Chapter 75: Karma (4)

“What kind of nonsense is this? Can’t you even drive properly?”

“Well, this is...”

A total of ten people jumped out of the car.

They looked at the leading vehicle with aggressive eyes, but soon wore perplexed expressions.

“Oh.”Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com

It was because they noticed Yeongwoo standing in front of the leading vehicle, as well as the Iron Horse and patrol car in the adjacent lane.

“...”

Suddenly, silence fell.

However, the eyes of the eleven people, including those at the forefront, were moving restlessly.

They were assessing the combat power of these unexpected outsiders.

Since the reset, even legitimate complaints had to be handled carefully in this world.

One could easily provoke the powerful and end up losing their life.

Moreover, how would they deal with this somewhat forced problem this time?

“Um... sir.”

Finally, a man who seemed to be the leader of the eleven cautiously spoke up.

It seemed he wanted to show respect, as it appeared the other party was not an ordinary person.

“Although it may not have been intentional, you have obstructed our passage. We need some compensation. Our cars are all wrecked...”

Upon hearing this, Yeongwoo smirked while looking at the badly damaged cars.

“...Me?”

Of course, he understood what the other party was saying.

However, they had been stationary, leaving one lane completely empty.

If the driver of the leading vehicle hadn’t been startled by Negwig, such an accident wouldn’t have happened.

So, based on common sense, this was a matter to be settled among the eleven.

Swiftly, as Yeongwoo silently shifted his gaze to the leading vehicle, the driver, who was still holding the steering wheel, tensed up.

“It’s regrettable that an accident occurred, but... I don’t think I should be held responsible. Either continue on your way as is, or...”

Yeongwoo didn’t elaborate further, but everyone in the vicinity understood.

If there was dissatisfaction, they would fight it out according to the ways of this world.

‘That guy definitely has something up his sleeve.’

The expressions of the eleven turned cold.

It was partly due to Yeongwoo’s provocation, but mostly because they were already heavily tense.

How strong would one have to be to show such audacity?

“...”

After a brief silence following Yeongwoo’s provocation, Taeyoung, who was not accustomed to such events, stepped down from the patrol car and bowed his head to the group of eleven.

“I believe there is some degree of responsibility for the accident, so I will apologize on behalf of our party.”

An apology on a diplomatic level.

He also didn’t want to witness eleven murders happening right in front of him.

Even though the law had become somewhat ineffective in this world, he was still a police officer after all.

However, the eleven didn’t easily back down.

“No... verbal apologies are meaningless, right? And technically, isn’t this a non-contact accident? We should at least have some compensation to consider any concessions.”

As the leader of the eleven said this, he continuously observed Yeongwoo’s expression.

In a situation where the power balance between both sides was unclear, they were testing how far they could push things.

Of course, if Yeongwoo were a bandit, his line would not be drawn so far away.

“If we don’t negotiate?”

“Huh?”

“Are you saying if we don’t negotiate, you’ll fight to the death? If you were truly confident, you wouldn’t be wasting time like this.”

“...!”

The eleven were startled by the unexpectedly firm response.

Given that this world was filled with blusterers, it was too dangerous to take lightly.

In other words, such a response was only possible if one was truly powerful.

“I think... let’s just quietly wrap this up this time.”

Once again, the opinion of the eleven began to lean towards yielding.

Everyone present here was not aiming for monsters or mutants in Seoul, but rather skilled individuals in the Gyeonggi Province aiming for them, ranging from the second to third-tier.

Therefore, they were well aware of how high the ceiling of the concept of ‘strong’ was.

Moreover.

‘Damn... who is this guy to have such a strong vibe.’

The temporary leader of the eleven, Lee Jangho 73, gritted his teeth.

He could feel the unique aura of the Strongest Sword from the man in front of him.

‘It seems like he’s deliberately picking a fight.’

Yeongwoo didn’t know if the act itself was intended to provoke a conflict, as Jongsu had been observing the situation.

Anyway, from Yeongwoo’s perspective, he couldn’t let the guy mess with Negwig.

Swiftly, as the opponent was about to take the second step, Yeongwoo grabbed his shoulder.

Thunk!

“What do you think you’re doing? Don’t people from Seoul have any manners?”

Then, the young man who had grabbed Yeongwoo’s shoulder swung his sword as if he had been waiting for it.

“How dare this bastard...”

Or rather, he tried to swing it.

Thunk!

“What...?”

Currently, Yeongwoo’s strength stat was an impressive 1,200.

Of course, it wasn’t comparable to the Strongest Sword of Seoul, but it was enough to easily crush the bones of a novice swordsman.

However, the problem was...

“What...? Agh!”

As Yeongwoo made contact with the enemy, the effect of the golden punishment, inflicting unbearable pain, was triggered.

“Gah!”

The face of the man turned pale with unimaginable pain, and the other three young men shouted angrily.

“This crazy guy...!”

“Are you just going to stand there and watch?”

The target they requested assistance from was none other than the group of eleven.

And in the midst of this, the man spoke while grinding his teeth.

“You’re finished now. Do you know who I am?”

“...Who are you?”

As Yeongwoo retorted, his attention was already focused on the fourteen Seoul guys, excluding the pair of swords.

「The sensory stats have temporarily increased from the original 600 to 685.」

「The sensory stat has temporarily increased from 685 to 790.」

「The sensory stat has temporarily increased from 790 to 916.」

Finally, everyone unanimously decided to attack the outsider, as the sensory stat was skyrocketing crazily.

‘Seoul is definitely Seoul.’

Based on the sensory stats stolen from the opponent, the fourteen present here were skilled individuals with total stats ranging from hundreds to even a thousand.

It was enough to pick a fight with a newcomer.

But unfortunately, the outsider they encountered this time was the Strongest Sword who unified the large region of Gyeongbuk.

“You bastard, I’m...”

As the enraged pair of swords muttered his lines between his clenched teeth, Yeongwoo saw over a dozen death marks floating in his sight.

“Yahhh!”

“Die!”

The fourteen Seoul swordsmen, who had sharpened their swords, entered Yeongwoo’s striking range.

Clang!

Yeongwoo extended his right foot firmly to the ground and...

“Kyaah!”

...swung his black sword fiercely towards the rushing enemies.

*Boom!*

In an instant, the blade extended up to five meters, drawing a sinister trajectory.

The man, who had been about to proclaim his identity, clenched his mouth shut.

“Eop...?”

Because there were hardly any survivors among the spectators after that blow.

*Thud thud thud!*

Out of the fourteen, only the hesitating Lee Jangho73 remained standing still, without being drawn into the black trajectory, while the remaining thirteen were rolling on the ground, turned into piles of flesh.

“What... is this...?”

As the bewildered man mumbled, Jongsu, who was preparing for a handover, and Taeyoung, who had already drawn his gun, put down their weapons on the road.

And finally, Yeongwoo asked the question he hadn’t finished earlier.

“So, who are you?”

Instead of the pair of swords, who fell into contemplation, Lee Jangho, who had been silent, spoke.

“Wha- What did you just do? That guy’s father is Jeong Hyunsik.”

“Jeong Hyunsik?”

Yeongwoo asked with a puzzled expression, and Lee Jangho explained hesitantly.

“You really don’t know? Jeong Hyunsik... He’s the Gangnam Strongest Sword.”
