Chapter 108 – {The Thieves’ Conspiracy} 3
{The Thieves’ Conspiracy}
I took a step off the cliff and soared into the air.
I felt a strong wind as I was flying in the air holding Yeeunchae and it was high enough to be on top of a rocky mountain.
Ye Eun-chae’s long hair fluttered violently in the wind, and I thought it was very nice to see it.
‘Eye treats are good.’
Even in a high place, Ye Eun-chae, who has excellent talent and skills among those who have awakened in magical power, is not afraid of her, and does not even close her eyes.
With her magical powers, she was able to protect only the area around her own eyes, protecting her vision even in the wind pressure, and she was clearly looking down at her.
“It’s that way.”
Lee Gyu-cheok, who was hiding in hiding, was startled to the point of being stunned by the explosion I showed him, but he must have planned to get out of here by hiding so as not to be seen by me.
Hiding next to a small rocky hill in the plain below the rocky mountain, he watched me nervously as I landed on the ground.
However, it didn’t seem like he could have predicted that I would have figured out his stealth.
[Could that be sleeping? Is it Seomuncheon? I thought you were using a sword as your main weapon, but what was that attack just now?]
Lee Gyu-cheok’s heart was filled with confusion and fear.
The fear that made them turn away from the possibility also played a big role in not being able to predict that they had grasped the stealth.
If he was caught stealing, he would have no way of escaping himself.
“Eunchae, just listen quietly for a moment.”
And I gently lowered Yeeunchae to the ground, and Yeeunchae, who was taken down from my arms, couldn’t hide her slight shyness.
However, her priority was to find the villain who tried to flood the dungeon, so she quickly drew her sword and nodded.
As soon as my words fell, I was ready to attack the villain.
The location was what I thought would tell.
‘I don’t think that’s necessary.’
Thinking so, I lightly snapped my fingers.
“Keah!”
Lee Gyu-cheok, who had been pierced by my lightly bouncing magic bullets, fell down screaming.
With a snap of his finger, I fired a total of four magical bullets at him, and those magical bullets accurately penetrated his limbs and caused him to fall to the floor.
“Wh-what…”
“I knew what was hiding a long time ago.”
I looked down coldly at the fallen man.
“Chun, is that him?”
Ye Eun-chae said that before she could step forward, the villain fell with my hand, and she wasn’t surprised that he came out of hiding.
What she wanted to confirm was whether the author was the one who tried to make this dungeon run wild.
“Yeah, that’s right. This guy made it up.”
“Okay.”
Ye Eun-chae aimed her sword at him with eyes full of cold anger.
She was the one who didn’t like to take offense at a downed opponent, but she was different if that opponent was a villain.
It is even more wrong if it is a villain that will cause a catastrophe to the extent of killing or harming dozens or even hundreds of people.
‘Lee Kyu-cheok of the thieves.’
Although he was easily overpowered by me, it was because my strength was abnormally strong, and in fact he was not a weak villain.
As Ye Eun-chae of now, if she could scratch even a scratch in a head-to-head match, she was a villain with a high level of skill.
She was also a person who hid the fact that she was a villain and lived as a normal person.
“What, what the hell happened?”
The collapsed Lee Gyu-cheok was panicking.
He would already know who I am.
However, you won’t believe that I fell down because I was only a first-year student at the National Hero Academy.
He was probably thinking that I hadn’t used some incredibly dangerous artifact.
“I don’t know.”
“Kuuk!”
I hit Lee Gyu-cheok’s head with magic and knocked him out.
He controlled himself not to die, but he passed out after being hit in the head, so he would not wake up for a while.
“Did you faint?”
“Okay.”
Ye Eun-chae pointed her sword at Lee Gyu-cheok, asked various questions, and even thought of torturing Lee Kyu-cheok by inserting her sword into her if he did not answer properly, but she drew the sword while seeing Lee Gyu-cheok fainting.
Her face was still full of rage, but she was aware of more important things than letting herself be angered and personally punishing Lee Gyu-cheok.
“I think we should take this person to the family and find out who is behind it.
“It’s a family. Is there a better way?”
“A better way? Is it possible that Yoochun Group will step in?”
Yes, I nodded my head to Eun-chae’s question.
“Yes. Eunchae, as you know, I am the real owner of Yoochun Group.
* * *
Seyton (Satan), the master of the Yucheon Guild belonging to the Yucheon Group, appeared in Ui-dong Valley with his guild members.
“I’m here to follow the Master’s command!”
“Yes. Good work. Seyton, take this guy and torture him to find out all the important information including who is behind him. Can you do that?”
“Of course! I’ll make sure he vomits out all the secrets he least wants to know, including his confession!”
“Yeah. Don’t kill me just because you’re angry.”
“Keuheum! Of course.”
The guild members who came to escort Lee Kyu-cheok following Satan bowed their heads toward me, but they couldn’t hide their surprise that the mad king Seyton (Satan) was so low-key to me.
As the successor of the Yuchun Group, I occasionally wore a mask and acted, but few people knew that it was me because I was wearing a different mask while changing my voice when interviewing next to Satan.
“The Mad King Seyton…”
Yeeun-chae already knew it with her head, but she was curious to see a world-famous strong man appearing as my subordinate.
However, Ye Eun-chae, who would become one of Satan’s masterminds, was a person of a far higher rank than himself, so he would be quite distressed if she treated her with honorific terms.
Perhaps, “How dare you listen to my mother-in-law! How dare I!” After venting her rage against herself, she secretly reinforced her floor, then smashed her head into the reinforced floor, giving her a 99% chance of self-injury.
“Good job then.”
“Yes, young master! Let’s go!”
“Yes, guild leader.”
After Satan took Lee Gyu-cheok and left, I pointed to the place where the dungeon was and said.
“That dungeon was completely eliminated by clearing the dungeon, so it won’t be dangerous anymore.”
“It will be. Thousand.”
Ye Eun-chae was lost in thought as she watched the disappearing dungeon.
* * *
“What he’s doing in the dungeon… I wouldn’t have been able to solve it if I went in alone. It was all thanks to Heaven’s help. Thank you so much… Heaven.”
Ye Eun-chae felt that she had done very little.
At best, she was just watching, except for a little bit of dealing with the killer ant at the entrance.
How did he behave when he got inside?
She knew the answer to that worry.
‘I would have contacted the family first.’
He would have informed the Ye family of the situation and asked for help.
But it would take some time for them to arrive, and in the meantime, what if the villain escaped or did something else?
Or what if the villain hid himself while hunting monsters and made a surprise attack?
‘All of this was easily handled thanks to the help of Cheon.’
Ye Eun-chae realized again that she always only received help from Seo Wen-cheon.
It was he who made her strong.
She will never forget her feelings of gratitude to him for accepting her promise to be her friend and for always allowing her to experience her grace that she will never forget in her lifetime.
She said, “It’s done because it worked out well. I told you that the Yuchun Group would be able to dig up information from the villain earlier.”
It was obvious what would have happened if things had happened as the villain intended.
Not only people who were doing business near Ui-dong Valley, but also Ui-dong would have suffered casualties.
Although it is a world where people are easily killed by monsters, such an empty death was not allowed.
‘My strength is still insufficient.’
Ye Eun-chae felt that she was really lacking in order to make more people laugh happily than herself.
She said that she had beaten Seo Mun-hyeon, but it was just a step beyond that.
“Cheon, I want to become stronger. I want to become stronger so that more people will not be unhappy.”
Ye Eun-chae, who revealed her true feelings to a friend whom she could trust more than anyone else and perhaps loved more than her family, suddenly felt suspicious even after she said it herself.
Love?
“Yes, I will do my best to help you become that way. Eunchae, I will always be by your side to help you, so keep trusting me.”
“Even if you don’t say so, I always believe you.”
It was Eunchae who answered with a smile like that, but the moment she gave that answer, she realized the answer to the question she was feeling.
During that time, the answers to the many questions she had been harboring in her mind finally came to mind.
* * *
“Quaaaaagh! Stop! Stop! I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you!”
Inside the secret building of Yoochun Group, Lee Kyu-cheok was eagerly saying that he would reveal everything he knew to unimaginable torture.
“No! Don’t tell me! I need to torture you some more to unleash my wrath!”
However, in the name of digging up information, Satan easily ignored Lee Kyu-cheok’s wishes after finding a target of torture to vent his anger on.
If he spoke, he would no longer be able to torture him, and that was to lose his anger toy.
In the space created by Seomuncheon, where the time outside and inside are different, he was enjoying taking out his anger on Lee Kyu-cheok to his heart’s content, repeating torture and recovery for 10 hours inside, even though only 10 minutes had passed outside.
‘This, you terrible devil!’
Lee Gyu-cheok harbored a grudge, thinking that he was more vicious than the thieves, a group of villains to which they belonged.
He did not think at all about the pain of those who were harmed by him, he only thought of the damage he suffered and harbored a grudge.
It was truly a villain-like mindset.
