Genius Warlock - Episode 200

"brother. What the hell is this??”

Owen had no idea how to answer his younger brother's question..

Because he didn't understand what was going on right now..

That the chef, the head of the fighter crew, is actually a member of the Black Hand, and that he stole the Crime Firm's auction items..

Stories like lightning poured out one after another from a dry sky..

But what was even more absurd was the chef's statement that they should help themselves if they want to survive, as they themselves have become targets of the crime firm..

‘Anyway, when you get involved with me, you're all screwed. Whether you help me or not, you will be tied up in wholesale payments and become a target of crime firms. So please help me if this happens. In that case, I will accept all of you with black hands. And I will share the great forbidden knowledge with you so that you may gain strength you have never imagined..’

A very difficult story for Owen, who is only 19 years old..

No, it was a story of no interest..

Owen's only interest was earning money to feed his younger siblings, following the example of his older brothers, Joe and Sam. That was it..

But now we have to go to war with the crime firm......

It was so absurd and unrealistic that I didn't even know how to react. More than anything..….

“..…Your captain is very late.?”

The fighter crew member sent by the chef sneered..

Among the numerous fighter crews, these are the ones with whom we have a particularly bad relationship..

The chef put it on for protection, but even clueless Owen knew that wasn't the case..

I didn't know the exact reason, but these guys were placed here to monitor us..

To control Joe and Sam..

The children seemed to instinctively know this and hugged each other with anxious expressions..

Where have Joe, Sam and the others gone? What should I do if the worst happens??

It was a time when I was so worried..

"uh..… . Hey, here comes Joe.?”

"where? oh… .. Did you finish it off??”

"It's faster than you think? Is your face okay? ..… Contrary to rumors, I guess it wasn't a big deal.?”

"I know. But who is that... … huh?”

Owen looked ahead..

I thought Joe was coming with dozens of fighter crew members, but he suddenly rushed over and instantly blew away the two people in charge who were having a mean conversation..

As executives, these people were also not of average skill, but in recent years, they were no match for Joe, whose black magic skills had improved significantly, so they were all defeated with one blow..

bang-!

Kwasik!!

One was thrown against the wall, the other was thrown to the floor..

Those around them were startled by the sudden sight, but when they saw Joe's eyes, they soon stopped their actions. No, I got scared and froze..

"article?”

"I'm cutting off ties with the chef, what are you going to do, Owen??”

***

Joe was in the middle of stopping traffic when Oliver approached him..

As soon as he arrived, he immediately knocked away two people who appeared to be the leader, and then suppressed his subordinates with just his eyes and shouted..

"I will cut ties with my boss from now on. Those who want to be loyal, attack them, and those who want to take care of themselves, get out of the way. I don't necessarily catch the guy who's going.."

Those who were paying attention to the simple and clear choice mumbled and ran away one by one..

I've felt this for a long time, but Joe seems to have quite the qualities to be a leader..

Joseph, Cant, Forrest, Murphy, Arthur, Jonathan.

"Surprisingly, it comes off easily.?”

"Honestly, there are still a lot of people who are dumbfounded because the chef suddenly pushed things forward. Except for a few, we have no choice but to follow. He said he would put him in the black hands to appease him, but honestly, who believes that??”

As if to prove those words, all the people who guarded this place suddenly disappeared..

Joe didn't even care.

"Hey Sam.”

"why?”

"You are staying here with our children. If they don't come within an hour, I'll take the kids and run away somewhere. Oh, what are you going to do??”

"ah… . It's me. I'll go wherever Joe tells me to go. But what's going on now??”

Joe answered, shifting his gaze from Owen to Oliver..

"We tried to kill Dave, but he said he would help us. You, too, are staying here with Sam. just in case. okay?”

"ah… .. yes!”

Although Owen was confused, he understood the general idea and nodded..

As soon as I answered, I took the children and other people from the same community and went somewhere..

The action was very natural, without any unnecessary elements..

‘Are you doing some kind of preparation training? Well, there's really no such thing as police here..’

"thank you.”

After stopping the traffic to some extent, Joe approached Oliver and said,.

He seemed quite calm compared to when I first met him today. Saying thank you is also sincere, not a polite greeting..

Oliver responded politely..

"No, it's my job anyway..”

"Not that one. Thank you for following me right here. Thanks to you, I was able to save the kids quickly. Thank you so much.”

It was like that. From a formal point of view, he should have reported to Forrest and consulted with his employer, Jonathan, rather than pushing things like this, but Oliver didn't do that..

They say that if you waste time like that, people in Joe's community could suffer harm at the hands of the chef..

So Oliver stormed in here without telling anyone..

Thanks to you, I was able to get it without any problems..

Certainly, it was not a very commendable action for a problem solver, but Oliver decided that he had no choice. He even promised to help..

‘Well, it'll work out somehow.’

When Owen, Sam, and the young men who live here finished guarding, Joe said:.

"Well then, shall we go??”

Joe asks with a little fear shining. Oliver nodded his head..

"Yeah, that's what I came here for..”

"If you do something wrong, you might have to fight with over two hundred guys. Compared to you, it's not that big of a deal, but there are a lot of them.."

"hmm..… . Can you just take me to the chef??”

"Oh, I can get there..”

"That's enough.”

***

After exchanging conversation, Joe led the rest of the team and guided Oliver..

Currently, the chef has gathered fighter crew members in Area X and is preparing for an attack by the Crime Firm..

“Buy some homemade weapons in Area Y and fortify a building..”

“uh..… . Wasn’t it originally set up in Area Y??”

"My relationship with the District Y gang that I was affiliated with went sour, so I came over here. Someone exploded a big bomb there and caused a lot of damage...”

"who did that?”

Joe narrowed his eyes and looked at Oliver..

".…Anyway, Crime Firm is also Crime Firm, but if you do it wrong, you can also fight against the gangs in Area Y. Even though it is located next to the Shem River, it is not completely safe. Suddenly things got so crazy.”

Joe said as if he were lamenting. Oliver agreed..

It was so sudden..

It was not surprising that a rumor suddenly spread that it was the chef who stole the auction item, and his response was too hasty and loud..

You could take your time by denying it, but instead, you reveal your true identity and immediately prepare for war..

It felt like he was provoking me to fight..

"There it is.”

Joe walked alongside Oliver and pointed to a building..

It was a huge multi-family house at a large intersection, and it seemed like it could accommodate more than a hundred people..

Barricades were erected around the huge building, and the windows were either boarded up or lined with machine guns..

Many people were also seen. Everyone's emotional state was in turmoil..

"Hey, Joe. I came after work?”

A man who was building a barricade nearby spoke to Joe..

Joe asked a question instead of an answer..

“The boss is?”

"boss? Over there, over there... .. But, Victor?”

"dead.”

Joe answered briefly and took Oliver inside..

The man who answered was surprised and asked, but Joe didn't answer and just walked in..

We passed by people who were preparing for defense and people who were moving weapons, ammunition, and test tubes containing emotions..

They seemed to instinctively feel something when Joe appeared, so they stopped what they were doing and looked at him in silence..

“boss….”

Joe said, stopping in front of a man..

The man was tall, had broad shoulders, a strong body, abundant hair, and a short beard, and had quite an outstanding appearance..

Not only that, but he exuded confidence that matched his appearance, naturally putting people around him under his control..

The proof was the confidence that radiated out of the body and infected those around it..

"oh… … . article. I'm here?”

"yes."

"Did you finish your work well??”

"That's where things got a little messy..”

"Things went wrong… ? Come to think of it, Victor?”

"died.”

“somehow?”

"His head was smashed by a fist and he died.."

"who threw a punch?”

"It's me.”

At Joe's words, the fighter crew around him murmured in surprise..

Judging by people's reactions, it seemed like Joe had some form of influence here..

"You killed it? why?”

"Because it just doesn't make sense..”

“Doesn't that make sense? What on earth does that mean??”

"There is a way for everyone to live together, but aren't they asking us to go down a path of death for our own greed? So I killed it.”

After hearing Joe's answer, the chef pulled out a steak knife with a small but strong blade from among the several knives on his waist..

"You say something riddle-like, which is unusual for you. Please say it so I can understand.”

Tension tightened. The man called the chef was planning to kill Joe if he had to..

While everyone was swallowing their saliva, a voice that did not fit the atmosphere intervened..

"Uh, can I tell you a little bit about that??”

Everyone's eyes were focused on the music source..

The owner of the voice is none other than Oliver. He slowly came out of the crowd, raising his hand..

"Please excuse me. Oh, thank you.”

He passed the people and walked forward, stepping on the ground with his quarter staff..

Perfectly suited to your steps. Just right. Just right. The sound rang out regularly.

Sudden situation. The chef opened his mouth..

"Hey..… . Am I seeing a ghost now??”

"As far as I know, I'm not dead yet, so I'm probably not a ghost..”

"The way you speak is very unique..”

"is that so? Anyway, it's nice to meet you. Chef. My name is Dave, and I am a troubleshooter in Area T. You saw us in area Y the other day.?”

“like…..”

The chef raised one eyebrow at Oliver's question..

I tried it just in case, but it turned out right..

The chef looks at Oliver with interest and wariness..

On the other hand, the fighter crew members who had gathered around were all puzzled and did not understand what was going on..

While there was an awkward and strange silence, Oliver spoke first..

"that.… It would take a long time to explain, but I came here after hearing that you tried to kill me by ordering Joe to do it..”

"By any chance, are you crazy??”

"yes? .… No, I've been asked that question before, but I'm not crazy.."

"Then what gave you the guts to come here alone? I don't see any support around me..”

The chef asks, looking around with the vision of a warlock..

What a great question..

In fact, it didn't make sense for Oliver to come here. It's in the middle of a den of people trying to kill you. It's absolutely crazy.

But Oliver said calmly:.

"Like I said, it's a little complicated, but Joe asked me to help..”

"......."

"......."

"......."

"......."

Everyone was silent. It seems absurd. As if he couldn't believe it.

"why?”

"yes?”

"Why did you come because Joe asked for help? Do you help anyone who asks for help??”

"I don't help everyone, but what if I'm in a position to help? … .Well, personally, I did it even though Area X and Crime Firm didn't fight. I just signed up for a few months worth of membership to this gym..”

The chef burst out laughing as soon as he heard the answer..

It seems so absurd. After laughing for a while, he opened his mouth..

"article… .. disappointed. Did you trust this crazy guy and show your teeth at me? If I had risked my life to fight, at least I would have taken care of your family..”

"I'm sorry, but I don't trust the words of the person who held my family hostage. Before that, isn't it absurd to believe the words of a guy who eats human flesh??”

human meat. The fighter crew members around me murmured at those words..

It seemed like he didn't really know much about human meat chefs. Well, Oliver also found out the detailed information relatively recently..

"Ho... Are you talented too? I figured it out there?”

"I heard from Dave.”

People murmured even more at the chef's statement, which he admitted was true..

Well, even if it is a lawless area abandoned by the city, there will be at least some lines..

But the chef came out rather shamelessly..

"what? What's wrong with everyone? Isn’t that what you expected when you heard the name ‘human meat chef’? In other words, did you think you would get the power to change your life for free? huh?!”

The cook opened his eyes and shouted. Everyone flinched as if the chef's influence was so great..

Except Oliver. Oliver raised another hand and said.

"Everyone has their own line, so I don't think you'll be offended..”

The chef looked at Oliver, who directly refuted his words..

"You're talking bullshit. Those guys who make a living by killing people have things like that. What difference does it make??”

"well? The part about maintaining a minimum level of conscience? I don't think it's that bad. What can I say..... You have humanity, right?."
