Episode 165 Kuro Castle -4-
Kwaaaaang!
The bomb explodes.
The Kuro Castle collapses as it is.
A black cloud of dust rises.
Shock waves and dust poured down in all directions, but they were blocked and purified by the barriers that had been set up in advance.
Then, heavy equipment enters.
All the waste was collected, compressed, and swept away.
“Oh my.”
“It’s like that… … .”
“That’s so cool.”
“What’s cool? Our house is gone.”
People are gathered in groups of three or four to watch the demolition scene.
On one side, the sorting work was in full swing.
“You have no place to go? Then why did you charge me a moving fee?”
“My brother Gilmyeong told me to circle this… … .”
“Who is that?”
“He’s a guy I know… … .”
“Have you heard the explanation? The housing relocation fee is money given to those who have temporary housing. If you do not have a place to live, we will provide it for you, but we will not give you the housing relocation fee.”
“Excuse me, what is your residence?”
A young man with a messy head who looks like he’s missing something.
Although the distance was only a few hundred meters, my transcendent senses could hear their conversation very clearly.
The guide said, beating his chest in frustration.
“So, a place to live! A house! It takes at least six months to build a new building, so where are you going to live during that time? If you don’t have a place to go, we can provide temporary accommodations for you. But that requires the consent of the residents. You should have circled this instead of this.”
“That, that, Gilmyeong hyung told me to circle this… … .”
“Oh, we held an information session and handed out instructions. Didn’t you read them?”
“Because I am blind… … .”
Black eyes?
For a moment, I was dumbfounded.
Where is the illiteracy in 21st century Korea?
Yes, it could exist in this world.
Even in Seoul, there are areas where the police turn a blind eye to gang fights or murders, believing they are outside their territory.
Fire station? Same thing.
It would not be strange if there were true illiteracy rather than actual illiteracy.
Thud thud.
I walked while deliberately making noise.
The guide hired by Choi Seon-su, who had been dealing with the residents with a tired face, suddenly stood up.
“Have you arrived, Master Mukho?”
“Oh, hello, Man-yu.”
A young man who speaks in a strange way that is neither a dialect nor standard language.
It smelled really bad because I didn’t wash it properly.
Taaak!
I snapped my fingers.
The purification began and washed the young man up and down.
The young man looks at me with his eyes wide open.
Not only did the smell disappear, but minor illnesses inside the body also improved for a while, so the person must have felt something strange.
“Are there many illiterate people living here?”
“Uh… … Huh? Are you illiterate?”
“They are blind. They don’t know Korean.”
“There are many. My mother is blind, and Sooni, who lives next door, Chulsoo, who lives in the house in front, and Gaedongi, who lives upstairs, are all blind.”
“What about elementary school?”
“How can I go to school? I’m busy just trying to make ends meet. But thanks to Gilmyeong hyung taking care of me, I was able to eat and live.”
“Who is Gilmyeong hyung?”
“He’s the guy who rides around in a big motorcycle. He also carries a cool gun.”
“is it so?”
I’m starting to get the hang of it.
“What did you use the money you received for moving expenses?”
“Sir, what is the moving fee?”
“The money we gave you. We already transferred it all to your account.”
“Account?”
“I mean, a bankbook, a bankbook.”
“There’s no such thing… … .”
“You didn’t get the money?”
“I didn’t receive anything… … .”
“No way! I definitely paid it! I checked it on the computer!”
A young man who just scratches his head blankly.
The guide waves his hand, saying that it can’t be true.
The guide in particular was desperate.

I guess that’s because they might suspect embezzlement.
I nodded and said calmly.
“Please process the matter assuming that the housing relocation expenses have not been paid.”
“Ha, but, Your Majesty, it was definitely paid… … .”
“Based on what this person said, it seems like it wasn’t relayed to him. Is it Gilmyeong hyung? I’ll have to look into that person first.”
“Ah! Yes! Yes! I understand what you mean! I’ll pass it on right away.”
“Please spread this to others. And report it to Director Choi.”
“yep!”
The results came out quickly.
Gangs that rule Kuro Castle.
Those guys were sucking my hard earned money.
The method is a fictitious account.
Most of the residents of Kuro Castle do not have access to banks.
This is because there are many cases where they do not have Korean citizenship.
However, they were creating accounts by colluding with some bank employees and were stealing money using methods they managed.
“These guys are total bastards.”
“What would you like to do?”
“What should I do? I have to kill them. You guys go to the bank and arrest all the employees, including the branch manager. Don’t be too harsh, because there might be some innocent people. I’m going to Daerim-dong.”
Guro-dong and Daerim-dong are one block.
Although the administrative districts were different, the gangs moved in a similar way.
Then, when redevelopment began, many of the Guro-dong gangs moved to Daerim-dong.
When Jeil Security built a siege net, he felt a sense of crisis and fled.
If that was the case, they would have just withdrawn. The cause of the trouble was that they had been sucking the marrow out of the residents by smelling money.
[The report has arrived. It will be displayed on the Geumoh-an display.]
Recently, I made a small upgrade to Geumoh-an.
A communication device was added and a video function was added to the Golden Eye Magic Curtain.
The HUD was activated with augmented reality.
The nearest, bushy-haired youth’s street name indicates the path to Hyung’s gang.
Follow the road towards the blue arrow.
Even detecting with magic how many people are in the base.
Their armed status too.
[Teacher. Should I join too?]
“Okay. I’ll go alone.”
[But I will still send the staff.]
“Oh, thank you.”
The best security personnel follow them.
As he walked down the street with dozens of people, people were startled and split to either side.
My shoulders feel tense for no reason.
Now I understand why in movies, the gang leaders walk with their men.
People were looking at us and gossiping.
“What? What’s going on?”
“Has war broken out?”
“Oh, that guy… … .”
“It’s a silent sword!”
“It would be nice if they redeveloped our neighborhood too… … The people of Guro-dong are really angry.”
“What’s the point of playing? Everything has been taken away.”
Don’t leave it like that.
It’s all my money after all.
My money was invested with the reputation and skills I have built up by risking my life.
It’s money that will eventually come back as taxes.
“What?”
Arrived at the gang’s stronghold.
Sigh, I look up.
It is surprisingly similar to the dagger faction stronghold that was conquered at level 2.
Several one-room buildings were connected to create a castle-like structure.
It looks similar to Kuro Castle, except that the outside is clean.
“What the heck!”
The gang member guarding the building shouted.
It’s big.
Even though it is winter, she is wearing only a nasi tsuba, and her exposed arms have irezumi patterns drawn on them, making them look disgusting.
The magic wave is not felt.
That is, the terminal.
A non-superhuman gang member.
I nodded arrogantly.
“Call Jongseok.”
Shin Jong-seok.
The boss of the gang I came to see, the Seongchae gang.
The man who had been extorted money by the bald young man named Gilmyeong was actually not even a mid-level executive in the Seongchae faction.
“What’s new?”
The gang member glared.
“Who is this kid telling you to come? Do you think our big brother is the kind of person who you have to come when he calls you and go when he tells you to go?”
“uh.”
I tapped the silent sword on my waist.
“I am a person who can do that.”
“Where did this kid get his cockiness… … Huh?”
The gang members’ voices grow quieter.
A belated look at my weapons.
The sword worn on the waist doesn’t look particularly special at first glance.
However, the Mjolnir on the other side, the Aegis on the left forearm, and the magical weapons covering the entire body are clearly distinctive.
Especially my face.
Even though I am hidden behind a golden magic curtain, it is impossible for anyone not to recognize me.
If you are a gang member living in Daerim-dong, the neighborhood next to Guro-dong.
“Wha, the silent sword master!”
A gang member who screams like a screamer.
I was pressing the emergency button like crazy.
Sensing that he was doomed, he put his hands in his pockets.
To take out the gun.
But I was faster.
Boom!
With a light push, the chunk of flesh falls out, spitting out blood.
As soon as it hit the iron door, there was a loud bang.
My magical power contained in the lump tore the iron door apart.
As I entered without drawing my sword or Mjolnir, the gang members who were just coming down looked at me and raised their eyes.
“what!”
“It’s an attack!”
“Where are you from? The Sword Demon faction? The Grim Reaper faction? Surely you’re not the Iron Fist faction?”
What is the Geommapa and what is the Sashinpa?
The name of the gang is just so fancy.
I laughed once and pulled out my pistols.
A pair of antique-looking, magically-powered, dual-wielding pistols that look extraordinary at first glance.
It was only then that the gangsters recognized me.
“Wow, it’s the silent sword!”
“f*ck, I’m screwed!”
“Jump!”
It’s too late.
Tata tata tang!
I fired my twin pistols.
With the following traits equipped: Gunslinger, Shooting, Aiming.
To be honest, you can beat them all now without switching traits.
Would you win even if you fought without any specialization?
But a tiger uses all its might even when catching a rabbit.
Because of my experience hunting while taking advantage of high-level superhumans’ carelessness, I used my abilities to the best of my ability when dealing with these scumbags.
Tata tata tang!
In the air, he sharpens his magazine, fires rapidly, sharpens it again, and fires rapidly again.
Bullets passed through the walls and tore through the gang members.
Low-level gang members who came down to the first floor without knowing anything.
Executives lying in ambush on the 2nd and 3rd floors.
The boss and key executives who were collecting documents and cash at the top.
They were all hit by my bullets.
There was no need to take out the shotgun and sniper rifle that were stored in the armory.
Even though I only used dual pistols, they all rolled their eyes and lost consciousness.
“Go in and take them out. There are no traps.”
“Yes, Your Majesty the Muteki Sword Master.”
I retrieved the dual pistols and went up to the top floor.
Anyway, I’m telling you that Dasan Tomb is a scam.
[Youngtan] Attribute.
It passes through walls and only stuns, so it’s perfect for catching bugs.
“This is crazy.”
Arrived at the top floor.
There were a lot of wads of cash.
It wasn’t even a bundle of 10,000 won bills. They were all 50,000 won bills.
There are also dozens of gold bars there.
How much does it all add up to?
I sat down in the executive chair and waited.
When the first security personnel arrived, they were shocked to see bundles of cash and gold bars.
“If anyone has spare hands, check how many there are.”
“yes!”
The result is 22.1 billion.
The 5 billion won in cash that was previously received from the Sun Tower Master weighs nearly 100 kilograms.
Even if it’s mixed with gold, 22.1 billion isn’t a small amount.
I quickly checked the documents and shook my head.
“These guys are really evil. They’ve committed every illegal act, from selling drugs to human trafficking. They’ve even sucked up all the redevelopment compensation money.”
“What would you like to do?”
“Take him to Kuro-dong. We will publicly execute him there.”
The boss of the castle faction is level 2.
I was subdued, but was just coming to my senses.
The boss raised his head and shouted.
“What right have you!”
“You took my money. I have the right to do that.”
“Let’s do it according to the law! According to the law!”
“Oh, I’m following the law. Don’t you know the five privileges of a superhuman? Haven’t you heard of the privilege of sanctions?”
“I, I also have the right to be tried… … .”
“There’s no such thing. Do you think it’s okay to continue to prey on poor and uneducated people like you used to? You should have thought about who the money came from. Take them away.”
“Oh, no!”
When the boss started making noise, the first security guard hit him in the mouth.
All of his teeth are knocked out and he is covered in blood.
Even though he’s an employee, he’s a level 3 superhuman.
The level 2 boss couldn’t even resist.
Soon I was being dragged around like a dog.
“Woojin. Mark the next target.”
[Yes. I will display all the reports that came in at once.]
Several objectives were displayed on the Geumohan HUD.
I saw that and laughed out loud.
“This many?”
[Yes. The gangs in Guro-dong and Daerim-dong all had a feast of reward money. The residents didn’t get much of the money. Maybe 10% at most?]
“Ha. Should I have prepared thoroughly before doing it?”
[It won’t work. The civil servants are in the same boat. There are a lot of fake civil servants.]
“This won’t work in a day or two. I’m sorry, but can you block all the way to Kuro-dong? I’ll definitely give you a bonus. I just made a ton of money.”
[Okay. Actually, considering what the teacher did for me, I should do it for free, but I have a lot of dependents… … .]
“You have to clearly distinguish between public and private life.”
It came like a storm.
They turned Daerim-dong into a wasteland.
Is it because I work with people?
I’ve developed two traits that I never thought I had.
[Command][Order]
A trait that the original captain of the Sky Ship possessed.
Not bad.
I’m not sure I’ll ever use the General build, but it’s helpful when running a Kim party or at least raising disciples.
Thanks to these two characteristics, we were able to subdue the gangs more quickly.
“The extermination of the Sword Demon faction has been completed.”
“We found 19.9 billion won worth of cash and gold in the secret vault of the Sashinpa.”
“I caught the Bloodthirsty One running away! I’ll drag him in now!”
The gang tried to escape after hearing the news, but failed.
The first security force had complete control of the ground and even the sewers.
How do you break through a siege net made up of at least level 3 superhumans with a gang theme?
He was caught while running away, and after resisting, he was caught again and was publicly executed.
Thud!
“next!”
“S-save me! The boss told me to do this! The boss told me to do it all!”
“Noisy, next!”
Hundreds of people were beheaded each day.
It wasn’t just gang members.
The same goes for bank employees and civil servants who conspired.
They say they are bankers and civil servants, but they are financial criminals and administrative appeals.
In the first place, this is an area without public authority, so there is no way that a bank or a public official can be real.
Most of them are scammers and impersonators.
“We plan to build administrative welfare centers in Guro-dong and Daerim-dong.”
A person who said he was the Chief of Staff to the Prime Minister came out and spoke.
There was a bright smile on his face.
“It was the most dark area in Seoul, but I didn’t know it could be solved so easily. As expected, it’s the Mukho Sword Master.”
“It’s not over yet.”
“Haha, that’s right. We also need to build a police station, a fire station, a hospital, and a school.”
That’s not what I said.
I’ve been busy these past few days, but I haven’t forgotten my original purpose.
Terrorist League.
What is the reason for causing this fuss?
To catch them.
To show you that if you touch me, you’ll be completely ruined.
“Your Majesty the Silent Sword.”
After the chief secretary left, Kim Cheol-kwon requested an interview with me.
“Found it.”
The outskirts of Daerim-dong.
In a place completely different from where Choi’s blood was found.
The terrorist league and the artificial secret zone were hiding like a viper’s den.
