by fnovelpia“Shazette’s boss, come out!!”
“Who is Natagon’s boss? My sister wants this place!! I, the golden fist, will kneel.”
Venus’s conquests continued.
At this time, Ronica distributed the money she earned from conquering other organizations to her subordinates as living expenses and pocket money to boost their morale and provide strong motivation for their conquest activities.
Organizational integration and recruitment.
Adequate rest and training.
Most of them were smaller organizations than Venus and were organized along the Lowen taxation line, so it wasn’t that difficult.
Thus, Venus not only unified Avitel and Martel, but also conquered three more small-scale organizations in one week. Thanks to this, Venus became a rising divinity that no one knew about in the slums.
And a problem arose.
“Boss Oscar, come out!!”
“… Why is it so quiet here?”
“I think you ran away because you knew we would come?”
“Where?”
“Isn’t it you?”
Surrounding organizations began to avoid Venus.
Including newly joined members, Venus has over 40 members.
Naturally, there were not many organizations willing to fight back.
Conquest activities slowed down for a while.
*
A peaceful day passed.
Venus was unable to move any further as other organizations noticed and hid or avoided it altogether.
Then at some point.
“Captain! Our kids who were patrolling were beaten and taken away by another gang!!”
“Where are you! Get the kids ready right now!!”
A counterattack came.
As is often the case, when you start to grow in size, there are bound to be checks.
Of course, each time, Ronica personally led the gang members to confront them, but the fight became longer and longer because the enemies moved strategically.
A gang member who is kidnapped.
Surveillance throughout the area.
“Is this Venus? Eat this!!”
Even childish provocations such as throwing stones at buildings.
As the organizations in the surrounding slums, who did not like Venus, united and harassed the members, Ronica could not help but be troubled.
“Keu… If you’re crowded into one place, there’s nothing you can do because another place is targeting you!!”
It’s enough to make Ronica of the world angry.
A grumbling voice echoed through Venus’ second-floor room, which was now completely Ronica’s space.
Although I proudly took on the position of head of an organization at a young age, I did not expect from the beginning that I would be able to overcome all the difficulties on my own.
so.
“Kaang~”
You are doing well enough.
“Oh. Black guy. I looked ugly for a moment. But don’t worry. There is no way I, who will become a hero in the future, will be defeated by something like this!”
As I rub my cheek in my hand, Ronika lifts it up and strokes my mane. After inhabiting the body of the phantom beast, I had become accustomed to this type of emotional expression, so I no longer felt any resistance to it.
If he can calm down with this.
ruler.
Stroke as much as you want!
“Purring~”
“Kehehe. Are you feeling good?”
I felt a pleasant sensation and thought quietly.
But where was the place that tormented my disciple? .
Naturally, I have no intention of letting this situation go. If we leave it like this, Ronica will continue to suffer from constant harassment.
If things continue as they are now, the members of the Venus organization will no longer be able to endure it and will leave one by one.
But don’t worry.
I specialize in this kind of vicious fighting.
There is a fishy smell.
It’s natural to try to keep Venus in check, but things are moving too systematically now.
Can slum organizations really come together so quickly and act like an alliance? Guys who keep an eye on each other and only target each other when they hit and run?
There is probably something behind it.
The focal point that brought together the slum organizations.
Usually, in these cases, it is a place that has more power or is willing to pay a price worth taking the risk.
‘The information power will be high… ‘Judgment and response are quick.’
They are very good at dealing with Venus quietly without revealing themselves.
If it were the same slum organization, it would be so famous and powerful that even though it could devour other slums, it would be left behind as a shield.
This is definitely not a level that Ronica, a novice leader, can deal with.
‘I need to find out in advance.’
It is the role of a teacher to watch people overcome hardships and rise again, but they cannot leave them alone in danger either.
For the safety of my students.
Let this teacher try a little harder.
“Sniff. Kaang.”
“Huh? Is there somewhere you want to go?”
“Kruang.”
“Alone?… ”
To do so, it is necessary to obtain Ronika’s implicit permission. Because if he disappears on his own, he’ll be walking around the neighborhood making noise.
Persuasion was not difficult.
No, I agreed from the beginning. He didn’t try to force me to act, perhaps out of consideration for me.
“Negro… huh. Do whatever you want! I don’t mind!!”
However, I could see that he was trying to hide his gloomy appearance, as if he was going to cry at any moment, so I had no choice but to tell him an important fact.
“Kyaowong. Cororant.”
“Trying to use your abilities?… ”
“Kiyaang!”
“Skill?”
“Kangkang, kikkaaa~”
“Summoning a black man?… Do I have that skill?”
Ronica’s one and only skill.
Summons.
Ronica became a temporary awakener through a contract with me and gained a skill, but since she has never entered the tower, she doesn’t know much about this concept.
I told you that.
It took some time because communication wasn’t perfect, but we were able to convey what we wanted.
“Good. then… Summon a black man!!… … … Is this okay? I don’t feel anything… .”
“Kang.”
Good job.
Tiring~
◎︎ Ronica summons you.
Since I’m a temporary awakener, I can’t even bring up the system window and I don’t know if I’ve used any skills.
Because I can tell.
Since he doesn’t like to be away from me, I think this skill will give him a lot of peace of mind.
Although it is only once a day.
Then take a look.
Your strongest skill!!
◎︎ Respond to summons.
Pot!!
“Wow!!!”
In a flash, I was moved in front of Ronica.
He suddenly hugged me who appeared right in front of me. And then I really summoned a nigger!? He made a fuss.
“Kehehe. Even if we are apart, we can still be together!! Black guy. I’m so happy~~”
He looks happier than expected.
Should I have told you sooner?
After looking at him for a moment, I gave him a pat on the head and got out of his arms.
“Kang.”
then.
I will come back.
“Wow! Be careful and have fun!!”
The atmosphere brightened again.
I’m not going to have fun, but… There is no need to correct it.
fault.
Leaped to the window.
*
fault!
I left the Venus building and climbed to the roof.
As if asking where I was going, I jumped up with the dazzling sunlight shining down on me and reached a height where I could see dozens of houses around me at a glance.
In that brief moment, I saw the slum.
‘It must be around there.’
The center of the slum.
The moment I checked that place, the wind moved under my feet and my light body took a second leap.
After landing on a nearby roof, he jumped from roof to roof and quickly headed toward the center. Because the culprit is probably there.
If you ask me how I know, it’s just a feeling.
It’s just a feeling I got from frequently dealing with clever guys in the tower. To me, I can sense where the annoying enemies are and what they’re up to and acting annoying.
Is it a sense of transcendence?
Or is it the experience gained from dealing with countless people?
If you ask me to explain, I don’t have the confidence to explain it well. It’s just as natural as finding the location of an inn in an unfamiliar city at once when you were a mercenary.
◎︎ Innumerable experiences and obvious evil karma react to produce transcendental intuition.
◎︎ Acquire the skill ‘Detect Evil.’
Ah, now I can explain.
It’s thanks to that skill. Anyway, that’s it.
If I were to think about whether my intuition or that skill came first, I would be speechless… There’s no need to bother explaining it.
What’s important now is that the person who harassed my student is over there.
I won’t bother you the same way.
Tadat!!
As I entered the center of the slum, the momentum of the surrounding area changed at some point.
Those who wander around.
A sharp atmosphere.
That felt even more intense.
Indeed, unlike Venus, which was used as a pickpocket in the outskirts, this place is real. It was safe to say that it was not a slum but a den of crime.
It is probably a clever organization that is deliberately located deep in slums with high crime rates and is doing various things in the city.
‘If you’re going to make a fuss like this, you might have made some kind of deal with the city lord.’
Even in my past life, I met several people who ran the underworld in this way.
I killed them all because they were arguing.
“Kaaang~”
I yawned and moved again.
Secretly so as not to be caught.
We went deep into their stronghold.
*
“Venus has not been able to expand its power as expected and is in conflict with surrounding organizations. If things continue like this, it won’t even last a week and it will collapse.”
“It’s going smoothly. No matter how much you fly or crawl, they are still there.”
Rosetta’s boss, Erica, crossed her legs in a pose and nodded with satisfaction. In his hand was a steaming teacup.
Srp.
After leisurely taking a sip of tea, he handed it to the subordinate next to him.
The subordinate who accepted the car was Jonathan.
“You think so too, right?”
“No, of course.”
He, who wore a prosthetic arm, had been treating Erica very kindly in the past few days. This is because he is now only a junior employee of Rosetta.
‘Why am I serving this bitch…? .’
I don’t like the way I’m being treated, but I can’t show it. No matter how good Jonathan is, he is still cute in front of Erica.
Even more so now that I have lost my right hand.
Is it because of that?
Erica spoke lightly, as if being patronizing.
“Be patient. I’ll at least avenge your right hand. If you take care of it like you do now, it won’t be a problem to give you a seat again.”
“Thank you… .”
“Okay. First, go out and do the laundry. Since you got a prosthetic hand, you can fix it, right?”
“… Yes.”
Squeak~
Erica glanced at Jonathan’s severed wrist as he opened the door and left, and after sending out all his subordinates, he walked to the window alone and muttered.
“He was a guy I liked because he had a lot of talent, but he ended up getting his wrist cut by a young girl… .”
Luxurious window and curtain decoration.
Looking down at the decrepit slum, she guessed the identity of Ronika, who leads Venus.
With his young body, he defeated 3-star Jonathan.
Integration of 5 organizations in less than 10 days.
This is not something an ordinary child can do.
Then there is only one answer.
“Is he Yeongsik, a nobleman who has hidden his identity?”
I already expected it.
This is a time when it is customary for noble children to awaken with help up to the 4th floor of the tower.
In other worlds, they call it a bus.
If you pass the 4th floor awakening, you can always obtain a skill. In other words, a noble child named Ronika must have been lucky enough to acquire a powerful skill.
“A noble child who hid his identity for entertainment crawled into the slums and cut Jonathan’s wrists. It’s a picture that explains it well. Because there are all kinds of people in the world.”
Then, while shaking his eyes slightly, he added softly.
“It has to be like that… It has to be that way.”
In fact, the moment Erica first saw Jonathan’s wrist, she was very shocked on the inside, although she did not show it.
A cleanly severed wrist could not be imitated, and it was a cross-section of a blow so sharp that it was impossible to even understand part of the opponent’s skills.
Even from a distance where the sword can’t reach?
“… after. What are you worried about? There’s no way such a talented person could be here. It’s a wound that can’t be made unless it’s a skill.”
You can’t overuse those skills.
It wouldn’t be very difficult to subdue it.
Muttering.
Nobility status is not important.
Rather, stop taking money by taking hostages.
“Since he is still a child, it would be perfect to coax him a bit and put him under me to use him. Hehehe. Come to think of it, it was a fortune rolling in, right?”
Erica smiled happily.
A skill that can cut down a skilled person like Jonathan from afar will be useful in the future.
“Key meow~”
Did he sense her feelings like this?
A crying sound was heard in response.
“… Huh?”
Erica lowered her gaze slightly at the sound coming from right in front of her. A black baby animal whose name was unknown, whether it was a cat or not, was sitting by the window.
“Hmm? Did you come up here alone? I don’t think it’s a cat… The strange look is quite cute.”
In fact, before Erica was the head of a scary slum, she was also a girl who liked cute things. I just didn’t show it because I didn’t want my subordinates to find out.
But wouldn’t it be okay if it was a pet?
“Come here~”
Erica slightly stretched out her hand.
Her friendly voice, which no one could easily hear, tickled the baby animal’s ears.
“Kiaang~”
The baby animal seemed happy, too, as it approached the hand and rubbed its cheek. It was similar to a cat rubbing its cheeks as if showing affection.
“Hmm… That’s cute. It would suit me very well. I will make you my first pet. Rejoice! Meeting this great owner.”
Erica, dazzled by a single act of cuteness, held the baby animal in her arms.
Stop.
“… What was it?”
It felt like a terrible life for just a moment.
“Quoong?… .”
However, he quickly shook his head as he looked at the innocent-looking beast’s eyes.
“Is it because of my mood?”
Erica didn’t pay much attention and just passed on. It’s probably due to stress caused by being sensitive these days.
That’s how the black man infiltrated Rosetta.
