28 – Take it off bitch [EPISODE – 1]
“Ugh…”
I think he hit Reitana’s stomach about 10 times.
In front of my eyes, Reitana was gagging and suffering with sticky saliva.
I couldn’t even breathe properly, so I couldn’t even raise my voice properly, and I slowly picked myself up.
“Whoa…”
After seeing that, I was able to gradually calm myself down.
When I think of what I did to my little sister, I still want to beat her even more, but I still have to listen, so I had to put up with it for now.
I’ve seen this a lot. It was as if he could barely resist the urge to smash the organs near his stomach.
‘By the way, how the hell does Reitana know about the hero?’
Originally, I was going to kill Reitana right here.
That’s how much Reitana did around me was dirty and despicable, so I was really angry.
It seemed that if I left the [Cult’s] Saint Reitana alive, someday she would retaliate against me later, and I didn’t want to leave any unnecessary scratches.
However, when I approached to kill Reitana, what Reitana said. ‘Are you Siwoo’s hero?’ Because of the words, I had no choice but to stop trying to kill.
It was really unexpected that Reitana knew about the EX-level skill [Human Peak: Hero] that I accidentally got at the Astaroth-level gate.
The EX-level skill [Peak of Humanity: Hero] is truly a skill unprecedented in the history of hunters.
While working as a manager at Eunha Yoo’s company, I know all the abilities of most hunters, and I’m overflowing with hunter jjambab, but I’ve never heard of such a skill.
It was a skill that could not be found in any literature, and no one had such a skill in the past records.
Besides, since I acquired the [Hero] skill, I have never told anyone about this skill. In other words, no one other than me with this skill could know this information.
Still, I had a strong feeling that Reitana knew about this, that she knew something I didn’t know.
It was not unusual for Reitana to know about this skill.
So I had to get information from Leitana.
Deciding what to do with Reitana is definitely next.
“Get up. Quickly.”
About a minute had passed since I hit Reitana.
Reitana also slowly regains her breath.
Now it was my turn to talk.
“Coke… yes.”
Reitana listened to me and quietly raised her head from her seat.
And he lowered his eyes with a sullen face.
“Really? What do you want to say…?”
I said coldly to Reitanage.
“First of all… First of all, I’m sorry for kidnapping your little sister… Regarding that… I deeply apologize.”
And Reitana shuddered slightly at seeing me like this, and apologized first.
“Everything I say from now on is the truth.”
And he continued talking.
“Siwoo-sama… No, hero. My ability is the [Goddess’ Blessing], and it is the ability to receive prophecies from the goddess. With that ability, there is a command the goddess gave me. Grow the guild and help the hero. I mean.”
It was said that everything Reitana had done up until now had been ordered by the goddess.
“So… that’s it…”
“So you kidnapped, imprisoned, and even raised the guild while taking out loans?”
“… yes.”
I’m trying to be a little dumbfounded after hearing Reitana’s words.
To be honest, the prophecy is not strange.
I don’t think that the subject of being a goddess has anything to do with Reitana being a saint.
However, because of that, Reitana’s actions were strange.
No matter how much she tried to raise the guild and help the warriors, even if she received the order of the goddess, Reitana’s behavior was excessive.
What drove her to this extent?
As of now, I don’t feel any probabilities.
Are you just crazy?
Or is he somehow teasing his tongue?
It might be more accurate to say that Reitana was a psychopath who enjoyed harassing others.
“Is the goddess evil? Or are you lying?”
I asked Reitana.
What the hell is the true identity of a goddess, and why is she asking Reitana to do such a thing?
Ilda I had no choice but to doubt Reitana, whether she was a goddess or not.
“Neither of them…”
Reitana answered my question immediately.
It was the gaze that had something to explain about him.
“I… must have been impatient. Somehow, in this guild review, I didn’t choose any means to take the 1st place guild. Otherwise, the world would be destroyed…. maybe.”
“Perish?”
“yes…”
I heard an unexpected answer from Reitana’s mouth.
A little out of the blue story about the end of the world.
“The goddess gave a warning with an order. The world is now at a crossroads of destruction. They say we have to save the world somehow. That’s why the goddess lent me her strength.”
“Hmm… the goddess did that?”
“Yes… it’s true.”
Reitana continued talking to me as if pleading.
It was those earnest eyes, as if they were sad and begged for trust.
Looking at Reitana, I couldn’t help but think for a moment.
‘It doesn’t sound like a complete lie…’
Why are you saying something out of the blue? Not long ago, I would have thought that way.
However, after I was almost killed by Park Jin-ha, I saw a burning world in a dream and saw a goddess there, so I was able to have some persuasion.
He even heard what the goddess said, that the Nephilim were coming, so there was enough credibility in Leitana’s words.
I definitely felt that the Goddess and Reitana were strongly related.
I also had a connection with the goddess, and I felt that what Reitana was saying was not just nonsense.
To some extent, he might have gained some credibility for Reitana.
However.
“You want me to believe that? What if you’re lying?”
But it’s still hard to fully believe in Reitana.
Until she invaded here, Reitana tried to kidnap Park Jin-soo and was the one who kidnapped my sister.
It’s such a person, but suddenly doing this is now in danger of dying, so I don’t know if he’s lying to live, but who guarantees that Reitana is safe?
It is natural for me to be suspicious and cautious now.
I looked down coldly at Reitana again.
Once again, I was at the moment when I was a little worried about whether to kill Reitana or not.
I had to make a decision now.
I don’t know how they will retaliate against me if I put off the decision and let them live later.
“I’m not lying…! It’s real. Trust me. I’m… to help the hero…!”
Seeing this, Reitana trembled as if terrified.
And desperately began to defend himself against me.
“Do you have proof? Or can you at least talk me to the goddess?”
“… no… and that’s impossible.”
“Then you can’t believe it.”
However, there is no evidence, and it was not a situation where I could believe.
I wished I could give me the kind of credit I could count on.
But that didn’t work, so I tried to get a little frustrated.
“… It’s real. Other than that, I’ll prove it somehow. The way the hero wants.”
But even in this country, I thought that Reitana’s attitude was very sincere.
It was a very sincere statement, and my gut doesn’t feel that Reitana is lying.
By the way, are you going to prove it in any way…?
‘Hmm…Now that it’s like this, shall we make a weakness instead of trusting him?’
After hearing Reitana’s words, I came up with a method.
There is no trust between me and Reitana right now. So I can’t believe Reitana’s words.
Under these circumstances, it’s easy for me to believe Reitana’s words. credit has to be created.
When I have credit, I can trust Reitana’s words.
So what does Reitana need to do to be able to give me credit?
In the end, there is no such thing as collateral for that.
If Reitana and I were close friends or lovers, that itself would be credible, but it wasn’t.
Me and Reitana were just strangers.
So, I had to get a solid guarantee from Leitana.
The collateral would be money for ordinary people, but I’m trying to get something else instead of money.
I can trust Reitana if she receives everything that Reitana has accumulated as the head of the [Cult] and the fifth-ranked S-class saint so far.
“Yeah? You said you’d do anything?”
I picked up my smartphone.
I pointed the camera lens at Reitana.
And I ran the video app.
“Yo… Hero… Now… what are you trying to do…?”
Seeing me like this, Reitana’s face instantly turned pale.
As for what will happen from now on…? It was a face called
“Don’t you see it? Take it off quickly.”
I don’t know what Reitana is thinking, but she’s probably right.
From now on, I will receive the ‘intimidation video’ from Reitana.
It was time to test how sincere Leitana was.
