CHAPTER 9

CHAPTER 9

He stated the same thing once more, this time adding, "I was asking you a question, bro. Are you deaf?” as though Yujin had not even heard of the matter.

Because Yujin finds the other guy's approach to be ostensibly too annoying and at the same time too carefree as well, Yujin then abruptly gave him a shrug as if trying to inflict sarcasm over the other guy's question before he responded, "Who knows, maybe yes or maybe no."

However, Yujin was caught off guard when the other guys' friend suddenly struck him in the face with a blow that was quite forceful. Because it was so intense, Yujin came dangerously close to losing his balance. 

Yujin was almost exactly the same height as the man who punched him in the face. The man who did it was just a hair taller than Yujin himself. In addition to this, he had a solidly built body that was even more impressive than Yujin's..

Even if that turned out to be the case, Yujin did not show the slightest sign of wavering in his standoff with the man who punched him.  Yujin instead demonstrated to the guy that he was not even worthy of the name "famous delinquent boy in the institution" for nothing at all.

Yujin did not waste any time and went straight ahead to seize the other man's head in an instant. After Yujin immediately slammed his forehead against the other man, he immediately knocked him unconscious before the other man even had a chance to get away from Yujin's grasp.

Yujin's force was so powerful that the other people who witnessed it couldn't even believe what they saw after the other man actually lost consciousness as a result of being knocked out instantly by that action from Yujin. They just couldn't believe what they saw.

After that, there was a brief period of silence, and Yujin had already prepared himself for an ambush from the man's other friends. However, Yujin had not anticipated that what the man's other friends would do instead would be to laugh at the fallen man.

The first guy who had approached Yujin earlier and asked him who had killed the S-tier monster unexpectedly came forward and approached him once more. He exclaimed in a startled manner, "Amazing!" while simultaneously clapping his hands incessantly.

Yujin had a hard time getting rid of the preconceived notion that this other person had some hidden agenda that he couldn't just ignore. Even though the guy wasn't doing anything other than actually keeping the sarcasm of the way he greeted Yujin, it wouldn't be safe for Yujin to believe that he could be harmless in comparison to his comrade. 

As a result, Yujin never again relaxed his vigilance under any circumstances. It would be prudent to at least prepare for the possibility that this individual might also decide to attack Yujin at the same time.

Yujin reasoned that it would be for the best if he made it a point to keep an eyewatch not only on this individual but also on the other people who were with him. In addition to the man who was still unconscious after Yujin had knocked him out, there was also the woman who was standing behind the man who was currently in front of Yujin.

She was just standing off to the side and staring at Yujin from quite a distance from where Yujin is at the moment. There is no indication that she intended to attack Yujin in the same manner as her comrade, who is still unconscious, did. Neither has she given any indication that she intended to do so.

When compared to the other two men, Yujin couldn't help but feel a little bit more curious about her. However, he tried his best to suppress this feeling. In contrast to the other two men, she exudes a calmer and more relaxed atmosphere. Despite the fact that it may still be too soon to pass judgment, Yujin had the impression that the woman would not pose as much of a danger to him as the other two.

Even though Yujin appeared to have no hesitation when it came to fighting anyone or anything, be it men or women, this woman was in some way distinct from the others in comparison to the others. Yujin did not know much about her, particularly because the lower portion of her face appeared to be concealed by a mask, giving the impression that she was some kind of assassin.

The other guy, who was just clapping a moment ago, abruptly began to talk to Yujin, which caused Yujin's attention to be diverted away from her. 

"I see that you are the one who put an end to the beast. How were you able to do it?” he asked.

Yujin was not the type of person who enjoyed engaging in friendly conversation, especially with unknown people. He would either ignore them and walk away from the situation or simply answer them in a brief manner in order to get it over with as quickly as possible.

However, it appeared that Yujin had already assumed that the guy wouldn't stop insisting that Yujin speak up even if Yujin chose not to speak to him. This was the case despite the fact that Yujin had chosen not to speak to him. People who are obnoxious and persistent, such as the individual who just asked Yujin to have a conversation with him right now, are the kind of people that Yujin frequently despises.

When things got to be like this, Yujin's desire to escape the predicament and start over became overwhelming. But before Yujin could even turn around a second time, something unexpected happened. The other man made an effort to dissuade Yujin from leaving by either directly questioning him or, more likely, making an offer to Yujin to participate in some kind of a transaction that he was positive Yujin would immediately accept.

"Exactly what is it?" Yujin asked in a terse manner when he would be able to focus exclusively on the first side.

After hearing that Yujin had requested it, the other man eventually flashed a sly grin in Yujin's direction. 

When the other man eventually responded, "well, I have a deal between you and me whom you should better that no one else may know if this," Yujin's eyes somehow widened as he read this.
