Episode 170
170. Bang Tae-wan
“How did this happen to you?”
Bang Tae-wan was scared when he saw his younger brother lying in the hospital room.
My face was bruised as if someone had hit me, and my arms and fingers were broken, so surgery was inevitable.
“What kind of bastard… … . “Who made it like this?”
“No, it’s not like someone did that. Oh, I accidentally fell down the stairs… … .”
“Why not! Anyone can see that it’s a sign of being hit!”
“… … .”
“Who are you?” “I’m going to kill you right now!”
Bang Tae-gyu remembered Ryu Min’s warning as he heard his brother yell.
If you try to take revenge or report it to the police, they will go to the ends of the earth and even break your other arm.
“No, you can’t say it. “If that person finds out, I’ll really die.”
Bang Tae-wan could not bear to speak as he saw his younger brother trembling with fear.
“Whew, let’s talk later when you calm down.”
I knew very well that my younger brother was part of Iljin.
He has a good physique for a middle school student and there is no one he can beat among the nearby high school students.
‘My younger brother suffered like that?’
What kind of mortal sin can a person commit that puts them in such a state?
Bang Tae-wan made a promise as he looked at his younger brother, who was trembling with fear as if he had PTSD.
‘Pay back the same baby.’
Even though my younger brother kept his mouth shut, it wasn’t difficult to find out who he was.
“You’re the older brother of a guy named Ryu Won?”
“yes. “I heard your name is Ryumin.”
“Why did we fight?”
“that is… … .”
I found out the whole story by asking friends from Iljin who used to go with my younger brother.
It was a common revenge story where his older brother found out about Ryu Won, who used a shuttle in his class, and got angry and came to see him.
‘f*ck, even so, isn’t this serious? ‘You put your child in this situation just because you asked him to run an errand?’
It was Ryu Min’s measure to prevent a bigger accident, but Bang Tae-wan had no way of knowing.
What is important is that his younger brother came home beaten like a dog.
‘Kill it.’
plural.
With that thought in mind, I inquired and found out where brothers Ryu Min and Ryu Won lived.
However, they had already moved, and in the end, they decided to spend a lot of money and borrow the help of a criminal investigation agency.
But the answer that came back was desperate.
“I don’t use social media, so there are no records and I can’t find any traces. There is no solution left as there are no photos left, let alone mail. “We’ve been doing this for 10 years, and we’ve never seen anyone leave such a trace.”
“Well, then how do you find it? “If you can’t find it, please refund the money I gave you!”
“Don’t worry, sir. It’s not that there are no results at all. I found out the ID that a friend named Ryu Won frequently uses. Search for that ID on Goggles every day to see if any information comes up. “You can find it by creating a social media account or a game ID.”
* * *
“So, you searched that ID, found out Master’s game ID, and traced it to here?”
“That’s right.”
Yamti clicked her tongue after hearing the inside story from Bang Tae-wan.
“Ha, it’s tough, it’s tough. “You pretended to be your gaming friend for months just to get revenge.”
Ryu Won, who was listening next to him, could not help but be taken aback.
‘For some reason, when playing a game, he asked me in detail about my home address and my brother… … .’
But what was more embarrassing than that was the presence of a woman who called herself Master.
“Um, what’s the name over there?”
“Oh, I didn’t even introduce myself. “Please call me Yamti, master.”
“Yum… … belt?”
“It’s my nickname. As you can see, I am a player. “If you look at it, it looks like that, right?”
“Ah, yes… … .”
“How old do you look?”
“yes?”
“Don’t you look like you’re in your early 20s?”
“Well, that’s right.”
“As expected, Master, you have eyes to see. I did some management. But that doesn’t mean I had plastic surgery.”
“Hey, but where did we see it? Why do you keep calling me Mr. Master? … .”
“ah? Didn’t I tell you? “He’s an acquaintance of Mr. Ryu Min.”
“Brother… … ?”
Ryu Won’s eyes widened when his brother’s name was mentioned.
‘Did your brother have an acquaintance like this?’
Just like he made gaming friends, he seems to have made connections with players in the other world.
Because 9 months was longer than I thought.
‘Well, I don’t even know all of my brother’s connections.’
Yamti smiled kindly and explained how he came here.
“The master said he was meeting a friend, so he told me to follow him because he was worried about Ryu Min. That means I am the most trustworthy person to Ryu Min. Ho ho ho.”
“Well, I see.”
Now that I heard that he was an acquaintance of my brother, I finally felt reassured.
‘Did you foresee this situation?’
Anyway, I survived thanks to the foresight of my brother, who was a prophet.
“Thank you, Yum… … Mr. Belt. “Thanks to you, I survived.”
“Hey, I didn’t do anything. “I was able to stop it because Ryu Min told me to go there in advance.”
“I guess I should thank my brother too.”
Ryu Won, who was grinning, looked at Bang Tae-wan, who was standing there awkwardly.
“But how did you do it? I’m not the type of person to talk so obediently… … .”
“It’s my ability. “You can captivate people in an instant and make them your subordinates.”
“Ah, so… … .”
Ryu Won, who had finally finished understanding the situation, shook his head and asked.
“But are you really my brother’s acquaintance? “Aren’t we dating?”
“oh? Does it look like that?”
“That’s not it, I’m not even married to my brother, but you keep calling me ‘young master’… … .”
“Huh, I don’t know if I’ll get married or not. “Future master.”
“yes?”
“I’m kidding, I’m kidding. By the way, master?”
Yamti brought the mind-controlled Bang Tae-wan to the front.
“What do you want to do with this trash? Would you like me to give you a knife? “You need to vent your anger.”
“Yeah? Well, that’s a bit… … .”
“Don’t worry about falling behind. It can be easily cleaned up by erasing traces, and no one will care if one piece of trash like this dies. I tried to kill you first, but are you going to leave me alone? At the very least, you should at least hit him like a punching bag.”
“Uhm… … Well, I’m scared of hitting people… … .”
Ryu Won has never hit anyone in his life.
I have never felt angry or angry at anyone.
When I hit him, he just cowered and stayed down.
Of course I couldn’t help but be scared.
‘Even though we are brothers, your personality is completely different from your master’s?’
I didn’t understand why they didn’t want to be punished, but I decided to respect it.
Because you are the future master.
“I will respect your opinion, Master. But I can’t release this guy. “I have to inform Ryu Min of the situation and ask his opinion.”
“Ah, yes. Do by that way.”
“trash. “Remain quiet while I talk on the phone.”
“Yes, master.”
Ryu Won, who was looking curiously at Bang Tae-wan, who had become an obedient doll, glanced at Yamti, who was looking at her cell phone.
‘You’re bewitching people and making them your subordinates…’ … . ‘This is why the player says it’s dangerous.’
While I was thinking that this was truly a scary ability, Yamti suddenly raised his head.
“young master?”
“yes?”
“But how old do I really look?”
* * *
“Heo-eok, heo-eok.”
I moved without stopping, and my breathing came out harshly.
I don’t even know how many minutes have passed.
In Joo Seong-tak’s mind, the only thought was to touch that guy.
but.
Swish- Swish-
‘That bastard has never been caught…’ … !’
No matter how many times I waved my hands, kicked, faked, and tried everything I could, he avoided me like a ghost.
It’s been a long time since I threw away the heavy dagger.
With just one touch with his bare hand, Joo Seong-tak wins.
Then the system can make it its slave.
‘If I make you a slave, I will make you apologize to me and then kill you very painfully.’
But things did not go as expected.
“Why are you so slow? “We need to move a little faster.”
“This bastard… … !”
“Oh my, is the snout still alive? If you have the stamina to swear, you should at least save it and think about touching it. Tsk tsk.”
“You f*cking idiot!”
Ryu Min deliberately increased the drug and caused Joo Seong-tak to lose more stamina.
No matter how great the stat difference is, Ryumin is still dangerous when using the Curse of Fear.
‘If you get caught, you won’t be able to move for 3.4 seconds.’
Due to the penalty of not being able to wear equipment, the current resistance was very low.
Since the basic resistance is 15% and the resistance obtained from the tower is only 20%, when applied as a multiplication operation, it only provides 32% defense.
‘In other words, the chance of being cursed with fear is 68%, and the duration when struck is 3.4 seconds.’
Can’t move for 3.4 seconds in a duel where one carelessness can lead to defeat?
If caught, it should be considered fatal.
Therefore, when he casts a curse, I deal with him using a strategy of increasing distance.
‘Now I have to finish it soon.’
Tap, tap, tap, tap-
Ryu Min completed the number of touches while avoiding Joo Seong-tak’s hand gestures.
Head, back, shoulders, arms, etc.
While dodging, he touched Joo Seong-tak’s body as if making fun of him.
“f*ck, why isn’t it right! why!”
The guy struggled, but the number of attempts continued and before he knew it, he had reached number 99.
“One more touch and I win.”
“What the f*ck!”
It was a time when Joo Seong-tak was embarrassed.
Thump thump thump thump thump!
A knock on the front door was heard and a voice was heard outside.
He was a gangster downstairs.
“Hey, you disabled bastard! come out! “I can’t take a nap because of you, you f*cking idiot!”
It looks like he couldn’t stand the constant noise between floors and came up.
“Come out! Isn’t it coming out? What are you doing, jumping around, damn it, you idiot with no legs! Come out! “If you’re a player and a fool, I’m going to kill you!”
The gangster shouted loudly, but Joo Seong-tak actually had a smile on his face.
Because his existence was the hope to turn the unfavorable situation around.
Taaa-!
Joo Seong-tak quickly ran to the front door and tried to open it.
Ryumin, who had already read the plan, rushed over, but the moment the guy looked at him.
[The status abnormality is ‘fear’.]
Unfortunately, I fell under the curse of fear written by Joo Seong-tak.
Of course, I expected that and kept the distance wide enough, so I didn’t get touched.
Clap-
That was enough time for Joo Seong-tak to open the front door.
“Now you’re opening the door, you f*cking bastard. I told you to be quiet… … “Crunch!”
The dagger swung quickly pierced the neck of gangster Kim Jong-seon and escaped.
dump-
Joo Seong-tak, who secured the body in an instant, stepped over the body and went out into the hallway.
It became a structure where Joo Seong-tak and Ryu Min faced off with a corpse in between them.
“Tsk tsk, come here, you bastard. “The moment you get close, I’ll explode your corpse right away.”
“It’s getting annoying. But you know what?”
Disrupted-
An electric current flowed from Ryumin’s body.
“Even if you explode a corpse, you can just avoid it.”
“f*ck you? what? “They say I can’t use skills because of the penalty!”
“Is this a rune?”
Ryumin, who amplified his movement speed with the lightning rune, quickly closed the distance.
Joo Seong-tak, who was shocked, belatedly tried to memorize the starter word.
“Body width… … .”
Bah!
There was no bird to use the skill.
Joo Seong-tak, whose face was crushed by the tremendous force, was thrown into the wall and died instantly.
[The duel is over. This is the victory of ‘Black Scythe’.]
[Since the opponent has been defeated, he becomes a slave and obeys ‘Black Scythe’ as his master for the rest of his life.]
Ryu Min, ignoring the message that came to mind, looked at Joo Seong-tak.
The face of the guy who was thought to be dead was suddenly restored.
He was revived because it was a duel that did not risk his life.
Even though I couldn’t come to my senses.
“I won. Although there were casualties.”
Although the corpse explosion was prevented, the death of the gangster was not prevented.
Putting his sorrow aside, Ryumin got rid of the body by erasing traces.
Just then, the phone rang from Yamti.
“what’s the matter? what? “My younger brother?”
Ryu Min, who had heard that something had happened to his younger brother and that luckily he had prevented it, asked the whole story.
“okay? “You haven’t killed him yet and left him alone?”
-yes. What should I do? master.
When asked whether Bang Tae-wan would be dealt with, Ryu Min gave a simple answer.
“I’ll send you the address, so send it here.”
I hung up the phone and immediately woke up Joo Seong-tak.
“Hey, Joo Seong-tak.”
“Hmm?”
The guy who looked like he was going to rush at Ryu Min as soon as he saw him quickly lowered his head like a gentle sheep.
“I see you, my lord. Please give me orders.”
“okay. “This is the first command.”
Ryumin said with a cruel smile.
“In a little while, a guy named Bang Tae-wan will be here. “Kill him.”
