Chapter 316: Dream-like Date 2

The team members couldn’t help but drop their jaws in shock . This really was unbelievable .

‘Why is the Captain-nim here?!’

They were sure that Ju-Heon had been asleep because of the artifact . They confirmed that he was deep asleep . So how?

‘That artifact shouldn’t have been easy to awaken from without meeting the conditions!’

It was an artifact that was said to put even the worst insomniacs to sleep peacefully . Of course, she set it for 100 hours and not 100 years .

Just like how Sleeping Beauty didn’t age for 100 years while she was asleep, this artifact keeps the person exactly as they were for 100 hours .

But in the process, it would remove any toxic things in their blood, clear their skin, and help the user recover!

Anyway, the sleeping Ju-Heon was here somehow . Then there was only one explanation .

“Were you only pretending to be asleep?”

Julian shouted as if he had expected that .

“Of course! There’s no way a monster like you would fall victim to an artifact!”

“Well, I slept well thanks to it . ”

“Slept well my ass!”

Ju-Heon smiled .

Actually, he had no intentions of doing this . Even if it was a bit, err, significantly dangerous, he was planning on meeting Zhen Cai Yuan .

He needed to gather all seven great artifacts to open the Crow’s tomb . In addition, there were many bastards who would have major headaches if he looted the impregnable Great Prison .

‘I need to see their asses on fire with my own eyes . ’

Not surprisingly, the biggest reason was that he was extremely greedy for those artifacts in the Great Prison .

He had planned on meeting with Zhen Cai Yuan to get the key to that prison when…

“C, Captain-nim, I’m really sorry!”

Seol-A had held onto him and apologized, but…

‘I’m not asleep, you little punk . ’

That artifact was actually one that did not work very well on men .

‘You’ll need a SS-Grade artifact at minimum if you want to put me to sleep . ’

Nonetheless, he pretended to be asleep on purpose .

He struggled in a different way since the rope kissed him quite a few times because it thought he was sleeping, but he continued to pretend .

He was curious to know what Seol-A was planning to do after working so hard to put him to sleep .

But what?

“Then I just need to transform into the Captain-nim and steal that artifact?”

Oh my, what a great surprise!

Ju-Heon was snickering while pretending to be asleep .

The date was his issue but how could he reject such helpful and considerate subordinates?

‘Only a terrible boss would reject such care from his subordinates . Yes, yes indeed . ’

A boss pretending to be asleep was probably an even worse boss, but anyway… He had kept his promise .

In addition, he was able to realize a couple things while tailing Zhen Cai Yuan .

For example, he learned some things about Zhen Cai Yuan’s artifact . He also learned about those bastards tailing them from outside the theatre .

‘I even found the bastards I wasn’t so sure about . ’

And then…

“Take care of all of them . ”

Ju-Heon’s eyes flashed and Anubis, the God of Death, who had been hiding in the shadows flashed his eyes as well .

[Pull out their hearts . ]

It was spoken in Ancient Egyptian .

[Get rid of their hearts so that they can’t even be weighed!]

They heard some screams from around the theatre .

“Ahhhhhhhh!”

Anubis’s mummy soldiers had popped out of multiple people’s shadows .

“Aaah!”

Each mummy had the head of a jackal and a human body . These mummy soldiers instantly took out curved swords and stabbed their enemy’s heart .

Puuk!

“Ahhhhhhhh!”

People all around the theatre started to fall down .

There were at least seven of them .

They surprisingly all had weapons . They were all killers observing Ju-Heon and waiting for a chance to kill him .

The Egyptians believed that a person needed their heart to go into the afterlife . Taking away someone’s heart was giving them the worst punishment ever .

Ju-Heon smiled .

‘I got rid of everybody who was tailing me now . ’

He had not been sure because these ones had been cleverly hiding among the regular civilians .

Ju-Heon finally took off the cap that was covering his face . His handsome face appeared and Ju-Heon smiled at Zhen Cai Yuan .

“Anyway, I did as promised . ”

The team members laughed in disbelief . As for Zhen Cai Yuan…she was enraged .

“You did as promised? What the fuck are you talking about when I went on a date with someone else……?!”

“I never said I would actually be with you the whole time . ”

“……!”

Zhen Cai Yuan seemed shocked .

But Ju-Heon completely feigned ignorance .

It wasn’t his original plan, but the plan ended up changing .

“I was still in the same theatre with you . We were in the same room so we were on a date together . ”

Zhen Cai Yuan’s eyes flashed .

“What kind of bullshit is that?!”

“If not, then…”

Ju-Heon got up and walked over to Zhen Cai Yuan .

“I don’t mind if we start our date now . ”

“!”

Zhen Cai Yuan’s face lit up . Seol-A gasped .

However…

“No . I don’t need a date . ”

“!”

Zhen Cai Yuan gave an unexpected response .

Everybody else was shocked .

‘Didn’t her face just light up when he said they could start their date?’

Julian turned serious .

“I guess her pride really was hurt . She went on a date with Jaeha after all . ”

Jaeha felt so, so wronged .

“What’s wrong with me? Why are you talking so much crap about me?! I’m actually quite popular if I go elsewhere…?!”

Ju-Heon looked at Zhen Cai Yuan suspiciously as well .

“I don’t need to go on a date with you?”

“That’s right . ”

Zhen Cai Yuan’s eyes flashed and she walked right up to Ju-Heon .

“Let’s do something even better . ”

“?!”

The ground underneath Ju-Heon’s team members suddenly disappeared .

“!”

They all fell in .

This was the power of an artifact .

That wasn’t all .

[A confined area is being created . ]

[A confined area is being created . ]

Zhen Cai Yuan started creating a space so that Ju-Heon could not escape .

And then…

“Aren’t dates supposed to end like this?”

An angry Zhen Cai Yuan was scowling as she grabbed Ju-Heon’s face .

“Yes, I should have done this from the beginning . ”

This date…she was doing things that weren’t like her . She just needed to eat Ju-Heon with the artifact of predation to make Ju-Heon’s artifact and Ju-Heon hers .

“Seo Ju-Heon, you are my enemy . ”

The male team members at the bottom of the pit turned pale .

“Even if she didn’t get to go on a date with him……?!”

“Ah, whatever! He brought it upon himself!”

“What do you mean, he brought it upon himself?! The Captain-nim will really get eaten at this rate!”

Seol-A quickly activated her Heirloom and tried to fly up .

Up on top, Ju-Heon was frowning as Zhen Cai Yuan’s face came closer .

“Do you really have the artifact from the Great Tomb?”

Zhen Cai Yuan felt upset at his cold tone .

How could he say such things in this sexy situation?!

“How do you never cha…”

“Shut up . ”

Ju-Heon’s eyes flashed .

“It looks like you have some memories of your past life . Hand that artifact over first if you want to be on good terms with me . ”

“……!”

Ju-Heon glared at the spider that was giving off its chaotic aura above Zhen Cai Yuan . The spider was thinking that this was the chance to eat Ju-Heon .

[Eat him . Eat him . ]

It’s disgusting legs and teeth were ready to capture and chomp on Ju-Heon and his artifacts .

Ju-Heon scoffed at it .

“Get rid of it . It’s been annoying me since before . ”

Zhen Cai Yuan hesitated before putting the spider away . It was almost done out of reflex .

The spider seemed shocked .

[What are you doing?]

Zhen Cai Yuan seemed to be doing her best to suppress the spider .

It was an act of betrayal for the spider .

[What the hell are you doing?]

The spider was baffled . On the other hand, Ju-Heon was smiling as if this was unexpected . He had just said that as an experiment .

‘This works?’

She shouldn’t be the type of woman who would listen to such things .

But he was not planning on missing this opportunity .

“I don’t want to be enemies with you either . ”

He then reached out his hand .

“We were enemies in the past but things can change . ”

His slightly gentler tone made Zhen Cai Yuan’s pupils start to shake .

His tone was the same as the first time they had met .

‘Damn it . ’

It was obvious what Ju-Heon wanted . He wanted to get into the last of the 7 Great Tombs . He wanted the artifact of gluttony . Getting that would mean that Ju-Heon got all seven artifacts from the Great Tombs .

And those seven artifacts were the keys to open the Great Prison . Inside that tomb were the Crow and many amazing artifacts such as the artifacts of the major gods .

However…

‘He can’t loot the artifacts in there . ’

There was an artifact that would make things difficult for her in there as well . There was also an artifact that could be a serious weakness for them . For China and the monopolizers…

For the Supreme Leader and Prometheus…

So she would have to be crazy to hand that key over .

Ju-Heon then said the following .

“Well, if you don’t want to then, whatever . ”

Ju-Heon nonchalantly closed his hand and Zhen Cai Yuan urgently grabbed his arm . It was a subconscious action as well .

Even she couldn’t believe what she just did .

The spider was grinding its teeth as it noticed her mind was a chaotic mess .

[Hurry up and kill him . Eat the Crow!]

The frustrated spider was urging Zhen Cai Yuan on .

She gulped . She then looked toward Ju-Heon .

“There is something I need to ask before that . ”

Ju-Heon frowned as if he was annoyed .

But he decided that she wouldn’t ask something that was difficult to answer .

“What is it?”

So he waited for her to ask . Zhen Cai Yuan’s face lit up a bit .

She had been wanting to ask Ju-Heon about this from the moment she regained her memories of the past .

She didn’t care about anything else .

There was just one thing . She had taken her own life in front of Ju-Heon . She had her reasons to do so, but anyway…

“Were you sad at all when I died?”

“………… . ”

Ju-Heon thought he had heard an extremely unexpected question . His gaze showed how shocked he was .

He soon sighed and turned around .

“I was wondering what you were going to ask . ”

An anxious Zhen Cai Yuan grabbed him tightly .

“I’ll give you the last key if you answer that question . ”

“!”

“Don’t you want the artifact from the last of the 7 Great Tombs?”

She seemed quite desperate .

As Ju-Heon contemplated for a bit and was about to respond…

“At that time……”

But at that moment…

[What the hell are you doing?!]

The spider couldn’t hold back anymore and exploded . It was to be expected .

It was annoying enough that she was ignoring its orders but what? She would hand him the artifact for such a stupid condition?

This was clearly an act of betrayal . It wouldn’t be weird for it to kill its contractor .

The spider exploded as if it decided humans truly were worthless .

Boom!

[A terrible Tomb Appearance is coming . ]

[A terrible Tomb Appearance is coming . ]

The entire theatre showed the precursors of a Disaster-Grade Tomb Appearance . Toombglyphs appeared on the ceiling and walls and the shape of the building started to change .

Ruuuuumble, ruuuuuumble!

The New York Times building turned into chaos . All of New York started to get swept up in the Tomb Appearance with Time Square at the center .

“Ahhhhhhhh!”

People screamed and started to run out of Manhattan .

The Broadway area with its bright signs and musical performances was instantly destroyed .

Seol-A, Jaeha, and Juilan, who had fallen into the pit, came up at that moment .

“Captain-nim!”

“Captain, this?!”

Julian was extremely shocked . This was not a regular Tomb Appearance phenomenon .

“This is the power of one of the 7 Great Tombs!”

It was as he mentioned . Ju-Heon looked around before starting to smile with amusement .

He had been suspicious about it for a while but……

“I guess the Gluttony from the 7 Great Tombs really is the Supreme Leader . ”
