Chapter 101 – Revenge (1)
The office of the Black Dragon’s Room boasted a plain appearance as any guild office. The sight of reporters camped out in front made me think of an entertainment agency. Seong Ha-yeon smoked a cigarette in the smoking room in front of her office and looked at the reporter pointing the camera at her.
“What?”
The reporter asked without a hint of surprise at her reply.
“Hello. This is reporter Joo Young-hyun of [Daily Special Report]. This time, the guild master, ‘Facheonwang’ Choi Soon-hong, committed a terrible crime of murdering D-class awakened people. May I ask what you think about this?”
Seong Ha-yeon glared at her reporter while biting on her cigarette. The reporter met Seong Ha-yeon’s gaze and flinched at her, but she still held the camera at her. Tilting her head, she grabbed the front of her camera and spat her cigarette into the ashtray. The reporter looked at the ashtray, and the moment she turned her head again, her camera started to freeze. She shook her camera away in a chill as she saw the ice clinging to her lens at a very slow pace.
“What, what are you doing?”
“What?”
“The camera is broken!”
“Okay? Then go and fix it.”
Seong Ha-yeon said that and she went into the office. The reporter let out a sigh of relief when she realized that only her camera lens had ice on it. They said her personality was fiery compared to her ice abilities, and she wasn’t lying when she said that.
“…Lol.”
The camera was constantly rolling, and thanks to this, she was able to get a sense of the article, ‘A guild member who avoided criticism of the Black Dragon Ark by using her abilities.’ The number 1 click in the newspaper today will be his article. The reporter sat on a bench in her smoking room and laughed.
“Can you get out of the way?”
The reporter’s smiling face hardened. It was because I felt the shadow of a person behind the bench. She stopped her hands from cleaning the camera and hardened her face. There was an uneasy feeling about her life. Her fears were carried down her own spine.
“You must be a reporter.”
The reporter knew this voice. She was the voice of the Black Dragon Ark, which appeared occasionally in cultural programs and documentary programs. His voice was immediately recognizable because he used a very noble and soft tone unlike his rough impression. Even if he became a killer who kills D-class hunters, his way of talking was still the same.
“Ah, ah… !”
After the disappearance of the Black Dragon’s Ark, the Black Dragon’s Room was the main target of surveillance by the police and hunters. The fact that he appeared now must have been known to the police, and it was clear that S-class hunters would come to rescue him in a little while.
So I had to take my time. The reporter forced a smile and said.
“Sah, live…”
But before he could part his lips, a black fog washed over him like a surging wave. The black dragon ark squeezed the reporter’s head and fell into his thoughts. Reporters were also the ones who drove him to die.
“Huh? Uh?”
The panicked reporter tried to scream. But soon his head was spinning and his strength drained away. His fingertips were dry. His forearms were thinning as needles. His fingertips had faded to the point of crumbling. His fingernails and hair fell out, and his eyes went blind. He didn’t even have time to think about the pain, and he was dried up like a cuttlefish and turned to powder.
The Black Dragon Ark kicked and scattered the pile of corpses, then rushed into the Black Dragon Room. The black hallway was still there. As for the Black Dragon Ark, the fact that she was back here felt unfamiliar.
Hearing the sound of someone walking down the hallway, Choi Soon-hong hurriedly hid himself. He was a criminal who crossed the line, but even so, he did not want to kill the members of the Black Dragon Room guild. He intended to find only Jung Soo-hyeon and absorb his powers as soon as possible. The information that Jeong Su-hyeon was in the Black Dragon Room was obtained through a newspaper article.
It moved silently along with the fog in the corridors where people came and went, and dug through the cracks in the building at a speed that made it impossible to feel their presence even at close range. However, Choi Soon-hong had no choice but to stop when he saw Seong Ha-yeon holding on to the documents. Seong Ha-yeon was from Heilang. At her middle school graduation ceremony, she personally delivered a bouquet of flowers, and Seong Ha-yeon, who had awakened, carried Choi Soon-hong once.
She wanted to talk, but she knew she couldn’t. Choi Sun-Hong shook her head and started searching her room again, looking for Jeong Su-Hyun’s energy.
“What?”
And when she arrived in front of the sleeping quarters on the top floor of the Black Dragon Room, Jung Soo-hyeon grabbed the doorknob and Choi Soon-hong, who was wearing a black mist, faced each other. Soonhong Choi’s face twisted, and she grabbed Jeongsuhyun by the collar and threw it toward her bed.
“Oops!”
She had no time to rebel against Jeong Su-hyeon. He landed powerlessly on the bed, like a dog throwing a toy he was attached to. Choi Sun-hong shook off his fog and appeared in front of Jung Soo-hyeon and said,
“Give me my Almighty!”
“Bar, the ark!”
Jeong Su-hyeon tried to say something, but Choi Sun-hong did not want to listen to him. It was because she felt that if she heard the story, her heart would be shaken. Jeong Su-hyeon was a great newcomer, and a child with good character enough to volunteer. Besides, he was a kid who also maintained a good relationship with the guild members of the Black Dragon Room.
So, Choi Sun-hong was reluctant to kill Jeong Su-hyeon. However, she could only eat the omnipotent sacrifice if Jung Soo-hyeon died. It was because there was no success story of separating the fragments of the omnipotence agent while she was alive. So Choi Soon-hong gritted his teeth.
It was not a dream to become an S-class in an instant with the power of the Almighty. Jeong Su-hyeon tried to swing his fist at Choi Soon-hong, but it hit him in the stomach and was pushed behind him as a fist. Feeling the pain as if hitting an iron plate, Jung Soo-hyeon shrank.
Choi Soon-Hong grabbed Jeong Su-Hyeon’s hair. Jeong Su-hyeon twisted his face painfully.
Bang!
There was the sound of a wall cracking. A red trail flew towards the body of Soonhong Choi, who reflexively looked back. However, as soon as it touched Choi Soon-hong’s body, it scattered with a rupture sound as if it had touched a solid iron wall. Only the hem of his clothes was slightly torn, and there were no wounds on Choi Soon-hong’s body. From a gap in the wall, Ichie looked at Choi Sunhong with a puzzled face.
“You…”
Choi Sun-hong also recognized Ichie.
“Ark!”
Then, as if he had been waiting, Lee Jun-hyeok kicked in the door and came out. He tossed off his toupee and, with the strength of his fingertips, raised his brain sword. Junhyeok Lee shouted through the gap of blue sparks.
“Ark! It’s not too late! Turn yourself in!”
“This, Lee Jun-hyuk… Boo, apparently going on a business trip for a while…”
It was a fact I saw in a news article. Jeong Su-hyeon was in the Black Dragon room, and Lee Jun-hyeok, the sub guild master, said he was going on a business trip with a gate gun. Lee Jun-hyeok said to the embarrassed Ark.
“S-class hunters will come now. Stop it. Yes? It’s not too late. Ark!”
It was full of gaps. Lee Jun-hyeok stood in a posture full of gaps, as if he had forgotten what Choi Soon-hong had taught him. If you hit one spot right now, Lee Jun-hyeok won’t be able to stop it. However, Choi Soon-hong could not hit Lee Jun-hyeok.
He just gritted his teeth, looked around with a confused expression, and swung his fist at the wall on the top floor.
“Aaaaa!”
With a scream of pain, the walls shattered like a bomb exploded. And, in contrast to when it came in, the black meteor with destructive and terrifying speed crashed into the middle of the city. No one could follow the Black Dragon Ark.
In the middle of the smashed asphalt, the black dragon ark looked at the black dragon room once again. The guild members who came up late stopped Lee Jun-hyeok from jumping together.
“Be patient! Then it’s a big deal!”
“Let go! Guys! We must bring our ark! Let go!”
“You know where to go! Then it’s going to be a big deal!”
Choi Soon-hong knew. As long as there are members of the Black Dragon Room, he knows that he will never be able to absorb the Almighty. He said he couldn’t kill them, he couldn’t even fight them.
******
“I told you. I’ll take care of this guy first.”
The man continued talking without even looking at Soonhong Choi, who returned with a dejected expression. Every time he typed on the computer keyboard, articles and materials related to Kim Joo-sung flowed out. Choi Soon-Hong sat down on the sofa in the corner of the warehouse and sighed deeply.
“There was no tailing, right?”
Choi Soon-hong listened to the man and looked up at the ceiling. Light bulbs were twinkling in the thin ceiling. Choi Soon-Hong nodded his head.
“No.”
Even if he was S-class, it was difficult to pursue him as he determinedly ran away. The man touched the computer and said.
“Look at this rather than that. Hey, it’s Chunbae. You come here.”
Chunbae, who was eating chicken and playing games in the corner, came running. Choi Sun-hong asked his man.
“What is that?”
“I bought it as a package.”
Choi Sun-Hong nodded again and laid down on the sofa. He didn’t want to think about anything for a while. The man started talking to Chunbae. The other members also began to gather around the man and Chunbae.
“Kim Joo-seong said he had a lot to eat with this bastard..”
“Also… !”
“And, I got the recordings taken while training inside the academy? Take a look.”
Her man showed Kim Chun-bae another video. The Hunter of the Diamond Club was giving instructions to Chunbae and Juseong. As soon as he saw it, Kim Chun-bae shouted with an excited face.
“No, that’s right! It’s this chick! This bastard manipulated everything! You’re ordering us from here right now!”
She felt saliva splashing on her mask whenever Kim Chun-bae spoke. He calmly wiped off his mask and said.
“Okay. Okay. Calm down and start working tomorrow.”
Choi Soon-hong closed his eyes. The organization’s first goal. The revenge against Kim Joo-seong was beginning.
