Chapter 629 – Invincible (2)
Ssaaaaa-
A ship moving calmly but quickly through the water.
The man, Lu Bu, was lost in thought as he watched the foreign land slowly approaching beyond the horizon.
‘It’s been a long time.’
Korea, a small country adjacent to our country.
It is infinitely small and shabby compared to China in terms of land mass and population, but it has potential.
A nation that has survived and grown stronger despite suffering from domestic and foreign crises from the past to the present.
It was a place where I only had not bad memories every time I visited.
Because they loved the Three Kingdoms as much as their own country, and showed an extremely friendly attitude toward themselves as Lü Bu.
But this time there would be no time to receive such favor.
Because today’s events should not be known to anyone.
“We have arrived.”
A ship under a stealth spell arrives at an empty dock.
When I lightly jump from the stopped boat and land on the ground, strangers are standing there.
Men in suits covering their faces with black sunglasses even though it is night.
One of them approaches and bows his head respectfully.
“It is an honor to meet you, Mr. Yeo Bu.”
The largest Yakuza organization that dominates Japan’s underworld.
“I will guide you to where the boss is waiting.”
Yeo-po silently follows the man who looks like an executive.
I can feel the presence of sharp edges everywhere.
Their gaze was directed outwards, not towards themselves.
It appears to be performing the role of a surveillance network set up around the area to prepare for an emergency situation.
After walking through tight security, we arrive at a building near the dock.
The building appears to have been originally used for resting purposes for sailors, as it has a faint smell of the sea.
There is a large table placed there, and a man is sitting at the head table.
A man wearing traditional Japanese clothing and with a huge scar running diagonally across his face.
He stands up and holds out his hand.
“Nice to meet you, Yeo Bu.”
“Nice to meet you too.”
After exchanging brief greetings, we sit down and begin trading.
To drive out all the pigs who are desperate to overthrow their country and take care of their own interests, and to reign anew.
“I heard that you developed a really great drug.”
“Yes.”
To obtain inexhaustible gold power, which is as precious as military power.
“I guarantee that once you try the medicine I made, you will never be able to touch any other medicine.”
He still sells drugs today.
* * *
Preparations are almost over.
A magic circle was drawn to avoid the yakuza’s surveillance network spread out around the docks, and a barrier was installed in a fairly wide area so that it could be activated at any time.
All that’s left is to wait for the time to come.
The time mentioned here refers to the time when the event prepared in case of an emergency starts.
It is a fight in which three S-class hunters are entangled.
No matter how much you block noise and install illusion magic, it will be difficult to guarantee 100% safety.
So, a large event was held to divert the attention of nearby residents.
What kind of event is this?
When you think of summer nights, of course there are fireworks and night markets.
A night market filled with various events and food was opened a little away from the dock, and a fireworks event was prepared.
Of course, all the money spent there came from Han Joo-hee’s pocket.
Even though I didn’t even ask him to do it, he did it first.
Thanks to this, the worry about being noticed by others even during intense battles has been greatly reduced.
With all the preparations completed, J. Coop and I are killing time by renting an entire bar nearby.
“Gulp, gulp…” “Wow!”
The muscle pig was gulping down his drink one after another with a very nervous look on his face.
Is it okay to drink alcohol right before a fight?
It doesn’t matter.
As long as you have time to turn your magic around your body, you can get as drunk as you want.
In fact, that’s better than being too nervous and making mistakes when fighting.
The guy who was drinking to his heart’s content looks at me with wide eyes.
“Hey.”
“Why?”
“What happened to you with that witch?”
The witch he is talking about probably means Han Joo-hee, who goes by the nickname ‘Scarlet Witch’.
I think I felt it when I met her a little while ago.
She has a strange and awkward atmosphere between her and me.
“There wasn’t anything in particular.”
Shaking her head, she ignores the joke.
“Hehe…, To lie.”
The seeds didn’t work, but the guy didn’t ask any more than that.
Despite his appearance, he is very considerate… Probably not, I’m just not interested in other people’s stories.
As I drink a glass of strong liquor, I recall what happened a few days ago.
I was grumpy at her actions, pushing not only my life but the entire world into an abyss with her arbitrary actions that did not take the family doctor into consideration at all.
‘Can she even give up her body to achieve her goal?’
Then she answered me with a very harsh expression.
-“Anything for my purpose.”
Just as she was about to become dizzy with those words, she added another sentence.
-“But I don’t know. There is no one who is so obsessed with carnality that he is good enough to be of help to me. What’s more, they are all people who desire the body of an old woman…, Needless to say.”
It was a kind of warning.
Do not cross this line any further.
It has been like this ever since.
We met several times to discuss the progress of work, but we were all cold and just said what we had to say to each other and left without hesitation.
Well, it didn’t really matter.
It wasn’t much different before then.
Because she always drew the line at an appropriate distance.
He gives me advice.
“You don’t have to be friendly, but don’t blush.”
“I will take care of it.”
He answered nervously and filled the empty glass with strong alcohol.
My mind is complicated.
I was inadvertently relieved to see that she had kept her body and mind strong despite going to any lengths.
Yet, a dirty desire stirs.
I want to tear down the high walls she has built around herself and defile her tightly guarded body and mind.
After completely shaking her off, I whispered in her ear.
I am the husband you think so much about.
The husband who stays by your side is a fake.
What kind of expression will Han Joo-hee make at that time?
My body trembles, imagining the sense of immorality I would feel at that time.
Shake your head vigorously.
“Huh.”
Around the time I was emptying my glass of alcohol one after another, letting out a breath full of thoughts.
“I have one question.”
The guy talks to me.
“Why did you join our organization?”
“… What does it mean?”
I asked in a sharp voice, wondering if he had any doubts, and the guy shrugged his shoulders and answered.
“I’m not suspicious, so don’t misunderstand. I’m just curious. Why would someone with such a high social status and great reputation, unlike us, step into the shadows?”
Was it something like that?
I vaguely explain it.
“I told you last time. “I don’t like having inferior things on my head.”
“If they are inferior… “Are you talking about non-awakened people?”
“Okay.”
The guy who emptied a whole bottle of alcohol laughs faintly and mutters.
“You’re the same type of guy as Chris.”
“… “Same type?”
“To be exact, Chris is worse. “He is disillusioned with humanity itself.”
I can’t quite believe it.
That clear and gentle face harbors disillusionment toward humans.
“Did something happen?”
“There must have been. So, you’re doing something ridiculous like this. But I don’t know. “Because I never told you.”
“I see.”
I suddenly became curious.
“Then what made you join?”
Why did the muscle pig in front of me grab Hexagram’s hand?
He was a much different guy than I thought.
He’s hot-tempered and has an eccentric personality, but that’s just it.
It was a bit lacking to be a frowned upon villain.
Of course, I don’t know how much you can delve into a person’s insides in just a few days.
“I lost my precious family.”
After answering in a grave tone, the guy opened a new bottle of alcohol and emptied it in one go, then roughly swiped the alcohol flowing from the corner of his mouth with his arm and smiled.
“Hehe…, It’s a common occurrence in this era.”
After those words, the guy didn’t open his mouth anymore.
I also didn’t bother to ask further questions or awkwardly try to sympathize.
Even if you understand more, your relationship with him will not change.
On the contrary, it can be said that it has become more solid.
It would be nearly impossible to appease someone who has lost his family and is seeking revenge on the world.
By the time I completely emptied the bottle of alcohol in front of me.
Piyuuung-
Bwaaeng!
A loud sound echoes from the sky.
When I look out the window, colorful fireworks decorate the sky in various shapes.
This is a signal.
It announces the start of the full-fledged fireworks display and at the same time announces that the time has finally come.
“Hehe…, It was good!”
Wajangchang!
Is it because I was overly excited?
A guy who wakes up by swinging his arm and breaking all the bottles of alcohol he has emptied.
At the same time, the guy who used magical power throughout his body and got drunk all at once shouts out with a very flushed face.
“Come on, let’s go!”
There is no such thing as a crazy person.
