Chapter 130 – Mister Park’s Identity #3

As they followed the path that Phantom marked on the path, they didn’t see many believers . It was the perfect escape route .

Cho Min-hyuk once again marvelled at Phantom’s abilities .

“But what will happen to Song Chi-hyun sunbae?”

“Wasn’t he caught by the believers?”

“If we don’t have his magic tricks, then in the future… What will we do?”

They weren’t worried about Song Chi-hyun’s safety . They were just colleagues, so it was none of their business if he was caught . They would easily betray each other in order to live . This was an appropriate relationship for partners in crime .

“Forget about that magician . Anyways, it is enough if we just show a few tricks once in awhile . Plus, we have Phantom’s skills . Try to imagine it . Phantom appearing before the public . ”

“Whoa! There will obviously be a tremendous response . ”

“It will be the greatest hit ever, beyond a jackpot . Ohuhu… This time we won’t receive Oyabun’s help, so let’s try hard from the beginning . ”

“Yep . ”

Cho Min-hyuk recalled Phantom’s absurd abilities . His know-how and Park Bum-ho’s story . What if it was accompanied by Kim Jin-woo’s production? It was obvious that the public would go crazy . Just imagining it caused a smile to appear on his face .

“Once that happens, thousands of people won’t be a problem . Perhaps tens… No, it will be hundreds of thousands of people . ”

Cho Min-hyuk felt a twitch in his chest . He felt tremendous expectations towards the future .

Park Bum-ho looked closely at the escape route on the map and said .

“We just need to turn right there . ”

If they crossed the wall in front of them, then a car would be waiting on the other side . Once they rode it, they could get out of this place . Their short escape was reaching the end .

Cho Min-hyuk looked at the home of ‘Sun’, where he had stayed for a while .

“Aigoo… I didn’t know it would end up this way . Anyway, right now I am running away . Just wait . Within a year, I will create a group large enough to swallow Sun . ”

Kim Jin-woo listened to his words and agreed .

“I hope so . ”

“We are going to be legends . Hahaha!”

He stepped on the Park Bum-ho’s hand and climbed the wall first . Next, it was Kim Jin-woo’s turn . Then the two people pulled Park Bum-ho up on the wall . In a flash, the three people had crossed the wall . It was a proficient move that thieves were capable of .

“I think that is the car that Phantom mentioned . ”

Park Bum-ho pointed to a medium sized sedan that was parked . It was so waxed that the car could be used as a mirror .

A big man in a black suit opened the door of the car . He had short cropped hair and black sunglasses . Anyone looking at him would think he was a gangster .

“Are you sure he is the driver?”

“It seems so . ”

As they approached, the driver asked,

“Are you Cho Min-hyuk?”

“Yes, that’s right . ”

“But I heard there would be three people with you . ”

Cho Min-hyuk shook his head and explained,

“One person unfortunately…”

“Well, three is good enough . Then get in the car . ”

They quietly nodded and boarded the car . The driver climbed into his seat and said,

“Can you please put on your seat belts?”

“Ah, um . Right . ”

After confirming that their seat belts were on, the driver added,

“Whoops, I forgot the most important thing . Would you like to have this?”

He pulled out something shiny and threw it into the backseat .

“Huh? What…”

“Aaaaack!”

“H-Handcuffs!”

Cho Kang-suk, who had been treated as a gangster, turned back to them and declared,

“I am arresting you for murder, imprisonment, assault and drug trafficking! You have the right to remain silent . Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law . You have the right to an attorney and to have the attorney speak for you when asked a question . If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you . Do you understand the rights I have just read to you?”

“……”

“If you don’t put it on then I will help you directly . What do you want to do?”

“W-We are innocent…”

“Hah, I really got lucky . The prosecutor’s office was paying attention to the movements of the Sun group . Then evidence was found . Sun’s code of conduct doesn’t allow for deserters does it? If someone tries to desert, then aren’t they killed? Ah, don’t worry . I have the evidence right here . ”

“……”

“Oh, the person who gave it to me asked me to tell you this . Make sure to put you in a religion free prison . I did as he asked, so the place where you will be staying is decided . Do you know the Black Tortoise Prison? You can work hard at your religious activities there . Then who knows? Maybe you can go to heaven . ”

“Kwaaaack!”

Cho Min-hyuk struggled to get out of the car . However, the seat belts couldn’t be removed no matter what they did .

“Ah, I placed glue on the joints so it can’t be taken off unless a special solvent is used . Then I will drive you to your destination comfortably . ”

“P-Phantom… That bastard tricked me!”

Cho Min-hyuk cursed his unseen opponent .

However, Phantom hadn’t spoken any lies . Being locked up in prison was the easier way to escape from the Yakuza’s hands .

@

Cho Min-hyuk and his bishops were arrested by Cho Kang-suk . He made his way down the road like it was an eight lane highway .

However, the remaining people were a problem . They found out about the leader’s deceit and discovered that Sun was a cult . Still, the atmosphere didn’t quite dissolve .

A person who was exceptionally faithful and who was the representative of the believers climbed on stage . He grabbed the microphone and told the believers,

“All of you are free to return home . But although the leaders were fake, I believe that the teachings of Hwanin are real . Hwanin is an existence that clearly exists . He might’ve been used as part as a scam, but once he knows that we are waiting, I believe that Hwanin will come down from the sky to save us . ”

“Aye! I’ll wait!”

“Me too! I was born again because of Hwanin! Even though the impostor blurred his name, Hwanin really exists in the world!”

More than half the believers responded to the representative’s words . However, it wasn’t everyone .

“Che! Another one… What Hwanin…? I’m going home . Jang-ssi as well?”

“You can go home but I will stay here . ”

The representative holding the microphone raised his voice,

“All those who want to leave are welcome to . We won’t oppress any deserters . Just remember Hwanin’s teachings . Wait for him as well . It is free to enter and leave . ”

Thus, the believers divided into two groups . Tae-hyuk licked his lips at the sight .

“This is why I only got 300 affinity points . In the end, I can’t save the people who have already fallen into the mud . ”

Only 30% returned to their homes . The remaining members renamed themselves ‘Dawn’ . A new cult was born .

Tae-hyuk sighed and mixed among the people who were leaving . Then a familiar face was seen . Once Tae-hyuk approached, Lee Gun-woo clearly knew him .

“Ah, this cool face… P-Phan…”

Tae-hyuk raised a finger to his lips . Then Lee Gun-woo nodded .

“T-Thank you for saving me! Greet him as well . This is…”

Lee Min-young was pulled over by Lee Gun-woo and reluctantly bowed .

“Thank you for helping me regain my mind . I really appreciate it, Phantom . ”

It was decided that they would leave Dawn and return home . Tae-hyuk touched the Phantom mask hidden on his body and said,

“Well, I was able to fool them thanks to you . So how long do you have left? I hope you finish your remaining military life well . ”

Lee Gun-woo’s eyes widened at Phantom’s words . Tae-hyuk had harsh memories of the military . But he wasn’t like Lee Gun-woo, whose life was twisted due to it .

‘Wait . Won’t I get a draft notice next year? I have to experience the army twice… Ah…’

As Tae-hyuk was thinking about the unpleasant memories, Lee Min-young said to him,

“This isn’t the best place, but can I please get your signature?”

“Well . It isn’t that hard . Do you have a paper or pen?”

“Oppa, do you have a pen?”

“No…”

“Ah… The rare opportunity to get the Phantom’s autograph…”

Lee Min-young shook her head with a grim expression . Tae-hyuk said with a smile,

“By the way, do you want to see a magic trick?”

@

The next evening .

Tae-hyuk had set up a trap to catch Mister Park and wanted to make sure that all of the preparations were correct .

“Hrmm, the cameras and mikes are perfect . The boss is resting well in the warehouse… Now Mister Park just needs to come . ”

He was disguised as Cho Min-hyuk . Tae-hyuk contacted him urgently stating there was a problem . All the goods and personnel needed to operate Sun were supplied by Cho Min-hyuk .

It wasn’t strange to meet this way . First of all, he needed to find out Mister Park’s identity . Then he would take measures against the Yakuza .

“It is time . ”

The appointment time was 6 o’clock . Exactly one minute remained . Tae-hyuk finally looked at his face in the Demon Revealing Mirror . It was the same face as Cho Min-hyuk, so even his biological parents wouldn’t recognize him .

“Uh, I’m strangely tense…”

At best, he was just meeting with one of the Yakuza’s subordinates . But he felt something strange .

“It is the same as what I felt when I found Yoo Cheol-ho and realized that my memories of the future were real . ”

Tae-hyuk swallowed his saliva . It was obvious that Mister Park would have a bigger influence on him than Yoo Cheol-ho .

Ching .

The door opened and a man in his 40s entered the cafe . The cafe had a CLOSED sign so it obviously wasn’t a passing customer . This meant…

“Exactly 6 o’clock . I’m not late . You wanted to meet me?”

Tae-hyuk looked at him blankly . It was the first time he was so surprised since gaining the future memories . An unexpected person was standing in front of him .

‘Zombie? No, ghost? Or twins?’

The name of the other person unknowingly fell in a whisper from Tae-hyuk’s mouth .

“Park Jung-hwan…”

In his ‘past life’, Tae-hyuk was framed for killing him and received the death penalty .

Big Mama said that he died two years ago . However, that Park Jung-hwan was now grinning in front of Tae-hyuk .
