Rich & Wicked

Act 2 : Episode 11 - The Ranks

[Mr. T POV]

"You are now able to act freely", I said.

They gave a big breathe because of exhaustion, "Man, that was pretty tiring! I didn't signed up for this shxt!", Kim Hong Jin was upset.

"Why did you bottled it all up? You should have told your sentiments", Do Ha Ra said.

"You know I can't, If I defy order I will be definitely be killed. We can't act on our own if a higher up won't let us free", Kim Hong Jin seated.

"I was about to give up on training but I don't want to die so I just pushed my limits", Seo Ki Jun said.

"Is this even a job? We are like hostages here who is being controlled like a puppet", Park Dal Hee.

"Why did he even select us? I should have backed out when I had the chance", Kim Hong Jin said.

"What? You don't know the reason why he selected us? I felt so honored that he selected me to be part of this bullshxt", Ho Da Ra smiled.

"Why? He chose us against our free will", Park Dal Hee said

"Master Shin selected you because you showed extraordinary capabilities that other don't have, take it as an honor because Master Shin only picks people that he sees potentials with. From now on, all of you will be under him soon. Master Shin is the only one we must follow", I said to them.

"So was that guy our boss?", Kim Hong Jin?

"His not that guy, he is Master Shin, from now on you will call him Master Shin", I told them.

"Why do we to follow orders from Master Shin?", Park Dal Hee asked.

"He pays you in an unbelievable amount of cash, that's why we need to obey his orders, this job is a one time offer", I explained.

"We already know that, what she means is, who is this Master Shin that we need to follow, I mean you guys worship him like a god", Do Ha Ra said.

"Not trying to be offensive to Master Shin but is he really an important person?" Seo Ki Jun asked.

"Master Shin is the reason why we still lives, we are deeply fallen to his loyalty that we are ready to die for him, soom enough you'll know how important it is to follow Master Shin", I said.

"Hmm maybe you guys got mind controlled or something", Do Ha Ra said.

"Yeah, maybe they are threatened just like us? They are in direct control by him!", Kim Hong Jin said.

"Don't tell me that there's a microchip injected into us so will be monitored right? Tell that isn't true?", Seo Ki Jun got curious.

"Huh!? No way, please say no", Park Dal Hee was confused.

"We didn't put any microchip on you, the contract by they way is the one that is taking effect", I answered.

"But the contract only says that it forbids the party to tell the information inside the game from the outsiders?", Seo Ki Jun said.

I flick my fingers to call the other bystander, "The bystander came in carrying two briefcases and gave it to me.

I opened one of the briefcase and face it the other way around for th able to see what's inside and they they went near to inspect what's inside, "This is the contracy of being a bystander, please collect one and read it at utmost"

"What if I don't sign?" Do Ha Ra said.

I didn't respond to her and completely ignored her by lookint at a blank space in front.

"Oh no, I guess something might happen to us if we don't sign it, I guess. It might be bad enough that he doesn't want to give an answer" Park Dal Hee said.

"Seriously? We will be monitored all the time if we sign this? I don't like this, I mean, we all deserve a privacy", Seo Ki Jun said and he seems dissatisfied.

"Oh oh, I think I am blind, coz I dont see anything unreasonable at all. I mean like the amount of money is blocking my memory to forget the conditions. I accept the contract let me sign", Kim Hong Jin shows his true intentions and didnt hesitated to sign.

Do Ha Ra started signing the contract too, "Youre agreeing too?, Park Dal Hee towards her.

"I'm just signing it because I think it will be fun", Do Ha Ra replied.

"Are you seriously kidding me? Like Hello!? If you sign it this contract, it is also like selling your dignitty", Park Dal Hee said.

"Make your own goddamn choice, dont influence others", Kim Hong Jin said.

"Alright! I will sign it! I am gonna be a great puppet for them!", Park Dal Hee said and signed the contract.

Only Seo Ki Jin left, he is still examining the contract, "Oh we still get freedom, we can be off in 3days every month, I guess this is good", Seo Ki Jin ended up signing the agreement too.

"I think we are all done, please give back the papers to me", they gave the papees to me and then I put it back to the case. I closed the case and gave it back to the other bystander.

The bystander carried the briefcase and left outside along with it. I snapped my finger two times and two bystanders came in immediately. I opened the other briefcase and showed it to them.

"Is this the thing that will keep us get monitored", Seo Ki Jun said.

"Yes, the microchip will he injected in your neck to keep you in track", I explained.

"Is this a gun?", Kim Hong Jin asked.

"No, it's a tool used to inject a microchip, I know it will sting like hell", Seo Ki Jun answered.

"Well, let's get it on with", Do Ha Ra shows her neck ready to be injected.

"Me too, Money Monet Money!", Kim Hong Jin quirkily showed his neck too.

The other two accepted the conditions and we proceeded injecting the microchips on them.

"Owh that hurt! Owh owh!", Kim Hong Jin said in pain.

"We done?", Do Ha Ra took on the pain and continued being her.

"Owh!", Park Dak Hee shouted in pain.

Seo Ki Jun greeted his teeth to hold the pain. "That actually stings a lot", he said.

"Please go back and be seated", I said.

They went back to their chairs and listened.

"Congratulations for being a bystander!", I said and clap my hands along with the other bystanders.

Some bystanders came in and shoot some confetti all over the room to congratulate them. Four of the seeks satisfied, Master Shin will be glad about this.

After the congratulatory, the bystanders immediately left the room, "Well, I didn't expected that", Park Dal Hee said.

"I think we gonna be drinking tonight! Ohooo", Kim Hong Jin shouted.

"The celebration will continue tonight", I said.

"Ohooo!", everyone was glad.

"Now, let's continue our discussion", I said.
