Three Birds with One Stone, Thoroughly Cleaning! (2)

Yu Jong-tae dropped his mouth open.

‘What money is that? The deposit received from Hyunmu Construction was put into the Myeongdong Jangsu Bank earlier.’

When Yu Jong-tae met eyes with Park Cheol-gu, he flinched.

From the footsteps to the gaze as if saying ‘I’m number one! Hard-headed Lieutenant Colonel!’ triumphant and confident.

The force was overflowing.

A man’s force originally comes from a plump pocket.

The quick-witted Yu Jong-tae forcibly closed the mouth that was about to open wide.

‘Surely, no way? There’s no way to win that much with small change. Does that make sense?’

Thud.

Park Cheol-gu sat on the prepared chair.

The professional gamblers subtly gestured with their eyes.

In the exchanging gazes, the question ‘who is this bastard?’ and the relief ‘fortunate’ were imbued together.

The madam regained a bit of leisure after confirming the guest’s face.

The madam put a new cigarette in her mouth and smiled brightly.

“What shall the item be? Poker? Hula? Baccarat? Or······.”

“Anything. As you like.”

“Oh my, a person as fiery as he looks. Cool. Then let’s start formally from poker. How about it?”

“That’s good.”

Rustle.

The madam shuffled the cards while sending an eye smile to the young master.

“Did you follow Dad to get a tip? You must be thirsty, shall sister order cider?”

“It’s fine.”

“It’s okay. You can drink. This is sister buying.”

“I decline things given for free in the gambling board.”

It was words of not even receiving a tip.

“If you don’t like cider, how about cola?”

“Stop the little tricks since I know it’s not goodwill without reason.”

“Oh my, little tricks? Even if I look like this, sister has high eyes? Your Dad is not my style······.”

“I’m saying to stop the thought of putting diarrhea medicine in the cider.”

The madam laughed ha ha ha.

“Oh my, if you say that, sister becomes quite embarrassed. I was going to use favor because you’re cute and ended up framed?”

“Good. Then I’ll take cider.”

“I knew it would be so. Pretending while liking it.”

“Instead, that cider is what sister drinks. Preferably in one shot.”

The madam laughed ha ha ha again.

“Actually, sister dislikes cider.”

“If you don’t like cider, drink cola or something.”

The madam’s hand movements pretending not to know while shuffling cards became clearly busier.

“Sister is on a diet.”

The quick-witted Yu Jong-tae grasped the meaning of the gazes exchanging between the other gamblers.

‘They were really going to put out drinks with diarrhea medicine in them?’

It was malice of shaking the opponent somehow.

‘Young Master, did you see through even that at a glance?’

But just now the young master’s eyes seemed to shine quite dangerously and insidiously.

Somehow it seemed like eyes that would win a lot more here.

Surely, no way?

* * *

The what-if caught a person.

No, it caught the house whole.

Yu Jong-tae dropped his mouth open.

‘Crazy! The scale is really enormous!’

Park Cheol-gu won everything he did regardless of poker, hula, baccarat, gostop, seotda.

Literally consecutive victories!

‘Is this possible? The opponents are professional gamblers?’

Already five gamblers who were caught using skills and expelled!

Park Cheol-gu caught fouls with an eerily easy manner.

‘Originally, because the stakes were so large, the tide completely tilted in just a few boards?’

Park Cheol-gu swept the chips in an armful.

Scraping with thick forearms like a rake, the chips overflowed to the extent that the word mountain was colorless.

It seemed like he scraped all the chips that were chips of the house.

“I won again?”

On the other hand, not a single chip remained on the gamblers’ table.

Except for the madam, the gamblers were all in underwear and socks.

Because chips were insufficient, they hung the watches they were wearing as well as the clothes they were wearing and fought and ruined magnificently.

“I’ll write an IOU quickly and get more chips!”

“This time I’ll definitely win! So one more board!”

“I’ll hang my wrist, so please just one more board!”

The professional gamblers clung shabbily.

The madam also put out all the various ornaments she had hanging and became a simple appearance long ago.

But she alone, instead of clinging meanly, straightened her waist and glared at Uncle Cheol-gu.

“I’ll hang one night! So let’s do just one more board!”

Upon knowing, the madam was the same as the other gamblers whose eyes had turned.

“Let’s reverse with this one board!”

“Just one board is enough! Anyway, life is one shot!”

It was the words that the professional gamblers had been chanting like a spell while making crying sounds since earlier.

On the other hand, the house managers ran busily moving their legs.

“Chips! Chips are insufficient! Bring more chips!”

“Damn it! Scraped even the chips in the safe all clean!”

“No good! It’s an unprecedented emergency! Only the boss can resolve this!”

* * *

I looked at the entrance leisurely.

It should appear slowly now?

Rustle!

Horse Head ran through the bead-strung feet like a bullet.

“Who are you?”

The quick-witted security guard, the self-proclaimed number two, who volunteered to be my limb and shouted that he would definitely perform the entrusted mission, Yu Jong-tae stood up abruptly quickly.

“I, Yu Jong-tae, brought the invitation!”

“Errand runner, you stay out!”

Horse Head snorted while glaring fiercely at Uncle Cheol-gu.

It was a state of extreme anger with killing intent and hostility piercing the sky, literally.

Regardless.

Uncle Cheol-gu stood up from his seat smiling innocently.

“The business is also finished, shall I go now?”

“Where are you going! Sit!”

Horse Head grabbed a gambler’s collar and pulled him out then occupied the chair.

He sat on the opposite side of Uncle Cheol-gu.

“Coming might have been at your will, but going you have to receive my permission. Sit!”

“Why do I have to receive your permission when I’m going on my own feet? Did I owe a debt? You give the money!”

Uncle Cheol-gu pointed to the chips piled on the table.

“Let’s settle ours definitely.”

He would have scraped all the chips that were chips of the house.

Even if Horse Head’s cash mobilization power is good, can he settle all this within today?

To settle that, how many safes of the gambling dens made across Seoul would he have to clean?

I was also curious about this.

“You, you this bastard······!”

Horse Head trembled the corners of his mouth.

“If the game is over, the settlement has to be definite. That’s the credit of the gambling den. I receive definitely, and give out definitely.”

I also know.

Accurate settlement is the iron rule of the gambling den, and credit.

The gambling den doesn’t properly pay the money won?

Then gamblers cut off their footsteps at once.

To not have the money line cut off, Horse Head also had to settle definitely.

‘Settlement is certain but all other means and methods are so dirty and filthy that it’s a problem. Did the bad name stick for nothing?’

I’ve seen this gentleman for several years, would I not know that.

“Dirtily lucky spotted bear, let’s properly stick with me today!”

Horse Head was a born gambler.

He placed the bundle of documents he brought on the table with a thud.

“It’s the house’s land documents and debt documents received from gamblers. I’ll hang everything on this game.”

“Even hanging all that, it seems you can’t settle these chips?”

“I’ll hang cows too, dogs too, chickens too! Anyway, if it’s the property of this house, I’ll hang anything.”

“Even so, it seems far from enough?”

He just brought even the chips in the safe.

Even if the cash mobilization power is good, he won’t be able to exchange all this.

The limit of the cash operated in the gambling den clearly existed.

Thud!

“I’ll hang the Hyochang-dong, Sinsa-dong, Mugyo-dong houses too.”

“Oh!”

I lightly hit Uncle Cheol-gu with my elbow.

Still far. Have to rip more.

Understanding the promised signal, Uncle Cheol-gu made a frown.

“Even so, it seems like breaking even?”

“Receive and add Insadong, Seongbuk-dong, Sinseol-dong, Ojang-dong!”

Good! Finally came up to here!

Normally, he wouldn’t have shown his capital at all.

Horse Head whose pride was crumpled as much as it could be resolved to bet heartily.

“Boss, no!”

“If you lose? How many houses will fly away!”

The madam and the gamblers turned pale and stopped Horse Head.

But Horse Head who entered the battle stance flashed a gaze full of madness.

“Just win! Just earn! Life reversal in one match! That’s the rule of this field!”

The guys who were stopping closed their mouths tightly.

It was right words.

They also acted not much different from Horse Head in front of the gambling board.

Horse Head smiled.

“Instead, it’s all-in every board. Call?”

Uncle Cheol-gu also smiled.

“Call!”

Uncle Cheol-gu glanced at his wristwatch.

“But. I have an appointment so it seems I can’t accompany you long.”

“Best of three! Best of three is enough to gauge the opponent’s skill and decide the match.”

Uncle Cheol-gu glanced at me.

I winked one eye.

‘Since the big fish bit the bait hard, let’s thoroughly clean properly once!’

With gambling skills and number fights, eye fights, it’s hard to win against Horse Head.

But on our side, there was an enormous hidden card.

[Leave it to me this time too.]

The underworld messenger standing behind Horse Head reading the cards and informing.

Even so, do I seem like I’ll lose?

Uncle Cheol-gu grinned.

“Best of three. Good. Call!”

“Then shall we start the game?”

In that way, the gambling board was held.

* * *

“······This shit!”

“I won again?”

Three-board sweep!

Uncle Cheol-gu swept the gamblers’ debt documents and house land documents in an armful.

Thud.

Horse Head grabbed Uncle Cheol-gu’s wrist.

The guy twitched his eyebrows and growled.

“Wait. Stop the action.”

Horse Head shouted while trembling.

“Let’s do one more board!”

Whether gamblers, professional gamblers, or the owner of the gambling den.

Anyway, why are the sounds they make all similar.

Uncle Cheol-gu glanced at his wristwatch.

“The appointment time is up. From now on, it’s settlement time.”

“The game isn’t over yet. If you don’t want to see your child die, sit immediately!”

Horse Head smiled meanly.

“With all-in every board! If you lose, I’ll send you safely. So choose.”

Uncle Cheol-gu hardened his expression.

“Why did the words change?”

“The game isn’t over yet. So this is not a settlement problem but a choice problem. For reference, I don’t settle for guys who die while gaming.”

Before he knew it, the madam and the professional gamblers had disappeared.

“That’s why you should have cleaned moderately and stopped skillfully. Let’s not say we didn’t know the matter would become like this.”

The house managers locked the gambling den door.

“Bear, after dying and being buried in the wild mountain, what’s the use of all this money? Trying to use it as Yellow Springs path travel money? Choose. Money or life?”

I clicked my tongue.

‘I knew it would be like this. Anyway, a dirty guy.’

Uncle Cheol-gu also clicked his tongue.

“This was a bastard I can’t associate with? Do you do business like this? Noisy. Settle properly.”

“I said the game isn’t over yet.”

It was then.

Waaah!

Exactly matching the appointment time, the siren sound rang out.

I had promised Uncle Cheol-gu before entering the gambling den.

-I’ll tell you the secret method of three birds with one stone that can thoroughly clean those guys’ pockets too, thoroughly clean this gambling den too, and thoroughly clean Horse Head’s mentality too.

Since I thoroughly cleaned those guys’ pockets until now, now it was the turn to thoroughly clean this gambling den.

Our Uncle Cheol-gu is a person who is patriotic.

He can’t pretend not to see even if he sees an illegal private gambling den that harms this country.

So what can I do. Have to report according to the law.

Bang bang bang!

Outside, they urgently knocked on the locked door and shouted.

“Boss, a big problem occurred! Police are gathering enormously now!”

“No need to panic. I bought all the jurisdictional police around here.”

“It seems all the police that are police have mobilized! Even the flags of heavily armed police special forces are visible!”

“What?”

Yes. I put in a call to Secretary Kim in advance.

Asking to move the police chief a bit.

There was value in guessing the expected time.

“Turn on the car engines first! Everyone scatter and flee!”

“The engines don’t start! All the wires are cut, and all the tires are punctured! What do we do now!”

The game is over.

Then shall we start the settlement from now?
