I’m the Villain’s Constellation but I’m Broke

Chapter 70

Chapter 70. Unmeasurable (2)

“I got a call from Lee Myung-won-ssi. It overlaps with Hyung’s problem now.”

“My problem?”

“The association is trying to covet Hyung.”

I couldn’t help but be taken aback by those words.

“Me?”

“Yes. The problem is that the unfunny people are trying to do so, but… Lee Myung-won seems to have tried to deal with it on his own, and just in time, a dungeon crack has appeared.”

Baek Tae-beom glanced at me through the rearview mirror and said.

“It is presumed to be a Grade-A dungeon, and it seems like ordinary people will be caught up in it. The hunters belonging to the association will be going there, and they’re insisting on you going with them.

“Why?”

“They want to verify Hyung’s abilities, there… Ah.”

Baek Tae-beom, who was reading the messages on his cell phone, frowned.

“A difficult jerk is going to come too.

“They’re a bunch of fussy guys.”

“I mean, I’m a bit tired right now. Where is it found?”

“In Sanggye-dong.”

Sanggye-dong?

Something flashed through my head, and I grabbed Baek Tae-beom’s forearm. I asked urgently, not paying attention to the man’s face, which was stained with embarrassment.

“There is something unusual in that place, no?”

“Oh, wait a minute. Now the message….”

“Did you get anything?”

“The flames in the crack—”

Baek Tae-beom opened his mouth.

“The fires spread, and public access has been banned altogether.”

I couldn’t help but be sure of it.

Kang Si-hoo.

Kang Si-hoo was there.

***

As I raised my head, a large entrance came into view. An entrance that could literally be called “huge”.

The dungeon that devoured an entire housing complex was a disaster in itself with its soaring flames. Dungeons of Grade-A or higher often tended to look like this.

If left as it was, either the flames would eat everything, or the monsters inside would come out and devour the people. One of the two occurring was inevitable.

“You’re here.”

Lee Myung-won and the first-generation hunters were the ones present. There was also a group of people who were dressed as civil servants and were apparently from the association.

‘Information.’

This individual is in a state in which it is not possible to verify the correct information due to the cover of a mask.]

He was similar in height to Baek Tae-beom, and had reddish-brown hair that went down to the back of his neck. He was dressed the same as the other two men, but he seemed to be a bit unusual.

The fact that he was crouching a bit and restlessly looking around was firmly imprinted on my mind.

“Let me introduce you, Choi Ga-hyun-ssi.”

Lee Myung-won said with a bit of significance to my name.

“They’re from the association. They came to see Choi Ga-hyun, and I’m here for this dungeon exploration.”

I straightened my back and looked at them.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Choi Ga-hyun.”

“Ah… I’ve only heard rumors. It is an honor to meet you like this.”

Kim Ki-won politely responded and held out his hand.

“My name is Kim Ki-won, and this is Jeon Pil-su.”

“You have no idea how happy I am to see you.”

After shaking hands with me, they went on.

“I wanted to greet you with more hospitality, but we are in a severe shortage of manpower… It’s sad that only the three of us could come. To greet Hunter Choi Ga-hyun, something more glamorous would have been needed, right? Like an S-class hunter.”

He spoke sarcastically. And my eyes slightly widened as I momentarily ruminated his words, my thoughts quickly going to Oh Kwon-hyuk. It had been strange that he’d done what he did in the Hansung guild lobby and not anywhere else, and it was even more strange that rumors weren’t going around about it.

Baek Tae-beom, meanwhile, continued to coldly stare at them, so I had to speak calmly as I felt he would plant their heads into the ground the moment

I showed any signs of discomfort.

“It doesn’t really matter. By the way….”

I looked at the man curled up behind them.

“Who is that?”

The man looked around wildly and pointed to himself in amazement, his actions overly exaggerated.

“You mean m-m-me?!”

“Yes, you.”

“I… I Uh, I uh, that….”

The man who had a tearful voice over the mask could not finish his words and hid behind Kim Ki-won. It wasn’t suitable for his great size.

I used my skill on him.

[Skill: Eye of the Dead]

[By borrowing the power of the dead, you can properly see through the state of others. The strength of its ability depends on the constellation’s ability.]

[Skill: Eye of the Dead]

[You used a skill. Skill: Eye of the Dead]

[Activating Eye of the Dead. The blessing of the constellation is transmitted.]

[Some of the facts that were covered by the mask are revealed.]

“I…”

Just as the man behind Kim Ki-won was about to speak, Jeon Pil-su next to him took the lead.

“You don’t have to worry about this guy.”
