Chapter 107: What's Your Name (1)

Before Yamti kidnapped the congressman, Ryu Min, disguised as Lostyak, found himself a bit puzzled.

He was pondering when the right time would be to rescue Congressman Lee Seong-hyun. His conclusion: perhaps it was best to save him after the kidnapping had occurred.

You see, Ryu Min had a particular strategy in mind. He figured that dealing with Yamti and the rest of the miscreants prematurely might not be the wisest move. Who would appreciate his efforts if no one even knew about the kidnapping?

This situation presented an opportunity, a golden chance to thrust the name of the enigmatic Black Scythe into the publics awareness. While Black Scythe was a renowned entity among players, it was virtually unknown to the general populace. In fact, some voices in the public sphere were quick to criticize players as a whole.

Among those voices stood Congressman Lee Seong-hyun, leading the charge against criminal players. Yet, Ryu Min, having built a friendship with him in the past, understood the congressman better than most. He knew the hardships his one and only son had endured and the complex feelings he harbored towards players. This insight enabled Ryu Min to grasp the nuances of the situation better than anyone else and discern the right course of action.

Its imperative to change Congressman Lee Seong-hyuns perspective, Ryu Min thought. He aimed to make people see that not all players were villains. He wanted to demonstrate that utilizing the abilities of players for noble purposes was an opportunity too good to pass up.

Why? You might ask. Well, Ryu Min had a vision. He foresaw a day when he would stand as the representative of players, and he knew that securing the support of the general public was crucial for this endeavor.

If Congressman Lee Seong-hyun came to his aid, Ryu Min believed that ordinary citizens would readily rally behind Black Scythe. Consequently, he bided his time, refraining from taking action until the kidnapping unfolded.

Or so it seemed on the surface. In truth, he was quietly orchestrating events from behind the scenes. His current mission? Shadowing Song Jaegyeom, the chairman of Player Haven Caf.

Ryu Min was well aware of the critical point when Congressman Lee Seong-hyun would become vulnerable when the six criminals hired by the chairman would spring into action.

The Chairmans script dictated that they would intervene only after these criminals publicly executed the congressman. As a result, Ryu Min had no reason to fret as long as the cabin remained free of criminal activity.

Ryu Mins decision to use the invisibility skill and tail Song Jaegyeom stemmed from this understanding.

Whats the chairmans role? To pick up the criminals.

Hey there, boss. Are you seriously tripling our payment once the jobs done?

Indeed.

Suspicion crept in, and one of the criminals asked cautiously, Youre not planning to scam us at the last minute, are you?

A sly smile played across Song Jaegyeoms face as he reassured them, If you cant do it, just say so now. Ill transfer the 25 million won to someone else.

Laughter erupted from the criminals. Haha, youre quite impatient. I was just asking a question.

When have we ever said we wouldnt do it?

In todays world, taking a life is hardly a big deal.

Money matters dominated the conversation, flowing effortlessly from the lips of the criminals. After all, their lives had spiraled into ruin, and in their eyes, racking up 100 million won by ending a single life seemed like a steal.

Ryu Min couldnt help but sigh at the realization. Whether they were players or regular folks, there always seemed to be trash lurking around.

With such thoughts in mind, Ryu Min patiently awaited the opportune moment.

Then, suddenly, a soft chime signaled that the time had come. It was a call for Song Jaegyeom. Yes, yes, Yamti-nim, Song Jaegyeom responded, I understand. Ill take him now.

Upon ending the call, Song Jaegyeom directed his bodyguards, Gather everyone here and follow me.

The bodyguards acknowledged the order, but before they could react further, they faltered and collapsed, much to their shock.

Whats happening Ugh? one of them managed to groan before losing consciousness.

In that case, theres only one way, Ryu Min thought.

He decided to use the one-time-use Realitys Dominion on Yamti. Im not sorry to see it go. Dominating Yamti will grant me another Authority anyway if not a better one without the restrictions.

Yamti, become my slave.

As Yamtis eyes glazed over, a message appeared.

[All uses of Real Worlds Dominion have been exhausted.]

[Temporary Skill Dominion]

Remaining Uses: 8

Targets: Black Scythe, Yamti

[Unused Authority can be employed in the otherworld.]

[Temporary skill Dominion is hidden from the skill window.]

With this, Ryu Min not only gained access to the potent Rune of Enchantment but also control over Player Haven.

Its an honor to meet you, Master, Yamti said, bowing slightly, Please give me an order, master. I will do whatever you tell me.

Never call me Master. Dont bow to me in front of anyone else, either. Just act naturally, Ryu Min instructed.

Alright.

If you get too carried away with your words; someone might find it strange.

I I understand.

Although Yamti didnt add another word, Ryu Min could read her inner thoughts.

She genuinely sees me as his Master. Shes completely under my control.

Run down this path as fast as you can. The police will arrive soon. Tell the chairman that Lostyak betrayed him.

Alright Um, Master, I mean, Black Scythe?

Dont even mention Black Scythe. I will kill you.

Oh, Im sorry, I mean, I apologize.

Yamtis face showed embarrassment.

So, what should I call you from now on?

Just use my name, Ryu Min.

A faint smile graced Ryu Mins lips.
