episode_0049

Sigh–!

“Arrived. Master.“

“Yes, you had a hard time driving. Natsuki.“

A dock in Incheon with few people.

There is a pitch-black darkness,

This place is the only place where a few weak streetlights shine.

Rattling-!

I opened the trunk and said,

He carried the two people lying inside on his shoulders.

“Uuuu…Uuuu…!“

“Keup…Uuuu…!“

“Let’s get it together. It’s so noisy it’s killing me.“

Just-!

I put it right in their forehead,

After being beaten one by one, the girls began to behave calmly.

So Natsugi and her younger siblings.

And with the skeleton knights.

I headed to the end of the dock.

“Natsuki, place the kids so that people can’t come near.“

“Yes, I understand.“

She quickly moved several girls to the designated location,

Sleeping gas was placed in their hands in case there were any witnesses.

“Okay… then, let’s take a test…“

I tied ropes tightly around the bodies of the chairman and team leader,

Next, steel shackles were placed around the ankles.

They were then hung on a simple crane device,

So that you can immerse yourself in sea water from head to toe,

I began to adjust the mechanical devices little by little.

“This should be enough…what is the water temperature?“

“It’s very cold, Master. Is it because it’s still February?“

“Uuuu…Uuuu…!“

They struggled and tried to resist, but

Both hands and ankles were tied tightly.

It wasn’t a very meaningful action.

Crunch-!

I pulled the crane lever,

Then, suspended in the air, they slowly began to head towards the winter sea.

Head first, very slowly.

with a plop-!

Powgrrr…

Bubbles began to rise little by little above the sea surface,

Let your whole body be soaked in the cold winter sea.

Their rebellious movements began to weaken more and more.

“Good, upload again.“

“Yes.“

Clap—!

Natsuki pulled the lever again.

Their bodies slowly began to rise above sea level.

Seaweed was tangled in the hair,

The chairman and general manager are drenched in seawater and coughing continuously.

And then they started breathing heavily.

“Cough…! Cough…!”

“Ugh…! Oh my…! Puhaaagh…!”

I approached them raised in the air,

Immediately, I violently ripped off the duct tape that was stuck to my mouth.

Sigh–!

“Kwaaagh….!“

“Pfft…!“

“What do you think, I still feel like my head is hot. I let it cool down once.“

“You…you crazy bastard…even…were you a man…?“

“Do you… think you can get away with this…? From the moment the chairman disappeared, the management bureau immediately investigated…“

Leaving behind the girls talking about this and that,

I sat down on a fishing chair.

I opened the cap of Coke and started to quench my thirst.

“Everyone ready to dive!“

“Yes, Master!“

“I can’t hear very well~“

“Yes, Master!“

“Oh~~~~“

“Mi…you crazy bastards…! stop..! Stop!!!“

“Pineapple deep in the sea~“

Bogrrr….

Let’s put them back into the cold sea water,

Bubbly bubbles began to rise again.

Just enough suffocation to not cause death or fainting.

However, after giving a sufficiently painful time gap,

I took them out again.

with a plop-!

“Hehehe…hehe…hehe…“

“What…what do you want…huh…? You’re not doing this because you want something!!! Then say it quickly!!!“

The chairman, overcome by evil, screamed loudly,

An expression full of anger appeared on his wrinkled face.

“Natsuki, leave out the leader and only the president. A little longer than before.“

“Yes, Master.“

“Now…wait a minute…! no!!! No!!!!“

Bubbly…

So let’s put her alone in the seawater and then take her out.

The chairman seemed to understand the situation a little bit and started to become a little more cooperative.

“How are you feeling?“

“Whoa…Whoa…Ah…Okay. Just tell me what…what do you want…money…? person…? No matter what you want… I’ll give you everything… “

“Oh, I can finally understand.“

I got up from the chair and walked over to them.

Then, he took out a black box from subspace.

“These rings. Where did you get it? It wouldn’t be something made by an average person.“

“kk…“

As soon as I took out the box containing the ring,

Her expression scrunched up, but then she began to speak as kindly as possible.

“Well…that…is something I made at the request of bribed agents of the Management Bureau. I don’t know how it was made, but… the organization said they needed a ring like that. I paid a lot of money to get it.“

“Yeah…? One of these is empty. What about that, are you wearing it now?“

I looked at her knuckles.

Unfortunately, it didn’t look like the venue was being installed.

“One…they asked me to send one as a sample…I gave it to them right away. Joe…it was requested by the organization. okay. I don’t know if you know…but there is a religious group that is controlling this country behind the scenes…“

“Yes, yes. Because I know that better than anyone else. Let’s skip over that part.“

Let me nod my head as if I know something about the organization.

In an instant, her face turned pale and her whole body trembled.

“ㅅ…Could it be that it came from your organization…? My…I told you…! Those rings will be delivered within this week…! I clearly said that negotiations with the management bureau’s data team have not yet been completed…!“

“Hmm? Why are you negotiating with the management bureau? Can’t I just wear this?“

“Mom…Idiot…Oh no, I guess you don’t know…I guess it doesn’t matter if it’s just to look like an [S]-class ranker, but later on, you’ll have to get a job, whether it’s a hunter or something… .! To do that, the information must be registered with the management bureau…!“

“Ah…was that the story? I wondered if there was some kind of curse on me.“

I was lost in thought while fiddling with the ring.

If you equip this right now and focus on training in the basement,

I would be able to awaken to level 4 right away.

However, from level 4 awakened people, they fall within the full management scope of the management bureau.

What if a level 4 awakened person whose information is not even registered in the database is wandering around the center of Seoul?

‘Heroes will arrive immediately and be subdued… not yet… because the system is still working well.’

Just like Jia Han appeared before coming here.

And not only Jia Han, but also other heroes of a threatening level.

Just by wearing this one ring,

It was a situation where he could become a wanted criminal for all heroes.

“Hmm… But, the people at the management bureau really do that? All of that will be recorded. You know that if you get caught, you’re all screwed, right?“

“So…we are recruiting other higher level personnel…as the organization said it would help. As long as you cajole the guy in the highest position…everything will be okay.“

‘That bastard has already taken the director’s position… should we get rid of the other agents in advance…’

If the water at the top rots,

Just as the water flowing beneath it is also rotting away.

The newly appointed Director of the Management Bureau is not only an official of the denomination;

From the moment each of the highest-ranking agents who followed him joined the organization,

The institution quickly fell into abyss.

A structure where you have no choice but to follow an order from a superior.

Even when heroes rebel against orders, the Bureau tightens their leash.

‘Then…it would be better to take care of it in advance…’

I closed my eyes and recalled the memory.

A list of those who have been in contact with the organization among the management bureau’s agents.

Their home address, name, facial appearance, and even their current job duties.

It seemed like the next target should be these people.

“Okay…then the mystery about the ring has been solved. It’s a pity, if the management bureau doesn’t catch up, it will be used right away.“

“You…if you use that…the organization and management will not leave you alone…this…this is a warning…“

“I’m not interested in that. So, who did you say will be dispatched from the organization during the apocalypse that will occur in a few days? Who was the investigator assigned to investigate the matter in advance?“

“That…that…“

She couldn’t answer easily and turned her head away.

I sighed and gave Natsuki a thumbs up.

“Ha…Now, ready to dive again!”

“Yes, Master!“

“Ah…no…! Wait a minute!!!“

Bogrrr…

with a plop-!

“Pugh…!“

She took a deep breath,

I roughly leaned back in my chair and drank the remaining cola.

Very sweet and refreshing taste.

Instead of the terrible cigarettes I smoked with Kkang Soju, who was always soaked in bitter pain while looking at the winter sea.

I succeeded in revenge,

I just lazily soaked them and drank the sweet soda.

“Have you ever heard the saying, “Water knows the answer…”?“

“Kuhuh…Kellok Kellogg…you…you crazy guy…you think you’re some kind of agent from the National Intelligence Service…? You are criminals…! He’s a crazy criminal!!!“

“And what about you? I don’t know how you can be so proud. They hire mercenaries to beat up people who don’t have money, drive them out, then build buildings on top of them and sell them. Don’t you think something like that would prick your conscience?“

“Whatever that is. You suffer because you are weak. Since you’re weak, shouldn’t you have prepared for that?“

“Oh, then about the people your daughter attacked after taking drugs. Did you suffer because you were weak? ah. I must have hit him because he was ‘weak’.“

I giggled and looked back at Natsuki,

She gave me a cold expression, as if she didn’t find it funny at all.

“Wow, that’s really heartless.“

“Now…wait, why is the story about my daughter coming out…? No way…“

“Ah, I got caught. Well, I was going to bring it up later. I can’t help it.“

Just-!

I snap my fingers again.

To the position of the Skeleton Knight who was standing quietly behind me.

A young woman appeared with her entire body tied up.

He was rolling his eyes in a confused state,

A woman who cannot even move her body properly.

Even when I went to kidnap her, she was completely addicted to drugs.

While attacking a cannabis field alone and burning it all down,

It was one of the lucky harvests.

She must have been serving her sentence in prison by now.

It would have been recorded that he was receiving treatment at home while receiving treatment.

I saw him smoking a cigarette in a marijuana field and spitting at mercenaries.

Without realizing it, my hand moved first and I ended up kidnapping her.

“It’s so fun. Some of the people that bitch attacked at that time were paralyzed from the waist down and ended up in wheelchairs… They were declared brain dead and were in a vegetative state… After leaving such terrible wounds. How did that family become lenient towards your daughter overnight?“

“No…! no!!! My daughter… Don’t touch my daughter!!!“

“The answer is simple. Just like always. This time, the mercenaries must have gone to the victims’ homes and started abusing them… Even after doing that, the sight of them leisurely smoking a cigarette in your hemp field… was truly a sight.“

“You…you…!!! You…you take care of my hemp field…!“

“Yes, that’s right. It burned brightly. Very artistically.”

I dragged the president’s daughter and made her stand near the beach.

Next, he took out an ivory colored staff from his pocket.

From the rooftop, the chairman swung at me with murderous intent,

That magic staff.

“I’m sorry that things ended up like this. But what can I do, I didn’t originally intend to do this either. Rather than just letting you go alive, I think I’ll feel more at ease this way.“

“No!!! no!!! please!! You told me everything you wanted!!! Stop!!!“

“Ah, yes. Pray like that. With as much sincerity as possible. If I pray earnestly, won’t my heart change someday?“

I grabbed the staff and raised it towards the chairman’s daughter.

She was completely drugged and could barely utter a word.

“Mom…Mom…?“

“Please…! please…! My daughter has nothing to do with this!!! The one you want is me… stop… let that child live!!!“

“Yes, that’s the attitude.“

I swung the staff,

Kwasik—!

Sharp spears suddenly protruded from the concrete floor.

Her heart, lungs, and even liver.

It began to penetrate all important internal organs without mercy.

“Cough…cough…cough…”

“No!!!!!!!!“

with a plop-

She then fell back helplessly,

Only a small trace of red blood can be seen at the spot where it fell.

It began to fall slowly, into the very depths of the ocean.

“Ugh…Ugh…You damn bastard…I will kill you…I will definitely kill you!!!!“

“You didn’t mind killing me that day…but there was no need to soak Catherine like that…right?“

“Kae…Seorin…? Who is that…why on earth are you doing this to me!!! There must be a reason…Ugh…Ugh…“

She was so overcome with evil that her face was completely covered with tears.

I just gave Natsuki a thumbs up without saying anything.

“No, you wouldn’t know even if I told you anyway. How much indelible hurt you caused me that day.“

“No!!! no!!! Hey damn bitch…! Try something!!!“

“Chairman…I think we are already X…“

“I don’t want to die like this!!! help me!!! Please!!!“

I reached out for a moment and stopped the machine,

Then he stretched out his hand towards the sea water.

Shhh—!

Kang—!

A window of cooling so cold it gives you goosebumps.

The sea water began to freeze even colder,

There was only enough space left for two people to fit in.

I smiled and told them both.

“If you’ve dunked your competitor a few times, you should have thought about dipping in reverse.“

“Save me…please…! I won’t do that again…I’ll close down all my businesses…and…yeah, I’ll go abroad. Because I will never show your face again…!“

Kwasik—!

I grabbed her by the collar,

He said it very firmly.

“Don’t say it like it’s unfair. You killed my colleague mercilessly. Just like now, very similar.“

“Kahah….Huh…!“

“Natsuki, soak it. I’ll definitely finish it this time.“

“Yes, Master.“

“No!!! no!!! please!!! Hey bitch!!!!“

“Ha… If I had known it would end up like this… I would have quit being a mercenary a long time ago… “

with a plop—!

They got along well and entered the sea in the middle of winter.

I sat down on the chair and quenched my thirst one last time.

I gazed endlessly at the sea on a winter day.

It’s infinitely cold.

It is infinitely deeper,

Waves without rest.

Looking at that winter sea.

I said nothing for a moment.

Until those two damn pieces of trash are all filled with sea water.

Just blankly watching the sea,

I left my ears to the sound of the crashing waves.

I held my breath and shed small tears.

“Master.“

“…Yes.“

Natsuki handed me a handkerchief,

I carefully wiped away the tears that flowed.

She sat down next to me,

He slowly leaned his head on my shoulder.

“I don’t know what happened to Master, but…I’m by your side. I won’t say things like murder is bad…“

“…sniff. Thank you, Natsuki.“

“Congratulations on achieving your revenge. With this, I have barely repaid the favor I received during the nightclub.“

“Yes, we don’t owe each other anything with this.“

Natsuki looked at the sea with sparkling purple eyes.

Did it look like I was looking for something?

She also watched the sea on a winter day intently.

There was nothing there.

Instead, she took something out of her pocket.

Two canned Let’s Be coffees warmed by Natsuki’s body temperature.

After putting it on my cheek, I smiled.

“Now, eat this. We’ll take care of the cleanup. Master, please drink this and take a break.“

“Yes…sniff…thank you, Natsuki.“

“You are my teacher. What should I do if I show myself weak like this? Now, take your time. You should show your cool self as usual.“

I smiled brightly and wiped away the falling tears,

I opened a can of coffee and took a sip.

The coffee was very sweet and warm.

It was a very beautiful taste, like the revenge I had achieved.
