The Returner Wants Complete Victory

24 – 024. Mad Dog (2)

“50 bottles of the lowest level potion, a total of 10 gold!”

A merchant guild salesperson said with a bright business smile.

A bottle of Extra Life only costs about 20,000 won.

It was a low price that could be achieved because the country was at war and there was an upper limit on it.

I asked, holding out 10 Leveron gold coins.

“I bought a lot, but you’re not giving me a discount?”

“Soniim─. “We-”

“Oh, no, it’s okay. it’s okay. Check please.”

Sensing that the salesperson was angry in her tone, I quickly stopped talking.

The salesperson licked her lips in disappointment at my response.

scary year… .

“Come again—!”

I left the Merchant’s Guild branch with my arms full of 5 boxes of 10 potions.

The men were still standing at the door, glaring at each other, waiting for me.

The bite should come slowly.

Because of that, I deliberately spent time looking at useless items in the store.

If a report was made right when I left the Demilitarized Zone, orders on how to respond should have already been given.

And as expected, not long after, a group of large figures were seen coming towards us from afar.

“hey.”

At the front stood a skinhead white man with a long scar running across his head.

I was also quite tall, but the man was so huge that he seemed to be a head taller than me.

As they approached, the expressions of some of the group standing in front of the door showed confidence, and the group presumed to be the Martial Artist League slowly widened their distance.

“Are you the guy from Emur?”

“That’s right. “Where do you come from?”

I also responded to the rude man’s words with a provocation.

We already know where the man is from.

Mad Dog.

They are a mercenary group led by an American, and they are better at killing people than the Chimeras.

It’s just that they have no direct grudge against me, so their priority has been pushed back, and they are all the same people who need to be eliminated before creating a mercenary group in Kirnyu.

“This is Aaron Moss, the leader of Mad Dog. The boss asks to see you. “Follow me.”

But the man just answered bluntly, as if he wasn’t interested in my tone of voice.

If I do this, I’ll be like a narrow-minded mothball.

After saying that, the man turned and walked away, and I stared at his back blankly.

One of his subordinates rushed over and stopped the man who was walking with great strides.

The man walked towards me again and asked me with his still expressionless expression.

“Why aren’t you following me?”

“why me.”

When I think about it again, it’s not that I’m a moth, it’s that these bastards lack common sense.

I’m right.

I have a duty to correct these bastards’ attitudes.

“My luggage is too heavy and I’m dying, so I have to come from someone who has errands. “I’ll be waiting for you, so take your leader and come to the demilitarized zone.”

Aaron frowned as if he was troubled by my words.

“Can not be done.”

“why.”

“We are all prohibited from entering that inn.”

It was a reason I could not have imagined.

Looking back, the Mad Dogs had never come to the Demilitarized Zone during the first round.

Even when we lost to the Martial Artists’ League and were completely wiped out, no one came to save us.

I never thought there was a behind-the-scenes story like this.

“What on earth have you been doing?”

How much trash do you have to do for good Rick to ban you from entering?

I sighed once and called my subordinate who was next to Aaron.

“hey!”

“Me?”

“receive.”

I handed over the potion box I was holding.

The man who had taken over the potion box looked at Aaron, but Aaron didn’t even pay attention and turned around and started walking again.

“Take care of it. “If the contents of it break or anything, I will spit on the back of that bald head.”

“What the f*ck… !”

Then, given the atmosphere of the Mad Dog mercenary group, I don’t know, but this guy is definitely a half-asshole.

The man probably knew that, too, as he swallowed the profanity that rose to his chin and calmly lifted the potion box.

In a large room, dozens of people were sitting at a long table.

Among them, the middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table opened his mouth.

“… So, he went with Aaron?”

“yes. Lord Maeng. According to reports, it was not discussed in advance, but Mad Dog requested a conversation.”

“You don’t know that. Maybe I was just pretending to see it for the first time… .”

The man called Maengju rested his chin and tapped the table.

A long time passed, but no one interrupted the man’s thoughts.

Finally, the leader made a groaning sound and said.

“There are too few clues. Nothing is clear. “Why on earth did he come here?”

Then the subordinates began to open their mouths to appeal their usefulness.

“Isn’t it true that it was sent from Emur?”

“Wouldn’t the fact that you went to talk to Mad Dog mean that you were confirming that you would be hostile to us, for whatever reason? “We need to kill him quickly before he does something in vain.”

“Just leave it to me. I—.”

Bang bang!

Maengju, who heard the sound coming from the central heating system, hit the table with his palm.

The conference room was suddenly immersed in silence.

“You idiots. If Emur was trying to take over this city, why would he join hands with Mad Dog? “If you have a head on your head, think about it!”

There is no reason to choose Mad Dog over the Martial Artists Alliance, both in terms of size of force and as a business partner.

There is room for negotiation here, but Mad Dog is a truly violent organization.

“Aren’t you aiming for the mutual destruction of Mad Dog and us?”

At that time, one of the subordinates cautiously opened his mouth.

They destroy the forces occupying Kirnyu and take advantage of the gap to come in… .

Although that seemed the most likely, the leader was also skeptical about that opinion.

“If we start a war with Mad Dog, the gutter rats will definitely join the fight. And more than 80% of Kirnyu’s combatants belong to one of these three organizations… .”

It is not a geographically important point leading to the empire, nor are there any unexcavated imperial ruins nearby.

A land where losers gather and struggle somehow.

This city without people has no value.

But what on earth can you gain by killing everyone? .

no. Is it really so?

The leader called the deputy leader who was the smartest among these two heads.

“Jongsu.”

“yes.”

“Are you sure that the dungeon you found last time wasn’t an imperial ruin?”

“yes. We have even confirmed that it is a relic that existed from before the empire, and that it is an ancient temple that worshiped a forgotten old god.”

I asked just in case, but the deputy leader’s answer was no different from a few days ago.

As expected, there are no imperial ruins nearby.

“Yes, it was… .”

You won’t find an answer if you worry about something you don’t know.

Maengju decided to put aside useless worries and talk about what was needed right away.

“how is it. Do you think Mad Dog took the bait?”

“yes. “There are so many turns along the way that you wouldn’t even guess that we are the source of information.”

“Are you sure there’s nothing left there? “If there is a missing relic that strengthens Mad Dog’s power, we will be in an awkward situation.”

“yes. These are not normal ruins to begin with. The only thing you can get from there is a curse. “Didn’t you sacrifice the entire exploration team led by Grand Master Tan Jiming to confirm that?”

“good. I guess I’ll have to change my plan a bit. Kanghyuk!”

When the leader called, the man standing behind him took a step forward.

Just like that.

The sword hanging loosely from his waistband made an unpleasant sound as it hit his leg.

I had the illusion that the fishy scent of blood was lingering throughout the room.

The subordinates, who were struggling to somehow attract the leader’s attention, began to look the other way and avoid eye contact when the man appeared.

“Take the entire military force you lead and ambush them in front of the ruins. “If James isn’t an asshole, Mad Dog’s elite will enter the dungeon.”

As the leader continued to speak, the man’s wide eyes began to glow with life.

Even the leader felt chills looking at the man’s eyes like that, but he tried to pretend to be calm and spoke.

“The moment they come out of the dungeon, ambush them and kill them all. “The war must be brought forward.”

The sword hanging on the man’s waist trembled slightly, as if anticipating the blood he would drink in the future.

“Say it again, wizard.”

“How many times are you making me repeat the same annoying thing, you stupid bastard? “He told me to hand over the dungeon he discovered this time to me.”

bang!

Kwasik.

The leader of the Mad Dog mercenaries could not control his emotions and hit the table with his fist.

The table broke, shards of wood flew in the air, and broken liquor bottles rolled across the floor.

Even as all kinds of debris passed by scratching his face, Director Mad Dog was glaring at me without blinking an eye.

When I saw that expression, an indescribable feeling of embarrassment came over me.

They’re all saying it’s good for you, dude.

Are you saying your brother is trying to save you now?

The reason you couldn’t do anything by the Martial Artist League during the first round was because of that dungeon. yes?

But I didn’t think I would believe it even if I told it to him.

No. I already told you that the ruins were a trap to catch you with an empty can, but you didn’t believe me.

I’m sure he tried to persuade me in a good way at first, but why did it end up like this again?

However, if the other person raises their hand first, you can’t just clap and move on.

There is nothing wrong with me.
