53. Ma Gyeong-rok’s hobby
“…….”
Ma Gyeong-rok was silent.
‘You know the content of the conversation between me and Seo A-rin?’
Because I couldn’t tell if I was just thinking about it or if I was really seeing it in the future.
but.
“You ordered actress Seo Ah-rin to seduce me by any means necessary.”
I had no choice but to bow my head at Ryu Min’s next words.
Because you wouldn’t be able to say something like that without looking into the future.
“Uh, I’m sorry if I offended you. I just wanted to build a relationship with the major shareholder….”
“But you crossed the line by asking my younger brother to do something.”
‘Did you know that too?’
Seeing the future is a truly terrifying ability.
Ma Gyeong-rok bowed his head once more.
“I am truly, truly sorry. I made a foolish judgment against you, Prophet. I will correct all unpleasant matters.”
He apologized profusely, as if he were dealing with his father.
Then, Ryumin’s expression seemed to have calmed down a little.
“Since you’re sincerely apologizing, I’ll just ignore it. I’ll pretend I didn’t hear what the CEO said to actress Seo Ah-rin.”
“Thank you so much for the opportunity.”
Ma Gyeong-rok bent his back to 90 degrees.
There is only one reason why he bends like this.
‘There is nothing good about being hated by a prophet. To get information about the next round.’
This is because in order to survive, one had to hold onto the rope of being a prophet.
at that time.
Rattling-
The door opened and Seo A-rin and Ryu Won came in.
Ahn Sang-cheol, who had finished ordering, also peeked his head out from behind.
“Representative, what are you doing…”
“Hmm.”
Ma Gyeong-rok straightened his bent back with a puzzled look on his face.
“Everyone get out.”
“yes?”
“I have something serious to discuss with you alone, Mr. Ahn. Please guide the group to the next room.”
“Oh, okay. Everyone, please come here.”
As the door closed again, a quiet silence hovered between the two.
Looking at Ryumin’s expression, he still looks uncomfortable.
‘Damn, I was planning on making you feel good through Seo A-rin, but you ended up making me feel uncomfortable… … .’
Regardless of the intention, it seems he was displeased with the manipulation behind his back.
‘For some reason, when I look at Seo A-rin, I don’t see any selfishness at all… … Is it because she saw the future?
It was a difficult situation for Ma Gyeong-rok in many ways.
“Would you like to know information about the next round?”
“Yes… have you seen it?”
“Of course. The reason I accepted the invitation was to give you information about the 5th round. But.”
Ryumin shook his head excitedly.
“If it comes out like this, it will be difficult to give you information, let alone a partnership.”
“I’m sorry, really. Please look at me and feel better.”
The successor to one of Korea’s leading megacorporations continues to bow his head.
Seeing that, Ryu Min had no choice but to take a step back.
“Not only must you not hide anything from me, but you must also trust me completely.”
“Of course. I will.”
“Also, there should be no gossip about the operation of the company. Management rights belong to me as I own 51% of the shares, but I don’t want things to be delayed due to the general shareholders’ meeting. As the CEO, you will be able to persuade other shareholders, right?”
“Of course. Don’t worry about that. I will do my best to keep other shareholders in check so that they do not interfere with the major shareholder’s operations.”
Ryumin finally smiled.
“Then I am relieved. If you do that, I will definitely grow the company.”
“Hahaha, thank you.”
As his mood seemed to have cleared up, Ma Gyeong-rok was able to relax for a while.
“Then I will give you the information you want for round 5.”
Ma Gyeong-rok’s eyes sparkled.
However, when I heard that it was the most difficult round I had ever experienced, my laughter disappeared immediately.
“There’s nothing to worry about. If you’re CEO Ma Gyeong-rok, you won’t have any trouble waking up.”
“What is a quest?”
“It’s a quest to kill 300 orcs. But it’s not that easy.”
‘Oak? ‘What’s so difficult about catching orcs?’
Orcs are usually classified as weak monsters in games.
It was natural for Ma Gyeong-rok to be puzzled.
“Any other information?”
“The district will be integrated.”
“Area?”

“Since there are few people, we will probably have to reunite the areas that were separated.”
“Then you can meet players from other areas? For example, Black Scythe.”
He asked with expectant eyes, but Ryumin carefully shook his head.
“It won’t be in the same area as a player called Black Scythe.”
“Ah… Is that so?”
Ma Gyeong-rok, who had been looking forward to meeting the Black Scythe, looked disappointed.
At that time, a question I wanted to ask suddenly occurred to me.
“Do you, Prophet, know what the black scythe is? The identity of reality.”
“I don’t know that.”
I was discouraged by the disappointing answer, but Ryumin wasn’t finished talking yet.
“But you two will meet sooner or later.”
“Is that true?”
Ryumin gave a confident smile.
Although we had already met.
“And one more thing.”
“Please speak.”
“There’s someone you’re chasing right now, right? His name is Hwang Yong-min.”
“……!”
Ma Gyeong-rok tensed as if standing in front of a brave fortune teller.
“Do you know that too?”
“I told you. There’s no point in hiding it from me.”
“Haha, as expected, the Prophet’s future vision runes are beyond imagination. If you know who he is….”
“Stop chasing now.”
“yes?”
Ma Gyeong-rok’s eyes widened.
Are you suddenly telling me not to pursue Hwang Yong-min?
“Is there a reason?”
“If you touch him, you will be in great trouble.”
“What specifically….”
“That’s all I can tell you.”
Saying that, Ryumin closed his mouth.
In fact, there was no reason for Ma Gyeong-rok to be angry.
It was just that Ryu Min told him not to mess with Hwang Yong-min because it was still worth using.
‘내 사람을 건든 그 개새끼를 살려둬야 한다고?’
The chase for Hwang Yong-min is almost over.
Once we found evidence that we had met him and ambushed him, we tried to dispose of it without anyone knowing.
But now that they’ve told me to take my hands off them, I’m bound to be dissatisfied.
but.
“I understand. I will not pursue Hwang Yong-min any further.”
Ma Gyeong-rok chose to agree.
Because it would be a hundred times more beneficial to listen to the words of a prophet than to pay attention to such a scoundrel.
“Then let’s start partying again. Just wholesomely, without alcohol or entertainment.”
“……All right.”
Ma Gyeong-rok soon called in the people in the next room.
“Director Ahn. Go back to the manager and ask him to bring only cider and snacks instead of alcohol.”
“Yes? Yes, I understand.”
“And then, let’s go out and talk with me for a moment.”
“yes yes…….”
Seo A-rin had a dark expression, but when she came back into the room after the conversation, she looked confused.
‘The CEO suddenly apologized… … . ‘What happened?’
He apologizes and asks that what he said earlier never happened.
As Seo A-rin, she couldn’t help but wonder.
‘No way, what did that prophet say to the representative…? … ?’
Seo A-rin’s gaze naturally turned to Ryu Min.
It was natural to assume this because it was immediately after the conversation with Ryu Min that the CEO’s attitude changed.
‘Oh, I guess not. What kind of person is the CEO?’
Anyway, my heart felt lighter when I heard that I didn’t have to entertain them.
“Then let’s enjoy the second game.”
Ma Gyeong-rok spoke with a grin, but he was not without dissatisfaction.
‘I need to relieve some stress today.’
Ma Gyeong-rok sighed and filled the people’s glasses as soon as the cider came out.
“Now then, let’s toast to the survival of Lord Ryumin!”
“Cheers!”
visor-!
People had a good time singing songs and eating food.
And that too in a very healthy way.
* * *
A dark dawn.
“Huh, huh, huh!”
An old man ran away without even looking back.
Every time he moved, blood splattered from the cross section of his severed arm.
“Whoop, whoop, ah!”
As we entered a dead end, the old man quickly turned around.
No, I tried to turn it.
“Where are you going?”
“omg!”
The assailant who cut off his own arm was standing there like a ghost.
At that moment, the old man could not keep his balance.
“Oops!”
My body tilted and fell to the floor.
I can see my own feet rolling out of sight.
Lately, pain comes from under my legs.
“Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa……!”
“Quiet. If you don’t want your tongue cut off.”
“…….”
The old man was immediately taken aback by the cold words.
I was afraid.
That weirdo who cuts himself like a bug.
“Why on earth are you doing this to me…? What did I do wrong…”
“Ask because you don’t know? Child rapist Jo Du-pal.”
“under.”
Jo Du-pal sighed involuntarily at the title that followed him around like a tag his entire life.
“When did that ever happen, and are you acting like this now? I served my sentence faithfully for 12 years and was released at the end of my term! I’m just an ordinary old man….”
“I told you to be quiet.”
The gunman’s sword cut off his remaining arm.
“Turn it off!”
“Don’t make a sound because it’s loud. Unless you want to die slowly and painfully. If there are witnesses because of you, the number of corpses will increase.”
“……sigh.”
Jo Dupal bit his lip so hard that blood burst out.
He had already lost his limbs and felt like giving up on life, but the human instinct for survival told him that he did not want to die just yet.
“That’s right. I’m glad the old man isn’t deaf.”
“…….”
“It’s a sin for scum like you to be alive, isn’t it? I’ll kill you in a moment, so just wait a moment.”
A pulsing energy flowed from the man’s sword.
‘Well, what is that?’
The dark auror swallowed Jo Dupal in an instant.
“Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!”
Every inch of my body was torn apart and blood splattered everywhere.
Jo Du-pal, who was being devoured by the Dark Aura, made a breathing sound before he died.
“Huhuhuhuhuh….”
“Now die.”
The dark auror returned and coiled around his sword like a snake.
When he swung his sword, his head was cut off cleanly, like a head.
Tsutsutsutsutsu-
The energy covering the sword body suddenly disappeared.
Ma Gyeong-rok, the stranger who retrieved the Dark Auror, laughed bitterly.
‘I can’t believe we have to keep trash like that alive for a while.’
Ma Gyeong-rok looked down at the devoured corpse with contemptuous eyes.
I had a hobby of hunting criminals before I became a player, but I rarely played with it like this.
Because I stabbed him straight in the vital area and killed him in one go.
‘It’s inevitable if you want to recharge your dark magic.’
To use Dark Aura, a certain amount of dark magic is required.
The method of charging black magic was simple.
Taking someone’s life.
Therefore, Ma Gyeong-rok was able to charge up his dark magic by catching goblins from the first round.
Of course, this was only possible in Magyeongrok, which had the Black Knight’s rune.
‘But goblins and the like don’t even charge X.’
There was a limit to catching monsters and charging black magic.
But it wasn’t a person.
‘You gain more dark magic by killing people than by killing monsters.’
It was a good thing for Ma Gyeong-rok, whose hobby was killing criminals in the first place.
To the point where I wonder if being a dark knight is my calling.
‘Especially if you kill it using a dark auror, you can gain more dark magic.’
Ma Gyeong-rok, who was looking down at the corpse, raised his sword.
A dark aura slowly flowed from the sword.
‘Eat it up.’
I aimed my sword at the corpse, but there was no reaction.
‘After all, you can’t eat a corpse?’
Dark Aurors only gnawed away the vitality of living opponents and could not eat their corpses.
This was the reason why the flesh of criminals was torn off with dark aura before killing them.
‘But cleaning up trash like this really relieves my stress.’
With a smile, Ma Gyeong-rok took out the sack he had prepared and put the body in it.
At the same time, he looked around from time to time to see if there were any eyewitnesses.
‘It can’t be.’
Because they had been deliberately lured into a deserted alley and it was early in the morning when people were already asleep, the probability of someone finding them was low.
‘Oh, there was one person.’
Prophet Ryumin.
He might have seen the same scene now through the runes of future poetry.
‘If that’s the case, it means that he approached me even though he knew I was a serial killer… … .’
Ma Gyeong-rok recalled.
Ryu Min’s attitude of confidently asking for what he wanted rather than being intimidated by him, the successor to Ohsung Group.
“Kick, that’s fun.”
Ma Gyeong-rok, holding back his laughter, made a call.
“Director Ahn, please come here and take out the trash.”
