Chapter 210: Stop it! (1)
“Ugh...”
Ma Kyung-soo, who had fainted, opened his eyes.
He thought he might be in a parking lot since it was dark, but it wasn’t.
‘Ugh, what’s that smell?’
The smell indicated that this was a completely different place.
A musty odor wafted up as if there was trash nearby.
Clank-
‘What’s this?’
Not only that but his hands and feet were tied.
Judging by the sound and feel, it was a chain.
It seemed he had been kidnapped and tied to a chair.
‘It was that bastard’s doing.’
Naturally, Ma Kyung-soo recalled the ambush in the parking lot.
The one who had hit his face with a shield must be the culprit.
‘I have to get out of here quickly.’
He was blinking to adjust his eyes to the darkness when he heard a voice.
“Are you awake now, Kyung-soo?”
“Kyung-sang hyung?”
The voice came from right next to him.
As his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he saw Ma Kyung-sang, tied to a chair next time.
He was also bound to a metal chair with chains.
“Hyung, did you get caught too?”
“Yeah.”
“Damn it, whoever the crazy bastard is that kidnapped us, they’re fools. Do they really think we can’t break out of these?”Thê source of this conte/nt n/o/v/(el)bi((n))
It seemed like they had prepared these chains to kidnap players, but they picked the wrong people.
After all, he was a warrior class who prided himself on his strength.
“Hyaaaah!”
But since his hands were tied behind his back and the chains were wrapped several times, he couldn’t exert his full strength.
“Don’t waste your energy. I already tried; it’s no use.”
Hearing his brother’s dispirited tone made Ma Kyung-soo momentarily angry.
“Ah, hyung! What kind of nonsense are you talking about in a situation like this? We have to at least try something!”
“Hey, hey! Quiet down. What if the kidnapper comes in...?”
“Let them come! I want to see that bastard’s face!”
As if to prove a point, he shouted, and the warehouse door really did open.
Craaaack-
Both of them expected the shield-wielding attacker to enter, but the person who came in was unexpected.
No, it was someone they had subconsciously considered.
“Ma Kyung-rok...?”
As they feared, the culprit was Ma Kyung-rok.
The sneer on his face was the proof.
He didn’t look like someone who had come to rescue them at all.
“I knew it was you, you bastard.”
Even as the brothers glared at him with gritted teeth, Ma Kyung-rok remained calm.
He simply tilted his head in a questioning manner.
“How strange? Are you out of your mind? Talking down to your elder brother as soon as you see him? Do I need to gut you alive to make you come to your senses?”
“Damn it, Ma Kyung-rok, you psycho bastard. Do you still want to be treated like an elder in this situation?”
Now was the time to beg for his life.
“S-Sorry, Kyung-rok hyung! I-I was wrong.”
“Be honest. You were planning to kill me, weren’t you?”
“N-No, leave me out of it! It was Kyung-soo! Kyung-soo was the one planning everything!”
“What?”
Ma Kyung-soo shot him a glare, but Ma Kyung-sang didn’t care.
He was just desperate to save his own skin.
“Tell me everything about the plan if you want to get out of here alive.”
“Well, you see...”
Terrified, Ma Kyung-sang spilled all the plans he and Ma Kyung-soo had made.
Ma Kyung-rok’s lips curled into a sneer.
“So you thought you could beat me in a duel?”
“Y-Yeah. We didn’t actually plan on killing you.”
“Really?”
“Of course! Do you think I’d lie in this situation?”
“Bullshit.”
Ma Kyung-soo sneered.
“Kyung-rok hyung. Don’t believe him. He’s lying just to save himself.”
“What are you talking about, Kyung-soo! Why would I lie?”
“You were planning to kill him if he didn’t accept the duel. Kyung-sang hyung agreed to everything.”
“W-What are you talking about? I clearly opposed it...”
“Opposed, my ass. You even asked when the strategy meeting was tomorrow.”
“Hey, Kyung-soo! Do you want to die?”
Ma Kyung-sang’s eyes screamed, ‘Why are you telling the truth and provoking Ma Kyung-rok?’
‘Why are you poking the hornet’s nest?’
Ma Kyung-soo, reading his expression, sneered in disdain.
“Who betrayed whom first? I’m not dying alone, you bastard.”
“You crazy...!”
“Haha!”
A sudden burst of laughter made the fighting brothers turn their heads as if on cue.
“Oh, sorry. Did I interrupt? Keep going. It’s amusing to watch you fight. Show me more.”
As Ma Kyung-rok openly mocked them, the brothers fell silent.
They were no longer in the mood, but more than that, they didn’t want to do as Ma Kyung-rok suggested.
“Why did you stop? I told you to keep fighting and figure out who’s at fault.”
“...”
“This isn’t fun. Watching you two argue over whose fault it was is quite amusing, though.”
He was openly mocking them, but the brothers didn’t say a word.
They knew very well that Ma Kyung-rok held all the power here.
“Looks like the momentum is gone, so should I set the stage for you?”
Ma Kyung-rok swung his sword coated in the dark aura.
Swish-! Swish-
The sudden attack made the brothers flinch, but when they saw that their chains had been cut, their eyes widened in surprise.
“Now it’s easier to move, right?”
“Why...?”
