Chapter 481: Juyoung Hong (8)
It wasn’t long before a rumor about Juyoung Hong began to spread all over Sierra Leone.
[God’s messenger has appeared!]
[God’s messenger has destroyed all the rebels!]
[No weapon can kill God’s messenger, and he freezes everything immediately by gesturing with his hands!]
Nobody could believe such a rumor.
But the problem was that it was those who had been captured by the rebels that spread the rumors.
It was impossible for the rebels to free them, and even give them money. So such rumors gained increasing credibility among many people.
Despite such rumors, the Tanba, Kabbalah, and Fortura rebels did not appear.
Even though they knew it was dangerous to move around in the territories occupied by the rebels, some people began to go there out of curiosity. And after they confirmed that all the rebel forces were destroyed, some other people began to move before anybody else.
They were the government forces of Sierra Leone because just like the rebels, they were also greedy about the diamond mines.
But they gave up fighting against the rebels because they were not confident of beating them.
[You guys have been sitting idle until now, so you shouldn’t be greedy. Just go away! If you don’t, I’ll get rid of you like the rebels here.]
The government forces could easily infer that he was the very man called God’s messenger, but they still found it very difficult to believe the rumors.
So they launched an attack against him.
Just in case, they even brought seven tanks and portable rocket launchers.
But the God’s messenger warned.
[I can give you a pass once because humans never believe anything until they see it with their own eyes. But I won’t give you a second chance. And this is my warning.]
Shortly afterward, they witnessed the mighty power of this guy called God’s messenger, who blew up seven tanks and froze them simply by gesturing with his hand.
So it was no wonder they ran away from the place because he was really God’s messenger who they could not kill with their rifles as well as tanks and portable rocket launchers.
When the rumors spread that even the government troops also fled from him in fear, no one dared to set foot in the territories formerly occupied by the rebels.
Of course, there were people waiting to get back in. Obviously, God’s messenger told them that anyone who wanted to work three weeks later could come back.
Anyway, time passed quickly.
After exactly three weeks passed, a group of people set foot into the areas once occupied by the rebels, equipped with state-of-the-art weapons, tanks and helicopters, which dwarfed those possessed by Sierra Leone’s government forces.
***
I waited in the area occupied by the Fortura rebels, the rebel force that was formerly the most powerful in Sierra Leone.
Even though I was bored, I kept waiting with patience since I was sure those who had a stake in this area would act.
And I could finally confirm their reaction before long.
Tramp- Tramp-
I could see quite a number of people moving toward me from a distance.
Of course, this wasn’t the first time I confirmed it.
I had already spotted them monitoring this area through several attack helicopters.
Even though they noticed me, they didn’t launch any attack. So I didn’t take any action either, because I was willing to have a conversation with them.
And that was also part of the reason why I let the government troops run away after they rushed here to take over the area.
‘Hmm… honestly, these guys are worse than them.’
Actually, these guys incited the rebels behind the scenes, and made huge profits by inflating the prices of the diamonds too much so they could purchase weapons for the rebels.
Compared with the rebels, they were more evil and cruel.
Honestly, I wondered if I really had to talk with them at all, given that it was not fair to the rebels that I had already killed without even giving the chance to converse with me.
But I changed my mind right away.
‘Well, I am not the guardian or judge of Earth, so I don’t have to judge whether my actions are fair or not.’
So I waited a little longer.
Shortly afterwards, hundreds of fully armed personnel, as well as tanks, showed up.
Then a man in a neat suit, who stood out from all the other armed personnel, walked out to the front of the group.
“Why don’t you show up instead of sending this kid here to make fun of me?”
Even though I was stuck in a remote place like this, I also heard rumors about the appearance of God’s messenger, and his harsh punishment of those evil guys.
But obviously these guys thought such rumors were ridiculous.
Since I didn’t have to be upset that they didn’t recognize me, I opened my mouth casually.
“Why don’t you introduce yourself first?”
“I don’t think you did this without knowing who owned this place, right?”
“I know, but I think it’s better to make sure who really owns this place.”
Of course, I knew this area belonged to Debius, but I asked him the question because I wanted to get something straight.
“I’m from Debius. Then who is behind you?”
“Me? Behind me…”
At the same time, I slowly turned my head, then turned back and said, “Nothing.”
“…”
The man frowned at my words, and replied, “Alright. I think you are treating us like those stupid rebels who think they are the best. I want to see your great strength, or that ridiculous power of the man called God’s messenger. Okay, let me kill you first!”
“No, I’m not done yet. I’ve got something to say to you.”
Because there was nobody behind me, I replied like that, but he seemed to have misunderstood me.
Of course, it didn’t matter even if he misunderstood, because I still had more to say.
He responded, “Okay, let me listen then…”
This guy’s name was Eileo.
He was dispatched here on behalf of Debius, and came here with as many as 300 elite mercenaries, 17 new tanks, dozens of portable rocket launchers and 4 attack helicopters.
He mobilized such a terrifying force of troops and weapons because his opponent must be a strong person, given that it was definitely not easy to instantly destroy the three rebel forces who had around 1000 soldiers, even if they were a disorganized bunch.
In particular, they had no choice but to worry about the fact that I could block bullets with my bare hands, rip open a sturdy safe easily and freely produce huge chunks of ice to freeze my opponents.
What’s more, the fact that I openly attacked the area occupied by Debius signalled to them that I was confident of beating them.
So Eileo was ordered by Chairman Connenti to try to converse with me first because I was far from an easy target.
That’s why he paused for a moment and stepped back instead of launching an attack against me when I said I had something to say.
But he soon realized that he didn’t have to step back because he could not accept my demands.
[First, Debius should not intervene in the matters of Sierra Leone in the future.]
[Second, Debius should make normal transactions on the purchase of diamonds instead of unreasonably purchasing them at discounted prices.]
[Third, Debius should return 10% of the unfair profits it has taken by illegally acquiring the diamonds produced in Sierra Leone at low prices.]
Of course, Eileo did not respond to my demands immediately.
