How the Villain Lives

24. Stations at stations.

People everywhere in the Clock Tower turned their gazes to look carefully at Sung-hoon going up the stairs. A reaction that doesn't seem to be annoying, it seems to be annoying even to get involved. Of course, some people, whether they were all dealing with coercion or not, were cautiously on their own.

After not even watching much, Sung-hoon smiled and began to sneak down on the floor and relax as he touched the ball with growing pressure.

'That's the top.'

With Jack's only margin left, Sung-hoon finally took out the amulet and threw it on top. The amulet made of paper is extremely clandestine to notice. All preparations are complete. All that's left now is to execute. When I arrived at the top floor, suppressing the feeling of vomiting, I heard Jack's pleasant voice.

"You're here sooner than I expected. Ghost?"

"Time is gold."

"Huhuhu. You still look relaxed."

"The motto of my life is to live like a toddler. I'm thinking how good it would be to be able to smile like Jack all the time."

"Don't paint my face too hard. I can only see you making fun of me when you say that."

'I mean it myself.'

His relaxation comes from acting and Jack's relaxation comes from nature.

Jack pretends to know everything, even if there is something he doesn't know, and always pretends to be relaxed, while Jack doesn't act like he doesn't know anything. It was because he had that much confidence in his abilities.

'Don't try to fool me. I am weaker than Jack, nothing insignificant. But you don't have to give up. No matter how great I am, I will drag him into the mud and disturb him and make his face crack.'

After finishing the simple mind control, Sung-hoon lifted his mood and looked around.

'No one's hiding. No, it's just something I can't detect.'

"So let's make a deal in earnest? I'll give you the heart of flames, three sets of heroes, one headband of perms and four billion guilds. Right?"

"That's right. Don't make a fuss. Make a deal. Give me the heart of the flame."

"Well, I'm really sorry, but I can't. just in case you don't know."

"What would happen? You and I have already agreed not to harm each other. Besides, we even signed a contract to hand over things to each other, and there's something unexpected going on here?"

"Enough can happen. There was a provision to hand over the goods, but there was no provision to hand over when. If Jack takes things and washes his mouth, I'm going to snore with my eyes open."

Jack didn't panic a bit. Rather, he sighed and slightly lowered his head.

"Without this kind of trust, we have to trust each other more to make a better world."

"I think so too. But it's hard to believe that the world is so chaotic these days."

"Okay, so what are you going to do? If I hand over the stuff first, you're worried I might get scammed, aren't you?"

"Nothing to worry about. We just need to add two more things to the contract. Jack gives me stuff. And within three minutes of receiving the item, I also hand over the item. Isn't it just a matter of adding this clause?"

Jack keeps his mouth shut as he tries to accept something steamy. However, no matter how you think about it, there were no disadvantages for you. This was his hunting ground, and he only believed in the contract and was the prey that entered deep into the Tulletale Enemy.

'No matter how resourceful you are to fly, do you think there is a way to work among dozens of rankers? No, even if you don't have to go there, you're done at the time you handed over the goods.'

"Fine. That won't be a problem."

After adding two new conditions, Jack began to hand over the promised items without hesitation. In that boldness, Sung-hoon was once again surprised. However, I began to wear the equipment I had received while still not looking inward.

"You're wearing it right now? You don't think you're gonna take it back from someone?"

"Who took it? And good items are hidden in the corner and lose their value. I have to use it when I can.

You have worn a set of heroes.

All stats +50.

Increases all attribute resistance by 20%.

Adds' Heroic Descent! 'skill.

"Heroic descent?"

Jack's voice was heard in the ear of Seonghun, who examined the skill's description roughly.

"What are you so dumb about? If you don't give me the heart of the flame, it's a breach of contract?"

"I see. But why don't you think about this?"

"What do you think?"

"The idea that I might eat items like this. Have you ever heard of it? It's a pretty famous word in South Korea. Cook."

I didn't know the meaning of the word "eat," but when I put it aside in context, I could guess the meaning roughly. When Sung-hoon laughed, Jack also laughed.

"4 Billion Guild, 3 Unique Items and 1 Elite Item. In return for this much, one life is a kick. It's probably a good condition to accept a normal, or even a ranker, without hesitation."

"So you want to tell me what to eat now?"

"No, it's not like that. because I value my life. I don't know what I said before, but I think I'm a little short on my life right now. I don't know if I can give you any fresh items."

He hid his left hand behind his neck and pushed it forward again, and a red hexagon-shaped jewel impregnated with red energy fell between his fingers.

"It's authentic. Take it."

"I don't have to tell you. Satisfactory deal, ghost. It's been a long time since I've seen an interesting human like you, but it's too bad we have to break up here."

It was a strange tone, but Sung-hoon also said with a smile.

"I was satisfied with the deal, too. I wanted to stay in good relationship with Jack until the end. Huhu."

"That's it, hahahaha!"

Jack slowly reaches out and grabs the manna stone. Jack grabbed the upper part of the jewel, which was about the size of a finger, and he gently pulled his arm inwards. This will cause the heart of the flame to enter into itself, and the ghost will be overwhelmed. I thought so.

And as soon as the jewel fell from the ghost's finger, the trigger was pulled.

Fit!

The first thing that happened was that a small blood stem rose from the finger of the Holy Hun. Even with a ranker's AGI, it is possible to accelerate consciousness and make various thoughts in one second. And Jack could see the cause of the blood stem rising from Sung-hoon's finger.

'Blade?!'

The small piece of blade that was hidden between the jewel and the finger was the cause. When it was simply pressed, there was no problem, but the moment the jewel was pulled, the blade piece was also pulled, cutting off the finger of the Holy Hun. This could be treated as an apparent "attack" that had no room to look around.

A legitimate contract is triggered.

All stats are reduced by 30%. HP is reduced by 1% compulsorily every minute. This curse lasts for 72 hours.

"Are you crazy?!"

Jack was forced to scream, not scream, because of the momentary powerlessness and curse that came over his body. Of course, Sung-hoon did not make things better.

Ying!

The moment the jewel escaped from his hand, he realized that something was spinning and that it was flying away at his chest. The attack, which flew suddenly without any sign, was comparable to that of Choi Yoo Jae, the best assassin in Korea. I was on my own guard, but there was no way to deal with this attack.

The acceleration, tap-dancing, vaporization, and volunteer steps were all triggered and twisted sideways at a rate that seemed to leave a residue, but it was impossible to get out of orbit completely.

Kwajik!

A wheel with a small saw blade cut off the flank. Fortunately, the Fire Dragon Armor was torn apart, so I couldn't dig deep enough to defend it, but it was never just a minor injury.

"Ambush?"

He hurriedly drew out the sword, scattering the blood, and Jack, who drew out Claymore with a body that was clearly slower than before, shouted at each other without saying anything first.

"You coward!"
