105 – 22. The depression of a wealthy man
It was only yesterday that I noticed a hint.
Apart from doubting Namgoong Min, everything that was attached to him has disappeared.
“Not found.”
“What…?”
“It is certain that he was caught up in the battle for the third graders’ base, but his whereabouts after that are unclear.”
“… Don’t talk nonsense, just look for it, okay!?”
“……Yes.”
Stalker.
“What is the artifact you attached?”
“It’s the same. It was suddenly lost…”
“You know how much that thing costs, so you’re talking like that? It’s a tracker that works even beyond the gate!”
“Well, of course I know! However, seeing it disappear so suddenly, I can’t help but think that the artifact was destroyed or stopped functioning…”
“Ha, hahahaha.”
Location tracking artifact.
“…You can’t see it?”
“……That’s right.”
“Don’t be rude. You guys who take money like crazy, the only thing you’re good at is stealing, right?”
“……If it doesn’t appear to be a skill using church relics, then the possibility is…….”
“Stop talking. I’ll give you as much money as you want to feed that pig-like snout, so try it again and again. Even if it means using all the sacred items your church has!!!”
“Yes…”
Even remote surveillance using corrupt churches.
In addition, numerous means used to record everything from Namgoong Min’s movements, words, and actions have all failed.
It was as if he had completely disappeared from the world.
However, Liu was not certain of the disappearance at that point.
‘This happened to me last time too.’
Nam Goong Min’s skill, .
When I used the subspace skill to move to that strange fortune teller, it was similar to now.
So I somehow calmed down my excitement. I had to calm my anxiety.
‘…… Unrest? ‘Why should I be anxious?’
Anxiety. Unrest. Unrest?
I’m calm now, I’m not anxious at all. Cool-headed and reasonable.
Why on earth am I anxious?
No, this is okay.
‘I’m suspicious that it suddenly disappeared…… I’m anxious because I don’t know what to do…… It’s natural…… ….’
The suspicion that started as a small moment had already grown to a great extent.
At first, I thought it might be so.
The more I thought about it, the more it expanded.
Until I finally became convinced that it would definitely happen.
The suspicion of Namgoong Min grew out of control, to the point where even Liu himself laughed. It was overflowing and overflowing, so much so that it felt like I was going to be buried in water.
But it disappeared? You can’t find it with anything?
It must be an illusion. It’s probably a ploy to deceive me.
At least it won’t come out because you’re stuck with that fortune telling skill.
So, you will be able to see it tomorrow. Except when I was hospitalized, I was a student who always attended classes faithfully.
You fortune teller, how dare you make me anxious?
I thought I would definitely repay this debt.
“Heo-eok……heo-eok….”
Namgoong Min did not come to class. She was absent without saying anything.
Liu knows Namgoong Min. Although Namgoong Min has never actually told him, at least Liu is the person who knows about him next to Namgoong Min himself.
And the fortune teller she knew was never one to leave school without saying anything.
That’s why Rio ran.
I ran like crazy.
“Obviously…!”
All signals were cut off after that damn test.
The tracker who was attached was unable to enter the academy, so he only watched from afar.
Moreover, the location tracking artifact was also lost within the test site.
‘The scope of the test site is wide, so if you just run around, it will take a few hours.’
Is the missing Namgoong Min still in the exam room?
Liu was sure that it was so.
If she had gone outside the academy, one of the people and artifacts she had laid out in the ground would have been caught.
It is certain that all entrances into the academy have been monitored.
Furthermore, there is a high possibility that Namgoong Min is at the location where he disappeared.
‘What kind of artifact is that attached to that child? If the signal suddenly disappears, it’s one of two things.’
It was either broken or disturbed.
Being destroyed is out of the question. It may be cheap, but it was something Liu personally chose with great care.
An artifact that didn’t crack even when hit by an anti-tank shell couldn’t have been damaged by someone like a 3rd grader.
What remains is the latter.
‘I was interrupted…’ … ? That means…….’
The only possibility is that the signal sent by the location tracking artifact is being interrupted or blocked.
But this is not a walkie-talkie or GPS; it is an artifact.
If something like that was blocked, it would be clear──
“What kind of bastards…!!!”
──Only artificial intervention.
I mobilized several
Magicians, or used an artifact that nullifies artifacts like Rio has.
In the end, intervention by a third party is certain.
I was expecting him to disappear, perhaps accidentally trapped somewhere.
Someone kidnapped Namgoong Min.
The truth that I desperately ignored was now flashing before my eyes.
“Damn, damn, damn!!”
There is a suspicion that Namgoong Min made his own play.
Why do I need to worry about a guy who approached me only for my money?
I think it’s a good thing that the person I was suspicious of disappeared on his own.
Those thoughts were lightly buried by the surging emotions and disappeared.
There is only one thing left for her.
Fierce, primal, sticky emotions.
Anger.
Rio, now.
I was more angry than ever.
“……………….”
Have you ever heard that when people get too angry, they actually become calm?
Liu, who was angry and making loud noises, suddenly had a deadpan expression.
‘The testing site is all around here.’
Now the buildings are back to their original state, but just yesterday the road Rio was running on was also blocked.
If you draw a circle around this place, it will become the test site for the 3rd graders’ battle for a base, which they had figured out in advance.
“……………….”
Stop running and put your hands in your arms.
Gradually.
Then a heavy bag was held in my hand.
Emergency items to carry for self-defense, just in case something goes wrong.
Although it was said to be for emergency use, each item was an expensive artifact worth billions of dollars, but Liu had no hesitation.
“……….”
Chrrr!!
I sit in a dark alley and pour out all the artifacts in my pockets.
All kinds of artifacts that looked luxurious at first glance rolled around on the dark alley floor and became dirty.
Liu just roughly grabbed the necklace around his neck and ripped it off.
“If this is….”
Artifact, .
An artifact that gives you corresponding physical abilities by feeding it.
However, this time it was not for its original purpose.
The Thrown into the pile of artifacts devoured the artifacts to the point of being rather ravenous, and at the same time, Liu took off the ring he was wearing on his hand.
Artifact, .
The ring that has the ability to find a crane hidden among chickens and a person among people flickers.
At the same time, Liu grabbed , Which had swallowed almost all of the accumulated artifacts, and strongly grabbed the necklace.
Thud.
Eating Artifacts, which had special abilities but was weak in durability, crumbled in Liu’s hands.
I can feel something sticky inside.
“……………….”
From Noble mtl dot com
This is the essence of the artifacts swallowed by the necklace.
Drop the silver liquid on .
“Find Namgoong Min.”
The artifacts he had as spares and the power of Are combined and used as fuel for .
It was a rough use of making an artifact that could be used multiple times into a one-time use.
Only for that ‘disposable’ performance is greatly amplified.
Wooow ───
Even though Emits light and vibration, it gradually decreases.
Liu gritted his teeth in response.
‘Let’s do this, right?’
If this amount of fuel could not be kicked at Namgoong Min, who was clearly in the vicinity, it would mean that the opponent’s artifact was superior.
They go to the extent of brazenly kidnapping academy students within the academy. There will definitely be a strong background and support, and they will probably be using a lot of anti-artifacts.
But.
Rio wasn’t at his best yet.
“Let’s see who wins.”
It is very inefficient if you don’t melt it through , But the only way is to just give it whole as fuel.
Earrings, And .
Throw it into .
Necklace, In .
Throw it into .
Rings, And , , , And .
Throw it into .
Bracelets, And .
Throw it into .
And other artifacts that Rio wears, including gems that can be used one-time even if they are not artifacts.
She literally pours everything she has right now.
It was an amount that would make even the world’s leading wealthy person hesitate, but Liu’s actions were quick.
Artifacts worth more than trillions become the fuel for .
I whisper softly to the ring that shakes wildly and emits light.
“Find Namgoong Min.”
It was right after that.
The light coming from No longer spread to the surroundings, but focused entirely on Rio.
Liu, who seemed to have realized something, slowly closed his eyes.
And then, after a while.
At the same time , Which used excessive force, cracked and broke.
“……I found it.”
Liu opened his eyes.
*
Wang Fei was dissatisfied with her own life.
Even though she was born into a wealthy family and looked down on the poor, she was always dissatisfied.
What do you do when you wear nice clothes? There are many people who wear more expensive clothes than me.
What do you do when you eat good food? There are many people who eat more expensive food than me.
What do you do if you live in a nice house? There are many people who live in nicer mansions than me.
Jealous, compared, and annoyed.
Especially, even though she was of similar age, her stomach hurt every time she heard the rumor that she was a world-class wealthy person.
I cannot understand this at all. I felt resentful towards my parents.
Why is this all I can earn? That’s why I live in such poverty!
She didn’t like that he bothered her and bothered her often. She hated seeing those faces always smiling at topics that didn’t make them any money.
One day when I was shopping for luxury goods at a department store in a very difficult and poor manner.
Wang Fei met fate.
The fate of gambling.
‘This is it!!’
At a casino he happened to visit, Wang Fei earned 1 billion won.
Even though the allowance was only for about a month, she found her future there.
It’s gambling, you can make money here! Then I too can live rich!
I gambled again with the 1 billion I earned on the first day. This time I earned 2 billion won.
The next day she lost 500 million. But she said that the manager at VVIP Only Hoom praised me for having a talent for gambling. Well, yes, you could lose around 500 million won.
A week later, all 1 billion was lost. Still, it’s okay now that I’ve gained experience, I’ll be able to do better next time.
…… What? Why do you go to gambling places? Are you going to cut off your pocket money?
Who are you doing this to me? It’s all about parents!?
‘You idiots!’
Why do you not know how to make money like that? Make money with just a few buttons!
Two idiots stole cash and house documents while they were working abroad. The safe password was my birthday, so I was able to get it out easily.
I made 3 billion won by betting on everything. This is it!
…… The next day, I lost all 3 billion. No matter how I think about it, this is because my capital is insufficient.
If you look at other scammers, they bring 10 billion as standard, so what is 3 billion at most?
‘I need more.’
For him, it was necessary to act. I acted in an attitude that stupid parents would like. It was disgusting to see old people crying, but capital is important.
When I told him that I would take over the company, my father got excited and told me all kinds of stories.
No, I’m not interested in things like management policy. Give me company quickly!
After waiting for as long as three months, he sent his parents to Hawaii under the pretext of a trip and borrowed money from a
Rich man using his company as collateral.
1 Trillion? Okay, this is it. This should be enough!
This is all the money I earned, so it’s mine. Don’t be greedy, let’s just get 10 trillion and quit gambling!
……… I thought so.
“f*ck, f*ck, f*ck.”
Why did my life turn out like this?
No matter how much I think about it, it seems like the capital was not enough at that time. 1 Trillion won for the entire company? I should have received at least 2 trillion.
It’s all because of that damn b*tch!
Treat someone like a dog just because he couldn’t repay some money!
“f*ck you.”
If people get a little angry, they might try to take revenge. After all, you’re still alive and you’re trying to send me to the gate?
The days I spent as a porter at the gate were hell. Even though I worked non-stop without being able to wash properly or rest, I didn’t have enough money.
Gambling, because if you win a little by gambling, it can happen again. I participated in illegal gambling at the gate several times, but lost everything.
Well, fortunately, I got out of that situation thanks to Kim Ha-neul, who recognized my worth.
I’m glad you’re a girl with an eye for collateral topics.
“Someday that year…”
Of course, that collateral b*tch also dared to call me a ‘dog’, so I’ll pay you back.
But before that.
“Really, what kind of rice cake is this?”
I never would have thought that this damned fortune teller would come to me while I was sneaking in wearing instructor clothes.
Kim Ha-neul That b*tch told me to stay still, but it was worth it to move based on my excellent judgment.
When I see this fortune teller chained up and lying unconscious, my heart trembles.
‘How dare you treat me like that?’
Both the And this Are both bastards. What did I do wrong?
Thanks to , Which I was given to use only when it’s important, I don’t have to worry about getting caught.
‘What did they say, was it a treasure used by the imperial family?’
Well, it doesn’t matter anyway. If you sell it later, it will help with your capital.
I was told to only use the imperial b*tch when I captured Liu Yan, but what does it matter anyway? I can kill that b*tch with my skills.
The last time I got hit was because I was careless. If you hit me right, I’ll harpoon you until you cry──
“──I found it.”
