“This f*ck……!”

The rooftop of the Taeyul Company building.

Department Head Lee Ho-joong who was watching the broadcast while smoking a cigarette spat out curses.

Because eventually, Black Dragon took the heritage and safely escaped the citadel.

“This bastard knew everything…….”

Lee Ho-joong recalled the moment he met his death.

Black Dragon who scratched his nerves picking a fight with messages.

Due to the condition of giving other hidden skill information taking hold, his eyes rolled back and he ended up moving his body.

Not even knowing that was Black Dragon’s mockery.

“You’re truly dead, you son of a b*tch.”

Even though he gave opportunities several times that guy did not fulfill the proposal.

Then that price is also a share he must bear himself.

Sss-

Lee Ho-joong took out a medical certificate from the bag he brought and examined it.

Although he had to go to the police station directly himself, anyway if Black Dragon’s name is mentioned it’s an instant for it to spread to the media.

Because he heard reporters always have one foot placed in police stations.

“You don’t know how scary public opinion is right? Even celebrities tremble.”

Muttering, Lee Ho-joong who finished preparations immediately tried to go down the stairs.

However.

Bzzzt-

Suddenly a vibration rang from the smartphone.

“What is it?”

Lee Ho-joong opened the case cover.

“…Jongno Police Station?”

The caller name that popped up above the number.

It wasn’t a lie, but an official registered number.

Lee Ho-joong who felt somewhat uneasy cleared his throat and accepted the call.

“Hello?”

(Hello. This is Senior Patrol Officer Seon Woo-jin from the Jongno Police Station Detective Division. Is this Mr. Lee Ho-joong?)

“Yes, I am Lee Ho-joong, but what is the matter?”

(We contacted you because there are a few things to confirm regarding an assault, threat, and extortion case. Are you available to talk?)

“…Threat?”

The obvious situation drawn in his mind as soon as he heard that word.

Black Dragon, that guy struck first before being sued.

However in a situation without evidence a method to beat him didn’t exist.

“It seems our detective got tricked by lies. The one who was assaulted is rather me.”

(The victim’s side has already submitted strong evidence such as text messages and call recording files. But are you still denying all the criminal acts, sir?)

“Not all criminal acts, but I am the victim! Do you understand? Those kids with blood barely dry on their heads are spouting lies!”

Lee Ho-joong poured out a string of false damage facts as if vomiting out resentment.

However the detective cleanly cut those words off and intruded.

(Please refrain from cursing at the victim. Anyway we understand well that you are denying all criminal acts and claiming yourself as the victim. So let’s proceed with the investigation directly at the station.)

“I said it’s not a claim but I am the victim! Right now I’ll bring the medical certificate to the police station…….”

“Hey! Lee Ho-joong!”

At that time, a loud shout was heard from outside the receiver.

The boss who came up from down the stairs.

His face was flushed bright red.

“Boss?”

“What kind of bastard are you? What kind of dogsh*t have you done!”

“Yes? What do you mean…….”

“Go down and see clearly with your own eyes!”

Along with the sudden cross-examination the boss went down the stairs again.

“I will contact you later.”

Flustered Lee Ho-joong hung up the phone with the police and followed behind him.

Somehow an uneasy premonition made his legs heavy.

“You must not touch the materials. Employees please step back and wait.”

“Do not move that file folder over there!”

People’s voices heard from inside the office.

Lee Ho-joong who went inside ended up freezing stiff just like that.

“…Uh?”

A few people wearing suits were putting materials into boxes stamped with the prosecution mark.

The place they were working on was his desk.

“Are you Department Head Lee Ho-joong of the RP dedicated department?”

At that time, a man wearing glasses approached closely and asked.

As Lee Ho-joong belatedly nodded his head, he spoke showing the ID card hung on his neck.

“I am Prosecutor Choi Yoon-seok from the Western District Prosecutors’ Office. As a result of conducting an internal investigation after receiving a tip-off about Mr. Lee Ho-joong’s embezzlement and tax evasion charges, connections leading to illegal funds including the corresponding crimes were also confirmed. We are currently proceeding with an investigation related to this, and we will conduct a search and seizure of necessary evidence such as Mr. Lee Ho-joong’s work records and accounting documents. First check the contents of the warrant here.”

“Yes?”

Lee Ho-joong opening his eyes wide hastily examined the warrant contents.

However from one to ten it was difficult to understand.

“Embezzlement you say, what does that mean! What did I do! Moreover I haven’t even laid a hand on things like illegal funds!”

“Jeongbaek Moolsan. It’s a company your brother-in-law Kim Jae-hyuk established right? A considerably large number of transactions went back and forth.”

“Wh, what does that matter? There isn’t a law saying not to trade with relatives’ companies right?”

“False expense claims, false outsourcing labor cost payments, rebates through various gift certificates, manipulating purchase prices, forging private documents fabricating employee signatures……. Have you no guesses?”

“……!”

At the string of charges Lee Ho-joong opened his eyes wide.

The work his brother-in-law from law school meticulously planned.

He was exactly sure it would never be caught, but an unexpected thing happened.

“As a result of investigating based on the tip-off contents, Jeongbaek Moolsan was generating revenue by operating several illegal gambling sites together. There were also 2 sites registered under Mr. Lee Ho-joong’s name.”

“Th, this is a trap! Who is the informant!”

“We cannot inform you for security reasons. Since an investigation of personal financial records and such will also be needed in the future, please cooperate with the investigation. First of all we will prioritize securing internal company materials.”

“No, wait…….”

The prosecutor again began packing materials together with the investigators.

Lee Ho-joong frozen with his hand extended.

At that time, the boss approached blushing his face.

“Hey, did you even use my signature as you pleased?”

“Boss, no Hyung-nim. That’s not it…….”

“Don’t spout ridiculous words. Cause I’ll write up an advisory and respond too, so don’t think of slipping out.”

“Hyung-nim… Wait a moment! Hyung-nim!”

“Let go!”

The boss pushed away Lee Ho-joong’s hand and left the seat.

He who was left alone bewildered staggered and headed to the emergency staircase outside the office.

Lee Ho-joong leaning his back against the wall called his brother-in-law with trembling hands.

(The person you are calling cannot pick up right now…….)

A phone that isn’t answered despite several attempts.

He who slumped down stroked his face.

“It’s definitively that bastard.”

Something came to mind in Lee Ho-joong’s head where all sorts of thoughts were raging.

Black Dragon and Loafer who hung around next to him.

The informants are definitely those guys.

Kim Jae-ha who handled his work instead must havegathered all sorts of evidence behind his back.

“I can absolutely never die alone.”

Rolling his eyes he took out the medical certificate from his bag.

Lee Ho-joong who took a picture of it with his smartphone camera logged into the RPG community.

“Trash bastards. You suffer too.”

He who logged into his account moving his slow finger started writing a post.

Whether fabrication or what, it didn’t matter.

It was only that one heart to drag Black Dragon down.

I am Department Head Lee Ho-joong currently employed at Taeyul Company.

I write this post to report RP Streamer Black Dragon’s assault and verbal abuse.

The attached medical certificate as evidence…….

Lee Ho-joong who went through a few revisions pressed the complete button.

Since he hammered in the name Black Dragon a reaction would definitely come immediately.

Ding-

While staying blank for a moment, an alarm sound was heard.

A +3 mark was present on the comments attached to the post.

“Yeah, bite and tear to your heart’s content.”

Lee Ho-joong pouring out curses entered his post.

However.

– Is this bastard an id*ot? Lol

A completely unexpected reaction was written.

“What……”

Flustered Lee Ho-joong examined the following comments.

– Didn’t you just watch the news?

– Ahjussi, you’re one step late.

– If it wasn’t for the bodycam it would have been f*cked up. Lol

– Black Dragon, I cheer for you.

– To think even trash like this gets entangled;

– Jae-ha-hem, just what kind of company life did you…….

“Uh?”

Sharp criticism pointing towards him.

On the other hand enthusiastic cheering towards Black Dragon and Kim Jae-ha was continuing hotly.

Lee Ho-joong who didn’t understand the situation quickly scanned the popular posts list.

Over there one post quoting a news article was seen.

He hastily clicked the title and examined the contents.

According to a tip-off, recently Streamer Black Dragon received threats and extortion from Employee A of a certain company.

Black Dragon’s affiliated management, DD Studio, relayed that they have been preparing legal action to protect their affiliated streamer.

DD Studio provided various threatening messages, recording files, and recorded videos to the police, and surprisingly the corresponding contents rather contained Employee A habitually committing assault and verbal abuse towards his subordinate employee, giving a shock.

According to the exclusively acquired bodycam footage…….

The article that was uploaded right before Lee Ho-joong wrote the exposure post.

The long continuing contents didn’t matter.

The problem was the recorded video provided by Black Dragon’s company.

Flustered Lee Ho-joong hastily played the attached bodycam video.

『Don’t your wife and kids know you act like this at the company? Act so you aren’t shameful. Uh? If you’re incompetent just do the work you’re told well.』

“……!”

A familiar voice was heard in the video.

Although the face was mosaiced, it was clearly his own voice.

『What kind of bastard are you?』

『Wow, this guy is a completely uneducated bastard. Just who talks to an adult like… Ack!』

The Black Dragon group that appeared also had their names displayed and captured in the video.

The appearance of grabbing his arm and the following scream.

Although it might look like an assault, the before and after circumstances were clear.

Because it was an appearance as if Black Dragon was blocking himself hitting Kim Jae-ha.

『F*ck, these bastards really……!』

Lee Ho-joong in the video rushed towards Loafer pouring out curses.

At the same time as that fist swung, Black Dragon pulled Loafer.

『Ugh!』

The center of gravity lost together with the fist violently thrust into the empty air.

The appearance of falling flat just like that made even the person involved shut their eyes tight.

『It’s been sh*t all this time, let’s never see each other again.』

With Kim Jae-ha’s last voice the video ended.

Lee Ho-joong’s gaze naturally moved to the comments attached below.

– A role model of a complete trash boss.

– Look at the way he talks.

– Got bitten by an id*ot;

– Was he trying to frame falling over by himself as an assault?

└Probably claimed around 4 weeks to heal from his arm getting grabbed?

└Rather he hitting Jae-ha-hem himself;

– Black Dragon fighting

– Jae-ha-hem TT

– Why mosaic the perpetrator?

└Say they must protect the criminal first.

– The bodycam saved them.

└FR DD Studio does work well.

└Loafer re-evaluation ㄷㄷ

“F*ck…….”

Lee Ho-joong reading through the comments let out a curse powerlessly.

The plan to send Black Dragon into the abyss using public opinion.

That was now thrusting a knife towards himself.

Thump-

Lee Ho-joong dropping his smartphone blankly looked up at the emergency stairs ceiling.

Everything is over.

Only such thoughts filled his head completely.

That time left alone continued for a long time.
