146 – All you need is a little money and a place to live tomorrow (8)
No word came back from November. Perhaps thinking this was a tacit affirmation, Libra turned around and went back to her desk. The hand that looked there for a moment was soon holding a test tube containing some kind of liquid.
“This is a stronger drug than the one you used.”
Inside the test tube was a golden liquid that looked dangerous. The liquid, which emits light like a luminous substance, was to the point where one wondered whether it was really okay to inject it into the human body.
“If you want, I’ll give it to you. Of course, it’s not free. I am a merchant. “I don’t do business at a loss.”
The liquid in the test tube fluttered right in front of November’s eyes. November was staring at the liquid shaking like a pendulum, unable to take her eyes off it, as if under hypnosis.
“This is not a story about betraying the Argo Family or giving away information about the organization.”
Even as Libra began making her proposal in earnest, November remained silent.
“Why are you doing this, brother? Deny it quickly! “I’m telling you to deny it and throw away that medicine…!”
Jason watched the scene with anxiety. If I had the will, I would have wanted to run out right away, grab his third brother, and run away, but I couldn’t.
He did not have the confidence to explain well why he was in this position. I already lost a lot of his credibility because of the last incident.
A clear act of betrayal by leaking information to Watcher. Normally, he would have been punished immediately, but it would have been nothing to say.
The reason he is alive now is only because of the warmth of his eldest brother and leader, September.
Rather than following him, most of the gang members ignore him and even taunt him, asking why he didn’t kill him. In the midst of all this, you get caught at Libra’s home base? She didn’t even want to imagine how much criticism she would receive.
Moreover, seeing as he introduced Libra as her doctor, Archer seems to have a close relationship with Libra… I had no idea how to explain this relationship.
“…Now that I think about it, aren’t I a traitor too?”
It was not a situation where someone was criticizing someone for betrayal.
“Hey comrade. “What are you so anxious about?”
“Well, I guess you’re on the verge of falling for that scoundrel’s suggestion… Of course I’m anxious.”
“Then you can step forward.”
The archer hit the nail on the head. If you feel anxious, just step forward. He just needs to convince his brother, who is swayed by evil, and return home.
“That’s… easier said than done.”
But Jason couldn’t easily erase his hesitation. November is quite moody. The moment he finds himself here, he will immediately misunderstand. Above all, they are quite stubborn and do not listen to what others say, so explaining them is even more difficult.
No matter how conflicting an organization may be, the fact that it is the organization you work for does not change. Jason didn’t want to give up the shelter he had earned.
“Really? A boring guy. “Live romantically.”
“I think so.”
“Oh? “What are you going to do?”
“Romantically….”
Jason opened his eyes and glared strongly at November.
“I just trust my brother!”
“In the end, it means doing nothing. I get it.”
The archer sighed and followed his opinion. He quietly killed the creature while observing the wound on Jason’s shoulder. If it were a normal high-level monster, the wound would have healed reasonably well by the time this amount of time had passed. But blood was still dripping from his shoulder.
‘It’s a weak body. ‘Pathetic comrade.’
Tsk, the archer clicked his tongue inwardly. There was no sign of the wound healing. In humans, a piercing wound to the shoulder is a serious injury. And Jason, too, must have been seriously injured. The archer was sure.
“I have to quickly play shobu with that golden pig…”
I felt so guilty because I accidentally hurt him. This would only be possible if the conversation between those two ends quickly.
Both Jason and Archer waited for November to open his mouth in a different way.
“…Now.”
November opened his mouth.
“What… Is this bullsh*t?”
“I believed it, damn it!!!!”
“Hey dude, shut up!”
It seemed like a strange sound came from behind, but November, whose head was bleeding, couldn’t hear it.
“Why the f*ck am I eating this? What are you misunderstanding, kid? There is one reason I came here. It was my brother’s homework. Is the powder empty? My brother must have at least checked to see if this medicine is poisonous. I don’t know about this, dude. “I fell asleep after criticizing you. I’m going to kill you!”
November was yelling and pointing his finger.
“I was wondering what kind of idiotic nonsense you were talking about… The idiot turned into a night-baby! “Did you fry your brain in a bucket of sh*t? What kind of bullsh*t are you talking about?!”
The tone of speech was comical, but the anger contained within it was by no means light. November was sincere.
November has never used this drug. During training, he got bored when Jason misused his powers and left. Was it because the training was so frustrating? Today I finished my training and tried to focus on remembrance.
As part of this, when I tried to go to the room where the money bag was to burn it, I was caught by my brother and asked to dispose of this drug. Go to Libra and ask her.
When I heard that the powder had decreased, my brain stopped and I was speechless, but after thinking about it, it wasn’t that strange.
When I thought that I had verified what this powder was, it all made sense. If the contents of this powder were something like poison rather than a drug, it would not be surprising if an all-out war broke out.
But since nothing was said, it must have been a drug as described, not poison. Just looking at Libra’s reaction right now, it’s the same.
However, when Libra saw November, who was still examining the situation, and said that since he had used this drug, they would now give him a stronger drug, he was just dumbfounded.
“Why do I use drugs like that?! You look so f*cking anxious. “Isn’t the guy who used that cracked his head?”
That was correct. Why would I trust it and use drugs given to me by the enemy? I knew it would have some effect.
In her tunnel vision, Libra overlooked one fact. Not all monsters are loyal to their target. If it is a side goal that is not related to your dream, you do not hesitate to bury it.
I guess revenge wasn’t such a great goal for November. Libra laughed helplessly.
“Huh….”
I thought I would definitely be caught if I showed such strong hostility.
“As I said before, it is a gift from me. A sign of friendship given to those who share the same enemy. As far as I know, I heard that your force itself is nothing special. Do you really think you can defeat the Watcher who has awakened Ursa Major? If you’re truly anxious, it’s okay to experiment on your subordinates. “It is a precious medicine that is not easy to obtain by paying tens of millions of dollars.”
But Libra did not give up and continued to persuade.
“Are you my alpha? It will work out somehow! I would probably live longer than that guy, who is basically a human anyway. If I die from natural causes, isn’t it my victory? The gentleman’s revenge lasted ten years…What was it? Anyway, I will get revenge, but it’s not that urgent!”
November didn’t know that Han Jaejoong was terminally ill, but he just assumed that. His grief over losing his brother was much stronger than his desire for revenge. All his hatred and hostility came from that sadness.
And what was greater than that sadness was none other than the desire for a dream.
A challenge to the three beasts that we swore when we first became brothers.
When Libra came to the Argo family in November, she was filled with anger and behaved rudely. When she was scolded by September for this, she was able to get back into her mind by November.
That was the reason for reducing the memorial process and increasing the proportion of training. He developed his military power not for revenge but for challenge.
“Anyway, we don’t need drugs like this! My brother tells me that he wants me to return the cost of these drugs in alcohol money. Also, he says that we will talk about the price of taking this kind of medicine without saying anything, slowly next time. Now, the end of the story. “I have nothing to say anymore, so I’m leaving.”
November turned around after conveying the story one-sidedly.
“Huh….”
Libra sighed and touched her forehead. I can’t believe things happen like this. It was really sad.
“I got to use my hands again.”
Cheolkeong. The scale on his shoulder tilted. A few gold coins were placed on the left scale, and a chain was placed on the other side. The chains were as faint as a hologram. When the two scales were perfectly parallel, the gold coins and chains vaporized and disappeared along with the golden starlight.
“The deal is done here.”
The missing chains were spread around November and bound him. He was not able to break free even with the mighty strength of a monster, as it was an ordinary chain.
“…?! “What are you doing!”
“It’s really unfortunate. “I was hoping your will would be involved.”
Libra took out a syringe from her arms. He slowly poured the liquid from the test tube he was holding into the syringe.
Of course, we also calculated cases where drugs were not taken. The moment any member of his organization came to this laboratory, it was over. It didn’t matter if I wasn’t an executive, but an executive came to visit me. It was a happy thing.
This time, we will be able to obtain proper data on the improved drug.
“The sad sacrifice has been repeated again. Too bad. “It’s really sad.”
“What the f*ck is that…?”
“Tongue, brother!”
Jason reflexively jumped forward. Despite his serious injuries, he quickly ran over and tried to free his chains.
“Bae, you traitor! Why are you here…!”
“That’s not the point! Release it quickly! “Wait!”
I groaned and tried to loosen the chain, but it didn’t budge. Jason, who had lost his stamina due to the wound on his shoulder, was not able to solve it.
“You… What’s with that sore shoulder? Who the f*ck did it! “Only we can take down that traitorous bastard, but f*ck!!!”
“Wow… This is such a strong brotherly love.”
Libra leisurely filled the syringe. The carefully tilted test tube ran out, and instead the syringe became full.
“I will not forget your sacrifice.”
Jeobbuk. The sound of quiet footsteps echoed throughout the vast cavity.
“Hey, you bastard! Run away! “Leave this to Brother Lee!”
“Can you do that? Wait. I will soon… Ah!”
Jason released his hands from his chains and took a few steps back. He then placed his hand on his belt.
“Ability… If this ability is…!”
The ability to get lost.
It is a great ability to escape. It is time to reveal the results of your training.
However, just like the name of that power, it prevents us from going on the right path. It was still like that now. Its power was at its weakest when it could be used in the most correct way.
Jason himself had a hard time manifesting himself as his stamina and starlight were all depleted. No matter how much I rowed the belt, my abilities did not manifest.
“Oh my… sh*t… sh*t…!”
“Are you telling me to run away?”
“Comrade, get out of the way!”
At that time, an archer’s cry was heard from behind. Jason reflexively got out of the way. Even so, he did not take his hands off the belt.
He was an archer who didn’t particularly have feelings for November, but he did have a connection with his comrade. His arrow passed right through the link of the chain. This was enough. The chains binding November were loosened.
“You traitor!”
Also, Libra has also gained sufficient distance. To put her syringe.
“It’s late.”
Kwasik! His syringe pierced November’s back, and November pushed Jason’s body away from him.
It emits a strong light like the burning starlight of November.
Jason’s ability has been activated.
He was lost.
