Chapter 150
#150. hey.
“Really?”
“Yes, just assuming that the swordsman will help.”
“If you need my help, is there a princess who urgently needs a swordsman?”
Based on past life experiences, Limon has drawn out the most plausible reasoning.
Li Qingyu is an exception.
If the princess of the Seven Dragons was going to borrow the power of her enemy, there was nothing else that came to mind.
“No, to be precise, what is needed is not the power of a swordsman…”
Knock.
Li Qingyu, who had a more subtle expression after hearing Limon’s words, was about to explain the details.
A light knock was heard.
“I’m sorry, princess, I’m on break, but can you excuse me for a moment?”
“…what else happened?”
“It’s not particularly important, but there’s something I need to tell the swordsman.”
“To me?”
Having received permission from the puzzled Li Mon and Li Qingyu, Youin entered the drawing room and took out two photos from her bosom and held them out.
“Do you know these two?”
“ok? Why do you have pictures of them?”
“I came across this by accident while chasing after the traces of that customer, Eugene, but…”
Looking at the photo of the live cafe president Jung and producer Kim Seung-joon, Yo In showed off, Limon made an unexpected expression.
I couldn’t figure out why they were showing pictures of people who had no chance to meet since Eugene died.
To Limon who was so puzzled, Yoin said with a serious face.
“Anyway, it seems that these two are in a pretty complicated situation because of the swordsman and his guest.”
* * *
The live cafe where Eugene worked.
There, President Jeong and PD Kim Seung-joon were facing each other with a dark, dead face.
“Senior, are you still unable to contact Yujin?”
“If I had contacted you, would I be doing this?”
“No, what did you do without knowing any contact information? Isn’t it a matter of course that you have to know the contact information of part-timers?”
“Hey kid! If you put it that way, you, who introduced Miss Yujin, should know her contact information!”
“I was thinking of digging it out from seniors later.”
“Did you, you bastard, recommend Eugene as our part-time job?!”
For a while, he made a grim expression as if he would grab Kim Seung-jun by the collar and shake him off.
Jung immediately sighed.
“Let’s quit later. Quit it. It’s not going to be solved by beating you up now.”
President Jung gulps down only cold water to cool his boiling stomach.
Feeling apologetic after seeing that scene, Kim Seung-joon secretly avoided his eyes.
Although there was no direct fault, it was because he introduced Yu-jin to President Jung anyway.
“What about that young man who is Eugene’s friend? At least I should talk to that friend.”
“Do you think that I, who don’t even know Eugene’s phone number, would know Mr. Lee’s phone number?”
“…I’m proud of you, man.”
Jung shook his head roughly.
I had to talk to Eugene to somehow resolve this situation, but suddenly she didn’t come to work without contacting me.
He was suddenly struck by lightning, and his stomach was about to explode.
Was it because he was afraid that he would get angry?
Kim Seung-joon, who had been carefully watching President Jung’s notice, carefully raised a suspicion.
“By the way, senior, isn’t the timing odd?”
“What timing?”
“It was at this time that I lost contact with Miss Eugene. Is it really a coincidence?”
“If not by chance, what? Do you really suspect that he might have kidnapped Miss Eugene?”
“Even if it wasn’t kidnapping, something could have been done.”
President Jeong snorted at Seungjun Kim’s conspiracy theory.
“He’s doing this because of Miss Eugene, so what does he get from doing that behind the scenes again?”
“I tried contacting her, and if Yujin-yang just ignored everything and shouted ‘My Way’, it might be like that, right?”
“Hey, make some noise. No matter how much Eugene is an eccentric who only knows how to sing, and even if he has a flawed personality, do you have to go that far?”
“…Senior, since you’re talking about yourself now, aren’t you worried because you think there’s a lot of potential?”
“…is it obvious?”
“Your eyes are swaying like California when you’re a spirit.”
“shit!”
At Kim Seung-joon’s cool point, President Chung gave up pretending to be calm any longer.
Then he asked anxiously, his legs trembling openly.
“What? Should I call the police?”
“The police won’t even be able to cross the WIM threshold.”
“Why is there such a thing as PAB! A place that specializes in arresting only players.”
“Didn’t you see the news that they disbanded a while ago?”
“Then what do you say to me!”
“I’m not saying what to do, just calm down. After all, it’s not certain that Chief Moon played a trick on Miss Yujin, right?”
“Hey kid! Are you going to pour your worries into a drum and say that?!”
Just like the constellation that descended like that, when President Jung, mad like that, couldn’t stand it and grabbed Kim Seung-jun by the collar and robbed him of everything.
The cafe door, which had been tightly closed, opened lightly.
“No business today. Please come back next time!”
Is it the nature of a merchant?
Hearing the sound of the door opening like a ghost, President Jung politely followed the customer while robbing Kim Seung-jun.
In my heart, while grumbling at the impatience of the customer who ignored the [CLOSE] sign and entered.
“okay? Shall we just go back then?”
“…!?”
But the moment I actually heard the customer’s voice.
President Jung looked back at the entrance like lightning, putting his sullen attitude from a moment ago to shame.
It was the voice that he and Kim Seung-joon had been waiting for so long that even if they died, they wouldn’t know.
“Lee, where did you come from and what did you do now!?”
bang!
Is it because the pleasure was too much?
Limon murmured nervously as he watched the situation in which Seung-jun Kim, who was holding him, was thrown upside down on the floor and greeted him.
“…if you were murdering, shouldn’t you have locked the door? Witnesses who see something so stern for no reason will be embarrassed.”
* * *
“I will report it. I will report it for attempted murder….”
“Chief Geo. What is an attempted murder with a slight bump on the head? An attempted murder.”
“Are you saying that right now, driving a normal person upside down on the bare floor like a pile driver?!”
“Ke-hum, that might be the case if people get excited.”
“You’re going to kill a real person if you get excited twice?!”
Watching the two chattering with excitement, Yuna-kyung inadvertently opened her beak.
[…I didn’t know it before, but looking at it like this, I feel a sense of kinship with PD Kim Seung-joon.
]
[Ummm, is that so?]
When Yuna-kyung tilted her head at the lump on Kim Seung-joon’s head.
Limon lightly tapped the table to get their attention.
“Hey, you two there. It’s nice to talk to each other, but didn’t I have some business?”
“Oh right!”
“Hey, do you know where Miss Eugene is and what she is doing? huh?”
Only then did he seem to remember why he had been waiting for Limon.
The two frantically ask about Eugene.
Looking at their faces where worry, hope, anxiety and expectation intersect exquisitely, Limon opened his mouth after a moment of silence.
“He went to America.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“Why are you suddenly going to America?!”
“That guy was originally a wanderer. It’s time to go, so I guess I just went.”
Limon answered quietly.
That Eugene was a criminal.
That’s why he killed himself.
It was a story that would not be good for each other even if the two people, the ordinary cafe owner and the PD, recognized each other.
“My God.”
“Even if the timing is bad, how can it be this bad…”
But the news from Limon was enough to make the two’s faces change like Munch’s screams.
Limon calmly asked the two people who were in despair as if the world had ended.
“why? If Eugene isn’t there, what’s the big deal?”
“If there is no big problem, it is already a problem.”
Kim Seungjun tried to explain the situation with a sigh.
Unless another guest came just in time.
“Ha ha ha! Boss, is the business going well?”
A man wearing sunglasses bursts open the door of the cafe with loud laughter.
Mun Chun-yeop of the WIM Guild looked around the empty cafe and pretended to be surprised when he saw Limon.
“Oh, isn’t this Mr. Lee? I couldn’t find it no matter how much I looked for it, so I didn’t expect to come across it by chance in a place like this.”
‘Coincidence is a piece of shit.’
Seungjun Kim murmured inwardly.
Over the past few days, Moon Chun-yeop had been to the cafe dozens of times to find Limon and Yu-jin.
whether you know that fact or not.
Limon looked at Moon Cheon-yeop with a calm face.
“You found me? why?”
“Oh, it’s nothing special. I have something to tell you.”
It seems like he was waiting for that question.
Moon Chun-yeop took out a briefcase from the briefcase he was holding and held it out.
“Here is the lawsuit.”
“….”
“It is still being processed by the court, but it will pass anyway, so I will give it to you first in the sense of looking for a lawyer.”
Mun Cheon-yeop lightly presents a lawsuit as if it were a wedding invitation.
However, Limon was neither surprised nor embarrassed when he saw the unexpected gift.
I just asked coldly.
“I don’t remember doing anything that deserved a lawsuit?”
It was not wrong.
Limon Aspelder was the only one who had committed treason and held the president hostage.
At most, all he did as Lee was playing the guitar with the murderer of the Liberation Brigade.
Looking at Limon, Mun Chun-yeop said with regret.
“Unfortunately, it has been reported that the self-composed song used by Mr. Lee and Mr. Yujin for the performance is very similar to the song registered by WIM’s exclusive composer.”
“Are you saying we plagiarized your song?”
“Oh, you can’t say such dangerous words easily. Isn’t it a matter of life as a musician?”
I wondered how the songs could be similar.
Without mentioning exactly who made whose song similar, Moon Cheon-yeop glanced back at President Jeong.
“Of course, even if it was plagiarized, it could be passed if it was not used commercially, but since Eugene performed here and got paid.”
“It was just a part-time job excluding performance fees!”
“Oh, you have to insist on crying. Does it make sense that they ordered the performance and paid for it, but not the performance fee?”
“Turn it off.”
At the reasonable argument, President Jeong gave a sound of pain.
Because Eugene hated earning money through singing, he signed a twisted contract like this, but looking at it objectively, it was really perfect nonsense.
“Of course, President Jung may have done this without knowing, but if you don’t want to be accused of tax evasion, please cooperate with the investigation.”
‘Hey you bastard! That tax evasion suspicion has already been covered up by you!’
President Jeong swallowed the words that protruded all the way to his throat.
“It’s good to be careful, too, PD Kim. Wouldn’t it be bad if rumors spread that you were trying to hire a musician who plagiarized someone else’s song as the main character of a new program?”
‘This XX has XXXX XX!’
Likewise, Kim Seung-jun, who had already spread rumors, also poured out curses in his heart.
However, even though President Jung and Seung-jun Kim gnashed their teeth, they could not argue with Moon Cheon-yeop.
Even if that were the case, it was obvious that Moon Chun-yeop would pretend that it had nothing to do with him as before, and instead, the pressure they would receive would only intensify.
In addition, Moon Cheon-yeop, who runs a huge guild called Midas, had that much power.
In the first place, being a high-level player was an existence in the sky that ordinary players could not resist.
Moon Cheon-yeop put on a satisfied expression as if he was satisfied with the two of them.
Then he looked back at Limon and gave him a strange smile.
“It’s unfortunate. If Eugene Yang and Mr. Lee had signed a contract with our guild, they wouldn’t have gotten caught up in a plagiarism dispute like this.”
Limon, who had been silently watching Mun Chun-hyeop’s actions with his arms crossed, opened his mouth in a languid voice.
“…In short, is this what you mean? If you don’t want to see something worse, you want to get down and pray right now?”
“Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh? It’s just that if there’s a way to make things better for each other, let’s find out.”
That ‘good way’ has been decided, so Limon and Eugene just need to shut up and sign the contract.
If another ‘bad way’ is chosen, not only the two of them, but also President Eom Han-jung and Kim Seung-joon will be put into trouble in many ways.
For a moment, look at Moon Cheon-yeop, who is elated and comprehensible, as if he doesn’t even think about rejecting it.
Limon quietly opened his mouth.
“hey.”
