Chapter 170: Bong Tae Wan (1)

“You, you! What happened to you?”

Bong Tae Wan was horrified to see his brother lying in the hospital bed.

His face was bruised as if he had been beaten, and his arm and fingers were broken, necessitating surgery.

“Which bastard did this to you? Who beat you up like this?”

“N-no one did it. I-I fell down the stairs by accident…”

“What do you mean no one did it? Anyone can see these are signs of a beating!”

“…”

“Tell me who it is?! I’m going to kill him right now!”

At his brother’s shout, Bong Taegyu remembered Ryu Min’s warning.

If he sought revenge or reported to the police, Ryu Min would track him down to the ends of the earth and break his other arm.

“I-I can’t say. If he finds out, he’ll really kill me.”

Seeing his brother trembling in fear, Bong Tae Wan couldn’t continue pressing him.

“Alright, let’s talk later when you’re calmer.”

He knew his brother was a bully. Despite being in the second year of middle school, his brother was well-built and could take on high school students.

‘Even my brother got beaten like this?’

What kind of crime could he have committed to end up in such a state?

Looking at his brother trembling in fear like he had PTSD, Bong Tae Wan vowed.

‘I’ll make that bastard payback for what he did.’

Even if his brother kept his mouth shut, finding out who it was wouldn’t be difficult.

“Is it true that it was Ryu Won’s older brother?”

“Yes. I heard his name is Ryu Min.”

“Why did they fight?”

“Well…”

He learned the whole story from the close friends who hung out with his brother.

It was a typical revenge story. His brother had been using Ryu Won as a lackey, and when his older brother found out, he came to confront him in a rage.

‘Damn it, even so, this is too much! He beat him up like this just for making him run chores?’

Though it was a preventive measure by Ryu Min to stop bigger accidents, Bong Tae Wan had no way of knowing that.

All he knew was that his brother had come home beaten like a dog.

‘I’ll kill him.’

Revenge.

With that thought in mind, Bong Tae Wan started looking for the Ryu brothers’ whereabouts.

However, they had already moved, and in the end, he had to spend a large sum to hire a private investigator.

But the result was disheartening.

“He doesn’t seem to use social media, and there are no records. There’s no way to find him. In our ten years in this field, we’ve never seen someone leave so few traces.”

“Then how am I supposed to find him? Refund my money if you can’t find him!”

“Don’t worry, sir. It’s not a total loss. We did find the ID that Ryu Won frequently uses. Try searching for that ID on various platforms daily. If he creates a new social media account or a game ID, you’ll be able to find him.”

*

“So, you found out his game ID and tracked him down to this place?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Listening to the story from Bong Tae Wan, Yamti clicked her tongue.

“Wow, he’s persistent. Pretending to be a gaming friend for months just for revenge.”

Ryu Won, who was listening beside her, couldn’t help but be shocked.

‘No wonder he kept asking about my home address and my brother while we were playing games….’

But more shocking was the presence of a woman calling him ‘young master.’

“Uh, what’s your name?”

“Oh, I haven’t introduced myself yet. You can call me Yamti, young master.”

“Yam… ti?”

“That’s my nickname. As you can see, I’m a player. Don’t I look like one?”

“Oh, yes….”

“How old do I look?”

“Sorry?”

“Don’t I look like I’m in my early twenties?”

“Yes, you do.”

“See, young master, you have a good eye. I’ve been taking care of myself. It’s not plastic surgery, though.”

“So, have we met before? Why do you keep calling me young master…?”

“Oh? Didn’t I say? I’m an acquaintance of Ryu Min.”

“My brother’s…?”

Ryu Won’s eyes widened at the mention of his brother.

‘Did my brother have such an acquaintance?’

Just as he made friends in the game, it seemed his brother had built a network of players in the other world.

Nine months was a long time, after all.

‘Well, I don’t know about all of my brother’s connections.’

Yamti explained how she came to be here with a friendly smile.

“Ryu Min was worried when you said you were meeting a friend, so he asked me to follow you. That shows how much Ryu Min trusts me. Hohoho.”

“Oh, I see.”

Knowing she was his brother’s acquaintance finally put Ryu Won at ease.

‘Did my brother foresee this situation?’

Anyway, thanks to his brother’s foresight as a prophet, he was safe.

“Thank you, Yam… ti. You saved me.”

“Hey, I didn’t do anything. It was all thanks to Ryu Min telling me to come here in advance.”

“I should thank my brother, too.”

Ryu Won, who had been grinning, looked at Bong Tae Wan standing there dumbfounded.

“So, how did you do it? He’s not the type to listen so easily….”

“It’s my ability. I can charm people and make them my subordinates in an instant.”

“Oh, I see….”

Realizing the situation, Ryu Won nodded and then asked,

“Are you really just my brother’s acquaintance? You’re not in a relationship with him?”

“Ah? Does it look that way?”

“No, it’s just that you keep treating me in this weird way even though you’re not married to him….”

“Hmm, whether we get married or not is uncertain. Future young brother.”

“Sorry?”

“I’m kidding. By the way, young master?”

Yamti pushed the mind-controlled Bong Tae Wan forward.

“What do you want to do with this trash? Should I give you a knife? You need to vent your anger.”

“Uh, that’s a bit too….”

“Don’t worry about consequences. We can clean up easily, and no one will care if a piece of trash like this dies. Are you just going to let him go after he tried to kill you? At least use him as a punching bag.”

“Well… I’m scared to hit someone….”

Ryu Won had never hit anyone in his life.

He had never felt anger or held a grudge against anyone.

When he was hit, he just cowered and lowered his head.

Naturally, he was scared.

‘Even though they’re brothers, the young master’s personality is completely different from the master’s?’

While she didn’t understand why he didn’t want to punish him, Yamti decided to respect his wish.

He was the future young brother, after all.

“I’ll respect your decision, young master. But we can’t let him go. We need to inform Ryu Min and ask for his opinion.”

“Oh, yes. Do that.”

“Trash. Stay quiet while I make a call.”

“Yes, master.”

Ryu Won, who was curiously watching Bong Tae Wan behave like an obedient doll, glanced at Yamti who was looking at her phone.

‘Charming people and making them subordinates… This is why they say players are dangerous.’

While he was thinking about how scary the ability was, Yamti suddenly looked up.

“Young master?”

“Yes?”

“How old do you really think I am?”
