Chapter 385 Magnet for Trouble
June pursed his lips, internally cringing with what he said.
It definitely sounded better in his head just now.
It seemed like three goons also found it cringy since they burst out into laughter.
Minjun even took a break from being scared and looked at June with raised eyebrows like he was asking—'really?'
June pursed his lips.
"But like I said, let's do this another day when we're alone," June quickly said, going back to his serious self.
Kim Jeong's expression also turned serious. "Yeah…I don't want to do that."
And just like that, Jeong raised his fist and landed another punch on June's face.
He used his other fist, which had a ring on, so June's skin was cut when he landed the punch.
June let out a deep breath before placing Minjun to the side.
"Wait here," June said.
He cracked his knuckles and clenched his jaw, causing the trio to chuckle.
"Come on, pretty boy," Mansik said. "Why don't you show us your moves?"
June smirked, unhesitatingly punching Jeong in the nose. A crack was heard, and it bled at an instantaneous speed.
The three were shocked for a moment. However, with Jeong's wail, they quickly snapped out of it.
"Bastard!" Bonggi screamed.
The two lackeys lunged at June, trying to land as many punches and kicks as possible. However, June evaded them with great speed and agility. His body moved like a feather as he expertly moved around the two, making them look like hooligans who knew nothing about fighting.
Kim Jeong watched from the side as he tended to his bleeding nose. However, seeing as his lackeys weren't doing any damage, he decided to take matters to his own hands.
"Move," he said, pushing the two away.
Jeong mirrored the smirk on June's lips.
There was no way this bastard was enjoying this!
Jeong tried to punch June, but it missed him by a hair. June was a bit surprised. Kim Jeong was definitely better than his two lackeys.
However, in the end, he was no better than June.
The two of them landed punches left and right, with June landing most of them.
Although Jeong managed to punch June a couple of times, it didn't do enough damage to the idol.
'Who is this guy?' Jeong asked, looking at June's face.
However, his thoughts were quickly snapped back to reality when June landed a punch to his abdomen, making him fall to the ground in rage.
Now, it was time to play dirty.
"Help me, you idiots!" Jeong exclaimed.
Mansik and Bonggi went to restrain June while Jeong rained punches on June's body.
"Bro!" Minjun exclaimed, trying to go to him, but June aggressively shook his head.
"Don't!" June shouted. "Go get help."
The young teen ran at a great speed to get some help.
Meanwhile, June tried his best to evade the punches, but he could only do so much with two guys restraining him.
"Get the kid," Jeong said, insanely laughing as he looked at Minjun's figure.
June's eyes widened when Bonggi ran after Minjun and captured him in his arms.
"No!" June exclaimed, breaking away from Mansik's hold to run after them, too.
"Let me go!" Minjun screamed in pain as the adult with the mind of a toddler pushed his head to the ground.
"Leave Minjun out of this," June said, trying to stop whatever Bonggi was doing.
However, Jeong quickly caught up to him and wrapped his arm around June's neck.
"Can I land a punch too?" Mansik excitedly asked.
"Go to town," Jeong smirked, allowing the lackey to land his very first punch on June.
Mansik shamelessly punched June's cheek while the latter shook his head in amusement.
"Fucking weak," he whispered.
"What did you just say?" Mansik exclaimed, about to hurt June once again, but June used his legs to kick Mansik in the balls.
"Nothing, motherfucker," June spat.
Then, he was about to move away from Jeong's hold when he suddenly spoke.
"One move and the little kid is going to get it."
June froze while Bonggi smirked, using his nasty hands to shove Minjun's face into the dirty gravel, hurting him in the process.
"Stop," June said.
"Are you going to stay still?" Jeong asked.
"I will," June said. "Don't do anything to Minjun."
Jeong nodded at Bonggi, and the latter stopped pushing Minjun's cheek to the ground. Instead, he held onto both his arms and restrained his legs with his knees while the litte teen struggled.
Mansik then got up and glared at June, still clutching onto his family jewels.
"Ah, this is great," Jeong said. "Now, it's finally quiet."
June paused for a moment, subtly looking around to look for something that could leverage him in the situation.
If he was all alone, then he could definitely finish the fight without any trouble.
However, with Minjun around, his movements were limited.
If only there was someone who could help him.
Jeong took a step back, tightening his hold around June's neck, making him grit his teeth.
[Wow! You stepped on a lucky side quest.]
June was startled when Fu suddenly appeared before him.
'Fu? Shit. Help me!' he exclaimed in his mind.
[The title of this side quest is: The Gift of Sacrifice.]
[The gift of the new year is here! What better way to start the new year than through the act of sacrifice.]
"Fuck you," June said, not being able to control his emotions.
"Fuck you?" Jeong asked. "Mansik, punch him again for me."
June pursed his lips in frustration as he continued to read the content of the side quest.
He was a fool for thinking that Fu was going to be useful for a second!
[Seek out a hidden sanctuary and learn more about the art of sacrifice! Roam the city and identity causes in need. These could range from helping impoverished neighbors, rescuing lost pets, or assisting local craftsmen with their tasks. Fulfill the quest, and you'll have the opportunity to create a new skill!]
[The more selfless and significant sacrifice, the greater the potential for a powerful skill. Potions may also be given based on the scale of the sacrifice!]
