Chapter 144
Unbelief (1)
Ashley shakes her head.
I don’t know who he is. Rob from Harry Potter? I can’t see his face because he’s wearing the same thing. And the master who was standing in front of him vanished in an instant. Like it’s evaporating.
“Hmm…. ”
Lucas sighs.
I can’t believe he’s so strong he’s gone.
‘… That’s why Master, Jermaine didn’t show up on the last day. ’
If he evaporates before the end of the day.
While Lucas was thinking, Sang-woo asked a question.
“Maybe it’s just gone? You can use your skills and run away. It’s not like he’s totally dead. ”
Then Ashley disagreed.
I do, but my gut is telling me, because the sight of the future no longer being seen, and the sight of it disappearing, as if it were returning to nothing, seemed to be death. Either way, it’s just a guess, so you’re on your own for the rest of it.
She shrugs as if she no longer cared.
Instead, she rushes Lucas.
Now that I’ve given you the information, it’s your turn to make good on your promise. Lucas, you keep your word.
Lucas, who was still thinking about what he said, asked.
“Is there any other information about his future? Not dead. or a case.”
… Nothing. He doesn’t come out of his castle. if you’re greedy, you’re going to be very active.
It was weird.
According to Sang-woo, the power of Child Sin has been indirectly experienced through self-immolation, the owners of Child Sin are all compelled to feel the origin of their sin.
the constant hunger, the irresistible laziness, the burning jealousy of someone, and the outrageous cravings.
‘Greed would take everything away from me because of greed, no. ’
Sang-woo felt strange about the master, a man named Jermaine.
‘But it worked. I was a very strong man when I fought Master at the time, but if he had been fretting over greed for a long time… Phew. ’
If it had been so, the world would have been in chaos.
Sang-woo felt lucky.
While thinking about it, Lucas is finishing up his communication with Ashley.
“… Got it. I’ll pay you back soon. ”
Yeah, you have to keep your promise. Until today.
“Yes, goodbye. ”
Lucas has finished communicating with Ashley.
And as soon as the communication was over, Sang-woo asked Lucas about the storm.
He had been filled with doubts ever since he was told the Master had the symbol of greed.
“Lucas, did you already know about the man who is the Master? and that the master is a man who symbolizes greed. ”
Knowing that, there was a bit of rebuke that seemed to ask him to collect all the seven sin bells.
Lucas smiles bitterly.
“Yes, that’s right. I don’t know about Illuminati, one of the organizations I’m fighting. And the chief. ”
Lucas’ answer was already known.
Sang-woo felt a kind of betrayal.
“Ha, Lucas. I feel a little cheated. Do you have any idea how strong he is? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no ”
Of course, Sang-woo didn’t think he could ever beat a man named Master.
He was confident he could win if he targeted his masters with skills such as his Nuclear Laser, Stormbringer Sword, and Dragon Wind Charm.
“If you don’t like it, you can eat it with your glotney. It’s gonna be a problem catching him, though. ’
But the problem was that it was dangerous to leave.
‘If it is true that an organization called Illuminati is ruling the world behind…. ’
It was a matter of getting involved.
Once we become entangled, we become hostile to the great forces of Illuminati.
In other words, the family could be in danger again.
‘I was so unemployed. He could have harmed me and my family when he ran away. You were too cautious to put up with a few bodyguards of the dead. ’
Of course, I didn’t know exactly who the Master was.
It was just Sang-woo’s impression of Sang-woo that he was’ a madman ’before.
But now that I know, things have changed.
“Lucas, I’m sorry, but I don’t have to collect Child Sins. ”
Sang-woo told Lucas in a clear tone.
Lucas nods as if he understands.
“Hmm… I see. Actually, that’s why I didn’t tell you. Sang-woo might get scared. ”
Nuance, who looked like Sang-woo was‘ weak ’, returned.
Sang-woo heard an answer that seemed to allow him to terminate the contract as he wished, but he secretly felt bad.
“I’m scared? Why would you think that? ”
It’s Sang-woo.
Lucas shrugs.
“Yes, the Master is very strong. I knew him well when I was expanding my business. He was… stronger than me. ”
Lucas looks calm.
But Sang-woo was a bit absurd.
“No, why is it that you’re stronger than Lucas and stronger than me? You mean Lucas is stronger than me? ”
Sang-woo was already offended, so he immediately blew the question to the ground.
Lucas grins.
“Isn’t that obvious? I am the chairman of the world’s largest group, the Inlighten. We cleared Odin’s Tower, the only one in the world. You’re not mistaking me for everything I’ve seen, are you? ”
Lucas turns cold.
Surprisingly, the frowning look on his face was stiff with a mixture of nagging.
‘Well… the man who has formed the world’s best group with his bare hands, may not be as kind. And the ability to hide it. ’
Sang-woo realized his thoughts were short.
But that’s it, that’s this.
His trust was already broken.
The Master, a symbol of greed, felt strongly about hiding information about people and trying to eat them by himself.
“Let’s say so. Lucas, you’re stronger than me. But, you know, it’s kind of embarrassing to leave someone who’s stronger than you. I thought you were a great entrepreneur, Mr. Lucas, acting for humanity rather than for personal self-interest. That’s why we were willing to be together. But I think I’ve got the wrong person. ”
“I’m so sorry about that. But it was also a very careful decision for me to make. If I didn’t trust Sang-woo, would I have made such an offer? And now I’m suddenly upset and I’m offended by the way that I talk. I’m sorry.”
Lucas admits he made a mistake and apologizes seriously.
But Sang-woo no longer had feelings for him.
“Well, Lucas is a person, so maybe. However, since trust has been broken, it will be difficult for us to work together to collect seven sins in the future. Looks like you’re gonna have to collect them yourself. Goodbye.”
“… Sang-woo, you’re really going to end this… ”
After finishing his sentence, Sang-woo opens the sub-space without waiting for Lucas’ reply and returns the body he was talking to.
Sang-woo, who had finished connecting with his identity, was lying in bed thinking.
‘There is no one I can trust in the world. Lucas is stronger than me, by the way? ’
Of course, I never thought I’d lose to Lucas again.
Whatever power he’s hiding.
But it’s dangerous for him to be fighting with a man of wealth, power and honor like Lucas.
That’s why I just stepped back from the line of cleaning up the relationship.
‘If you really stick together, I’ll step on you. Oh, my fist is crying. ’
Sang-woo beats Lucas in his imagination.
Then a phone call came to his smart goggle.
Sender visibility limit
It was an unknown phone call.
“Who? Spam. ’
Sang-woo, who originally didn’t have a number or received a strange number well.
So he tried to ignore it and turn it off. Suddenly, he changed his mind and connected the phone.
“Hello?”
… Mr. Jungwoo?
Then the sound familiar to the ears.
However, the language was English.
Looking at the interpretation of the translator that comes to mind in the smart goggle, Sang-woo asked.
“Yes, that’s right. Who are you?”
Sang-woo asked me again because I couldn’t remember his voice from somewhere.
Hi Sang-woo. It’s Ashley.
“Ashleigh… huh? Ashley or Oracle? ”
It was Oracle, the woman who had just been communicating with Lucas.
Yes, it is.
“Oh, I don’t know why your voice sounded familiar, it was Ashley. Nice to meet you. But what brings you here? ”
With the question, Sang-woo’s mind was also filled with doubts.
How did you know to call me if you didn’t even give me your number? But what’s wrong with me? ’
And Ashley solved that question right away.
I just wanted to reach out to Sang-woo. I figured out the number with my abilities.
“Oh… yes. I get it, but what are you saying? Tell me.”
I’ll cut to the chase. Lucas… don’t hang out with that son of a bitch.
That made me think Sang-woo was a little funny.
‘This is no elementary school and I don’t want to go with anyone… Hehehe. ’
Sang-woo asked again, holding back for a little smile.
“Why? I want to know why. ”
I spit it out as if Ashley was waiting for me.
Because Lucas is a son of a bitch. You’re being deceived. If I find out what that bastard did… I won’t be able to like Lucas. No, you’re gonna hate it. He’s crazy to do anything for his own purposes, especially for the system.
“The system?”
Sang-woo asked a question.
“What did Lucas do with the system? ”
Look at his gait. He set up the Enlighten Group, and what kind of business he was in.
It reminded me of Sang-woo’s march by the Inlighten group.
“Of course, I know the guild business, the Hunter Equipment business, and the new material business. ”
You know, with the government. The Awakening Program.
“Oh, right. Awakening program. I was awakened to it. ”
And then Sang-woo found out what Ashley was trying to say.
However, it only adds to his question.
“But why is that? Awakening is a good thing. We use the portal to safely awaken the world. ”
Yes, it is.
After the upheaval, an intermittent awakening occurred among people.
It was pure luck, but the sane man suddenly woke up one day.
Scholars were speculating that a large amount of Mana had evolved as it entered the portal through a massive transition.
However, with the exception of that minority, most people had no choice but to live as ordinary humans as anaesthetics.
But why?
One day, it became known that you could awaken once you crossed a particular portal.
And the Awakening Program, which was planned and implemented as soon as the information was released.
The first thing the Inlighten Group tried was to set up a safe zone beyond the portal to raise people safely.
“Aren’t there side effects beyond the portal? ”
“That’s right. You said there was an alien virus. ”
“How strong is that safe zone? If a monster breaks, it just breaks down, doesn’t it? ”
Most people were initially tense.
It was hard to believe in the safety of the Awakening Program because he had already undergone a major debacle and was widespread in fear of monsters.
“Whatever. I’m gonna die trying to suck the butt of an Awakened man as an anesthetic. I’d rather die than wake up. ”
“That’s right, isn’t it? Short, thick gazelles!”
But the world is full of brave pioneers.
With the challenge of a few brave men, the eagerness of the Awakening Program began to spread the word.
“No side effects! ”
“Rather than the average Awakener, we have a special ability called the ’System’! ”
“The system is an attractive ability to see your abilities as objective as a game! ”
“Awakening as a system user makes it easier to gain abilities! ”
They were safely Awakened through the Awakening Program, and later became Hunters, agents of the government.
As their agenda became known, people gradually found an Awakening Program, which is now an essential program.
‘I was also awakened last year by participating in the Awakening Program. ’
The power of the Awakening Program that even Sang-woo, who had not been awakened for 21 years.
And after that, Sang-woo’s life was completely different.
From ugly pig to warm muscle man.
A class A hunter from a cornerstone game crasher.
‘It’s a great program. Looks like Lucas was a genius after all. ’
Rather, Sang-woo saw Lucas well.
But it wasn’t Ashley.
That’s what Sang-woo thinks. But even if you knew the truth, would you be sure Lucas was a good man?
Ashley suddenly reveals the truth.
Sang-woo asked.
“What is the truth? ”
At that, Ashley sighs and opens her mouth.
It was a very serious tone.
The truth is… Lucas is a regretter.
