Chapter 1

탐양시는 비록 동남 연안에 위치해 있지만, 한여름이 되면 여전히 견디기 힘들 정도로 무더웠다. 평소 북적거리던 번화가는 이미 인적이 한 명도 보이지 않았고, 지나가는 자동차도 몇 대 없었다.

길가 풀숲에 잠복해 있던 이윤효는 손목시계를 보았다. 자정 12시까지 십여 초 남았다.

이번 임무는 겉보기엔 간단해 보였지만, 자신의 몸에 있는 두 군데 총상이 아직 완전히 낫지 않아 전성기 실력의 70% 정도밖에 발휘할 수 없을 것 같았다. 부디 예상치 못한 일이 생기지 않기를... 이런 생각이 들자, 그는 저도 모르게 깊은 숨을 들이마시며 자신의 몸 상태를 최상으로 조절했다.

"쉿..."

바로 그때, 분홍색 BMW 한 대가 갑자기 멀지 않은 모퉁이에서 나타났다. BMW의 속도는 꽤 빨랐고, 운전자가 집에 급히 돌아가는 모양이었다.

"역시 왔군! 여성 운전자의 운전 실력을 처음 경험해보는데, 생각만 해도 좀 긴장되는걸..." 이윤효는 히히 웃으며, 그 BMW가 자신의 옆을 지나갈 때쯤 갑자기 길가에서 뛰쳐나갔다...

맞다, 바로 보험사기였다! 그것도 단순하고 거친 보험사기!

"쿵!"

둔탁한 소리와 함께 강한 충격으로 이윤효는 뒤로 날아가 3미터 떨어진 시멘트 도로에 세게 떨어졌다. 분홍색 BMW 안의 여성 운전자는 분명히 이 갑작스러운 사고에 놀랐는지, 10초가 지나서야 차 문을 열고 나왔다.

그녀는 공포에 질린 표정으로, 한 손으로는 입을 가리고, 다른 한 손으로는 떨리며 바닥에 누워있는 이윤효를 가리키며 말을 잇지 못했다. 대학을 갓 졸업했지만, 부예청은 이미 운전면허를 딴 지 몇 년이 되었고, 오늘 밤이 처음으로 교통사고를 낸 날이었다.

그녀는 가로등 빛을 빌려 미동도 없는 이윤효를 살펴보았다. 그의 머리카락은 흐트러져 있고 얼굴은 창백했으며, 아랫배 부분에서는 피가 배어 나오는 것 같았다. 순간 어찌할 바를 몰라 떨리는 목소리로 물었다. "저기... 당신, 괜찮으세요?"

이 정도 충격은 이윤효에게 아무것도 아니었다. 만약 방금 전 장면을 슬로모션으로 돌려본다면, 분홍색 BMW가 그의 발에 부딪히지 않았다는 것을 알 수 있을 것이다. 그가 뒤로 날아간 이유는 충돌 순간 양손으로 BMW 차 앞부분을 누르고, 동시에 양발로 땅을 힘껏 차면서 관성을 이용해 스스로 뒤로 구른 것이었다.

이런 민첩한 몸놀림으로 보험사기를 치다니, 당연히 백발백중이었다.

하지만 이윤효는 지금 정말 황당했다. 자신의 피가 바닥에 흐르고 있는데, 이 멍청한 여자는 아직도 그런 무의미한 질문을 하다니! 이런 상황에서는 당연히 자신을 차에 태우고 바로 병원으로 가야 하는 것 아닌가!

병원만 들어가면, 그녀에게 붙어서 임무를 순조롭게 완수할 수 있을 텐데...

하지만 사람의 계획이 하늘의 뜻을 따라가지 못하는 법. 부예청은 이윤효가 계속 바닥에 누워 반응이 없자 더욱 긴장했고, 잠시 망설인 후 갑자기 차로 돌아갔다.

"뭐야! 이 멍청한 여자가 뺑소니를 치려는 건가?" 이윤효가 막 기절한 척하는 것을 그만두고 일어나려는 찰나, 상대방은 단지 차에서 휴대폰을 가지러 간 것뿐이었다. 부예청이 휴대폰을 들고 구조 전화를 거는 것을 보고, 그는 다시 고민에 빠졌다. 속으로 기도했다. "아가씨, 제발 경찰에 신고하지 마세요! 경찰이 끼어들면, 내 몸의 총상을 어떻게 설명해요? 아... 이런 보험사기 같은 걸 하지 말걸 그랬어!"

그가 계획을 바꿀지 고민하는 사이, 부예청은 이미 전화를 걸어 상대방에게 당황해하며 외쳤다. "샤오퉁... 나, 내가 사람을 치어 죽인 것 같아! 방금 말을 걸었는데, 전혀 반응이 없고, 피도 흐르는 것 같아... 너무 무서워, 어떻게 해야 할까?"

전화 너머의 샤오퉁은 분명히 그녀보다 훨씬 침착했다. 잠시 생각한 후 바로 물었다. "예청, 일단 진정해. 지금 어디에 있는지 말해봐."

부예청은 고개를 들어 길가의 광고판을 보고 급히 대답했다. "방금 신뢰백화점을 지났어, 집에서 그리 멀지 않아."

"주변에 지켜보는 사람이 있어?" 전화 너머의 샤오퉁이 가장 먼저 생각한 것은 주변에 목격자가 있는지 확인하는 것이었다.

"없어! 거리에 아무도 없어..." 바로 거리가 텅 비어 있었기에, 부예청은 방심하여 이윤효가 뛰쳐나오는 것을 보지 못했던 것이다.

"그럼 쉽게 해결할 수 있겠네. 지금 당장 그를 차에 태우고, 집으로 데려와." 전화 너머의 샤오퉁은 잠시 멈추고 계속 말했다. "지금은 민감한 시기야, 절대로 부정적인 뉴스에 연루되면 안 돼. 만약 네가 위험 운전으로 기소되면, 최종 결과가 어떻든 우리 그룹의 상장 계획에 예측할 수 없는 영향을 미칠 거야."

부예청은 분명히 그렇게 멀리 생각하지 못했고, 의아한 표정으로 물었다. "이건 그저 평범한 교통사고일 뿐인데, 그렇게 심각해질 리가 없잖아?"

"예청, 넌 아직도 너무 순진해! 비즈니스는 전쟁터와 같아서, 표면적으로는 회사 사장들이 만나면 웃고 있지만, 일단 그들의 이익을 건드리면 순식간에 등 뒤에 칼을 꽂을 거야. 우리 천계 그룹이 성공적으로 상장하면 현재의 삼족정립 구도를 완전히 깨뜨릴 거고, 그때는 시장에서 또 한 번 피비린내 나는 가격 전쟁이 벌어질 거야!"

부예청을 완전히 설득하기 위해, 전화 너머의 샤오퉁은 다시 한번 상기시켰다. "잊지 마, 그룹 전체가 반년 동안 쏟아부은 노력에 비해 더 중요한 점이 있어. 우리는 일본의 카와마츠 펀드와 성과보수 계약을 맺었어. 만약 올해 상장 계획이 실패하면, 카와마츠 펀드는 7천만 달러라는 초저가로 우리 천계 그룹의 절대 지배권을 획득하게 될 거야!"

"안 돼! 천계 그룹은 아버지의 평생 심혈이야, 절대로 일본인 손에 넘어가면 안 돼..." 이렇게 말하면서도, 부예청은 고개를 돌려 바닥에 누워있는 이윤효를 한번 쳐다보며 마음속으로 여전히 망설였다. "샤오퉁, 그는... 정말로 피를 흘리고 있어 보여. 만약 사람이 죽으면 어떡해?"

"부 아저씨가 일본에 가시기 전에 나한테 그 BMW를 약간 개조하라고 했어. 네가 액셀을 끝까지 밟아도 시속 100킬로미터를 넘지 않을 거야. 그러니 그의 부상은 심하지 않을 거야. 왜 피를 흘리는지는 검사 후에나 알 수 있을 거고. 잊지 마, 내 친구 알리는 전문 외과 의사고, 자치도 조수로 있어. 그를 집으로 데려오는 것은 병원에 데려가는 것과 큰 차이가 없을 거야."

"하지만..."

"더 말하지 마! 네가 더 지체하면 모두에게 좋을 게 없어. 빨리 차를 몰고 돌아와. 내가 지금 알리에게 연락할게, 5분 후에 집에서 보자." 말이 끝나자마자, 전화 너머의 샤오퉁은 바로 전화를 끊었다. 아마도 임시 의료실을 준비하러 갔을 것이다.

부예청은 입술을 깨물며, 결국 이윤효를 집으로 데려가기로 결심했다. 이렇게 하는 것이 위험하긴 했지만, 천계 그룹과 카와마츠 펀드의 성과보수 계약을 생각하면 다른 선택의 여지가 없었다.

이때, 옆에 누워있는 이윤효의 입가에 성공한 미소가 스쳐 지나갔다가 순식간에 사라졌다...

“Where is that slut of yours, Creedon? Must be a hell of a lay. The coffee is going to be cold,” Michael complained. “What's the point in keeping her around? She's not even your breed.”
Not his breed?
“You know me, I like nice accessories, Besides, she is smarter than she looks."
An Accessory?
“Stop toying with the girl. You're letting her get too close to us. Not to mention the scandal you’ll have with the press once they realize she's a poor country girl. America will fall in love with her, you will just crush them when you’re done with her. Poor Image...” The sound of fits hitting the table silenced the room.

“She’s mine! She is no concern of yours. I can fuck her, breed her, or cast her aside, remember who's in charge here. “If I want to use her as a cum bucket, I will." His anger explosive.
Breed me? Cast me aside? Cum bucket? I think not!*

“She is pretty, but she’s of no value to you, Creedon. A pebble in a sea of diamonds, darling. You can have any woman you desire. Fuck her out of your system, and sign off on her,” Latrisha spat. “That one is going to become a pain in your ass. You need a bitch that will submit.”

Someone, please, come mop up the word vomit this woman has just spewed.
