Regressor’s Life After Retirement - Chapter 25

—————————————

[An Offer You Can’t Refuse]

I’m back in my seat sat down I crossed my legs on the table, crossed my arms, and looked crookedly at the security guards.

“What are you doing? “I told you to call the representative.”

“What is this?”

The security guards belatedly pulled out their guns and aimed them at me, but all I could do was sigh.

“Don’t do anything useless and call the representative. Take a look. Is this the size you can handle?”

“……”

Two people were lying on the floor.

The person covered in blood was one of the Black Hound team leaders.

And one is the guild leader’s cousin.

Even if Black Hound had intended to provoke me from the beginning, he would not have expected this situation.

“So, call the representative.”

As I repeated my words, one of the security guards spoke into his ear microphone and contacted me somewhere.

Meanwhile, I waved at the camera on the ceiling.

Hey Taejin Kim. Is this what you want?

“I’m the team leader!”

Baek Young-hee, who was sitting close to me, whispered to me.

“No matter how angry I am, what can I do if I put a person in that situation?”

I chuckled.

“I saw you earlier and you had a very cool expression on your face.”

Baek Young-hee made a stinging expression.

“Of course, I was very relieved on the inside, but… if I do this, it will lead to a dispute between the guilds.”

I nodded and sighed.

“I’m still regretting it.”

When I think about it, there is a high probability that saying that the cake was past its expiration date was a deliberate provocation to make me angry.

It’s even more so when I see that little boy who ate three cakes – one for me, one for Baek Young-hee – and still looks fine.

“hey. kid.”

I pointed to Lily, who was the only one in the room who couldn’t understand the situation, to the seat next to me.

“Come here and sit quietly.”

Lily, who was sitting next to me, asked with wide eyes.

“Why did you fight?”

It was troublesome to explain them one by one.

“There is such a thing. You and from now on, don’t just accept whatever anyone gives you. “There are not only good and handsome men like me in the world.”

“…….”

Perhaps because of the somewhat serious atmosphere, the little boy just blinked his big eyes instead of confronting him like usual.

Why does this not suit me?

I said, brushing away the kid’s red hair.

“Instead, I’ll tell Sirutdeok to pack a lunch box. Understand?”

“…huh.”

“good. That’s it then. And Wang Guho.”

Wang Guho, who caught my gaze, was surprised and responded.

“Four four!”

Wang Guhao did not know what to do about this situation that suddenly occurred.

It was clear that if I attacked like Jang Seok-hyeon, I would get hit, and it was also strange to stay still.

“You can meet with me later.”

“…….”

And then I stood up.

It’s been a while since we’ve been in touch, but there’s already a customer outside the door.

I could feel mana full of life from beyond the door.

Soon the door opened and a middle-aged, expressionless man walked inside.

Jump and jump.

As the man took a step closer, the life that filled the room became thicker.

It was amazing mana control. He took control of the room with his mana, making his presence enormous for an instant.

I got goosebumps on the backs of my hands.

“…….”

The man looked around the room and walked straight towards me.

Sussssut-.

The mana he was emitting began to weigh heavily on the room.

“Huh…”

“Huh…”

The security guards’ faces turned pale as if they were out of breath. This kind of momentum is difficult for ordinary people who cannot handle mana, as well as superhumans.

“…….”

Baek Young-hee’s face, who was standing next to me, also turned pale, and a look of displeasure appeared on the little boy’s face.

Hwiik.

I waved my arm and dispersed the mana that was pressing on the two people.

Then Baek Young-hee’s expression became much more relaxed.

At that moment, the face of the man approaching me was astounding.

“Hoo. “As I heard, you are a talented friend.”

Talent?

I didn’t have the talent to manipulate mana like breathing.

However, he only had acquired abilities acquired through practicing martial arts for more than 10 years.

Before I knew it, the man was standing in front of me. Kim Tae-jin, the representative of the Black Hound Guild, looked around and said.

“I heard the story when I came… but the scene was more horrendous than I heard.”

If you try to do everything you can with your form, you’ll be screwed.

I watched it all with a camera.

Taejin Kim sat across from me.

“I want to hear an explanation directly from the person involved as to what happened.”

The mana that was weighing down the room dissipated, but just having him sitting in front of him had a different feeling of weight than when Kim Hyun-tae was sitting in front of him.

Demon King Kim Tae-jin.

One of the first awakeners.

Like Whitehouse’s Baek Chang-su, he was also a chosen person.

Of course, the evaluation of the two people is very different.

gulp.

Baek Young-hee swallowed her saliva and opened her mouth.

“CEO Kim Tae-jin. I’ll explain everything…”

I cut her off.

“I did that. So, please send those two away first.”

“manager?!”

At my words, Baek Young-hee looked at me with wide eyes, and Kim Tae-jin looked at me with interest.

“What did you just say?”

“I want you to send two people away. “Don’t you have business with me anyway?”

I looked straight at Taejin Kim’s face.

The guild master’s face, which I had not dared to look at in the past, now somehow looked pitiful.

Maybe it’s because I know the dirty look hiding behind that dignified face.

A twisted smile appeared on Taejin Kim’s lips.

“…I will do that. “If you want to take full responsibility on your own.”

Gogooooooo.

A mana that was incomparable to before rose up from Taejin Kim’s body. That mana wrapped around my body like shackles.

“You two can go first. “The landlord alone will be responsible for all of this.”

“Sure.”

I nodded willingly and looked back at Lily.

“kid. “Go back to the guild with your sister here and wait.”

“…What about you, uncle?”

The little boy’s expression was quite serious.

Even if he couldn’t understand what was being said, he could at least sense that the atmosphere was not good.

Moreover, this guy would have instinctively known how strong Taejin Kim was.

That I can’t beat him.

“I’ll be gone in a bit. Oh, and don’t snack in the car.”

“…….”

The little boy lowered his head for a moment and said nothing.

And the moment he looked up again, his bright red eyes were shining sinisterly.

“…Shall we burn this place down?”

I was speechless for a moment at that sight.

There are times when I forget because I only see them eating, sleeping, and having a hard time every day.

This guy is a ‘disaster’ that turned Seoul into a sea of fire.

Depending on what I did, it could have been a more terrible disaster than the past.

So I pulled on both cheeks of the little boy.

“It’s black. Just play with fire without my permission. “I know I’ll never see chicken again in my life!”

“Ugh… that’s not possible…”

I left the little boy, who had finally returned to normal, to Baek Young-hee.

“Please take care of me for a moment. “I’ll be there to pick you up soon.”

“Team leader….”

“What kind of reunion of separated families? “Please go quickly.”

Baek Young-hee, with a stern expression, nodded. Then he put a piece of paper with something written on it in my hand.

Then he held Lily’s hand and turned around without hesitation.

“Lily, let’s go.”

I saw the two people get on the elevator.

The two will be able to return to the guild safely.

Even if it was a black hound, it wouldn’t be able to touch Baek Chang-soo’s daughter and get away safely.

I opened the paper Baek Young-hee handed me before leaving.

-I’ll rescue you right away!-

The scribbles on the paper looked so urgent that I ended up laughing.

“There is no need to worry.”

We moved to Taejin Kim’s office.

As I looked around the office, Taejin Kim said with a grin.

“There are no cameras or listening devices here. “There are a lot of secret things to talk about here.”

I knew that too.

No one in the world knows better than me why there should be no cameras or listening devices in this place.

I got straight to the point.

“What do you want from me?”

Ever since I heard that Black Hound had put a condition on me being present at the meeting, I thought there might be something up there.

That doubt has now turned into confidence.

Taejin Kim remained calm even though her nephew got hit by me and her face looked like bread that had passed its expiration date.

At first, he pretended to be angry, but after sending Baek Young-hee and Lily away, he actually looked calm.

Moreover, the reason he brought me here to his office was,

“Was it just an excuse for Wang Guho to bring me here from the beginning?”

A smile appeared on Taejin Kim’s lips.

“You’re a quick-witted friend.”

How could you not know?

They say Seodanggae can recite Pungwol in 3 years, and I worked at this damn guild for 3 years.

Taejin Kim gently leaned towards me.

“you. “Would you like to work for me?”

I frowned just as I had.

“Are you saying you want to scout me? “If you want to bring me back, the penalty will be quite high.”

The penalty for superhuman contracts is usually 10 times the contract amount.

In other words, my penalty is 100 billion won.

If the Blackhounds want to sign me, they have to pay Whitehouse that money.

Of course, if I say I don’t like it, that’s it.

“So I gave it some thought.”

A wicked smile appeared on Taejin Kim’s lips.

“I thought it would be a good idea if you worked for White House like you do now and provided me with information on a regular basis.”

Now I know what kind of trick you are trying to pull.

I smiled and looked at Taejin Kim.

“Are you asking me to be your spy?”

“It’s not a bad offer for you. “They will pay you well.”

Taejin Kim took out a contract and held it out in front of me.

“ruler. Please read and sign.”

It was as if of course I was going to sign this.

I crossed my arms and looked at Taejin Kim.

“What if I refuse?”

Taejin Kim chuckled.

At the same time, the mana gushing out from his body pressed down on my body.

“I will have to pay the price for putting my nephew and team leader Jang Seok-hyeon in that situation. Then, because of my mistake, I might lose the use of one of my arms.”

Skillful threats and cajoling were Kim Tae-jin’s specialties.

As expected, it was the rice and the vegetables.

Kim Hyun-tae was just a visible idiot, but the real evil was this person in front of me.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t give you much time.”

“…okay.”

I said, pretending to look at the documents Taejin Kim handed me.

“Anyway, is your younger brother okay?”

Taejin Kim tilted his head with a puzzled expression in response to my question.

“Why is the story about my younger brother suddenly coming out here?”

I shrugged my shoulders.

“I was just wondering if you were doing well.”

Taejin Kim chuckled. He seemed to understand what he meant.

“Are you trying to threaten me now? “What are you going to do to my brother?”

I shook my head as if wondering what that meant.

“no way. Is that possible? “How can I touch someone who is loved so much by his brother, and even by Je-su?”

“…what?”

Taejin Kim’s smile hardened.

It seemed like it took him a little while to fully understand what I was saying.

I was happy to help him understand.

“You don’t know your younger brother, right? “The relationship between my wife and my older brother is one in which they share a lot of love.”

“You you you… that that….”

His smile has now completely collapsed.

Taejin Kim looked at me with a mixture of astonishment, disbelief, and fear.

Now it was my turn to laugh evilly.

“How do you know that? “Does it matter now?”

Kim Tae-jin has been having an affair with his younger brother’s wife for over 10 years and is eventually discovered by his younger brother.

His younger brother kills his wife and hangs himself.

Due to that shock, Kim Tae-jin also retired from the industry not long after.

This is the story of the future as far as I know.

Honestly, I didn’t want to bring up this messy story.

However, if the opponent came out like that first, I had no choice but to use the weapons I had to deal with them.

I spoke in a different tone than before.

“What will happen if my younger brother finds out about this? With that personality, wouldn’t he probably rush to kill you and kill me?”

“You…”

Now the position has completely reversed. I leisurely leaned back on the sofa, crossed my legs and placed them on the table.

Taejin Kim was glaring at me as if he was going to kill me.

“I think you’re thinking about killing me right now to silence me. “Unless I’m an idiot, there’s no way I wouldn’t have prepared, right?”

“Tsk…!”

I gave Taejin Kim, who was gritting his teeth, the same smile I had just given him.

“Now I make a suggestion.”

“…….”

“Hand over Wangguho first. “For free.”

“…….”

“And there are a few things I need. “I’ll write it down here, so tell the secretary to bring it to you.”

I wrote down a detailed list on the back of the contract that Taejin Kim handed me.

After finishing writing the list, I handed it out to Taejin Kim and smiled.

Of course, the tone of speech also changed to polite again.

“If you take care of all this, I will keep my mouth shut. Representative Kim.”

“Ugh…”

That was an offer Kim Taejin couldn’t refuse.

I left Blackhound headquarters carrying five heavy shopping bags in each hand.

“Lulu~”

A hum came out naturally. Because shopping was very satisfying.

Baek Young-hee and Lily would have taken my car, so I planned to catch a taxi and return to the guild.

It was when I opened my phone and was about to call a taxi.

“You bastard-!!”

A loud voice shaking the building’s windows.

In front of me, something was running at incredible speed with a terrifying energy wave.

I put the shopping bag down on the floor and raised my entire body’s mana.

When I looked closely, I saw that it was a person.

The being wearing pure white armor all over his body and wielding a huge blue dragon sword is running towards me…

“Representative Baek?”

Baek Chang-soo passed by me in an instant and stopped in front of the main gate of Blackhound headquarters.

“Kim Taejin, you bastard! “We can’t appoint a landlord team leader right now!”

Baek Chang-soo stamped his foot loudly as if it wasn’t just a threat.

Kwaaang-!

The entire building shook as if an earthquake had occurred.

Of course, the faces of those who witnessed that terrifying power turned pale.

“Taejin Kim! If there is no answer by the count of ten, I will go inside! under…!”

Baek Chang-soo couldn’t even count to the end.

Because I talked to you from behind.

“CEO. “What are you doing here?”

My appearance seemed so natural that Baek Chang-soo explained the situation to me.

“Oh, are you? “They said they imprisoned Team Leader Lim… But why are you here?”

Baek Chang-su looked at me and the Blackhound headquarters building with a confused expression.

I sighed.

“Why did you come here?”

The middle-aged hunter scratched his head sheepishly as he slowly lowered the Blue Dragon Blade that he had raised high in the sky.

“Younghee sent you here?”

I took a taxi with our representative and returned to the guild.
