Chapter 97
There was no need to explain . Something heavy was thrown at him and Dohyuk reflexively reached out to grab it .
"Good reflexes . "
Emmanoel complimented him with a bright voice . What she threw to Dohyuk was a small ball .
"I call that a 'scope' . "
The sphere, which was the size of a baby's fist, had a metal frame that was filled with transparent crystals . Dohyuk wasn't sure if it was empty or full, but he saw a needle that was shaped like an arrow floating in the center of the ball .
"If you look closely, there's a small lever that you can pull . Do you see it?"
"Yeah . "
"Try pulling it . "
Dohyuk pulled without hesitation . With a loud blare, he felt a stinging pain coming from the thumb that he used to pull the lever .
"Now it's bound to you, and only you can use it . "
He looked down at his thumb where there was now a small puncture . There was a drop of blood at the end of the lever too .
"If you pull the lever, the arrow will point towards the closest relic from your current location . Oh, but don't pull it right now . Be careful . "
Emmanoel warned, "If you activate the scope, it won't stop until you find the relic . And when you activate it, the scope has to be in the hand you held it with . "
"If I don't do that?"
"It will be destroyed, with or without you finding the relic . "
"Whether you pull the lever or not, always carry it around with you . If that thing is placed more than ten steps away from you, it will get destroyed also . "
Dohyuk examined the ball .
"Keep it well . That's the only one I have . You can now find relics from all around the world . "
"And kill Casita?"
"It would be nice if it were that easy . "
She smiled as she added, "Actually, I'm not too sure . All these years, I thought about how to kill him and put this to an end once and for all, but I only end up with an illusion . It just isn't possible . "
Her voice showed that she was very tired .
"Maybe you are not so different than me . Maybe you failed to kill Casita and ended up like me, or even worse . But from what I can see, you at least have a better chance . That's why I'm giving that to you . Even if you don't succeed, I can be hopeful that this will all come to an end . "
Dohyuk then stopped looking at the scope and spoke .
"…It's been a long time . "
Dohyuk had been keeping track of how long he had been in the tent .
"I have to return now . "
"Oh, right . Of course . Thank you for coming," she nodded . Dohyuk then lowered his hand while holding the scope and looked up at her .
"And the payment?"

He reached out with his hand .
"Huh?"
"Payment . You must know what I'm talking about . "
The reason why he came was not to receive a ball .
"The payment for the Godly Item . Marie didn't pay me yet . She handed me those tickets because you invited me, not for the payment . Don't say that was the payment . "
Dohyuk did not agree to it, and he wouldn't have agreed even if it was the payment .
"If it was, then I'll return this to you . If it wasn't, let's make it quick . "
Emmanoel was dumbfounded and was at a loss for words . She then became apologetic and answered, "The payment is separate from the scope of course . I was just… lost . I'm sorry . I forgot after we talked . "
"So, you will pay me here?"
"No, transferring the coins to your 'wallet' has to be done within the range of Casita's system . If you return, I'll call Marie and have her take the payment back to you . "
"How much are you paying me?"
"4 . 7 million . "
Dohyuk remembered how much he was paid for his Pair of Crescent Moons .
"That's a lot . "

"Yeah, believe it or not, we have to pay the max for that . "
Emmanoel smiled, but Dohyuk didn't . He put the scope in his pocket and prepared to rip the white ticket .
"Hope we see each other again . "
"Of course, we'll meet again . "
Dohyuk answered immediately, "You will call me even if I don't want to see you . "
Dohyuk did not see her face change and ripped the ticket . A few seconds later, he was back in the underground tunnel .
"Y-you are back so early?"
Dohyuk nodded as he fought back the nausea from the teleportation .
"Go back immediately . Your boss has some work for you . "
"What?!"
She quickly disappeared and when she returned-
-Coins: 5,810,341
Dohyuk saw the payment coming into his wallet .

"Hey . "
"Yes?"
"Your president has the same last name as you . "
"Oh, uh… she is my boss and the godmother of my family . The ancestor that started my family was actually her younger brother . "
"Are you close to her?"
"C-close?!" She jumped in surprise, "H-how can I… How dare can I… the president is very strict and fair . Even if I share the same blood, she's fair to everyone… I mean, she encourages me sometimes, but I get nervous every time she does that . "
Dohyuk didn't need to ask anymore as Marie began singing praises about her president .
"…and she's as powerful as any of the other gods from other worlds . We don't know how she still has her body even when she lived for that long but…"
"Okay, enough . "
"…!! I-I'm sorry! I've talked too much . "
"No, it was useful information . " Dohyuk smiled as he shook his head, "Good work anyway . I probably will have to call you again soon . "
"O-of course! Call me anytime!"
"Yeah, thanks . And talking about that…"
Dohyuk told Marie about what he needed .
"Can you prepare them?"
"Three… no, give me two days . . "
"Yeah, I can do that . "Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
