The tip of the nose flinched at the disgusting smell.
Hundreds of bodies were scattered here and there on the road.
Around 53 warriors were breathing in a ragged way among the corpses. They were of those who swore allegiance to the Sky Demon Order.
Only 53 out of 187 were left.
‘What do we do?’
‘Kuak…’
Their expressions had a mix of despair and shame. If they hadn’t killed more than 40% by attacking first, the warriors of the Murim Association would have annihilated them.
Of course, they made great sacrifices too.
Beep!
The general manager of the Yongchun group, who was filming this, stopped the recording.
Since everything was recorded, it was now an inescapable situation.
‘Is this the birth of a new Cult?’
They would all have to change their clan names once they came under the Sky Demon Order.
For example, the Mokyang Sword clan would become the Mokyang Sword Cult.
Since all the executives of the Murim Association in Jinan city were eliminated, it would take time for proper registration.
“Haaa… Haaa…”
Gan-ong was also among the warriors who were breathing hard. His body was full of wounds.
‘Damn it…’
His expression was contorted, and the goggles he had on were cracking.
‘What a mess.’
The information display window floating on the goggles stated that the transmission had failed.
It was probably because the goggles broke when he was fighting with the people.
He tried to report what was happening, but it was ruined.
[Transmission rate 5%. Can’t send any more.]
With just 5%, it was impossible to know how much of the recording was transmitted.
‘It would be nice if at least the useful videos were transmitted.’
If not, then the team members’ sacrifices will be vain.
Gan-ong’s gaze turned to a few people.
Two men were standing there with weary faces like him. They were his team members.
In the end, only three people, including him, survived.
‘There are only three… whatever the outcome, we need to withdraw right away.’
Until yesterday, they were around 60 people in Jinan city.
Now he wasn’t sure if he was lucky or not to have survived.
Because of the monster in front of him, his organization collapsed twice.
‘He is completely insane.’
Gan-ong’s eyes turned somewhere else.
On one side of the road, there were dead bodies with ice swords stuck in them, the Gate Keepers’.
The monster showed no hesitation despite knowing they were under the National Defense Bureau.
Chun yeowun killed all the Gate Keepers by himself.
‘Monster.’
Gan-ong saw it.
It happened while the warriors were fighting among each other.
With one gesture, the floating Ice Swords floating fell on the Gate Keepers.
It was a slaughter.
He also saw something which made him curious.
‘Gravity Witch!’
He saw a woman in a white blouse and black skirt standing next to Chun Yeowun.
The SS-class Gate Keeper, Yu So-hwa.
The Gate Keepers rejoiced at her appearance and called her for help.
However, she didn’t help them.
It was a shocking sight to see.
‘How did he convince the Gravity Witch?’
The SS-class Gate Keeper was a powerhouse anyone would want to their side.
If she had joined the Yongchun Group, something must be up.
‘I need to report everything.’
There were too many things to report. The video transmission had failed, so he had to report it directly.
“Everyone focus.”
At that moment, the chairman of the Yongchun group, Chun Yu-jang, spoke loudly as if he was announcing something to the surviving warriors.
“We confirmed your loyalty, so we welcome you as members of our Cult.”
At Chun Yu-jang’s words, the warriors’ faces darkened.
Of course, they couldn’t be happy.
Ignoring their reaction, Chun Yu-jang continued to speak.
“Please listen carefully from now on.”
Chun Yu-jang explained how the bodies will be disposed of and what the surviving warriors will report to the National Defense Bureau.
Once the explanation was done, everyone started following the orders.
They started disposing of the bodies.
If it was done, the horrible day would end, and they would be able to return.
‘Just a little longer.’
Gan-ong and the other two members pretended to obey everything.
However, someone approached him.
“Follow me for a moment.”
It was director Huan Myung-oh, one of the executives of the Yongchun Group.
Gan-ong was perplexed.
He didn’t do anything suspicious, so he couldn’t figure out why he was being called.
He wasn’t the only one.
‘No…’
The other two members of his team were also called.
Gan-ong hastily thought of what they could do.
They would never make it out alive if they tried to escape.
And their opponent looked like a Superior Master.
‘Nothing can be done.’
He decided to follow him for now.
“Alright.”
Gan-ong tried to take off the goggles he was wearing. But Huan Myung-oh stopped him.
“Stop.”
“I-I was just taking off the goggles.”
“Don’t do anything and walk. You know what will happen if he thinks you’re doing anything suspicious.”
Pound! Pound!
Gan-ong’s heart pounded like crazy. He had to take off or break the goggles he was wearing right away.
But when Huan Myung-oh put his hand on his sword, he decided not to rash.
‘Damn it!’
It would be nice if he could just remove the goggles.
Once they were destroyed, he could just commit suicide.
‘I should have left the goggles in the car…’
He even thought of breaking down the phone in his hand.
It was right then.
Drrrr! Drrrr!
‘Ugh?’
The cell phone in his hand vibrated.
Gan-ong went bewildered.
Huan Myung-oh put the sword on his neck and said.
“Don’t move.”
He was cornered.
Huan Myung-oh quickly pulled out the cellphone.
The recipient’s number was missing.
“Old one? Tch! “
Huan Myung-oh was annoyed.
There was a USB-H type tracking device. However, it couldn’t connect to the old model phone of Gan-ong.
“For now… tell them there is no problem.”
Click!
Huan Myung-oh, who received the call, put it near Gan-ong’s ear.
One nonsensical word, and he was ready to kill the man right away.
‘Sigh.’
Gan-ong caught his breath and looked at Huan Myung-oh.
He thought that it was a good thing that he was given permission to answer the phone.
As spies, they had manual phones to work with.
And when he answered, the first thing he said.
“It’s me.”
‘It’s me’ meant that the enemy had taken the phone.
And the other side will cut off the contact. Gan-ong spoke according to the manual.
However, Gan-ong put on a puzzled expression at the voice’s response.
Huan Myung-oh frowned.
“Don’t be foolish.”
Gan-ong shook his head.
“… he, he is asking to change this.”
“What?”
“He wants to speak to your higher-ups.”
Gan-ong looked at Chun Yeowun, who was standing a little distance away.
Huan Myung-oh
“Fine.”
Chun Yeowun looked at the phone that Huan Myung-oh had brought to him.
In front of him now, gan-ong and two others were kneeling.
Chun Yeowun became aware of the existence of spies among the warriors who swore allegiance to him.
Because of how well trained he was, he was able to understand the energies of those who were in Jinan city hall.
That’s how he discovered the spies who were moving around, all thanks to that weapon.
“Ultra Vibrating Sword.”
It was the black Ultra vibrating sword that uncovered the spies’ identities.
They didn’t use it right away, but when the crisis came, they ended up taking it out for a short period of time.
And Chun Yeowun didn’t miss that.
So before trying to catch them and kill them, he wanted to investigate them further by freezing their bodies.
‘Pretty bold.’
He didn’t expect that their superior would try to contact him first.
Chun Yeowun took the old cell phone.
“Go on.”
-Indeed, you are strong. Thanks for taking the call.
An altered voice.
Chun Yeowun clicked his tongue.
“Tch, sneaky bastard. Trying to hide your voice.”
-Well, we have secrets to keep. Huhu.
Perhaps it was because of the anonymity, the caller had a relaxed attitude.
“You don’t care if your subordinates die.”
It was like the voice didn’t care what happened to them.
At Chun Yeowun’s gesture, the arm joints of the three spies were broken.
Crack!
“Kuak!”
“Ughh!”
Screams erupted from their mouths.
The voice on the other side could hear it.
-Huhu, you are an interesting person. You know that threats like that are pointless. They are just usable ones to us.
“Is that so?”
Chun Yeowun put on the speakerphone.
So that the others would be able to listen to the altered voice too.
To ensure that the three spies would feel a sense of betrayal and give out information.
At Chun yeowun’s words, they made a determined expression showing that they wouldn’t say anything.
-I told you, huhu. They are trained for such situations. If you try to get something out of those mouths…
Click!
The sound of pressing a button.
“Kuaak!”
At that moment, one of the three spies screamed, and soon, the body turned red and melted away.
Hang Yu-rin had sealed his blood points, but it seemed like their location was altered.
-… this will happen. I hope you understand.
The altered voice said that the person could be disposed of at any time.
It spoke with a sense of triumph.
-This kind of talk is meaningless, so let’s get into business.
“Business?”
Chun Yeowun’s eyebrows rose.
The guy was really trying to pull Chun Yeowun’s strings.
-You must have noticed that our side tried to hurt you at a request from someone.
“It was very easy to know.”
-There was no reason to hide it. You have taken care of yourself very well, and you are smart enough to notice that.
“Then you need to pay the price for it.”
Chun Yeowun spoke in a cold voice.
The altered voice tensed up and said.
-We will fix it. We have nothing to do with you. It was just commissioned work.
Chun Yeowun’s eyes narrowed.
After all, they seemed to be moving under someone’s request.
-Well, it was a short video, but you were amazing. The footage gave me a thrill.
The altered voice spoke in awe.
It seemed like he wanted to show his sincerity.
-I also found something quite interesting.
With those words, the altered voice played something.
-Lord Chun Ma! Please give us a chance to take revenge for the Cult!
Chun Yu-jang frowned when he heard his voice.
He didn’t know that a video was filmed and sent in that short period of time.
It was annoying that such information had fallen into another person’s hand.
-There are two Chun ma. Very interesting, in the Sky Demon order, there were only two people who can be called legends.
“Two people what shi…”
Shh!
“Uhm!”
Chun Yeowun raised his hand to stop general manager Suh-jeong from speaking.
And then narrowed his eyes.
“You received the offer from Chun Woo-kyung.”
The altered voice didn’t respond for a moment and then said.
-… this is. We made a mistake. We disclosed the information meant to be used for business purposes.
“Business?”
-Because it is the iron rule of this place to hold the confidentiality of the client. Of course, there are a few exceptions. Like changing cars mid-way?
“You are saying you want to do business with me?”
-Ku… you are quick-witted. We are also sure that you are the real one of the Two heads.
The altered voice spoke with certainty.
When he first saw the sent video, he had gone blank for a second.
-We would like to make a deal with the ‘real Chun Ma’.
“Deal…”
-You have an A-class core.
“So?”
-If you hand it over to us, then in return, we will stop the assassination request and give you the location of the person who commissioned us on you.
The voice showed the will to abandon Chun Woo-kyung and make a deal with Chun Yeowun.
-Considering the rivalry for the Lord position, I don’t think the information we will give will be detrimental. But in a long term business with us, you might be able to reunite the Cult into one…
“How funny!”
Chun Yeowun cut off the voice.
At that, the altered avoid asked.
-What do you mean?
“What are you doing trying to meddle into the affairs of the Cult?”
Chun Yeowun asked in a cold voice.
-You must be upset. I hope you don’t misunderstand. Huhu, we just want to establish business relations with you.
“No need.”
Chun yeowun refused.
-…it will be difficult to find them without our help.
“I’ll find you first.”
At Chun Yeowun’s words, the voice laughed.
-Hahahaah, this is the first time someone reacted like this. We asked for a deal, and you say you’ll find us? Does that seem possible?
“Do you think that is impossible?”
At that, the voice said.
-I am sorry but the old phones have no function but calling. Moreover, it is impossible to hack it with the tech in the world. Do you think that we are easy to find?
The voice boasted about its organization that surpassed the current tech.
Chun Yeowun laughed.
“Why do you think I was listening to your shit all this time?”
The map was spread open in augmented reality.
Hundred of white marks curved and reduced to a range after bypassing the frequency.
-Hahaha. This Chun ma seems to have a big delusion. You will never find us. I can even bet my…
[The caller has been found]
Chun yeowun smiled and spoke.
“You are pretty close. Taean City.”
-!?
For an instant, the altered voice went stiff.
“I’m coming to you now.”
Click!
The call was disconnected.
An abandoned building in the northeast of Taean City.
In the basement, a man in his early 40s wearing a white researcher suit looked at the old cell phone and mumbled.
“W-what just…”
