Chapter 2505 – 2505. The Devil’S Game
I was drinking water when the advice ability suddenly activated.
‘Wasn’t the warning supposed to activate only when my life was in danger?’
It seems to have changed after I fully enhanced the advice ability this time. Instead of increasing the number of uses, the performance has increased.
Even so, it was still unfriendly. But it’s okay. I still have two more pieces of advice I can get.
‘Who is this someone?’
‘That’s a huge improvement. Before, it would have just given me three names of Kang Woo-jeol without even mentioning his affiliation.’
I didn’t ask why he was targeting me.
‘He looks like a mob boss at first glance.’
A mob boss suddenly targeting me? It was definitely Peng Cheon-soo’s doing. Peng Cheon-soo’s influence is enormous in the night of South Korea.
I picked up my smartphone and contacted Yu Jin-myeong.
“Jin-myeong, do you know a guy named Kang Woo-jeol?”
-He’s one of Peng Cheon-soo’s subordinates, a mob boss. His power is weaker than Ji Byeong-soo, but he’s known for being very reckless, so in terms of danger, he’s more dangerous than Ji Byeong-soo. Why are you asking about Kang Woo-jeol?
“The advice said he’s targeting me. Did Peng Cheon-soo find out my identity?”
-…I don’t think he’s found out. If Peng Cheon-soo had found out our identities, he wouldn’t have just moved Kang Woo-jeol. It must be because you’re a participant, Yu-jin. He must be getting impatient since he lost his piggy bank. It seems he’s trying to secure as many devil participants in Korea as possible.
“Did you know how Peng Cheon-soo would move?”
-No. I was just guessing. Actually, I expected Peng Cheon-soo to stay holed up in his base and become passive… Seeing him act so recklessly, he must be very angry.
“He deserves to be pissed since all his secret assets were stolen.”
-Yu-jin, I want you to go into hiding. There’s no point in fighting Peng Cheon-soo right now. Even if you fought Ji Byeong-soo, you can’t deny that Peng Cheon-soo is the ruler of the night in South Korea. Moreover, he successfully completed the purge… It’s dangerous to provoke Peng Cheon-soo right now.
“The advice warned me. It wouldn’t have warned me just because they’re targeting me. They know where I am, right?”
-Yes. I can’t be sure, but… that’s probably right.
It wouldn’t be that someone betrayed me.
I’ve been going around with Shin Do-hyeon. I didn’t even bother to hide my identity. They must have found my traces in that process.
“I’m not going to run away. If I run away, their target might shift to Do-hyeon.”
Even if I told Shin Do-hyeon to run away with me, she wouldn’t listen. Shin Do-hyeon can’t abandon the factory.
“I need to move to the studio apartment I secured.”
So that Shin Do-hyeon doesn’t get caught up in this.
-Yu-jin, Ji Byeong-soo has been contacting me constantly since yesterday. It seems we need to use Ji Byeong-soo.
“That bastard fought Peng Cheon-soo and lost, but he’s still alive. But is Ji Byeong-soo useful?”
-Ji Byeong-soo has lived as Peng Cheon-soo’s sword. He knows a lot of information about Peng Cheon-soo. Your advice ability is great at gathering information, but it has a limit on the number of uses.
“What are you going to do with Peng Cheon-soo’s information?”
-We’ll use Ji Byeong-soo to stir up Peng Cheon-soo’s organization in the name of Seonghae. Peng Cheon-soo doesn’t know our identities well, so… he won’t be able to act recklessly. Peng Cheon-soo’s attention will also be focused on Ji Byeong-soo rather than us. Of course, your power is essential for this plan. And… it will be dangerous.
“It doesn’t matter. Let’s go with that plan.”
I hung up the phone.
My mind turns cold. The murderous intent towards Peng Cheon-soo was sharpened.
I’ve been trying to kill Peng Cheon-soo before, but now it was a little different. If I don’t kill Peng Cheon-soo, Shin Do-hyeon will be in danger. Now I had to kill him no matter what.
I hurriedly started moving. I had already brought other furniture and appliances to the studio apartment, so I just needed to take a few things.
The studio apartment was a house. It wasn’t purchased, but rented. The house was small. It was bigger than a studio, but still.
I didn’t plan to live in this house forever. When the Grand Game is over, I plan to get a nice house and live with Shin Do-hyeon. I didn’t ask for Shin Do-hyeon’s opinion, but… we’re already half-living together, so I think she’ll agree.
I was blankly watching a webtoon in the studio apartment when.
Ding-dong.
‘Who is it? I didn’t order delivery.’
It was 10 PM. It was late.
‘Is it Kang Woo-jeol? Or someone like him?’
Fortunately, there was an intercom. Shin Do-hyeon was on the intercom screen. I opened the door for now.
Shin Do-hyeon, who came into the house, crossed her arms and glared at me.
“You ran away like that, and you didn’t last long, did you?”
“I didn’t run away. I just forgot to tell you. I was going to tell you tomorrow.”
“I heard the story from Yu Jin-myeong. I’m going to stay here for a while.”
Yu Jin-myeong. That blabbermouth. I couldn’t blame him. Come to think of it, I didn’t tell him to keep it a secret. And Shin Do-hyeon is a comrade, isn’t she?
“What about work?”
“I took a leave.”
“It’s going to be dangerous.”
“Who?”
She pulled out a gun from thin air. I flinched. Super concentration activated, and I reflexively dodged the gun and almost pounced on Shin Do-hyeon.
Of course, that didn’t mean I was safe. Even for me, if someone shot a gun right in front of my face while I was off guard, there’s no way to avoid it.
‘Her storage ability is a cheat.’
I gave up on persuading Shin Do-hyeon. I know she’s very stubborn.
It might be better this way. It’ll be easier to protect her since she’s right in front of me.
Shin Do-hyeon sat on the bed. It was a queen-sized bed that we had chosen together. She, who was wearing a suit, slowly began to undress.
“I came straight from work, so I didn’t even get to shower. I’m going to take a shower.”
“Why are you taking off your clothes on the bed?”
“Because I want to.”
Shin Do-hyeon leisurely took off her clothes. She used to take them off carelessly… but now it was very sensual. Especially when she took off her stockings, she blatantly seduced me while looking at me.
My dick got hard. This was my defeat. I approached her, who was now taking off her underwear.
“You said you were going to shower.”
“…Let’s shower together.”
“Whatever.”
We went into the bathroom together. We did more than just shower. We also did it on the bed after the shower. We had strong sexual desires.
The next morning.
Ding-dong.
The doorbell rang.
I, who was sleeping with Shin Do-hyeon’s body covering me instead of a blanket, opened my eyes. Shin Do-hyeon also raised her upper body and rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand. I briefly looked at the nipples on her drooping breasts. I forced myself to look at the intercom.
Two burly men were ringing the doorbell.
“Seong Yu-jin. We know you’re in there. Open the door, you bastard.”
Having to see these kinds of bastards from the morning was starting to ruin my mood.
Shin Do-hyeon was startled and immediately started putting on her clothes.
I also roughly put on the underwear and pants that were lying around.
“What are you here for?”
“We’re here to collect a debt, you bastard. Open the door if you don’t want to die, huh?”
“The ‘huh’ is annoying.”
My annoyance surged.
Click.
Shin Do-hyeon, who was dressed, pulled the slide of her pistol. There was a silencer on the muzzle.
She, who had finished preparing for battle, asked me.
“What are you going to do?”
“I’ll kill them in the yard. I’ll do it alone. Cover me from behind just in case.”
There was no option to subdue them and let them live. If I show mercy and let them live? I’ll be looked down on.
I opened the front door. The men stepped into the small yard. Even though the house wasn’t great, the fence was quite high, so it wouldn’t be a problem even if I killed them.
I went out of the front door with a knife in my hand.
“This crazy bastard! Do you think we’ll be scared just because you have a knife? Huh?!”
“Do you think I haven’t dealt with guys like you before?”
The two gangsters took out their weapons from behind their backs. A sashimi knife and a hammer. I could feel their strong will to kill me. And I also noticed that they were nervous.
‘They’re clumsy. It doesn’t seem like I’ll lose.’
So I ran towards them. They swung their weapons at me. I didn’t even need to use super concentration. I just stepped back slightly.
Whoosh, whoosh.
Their weapons cut through the air a few times. They were trying to keep me away. Then they approached me and swung their weapons.
After dodging the sashimi knife once, a gap appeared. I didn’t miss the chance and approached, stabbing the knife into the man’s neck. I grabbed the sashimi knife that fell powerlessly to the ground as if catching it and ran towards the man with the hammer.
“Y-you bastard!!”
He was startled and hurriedly swung the hammer. An attack that relied solely on strength without any technique. I easily dodged it and stabbed the man’s neck with the sashimi knife. I deliberately didn’t aim for the torso. I also had to clean up the bodies. If blood and guts spilled everywhere, it would be very annoying to clean up.
‘The yard is a little dirty with blood… but I can just clean it with water.’
If Shin Do-hyeon helps me, it’ll be quick to dispose of the bodies. Shin Do-hyeon’s ability can be used to put the bodies in her subspace and dump them at a suitable beach.
“Do-hyeon, will this fit in your subspace?”
I called out to Shin Do-hyeon, who was behind me. She was no longer fazed by corpses.
“I think I can fit one body if I crumple it up.”
“Hmm. Come to think of it, there’s the Devil’s Game. If I win the Devil’s Game, this problem will be solved, right? Let’s just bury them in the yard.”
It became very annoying to deal with them.
“Don’t talk nonsense and do it properly.”
I had no choice but to go to the sea by car and dump the bodies, as Shin Do-hyeon suggested.
