Episode 48 Black Market (1)
“Be careful. What are you talking about?”
Jinhyuk lowered his voice.
[That guy. It smells weird. Should I say it’s unpleasant and embarrassing? Unlike you, it’s a scent I don’t want to eat even if I die of starvation.]
I said something.
Was it about the smell of blood?
What the hell does this guy think of people?
A walking lunch box?
Or a snack to eat when you’re bored?
Either way is not normal.
[Looking at his expression, I can understand what he’s imagining, but he’s not joking around, he’s giving real advice. That man is absolutely not a normal person.]
It’s a pretty serious voice.
“Hmm…”
Jinhyuk’s expression hardened slightly.
Seeing you say this, it’s not just a joke.
I glanced ahead and saw a blonde haired white man in a white suit.
A young man who looks to be in his 20s. However, the composure naturally ingrained in the body was to the extent that it somehow felt old.
“ha ha ha! No big deal.”
“No really! How did you know?”
The man and the stewardess were chatting about what was fun.
‘From the outside, it looks like a young CEO or the second generation of a conglomerate family…’
Is he hiding something more as Ellis said?
There is only one way to find out.
Jinhyeok carefully activated ‘Eye of Truth’ so that the opponent would not notice.

[Copy conditions: Depending on your affinity with the target, you can copy one of the unique abilities and skills. However, in order to achieve the highest intimacy, you must join the ‘Mine Association’.]
This can’t be…!
An earthquake occurred in Jinhyeok’s pupils.
I can’t believe that man was one of the demons.
Are you saying that the smirk on your face was all a lie?
[Look at that. am i right? Even so, if my nose were the second best in the Tower of Trials, I would be saddened…]
Elise raised her voice, saying she was great, but thanks to putting the ring in her pocket, she couldn’t hear anything anymore.
This guy is useful, but his only downside is that he’s talkative.
It’s a problem that she still thinks she’s a queen.
It was then.
“Are you enjoying your trip comfortably? Player Kang Jin-hyuk?”
The flight attendant smiled and approached.
It was fine at times.
It was an opportunity to ask additional information about Alex.
“yes. Thanks.”
“If you have any inconvenience, please tell me at any time. ah! I also brought some snacks, would you like some?”
“I’m still hungry, but thank you.”
Jinhyuk was handed a beef steak sandwich and a can of Blanc beer.
At the same time, I guessed a rhyme about Alex.
“Looking at it, it looks like there are other people in first class besides me. Are you an Awakener?”
“Oh, you mean Alex!”
When asked about Alex, the flight attendant responded with a smile.
It seems to have bought a lot of favor.
“I am an executive of a famous French cosmetics company. He came to Korea on business and said he was going to America today.”
That guy is an executive of a cosmetics company?
It’s a job that doesn’t fit at all with a necromancer who handles corpses.
It’s fun.
‘It’s probably not a coincidence that he’s in first class with me.’
It is highly likely that it was deliberately boarded.
And that’s only one reason.
It must be to re-do the recruiting that the two-member group failed last time.
‘Anyway, I wonder how it will come out this time.’
Since the assassination request of Cheon Yoo-seong failed, they will not be able to openly approach him.
Either come with more attractive conditions than then, or slowly build up a crush on them and try to embrace them.
Jinhyeok relaxedly crossed his arms.
As long as I knew the opponent’s purpose in advance, the ending of this play was supposed to flow as I wanted.
All you have to do is put on an innocent face and pretend to fall for his target.
How many hours had passed like that?
Alex got up and went to the bathroom.
To be precise, I pretended to go to the bathroom and approached this way.
“uh? I can’t believe it….”
Alex, who saw Jinhyeok, widened his eyes.
It’s like meeting a celebrity in real life.
“excuse me. Aren’t you the player Kang Jin-hyeok, who received an S-class judgment in Korea today?”
A little excited face.
warble.
hey look at his acting skills
Would you believe me if I said that this is not a corporate executive, but a movie star?
But when it comes to acting, this one doesn’t lose either.
“yes. I was judged with an S grade a little while ago.”
“also! Today, I also watched the video uploaded to the [Tower of Trials] community again and again. It’s really amazing. I never thought I would meet the person I saw in the video.”
Alex, who had been talking excitedly for a long time, remembered something. I rummaged in the inside pocket of my suit.
“Excuse me… I’m Alex Jude Law.”
On the business card handed over, there were letters that read ‘Overseas Sales Director of De Peona Corporation’.
“This is Kang Jin-hyeok.”
“It’s fate that we met like this, so why don’t we go to a bar and have a drink? Time goes by quickly if you have at least some alcohol on a long trip.”
Build friendships disguised as coincidences.
Definitely not a bad way.
Especially if you have a gentle mask and fancy speech.
but well
Who will be the last to laugh in this discourse?
“What would you like to pass the time on? I was a little sad that I was only going to drink beer.”
＊＊＊
The place we arrived at was a bar for first and business passengers.
“I have a drink I like to drink. Is it okay to drink it?”
“Anything is fine as long as it has degrees.”
“haha. You don’t have to worry about that.”
Louis XIII.
It is the highest quality cognac that is sold at 15 million won per bottle in salons.
Alex made it as nonchalant as getting Coke from a vending machine.
one cup or two.
As the strong liquor was emptied, the vigilance between the two gradually faded.
At least Alex believed that.
And when finally the whole bottle is empty.
“Actually, I came to Korea not because of cosmetics. It was to expand the business to those related to the Awoken.”
Alex started talking in earnest.
Dalgrak.
A piece of ice the size of a child’s fist moved inside the glass.
Jinhyeok pretended not to know.
“Awakened-related business?”
“yes. First of all, I tried to lighten it up. I have a small problem.”
“If it’s a problem, what…?”
“Before I tell you that, player Kang Jin-hyeok, do you know about the person wearing a mask recently?”
Of course you know.
Because that mask is still in the suitcase.
If I take it out and use it right away, I think this guy’s expression will be quite worth seeing….
I have to endure it right now.
Because the story isn’t over yet.
Jinhyuk adjusted his expression. And he spoke.
“I have seen it a few times through video. He was the player who played the biggest role in clearing the ‘corridor of the corrupted’ on the first floor. A while ago, at a meeting held between large guilds, the 4th floor strategy was announced. By the way, what problem does he have with Mr. Alex’s company?”
“Should we call it a kind of bowl fight? We also wanted to help in defeating the boss, but he blocked it very strongly. Maybe he just wanted to take all the credit.”
look at this guy
You don’t even spit on your mouth and you just make up words?
After editing the part related to Mine and uploading the video…
It seems that the third person will never know the truth.
‘Even if I hit the ball, how do I hit the person in question?’
I can’t be fooled even if I want to be fooled by this.
Jinhyeok smiled.
I think it would be quite fun to listen to how far the bullshit goes.
“You are a very greedy friend. The person who wore that mask.”
“you’re right! too much! So that’s it. If player Kang Jin-hyeok would go with us… it would be of great help to us.”
“Me?”
“yes! Starting from S rank, since the right to act alone is given, no one will be able to touch Kang Jin-hyeok.”
therefore.
Would you like to use the privileges of S-class to add a spoonful to the 4th floor?
What should I say?
Should I say that my face is really thick?
Even if you poke it with a ballpoint pen, there won’t be a single drop of blood. this.
“It’s not that I don’t like Alex, but it’s a little too much to ask.”
“Of course, I plan to give you a price worthy of the unreasonable demand.”
As if Alex had been waiting, he opened the subspace inventory.
Whoops!
What appeared along with the brilliant light was a blue liquid elixir contained in a transparent crystal.
Even if you get sick to death.
Or a legendary potion that can heal even a broken heart.
‘Really, what on earth are these guys doing to have so many expensive things like that?’
no seriously.
If possible, I want to catch me sometime and shoot a vlog about Mine’s day.
How viciously you have to live from the time you wake up in the morning to the time you go to sleep to keep your back warm and full. watch and learn
Jinhyeok fiddled with the bottle containing the elixir.
“This is… coveted.”
Then Alex pulled out a piece of paper.
“As long as you sign the contract, the elixir belongs to player Kang Jin-hyeok.”
[Alex activates Lv5 ‘Contract of the Dead’!]
A faint but ominous energy surged up.
It was a unique skill of Necromancers who had binding power from the contracted opponent.
‘Am I really using this?’
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.
On the surface, it is no different from an ordinary contract.
that’s why it’s scary
Because it was so easy to get caught without knowing.
‘Because it’s an absolute judgment, if you get caught once, you must do what’s written in the contract.’
The only failure is death. So, don’t get caught here.
However, not signing the autograph was such a waste of the Elixir.
“ah!”
Jinhyuk lightly clapped his hands as if he remembered something.
“Have you decided?”
“yes. I’m sorry, but I won’t sign it. These days, there are so many scams, so it’s a caution not to play with the pen carelessly.”
“That…that is disappointing. Then the Elixir has no choice but to do something that didn’t exist.”
Alex stretched out his hand toward Jinhyeok.
The contract was broken, so he meant to give the elixir.
but.
“I will keep this for myself.”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s also a caution not to spit out the candy I put in my mouth until I finish eating it.”
Having said that, he quietly gathered his mana.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
The plane rocked violently.
“Shi passengers. Everyone fasten their seat belts as the plane staggers for a while due to the turbulence… Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa sound,
“I want everyone to stop moving for a moment.”
The crew moved hurriedly.
Everyone thought that this phenomenon was due to turbulence.
“I will go back to my seat to be safe. Alex, follow the flight attendant’s instructions.”
Jinhyeok smiled smirking at Alex, who was biting his molars.
why?
If it’s unfair, do you try it with force?
But are you okay?
A necromancer… What are you going to do with no corpses?
Are you trying to kill everyone here?
‘well.’
It won’t happen.
To the extent that he can decide that much on his own. The authority that Alex has within the Mine Association is not great.
