Hoarding in Hell Novel

A black van driving along a quiet national road stopped at a farmhouse on the outskirts.

The person sitting on the window sill on the second floor of the farmhouse disappeared after confirming that the van had arrived.

Song Yeo-woon and Seo Ji-hoo forcibly pulled down Robert Lee, who was sitting in the backseat of the car.

Robert Lee, who had a sack of artillery over his head, grunted and was dragged away as he pulled.

"Damn it. I have feet, so can you just let me walk a little? Unless she cut off my leg before I saw her."

Song Yeo-Woon looked at Robert Lee with a puzzled expression on her face, and then turned to Seo Ji-Hoo with a thirsty expression. But Serge Hu resolutely shook her head.

"Why? You said you don't need four or five legs?"

"But you can't cut off the leg of the guy who surrendered. We'll loosen up the guard a little later, so if you think he's running away, aim for it. That's self-defense."

"Wait, don't you say things like that when I'm not listening?"

Robert Lee was horrified to hear of a conspiracy to create a situation suitable for amputation of his leg.

He may have actually returned the warning that he was not going to run away, but it seemed clear that he would not hesitate to amputate his leg if the situation were to arise.

"I'll finish it later and get up within tonight. Although I've come as far as I can, the police will also expand the search scope.

The United States becomes sensitive when the capable person begins to engage in crime. It was better to finish quickly before getting caught up in unnecessary quarrels. So, two large vehicles were mobilized for this operation.

Seo Ji-hoo dragged Robert Lee into the warehouse.

The inside of the warehouse smelled like dried dung, which must have been used as a barn. Robert Lee was thrown over it.

Robert Lee said, spitting the straw that got into his mouth.

"I think we should learn to treat our guests more politely. He's the most expensive body ever."

"It's impossible to be more respectful than this now."

"First of all, tell me why you came. Looking at the racial union, is it the son of Senator Kim Seong-hong? Or the Jang Heung-deok faction? Is it because of the Imperial Tower?"

"It looks like there are quite a few stabbing corners."

"It's only that luxurious information. My consultation fee is quite expensive, so be aware."

Song Yeo-Woon, who had vacated her seat at that time, returned.

Her hands were full of towels, water bottles, car batteries, tongs and saws, and all kinds of tools.

After seeing this, Robert Lee was silent for a moment, then barely opened his mouth.

"Aha, I guess she's trying to interrogate me and get information from you while soothing and comforting me. It's a good police bad police strategy, so she seems to know how to do some interrogation..."

“No, we are both bad cops. You will be tortured non-stop.”

Robert Lee fell into silence again. After rolling his eyes for a while, he opened his mouth again.

“…I am expensive, but sometimes I do volunteer work for the Korean community for free. What do you want to know?”

“What is it, Seo Ji-hoo? Did the fun part have already ended while I was away?”

"No. The torture hasn't even started. He's just flirting on his own."

While Song Yeo-Woon set up her gear, Seo Ji-Hoo sat across from her and ran her tablet PC. In the meantime, Robert Lee continued talking as if trying to convince him, but no one listened.

Song Yeo-woon put Robert Lee's feet in her water bottle and then tapped Seo Ji-hoo's shoulder with an uneasy expression.

"Basic setup is over. Question first, or torture first?"

"No, wait. You need to know what the question is to answer or not, so why do you want to torture yourself first?"Seo Ji-hoo and Song Yeo-woon looked at Robert Lee with an annoyed expression.

"I'd do it anyway..."

"Even if you look so fine, we're in trouble."

“I meant to leave it as it was, covered in blood. Shall we dig one more time?”

“Let’s hit one and leave the rest to the manager.”

Song Yeo-woon and Seo Ji-hoo spoke after a light conversation.

"Wait, don't..."

"Eat lightly. It's good if you don't look good. Would you think that what we're doing is more beneficial than what we do?"

Despite Robert Lee's reluctance, Song Yeo-Woon's fist flew straight away.

A couple of her teeth popped out of her mouth with her dog.

Robert Lee moaned as blood dripped from his mouth. Seo Ji-hoo, who was running the tablet PC, glared the screen straight at Robert Lee.

"Can you see the screen well?"

"……okay."

The tablet was just illuminating an empty chair and room, as if a video call had been played. But after waiting for a while, someone appeared on the screen.

He was a man with popcorn and a bottle of cola. The man was sitting in his chair, watching Robert Lee with a curious expression.

Robert Lee's eyes widened when he saw the man's face.

[Hello, Lawyer Yangban.]

Kang Hyunmoo said hello by pouring popcorn into his mouth.

[Long time no see.]

The moment he heard that, Robert Lee burst into laughter. It was like a nervous but frustrated laugh, as if it was so funny that he couldn't stand it.

After laughing for a long time, Robert Lee seemed to be short of breath and squeaked for a while before finally being able to stop.

Robert Lee exclaimed as he looked at Hyunmoo with bloodshot eyes.

“Did you tell me it was you earlier?”

[me?]

"Why did I give you my business card! I didn't tell you to call me! If you want to talk! Someone has to call you! Why are you running into your car, beating you, and bringing you to a shady place like this to torture you!"

Hyunmoo listened to Robert Lee's shouts one by one and then asked Seo Ji-hoo.

[Did you torture me?]

"I haven't done it yet."

[But why?]

“I was hit by Hunter Song Yeo-woon right before the capture, and that seems unfair.”

[okay?]

Hyunmoo said, putting the popcorn back into his mouth.

[It would be unfair to say that I was tortured that I did not do. So, make it a tortured one.]

"What? No, wait. Wait!"

"Look. I'm going to do it anyway."

Song Yeo-Woon quickly grinned, grabbed her car battery, and walked over to Robert Lee's back.

***

[Ah, now that I see it, I have a question for you.]

The torture stopped when Hyunmoo suddenly opened his mouth.

Song Yeo-Woon wondered if the interrogation could finally begin, so she stopped the electric torture. However, the direction of the question was directed at Song Yeo-Woon, not Robert Lee.

[Looking now, he's not bald. But why is it codenamed bald?]

Song Yeo-Woon answered Hyunmoo's question.

“Ah, that means that the goddess of fortune is bald, so you have to catch it without missing it, so it means that we shouldn’t miss the designated target….”

[Is that kind of mean? Then go on... … No, it worked. Let's do it.]

"Already? Are you tired?"

[Something is a bit like that because I'm just being beaten up too much. It has to be a little strong to taste good when hit. Actually, what's wrong with him? I must have done everything as instructed above.]

At that moment, whether he was unconscious or asleep, Robert Lee, whose head was lowered, lifted his head.

"Yeah, that's right! I'm not guilty! The times have made me this way!"

At Robert Lee's cry, Hyunmoo's corners of lips rose.

[Oh yeah? No guilt?]

"There's no such thing as innocence! I was wrong! I'm sorry!"

[…] … It's a little different from the image I had in mind, but it seems to be in a state of being able to communicate to some extent.]

While Robert Lee was being tortured, he talked about all sorts of things, so he heard information he didn't even want to know.

Some say that they work for the Korean community, but that money for the alliance is hidden in it, that there are steady attempts to expand the influence of the alliance in various countries around the world, and there are already successful countries.

It was like some kind of shadow government, but Hyunmoo wasn't interested in it.

If there is a group with that kind of power, there is no way Korea can't do it in the first place.

[Lawyer Yangban. What I want to know is not that kind of nonsense... … .]

Hyunmoo pulled the hearthstone that hung around his neck over his clothes.

[This is the real thing.]

Robert Lee only glanced at the hearthstone, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

He didn't know if it was intentional indifference or if he didn't know. Hyunmoo asked the question patiently.

[Who gave this to you?]

"Didn't you say that it was Kang Hyunmoo's father's keepsake... I'm just an estate executor. I don't even know what it is."

[Is it a coincidence that my father got involved with your allies? You're only active in the US. If you keep talking nonsense, they just give up and kill you. Because honestly, it doesn't matter if you don't know the truth.]

“……”

Robert Lee let out an exasperated laugh.

"Didn't you just call me on the business card? Then I could have taken a flight and had a face-to-face consultation. For free."

[Because I don't like to torture opponents who crawl on my feet. Then why didn't you contact me in the first place? Didn't you originally plan to keep in touch with me and control me? What has changed?]

"Nothing has changed. There are changes, but the big stems are following well."

[Large stem?]

"You've been playing your role better than you think. Even more so than when you tried to control it."As soon as the teacher was mentioned, Hyunmoo felt the interrogation progress. But, aside from that, she was offended by the comment that she was playing like a horse on her chessboard.

And Hyunmoo was the type to immediately relieve her own discomfort.

As Hyunmoo gave her signal, Song Yeo-Woon put a towel over Robert Lee's face. Serge Hoo lifted the bucket of water from Robert Lee's feet and let it flow slowly over her face.

Robert Lee tried to fight, but Song Yeo-Woon twisted her arm violently, preventing her from moving.

[Water says he knows the answer.]

After the water exposed the floor, Hyunmoo opened his mouth.

[Don't talk around like a riddle, say it straight up.]

“……”

[Ah, are you afraid that there are only strangers? Shall I send someone you don't even know?]

Hyunmoo gave the command to the other cell phone. Shortly thereafter, the warehouse door opened and someone walked in.

It was Park Hwi-so.

Hwiso Park also participated in this operation. If the capture operation fails, it was Plan B.

Robert Lee wasn't surprised.

"Who are you?"

"...Call me Park Hwi-so. I am also an ally who has taken care of the teacher."

***

After a brief self-introduction, Park Hwi-so asked Seo Ji-hoo and Song Yeo-woon to step back.

The two, who already knew that Hwiso Park was stronger than them combined, went out of the warehouse quietly without worrying.

As the surroundings became quiet, Hwiso Park released the restraint tools that were holding Robert Lee one by one.

"Huh, there's a shrine there too. Anyway, I liked it. So, how about a meal?"

[If you don't want to eat your own teeth or what you ate at lunch again, answer it well.]

Hyunmoo giggled, but Hwiso Park pulled out a sandwich from the coat.

Robert Lee, apparently hungry, began to eat sandwiches in a hurry.

Park Hwi-so looked at him with a complicated expression.

"Robert. You can call me Robert. Neither you nor me, I think we have received a favor that cannot be repaid from the teacher. So no matter what happens, we cannot betray the teacher."

Robert Lee ate a sandwich and looked at Hwiso Park.

"But the reason we follow the teacher is not simply in return for grace. I think it is the prize of salvation for mankind that he proposed."

At Hwi So Park's words, Robert Lee bit his mouth as if he remembered something.

“The salvation we received from you is only a debt, but saving the entire human race is the salvation we give to ourselves, who were once scum.”

“……”

Robert Lee, who had been silent for a while, opened his mouth.

"It seems that he also received favor."

“Is there any of his allies who have not received his favor?”

"No. Those who do not receive grace cannot become an ally."

As Robert Lee said so, he glanced at Hyunmoo.

"Recently, thanks to you, it seems that one more person has received 'grace'."
