Chapter 128

“Sir, we’ll have to go through a brief inspection.”

The driver pulled over looking annoyed when a police car pulled alongside him. Jerry Kuber would obviously go crazy.

“What? Do you know who this person is?”

‘Oh. This is no different from South Korea.’

Choi Yeonseung was impressed. What else did the US and South Korea have in common?

“Please get out of the car.”

“Tell me why you stopped me! Officer, what are your name and affiliation?!”The driver shouted.

Choi Yeonseung, who was dressed as a police officer, coldly said, “You were speeding.”

“You pulled us over just because I sped up a little bit?! You’ll regret this! Tell me your name and affiliation!”

Choi Yeonseung was slightly embarrassed. The driver was too confident. When caught speeding, didn’t people normally pretend to be a bit sorry or smile, say ‘Oh, I am this type of person~’, and try to bribe the police officer? However, this person’s brain structure seemed to be different, seeing as how he became angry instead. Regardless of how strong his backer was, this was a bit too much...

Choi Yeonseung drew his sword and aimed it at the driver’s neck. The driver instantly turned pale. “W-W-What... ”

“If you don’t want to get off, then don’t get off.”

“Damn you!”

Startled, the man next to him tried to draw his pistol. The magic power he emitted made it clear that he was a hunter. A hunter armed with modern technology and magic was a powerful bodyguard. Jerry Kuber was a president, so it was only natural for him to have a hunter as an escort.

Choi Yeonseung’s other hand moved quickly. A wind bullet made of internal energy flew from his fingertip.

Finger wind! It was weaker than a bullet made of concentrated energy, but it was strong enough to penetrate the human body.

Choi Yeonseung didn’t just shoot out a finger wind, either. He precisely targeted the opponent’s pressure point with Pressure Point Attack. Poking it accurately could create all types of effects with minimal force. As a result, the hunter passed out.

Choi Yeonseung opened the car door and got in. Jerry Kuber was stunned. “Y-Y-You... You will regret this! Don’t you know who I am?”

“I know that much.”

“... I-Is it money? Is that what you want? If it is, then I can pay you. Just stay calm. If I die, there will be hunters going after you...”

“Oh, you’re too loud.”

Choi Yeonseung tapped Jerry Kuber’s neck as if he was annoyed.

Jerry Kuber choked and was rendered speechless.

“Let’s go, Mr. Driver.”

“......”

“I said go. Do you want me to pierce a hole in your body?”

“N-No! I’m going!”

The momentum Choi Yeonseung released was like a blade, completely overwhelming the ordinary driver and forcing him to obey.

***

‘I better finish this quickly before I get caught.’

Constellations didn’t always monitor their household members or minions. Powerful constellations had several kingdoms, and their minions numbered in the thousands or tens of thousands. It was impossible to observe their every single action. Instead, the constellations terrorized their minions and instilled fear that their master could be watching at any time. Few people could commit a betrayal when feeling such fear.

‘This guy has the courage to betray them.’

Choi Yeonseung looked at Jerry with curiosity.

A fat white man who?was?just starting to bald. Except for the fact that the clothes he was wearing were expensive luxury brands, he looked so ordinary that people would likely pass by him without even glancing at him. Where was his courage?

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ says it has used the power of existence to block the traitor constellation’s vision. It says you have to finish this quickly while he still hasn’t noticed.]

-Thank you, cat constellation.

Constellations could use their power of existence to block other constellations’ vision. If the traitor constellation tried to look at his minion, Jerry, he would be unable to see anything since the sight had been covered up. However, that also meant he would immediately realize something was wrong and send other minions. Therefore, Choi Yeonseung had to act quickly.

“Jerry Kuber. Hmm... Did your name come from Tom and Jerry?”

“...Huh?”

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ says if so, then he is a piece of trash.]

-Why do you hate Tom and Jerry... Ah. Is it because the cat keeps losing?

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ nods.]

“T-That isn’t the case.”

“No? How disappointing. Anyway, why did you do that?”

“Huh?”

Hey. Stop here,” Choi Yeonseung told the driver, who then pulled straight into the parking lot.

Bam!

The driver was knocked out.

“Why did you betray your original constellation and believe in a new one?”

“...!!!”

Jerry Kuber was stunned. How did this man know?

“Did the Traitor with a Poisoned Dagger send you?”

“No.”

“Then is it the Demon of Contract and Order?”

“That isn’t it either.”

“... Gasp. Then the government...”

Signing a constellation with an evil god constellation was a felony. Considering he signed a contract with two of them, it would be at least lifelong imprisonment...!

“That isn’t true either.”

“? ? ”

Jerry Kuber just blinked. The constellation didn’t send someone to get revenge for his betrayal, nor did the government send someone to arrest him...

Then why?

“I’m here to scout you.”

“... For... ”

“For the constellation I serve, the Undefeated Incarnation of Training.”

“!!!”

The unexpected offer flustered Jerry Kuber.

A third constellation!

… But who was the Undefeated Incarnation of Training?

“W-What type of constellation is he?”

Jerry Kuber was a businessman. Since he was scouted, he wanted to know who he was dealing with. What constellation he was, what benefits he could give, and how strong he was…?However, as a human being, it was almost impossible to understand the deep and complex world of constellations. All he could do was ask!

“He is a very good and strong constellation.”

“......”

‘Whoops. I shouldn’t have asked,’?Jerry Kuber regretted.

Now that he had thought about it, all he ever got were compliments when he asked a constellation’s minion about their master.

“It doesn’t matter. You only have one option. If you refuse, I will tell everyone about the truth.”

“......!”

He would either go to jail or be killed by an assassin sent by the constellations. Either way, it wasn’t an acceptable future.

“I... I u-understand! I will follow the Undefeated Incarnation of Training!” Jerry Kuber instantly accepted.

Unless he wanted to lose everything, he would have to change constellations, even if he didn’t know who the constellation was.

“... Wait. Did the constellation scout me because my abilities caught their eyes?”

“?”

Choi Yeonseung wondered what Jerry Kuber was talking about. What did he?mean by?‘caught his eyes’? Choi Yeonseung just aimed for him because he was the easiest and most vulnerable minion of his opponent. He didn’t pay attention to Jerry’s abilities. However, Jerry muttered while hitting his knees as if he had convinced himself.

“Well... You could say that.”

“As expected...!”

Choi Yeonseung roughly responded because he felt sorry for Jerry Kuber, who was moved to the point of trembling.

He kept getting scolded by his company’s foul-tempered and ferocious chairman, and his first constellation master, the Traitor with a Poisoned Dagger, threatened and scammed him using a contract, giving him nothing. He thought his new contractor, the Demon of Contract and Order, would be different...

In the midst of it all, he was honestly moved for being scouted because they saw value in his abilities. As a result, he no longer even cared at all about being kidnapped and being offered an ultimatum!

‘At last, a constellation who recognizes my abilities has appeared!’

‘I think he’s getting something confused.’

Choi Yeonseung didn’t like seeing this old man become so moved he was teary-eyed.

“I will offer my loyalty and show off my abilities!”

“... No. There is no need to do that...”

Jerry Kuber’s sudden proactiveness made Choi Yeonseung uncomfortable. Why was this guy so aggressive? Was it a trap?

[’Jerry Kuber’ has started to believe in the ‘Undefeated Incarnation of Training.’]

[The power of your existence has increased!]

***

Before clearing the veil and declaring victory, Choi Yeonseung asked Jerry Kuber a question. To be honest, he was curious how Jerry Kuber could be so brave that he could walk a tightrope between two evil god constellations.

“About that... I didn’t do it because I wanted to...”

Jerry Kuber coughed. He wanted to look good in front of the new constellation.

“When I was younger and in university, I got drunk and made a contract with the traitor constellation. This traitor constellation gave me a lot of orders without ■ing?doing anything for me. As a result, my company started performing poorly...”

‘Is it really the traitor constellation’s fault that the company didn’t perform well?’?Choi Yeonseung wondered.

Wasn’t it just Jerry Kuber’s lack of ability?

“... Alex Parker, that ■■ bastard, tried to destroy me, so I was forced to make a contract with the Demon of Contract and Order. However, this bastard didn’t lend me power either...”

The Goddess of Defeat and Sloth clicked her tongue.

-That poor human misunderstood the Demon of Contract and Order.

-Do you know that constellation?

-That demon is quite an old constellation. He would be better suited for someone like you, Successor.

The Demon of Contract and Order was an evil god constellation that was morbidly fond of contracts and order. It was rumored that in his kingdom, they had to write hundreds of papers just to drink a glass of water. There was no way that such a constellation would just give anyone strength. It was only after passing all sorts of subtle and complicated contracts that he would give his power.

-What makes you think he’s suitable for me?

-You’re a simple man, so he won’t make complicated contracts at all.

-... I will wake you up every 10 minutes.

-No!!! I helped you!!

As the two of them were talking, Jerry Kuber finished his story.

“Please forgive me. I’m the only one my wife and daughter have! If something goes wrong, my wife will no longer be able to enjoy horseback riding and yachting and my daughter will have to leave her private school!”

“You have a knack for making earnest pleas terrible,” Choi Yeonseung said with a bitter expression.

“Since we have the same constellation, I will keep it a secret. I won’t expose you to the constellations you served either.”

Evil god constellations would kill traitorous minions or believers, but they would never publicize it. After all, doing so would damage their pride and reputation.

“T-Thank you.”

“But an assassin might come for you.”’

Despite being a traitor, for as long as he wasn’t masterless, they wouldn’t bother touching him even if he just changed masters. If they didn’t want to fight, they would respect each other’s territory. But that was always an if.

“I’ll assign an escort to you for a bit.”

“This...!”

Jerry Kuber was impressed. He would be given an escort? This was proof that the constellation, the incarnation of training, was expecting a lot of him. His abilities were seen!

“I will definitely show it to you.”

“... What do you mean?”

***

After persuading and scouting Jerry Kuber, Choi Yeonseung happily removed the veil of the power of existence. All that was left now was to declare victory.

“?”

At that moment, Choi Yeonseung received a call.

“What is it?”

-Choi Yeonseung-ssi…?Don’t you want to take everything that Dragon Hwang has?

“......”

Choi Yeonseung wondered what the caller was saying for a moment.

‘Ah...!’

That traitor constellation bastard…?wasn’t even aware that Gyeongryong hyung was Choi Yeonseung’s household member!

-Think about it. The enormous power that Dragon Hwang possesses...

“Hey. My master told me that the constellation battle is over.”

-... ?
