Passion Translation "Fanfictions"

Vol 1 - Chapter 8: Who's that guy?

Jeong Taeui was hit seven or eight times. Two of them hurt so much that he lost his mind for a moment. However, fortunately there were a few punches that could also be considered cotton fists, the rest were roughly suitable for the atmosphere at that time.

After being beaten until he regained consciousness, Jeong Taeui drank alcohol while being skeptical.

"No snacks?"

"It seems like Yuan Ho went out to buy beef jerky a while ago, let me go get it."

"Yes, the glass there is empty. You have to take the initiative to fill it up, why are you sitting right next to me?"

"......."

Jeong Taeui discovered another difference from the military.... He muttered while thoughtfully looking at the package of peanuts that a strange man had just given him.

After punching him, they acted as if nothing had happened and said, 'Let's go out and have a few drinks to welcome the new member, shall we?'. The people who pulled Jeong Taeui with a cheerful smile were the same people who mercilessly gave him those heavy blows. Jeong Taeui could only sit quietly drinking wine and eating the snacks they gave him.

Are these men strange, this group of people strange, this branch strange, the whole of UNHRDO strange or is it just himself who is strange?

"Is it okay to drink alcohol like this? What should I do if I get an emergency summons while drunk?"

Jeong Taeui said suspiciously, a man named Qing Jiao immediately shrugged and smiled in response.

"What is an emergency summon?"

Then, Tou, who was sitting next to him, seemed friendly enough to answer.

"Taeil comes from the military. Having that habit is natural."

"Ah...."

Only then did Qing nod as if he understood. Carlo, who was eating snacks on the other side, also explained.

"This is not the army, so there is no reason to be urgently summoned so often. If you weren't the guy who made enemies and stabbed your teammates, you wouldn't have to worry about anything. Anyway, there has never been such a person here. After finishing training, of course you can drink freely. However, if you get too drunk and can't participate in the training session early the next morning, you will be gradually punished by the instructor."

"I heard that sometimes there are cases of members here taking on personal jobs outside. How can we guarantee that there won't be anyone out there holding a grudge and sneaking in here to stab and slash?"

Jeong Taeui asked again while taking a sip of wine. He didn't know this place worked exactly like this. But a long time ago he heard similar things between his uncle and Jaeui. So Jeong Taeui thought that UNHRDO was an organization that specializes in receiving missions from outside.

"Where did you hear that rumor?"

"Because it was a rumor, the wind from this direction and that direction unintentionally reached our ears."

"Ah, he is indeed Jeong Jaeui's brother. But you only heard half of it. There are also times when we have to accept outside missions, but we will not accept personal requests no matter how much money we have. Because we are still working in this organization anyway. It's not impossible to take on personal work, but it remains to be seen whether it's worth making enemies out there. But even more than those people, you have to be even more careful...."

While Carlo was speaking, he suddenly lowered his voice and stopped for a moment, with a hint of excitement and anger.

"Those bastards at the European branch! Sooner or later, those guys will brazenly and arrogantly sneak in here!"
