《Re:Direction The Peak (Cultivation Tale)》CH. 96

The two, no longer affected, were not in the mood to play around. Jin in particular was exasperated. He never fell for any honey trap before and didn't expect to nearly do so in this world. Min-Su was thinking of something else entirely. He was jealous of that technique. He wanted to learn it so badly.
Jin was the one to break the silence: "We won't help you" Yet before he could leave, the woman spoke: "Don't be like that~ At least, hear me out, okay? I apologize for startling you with my technique so, yeah, just listen for a moment?"
Jin was unfazed but Min-Su grabbed his shoulder. He had a serious look on his face as he told his junior: "We saw through her technique, there is no risks to listening" Jin had rarely seen him act like so. It made him slightly curious to see why. It was probably a dumb reason but if it wasn't...There were times when even the likes of Min-Su had genius moments.
Once Jin sat back down, Min-Su pushed himself slightly forward on the table and brought both hands together before telling the woman to explain further. The charm was dispelled but she remained attractive. Even though it was no longer forced, her beauty remained attractive to both guys. It was always easier to listen to someone that looked good. And she captured their attention once again: "Well~ Here's the thing~ There's a place in this city doing some ve~ry shady things. I am too scared and weak to go myself so I wondered if you two could help me. Simple as that"
Jin didn't find it simple. Not only that, he thought of it as overly suspicious. Why would a stranger look for them? They weren't that strong, they might even be weaker than her to be honest. So, why? He had no plans to help.

But he wasn't alone here. Min-Su asked her very seriously: "What do we get from helping you?"
The girl answered in a shy tone while blushing: "I w-would be w-willing to do anything"
Min-Su jumped on his seat as he nearly screamed: "Teach me that seducing technique!"
She certainly didn't expect that but it did make sense if you considered it. Men were always the same. As for her technique...It was a secret art and hereditary one. She wasn't supposed to teach it to any outsiders. Not because it had to remain secret but because they wouldn't be able to apply it correctly. And they would endanger themselves. Which is why it wasn't that it couldn't be spread but that spreading was the same as spreading a virus. So, she agreed immediately to Min-Su's demand.
The guy jumped around, fists pumped. Jin couldn't understand what went through that guy's mind. He stared straight at the girl and told her: "Have fun together, I'll be leaving"
She didn't expect that only one would agree. She needed both... Flustered, she tried to convince him to no avail. It was Min-Su who came to her rescue: "Jin. If you don't come, I will mess around the entire city pretending to be you"
Jin turned around quickly and glared at Min-Su: "You wouldn't dare"
Min-Su grinned: "Try me"
Moments later, a trio left the restaurant. The beauty was leading the pair of men towards a different place. It had been a blemish in her city for as long as she could remember. She hated that place and wanted it shut down. She had complained to many forces, even her mother, yet they all ignored her pleas. How could they consciously leave alone this kind of filthy shop! She couldn't tolerate it!
And she finally found a way to deal with them. Alone, she couldn't. Not that it was physically impossible, she trusted her strength. But politically. If she acted alone, the weight of her actions would come back to slap her and her mother. And her Mother would slap her even harder. That very mother who forbade her to do anything...

But now! If she roped in the disciples of Hae-Hyuk, who would dare say it was solely her fault? She was already considering herself a genius as she thought of her master plan.
As they arrived in front of a gigantic store called "Chromatic Abundance - 3rd Division", both Min-Su and Jin turned to her. This did not seem like the kind of establishment that had anything to do with shady business. It seemed like a very decent shop too. The transparent glass made it easy to see its insides. It seemed to be a simple place selling all kinds of incenses.
The stare from the two guys made her slightly embarrassed as she hurried to say: "What? Did you think bad guys would name themselves Thousand Devil Sects or something?"
Both Min-Su and Jin looked at each other and Min-Su voiced both of their thoughts: "She makes sense"
Jin nodded. What kind of idiots would name his organization 'devil sect' or 'monster lair' after all? It would be hunted down far too quickly. At least, chromatic abundance didn't seem to be something you would associate with nasty business.
Jin sighed as he told her: "So, what kind of things do they do?"
"All kinds of horrible things!"
"Right. But more precisely?"
"They buy and sell"
"Nothing wrong with that"
"Humans"
Both Min-Su and Jin let out an 'Oh' at that. If this was a place that bought and sold humans...Wasn't it just a slave trader? Those are quite common and legal in some countries of this world. Just like it did exist in his past world, it was in here too. Though it was mostly something mortals were interested in. Or sects who lacked servants.
Regardless, it wouldn't warrant a crusade.
Seeing how both guys weren't that surprised and lacked reaction, it was her turn to be stunned. Just how bad were the morals of those two?! This was a human butchering shop!
