I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 54
War Against Crime (3)
The situation on Yu Ji-a’s side was evenly matched.
The security company and four national team rankers were defending against the gang’s invasion.
About twenty gang members were also desperately throwing themselves into the fight.
“Ugh, disgusting bastards.”
Hong Ari frowned as she controlled her summoned creature and expressed her irritation.
“When they’re being pushed back, they should just give up on their own. Why are they being so persistent?”
Even though South Korea’s level was low, these were four national representatives.
If they were ordinary gangsters, they would have fled immediately after testing the waters briefly.
But these guys were somewhat strange.
They were trying to break through the encirclement and get inside the site by any means necessary.
More precisely, that apartment complex.
“They’re trying to target Player Baek Jin-woo’s parents!”
Yu Ji-a shouted urgently.
“They know that if it’s not this opportunity, the gang won’t be able to set foot on South Korean soil!”
There was no one in current South Korea who could face Baek Jin-woo with force.
This applied to rankers as well as gangs.
“Kill that bitch first!”
Swoosh!
One of the enemy’s summoned creatures leaped out and aimed for Yu Ji-a, but.
Crunch!
One of Orang’s wolves bit the summoned creature’s neck.
“Aren’t you underestimating us too much?”
Oh Sun-young’s voice was extremely cold.
That was her original personality.
If guild master Hong Ari was lively, then vice guild master Oh Sun-young’s nickname was Ice.
“Just holding out won’t be enough. Our Arirang Guild members are coming to support us.”
Flinch.
The gangsters trembled at those words.
Arirang was one of South Korea’s Big 3.
In comparison, their own members were lacking.
Even gang boss Jo Ji-hak wasn’t here!
‘Is it right to keep fighting like this?’
‘Soon the Headquarters will come, and Daeseong will come too… And now Arirang is coming too?’
‘This feels bad.’
They felt wronged.
When they received the information, they were told it would be easy to handle.
Baek Jin-woo was in Dubai, and most importantly, they were told there would be support from the 9th and 10th ranked players.
But what was this!
Support aside, why were Arirang executives standing firm here?
Not only that?
The Carpe Diem kids were running wild as if they were ghosts obsessed with combat.
“Kahahaha! Die, you bastards!”
“Yeah, you’re yawning? It’s boring? Fucking uninteresting? Pissing you off?”
Moreover, listening to those high schoolers’ provoking tone, their original low blood pressure was being completely cured.
‘Those bastards.’
‘Are they elementary kids? What the hell?’
Still, these twenty people here.
They were all players who were known for fighting.
They were famous names even within the cell-structured gang.
That’s why they could hold their ground against four national representatives like this.
However.
Gangs didn’t have very strong unity.
Rather than gathering with purpose, they gathered to fulfill personal greed, making it even more so.
“Hey, let’s just run!”
Finally, one person turned his back and prepared to flee.
“Jo Ji-hak. That bastard. He’s just throwing us away like chess pieces, so why should we fight with loyalty?”
It was the moment when the barely maintained balance began to crumble.
However, what they feared was.
Jo Ji-hak’s retaliation.
He wasn’t occupying the position of criminal organization leader for nothing.
Jo Ji-hak was vicious, gloomy, persistent, and frightening.
“I don’t know, fuck it! I’ll just leave South Korean soil!”
“Will leaving South Korea solve it? He’ll find us wherever we run in the world, right?”
“But thinking about it, that guy. Won’t he die to Baek Jin-woo?”
Yubaek.
And he had attacked his family too.
Any sane player wouldn’t leave Jo Ji-hak alone.
They would sharply draw their blade.
“That’s right! Okay!”
“I’m running too!”
“Me too!”
Everyone tried to leave the area while pulling out highly mobile summoned creatures, but.
It was already too late.
– Kiiiiiiiiiiiii!
The wyvern’s roar heard from far above in the sky seemed to pronounce doom upon those who were fleeing.
“Jin-woo!”
Yu Ji-a was the first to recognize him.
‘That Sky Wyvern.’
It was the one she had often petted while exercising together at the vacant lot.
– Kiiiii! Kiii!
The wyvern diving vertically from the sky above.
Despite the tremendous speed, Baek Jin-woo’s posture remained undisturbed.
The result of steady training and experience gained in high-level Weekly Dungeons!
“Pokryong.”
As Baek Jin-woo murmured.
– Yes, Jin-woo.
Pokryong, who had been tightly hugging his waist from behind, answered in a quiet whisper.
And then.
Whoooosh!
Pokryong Arts.
Secret technique.
Transform.
A massive fire wall began to surround the entire site.
The Pokryong faction that had been gathering flames burst into flames all at once.
“Kyaaak!”
“Wh-what!”
Naturally, the gang members’ summoned creatures couldn’t cross those flames.
Cross alone trusting in protective barriers?
It’s meaningless.
The moment they lose their available summoned creatures, getting caught is just a matter of time.
“Fuck!”
“Can’t escape?”
“What do we do? Fight again?”
“What fight again! That’s Baek Jin-woo! Baek Jin-woo!”
Gang members were also Players.
Funny enough, they had even felt national pride watching Baek Jin-woo’s activities.
They knew well that no matter how much they combined their strength, they wouldn’t be a match for him.
He’s the guy who crushed the domestic ranking 1st place in just 1 minute, after all.
Of course.
The time to contemplate whether to run or fight wasn’t very long either.
“Doldoli.”
– Kreurk…!
The speed of Doldoli bursting out with his scythe was absolutely insane.
Thanks to the stacks built up since before dining with Jasim.
Puk, chareurk! Puk, chareurk!
The invisible guy went down at tremendous speed, stabbed the summoned creature’s back with a puk, then chareurk! spun it around.
That was the end.
All nearby summoned creatures were torn apart like ripping paper.
– Kirarararara!
When the wyvern landed on the ground?
All the gang’s summoned creatures were already torn apart, and the gang members’ protective barriers were down.
Now they can’t cross that fire even if they want to.
“Cra, crazy.”
The one who cursed wasn’t a gang member.
It was Hong Ari, a national team member.
“Is that even human?”
She knew Baek Jin-woo was strong, but to slaughter all the gang members who were fighting evenly with the four of us as soon as he arrived?
They say twenty gang members, but in terms of summoned creatures, that’s a total of 300.
Since each person can summon 3 teams, that’s 15 each.
“…Certainly impressive.”
Oh Sun-young also muttered quietly.
“As expected of big brother Baek Jin-woo…!”
“Uwaa, you’re so cool!”
Gi Jae-hyeok and Kang Ji-ho gave thumbs up in delight.
‘Why are they here?’
Baek Jin-woo tilted his head briefly, but soon swept the surroundings with cold eyes.
The war isn’t over yet.
“Let’s subdue all of them first.”
The gang’s attack brought great shock to South Korea.
[Gang fearlessly attacks Yubaek! Hanam City, bloody war for about 20 minutes! All captured!]
[Gang terror results in 2 deaths, 5 seriously injured. All victims known to be security company-related Players.]
「Yu Ji-a expresses condolences to bereaved families. Will proceed with compensation.」
Public opinion instantly boiled over.
Isn’t the intention clearly visible!
└ Have these crazy bastards lost their minds;;?
└ They were trying to kidnap family now, right?
└ Nothing else to mess with so they go after Baek Jin-woo? You guys should never have touched Baek Jin-woo.
They were angry.
The only hope of the nation who would perform in this World League.
The gang had touched that.
Moreover.
[Shocking breaking news! Oh Ji-myeong, recruited by Park Ho-seop Gang!]
[Cafe near Hanam City attacked! The cause? Targeting Baek Jin-woo’s younger sister?]
[Female college student witness testimony: “Baek Jin-woo went swoosh! and they were subdued in 1 second.”]
└ Wow.
└ Crazy psychopaths;;?
└ Why suddenly sell out the country when things were going well.
└ Because they got beaten in the Multi-player Tournament last time?
└ No way. That would make them too pathetic as people.
└ Reality is I got eliminated in 1 second even after coming out lol I actually lasted longer in the group battles though?
All 23 gang members were caught at the scene.
Their eyes were covered and hands tied behind their backs so they could never summon again (to summon creatures, you need to click Y with your gaze or fingers), and they were confined in a heavily guarded place.
And.
As expected, Baek Jin-woo was extremely angry.
[Baek Jin-woo’s statement released! Declares war on gangs, will root out crimes committed in South Korea!]
[Head of Player Association decides to fully support Player Baek Jin-woo’s intentions!]
└ Kya!
└ When Baek Jin-woo says that, it’s really scary;;?
└ The gang kids must be pissing themselves…
└ Did you see his expression when making the statement in front of reporters? That expression was chilling.
└ He has every right to be angry. They didn’t even attack directly but cowardly tried to touch his family.
└ Jo Ji-hak is screwed;;?
Baek Jin-woo even said.
Players who belong to gangs or have ever belonged to them…
He’ll give them one day, so within that time, turn yourselves in and pay for your crimes.
He’ll leave it to imagination what will happen if the deadline passes.
└ So cool.
└ For real. The guy is just charismatic.
└ We don’t have to tremble because of gangs anymore?
└ Don’t know yet. Jo Ji-hak, that guy isn’t ordinary.
└ What if it’s not just a regular bet? The opponent is Baek Jin-woon lol, some 30th-ranked nobody.
└ Jo Ji-hak doesn’t know either. Just like how non-ranker Baek Jin-woo flies around.
And at that moment.
Baek Jin-woo was meeting Park Chang-seok at headquarters.
After establishing Yubaek, he had become quite close with Park Chang-seok.
Meeting and talking frequently, they naturally became comfortable with each other.
“You’re really going through a lot. This is all work the headquarters should be doing.”
Park Chang-seok smiled bitterly.
The executive-level members captured this time alone number over ten.
What the headquarters couldn’t achieve despite three years of backbreaking effort, Baek Jin-woo accomplished in one day.
“No, you’re the one going through a lot, sir.”
“Right, you want to meet the prisoners?”
“Yes.”
Baek Jin-woo didn’t smile.
His expression didn’t soften either.
Park Chang-seok let out a light breath.
“…You can’t kill them.”
Originally, gang members deserve summary execution.
However, these were executives.
Since there was a lot of information to extract from them, he was keeping them alive for now.
There was also much work to be done, such as stealing the summoned creatures and items they possessed.
“Yes, they absolutely must not die.”
Baek Jin-woo smiled slightly.
At that sight, Park Chang-seok felt a slight chill.
What was that supposed to mean?
That he couldn’t kill them easily?
“Nothing will happen. You said you’d help.”
“Right, right.”
Park Chang-seok had already taken care of everything.
Headquarters had decided to follow Baek Jin-woo’s will.
After all, these were people he had captured.
Whether he roasted them or boiled them, frankly, it was his freedom.
“Go in.”
“Yes, uncle.”
“Mmmmph!”
“Mmph! Mmmmph!”
In the well-equipped Isolation Cell, 23 prisoners were separated and confined.
The Isolation Cell was made of sturdy steel, and all of them had their eyes covered, mouths gagged, and limbs tightly bound.
Human rights?
What human rights could there be for dangerous elements who could handle summoned creatures?
There was no administrator.
Park Chang-seok had requested just one hour of privacy.
“Hunkyo.”
– Yes, my lord.
Swoosh!
Hunkyo was summoned.
Ever since his awakening last time, he had been so reliable.
Even without Ramba building stacks separately, was there anyone who could defeat him currently?
Even Rachel would have a hard time, wouldn’t she?
He thought.
The yin energy of the Nine Yin Meridian Pulse was that sweet.
“You said it. That you could extract all the information.”
– That is correct, my lord.
Hunkyo nodded his head.
In his mind, there was information that could teach even the world’s greatest torturer (A-rank), and he possessed all kinds of torture methods from martial artists, from basic pressure points to bone-breaking techniques.
Manipulating these weak-willed humans was no work at all.
– Shall we proceed immediately?
At Hunkyo’s question, Baek Jin-woo slowly nodded his head.
