Episode #80. Tragedy.
Black Dragon Construction, a conglomerate that boasts one of the largest sales scales among affiliates of the Black Dragon clan, excluding the Leviathan Hotel.
As such, the position of Black Dragon Construction was so high that working here itself was considered close to success for the Black Dragon clan.
But at least for this moment.
There was no family to envy those who worked at Black Dragon Construction.
Because it was difficult for a dead person to become an object of envy and jealousy at any time and in any era.
Even more so if the death was gruesome.
“It’s very muddy.”
“…Do you say that when you see this devastation?”
“I have to come.”
Limon answered calmly, looking at what was in front of him and continued.
“The more gruesome the corpse, the more objective the autopsy is.”
From the 360-degree twisted neck like a twist to the intestines pulled out through the slit abdomen stuck in both eyes.
The body is truly horrific.
It was the look of the murderer’s malice intact, as if he tried to kill as horrific as possible.
Even Wei-Ling, who always had a cold expression, couldn’t bear to straighten his frown.
However, unlike her, Limon’s gaze as he observed the corpse was infinitely calm.
“Hmm… the first cut was the abdomen? In a state of slow movement, the neck is only behind the eyes.”
Do you have the discerning eye of a sword master?
Or is it the experience of making countless corpses?
Recalling what had happened at the moment the corpse was murdered simply by looking at it lightly, Limon shook his head.
And as if that was enough, he turned round and asked.
“Where next?”
“Do you need an answer?”
“Well, I don’t even need to hear it.”
One time to shake my head.
Following the bloodstains left on the floor, Limon entered the bathroom, and an autopsy of the corpse shredded and stuck in the toilet bowl.
Compared to the decapitated corpse from a moment ago, it was more miserable, but not lacking.
But that was just the beginning.
A corpse caught in a door frame.
A corpse whose face had been completely dismembered.
A corpse pierced like a skewer by a sculpture.
Beyond that, from the dining room to the stairway office or lobby. Among the numerous corpses scattered throughout the building, not a single one was intact.
The highlight was the elevator.
How many corpses were forcibly crumpled?
The arms and legs protruding through the gaps in the wide elevator were so disgusting to look at.
“Hmm.”
Meanwhile, Limon did not raise an eyebrow.
I just looked at the wounds left on the body, compared them with memories, and collected clues about the culprit.
Because Limon’s attitude was so calm, it was to the extent that the soldiers of the Black Dragon clan, who were watching the guards, made displeased faces.
how much time has passed
After looking around hundreds of corpses from the first floor, Limon finally stopped walking in one room.
The office, which had been so splendid before when it was served by Wang Feng Shui, but now it is broken, broken, and covered in blood, making it the most hideous office.
“…”
and the middle of the room.
He stood in front of a corpse that had become so bloody that it was difficult to recognize its original form.
“Chief Wang.”
A middle-aged man with a characteristic mustache rising from both sides who only looked back after hearing the call.
Wang Shi-sik made a surprised expression when he saw Limon.
“Swordsmith old man? What else are you doing here?”
“Don’t be so surprised. I didn’t come here to beat you like last time.”
“…Are you cooperating with the investigation?”
“Guardian is a security company dedicated to the Black Dragon clan. Employees of affiliates were completely slaughtered, but you can’t just keep your seat, can you?”
“It’s not all that bad. Employees who were absent due to vacation or business trips at the time are safe.”
After a brief pause, Wang Fengsong raised a finger and pointed at himself.
“Including myself in recuperation.”
“I was lucky.”
“I say so. Who knew that getting scolded by the swordsman that day would turn out to be such a blessing?”
Wang Fengsong laughed generously.
Then, he turned his finger, which had been pointed at him, and pointed at the corpse lying in front of him.
“Well, thanks to that, on the other hand, my cousin ended up like this.”
Take a moment to look at Wang Ki-seong’s smiling face even in front of Wang Ki-seong’s corpse.
Limon slightly bowed his head.
“…my condolences.”
“Oh, there is no need for that. The guy whose name is my agent couldn’t protect the staff and died, so I’m just grateful that he didn’t punish me.”
“I can’t punish you. Your cousin fought the best he could.”
Compared to other places that were covered in blood, it was clear that Wang Ki-seong had struggled until the very end, just looking at the office where everything from furniture to walls and ceilings was smashed.
However, Wang Feng shook his head.
“What matters is the result.”
“Are you saying that effort and struggle are meaningless because no one was able to protect them anyway?”
“When I think of the stock price that will drop because of this, my eyes go dark. How can I make up for it with a few words like hard work or best?”
“Well that’s it.”
Limon smiled as he saw Wang Yin-sik, who laughed and said, “Effort can’t buy money.”
Even in the age of heroes, his heyday, there were many who valued the result rather than the process, and efforts without results or honor without substance were often buried.
Even more so, this iron age when money and power became everything.
It would be fortunate if he did not become the target of ridicule, let alone acknowledge the fighting spirit he fought without giving up until the end.
“In that sense, can I, the old swordsman, ask you a small favor?”
“what? Are you sure you want to catch the culprit?”
“It is the opposite. If possible, please refrain from meddling in this matter.”
It’s an unexpected request.
It was usually a request that the victim’s relatives had never heard of and never heard of.
But instead of being surprised or taken aback, Limon narrowed his eyes and looked at the king.
“Do you mean to regain your shattered honor on your own?”
“As Swordsman knows, our Seven Dragons are a rather complex organization. Face is ruined, but if you can’t do anything, it’s over.”
The Shanghai royal family is still a weak family.
However, Wang Ki-seong, who was the head of the family, was beaten by Limon and was not enough to lie in a hospital bed, and even Wang Ki-seong, who served as the deputy, was killed, and his reputation fell to the bottom.
In the meantime, what if Limon even catches the beast?
The Shanghai royal family will be ridiculed not only by the Black Dragon Clan, but by all members of the Seven Dragons.
“So you want to catch the beast yourself?”
“Yep, if you do well, even the stock price that fell will be able to rise again.”
After answering with a genuine smile, Wang Shikong rubbed his palms and slightly lowered his voice.
“Of course, I am not asking you for free. I know you need to show off your achievements to the swordsman, too.”
It is a major incident in which an employee of an affiliate was massacred and even the acting head of a prestigious family died.
If Limon takes the lead in resolving this issue, not only will he achieve great achievements, but he will be able to gain favorable attention from his family.
To the extent that such an opportunity was conceded without a price, Wang Shikyeong was not a person without calculation.
“If the swordsman concedes this, he will gain the support of the Shanghai royal family instead.”
“Are you going to help me? What is your family name?”
“yep. Anyway, my family has a bad reputation. Now, even if you want to stick with the swordsman, you won’t have any more desire to eat.”
Wang Feng said naturally.
Then, as if urging an answer, he looked at Limon with a wavering face.
“How are you? At this point, I think it’s a pretty good deal.”
It was never an empty word.
The Shanghai royal family is a prestigious family, no matter how much they are in the middle of the day.
It was clear that if Limon could do anything in the future, it would be easy if he could gain the power of those who have been established in the Seven Dragons for hundreds of years.
“No, it’s a crappy deal.”
“…Are you saying you’re going to intervene after all?”
“There is no need to pay for that, so you can catch the beast and eat it as you like.”
So it was.
It is for this reason that Wang Shikong, who had hardened his face in an instant, made an absurd expression upon hearing Limon’s continued words.
“Are you serious?”
Why would they give up the opportunity to gain their support?
When he asked as if he didn’t understand at all, Limon spoke calmly.
“It is your right to pay for the blood of your blood relatives. You don’t have to engage in trivia like deals to do the obvious.”
“…”
Blood is a noble thing.
Cruel and outrageous revenge that washes blood with blood is therefore more valuable only when it is more pure.
An anachronistic figure who calmly tells stories that any modern person would argue are immoral.
However, in order to actually collect the blood of his subordinates, the sword master put aside all gains and losses and overturned the country and confronted the monarch.
Should Limon be regarded as the world’s fool?
Or should I just look at it as an idiot?
Wandering between the two answers, Wang Shikong finally bowed quietly.
“I will never forget the grace given to me by the head of the Shanghai royal family, the swordsmith Wang Feng.”
“What a grace. Don’t worry, I just handed over the work in moderation while I was busy.”
Limon turned around with a grin.
And as I was about to take a step, I opened my mouth as if I had just remembered.
“Oh, and this is not meddling, just talking to myself…” “
…?”
“There are three culprits.”
“…!”
The king’s eyes flashed.
Even the tracers who were called in for investigation knew that there were a small number of culprits, but they didn’t know the exact number yet.
But Limon’s words were not over yet.
“If you look at their hands, they are likely to be criminals skilled in murder, especially duke-level players with a history of genocide.”
“It must be a woman over 170 and two men under 180.”
“Looking at the pattern of movement together, it seems that the female is close-type and the other two are special-type and remote-type.”
“If you can, you’ll get quick results if you find a maniac who is a former soldier or has undergone military training.”
At first, the sharp eyes of the king’s eyes gradually became strange as Limon continued to speak, and then turned to bewilderment.
It was because Limon’s explanation was so detailed that it was as if he had witnessed the culprit himself.
“How do you know that?”
“You know when you see it.”
Limon laughed.
Then he moved on again and spoke quietly.
“You mean ‘this is what I’ve been doing all my life.'”
Looking at the back of Limon, who quickly left the seat after leaving only those words, Wang Shil-sik realized anew.
That gray-haired man is mankind’s last sword master.
He is an unsung hero who has saved the world the most times in history, and at the same time he is a swordsman who has cut the most people in history.
“…The princess also made a really scary person her sire.”
