A Handsome Kinky Gangster Reporter

Philip once thought that it would be nice if his father was cured, but there was no doctor who could cure him. Even the name of the disease was unknown. Their conclusion was that if this condition went on, his father would eventually die.

In the end, he assumed that in order to manage the house properly, he would have to borrow labor from friends in the alley behind his house.

“I had to buy bread to feed my sister today. Ah-, that’s the only way now.”

It made sense to bring home his godfather’s head instead of bread. After contemplating for a moment, he rose to his feet to carry out his wicked plan.

Then Haley appeared in front of him.

“Listen, I think I can help you a little.”

The red-haired woman, who appeared with a mature appearance, told him confidently that she could cure her father’s illness. Philip, who had a slightly twisted personality at the moment, wondered if he should have actually believed this woman

‘I should be wary of her.’

It’s a bit embarrassing to think of her as a crazy woman and just walk away. Philip thought that the woman’s face was too familiar. For some reason, he felt nostalgic.

He also knew that his father had something called a camera. Looking at it at a glance, Philip sensed that Haley was a little careless. Philip felt like he could take advantage of this woman if he pretended to be naive.

It was the evening when Haley took care of his younger sister at home. Philip raided the gambling house with the people he was after. It was easy to turn the owner of the gambling house into his own. Originally, the gambling house was a business with his father’s shareholding of over 80%, and he was the rightful successor. 

Knocking down Baron Holland’s army and brought them to their feet. From then on, it was easy to get a share transfer note from him as if drinking water.

“Do you think I’d just remain still? I will report your actions to the court right now! How dare you treat a nobleman like this?!”

The nobleman went to court himself and disclosed the fact that he had touched the gambling business. It was a self-defeating act from the nobleman, who tended to ignore commerce.

However, he couldn’t easily give up gambling, a business that was like a flower pot filled with gold coins every night.

Philip held out some photos in front of Baron Holland.

“Your grandson is very cute. Is he about a year old now? Your grandson looks very healthy, so it would make a good money if I were to sell him abroad.”

The photo showed Baron Holland’s daughter and grandson. The Baron’s face creased when he saw it.

“Go away, how dare you… How dare you do this?!”

“I tracked down the profits from the gambling house that my father earned when he left. It was incredibly huge. With that amount of money, how many times do you get your investment back? Let’s just say that you’re paying back the interest on the profits that haven’t been sent to my family through your grandson.”

“Well, nonetheless!”

Philip pressed the baron’s shoulder with his foot.

“Actually, if we think about this in various ways, I lost too much money. And I hate losing money. I think selling your daughter and grandson as foreign slaves can make up for that loss. What do you think?”

The baron’s face turned pale when he heard Philip’s threat. He rolled his eyes and glanced at the men who had captured him. Black scorpions were embroidered on their shoulders.

“Don’t tell me… you! Are you working with Black Scorpion?”

Philip laughed at Baron Holland while waving his hand as if it was nothing.

“Oh, allies. That’s not something that should be said to the leadership.”

Black Scorpion, a gang that mostly operated in back alleys, determined their leaders by force. So, anyone in the slums could become the chief if they had the resources and power. Thus, it was the position of the Black Scorpion leader who had to endure threats and challenges every night.

However, as difficult as it was, there were advantages. The Black Scorpion Corps was basically known to be worse and stronger than the Imperial Army. Those who had gained power could now control the gambling houses.

As soon as Philip rose to the leader position, he organized all the illegal work of the organization that had been done. His first move as leader was acquiring the gambling house that his father used to manage.

Baron Holland bit his nails and closed his eyes. It was time to hand over his actual shares to the thief on this day and back off from the business.

“Must you do this to your own godfather?”

“Hah! Godfather?! I can’t believe the first person to turn away when I’m in trouble calls himself godfather. That’s not fair. I’m having trouble finding my rights. Thank you. Thanks to you, I am wearing this armband.”

Hearing Philip’s words, the baron dropped his head helplessly.

“I give up all my rights. Please don’t make this a huge issue later. In return, please don’t touch my bloodline.”

Philip wiped the blood from his body and returned home early in the morning. That was after he ordered one of his men to go after the woman he had lunch with the day before. And he started cleaning the mansion in front of Haley, playing the role of a real boy of his age.

‘If I can’t cure my father, I’ll have to pay for forgiveness through death.’

He had decided to get rid of Haley that very day because he was guilty of deceiving her and her sister. He no longer wanted to live in a way that was considered naive by criminals like him. Despite the fact that he felt a little happy with the woman he met for the first time yesterday. That was her. She was just someone who appeared in his dream one day, that’s all.

Philip didn’t believe it, to the point that he suspected Haley who had returned home for a while, escaping from surveillance.

“Oppa. Yesterday Haley’s arm felt as warm as her mother’s.”

[e/n: oppa is a term used by a younger sister to address her older brother.]

Rwan, who was scrubbing the laundry with his small hands spoke delightfully. As she rolled up his sleeves, the child’s arms was revealed even more. Philip also thought that his sister shouldn’t be doing things like cleaning or washing.

‘Now that I have free time and enough money, I should hire someone to do the housework.’

Those who used to work at the residence did not hesitate to leave when the Dunger family ran out of money. Some even stole valuables from their homes before running away. When Philip wondered if there was anyone they could trust, Rwan spoke again.

“You know, oppa? I want you to marry a nice, pretty girl like Haley unnie later.”

“Why?”

“Although she has a small chest, but I think she has a bigger heart than anyone else.”

Rwan blushed and said, “I hope Haley unnie comes to our house often.” 

Philip felt dumbfounded while staring at her. He realized he couldn’t take care of his sister properly because he was only thinking about the household’s economic situation.

“In that case, should I tell Haley to live in our house for the rest of her life?”

“Really? Can you do that?”

“Anything is possible if you want it, Rwan.”

Rwan smiled widely at his words. It was a smile like their father used to show them when he was still healthy.

‘I should also think about confining that woman up in our house.’

Rwan hummed excitedly. Philip patted her head because he thought his sister was cute. Not long after, Haley came in with someone whom Philip was not familiar with.

“Rwan. Would you mind to wait here while you clean your room? I have something to do.”

Rwan opened his mouth blankly, and immediately nodded and returned to his room. Philip heard the conversation between Haley and the woman she brought in front of his father’s bed.

Haley and her mother were talking about Thomas Dunger’s illness, which turned out to be a curse.

‘Curse?’

Attaching his ear to the door, he listened intently to the conversation of the people in the room. Philip was startled when someone placed a hand on his back.

“Oppa, what are you doing here?”

Philip looked back and saw his sister. It looked like she had come out to look for her brother after cleaning her room.

“Oh, I was worried. I think father’s treatment is over, so should we go inside together?”

“Really? Has father gotten better? Has he recovered?”

“Haha. Let’s hear the details directly from Haley.”

Philip entered his father’s room with his sister with an innocent expression.

“How’s our father? He’s good now, right?”

“Your father will wake up tomorrow. I have something to say to him after he wakes up. Can I have a sleepover here again today?”

Philip nodded at Haley’s request.

On the other hand, Philip’s face became a little darker. If his father must have been cursed by a real witch, as these women said, only these women knew how to perfectly take care of him.

‘One long life line.’

Philip canceled his plan to hurt Haley.

The next day, Philip’s father woke up from his coma.

“Father!!!”

Little Rwan sobbed and hugged his father, and his awakened father looked confused.

“How could I be… here. What had happened all this time?”

Philip explained to his father, who was seemingly confused.

“Two years ago, you were found unconscious in front of the house. Father, did you meet someone or remember anything before you lose consciousness?”

Philip planned to find someone who dared to curse his father and avenge him. His father fainted and the family fell apart not long after. To the point that he had to lose the butler and all the servants in the house.

Only criminals entered the mansion around this time. They brought fake debts to the innocent and untrained young master. It was when they lost all their wealth.

This became an opportunity for Philip, who was just a young master who once grew up beautifully, to hang out with the kids in the back alleys and managed to become the leader of the dark organization in such a short time. He turned a corner and joined a street gang called the Black Scorpion, rose through the ranks and become the head of the underworld with his natural agility and fighting skills. As soon as he reached that position, all he did was to turn around the business his father had once managed.

Thomas Dunger shook his head.

“That happened before I fell …. Unfortunately, I don’t remember anything at all.”

Philip’s father held his head and seemed so confused. Philip watched the scene coldly and had one thought in his mind, he must visited his Godfather again.

In reality, it was the godfather who benefited the most from his father’s illness.

‘If I track him down, I’ll definitely get something.’

On the other hand, Philip was also thinking of keeping an eye on Haley, so that the woman would not disappear from his life. Even to prolong his father’s life a little longer than cursed. Also, in order not to lose the smile of his younger sister, Rwan.

Philip decided to use his looks as a weapon and shake the woman’s heart. He believed someone who is in love always makes the wrong choice.

Philip viewed Haley as a silly woman who would be naive when she fell in love. Philip was certain she had no experience with men.

‘Should I stay by her side for a while?’

When he do this with a stick and carrot approach moderately, clues as to who cursed her father will certainly begin to appear one by one.
