Chapter 317 – #318 Mine
#318 mine
‘A rat?’
What do you say to the king who will rule the world beyond the Dark City in the future? A rat?
“Fuck what kind of bastard you are.”
I wouldn’t have been this angry if he had insulted me with a big dick (?). Because it’s true
So, I couldn’t stand the insult of calling me a rat.
I am a tiger who commands mountains and rivers, and a lion who rules vast grasslands. It is also an eagle flying in the endless sky and a ruthless predator, the Leviathan Melville, who rules the blue sea.
… Huh? Wait for a sec. Aren’t the leviathan melvillei extinct?
What does it matter Anyway, it doesn’t matter that I’m that fucking strong.
Swoop-
He raised his fist and prepared to hit the floor. 내려가서 어떤 씹새끼가 날 쥐새끼라고 모욕했는지 면상을 봐야겠다.
So it was the moment I was about to punch down.
-Jjik-!
“… Huh?”
At that time, the pitiful cry of a mouse was heard from below. Rat?
– Huh… What kind of rats are there?
– That’s why you have to clean up every now and then.
-Then what if someone is interested in this?
“…”
I lowered my fist and put my ear to the floor again. Ah… I’m not talking about that?
-Who haven’t I told you?
I heard the voice of the guy who misunderstood me with his rat-like remarks.
– Supernatural power is beyond our imagination, so always be careful. There may be psychics who can communicate with this rat.
-But isn’t that being overly cautious? Honestly how do you know us…
– Mr. Jason.
– Approach… Yes?
The guy’s voice lowered. The temperature seemed to drop.
– Said the host. There’s nothing wrong with being overly careful. Are you disobeying the host?
– No, that’s not…
The next moment, completely unexpected words, or rather, a name, came out of his mouth.
-I remember that Jason was greedy for Shadow Killer’s vacancy. And I know that it hurts because New Face took that place. So, didn’t the host arrange a plan for you? And yet he cannot curb his greedy heart?
– No, I’m not…
‘… Who?’
The guys in the basement had a few more conversations, but I didn’t hear anything after that.
‘Shadow Killer?’
Why is that name suddenly appearing here? What is the name of the guy who fell asleep after being robbed of me?
-Anyway, the meeting ends here. Please, everyone, please keep your mouth shut… Kink-nim just needs to continue as he has done so far.
-Do not worry.
-Great. Then let’s go
“…”
Organize your thoughts for later.

“I’m old too.”
With a tired expression on his face, Kink rubbed his shoulder and went into his study. Kink was the only inhabitant of this vast mansion.
Families live in different houses and housekeepers commute. It was a space where no one had to look.
And it was the moment Kink came into the study and was about to turn on the light.
“Old is old. If you’re over 70, you’re an old man.”
“…Who are you?”
His finger, which was about to turn on the light, stopped. In the darkness, there was someone in his study. The one who wasn’t invited.
“What’s wrong, you can’t hear who I am?”
“Well. I’m not that good at memory.”
Swoop-
From the tip of Kink’s finger, a solid line protruded so faintly that it was difficult to see. He was over 70 years old, but he had the face of a man in his 40s. He, too, was a psychic.
Did he think he had the upper hand? The uninvited guest sitting with his back in the chair was not looking at him. Kink intended to use the uninvited guest’s carelessness to ambush them.
Then, the uninvited guest opened his mouth.
“Really? I’ve been talking about myself lately, so I thought you knew me well.”
“How am I supposed to know someone who hides his identity and sneaks into someone else’s study… No way?”
Kink, who was talking to divert the nerves of the uninvited guest, recognized who he was. He was old, but still his brain and eyes were quick. He wasn’t the president of the biggest broadcasting station in Dark City for nothing.
“Steel armor?”
“Bingo.”
Round and round-
The uninvited guest who turned the chair, no Steel Armor, revealed his identity to Kink.
‘Why the author?’
It couldn’t have been a really unexpected appearance.
In that moment, Kink had thought up a list of people he could send assassins to, but there was no steel armor on them.
Also in his mind was a conversation he had had a few days before the plan was put into action.
-Steel armor… Are you trying to use him?
-That’s right. Compared to other S-class villains, Steel Armor has only recently revealed its existence. If he uses him, he’ll be able to do things much easier.
-Steel armor… Is that so?
-Yes?
-No. Kink, do whatever you want. Instead, just keep this in mind.
– What do you mean?
– That he is an unpredictable being.
‘That’s right.’
Unpredictable.
Even with the wisdom of a 70-year-old man, he never expected that Steel Armor would come to his house.
“This… A completely unexpected person appeared. If he was going to come, he should have come during the day instead of suddenly at such a late hour. Then I wouldn’t have been so surprised. The doctor told me to be careful not to put too much strain on his heart.”
“Oops. I almost killed you with just my presence. After all, I’m the best (?) In Dark City? Anyway, I’m sorry.”
“…?”
Are you handsome? Isn’t that what young people say? Did you mean… A fucking handsome guy? But why did you say that you are a respectable man while talking about your presence?
Steel Armor’s humor was not understood even by a 70-year-old.
“Anyway, since you have business, you must have come to me at such a late hour? How can I… Have a drink?”
“Oh! I like alcohol. I like alcohol.”
“Then.”
Kink was taken aback for a moment, but quickly regained his composure. He took out two glasses, poured out the wine, and handed one to Steel Armor.
“Keuuu! It’s bitter! Tsuba, why the hell are you drinking alcohol that has no taste buds? It’s better to drink hot coke than to drink alcohol.”
“…?”
Didn’t that bastard just say he likes to drink? But now, no, hot cola?
‘… Really unpredictable.’
I only had a brief conversation with Steel Armor, but I felt like I was going crazy.
“Oh right Kink.”
“Hmm… As far as I know, I’ve heard that steel armor is polite to adults, but it doesn’t seem to be all that.”
“Huh? What about it? In society, people say that a 1-year age difference is a friend, right? Let’s be friends comfortably.”
“… How old are you?”
“Me? I’m 30 years old.”
“… Isn’t it a year difference?”
“Ah~ Think carefully. Since I’m 30, I’m friends with the 31-year-old, right? But since the 31-year-old is friends with the 32-year-old, he’s friends with me too? Because I’m friends with the 31-year-old. And the 32-year-old is friends with the 33-year-old, and I’m also a friend of the 33-year-old.” I’m friends with Sal. If you go all the way up like this, in the end, you and I will come to the conclusion that you are friends.”
“…”
Kink stared at Steel Armor, who showed the magic of a 30-year-old and a 74-year-old becoming her friend.
Isn’t that just unpredictable, crazy? Oh, you’re crazy, so you’re unpredictable?
“So why did you come to see me?”
“Oh right. Did you come to talk about that? Since you’re talking nonsense, I said something else.”
“…”
‘Be patient, be patient.’
Kink was able to keep his composure no matter what, but the more he spoke with the steel armor, the more difficult it was to keep calm.
“Then let’s get down to business? But, Kink.”
“Why but?”
“Before we get to the point, let me give you a warning.”
“Warning?”
“Yeah. Warning. If you use superpowers in front of me one more time without my permission, will you die?”
“…!”
Did you notice that? Steel Armor’s warning gave Kink goosebumps.
“Then start the game, no start the talk. Why don’t you deposit my fee?”
“… What?”
“No Tsuba, if you put me on the news main, you won’t have to pay me an appearance fee? Huh? Don’t you know the portrait rights? Why are you fucking using my picture without my permission? You want to die? Give me the appearance fee! Give me compensation for mental damage!”
“…”
The moment he heard that, Kink gave up on understanding Steel Armor.
After all, the madman was an incomprehensible being.
*****
“Give me the appearance fee! The compensation for mental damage! Do you know how expensive a man I am?! Huh? Should we follow the law?!”
Slap-!
‘Done.’
My eyes lit up when I saw the nanoparticles clinging to the hem of Kink’s pants. The reason I spit out nonsense while arguing about the appearance fee was to plant nanoparticles in him.
Enough to catch all the guys who were there earlier. Because there is no psychic who can stop me.
But I didn’t.
‘These guys can be limbs or torsos, but not heads.’
It seems that there are really many organizations operating in the shadows in Dark City. I thought I figured out most of them, but aren’t there new ones coming out?
Dark City was an onion. It keeps coming out.
Anyway, the guys hiding in the shadows and trying to create a new hero association, I think these guys were never the head.
The head was probably the [Host] Who frequently appeared throughout the conversation. It must be him
They had to be hit on the head and burned, but cutting off their limbs didn’t mean they were over. Especially the forelimbs like Piccolo! The hind legs are swollen! Even more so those who do.
If they didn’t get rid of their heads, they would regenerate indefinitely.
There is no evidence yet that these are my enemies. Also, these guys didn’t take any action against me.
But I’m sure they will soon become my enemies.
Why?
‘Why would you want to establish a new hero association? Of course, because they want to rule the Dark City.’
The symbolism and power of the Hero Association in Dark City was significant.
To put it bluntly, even in the city, the Hero Association paid a lot of attention, to the point that no hero-related bills were ever made or passed except for one.
Even that once was the [Principle of Non-killing] That the Hero Association created on its own because public opinion at the time was so bad.
Anyway, the Hero Association was no different from a private organization with considerable power in the Dark City. To the point where the Dark City might collapse without the Hero Association.
In other words, these guys plan to use the new Hero Association to bring down the existing Hero Association and take all of their symbols, powers, and powers.
And in the past, they would put the entire Dark City on my palm and try to control it.
‘That doesn’t work.’
I wouldn’t know if I hadn’t known all this time, but I had no intention of staying still as long as I knew their intentions. I intend to do everything in my power to sabotage them.
Because-
‘Dark City is mine.’
-Because Dark City is mine.
Right now it only occupies a dozen districts, but later I will have the entire Dark City. Become the first president of the Dark City.
‘President Tsuba!’
The 11th dream I had as a child, the president.
As its president, I will put all the beautiful women of the Dark City into my harem.
So, I could never coexist with these guys who were aiming for the Dark City.
One of them had to die and I didn’t want to die. Then the answer came out.
‘You guys die.’
From head to toe, I will eat these guys in one fell swoop.
