getting hit once, you look shallow.

And I am the deputy general manager of Black Hook.

“If I go somewhere and get beaten up, the organization’s reputation will be tarnished, right?”

“…I don’t think you’re going to get hit anywhere?”

Choco Choco said something, but I ignored it.

Tralowman’s eyes flashed as he realized what I meant.

“Of course. “If an executive-level person gets hit, he or she becomes a laughing stock.”

That’s right.

He was also attacked.

Aside from that, it seems like he hates the little finger organization.

“I’ll ask for Choco Choco and the others.”

“You can do that, but what about you?”

“To get revenge on those who briefly hit me.”

“I don’t know who they are, but they are poor people. “Go and come back.”

I left Choco Choco coolly behind and went out onto the street with Tralow.

“Do you know where the little finger is?”

“of course. “I used to belong there too.”

Is that so? That’s a fact I didn’t know.

“They are also the ones who betrayed me.”

“Good.”

Because the answer is to erase bad feelings.

In addition, they also gave gifts for the integration of Drex Free’s three major organizations.

They’ll be happy if they destroy one organization.

For a moment, I thought I might have overinterpreted it.

All Dreckfree wants is to eat a black hook.

But what is it?

‘Even if I don’t like it, I’ll have to do it that way from now on.’

Since ancient times, one had to have great ambitions.

The time has come for ambition injector Evileye to make her move.
