You Will Be Blessed If You Do Good Deeds¿ - Chapter 116

It was in the blink of an eye that Yoo Han-ul cleared up the situation.

Some people, who like to compare things easily by numbers, often say that twenty mid-tier hunters can take on one high-level hunter.
On average, considering their stats, that might sound plausible.
âUrrrghhh!â

âStop, stop! I surrender!â
But unfortunately, such figures are quite far removed from reality.
It's the trap of statistics, you could say.

Yoo Han-ul was like a bowling ball knocking over pins without mercy.
The pins fell, and the ball knocked them down. The pins could only stand there, having no ability to break the ball in the first place.
No matter how many pins there are, they can't hold up.

âDonât come any closer!â
This would be the feeling of humans facing a natural disaster.
Yoo Han-ul easily subdued Jamesâ subordinates.

âThatâs impossible!â
James Chen, whose eyes were bloodshot, screamed.
With his hands tied behind his back, face pressed into the ground, he looked utterly ridiculous.

It was the result of Yoo Han-ulâs surprise attack, stunning James.
The confusion on Jamesâ face was evident, having been subdued so easily.
âWhy are you here?!â

Yoo Han-ul, an S-rank hunter, was an anomaly even among other S-rank hunters.
Yet here he was.
To be honest, from the moment Yoo Han-ul showed up, it was clear that the outcome of this battle was decided no matter what James had planned.
That's the nature of veteran S-rank hunters.

âWhy the hell would you help Layla Lopez? Whatâs in it for you?!â
This was completely unexpected.
Who would have thought Yoo Han-ul would interfere in this situation?!

James Chen had met Yoo Han-ul several times before.
Thatâs why he knew just how wide the gap was between himself and Yoo Han-ul, or even between himself and ordinary people.
âLopez kidnapped hunters from your country!â

âThatâs exactly what Iâm saying.â
Jeong Da-on⦠no, Han Jae-young, who had transformed into Jeong Da-onâs appearance, nodded.
âI think the same. Why bother getting involved in this pathetic fight?â

ââ¦What?â
âBut our princess seems to have other plans.â
Jeong Da-onâs words made sense.

Since her awakening, hadnât she been dragged into countless incidents?
The root cause of all these events was that Jeong Da-on had been underestimated.
If that was the case, then she had no choice but to show her strength to avoid being underestimated.

âCertainly, it was time to show them a lesson.â
Still, it seemed like Jeong Da-on herself wasnât in the best shape, so entrusting it to Han Jae-young was praiseworthy.
âLearning restraint is a good direction. Iâve been too reckless until now.â

Han Jae-young, disguised as Jeong Da-on, glanced at the camera recording the scene.
Then, suddenlyâ
Fwoosh!

Yoo Han-ul raised a massive flame, far beyond what James had created, above his hand.
âBy now, those idiots who thought one video of incantation magic would suffice should understand.â
The intensity of the video would be appropriately adjusted.

âArghhh!â
A hunter, trying to dodge Yoo Han-ulâs sword, was engulfed by flames, letting out a desperate scream.
âDonât worry, you wonât die. Itâll just be horribly painful.â

Han Jae-young murmured ominously.
âAnyone who touches me will end up like this.â
Unfortunately, even with all of humanityâs civilization built over thousands of years, it was no different from beasts.

In the end, itâs survival of the fittest.
Only by showing them the sharp claws on this side would they stop casually touching Jeong Da-on.
Crash!

At the same time, Yoo Han-ul casually swung his sword, sending a person flying, solidifying the message that he was on Jeong Da-onâs side.
âAnd James Chen, your disgraceful behavior is all recorded.â
The reason Han Jae-young appeared as Jeong Da-on was, of course, to deceive James.

As expected, the moment Layla was confident she could handle things on her own, James Chen spilled his entire plan.
Submitting this video would be enough proof to show that James was the one who stole the problematic item.
James shouted with anger.

âDonât be ridiculous. A video recorded without the consent of the involved party wonât hold up as evidence in court! And youâre not even an American citizen!â
âThat might be true in a trial, but your judge isnât American, is he?â
At Han Jae-youngâs words, James' face turned pale.

As Han Jae-young said, the legal validity of this video might not be accepted in an American court.
Especially if expensive lawyers were involved.
Thatâs how human courts work.

âYou will be judged by Estella, the head of the Association.â
However, their judge wasnât a human judge, but Estella.
James bit his lip, then, silently glaring at Layla, who was watching all this drama unfold.

ââ¦As expected, Estella asked you, right? Estella must care about you, Laylaâ¦â

âDonât be ridiculous.â
Layla denied with a dark expression.

âHe cared about you. Thatâs why, even when I pointed the finger at you, he didnât believe me.â
âDonât be ridiculous, if Estella cared about me, why would he send me to that hellholeâ¦!â
âOh, here they go again.â

Han Jae-young, feeling irritated, decided to ignore their conversation.
To be honest, this wasnât the first time something like this had happened at the Hunter Association.
From an outsiderâs perspective, it was nothing short of a bizarre love triangle.

âWhatâs the point of Estella, the head of the Associationâs recognition?â
He knew his own strength best, so why did he need othersâ acknowledgment?
âWell, anyway, this should be the outcome our princess wanted.â

ââ¦Stop calling me that.â
After wiping out Jamesâ subordinates, Yoo Han-ul approached Han Jae-young, his bloodstained sword still in hand.
Han Jae-young smiled and shrugged.

âWhy, youâve been calling her that in the dungeon all along. Why are you embarrassed all of a sudden?â
âStop it. It was a mistake.â
âBut it suits you. Youâre a knight, and Da-on is a princess.â

âAnd Han Jae-young Hunter is the mischievous fairy grandma?â
âWow, out of the three words, only one canât be denied.â
âI wonât ask which one.â

âYeah, yeah. Anyway, letâs wrap this upâ¦â
âDo you think Iâm done here?!â
Suddenly, a loud shout.

Startled, Han Jae-young reflexively raised his hand to cast a spell, and Yoo Han-ul, who hadnât yet sheathed his sword, aimed it at his blade.
However, James Chen was quicker.
A surge of magical energy surrounded Jamesâ body from somewhere.

âThisâ¦!â
Han Jae-young quickly extended his own magic to counter it, but something interfered.
âWhat are you doing?!â

âI-I was trying to cancel itâ¦!â
Perhaps they had the same thought, as Layla Lopezâs magic collided with Han Jae-youngâs.
A brief error.

But that error was fatal.
As the magic of the item activated, James vanished from the spot.
He successfully escaped!

âLayla Lopez!â
Without hesitation, Han Jae-young walked over to Layla, grabbing her shoulder tightly.
âWhatâs going on here? You said the inventory scan was done.â

Both Han Jae-young and Yoo Han-ul werenât that careless.
They suspected James might have a teleportation magic item, so they had scanned Laylaâs inventory beforehand using her unique skill.
Han Jae-young had deliberately used plant-based monsters to buy them time for this.

âYou said you didnât have a teleportation magic item?â
Thatâs why Han Jae-young hadnât activated the teleportation magic dispel on purpose, but to be backstabbed like this?!
Escaping so easily?

Swish!
Han Jae-young drew a wand from his waist and aimed it at Laylaâs neck.
It was clear that Layla had purposely kept quiet about the teleportation item after knowing it from the inventory scan.

It could only be intentional.
âLopez. What the hell are you thinking?â
But Layla, still pale, just stood there without a word.

 
âUgh⦠Ughâ¦!â
James, who had urgently cast teleportation magic to escape, collapsed onto the ground, gasping for breath.

His body was too weak from the sudden depletion of magic, but he couldn't stop the filthy curses from escaping his mouth.
âDamn those bastards!â
He couldn't understand how this had happened.

Why had someone like Yoo Han-ul appeared here?
It was like a meteor crashing down and flipping the entire game, making it impossible for him to handle the situation.
âNo, no, I canât let this end like this!â

He couldn't afford to lose now.
He had just kicked Layla Lopez out of the Hunter Association. Now all that was left was to take back his rightful place!
How did he get this far?

âFirst, the video⦠I need to retrieve the video.â
He had been too careless, getting carried away by the satisfaction of bringing Layla down.
But who could have guessed that Layla had somehow managed to drag Korean hunters into this?

If that video fell into Estellaâs hands, it would be over.
âThink, think.â
They say even when the sky falls, thereâs always a way to get out.

Breathing heavily, James thought.
âRight, I just need to make sure they canât leave the dungeon.â
No matter what video they had, if Yoo Han-ul, Layla Lopez, and Jeong Da-on couldnât leave the dungeon, that would be the end of it, right?

âI could just trigger a dungeon break hereâ¦â
âUgh!â

Suddenly, a strong impact struck Jamesâ head.

âUgh!â
Before he could even feel the pain of his face crashing into the ground, the force on his head increased.
James barely managed to turn his face, and saw the woman whose foot was on his head.

More shock than humiliation filled his heart.
âHow⦠how did you get hereâ¦?â
âYou should have thought carefully about Laylaâs unique skill.â

It was a voice he had already heard.
The voice of the girl who had always gotten under his skin.
James screamed.

âYou again!â
The person who had crushed his head was Jeong Da-on.
The same girl who had shattered Jamesâ pride earlier.

âHow did you follow me here?â
âI knew you had a teleportation magic item in your inventory from the start.â*
âNo way! If you knew that, why didnât Laylaâ¦!â

âBecause that woman is now mine.â*
What?
James doubted his ears.

What was this girl talking about?
âDonât worry. I wonât kill you.â
Jeong Da-onâs hand gripped Jamesâ head tightly and lifted it up.

With her other hand, she pressed a sharp blade to his neck.
This allowed James to see her face from up close.
It was the same face he had seen earlier.

But this time, it was different.
When she had mocked him earlier, he had seen a malicious smile, but now that same smile felt more human than he had ever thought.
Jeong Da-onâs face was devoid of anything.

No feeling of superiority over the enemy, no pleasure in trampling the weak.
It was a face as boring as someone repeating the same action hundreds of times.
Instinctively, he realized.

This wasnât someone human. It was something entirely different.
âI have something I need to ask you.â
âUghâ¦!â

âHave you seen this before?â
As she spoke, Jeong Da-on held out a bracelet shaped like a snake.
At that moment, James' eyes widened.

âThatâsâ¦!â
He tried to speak, but his mouth shut tight.
Jeong Da-on blinked as she saw Jamesâ mind racing.

âYou know it, donât you?â
ââ¦If you tell me, what will you do for me?â
James was desperate too.

The urge to survive had completely taken control of his body.
But the one in control of the situation now was Jeong Da-on.
âIâm not making a deal with you. I already have a prior agreement.â

âIâ¦.â
At this point, there was nothing more to do.
He would have to leak just enough information to open a gap.

Just as James was about to speakâ
âAh⦠Ahâ¦â
But, the words didnât come out.

His tongue, which had been about to spill the truth, froze. His eyes couldnât move. His heart was racing, and the speed of his thoughts slowed, while an overwhelming pain consumed his mind.
It felt like something planted in his head was about to explode, like a time bomb ready to go off.
His vision turned white.

He instinctively understood.
If this continued, his head would explodeâ¦
âWell, I wouldnât fall for the same trick twice.â

No, no.
James struggled with the pain as someone forced his mouth open. Then, something sticky poured down his throat.
It was an unpleasant sensation.

Something alive had invaded his body.
Like a worm with will, it wriggled quickly into his head, causing the pain.
âGah!â

How much time had passed?
James realized he was now rolling pitifully on the ground.
White foam bubbled from his mouth.

âWhat⦠What is thisâ¦?â
âYou almost became a fool under hypnosis. Surprisingly, youâre not the first.â*
Hypnosis?

James blinked blankly.
âThen how did youâ¦?â
âYouâre probably familiar with this concept being Chinese. Itâs a type of âGodo (è ±æ¯)â.â*

âGodo?â
Something, no, someone, in the shape of a girl, faintly smiled.
âNow you are my servant, controlled by my blood. So tell meâ¦â

In a voice that almost seemed kind, speaking in an elegant tone.
âWhere is Orbis?â
