“This is too bothersome. Come at once.”
They were arrogant words. Many of the people gathered were world-famous warriors.
Telling them to come out was attacking their pride, but:
-Oh ho! No one is coming out. Look at that.
As the host said, the dome was silent, as if succumbing to Chun Yeowun’s seemingly crazy attitude. The game of the entertainment game had been decided so the host nodded his head, looked at the observation room that was instructing him, and spoke again.
-Are the companions of Mr. Amuchai fine with the outcome?
There were two Thais and a few other Asians seated in the third row, and they were all members of the East Asia Union and masters of Kantar martial arts. The host was trying to instigate the anger of those who came along with Amuchai.
But it didn’t end there.
“Are the rest of the VIPs also yielding to vice-chairman Chun Mu-seong?”
At those words, the faces of the powerful men who couldn’t respond to Chun Yeowun’s words became distorted. Everyone saw what had happened. Amuchair, the strongest among them, had died in vain so it was obvious that they would be hesitant to come out.
‘Is that host… deliberately doing this?’
Even though he was the host, his behavior seemed a little strange. Yet, the provocations worked.
Crack!
Someone got up and kicked the ground. He was a young Thai about 190 cm tall and in his mid 30s.
“Stop it. Didn’t you see our master suffer?”
“I need to take revenge for him!”
“Ugh!”
The Kantar martial arts masters tried to stop Amuchai’s disciple but gave up knowing that he wouldn’t listen.
Pat!
“Konchosu!”
Konchosu moved towards the podium and tried to hit the back of Chun Yeowun’s exposed back.
‘Master’s enemy!’
Although he wanted to take revenge, he knew that this man was stronger than him, meaning he would have to strike him from the back.
‘Sea Splitting Technique!’
It was a technique that gathered energy at the feet and pushed it out, having enough power to split the sea.
“Die!”
Shh!
With Chun Yeowun’s back exposed, Konchosu’s form zoomed onto his target. However,
“Good. Perhaps I should get rid of the entire East Asia Union.”
‘!?’
Chun Yeowun leisurely turned around and moved to the side, using his hand to strike Konchosu’s chest.
Phat!
“Kuak!”
In response to the energy penetrating Konchosu’s body, he bounced back.
“Ack!”
“What?”
Three of the Thai warriors had to catch him before he hit something, and in doing so were pushed back very far.
“M-Move!”
Others moved, seeing that his companions were unable to stop his movement.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The seats made of marble were crushed and all three of the people who had tried to help the man were coughing up blood.
‘How can he unleash so much energy in such a brief moment? He must also be a Master.’
If it were a simple attack, they wouldn’t have suffered so much; the agents of the East Asia Union couldn’t hide their anger any longer and decided to fight one by one.
‘They lost a lot of power.’
The most important role in their current mission was played by Amuchai and the others who survived. However, losing them would mean failure of their mission. Seeing these people move of their own volition, Chun Yeowun considered them dumb.
‘Chun Mu-seong, you bastard!’
However, there was no one strong enough to face Chun Yeowun.
Watching the events unfold, the man in the mask gulped and said.
“I think we need to stop the game now. It’s becoming weird rather than exciting.”
-No, encourage them more! Didn’t he just say that he would deal with all of them at once?
Jay spoke these words, at which the masked man couldn’t hide his confusion. As a host, he had to make sure the auction progressed naturally, and causing such a fight would create a bad light for the MS Group.
“There could be opposition from VIPs…”
-It doesn’t matter. Follow the orders!
The host turned off the earphone and took a deep breath. The man speaking was one of the ten executives of MS Group, so he couldn’t speak back.
-Vice-chairman Chun Mu-seong made a great suggestion of having a one-against-all. How about it? We won’t have such a chance again.
Whisper!
At the host's words, the audience became utter chaos.
Everyone knew Chun Yeowun’s strength which made the VIPs puzzled at this battle being continued.
‘What will happen if I step out?’
Some people, like Jack Oren and Kohaku, had made up their minds to not participate. Not only did they judge that dealing with Chun Yeowun would be difficult, but the fact they had to team up with others and the ensuing shame were strikes to their prides.
However, not everyone made such a wise choice.
Unlike those who practiced martial arts, the people of foreign nations were confident that their techniques couldn’t be used by this man so a group of them appeared.
“We will participate.”
They were the warriors from Australia. All eight people standing next to each other had abilities equivalent to those of A-class keepers and the brown man between them was an S-class keeper.
They decided to take the chance.
‘What an idiot, trying to make an offer that puts himself at a disadvantage.’
They all laughed at Chun Yeowun. No matter how strong he was, if several talented people worked together, his defeat was inevitable. Out of confidence, they shouted at Chun Yeowun,
“You suggested this. No regrets if you end up dying.”
Tak!
The person who appeared to be the leader of this group snapped his finger to send a gesture to the host to start the game. At the signal, the people cheered again.
“Show us your martial arts!”
“Phew!”
-What an interesting group of challengers. These guests are guild members of the Black Roaring Guild, who came all the way from Australia with their guild leader Max.
As the purple-masked host raised his hand, the barrier went up once more.
Woong!
Max and the others waited for the barrier to form completely. They had been in the guild for a long time, so they had the time record of dealing with an S-class entity within 2 hours using their team work.
-Pick!
Once the barrier formed completely, Max raised his hand, and two of the in line with fighting abilities tried to use them on Chun Yeowun. It was then:
Kwajik!
‘!?’
No one understood what happened. Obviously, the people tried to close the gap the moment the barrier formed, but they seemed to have completely disappeared. The only trace of them left was the blood and flesh pieces on the ground they were just on.
‘H-huh?’
Chun Yeowun had his palm pressed down. Those who learned martial arts were shocked by what he had done.
‘He did that with his internal energy?’
It was an overwhelming energy that made others feel like they were being hit with a hammer.
The Australians who were trying to attack Chun Yeowun were instantly flattened to death. Chun Yeowun hadn’t thought of sparing anyone since this was a battle to the death.
“Mo… Monster….”
“He’s a monster.”
Everyone in the audience felt like their life was being sucked out as they stared at the hand that tore off Amuchai’s face and had the power to literally crush people to death.
This was no longer entertainment but a massacre caused by one man.
“Insane!”
Even the host was mesmerized. It was too shocking. Chun then Yeowun sliced the barrier with his sword.
Slash!
With two slashes, the barrier cracked, and an opening like a door’s entrance was created.
“T-the barrier broke?”
The host couldn’t hide his shock. The barrier which an A-class entity couldn’t destroy had been taken down. Chun Yeowun left the barrier and grabbed the Ryun/Wheel, which was hanging next to the host.
“Any more complaints?”
At Chun Yeowun’s words, the host nodded his head. Everyone just watched the scene without saying a word. No one objected to it.
-A-alright, let’s take a short break of 15 minutes.
The host decided that continuing the auction would be difficult with the current atmosphere. Meanwhile, in the observation room:
Jay’s face, which was staring through the window, was visibly pale.
“… Is he a monster?”
I, who was next to him, nodded. He too was equally shocked at this situation that went against their expectations.
“What are we going to do now?”
The entertainment game failed, and in the event of this occurring, the MS Groupwas ready to gather the stronger fighters to achieve their goals.
‘Before that…’
Chae Mun-tak looked at Jay, thinking of changing his orders.
He planned on dealing with Chun Yeowun and then using Jay as a scapegoat. Chae Mun-tak’s Odd Eye drifted.
‘That has to be dealt with first.’
Jay was startled and turned his head to the side. He, too, wasn’t an ordinary person. There was no way he couldn’t sense that subtle energy radiating from Chae Mun-tak.
Tatak!
Moving back, Jay asked.
“What are you trying to do?”
Chae Mun-tak wiggled his fingers and said.
“Since the leader already knows, shouldn’t someone just take the fall?”
“And you want that someone to be me?”
Chae Mun-tak’s fingers were dyed with a glowing red energy. Jay, who knew his abilities, stepped towards the ground.
“Where!”
Chae Mun-tak tried to catch Jay.
-Grrr!
“Euk!”
However, in an instant, the floor was pierced and Chae Mun-tak fell into the lower floor.
Jay had the ability to corrode everything he touched. Looking at the aftermath, he mumbled,
“I was almost done. I always knew that you would stab me in the back one day.”
Jay realized that he had to leave the scene right away. As he ran towards the entrance of the observation room, however, he heard a bang on the outside that kept getting closer.
'Is he coming up already?’
Bang!
“Kuak!”
The door next to the room shattered and someone’s head peeked out.
“Kuak!”
‘T-this person is?’
There was a man near the door who was bleeding – it was Chae Mun-tak’s escort, who was guarding the entrance of the room. Surprised, Jay took a step back and opened the door only to be greeted by someone unexpected.
He then realized who it was.
“Chun, Chun Mu-seong, vice-chairman?”
Chun Yeowun had appeared in the observation room. After the match, Jay thought Chun Yeowun had returned to his seat, but he was actually making his way to the observation room.
Chun Yeowun stretched out his hand to Jay, who was trying to run away.
Woong!
“Euk!”
His body was lifted up and dragged towards Chun Yeowun, who caught him by the neck.
“Kuak!”
“Baldy. Are you the one in charge of this place?”
‘!?’
Jay couldn’t hide his shock at these words. The guy in charge of this auction was happened to be on the floor below the room they were in.
