Regression Sword Apocalypse Reconquest - Chapter 36
Only Noblemtl
Episode 36
The party noticed a small crowd at the entrance to the hunting grounds.
The rumbling sound seems like a lot of people are gathered together and waiting for something.
Sehyuk stood at the back of the crowd and observed the situation.
“Oh, when are you going to let me out! It’s all over already!”
A group of shabby people standing still and venting their grievances.
And in front of it, people in black suits were blocking the road.
The badge of the Oh Jeong Group, signifying that they were Oh Ji-hoon’s subordinates, shone on their chests.
Sehyuk, who was watching the scene, gritted his teeth.
‘These kids are trying to shoot at humans?’
People in black suits blocking the dimensional gate.
They were pointing their pistols at the people standing in front of them.
“If you ignore the warning and try to leave, I will shoot!”
At those words, people hesitate.
A situation where most people are walking around wearing torn shirts.
Even if it’s a pistol, people still die when they get shot.
Believing that, Oh Ji-hoon is acting out of spite.
The atmosphere was tense.
Nothing much has happened yet, but there are uneasy signs that if someone rushes in, it could quickly turn into a fight.
Then, some of the people in suits controlling the crowd picked up the walkie-talkie.
And then they started pointing at Sehyuk and his group.
“I think it’s those people!”
“Get out of the way, you little shits!”
Two of the men in suits pushed the people away roughly and approached Sehyuk and his group.
“what?”
The eyes of the crowd were fixed on Sehyuk and his group, or more precisely, on Sehyuk.
And then, Jang Young-soo whispers to Se-hyeok as if he knows something.
“Oh, maybe you were looking for the person who ended this situation.”
And, Jang Young-soo’s insight was pretty good.
“Please wait a moment! Mr. Oh Ji-hoon says he has something to tell you.”
Two men in suits rush out through the crowd and block Se-hyeok and his group’s path.
“Oh. Are you going to give me a reward or something?”
Se-hyeok glared at Park Sun-hwan, who was oblivious, unlike Jang Yeong-su.
“I meant it well….”
Under his stinging gaze, Park Sun-hwan became slightly sullen.
Leaving him alone, Sehyuk took a step forward.
“Why are you blocking the road?”
“Mr. Oh Ji-hoon said he really wanted to meet the people who stopped the monsters. It’ll be over soon.”
Park Sun-hwan’s prediction was correct.
‘But this is clearly not a meeting with a positive meaning, such as giving a reward.’
Sehyuk could feel it.
These people do not feel relieved or fortunate.
Rather, their wavering eyes showed emotions close to anxiety and worry.
Clearly, there must be some ulterior motive behind keeping them captive and not letting them go.
‘Well, I guess I kind of expected it. Let’s see how it turns out.’
Sehyuk waited leisurely for a moment for them.
Soon, people in suits ran in the other direction and brought Oh Ji-hoon.
‘This kid is still the same.’
Oh Ji-hoon walked slowly and arrogantly, escorted by the Hunter Federation people.
“huh?”
Then, a person staggered toward Oh Ji-hoon’s procession.
A middle-aged man walking while holding his bleeding arm and stomach.
“Please, let me out… .”
You can tell just by looking at her pale face.
It seems that although he did not die from the colony’s disaster, he was deeply wounded.
Oh Ji-hoon looked down at the hunched man holding onto his sleeve.
He took action right away.
“Ha, what is it? I’m busy, so get out of here.”
thud!
Oh Ji-hoon pushed the old man away as if he was throwing away trash without a second thought.
The old man rolled around on the floor.
The old man who had fallen to the floor flinched and did not move.
Several people who were watching the scene ran over and hurriedly helped the old man up.
“Are you okay?”
“Breathe, aren’t you breathing? Hey! Let me out quickly!”
But Oh Ji-hoon didn’t even pretend to listen to what people were saying.
“I feel like I’m in a bad mood.”
Leaving those words behind, Oh Ji-hyeok slowly approaches Se-hyeok and his group.
“Hey, you guys are the heroes who stopped the monsters here.”
Oh Se-hyeok laughs broadly and looks Se-hyeok and his group up and down in an unpleasant manner.
‘What if they recognize Jang Young-soo and Park Sun-hwan?’
But such worries were meaningless.
Oh Ji-hoon stares at Se-hyeok without saying a word.
Not only does he not show any sign of recognizing the other two, he doesn’t even pay attention to them.
As Jang Young-soo said, the bastard had no interest in his subordinates at all.
They realize that Sehyuk is the leader of this group and only care about Sehyuk.
‘Typical strong-weak-weak-strong. You’re just picking out things that make people dislike you.’
A man who doesn’t even remember his subordinates who sacrificed their lives for him.
There is no separate trash.
‘Knowing and utilizing the abilities of your subordinates properly is also a quality of a good leader.’
It was an action typical of Oh Ji-hoon, who lacks both humanity and ability.
“Is there a problem? Please listen to me quickly.”
Oh Ji-hoon with an arrogant and shameless expression.
The guy reached out his hand towards Sehyuk.
“If you had prevented the disaster, you would have been rewarded.”
He waves his outstretched hand as if urging me on.
“Hand it over.”
A mean smile appears on Oh Ji-hoon’s face.
Sehyuk immediately realized the situation.
‘This is how it’s going to turn out.’
Crunch!
Oh Ji-hoon’s men load their pistols.
‘I knew it. If I don’t hand it over, he’ll try to force it away.’
How many times have we done this?
Sehyuk clenched his teeth so as not to reveal them.
These guys were nothing but a cancer to society.
“Those guys can’t even thank the people who worked hard for them.”
“It must be something incredible. Those damned bastards.”
People around me look at me and whisper with regret.
Sehyuk heard that sound and smiled twistedly inside.
‘Ha, right. I knew this would happen and prepared a countermeasure in advance. I can never give you the treasure.’
I can’t take it anymore.
How much have I suffered so far?
Now it’s time for Sehyuk to act a little more selfishly.
Finally, it’s time to give Oh Ji-hoon a piece of shit.
“Oh, is this what you mean?”
Sehyuk took out a Yeouiju that was emitting a brilliant five-colored light from his inventory.
An object that appears to have a powerful force to it.
Oh Ji-hoon’s face widened into a greedy smile when he saw that sight.
“Yes. Please give it here quickly.”
Naturally, Sehyuk did not hand over the Yeouiju to him.
Instead, he just holds the Yeouiju tightly.
“Why don’t you give it to me quickly?”
Oh Ji-hoon’s face twisted slightly as he looked at the sight.
“Do you really think you can beat us?”
“Just listen to me first.”
Hahaha! Hahaha!
Oh Ji-hoon let out a laugh.
“Okay. Let me hear what you have to say.”
Oh Ji-hoon is confident of victory.
Sehyuk gave the guy a cold smile.
“Did you know? This is an elixir that can be used to absorb things.”
Oh Ji-hoon also knows this fact.
He also came here after learning about this place through someone with a talent for exploration.
That’s why this threat works.
After saying that, Sehyuk put the Yeouiju to his lips.
“It’s a shame, but I’d rather die than give this away for free.”
The smile disappeared from Oh Ji-hoon’s face, which had been laughing.
I realized what Sehyuk’s actions meant.
Se-hyeok is currently holding Yeo-ui-ju and threatening her.
I’d rather eat it and destroy it than give it away for free.
And that was something that should never happen to Oh Ji-hoon.
A bet that never ends until someone gives up.
In this kind of bet, the one with the most courage and determination is the one who has the most advantage.
And Sehyuk was so confident in such things that he would be sad if he had to come in second.
“You crazy kid…!”
Oh Ji-hoon’s face suddenly distorts.
In contrast, Sehyuk is just smiling brightly again.
“Huh? You moved? You got startled and ended up eating it?”
The people around them just sit there and watch them, not knowing what to do.
A suffocating standoff ensued, with only one person left out.
The reason why Sehyuk didn’t eat Yeouiju sooner is simple.
Because it has such powerful power that it can change humans.
‘If I eat it, I’ll become a dragon who’s classified as a monster. I don’t want that.’
Sehyuk wanted to keep the human race if possible.
‘But if I’m going to give it to them, I might as well eat it.’
I can’t hand it over to those guys even if I end up dying.
A little time passed.
In the end, it was Oh Ji-hoon who gave in.
It was natural.
Because Oh Ji-hoon absolutely had to take the Yeouiju.
Oh Ji-hoon knows it too.
In a world where civilization has been destroyed, power is supreme.
And he’s obsessed with being special.
“Okay, then how about a deal? Tell me how much you want.”
As soon as he heard that, Sehyuk smiled brightly.
He is a man who knows how to use the advantage when he has it.
“Well? Wouldn’t it be better to sort out this confusing situation first? Then maybe I’ll get some ideas?”
“Please decide right now. I can’t wait.”
As soon as he heard that, Sehyuk bared his teeth.
This is psychological warfare.
Sehyuk has a genius ability to read the behavior patterns of his opponents.
We have already figured out Oh Ji-hoon’s psychology.
Oh Ji-hoon is playing in Se-hyeok’s palm.
Then, the only thing left is to imprint in Oh Ji-hoon’s mind that Se-hyeok is really the person who will eat the Yeouiju and give up his life.
That too was not a difficult task for Sehyuk.
Sehyuk’s courage is always filled with sincerity.
Because he had the best personality in Korea.
And Sehyuk is a person who knows how to convey his sincerity well to others.
“Yeah, what. You’re going to pressure me into lowering the price without giving me time to think about it? It’s so frustrating. I’ll just eat it. 10, 9, 8… .”
Slowly, the Yeouiju moves as if it were going to enter Sehyuk’s mouth.
“Okay, stop!”
“Huh? Are you speaking informally?”
“Okay, stop.”
After saying that, Oh Ji-hoon took a deep breath with an angry expression on his face, as if he didn’t know what to do.
Oh Ji-hoon nervously grabbed one of his subordinates.
Even a three-year-old could tell that he was grinding his teeth.
“Get these people out.”
Oh Ji-hoon’s subordinates moved slowly, keeping an eye on Oh Ji-hoon’s expression.
Oh Ji-hoon’s eyes were boiling with contempt.
Even in the midst of all this, Se-hyeok continues to smile and gently scratch Oh Se-hyeok.
“Oh, and it would be nice if you could also treat the old man who was looking for Mr. Oh Ji-hoon earlier.”
“This fucking thing… .”
thud!
In the end, Oh Se-hyeok got angry and roughly pushed his subordinate down, causing him to fall, and then grabbed Se-hyeok by the collar.
“Are you trying to use me under the pretext of this?”
However, Sehyuk just answers naturally.
“Eat well? Okay.”
And Sehyuk opened his mouth wide and put the Yeouiju into his mouth as if he was biting into it.
Oh Ji-hoon trembled when he saw that sight.
“Put your hand down. Just do it!”
After saying that, Oh Ji-hoon turns his head and nervously calls out to his subordinates.
Men in suits bandage the old man, and people leave the dungeon one by one.
Several people came to Sehyuk to express their gratitude.
After a while.
Everyone leaves, leaving only Oh Ji-hoon and Se-hyeok behind.
‘It’s time to go home now.’
This is where it gets important.
How to shake off the numerous gun-wielding subordinates of Oh Ji-hoon.
‘It’s a stupid method, but there’s a plan.’
A way to make Oh Ji-hoon’s outfit pop until the end.
