10. Deadly Hover Bike Rally (4)
10. Deadly Hover Bike Rally (4) – Without Knowing Anything
In a corner of the Totu Rally ship, where there were few people, two women were talking.
Dang Se-ryeong, a sharp-looking man with slightly taller than average height and black hair tied back.
Baek Sa-hee, a short, cold-looking woman with long, blonde hair and an eye patch over one eye.
“······.”
“······.”
The two people are usually impatient because they can’t get along with each other, but for now, they put their personal feelings aside for a moment. Neither of them likes this situation, but they are in a position where they have to work together toward the same goal.
Not only did she check the surroundings to make sure no one was there, but she also deployed a surveillance drone, showing thorough preparation. Baek Sa-hee took out a thin, long wire, put one end behind her ear, and held out the other end to Se-ryeong.
“ruler.”
“······Do you really have to go that far when you can just use short-range communication?”
A secured wired cable? Do you have to make such a fuss? Baek Sa-hee glared at Se-ryeong at her question.
“Do you think this mothership is completely under our control? If even one communication leaks and we get caught on the other side, you’ll be held responsible?”
Okay, okay. Se-ryeong took the cable with a displeased expression at Baek Sa-hee’s words, who raised her eyebrows, and placed it behind her ear as well. Se-ryeong clicked her tongue lightly.
“I’d like to decline this connection with you.”
“Stop talking nonsense and just get the data.”
Baek Sa-hee lowered her head and spoke in a cold voice. For some reason, her voice seemed to be shaking slightly, but Se-ryeong didn’t really care.
“Just try getting caught transmitting something like a virus or spyware.”
“If you do something like reverse hacking, I won’t let you off easy.”
The two people who had been grumbling and bickering while transmitting the data simultaneously pulled out the cable. After the security check was over and the data was checked, Serin frowned.
“Fifty teams? Why are there so many?”
“These are the people involved in Yeom Cheon-seong that we found out by releasing informants. Eliminate them all as soon as you see them.”
This little rat is now ordering me around? Se-ryeong opened her mouth in anger at Baek Sa-hee’s overbearing words.
“Hey, did you even listen to what I said? I told you there were a lot. I’m so busy worrying about racing that I’m dying, when will I ever get around to doing all this? Are you kidding me?”
A threatening sight that would make even a fully grown man flinch. However, Baek Sa-hee is by no means an easy woman. She glared at Se-ryeong, who was looking down at her as she took a step closer.
“You’re the one who doesn’t listen to what others say, so how can you be so loud? Didn’t you hear what I said, ‘as soon as I see it’? Or do you not understand what I mean? Is that stuffed animal on your neck for decoration?”
“This little bean really says at the end of every sentence… Are you saying we should do something or not? Do you think I have time to worry about such trivial things when I’m busy trying to win?”
“You don’t even think about the fact that your speech is so annoying? And what? Winning? You don’t know anything about what happened and only know yourself?”
The atmosphere froze in an instant. Seolyeong’s hand went up to the hilt of her sword, and the blade slid out from Baek Sahee’s sleeve. They stared into each other’s eyes for about ten seconds. As if they had planned it, the two sighed at the same time.
“Haa. I have to endure it.”
“Sigh. I’m so tired I could die.”
Baek Sa-hee opened her mouth, rubbing her head in annoyance.
“Somehow, Mr. Ko also expected you to cause trouble. 20,000 credits out of 5,000 credits per group. I’ll calculate only the amount that has been processed without rounding up, so don’t leave any residue and process everything cleanly. Do you understand what I mean?”
“······You should have said so a long time ago. Don’t pick a fight and make a fuss.”
Seolyeong muttered rudely. Five to twenty thousand per team. That would be a pretty good side income, so there was no reason to refuse.
The only problem is that since Mokjin, the current strongest player, has no reason to get involved in such petty matters, Seolyeong has to handle everything on her own. Even Seolyeong, who has a reputation as Yeomhwanachal, does not have the martial arts skills to handle all of Yeomcheonseong’s main masters.
But this is Totuga Rally. Although martial arts are important, it is ultimately a place where racing skills are the deciding factor. If she can block attacks directly coming from Mokjin’s protection, even if three-digit numbers of incompetent black and red riders come rushing in, they are no match for her.
“There will be several teams coming out to the meeting this time. I’ll be going too. So don’t be sly and do your job properly.”
“With your hover bike skills?”
As the daughter of the Three-Polar Alliance, Baek Sa-hee grew up with no shortcomings, so how often would she ride a hover bike? She blushed slightly at Se-ryeong’s words that were filled with a sense of absurdity, and spoke as if making an excuse.
“No way. I’m going to join the combat force. My sister Maha will help me pilot the hover bike.”
“Maha? I admit that she has some skills, but my question is, why did you insist on going? If you think of it as a racing competition, you’ll really go downhill.”
Serin asked with an expression that wasn’t worried or anything, but rather one that seemed truly incomprehensible.
Baek Sa-hee is not particularly lacking in skills, but there are other talented people who can fight against the Black Enemies. As the daughter of the Three-Way Alliance, she was considered precious and there was no need for her to take risks and participate.
Of course, that was just Serin’s thoughts.
“······This isn’t as comfortable a place as you think.”
Baek Sa-hee, who had been silent for a moment, spoke in a calm voice. Her only eye looked up at Se-ryeong with complex emotions that were difficult to describe. Se-ryeong couldn’t understand why she was looking at her with those eyes.
“What, why are you looking at me like that?”
“Okay. This is a messy succession issue, so if you’re going to bother me, then just leave it at that.”
Baek Sa-hee is not the only child of the Three-Way Society. She has three older brothers and one younger sister, and they are fiercely competing with each other to inherit their father’s power. Although it is not known, it is likely that they are participating in order to increase their influence within the Three-Way Society.
However, it was not someone else but Baek Sa-hee who would do something like that. It was quite unexpected that she, who usually tried to create her own organization outside of the Samgeukhoe rather than inheriting the power of the Samgeukhoe, was trying to increase her presence in the Samgeukhoe.
‘Well, it’s none of my business.’
But in the end, it was just Baek Sa-hee’s own circumstances. Se-ryeong looked at her for a moment, embarrassed by the reason she was revealing so blatantly, and then quickly averted her gaze and turned away from her. She didn’t have the presence of mind to care about Baek Sa-hee’s circumstances.
As if trying to hide her embarrassment, Seolyeong quickly changed the subject.
“You’re being so serious about something I just asked… But there are guys who are checked separately for each team. What are they?”
“······These are the ones you need to watch out for. Most of them are either above average skilled or use lethal martial arts skills in hover bike races.”
I have attached the data on those guys separately, so check it out. Don’t let your guard down when fighting. Se-ryeong nodded at Baek Sa-hee’s words.
“Then you go first. I still have things to take care of.”
“Okay, let’s go. Eat well and live well, okay?”
Seolyeong raised her middle finger as she saw Baek Sahee waving her hand as if telling her to get out quickly. Baek Sahee hesitated for a moment behind Seolyeong as she left, then opened her mouth.
“You’d better be careful. The Flash Fist has put a bounty on you. There will be more than one or two who will be after you during the race.”
“Let them come. Our master is hungry for a fight.”
If it was that guy, wouldn’t he welcome him with open arms? Se-ryeong thought, thinking of Mok-jin, who was extremely stressed out from wrestling on a hover bike. At least during this match, he wouldn’t be afraid of the Flash Heat Wave, not the Flash Heat Wave.
“ha······.”
Baek Sa-hee watched Se-ryeong for a while until she left, then let out a long sigh and connected the communication somewhere.
“······I added nine people to the list as I said. I kept my promise.”
– Of course, my sweet little sister. As promised, the bounty hunter will be safe until he leaves Totuga. Do you trust me?
The one who answered the phone was her older sister. Baek Sa-hee gritted her teeth at her high-pitched voice that was annoying.

‘You’re shaking things up by holding on to your weaknesses, so what’s the point?’
I didn’t think she would show it, but who would have thought that she would get caught up in it? She’s a useless, good-for-nothing woman. She had no way of saying nice things to him since she unexpectedly joined the Totu rally.
“I’d rather trust the Blood Cult. Don’t forget. This time, I have no choice but to drag you along, but if you break your promise, I’ll lead the White Society and stick to you, my brothers.”
– Huh. Do you think I’ll accept you for selling out your own supporting organization to have surgery?
“I don’t know about my third brother, but my oldest and second oldest brothers will probably accept it with a big smile, right?”
-······.
Among the siblings who fiercely keep each other in check, the Baek Society she leads is small enough to be ignored as a single force, but if it joins one of the forces, it will be a different story. Baek Sa-hee spoke coldly to her sister across the communication line.
“If you just stay still, this will be the last time you guys will be completely free from the succession issue. Isn’t that good for you too? Let’s finish the deal cleanly without leaving any room for unnecessary variables.”
– ······It’s a shame to use it like this, but whatever, it’s for the sake of your cute little sister. ······But it’s really funny. You growl so much on the outside, but you’re actually so devoted behind the scenes. Wasn’t that woman the one who made you a fool? Kids these days are really unpredictable, aren’t they?
“Nam Isa.”
Ignoring her sister’s useless ramblings and turning off the phone, Baek Sa-hee leaned against the wall and sank to the floor. A deep sigh, with a slightly different meaning than before, escaped her lips.
“after······.”
This is really useless. She ran a weak hand through her hair, muttering complaints she couldn’t tell anyone.
“How is it? It’s cool, right?”
“Hmm. Tae is definitely good, but······.”
Mokjin nodded his head at Seolyeong’s question with a bright expression.
A custom hover bike with a body that was sleek enough to resemble a falcon and a frame that followed smooth curves. The carbon black base and the dark blue underside of the body, which formed a flame-like gradient, looked quite cool even to Mokjin, who had no knowledge of vehicles.
Last time I test drove it with the frame exposed, I thought it was something out of the ordinary, but now that the body has been completed and painted, even though the appearance is completely different, it feels like looking at a mechanical masterpiece.
But even so, Mok-jin couldn’t completely agree with Se-ryeong’s words. There was one part of it that he couldn’t understand at all.
“But what about that magnificent painting?”
A devilish skull decal was stuck on the front of the car. He couldn’t understand why they had drawn a human skull on him, since he wasn’t a Western savage or a bloodthirsty demon.
“Huh? That’s the coolest part. Why are you complaining? How much did it cost to commission the designer to do that?”
“Aren’t there more wonderful pictures? Like dragons? Like tigers?”
“Who would put up such a tacky decal, not even an old lady who likes ancient martial arts?”
“······.”
The kids of this era. Mokjin grumbled as he unintentionally got hurt in his heart. He couldn’t help but regret leaving his past appearance to Seolyeong without giving it much thought.
‘You spent a lot of money drawing such a hideous skull. When I was in the martial arts world, even the young people didn’t say that such hideous things were cool······.’
If it were someone else’s business, I wouldn’t know, but for someone who had to ride that thing to the Totu Rally soon, it was just really uncomfortable. Whether she knew his feelings or not, Seolyeong was just fiddling with the hover bike with excitement.
– The race starts in an hour. Are you done checking your condition?
“Of course. It’s in perfect condition. Are you ready too?”
– Yes. It’s a shame that the operating equipment is a bit old, but I’ve set it up so that it’s usable.
Sunja’s figure appeared on the front panel of the hover bike. She was an all-weather android who could do anything except martial arts, and this time, she was assigned to assist the two in their race in the separately assigned operating room.
“Are you ready, sir?”
“Are you saying this?”
“Good. Then let’s go win.”
I’m going to earn some extra money here and there. A deep smile appeared on Se-ryeong’s lips.
information)
When people exchange information, they usually exchange data using wireless communication. Of course, basic security is also handled there, but for full security, wired cables are used. Usually, communication terminals are implanted behind the ears and near the wrists. Communication terminals are equipped with firewalls for security and safety, but cheap ones are sometimes breached.
Seolyeong can’t compete with the masters of Yeomcheonseong. However, if you go for dirty racing rather than martial arts, you are a talented person who can single-handedly destroy them all, even if they are not professional riders.
Maha is a member of Baek Society, but she is more suited to being a pilot than a human. She is on a pretty close relationship with Baek Sa-hee.
In addition to Baek Sa-hee, the Samgeukhoeju has four other children. Most of them are fiercely competing with each other to succeed the position of Samgeukhoeju, and Baek Sa-hee is disillusioned with this competitive structure and is trying to establish her own organization. The other siblings are satisfied with Baek Sa-hee’s actions, but sometimes they plot to use her.
The bounty that the Flash Fist has placed on Serin is 100,000 credits. By 21st century standards, this is a huge sum of money, equivalent to about 100 million won.
Baek Sa-hee and Se-ryeong are not on good terms. Se-ryeong is the one who took away one of her eyes. But now, for some reason, she is acting for Se-ryeong.
Serin’s taste is slightly funky. On the other hand, the dragon or tiger style that Mokjin wants is considered to be an old-fashioned taste by the younger generation these days.
Mok-jin was quite hurt by Se-ryeong’s thoughtless words.
