Chapter 20: Black Scythe (1)

Chapter 20: Black Scythe (1)

Hwang Yong-min was totally taken aback when the Black Scythe appeared.

What the heck?! Why is this guy here? he wondered to himself.

To make things worse, he had just run into the first-place winner from the last round.

But what really caught his attention was the massive scythe the Black Scythe had slung over his back. That thing looked absolutely menacing.

What are you doing here? Ryu Min asked.

Why dont you just mind your own business and leave us alone? Hwang Yong-min replied.

Hey quiet, I didnt ask you, the Black Scythe said, turning his gaze towards An Sang-cheol. Im asking you. Whats going on?

An Sang-cheol felt like he was at the end of his rope. Th-these guys chased and attacked us, theyre targeted Arin! If you help us out, Black Scythe, well make it worth your while!

Things werent looking good at all. This is why he had to swallow his pride and ask for help.

Ryu Min scanned the crowd, taking in the fear on Seo Arins face and the excitement on Hwang Yong-mins.

I get it, Ryu Min said, piecing together the situation. In this world where there are no taboos, Seo Arins good looks were enough to make any sick guy excited.

This was a world where criminals could get away with murder, even between players.

Ryu Min turned his attention to Hwang Yong-min. Is what he said true?

Its none of your business whether its true or not. Just leave us alone, Hwang Yong-min said.

It does concern me. Someone I know is involved, Ryu Min said, stepping between An Sang-cheol and Hwang Yong-mins group.

He had taken a clear stance. Seo Arin and An Sang-cheol were secretly impressed by Ryu Mins boldness. Little did they know, Ryu Min had his own motives.

This is my chance to make a good impression on Ma Kyung-rok, Ryu Min thought to himself. If he could save Ma Kyung-roks right-hand man, then surely Ma Kyung-rok would be pleased. Plus, he could also use this opportunity to have An Sang-cheol owe him a favor without requiring anything in return.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Making someone like Ma Kyung-rok indebted to me will lead to a great reward, Ryu Min thought to himself.

Most importantly, he couldnt let Hwang Yong-mins group, one of the types of people Ryu Min despised the most, get away with this kind of thing.

They were the kind of people who deserved punishment.

When Ryu Min approached with his scythe, Hwang Yong-min raised his hand, looking surprised.

W-what are you doing? If you come any closer, I wont let you get away with it! Hwang Yong-min threatened.

Are you that scared of me? Ryu Min smirked.

Damn, of course, I am! Hwang Yong-min thought to himself.

Hwang Yong-min was at a loss for words.

The Black Scythe, who was known for being that guy who slaughtered goblins like a madman in the first round.

Itll be troublesome if I win too easily, wont it?

Ha, this bastard.

As he stopped in disbelief,

Thwack!

Ryu Min suddenly rushed in.

Yong-min was startled, but only for a moment.

You stupid idiot, youre dead!

He swung his fist, but it only grazed Ryu Mins cheek.

Thwack!

Instead, Yong-min got hit on the head with a front kick and staggered.

Ugh, you bastard!

There was no time to curse because Ryu Mins sidekick landed on his chin.

Ugh.

His head was spinning.

And he suddenly felt like someone was climbing on top of him.

Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!

Pounding punches rained down on Yong-mins head.

It felt like getting hit by a hammer each time.

This guys strength is similar to mine?

He couldnt even believe a ridiculous thought like that.

He couldnt think because he was hit six times without being able to land a single punch.

It was embarrassing.

This bastard!

He screamed in anger and struggled.

Finally, Ryu Min jumped off.

You lost!
