Chapter 350: Don’t even pretend like you are our team member (2)

Translator: miraclerifle

Ju-Heon was smiling. The long bag that was blocking John was a regular looking instrument bag. Ju-Heon just held it sideways to block John’s way.

It was as if he was asking John where he was going.

John scoffed internally, as if he was in disbelief.

‘Seo Ju-Heon, this bastard.’

But he hid his disbelief and started to speak.

“I believe this is our first time meeting each other. You're Mr. Seo Ju-Heon, correct?”

Ju-Heon had a twisted smile on his face as he responded.

“I believe this is our first time meeting each other? That’s not right.”

The black instrument bag exploded as soon as he said that.

Bang!

What was inside the bag was actually a sparkling blade! Ju-Heon grabbed it and attacked John.

Bang!

It had happened in an instant.

The blade that had burst out was Mammon's blade.

Its usual appearance was a pickaxe but he made it take the form of a blade today.

Mammon was a devil of mining and not an expert in destruction, but she was still a devil after all. It would be extremely annoying for someone like John who handles holy artifacts.

Swooosh!

The dagger that was the size of a person’s forearm aimed for John’s neck. The blade of mining released its chaotic aura and tried to dig through John’s flesh.

It wanted to dig out the Christian artifact inside his body! However, John used superhuman reflexes to tilt his head and dodge the attack, and then...

Swish!

John quickly tried to take his hand out of his pocket. It was so that he could activate the artifact he had in there.

However...

Puuk!

“Ugh!”

The blade stabbed into his right arm, as if Ju-Heon was saying it was obvious what he was trying to do.

The blade digging in brought unbearable pain to John.

John glared at him as if to ask what the hell Ju-Heon was doing, and Ju-Heon just scoffed at him.

“I remember you always used your right arm for your Christian artifacts.”

“......!”

In the Christian church, the right hand had God’s holy authority. It symbolized the authority of creation, salvation, and discipline. That was why most Christian artifacts, although not all, required the use of the right hand.

After teaming with this bastard two different times, there was no way Ju-Heon wouldn't know that.

And then...

Ju-Heon's eyes flashed and John’s right arm was sent flying.

“Ugh!”

A blade that had almost instantly flown over had cut John’s arm off.

John’s arm fell to the ground and the airport turned into chaos as the uninvolved travelers saw blood spurting out.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaa!”

"What is going on?!”

Of course, the people in the airport were not the only ones freaking out.

“C, Captain-nim!”

His team members nearby all gasped as well.

“How is he here?!”

Although he was shocked as well, Julian quickly started to act.

“Ilya, hurry up and seal the area around here!”

“!”

Ilya grumbled as he activated his artifact.

"Tsk, the Captain made his move first...!”

‘I wanted to take care of this son of a bitch!’

A devil soon appeared and started to cast a barrier. The barrier put everybody inside to sleep and changed their memories.

Ju-Heon charged toward John again as that was going on.

Bang!

John may have lost one hand but he used swift movements to dodge Ju-Heon’s attack.

He then took a gun out with his left hand but Ju-Heon was someone who had Xiang Yu’s Sword, the best artifact for close combat.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Ju-Heon parried the bullets with the sword before quickly moving closer to John again. His movement was swift while his gaze resembled that of a wild beast.

Ju-Heon appeared in front of John in the blink of an eye and stabbed the blade into his neck.

Puuk!

John fell backward from the impact and Ju-Heon just stepped on him.

“Ugh!”

It had all happened in an instant.

“Oh, as expected of the Captain. Amazing.”

Ilya was truly amazed. But while the team was being wowed at Ju-Heon's abilities, there was someone who was acting differently.

Jaeha was slowly starting to escape.

“Everybody, hurry! We gotta run before we get caught by the Captain-nim!”

“What? Run? Why?”

“You dumbass! What do you think will happen if the Captain-nim finds out we are here!”

They then realized their mistake.

What was their mistake?

‘We lied to the Captain-nim to come here.’

Ju-Heon had ordered them not to make contact with John. But the team members needed to check something so they had lied to Ju-Heon before coming to the airport.

Ju-Heon might let many things go, but he did not forgive lies between team members.

Trust was an essential part of a team.

That was why......

‘We’re all going to be forced into some ‘mental training’ if we get caught!’

His face was pale and he urgently tried to escape from the airport.

However...

“!”

Ju-Heon was flicking his finger. He wasn't even looking at them.

Flick flick.

Come out.

All of you come out.

The team members started shaking in fear because that’s what Ju-Heon's back seemed to be saying to them.

He flicked his finger again.

Flick flick.

It seemed oddly more annoyed than before.

Get your asses out now.

‘Damn it, we’re fucked.’

“......Umm.”

While the team was at the airport... Joy was completely flabbergasted.

How could she not when the Allenby family were kneeling in front of her?

“Umm, what is going on right now?”

Her adopted parents along with her step sister Michelle slammed their heads against the ground to kowtow to Joy.

“W, we will do whatever you tell us to do!”

“Please don’t kill us. But we know we deserve to die!”

“Here! This is all of the money we took from you until now! And let us know if you need anything. We will do whatever you tell us to do!”

Joy could only tilt her head in confusion, wondering why these people were acting like this.

It truly was weird.

They suddenly apologized for every single terrible thing they had done for the past 10+ years and returned the money and items they had taken from her!

“We're sorry. We will pay you the interest for this money in the future!”

‘Did they all take drugs or something?’

After having all of their belongings sold, they pretty much had to sell the clothes on their backs to pay Joy back.

“Please take it! Pleeeeeeeeease!”

“......Did you all go crazy? Why are you all suddenly acting like this?”

They sobbed and peeked to the side. Chloe was there.

They were sending her gazes as if asking her permission to do something, but Chloe's eyes flashed as if to tell them ‘no way in hell.’

The way those intelligent blue eyes flashed resembled the gaze of a wild beast.

They shook in fear and slammed their heads down again.

“Please tell us to do anything you want! Pleeeeeeease!”

Joy suspiciously looked towar Chloe.

“It was Ju-Heon, wasn’t it. Ju-Heon must have done something weird.”

Chloe just smiled at her.

“No, not at all. The Captain-nim didn't do anything.”

“There’s no way. They don't seem injured but it feels like they have been tortured.”

She was right.

After leaving Pandora, Ju-Heon had shown the Allenby family a scary example of what could happen to them.

Chloe just fixed their external injuries so that they look fine. Basically, they looked fine on the outside but they were completely dying on the inside.

They were probably in a ton of pain. The Allenby family tried their best to escape, but...

This Chloe woman was no joke.

‘I thought she’d be easy to deal with since she was a doctor...!’

‘How is this young bitch so strong...?!’

This actually formidable doctor smiled coldly with her pretty face. She clearly remembered what Ju-Heon had told her.

‘The clean up starts after making them properly apologize to the victim.’

‘Yes Captain-nim, I will do as you ordered.’

‘The Captain-nim paid me handsomely for this. I guess I should work properly for the first time in a long while.’

She feigned ignorance and responded to Joy.

“They are fine. Miss Joy, all you have to do is accept their pure gestures of apologies. None of it will be an issue.”

Chloe smiled brightly but the Allenby family knew what would happen next.

They would be killed without Joy's knowledge after this.

They knew that this 'doctor’ was actually a devil wearing a white coat!

Chloe ignored them and just looked at the clock.

‘Will the Captain have taken care of things by now?’

He had said that he needed to grab John to ask him one single question.

‘I'm sure it’s fine.’

But forget being fine...

“Fuck, come on! Gungnir is too much!”

The other team members were in danger of being murdered by their Captain.

They didn't dare to come out even when Ju-Heon told them to do so, and the temperamental Ju-Heon had picked up Gungnir.

Ju-Heon was smiling brightly after being face to face with his team.

“So you guys... This is the courtroom, girlfriend’s grave, the gym, and your workroom? My kids have gotten better at lying I guess?”

Julian let out a fake cough as he responded.

"Actually, my client this time is based in Europe. The trial will take place in a different country so I had no choice but to come here to take a plane......”

“Bullshit. You haven't even gotten your law licenses abroad yet.”

“Ugh...”

“Well, whatever. It’s obvious you guys were trying to check on your former team member.”

He was looking at John.

“You guys probably couldn't accept the fact that I said I would kill him.”

The team was shocked.

“No, sir! It’s not that...we just wanted to check how dangerous he was before you, Captain-nim!”

“We just wanted to check if he really was that Samuel!”

“I just came here to kill him before you could do it, Captain.”

They all seemed to have their reasons.

It was at that moment.

"Aww, come on, Captain-nim. Don’t be like that. This Samuel just doesn’t have his memories yet.”

The wily Jaeha wickedly whispered.

“He might be in Pandora, but......if we restore his memories, he might become our ally like the rest of us, don't you think?”

He might be a great mole to strike Pandora.

“He could even bring the throne artifact if he becomes our ally. And that Round Table artifact. Why don’t we make him destroy that too? That artifact is the reason these shitheads without Heirlooms can talk about selecting a Monarch and acting all arrogant, isn't it? Let's smack those bastards from behind!”

It truly was an idea fitting a scammer. It wasn’t a bad plan.

John, who actually had very good hearing, just smiled after hearing Jaeha’s suggestion.

Why?

‘Good. It's going according to plan.’

Based on the pattern he expected, these bastards should use that Raven’s Tears or whatever.

They would try to make him join their team again.

John was actually pretending to be captured just for this moment. His right arm was gone but he wasn’t a noob who would be defeated because of that.

There was a blade in his neck but his holy artifact was healing the injury.

‘I'm just going to feign ignorance and have them use the Raven’s Tears on me.’

Then he would pretend to join their team and assassinate them.

‘It is ineffective to attack Seo Ju-Heon from the front.’

That wasn't all.

‘I'm also very interested in your Majesty's Treasure.’

John was secretly taking care of the Akashic records in the Vatican’s secret library.

Sadly, he didn't know how to use it.

‘Being next to this bastard might help me understand how to use a Treasure.’

John’s eyes secretly flashed.

‘So hurry up and use the tears! I'm just your former team member who doesn't remember anything. I'll act as if I just got my memories back so let me back on the team!’

But at that time...

“Look at this son of a bitch and his bad acting.”

John was shocked. But Ju-Heon stabbed his finger into the injury on John’s neck.

Puuk!

“Ugh...!”

He then scoffed.

"What’s wrong? Don’t you already remember us? You remember everything from when you were on our team as well.”
