Chapter 34: The New Zone Representative (1)

Ryu Mins rejection momentarily stunned Jo Joong-sik.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

He never expected the Black Scythe to turn down his offer.

Wait, hold on! Did I hear you right? Youre accepting my proposal, right?

Nope.

But it was your own idea! You said youd protect me if I followed your orders!

That opportunity has passed.

Once a bus has passed, it doesnt come back.

As if to emphasize that point, the Black Scythe coldly turned its back.

Jo Joong-sik couldnt help but feel a pang of disappointment.

Why on earth? Im willing to be under your control, so why are you rejecting me?

Ryu Mins steps halted at his voice.

Then, with nonchalance, he retorted, Without the authority power youre not even worth being under control.

Leaving those words hanging, Ryu Min walked away.

Leaving Jo Joong-sik dumbfounded.

The players who witnessed this scene had different expressions in their eyes.

Did you all see that? The rejection of the offer?

It seems like the Black Scythe has completely abandoned him.

Thank goodness. I was worried about what would happen if the Black Scythe actually helped.

Life can be quite unpredictable.

Now we can breathe easy and kill him without hesitation.

The players approached with grim expressions on their faces.

Jo Joong-siks expression twisted, resembling a lion surrounded by hyenas.

Damn it! So now Im worthless because Ive used up my authority?

If only he had known this would happen, he would have accepted Black Scythes proposal earlier.

Then he wouldnt have needed to rely on his authority, and he wouldnt be facing this crisis.

Thump-

The pain in his side intensified.

Running away was no longer a viable option.

Damn it, is fighting my only choice?

Jo Joong-sik turned around and tightly gripped his sword.

It was a shortsword he had received when he became a gladiator.

Even if Im going down, Ill take at least one more person with me.

Looking at the group of over thirty players, Jo Joong-sik steeled himself.

He didnt have confidence in winning, but if he fought with the resolve to die, he might have a chance.

Damn it, I shouldnt have run away from my guards.

He wished he had an ally at this critical moment.

Did he approach him from the start to betray him?

Hes a terrifying guy

No, hes not terrifying, just ruthless.

I cant believe such a guy became a zone representative

Voices of condemnation could be heard, but Hwang Yongmin paid no attention to the surrounding gazes.

He simply boasted about his achievements to his gang friends.

Hey, guys! Did you see that? I landed the final blow!

Uh um

I told you I had a good chance of winning, didnt I?

Yeah, you did.

Well, it turned out just fine.

Although his friends laughed along, deep down, they couldnt help but feel uneasy.

That guy he killed someone with his bare fists.

He said he could kill the zone representative just by hitting him from behind, and he actually did

What a crazy psycho.

His friends shook their heads, astonished by Hwang Yongmins repeated actions.

His calculated behavior sent shivers down their spines.

However, Hwang Yongmin had never intended to betray him from the start.

Not until Jo Joong-sik showed his pitiful and desperate side, running away from the players.

It was disappointing to see the so-called boss Jo Joong-sik fleeing.

Hwang Yongmin remembered.

He remembered Jo Joong-siks feeble attempts to escape from the players.

Thats why I got rid of him. Instead of struggling in vain, wouldnt it be better for him to die by my hand?

A zone representative without the power of Authority is worthless.

And Jo Joong-sik, who had lost his charisma, was also worthless.

Thats why Hwang Yongmin stepped forward.

To strike Jo Joong-sik in the back and become the zone representative himself.

I will make good use of this power. Hehe.

After briefly contemplating Jo Joong-siks lifeless body, Hwang Yongmin lifted his head.

The eager gazes of those around him were focused solely on him.

The target had changed.

Now theyre coming after me? Heh heh.

Yet Hwang Yong-min didnt show fear or hesitation.

Because he had a glimmer of trust.

Black Scythe!

Hwang Yong-min rushed straight towards Ryu Min.
