After finishing the call with Kim Do-jin, Chris looked at Yoon Myeong-ho, who was as red-hot as red-hot iron, and said with a regretful tone.

“You’ve heard it all, so you know. Try to gather your strength for a month. If you need anything, I’ll help you too.”

The situation had arisen, and now all I had to think about was winning.

But that is only possible for Chris, who is quick to understand and change his thinking.

Yoon Myeong-ho, who found it difficult, naturally objected to this.

“Isn’t this different from the promise?”

I didn’t raise my voice.

But she rebuked him in a gloomy voice filled with suppressed anger.

“Wasn’t it you, brother, who said you would make me a perfect apostle of sloth?”

“That’s right.”

I definitely promised that.

Come join the organization and I will make you a perfect apostle of sloth.

The promised status after the construction of the ideal world is only for later.

“Why should I follow a brother who has betrayed my trust from the beginning?”

Chris bowed his head politely at the cold anger that was like the cold winter wind.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Yoon Myung-ho. I never dreamed that things would turn out like this.”

It was clearly his fault.

I couldn’t have imagined that Kim Do-jin would get involved in this matter, so I made a bold statement.

However, Yoon Myeong-ho seemed to be still angry and clenched his teeth even more.

“That means… , you’re telling me to play along with that arrogant brother’s tricks.”

Because his apology was tantamount to asking me to join this ridiculous fight.

I didn’t like it.

A showdown with that arrogant guy?

The sea I longed for.

He also cannot help but want to repay Kim Do-jin for all the humiliation he suffered.

But the process of accepting it itself was problematic.

The fact that the head of the organization accepted this fight while breaking his promise to himself is proof that he cares about Kim Do-jin more than himself.

“Because both of you are so important to my plan that I can’t leave you out. If possible… , yes. If we have a fight like he suggested and Yoon Myung-ho wins, that would be the best picture for me.”

Chris answers with an embarrassed tone.

You said it like that, but I feel it.

The choice he would make if he pushed harder and told himself to choose between him and him.

‘Fuck.’

It’s humiliating.

Even though I have lived my whole life being supported by someone, I have given up a lot to support someone.

Even though he did that, he was still very sad that he was not the first, and that the person who came before him was the enemy who destroyed his foundation.

I wish I could have broken away from him right now and gone my own way.

“Hoo… , I understand. I will do as you say just this once. But you must keep your promise to support me in whatever I need.”

Chris smiled and nodded.

“Of course.”

Yoon Myeong-ho, who felt disgusted by that sight, turned his back with his fists clenched.

“Let’s go now.”

Yoon Myeong-ho left Shadow’s mansion with steps that contained his anger.

“One month… .”

He vowed.

“Show me. How arrogant it was to give me a month…!”

You will regret it.

Thank you for giving me a long month.

They will trample on you and take you away.

Everything he has.

“If women are so precious to you… , yes, I will take them all away from you.”

After making them all my playthings and toying with them to the fullest, I will cut off their heads and place them on display beside him.

So I will prove it.

The fact that you are the strongest hand.

* * *

A month has passed.

It was a hellish time.

Why was it like hell?

“Why on earth did you give him a month? Then, if he comes prepared like crazy…!”

It’s because of the shadow.

“What, say something! This, this is something you can win, right? Right?”

He came to me every single day without fail and asked me the same question.

So I answered.

“Hey, you little punk. How many times do I have to tell you to understand? If it were you, come and get me tomorrow. Do you think I’d come straight away? ”

The reason I gave him a month was to perfectly lure him.

If you suddenly tell them to come and take you by force for a week, who would attack an opponent they’ve already defeated once?

But when the preparation time becomes one month, the story is different.

That should be enough time to sufficiently increase power through brainwashing.

“That, that’s right. Ha, you can handle the power I’ve accumulated in a month all by yourself!”

possible.

I probably won’t lose unless the sky turns upside down.

But when I see this kid’s behavior, I don’t want to tell him the truth.

“If you don’t believe me, run away now. If you run away like crazy for a month, you can live in hiding for a year or two as if you were dead, right?”

Then the guy hurriedly waves his hands and shakes his head.

“Oh, no! It’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just… .”

You’ll know after a few days.

This is a creature that basically cannot live alone.

Not only are they lazy in their actions, but their thoughts themselves are lazy and lethargic, and they hate making choices.

Up until now, you’ve probably lived leaving all the choices and directions up to Chris.

I just play games or watch internet broadcasts.

“If you’re not going to run away, just shut up.”

“Ugh, yeah.”

A guy who shrinks rapidly.

But this also ends in just one day.

The next day, he would come running at me again and start nagging me, which was so annoying.

But it’s okay now.

“The end… .”

Because a month has finally passed.

“Okay, let’s go!”

“Ugh…, ugh!”

I climb onto the boat, dragging the scruff of the neck of the guy whose mouth I had covered with tape because it was so noisy.

Booong-!

Yeah, it’s a belly.

I don’t know for sure, but the amount of power he would have prepared in a month would be at least in the tens to hundreds.

To fight them head-on, you need a place that is large enough to avoid being detected.

But where would there be such a place in the land of Seoul?

So I explained the situation to Han Ju-hee, and she bought me an uninhabited island.

They told me to install illusion magic on the defensive wall with all kinds of magic and fight there.

It’s a great choice.

If you’re on an island that’s quite far from the mainland, you can fight to your heart’s content without any problems.

Swish!

The boat, sailing through the wind, finally arrives at a small island.

There are some slightly steep hills, but it is mostly flat.

“It’s a great place to fight.”

There is nowhere to hide, and no place to take advantage of geographic advantages.

The perfect place to fight solely with individual skill, without any intervention from others.

I sit on the chair I brought with me in the middle of the island and gaze out at the vast ocean stretching out endlessly, taking a moment to reflect.

“Doesn’t your heart feel like it’s opening up when you look at the wide open sea like this?”

“eup eup.”

“You think it’s better to play one more game instead of going out to see the ocean? Oh, you loser. Live your life.”

“Ugh, ugh, ugh!”

“People live inside monitors? So it’s reality? That’s really amazing.”

“Ugh!”

“Okay, kid. Shut up.”

Phew!

I hit the back of the neck of the guy who was making a lot of noise with his mouth closed and put him to sleep for a while.

And soon the sun begins to slowly set.

The red light of the setting sun, gradually falling toward the sea, dyed even the sea.

Saaak!

A cruise ship that appears larger than the island is approaching us at high speed.

Booo-!

A cruise ship arrives at the island with a loud noise.

Before the ship even stops, people start falling off the ship one after another.

widely!

Hit!

The island gradually begins to fill up with people of all different genders, races, ages, and clothing.

The number of people who got off the ship was approximately one hundred.

There are ten S-class people and ninety A-class people.

“… You’ve really scraped it off.”

I heard there have been a number of simultaneous disappearances in Europe recently. Was it because of that guy?

There are also some familiar faces among the S-class.

These people have some degree of world-class fame.

Their gazes all turn to me, standing a little distance away.

Eyes that have lost their light due to brainwashing and only sparkle with a faint murderous intent.

There are about a hundred pairs of them, so they weigh heavily on my shoulders.

As the magical power flows outwards, the body becomes light again.

“It’s been a while, brother.”

A familiar voice was heard from the boat.

Yun Myeong-ho falls to the ground at a slow pace, as if defying gravity.

A man wrapped in a pure white robe looks around and asks me.

“Where is Shadow?”

He answers, pointing to the low hill rising behind me.

“It’s up there.”

“I see.”

Yoon Myeong-ho nods his head as if he senses the guy’s faint movement.

“Do you see this? This is my hard work that I have been preparing for over the past month, given to me by my brother.”

He continues, pointing to the hundred people lined up behind him.

“It’s not too late. Hand over Shadow to me, and I’ll completely forget all the bad things that happened with you.”

A guy who makes a proposal with arrogance while carrying a hundred people on his back.

As I looked at that sight, I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Phehe.”

Yoon Myung-ho’s face hardens as a sudden burst of laughter breaks out.

“Why are you laughing?”

“Just.”

To the guy’s question, I answered honestly about how I felt at the time.

“Because it’s the same.”

The power of one hundred people, gathered through hard work over the course of a month.

The strength of the guy who pushed me to my limit felt so insignificant to me.
