Everyone knew that Jioh couldn’t understand English at all.

‘Why is this bastard using English here?’

Then when she heard Geumhee speak English, she changed her tune.

‘Oh, Unni! Did you see that? Our Geumgeum can speak English…!’

Hehehe.

…Was English such a pleasant language to listen to?

Is he not a native? Wow, unbelievable. Geumhee, you’ve torn him apart. Our Geumgeum’s English is awesome. It’s impressive.

It’s like parents watching a baby talk with a native speaker at an English kindergarten, clapping in their hearts while watching.

[Your covenant, ‘The One Who Reads Destiny’, will provide real-time interpretation.]

And according to the situation…

“I heard this card has no limit.”

What <Aegis>? Just step on it.

“Geumhee, just choose whatever you want.”

“Hey… Unni, what’s wrong with you?”

“Uncle Lim. If she seems to like something, put it all in the cart. Uncle Lim seems to have a good eye.”

‘Wow, damn.’

Lim Sangin felt like fainting.

This was beyond the level of the lottery. He didn’t even dare to touch the card. “Ah. Also, pay for everything she touched earlier.”

‘OH MY GOD.’ He’s truly ecstatic.

He almost fainted because of his luck.

He did hit the jackpot this time, but who would have imagined that the black card of Decagon would come out here?

The international financial company based in Switzerland, <Decagon>.

Under the motto of gathering only the best customers, this financial company deeply connected with hunters around the world has issued only 11 black cards to date.

The card’s also known as ‘The Imperator Black.’

As the saying goes, “You see the world as much as you know”, the shoppers who served VVIP hunters certainly understood the significance.

‘Even if I don’t know who they are, behind these sisters, there are world-class figures!’

Names renowned worldwide quickly flashed through his mind – the King of Magic, Son of God, Evangelist, Winter Thorn, Princess Heohae, and so on.

Even if the ‘Son of God’ from the U.S were to come personally, the names under his command were all unimaginable figures to be reckoned with.

Kim Daekang’s expression had long turned sour.

The news of the golden bell ringing inside had quickly brought even the team leaders out. The team leader’s hysteria over there was remembered for being unusual…

How shattered would he be? It was a total mess. To avoid laughing like a fool, Sangin had to bite down on his inner cheek. He felt exhilarated to the bone.

[Hah… ‘The One Who Reads Destiny’ sighs, saying, He don’t know if you’re spontaneous or just petty. ]

[Who on earth spends millions of dollars out of pettiness? He shakes his head.]

‘Just keep interpreting.’

Jioh carefully examined the display inside.

It was an item she had taken notice of while following Geumhee earlier.

Although the Trinity Hall houses all sorts of luxury goods, this was the only item that caught her attention.

‘Since I’ve decided to spend money, should I buy this too? Huh? Among these, this seems somewhat useful.’

[Can you scan the item information.]

‘Ugh. It’s a bit awkward to use magic here.’

[Then, if you say, “Oppa, read this once for Jioh”, I will agree to do it.]

“….”

Ha… Let’s just break the covenant.

If that’s the case, let’s each live our own lives.

【You can’t even handle a bit of joke?】

【What a violent girl.】

A languid laughter brushing past her ears, it vanished. In an instant, it was as fleeting as the wind.

【I opened the stigmata and scanned the item information for you…. 】

The opening of the [Stigmata], the proof of the covenant and the soul gate connected to the constellation, was an area that could not be handled arbitrarily even by the best Hunter.

According to her constellations, is it because of the maturity of the soul or something?

Anyway, for Jioh, it was not an easy task to casually manipulate the [Stigmata] unlike the constellation on the other side, who can open it forcefully.

Of course, even that couldn’t be maintained for long.

‘My ear’s itch.’ Jioh scratches her ears.

The breathless laughter, the passing sensations and his overwhelming presence. Even though it was really only a moment, it was like this every time.

‘This pervert, really. His voice doesn’t suit him at all, but it’s strangely appealing.’

And perhaps knowing that he would receive curses for his actions, the item information window immediately appeared. Glancing through the empty space, Jioh checked the window. There were two windows.

 

▶ (Sealed) Nameless Decree of the Ancient God (Rare)

▷ Category: Scenario Item

▷ Usage Restriction: None

An ancient god’s accessory without a name. When worn, it protects the user from enemies.

The latent abilities are sealed.

 

▶ Divine Decree of the Holy Being (Myth)

▷ Category: Scenario Item

▷ Usage Restriction: Bound upon wearing, non-tradable, cannot be stored in inventory

A necklace from ancient times that descended from the mythological era. It contains the decrees handcrafted by the holy being and can be separated into three pieces. The ancient god Iwa was the firstborn among the triplets.

For the protection of his brothers in the “Final War”, he swore these decrees himself.

According to the legend, the brothers met a glorious death simultaneously on a certain day and time.

Regard each other as oneself, and oneself as the other. Protect each other from crisis and adversity. Even in the face of death, never turn away.    

▷ Main Effects: Initial owner can designate second and third users.

Upon activating the item, by the ‘Decrees’ the owner can:

(1) Status confirmation between owners is possible.

(2) Location sharing is possible.

(3) If broken, the first owner can be immediately summoned (Can be restored twice).

▷ Additional Options: Grace of the Spirit and Glory, Indomitable Will, Increase in Vitality.

‘…A-amazing.’

Cough, cough!

Feigning a cough, Jioh quickly lowered her head and pressed her eyes tightly as if both eyes were about to pop out.

‘Poker face. Gyeon Jioh, use your poker face!’

Wait, no. What on earth is this? It’s not the Tower of Babel, and what is a scenario item, especially a myth-grade one, doing in the middle of Gangnam department store!

[‘The One Who Reads Destiny’ mutters that it would have been better if you had asked this oppa to say something.]

Despite the constellation talking, it didn’t register. Jioh, still in disbelief, alternated between checking the information window and the item.

Even after looking again and again, it was truly… ‘To leave an item like this in such a horrid place.’

Those heartless and despicable corporate folks.

‘Just wait a moment. This king will save you!’

“Is there a problem?”

“No, not at all.”

After a loud exhale.

Anyone could see that Jioh had a problematic face as she leaned her arm on the display stand.

She nonchalantly turns back…

“What the heck, man?”

“Don’t use such profanity in front of people.”

“Still not out? No, rather, why is your Korean so fluent? Are you a U.S. soldier stationed in Yongsan who participated in a Korean speech contest?”

The Korean proficiency he displayed shocked her a little. Lucas Malone, with a hint of a grin, responded gruffly.

“I just didn’t use it to avoid troublesome situations. Korean is a basic skill for Aegis TOP team. Captain Zio, the ‘Zio’, is an honorary Korean, and the support team leader is a former Marine from Jeolla Province.”

“…What’s this? Why are you suddenly sound so friendly and familiar…?”

“That’s the reaction of most Koreans when a foreigner who speaks Korean well mentions Zio, Jeolla Province, and the Marines.”

“… Is there a hidden camera somewhere?”

“That too is the reaction of most Koreans, but that’s enough. Can’t you change the repertoire?” This is why he doesn’t speak Korean well in front of Koreans. Well, the only thing that’s disappointing is this, so there’s nothing he can do about it. Lucas narrowed his eyes.

“The reason I even spoke Korean, even though I don’t have to, is because I wanted to ask you something directly.”

“I don’t buy it. Get lost.”

“Did you hear yourself? I believe the temper has been sufficiently tested with the incident earlier. Although I’m the cause, thanks to it, I lost the item I wanted to buy. You would know what a main weapon means to a hunter, right?”

Hmm, that’s true.

Jioh slightly straightened her back, which she had turned away with a cold gaze.

Taking a short breath while looking at the easily readable Korean. Lucas Malone, with a stern face, asked without delay.

“You… <Silver Lion> and Tiger… no, to be precise, what’s the relationship between you and them?”
