chapter 27
26. Destruction of Evidence
Kang Seong-ho, president of the Hunter Association, spoke to me.
“For now, we have contacted you. I don’t know how you will do it.”
“Thank you for that alone.”
When I bowed my head in greeting, Sungho Kang waved his hands.
“I’d rather thank you. Cool-!”
Kang Seong-ho spit out thin blood as if his body had not yet fully recovered.
“Uhhh… I’m sorry. Maggi has come out of my body, but I’m still not feeling well.”
Kang Eun-byul looked at Kang Seong-ho with worried eyes.
“Are you okay, Daddy?… I hope you fall down again…”
“It’s fine. If this is the case, rest for a day or two and you’ll be fine. Don’t worry too much.”
While the women were talking, I asked Kang Seong-ho.
“By the way, who the hell did you use the artifact that gave you? If someone gave you an artifact with this level of magic, it’s definitely not a normal person.”
Then, Kang Seong-ho spoke as if he was in trouble.
“That… To be honest, I don’t really remember right now. No matter how much I look back on my memories, I only remember that I collapsed using artifacts, but I can’t remember the rest. I guess. Artifacts were destroyed as soon as they were used.”
“Hmm… It’s a difficult situation.”
A similar magic exists for me. The magic that was promised to Yang Han-gil’s bud and sperm.
***
[SSS] Promise magic circle: You can record the vows of the caster and the other party by dividing them into [Conditions] and [Results]. Mutual consent is required, and the pledge made here cannot be canceled by any magic. When the [Condition] is satisfied, the [Result] is forcibly executed.
***
For example, if you use the [SSS] Promise magic circle,
[Condition]: When using artifacts
[Result]: The memory associated with the artifact is lost.
If they agreed to each other after using in this way, it is quite possible that the memory has disappeared.
Of course, I don’t know in detail why the President of the Hunter Association accepted such an asshole, but he said he couldn’t remember why he did such a stupid thing.
“You seem to be in trouble. But one thing is for sure, that person was trying to assassinate you.”
“Yes… I agree with what you said. So, when I am well, I will try to track down as much as possible who did it. If someone has a ill will towards me, it may harm my daughter or other acquaintances. If that happens… I don’t even want to think about it.”
Kang Seong-ho took a deep breath and continued the story.
“Actually, my daughter is more concerned about my daughter than anyone else. There have been many similar incidents, but so far, there have been no concerns about safety, no matter what happens. I thought it would be safe to stay in this building. Seeing it, I feel like that’s not the case.”
Kang Seong-ho said while pointing to the wall that I had smashed horribly.
“I’m sorry I broke the wall.”
“No… I didn’t mean to argue. However, if a strong person like a teacher appears as an enemy, my physical condition is like this. How the hell am I supposed to protect my daughter? Actually, in this state, it would be difficult for me to keep myself alive. .”
“I… I’m fine, Dad, don’t worry! I’m a B-class wizard too!”
“That’s why it’s a problem. There are so many people stronger than you in the world. This father was treated so absurdly, there’s no guarantee that something similar won’t happen to you.”
“…”
Kang Eun-byul, who had a gloomy expression next to her, looked at me and talked.
“That… Masked instructor, I saw a video before, and you said you were recruiting disciples, right?”
At that time, Kang Seong-ho became Hwasaek and talked.
“Oh, is that for real?”
“Yeah, well… it is.”
“Can you accept my daughter as a disciple?
Kang Eun-byeol quietly murmured next to him.
“Ba… if you accept it, I’ll work hard…”
I quietly looked at Kang Eun-byul.
‘The magic level is at a level that can be quickly developed at a level of B, and the father, the president of the Hunter Association, and the people around him seem to be quite useful…
After I finished thinking, I looked at Kang Seong-ho and talked.
“all right. I will tell you again when all the other disciples are recruited.”
“If yes, I would be very grateful. If you have any requirements, please let us know and we will deliver them through the secretary.”
“Um… Then, if you’re not excused, can you get me the S-Class Artifact, the Devil’s Mask? I’ll pay for this separately.”
“It’s a devil’s mask… It’s only an effect that changes your face into a different shape, and it’s not very useful because you can only use one face… If you tell me something else, I’ll give it to you without paying any money.”
“no. I’ve already received some good artifacts, but if you just accept them, you’re an asshole. As you can see, I wear a mask to promote, so I stand out so much in my daily life. I would appreciate it if you could save me because I needed it purely for that reason.
“Oh, okay, I see. We will contact you through Eunbyul when the artifacts are found. Then, please take good care of Eunbyul in the future.”
When Kang Seong-ho bowed his head to greet me, Kang Eun-byeol also bowed his head.
Finally, we exchanged phone numbers and greeted Kang Eun-byul.
“I’ll just go.”
Sungho Kang asked.
“Where are you going, dear?”
“I’m going to watch. President Baek Ju-suk’s downfall.”
“Hmm… I don’t think it’s a simple relationship. To hate someone as powerful as you, I feel pity for him too. May luck be with you.”
“thank you.”
– turbo
– turbo
I headed to the residence of President Baek Ju-suk.
***
We walked slowly and arrived at the residence of President Baek Ju-suk. There were already numerous swordsmen in robes with the words NPS on them.
‘Oh, it must have been moved by the NPS. I don’t know what’s going to happen, but it’s moving just fine.’
Then, someone took control of me.
“I’m sorry, but entry is prohibited here. Please go back to another place.”
“Oh, I see.”
I put on the mask from a little distance, took out an artifact and put it on.
***
[SS] Cloak of Perfect Stealth
▶ Perfectly hides the user’s presence through stealth. When stealth starts, mana is consumed periodically, and it is not detected by A-level or lower detection. Stealth is forcibly removed when attacked or attacked.
***
– Whoa
Stealth was activated, and it passed naturally next to the agent who was controlling it earlier.
‘Hmm…’
When I looked around the inside of the mansion, there were prosecutors everywhere, but whether the situation was over or not, there was no disturbance than I thought.
I could hear the conversation between them.
“Captain, I looked around here as well, but nothing came up.”
“Because I told you to search more thoroughly, check if there is any hidden space, and if you see any dust from the top, shake it off.”
“All right!”
– to and fro
Inside, only the prosecutors were busy moving.
‘It’s strange, why is there no one in the mansion?’
It is true that Baek Joo-suk and Baek Hyun-seo are living alone.
Baek Hyun-seo will be at the academy by now, so it’s normal for no one to be here.
‘If it were under normal circumstances.’
However, now Baek Ju-seok is under arrest.
The cunning man couldn’t have expected such a search and seizure.
Obviously, in this situation, I knew that a separate person would have been prepared to destroy evidence, but contrary to my expectations, strangely, no one exists.
‘Hmm…’
“The Sage’s Eye.”
[Unique Skill]
▶ The Sage’s Eye
▶You can learn more about objects, creatures, or the flow of mana. ※ Information on Legendary items cannot be checked.
As I cast the spell, it began to appear to be projected in all directions.
Then, a place stood out.
‘Wow, what a crazy bastard.’
A place where you can see the flow of mana only after using the sage’s eye. When you put your hand there, the artifact works, and you move to the underground space in an instant.
– Huong
Quiet enough to say that it was almost silent, he entered the tunnel in an instant.
I looked around and saw a large cave.
‘The sage’s eye. Print out information about the current space.’
– A space created by the power of artifacts and magical barriers. Sound and shocks heard from the inside are not leaked to the outside. ※Speciality: The magical barrier used by dozens of wizards and the physically dug space are combined.
‘Did you make something like this?’
At that moment, two men passed by me while I was hiding.
“Ah, the real President Baek Joo-seok, he’s also an asshole.”
“Are you insulting that bastard if you just open your mouth?”
“No, I don’t look like I’m swearing. You bastard, when we kept telling us to build an underground space until now, we didn’t even listen to it even if we died, but after the intranet incident last time, you were f*cking mad and told us to make it here. Make this quick. Do you know how many people were involved? I almost died at that time.”
“But thanks to you, you’re destroying evidence from below and using it usefully.”
“That’s right. By the way, is it okay to break this?”
The man held two familiar-looking objects in his hands.
An object I knew well, the artifact that President Baek wore every day, was the intranet master key of Helmund Academy.
