Chapter 604 – Side Story 107) the Chaser(6)
107) The Chaser (6)
Lee Sang-gye, who had kicked out his daughter’s bodyguard who wouldn’t hurt even if he put it in his eyes, looked at his daughter. I still had something to ask her.
“What’s that guy anyway? Tony Styx? That weirdo.”
“Dad! It’s weird! You’re the one who saved me! Oh, that’s right. Come to think of it, where is Mr. Tony? I can’t see him? Where is he?”
At the father’s question, Lee Yu-ri finally realized that the Dark Knight was invisible.
“It could be a spy, so I locked it in my heart for now.”
“Yes? He locked him in the depths?”
Lee Yoo-ri’s eyes widened when he said that he had trapped the dark knight who saved him in his heart. She was so shocked that her hands trembled slightly.
“Why did you do that! He’s the one who saved me!”
“Well…Wouldn’t you find out if he saved you with pure intentions or if he had other ulterior motives?”
“Yes? What do you mean by that?”
Yu-ri’s face hardened at her something meaningful. Because the way he was talking made it sound as if he had saved himself with some scheme.
In fact, Lee Sang-gye’s words are only half true. He didn’t get it with pure intentions, but with another ulterior motive.
If Lee Yu-ri had not been her beauty, the Dark Knight would never have saved her.
“I did some research on him before you came back.”
“… You already did a background investigation?”
Did you already do a background check?
Lee Yu-ri was sometimes afraid of her father, who was always suspicious. When they showed such a cold appearance, I wondered if the affection they showed for them was actually acting.
“I still have to do some more research, but he said he doesn’t know.”
“Yes? He doesn’t know Him?”
“Okay.”
As a result of the background investigation, no one knew the face of the Dark Knight. Yuri’s eyes widened to the size of a lantern.
It took only about 10 minutes for the news of Lee Yu-ri’s near death to reach the ears of the ideal world.
And within 10 minutes, Lee Sang-gye had completed the background investigation of the Dark Knight.
“Who did you entrust the investigation to?”
“[Thousand Eyes].”
“A thousand eyes…!”
There are numerous intelligence organizations in Red Town, but the foremost among them is [Thousand Eyes].
The information sold by Thousand Eyes is too expensive for criminals to imagine. And as expensive as it was, the reliability of the information provided by a thousand eyes was 100%.
There is no way to avoid the watch of a thousand eyes in this Red Town. There are only two ways to avoid their eyes. Either die or leave Red Town.
At least, only the heads of the seven families that rule Red Town are out of sight of a thousand eyes.
‘No, maybe he’s always being watched.’
Lee Sang-gye recalled a thousand eyes and smiled bitterly inwardly.
Each of the seven families runs an intelligence organization. However, the Thousand Eyes possessed information power one level higher than that of the intelligence organization run by the seven families.
This annoyed him, and he always wanted to get rid of them from Red Town, even though he used the services provided by the Thousand Eyes.
But since I don’t know where the Thousand Eyes are, I just thought I wanted to get rid of them.
“When they say they don’t know, it means no one in Red Town knows the guy who saved you. Do you know what that means?”
“…”
Anyway, back to the main topic, apart from personal feelings, Lee Sang-gye believed the information provided by a thousand eyes.
If they said they didn’t know who the Dark Knight was, then it was safe to assume that no one in Red Town knew the Dark Knight.
“One is an outsider.”
“Foreigner…”
It meant an outsider, someone from outside Red Town. And Lee Yoo-ri’s eyes twinkled as she stared at the floor at the word ‘foreigner’.
“And the other one means that he was raised by another family.”
“Isn’t that going too far?”
Lee Yu-ri thought his father was guessing. Why is he from another family, why is he aiming at himself?
She has one older brother and one older sister above her, and one younger brother under her. Even if Lee Yu-ri dies, the prestigious Lee family will not collapse.
However, the ideal world thought differently.
“Today, you visited the workplace where the family’s talented people are located for the first time. And then, of course, monsters attacked, and an unknown face saved you from danger. Is this series of processes really a coincidence? If coincidence continues, it’s inevitable.” .”
“…”
Seeing her father’s stubborn eyes, Yuri realized.
That the Kkondae mode has been activated…!
Lee Sang-gye, who had the Kkondae mode activated, could never be persuaded no matter what anyone said. He was usually the king of stubborn shit, but now he has become the king of shit.
“Obviously there is someone behind the child. And Park Jin -soo, the dog, was also sympathized with it. A guy who forgot the grace to eat. I will never go beyond this. And I will show you what happens if you target our Lee family.”
“Ha…”
Seeing her father become a poop, Lee Yu-ri washed her face dry.
‘I can’t stay like this.’
He had to let his father escape before he did strange things to his benefactor and childhood friend.
However, she alone cannot save the dark knight and Park Jin-soo who are trapped in her heart.
Lee Yu-ri, who came out of the house, went straight to my sister.
*****
Half an hour had passed since she was put in jail.
“Hmm… Are you mad?”
I wondered if I had done anything that deserved imprisonment, but no matter how much I thought about it, I didn’t do anything wrong.
Well, in a way, it was as if I had brought a monster, but it was literally force majeure. The White Killer has infiltrated Red Town and must be stopped before he can slaughter like he did in the Dark City.
Besides, the people here didn’t know that I brought a monster.
Isn’t there a saying that if you get caught, it’s illegal, and if you don’t know, it’s legal?
Therefore, I am innocent.
On the contrary, since he saved the daughter of a well-to-do family, it was not enough to receive the utmost hospitality.
By the way, after seeing the large mansion, I noticed that Lee Yuri was the daughter of a good family. A big house symbolizes authority.
Anyway, even if you treat me as an honored guest, you put me in prison because it’s not enough! Even 30 minutes have passed and they still haven’t found me!
“It’s been a while since you’ve been feeding these things?”
It seems that I followed too meekly. They say it’s easy to get caught if you just show a good side, but that’s the case now.
I tried to seduce Lee Yoo-ri with the pure love concept, but it didn’t work. I have to show my real face.
“Bondi, I started out as a villain, these guys.”
Now, as my image changed from a villain to a hero, I was embarrassed (?), But the fact that I was a villain did not change.
New city, new beginning.
Then it was necessary to go back to the basics.
Didn’t they say that the end of tuning was chastity?
“I knew this and got a mask.”
Before leaving Dark City, I went to the store and bought Steel Armor, a skull mask that is now the symbol of the Dark Knight. I have about 1,000 masks in my inventory, but I can’t use the power of chaos, so I bought one just in case.
“I don’t know why I became a fad, I want…”
Currently, in Dark City, it is called a dark knight mask, and children as well as adults wear masks with skull drawings on them.
I didn’t feel bad because I felt like I had become a trendsetter, but I was embarrassed to think that others were following me.
Anyway, I took out a mask from the inside pocket of my suit and put it on.
“Sweep~ Haa~ Yes, this is it. A nostalgic feeling that sticks to your face.”
As I put on the mask, my heart, which was filled with being fed, calmed down.
Now, I don’t feel any remorse even if I press the doorbell of someone else’s house and run away or steal money to buy food for the kids.
“Then shall we go now?”
I got up from my seat and grabbed the iron bars. And stretched out on both sides. The iron bars bent from side to side like rubber bands.
“The Dark Knight sortie… Hmm. But since the Dark Knight is a symbol of justice, should we just go back to the beginning?”
I was thinking of writing the dark knight as it is, but when I thought about it, the dark knight had a strong image of the dark city’s guardian and hero.
No matter how selfish I was, I didn’t want to tarnish the symbol of justice for some reason. A symbol can exert its true power only when its value is not damaged.
“Okay. The steel armor sortie is over!”
Steel Armor, a very nostalgic echo.
“Huh? What is that guy?”
“… An intruder!”
“Catch!”
As I walked down the aisle, I was spotted by two guards on patrol. They recognized that I was an intruder.
Roaring-!
Flames shot from one guard’s hand, while the other drew his sword. The jailer who made the fire threw the flame at the sword of the other jailer.
“Fire sword!”
I don’t know if the jailer’s sword was special or if the fire was made by the jailer’s excellent control, but the sword did not melt even though it was engulfed in flames.
“Haaaaagh!”
The jailer who evolved an ordinary sword into a fire sword charged at me. The fire sword is definitely cool.
But that’s it.
Even if I can’t use the power of chaos, I’m currently a level 11 body enhancer. On the other hand, the guards were only 6th level psychics.
There is a huge gap between the 6th and 7th levels, let alone the 11th level.
They couldn’t be my opponent.
“Haaaaagh!”
The jailer holding the fire sword swung the sword at me.
Snap-!
And I grabbed the fire sword wielded by the jailer with my bare hands. It was hot, but that was it. He didn’t even hurt his palms.
“What…?!”
“Why So Serious?”
“What?”
Jab-!
“Ouch…!”
He slapped the guard and knocked him down. Surprised by the performance of holding the sword in flames with his bare hands, the jailer collapsed unconscious.
“You’re in luck.”
He looked down at the stunned guard and whispered softly.
If I had been a villain with no blood or tears, I would have killed the guard instead of knocking him out. But now I was a steel armor, immortal villain in the early days.
Doesn’t kill.
“You’re next.”
“Monster, monster! Don’t come! Don’t come!”
He easily defeated the guard and approached the guard who handled the fire. He was terrified as he realized that he couldn’t win when he defeated the jailer in one fell swoop.
I held out both my hands to him.
“Aaaaah?”
The jailer screamed with his eyes closed, but when I didn’t do anything, he cautiously opened his eyes. I said to the guard who was looking at me.
“Do it.”
“… Yes?”
“I did that earlier, fire sword, please do that too. I’ll do fire fist.”
“…?”
I can’t throw away the fire.
“You won’t? Then I’ll have no choice but to kill you.”
“Do it, I’ll do it!”
Roaring-!
At the word kill, the jailer immediately lit my arm on fire.
“Oh! Isn’t this hot?”
Contrary to what I thought would be hot, the fire on my arm was not hot.
“Does the fire go out when you pass out?”
“No, that’s not it. It turns itself off after 30 minutes.”
“Okay?”
It didn’t just deal with flames, it seemed to have superpowers that gave flame buffs. Anyway, it turned off on its own after 30 minutes, so that’s good.
“Then get a good night’s sleep.”
“Yeah? It’s big?!”
Kicked between the jailer’s legs. He collapsed, biting into crab foam. He could have knocked him out with a slap, but he kindly kicked him between the legs, in case the guard would burn him.
Hehe. Then shall we go?”
“Hey! Free us too!”
“Huh?”
“It’s mean, just don’t go out!”
“Release this!”
As he tried to get out, the prisoners in other prisons began clamoring for them to be freed too.
“What do you guys say? You left the keys with me… Um. Isn’t it?”
I tried to ignore it and just leave, but soon changed my mind. If I escape alone, all the talented people here will focus on me.
But what if you go out with the prisoners here?
That much power will be dissipated.
‘Then I’ll be able to kidnap(?) And escape more easily, right?’
Having changed my mind, I looked around at the guards and said.
“Gentlemen. Are you ready to set out to find freedom?”
“Ooooo!”
“Of course! Please put this away quickly!”
“From now on, the answer will be ‘Evil!’! Gentlemen, are you ready to set off in search of freedom!”
“Don’t be silly, solve it quickly…”
Bang-!
“Kek?!”
“Did this bastard go crazy trying to search? What? Bullshit? And I told you to unify the answer to ‘evil!’?”
I kicked the prisoner who was shouting at me. I could kick it because it was so close to the iron bars. The guy fell backwards with the iron bars.
“…”
“…”
The prisoners who cheered me enthusiastically at that sight all fell silent. I looked around at them again and shouted.
“Gentlemen! Are you ready to set off to freedom!”
“Ah, ah…”
“…Is this correct?”
“Your voice is small! You don’t want to leave in search of freedom?!”
“…Ay shit! What does that matter! Aw! Aww! Aaaaa!
One astute prisoner shouted in anger. I noticed that the iron bars would not be opened until I heard the answer I wanted.
“Ah! Ah! Aaaaagh!”
“Evil!”
“Evil! Evil! Evil!”
“Hmm. Okay. Then let’s go guys! Find freedom! Freedom!”
“Aaaaagh!”
Prison is the evil of prisoners! Only sound rang out.
Satisfied with their hunger for freedom, I shouted at them.
“It’s bullshit.”
“Aaaaahhhhh? What?”
“Chuckling giggling! It’s a joke. Why am I freeing you guys? If you committed a crime, you idiots will pay the price. I’ll go out alone.”
“…”
Even if all the superpowers here attack, I have the confidence to break through and run away. So there was no reason to bother releasing the prisoners.
Leaving the prisoners in shock behind, they walked out of the prison with gunfire.
