Skill Devouring to the 666th Floor Episode 116
116. Something I Want to Ask
Until he became an Apostle, Wang Ho Wei’s life had been a smooth path itself.
From the moment he entered the underworld, his skills were recognized, and he quickly rose to the position of second-in-command.
If it weren’t for the corpses Wang Ho Wei had piled up, Sun Gang’s underworld organization wouldn’t have grown to its current size.
But.
‘I was so loyal to him… and he betrays me?’
After the Labyrinth incident, Sun Gang became afraid.
Afraid that Wang Ho Wei, who had awakened as an Apostle and was growing overwhelmingly powerful, might betray him.
Afraid that he would become uncontrollable.
So he gathered those who had become Apostles to form the Ten Strongmen, and began preparing to push Wang Ho Wei out.
There was no way the sharp-witted Wang Ho Wei wouldn’t notice this fact.
‘You want to push me out of the organization? Then you’ll have to die.’
Strike first before being struck.
He carefully planned his counterattack, and though there were twists and turns involving Amon in the process, he ultimately succeeded.
He killed all of the Ten Strongmen and even killed Sun Gang to claim the position of leader.
However, even so.
The emptiness in his heart wasn’t easily filled.
‘What is this? Why am I feeling like this?’
He could have returned to his home country to live as the leader of the underworld, but Wang Ho Wei deliberately stayed in Korea.
He didn’t know the reason himself.
He just didn’t want to go back.
‘Amon… I need to get my dagger back from that guy.’
Wang Ho Wei decided to find Amon to reclaim his dagger.
No, the dagger was just an excuse – he might have wanted to meet Amon once more.
But.
‘Where am I supposed to find Amon? I don’t know jack shit about him.’
Having no method, he could only wander aimlessly.
While staying in Korea for several days like this.
[Shocking! Savior Amon Confirmed to Establish Guild Under His Own Name]
[Official Guild List Released, New Guild Registered Under ‘Amon’ Name Becomes Hot Topic]
[Mysterious Amon Guild, Is This Really the Savior’s Move? Or Impersonation?]
[Exclusive! Han So Ra’s Supporters Confirmed to Accept Amon Guild’s Proposal and Join!]
[Supporters Agency CEO Kwon “Decided to Recruit New Male Guild Member…” Identity to be Revealed in 21st Floor Video!]
He saw the articles.
‘Amon… created a guild?’
The name was simple too.
Amon Guild.
He searched to find the location.
And it actually came up.
‘Is this it? The place where that guy is?’
Wang Ho Wei’s eyes flashed as he had been wandering aimlessly.
He had finally found Amon.
He wasn’t going there with some petty desire for revenge.
There was something he wanted to ask Amon.
So Wang Ho Wei made his way to the office with the Amon Guild signboard.
Click!
When he opened the door, he saw dozens of people in the spacious office.
They were so massive they could be mistaken for underworld organization members.
“Oh, welcome!”
“，？(I came looking for Amon, is he here?)”
No one answered.
They were just flustered.
“What, what? Is he Chinese?”
“Hey, quick, turn on the translation app.”
“Should we call the action squad leader too?”
“Yeah, do that. Since they’re both Chinese, they should be able to communicate.”
The thugs moved around busily.
Wang Ho Wei looked at them one by one.
From what he could see, Amon wasn’t here.
“This is really Amon Guild, right?”
“Yes, of course. This is Amon Guild. You’ve come to the right place.”
The person who turned on the translation app.
Finally they could communicate.
“Please sit over here.”
Following the guidance, he sat on the sofa.
It had been days since he’d sat on such a soft sofa.
Having slept on the ground every night, his body felt drowsy.
“You look tired. Rest for a bit and the manager will come. Please wait just a moment.”
“Got it.”
At the thug’s words, Wang Ho Wei closed his eyes comfortably and took a rest.
Just as drowsiness was about to pour over him.
The door that burst open woke him from his brief sleep.
“Ah, why do I have to keep going back and forth? You guys can just handle it yourselves with the translation app…”
His eyes met with the man who entered.
It was a familiar face.
“You’re… Liu Weihao?”
“This bastard, why are you here?”
“That’s what I should be asking. Ah! Since you’re Amon’s lackey, I suppose it makes sense you’d be here.”
“What did you say?”
Wang Ho Wei knew from what he’d heard before.
That this guy was being blackmailed into playing Amon’s underling.
Combining the information he’d heard previously with the attitude this guy showed toward Amon, it was certain.
That’s why he knew well that such words would get under his skin.
“Amon’s lackey. Go bring Amon here.”
“You son of a bitch, you want to die!”
As he got excited and tried to rush forward, those around stopped him.
“Whoa! S-stop it, Action Squad Leader!”
“What are you doing right now?”
“Do you two know each other?”
Thanks to that, bloodshed didn’t occur.
Weihao calmed his excitement for a moment.
Wang Ho Wei also wanted to avoid unnecessary fighting, so he didn’t provoke further.
“Where’s Amon? Bring him here right now.”
“Fuck, who are you to come here and give orders? Besides, does Amon look like someone idle enough to come running at your call?”
“Huu.”
He wouldn’t listen obediently.
Then?
‘Do I have no choice but to make him submit?’
He smiled with murderous intent in his eyes.
“Can’t be helped.”
Wang Ho Wei tried to take out a blade from his inventory.
At that moment.
‘Oh right, Amon took it?’
The fact that he had no weapon came to mind.
The quick-witted Weihao couldn’t miss that sight.
“What are you doing? Waving your hand in the air? Aha? Trying to take out a dagger to slit my throat? But what can you do? Amon took your weapon.”
“…”
“So that’s why you came? To ask for your dagger back? Keke. Anyone would think it’s a famous sword, you crazy bastard. Making a fuss over one shitty dagger.”
“That doesn’t seem like something a guy without weapons should say?”
“Who says I don’t have weapons?”
Weihao smugly took out items.
Swoosh!
Not just one, but two.
“You don’t have anything like this, right?”
“…”
He held two long swords, one in each hand, and waved them around, which honestly pissed him off.
It was also enviable.
“Did Amon give them to you?”
“What…?”
“That’s right, isn’t it? Where would you get weapons like that? Two of them, no less.”
“I-I could get them too!”
“Besides, why would someone who uses telekinesis use long swords? Do you even know how to use a sword?”
“This bastard… are you looking down on me right now?”
“Yeah. I’m looking down on you. At least in swordsmanship, you wouldn’t be a match for me, right?”
“Fine, if you’re so confident, let’s fight. Take this!”
Weihao threw one of the long swords to him.
Wang Ho Wei grinned wickedly.
‘Just because I provoked him a little, he’s handing over an item. How simple.’
Well, he probably didn’t need it anyway.
What use would weapons be to someone who crushes people’s heads like potatoes with telekinesis?
‘Still, I need to subdue him.’
Shall we see how this goes?
As he gripped the long sword and took his stance, Weihao’s eyes widened.
“Hey, don’t cheat by using skills, okay?”
“You’re banned from using telekinesis too.”
“Of course. Telekinesis would be wasted on someone like you.”
“Come at me. Let me see Amon’s lackey’s skills.”
“This bastard!”
Weihao charged forward like fire.
And so the blade dance began.
Clang!
Clank!
“Ugh, this is terrifying.”
“Why the hell are they fighting here?”
“That’s what I’m saying. They should go outside to fight…”
“Shouldn’t we call Boss Hee Seong?”
A fight between Apostle and Apostle.
So fast it was hard to follow with the eyes.
The organization members watched from a distance, afraid of getting caught up in it.
Then.
“Wang Ho Wei?”
The organization members felt relieved.
Because their boss had appeared.
‘Why are those bastards fighting?’
I had come to show Jason around the guild, but ended up witnessing an unexpected fight.
“Everyone stop moving. Anyone who moves dies.”
When I spoke in Chinese, both of them stopped without hesitation.
I glared at Weihao first.
“Weihao. What are you doing right now?”
“Uh… you came?”
“I asked what you’re doing.”
“No, this bastard suddenly came and started picking a fight!”
This time I turned my gaze to Wang Ho Wei.
“What brings you here?”
“Who are you?”
Ah, he’s never seen Kang Hee Seong’s face, right?
Since none of the organization members had their translation app on anyway, I honestly revealed myself in Chinese.
“I am Amon.”
“Amon… you say?”
“That’s right.”
“Can you prove it?”
Proof, huh.
There was no real need to do it, but it wasn’t difficult either.
Whoosh—
All I had to do was take out Wang Ho Wei’s dagger from my inventory.
“Does this prove it?”
“Th-that’s my…”
“Don’t tell me you came here to get this back?”
Wang Ho Wei was silent for a moment, then shook his head.
“No, I came because I wanted to ask you something…”
“What is it?”
The guy hesitated about what to say, then finally opened his mouth.
“I want to… join the guild.”
“What guild? Our guild?”
“Yes… Can I join too? Amon Guild? That’s what I wanted to ask.”
He didn’t come to retrieve his dagger, but to join the guild?
“Are you serious?”
“I am.”
“You’re not joining with the purpose of stabbing me in the back, are you?”
“No, absolutely not.”
[The target is telling the truth.]
At least it wasn’t a lie.
Meaning it wasn’t because of petty emotions like revenge.
‘Then, why?’
I was puzzled, but on one hand I could understand.
Because I remembered what Wang Ho Wei had said in my previous life.
—I know too, that I’m a bastard who bit the hand that fed me. But now I understand. It was all meaningless. The world is vast and there are many strong people.
‘He definitely said something like that back then.’
Wang Ho Wei probably felt despair after seeing other Twelve Apostles like Joshua.
Maybe he felt emptiness knowing that no matter how much of a top dog he became in his own world, he could never be number one among the Twelve Apostles.
‘So that’s why he wants to join the guild? Because he wants to become stronger?’
Now that I look at it, it seems I’ve caught his attention after achieving the goal of becoming number one.
You could say reality hit him, perhaps?
‘If Wang Ho Wei joins… it would certainly be reassuring.’
Somehow it feels like the former Twelve Apostles are gathering together.
“Alright. I’ll allow you to join.”
“…Really?”
“Yeah. But from now on, use formal speech. I’m the guild master here.”
“Got i… I understand.”
“And one more thing.”
I pointed at Weihao and put force into my gaze.
“Don’t fight with each other.”
