Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 74
Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 74
Episode 74
As you go deeper into the streets of Sinchon, a building resembling a Colosseum appears.
It was incomparably smaller than the real Colosseum, but at least it was almost similar in appearance. So people also called this place the Colosseum.
In fact, the existence of an arena within the Colosseum was similar.
“Wow!”
“Kill!”
Shouts erupted from inside the arena.
Hundreds of people were gathered in the arena to watch the fight.
“Fuck!”
“Ugh!”
Two people were fighting while everyone was watching.
Both of them were ordinary people who were far from enlightenment.
Nevertheless, they were swinging their weapons at each other in an evil spirit. They had already suffered quite a few injuries. However, they did not back down and tried to kill each other.
The audience in the arena was excited to see these two people.
A man was sitting in an independent seat at the top of the audience.
He was a black man wearing a worn-out baseball cap and sunglasses.
He had a massive build reminiscent of a log, with forearms as thick as a woman’s torso.
He was chewing gum with his feet up on the seat in front of him.
He was Goran, the ruler of Sinchon.
Goran’s father was a foreign student who came to Seoul to study a hundred years ago.
When I finished my studies, I tried to return to my hometown, Kenya, but then the world changed like this.
All means of transportation to return to their hometown, Kenya, have disappeared.
In the end, he had no choice but to settle down in Seoul and gave birth to his last child, Goran.
Nowadays, many races mix naturally, but at that time, Asians, including Koreans, were the majority.
Natural discrimination was bound to be severe.
Naturally, Goran’s father also endured discrimination and raised his son.
Goran, who grew up watching his father like that, naturally had a venomous spirit.
The poisonous boy grew up to become the ruler of Sinchon.
Goran shouted loudly.
“Hey, cheer up. It’s a family matter. Whoever loses loses his whole family. Hehehe!”
The two people who heard his voice flinched.
Both of them were caught because they owed money to Goran and could not pay it back.
The person who loses this fight will all die, including their family.
That’s why the two fight to the death.
Goran laughed as he watched the two people fight desperately.
“Hehe! Of course, the best thing to watch is watching the two idiots fight.”
The fight between the awakened and those skilled in combat is over in an instant and is not worth watching.
That was why Goran threw debtors into the dumping ground.
Because my family’s life is at stake, I fight to the death no matter what happens to my body. That makes people excited.
“Keuuk!”
The fight finally ended with the loser screaming.
The loser had a knife stuck in his chest, and the winner was lying down, breathing heavily.
“Huh! “Huh!”
The winner’s face was stained with tears and blood.
There was no sign of victory on his face.
The feeling of relief that he had survived and the guilt of the person he had killed were combined to make him miserable.
Goran stood up and asked the subordinate next to him.
“How many family members died?”
“There are two men and three women.”
“Kill all the boys and hand over the girls to the brothels.”
“yes!”
The subordinate stepped back with an answer.
It was then.
A man in a neat suit and with his hair in a ponytail approached Goran.
It was a man named Eaton, one of Goran’s henchmen.
He said, lowering his head.
“Leader!”
“what?”
“A guest has arrived.”
“who?”
“grow.”
At that time, a figure as large as Goran appeared from behind Eaton.
The moment he saw his face, Goran’s expression was crumpled like a piece of paper.
His skin is as rough as a crocodile, his face is full of tattoos, and his bright yellow eyes.
These were features that could never be forgotten once seen.
There was only one man in the slums with these characteristics.
“Crocker? “Didn’t we decide to never see each other again?”
“It did.”
“Then why did you crawl out?”
“Because things have changed.”
“If you don’t convince me, you will never be able to go back underground again.”
Goran stood up and approached Croker.
His physique rivaled that of Crocker and his immense intimidation naturally radiated.
The two glared at each other from a distance so close that they could feel the other’s breath.
Croker said, glaring at Goran.
“I need a horsepower generator.”
“I think you gave me information about the magic generator a few days ago?”
“It did!”
“however?”
“We failed to secure it.”
“failure? Fuck! They kindly told us the route, but they failed to steal it? “Are you saying that now?”
“….”
Crocker bit his lip instead of making an excuse.
There was no room for excuses.
Goran and Crocker had a kind of symbiotic relationship.
Croker supplies drugs to Goran, and Goran pays Croker with money or information.
The drugs Crocker handles are of very high quality and in high demand. So it makes money.
That was why Goran joined hands with Crocker.
Goran asked.
“What happened?”
“The owner of the magic generator tracked it down himself.”
“The owner, bastard?”
“It appears that the location of the robbery was near his house.”
“So you were senselessly taken away by the owner?”
“He is at least a C-level strongman.”
“under! Are you calling that an excuse? Even if it was B grade instead of C grade, it should have been dealt with. “What if our relationship is exposed like this?”
“That won’t happen.”
“Fuck! “You stupid bastard!”
“Be careful what you say.”
“careful? Is that what a failed bastard would say? “I took risks to steal information from the goblin market.”
“If you give me the information again, I will double the drug supply.”
“What if I can’t give it to you?”
“I will go to Dongdaemun.”
“under! “Now you’re going to weigh John and me?”
Goran glared at Croker with red, bloodshot eyes. But Croker’s yellow eyes did not waver at all.
There is no loyalty or affection to protect between them.
It ended up being a transaction.
If you have nothing to gain, just change your business partner.
“Kaaak! Tsk! This is why you can’t trust things underground. under! “Loyal bastards!”
“If you just get me a magic generator, our loyalty will remain strong.”
“Promises must be kept. “You crocodile!”
“Don’t worry.”
Goran looked at Eaton in response to Crocker’s confirmation.
“Do you have any horsepower generators left?”
“As far as I know, it’s not even in the goblin market.”
“Fuck! So you’re saying that that bastard’s item is unique? “That bastard is that strong?”
As far as he knows, Crocker is a C-class martial arts awakened person.
Although his level is low, he is a talented person who cannot be ignored.
They are especially accustomed to fighting underground, where there is not a single ray of sunlight.
As for the fight in the basement, even that was to the point where it was worthless.
Crocker was robbed by someone who tracked him underground.
It was proof that the tracker’s skills were that great.
“It’s definitely C grade or higher.”
“Are you saying that a guy like that was coiled up in my area without permission?”
Goran’s eyes, hidden behind sunglasses, twinkled.
Awakened people of C rank or higher are rare.
Those people choose the fancy Neo Seoul as their place of residence rather than these shabby slums.
There are not many people who choose to live in a slum when they can live in a clean city.
Most of those who choose the slums are those who cannot enter Neo Seoul for any reason.
Goran and his subordinates were also unqualified.
This is because he committed a lot of crimes from a very young age.
So they gave up on entering Neo Seoul early on and set their goal of conquering the slums.
To do this, a lot of capital was needed.
The answer to many of these problems were the croakers and alligators in front of me.
The drugs they supplied were precious items that could not be obtained anywhere else.
I couldn’t give it up.
Goran said to Eaton.
“You should go to him.”
“Is this a negotiation? “Is this extortion?”
“You meet and judge.”
“All right.”
“And if possible, pull them over to us. “If it’s C-level, it’ll be quite a force.”
“yes!”
Ethan bowed his head and answered.
He was not just a secretary.
He was a strong man with a force similar to that of Dolkan, the leader of the action. He was quite intelligent there.
Eaton would be able to solve this problem brilliantly.

“Smurf!”
Zeon ate his soup while making noise.
The soup made with the meat of an unknown animal was very delicious.
The place where he ate soup today was not old Clexi’s restaurant. At first, I mainly went to Clexi-inspired stores, but now I go to other stores more.
After finishing his bowl of soup, Zeon put the money on the table and got up.
“I really enjoyed the meal.”
“Osh again.”
“yes!”
Despite the owner’s blunt response, Zeon did not lose his smile.
If he had any pleasure, it would be to go to the market at night and eat a delicious meal.
Other than that, I was just lounging around the house doing nothing else.
Still, I didn’t know I was bored.
There has never been a more exciting time in his life than now.
I had lived an intense life for a long time, so I liked the quiet now.
Zeon hoped that this kind of peace would last as long as possible.
“Sweetheart!”
At that time, I suddenly heard old Clexi’s voice.
He called after seeing Zeon passing in front of his stall.
Xeon stopped and looked at Old Clexi.
“yes?”
“It seems like you go to places other than our store more these days?”
“You get bitten if you only eat at one place.”
“You’re not saying my food isn’t delicious, right?”
“It’s just okay to eat.”
“This is great. “Maybe even the guys inside Neo Seoul can’t taste like this.”
“I guess so.”
“You’re laughing at that, right? “It’s real.”
“yes yes!”
Old Clexi opened his eyes in awe at the sight of Zeon answering half-heartedly. But Zeon still had a bored expression.
“You bastard! “I get tired of talking to people…”
“Can I go now?”
“Sit down for a moment. “Let’s talk.”
“What are you talking about?”
“I told you to sit down first.”
Zeon had no choice but to sit in the front seat of the stall.
“What’s going on?”
“Are you going to keep playing like that?”
“why?”
“Why, man! “I do it because I have work to do.”
“What’s going on?”
“Are you interested?”
“If you don’t have it, are you going to just let it go?”
“You bastard! “It’s so frustrating…”
Old Clexi glanced at Zeon.
“So what’s going on?”
“Do you want to get a part-time job?”
“What part-time job?”
“It’s delivery work.”
“So what kind of delivery?”
“If you hear it, you must do it.”
“Then I won’t do it.”
Zeon stood up without hearing anything more.
I didn’t know much about old Clexi, but I knew he had a lot of subordinates.
Putting aside such subordinates and relying on yourself means that it is a matter that requires the utmost secrecy or that Old Clexi’s involvement must not be revealed.
If something went wrong, there was a high chance of being thrown up.
There was nothing good about being involved for no reason.
Zeon said.
“Let someone else do it.”
“hey!”
“I’m leaving.”
Zeon left without looking back.
Old Man Clexi clicked his tongue as he looked at Zeon’s back.
“You’re so incredibly fast.”
The fact that he was involved should not be revealed. That’s why he chose Zeon.
He has quite a bit of insight and skill.
What’s even better is that there is no burden even if you cut off the tail.
So he hinted at it, but Zeon noticed and immediately rejected it.
