Overgeared - Chapter 626

Chapter 626

XX city, XX district .

It was originally a very quiet neighborhood located on the outskirts of Seoul . It was the level of a village with simple facilities and farming fields .  However, the atmosphere of the neighborhood changed drastically since Overgeared King Grid built the 10 billion won Youngwoo Building .

If people went there, they could see Grid! People filled with anticipation started gathering in XX District and the people of XX District started trading with them . Seven months after the Youngwoo Building was constructed, XX District was able to grow into the busiest area in XX City .

Some citizens felt so grateful they argued that the name of XX should be changed to the Youngwoo District .

***

The Youngwoo Building had a low number of floors, but a luxurious appearance . Only expensive materials were used and a world famous architect designed the building . It cost 10 billion won for a reason .

In front of Youngwoo’s Building .

“This is Grid’s building . ”

"I want to see Grid’s roof penthouse . ”

“Let’s look around . Do you intend to just go back after coming all the way here?”

Chinese tourists were gathered .  They were the main culprits who spat and left cigarette butts all over XX District . The merchants around the Youngwoo Building looked at them with uneasy eyes .

"They want to go into Youngwoo-ssi’s building . . . ”

“It’s possible . Not all Chinese people are like this, but the majority of Chinese tourists are famous for not having common sense . They don’t care about signposts forbidding entrance . ”

“Maybe . . . They want to interfere with Youngwoo-ssi’s game?”

For the residents of XX District, Shin Youngwoo was their hero and benefactor .  Thanks to Youngwoo, the local commercial district developed and they were able to accumulate wealth . Of course they loved him . The merchants wanted to help Youngwoo and approached the Chinese tourists .

"Tourists, this building is mainly used as an officetel, except for the cafes and restaurants on the first floor . ”

"Tourists shouldn’t be blocking the elevator entrance for the residents . ”

"What are these Koreans saying?”

"We can’t enter the building?”

"What’s with these guys?”

The eyes of the Chinese tourists turned nasty . They stared angrily at the residents trying to protect Youngwoo’s privacy .

"What right do you have to interfere with us?”

“Koreans really don’t understand! They’re just small village people!”

“Uhh . . . ”

The merchants shrank back as the atmosphere started to turn ugly .  There were many Chinese tourists and the impression they gave off was terrible . In the first place, it wasn’t good to get tangled up with people who had no common sense . At that moment .

“What’s happening?”

A beautiful girl in a school uniform appeared .  She had milky white skin, a small face, and slender limbs in the ratio of a model . Her identity was Youngwoo’s younger sister, Sehee .

"Ruby . . . !"

“Saintess Ruby!”

"She’s no different from her appearance in the game!”

"It’s the color of South Korea!”

The Chinese tourists became excited . They rushed towards Sehee .

“Signature!”

“Can I have a photo?”

"Shake hands . . . ! No, let's hug!!”

It was complete chaos . Almost 50 Chinese tourists surrounded the small and fragile girl .

“S-Sehee . . . !”

The merchants paled . They tried to protect the frightened Sehee, but they were pushed aside by the Chinese tourists .

"Kyaaak!”

The moment that Sehee screamed as she was forcibly embraced by a Chinese man .

Kkiiik .

“ . . . ?!”

There was a large luxury car that could be seen in movies .  A limousine more than 10 meters long appeared beside the Chinese tourists . The Chinese tourists were surprised and focused on the limousine .

"I’m quickly becoming mad . ” (TL: This is Chinese written in Korean . I guessed the meaning based on googling, but might not be completely accurate . )

A man emerged from the limousine and glared at the Chinese tourists with cold eyes .  It was fearsome killing intent . His sharp look seemed to piece the hearts of the Chinese tourists like a dagger .

“H-Hao . . . !”

The Chinese tourists confirmed the identity of the man and were astonished .  The miracle of the continent, Hao .  Why was the best Chinese ranker in South Korea? The Chinese tourists wondered if this was a dream as Hao moved to protect Sehee .  

"Making a fuss when visiting a foreign land . . . Don’t you know that your unreasonable behavior affects all of us? Get out of here before I call the embassy to get rid of you . ”

“Ugh . . . ”

Hao was someone who couldn’t be ignored in China .  There was a rumor that even the president was Hao’s fan . Hao’s influence was enough to reach the embassy .  The Chinese tourists started to run away .  In addition, today’s event would be published as an article in China . It claimed that the Chinese should no longer disgrace their country when visiting other countries, which led to the disappearance of the noisy Chinese tourists in front of Youngwoo’s building .

“Are you okay? Miss Ruby?”

Hao asked in awkward Korean . Sehee nodded . Her big eyes made her look like a small and cute squirrel .

“Thanks to you . ”

“It’s very fortunate . ”

Hao looked at Sehee with a gentle expression .  He might’ve met many beautiful women in China, but it was a rare experience to see a woman as beautiful as Sehee . It was inevitable that he would like her . Sehee thought he was gentle like her brother and felt comfortable with him .

“By the way, why are you in South Korea?”

"It’s because I want to talk to Grid about Kraugel . ”

“Kraugel . . . ”

The sky above the sky who her brother had a fierce struggle with twice .  Sehee recalled his desperate desire to treat his mother’s illness and flushed . Like most women, Sehee was instinctively attracted to a charming man like Kraugel .

Hao asked, “Is Grid home right now?”

"Yes . Did you have an appointment?”

“Of course . But I arrived 1 hour and 15 minutes earlier than scheduled . ”

“Oh my . . . Then you’ll have to wait until the promised time . My older brother is living on a strict schedule . He won’t log out of the game until the promised time, even if a knife is held to his neck . Well, there’s a lot to do since he became a king . ”

“Yes . . . ”

He visited on his own, but wasn’t he still the best ranker of China? Sehee laughed at the embarrassed Hao .

"When the mayor visited, he had to wait for three hours . ”

" . . . Is the coffee at this cafe delicious?”

"I'm still a student and I don’t drink coffee, so I don’t know . But the sweet potato latte is delicious . ”

“I see . . . I will wait while drinking the sweet potato latte . ”

Indeed, Grid was now one of the busiest people in the world . Hao understood and decided to sacrifice some of his precious time today .

*** 

Earl Bruno’s mansion . It was the second largest building in Frontier .  Grid confirmed the size of the mansion and realized Earl Bruno’s position in Frontier .

‘My father-in-law’s right hand man lives in such a stately place . ’

Indeed, he was a great person, since he was favored by Duke Steim .

Grid greatly anticipated his encounter with Earl Bruno, one of the nobles who supported the Overgeared Kingdom . Earl Bruno was in charge of Frontier’s affairs and probably knew where Fatima were .

“Who?”

Guards stopped him as Grid approached the entrance of mansion . Unlike ordinary people, Grid wandered around without fur clothing, making him look odd .

‘What? Doesn’t he feel the cold?’

'It might be a humanoid monster . ’

The guards were alert! Grid confirmed the state of the spears they were pointing and felt proud .

‘The soldiers of the north are superior to soldiers of other kingdoms . ’

There truly were many monster habitats in the area . It was clear that Duke Steim concentrated on training and arming his soldiers, making them a solid force of the Overgeared Kingdom .

“Who are you?”

Grid wasn’t cold and his face was covered by a wide brimmed hat . Rather than being afraid of the guards, he watched them closely . Now he smiled in the darkness, causing the guards to feel fear .

‘Whoops . ’

Grid realized that the guards were terrified and took off his hat . His black hair was revealed and shone in the moonlight .  

“ . . . King Grid?”

The guards lost their souls . It was surprising and absurd that the king who was their master’s target would appear here .

"Open the gate . ”

“Heok . . . ! Y-Yes!”

The king exercised unconditional influence in his own territory . Overgeared King Grid used his absolute power and the guards opened the gate to the mansion .

*** 

The torture room underneath Earl Bruno’s residence .

"Ugh . . . S-Stop . . . Please stop . . . ”

Had it already been a few days?  After a few days and nights of torture, Fatima’s mental strength reached its limit .  Fatima couldn’t withstand the pain anymore . He wanted to put an end to this suffering . Earl Bruno smiled after recognizing that Fatima was waving the white flag .

“Have you finally decided to hand over your underwear making method?”

"I will hand it over . But . . . ”

"But what?"

"Outstanding skills are required in order to make functional underwear . Not just anyone can acquire the production method . ”

“There are good tailors all over the continent . Sir Fatima, don’t think that you are special . ”

"Kuoh . . . ”

Fatima was Frontier’s best tailor . He was proud, since he couldn’t find a better tailor than himself in the Overgeared Kingdom .  Fatima’s pride as a tailor was enormous . Yet Earl Bruno damaged Fatima’s pride . This was an incalculable wound that was incomparable to the physical suffering felt when being whipped .

"Hoh, what is with that rebellious look? You still haven’t had enough?”

Earl Bruno once again raised the whip .

“E-Earl Bruno!”

At that time, the basement door opened without permission and the butler ran in .  He looked like he had seen a ghost and Earl Bruno frowned .

“What’s the fuss? Don’t tell me that Grid came to my house?”

"T-That's right!”

“Eh? Haha, what a funny joke . ”

“R-Really! King Grid has arrived!”

"What?”

Earl Bruno got goosebumps .

'Grid . . . ! He acquired information that I’m the head of the Anti Grid Alliance and came to take care of me!’

Grid’s intelligence network was beyond imagination . No matter how Earl Bruno hated Grid, he had to acknowledge Grid .

‘He’s a king for a reason . A great figure that far exceeds my imagination . ’

Kwaduduk!

Earl Bruno didn’t think his tail would be caught so quickly by Grid . He left the basement with a sour expression .

"Gather the entire army . If I have to die, I will die with Grid . ”

On the other hand, Fatima was left alone and felt infinite affection and respect for Grid whom he had never met .

“I didn’t think the king would come to rescue me . . . If I survive today, I will be loyal to him for the rest of my life . ”
