chapter 57
Episode 57 Secret Warehouse (1)
As soon as Park Tae-ho received the coordinates from his granddaughter, he jumped out of the window.
-Kwajangchang!
The reinforced plastic window, which easily blocks heavy bullets from anti-materiel sniper rifles, shattered like cookie dough.
Taeho Park flies into the sky creating a sonic boom.
Park Seo-yoon looked at the scene in vain and shouted one word.
“No! Why are you breaking a window that’s fine!?”
“…”
The employee standing next to him looked at Park Seo-yoon with bewildered eyes.
You’re saying something like that after destroying your desk, flower pot, and other household items in your office?
It’s just the grandfather and the granddaughter…
No, more than that.
“Guild leader! What should we do?”
“Whoa…”
Park Seo-yoon looked out her window, unbuttoned a couple of the top buttons of her shirt and lit a cigar.
“Gather all the kids! We’re going to the portal!”
“Yes!”
As soon as Park Seo-yoon gave the command, the employee rushed out the office door.
The office becomes quiet again.
-Sooop! Whoa!
-Suuup!
Park Seo-yoon sucked down all the cigar in just two breaths and threw the butt out the window.
“You trashy demon b*stards…”
-Whoa…
Park Seo-yoon turned toward the elevator, exhaling a cloud of cigarette smoke.
– Tduduk! Tduduk!
“You are all behind.”
The same golden anger as Park Tae-ho was burning in her eyes.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
A cathedral located on the outskirts of Stellaport.
A retreat for demons belonging to the Red Cross Society.
Two B-class demons were standing guard at the entrance of the cathedral.
“No, it’s not the military, what the fuck… Suddenly, it’s some kind of sentry. A sentry.”
One of the people complained while smoking her chain.
“Still, this is better than being tough.”
Another Mine joined her in smoking a cigarette.
-Kaaak! Hehe!
“Ha~, I want to go back to the days of smuggling brokers. Back then, you could pick anyone as long as you got on a ship.”
Mine laughed.
“Why? Even now, you can do it if you want. There are a lot of women in Stellaport.”
“Hey. You have to choose the time and place. Today, the leader told me about the Credo kids. If they cause trouble now, we’ll really chase after them.”
“Ah. Those gay b*stards. They’re always the problem.”
Their original mission was to open a new drug sales route in Stellaport.
However, just yesterday, when the Credo raid team went missing, all their plans were canceled and an order to standby was issued.
“What happened to those b*stards all of a sudden?”
“I don’t know, I don’t know the details either. I asked the leader earlier and he said that the other members of the surveillance team are currently searching. They are looking for Credo.”
“What? Escape? Those gay b*stards. Didn’t they die as a group while having an orgy?”
“Tsk. It’s really dirty. But when it comes to Credo, you get treated pretty well in the Reverse Cross Society, so why run away?”
“It’s the same. I always do what I want, but even the higher-ups don’t say anything.”
“I’m so fucking jealous. How much magic jade do you have to eat to get that level of specs?”
Magiok.
A jade bead that permanently strengthens the power of the demon.
If you could eat this to your heart’s content, it was possible to become S-class or higher without any training.
Of course, it was only possible in theory, and it was not an item that Magi-ok could easily obtain.
“Now that I think about it, isn’t next week the day Magi Ok comes in?”
So, demons join demon organizations such as the Red Cross.
To rise to a higher position as a magician.
The superiors provide them with money and magic jade, and they take on all kinds of miscellaneous tasks, dreaming of success as demons.
“I’m coming in next week. Why?”
“Would you like to bet on something? I’ll give magic to the person who wins.”
“No, I don’t. I like stability.”
“Damn. Tsk tsk. Why did a guy like that become a demon?”
“To stab women reliably.”
The demons giggled.
“Hey. But what exactly is our mission? You didn’t just tell us to wait, right?”
There is no way the Red Cross would give such a convenient mission without any reason.
“What did you hear when the leader spoke earlier?”
“Of course I didn’t listen. That guy speaks too harshly.”
“Tsk.”
Mine clicked her tongue once and explained.
“It’s nothing special. Just be on guard like this and if hunters or police come here to search, you can just take things underground and cut them open.”
“Ah. It’s just a warehouse.”
“Well, that’s right.”
“But honestly, would hunters or police officers come this far?”
This is the outskirts of Stellaport.
Since it seems to be buried in the middle of a hill, it is hard to see and people don’t often visit.
Unless hunters and police try to search the entire Stellaport, which is the size of Jeju Island, the chances of them finding it here are extremely low.
“Well, honestly, there is little chance of it coming this far, but I guess the higher-ups decided to do it out of anger.”
“Is there a need to assign members of the Stellaport organization as security guards just to protect a hideout like this? Perhaps they have hidden something more valuable in the hideout without us knowing?”
“Well, maybe. Isn’t there a secret warehouse in the basement of the cathedral?”
“I have nothing to do. Would you like to look for it after work?”
“Kuhk. That’s it. I’m too busy sucking honey.”
“Is that so? Then I’ll take a chance and try to seduce an academy cadet…”
It was then.
-Cow!!!!
“Oh my!”
“What!?”
Suddenly, a meteor-like fireball fell from the sky and shook the entire area.
“Kk, kk!”
The courtyard, which had been decorated with a fountain and a flower garden, suddenly became a sea of fire, as if it had been bombed.
-Good luck! Howling!
“Fuck, fuck! What is that! That!”
“Now, wait a minute!”
Mine’s eyes widened as he stared at the blazing crater.
“You’re a human!”
A huge figure was slowly rising from the flames.
Armor that is bright red, as if it had just been taken out of a furnace.
Hair and beard like a lion’s mane.
Golden eyes that burn like flames.
It was Park Tae-ho.
“Huh, Hunter!?”
One of the demons hastily took out her weapon.
Seeing that, another demon tapped his forehead
“Oh, you idiot! What if I take out my weapon!”
Just looking at the opponent, he is a strong man who cannot do anything at the level of a B-class magician.
If he hadn’t taken out his weapon, he would have been able to run away by acting like a Catholic.
Because of that guy, I have no choice but to fight now.
“Fuck, I was so shocked that I reflexively!”
“Ah! You idiot!”
“Oh fuck! I don’t know! He’s an old man anyway!”
“Crazy b*stard… !”
Even old people are in their own way.
How are you going to deal with the monster old man who appeared like a meteor from the sky?
“Then you take care of it! I’ll go downstairs and let you know!”
“Hey, hey, son of bitch, where are you going!”
Mine grabbed the back of her fleeing companion.
Then her companion shook off her hand and her eyes glowed menacingly.
“You! Fight!”
Two eyes dyed bright red.
It was the illusion of a B-class demon’s supernormal ability.
“You, you b*stard!” What should I do… Ugh…”
The focus disappeared from the eyes of the demon who was in enchantment.
Then, with a blank expression, she straightened her weapon towards Park Tae-ho.
The comrade, who shook off the demon out of enchantment, ran away without looking back.
Meanwhile, Taeho Park watched the skit and raised the corners of his mouth.
“I came to the right place.”
He approached the entrance with flames wrapped around his body.
“Ugh, uhhh… !”
Majin, drunk with ecstasy, rushed at Park Tae-ho with sashimi.
Taeho Park snorted.
A demon of that level didn’t even need to use the great sword on her back.
-Pow!
Just a wave of the hand as if shooing away a fly.
With that single gesture, Mine’s upper body exploded as if it had been hit by a bomb.
-aaah!
Mine’s brain, bone fragments, internal organs, and blood stained the cathedral’s windows.
– Dean. Dean. Dean. Dein.
At the same time, the cathedral bell began to ring frantically.
It’s probably an emergency bell for the Mines.
“Shinhuyaaa!!! It’s raining!!!”
-Quaaang!!!
Taeho Park broke down the door of the cathedral and entered.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
The rooftop of the academy’s dormitory.
Kang Seo-jun was looking at the distant horizon with providential eyes shining.
The place he is looking at is the cathedral, a hideout for demons.
Taeho Park had just begun his attack.
“No. “That old man came?”
The corners of Kang Seo-jun’s mouth rose.
Is it a lucky correction to reach the realm of transcendence?
Tae-ho Park’s participation in the war was also a good thing for him.
“Things will go much faster.”
However, as Park Tae-ho stepped forward, Kang Seo-jun also needed to move faster.
“I need to save Park Shin-hoo quickly before Taesan Group thinks they were deceived by me.”
In fact, Park Shin-hoo was not in the cathedral that Kang Seo-jun told Park Seo-yoon.
It’s been a long time since I was able to use the Taisan group, but it would be a waste to just let them catch a few demons and be done with it.
However, you can’t destroy a healthy company by sending it to a place that is too dangerous.
You have to use it as nutritiously as possible within the compromise.
So Kang Seo-jun sent them to the cathedral.
Because there is a secret warehouse hidden there that not even the executives of the Red Cross Society know about.
Soon, all the loot sleeping in that secret warehouse would become Kang Seo-jun’s share.
“Before that, let’s save Park Shin-hoo first.”
Although he used the Taesan Group for his own benefit, he had no intention of backstabbing them.
‘I will continue to be associated with the Taesan Group in the future, so I shouldn’t accumulate karma already.’
Kang Seo-jun rolled his eyes and manipulated the Eye of Providence.
Soon a dark basement began to appear on his retina
That place is the basement of an abandoned house located on Ulleungdo.
This was the place where Park Shin-hoo was imprisoned.
“Wow. They’re locked up in a place like this.”
In fact, no matter how good the Eye of Providence is, it takes enormous magical power to determine the location of a specific person.
However, Kang Seo-jun and Park Shin-hoo have a strong bond that is connected by parasitic growth.
When looking for someone with a strong relationship, you don’t need that much magic power.
As long as parasitic growth was corrected, Kang Seo-jun could know where Park Shin-hoo was at any time with very little magical power.
“Wow. Look at the condition.”
Park Shin-hoo’s appearance was indescribably miserable.
Fingernails, toenails, teeth, hair… I pulled out everything I could.
Fingers, toes, ears, eyelids, retina, lips, tendons, testicles… Now it seemed like everything that could be cut was being cut.
“No, you’re crazy. If it had been just a little bit later, you would have died, right?”
Even though it’s Park Shin-hoo, I still feel bad about that.
If I were not careful, I would have lost Taesan’s successor characteristics.
I need that to have Taesan Group under my command.
In the very late stages, the difference between one alliance faction is enormous.
“Let’s save him quickly.”
Kang Seo-jun rolled his eyes with his eyes closed.
The structure of the basement where Park Shin-hoo is trapped appears on the retina in 3D.
“They also laid out a lot of bomb traps.”
The Red Cross is aware that their confidential information is being leaked.
That’s why they deliberately imprisoned Park Shin-hoo in a place that wasn’t their base and even laid out a bunch of bombs just in case.
If this had been reported to the Taesan Group, there would have been a huge explosion and a huge sacrifice.
Of course, it didn’t matter to Kang Seo-jun whether there was a bomb or a dragon there.
“Dimension Store.”
──────《Item》──────
Dimension Store Table Destiny Summon Scroll
◆Grade
[Rare-]
◆Description
– A disposable scroll that can summon a character with a deep bond near the user. Dimensional currency is consumed in proportion to the distance from the summon target.
– This item can only be purchased at the Dimension Store.
─────────────────
Because he had the ability to summon Park Shin-hoo, who was in a relationship between a host and a parasite, anytime, anywhere.
“The dimension store is really a scam.”
How much honey can you get with just one scroll?
There is no need to go to Ulleungdo, no need to worry about bomb traps, no need to fight with demons, and no need to escape while carrying a heavy bag.
“It’s simple~”
Kang Seo-jun went down to the rooftop while flapping the ‘Dimension Store Table Destiny Summoning Scroll’.
I guess I could just drop it in a nearby park restroom.
“Taesan Group captures the demons, and I rescue Park Shin-hoo. This is mutual aid~.”
In Kang Seo-jun’s mind, he was already picturing himself swimming in dimensional currency in the warehouse of demons.
