Episode 38

Kang Tae-min finished his preparations and waited for Ju Tae-ji to come. However, he had no intention of meeting Joo Tae-ji face to face.

‘It’s better to keep your distance from the old man.’

Isn’t this the image of Iron Judgment, not Taemin Kang, an academy teacher?

Even though he was weaker than the Changhwang he knew, the Changhwang of 10 years ago, there was nothing good about it because he was wrongly entangled.

Because of this, he left Jang Seung-ho on the roof of the company building and looked at the roof from above.

Thanks to the scope attached to the suit, it was possible to observe from a distance.

‘I’m sure he’ll come alone.’

Kang Tae-min expected that Ju Tae-ji would not tell anyone about this fact.

There was no reason for him to lend a hand to the Association without taking revenge himself. If the association arrested Jang Seung-ho, Ju Da-hyeon would know the whole story.

‘Like Irua, I will embrace Ju Taiji himself.’

How great the pain Ju Da-hyun must feel when she finds out that her parents died because of her uncle.

The situation was as he expected.

Suddenly, the roof door opened and Ju Tae-ji appeared.

He looked at the elevator lying on the roof and immediately looked around.

However, even Changhwang could not find Kang Taemin. It was because he did not know that he would be watching him from above.

Ju Taiji soon twisted the elevator door. It’s quite a thick door, but it opened and bent like a piece of paper.

“Jang Seung-ho…”

Ju Taiji shuddered. Inside the elevator was Jang Seung-ho, whose limbs were restrained.

“Did you, did you really kill my son and daughter-in-law… your brother-in-law and brother?”

The blood drained from Jang Seung-ho’s face. Even if I tried to suppress it, the anger that leaked out was burned.

The reason why I didn’t get out right away was because I hoped that this was a misunderstanding or that there was some other reason.

“Mo, it’s a moham…!”

Jang Seung-ho also decided to cling to that mind. He screamed madly.

“Hey, it’s the plate he made up! I don’t even know why I said that. Uh, maybe it’s an ability like brainwashing…!”

But the words didn’t go any further. The elevator wall collapsed with a loud thud.

Ju Taiji was startled and prepared to respond immediately. But there were no attacks.

Letters protruded like reliefs from the curved wall, and a smartphone was placed in the direction the arrow pointed.

“Hey, guild leader?”

Jang Seung-ho couldn’t see behind him. Ju Tae-ji grabbed his smartphone with his nerves upright.

<Ha, but the only thing I killed was me and my husband. Two, I heard that the two were a show window couple. The client said so.>

What comes out of the video is Sweet Toxin’s voice. What Kang Tae-min kept on the wall was her transcript.

‘Oh, no···.’

Even without looking back, Jang Seung-ho sensed that his life was short. The aura that emanated from behind was sharp and terrifying.

Ju Taiji will kill himself.

I was convinced when I saw Ju Tae-ji’s expression when he returned.

‘If that’s the case, if this is what happened…!’

Jang Seung-ho’s face was distorted. It was the judge’s version.

“It’s mine. mine!”

“You bastard…!”

“I, I raised the guild! I couldn’t sleep, and I lived soaked in overtime every day!”

Jang Seung-ho, who revealed his true colors before his death, was unstoppable. There was blood in his gleaming eyes.

“Hunter, don’t like money? Who’s going to get the gate order? Do you know who owes everything you enjoy!”

His voice cracked. The calm head of the management office had already disappeared.

“It’s okay to fight for your life, is this? Is it natural to enjoy such luxury? ok? Then, do you know how many lives are in my hands!? Do you guys even know who cleans up the poop you’ve built up!”

With the sound of a pairing, the face turned around. The intense pain made Jang Seung-ho faint.

“You fool…”

Ju Taiji clenched his fists. It was more of disgust than anger.

“Didn’t I tell you? He said that Dahyun respects his opinion, but if Dahyun refused the successor position, I was thinking of finding someone else…”

Jang Seung-ho spat the blood in his mouth. And then he burst into laughter.

“Isn’t that me?”

“I tried to make you Dahyun’s godfather. Even if that child becomes the heir, how would I know…!”

“So, you’re just a guardian, right? In the end, she must be the one who gets her hands on the guild.”

Jang Seung-ho smiled like a maniac, exposing blood-stained teeth.

“Fortunately, on the subject of damnation… I, if only I had awakened… each… sex…”

Jang Seung-ho, who had been muttering so much, suddenly lowered his head. A mixture of blood and saliva dripped down it.

Taiji’s eyes narrowed.

‘what···?’

There was something odd about his gut feeling. It felt like something damp and filthy clung to my whole body.

Kang Tae-min, who was watching the scene, also hardened his face.

[KalㅁA log]

[Name O – Jang Seung-ho]

[ALIGNMENT – AK(-###)]

[Super language I 7ㅣRecorded karma activities]

[> #Value!]

‘What is this?’

Isn’t the karma log that looked good just a moment ago strangely appearing?

Sensing the change, he acted immediately.

In reality, a change was taking place.

“My dear. turn it off uh.”

Jang Seung-ho’s body twisted and a disparate voice broke out of his mouth. In addition, black crystals began to bloom like flowers on the skin.

However, the change did not last long.

It was because Ju Taiji immediately threw out the spear. Changgeuk, which rushed in in an instant, reached Jang Seung-ho’s stomach.

However, Changgeuk could not go any further. The crystals that engulfed Jang Seung-ho’s body were protecting him like armor.

But Taiji Ju was not taken aback.

“I apologize to both of you.”

A blue light gleamed in those narrowed eyes. Along with that, a loud bang came from the changgeuk.

‘The old man’s ability is still the same.’

Kang Tae-min could see it while descending. A huge wave transmitted through a changgeuk.

It was Changhwang and Jutaeji’s awakening ability, ‘Quake Impact’. Even if an attack is blocked, the ability to deliver the impact back to the target in the form of a wave.

Even if you block it, the shock is transmitted intact, so it was a difficult power even for Kang Tae-min, who can change his body into steel.

“Well···!”

As Jang Seung-ho’s body turned to powder and disappeared, Ju Tae-ji sensed Kang Tae-min’s presence and hurriedly withdrew.

It was even more strange not to be wary of the iron man who fell from the sky.

“you···!?”

Ju Taiji grabbed the spear and took a stance. Although that iron man revealed Jang Seung-ho’s crimes, there was no guarantee that he was not an enemy.

“Reveal your identity!”

Kang Tae-min did not respond to Joo Tae-ji’s words. Instead, he absorbed the restraints and elevators he had made.

The black crystal powder was blown away by the wind with a fuss sound. Only Jang Seung-ho’s suit, which had become rags, was swept to the floor.

“If you don’t want to answer…”

No matter what Ju Tae-ji said, Kang Tae-min’s gaze was focused on the place where Jang Seung-ho was.

‘What is this?’

There was something bulging between the suits. It was a crystal similar to the black crystal that had grown from Jang Seung-ho’s body, but slightly larger than it.

Kang Tae-min manifested his ability and put it in a small iron box.

“I have no choice but to open my mouth!”

The emperor rushed towards him. However, Kang Tae-min had no desire to fight Ju Tae-ji.

Because of this, he soared straight into the sky.

“this guy!”

Taiji Zhu was angry, but he did not have the ability to fly. In the end, I had no choice but to watch Kang Tae-min go away.

“How can this…”

Ju Taiji hardened his face. He looked down at his tattered suit and picked up his smartphone.

“…Director.”

<What are you doing?>

The other party on the phone was Bae Seung-ju, the head of the association’s headquarters. Ju Taiji continued with a serious voice.

“Looks like he experimented on non-awakened people as well.”

<… you mean “No Name”?>

“Okay, send someone to the office building. And···.”

Joo Tae-ji looked in the direction where Kang Tae-min disappeared and concluded his words.

“Looks like someone’s after him again.”

* * *

I came straight home with that decision. I felt the clone lying on the bed after work.

Of course, he doesn’t need sleep. It must have been camouflage to avoid being watched by Irua.

It was a wise move.

“I am here.”

“Oh, are you here?”

Clone jumped up. He can’t use his abilities, so he can’t even detect them.

It meant that even if Irua was hiding in the shadows, there was no way to know.

“what’s the matter? Did the old man even forgive him?”

Clone asked with a serious face. Maybe my expression wasn’t that good?

“Something strange happened.”

I put the iron box I had brought on the table. And opened it with power, revealing the black crystal.

“···what is this?”

“do not know.”

“I know what I don’t know. I am you.”

“But let’s think about it from different angles.”

It was the reason I didn’t absorb the clone right away. Wouldn’t it be better to think with the same head than to think alone?

Dual core is better than single core. So I briefly described what I saw.

“…then is this by any chance? The ‘seed’ of No Name?”

“It is very likely.”

I thought so far too.

Jang Seung-ho’s maniacal obsession, and the evil he committed without hesitation. In addition, even the Karma Log, which suddenly seemed to be broken.

All of that may be due to the influence of the seed.

“However, unlike the Mimic Predator, the form remains.”

“Can’t you do something like that because you’re a non-awakened person? Even real seeds cover the soil.”

“Is it like a side effect?”

“I’ll look into it first.”

I didn’t touch it because I didn’t know how it worked. If a clone touches it, the risk is low.

I nodded and he grabbed the crystal.

“…nothing has changed.”

“Maybe it doesn’t react to inorganics.”

It was the man who had the seed. Since the clones were mechanical dolls, there was a possibility that they would not respond.

“Did you look at your abilities?”

“It cannot be sensed or controlled. It doesn’t look like metal.”

“Hmm… Hey, where can you find metal like this?”

I’ve been observing it since daylight, but I couldn’t figure out anything. We decided to stop the investigation for now.

“I think it will need the help of an expert.”

“I agree.”

“Then, that’s it.”

“Yes, Irua might come.”

“Good job.”

“You did a good job too.”

I joined hands with the clone. He came back to my body and passed on my memories.

···Soyul’s potion still tastes like mint chocolate.

A few days passed.

Jang Seung-ho was treated as missing because there was no body left. Ju Da-hyeon was saddened by his uncle’s disappearance, but Ju Tai-ji eventually buried the truth.

In the meantime, an official letter came down from the association. It was about selecting and preparing people to participate in the upcoming Youth Hunter Championship.

As the representative of Noblesse Academy, it was expected that, of course, he would be selected for the top class, the special class.

Of course, it was not confirmed.

It was because the midterm exam at Noblesse Academy was the selection match for the Youth Hunter Championship.

Regardless of whether the academy was excited or not, the training of Kang Tae-min and the special class was the same as usual.

However, Kang Tae-min has more work to do.

‘It was here.’

An old commercial building attached to the corner of a traditional market, and a small pawnshop located inside.

An old man with wrinkles and a woman who looked like a college student were in the middle of preparing for business. A man with a thick appearance entered there.

It was a body that Kang Tae-min shaped for disguise by referring to the previous owner’s appearance.

“Oh, come on.”

The old man who was dusting off greeted him with a grin. Taemin Kang took a quick look around the pawnshop before opening his mouth.

“I came to drop off my stuff.”

“Yes, what is it?”

Taemin Kang took out a bill in front of the old man. It was a one-dollar bill, not Korean money.

“···What is this?”

The old man raised his head with a puzzled face. However, Kang Tae-min was still calm.

“It is your job to evaluate the value.”

With those words, the old man crumpled his face.

“What, what crazy…! Unlucky starting with the witch hook!”

He groaned and turned to the woman.

“Honey, bring the salt! salt!”

She went inside the burinake and grabbed a handful of salt. Kang Tae-min left the bill and came out.

Salt was thrown on his back with a loud bang. The woman who threw the salt glanced up and down Kang Tae-min and then went back.

Kang Tae-min brushed off the lightly stained salt and looked around. It didn’t feel popular.

‘Okay.’

Kang Tae-min followed behind the woman who had disappeared. There was another door there.

He opens the door and goes in.

“Welcome to.”

“Welcome.”

Unbelievable polite attitude for an old man who had been angry just a moment ago, and a woman who welcomes her warmly, unlike when she sprinkled salt.

The attitudes of the two were as different as flipping the palms of their hands.

“Who did you get the password from?”

Kang Tae-min did not answer the old man’s question. Instead, he took out the iron box he had brought and held it out.

And he turned his gaze toward the woman, not the old man.

“I want to know what this is.”

“…you know too much for a new face?”

Taemin Kang laughed at her reaction.

The woman’s name was ‘Miss Backdoor’, an intelligence and appraiser, and the old man was called ‘Mr. Rock’, her escort.

To confirm the true nature of these two, they had to go through passwords and tests.

‘I have no choice but to know.’

Before returning, these two maintained a good cooperative relationship with Kang Tae-min.

‘Because I was a good customer.’

It was because I bought all the information I couldn’t get from the association from her.
