Chapter 81

The gangsters who were struck by lightning out of the blue in the office realized that day how easily people could fly.

Thud!

Bang!

With the sound of something breaking, the gangsters flew one by one and crashed to the ground.

The gangsters stared at the scene as if they were bewitched by something.

Yu-hyun’s movements were ruthless.

He personally snapped the arms and legs of those who ran towards him.

It was a neat movement without any waste and a merciless action.

Rather, the guys who relied on numbers and were arrogant lost their momentum one by one.

“What are you doing? Come on, hurry up!”

Yu-hyun provoked them, but no one answered.

There was no one who shouted with confidence like before, holding a weapon.

They were all rolling on the floor with their arms and legs twisted in a painful way.

“This, this crazy.”

“What do you want us to do...”

He inflicted serious injuries without a single exception with an emotionless face.

To the eyes of the gangsters with weapons, Yu-hyun looked like a killing machine.

More than anything, the fact that their collector on this side was defeated in an instant greatly contributed to their loss of morale.

Yu-hyun did not spare his hands.

Especially since he knew that the other party was a gangster who did something bad, he acted more roughly.

It had been three minutes since he broke into the office.

The rest of them also walked the same path as their colleagues.

“Ugh.”

“Ouch.”

The gangsters with broken bones filled the office floor.

They all held their painful spots and groaned in agony.

The scene of them looking at the modern art filled with pain was like seeing a grotesque painting.

There was no one left standing.

Yu-hyun approached the door that was firmly closed on one side.

He heard a sound of someone moving urgently inside.

Yu-hyun kicked the door roughly.

Crack!

His body, enhanced by points and various stories, smashed the solid iron door.

A few people who were waiting inside swung their knives at Yu-hyun as if they had been waiting for him.

A sashimi knife with a sharp edge.

It was not a weapon for hitting, such as a bat or a wooden stick, but a weapon for sincerely killing someone.

But Yu-hyun blocked it lightly with his fingertips.

“No, no way!”

He couldn’t believe that he blocked the blade with his bare hands.

If he was a low-level collector without [the power of stories], he might have been injured.

But Yu-hyun was different.

The title [Untrained Knight]

It was a position bestowed by the last legitimate emperor of Rome himself, which he obtained as a reward for clearing the siege of Constantinople.

Naturally, the weight of the name contained in it was great, and so were the stories it had.

‘Knight’, which was once a symbol of honor and power, but faded away in meaning in modern times

That glorious title crossed over a long time and wrapped around Yu-hyun’s body, showing off its dignity.

Sssssss.

White letters of smoke wrapped around Yu-hyun’s body like armor.

The thing that blocked the tip of the knife was also this translucent armor made of letters.

The ability given by the title [Untrained Knight] is simple. Increase physical ability, increase defense, increase melee combat ability.

It is very simple, but effective because of that.

“Why? Is it your first time seeing a knight?”

Yu-hyun gave a punch to the face of the guy who looked up at him with a pale face.

Bang!

With a creepy noise, the face of the guy who swung the sashimi knife caved in like a sponge.

His nose collapsed, and his broken teeth scattered in the air with blood.

The other gangsters who saw that scene shivered their bodies.

The fear engraved against an enemy who couldn’t even be harmed by weapons restricted their movements.

“What are you looking at? You guys should get the same treatment.”

The only exit to escape was the door that Yu-hyun came in from.

But since he was blocking it, no one could dare to run away.

A cornered mouse bites a cat, but if the opponent is not a cat but a tiger, a pack of mice can’t even dare to attack. N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.

They just shivered in fear and watched helplessly as the hammer of violence came down on them.

“Only one left now?”

A voice so calm that it was hard to believe he had been fighting.

The last person left was wearing a suit, probably because he had the highest position here, and he was middle-aged.

There was a scar on his face from a knife cut, but he was so scared that it didn’t matter.

“Who are you! Who sent you!”

“Where I came from is not important. Oh, by the way. Your subordinates outside told me everything about this place.”

“What, what?”

Yu-hyun mocked him by reciting the names of the three who had collapsed in the alley by now.

The boss of this office, Choi Deokpal, gritted his teeth at the traitors while rolling his eyes to find a chance to escape.

Choi Deok-pal stiffened his body and answered sharply.

Yu-hyun silently pointed his thumb at the sturdy safe in the corner.

It was a gesture to take out what was inside and see what else was there.

Choi Deok-pal broke out in a cold sweat.

‘Oh, no!’

In fact, the documents and money he had taken now were only things that could be used urgently.

The really important data was inside the safe.

He couldn’t take it because he was in a hurry, but he also left it there because he was sure that no one could take it.

It was because that safe was different from ordinary safes.

It was a specially made thing.

It was not an object of Earth, but of the hybrid world.

Yu-hyun had told him to open it and see.

‘That’s impossible.’

Choi Deok-pal rolled his eyes.

The thing inside was really important.

If he was caught having that taken away, his life would be over for sure.

‘But how can I refuse?’

If he refused, Yu-hyun’s hand seemed to kill him. But if he gave up what was in the safe... he would still die.

He didn’t know what to do in front of the desperate choice of dying no matter what he did.

“Can’t you hear me?”

“No, I can’t.”

But Choi Deokpal chose to refuse in the end.

The fear of Yu-hyun in front of him was less than the terror that the Twilight Curtain Clan had.

Yu-hyun immediately caught on that Choi Deokpal was afraid of something else.

‘So there must be something really important inside.

He’s showing such a strong rejection reaction.’

He felt more and more confident about his guess.

Above all, that safe was not something that was sold in the market.

There was a faint but noticeable power of stories around the safe.

It was a structure that ordinary people could never open.

This could not be opened unless one had the story of [Key Maker].

‘Or maybe [Engraver].’

That was a trivial matter for him.

Yu-hyun quickly approached the safe.

Choi Deokpal swallowed his saliva as he saw him.

Was he going to try to break it?

‘Impossible. That thing won’t even get a scratch from any ordinary impact.’

It was originally made like that.

No matter how amazing the man in front of him was, he thought he could never touch that safe.

But Yu-hyun lightly scoffed at such expectations and moved the safe to his [Room of the Watcher].

From Choi Deokpal’s perspective, it looked like the safe disappeared in an instant, and his eyes widened as if they would tear apart.

“W-what, what, what, what...”

“I’ll take it well.”

Yu-hyun said that and got up from his seat, but then he came back to Choi Deokpal as if he had just remembered something.

“Oh, right. Look at me. All your men are like this, but it would be weird if the boss was fine, right? You must feel sorry for your men too.”

Before Choi Deokpal could ask ‘What?’ with a puzzled look, he saw a fist coming at him with a speed that was almost swift.

Thud!

***

As he left the office, he heard a commotion outside and someone must have reported it, because he heard sirens getting closer from afar.

Yu-hyun got out of there without being caught by anyone, and naturally left the scene.

When he arrived at a safe place, Yu-hyun immediately moved to [Room of the Watcher] and examined the safe he had just taken.

“Hmm. This is what I’m talking about.”

The small safe had been specially treated so that it could not be opened easily.

If he tried to force it open, a trap inside would activate and curse the user.

It was extremely sturdy, and if he didn’t choose the right method, he would end up being cursed instead.

It was almost like iron-clad security.

‘Well. Considering hacking, it would have been easier to leave it as an analog rather than data.’

Sometimes these old-fashioned methods worked well.

But Yu-hyun didn’t regret it at all.

The title he had, [Engraver], was a versatile ability that could also work in this situation.

‘The sentences to engrave are three. Delete alarm sound. Remove curse. And unlock.’

The characters flowing from his fingertips quickly combined to form sentences.

It took a little time because there were three sentences this time.

After a few minutes of concentration, engravings were carved on the safe, and at the same time, the power of the engravings activated.

Pssst.

The intangible curse that was hovering around the safe disappeared, and the story of the alarm that would ring when it was opened without permission also disappeared.

And with a click sound, the locked safe opened by itself.

Inside were stacks of cash and dazzling gold bars, and on the other side were documents marked ‘TOP SECRET’.

Yu-hyun immediately took out the contents and checked them.

He scanned through the documents at an incredible speed and his eyes sparkled.

“As expected.”

This is not just a small fry level.

He caught a big fish.
