Chapter 7 - Beginning of the War (2) (1/2)
Kang-jun continued to explore the streets, looking for people with darkness drifting from them.
After some time.
Kang-jun found a group of men standing in front of a large building. They gave off a rough impression and Kang-jun instantly guessed what they were.
‘Gangsters!’
In particular, the man in his early 30s and wearing a red suit had eyes as sharp as a knife.
‘Expert!’
He knew not to mess with him. Kang-jun could instinctively feel the strong skills of the man in the red suit.
‘Hrmm.’
But he had nothing to fear from gangsters.
Black magic was invincible. If black magic absorbed energy then they would be too weak to stand. Kang-jun stared at the man and immediately used black magic.
But the man was strangely fine.
At the same time, some messages appeared.
[The target has resisted.]
[Black magic energy has failed to be collected.]
Unbelievable! Resistance!
[People with excellent mental and physical skills will be able to resist.]
[Then you can open the battle field and compete in a fight against the target.]
[Large amounts of black magic energy can be absorbed if you win. However, you will be deprived of a large amount of black magic energy if you lose.]
[Would you like to open the battle field? Yes/No]
[Opening the battle field will consume 1 black magic energy.]
‘Battle field?’
Victory meant collecting a lot of black magic energy while defeating meant losing a large amount! If so, he had to be really careful.
‘No! He is an opponent that I can’t beat right now.’
Fighting a losing battle was madness!
Kang-jun decided not to open the battle field.
At that moment.
He felt something strange? The red suited man was staring at Kang-jun.
‘Yikes!’
Kang-jun turned quickly like nothing had happened but the other man walked towards him.
“You over there. Look at me for a moment.”
Kang-jun stopped and turned his head.
“Me?”
“Yes.”
The man looked Kang-jun up and down before saying.
“Check his body to see if there is a weapon.”
“Yes, Hyung-nim.”
Some men ran up and examined Kang-jun’s clothes. They even made sure to remove his shoes.
“There is nothing, Hyung-nim.”
Then the man in the red suit frowned. He seemed uncertain about something before asking Kang-jun again.
“What did you want?”
“Huh?”
“Why were you staring at me?”
“I was looking, not staring.”
“So why were you looking?”
The eyes of the man were cold as Kang-jun replied without any embarra.s.sment.
“I was just wondering if you were a celebrity.”
“Celebrity?”
“Your clothes are flashy and you have a handsome face. I apologize if I offended you.”
The man’s expression show that he thought it was absurd.
“Is that really the reason?”
“Yes.”
“You are a lucky b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Release him.”
