Chapter 312: Artifact Tears 4

The team members almost fainted after hearing what Ju-Heon just said .

‘What the hell did he just say?!

Is he planning on teaming up with Kwon Hyuk Soo?’

Their minds were blown .

It was to be expected . Kwon Hyuk Soo was one of the people supporting and protecting TKBM, as well as Chairman Kwon’s complete ally . He was also a major player in the artifact game as one of the Four Emperors .

Basically, he was their enemy through and through .

Ilya, who had betrayed Kwon Hyuk Soo to join them, was especially going out of his mind .

Was Ju-Heon telling him to die? Could that be it?

“Captain, tell me if you have any problems with me!”

Kwon Hyuk Soo was glaring at Ju-Heon .

“Do you know what you are saying right now?”

“Of course . I’m telling you to feed that so-called sibling love to the dogs . ”

“Hooo, are you crazy? You tricked me and even took away my precious disciple . ”

Ju-Heon smiled mischievously .

“You might be able to meet that precious disciple again if you work with me . ”

Ilya started to beg for his life after hearing that .

“Captain! I, I’m sorry! What do you need me to do? Cleaning? Laundry? Or maybe you want me to go find you a Divine-Grade artifact?”

The arrogant and annoying Ilya was rarely begging for his life like this . Ju-Heon ignored him and continued chatting with Kwon Hyuk Soo .

“This shouldn’t be a bad deal for you . I’m sure you are curious about information regarding the future as well . ”

The team members gulped after seeing Ju-Heon shake the Raven’s Tears around . Ju-Heon was doing a dangerous gamble right now .

‘But still, the Raven’s Tears?’

“Captain, are you really thinking about restoring Kwon Hyuk Soo’s memories……?!”

Kwon Hyuk Soo was one of the Four Emperors in the past .

Him getting his memories back would mean the birth of an extremely strong enemy . Or was he trying to scam him as usual? They knew that Kwon Hyuk Soo was not someone who would fall for such a scam .

“Captain, what the hell are you thinking?!”

Surprisingly, Julian was the only one who was not trying to stop Ju-Heon .

“Actually, this might be a good decision . ”

“Excuse me?!”

The rest of the team gasped but Julian meant it .

Why?

‘Kwon Hyuk Soo was definitely an enemy but he had a pretty favorable impression of Ju-Heon . ’

That was right . Kwon Hyuk Soo was very strong . He also had an extremely favorable view of Ju-Heon in the past . In fact, Kwon Hyuk Soo wanted to take Ju-Heon as his number one disciple .

Although he only taught Ju-Heon for a short period of time, he desired and cherished Ju-Heon who was extremely talented . Kwon Hyuk Soo hated Chairman Kwon for taking Ju-Heon away so that he could not be his number one disciple .

But if you asked if he was a good person, he was definitely not a good person .

Anyway, he was not someone who would kill Ju-Heon . He might even help Ju-Heon if they somehow managed to convince him .

‘The problem is that his feelings are all just from the past life . ’

In this life, Ju-Heon was the person who took Ilya away, threw him into the underworld, and caused him all sorts of anguish . That was the reason the Raven’s Tears would be a gamble .

But there was a different thought going on in Ju-Heon’s mind .

‘I know a lot about this guy . ’

And…

‘I need this old bat’s memories . ’

Ju-Heon wanted Kwon Hyuk Soo’s memories more than anything else .

Why?

‘What the hell did you do to my sister?!’

George had called him this morning . George told him that Irene was bawling her eyes out .

She kept grabbing onto her family members and crying and crying some more saying that Ju-Heon was dead .

Ju-Heon had realized something after hearing George explain the situation a bit more .

‘She got a portion of her past memories back . ’

Oh Seung Woo had informed him about her clash with Zhen Cai Yuan in his hotel room . The copy he left in the room probably worked to a degree .

It helped him understand the extent of the copy’s abilities .

And most importantly…

‘All of the monopolizers killed Mr . Ju-Heon . ’

‘They wanted to stop Mr . Ju-Heon from getting to that position . ’

Irene then said she had no right to face Ju-Heon and just cried in pain .

Irene’s comments had served as clues to help Ju-Heon make a deduction .

‘There’s definitely something . ’

There was a reason they had to die . And although the chances were low, maybe she also……

No matter what, there was no way Kwon Hyuk Soo wouldn’t know about that . Furthermore, if this was chess, this bastard would at least be a rook or a knight .

He would be a very useful piece for Ju-Heon .

‘So hurry up and accept my offer . ’

“I’ll give you information about the future . You don’t want it?”

Kwon Hyuk Soo started to frown .

‘Like hell I don’t want it . ’

Chairman Kwon had been able to know so much about the artifact of avarice from that artifact Yang Chen had brought! But Chairman Kwon still failed to excavate that tomb .

He wouldn’t have made such stupid mistakes if he had that information!

‘If I was the one who got that information!’

He believed he was better suited for such information than Chairman Kwon .

But his so-called hyung-nim was trying to monopolize that information for himself!

It took everything Kwon Hyuk Soo had to shake his head .

‘No . I accepted him as my hyung-nim, I can’t betray him first . ’

This was when Ju-Heon stabbed the final dagger .

“Your daughter… She seems very close to Chairman Kwon . ”

“What?”

“Even if he cheated to move his Achilles’s Heel, do you really think he would have been able to move it to a random person?”

Kwon Hyuk Soo’s pupils started to shake wildly .

“W, wait……”

Jaeha interjected at that moment .

“I saw them . I saw Chairman Kwon and Kwon Sae Yeon coming out of a motel together . ”

“?!”

Kwon Hyuk Soo’s expression was quite the spectacle . He was not the only one who was shocked .

Julian gasped as well!

“Hey! How can you say such a disgusting thing……?!”

Ju-Heon smirked without caring about Julian’s reaction .

“I’m sure your daughter didn’t approach him because she lacked money…maybe Chairman Kwon seduced her with an artifact or something?”

“?!”

Seol-A interjected as well .

“There are plenty of stories about Chairman Kwon’s mistresses . Do you think there would be so many rumors if it wasn’t true?”

This trio sounded as if they had been working together to do things like this for a very long time .

Julian was getting angry thinking that such a story would never work since this was not some soap opera, but it worked quite well . Kwon Hyuk Soo’s face crumbled .

“My Sae Yeon, my Sae Yeon and hyung-nim… . . ”

Kwon Hyuk Soo’s eyes filled with murderous intent . He then instantly grabbed the artifact Ju-Heon was holding out for him .

‘!’

It had happened in an instant .

The Raven’s Tears crumbled as it activated .

He had taken the information he should have taken to Chairman Kwon for himself!

[The Copy of the Raven’s Tears (S-Grade) has activated . ]

[Small amounts of memories are starting to flow into the target’s mind . ]

Ju-Heon started to smile .

However, it was at that moment .

“Retrieve the Chairman-nim’s body!”

Enemies barged into the hotel .

This was TKBM and Pandora’s rescue team sent to recover Chairman Kwon’s body .

“Where the hell is the Chairman-nim’s body?!”

They pointed their guns at Ju-Heon and the others . These were extremely strong weapons that were guaranteed to hit currently in the shape of guns .

“Fire!”

The ‘bullets’ shot out toward Ju-Heon’s group . But at that moment…

Crunch!

“!”

The guns in their hands all broke .

There was a single slash through all of them and they fell to the ground in pieces .

These extremely strong weapons broke so easily, as if they were made of plastic . Kwon Hyuk Soo was the one who broke their weapons .

“I will fuck you up if you touch these bastards . ”

“C, Chairman-nim!”

They all gasped at Kwon Hyuk Soo’s actions .

“What is going on, sir?!”

This rescue team consisted of Kwon Hyuk Soo’s subordinates as well as Chairman Kwon’s subordinates . How could they not be shocked when their superior swung his sword at them?! Kwon Hyuk Soo smiled brightly as he responded .

“It’s fine, let’s just go home . ”

“Excuse me? But Chairman Kwon Tae Joon’s body is still……!”

“Ah, it’s fine . Seo Ju-Heon’s group was not here when we arrived . ”

The rescue team started to get rowdy .

“Seo Ju-Heon’s group is right there sir!”

“No, we didn’t see anything . Do you understand?”

The chuckling Kwon Hyuk Soo then stopped smiling .

“Take care of them if you understand . ”

“!”

There were screams coming from multiple directions . Kwon Hyuk Soo’s subordinates in the rescue team started to kill the others in the team!

Puuk! Puuk!

“U, ugh!”

The ones to die were all Chairman Kwon’s subordinates .

The rescue team that came to kill Ju-Heon’s team and retrieve Chairman Kwon’s body were all massacred .

It had happened in an instant .

The dying rescue team leader glared at Kwon Hyuk Soo .

‘Why……?!’

Kwon Hyuk Soo had a shameless smile on his face as he looked at Ju-Heon .

“Use this on hyung-nim’s body . ”

“!”

The item he threw was a teleportation artifact .

“After being there once, I can tell you that the underworld is dangerous because there is a way out . You should just send it into outer space if you want to send it off . ”

“!”

The rescue team leader almost fainted .

He finally realized what Kwon Hyuk Soo was thinking .

‘Fuck, he betrayed us!’

He needed to get this information to Chairman Kwon .

‘I need to hurry up and inform the Chairman-nim………!’

However…

Puuk!

A pillar shot up from the ground and pierced through his body .

There was a twisted smile on Kwon Hyuk Soo’s face .

At that moment…

“Chairman-nim! We heard that Chairman Kwon Hyuk Soo’s rescue team has returned!”

“Oh, really? They’re back?!”

Chairman Kwon’s face lit up .

“Did they bring my body back?!”

Yoon Shi Woo’s face looked weird as he listened to the phone .

“Uhh……but they didn’t bring your body, Chairman-nim……and apparently there were almost no survivors…”

“What?!”

He shouted, as if telling Yoon Shi Woo to hand the phone over to him . He was able to chat with Kwon Hyuk Soo thanks to his subordinates helping him .

He shouted as soon as he got on the phone .

“What the hell happened?! Where is my body?!”

[Ah, hyung-nim, I’m really sorry . ]

“What?! What the hell happened with even you over there?! Where is my body?!”

[No, you see… Apparently he sent your body to outer space! What can I do about that? Haha . ]

“What?!”

[Even I can’t go to space to get it . I hope you understand . ]

Chairman Kwon started to grind his teeth .

‘Outer space my ass . ’

“You better not have any weird intentions . The Achilles’s Heel……”

[Aigoo, hyung-nim . I don’t care about something like that at all . Do you really not trust your dongsaeng at all? You know how much I care about you, hyung-nim . I wouldn’t get upset over something so trivial . ]

“………… . ”

[Well, don’t worry . I’ll do what I can to make sure you don’t die, hyung-nim . ]

Kwon Hyuk Soo smirked as soon as he hung up the phone .

‘You motherfucking old bastard . ’

Actually, Kwon Hyuk Soo originally had no plans to do something like this . However, there was a critical memory that helped make his decision .

It was an assassination attempt .

‘How dare you use my daughter . ’

Kwon Hyuk Soo’s daughter really was Chairman Kwon’s mistress . Chairman Kwon had seduced her to use her to steal Kwon Hyuk Soo’s artifacts .

‘But still, how dare he touch my precious daughter . ’

He couldn’t help but feel betrayed .

Kwon Hyuk Soo was one of the Four Emperors in the past . He had handed that position over to Chairman Kwon without asking for anything back due to their sibling relationship .

It’d be one thing if he had betrayed Chairman Kwon, but the current Chairman Kwon was wary of him despite his undying loyalty . Chairman Kwon was even trying to monopolize information about the future right now, thinking that Kwon Hyuk Soo might try to rise to the Monarch among Monarchs position .

Chairman Kwon was the first to betray him in Kwon Hyuk Soo’s mind . How could he not be angry?

“I am the Supreme Leader of TKBM starting today . ”

He had told Ju-Heon not to kill Chairman Kwon just yet .

Why?

“It’d be bad if he dies right now . We need to fix his will first . Ah, should I put Ju-Heon’s name in there since things ended up like this?”

He made a call while looking as if he was amused .

Down at the LA international airport…

Ju-Heon’s team still looked baffled as they got on a plane for New York .

“What the hell just happened?”

Wasn’t it obvious?

“It was the birth of a traitor . ”

“!”

Julian and Ilya both looked shocked .

But the reason they were shocked was different .

“That person really betrayed Chairman Kwon?”

“Did he really believe that story about his daughter being a mistress?”

Ju-Heon started to laugh out loud .

He expected Kwon Hyuk Soo to act like this .

The Kwon Hyuk Soo that Ju-Heon knew would be extremely angry about such loyalty stomping acts . Kwon Hyuk Soo cared more about loyalty than Chairman Kwon did .

Well, it seemed beneficial since Kwon Hyuk Soo only got good memories, but……

Ding .

[Ju-Heon . Be my number one disciple . Be my number one disciple . Be my number one disciple!]

[I’ll even share TKBM’s rights of succession to you if you become my number one disciple!]

[Be my disciiiiiiiiiiiple!]

‘Tsk, it looks like he remembered some useless things too . ’

Ju-Heon blocked the number and got on the plane .

“Now that we got Achilles’s Armor, send everything to the Engineering Team . Tell them to use that to make some defensive outfits . ”

Jaeha gasped after hearing that .

‘Looks like I have more things to tell the fan club . ’

They’ll probably go crazy saying that they will be in charge of making the designs .

Ju-Heon got a text at that moment .

[Captain-nim, I figured out the thing you wanted to know . ]

It was Dan .
