Chapter 46
Episode 46
“…What?”
“done. What would be the point of telling the tail what you want to say to the head? Just contact Jin Wei. “If you want to work with me, come see me in person.”
“You crazy guy… How dare you mention someone’s name? “Just because the mountain lord is keeping an eye on you doesn’t mean he thinks you’ve already joined hands with us, right?”
Chen Xun, who twisted Shin Tae-hwa’s neck, took off the gloves he was wearing and spoke to Namgung as if he were dumbfounded.
“….”
At that moment, his hand, which took off the glove, was invisible, as if it had turned transparent.
‘Assimilation.’
Namgung stared at his hands, which were not visible outside his sleeves.
That was one of Chen Xun’s qualities.
‘A different ability than hiding. It does not simply hide the appearance itself, but rather blends into the background itself.’
Stealth, which is almost a trick of the eye, simply makes one invisible, but does not make the user’s presence disappear.
However, a fairy tale completely blends into the surrounding landscape and its very existence disappears.
In other words, there really is nothing where Chen Xun’s invisible hand is. Even if Namgoong tried to grab his hand, he could only grab it in the air.
On the other hand, Chen Xun, the owner of the hand, could make the hand appear again whenever he wanted.
Sssssssssssssssssssun
’s invisible hand slowly appeared, as if he had been waiting.
“why? “Are you surprised?”
He raised his hand and asked Namgung.
“Not really.”
At first glance, it looks like he is anxious to show off his abilities.
‘Well, it’s nothing new. ‘Because most of the people who awakened their talents after the gates of hell opened are like that.’
However, the newly acquired power also meant that it was an unfamiliar power.
Even when doing the same thing, an attempt is made to use the newly acquired strength rather than using the method in which one is good at it.
Some say it’s training for quality, but…
‘Using it like that in actual combat, not training, is just a show off.’
And that showoff is bound to create a gap in the end.
“The world has changed. While there are ordinary humans, there are also people like me who are given special powers. An equal world? There is no such thing anymore. “It will be completely divided.”
Chen Xun spoke to Nangong.
“Those who are capable will rule, and those who are not will be slaves. We are giving you a chance. So don’t think about making trivial remarks.”
Slurp…
Chen Xun’s figure disappeared.
“I’ll rip off your head….”
Poop!
It was then.
When Namgung raised his arm and struck backwards, a dull sound was heard and a heavy feeling was felt in the fist.
Fighting…! Tuk…!
Suddenly, a few drops of blood splashed out in the empty air and fell to the floor.
“How…!”
Chen Xun appeared again, standing with a puzzled expression, covering the nosebleeds flowing from his crooked nose as if he had broken it with his hand.
“There is no way I would be attacked!! My body can perfectly blend into its surroundings!! “It means that existence itself disappears!”
“You talk a lot. A guy who doesn’t even know his own abilities can show off his tricks in real combat. “I think you’re the one making a fuss.”
Chen Xun looked at him while holding his broken nose.
“Don’t disappear and appear frantically, just shut up and sit down. “Because your jokes are boring.”
“…How on earth did you do this?”
“I didn’t hit him with a fist. It was hit by wind pressure. “Just because you can’t hit it with an object doesn’t mean it’s all-powerful.”
Chen Xun looked at him with an expression of bewilderment at his answer.
‘Fu wind pressure? ‘Is that possible for humans?’
But it was ridiculous for someone with the ability to hide themselves to think like that.
“….”
Chen Xun quietly sat down, covering his nosebleed.
“I guess it’s worth having a chat now. I can almost understand why Jinwei chose me. “So you saw me fighting in Yeouido?”
“…Yes.”
“And now I plan to entrust to myself the work that I was planning to entrust to Cheonilhoe.”
“The Cheonilhoe guys were a bit of a mess from the beginning. I was watching to see what the fallen guys were up to. “It’s funny how they try to trick us by recruiting you.”
“But what are you trusting me to entrust you with? “I’m not even the type of person who used to work here.”
“It is power. “Do you need any other reason than that?”
Chen Xun actually looked puzzled at his question and asked back.
“The world has changed now. Sanju said. “There will come a world where strength is everything.”
“There’s nothing these gangsters can’t say. Your public security authority must be on a different level from ours. “It’s a bit quiet now, but if they are serious, can you handle it?”
“Public security? Now that too is a thing of the past. You are saying this because you don’t know our Sanju. Gun or knife? Tell them to bring everything, whether it’s a tank or a rocket. “You can’t stop him.”
He said with a confident expression.
‘Well, from potions that increase abilities to various buffs and treatments. ‘There is nothing that cannot be made with alchemy.’
Physical ability was of course possible through training and combat, but in reality, it had to be increased through runes.
The problem is that getting those runes is not easy at all.
Jin Wei was able to solve that problem with alchemy.
‘If this guy has covered his body with alchemy, he may be stronger than Alec at this point.’
How would you compare yourself?
Jin Wei will have the upper hand in terms of experience, but Jin Wei will be overwhelming in terms of physical ability.
‘Unless you collect more runes…’
If you fight, whistle.
‘No, it might be a little disadvantageous.’
He was definitely a more troublesome opponent than Alec. Therefore, Chen Xun’s confidence was not a lie.
“So be careful. I admit that you have skills, but keep in mind that our Lord is above those who fly and crawl. And soon he will reign over all nations.”
“These days, the enforcers of the Triad are not based on their own skills, but on their ability to suck up the boss, don’t you think?”
“You bastard… what happened?”
Nangong’s words were annoying, but Chen Xun was fully aware of the gap between herself and him after being punched by him a little while ago.
“….”
Rather, it was possible because of his skills.
His whole body was warning him that if his fist had moved in response to his words a moment ago, Namgung would have mercilessly cut him with his sword.
“What are your plans?”
“Originally, we were going to entrust this to Cheonilhoe… but if you handle this well, you may be able to join us on better terms.”
Chen Xun let out a low breath and said.
“Because the middle bridge disappears.”
“Hmm.”
“Of course there will be surveillance. “The people I brought with me will help you and see if you are having any unnecessary thoughts.”
“You can’t stop me, so you can’t stop me with just your subordinates? What if I wipe out those guys and do the same thing as Cheonilhoe?”
“You’re kind too. I can’t believe you even gave me such unnecessary worries. Don’t worry, you will know as soon as you touch my men. There’s no need to know how. okay?”
Chen Xun gave Nangong a note with the address written on it along with the small ampoule that was in front of him a little while ago.
“Technicians will already be preparing for work. All you have to do is take this to them. Then they will mass-produce samples.”
“It’s easy.”
“The remnants of the Thousand Days Association know its location. Just in case, it would be a good idea to take care of them. If you show me that you are not just a scarecrow, Sanju will be happy.”
“When will Jinwei come back?”
“A week later. And you really better be careful what you say. “You’re calling Sanju’s name in vain.”
Seeing Nangung’s attitude of not having any effect even after warning him, Chen Xun looked full of things to say, but kept his mouth shut.
“Hmm…”
Namgung nodded as he put the ampoule in his arms.
“i get it.”
“What about that woman? “Should we bury him together when we bury him?”
“it’s okay. He is an agent of the National Intelligence Service. “If you try too hard, the government will target you.”
“…Why did you bring such a troublesome lump?”
“It’s because Cheonilhoe is doing things dirty. Maybe it would have been better if we had contacted you quietly…”
“Ah. Anyway, they are not helpful. “If it weren’t for their friendship with the previous Sanju, they would have already been abandoned.”
Chen Xun nodded as if he understood what Nangong said.
“I will take care of that woman. “If you make an excuse for Cheonilhoe, it will be okay.”
“Ryojin.”
At that moment, another figure appeared behind Chen Xun. When Nangong raised his head and looked, the woman who was standing behind Chen Xun with her face covered greeted him lightly.
“The rest of the kids will go straight to the place with the address written down. “You go with Ryo Jin.”
“You don’t trust me.”
“Because trust hasn’t been built yet. Insurance is a given, right?”
Namgung noticed that Chen Xun had attached a subordinate to him to make sure that Park Hyo-joo was handled properly.
“It doesn’t matter.”
He picked up the fainted Park Hyo-joo, carried her on his back, took out her car keys from her pocket, and threw them to Ryeo-jin.
“You do the driving instead. “Because I am not your subordinate.”
“….”
There was confusion in Ryeojin’s eyes under the mask. Chen Xun roughly waved his hand at her, as if telling her to take care of it.
‘It’s been a week…’
Namgung thought as he left the door of the guest room.
‘You can’t wait until then? ‘I’ll make sure he comes to see me tomorrow.’
Fortunately, he was standing in front of the door with his back to them, so no one saw the corner of his mouth turning up.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Of the silence where only the sound of the exhaust could be heard, the car was running as fast as it was gliding in silence.
After leaving the coastal passenger terminal, they headed to Yeongjong Island.
As they crossed Incheon Bridge, only the pitch-black sea was visible on both sides.
There was no one on the road, and the sea weighed them down with a gloomy anxiety, like a deep-sea beast threatening to swallow them up at any moment.
‘Ryojin… I don’t really remember it, but it’s not an unfamiliar name either. I’m sure it’s a name I’ve heard before.’
Namgoong thought as he looked at her back seat, holding the steering wheel.
‘I’ve never been involved with triads in my past life. ‘The reason I got to know Jinwei was after Incheon was destroyed by the new drug they created.’
A church established in Incheon, which was in ruins as the number of drug addicts exploded like an epidemic.
With the advent of Jinhwa Bridge, Nangong met Jinwei for the first time.
‘Anyone under Chen Xun can’t really be said to be Jin Wei’s hand and family, so he wouldn’t be a major figure in the Triad… Where did you see that?’
“hey. I thought it would be good to get to know each other a little more now that we’re working together. What weapons do you use?”
“….”
But she gave no answer.
“Because I’m not your subordinate either. “It’s Hong Geun’s order, so I’ll drive, but I don’t think there’s any need to answer questions.”
“Is it because of what happened a little while ago? “I’m narrow-minded.”
She flinched –
her expression was not visible, but Namgung chuckled when he saw her shoulders shaking slightly while holding the steering wheel.
“He follows Chen Xun’s orders and ignores my questions… I guess he doesn’t remember getting hit by me.”
“so? Even if you are stronger than Hong Geun, you are not as strong as Sanju. “I am ultimately the one who serves Sanju.”
“Your loyalty is amazing.”
Namgoong leaned down on the sofa and lowered his body as if preparing for shock.
“But let’s see if your skills are that great.”
“…what?”
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
It was then.
The sea on both sides of the bridge suddenly began to surge as if an explosion had occurred.
bang! bang! Quagga Gaga River-!!!
Wow…!!
Something began to fall from the spray that rose from the sea, well over the height of the bridge.
“Ugh?!”
At first, I thought it was just pouring water, but the heavy impact hitting the bonnet made Ryeojin, who was holding the steering wheel, hurriedly stop the car.
“This…”
Boom! thud! Kugugoogung!!
One, two… twenty hundred…
The sight of Lizardmen breaking through the deep sea and jumping onto the bridge began to fill the bridge in an instant.
[Kyaak…!Kyaak…!!]
Looking at the Lizardman outside the window growling at him with sharp teeth, Ryeojin instinctively swallowed dry saliva.
“What are you doing?”
Despite the scene that was like a sheet of thin ice, Namgung opened the car door without any problem
.
“Now wait!”
Ryeo-jin, who was in the driver’s seat, shouted urgently at the sight, but Namgung, who got out of the car, looked at them and whetted his appetite.
The beginning of the second monster wave.
