Chapter 668 – Side Story 171) the Chaser (70)
171) The Chaser (70)
A woman was immersed in a huge test tube filled with a blue liquid. A respirator was connected to her woman’s mouth, and in addition, tubes were inserted here and there in her arms to supply nutrients necessary for survival.
“…”
A middle-aged man was looking at a woman in a test tube. The man’s eyes looking at her woman contained longing, affection, and guilt that could not be hidden.
“Why are you still not waking up? Do you hate me that much?”
The man put his hand to the test tube and spoke to her woman. To be fair, she didn’t even open her eyes, and she didn’t answer the man’s words.
“I should have done better… I should have protected you… I’m sorry. I’m really sorry.”
The man’s words were tinged with deep guilt.
I swore on my knees that I would be with you for the rest of my life, that I would give up this one life for you, and that no one would harm you, but I couldn’t keep a single one.
The happiness that I thought would last forever disappeared in an instant like the petals of a spring day.
“I’ll get you back no matter what. So… So hold on a little longer.”
The middle-aged man vowed to get her woman back.
I will definitely keep this oath.
The man made a promise.
The man, who once stroked the test tube in which the woman was in, turned her body away with vague eyes. He walked down the dark hallway and took the elevator upstairs.
And the elevator door opened.
“My lord!”
“… What’s going on?”
In front of the elevator, the family elders and other influential people were waiting for him. The urgency on their faces made the man realize that something had happened.
“The Dokgo family, the Dokgo family…!”
“…”
As the elder explained, the face of the man, Lee Sang-gye, hardened.
*****
A silent uproar broke out in Red Town.
The Dokgo family was destroyed overnight, the hideous monster that appeared in the Dokgo family, and the man who defeated that monster.
There was nothing that wasn’t shocking.
In fact, people already guessed that there was a change in the Dokgo family. It was because of the barrier of wind surrounding the Dokgo family.
What enters the barrier is the wind that rips people apart, whether they are human or not.
It was a wind that felt malicious intent to block the entry and exit of the outside and the escape of the inside.
It is not known who set up such a strong wind barrier, but it was clear that it was a terrorist attack targeting the Dokgo family.
However, no one expected that the Dokgo family would perish.
Isn’t that also the Dokgo family?
The Dokgo family was born at the same time as Red Town was built, and is a traditional family with a long history spanning hundreds of years.
In addition, the psychic people active in the Dokgo family are all unusual people, and they are veterans who have successfully stopped the monsters from attacking Red Town.
Therefore, he did not expect the Dokgo family’s extinction.
The video that went viral on the Internet was truly shocking.
Dozens or hundreds of psychics were defeated by a man in a black mask and suit.
The brutal process spread to the world as a clear quality video as if it were filmed at close range.
After checking the video, the six families hurriedly tried to erase it. This is because the news agency was only one of the six businesses.
The people of the six families thought the video would go down soon, but things started to go strangely.
No matter what the person who spread the video did, the video did not go down. He tried to put a superpower that cuts off the Internet, but this also did not work.
Thanks to that, everyone in Red Town could see the video showing the Dokgo family’s extinction process.
In fact, it couldn’t be said that it was a big damage to the six families up to this point.
Because the villains who want to destroy Red Town can manipulate public opinion.
However, an hour after the video was released, a new video was released to the world, which gave a bigger shock.
-Eat… Ee… Ee… Ee… Ee… Ee…
– Aaaaagh!
It was a terrible and brutal video that would not be strange even if it was labeled as 19 gold or 99 gold.
An ugly 5m tall monster catches the Dokgo family’s powers. When he brought it to his body, an unknown liquid gushed out from the monster’s body and soaked the body of the captive. Then, the body of the capable person melted and was absorbed by the monster in 10 seconds.
A featureless head sprouted from the monster’s back, and a missing feature appeared from its shoulder. Not only that, but two new arms sprouted from his chest, and two new legs sprouted from his legs.
It was impossible not to know that it was the body of a person with abilities that had just been absorbed.
The title of the video was:
[Original Sin of the Dokgo Family]
It was a nuanced title that said that this monster that absorbs powers was decided and raised by the Dokgo family. Also, at the end of the video, I came up with a text saying that other families are making monsters similar to or equivalent to this through human experimentation.
Of course, this video was released and the six families as well as the citizens went crazy.
The destruction of the Dokgo family can be considered as the worst crime committed by the villains, but this is not the case.
Seven families are making these terrible monsters?
The suspicion raised by the video has left a huge impact on the minds of those who have lived under the domination of the seven families.
Until now, the citizens of the Seven Families remained calm even if they were dissatisfied with them because the Seven Families protected them from the monsters outside Red Town.
That’s why he deliberately avoided some serious crimes.
Because without the seven families, there is no one to stop the monsters.
However, it was a different story when seven families were conducting human experimentation, which is taboo in modern society, and creating such terrible monsters.
No matter how much the seven families defended themselves, even if they monopolized the military, this was a story that could never be passed over.
“Everyone! Let’s go to the seven families right now! We have the right to hear the truth from them!”
In any world, there are bound to be rebels.
Even if the seven families could get rid of them silently if they put their heart to it, those who were born with the prize of rebelliousness gathered people and ran toward the seven families as if their lives were not wasted.
Of course, all they could do was protest outside the high walls to reveal the truth, but that alone was great.
So far, no one has held a protest against the seven families.
When another hour passed after the video of a human monster absorbing psychic powers was released, the last video was released to the world.
It was a scene in which a man in a black mask and suit defeats a monster.
Question marks popped up in people’s heads.
Who the hell is the man who defeated that monster?
Those with good eyes quickly figured out who the man was.
-I know who he is. That person is the villain publicly wanted by the Lee family.
B Villain? Why does the villain kill the monster?
Nmall?Lu? But the villain is right. Wanted here.
Why b?
Another question mark appeared in the minds of those who checked the wanted letter for Steel Armor that someone had posted.
Why did the so-called Villain defeat the monster?
Anyway, the important thing is that with the three videos released sequentially, the citizens’ trust in the seven families is hitting the bottom as if it were my stock, and the people who lived in the realm of other families also learned about the existence of Steel Armor.

“It’s truly a miracle to be able to buy such an antique mansion at such a low price. You are really lucky.”
Haha! I’m a bit lucky. How dare my girlfriends call me Lucky Armor? Ahahaha!”
Haha…”
At the time when Red Town was in a frenzy, Steel Armor, who aroused people’s curiosity, purchased a mansion through a real estate agent.
Of course, the real estate agent didn’t notice that he was wearing steel armor because he wasn’t wearing his signature mask.
“Hiya~ But this mansion really only costs 6 billion won?
“Hye… What? Uh… I don’t know what that means, but it’s true that it’s cheap. If the previous owner didn’t need money urgently, it would have been at least five times more expensive.”
“Wow! Then 30 billion? Then when I sell this house later, I’ll have to sell it for 30 billion. 25 billion honey.”
Haha…Then I’ll go, sir.”
“Ah, yes. Thank you for your hard work.”
The mansion that Steel Armor bought with cash head-butt was a four-story mansion.
There is no one to maintain the mansion, so it is a bit dusty, and the garden is a bit messy with plants growing haphazardly, but what is certain is that it is a cheap sale.
“Oh fuck.”
The broker who came out shivered in the cool chill.
“You mean you feel dirty every time you come here?”
The broker, who had been looking at the newly-occupied mansion with disquieting eyes, soon turned away.
“It’s a little pitiful for the young guy… But you’ve met your parents well, ate well, and lived well, right?
The broker muttered, thinking of the steel armor. If he had enough wealth to pay a whopping 6 billion in cash at a young age, it was clear that he met his parents well.
Actually, there is one problem with this mansion. So, the sale came out at a price of 20%.
However, the broker did not tell Steel Armor about the mansion’s problems. It was a sympathy stemming from the broker’s jealousy, who thought Steel Armor was a golden spoon that met his parents well.
“Ugh~ I finally got rid of the malicious inventory.”
The broker who handled the malicious inventory returned to his bokdeokbang with light steps.
