Chapter 40 – Chapter 9. Back Alley.
“I have to wait one or three more days before I go.”
Jihyeok said that to his colleagues having an early dinner. He laughed, liking Gide chewing the boiled lamb. My dick was itching right now, but it was just fine.
Kayak asked why.
“I think I need to make some money.”
“Money? Did everything fall?”
“No. I have money, but I think I need to earn a little more. There’s not much else to make money here. But you can’t go to another city and receive requests every time. I have an urgent mission. Is not it?”
Everyone nodded their heads because they were right. Except Yayel.
She knew, of course, that the chief’s reason for making money was the cost of his medicine. She strangely felt uncomfortable in her seat, as if she were sitting on a cushion of thorns. She was even more miserable that she had no choice. Without the medicine, she was neither one nor the other.
“Can I help you with anything?”
“No, in the meantime, you guys should rest well and save your stamina. That’s enough.”
Jihyeok took out a leather pouch from his bosom and placed five gold coins in front of each of them.
“The cost of the last request. It’s up to each person, so take care of it.”
“It will work well, Captain.”
Hehe-.
Gide swept away all his money with a sarcastic grin, like a mercantile trader.
Yayel couldn’t bear to accept this. So she pushed her money to give it back, but Ji-hyeok blocked it with her hand in the middle.
“You need it too. Don’t be pressured, just use it.”
“Still…”
“That is that and this is this. What if you feel burdened by the part that I, the captain, have to handle, huh? Wouldn’t that be okay?”
“… Yes.”
“Take it. Write it succinctly It’s free time for the first time in a while. I’ve been through a lot during this time. If you’re afraid to go out alone, you can go out with Gorsh. … Are you okay, Gorsch?”
Gorsh nodded her head as if there was no problem. Yayel was heartbroken in her. I was very grateful for the care of the captain.
“Thank you.”
“That’s your share of hard work.”
Jihyeok smiled. Only then did Yayel pack the gold coins.
When the conversation was over, Jihyeok got up from his seat. Everyone looked up at him.
“I might come in late today, so don’t make trouble until then.”
“Yes, chief.”
Jihyeok lightly tapped the table with his fist and turned and left the building.
A reddish sunset was setting in the sky. Under the red clouds, unknown birds flew in a row. It was a beautiful evening scenery.
Jihyeok headed back to his back alley. He was determined to do it, so he had better act a day sooner rather than later.
He headed towards the alley where the bloodbath was. As night fell, the alleys were infested with janitors. At first glance, it seemed that they were not official members of the organization, but the thugs. They’re making pocket money in this way again.
They pointed daggers at Ji-hyeok, who was wandering around alone, and demanded money. Of course, he lightly knocked them down with his fist and walked past.
As we went deeper, the air became a bit more brutal. It was a momentum that was difficult to compare with the drug store. Because it’s a different purpose than there in the first place.
There were people who stopped him before he even reached the blood arena. There was one Orc and one Lizardman. Both of them were muscular, and they were quite large.
“Get off now, you bastard.”
“I have some business to do here.”
“It is the last warning. Go away.”
“I came because I had something to do at the blood arena. … Are you messing with guests? Cheeky bastards?”
Of course, it was not impossible to break through by force, but there was nothing good about messing with the organization. You should know how to open it. Like a horny female leg.
Since he mentioned the bloody field anyway, he definitely proved that he wasn’t a stranger. It was a problem for the members of the organization to touch customers who could make money, so they opened the way finely.
Jihyeok proudly entered the building. Of course, the blood arena was not on the ground. It was like a trick to the eye. The real one was in the basement.
He squeezed his way through the halls, between the bulky gangsters. Security was tight. Before Ji-hyeok went underground, he had to choose one of two things.
Get beaten up and go back, or pay the secret maintenance fee.
Of course, what kind of idiot would come all the way here and get beaten up and go back. Of course, you pay a secret maintenance fee to enter. In a word, it was the sound of paying the entrance fee. That was five gold coins. … That’s why there’s so much money in the treasure chest of the alleymaster.
Anyway, Jihyeok paid the amount and took the passage down to the basement. This time it was a wider aisle than a drug store. He even decorated them lavishly.
The smell of his blood lingered as he descended underground. He didn’t even have a bad temper. Jihyuk’s heart thumped. I remembered the old days. It was a strange excitement.
At the end of the aisle, there were other gang members. Of course, I only glared at her brutally and didn’t stop her.
A huge space opened up. It was a whole new world. Those expensive magic marbles were shining brightly as they were nailed to the ceiling. All kinds of races swarmed beneath it.
A brothel, a drug store, a bar, a bloodbath, it was literally a place where it was too easy to waste money. There were not a few of them who had already taken the medicine and slumped in a corner. Of course, those bastards were all bastards without money, and those who still had money went into brothels and fucked hard. Or getting stuck in a cock.
There were guys who were aiming for Jihyeok and approaching him. They were retailers who offered to sell drugs at a lower price. Of course, those were either very poor quality or fraudulent. Of course, there was nowhere to appeal even if you were scammed here. It was a place where only the victim was cursed more.
There were all kinds of races in the underground brothel. There were even fairies. She was already fed up with her pills and her eyes were completely tasteless.
Jihyeok had a destination, so he headed straight to the battlefield without needlessly snooping here and there.
The faint smell of blood intensified. Wow-. A maddening scream erupted. The audience was watching the bloody fight while intoxicated with the smell of blood. Some were fucking hard on whores. It was literally a place where there was no reason and only instinct ruled.
The onlookers were of all ages, races, and genders. Persons with a difficult status to be caught went into the VIP room and watched more privately. Of course they’ll be messing around in the room.
Aaaaa
An exclamation broke out. When a player died, onlookers became more enthusiastic. Murder happened like a meal. Occasionally, even if he was lucky enough not to die, it was common for his arms and legs to become crippled. They were sold to brothels. Then those who were once supporters went and excitedly trampled on the losers. After all, when you’re drunk, you can’t tell the difference between a man and a woman.
Jihyeok went to the spectator’s seat for a while. The bloody battle was really easy. I felt like I was back in the old days when I smelled this horrible blood.
… I was a crazy person back then too.
As an alley leader, he also occasionally played as a player. And right on the spot, the man killed and the woman violated. Onlookers went crazy for such a show.
After being soaked in old nostalgia for a while, I woke up again to find another dead man with his head twisted. … The floor of the blood arena was covered with blood and filth.
Aaaaa!!
Jihyeok raised his arms and saw the player roaring ferociously.
“The next contestant—!”
In any case, the contestants were forced to keep making it. Because of the drug money, there are already too many bastards who have become enslaved by the organization. So rather than a real participant, I was more like a scapegoat.
Jihyeok looked at the prize plate. He said the prize money went up every time a player won. Each plate was fifty gold coins. In addition, the tips thrown by onlookers were different. So the players hired a separate tipper. It’s because players can’t pick up coins that have fallen on the floor of the blood arena.
Sometimes the tip was as much as the prize money. It was natural that the better the performance, the more tips. Because this is a kind of show.
Jihyeok stood up after watching another contestant die for the last time.
He headed to the counter in the corner of the arena. He asked the staff what was going on. There were a few big guys near the counter killing some guys who sometimes act like a gangster.
“I want to participate as a player.”
“Are you participating?”
The employee glanced up and down Jihyeok with a puzzled expression. It was the look in his eyes that said, “Are the human babies determined to die?”
But the staff had no obligation to stop it. There was no such acknowledgment. In the first place, seeking recognition here was like looking for a needle in the desert. It’s good if you don’t eat it.
Still, he had no participation fee here. They come to die on their own, but I can’t participate if I can’t participate because of money.
No personal information was ever asked. It might have been better not to know about it. That way, you’ll have an excuse later to say you didn’t know.
“Go over there.”
He took Ji-hyeok somewhere. It was a waiting room where participants gathered. The number was quite large. There were quite a few puppies among the dogs who were still roaming around with the drug.
Soon the door to the blood arena creaked open. The organizers searched for the next challenger. If it wasn’t there, someone would take it by force.
“Next. … Doesn’t exist?”
At that time, Jihyeok volunteered. He usually seldom volunteers. Even if you die, try to die as late as possible.
“Get out, quickly.”
The organizer pointed behind him with his thumb. Jihyeok, expressionless, strode towards the passage leading to the blood arena.
Aaaaa.
Onlookers cheered deafeningly for the next victim. Some cubs were already throwing coins.
Kill it, kill that bastard!
An orc one head taller than Jihyeok approached him panting heavily. His body was already covered in blood.
He glanced at the amount written on the prize plate. The current accumulated money is two hundred gold coins. This meant that he had taken care of four people by himself.
At first glance, he was a fool who couldn’t even use mana properly. It seems that he somehow managed to deal with the drug addicts with his innate strength, but unfortunately, an opponent that he could not defeat appeared.
Of course, he didn’t even know that, and he must have liked it in his heart that a weak human came out.
Kuwoaaaaa!!
It roared and then approached Jihyeok and threw himself at him as if to attack him. Jihyeok clenched his fists. He intends to kill him in one hit.
The orc swung both arms. Jihyeok quickly stepped back and dodged. Then he hit his step foot and swung his fist hard. His fist was firmly planted in the orc’s head.
With a popping sound, the orc’s head shattered. His body, missing his head, tumbled sideways. Blood and brains spilled onto the floor. Jihyeok looked down coldly at the dead man and brushed off his bloody hands.
Soon, mad cheers erupted.
Aaaaa!!!
Coins rained down like rain. Jihyeok gave the hunchback tipster a glance at him to pick up the money. The hunchback crawled across the floor as if waiting and picked up the blood and filth-stained money.
The prize board was updated soon. Fifty gold coins were accumulated by Jihyeok. Of course, there will be a lot of money taken away from there again for this and that, but if you win all five rounds, there will be a lot of money left over.
… Did you do what you were supposed to do in the first place?
The taste of blood and the taste of money made my body warm up again. It felt like the desires I had been refraining from so far were crawling out from deep inside.
“The next contestant aaaaa!!”
The next participant entered the blood arena without a chance to catch his breath. It was an orc this time too. Perhaps because he thought he was an easy-going human, the opponent’s momentum was unusually intriguing.
Jihyeok rushed at the opponent like lightning. Ah. Before the orc recognized it properly, his fists had already shattered its head.
This time there was a longer silence than before. And then, like a burst of water, a scream erupted.
“Lee Sea Baaaaa Aala.”
“Bog, it’s hot hot ㅡ ㅡ ㅡ !!!”
“Kill them all!”
Coins rained down. The hunchback ran like crazy to pick up a fallen coin. There were also some gold coins there. It was proof that the onlookers were excited.
The next participant also died with his head broken by Ji-hyeok’s punch. The tip fell again. The tip pocket is already full.
Jihyeok smiled brightly and wiped the blood from his cheeks with his thumb.
Oddly enough, it was enjoyable.
