Chapter 148 – #149 Opening Decree
#149 Opening Decree
The titan pipe, which had been knocked over backwards, hurriedly got up and stood in front of me. I wanted to give him another one, but I held back. Because there was no time for this.
Now the bastards who created this mess are roaming the streets at night. We had to catch them quickly before they killed more people.
“Take these bastards here until the sun rises. If you don’t catch them, you’re going to America. Okay?”
“Yes!”
I don’t know what it means to go to America, but the titanium pipe answered. I guess I instinctively sensed that, whatever that might mean, the rage in my voice was going to make me feel bad.
‘Isn’t the main body going to step out?’
Currently, this body (Maktu) was in the state of a level 7 body enhancer, and that was enough to deal with the criminals. Fortunately, the culprits weren’t strong enough for the body to come forward.
However, if there is anything to worry about, will it be that the person behind this incident will be revealed?
Of course, you don’t have to worry too much about that. If you have to, you can use the location location exchange skill with the main body.
‘But just in case you don’t know, let’s get ready.’
Currently, the main body was having sex with Gina. As soon as Gina goes to sleep, she will put on her steel armor and stay on standby for summoning.
“I’ll search around here too, so call me if anything happens.”
“Are you planning to move the boss yourself?”
“Okay.”
“Then me too…”
“No. You’ll stay here and call me as soon as you hear anything. Okay?”
“I will, Boss.”
Jungbo tried to follow me, but I left him at the factory. Shouldn’t I leave at least one guy who can relay information to me in real time?
Joongbo is a quick-witted guy, so if there is news that I need to know about, he will let me know right away.
As I drove around, I called the memory hunter. It’s because I heard from Yuna that the person in charge of the investigation into the Steam drug case is a memory hunter.
– What’s up again.
“You say you’re investigating a drug called steam, which is popular these days?”
-…Where did you hear that? Is that top secret?
Most of the heroes knew about it, right? To say it’s top secret, shouldn’t it be hidden even from the same heroes?
“There is a way to know everything. Anyway, let’s work together with me.”
-What?
Even when I suggested that they work together, the memory hunters reacted as if they were absurd.
In the past, when Rachel was kidnapped again, she chased down and rescued her children, but at that time it was possible because it was a very sudden and special case.
If the fact that the hero and the villain worked together is known, then both the hero and the villain couldn’t be safe.
He is criticized by the same heroes and citizens for how incompetent a hero is to borrow the help of a villain. He’s effectively getting buried in the hero industry.
And it was the same with the villains.
There is an unwritten rule in the villain industry that no matter what the circumstances, ask for a helping hand from a hero.
Villain has face, how could he ask the hero for help?
Although they are villains who do not abide by the law, they strictly abide by the unwritten rules created by themselves. The villain immediately became a public enemy, and the villains killed them with their own hands.
That’s why the memory hunter reacted with absurdity to my proposal to work together first.
But I don’t care at all about that unwritten rule.
Pride? What does that mean?
Of course, self-esteem is important.
But more important than that, it was more important to catch the bastards who dared to kill over 20 people like this in my district, and that by using my men.
I can’t end it by beating up my ex-men who suddenly become crazy like crazy. I have to bring out the guys hiding behind it and kill them, so that my stomach will be relieved.
And the villains beat me for breaking the unwritten rule? Come wherever you want to come.
‘I’m Steel Armor, you bastard.’
Who dares to kill me And I still have 2 more psychic power generation tickets. There are also 17 superpower level up tickets. If you attack, he will come after you.
As I said before, what does it matter whether it’s a white cat or a black cat, as long as it catches mice well?
Whether I became a hero or a villain, all I had to do was catch those bastards who pissed me off.
“Are you going to do it or not?”
– Why should I hold your hand? Without you I…
“Because I’m thinking of killing the bastards who made and distributed Steam.”
-What? Why are you
“Let’s meet and talk about that later. I’m a bit busy right now. Anyway, I’ll call you back, so think about it until then.”
-Hey! Steel Armor! Hey!
I ignored the memory hunter’s shouts and hung up. He counted to 10 seconds and called him again.
“Have you thought about it?”
-Hey!
“Chuckling!”
He hung up again. This man has a taste for teasing.
*****
Aaaaa-!
“Bingo.”
The ears of a 10th-level body enhancer did not miss the distant screams. Of course, the fact that it was a quiet dawn also played a role.
I stopped the car and immediately ran towards the place where I heard the scream.
“Kreur… I’m hungry… Kwaaaaa!”
“Aaaaagh!”
“Quaaaaah!”
I saw the familiar tight back of the head attacking a man howling like an animal, and a woman screaming from behind.
Are there any other guys?
‘It’s like fucking shit.’
The other tights were nowhere to be seen. They must have scattered while escaping the factory. This is annoying.
“Hey.”
“Kreur…!”
“Yumma!”
“Kreuk?!”
“Help!”
Ignoring the woman’s cries for help, I looked at Pokppakgi.
Hearing my voice, he turned his head with red blood on his mouth. I looked at the man being held by it, and his shoulders were stained with blood. It looked like he had been bitten on the shoulder by a prick.
“Why did the prick go mad? Huh?”
“Kreureu… Steel armor… Giggle giggle!”
“What? Are you laughing?”
“Now… Kreuk… I think I can kill you too! Kwaaa!”
“How are you?”
He let out a strange cry and rushed at me.
What? What is the bottomless confidence?
Jumping with his hands and feet, he moved 10m in an instant and tried to bite my thigh.
‘Steel skin.’
So I pushed my leg in using the steel skin skill.
Kwadeuk-!
He liked it and bit my thigh.
“Keuuk?”
The guy who bit my thigh realized something was wrong. As he opened his mouth, his shattered teeth fell out. No matter how psychic you become, if you bite into steel, your teeth will inevitably break.
I grabbed the bewildered bastard’s head.
“Why did you become a dog from a human? Huh? Did your intelligence deteriorate?”
“Uh, why… I’m sure I’ve gotten stronger…!”
“I think this guy has become the strongest in the universe after studying the sciences. And this guy.”
I lifted him up. My head was caught, and the legs of the prick fell off the ground.
“Where the dog bites the owner!”
Pak-!
“Cheukhak?!”
I fed him headbutt and he lost his mind just like that.
He hadn’t unlocked his steel skin skill yet, so it was like he had a headbutt with a lump of metal. I threw the stunned man aside and approached the injured man and the woman who was trembling with tears.
“Are you okay?”
“Who… Hey?!”
“S, steel armor!”
The two men and women immediately recognized me. When you asked me for help earlier, it seems that you didn’t know that I was a steel armor.
“Are you seriously injured? So much so that you can’t walk?”
“Oh, no.”
“Then can I not take you to the hospital?”
“Huh? Ah, yes… Kuh!”
The man grimaced, as if his shoulder hurt from being bitten by the dog. I took my wallet out of my suit pocket and handed the money to the man. It will be roughly around $30,000.
“I’ll pay the hospital bill with this.”
“Yes? Uh…”
When I handed over the money, the man and woman were taken aback. It seems that he did not think that the villain would give money to pay for the hospital bill.
I put money into the hands of such a woman (I don’t want to hold a man’s hand).
“First of all, that guy was my subordinate until a few hours ago. It’s compensation for the damage he received, so take it.
“Yes! I know!”
“I’ll take it to the grave!”
“Okay. Then go to the hospital. I’ll take care of that guy.”
As it was, I got into the car with the fainting dog. I’ll look around the patrol a little longer and interrogate.
*****
Continuing to search District 80, I returned to the factory immediately after receiving a call from Joongbo. It is said that Titan Fife and his men caught other dog thugs, as if my damn thing was helpful. Three were killed and two arrested.
At the hideout of the Titan Pipe, we tied up the thugs and started interrogating them.
“Come on, my old subordinates. Tell me the truth about why you killed your comrades and people. Then I’ll let you go so you don’t get sick.”
“Bo, krr… Boss! I think I’m crazy for a second! Help me please!”
“Please save me! Kreureu…!”
“Are these dogs or people? Are they growling all the time?”
They act like dogs, so I guess I should treat them like real dogs.
From now on, I am Kang Hyung-wook, no Steel Hyung-wook.
“These bastards!”
“Heheh?!”
“Kak?!”
“Aagh!”
Once I slapped him. Next, they beat me again and again until my hands were sweaty, including my thighs, stomach, and shoulders.
Actually, I am not Steel Hyung-wook. Steel Nakamura.
Big head!
*****
Discipline time continued for a while. I only hit the places where I was hit because it hurt a lot. Then, they twisted their bodies, as if the squid had possessed it this time.
“Are you willing to talk now?”
“Cre…”
“Cre?”
“Lup! I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you everything!”
Again, the one who howled like a dog hurriedly shut his mouth when I glared at him. And he said he would give it all away. It’s going to be like that soon, but it’s bothering people.
“Then tell me. Why did you betray me and kill people? I would have told you that the price of betrayal is death?”
Actually, I never said anything like that. However, killing a traitor is something that happens openly in a villain organization, and everyone knows it without having to say it.
“That, that’s…”
“This bastard doesn’t answer right away? Hasn’t he been disciplined yet? Forehead.”
“Oh, no! Let me tell you! That, it… Wanted to… Kill.”
Is this makgeolli?
“I killed because I just wanted to kill? That many people? Yes, I wanted to kill you guys too. So stop dying.”
“It’s not like that! Doing drugs suddenly gave me the urge to kill! I just couldn’t control it!”
“Yes! Doing drugs suddenly gave me strength!”
“It’s true!”
“Hmm.”
Looking at the earnest eyes, it seemed that he was not playing a gura. Again, my guess was correct.
Even after that, they explained to me at length why they did what they did. But it wasn’t particularly nutritious.
“Yeah, I got it.”
Since there was no more information about Cal, I turned around without hesitation.
“Boss!”
“Please save me!”
“We never meant to betray! Boss! Boss!”
From behind, the three brothers called me sadly, but I didn’t look back.
“What are they going to do?”
“Lock it up for now. Oh, before that.”
I didn’t check what superpowers they had. If I had a body enhancer superpower, I was thinking of sending it to the United States with my own hands and collecting experience points.
I used the psychic analyzer on them and-
[The Psychic Analyst Psychic cannot be used on a target that does not have a Psychic.]
[Psychic Analyst Psychic cannot be used on targets who do not possess Psychic.]
[Psychic Analyst Psychic cannot be used on targets who do not possess Psychic.]
“… Uh?”
I opened my eyes.
You don’t have superpowers…?
