Chapter 227: The one who cries because of their memories (4)

“Let me confirm something first . ”

“………!”

"Do you remember me?”

Yang Chen plopped down after seeing Ju-Heon’s smile .

“Ah…… ah . ”

It was because his face overlapped with the face of the Ju-Heon in his thirties .

Seo Ju-Heon .

People had thought that he was a druggie, but he was actually Chairman Kwon's king maker and mighty hunting dog that took care of the Four Emperors on the Chairman's behalf .

He was also the leader that Yang Chen himself had gotten killed .

Yang Chen's limbs started to shake once he acknowledged that fact .

His whole body was now shaking as he started to mumble while looking at Ju-Heon .

"C, Captain…n…”

Ju-Heon had a vicious smile after hearing Yang Chen's mumbling .

What he just heard was enough to know .

Ju-Heon then stepped on Yang Chen’s neck .

“Ugh!”

Yang Chen couldn't breathe after having his neck suddenly being stepped on, but he could not escape .

It was because the vicious voice that reached his ears seemed to paralyze his spine .

“Oho, you do seem to remember . ”

It was a level of murderous intent he had never seen before .

Was it that Ju-Heon had just been hiding this murderous intent until now?

His Dominance had channeled out at full force as soon as Yang Chen recognized him .

Yang Chen started to shout out of instinct after seeing Ju-Heon like this .

“Captain-nim, I'm sorry . I didn't want to do it………ugh!”

“Shut up and only answer the questions I ask . ”

Ju-Heon started to speak with a vicious gaze that looked as if he wanted to kill Yang Chen .

“First . Tell me your damn Monarch title . ”

Yang Chen would normally wonder why he had to respond to Ju-Heon, but it was different now .

He felt as if he was going to die .

He felt as if Ju-Heon would really butcher him like he saw in the picture if he didn’t respond .

"The Sun, the Monarch of the Sun . ”

“Second . Tell me the artifact the Monarch of Healing had on her . Oh, and the location of the tomb they possess too . ”

‘………T, the Monarch of Healing's artifact? Tomb?”

Ju-Heon started to smile after hearing that confused response .

He had been testing how much information this bastard knew, but…

“Thankfully, it doesn't look as if he remembers the important information of the future . ’

He remembered just enough to remember the members of the tomb raiding team .

‘Good . ’

Of course, the team members who came with Ju-Heon were showing different reactions .

“Captain-nim! Let's kill this son of a bitch . ”

“We can't let someone with information go!”

Seol-A and Chloe were the ones who had shouted . Ju-Heon agreed with them .

He had no plans on leaving the sly bastard who had pushed his precious subordinates to their deaths alone .

He just had a few things he was curious about .

‘TKBM’s secrets . ’

And……

"W, what?! What is going on?”

‘Yoo Jaeha, the Monarch of Fraud . ’

Yoo Jaeha looked toward Yang Chen who was flustered as he did not understand the situation at all .

‘The only one of us who managed to survive . ’

He should know what happened after all of them had died .

He was curious about that but he had not restored Jaeha’s memories because it was annoying .

It would be annoying to retrain a bastard who would easily sell off even his fellow team members .

He also didn't want Jaeha to remember his days as a copycat .

But something must have happened once they died .

And it must have been related to their deaths .

‘He has important information . ’

He had information they didn't know about .

Yang Chen foamed at the mouth once he saw Yoo Jaeha .

“You damn scamming son of a bitch!”

"W, what did you say?! Who are you calling a scammer?! What the fuck is this son of a bitch talking about?!”

Yang Chen continued to shout as if he felt wronged .

“Do you know how much TKBM suffered because of you……?!”

“?”

Yoo Jaeha looked toward Ju-Heon, wondering what nonsense Yang Chen was talking about .

“Wait, what the hell did I do to TKBM…… No, I guess there are some things… I did act as a black consumer because I hated TKBM, but…… Who cares about that?! Why?!”

Yoo Jaeha started to get angry, wondering if the black consumer incident was the reason Yang Chen was causing a fuss .

“Are you acting like this because I did some black consumer business? Be honest with me, there’s no way a global corporation like yours suffered because of some negative complaint! Huh?!”

Yang Chen felt frustrated .

“That’s not what I am talking about, you idiot!”

Yang Chen subconsciously got angry while still confused about his past life and the present as Ju-Heon peeked toward Yoo Jaeha .

He had not thought about what would have happened to this bastard after they died .

Why?

It was because he expected this bastard to find a way to stick with Chairman Kwon and live a happy life .

It was not that he was angry about that; this guy was just that kind of terrible materialistic bastard . He had not joined their tomb raiding team because he wanted to in the first place .

He didn't try to get close to any of the tomb raiding team members .

‘But getting revenge?’

There was also the talk about TKBM's secrets .

Yang Chen seemed to have realized his mistake after seeing Ju-Heon's gaze .

He had shouted out loud because he saw Yoo Jaeha while the memories of the past memories were still fresh on his mind, but……

‘No . This is top secret information . It involves the other Monarchs as well . ’

He didn't know for sure, but it wasn’t just an issue of his past life .

These TKBM secrets were deeply connected with the current Monarchs as well . That was why it would be terrible if Ju-Heon wanted to find out about it .

‘I need to change topics . ’

Maybe that was the reason .

Yang Chen quickly came up with an idea and urgently started to shout .

“I'm sorry sir! I've committed a grave sin, sir! However!”

He shouted whatever came to his mind .

“To be honest with you, I'm not the only one who betrayed you at that time, Captain-nim!”

His eyes opened wide as he quickly turned toward Yoo Jaeha .

“That bastard! That bastard betrayed you too!”

The team members became shocked while Ju-Heon started to frown .

“Don't put Jaeha on the team . ”

It was probably right after Julian got his memories back through the Raven’s artifact .

Julian had said the following to Ju-Heon .

“I agree that Jaeha is talented . But I am against having him as one of our team members again . ”

Julian had not looked very happy .

Why?

Julian did not trust the Monarch of Fraud .

It was obvious that Yoo Jaeha would have a bad relationship with Julian who worked as an appraiser with Zhuge Kongming's artifact .

It was the relationship between an appraiser and a scammer .

Furthermore…

‘This is just my hypothesis, but…’

Julian had stealthily told Ju-Heon after he had recovered his memories .

‘I don’t think that Yang Chen was the only one to betray us . ’

He believed that Yoo Jaeha had betrayed them as well .

There was a simple explanation .

‘The artifacts we had on us at that time… None of them were fully restored . ’

That was true .

The artifacts Jaeha had given them while saying they were fully restored only had about half of their durability .

They broke easily as well .

That was why they couldn't fight at full power after just a short time inside the tomb .

‘He always took care of our artifacts . It wouldn't be hard for him to mess with them . ’

‘Hey . Kongming . ’

‘That’s not all . Jaeha was the only one who didn’t come into the tomb with us . He said he was sick . ’

‘He always said that though . ’

Julian ended by saying one more thing .

‘There’s also Chloe's chart artifact that had our data on them . Don't you remember Yoo Jaeha stealing it a few weeks before we went into the final tomb?’

There had been a time when Chloe’s examination records had been replaced with a copy .

In that case, what would have happened with the original?

‘It’s obvious . He claimed that he was pulling a prank to see if Chloe realized it, but he probably handed our data over to those bastards that wanted to kill us . ’

Returning to the present…

Julian had the same look as that time as he looked at Yoo Jaeha .

“Yoo Jaeha was also a traitor?”

Julian’s gaze looked much more agitated than usual .

The proof was the thunderbolts crackling around him .

Indra's artifact was responding to the user’s emotions .

“That bastard really was a traitor too . ”

Seol-A was shocked after hearing Julian’s vicious tone .

“P, please wait! Vice Captain-nim! Are you really trusting what Yang Chen is saying……?!”

“No . You guys know it as well! There was a lot of circumstantial evidence that made me believe that!”

“T, that……!”

Seol-A shook her head . She always bickered with Yoo Jaeha until their faces became red as if they were bitter enemies, but she had treated him as her friend .

Although he would frequently cast them aside and run away, she just thought that that was his personality .

“There’s no way Jaeha really betrayed us…!”

“You guys might not know it, but our restorer didn't come into that tomb with us . ”

“Vice Captain-nim!”

He knew that the Yoo Jaeha that came into the tomb was fake because he was using Zhuge Kongming’s artifact .

As the Vice Captain and as someone who cherished and trusted his teammates more than anybody else, he loathed those traitors .

That was why he was extremely angry right now!

“Seo Ju-Heon . You know it too! You know that Yoo Jaeha was suspicious! You're just staying quiet because there’s no proof and you are greedy for his abilities!”

“Vice Captain-nim!”

Yoo Jaeha was extremely flustered right now .

‘What are these people talking about right now?’

“Wait, excuse me . I know you guys always talk about some weird life on the moon without me all the time, but I really can't keep up with this one . A traitor? Do you know how hard I've been working to restore Captain-nim’s artifacts?! I feel wronged!”

But thunderbolts struck down regardless of what he was saying .

Boom!

Then Julian’s eyes flashed .

“Let's kill them half way and restore their memories . Then once their sins are confirmed……!”

His thunderbolts were about to strike down on Yang Chen and Yoo Jaeha .

Yoo Jaeha and Yang Chen screamed at the same time in response .

“Wait, Captain-nim! Captain-nim! Eek! Please save me!”

Yoo Jaeha, who had no idea what was going on, plopped down on the ground and started to scream while Seol-A became anxious .

“Vice Captain-nim!”

Julian’s strength and Dominance was quite strong as he was a Monarch as well .

Babababang!

As his thunderbolts started to strike down on Yang Chen and Yoo Jaeha…

Bang!

Ju-Heon's artifact gobbled up Julian's artifact .

“!”

Set's artifact started to viciously suppress Julian’s artifact .

“U, ugh!”

That wasn't all .

[Osiris is summoning hell's Book of the Dead . ]

[Julian Miller's name is being written inside . ]

[Preparations for judgment have begun . ]

Julian started to scream as Ju-Heon read that message .

Steel rods suddenly fell from the sky and he ended up captured inside a suspicious cell .

His Dominance instantly fell once he was captured .

Julian looked flustered as he looked at Ju-Heon .

“Hey! What the hell are you doing?!”

“It’s fine so calm yourself and prevent your artifacts from going berserk . ”

“What? Hold……!”

“Shut the hell up . That is an order from your Captain . ”

“………!”

Julian flinched after seeing Ju-Heon’s cold gaze .

Ju-Heon clicked his tongue .

He understood that Julian lost his rationality because he was fired up with his desire for revenge, but…

“I agree with punishing the traitors . I also agree with restoring their memories and forcing them to tell us information we don't know about . However…”

He roughly pulled Yang Chen by the hair .

“Hey Kongming . Information about the future is very precious . ”

That was why he only restored the memories of people he trusted as well .

He would have to be crazy to let these bastards know about the future .

‘This is not the time to restore their memories . ’

The moment he achieved everything he wanted…

He would use the artifact on Chairman Kwon and these traitors at that time .

Then he would watch them frown .

Julian asked Ju-Heon a question .

“Then how the hell are you going to drag information out of them?!”

“First . ”

Ju-Heon flicked his finger and Chloe approached them and grabbed Yang Chen’s shoulder .

Yang Chen glared at Chloe but……

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

Yang Chen screamed and coughed up some blood .

Yang Chen realized something was wrong . The Dominance in his body was slowly disappearing .

He was shaking as he glared at Ju-Heon and Chloe .

"W, what did you do to my body……?!”

What else would it be?

“Do you really not remember?”

“……!”

That was right .

‘Nurse of healing and punishment . ’

That was Chloe’s nickname .

She could heal risks and illnesses but she could also remember those risks and illnesses to return them to the person .

She had just done the same to Yang Chen .

Ju-Heon had a cold smile on his face as he looked at Yang Chen .

“That’s for lying to my face . You are now a D-Grade artifact user, you bastard . You can’t use any artifacts higher than C-Grade . Actually, you probably can't even use D-Grade artifacts properly . ”

Yang Chen quickly grabbed the key that was around Ju-Heon’s waist .

It was an A-Grade Consumable Artifact .

Nothing happened even after he channeled his Dominance into it .

He really couldn't use high-grade artifacts .

“Fuck, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!”

He shouted in anger and looked toward Ju-Heon as if he had been wronged .

“You can’t only punish me, sir . You should also punish that bastard……ugh!”

Yang Chen was stomped on by Ju-Heon .

Ju-Heon glared at Yang Chen as if he was ridiculous .

“Shut up . I'll cut your head off right now if you run your mouth any longer . ”

“………!”

Ju-Heon then peeked at Yoo Jaeha who started to shake in fear .

He didn’t know what they were talking about at all, but……

“Please hold on a minute . Captain-nim! I really don’t know anything! I don’t know what he is talking about……”

Ju-Heon then grabbed Yoo Jaeha by the collar .

“Don’t worry . I will be the one to decide that . ”

Ju-Heon then used an artifact .

It was an artifact to restore memories .
