Chapter 34: The New Zone Representative (1)
Ryu Mins rejection momentarily stunned Jo Joong-sik.
He never expected the ck Scythe to turn down his offer.
Wait, hold on! Did I hear you right? Youre epting 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 doesnte back.
As if to emphasize that point, the ck 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 nonchnce, 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 yers who witnessed this scene had different expressions in their eyes.
Did you all see that? The rejection of the offer?
It seems like the ck Scythe haspletely abandoned him.
Thank goodness. I was worried about what would happen if the ck Scythe actually helped.
Life can be quite unpredictable.
Now we can breathe easy and kill him without hesitation.
The yers 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 epted ck 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 diator.
Even if Im going down, Ill take at least one more person with me.
Looking at the group of over thirty yers, 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.
Even if they were under the control of the authority.
Cant be helped. I have to find a way to get out of this situation alone
And then, someone he had forgotten appeared before Jo Joong-sik.
Senior!
Hwang Yongmin?
Jo Joong-sik was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the burly figure.
Where were you, junior?
I came to help you because it seemed like you needed it!
Yeah, thanks! Once I recover, Ill make sure to repay you
Jo Joong-sik couldnt finish his sentence.
Suddenly, his vision shed, and he caught a glimpse of the sky.
Senior.
In Jo Joong-siks field of vision, Hwang Yongmin stood with a raised fist.
Ill make it easier for you to die.
You you betray
Thump! Thump! Thud!
Hwang Yong-mins powerful blows rained down on Jo Joong-siks face.
Before losing consciousness, Jo Joong-sik saw Hwang Yongmin, grinning like a demon.
Damn it Im betrayed by someone like Hwang Yongmin
Thud!
Jo Joong-siks breath ceased as he lost consciousness.
[Zone representative Life is a Documentary has died.]
[Authority is transferred to the killer.]
[yer Hwang Yong-min has be the new zone representative of ESKS45-5.]
After the message appeared, Hwang Yongmin finally ceased his punching.
He raised his bloodied fist and burst intoughter.
Hahaha! Now Im the zone representative! Im the king!
He also checked his newly acquired skill, the power of the Authority.
Though he could only use it ten times, it granted him immense power over non-specialized yers.
That should be enough! As long as I set my mind to it, I can make Seo Arin do whatever I want. Hehehe!
In truth, this was his goal of bing a representative.
To make his ideal, Seo Arin, his obedient ve.
Ive reached Level 9, and Seo Arin probably hasnt advanced yet. Hoho.
Hwang Yong-minughed gleefully, thinking about using the Authority on Seo Arin.
His innocentughter left the other yers dumbfounded.
What happened? Wasnt he just ackey for the gangsters?
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? Inded 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 friendsughed 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 calcted 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 yers.
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 yers.
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 be the zone representative himself.
I will make good use of this power. Hehe.
After briefly contemting 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 theyreing after me? Heh heh.
Yet Hwang Yong-min didnt show fear or hesitation.
Because he had a glimmer of trust.
ck Scythe!
Hwang Yong-min rushed straight towards Ryu Min.
