< Traitor Goblin >
The last time I contacted the Sujeong-gu, the Red Goblin told me this.
‘When you arrive at the rendezvous point, first buy the crystal ball. If you infuse magic into the crystal ball as I told you, the organization will come looking for you.’
‘Then follow the crew and tell them what you need to do. You need to communicate with the Red Goblin. Then they will connect you.’
At that time, the great man asked this:
‘What will you say if you ask me about myself? Should I tell you the truth?’
The Red Goblin glared and replied:
‘They don’t ask anything, so don’t talk nonsense!’
It was a simple answer, but it contained a lot of meaning.
1. Not all information is shared among organization members.
2. Red Goblin will never tell the organization about Ansel (the man’s alias).
Because simply revealing the organization’s identity to an outsider would be a felony.
That means there’s a chance of being scammed in the next few hours.
“Red Goblin. You’ve heard of it, right?”
The old man swallowed and nodded at the soft voice coming from under the mask.
“······.”
How can I not know?
One of the ‘priests’ that he bestowed with the monster mask.
It was a famous story that years ago, a goblin was dragged to the Underworld Prison for losing the Child of Fire.
And it’s also worth noting that he recently returned and changed his name to ‘Red Goblin’.
The old man looked in awe at the aura blade that had grown sharply from the great man’s sword.
‘The laboratory in the underground prison must be quite impressive. I heard that goblins are the weakest among the priests···.’
The old man spoke with even more caution in his tone.
“I heard you were chasing the Child of Fire···.”
The old man now fully believed that the man was the Red Goblin.
The man nodded heavily.
“That’s right.”
“But why is this place···”
In an instant, a bright blue light burst out from the two eyes behind the mask.
“You really don’t know? Still?”
The man looked at the old man meaningfully. Then the old man began to rack his brain desperately.
Why did an executive of the organization suddenly come here? And why did he sneak in like this without following the formal procedures?
At that moment, something crossed the old man’s mind.
“Is this a surprise inspection?”
“······.”
The red goblin looked at the old man in silence.
Just as the old man, anxious by the silence, was about to speak again, the man, having collected his thoughts, opened his mouth.
“Yes.”
“As expected… I thought it was time for someone to come.”
The Red Goblin nodded with a bland expression. Of course, the man inside was delighted by the unexpected good fortune.
‘Things will work out easier than I thought.’
The man spoke in a serious voice.
“Take me around to every nook and cranny. I’ll check everything with my own eyes.”
***
As expected, the fourth basement floor of the casino was Pandemonium’s money supply and one of its branches.
The old man guided him into hidden rooms.
The first room was filled with gold and silver treasures.
“It is a cash vault. The casino’s revenue is managed thoroughly and transparently.”
The man quickly flipped through the thick ledger the old man had brought. There were enormous numbers written in it that made it hard to feel real.
However, the man paid more attention to how the money was used and the path through which the funds flowed than to the money itself.
‘There’s no place on the continent where money isn’t flowing in. It’s a much bigger organization than I thought.’
Why on earth did such an organization never surface on the Gaia continent in the previous life?
The man spoke with that question well in his mind.
“Where to next?”
The second room the old man guided us to was a treasure trove of a different meaning.
From a magic sword that exudes magical energy, armor that radiates divine power, a hammer that resonates with the power of spirits, and accessories with sealed spirits.
Inside the room, there were various types of artifacts and refined magic stones piled up like a mountain.
The old man spoke proudly.
“Of the items taken as collateral in the gambling house, only the best ones were left.”
There were numerous artifacts in the room, but the man’s gaze had been fixed on one place since a while ago.
‘It’s a soul stone, right?’
The red jewel shining on top of the Magic Stone Mountain was clearly the Soul Stone.
Two of them too
The man looked at the watch on his left hand and thought.
‘I’ll feed one to the watch, and use one as fare when I return to Earth.’
The man decided to remember the location and structure of this room.
I’ll have to come back later.

“Go to the next room.”
In the third room, drugged noblemen were rolling around on beds with half-naked women.
The man frowned as he looked at the men panting like horny beasts. Thinking that it was a good idea not to bring the brat, he asked.
“Those guys?”
“Most of them are children of noble families.”
The old man continued with a proud expression.
“We are working to make them into our puppets by making them get into debt that they can’t afford to pay at the casino, then turning them into drugs.”
The great man nodded while looking at the noble children who were asleep from being drunk.
“I see.”
I had no sympathy for those who were ruining their own lives.
The old man had a proud smile on his face, as if he was happy to be praised.
“This is the last one. We will show you the works we have put our heart and soul into over the past few years.”
The old man walked ahead with brisk strides and guided us.
At the end of the fourth floor of the underground gambling den, a huge stone wall stood in the way. Beyond it, the man could smell the overwhelming smell of murder and blood.
“Please wait a moment.”
As the old man placed his hand on the stone wall and recited a short spell, after a while the stone wall split left and right with a “kukukukukukukung!”
“Please come inside.”
Inside was a large open space, illuminated by a red light like a butcher’s shop’s lights. And there was a terrible smell of blood and blood.
Krrrrrr!
I turned my head to the side at the sound of the beast’s howl and saw iron bars. Beyond them, in the darkness, wild beasts were glaring at me.
Krrrrrr!
Krrrrrr!
It was like being in a monster museum. I saw all kinds of monsters trapped behind iron bars.
And there were also members of the organization who were seen training monsters with iron skewers and whips.
“This is a monster specimen. There’s nothing special in front of here… Let’s go further in.”
The old man guided the man inside.
As we went further inside, the number of monsters decreased. Instead, we started seeing corpses divided into parts.
And at some point, little children started appearing behind the iron bars.
“Krrrr···.”
“Ughh …
“Crunch···.”
The children all had grotesque appearances.
There were cases where they had monster arms or legs grafted onto their bodies, wings attached to their backs, or even their mouths torn open and monster teeth grafted onto them.
“Mom, I miss you···.”
“Please, live, please···.”
The man slowly walked between the children who had been transformed into chimeras.
He spoke to the old man in a cold voice.
“Where did you get all these kids?”
The old man answered with a puzzled look.
“Don’t you know better than anyone else? We bring in war orphans or buy them by coaxing poor parents.”
“······.”
At that moment, the man grabbed the mask he was wearing as if he was going to break it.
“Yeah. They’re still using that method.”
“I···.”
When the Red Goblin’s mood seemed cold, the old man guessed the reason and made excuses.
“Everything you’ve seen so far is a failure. The success is inside.”
The man answered in a cold voice.
“Okay. I’ll look forward to it.”
After a while, the two arrived in front of the last iron bars.
Skinny boys and girls were huddled together behind iron bars.
“······.”
“······.”
Children with restraints on their arms, legs, and necks.
The old man smiled happily and introduced them to the elder.
“These guys are all successes. They were successfully transplanted without any adverse reaction to the body, and as you can see, they look no different from humans on the outside.”
The old man took a whip out of his bosom and continued speaking.
“But if you stress them out, they can bring out their ugly nature.”
As the old man gestured, the members of the organization waiting on either side of the iron bars opened the iron bars.
Squeak- Boom!
When the door opened, the children were startled and all stepped back.
“Ugh, ugh···.”
“Again···?”
The children were shivering, pressed against the wall. The old man looked at them with his snake-like eyes, then stopped on one boy.
“Zeke. Come out here.”
“······.”
The boy’s face was filled with despair. As the boy hesitated, the old man chuckled and said,
“If you don’t like it, should I ask your younger brother to come out instead?”
“Well, I’ll just do it.”
Zeke looked at his younger brother next to him, closed his eyes tightly, and stepped out of the iron bars.
dump.
As if he was already used to it, Zeke knelt before the old man. On either side of him, the members of the organization untied the restraints on his arms and legs.
The old man raised the whip over his head and said.
“We have guests, so let’s try to make it a success this time.”
Choaack!
The whip struck Zeke’s body without mercy. It didn’t stop at just one. Twice, three times. The boy’s body, which had been gritting its teeth and enduring it, began to change.
Phew! Phew!
His muscles swelled as if they were exploding, and silvery fur grew all over his body. His mouth became elongated like a dog’s snout, and sharp teeth grew inside.
Werewolves. The strongest among them are the Silver Tribe.
Zeke, who had transformed with those characteristics intact, raised his head and roared.
Kwaaaaaaaah-!!
A thunderous roar shook the room. Zig ran straight to the old man.
“Tsk. You still don’t recognize your owner.”
The old man, who was clicking his tongue, pressed a button on the whip he was holding.
-Chijijijijik!
Wow! Wow!
An electric shock coursed through his entire body. Zig, who had fallen to the floor, struggled to remove the restraints around his neck.
But the more I did that, the tighter the restraints became around my neck.
“Kuuuuuuuuuuu!”
The old man looked back at the man without taking his fingers off the whip button.
“It still has a little bit of obedience training to do, but once that and a few other issues are resolved, mass production will be possible.”
“Ugh···.”
Slurp.
Even after a while the werewolf turned back into a boy, the old man did not take his hand off the button.
“This is a punishment for not recognizing the owner. Even though he is a guest, how can you embarrass him···.”
The old man clicked his tongue and turned his head to look inside the iron bars. Frightened eyes were looking at him.
For a moment, a cruel smile appeared on the old man’s lips.
“Yeah. I guess I’ll have to try one more.”
His finger was pointing to Zeke’s younger sister who was lying on the floor.
“Hannah. Come out here.”
Zig, who had been lying on the floor in pain, opened his eyes wide.
“I did it instead···!”
“It’s invalid because it failed.”
Phew!
The old man kicked Zig aside and ordered his men to bring Hannah out.
Hannah came out shivering and knelt before the old man. The girl’s messy red hair was stuck to her face.
“Unlike your brother, you should show some patience. That way, I can save face.”
That was when.
A man approached the old man and snatched his whip away.
“It looks fun. I should try it.”
“Ah, yes···.”
At those words, the old man nodded and stepped back.
The man crouched down in front of the girl.
“I made a mistake···.”
The girl couldn’t even meet his eyes. She knelt down, her small body trembling, and apologized for a mistake she hadn’t made.
‘The kid must have been in a place like this too.’
This was not the man’s original plan.
I was planning on impersonating the Red Goblin to get some information about the organization, and steal a few soulstones and artifacts on my way back.
That alone was enough to screw over the Red Goblin.
I didn’t intend to fight a tiresome fight here.
That’s what happened,
“I changed my mind.”
When the man reached out, the girl flinched in surprise. Then, after a moment, her eyes widened.
Bam!
The restraints that had been choking her neck had fallen off. The girl looked up at the man with a surprised face.
“why···.”
The old man who had stepped back walked towards the man in surprise.
“It’ll be a problem if you take it off!”
“It’s not difficult.”
The man got up from his seat. When he turned around, he saw an old man standing there with a puzzled look on his face.
The man swung his whip.
Whirlyrick!
The old man with his neck twisted opened his eyes wide in shock.
“Ugh! Wh, what···.”
At the same time, hidden signs began to appear here and there.
Each one is nothing special, but if you try to do them all together, it can be quite a problem.
‘Besides, the truly strong guys haven’t even shown themselves yet.’
I knew it.
That it would be annoying and tiring.
But he had no intention of changing his mind. The man tightened his grip on the whip.
Kkwaduk!
The old man’s throat was ripped into thin air.
