Episode 96
“Ahhhhh!”
Rusty screamed, clutching his hand as he missed the shot.
The stone that had pierced his hand fell to his feet.
Haon looked blankly at Rusty’s hand dripping with blood, then raised his head.
A beautiful and lonely looking man stood there.
“Nova?”
“Look at the blood splatter. It’s too far for me to run over and stop it.”
Nova lifted Haon up, smiled brightly, and stepped on Rusty’s back.
“Eww! Nova! Stop it!”
Rusty thrashed and clawed at the ground in agony as his bones and organs were crushed. The polite language he always used disappeared.
“What should I do so that I can quit?”
“Surrender! Nova! I surrender!”
“I like it because you understand what I say.”
Nova stepped away, still smiling.
“Will you turn off now?”
Rusty, who was coughing loudly, ran away with his bleeding hand wrapped around it.
Ha-on, who had been out of his mind from the series of events that had occurred in a short period of time, suddenly came to his senses and took back his cell phone.
“Blue. Find the boat.”
[Scans the surrounding area. No magicians other than Haon are detected.]
“You mean it disappeared in the meantime?”
But then again, it may not be completely hidden.
Haon rubbed his cold wrist.
Hiding, destroying the mana shield, and attacking. This was no different from declaring war that Bae An-jae had returned.
I was thinking of checking the underground passage in Area 2 when Nova approached me.
“It’s nice to see something alive and moving.”
His gaze moved from head to toe as if checking everything. Haon was also busy examining his complexion.
“Nova. I was worried because you suddenly disappeared.”
“I thought you’d be worried. That’s just the kind of person you are.”
Haon glanced at Nova’s expression, which seemed both relieved and distressed, and then hesitated before asking.
“Did I treat Nova badly?”
“… … .”
His gorgeous, pretty eyes crinkled and he smiled in a different way than before.
“He was really mean.”
“ah…….”
While Haon was hesitating whether he should apologize or not, the residents of District 4 who had stuck their heads out the window started to murmur.
“Rusty surrendered to Nova?”
“Then the new owner of District 4 is… … .”
“Is it Nova?”
At that sound, Haon also thought, ‘Oh, really?’
But then suddenly Nova knelt down in front of Haon.
“No, Nova. What’s wrong?”
“I surrender.”
“yes?”
“I surrender too, Eunhaon. You win.”
Instead of a white flag, the hem of his pure white clothes fluttered. It was the defensive equipment Haon had made for him.
“Even if you treat me badly, there’s nothing I can do. Was this a fight where I was no match for you?”
“what…….”
As Haon stood there with a bewildered look on his face, he opened the box and held it out.
“This is yours. My boss.”
Inside was a magnificent headdress with a ruby in it. It was the spoil of District 4.

Old Town District 5.
“This is driving me crazy! We have to join hands!”
After hearing the news from District 4, Twoshot immediately went to find Weaver.
“Galaxy On is planning to take over the entire old city now! Who knows who will be next, one of us!”
While Twoshot was pacing around Weaver’s office, snorting, Weaver sat leisurely.
Even though his entire face was covered in skull tattoos, Weaver had an elegance that couldn’t be hidden.
“Well, I don’t think they’ll touch Area 5.”
“How can you guarantee that? And as long as you don’t touch Area 5, you don’t mind if Eunhaon eats Area 3?”
The two-shot showed Weaver’s relaxed demeanor, which was quite suspicious.
Although Weaver tended to manage Sector 5 more insularly than other bosses, he was always cooperative when it came to joining forces.
But now that the Milky Way has already taken over three districts… … .
“You’ve already joined hands with Eunhaon?”
When Twoshot glared at him with a chilling expression, Weaver gestured for him to sit down as if he was tired.
“Calm down. There’s a reason why Eunhaon chose to occupy Districts 2 and 4.”
“What, what is it?”
At those words, Twoshot quickly pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Weaver. He looked dumbfounded at the answer.
“It must be because you messed with children.”
“What does that matter? Eunhaon hates children. Have you forgotten?”
“The current Milky Way is a bit… no, a lot different than it was in the past.”
“But that’s true. You just have to leave the kids alone?”
Twoshot seemed to be uneasy about Weaver’s words, but she didn’t try to persuade him.
Anyway, Two Shot didn’t want the labor of children like me.
It wasn’t a question of compassion or ethics. It was a question of efficiency.
‘The easiest way to collect protection money is for residents to live reasonably well and be healthy. How foolish.’
Weaver was the longest-serving boss in Old Town.
The residents of District 5 also considered Weaver, who always gave them a chance to breathe, to be better than the bosses of other districts.
That is, until the Galaxy completely remodeled Sector 1.
‘It will be difficult to properly manage all three districts, so should I wait for one to collapse? Or should I join in the effort to change the atmosphere of the old city?’
The old town was a place intertwined with complex circumstances.
People’s lives do not become more affluent simply because the roads are cleaned and maintained.
Weaver didn’t know when Eunhaon would notice it or how he would solve the new problems, but he thought it was not the right time to just blindly hold back.
“Bullets and knives won’t work, so what should I do… … . Should I just release some poison?”
So, that kind of nonsense about two shots was just laughable.
“Potions don’t work, so how can poison work? Let’s just wait and see what happens.”
“What the hell are you so relaxed about!”
Unable to overcome his anxiety, Twoshot stood up and slammed the table, causing the vase to tip over onto the floor from the impact.
With a crash, shards of shattered pottery and water splashed up to Weaver’s ankles. The flowers scattered in a mess were a disaster.
Twoshot hesitated and stepped back with a look of confusion on his face.
Weaver stared at the two-shot without moving, but a murderous sense of oppression enveloped his entire body.
“T, that was on purpose… … .”
He averted his gaze, sweating profusely.
‘An unpleasant woman. Her face is completely covered with skull tattoos, so you can’t even read her expression.’
Weaver has always been the most difficult of the bosses to deal with. Even Rusty, the oldest and most experienced, wasn’t quite up to the mark.
It was okay when I was with other bosses, but whenever I had a private meeting with them, I felt like a subordinate and my insides got twisted.
It was something that could have been overlooked with a polite apology as usual, but now that Eunhaon had taken over the old city in a short period of time, Twoshot felt the need to establish his position.
I didn’t want to sound disappointing to anyone among the three bosses of the old town.
‘Damn it. I’m an Awakened one too. I’m the boss of a district too!’
He opened his eyes, which he had been avoiding, and glared at Weaver.
Weaver also seemed to have no intention of tolerating that attitude any longer and quietly got up from his seat.
It felt like bullets and knives could fly at any moment.
dripping.
The cold atmosphere was suddenly shattered by a knock at the door.
Their eyes both turned to the door at the same time, and before Weaver could open his mouth, the door opened.
“Do you need any help? I think I can help you.”
A man wearing Rusty’s fedora walked in with a limp.
“I told you not to let anyone in.”
Weaver rolled the knife in his hand and spoke in warning.
The Weaver’s mark was already stamped on the man’s head. Now, no matter where Weaver threw the knife, it would fall on the man’s head.
Two-shot was already aiming his loaded gun at the man, but he paid no attention and continued speaking.
“I wonder if you’ve heard the news that a new hero headquarters is coming to District 2.”
Weaver’s eyes narrowed at the shocking words and Twoshot was shocked.
“This crazy bitch… … !”
That was a more serious problem than a turf war. What kind of gang would let heroes settle in their territory?
“How is it? Are you feeling more inclined to talk now?”
The man chuckled and took off his fedora, throwing it on the floor. Bae An-jae’s face, which had been hidden, was revealed.

As was the case in Old City District 1, the residents of Districts 2 and 4 quickly adapted to the new gangs and bosses.
Not only were children no longer working in dangerous conditions, but illegal and unlicensed alcohol and cigarettes were also eliminated.
Far from being gangsters, the mechanical cranes were much loved by the locals.
Although there were some residents who hated Eunhaon, there was no denying that she made their lives much easier compared to the previous boss.
It was a change that most of them desperately needed.
Meanwhile, the changes weren’t limited to the old town.
Haon had become accustomed to meeting Hunters since the Hero Headquarters was established in District 2, but he had a hard time adjusting to Juyeol’s sudden change in attitude.
“Oh, Joo-yeol. This is so embarrassing… … !”
Haon covered his flushed face with both hands.
