A Handsome K*nky Gangster Reporter - Chapter 65

#65

“Who hasn’t got a woman in this age? I’m leaving this. I think I won’t be in love anymore. Why don’t you tell Mrs. Zenit that you beg me to marry you?”

Jealousy turns people blind. What’s more, it seemed like it would be easy to manipulate the drunk man to suit someone’s purposes. I pressed the recording button again and raised my hand to call out to a passing employee.

“Could you please bring me a meat snack and a bottle of expensive whiskey?”

I told Claude to lower his head and stay put. I immediately sat down at the table beside it and flashed a smile at him.

“Wow. You’re the most handsome man in this bar. Can I join you? I’ll buy a lot of alcohol and snacks in return. Would you like to chat with me for a while?”

The man, who turned red and who was already quite drunk, greeted me with a big smile plastered on his face.

“Hah! Yes, yes. This seat is empty, so you’re welcome to take a seat here.”

The man looked at me and licked his lips slyly. I could clearly see what was in his mind, but I continued to pretend to be oblivious.

“I heard you on the side. Your friend’s story is very interesting. No, I think you are much better in person. Why is that friend wavering between those two women? What happened to those women’s eyes?”

“Right, right? I thought so as well! I’m much richer and have better skills. Isn’t it? Women don’t have good taste. How does it sound? Would you like to spend a hot night with me tonight?”

“Yes…?”

“Oh no. I recently brought home a poor puppy. Do you know when the last time it rained? Back then, the puppy was starving in the rain, so I took pity and brought the puppy home. Would you like to go look at it? It is so cute.”

I’ve never expected this before. I thought I should conform to the man’s words and get the information I wanted to know.

“Sir, what’s your name? Hey, I can’t follow someone who I don’t know all the way to his house. The world is so dangerous these days.”

“Hey, I’m not that wicked. My name is Jack. I work at the textile factory around here. Is that enough for you?”

“Oh, my God. That’s right. However, I like people who tell fun stories. Tell me more about your friend. Where does Mrs. Zenit live?”

Claude stared fiercely at the man beside him, but the drunken Jack didn’t care and made fun of me with a light mouth. Thanks to this, I was able to get a lot of articles worthy of being published in an article two days later.

“Men like me. It’s best to have a strong lower body. What do you think? Do you want to come with me?”

Of course, I had to get through this nonsense in the calmest and gentlest manner possible.

“Give me another bottle.”

I continued to give him a drink with the intention of getting him drunk. I added, “Geez, I like strong men.” Every time that happened, he bluffed with a red face and drank the liquor in one go.

‘I think this is enough.’

After getting all the information needed from the man, I winked at Claude. Jack had reached a situation where his eyes had fallen out and his head had hit the table and he was fast asleep.

I asked waiter, who happened to pass by in front of us.

“Hey, please take this man to the inn upstairs. I’ll give you the accommodation fee and tip. Please do me a favor.”

After leaving the bar and walking past through the narrow alleys, I arrived at the area near Rodrian’s house, the man who was said to be related to Catherine. There was some noise because there were already guests in the house. When I sneaked over and looked through the window, Catherine was seen arguing with Rodrian.

I turned on the recorder quickly, and at the same time I set up the camera and dark tent quickly.

“Are you crazy? You’re going to turn my son into the dead Baron’s son?”

“Then, what should we do? You said you were going to marry her for money. I have to do it if I want to raise my child comfortably later!”

“What will you do if you get caught? Think about it properly!”

“Oh, I don’t know. I don’t know. Instead of living like this, I’ll spend a lot of money and disappear from the capital like my brother once said. That’s why you have to choose! It’s me and my baby! Or her!”

Click, click.

The camera continued to record their performance. The two of them continued to bicker for a while and then gradually walked closer to each other. Then, he hugged her, his lips pressed together, and slowly….

“Ehem! It seems that we shouldn’t peep.”

I was not the type of person who suffers from voyeurism. I just took a picture of the two of them at an appropriate angle, polish the photo quickly, and put the camera in the bag. I leaned under the window and heard a clear live voice. As I anticipated, the two of them were so and so.

My heart fluttered when I saw the scene and listened to their conversation. Claude, who saw the situation inside, wrapped his arms around my shoulders and pressed himself against my body.

“Noona, are you astonished?”

How could anyone not be shocked by such a scene? This b*s**rd couldn’t take it anymore and started deceiving again.

“I have a cute puppy at home….”

He used the skills he learned from the strange man at the bar earlier.

‘You think I’m stupid?’

As I stared fiercely at Claude, he slowly withdrew his hands from my body with a look full of regret. At that instant, a bundle of grayish-black feathers quickly stepped on my feet.

“Ah-ah! Rat, rat!”

Out of shock, I hugged Claude beside me, and at the same time a sharp voice came from inside the house.

“Who’s there?!”

We could be caught. I quickly grabbed the camera cart and Claude’s wrist before running away from the scene. Without having time to think about the road we had traveled, I ran mindlessly through the narrow alleys. The neighborhood was so dark that I had to rely on the moonlight to see the way forward. After running for a while, I finally felt relieved and stopped my steps.

“Wow. I hope we don’t get caught.”

I turned my head breathlessly, and Claude’s lips brushed my cheek. The process was very natural.

‘Wow, people say men only think about ‘that’ when they’re with women except when eating.’

As he grew older, he’s been getting sneakier. Was he just looking for an opportunity to come into contact with me while running away? As I was getting dumbfounded by the sudden kiss on my cheek, quietly stepped to the side, and he wrapped his hands around my waist and pulled me up.

It happened so quickly.

Our lips naturally fused and united together.

In such a smelly and heinous place. It was as if there was no one in this town other than the two of us. My breath naturally mixed with Claude’s. Although his hand on the back of my head was trembling, but his lips were just as desperate and persistent in digging into my mouth.

The flavor of the liquor I drank earlier still lingers fragrantly on the tip of my tongue. In this quiet alley, only the sound of saliva filled my ears.

We acted as if we wanted more of each other, as if we were thirsty. Although the kiss was so sudden, he acted as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Haa.

“Come on. Don’t peek.”

The door opened slightly in the distance, and a little boy and a girl who looked like a pair of sibling appeared.

They must have seen us. Their voices were close to small whispers, but their voices were still quiet loud because the alley was currently quiet. I pushed Claude’s body out of surprise, and he looked at me with eyes filled with affection while rubbing his mouth as if he was wanting more. Then,his lips formed a thin curve.

“Noona. Are you embarrassed?”

I fanned my hot cheeks with my hands and avoided his gaze.

“What? I had another accident while I was drunk. Let’s go home.”

“It’s getting late. How about staying at hotel for tonight?”

In the midst of all this, he racked his little brain. I could clearly see his intentions, and I looked at Claude gently.

“Don’t mess with me. Take me to Baroness Stephen’s house.”

His face, which was reflected in the moonlight, looked very attractive today. It was a pity that we had to part. Feeling embarrassed and because the bottom of my navel was tickling, I just fiddled with the useless photo cart. Claude’s soft voice rang in my ears.

“Noona, can you wait until I’m ready?”

I wondered if he would disappear again after saying it again. Although I thought about not stopping his steps, I found myself holding his fingertips. 

“Huh? Noona. Answer me.”

Hot breath escaped his lips as he brought his face close to my ear. As expected, I became a weakling in front of him. What appeared as a surprise was that I didn’t really hate the feeling I experienced at that moment.

* * *

Henrick, the butler who had been working at Baron Stephen’s residence for a long time, had recently submitted his resignation. He instructed his sister attack the Baroness, so of course he had to quit his job.

He seemed completely relaxed for the first time in a long time, taking a leisurely stroll during the day. She was going to acquire a large amount of wealth through her sister soon. For now, I plan to enjoy the comfortable life of unemployment and enjoy my wealth leisurely.

“Exclusive! Exclusion! The woman who tried to claim to be Baron Stephen’s lover was called an imposter! Golden Wild Goose Daily’s exclusive article!”

Henrick stopped walking when he was shocked by the scream of newspaper vendor’s son.

‘What is this noise?’

He had just formed a separate team from the team of lawyers hired by Edgar the imposter. He planned to testify in court that his sister was the late Baron Douglas Stephen’s lover. If he could win the lawsuit, her soon born nephew would be recognized as the Baron’s successor, and he would claim to be his nephew’s guardian and benefit himself off it.

Before the court opened, articles with strange claims from trashy newspapers first came out to the world. How desperate was he to quit his job in a hurry?

Henrick immediately pushed the newspaper boy and took the newspaper.

“Hey, just pay the paper and take this!”

When the newspaper boy annoyed him by clinging to his arm, he threw the few coins he found in his pocket at the boy and read the front page of the newspaper.

Catherine, who claimed to be Baron Stephen’s lover, turned out to be her biological daughter with another man?

Grumbling.

As soon as he saw the content of the article, Henrick gritted his teeth.

‘I’m not surprised. I didn’t like it from the first time I saw it.’

How could they find out and cover up what happened between his sister and that man? He’s even going to marry another rich widow.

Henrick had asked her to avoid contact with him until she inherited the Baron’s fortune. The foolish younger sister didn’t listen to him and in the end, this happened. The t*ash*d newspaper reporter even took picture of the secret meeting between her sister and the man, bringing it to the light as a clear evidence.

At the time Henrick thought, ‘Should I insist that I knew him after the Baron died?’ At the end of the article, it was even written that the reporter had recorded testimonies from acquaintances who already found out about their relationship.

“Oh my God! What the hell is going on? This newspaper is more interesting than the popular novels these days.”

“What, so she has a child from a man who would marry another woman and tried to deceive everyone because he wants Baron Stephen’s fortune? Wow, how shameless she is.”

“She’s involved with the housemaid. It says servant’s sister here. If I were the Baroness, I would be very angry. I would file a complaint with the Police Department and have them all imprisoned for fraud.”

The people who stopped on the street and read the newspaper, nodded their heads in agreement. Without knowing that the butler in question was beside them, they cursed the butler who betrayed the owner.

‘D*mn.’

After everything he had came to light, he had to side with Edgar the swindler so that he could gain a small amount of wealth. He quickened his pace.
