Chapter 34

Revenge (2)

“What, Kang Hyeon?”

An Yu-seong’s eyes widened at Kang Hyeon’s unexpected appearance.

“It’s been a while.”

The two of them, who had only been in occasional contact since their ability users cultivation school, were facing each other for the first time.

Kang Hyeon was also surprised by An Yu-seong’s unexpected appearance.

“Were you also in the Bait Guild?”

The An Yu-seong that Kang Hyeon knew was certainly crazy, but at least not a man to be swayed by money.

As an already incredibly wealthy young master, he had no reason to be greedy for money.

‘Could it be that the company backing the Bait Guild is his family...’

Kim Tae-soo had definitely mentioned that an unknown massive amount of funds was flowing into the Bait Guild.

If An Yu-seong’s family was extremely wealthy, it was entirely possible.

“What are you talking about, Kang Hyeon? It’s disappointing if you associate me with these thug bastards.”

“What? Then why are you here?”

Kang Hyeon’s confusion grew at An Yu-seong’s response.

“Isn’t it fun to see that pride-only trash Jeong Eui-hyeon beg while bowing down?”

“...”

“Plus, I came because there was a chance to have some action, killing two birds with one stone.”

Kang Hyeon couldn’t fully understand his words, but he got the general idea.

This madman just came because he wanted to fight.

“Sorry, but I’m a bit busy. I need to quickly deal with those guys and go somewhere else. Don’t interfere and get out.”

Kim Il-woo’s pupils shook violently as he listened to the conversation between Kang Hyeon and An Yu-seong.

‘Something’s wrong.’

From the circumstances, it seemed that Kang Hyeon and An Yu-seong were more than acquaintances, even having quite a friendship.

Feeling anxious, Kim Il-woo hurriedly approached An Yu-seong.

“Mr. An Yu-seong! What are you doing now? Hurry and deal with that guy as promised!”

An Yu-seong glared coldly at Kim Il-woo.

“Who are you to order me around, you trash-eating waste?”

After speaking, An Yu-seong raised his mace.

“W-What?! You bas-!”

Kim Il-woo started to curse at the sight, but before he could finish his words, the mace struck.

-Crack

The brutal mace with huge nails instantly blew away Kim Il-woo’s head.

“Ahhh!”

“Save me!”

The other Bait Guild members also met their end by An Yu-seong’s mace.

“Is this enough now? Actually, I didn’t like these trash either. Heheh.”

“...”

As all the Bait Guild members, who were the original targets, died, Kang Hyeon immediately turned his back.

“Kang Hyeon. What are you doing now?”

“I’m busy. I need to quickly clear the dungeon, erase the evidence, and go to other places too.”

An Yu-seong frowned at Kang Hyeon’s words.

“I can’t let you go just like that.”

“...”

“I’ve been waiting for quite a while. Are you going to leave after getting me all fired up like this?”

“So...?”

Kang Hyeon’s eyes lit up at An Yu-seong’s words.

“Hmm... Let’s do this. If you fight me and win, I’ll help you crush the Bait Guild. I know higher-level information than these small fries.”

At An Yu-seong’s words, Kang Hyeon silently activated his skills.

As he used ‘Giant’s Strength’ and ‘Wayne’s Secret Technique’, power surged through his entire body.

“Wow! How much of a monster have you become? Kekeke, Hahaha! This is too good!”

As Kang Hyeon used his skills with the intention to fight seriously, An Yu-seong’s instincts rang wildly.

Never before had his instincts reacted this intensely.

“Even if it’s you, I won’t go easy.”

Perhaps this fight might not be of any help.

At least, he could try to persuade An Yu-seong with words.

However, Kang Hyeon didn’t want to do that.

‘It’s been a while since I’ve had a proper fight with a strong opponent, that Kim Yi-hyeon.’

This kind of battle gives a completely different thrill compared to fights where weak guys come at you in groups.

Kang Hyeon’s lips curled up unconsciously.

“Here I come!”

As soon as he spoke, An Yu-seong rushed forward like a bullet.

Whatever skill he used, his speed momentarily approached the level of Kang Hyeon using Wayne’s Secret Technique.

That speed was by far the best among all the enemies he had met so far.

-Clang!

As Kang Hyeon’s sword and An Yu-seong’s mace collided, an unbelievable sound rang out that was hard to believe was metal hitting metal.

‘Strength, speed. Everything is above me.’

An Yu-seong noticed everything with just one collision.

He wasn’t just a madman.

He was a madman with innate talent for fighting.

Even without his unique ability of instinct, he could tell that Kang Hyeon’s physical specs were ridiculous just from a moment of movement.

‘The mace won’t work.’

An Yu-seong, who retreated using the recoil from the clash, put away his mace.

“I don’t have anything like that. Heh.”

They continued such pointless conversation for a while.

“Hey. Let’s stop with the useless talk.”

Kang Hyeon brought up the main point during a moment when the conversation had paused.

“Let’s talk about Jeong Eui-hyeon now.”

At Kang Hyeon’s words, An Yu-seong opened his mouth.

“Umm, bro. You know Chairman Jeong Sang-soo of Hanseok?”

“Hanseok? That food company?”

“Yes.”

Even for Kang Hyeon, who wasn’t interested in current affairs, it was a name he couldn’t help but know.

Hanseok, Korea’s largest food company. Jeong Sang-soo was its chairman.

“Jeong Eui-hyeon is Chairman Jeong Sang-soo’s hidden illegitimate child.”

Kang Hyeon chuckled at the story that seemed like it could only come from a morning drama.

“What could a guy like that possibly lack to run such a guild?”

“It’s Jeong Eui-hyeon’s greed. It seems Chairman Jeong Sang-soo is supporting him because he’s his child after all.”

Kang Hyeon nodded at An Yu-seong’s words.

“So what are you going to do now?”

“What else? Cut off the remaining hands and feet and go beat him up.”

“Can I join in?”

Kang Hyeon gave a suspicious look at An Yu-seong’s request to join.

“What for?”

“Because it sounds fun?”

“Tsk, do as you please.”

Although he couldn’t understand the reason, Kang Hyeon allowed it. After all, trying to understand An Yu-seong’s thoughts was nonsensical in itself.

“What did you just say?”

Jeong Eui-hyeon made an expression of genuine incomprehension.

“Another attack...”

“Another, attack, yes. Go on, keep talking.”

Kim Hyeon-woo trembled as he faced Jeong Eui-hyeon, whose eyes had completely rolled back, right in front of him.

“I’m sorry!”

“Aaargh!”

-Bang! Bang!

The office furniture started to shatter instantly due to Jeong Eui-hyeon’s rampage.

“Why isn’t that bastard An Yu-seong answering his phone?!”

“I think he might have been taken down...”

“Taken down? That An Yu-seong, taken down?!”

An Yu-seong might be crazy, but his skills were certain.

Among all the people he had met so far, there hadn’t been a single person who could beat him one-on-one.

‘No, there was just one time.’

Kang Hyeon.

The man who didn’t move according to his intentions and eventually had to be killed.

But that guy was definitely dead.

Although the corpse disappeared, that didn’t mean he had come back to life.

‘I thought his colleagues were up to something...’

It seemed too powerful to be his own ability, so he thought there must be a colleague supporting him.

Therefore, he naturally thought that the disappearance of the corpse was a measure taken by his colleagues to retrieve the equipment.

‘Is it the work of his colleagues? Or could it be that he didn’t die back then?’

No matter how much he thought about it, nothing was certain.

‘Now it’s really dangerous. If I’m not careful, the story might leak to father.’

Initially, he was able to create a huge guild at once with the funds his father, Jeong Sang-soo, provided.

However, if more people died, the story might reach Jeong Sang-soo’s ears.

No, perhaps it had already reached them.

‘I can’t fail like this...’

Finally, Jeong Eui-hyeon chose his last resort.

-Hello?

“It’s me.”

Jeong Eui-hyeon spoke tensely at the voice coming from the other end of the phone.

-Yes. What’s the matter?

“I need support. With very strong guys.”

-Haven’t I already given you the promised support? It’s troublesome if you keep doing this.

As the voice unfiltered its annoyed emotions, veins popped on Jeong Eui-hyeon’s forehead.

“The guild is about to be destroyed! Aren’t we business partners?! Why are you just sitting there as if it’s someone else’s problem!”

Unable to hold back anymore, Jeong Eui-hyeon shouted.

-Mr. Jeong Eui-hyeon.

However, despite Jeong Eui-hyeon’s excited words, the voice on the phone remained calm.

-We’ll help you right away, so don’t worry and wait.

“Really...?”

-Yes. We’ll send support.

Only then did a look of relief appear on Jeong Eui-hyeon’s face.

“Then I’ll ask for it right away.”
