Chapter 272: Jack the Ripper 1 (1/2)
“Huh? Is it a power outage?”
“What's going on?”
They just thought it was a power outage and didn’t think much about it. But Ju-Heon’s group was different.
‘This isn't a regular power outage.’
Ju-Heon scrunched his eyes.
The Monarch of Seduction was smiling in the darkness.
A power outage was a sign that Jack the Ripper was starting the hunt.
‘Alright Jack the Ripper, kill everyone.’
Elena, the Monarch of Seduction, had been aiming for this from the beginning. It had been her plan from the moment she met Julian's sister, Nina.
‘I'll take Seo Ju-Heon to be mine while Nina will take care of the Monarch of St… No, the Monarch of Pillage.’
She was also a wild beast aiming for a Heirloom to become a Monarch. She had tried everything to take down Ju-Heon's group members who had Heirlooms, but…
Seo Ju-Heon was one thing but somehow his team members were all weird as well.
The CIA, MI6, and other spy organizations had tried their best but they couldn't find any weaknesses for Ju-Heon or his team members.
They were able to at least get some information before Ilya joined up with them, however, that was no longer the case.
‘Even the spies can't do anything once that Ilya bastard joined their team.’
They were all anxious as well.
Information regarding the tomb raiding team had suddenly disappeared from public records and the media.
The easiest to handle had been that stupid Monarch of Pushoverness, but bad things kept happening whenever they tried to mess with Ju-Heon or the Monarch of Pushoverness.
Their stocks would fall, their businesses would suddenly be in trouble, it was quite weird.
That was why Ju-Heon and Julian’s weaknesses that they found out this time were extremely precious.
‘Seduce Seo Ju-Heon with artifacts.’
There had been rumors about Seo Ju-Heon being an artifactphile for a while.
It seemed to have become a bit special after he got his Heirloom.
‘Take Seo Ju-Heon to the hotel.’
She was confident that she could send Ju-Heon to paradise if they spent a night together. Her sponsors were proof she could do that.
But before that……
‘Alright, hurry up and kill him. Go, Jack the Ripper.’
Even the mighty Ju-Heon should temporarily blank out seeing his team member die.
It was at that moment.
“Nina, it’s okay. There’s no need to be scared. A fuse probably blew out or something.”
Julian tightly clenched Nina's hand in the darkness. Nina pulled a knife out of her pocket as if this was perfect.
‘I don't know who you are, but goodbye.’
But the moment she was about to swing the knife!
Paat!
The light suddenly came back on.
“?!”
Nina became flustered.
Nina looked around as she had messed with the breaker herself.
It was too soon for an employee to have made it to the box already. She had planned everything out knowing the location of the breaker box.
“What the? At least it's back.”
The other customers were relieved that it didn't seem to have been a serious issue. Of course, the Monarch of Seduction was glaring at Nina.
‘What are you doing?’
Nina, who was looking for an opportunity, closed her eyes and used her psychic artifact again. The lights went back out!
“Kyaaaa! What the hell?! Another blackout?”
Nina aimed for Julian’s neck this time.
However…
Paat! It turned back on again!
Nina became anxious and quickly hid the knife again.
‘What the hell is going on?!’
The answer to her question was at the breaker box.
[$#&#$!]
Hey, you can't do that! You c…… ugh!
That was right.
The rope was at the circuit breaker. The rope was raising the switch whenever it fell.
Click! Click!
It was able to easily push it using its long body!
That was why it didn't matter if Nina used a psychic artifact to control it.
Paat! Paat! Paat!
The lights would go out and then come right back on. Off and on.
The other artifacts that could sense that a person was going to die were scolding the rope.
[#$&!]
Hey, what the hell are you doing?! It looks like we could see a person die!
The rope wasn’t listening to them.
Pow! Pow! Pow!
In fact, it whipped the artifacts that were trying to scold it.
The shop felt as if it had turned into a rave.
”What the hell is going on?”
“Hey, what’s wrong with your lights?”
Nina started to grind her teeth in anger at this unexplainable situation.
‘Damn it, it looks like I might have to go over my limits and cut the power line itself……’
However…
“Nina, what's wrong? Are you sick?”
“……?!”
Her actions made Julian focus on her.
The Monarch of Seduction was feeling frustrated while looking at Nina.
‘What the hell is she doing?!’
The Monarch of Seduction couldn't hold back anymore and grabbed Ju-Heon's arm.
“Oh my, this place is a bit weird. Shall we go outside and talk?”
But at that moment…
Tap. Tap.
Someone tapped the Monarch of Seduction’s back. The moment she turned around to look……
Pow!
The Monarch of Seduction was slapped on the head!
The rope was standing there and moving as if it was a cobra.
It seemed to be glaring at her, asking what she was doing with Ju-Heon.
Ju-Heon’s eyes opened wide while the Monarch of Seduction was in disbelief.
”What the h…… kyaa!”
She was hit again.
Pow!
This time it was her cheek. The Monarch of Seduction foamed at the mouth after being struck by the rope.
“This crazy artifact!”
An angry Monarch of Seduction tried to grab the rope, but…
[#&$!]
Move your dirty hand. Move it. Move it!
Pow pow pow pow pow!
“Kyaaaa!”
She ended up being attacked by a flurry of punches.
It didn't seem to like the fact that the Monarch of Seduction was sticking so closely to Ju-Heon.
She had even turned the lights off.
Her plan was too obvious to this amazing rope.
Around the same time…
“There must be some issues with this store’s power line.”
Julian, who did not know that he was in danger of dying, tilted his head in confusion as Nina ground her teeth.
‘It'll be complicated if the lights aren’t out.’
But it might be okay.
‘Let’s go somewhere else.’
She would lure him to somewhere secluded.
Nina pulled Julian by the arm after having that thought.
