In Manhattan, New York. The mysterious terrorist attacks in New York where the major broadcast stations were gathered were continuing to happen.
[Breaking news. There was a suspicious explosion at 11am at the ABC stationâŠâŠ]
[Mysterious monsters were appearing all over the buildingâŠ]
Bang! Bang!
âAhhhhhhhh!â
There was chaos all around Manhattan.
Buildings were being destroyed and things like large birds or lions were appearing all around them.
âIs it another terrorist incident?â
People were disgusted.
âThose damn terrorist bastards! Theyâre going crazy after getting their hands on some artifacts!â
That was right. People believed that this was the work of terrorists. It was because there were some terrorist organizations that had been quite active lately.
There were three extremely famous terrorist organizations. One of them had been quite strong for a while, the Middle East IS-related group with the Monarch of Evangelism at the center. The other was the group that looked like an NGO but was actually the anti-artifact group Noah.
They were the hunters who wanted to get rid of artifacts and artifact users to return the world to how it used to be.
The Monarch of Healing was with them and Chloe had been a part of this supposed Anti Terrorist group in the past as well.
The third was a group that was growing at a scary pace.
People were thinking that this third terrorist organization was responsible for all of these attacks.
The truth was that it was actually Kwon Hyuk Soo's subordinates and not any of those terrorist organizations.
Boom! Boom!
âAaah!â
People screamed and started to run to dodge the falling debris.
âPandora! What is Pandora's army doing?!â
âNothing! Apparently the army canât even get close!â
âWhat?!â
It seemed that Kwon Hyuk Sooâs subordinates were planning on continuing these terrorist attacks on the broadcast stations even if it cost them their lives.
âThereâs no way there will be thirty different Monarchâs Tombs!â
âSeo Ju-Heon is committing a scam with the Monarch of Fate!â
âWe must find the real tomb!â
They believed that the Monarch of Fate was providing false information because he was captured by Seo Ju-Heon.
They were doing all of this to find the Monarch of Fate.
The Monarch of Fate was supposed to be on a show again today.
âHurry up and find him!â
Sadly, they had no idea where the Monarch of Fate was being held captive.
But they didn't worry about it too much.
Parents always look for their children first if their house catches on fire.
They believed Ju-Heon would definitely go to find the Monarch of Fate if they continued with these attacks.
Kwon Hyuk Soo's subordinates charged into the broadcast station again with that thought on their minds.
This was their assault team.
"Find the Monarch of Fate!â
They were thinking that Ju-Heon made a mistake to bring the Monarch of Fate to the station.
That wasnât all.
âTake down this damn station too. How dare they allow Seo Ju-Heon to put on such a shitty program.â
âFuck the PD over too! Hurt all of them! Make an example out of them to show the world what happens when you help Seo Ju-Heon!â
âYeah! Letâs make it so nobody will dream of helping him ever again!â
Bang! Bang!
They continued to summon monsters to terrorize the station. Their artifacts must be related to ancient shamans.
The PDs who were with Ju-Heon were becoming frantic now.
âMr. Seo Ju-Heon., hurry! Hurry up and run!â
âAaah! The exits are sealed!â
Ju-Heon used his artifacts to help people evacuate. Seol-A, who had been evacuating people, started to shout.
âWhat should we do? They are openly committing terrorism because they know they have a good aftermath clean-up crew!â
âWow, theyâre acting like this because they think they can just have those sons of bitches fix things afterwards?â
âThose bastards are probably thinking about turning you into the culprit, Captain-nim!â
Seol-A was correct.
The terrorists were laughing in a room somewhere. They would rescue the Monarch of Fate and then push the blame for everything on Ju-Heon.
All they had to do was tamper with the evidence, modify the investigatorsâ memories and then make a run for it.
HoweverâŠ
âThey can only do that if it is possible.â
âE, excuse me?â
Ju-Heon started to laugh maniacally.
His Dominance that was strong enough to chew those bastards up was activated.
Bang! Ruuuuuumble, bang!
The intruders became anxious as the building suddenly started to shake.
It was great that they barged in to find the Monarch of Fate, howeverâŠâŠ
âOmo, oppa!â
âRest here for a bit!â
They entered the building to find a Field of Debauchery. Beautiful women started to seduce Kwon Hyuk Soo's subordinates.
âOh my. Where do you think youâre going, sir?â
These women were all naked.
âMy dearest hubby, I'm so lonely.â
The men started to lose their minds one by one.
âAhhh, ahhhh. I, if you keep doing thatâŠâ
They couldnât remember anything once the women who were throwing themselves on them started to moan.
The womenâs soft white hands started to slowly run up their legs and then they completely lost it.
âFuck!â
They quickly stripped naked and jumped the women.
âKyaaaa!â
But it only lasted for a moment.
âAaaaaaaaaak!â
âAhhh! What the?!â
They started to scream once the women's faces started to melt away.
The liquid dripping from the melted skin melted the men's skin as if it was hydrochloric acid.
âAaah!"
âMy arm, my aaaaaaaarm!â
The amorous Daji started to laugh seductively as she watched.
[Stupid human bastards. We only give ourselves to our master.]
She then called someone over as if she was calling a puppy.
[Come here boy. I took care of things here. Go take pictures of those humans going wild in the hallway.]
âHoâŠâŠâ
Yoo Jaeha gasped while holding a camera.
Why the hell did he have to take something like this again?
Yoo Jaeha sobbed while taking pictures of the evacuating actresses and the naked terrorists chasing after them.
They should be able to have some fun if they sent this to the press and informed them these were Kwon Hyuk Sooâs subordinates.
Click click!
That wasn't all. Daji wasnât Ju-Heonâs only artifact having fun in the station.
[#$$&!]
Hooray! Kill all humans!
[$#$#u!]
Take it off! Take it all off!
The Silver Axe was running around chasing after only the female terrorists while Nero was creating art with flames to annoy the humans.
There were also the pharaoh artifacts that considered humans to be slaves and even the wealth extracting worm.
All sorts of artifacts were causing commotion throughout the building.
The inside had long since turned into a terrible dungeon with monsters that enjoyed torturing humans. Although all of them could only whimper in front of Ju-Heon, they were all actually amazing artifacts.
That was why forget saving him, the terrorists couldn't even get close to the Monarch of Fate.
And after a whileâŠ
âUgh!â
Kwon Hyuk Sooâs subordinates were dragged over to Ju-Heon. They were whipped by the rope on their way here and started to grind their teeth once they saw Ju-Heon.
"Seo Ju-Heon, you son of a bitch!â
Yoo Jaeha smiled brightly as he looked at them.
âWelcome, we were lacking some helpers since all of the staff evacuated, so this is perfect.â
They couldn't believe it.
âHey, do you really think you guys will be okay after this?!â
There were some people from the Assault team and some from the aftermath clean-up crew.
The assault team only had buff dudes but the aftermath clean-up crew had a lot of people who looked like regular office workers.
They started to smile while looking at Ju-Heonâs group.
âIt doesnât matter what you guys do.â
Although they were captured, they had something they were relying on to save them. It was Ilya.
Although they haven't heard anything from him, the fact that they couldn't contact Ilya was proof that he was doing his part of the plan.
âCaptain Ilya should be somewhere in the station after receiving orders from the Chairman-nim as well.â
âYou got that? Ilya-nim will soonâŠâŠâ
It was at that moment.
âI will what?â
â?!â
Their faces lit up after hearing a sudden voice.
Why?
It was because Ilya appeared in front of them.
âIlya! You!â
âCaptain!â
They were extremely happy to see him appear.
"Captain, you were already here!â
They looked as if they were soldiers who had met a hero in battle.
How could they not feel this way?
âIlya is the strongest of all of the elites.â
They were all A or S-Grade artifact users as well, but Ilya was a Monarch. He was much more reliable.
âWe can turn the tide now.â
They bowed their heads to Ilya.
âI'm sorry sir! We had to make the first move because we couldn't contact youâŠâŠ!â
They then looked toward Seo Ju-Heon and started to smile.
âCaptain-nimâs devil can capture Seo Ju-HeonâŠ!â
âWe will then quickly take care of things here and bolt.â
They exchanged glances and started to throw their bodies.
âWe will create an opening for Ilya!â
They struggled but managed to surround Ju-Heon. They then tried to push him down.
âCaptain Ilya!â
âNow!â
Ju-Heon looked toward them wondering what the hell they were doing as they continued to shout toward Ilya with urgency.
âPlease take care of this bastard while we have him downâŠ!â
"Captain, hurry!â
âFulfill the Chairman-nimâs orders! Kill these bastards! Turn them into terroristsâŠ!â
âHey retards, what the hell are you doing?â
â?!â
Ilya said something shocking with his arms crossed.
They became flustered.
âI, Ilya?â
âI guess our dumbasses are slow to receive the news.â
They felt as if their minds had been blown.
âU, umm. Captain Ilya?â
Ilya clutched his stomach and laughed for a bit before putting on a bright smile.
"Well, don't worry. You wonât die.â
âE, excuse me?â
They wanted to ask what he was talking about.
They then felt an ominous aura and turned their heads.
They looked up at Ju-Heon they were holding down and his gazeâŠâŠ
âHey. Get the hell off of me.â
Flashed like the eyes of the devil.
While that was going onâŠ
âEat shit.â
Kwon Hyuk Soo was shaking after receiving Ilya's letter in the afterlife.
âThis is definitely from Seo Ju-Heon.â
He had no proof that Ju-Heon had sent this letter.
However, he was thinking that only Osiris's master could send a letter like this to the afterlife.
But it was Ilyaâs devil that had brought this letter over.
âDid Ju-Heon take away his devil artifact? Or did that bastard really end up jumping ship to work for Seo Ju-Heon?â
As he was about to send a telepathic message to figure out what was going onâŠ
[Chairman-nim! Something bad has happened!]
One of the connected subordinates quickly started to speak.
He was part of the aftermath clean-up crew that was sent to take down the station.
[Captain Ilya betrayed us!]
[Heâs with Seo Ju-Heon now!]
âThis bastard.â
Kwon Hyuk Soo laughed in disbelief.
âHow dare he forget his master who raised him and bare his fangs at me. Well, itâs fine for now.â
He would punish Ilya and thoroughly retrain him once he got out.
Ilya wasn't the only ace up his sleeve. There were many hidden subordinates Kwon Hyuk Soo could use.
âIf thatâs how you want to play it, I will personally hunt the weakest rabbit first.â
[Can you hear me?]
His direct attack on Seo Ju-Heon and his team had started.
âYes, Chairman-nim. I will do as you ordered.â
There was a group of people observing something from an alley. They were Chairman Kwon Hyuk Sooâs personal subordinates, similar to how Ilya had been.
They were starting to make a move after receiving telepathic communication from an angry Kwon Hyuk Soo.
âWe hired some gangs to come with us as well. We will do as you ordered, sir.â
They were looking at a butcher shop.
It was where Dan was with his daughter.
âCan we really proceed as the Chairman-nim ordered?â
âWe heard he was one of Seo Ju-Heon's team membersâŠâ
âThat bastard doesn't know how to use artifacts.â
He then gave the gangs a signal.
It was because they knew that they would be punished under Pandoraâs laws if they used artifacts against a civilian. That was why they had hired the gangs.
The gangs that had received a ton of money entered into the alley.
They were heading for Danâs butcher shop.
Danâs daughter was inside the shop.
âWelcoâŠâŠâ
Soo-A warmly welcomed them but the scary looking men pulling out knives turned her completely pale.
âK, kya! Daddy!â
They didn't care and yanked little Soo-A from the counter.
âOh, cute little lady. Stay with mister for a moment, okay?â
The customers gasped and quickly ran away.
âKyaaaa! Why is a gang over here?!â
âReport them!â
They didn't seem to care and started to kick some things around before approaching the young employee.
âWho told you that you can run a business here? Huh? Did you pay for our protection?â
âP, please stop!â
âCall your boss! Where the hell is your boss?!â
It was at that moment.
"What is going on?!â
Dan, who had been butchering a pig that he had just received farther in the shop, rushed out.
The gang members started to speak once he showed up, as if they had been waiting for him.
âOh, so youâre the boss?â
They slowly walked over and pointed an artifact dagger at Dan.
âHey rabbit. Come with us while we are asking nicely. Thereâs someone waitiâŠâŠâ
But at that momentâŠ
âDid these morons go crazy?â
âWhat?â
Thud!
âUgh!â
The gang member was sent flying after being punched by Dan's sturdy fist. He even dropped the artifact dagger.
They gasped and looked toward Dan.
âHey! Are you crazy?!â
âT, that son of a bitch!â
The others activated their artifacts and started to shout.
âFuck him up!â
However, at that momentâŠ
Dan, who had picked the dagger up from the ground, started to speak in anger.
âHey.â
â?â
âHave you ever heard the sound of a pig being slaughtered?â
