047. auction (5)
The door closed slowly and quickly.
Even in an emergency, the guy did not run away, but rather burst out laughing like crazy.
“now! Now I know! That heinous calm and sarcastic tone! I couldn’t have felt wrong. Cain! I don’t know how you got out of prison, but I’ll see you here again!”
The guy took off his mask.
It wasn’t a striking appearance, but one ear was completely cut off.
“It’s me! Isaac Lecter! I’m not sure I forgot!”
The subordinates who were aiming their knives with their distance apart asked.
“Ka, you mean Cain? That Blue Serpent?”
“I heard you are in prison, how could you get here… .”
I did not deny my identity.
Instead, he spoke after a brief silence.
“Isaac Lecter. It’s a name I can’t remember. I don’t know who it is.”
The guy was instantly stunned. Then he burst out in anger and ran away.
“me! I don’t remember!”
visor!
Mace deflected the attack.
The guy who landed in a somersault took out his jewelry box and threw it at his subordinate.
“good! That jewel alone is enough to make a profit!”
“Lee, who is the leader?”
“I’m going to kill this motherf*cker here.”
“That, though… .”
“go! The door is closing!”
Two of his men, who had been instructed, took the jewelry box and disappeared through the half-closed door.
“Chase. Secure the mithril first. it’s okay to kill There is no need to protect me, so I can run wild.”
“Are you okay?”
“Trust me.”
She nodded, followed them and disappeared out of the door.
Chunkyung.
Soon the door closed completely, leaving only Isaac and I in the safe.
“You don’t know me! I remember you so well! Take off your mask, Cain!”
I took off the mask, revealing my original face without transformation magic.
“okay. I can’t be wrong. Because I remember every single little gesture, voice, and expression of yours!”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t know what to think.”
Contrary to what he said, I knew him very well.
‘The power doesn’t go down. It just tends to cloud your judgment when you’re excited.’
If you hadn’t met me in every battle, you would have achieved quite a bit.
And there would have been no cut off ears in a humiliating position.
Isaac’s face grew redder and redder.
At the end, it spewed out a dizzying amount of life and ran towards me.
“die!”
visor!
As the studio continued violently, the desk fell and banknotes flew.
“I never forgot you! I have been sharpening my teeth to build strength. In the end, I made it to the executive position! Unlike you, who only believed in your head and stayed still!”
visor!
Scratches from the sword were engraved on the wall, and the lights that had been shot flickered.
light and darkness.
Each other’s eyes flickered.
“What do you do after you kill me? I heard that the door never opens from the inside.”
visor!
“There are my subordinates out there. There must be a massacre going on by now. Kill them all and take the money. The process has changed, but the result has not changed!”
“Very optimistic.”
I took a fountain pen out of my arms while exchanging the studio. He stood up and slammed it against the wall.
Aww!
“This is a fountain pen provided by Ignis to VIPs. If the stylus goes all the way to the inside, the Ignis mercenaries will come running.”
visor!
“No way! It was your specialty to distract with your words!”
I didn’t miss the moment a minute of embarrassment spread across the guy’s face.
“Your decision is yours. But you will be responsible for the results.”
There were more and more gaps in the guy’s attack. It was evidence that he was losing his concentration.
“Bitch! Another lie like that!”
“I don’t know who you are, but if you’ve ever lost to me, I think you know why.”
visor!
“It’s not good.”
The boy’s face contorted.
“I can’t believe it’s a plan I’ve been preparing for a year. It’s a public fact that older people use Ignis. Some of the participants may have already pressed a fountain pen. Isaac, why didn’t you keep an eye on Ignis?”
“Shut up!”
The attack was getting easier and easier to counter.
“Take it slow. First, you forgot the switch inside the safe. One of the three should have marked the manager.”
“I told you to shut up!”
visor!
“Second, at the moment the door was closed, I was swayed by emotions and sent only my subordinates out. Even if you have had enough time.”
“That mouth… !”
visor!
“Third, you acted too easily even after you knew it was me.”
bang!
I fired at the pile of cash behind me.
All the banknotes on the track were torn and disappeared without a shape.
“Now what… !”
The boy’s eyes fluttered wildly.
I did not miss the gap and struck out the guy’s attack.
Immediately, they fired at another pile of cash.
bang!
“Where are you shooting? My opponent is me!”
The boy screamed and ran again.
“The attack is slow. Do you care about money?”
“You bastard like a dog! I can’t stop right now!”
“You’re talking as if it’s already your money.”
The habit of making serious mistakes in greed for money. He still hasn’t given up on that habit.
While reducing the money in the safe, I raised all the remaining mana.
Then he switched to the offensive and drove him away.
‘The force is not much different from the subordinates. I wasn’t the main fighter in the first place.’
“This is nonsense. No way! I must have gotten stronger!”
“Do you think you’re the only one who got stronger?”
The magazine part of the pistol hit him on the shoulder.
The guy widened the distance and knelt on one knee.
ahduk.
The guy gritted his teeth.
Heaps of cash everywhere burned, illuminating the safe.
“I don’t need anything more than this. I put so much resources into it, and I want you to go back with nothing. Ha, one way or another, I am dead.”
He pulled something out of his pocket and grabbed it. it was magic
“Let me be your companion on the underworld. Wherever you are, take a look.”
He poured all the mana stones into his mouth and swallowed them as if chewing a piece of glass.
fault.
The guy jumped up.
A sword emitting mana with a vicious force came down at me.
‘come.’
For a moment, it felt like time was passing slowly.
It’s not an avoidable speed and angle. One of them was inevitably fatal.
‘Calm.’
There was no need to be nervous.
This kind of behavior was also within the expected range.
I pointed the gun at him.
He moved his lips slightly, and at that moment, his eyes fluttered.
Nettle!
The black narrowly deflected his neck and slashed his shoulder deeply.
Immediately after, my muzzle hit the falling guy’s forehead.
Frowning in pain, I pulled the trigger without hesitation.
bang!
The corpse of the guy with his forehead pierced fell onto the floor.
I clasped my shoulders and sat gliding against the wall. And he reached out to him.
[ Mana 72 / 907 ]
A considerable amount of mana increased.
However, the wound was deep, and this amount of mana could not be completely healed.
‘It can be healed by using manastones. However.’
The moment she put her hand in her arms and was about to take out the magic stone, her words came to mind.
─Do not use magic stones as much as possible. I will do my best to prevent that from happening.
“Did you hear anything in the meantime?”
He smiled and removed his hand from the magic stone.
I had that thought.
If you use Manastone, the circuit will be damaged, so whether you heal the wound or leave it unattended, the conclusion is not the same.
I ripped my clothes off and finished bleeding roughly, then closed my eyes. And I remembered the battle a while ago.
‘He couldn’t overcome his fear in the end.’
That was the last sentence I spit out.
-It’s a command. Cut your ears off with your hands. Then save your life.
The words spit out in the past are still floating around in his unconscious to this day.
At the decisive moment, the tip of the sword shook, and I did not miss the gap.
‘… I’m a little tired.’
The fire burned quietly, using money as firewood. It did not spread beyond that.
His eyelids slumped and his body became weary from the gentle warmth.
There, due to the aftereffects of the Mana Stone, her body was desperately wanting to rest.
‘Estelle. The situation outside is going to be fine.’
Normally, I would have survived somehow without losing my mind.
But the fact that I had a colleague I could turn my back on relieved the tension I had always had.
‘very little. Just a little bit.’
[Synchronization with ‘Cain River’ is in progress.]
[Current synchronization rate – 85.5%]
As I listened to the message ringing in my ears, I calmed myself beneath the surface of the water.

“… The identity is guaranteed by me.”
“Still, sir. There is a procedure that we must also check… .”
When I opened my eyes, I saw the wall of the safe with the lights turned off. Auction house officials and police were gathered around.
“Where do you get something like this? If it wasn’t for this guy, all the money would have been stolen and the hostages would have died.”
And Estelle, with a very angry face, was glaring at them.
He glanced down.
The clothes that had been wrapped up as a temporary measure were replaced with clean bandages.
Seeing that the pain had stopped, it seemed that she had used healing magic.
The mask, too, was put back on his face.
“Still, there are reports of warlocks coming in, so we have to check it first… .”
A uniformed policeman crawled in front of her.
The status of a combat priest was certainly not a position that even the police could easily deal with.
crumble.
Everyone’s eyes were drawn to it as soon as I made a move. I slowly got up from my seat and faced them.
“Are you awake? body?”
“Okay. How much time has passed?”
“About two hours. The outside is still being cleaned up.”
A briefcase was in her hands.
It was not necessary to know which side had won.
“The police tried to get me back as much as possible… .”
“Okay.”
After walking past her, he pulled out a tile from his bosom and showed it.
In addition to the mark of the security service and the name of the issuer, it was engraved with a statement to assure the identity of the holder.
“This will prove your identity.”
It was not usable in all situations, but at least against the police, it was definitely effective.
“Oh, yes. Confirmed. Please forgive us if we have caused any inconvenience.”
The policeman who was at the forefront bowed his head, turned his back, and led the other crew to disappear.
The distance went away and a faint voice could be heard.
─But don’t you think you should do some research?
—You idiot. Did you not see who the issuer was? You’re the chief’s daughter. Deputy Director of Public Security. don’t get tangled up Because it might fly away.
Estelle glanced at why you had it, but I ignored it.
“Thank you. Thanks to you, the worst was avoided. How the hell should I say thank you? .”
The manager approached with the support of the staff.
He looked at Isaac’s corpse and trembled, looked at me and said,
“Change your seat. I don’t think it’s worth standing up and talking like this.”
I went through the safe passage and out of the office.
Bodies were scattered all over the place, and police and staff were cleaning up the scene of the fighting.
-I still can’t believe it. The colleagues I worked with for nearly a year were Red Skulls.
-Let’s be thankful for surviving.
The noises of the staff were heard from all over the place.
It wasn’t long before we arrived at the drawing room.
I sat down at the table and listened to the manager.
“Of course I won’t ask you what your identity is. Because that’s the principle here. In return, I will do whatever I can at my discretion.”
What he was offering was VIP privileges that apply at any point.
Priority participation in all auctions.
Lifetime membership fee waiver.
Free use of all facilities.
There was no reason to refuse, so I accepted his favor.
“Wait a minute. I’ll make a card as soon as it’s organized, not what the store looks like right now.”
In addition, he said he would contact the head office to see if there was any more compensation he could give me.
After talking, I went out of the living room.
Estelle supported me as I stumbled for a moment.
“Let’s rest for a while. I used healing magic, but I bled too much.”
“I do.”
I got on the elevator and went back to my original room.
He rested there for a few days.
Due to the catalyst and the aftereffects of his injury, he was not ready to leave immediately.
While lying on the sofa and reading the newspaper, Estelle came into the room.
“The police came. I will give you a commendation in recognition of your contribution to clearing the Red Skull.”
“Tell him you don’t need it.”
“The picture is a little funny. Criminal gang leaders are being commended by the police.”
She grinned and set down the tray of bandages and disinfectant on the table.
Then I began to untie the bandages on my shoulders.
smart.
Just then, a knock was heard from the doorway beyond the room.
“Wait. I will go.”
Soon after she disappeared, a voice came from beyond the room.
─ … Why are you here?
– I’m not interested in that. Is Evan inside?
