The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player - Chapter 140 (Part 1)
Chapter 140: Rude Customer (Part 1)
“Who is that?”
“Isn’t that actress Seo Arin?”
“Wow, amazing! She’s so pretty!”
The murmurs among the people grew louder with the arrival of Seo Arin.
Even the man causing the scene was momentarily flustered by the sudden appearance of a celebrity.
“Are you okay, Ryu Min?”
“Ah, yes… Thank you.”
“Please leave it to me and step back.”
Seo Arin, who had blocked the man’s attack with a fairy’s protective shield, turned her gaze away.
Ryu Min was internally surprised by this.
Clear hostility.
Even though it was their first meeting, Seo Arin was watching the opponent with sharp eyes.
‘She’s showing hostility because he’s a criminal player.’
Was it because of the betrayal by the actors she trusted before?
Just by looking into her eyes, it wasn’t the Seo Arin he used to know.
Seo Arin, who had also summoned a golem, warned the man.
“Will you continue, or will you willingly go to the police station?”
“Why would I go to the police? I haven’t committed a crime!”
“The crime you’ve just committed is clearly visible. Property damage.”
“This table? I didn’t do that!”
“You did!”
“Right. How many people saw it and you’re trying to deny it?”
As voices rose around him, the man’s face trembled.
“Are you crazy? How dare you, mere civilians…”
“It’s not just property damage. Didn’t you try to kill someone just now?”
“Kill? Who’s killing? It was just a threat!”
“Pulling out an axe and calling it a threat? If I hadn’t intervened, what would have happened? You might have ended up hurting someone if not killing him.”
‘Rather, that bastard would have been hurt, not me.’
Ryu Min wouldn’t have taken a hit from such a lowlife.
He would’ve avoided it on his own.
But showing off his power wouldn’t have been beneficial, so Ryu Min remained quiet.
He intended to leave it to Seo Arin for now.
“What do you say? Isn’t this enough reason to go to the police station?”
“F*ck…”
Unable to find a rebuttal, the man cursed.
How did it come to this?
‘I was just trying to get some money instead of robbery…’
It was a sort of blackmail using hair as an excuse, it’s cheap, but that wasn’t important.
It was better than robbery, wasn’t it?
Compared to other players who blatantly loot, he considered himself relatively honorable.
But things didn’t go as planned.
‘How did it get so twisted, f*ck.’
The man’s hostile gaze turned towards Seo Arin.
It didn’t seem like she would back down with just words.
‘Given the situation, I’ll have to get rid of this woman and escape.’
Preparing for battle, he held an axe in each hand.
Three pesky fairies and two golems seemed manageable.
But then.
He belatedly noticed.
Seo Arin had one more summon.
‘What’s that?’
A knight in armor stood in front of him, wielding a sword.
At first, he thought it was a human, but realizing that where there should’ve been eyes, there were only flickering blue flames, he recognized it as a summon.
A Soul Knight, a new summon Seo Arin had obtained at level 40.
‘F*ck, all these are her summons?’
Three Fairies, two Golems, and one Soul Knight.
Even just by numbers, it seemed disadvantageous.
His axe seemed petty compared to the challenges he had to overcome.
‘I knew Seo Arin was a summoner from the articles, but I didn’t expect her to have this many forces…’
Three might be manageable, but frankly, six summons were overwhelming.
‘Don’t be scared. No matter how many summons there are, killing the summoner ends it all. She’s probably level 40 and an expert rank like me. She can’t be that strong.’
Planning to catch her off guard while talking seemed like a good idea.
With that thought, the man asked.
“You want to get noticed as a celebrity, so why don’t you mind your own business and carry on with your day?”
“I’m a regular customer here. How can I watch you ruin the owner’s business? I absolutely can’t.”
Saying that Seo Arin raised three fingers.
“You have three choices. One, get arrested quietly by the police. Two, get caught by me quietly. Three, resist and still get caught.”
“What kind of choices are those, all ending in getting caught?”
“It’s only natural to get caught when you’ve done wrong.”
“You fcking btch, I’ll kill you!”
Eventually, unable to hold back his anger, the man charged.
“Okay then, this is self-defense since you attacked first.”
The golems moved in front of Seo Arin.
Clang! Clank!
Though he tried to swing his axe at Seo Arin, it seemed as if his arm was magnetically drawn to the golems instead.
‘F*ck, why does my attack keep going towards the golems?’
Unbeknownst to the man, the golems had a skill to draw the enemy’s aggression.
“F*ck, move, you bastards!”
While the golems drew aggro, three fairies flying behind sent beams of light towards the man.
Ziiiing-!
“Aah, f*ck!”
The man screamed as the beam hit his back, swinging his axe.
Whoosh- Whoosh!
But only slicing through air, as the nimble fairies were not hit.
“You f*cking fairies!”
The man, now burned, glared murderously at Seo Arin.
“What self-defense? You attacked me first, you fcking btch!”
“Don’t you know that the law has changed recently? Haven’t you heard of the Anti-Player Law?”
“Who cares about that? Anyone who dares attack me gets fcked up, no matter who they are. Got it? Being a celebrity won’t save you, you fcking b*tch!”
“Oh? Were you being considerate all this time? Sorry, I didn’t notice.”
Hearing Seo Arin’s sly words, Ryu Min thought.
‘She’s an actress, so her acting is top-notch.’
On the other hand, the other guy was boiling with rage.
“Fcking btch, playing games with me! Fine. I’m getting serious now!”
Activating the gladiator skill [Rage], red smoke rose from the man’s body.
Ziiiing-!
Once again, the fairy’s beam scorched his body, but he seemed not to feel any pain as he charged towards Seo Arin.
Despite commands to block, the golems’ taunts seemed ineffective.
“Huh?”
As Seo Arin wore a puzzled expression, the distance between them quickly closed.
“Die, you fcking btch!!!”
Just as the man’s axe was about to reach Seo Arin.
Clang-!
The Soul Knight stepped in, engaging the man in a one-on-one battle.
Clang- Clang- Crash!
Fighting in such a cramped restaurant caused great chaos; dishes shattered, and tables crashed.
Seo Arin, though feeling like she would be unable to look into the owner’s face later, prioritized subduing the man before her.
Fortunately, it seemed that subduing him would be easy.
The man, who had been blocking the knight’s attacks with his axe, was clearly being pushed back.
“Damn it, is this a summoned creature? Why is it so strong?”
The movements and swordsmanship of the soul knight were so advanced they could be mistaken for those of a player.
Swoosh-
Eventually, as the knight’s sword touched the man’s throat, he raised his hands in surrender.
“I give up. I admit defeat. Please don’t kill me. Please.”
“You admit you were at wrong?”
“Yeah, I was at wrong. I’ll compensate for everything!”
“Compensation is a given, but you must also obey the law.”
Seo Arin pointed towards the door with her chin.
The police, having been called by the owner, were waiting at a distance for the situation to conclude.
“Officers, we’ve caught a criminal player here.”
“Oh, yes. Please keep him like that for a moment.”
