SSS-Class Villain Life

41 – Mask of Predation (2)

‘okay! If it’s because of resentment, this kind of deal is understandable enough! Revenge is desperate, so what’s the importance of things like property and interests!’

In Harold’s opinion, emotions such as revenge and resentment stood above all other emotions. Because of that, Harold did not doubt the undead master any more than this. The undead master’s feelings were understandable enough.

“So, are you leaving now?”

“okay. Now that the Black Dragon Society has collapsed, my work is over.”

“Why don’t you leave your contact information? We could be a good business relationship. Or maybe we could be best friends than anyone else.”

Harold said with a friendly smile.

He really liked the Undead Master. The Undead Master had not only power but also fame. If he had a close relationship with him, Cerberus would be able to grow much bigger than he is now.

“I will refuse.”

However, the undead master shook his head.

Harold licked his lips with regret, but soon said as if he couldn’t help it.

“Kuh, that’s right! But Cerberus will always welcome you. So come see me anytime.”

“Don’t let that happen.”

After saying that, the Undead Master immediately left.

Harold’s lips were bitter, but he immediately brushed off his regret. In the first place, he was not the type to hold on to the past for a long time.

“I’ll be busy anyway.”

Harold muttered as he looked at the numerous helicopters floating over the building and the crowds gathered on the first floor.

He thought it would take a year just to clear up the disturbance caused by this war.

***

When I got home, it was already 20:00.

Kanghyuk opened the front door and opened it.

“brother! Are you here?”

The first person to greet Kang Hyuk was none other than Kim Joo-yeon. She looked up at Kanghyuk with sparkling eyes.

“What are those eyes? burdensome to people.”

“hehehe, oppa looks so great. To really destroy the Black Dragon Society… ! You are really cool!”

After killing the lower-ranking officials of the Black Dragon Society, Kim Joo-yeon was staying at Kang-hyeok’s house. But it wasn’t like she was just wasting time. She had been watching the war between the Black Dragon and Cerberus in real time, making full use of her abilities.

“I am a little great. But you guys also worked hard. Thanks to you guys, the war was much easier.”

Kang Hyuk’s words were true.

First of all, thanks to killing the executives of the Black Dragon Society, it was easy to produce the skeleton corps, so it could be said that the roles of the two women were very important.

If he tried to create 50 skeletons alone, it would have taken 50 days. Skeleton production skills can be used several times a day if there is a corpse, but if there is no corpse, it cannot be used only once a day.

“hehehe, what did I do? I haven’t done anything Ayla unni has worked so hard.”

When Jooyeon Kim gave her credit as if she was embarrassed, Ayla turned her head while snoring.

While Kang-hyeok wasn’t there, the two seemed to have become close in their own way. If it had been before, there would have been no snoring or anything.

“Anyway, the Black Dragon won’t be bothering you anymore, so don’t worry. But that doesn’t mean you don’t run wild like you did before! Strangers might come after you again. Got it?”

“yes! I’ll keep that in mind!”

“Hey, I’ll take care of myself, so don’t worry about it. what… I’ll try to be a little more careful.”

Kim Joo-yeon answered vigorously, and Ayla responded like a tsundere.

Afterwards, the three had a party with delivery food, and then parted ways, promising a future date. In fact, unlike Ayla, Kim Joo-yeon was right next door, so there was nothing to say even after breaking up. As soon as Kim Joo-yeon returned home, she fell on the bed.

cool… !

“… Damn, this guy’s whole house. I should remodel the walls thicker or something.”

Hearing Kim Joo-yeon’s snoring, Kang-hyeok shook his head.

He thought about it for a while, then turned on the laptop as if he couldn’t help it.

Now that this has happened, he has decided to start ‘the plan’ from today. It was none other than the ‘special ability predation plan’.

‘Which one should I aim for first?’

Kang Hyuk started browsing the portal site of the Public Security Agency.

Until now, he had been hunting villains mainly with ‘level up’ and ‘money’.

However, now that he has the Mask of Predation, his focus can be seen as ‘superpower’ itself rather than leveling up or money.

Starting today, Kang Hyuk planned to hunt down villains with special abilities. By absorbing their abilities, Kanghyeok would be able to become much stronger than before.

‘A grade or higher might be a bit dangerous, so I’ll have to look around with a B grade or lower. If you look for it, you’ll find someone with very useful abilities.’

Kang Hyuk started looking through the list of villains. There were some villains in his memory, but there were also villains that were not. These guys had little information, so I could not help but see it as a dismissal.

‘… That’s right.’

By the way, it was about an hour after he looked around the site like that.

Finally, Kang Hyuk was able to find a villain he liked.

The villain was a B-class villain called Dark Shadow, but the reason he was called a villain was because he had assassinated countless heroes and celebrities and stole their property.

However, from Kang Hyuk’s point of view, those things were not important. What was important to him was the ability that Dark Shadow had.

In the world, opinions were divided as to what Dark Shadow’s abilities were. However, Kang Hyuk, the possessed chair, knew very well. The fact that Dark Shadow’s ability is none other than ‘teleport’.

‘It’s not for nothing that this guy is called the best assassin and thief. There’s a teleport, but who can catch him?’

Of course, Dark Shadow’s teleport ability was not all-round. I couldn’t move only within 10km, and I couldn’t use it twice in a row.

However, even taking all of those things into account, his abilities could be seen as very outstanding.

The ability to teleport could be useful not only for movement, but also for escape. So, from Kanghyeok’s point of view, it was necessary to take away this guy’s ability. If he ate this guy’s ability for the first time, Kanghyuk would be able to aim for A-rank or higher alone from then on.

‘Maybe the place where this guy lives is an island located on the west coast? I’d better leave right now so I can catch the morning boat.’

After Kang Hyuk closed his laptop, he started preparing to go out.

Perhaps it was something that would have to lie dormant for quite a long time.

***

Dark Shadow, whether aware or not aware that Kanghyuk had started targeting him, was currently focusing on his work.

Swoop!

“Where is the family seal?”

“omg! who, who… ?”

“Only answer the questions asked.”

Dark Shadow’s sword pierced the man’s thick neck.

The man swallowed dry saliva, and answered without hesitation.

“This, the seal is in the drawer next to the bed. The second drawer.”

“Is there a separate lock?”

“No, there is nothing like that. Hey, look! I don’t know who asked for it, but I’ll give you three times more than the request fee. therefore… .”

Awesome!

“… !”

The man’s words did not carry on to the end. It was because Dark Shadow’s blade cut through his throat.

‘What is the request! I don’t take requests. I only move alone.’

Dark Shadow smiled coldly and started rummaging through the man’s drawer.

Indeed, in the second drawer, the seal of the family he was looking for was kept.

‘Good. Now, if you have this, you should be able to enter the vault of ‘Cheonyangga’! What’s really in there? artifact? Or gold and silver treasure piled up like a mountain?’

Dark Shadow’s heart pounded.

People in the world thought of his original job as an ‘assassin’. However, as always, Dark Shadow was thinking of himself as a ‘Danger’. Only wealth mattered to him. Killing people was just one means to him. A means to acquire wealth.

‘Chunyangga is located in China! It’s going to be quite a long journey, so it’d be nice to stop by the island for a while.’

Dark Shadow put the seal of the family into his bosom and then cast a teleport.

Where he left, only a cold corpse was left behind.
