Chapter 176: Black Moon (1) (1/2)
Black Moon.
They were a huge guild that ruled the underworld of the royal capital.
They did petty crimes like pickpocketing and up to serious ones such as prostitution, drugs, and murder.
They were hyenas who did all kinds of dirty work in the royal capital as long as they were paid money.
Therefore, the Lord Protector looked into the Black Moon and made them his hounds.
Hound.
Hunting dog.
Beings who were only allowed to exist because of their ability to catch prey.
“She must be stopped.”
Karma Bonn, the guild master of the Black Moon, said once again.
The pink card he was holding seemed to be out of place in his rough and shapely hands that were from his street fighting days.
Bad kid, isn’t it time for punishment?
I’ll visit you at 9 pm tomorrow, so be prepared for a scolding.
I’ll pick up the stuff you’ve hidden in the big safe, okay?
-Rogue Master Pink Bomb
The message was written in rounded and cute handwriting, and an elegantly-written signature was underneath the message.
It was like a child’s prank, but he couldn’t ignore it.
There had already been two cases.
Five men and women stood in front of Karma Bonn, who was twice as big as them.
They were the pride of the Black Moon and the ‘Five Fingers’ who dominated the underworld of the royal capital.
The fields they specialized in and the weapons they used were different, but their skills were definitely the best among the Black Moon.
The main room was guarded by the Five Fingers and Karma Bonn, the guild master himself.
In it was a huge vault that contained all the important documents of the Black Moon.
“Is it okay if we don’t stay outside?”
When asked by Philia, the blind swordsman and one of the Five Fingers, Karma Bonn turned to her.
She was a blonde beauty whose eyes were covered with a red cloth.
She was unable to see since she was born blind, but she could ‘see’ through her sense of hearing and touch that was much more than those whose eyes were fine.
Her hearing and touch had developed far beyond a normal person.
She was the index finger, the second of the Five Fingers, but she was the first in the Black Moon in terms of combat.
In other words, she was in a position that could ask any question to their guild master.
“I’ll leave it to the men outside and the royal capital’s guards. Anyway, Pink- no, the Rogue Master’s goal is the treasure in this vault, so she’ll have no choice but to show up here eventually.”
So it was the perfect way to protect the vault while not needing to distribute their forces.
They were fully prepared to stop whoever would come.
“If that is what master wants, I will obey.”
Philia responded with an elegant voice, and Karma Bonn looked at the other members of the Five Fingers.
“What about you guys?”
“I understand.”
“I will obey master’s will.”
“Yes.”
“I’ll crush her.”
Satisfied with the answers of the other Five Fingers, Karma Bonn laid his eyes on Pon, the last man who spoke and a giant young man who reminded Karma of his younger self.
A born fighter who was into wild and raw fighting.
He looked like he was 30, but he was actually only 20 years old and the weakest among the people in the room, but the situation would change in the next 10- no, in just 5 years.
‘He’d probably be the strongest by that time.’
In chess, he was like a pawn, the weakest piece, but would eventually become a queen, the strongest piece.
‘Yes, this is just a passing event.’
A minor troubling incident before the big event in half a month.
‘But I can’t let my guard down.’
In back alley fights, a moment of carelessness could immediately lead to your death.
In any case, losing to the Rogue Master might endanger his status as the Lord Protector’s hunting dog.
‘No, before that, my position of dominating the royal capital’s underworld… might be compromised.’
The underworld was a place with a lot of strong people who were waiting for him to show a gap.
‘Rogue Master.’
A daredevil whose shamelessness was unrivaled for using a truly unscrupulous name.
But her skills were real, and Karma also admitted that.
So he was even more determined.
‘Come.’
I’ll stop whatever you have prepared.
No, I’ll capture you, take away your entire freedom, and make you an ace prostitute.
Karma had a somewhat fishy smile like those gangsters in back alleys before he suddenly raised his head. Because he heard a loud noise from outside the building despite the fact that the room where the vault was in didn’t have a single window.
“Rogue Master.”
As he thought of his plans again, he clenched his fist with the notice card. On the other hand, the Five Fingers maintained their positions and remained vigilant.
And at the same time.
There was a woman running wildly and flashily as she jumped on the roofs of the red light district where all kinds of shady shops in the royal capital had gathered.
“Lulupi! Lulupang! Lulu~ yap!”
She threw pink dynamite in all directions, shouting a spell that made her cringe before she jumped high on the roof again.
“It’s Pink Bomb!”
“Catch her! Get her!”
“Encircle her!”
It wasn’t just the members of the Black Moon. The royal capital’s guards, whose pride had already been sullied twice by Pink Bomb, also joined in the chase as they formed a circular formation.
“Ha! Is that all you can do? To catch this Pink Bomb!”
The rabbit-eared woman, Rogue Master Pink Bomb, sneered as she ran on the roofs while her rabbit tail wiggled.
“Continue to corner her! It will be our win if we corner her!”
“Uooooo!”
Almost a hundred people ran and shouted together, and their spirited shout was quite loud.
And that was why Jude smiled.
‘Bingo.’
The woman running on the roof laughed.
But she was different from before.
She was a bit taller, her waist was slightly bigger, and her beauty couldn’t be compared to the original one.
The Pink Bomb in front of them was a fake.
[Hey, hey. What was that? Those words. You should say it in a cuter, prettier, and more adorable manner, okay? Like how Cordelia did!]
At Jude’s request, the fake Pink Bomb, Scarlet, sprinted on the roof and burst with anger.
[The heck is that nonsense! I already feel like I’m about to die from embarrassment, okay!]
[What? Didn’t your voice sounded a little joyful earlier? Weren’t you enjoying this?]
[I don’t enjoy this! You crazy b*stard!]
[You’re not being honest.]
[Ugh, you’re so annoying!]
Scarlet disliked it, but Jude’s words was true to some extent.
Because her voice had indeed sounded happy despite saying that she didn’t want to do it and that she’d die from embarrassment.
‘It’s her first time wearing that.’
Wouldn’t she feel good wearing something different?
It was the reason why people wear animal ears headbands when they went to amusement parks.
[Okay, okay. I completely understand you. I understand.]
