Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Trampling those with Gold Spoons (3)

‘This . . . of all people!’

Colt guessed the identity of the female ghost .

He already heard from the inferior ghost that Sovereign Lucan had an advanced ghost called Hayun . He didn’t need to ask why she was here .

'Dammit! This is bad . She isn’t someone I can beat with my strength . ’

Normally Colt wouldn’t have jumped into this alley so carelessly . However, he had been so disappointed by Sovereign Herod that his judgement had blurred for a moment .

'Anyway, she should be avoided . ’

Colt immediately turned and ran towards Yugang building .

It was the territory of Sovereign Herod so he could survive if he reached it . The advanced ghost couldn’t chase him inside .

He only managed to get a few steps before being blocked by Hayun .

“Get lost!”

Colt grabbed a dagger and stabbed it towards Hayun’s neck .

“Bah!”

Hayun just snorted . She avoided the dagger and moved her arms around Colt like a snake .

Crunch!

“Ugh!”

Colt’s arm broke and the dagger dropped to the ground . Hayun then went behind Colt and grabbed his head .

Crunch!

"Kkuk!”

His neck was broken and Colt’s body slumped .

Hayun dragged Colt by his hair into the Dafeng building .

The inferior ghosts watching from a distance trembled with fear .

After a while, they arrived at Room 406 .

Kang-jun was resting after a shower when someone knocked on the door .

Knock knock .

“Who is it?”

“Hayun . I have him . ”

"Come in . "

Hayun opened the door and entered . Her hands were holding Colt’s bloody head .

Anyone seeing this scene would freak out . However, Kang-jun didn’t even blink .

It wasn’t surprising, but Hayun and Colt’s spiritual bodies couldn’t be seen by ordinary people . Even if Hayun could look human in the Dafeng building, there was no need to worry about this being revealed to others .

“What’s wrong with him . Is he dead?”

“I just briefly stunned him . ”

Although the neck was broken, a ghost couldn’t die . They needed to be destroyed .

"Wake up . "

Hayun snapped Colt’s neck back into place .

Crunch .

Colt’s body trembled . He painfully opened his eyes . His head was pushed back to reveal a surprisingly naive-looking youth in his early 20s .

“Ohh! T-this place?”

Colt gave a pained moan . Then he stared at Kang-jun with a shocked expression .

"Are you Sovereign Lucan?”

"That is what I am called . ”

"I can see a sovereign’s appearance with one glance . ”

Colt said while bowing .

"I can guess why you caught me . But don’t think that you will find anything out from me . I’m not a good person but I’m not bad enough to betray my lord . ”

Kang-jun simply stared at Colt .

"There is no need for anything else . I want to know the status of Herod’s troops . You will tell me . ”

“ . . . . . . ”

Colt didn’t say anything and closed his eyes . Hayun huffed angrily .

“Bah! I will show him an even more bitter taste . ”

Kang-jun raised his hand .

“Wait, Hayun . I will take care of Colt so don’t touch him . ”

“Yes . ”

Hayun nodded and stepped back . Meanwhile, Colt looked at Kang-jun with confusion .

"How did you know my name?”

"That isn’t the only thing I know . You are greatly disappointed with your lord, Herod . ”

“Heok! What on earth is going on?”

Colt’s eyes were startled .

Kang-jun had a strange smile on his face .

Just a moment ago .

[Your charisma has displayed an ability . ]

Surprisingly, this message had popped up the moment he saw Colt .

It was followed by . . .

[Colt is currently filled with anger and disappointment towards Sovereign Herod . ]

[In addition, Colt is impressed by your high charisma . ]

[If you show generosity to the impressed Colt then he will follow you . ]

Therefore, Kang-jun stopped Hayun from torturing Colt .

It was amazing no matter how he thought about it .

Why did this message appear? He had never seen it before .

‘It might be my rise in level . ’

It was possible considering Keirun’s words . He said that charisma would give Kang-jun specific strengths .

Whatever the reason, Kang-jun welcomed it . A new subordinate was a good thing .

Kang-jun immediately gave Colt a gentle gaze .

“Colt! Herod has failed you . He doesn’t deserve to be a sovereign . Why are you following such an unscrupulous person?”

In fact, Kang-jun didn’t know why Jung Kwang-hyeon was unscrupulous . He just said it based on the contents of the message .

That alone made Colt’s expression change to astonishment . Then he sighed with resignation .

"Phew! I really didn’t know he would do that type of thing . How dare he use black magic to enslave and rape innocent women! Sob! It is the one thing I can’t tolerate . ”

Colt cried out while shedding tears .

Meanwhile, Kang-jun’s expression had turned crazy .

“Jung Kwang-hyeon! That garbage fucker!”

Black magic energy could only neutralize a person . But using the punishment or battle fields could turn them into slaves .

Kang-jun knew about this more than anyone else .

Kang-jun never thought that Jung Kwang-hyeon would use it for such despicable goals . It would be the same in the future .

“Sob! I might be a ghost wandering the world, but I lived happily with my wife a long time ago . At that time, I was a knight . However, the lord that I served seduced my wife . I raised my sword towards the lord in resistance and ended up becoming a ghost . . . ”

Kang-jun listened to Colt’s story in silence .

Sometimes those in Hwanmong were from different worlds .

Colt had served sovereigns that were all different types of species . His cherished desire was to serve a good sovereign . Of course, Kang-jun had heard similar things from Keirun .

Anyway, it was easy to see why Colt was so furious and disappointed with Jung Kwang-hyeon .

‘Tsk . They are habits I can’t stand . ’

Jung Kwang-hyeon had charges for sexual assault and drug use before, and this unscrupulous behaviour had continued after he became a sovereign .

‘Just wait, Jung Kwang-hyeon . Sooner or later, I will send you to hell . ’

Right now, it was time to accept Colt as a subordinate . Kang-jun gave Colt a soft smile .

"How about it Colt? If you want, I will accept you into my household . ”

Colt’s eyes shook violently . He seemed genuinely distressed .

"Are you serious? You will really take me?”

“Of course . ”

At that moment .

[Colt has joined your household . ]

[Colt will become your faithful subordinate in the world of Hwanmong . ]

Kang-jun grinned .

"Colt, you are now part of my household . Don’t call that trash Herod your lord anymore . ”

"Yes, Lord . I will devote my loyalty to Lord . ”

Colt bowed with a tumultuous expression .

On the other hand, Hayun was watching with a surprised expression . In the end, she just smiled and said .

"Then he is my direct subordinate . Right?”

"Be nice . Don’t bother him unnecessarily . ”

Hayun might look innocent, but Kang-jun knew that the ghosts feared her for a reason .

Sure enough, Hayun gave Colt a sharp look .

"What are you doing? Report anything you know to Lord . ”

“Yes! I understand . ”

Colt proceeded to tell Kang-jun everything he knew about Herod .

The next day at 12 pm .

Jung Kwang-hyeon had spent a late night with Choi Mi-young and was only waking up now .

Choi Mi-young left in the morning . She probably had to work at the clinic downstairs .

Originally, he would have worried about Choi Mi-young pressing charges against him for sexual assault .

However, Jung Kwang-hyeon didn’t worry . She was currently a thoroughly subdued slave .

‘That damn Colt dared betray me!’

Jung Kwang-hyeon grinded his teeth together .

A message had appeared last night while he was busy with Choi Mi-young .

[Colt has left your household for Sovereign Lucan . ]

He had been engrossed in Choi Mi-young’s body at the time .

But now he was filled with angry thoughts .

‘Oduk! He left a golden spoon for someone covered in dirt?’

Jung Kwang-hyeon had an ominous feeling but shook his head .

‘Kul! Kuku! Those ridiculous bastards! I’ll show them who I am . All of them will bow like dogs before me . ’

He laughed at the thought of stepping on them like bugs .

After a while, Jung Kwang-hyeon stopped to get a cheque from the bank .

Today he would gain ownership of the Dafeng building . Interestingly, the owner of the goshiwon was the landlord .

‘Huhu, the owner of the goshiwon has decided to hand over the building . Then I will close down the goshiwon . ’

It would be easy to win the war in Hwanmong without shedding any blood .

He gave an elated smile as he drove towards the realtor’s office .

He braked and waited for the light to change .

Yiing!

His smartphone rang . The caller was the real estate agent . Jung Kwang-hyeon answered with a smile .

"Oh, I've almost arrived . I just stopped by the bank on the way . ”

-I am sorry, Boss-nim .

“Why are you sorry?”

-The owner of Dafeng has decided to think a little bit more about the contract .

“What? Why did their mind change all of a sudden?”

-I am embarrassed . It seemed that someone else offered the owner more money .

"Then we will also offer more money . Three billion won . I will give it without any conditions if the contract is signed today .

-My phone call isn’t being received . It seems like it will be hard to finalize the contract today . But don’t worry . I will somehow persuade them tomorrow or the day after . . .

"What are you on about? Are you going to be like this? Aren’t you receiving a commission fee? Don’t speak those words and sign the contract today . ”

-That is a little hard, Boss-nim .

"Shut up . You incompetent bastard . Just wait there . ”

He was furious at not being able to sign the contract today .

Jung Kwang-hyeon decided to use the punishment field .

‘I will step on that incompetent person . ’

Buaang!

He unconsciously stepped on the accelerator .

Kwaang!

This! The signal hadn’t changed yet . He hit the stopped car in front of him .

“Aaaah!”

Jung Kwang-hyeon wasn’t having a very good day .

In that time, Kang-jun sold socks at the market .

Today was his last day in that spot .

From tomorrow, he would be selling women’s underwear in the centre market that had a floating population that was 10 times more .

It cost 6 million a month .

It was expensive but he was fortunate to obtain such a good place . It was rare for such a position to be available .

At first, he had been against the idea of selling women’s bras and underwear . However, his thoughts changed after selling socks for the last 10 days .

There was no need to be embarrassed when it came to money .

In his experience, women in their 20s and 40s were normally hired to sell underwear . If Kang-jun used his skills then he would be able to obtain money from the customers .

Yiing!

At that moment, he received a phone call .

"Hello . "

-Yes, Boss-nim . This is the realtor Kim Seok-chul .

"How is it?"

-It is like Boss-nim said . The owner said they would wait a few days and won’t sign a contract with Jung Kwang-hyeon today .

"Thanks for the good work . "

Kang-jun smiled widely .
