23 – Saint (3)
‘… and.’
Ellen, who was watching the fight between Lecter and Kanghyuk, involuntarily exclaimed.
She hated people hurting each other so much, and hoped that one day a peaceful world would come where everyone cooperated.
Because of that, sometimes she would intervene directly with someone who was fighting despite her lack of fighting skills.
However, this time it was different.
She could only blankly watch the fight between Lecter and Kanghyeok from start to finish. It was because the battle went so fast, and most of all, Kanghyuk’s fighting technique looked so elegant that even a person who was not good at fighting would be mesmerized.
Taaang!
“… !”
After some time, Lecter was finally killed.
Kang Hyuk grabbed his revolver and slowly approached Ellen.
Seeing him like that, Ellen had a strange feeling.
It was as if a prince on a white horse was approaching him… ?
‘… oh! What a blasphemous thought!’
Ellen, who had been staring blankly at Kanghyuk, suddenly shook her head.
She had sworn an oath to devote her whole life to God. In other words, to dream of a prince on a white horse was very disrespectful to her. Because her savior was not a prince on a white horse, but God.
“… Ellen, where are you hurt?”
After a while, Kang Hyuk, who came close to Ellen, asked.
Ellen shook her head in response.
“I-I’m fine. How about Kang Hyuk?”
“I am fine. He’s such a poor guy.”
When Kanghyuk shrugged, Ellen looked at Lecter with a somewhat bitter face. Lecter was dead, encased in ice blades, and it looked pretty ghastly.
“That guy is the one who kidnapped you and tried to sacrifice you to a pseudo-god. You don’t have to feel sorry for him.”
“but… .”
“Anyway, let’s get the loot now.”
“The loot?”
When Ellen asked, Kanghyuk put his thumb and forefinger together to form a circle.
Ellen didn’t know what that action meant, but she only nodded when Kanghyuk came out of the abandoned factory carrying a large bag. The spoil Kanghyeok said was none other than a bag of money.
“oh… Something heavy that seems to exceed 100 million at least? hehehehe!”
“Kang Hyuk. Doesn’t money bring happiness?”
“Hmph, that’s what poor people say.”
Kang Hyuk snorted and took care of the money bag. Then he told her.
“So, Ellen, I guess we’ll have to part here.”
“yes? Eh, so suddenly?”
“okay. You don’t have to be scared though. Because it looks like your guards will be here soon.”
The guards were well aware that the abduction team had used an SUV to get out of the slums. So, sooner or later they would be tracking the SUV’s tracks and reaching this point.
“When the guards come, tell them that the villains fought each other and then amicably destroyed themselves. The corpse is open, so you won’t think it’s too suspicious.”
“Is it really so?”
“Is that so? Anyway, before we part, let’s exchange contact information.”
As Kanghyuk said that, he handed Ellen his phone.
Ellen hesitated, then entered her contact information into Kanghyuk’s phone.
“Do you have your cell phone?”
“The guard is holding it.”
“From now on, you will continue to possess it. Because I don’t know when and where to contact you. Do you remember the promise we made?”
When Kanghyuk asked, Ellen nodded.
How could I forget that promise?
She had promised Kang-hyeok to treat him first when he was seriously injured. Although the promise was made through coercion, she was determined to keep it.
“Good. See you later Ellen. Increase your guard from now on.”
Kang Hyuk waved his hand and greeted her, and quickly moved away.
Ellen couldn’t help but stare blankly at his back.
***
When I got home, it was already 18:00 PM.
Kanghyuk roughly finished the shower and lay down on the bed. After working hard all day, my body was tired.
… Tingle!
After that… !
When the alarm clock rang, Kanghyuk raised his upper body with his brow furrowed.
Looking at the clock, it was already 6:00 AM. He slept for 12 hours without a break.
‘Isn’t this enough to faint?’
Kang Hyuk turned on the TV while rubbing the back of his neck.
Even though he was busy, he was always on the lookout for the morning news. It was to check how far the story of this world had progressed.
– Yesterday morning, Saint Ellen, a B-class hero, was kidnapped… .
But when I turned on the TV, the news was talking about what happened yesterday morning.
Kanghyuk watched the news silently, but at some point nodded in satisfaction. It was because I noticed that Ellen did a pretty neat follow-up.
‘It turned out that the kidnappers were two men and one woman, two men fought and destroyed themselves, and one woman is still on the run… ! Apparently, my existence has completely disappeared!’
Kang Hyuk giggled.
He felt so good. It was because I had a lot of income from this job.
‘Thanks to this job, I was able to get 100 million worth of money and a link to Ellen! It’s a bit of a jade to have gained experience points, but when you look at the whole thing, it’s a huge income!’
Kanghyuk clenched his fists tightly.
Even though the experience was a bit disappointing, he thought that this was a truly surplus business.
‘ah… ! Come to think of it, it’s already time to create a new ring.’
Kanghyuk giggled and suddenly remembered.
The [Magic Ring Creation] skill could only be used once a month, but since a month had passed since I first used it, I should be able to use it again.
“Create a magic ring!”
Even the horns were sweet, so Kanghyuk immediately used the [Create Magic Ring] skill.
At that moment, flashed in front of him! and two blue rings… !
“hmm… ? two?”
Kanghyuk put on the ring while tilting his head. Then, a clear voice resounded in his head.
[Teeling!]
[Stamina stat increases!]
[Magical – you can use sanding!]
[Sending: A long-distance communication magic that can send short messages by telephony. Can only be used between targets wearing the ring.]
“… Ho?”
Kang Hyuk, who confirmed the ability of the ring, twinkled his eyes.
Looking at it, it seemed that the two rings were made up of one set. Seeing that sanding can only be sent between targets wearing rings.
“You are lucky. It will be quite useful.”
Kanghyuk inserted one ring into his middle finger, then put the other ring in his pocket. He hadn’t thought about who to give the other to, but Kanghyeok always intended to carry it with him so that he could hand it to him at any time.
“… Now, would you like to work again?”
After a while, after briefly washing his face, Kang Hyuk sat down in front of the computer.
Despite earning a decent amount of income, Kanghyuk had no intention of wasting a day.
He had to grow up as quickly as possible. As time goes by, this world falls into considerable chaos. To avoid being swept away by the current, he needed to be as strong as possible.
‘… hmm? Beware of gunners who use revolvers?’
However, it was when Kang Hyuk had just accessed Black.com with such thoughts.
Kanghyuk clicked on the post that was listed in [BEST 1st overall]. It was because I didn’t know why the title was annoying.
“Let’s see… .”
Kang Hyuk checked the post.
After a while, Kang Hyuk, who checked all the contents of the post, frowned. It was because the identity of the ‘revolver gunner’ mentioned in the post was Kang Hyuk.
By: TK
Title: Beware the gunner with the revolver.
Content: Nice to meet you. It’s TK.
The reason why I haven’t posted in such a long time is because recently, a strange guy is aiming for the lives of our brothers.
In the past month, 28 brothers were handed over to the Public Security Agency as chilly corpses. However, it is said that eight of them had gunshot wounds of the same shape.
222 caliber (5.56mm bullet) is a bullet used primarily in small revolvers. This means that the guy who killed the 8 brothers is most likely a bounty hunter with a revolver as his primary weapon.
The area of activity of this ‘revolver gunner’ is estimated to be around Yongsan-gu and Seodaemun-gu, but it is said that they occasionally appear in Gangnam-gu.
Of course, since they are mainly targeting the D- and E-class brothers, it can be seen that they are not a big threat yet. But why is the growth rate so steep?
Do you have a growth-type ability?
I don’t know that far, but it’s clear that someday this guy will try to target his A-class or S-class brothers. So, everyone will have to pay attention.
