Chapter 152: Hayden Hotel (2)
The man named Tanaka and six other men in suits stood in the way, naturally attracting all the attention of people in the lobby.
“Huh? Why are these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds blocking our path?”
Hu Bong asked with an annoyed expression. Tanaka, who stood in the way, spoke in Chinese despite the subtle hints of a j.a.panese accent.
“Did you come here with an invitation?”
“What are you talking about?”
Looking at the sword on Hu Bong’s waist, Tanaka asked,
“Are you a samurai?”
Samurai was a word meaning warrior. Hu Bong responded to Tanaka with a harsh tone.
“Move it.”
“Give me the invitation.”
“What?”
“If not, then...”
As Tanaka gestured, the men in black suits began to move, taking poses for normal karate but concentrating a certain energy around their hands. It was difficult to tell if it was internal energy, but they definitely dealt with a special energy.
“You will regret this.”
It meant that the invitation would be taken by force. The golden fox just yawned as it looked at the six men and Tanaka"s smiling expression.
-Yawn!
Interestingly, no one in the lobby wanted to get involved. Instead, they would rather—
Shhh!
Tanaka held out his hand.
“I’ll let you make the first move.”
The atmosphere became weird. How would this situation turn out? Seeing Hu Bong, one of Chun Yeowun’s party, wield a sword, everyone a.s.sumed that they would begin fighting.
“Annoying.”
Chun Yeowun ignored that and tried to walk ahead to the desk.
“このやろ!”
[This man!]
Tanaka"s expression hardened at Chun Yeowun’s actions and tried to pull out the blade on his waist.
Thud!
“Kuak!”
Tanaka’s knees bent and hit the floor. Fl.u.s.tered, he tried to stand up, but he couldn’t budge under the tremendous energy.
‘What the h.e.l.l is this?’
While Tanaka barely managed to lift his head, he looked at the woman who was looking down at him while pressing down her palms. She was Yu So-hwa, the infamous Gravity Witch.
“You arrogant b.i.t.c.h!”
“Haaa!”
Six men in black suits ran towards her, but Yu So-hwa just reached out her other hand and lowered it.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
“Kuak!”
“Ack!”
“H-How?”
They too fell on the floor. Because many powerful people appeared after her within the Sky Demon Order, she didn’t get to show off her skills often, but she was still one of the only three SS cla.s.s keepers.
Yu So-hwa asked Chun Yeowun in a polite manner,
“Can I deal with him? Vice-chairman?”
“Just in moderation.”
“Sure.”
Yu So-hwa lowered her palm further, causing the bodies to penetrate into the marble floor.
Shhhh!
Seeing this occurrence, many people in the lobby spoke in surprise.
“That woman… isn’t she the Gravity Witch?”
“Gravity Witch, Yu So-hwa!”
“What? The SS-cla.s.s keeper?”
Among the people with abilities, she was the top. Seeing how the j.a.panese people went against her, the observers thought that the men were done. However, someone came shooting at Yu So-hwa.
Shhh!
He was Suzushi, the right hand of Kenji. He was a samurai who ranked in the top three of the Odagumi, and, in deciding that Tanaka and the others were done for, moved to save his comrades. The speed at which he moved was quite quick.
However,
Wheik!
“Ack?”
Suzushi’s body floated to the ceiling in a tornado gust. Im So-hye was wriggling her fingers as she clicked her tongue.
“Tch.”
Suzushi held onto the ceiling to make sure he didn’t move further. He tried to kick the ceiling and move to Im So-hye, but…
Wheik!
The wind created a tremendous pressure impelling things to fly his way and people shouted again.
“Im So-hye the Red Wind!”
People called her Red Wind because she always had red lipsticks and red clothes on. There are only three people at the SS-cla.s.s keeper level, and two of them were here.
“Two SS-cla.s.s keepers?”
“W-what the h.e.l.l is this? Gate keepers?”
Only a few people knew that they quit as Keepers to become the secretaries of Chun Yeowun; all they knew was that they had quit as keepers.
‘Phew, I can’t let her have the spotlight.’
The human mind is very intriguing. She had no motivation to work for Chun Yeowun, but she didn’t want to fall behind Yu So-hwa.
“W-what are they?”
Kenji couldn’t hide his shock. The warriors that he brought with himself were the best of j.a.pan, but even they couldn’t go against these people.
‘Where did he find such monsters…’
Shh!
‘!?’
Kenji’s face went stiff at the cold blade which touched his neck. In front of him was a man with red hair: Hu Bong.
“Eh... You. Are you the boss?”
Kenji, who couldn’t speak Chinese, just nodded, knowing that any more actions and his neck would be cut.
“Final warning. Stop messing around and get out or you’ll regret it.”
“W-what?”
“You see him?”
Hu Bong asked by showing him Chun Yeowun.
“He is my Lord. You should be grateful that I am one here with the blade. If it was him, you would have lost your arm or even your jaw.”
Recently, Chun Yeowun had been ripping up more jaws than arms. A man could live with a missing arm, but could not with a missing jaw.
Creepy!
Kenji felt gooseb.u.mps rise on his body and nodded. It was impossible to win over these people.
“Then go back to your island.”
At that, Kenji shouted to his men.
“Withdraw!”
With that, he tried to move away fast to hide his face. And both the secretaries called back their abilities to let the other men run off too.
-Hmm, pretty good.
The golden-haired Gumiho on Chun Yeowun’s shoulder thought. She had seen many people over the years, so she knew that Chun Yeowun’s secretaries weren’t normal.
-Well. Kids, but good. Right? Chun Ma? Clap! Clap!
The fox licked Chun Yeowun’s neck with its tongue, to which he pushed the bridge of her nose.
Pak!
-Ah!
“Disgusting."
-You are being too much!
She screamed and went into his hands. To try and act cute but nothing worked on him. Kenji, who was running away, kept his head down, causing him to run into someone at the entrance.
‘Huh?’
Suddenly, he lowered his head and saw something – the clutch bag he cherished and in which he had placed the invitation card. Since it was a clutch bag made in France, he could never not recognize it, as it was the only one of its kind in the world.
“You were the one!”
Kenji was convinced that the person had his bag, which was either lost or stolen. Kenji grabbed it and tried to use his blade.
Papak!
At that moment, his body plummeted to the floor. Shocking members of his drew their swords, but.
Papapak!
In the blink of an eye, 12 people collapsed. The eyes of the people in the lobby went towards the scene.
At the entrance was a middle-aged man with a mustache and sungla.s.ses with a dark hood over his head. He seemed so relaxed that it was hard to tell whether he was the cause of the uproar.
But, people began to call out his name.
“Oh my…. Kohaku!”
“Kohaku!”
Hearing that, Chun Yeowun looked at the middle-aged man. He could feel great energy coming from him. No one else in the lobby was as strong as him.
“Teacher. He is… really strong.”
Ark Young said with a startled look. If he, a Supreme Master, was saying it, then Kohaku had to be strong. Bi Mak-heon, who knew about him, said,
“Vice-chairman. That person is Kohaku of Speed.”
“Speed?”
“He is the best warrior in j.a.pan.”
“The best?”
It wasn’t like Bi Mak-heon knew everything about foreign affairs, but he still made sure to keep track of the names that circulated often. And since j.a.pan was known to have more talented people, he made sure to know about them.
Kohaku of Speed was said to be at the pinnacle of G.o.dspeed, and to be the best in the Kanto region.
“That one looks strong. The Lord can take him down instantly. Hehe.”
Hu Bong said. As long as a warrior was fighting against Chun Yeowun, he would always feel sympathy for them.
“Hmm.”
Kohaku went past the Odagumi members and entered the lobby. He turned to Hu Bong and Ark Young, and he raised his sungla.s.ses with two fingers to get a good look at the strong men.
“He is looking at you, Lord.”
“Not interested.”
Of course, unlike them, Chun Yeowun lost interest.
It was weird to him that these people were coming here for an auction.
‘What kind of auction is this?’
He was skeptical, but he would find out when it was time. Chun Yeowun went to the desk, took out his invitation card, and handed it over.
“How many people are staying?”
“6.”
Confirming that, the hotel staff asked him to sign doc.u.ments and handed them key cards. There were a total of two cards, divided into rooms for men and women. He hadn’t even thought about staying at the hotel but was actually being given a room.
He turned away when the desk staff called for him.
“Wait a minute, customer.”
“Hm?”
The staff went to the back of the desk, pulling out a cage for dogs and cats.
The staff pointed to the fox on his arms and said.
“Hotel rules, sir. The pets need to be kept in cages.”
‘!?"
The fox glared but no one even looked at it. The great yokai was being treated as a domesticated pet.
The inside of the hotel room on the 15th floor was gorgeous. There wasn’t a single thing that wasn’t luxurious in it, from antique furniture to leopard carpets to a minibar. Not to mention, the huge 100-inch TV.
“Wow! This cannot be compared to anything I have seen.”
Hu Bong looked around in admiration, which was shown for every place he visited.
Shhh!
Unlike Hu Bong, Bi Mak-heon , upon entry, took out a device from his bag and searched the room.
“Mak-heon what are you doing?”
“I am checking to see if there are any cameras or wiretapping devices here.”
He knew what kind of group the MS group was from Chun Yeowun, so he was checking in advance since they seemed like a shady group of people. He handed this job to the secretaries, who began checking the room.
At that moment, Chun Yeowun looked at the door.
Belatedly, Hu Bong and Ark Young looked at it and frowned.
Bang! Bang!
Someone kept banging on the door. When he looked at Bi Mak-heon and nodded, Bi Mak-heon went to open it. However, he ended up flying across the other side of the room.
Thud!
Blood gushed out of his mouth as he barely managed to stand. He received a blow to the chest and suffered internal injuries instantly as two men walked through the door. The person at the forefront was the one who attacked, a middle-aged man with yellow hair and exotic appearance.
“Я наконец вижу вас, ребята!”
He came in saying something harshly; while no one else could understand it, Chun Yeowun could.
“I’m finally able to meet you guys.”
When he realized that the Ice Cold Staff went to Russian, Chun Yeowun asked Nano to feed the language. The language recognition let Chun Yeowun figure out that this man was Russian.
As if looking at the enemy, the Russian man glared at Chun Yeowun and the others and shouted.
“You are the group of murderers who killed Prime Minister Agonov and our other politicians.”
Chun Yeowun frowned.
This man seemed to be talking about the incident that occured 27 years ago. At that time, Chun Woo-jin was the Lord and was accused of committing the slaughter of everyone at a diplomatic meeting, which included the President of China and the Prime Minister of Russia. It was recently revealed that the indictment was wrong, but this man’s reaction meant that he was ignorant.
“What is this b.a.s.t.a.r.d saying!”
Hu Bong began to get angry on the behalf of Bi Mak-heon. The man behind the Russian opened his mouth.
“Подождите секунду.”
[Stop.]
At this, the Russian turned back with an anguished face as the person behind him stepped ahead.
A woman in her late 20s with gla.s.ses and curly hair in a neat suit appeared as she bowed and apologized.
“Sorry. I didn’t expect Mersen to be so agitated about the past.”
“Mersen?”
Bi Mak-heon looked at the Russian with an expressionless face, to which Chun Yeowun asked.
“Mak-heon, is this someone you know?”
“That man, Mersen Agonov, is a warrior and member of the Russian Federation.”
Mersen Agonov, a cousin of Agonov, was the last prime minister of the Russian federation and one of the best warriors in Russia.
He was known to be a monster unmatched in close combat and Sambo, a Russian martial art. He shed a lot of blood in the name of revenge as he searched for the members of Sky Demon Order.
“I thought they disappeared and returned back to their land.”
He didn’t expect to meet the man here. Along with the Murim a.s.sociation, it was difficult for the Cult to form because Mersen kept hunting down members.
“What good would talking with this disgusting b.a.s.t.a.r.d do?”
Mersen asked in an enraged voice to which the woman said.
“Поскольку переговоры еще не закончились, Пожалуйста, подождите”
[Wait until everything is decided.]
“Чего вы ждете? Я убью немедленно!”
[Wait for what! I will kill them right away!]
“Ждите шанса. Пожалуйста, подождите.”
[I will give you the chance so wait.]
At her words, Mersen stepped back. However, he showed a gesture of sliding his thumb by the neck. The woman smiled and spoke.
“Sorry. I felt like bringing him in as a guard. There are very few talented people these days, so please understand…”
At that moment, Chun Yeowun moved to Mersen. Surprised by the approach that happened in the blink of an eye, Mersen tried to hit back.
Pak!
“What?”
Crack!
“Kuak!”
Chun Yeowun grabbed the wrist of Mersen, who was unfolding Sambo, and broke it.
It was unusual for Mersen, a master in Sambo but it didn’t end there. Chun Yeowun then grabbed his head.
Grab!
The woman screamed.
“W-what are you doing?’
Chun Yeowun spoke in a dry voice.
“What were you thinking, bringing in this piece of s.h.i.t?”
“Huh?”
Push!
“Kuaaal!”
As soon as he said that, Chun Yeowun began to push his head down. Mersen ended up breaking his own neck as his head reached the torso, causing his spine to protrude out as he fell.
‘N-No!’
The woman couldn’t hide her shock. Mersen was one of the three top warriors in Russia. At that level, she thought no one could touch her or the man, but now he had become a chunk of meat in seconds.
To her, who knew nothing, Chun Yeowun said.
“A chance to kill? What a funny wench you are.”
‘!?’
Her face turned pale. She never fathomed that anyone in the room could understand the conversation they had in Russian.
