Chapter 196: Chapter 24, Episode 6: Neo-psychopath
âKekeke!â Sun WooHyun cracked up, unable to hold back his laughter. The butler was an amazing person for calling Black Mamba a damn b*stard. On the other hand, it felt refreshing. A regular citizen must have felt this way when they watched a powerful person get chewed out as a criminal.
âThere is such a human. He is dull to the point that you would want to beat him up, but heâs not a damn b*stard. You should watch what you say about my master.â
Barongoâs heart lurched. Azraelâs warrior was a fearsome person who had decisively wiped out 50 armed guards and whipped a noble.
Two humans who used to swing their absolute power around were currently twitching like a caterpillar by his feet. How fearsome could his master be when the individual standing before him was already inhumane?
âI take back my words.â
âHehe. A man who doesnât understand the hearts of women is worth cursing at, for sure. Are there any other traitors that I need to take care of aside from the guards and vigilantes?â
His words reeked of bloodlust and iron. He looked like he would kill all the betrayers. Barongo glanced at the eastern man who kept on talking with an accent, then quickly lowered his head. His face was scary. There were horizontal knife scars across his face with holes like volcanic craters.
He hurriedly swallowed his thoughts, which had almost popped out of his mouth and stepped back.
âAll the traitors became vigilantes. That organization is the gathering place for all the trash that has betrayed my master for a few bucks. The guards were outsourced, hired by the small master. Theyâre rumored to be the remaining butchers from the FROLINATâs FAP.â
Sun WooHyun smiled in condescendence.
âDo you think all those murderers committed suicide by Pende Lake? Those b*stards are nothing but trash to me. The labor overseers were the guards and vigilantes, werenât they?â
âYes, the workers couldnât say a thing because those pieces of trash had threatened them with knives and guns. The workers are missing their benevolent master and waiting for the ladyâs return.â
Sun WooHyun silently laughed. That was impossible. Ten percent of an organization came from the immediate bandwagon, 80 percent out of self-preservation, and 10 percent from loyalty. Nickâs remaining cells had to be all over the place.
âIâll look into the details later. So, youâre saying there isnât a problem with controlling the workers, right?â
âWho would dare fight against you when youâve crushed the guards and vigilantes, Sir Warrior?â
The butler suddenly kicked Enduma, who was barely breathing.
âThis b*stardâs the one who had started the revolt with the small master. Heâs the person who had nailed our master on the cross. Please give us your benevolence to handle him ourselves.â Barongoâs eyes flashed dangerously with a hint of bloodlust.
Did this old man get contaminated by a violent disease?
Sun WooHyunâs mood turned sour. A difficult situation could occur if the violent disease kept spreading.
âI canât allow that. Only my master and Miss Edel have the right to take care of those b*stards. If they die, you will be held responsible.â
The butler moved away with a disappointed face.
âSir Warrior, what should we do about todayâs work?â
Sun WooHyun realized that there was an annoying second round of work to be done. Restating orders was harder compared to killing and breaking. The really difficult work had just begun.
âButler Barongo, do you know how many full-time workers are there on Samaria Farm?â
âThere are about 2,000 of them. A thousand three hundred eighty workers live and work on the farm, while 620 of them are nonnatives. Most of the workers live outside the farm after marriage. We also hire more temporary workers according to the workload, a minimum of 500 and 1,800 at the most.â
âWhat? So youâre saying there are over 3,800 people working on the farm, right?â
âYes, itâs currently harvesting season, so weâve added another 2,000 foreign laborers on the job.â
Sun WooHyunâs mouth fell open.
This was unimaginable. It would take some time for him to get used to it.
Samaria Farmâs scale was beyond his imagination. Three thousand eight hundred workers had impacted him more than the scale of 900,000,000 pyung.
âButler, gather all the farmworkers to the grass field.â
The butler picked up the megaphone.
The large grass field outside the house was filled with people by sunrise.
âSir Warrior, 1,360 have gathered out of the 1,380. Twenty of them are either injured or unable to move.â
âThey are the workers who are now unable to move after being beaten up by the vigilantes.â
Sun WooHyun nodded without saying a word. There was no reason to ask. Sun WooHyun had suppressed them with force after all. This was the land of barbarians where only the strongest survived.
A satisfied smile landed on Sun WooHyunâs face. The quick-witted butler had made a platform on the grass using a packaging box. Sun WooHyunâs small height was always a handicap. Sun WooHyun was more envious of Black Mambaâs height than his handsome face. He found the butler endearing.
Most of Chadâs cotton farms were plantations. They were operated by a European farm owner who hired locals. The locals were tortured with poor working conditions and harsh labor. The local workers were no less than slaves. There were no human rights to be seen.
Under Nickâs power, Samaria Farm had been more brutal. The gathering had begun once the morning dew disappeared. There had been no lunch or break time. Shouts and whipping had rained down every time someone tried to stretch. The labor had ended only when the darkness fell.
The workers who were starved all day and exploited for labor ate a lump of ugali[1] and fell asleep like the dead.
Samaria Farm was too large. Workers whose homes were near the battle woke in fear of the gunshots, but many werenât aware of the chaos that had happened during the dawn. The workers who had gathered on the field were chattering everywhere, exchanging information. There was nothing like a morning frog call.
Sun WooHyun was overwhelmed by the dark sea of people on the platform. He couldnât bear them all. He tentatively began to blame Wakil for his predicament.
Sun WooHyunâs warning was buried underneath all the voices.
Damn it, the cliffs shook, and the ground trembled when Wakil shouted. Iâm nothing compared to him.
When exhaustion caught up with him, the gunshots rang. The chattering stopped. Sun WooHyun turned to look at the butler. The butler was holding up a Lee-Enfield. Smoke was coming out of its barrel, which was pointed towards the sky. The butler smiled.
Was this the second version of Ombuti?
Sun WooHyun nodded. The butler held strong grudges and was quick-witted. He had also gone overboard. The actions he had taken until now were exactly like Ombutiâs.
Sun WooHyun gathered strength in his lower belly and shouted with pauses in between words, âSilence! I am Azraelâs warrior. All the guards and vigilantes were killed by my hands. I shoved the false farm owner, Nick, and the head of guards, Enduma, into prison.â
Surprised, the workers began to chatter once more. They couldnât believe that the farm owner and the head of guards were imprisoned. They couldnât believe that those evil b*stards were all dead. Their voices grew louder.
Sun WooHyun flapped his hand at the butler. The butler immediately handed him the Lee-Enfield.
âSilence! Those little sh*ts who open their traps from now onââ
Sun WooHyun raised the gun in the air and bashed it with the side of his hand.
The head of the Lee-Enfield and its connective parts fell apart in half.
âIâll turn you into this.â
A frightening silence pressed the field.
Sun WooHyun raised his voice.
âAs you all know, Nick Wayneright Edel is an evil man who killed his brother and stole the farm. I was ordered by Wakil to disorganize and kill his evil dogs and capture him. This was also by the request of Miss Edel. Miss Edel is currently acting out on a separate task as per Wakilâs request.â
âYeah! Weâre free!â
âThe missis is alive!â the workers shouted.
âWho is your master, Sir Warrior?â one of the workers bravely asked.
âMy master is someone called Azrael. The FROLINATâs FAP calls my master the Kanma.â
The workers began to murmur. Sun WooHyun was confused. How could they have known Black Mamba?
âSir Warrior, we are all Christians. There is no one here who doesnât know of Azraelâs fame. He killed all the Islam FAP rebels like rats.â
Butler Barongo raised both of his hands in the air and began leading the chant.
The workers shouted back as one.
âGod has sent us Azrael to save his tortured young sheep. We sing for his Grace to be upon us! Hallelujah!â
âAzrael is our shepherd! Hallelujah!â
âWe trust Azraelâs servant as we trust him. Hallelujah!â
âWe trust him! Hallelujah!â
Dawn was upon them. Hallelujahs filled the Samaria Farm out of nowhere.
Flabbergasted, Sun WooHyun stared at Barongo blankly. He was an old man who could steam those communist leaders for a meal. He had moved the workers at an opportune time. He had made Black Mamba their leader when he wasnât present and had given him the power.
Barongo raised his hands once more. Sun WooHyun was scared of the old manâs capabilities.
âBrothers, the farm owner, Nick, and the head of guards, Endumaâthe devils who have worked us to death and starved usâare now imprisoned. Azrael has taken back those evil menâs power!â
âHe has taken it all!â
âAzrael has sent us Godâs warrior to save our poor lambs!â
There couldnât be a better cult. When Barongo led the chant, hundreds and thousands of workers shouted back as one.
Were all Africans this smart?
The butler had a reflex and situational understanding that was comparable to Ombuti. Sun WooHyun began to worry. He felt as though he would be second to Barongo, as he was second to Ombuti.
What the hell? Wakil was fated to be a fortune teller after all, whether he liked it or not.
Sun WooHyun snorted. He remembered Jang Shin, who had once said that money would come by itself once Black Mamba wore a turban.
Muslims called the Angel of Death, Azrael (Az-ra-il), while Christians called it, Azrael (Az-ra-elle). Whatever the name, Black Mamba became an icon to both Muslims and Christians.
âDamn it. I suppose a human has to be perfect, first and foremost,â he thought.
He suddenly became sad. While one guy had earned followers a million miles away, some guy had to sweat blood and tears throughout the night, sweating over the control of workers.
âWhat should we call you, Sir Warrior?â the butler asked.
âTubilis, no, call me Namir.â
Sun WooHyunâs âIâm a dragonâ illness was acting up again.
âAzraelâs warrior is called Sir Namir. Hoorah for Sir Namir!â the butler shouted.
It was a communist-style forewarned propaganda. The more it progressed, the more ridiculous it became. The butler laid down the cushions before he could even start.
Was that butler a comrade politician who was trained in North Korea?
He truly began to doubt the man.
Sun WooHyun raised both of his hands. The crowd turned silent immediately.
âI, Namir, became Miss Edelâs representative on the orders of Azrael. Listen to my orders carefully from now on. I will give you all one hour. Create 14 organizations of 100 for each accommodation. Each organization will choose one representative, 11 in total. They will be known as the 10 member council. The 10 member council will then discuss among themselves and choose the Elder. Begin!â
Sun WooHyun was an intelligent man who had graduated from the Kang-Gun military school. He completely learned the falsities of socialism while being away from North Korea for five years. Socialism could be summarized as âSpeak not of the falsity but the truth instead.â
To ignore reality, they filled the place with illusions instead. In detail, it meant controlling the masses with force and surveillance. Humans werenât cows or horses. No one could continue living in an illusion when the reality was sh*t.
Samaria Farm was like a grenade thrown into a campfire. There were many underlying complaints. It wouldnât be surprising if a rebellion occurred.
Sun WooHyun decided to upheave the entire past order. In his view, Miss Edel was going to be Wakilâs woman. He had to change the entire farm system that Nick had created for the past seven years to make it Wakilâs farm.
Workers were impulsive and had never experienced creating a democratic council by themselves. The smart butler had to run back and forth advising people on what to do, drenched in sweat.
After more time had passed, the 10 member council and the Elder were finally selected.
âButler, arenât they all old people?â
Sun WooHyun was confused. The 10 member council werenât healthy, young men but older than middle-aged men.
âThey were threatened by violence and danger for the past seven years. They fear violence,â the quick-witted butler whispered in his ears.
The butler gathered the 10 member council representatives and the Elder below the platform.
âButler, bring the armband.â

It was a red armband with two white lines. He had made it in a hurry with the help of the housemaids and staff.
Sun WooHyun personally wrapped the band around the memberâs left arm. The red armband was one of the many North Korean methods used to control a cell organization. The armband lived up to its use as more people from the crowd became mesmerized.
