Chapter 322 – Letter of Friendship (7)
Team: HH, thursdays, Yahiko (10/10)
“Anastasia?”
Had she felt Yeon-woo’s shock? Freesia was surprised by his reaction .
『Do you know Fox… . . I mean, Anastasia?』
Fox . It was a perfect name to describe Anastasia .
Victoria’s teacher, Anastasia . When he first looked for Victoria, she had spoken to him harshly, telling him not to return .
He could vividly recall the danger he was in when he confronted her .
『Ah . I remember Victoria’s disciple was once a Sadhu . And so was the Iron Lion’s sadhu . Then is that when… . . ?』
“Yes . ”
Freesia burst into laughter .
『It’s a small world, but no one is as closed off from the world as she is . But you know her . It’s impressive for a player who just entered the 30th floor . 』
“I don’t exactly know her . ”
『I suppose . She’s extremely wary of others . But she does all kinds of audacious acts behind that facade . 』
Freesia narrowed her eyes .
『Anyways, this is it for our deal . Our trade with Anatasia is finished, too, so you have to take care of the rest . 』
“Thank you . ”
『For what? This was all just give and take . 』
Freesia was about to end the hologram session but then remembered something and turned to Yeon-woo .
『Oh, right, and here . 』
“Is there something else?”
『Yul misses you . I’ll set up a meeting for you, so meet him then . Of course, you’ll have to return safely from Tartarus . 』
Yul . It was a name he was glad to hear .
『No . Before that, there’s something you’ll have to go through…… I hope things work out . 』
Freesia left mysterious words before leaving .
Yeon-woo quietly put the jade mirror back .
“I’m not going to be fired, right?”
Atran was concerned about his customer being taken from him after hearing the news that his master’s disciple would come soon .
Yeon-woo went to the entertainment district in the outer section of the Tower .
‘Although she might not be here anymore . ’
Freesia had said even she didn’t know where Anastasia stayed . Anastasia was a free spirit . She moved carefully even when making deals .
Yeon-woo just went to where he had first met Anastasia . Last time, the roof was blown off because of the fight . He thought he might’ve been able to find her if he looked around the building .
“Isn’t that… . . ?”
“Yeah . That mask… . . He looks like the Hoarder . ”
Unlike last time, there was almost no one who approached Yeon-woo . There was no one in the Tower who didn’t know about him .
He was the face of the Six New Stars, no, the Five New Stars now .
They said only ruins were left in his wake, so he was treated like a moving disaster .
Yeon-woo ignored the gazes and arrived at his destination .
The building must’ve been restored because prostitutes and those trying to hire them were bustling around .
But the moment Yeon-woo appeared, they disappeared instantly .
When all the customers disappeared, the manager inside the building came running out frantically .
He had just been about to lay with someone he’d been buying small presents for . He had come out in such a rush that his pants weren’t fully pulled up .
When he saw Yeon-woo, he gasped . He remembered the commotion from a long time ago . Thinking of the damage from back then, his hands began to tremble . He hadn’t expected him to come back .
“Is Anastasia here?”
“N-No… . . !”
Yeon-woo pulled out the Magic Bayonet and split the air in front of him . Then, the roof was blown away .
The customers and prostitutes on the higher floors who had wanted to make love while looking at the scenery below them all hid in fear .
“So she’s not here . ”
Yeon-woo glanced inside and quickly turned his body elsewhere .
The manager, who had been standing there blankly when the roof went flying off again, quickly grabbed Yeon-woo .
From what he knew, Yeon-woo wasn’t someone to let things end like that . He wasn’t called “A Walking Disaster,” “The Coming of the Martial King’s Youth,” or “Split Personality” for nothing .
“W, What will you do?”
Yeon-woo replied with a question .
“What are you going to do?”
“Sorry?”
“Why aren’t you looking for her?”
“Business will be hard for you if you don’t . ”
Yeon-woo swung his Magic Bayonet at the building next to it .
Kwakwakwang!
Once again, the roof flew off into the distance .
When the building shook like it was going to crumble, customers and prostitutes who barely got their clothes on and staff members quickly ran out .
“She’s not here either . ”
「Kya! He acts exactly like his teacher!」
「It truly is better to shake things up if you can’t find what you’re looking for . 」
Yeon-woo moved onto the next building .
“Shanon . ”
「What?」
“I think you’ve been acting out more frequently these days . ”
「Hehe . No way . It’s all in your head . 」
Yeon-woo shook his head . He didn’t know why Shanon was becoming more sly as time went on . But at the same time, it meant that they were becoming closer, so he wasn’t completely against it .
Boom!
As each building collapsed, people affiliated with shadowy organizations chased after Yeon-woo, not knowing what to do, and belatedly realized what Yeon-woo was trying to do .
Yeon-woo was bringing down all the buildings in the entertainment district .
Anastasia was a famous VIP among the people who lived here, and she stayed here most of the time when nothing was going on .
He thought that Anastasia would come since he was causing so much ruckus .
At the same time, it was a warning for the people who lived there to go find Anastasia if they didn’t want the district to be ruined .
Kwang!
“Ahhhh!”
“What are you doing?! Look for Ms . Anastasia!”
Anastasia had saved many of their lives, but they had to bow in the face of danger .
As each of the buildings was crushed, the drug addicts came to attention, and the prostitutes ran around busily .
“What is going on?!”
A loud voice echoed from above .
The people who had been running around stopped and bowed their heads .
Yeon-woo stopped swinging his sword and turned around .
Anastasia was standing gracefully on top of the cafe on the 5th floor . Her eyes were half-closed, and the clothes she was wearing only covered her upper body . Her lower body was completely exposed . One beautiful child, who followed her quickly, covered her, and she looked around . Then, she found Yeon-woo .
“Kiddo, did you do this?”
Anastasia looked annoyed .
She hated being woken . Falling asleep while high with beautiful children was the only source of joy in her life .
Of course she was angry .
“Do you know who I am? And yet, you still did this?”
Yeon-woo narrowed his eyes . What was she talking about? She was acting like she didn’t know him . He was about to say something when a beautiful child whispered something in Anastasia’s ear .
She realized who Yeon-woo was and sobered up .
“You’re the one who was looking for Victoria . ”
Her face crumpled .
“But why are you here? I thought I told you to never come back . ”
“This time, I’m not here to see Victoria . ”
“Then?”
『The Adamantine Nova . You have it, right?』
Yeon-woo spoke with Open Speaking so only she could hear .
“How did you… . . oh, you must be behind the one who kept on asking for it . ”
Anastasia remembered Atran and frowned even more .
“No, aside from that, how did you know I have it? It should be a secret… . . that wolf bitch sold me out!”
She was furious after realizing the situation .
“This is why lowly merchants… . . They only know how to flatter people . ”
Anastasia promised to pick this up with them the next time she met . There was nothing worse than having your information available for everyone to see .
“Leave . I already said this multiple times, but I’ll sell this over my dead body . ”
“I need the item . ”
“Oh? What are you gonna do with it?’
Yeon-woo looked up at her and pulled out his sword from his pocket .
“What is it? You want to burn everything to the ground if we don’t talk?” A smile grew on her lips .
Hwak!
White smoke surrounded Yeon-woo, and he began to gather energy to himself .
The moment Vigird marked Anastasia as a target, a violent aura whipped around them .
The aura of the two high rankers caused earthquakes .
While the entertainment district was being destroyed .
“I tried to forgive you because you were the friend of my foolish disciple . But if you want to die, I’ll kill you . ”
Anastasia flicked her finger . Magic power raced towards Yeon-woo . At the same time, his shadow opened, and souls came out to block her .
Gwoooo—
In the middle of the great fight, boom!
He quickly ran at Anastasia .
If he couldn’t make a deal, he had to steal it .
There was no other way . He needed the Adamantine Nova to make Kynee and unlock clues about his pocket watch .
If he stepped back here, he didn’t know how long he would have to wait .
He swung Vigrid . Smoke rose from where Wave of Fire struck Anastasia .
