1.
A car that had been blocking the road fell into the ditch by the road with a crash of metal. Its nose crumpled loudly. If the owner had seen it, he would have been mortified.
”I can't believe that there are so many cars in the small country. Oh, God!” The person doing this was angry rather than reflective.
What was more surprising was that the cars he had not knocked down the side of the road were not one or two.
Hundreds of cars were being sent into the ditches, some cars slamming into one another quite loudly.
Bang Hyun-wook turned his head, looked at what he had done and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Jang Sung-hoon, who had just sent a car into the ditch, said to him, ”You're very strong.”
”It thanks to jewels of Strength and Energy. If I made my professional debut right now, I would hit a hundred home runs.”
”Yes, I really hope you make your professional debut. If the car owners here later see you in the black boxes and claim damages, you'll either file for bankruptcy or go to the Major League and hit the jackpot.”
”Please, I hope that a world like that will come back.”
”I agree.” Jang Sung-hoon once again looked at the crowd of cars on the road with his words. 'I've done all sorts of bad things to get one of these ... and now they are like garbage.', he mused to himself
Among them, there was one expensive enough to whistle at the moment Jang Sung-hoon saw it.
”Uh? Boss? Boss!” Jang Sung-hoon shouted at Kim Tae-hoon, who was marking a car to push off onto the side of the road ahead of them.
”Boss, that's a Cayenne! A Porsche Cayenne!”
He saw Kim Tae-hoon trying to mark an X-shape with a red oil pen on the back glass of Cayenne, an SUV made by Porsche.
”It's worth at least a hundred thousand dollars!”
For reference, the price of a new Porsche Cayenne was a hundred thousand dollars without any option. Adding options, it could be worth up to twice that.
At least it was a too much valuable car to put in the ditch, and at the same time, Porsche was a car-maker that could make the man's heartburn.
Of course, that was Jang Sung-hoon.
Kim Tae-hoon did not even look up at the cry, and immediately pushed the back of the car lightly. Confirming it was in neutral, he immediately looked at the back of the car.
He painted it in his mind. A picture of a huge intangible wall pushing the car away. A picture of a car moving slowly toward the ditch.
The image in his mind became a reality. The car moved on its own and started to go down the ditch.
The expensive car went down into the ditch and slammed into the back of another car already there.
Bang!
Watching the car like he was losing a lover, Jang Sung-hoon spat out a sigh. ”If I could just drive that thing once…”
”Tae-hoon brother is the one who beat an Orc with a Mercedes when he caught it, so it's nothing.”
”There's a difference between Mercedes and Porsche!”
”Different? Aren't their prices similar?”
”It's not the price, but the romance! The romance!”
Kim Tae-hoon shot a look at the two of them.
'Huck!'
'Oh, my God …'
Jang Sung-hoon and Bang Hyun-wook became dumb. The meaning was clear - Shut Up and Get Back To Work.
After seeing they had shut up, the gaze moved past them.
He saw the road they had come up was like a graveyard of cars, the dump truck that was slowly moving up the road, and the cars that followed it were like ducklings chasing the mother duck.
He could also see the soldiers filling the scene.
”Hey, watch out, watch out!”
”I'm sorry.”
”Move the dead body carefully, and even if you can't do a funeral, you have to use at least a little courtesy.”
”I understand.”
”It's a happy thing to deal with the dead, it's proof that you lived.”
Some of the soldiers were working on moving the dead bodies to the side of the road and covering their faces with jumpers.
”Monster stone collection is finished.”
”Ten quotas is finished. Can I have a cigarette?”
”Yes, I've filled ten. Let's smoke together.”
The other soldiers were working on finding the monster bodies and then grabbing the monster stones by cracking their chests open.
There was a puff of smoke between the jobs.
Kim Tae-hoon sighed briefly as he watched the scene.
”I'm glad there's less noise than I thought...”
