Chapter 447 – 447. Groundwork 2
After watching Seomyeon for two hours, I only got one thing.
The fact that there is nothing to save.
It’s a fairly quiet place. There is no movement or anything unusual.
It seems like these guys still don’t know what happened to the guys who went to Namyangju.
If I had known, there would have been some kind of uproar. No… Even if it existed, you wouldn’t know it from the outside.
I was thinking of using Phase Out to go in, but I’m quite reluctant.
Inside is the king of the Yakuza. There is Hidemori Sato. And even his gang.
Those who use phase out and skill unusable zone.
Ah. I really hate it the most. Of all the skills, I hate those two skills the most.
It’s not something I would say, since I’m perfect at using Phase Out.
To put it bluntly, there is nothing Sato can do if he stays still in the skill-use zone.
I have no choice but to wait to starve to death. But since I have subordinates, it won’t be easy either.
Do you trust air rifles? But even that is not a panacea.
If I rush in wearing something like bulletproof vest, I will end up getting hit.
I don’t know if you can get a headshot by just aiming for the head that doesn’t have body armor… Will that work?
In the end, it’s a place I can’t enter.
If I go in and get discovered, and the entire building is blocked from using skills, I will be trapped and hunted.
It’s terrible. I don’t really want to do that.
One such experience is enough. Besides, they know my abilities, so they can’t let down their guard. If something happens, I’ll crush it right away.
We need a way to make them pop out.
What is there?
There is no way to do anything with skills. Because the zone where a skill cannot be used is a skill like that.
You have to think about things other than skills. Umm…
Should I just set it on fire? It won’t be easy, right?
We have all the firefighting facilities, so we won’t let it burn.
Pouring it with seawater?
But I don’t think that has much effect. It may be annoying, but it has no lethal power.
Ah. Infectious diseases received from Minhee. Should I release this thing, which looks like a water tank?
But where is the water tank? Do you want to be on the rooftop? No. There is water weight, but is it underground? Whatever it is, I have to ask Minhee about this.
I don’t know if it will work. But anyway, if you use the disease removal, it has no effect, right?
Although they may die due to delayed treatment, it will not be easy to kill the upper-class people from disease.
Umm… So it has no meaning. But keep this for now.
The best thing is to pit groups against each other and get caught in the middle and hit them in the back.
These guys are already the losers of Busan. There won’t be anyone around here strong enough to attack these guys.
It would be best if Lete and Sato would fight each other.
That won’t work, right? It won’t be easy. This is not something that can be said to take effort.
External forces. A force that can be compared to that of Lete.
Isn’t there anyone among the absolute powerhouses in Japan who has a grudge against Sato?
It would be nice to have it. But it’s not a good idea to bring in outsiders.
It would be harder than having Lete and Sato fight each other. It’s not easy to realize. This also passes.
For a moment… Hey? A force that can compete with Leter.
That’s a guy I know too. Besides, it’s in the country.
Minjun Seo. Okay. The guy who is now the president of SG.
Moreover, there is a reason. This time, I read it from the vice master’s memory. That should be enough.
If you have a good idea, you should do it right away.
First, go back to the bunker.
I said I’d be back in two hours, so I’ll have to go to the bunker first.
“You came!?”
When I go to the bunker and go out, Se-Ah comes right up to me.
“130,000 coins came out in two hours.”
“Were you counting that?”
“What do you count? Just subtract the coins from two hours ago from the coins you have now.”
“Ah. I see.”
“Are you stupid?”
“Ugh. I can’t believe I’m being called a fool by my brother! My pride is hurt!”
“Why does that hurt my pride? You’re a little weird.”
“Ugh. To hear my brother say something strange! It hurts my pride!”
“Ugh. That’s it. Anyway. You should at least become skilled in taming. If you get 130,000 in two hours, it would be better to become skilled in taming first.”
“But then what about that crow?”
“Hmm… Will my relationship with you get better if I tame it once?”
“Well, I’m not sure about that.”
“Well, take care of it. You can catch crows anywhere anyway. If you just tame something else here, those crows will be tamed on their own, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then do whatever you want.”
“Hmm. Okay.”
The party started right away. Se-Ah went to practice timing and I told the girls I was going out again and headed to Cheongju this time.
SG Center.
Clearly, the number of people has decreased.
I’m not sure if the effect of catching and killing it is only coming out now, or if it’s because there’s a rumor going around that you’ll die if you come.
But. Rumors can’t help but spread. Because daily necessities are not more important than life.
If you feel uncomfortable, it would be right to save yourself.
Seo Min-Jun said that he is always there at this time, so he uses Phase Out right away.
As expected, this guy is there.
Will you turn your head now? That bastard always knows when I’m coming like a ghost.
“You’re here.”
Look. That bastard. Look at that smile. Why does that guy laugh at the man? That is a very dangerous bastard.
“Smile a little. Why are you smiling? Is the world fun?”
“It’s because I’m glad to see you.”
“Oh, fuck. Don’t do that. If you were a woman, I think you would go crazy if you heard a man say that.”
“If you get that kind of reaction, you can’t help but do it.”
“Crazy guy. Just leaving?”
“Didn’t you come because you had something to do with me? If you just leave, you’ll be the one regretting it, right?”
You sneaky bastard. A quick-witted bastard. Anyway, that bastard will live a long time.
“Hey. Do you know Jo Jae-jin? Jo Jae-jin from Lethe.”
“Are you Jo Jae-jin?”
The eyebrows of the guy who asks that question are frowned.
How can you make such a blatant expression of dislike? It’s unexpected.
“When I read that bastard’s memories, you came up too. Don’t we know each other?”
“As for my acquaintance… I don’t want to get involved with that kind of trash. But… Reading memories? What do you mean?”
“There is such a thing. Anyway, Jo Jae-jin is dead.”
“It’s none of my business if he dies. Please tell me how to read his memories or something.”
“Are you curious?”
“Of course. It seems like an unusual skill.”
“Then please do me one favor.”
“Ha. Do you want me to ask you again?”
“You don’t like it?”
The expression on his face looking at me is a bit sad.
Funny guy. That must all be acting. That kid is always like that. There is too much emotion.
“Tell me. I’m going to do it anyway.”
“Yes. I like the attitude of accepting it right away. It’s not like you’re losing money either. It’s all a deal. I’m saying they’ll compensate for that?”
“You. No matter how I look at it, you sound like a fraudster.”
“Is that so? But you haven’t suffered any losses so far, have you?”
Okay. This is why I can talk to that guy.
A relationship of definite give and take. I use him unilaterally, but he gets a lot of beans.
So, a relationship is established. A thorough business mindset.
“But scammers usually lure you in by giving small benefits like this, and then make a big deal at the end, right?”
“Ah. That’s right. That guy talks a lot.”
“Ugh. Talk to me. I’m listening.”
It’s a funny conversation. When I talk to that guy, I always talk like I’m a man.
Maybe I have a bit of a complex? I feel like I’m pretending to be strong when I’m no better than that guy other than my skills.
“Isn’t the chairman of SG Group, who also swallowed up Daeho Group, interested in Lete?”
“Lete. There’s not much to eat there.”
“Not there? Why?”
“Because. It’s a place that focuses on trade and transactions. Even if you get there, you don’t get their customers. That’s why Lethe has survived until now.”
“Is that so? From what I heard, Toune said he could be eaten at any time?”
“It wouldn’t have been that easy. But it would have been easier than Daeho. I didn’t do it because there was nothing to gain from putting in that much effort.”
“Hmm. Really? Then there’s no point in talking. Tsk.”
“But why suddenly Lete?”
Seo Min-jun’s words left me speechless for a moment.
Okay. Actually, there is no reason to kill Lethe. It’s just that they caught Go Young-jun and caught him, so they caught him too.
Of course, since they are a threat, it is true that they must be caught and killed at some point… There is no clear reason.
Hmm… What should I answer? I have nothing to say.
“It’s annoying.”
“Are you just going to kill everyone who offends you?”
“It’s my heart.”
“Wow.”
“If you sigh one more time, I’ll rip your mouth off.”
“Don’t say something like that when you can’t even tear it. In any case, I won’t sigh if it bothers you.”
That bastard didn’t even say a word about it. And then I do everything I’m told.
The guy seems to be thinking for a moment.
I looked at him silently. When he makes eye contact with me, he winks.
“Aren’t you crazy?”
“I find your reaction so amusing that I have no choice but to continue.”
“You’re crazy. You are.”
“Well, let’s do it. Lete.”
“Huh? What?”
“Isn’t this the end of Lethe?”
“That’s right.”
“Let’s do that.”
“Huh? Why?”
“No. You said you would do it. Why are you asking me that?”
“They said there wasn’t much benefit. But why all of a sudden?”
“I too… There were people I had trouble dealing with. I guess I can use this opportunity to deal with them as well.”
“Someone difficult to deal with?”
“Yes.”
“Who is it?”
“Are you curious?”
And the guy grins. And. Young. He quietly takes things at his own pace. You sneaky bastard. Ugh. Please pass on.
“Uh.”
“Then, if you listen to everything, you will tell me the corresponding information, right?”
“Then.”
“What do you think? Isn’t that too simple of an answer?”
“I told you. It’s worth the price.”
“Ugh. It’s not fun. Furthermore, it’s not fun if you accept it so quickly.”
“What are you talking about? What are you planning to do?”
“No. Uhm. There are some people who are difficult to deal with. People belonging to my father and brother. People who came over from Daeho. People who secretly argue with me.”
“Why didn’t you kill them all and still hold them in your arms?”
“Ha. Ah. I told you not to sigh. I’m sorry. It’s a question that inevitably makes you sigh.”
“It seems like you’re secretly picking on me.”
“Nothing will happen if you kill people without justification just because you don’t like them. I am a leader, not a butcher.”
The guy’s words. That is correct.
Okay. Justification. It’s very important. The most important thing when doing something. This is especially important if you lead a large organization like that guy.
It’s quite annoying and cumbersome, but it’s absolutely necessary. Without that, no matter how advantageous it is, things often go wrong.
“Then is there a justification for hitting Lethe?”
“We have to make that now.”
“Thank goodness. I can provide that justification.”
“Yes?”
“Lete brought in a man called the king of the Yakuza, one of the men who are said to be the absolute strongest in Japan, to Korea. And the reason for that is to attack you.”
That’s what I read from the memories of that Yakuza boss.
The reason why so many of them came to Korea on a cruise ship.
I didn’t come to Korea simply to have a drug orgy or sex party. It’s just an appetizer. That was the real purpose.
“Japan… Is an absolute powerhouse. I’ve heard of it. That’s why Lete brought them in.”
“Uh, that guy called the king of the Yakuza. His name is Hidemori Sato. I found out this information by pestering that guy’s assistant leader. So, it’s accurate information.”
“That information. Is there more?”
“Yes.”
I told him everything about the hotel and the cruise. Additionally, the effect of memory reading skills.
A guy who listens to my story with interest. His eyes are sparkling, like a child listening to a heroic story.
“Wow… Really. I don’t think I’ll ever be bored if I get to know you.”
“Is this enough?”
“Of course. It can be done. If you have this much material, storytelling is possible.”
“You seem like you’re having fun?”
“Isn’t it obvious? How can you not be entertained when you hear something like this?”
“So. When will it be okay?”
“First of all, would you like to come back at this time tomorrow?”
“Tomorrow? So soon?”
“This is not a matter that should be delayed.”
“Well, the sooner it’s better, the better. Oh, and.”
“Yes?”
“Think that everyone who goes there will die. Only send those who are willing to die.”
“Of course. I will. In fact, I am grateful. If only they all die.”
That bastard. That… I don’t know if it’s okay. No matter how much I think about it, I think I’ll get tired later if I leave that guy alive.
