Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter] - Chapter 165

“Josenjing……? You’re Japanese? When I met you-”

“Leeha, I spoke Korean really well, didn’t I? Leeha, you didn’t know anything about me. You thought that only Tale and Kay will be sacrificed, and you never thought that you would be the scapegoat

. Ahahaha.”

“What? Kay……? Y-You must have brought the picture to me-”

“That’s why you are stupid, Hyein. How could you fall for a photoshopped screenshot? Did you even verify it with an NPC? Ah, or did you believe it because I was the one who gave it to you? Leeha.”

The corner of Sasuke’s lips twisted upwards. Hyein’s eyes widened and tightened rapidly. It was a fake photo! Kijeong wasn’t a traitor!

It was wrong to label Kijeong and Tale as traitors, give them a bad image to the guild members, and even make them take responsibility for the 2.6 billion won loss.

‘Besides all of the…… Hyein had done it himself. He did play right into Sasuke’s palm, and did all he could do to blame them! It was natural for Hyein’s face to turn red.

“You dare-”

“Tsk, tsk. Don’t get excited, Hyein. You don’t want to die, do you? To save your face, and hide the fact that you are rotten and embezzled the funds of the alliance, shut up and sign this.”

“I-I did not embezzle it, I just borrowed it for a while! I will definitely return it later! I would definitely-”

“It is up to interpretation. Why are josenjing so against it? Are you saying that you borrowed it after using it however you wanted? Who approved of it? Whose money is it? Leeha. You trusted me so much. That’s stupid.”

Hyein took Sasuke wherever he went. Sasuke knew about the minor things that Hyein had to deal with, as well as ‘everything’ he did secretly with the guild members.

“And do you want to say that I used it too? That’s right. I also took some of it and used it. But what if you die? Will you be able to fix the thing I would do before you could log in again? Hahaha. This is not a sport, Hyein. In sports, both offenders are sent off, however, it is not the case in reality. One has no choice but to believe what one heard first.”

The black shuriken in Sasuke’s hand touched Hyein’s neck.

It was cleverly hidden from Byeolcho Alliance using his back. Hyein felt how serious Sasuke was.

If he was careless, he would immediately get killed and all the blame and responsibility would be put on Hyein.

“You-”

“Sign it now. Don’t waste my time.”

Hyein looked at the contract and trembled in anger.

There was a brief description of transferring all rights of the Byeolcho Alliance’s donations to the Daijunana guild.

“Don’t think about wasting time. When the guild master dies, some of his authority will be transferred to the vice-guild master. I can kill you right now and sign the contract myself. With that said, there’s still work to be done to convince those two annoying bastards. Leeha, that would be good too. Because I could inflate your evil deeds and bury you forever.”

For the vice-guild master of the alliance to declare the end of the war, the consent of the other union guild masters was needed.

But what about Sasuke who knew all about Hyein’s mistakes and evil deeds? It would be enough to sacrifice Hyein and convince them.

If it’s named to Byeolcho, Hyein will try to swallow everything for himself, so let’s eat Dale Castle using the name of a different guild that we have prepared.

“This Daijunana……. it means ’17th’, meaning it wasn’t prepared in a day or two, right? From the very beginning… did you come to me while planning to betray me?”

What was Daijunana? Hyein turned around and tried to tell about Sasuke’s betrayal to the other two guild masters.

However, the whisper functionality has been blocked. A small scroll was torn in Sasuke’s hand.

“Leeha, with a jonsenjing’s small head……. don’t waste time and sign it. The moment you finish signing, I will personally cut Ram Hwayeon’s head. That’s all there is to it. You are responsible and……. Kay, as well as Ha Leeha, the three of you will take the blame.”

Small-range whisper blocking. Of course, he couldn’t take his chance. Hyein clenched his teeth.

What if he didn’t sign? He would die. While he was logged out of Middle Earth, Sasuke would tarnish his name and take care of everything. He would become a traitor, and Hyein’s wealth and fame would disappear. Maybe he would get chased by Dragon Knights and Seomgwang guild forever.

If he signed it? He would lose Dale Castle. The Dragon Knights and Seomgwang guild masters will curse at Hyein. However, he might be able to tell that Sasuke ‘deceived’ him.

Of course, he would still lose his wealth and fame. He could at least save his life, and play Middle Earth a little more.

In other words, no matter what he chose, Hyein would be ruined. The only difference was dying now, or dying later.

Sasuke and Hyein were talking in a small voice, however, someone was surprised to hear him.

“This…… This voice, I remember it! If you do well, we will-”

“Oh, dear. Did the princess notice now? Everything’s over anyway. Ram Hwayeon. If he signs, this guy will also cut your throat.”

Ram Hwayeon’s eyes also widened. The bat inside Byeolcho! The parasite in the lion’s stomach was the vice-guild master??!

‘So…… that’s why Jacheong couldn’t find out!’

They couldn’t have guessed that the quiet shadow of guild master Hyein was the traitor.

At the moment that Sasuke’s eyes were focused on Ram Hwayeon, Hyein opened his mouth in a hurry.

“Here-”

“Shadow control-jutsu.”

However, Hyein’s voice did not spread. He murmured for a moment, however, Sasuke grabbed his cheeks and shook his head.

“Didn’t I tell you to stay still?”

There was no sound, and no one saw.

All members of the Byeolcho Alliance were immersed in the festive atmosphere, and Hwahong and Hwangryong were filled with despair and could not concentrate on what was happening around them.

Except for one person.

“Sasuke-hyung? What are you doing?” Kijeong walked towards Sasuke, Hyein, Ram Hwayeon, and Igor.

“……Get out of here, Kay. The master and I are discussing your disposal after this war. This is not something you would want to hear.”

Sasuke stood in front of Hyein, but Kijeong did not miss anything. Hyein’s face can be clearly seen even though his voice could not be heard.

He could clearly see his hastily distorted expression. Kijeong, one of the oldest members of Byeolcho, couldn’t miss that subtle nuance.

“No…… wait. I don’t think it’s that kind of atmosphere.”

“I told you not to interfere, Kay.”

“Y-You! You were with Ha Leeha-nim, right! You’ve been framed too! At this rate, you and Ha Leeha-nim-”

“Shadow control-jutsu!”

Sasuke hastily activated his skill.

Ram Hwayeon would have intervened. Kijeong’s expression changed as he couldn’t hear anything because Ram Hwayeon’s mouth closed.

“Sasuke-hyung……? What are you doing?”

“No, nothing. This bitch must have wanted us to fight among ourselves.”

“That…… I don’t think so.” Kijeong slowly raised his sword and shield. He didn’t know what else to say. He didn’t understand the situation either. Something came to mind, however, he wasn’t sure.

But looking at Hyein’s urgent expression and Ram Hwayeon’s words, Kijeong moved his body.

Ha Leeha-ssi.

Although she said that in a panic, Kijeong got the feeling that she was thinking about him and Leeha.

Although she was an enemy, she was more trustworthy than Sasuke’s crafty tone.

“Ahahaha, damn it. Hey, Kay. Don’t even think of coming back to the table when you have been discarded If you keep quiet and tell them what I tell you to tell them, I will take care of you.”

“Come again?”

“It’s a matter for adults. You can just pretend that you don’t know anything, and get some benefits. Jonsenjings are good at things like that, right?”

Sasuke’s words and actions were relaxed.

He was confident that his plans had succeeded at this moment.

As long as Agromni Igor stood behind him.

“Now, sign this, Hyein. It’s time for you-”

“Shield charging!”

“Cough, Shunpo!”

Sasuke was blown away by the skill that Kijeong suddenly used.

Their position changed in an instant. Kijeong stood in front of Hyein and Ram Hwayeon to protect them.

“Kay.”

“I understand…… I loosely looked at the [contract]…… I understand it roughly. Sasuke-hyung, no, Sasuke, you were the culprit. You are the reason I was accused of having connections with Hwahong through Leeha-hyung, right?”

“Tsk, what are you going to do about it? You have no evidence. Would the guild members even believe you?”

It was then that the noisy Byeolcho Alliance became quiet for a moment.

However, the majority of the guild members did not know what happened. Rather, Byeolcho blamed Kijeong.

“What are we going to do with that traitor?”

“The guild war is over. The guild master-nim and Sasuke-nim will take care of it.”

Sasuke shrugged as he heard those words. Kijeong was a little confused for a moment, as Sasuke continued.

“And Hyein is trash. You don’t know it yet. Did you know that this bastard was preparing to blame you if we lost this war? But isn’t it funny that you are protecting a guy like that?”

It was true. It was true that Sasuke planned it, but it was not like Hyein was not responsible for anything.

It was Sasuke who claimed that Kijeong joined hands with Hwahong through Leeha, however, even if they didn’t really join forces, Hyein took advantage of it and tried to lighten the responsibility of the guild master.

In any case, from Kijeong’s position, Hyein also tried to use him.

“It’s funny……. Sasuke, you too, Hyein-hyung,! You only think about yourselves. I didn’t come forward to protect Hyein-hyung”

“What?”

Kijeong turned around and looked at Hyein. He was a close older brother and they have been together since the early days of Middle Earth, and someone who tried to hold him responsible.

Kijeong looked at Hyein and then turned to Sasuke again.

“What I want to protect is our guild. It’s Byeolcho.”

“Leeha, the people that call you a traitor? You’re not going to kill me, and tell them about this, right? There’s no way these people would believe what you say without evidence.”

Sasuke laughed hysterically. However, the light in Kijeong’s eyes did not diminish at all.

“I don’t know how difficult it would be! After

I stop you! Someday…… they will find out eventually!”

Kijeong took a long deep breath. His confusion did not go away easily.

It was to the point that he did not even know what exactly he was saying.

“I can’t let you take the money the members invested using their efforts time and real-life just to fulfill your own self-interest. Because…… Because it is the hope of the Byeolcho guild members!”

However, whether he knew the situation properly or not, his fighting spirit flowed as he raised his sword and shield.

It was the will of a templar.

“I will never let you take it away. I will stop it.”

“Phew……. That’s why kids.”

Sasuke shook his head. It would have been more convenient to settle things with words.

The longer it took, and the more they made a fuss, the more Byeolcho Alliance members would pay attention to them.

“Well, there are other methods but…… it would get annoying. Sayonara, Kay.”

Kijeong was branded as a traitor already. Sasuke could quickly deal with Kijeong and Hyein and turn the situation around. Sasuke turned his head and looked at Igor.

“Kuhahaha, do you want me to deal with it?”

“Quietly. And quickly.”

“Leeha, good, good! I think I remember you! Aren’t you the one

who was guarding the bastard back then?”

Igor clicked his tongue. His appearance when he chewed the blood golem and licked his lips and cheeks made it difficult to think of him as someone who possessed intelligence.

“Huu, huu, huuu.”

After getting mercilessly beheaded by Igor, Kijeong’s spirit grew a lot.

He also learned a linked skill that could be used to deal with giants. Kijeong promised to himself that he would let the crazy berserker bastard once he met him again.

‘Move, please legs move!’

However, he had difficulty facing the immense killing intent focused on him. It felt like his limbs were bound with just Igor’s spirit without using any skill.

“Are you ready, kid?”
