Chapter 229 – Neighborhood Book
To be honest, Roxy had almost forgotten the meteor. Time is urgent, so where can I afford to think of him? Even if you devise a way to live right now, it won’t be enough.
So, as much as I did not expect, the impression he made when he appeared was great.
“Customer?”
“Uh. According to my subordinates here, it seems to be a struggle between some organizations, but I won’t mind as long as I’m done with my own business, so stay out of the way for a while.”
Excitement is broken
‘Huh? Won’t you pay attention? What are you talking about?’
Did I hear it wrong?
Meteor strides toward Roxy, who was absent-minded, then took something out of her bosom and threw it at Roxy.
Receiving the thrown object, Roxy realized it was a pouch with coins in it. When I opened it slightly, I found a mixture of silver coins and copper coins.
“I was late because it took time to exchange money. Give me the information quickly.”
Information?
Certainly, I told him to pay for Orca’s information. He brought the money, so he’ll have to give you the information.
‘But you’re asking that in this situation?’
Are you crazy?
“Customer? Don’t you care information? Haha…”
The absurdity was the same for Sigurd. He laughed for a moment, then suddenly swung his curved sword.
“Who is this crazy bastard ignoring!”
“Oh, fuck.”
Yuseong grabbed the arm of Sigurd who was swinging the curved sword. The curved sword could not reach Yooseong. Yuseong stabbed the dagger into Sigurd’s arm. As soon as I kicked Sigurd in the chest, he fell backwards and rolled to where my men were.
“Turn off … This dog …”
Sigurd let out a painful moan. His right arm was missing the part it should be.
“I said I wouldn’t mind. Why are you arguing and fucking?”
Yuseong took Sigurd’s right arm and threw it. Sigurd tried to stop the bleeding as much as possible, but it was harder than he thought to stop the blood flowing from his torn arm.
His blood started to wet the floor.
“Boss! Are you okay?!”
“Do you look good this way?! What are you doing, kill that bastard!”
“The boss was killed, how could we…”
The fleshy subordinate let out a frightened voice. Sigurd yelled at the subordinate.
“Sick! I was careless and made a mistake! Don’t you move fast? Shall I kill you first?”
“Oh no!”
When Sigurd lashed out, his men, reluctantly, moved. A muscular giant and a fleshy giant rushed towards the meteor.
“Ha, fuck. Why are there so many bastards who can’t understand what I’m saying here?”
Yooseong pulled his left foot back and twisted his body. He dodged the mace that fell vertically like that, and then he plunged the dagger into the muscular giant’s neck.
“That, Greek!”
The fleshy behemoth stopped when he saw his comrades being beaten. At that moment of hesitation, Yoosung’s wrist moved quickly.
Whirly Rick. Pak.
A dagger stuck between the flesh giant’s forehead.
The giant raised his eyes, trembled once, and fell down.
“What, what! What are you guys doing!”
Even though they are weaker than Sigurd, they are the second and third strongest in his organization.
However, as a guest, he was treated in vain by a sudden appearance. He lost his life in just a few seconds without being able to fight like a fight.
It was an unacceptable reality for Sigurd, who had been toying with the thieves’ guild until just a moment ago.
Sigurd wasn’t the only one surprised.
Harold opened his eyes wide as he watched the meteor walking towards Sigurd.
‘That man… Was he really that strong?’
No. Not like that.
Harold was defeated by Yuseong. That’s why I don’t know what Yooseong’s real skill was at the time.
However, what can be affirmed is that at that time Yoosung was not strong enough to overwhelm those three.
‘I wonder if he’s gotten that strong in just a few months…’
I already knew that the world was unfair.
However, when faced with the same situation as now, I couldn’t help but resent it even if I knew it.
This unfair, unfair world.
As much as that, Harold sensed a gap in talent between himself and Yoosung.
“What the fuck… At the end…!”
With Sigurd grabbing his severed arm, he turned around and tried to escape. The dagger thrown by Meteor severed Sigurd’s leg tendons.
Coudantang.
Siegard could not overcome his running power and fell violently.
“Kwuuuuu!”
Meteor pressed his neck with his foot. If you give him strength like this, Sigerd will break his neck and lose his life. And he intended to do so.
“You can’t kill me!”
If only Roxy hadn’t shouted.
Yoosung only turned his head and looked at Roxy. Roxy was taken aback by the lifelike eyes.
‘Ah, it’s a surprise.’
Inwardly, of course.
He acted outwardly to appear unconcerned.
“Why are you deciding that?”
“Although he is a low-end, he is one of the leaders of the organization that makes up the Dark Society. It’s better to save him and find out information about the Dark Society.”
“It will benefit you.”
“I will share the information with you, of course.”
“…”
Yooseong was silent for a moment. Soon, he began to give strength to his feet little by little.
“Kuhhh!… Kwgh… Kek…”
Sigurd’s moans of pain grew quieter. He doesn’t look like he’ll last long. Roxy looked at Sigurd for a moment before throwing back the pouch Yuseong had given him.
“…The information you wanted. I’ll let you know for free.”
Only then did Yuseong take his foot off Sigurd’s neck. A kick to Sigurd’s chin, who was gasping for breath, knocked him out.
“Survive and extract information. I’ll finish cleaning up the rest of you and come back.”
Yuseong turned his back and walked down the hallway on the other side of Roxy. After confirming that he was going down, Roxy gave orders to Michelle and Harold.
“Cut that guy’s limb tendons, then stop the bleeding at the wound. Whether you use potions or burn, as long as you’re alive, I won’t care. Can you do it?”
“Yes, Roxy. Please leave it to me.”
Said Harold, struggling to get himself up.
“Okay. Good job then.”
Roxy went into the office and shut the door.
She leaned her back against the door and slumped to the floor.
Her legs tremble
It has been a limit ever since.
If I had stayed a little longer, I would have collapsed helplessly in front of everyone.
“Ahhhhh … Why are you getting bloody in a few days …”
Honestly, it was more scary to mix a few words with meteor than to face that Sigurd or something.
“I’ll be back soon to get information…”
Will it be okay..?
It’s not like killing people just because they’ve got what they need, right?
‘Should I ask a subordinate instead of saying it myself?’
No.
I don’t even know if there are any subordinates who survived, and even if that’s the case, we all die anyway if he decides to. And even if it wasn’t him, he’d be killed by the Dark Society later.
‘What should I do… What should I do…!’
How to catch him without getting killed by meteor.
Turning her head tight, she immediately had an idea of her own.
* * *
Roxy’s office.
I leaned back on the chair prepared there. Now it’s time to get some information about where the Orca is.
“…Do I really need to put these here?”
Roxy looked at the service table and spoke dissatisfiedly. On the table, there were about 10 heads of guys called Baekgoldan that I picked myself.
“Wherever you put your loot, it’s up to me. If it twists, why don’t you guys kill it yourself?”
The reason why I bothered to bring the heads and put them on the table was to warn them.
A warning that if you play crap, your head will be added to it.
“…Okay. Wherever you put your loot is up to you. Even if it is my office.”
“Can we stop being sarcastic and get to the point?”
“It’s good to get straight to the point without going round and round. But before that, you…”
Pak.
The dagger grazed right next to Roxy’s cheek and lodged in her work desk.
“I have something to say.”
Even though she was about to die, Roxy said it didn’t matter. She is a great woman anyway. Normally, she would have admired it like that.
I kicked the table
The table was overturned, and the neatly arranged heads flew here and there, spattering blood.
“I’m sorry, but I’m not in the mood to go along with your pun. Stop talking nonsense and tell me where Orca is.”
It’s been too long since I met Orca.
It was because it took longer than expected to exchange the treasure found in the elven ruins. It seemed that my worries were becoming too much and it would affect my daily life.
However, the thieves guild, which had to give information, was in the middle of an organization play that was not the same, and since they had come to take care of it, the bad mood had crawled into the abyss.
If Roxy didn’t have the information, she would have taken it right away.
“…More like a suggestion than a word to say.”
But Roxy continued her words as if nothing had happened.
I sighed.
Yes, she was such a woman.
“Good. Say it. Instead, if it’s not the same story, you will die in my hands.”
“Even though I have information about Orca?”
“There are plenty of ways to spit out information.”
“This. My men’s lives depend on me. Is this burden too heavy?”
Roxy shrugged his shoulders and started talking about the offer.
“As you know, the Thieves Guild suffered too much damage due to the clash with the White Skull. Honestly, it’s on the verge of destruction. It’s like I can barely breathe because only my head remains. In this state, there is no way to stop other organizations from attacking.”
“So? Do you want me to look back like before? Didn’t you say that my value had declined and that I didn’t need you anymore?”
“It was my mistake. Admit it. And when did I say I didn’t need it? They just changed the terms of the contract. Even now. Let’s change the terms of the contract.”
“How.”
“Protect and invest in the thieves guild until it rises again. Let’s get a little tighter. Of course, the treatment you receive will be much better than before.”
“Please invest… What do I believe in you? What of you who stiffen your neck when you have an advantage and lower your head when you are at a disadvantage? Is there any guarantee that I won’t be hit in the back after investing in you?”
“Well, I thought you would say that. It’s no wonder you don’t trust us because you’ve seen something. Are you okay. I know that, and I’ve thought of ways for you to trust us.”
“Okay? Then what is it?”
I crossed my arms and nodded my head as if to say something.
Roxy said with a grin.
“We can get married. It becomes a community of destiny.”
“?”
Not understanding Roxy’s words for the moment, I chewed over what she said in her mind.
After thinking about it three times, I understood.
I drew the dagger without hesitation.
