Chapter 44: The Girl, Day of Revenge(2)
by AfuhfuihgsThe Girl, Day of Revenge(2)
The Hyeonhwa organization’s building located in the 8th District slums.
The man guarding the entrance of the building fiddled with the knife he was holding and glanced at his empty side.
“Damn it… Why did that woman suddenly get angry and take the person on duty away?”
Raje, who had come down earlier with an annoyed expression and taken away the woman who was on duty with him.
Thanks to that, the man who ended up guarding this wide hall alone was in a state of boiling discontent.
As she was Cha Baek-gi’s own daughter and the action leader, the man couldn’t even speak properly in front of Raje, but if she wasn’t around, even that Lee Yeon-ah couldn’t stop him from badmouthing.
“Anyway, just because she got a good gene mana stone implanted, she’s just throwing her weight around… She should get stabbed once and die.”
The man’s grumbling filled the entrance hall.
The man’s voice was so noisy that it came constantly like birds chirping.
However, after that dissatisfied voice flowed out for a while, the man soon sighed as he recalled the low-ranking kids who had died a few days ago.
“Because that trash Neon left the slums… Geez, did they think they could leave too? All the sandbags died because of that bitch alone.”
One piece of trash named Neon who had escaped and fled the slums a week ago.
If only Neon alone had fled and it ended there, it would have been an incident with no problem, but unfortunately, the existence of one pioneer who succeeded in escaping was enough to plant hope in other trash.
Thanks to that, trash who attempted to escape thinking, maybe I can too?
The trash who were recaptured after attempting escape on a large scale mostly lost their lives or only a few useful ones became disabled by Cha Baek-gi’s orders.
All the trash that duty keepers like the man used as sandbags had been almost annihilated because of one guy named Neon.
“If only that bitch hadn’t been there…”
Why did she escape and cause this situation when she could have just lived quietly eating bread in a corner of the slum warehouse?
She’s probably dead in some back alley by now, but the man swung his hand in the air with a “pak!” as he recalled the feeling of hitting her in the past.
“Hitting her like pababak! felt so good… What a shame, what a shame…”
Although it had only been a week, recalling it vividly brought back such nostalgic memories.
However, at memories that only brought emptiness when recalled, the man put aside useless thoughts and began to focus on his duty work again.
After all, if he was caught by other organization members while just playing around like this, he would have to be prepared to get slapped a few times.
“Yaaawn!”
Therefore, the man let out a wide yawn and straightened his gaze from the entrance where he had been standing.
Boom—!!!
“Wh-what’s this all of a sudden?!”
The man shouted in surprise at something that fell like a meteor into his straight gaze.
Something that fell in front of the building’s entrance paved with asphalt, raising fierce dust.
The man swallowed and slowly began to approach where that something had fallen, and before he could take even five steps.
Whoosh—!
A human figure revealed itself, cutting through the thick dust.
“Seems I arrived properly, fortunately.”
“…Huh?”
White hair stained with various colors and blue eyes looking up from under that hair.
The moment he took in the girl muttering while looking around, the man unconsciously let out a questioning sound.
That was because the girl was none other than that trash the man had been recalling just now.
For some unknown reason, Neon, who had clearly succeeded in escaping, had returned to the Hyeonhwa organization without any problem.
And at that face that couldn’t be more welcome, the man naturally burst into laughter and approached Neon who had come out cutting through the dust.
“Hey, you bastard! I thought you’d be dead somewhere after running away, but you’re alive?! Did you come back on your own? You’re smart like an idiot!”
“……”
“But it seems you ate well after running away? You’ve become a bit plump from being skin and bones! It’ll be fun to hit you!”
Neon’s body, which had clearly never even eaten a proper meal until she ran away, was somehow in a state where she had gained appropriate weight like an ordinary girl.
However, whatever the reason, for the man it was nothing more or less than the fact that a sandbag he had to hit had become healthier, so it was rather a pleasant thing.
Moreover, seeing that she had come back on her own despite succeeding in escaping, it seemed she had realized that the corner of this organization’s warehouse was more comfortable than the outside.
But whether she knew or not about such feelings of the man, Neon standing in front of the man was just scanning the entrance hall with an indifferent gaze.
“…Where did the other person on duty go? Surely the entrance is guarded by two people.”
“What are you asking, you bastard who should be stuck in a warehouse corner? More importantly, let’s quickly go meet your father. He’ll surely be very happy to see you. Hm?”
“Those words… It seems you’re alone here.”
At the sight of Neon whose atmosphere had completely changed from before after running away once, the man cursed and reached out his hand.
He didn’t know what she had been through, but for a kid to become this lax in just a week.
Thinking he should report to Cha Baek-gi to have her trained, the man reached out his hand and.
Grab—
That hand was futilely caught by Neon.
“…Oh? You trash bastard, how dare you block my hand?”
“Your face… I still remember. Because you’re the guy who came to find me whenever you had time and beat me up disgustingly.”
Neon glared at the man and muttered like that.
And at the truly ridiculous current situation, the man burst into a hollow laugh and raised his voice.
“Haha! Even speaking casually now? This has really gone crazy…”
However, there were two things the man was missing in his excitement.
One was that Neon was the very person who had fallen like a meteor just now.
And the second was that the man’s own hand caught by Neon wasn’t moving even a bit.
“…You’ll die today too.”
Crack—!!!
What happened in an instant.
At the horrible sound of bones being crushed, the man looked at his left arm where he felt a sharp pain, and the grotesque sight of white bone fragments spurting out with blood entered the man’s eyes.
And the pain that rushed in the moment he recognized that.
“…?! Guh?! Aaaaargh—!!!!!”
The man clutched his crushed left arm and rolled on the floor with a scream, and Neon’s foot firmly pressed down on the head of the man rolling like that on the floor.
“Huh…?”
“Yes, your words earlier were right. Father will probably be happy to see me.”
“W-wait a moment… I’m sorry, I’m sorry so please…!!!”
Neon uttered incomprehensible words again while slowly putting strength into the foot pressing on his head.
Realizing what Neon was trying to do at that sight, the man earnestly begged while shedding tears and snot, but…
Unfortunately, in Neon’s revenge, righteous choices like mercy had long since been worn away and disappeared decades ago.
“Yes, he’ll have no choice but to be happy.”
“Sa-save…!”
Crunch—!
Neon’s foot that stomped down with strength.
The sound of a light but helpless death rang out beautifully.
Crunch—!
The man’s head burst and blood sprayed, and all sorts of dirty things that popped out from inside his head dirtied Neon’s shoes and the entrance floor.
She killed him. Neon herself had really killed an evil person from the past.
The sensation of her first kill filled Neon’s mind with the reality felt from her toes, but it didn’t last long.
“Phew…”
Was it because she had grown up witnessing too many and even more terrible killings right before her eyes? The sensation of killing that had filled her mind like fog soon dulled and blurred.
Overheated emotions flowing out of her mouth along with a small sigh.
And after shaking off the filth by lightly shaking her feet, Neon leisurely walked past the entrance and slowly entered the building’s hall.
“The central hall… It’s so big.”
A place Neon herself, who had always been cooped up in a warehouse corner, could never set foot in.
The interior of the building, which seemed to have money plastered all over it despite being built in the slums, was truly luxurious, but at the same time, thinking that people like the man she had just killed frequented this place, disgust rose up her throat.
And after being like that for about ten seconds or so.
Ding—
Suddenly, from the upper inside of the hall, the sound of an elevator was heard, and then organization members numbering dozens walked out towards the hall.
“What fearless bastard dared to boldly infiltrate the Hyeonhwa organization building?!”
“Huh? What… Isn’t that the trash?”
“What? Really? Why is that bitch here? Didn’t she run away?”
The organization members who soon took positions here and there in the hall discovered Neon and whispered.
The main topics were why she was here and why she had returned to the organization.
But after that whispering for a while, soon a huge man who seemed to be the leader came out pushing through the organization members and looked down at Neon and said:
“I don’t know well why that trash is here either, but for now that bitch killed our organization member. So break all her limbs and bring her to the boss. Got it!”
“””Yes! Understood!!!”””
Was he the group leader? At the huge man’s words, organization members immediately ran at Neon with weapons from the stairs, railings, and far end of the corridor.
Although Neon unconsciously trembled as each one remained in her memory, she began to release her muscles that had been under control again due to the ecstasy that seemed to devour her entire body even more.
“Catch that bitch and beat her up!”
“I’ll cut off one arm!”
“Don’t cut it, you bastard! It’s fun to hit when the limbs are intact!”
She had only used 30% of her strength when killing the man at the entrance just now, so how much strength should she release now when facing dozens of people?
Should she release up to 50% since she shouldn’t be pushed back if several people press down?
Or up to 70% in preparation for possible gene mana stone abilities?
“Or maybe…”
It might not be bad to just hit with full power in one shot.
A series of thoughts in an instant.
The thinking was short, and the decision was quick.
Neon’s muscles that began to loosen with cracking sounds.
And savoring the feeling of omnipotence felt simply by strength alone, Neon thrust her fist towards the organization members running to fill her front.
Whoosh—!!!!!
Neon’s fist thrust out cutting through the air.
Immediately after, a huge impact struck the Hyeonhwa organization’s building.
Rumble—!!!!!
“Kyaaah?!”
“Damn it, did she go to the building? We missed each other!”
While searching an alley near the Hyeonhwa organization’s building, at the sudden vibration that came, Raje cursed and turned her body.
Just when she had come out of the building, that trash had entered the building.
Moreover, Neon was rampaging in the building causing this much impact, though how she did it was unknown.
In a situation where she couldn’t help but curse, Raje frowned and started running back towards the organization’s building.
“Father… I just need to go straight to where Father is!”
[Pipi!]
Whoosh—!
At the same time, Raje used the spirit clan’s gene mana stone she had implanted to summon a wind spirit and rode on the wind created by the spirit.
Anyway, the only person warned in the precognition was Cha Baek-gi.
In other words, it meant that if she just protected Cha Baek-gi, Raje herself could block the precognition.
Then she would ride the wind and run straight to the top floor of the building where Cha Baek-gi would be.
With that thought, Raje had summoned the wind spirit, but after smoothly running through the air for a while.
[Piii?!]
“Wh-what, why suddenly… Kyak?!”
Pang—!
Suddenly, the wind spirit carrying Raje screamed, and then the spirit was immediately reverse-summoned and disappeared.
The wind spirit that disappeared in the air like a firecracker bursting.
Of course, Raje, who had been riding on top of it, rolled on the ground pulled by gravity, and seeing that, her subordinate hurriedly shouted and ran over.
“Raje-nim!”
“Fuck… Shut up, it’s noisy!!”
“Y-yes! I’m sorry…”
At Raje’s irritated shout, the subordinate who had run over apologized and bowed her head.
Then Raje got up from the ground grinding her teeth and dusted off her clothes that had gotten dirty, and tilted her head recalling the situation just now.
“Why did the spirit suddenly disappear? I shouldn’t have neglected affinity recently…”
Although the slums were an environment difficult to raise spirits, Raje had not neglected time to communicate with spirits.
That was because the spirit clan was a race that communicated with nature spirits and borrowed their abilities.
She couldn’t have neglected it since she could only use the spirits’ power by building affinity with them.
“But why on earth…”
“Hello?”
But why on earth did it disappear.
Just before uttering that one sentence, a girl appeared cutting off her words, and Raje was startled and raised her guard.
As if removing a hidden curtain, a white-haired girl who appeared from a place where there had been nothing.
She was wearing clothes too clean to be thought of as an ordinary slum resident, and her attitude that felt very relaxed was that of outsiders no matter how you looked at it.
“I got rid of some insignificant wind that was blowing, but there was a human riding on it. Are you okay?”
“You… What are you. Why are you doing this?”
The girl who confessed to getting rid of her spirit while grinning.
Punishment Team, or Defense Team? The names of the Five Major Powers that had been pressuring the slums of each district recently flashed through Raje’s mind.
Although it was difficult to think that such a young girl was personnel of the Five Major Powers, if the girl had really gotten rid of her wind spirit, she had to be guarded against sufficiently.
That was because the spirit clan was a race evaluated as powerful enough to easily rank in the top 10 in the world.
It was not something that could be challenged by any ordinary race’s gene mana stone.
Therefore, when Raje asked that while raising her guard to the fullest, the girl let out a nasal sound for a moment and then pointed at the Hyeonhwa organization’s building that had shaken greatly just now with the club she was holding.
“You see, there’s a kid I’m quite fond of in there. But if you go, that kid might die, so…”
“So…?”
“I’m going to kill you here.”
Since she said so, of course it would be so.
The girl who answered indifferently with such an attitude soon gripped her club properly and threw up the old hat she was holding in her other hand towards the sky.
Flutter—
The hat that flew up towards the sky then melted away like a snowflake.
And beyond that, the girl with her still unchanged relaxed attitude pointed her club at Raje and said:
“Let’s end this quickly since there’s no time.”
Because I want to watch Neon’s revenge as much as possible if possible.
