Episode 152 Stealing a thief’s liver (2)
– Jeong Geun-ho? Is he calling you?
Baek Woo-jin narrowed his eyes as he looked at the cell phone screen.
I couldn’t understand why Jeong Geun-ho called when he should have run away at the re sight of his own shadow.
“You’ll understand when you receive it.”
[Hello.]
When I answered the phone, I heard Jeong Geun-ho’s slightly dejected voice.
“What’s wrong with you? “Let’s fight again?”
[Oh no! no! Absolutely not!]
Jeong Geun-ho’s urgent voice ca out from the cell phone.
-Well, no matter how stone-headed I am, I now understand the difference between you and .
Heukam chuckled as he thought about Jeong Geun-ho’s expression.
In the black market duel, Baek Woo-jin clearly transford Jeong Geun-ho’s personality.
As long as it has the learning ability of a human, no matter what, it won’t be able to attack it.
“Then what is it?”
[Congratulations on going to China and defeating the Cheonmu-Maeng guys. I comnted that you did really well and praised you…]
“I know and you know that you didn’t do it. “Just get to the point.”
[It’s true….]
In fact, Jeong Geun-ho left a comnt on Baek Woo-jin’s article.
The problem was that the comnt was a malicious comnt about Baek Woo-jin.
“So why are you calling?”
[Are you planning on doing escort missions?]
“Escort? “Who?”
[Actually, it is more about stopping thieves than it is about escorting. Three days later, the chairman of Daeyoung Group is holding a party and hears that a thief is coming…]
“If it’s Daeyoung Group, is it Daeyoung Park?”
[how did you know? That’s right!]
Park Dae-young was not a huge tycoon, but I rembered his na because he was caught for committing various corruptions and cris.
“I will not.”
Baek Woo-jin imdiately refused.
No matter how much money I gave, I didn’t want to help a criminal.
[That’s right! I knew it would be like that!]
Jeong Geun-ho’s voice beca brighter.
He was actually happy that Baek Woo-jin refused the mission.
“But why did you suddenly call and offer a mission?”
[Uhm….]
“It would be better to be honest. “If you investigate, everything will co out anyway.”
[Actually, while I was having drinks with the chairman, your na ca up and I asked if I could bring you too…]
“I know what it is.”
Baek Woo-jin looked at Jeong Geun-ho’s na on the screen with pitiful eyes.
“I guess the chairman was bluffing and saying he was close to and then asked to bring him too. So when I told him not to do it, he actually liked it.”
[….]
Jeong Geun-ho answered by not answering.
“I thought things might have changed, but the bravado is still the sa.”
-After all, people don’t change easily. It seems like only the problem has been fixed for you.
[That….]
Perhaps because he was embarrassed, Jeong Geun-ho was speechless.
“No matter what, I won’t do it. “It would be best for you to cut off ties with that person.”
[what? Why?]
Baek Woo-jin warned him not because of Jeong Geun-ho, but because of Yoon Woo-min, who taught him.
“I don’t know the reason, just what I said…”
Several mories flashed through Baek Woo-jin’s mind as he spoke.
“Could it be that Muyounggaek sent a notice?”
[How did you do that?]
Jeong Geun-ho’s horrified voice was heard.
Baek Woo-jin saw Jeong Geun-ho’s embarrassed reaction and beca convinced that Mu Young-gaek had sent a notice.
-What is Muyeonggaek?
‘He’s a thief. He walks quickly and quietly, and his disguise and acting skills are amazing.’
-So the thief sent a notice? What kind of crazy person is that….
‘They say it’s officialdom.’ A few years later, he wrote a book based on the true story of his theft.’
-Then you’re just a fool?
‘There were cases where he used a notice to steal, so he’s not completely crazy.’
Muyeonggaek is a person of interest in itself.
A person who needed people’s attention to gain strength beca a thief who needed no attention, so what he did couldn’t be normal.
‘Still, there were so people who liked it.’
-That crazy guy? Why?
‘Most of the people who stole were criminals or rich people. I also did a bit of charity to help other people.’
Muyeonggaek was popular in his own way because he perford unusual eccentricities and sotis committed acts of rogue.
‘If I do this well…’
Baek Woo-jin’s face brightened as he recalled past mories.
“I will.”
[Huh?]
“I do. Just tell them to keep my na a secret.”
[Are you really doing this? really? No, it’s too weak for your na, isn’t it? Plus, the compensation….]
“If you ask one more ti, I’ll go right away and get my money back….”
[Ah, I understand. I understand!]
Before Baek Woo-jin could say the word ‘shit in the back’, Jeong Geun-ho answered in rapid fire.
“Send the address.”
[Yes…]
Baek Woo-jin hung up the phone and laughed.
“Jung Geun-ho is helpful in everything.”
-help? What on earth are you thinking?
“Several.”
* * *
After Baek Woo-jin hung up the phone, he packed up the books he had prepared in advance and headed to the Lion’s Castle.
It was to get one piece of help in return for the help of the lichs in the Karun dungeon.
“huh?”
Even before the door to the top floor was opened, voices of intense discussion could be heard coming from within the room.
-Have there been any argunts about magic?
“I don’t know.”
Baek Woo-jin opened the door and went inside.
The Riches were sitting down in the center of the room, watching the ga console.
He was so focused that he had no idea he was there.
“Here, you have to ask Seonhee on a date!”
“Then you won’t be able to see Yuri’s ending!”
“Yuri is my childhood friend, so he ends up following ! “Here, we need to increase Sunhee’s likeability rating!”
“I listened to what you said, but I couldn’t defeat anyone in the previous episode!”
“That’s because Mr. Carden built up favorability too promiscuously…”
Baek Woo-jin, who was approaching the lichs, stopped as tall as a stone statue.
When I looked at the ga console screen with trembling eyes, I saw a scene where a woman with pink pigtails was smiling.
-Isn’t that the ga console you gave ?
‘I gave it to you…’
Even Baek Woo-jin didn’t know what the ga was in there.
‘Kim Woo-hyuk brought that.’
-Kim Woohyuk?
‘I was busy preparing for training, so I couldn’t get them a gift. So, I asked Kim Woo-hyuk, who seed to have the best fun, if he had any interesting stuff these days.’
-Oh, I saw that too.
-Kim Woo-hyuk handed them over with a smile, so I took them to the Riches, but I didn’t know it was a ga like that…’ I knew it was a ga, but I never opened it, so I never imagined it was a
ga like that.
“Why are you asking Yuri out on a date again? “Let’s go see Sunhee!”
“I like glass! “I actually like lamb braids!”
“Please pay for the night! “Why are we so divided when we’re over 600 years old!”
“You like the ponytails of people over 400 years old!”
Carden and Fes were still arguing without knowing that Baek Woo-jin had arrived.
-Am I dreaming?
“….”
* * *
“Hmm! “If you co, tell you ca.”
Carden scratched his cheekbone with an embarrassed smile.
Fes was hiding behind Carden and kneeling because he was embarrassed.
“I stopped by to give you sothing new and to ask you a favor…”
Baek Woo-jin looked at the portable ga console behind Carden with dumbfounded eyes.
“Oh this. It was quite fun. “There are many different flavors.”
-It wasn’t my fault, it just fell out?
“I see…”
Just as the darkness said, Carden and Fes looked like they did a little while ago before engaging in battle with the enemy of life and death.
“What is your favor?”
“I want to track down a person. Is there an item or dark magic that can do that?”
“Tracking?”
“It doesn’t matter if the distance is short, but the location must be accurate.”
“If it’s okay for it to be disposable, I can make an artifact.”
Carden imdiately nodded as if he was confident.
“How long will it take?”
“You said it’s disposable and it doesn’t matter if the distance is short, so I can complete it by tomorrow.”
“Then make it for .”
Baek Woo-jin nodded.
“All right. But what is that?”
Carden’s eyes glowed blue when he saw the bag Baek Woo-jin had brought. It was a look full of expectation.
“These are so new books that might be helpful to you.”
Baek Woo-jin gave the books in his bag to Carden.
These were books about history and culture.
“Hmm….”
“Hmm….”
Carden and Fes ca to the front and looked perplexed when they saw the book Baek Woo-jin had brought.
The two pretended to look through the book and then put it down.
“Is there a prequel to this?”
Carden placed the ga console on top of the book Baek Woo-jin brought.
“Prequel?”
“yes. I heard this is part 2. So that ans there is a prequel. “I want to do a full story.”
“….”
Baek Woo-jin’s expression turned blank because he didn’t know if there was a prequel or what the na of the ga was.
“I’ll find out later.”
I nodded, thinking that since Kim Woo-hyuk brought it to , I could just ask him.
“thank you!”
“You will be blessed!”
Carden and Fes jumped up and bowed their heads.
Fes was using the word blessed in the the of lychee.
He looked completely different from when I gave him the book.
“I have one question.”
“yes!”
“How did you guys charge that?”
“Oh, charging. “The manual said it needed electricity, so I did this.”
After creating a lightning bolt in his hand, Fes was manipulating the lightning very thinly and pouring it into the battery part of the ga console.
-You charged the ga console using advanced mana manipulation? That advanced technology can only be used to charge ga consoles?
The Liches were showing off their energy by charging the ga console using advanced mana manipulation that only top-level wizards could do.
-You have corrupted the lichs once more.
“….”
– Even the devil can accomplish the impossible. Baek Woo-jin accomplishes this difficult task!
“….”
* * *
Baek Woo-jin asked Carden for an artifact and then went to Geomgak and called Kim Woo-hyuk.
“I’m talking about the ga console you gave .”
“Are you doing well?”
“I don’t know, but he was very crazy.”
“That’s a good thing!”
Kim Woo-hyuk smiled brightly.
I gave it to him after putting so thought into it, but I felt good when I heard that the response was positive.
“So, you said you wanted to do a prequel. Is there a prequel?”
“Of course there is! “What does he know?”
-Not a person….
“Actually, the fact that there is a sequel ans that the previous film is a masterpiece. “It would be great if you tried it too, Master.”
“I’m sorry, but it’s not to my taste. But have you always liked comics like that?”
“I really liked it since I was little. I healed the pain of training with gas and comics. “When I was at Jegeomgak, I almost went crazy because I couldn’t play gas.”
“Ah…”
Baek Woo-jin felt belated regret after hearing Kim Woo-hyuk’s words.
If Hong Nam-gi had recomnded a gift, the strange situation of Richie becoming an otaku wouldn’t have occurred.
“I’ll bring you part 1 right away.”
Kim Woo-hyuk smiled and left the lounge.
He seed happy as his otaku comrades increased.
“I should have prepared from the beginning…”
-The lichs have already crossed the river of no return. Give up.
* * *
Baek Woo-jin headed to Park Dae-young’s private residence on the morning of the day when Mu-young was announced to be arriving.
“You really ca.”
“Then are you going to co fake?”
When Jeong Geun-ho saw Baek Woo-jin, he looked helpless and stepped back.
“Sigh!”
As Baek Woo-jin approached, Jeong Geun-ho unconsciously covered the back of his head. It was an instinctive move.
“What are you doing?”
“Oh no!”
Sweat was seeping from Jeong Geun-ho’s forehead.
“But if it’s worth your na, I guess there’s no need to co here…”
“That’s it. Please guide .”
Baek Woo-jin put on a gray mask and waved his hand.
“I understand…”
With an awkward expression, Jeong Geun-ho led Baek Woo-jin to Park Dae-young’s room on the fourth floor of the mansion.
“Welco!”
A middle-aged man with a sagging belly and a glowing face walked out of the most luxurious room on the fourth floor.
After that, a young man and woman who appeared to be secretaries followed.
“My na is Daeyoung Park of Daeyoung Group.”
“My na is Baek Woo-jin.”
Baek Woo-jin took off his mask and said hello.
“You look much taller in person than on screen!”
Daeyoung Park burst into laughter, puffing his cheeks.
“Thank you so much for coming. I asked you to make an offer, but I really didn’t expect you to co. “I guess you are really close to Master Jeong Sohwan, as you said!”
Hearing Park Dae-young’s words, Jeong Geun-ho looked at Baek Woo-jin with a prickly expression.
“It is said that Muyounggaek’s walking techniques and movents are as good as those of most martial artists. “I wanted to compete once.”
Baek Woo-jin did not look at Jeong Geun-ho and answered lightly without any change in his expression.
“You ca because you wanted to catch Mu Younggaek yourself! “You are amazing!”
Park Dae-young’s eyes lit up as if he was impressed.
“After seeing the prosecutor’s face and hearing his words, I finally feel relieved. “Please sit down first.”
“no. “I’ll get to work right away.”
Daeyoung Park put his hand on the sofa as if telling him to sit down, but Woojin Baek shook his head.
“You don’t have to start working anymore. “If you’re enjoying the party and he shows up, all you have to do is catch him.”
“Muyeonggaek is a thief who is excellent at disguise and movent. “If you let your guard down, you will be robbed.”
“As expected, professionals are different. Secretary Kim. “I will show Prosecutor Baek a tour of the house.”
“My na is Jintae Kim. “Please co this way.”
The young man behind Daeyoung Park bowed his head politely.
When Baek Woo-jin got up, Jeong Geun-ho also got up in an awkward posture.
“You stay here.”
After making Jeong Geun-ho sit down, Baek Woo-jin put on his mask again and stood up.
“Only the CEO’s room is on the 4th floor. Most docunts and important items are in the safe in the representative’s room. That’s why we have the most surveillance and protection.”
“okay.”
“Then I’ll go to the third floor.”
Kim Jin-tae introduced the mansion to Baek Woo-jin, showing all the rooms from the 4th floor above ground to the 2nd basent floor.
-Is that strange?
‘what?’
-That guy is deliberately hiding the lightness of his steps. Sotis I can see that my steps are strangely light. It looks ordinary, but its movents are smooth.
‘It’s darkness after all. ‘You have a keen eye.’
-what?
‘This is a martial arts guest.’
-Huh?
It jumped and bounced like a carp in a dark lake.
-That guy? So the secretary was the culprit?
‘That’s not it, he was disguised as a secretary nad Kim Jin-tae. I told you that Muyounggaek’s specialties are disguise and acting. The real secretary is locked up sowhere.’
Baek Woo-jin nodded as if it was no big deal.
-How did you know that?
‘I told you. Mu Young-gaek wrote down the theft he committed and submitted it. I don’t know everything, but I saw sothing about this on the internet. And just like you, I beca convinced after seeing that guy’s footwork.’
-Huh….
Darkness was speechless as if it was absurd.
-Then you’ll catch that guy when he steals and play hero again? Ugh, I hate to see this.
‘no. I’ll let you go.’
-What? Let go, let go?
‘You can’t kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.’
Seeing a smile blooming from the corner of Baek Woo-jin’s mouth, Darkness felt an inexplicable sense of anxiety.
