Chapter 386 Offer Your Sacrifice
"What are we even going to do to him?" Mansik asked, the question suddenly dawning on him.
Good question.
June let out a chuckle, fully casting Fu to the side. There was no way he could depend on his system to actually help him, so he'd have to do things by himself.
"Well, since the kid's rich, let's just rob him," Jeong said, causing June to shake his head in disappointment.
He knew the bar was low, but he didn't think it could get any lower.
"And about this guy," Jeong said, his breath wafting through June's nostrils.
It was a mixture of plaque, cigarettes, and sausages, causing him to grimace in disgust.
"Let's take away everything he worked hard for. Why don't we film a scandal that will make him lose his title in the idol world?" he asked.
June's expression darkened, already expecting them to take it this far.
Bonggi smiled. "I have the perfect idea."
There were mischievous glints in their eyes, and June tried to guess what they were going to do.
"Just like old times?" Mansik asked.
"Just like old times," Jeong confirmed.
Just then, Mansik brought something out of his pocket—a ziplock with what seemed to be white powder in it.
June stared at the packet, already finding it familiar.
It was something he had seen hundreds, even thousands of times when he was still in his old body.
"You've tried this before, haven't you?" Jeong said, causing June to frown.
He assessed his situation once more. Minjun was still on the ground with Bonggi on top of him.
Mansik was by June's side, preparing the white powder to be inhaled.
Jeong kept him in a tight grip—one which would be impossible to get out of without force.
"Shit," he cursed as Mansik brought out his phone and started filming the process of preparing the drugs, then he panned it toward June.
"This is what your idol likes, everybody."
Mansik prepared it quickly like an expert before bringing it close to June's face.
His eyes widened, and he struggled, but he saw how Bonggi placed force on Minjun every time he did.
'Fuck, fuck, fuck.'
The curse word repeated over and over in his mind, feeling at a loss.
He locked gazes with Minjun, and he seemed to be just as desperate.
June held his breath as Mansik forced the powder onto June.
"Just take it. I know you fucking like it," Jeong spat, his breath even worse than before.
There was only much that June could do in this situation.
Was it going to end just like this?
"Fuck you!" a familiar voice exclaimed.
Just then, Bonggi screamed in agony, interrupting the crime.
June turned to them, looking at the newcomer with wide eyes.
"Casper?"
Ren quickly took Minjun to his side and cradled him in his arms, protecting the young teen.
"You're here, too?"
Mansik quickly left his sight as Zeth kicked him on his side.
"What the hell?" June exclaimed, looking at them with wide eyes.
"Why are you here too?" he asked Jay, who came along while holding a baseball bat.
His teammates, along with Jay, appeared before him with worried expressions.
"We told Jay you went away on your own," Jaeyong said.
"Don't be mad, but I placed a GPS app on your phone," Jay said. "But it's beneficial, isn't it? We found you right on time!"
Sehun nudged their manager's side. "I don't think this is the right time to be talking about it."
Jeong looked at the new group of men with shaking pupils, observing their impeccable strengths in restraining his two lackeys.
'What idol group is this good at fighting?' he asked in his mind.
They didn't even use any nasty tricks like ganging up on them. Casper fully restrained Bonggi with his strength alone while Mansik was still wriggling in pain after Zeth's kick.
However, despite all of this, Jeong wanted to appear unfazed.
He kept his hold on June, even holding him tighter, choking June in the process.
Jisung, who had tears in his eyes, quickly pointed at them.
"Let him go!" Jay courageously said, although his voice was shaking in nervousness.
"We've got the police on the way," Sehun calmly said. "Let him go, and you'll face lighter charges."
Jeong's conviction shook, but he decided to choose his pride in the end.
He had come too far to back out now.
Just then, he brought something out of his pocket and placed it against June's temple.
The members gasped as they looked at the gun right beside their center's head.
June also froze, wondering why this bastard even thought of bringing a gun in the first place.
If June hadn't come, what would have happened to Minjun?
Jay was fully shaking in his boots as he took a step forward.
"Don't do this, man. You've got a bright future ahead of you," he tried to convince Jeong.
"Shut up!" Jeong exclaimed, pushing the gun to June's temple, making June bite his lip in pain.
He had taken way too many hits tonight and he knew his face will definitely become fucked-up tomorrow.
"Don't move, or I'll fucking shoot. I'll kill all of you, too," he said.
June shook his head.
Jeong had gone insane.
"W—what do you want us to do?" Jisung shakily asked.
"Call the police and tell them to not come," he said.
Jay pursed his lips. "Well, you see...we may be charged with misdemeanor if we claim it's a prank call. So, I'm afraid we can't do that."
Jaeyong massaged his temples while listening to their manager's explanation.
"I don't care," Jeong spat. "Tell them to not come. Otherwise, I'll fucking pull the trigger."
Jay hesitated on what to do, but Jaeyong gave him a signal to just do it.
"We can't let them escape," Jay whisper-shouted.
"And we can't have June die," Jaeyong deadpanned.
"Make it fast!" Jeong urged.
Jaeyong sighed and took the phone from Jay, dialing the local police's number.
Meanwhile, June channeled his past self and thought of the times he was in the same position.
He glanced at Minjun and saw he was already safe with Ren.
Bonggi was also restrained by Casper, and Mansik was now out cold on the ground.
The police answered the call, but June couldn't quite hear their conversation.
He was too focused on his next movements to decipher what they were talking about.
With his past expertise, June quickly held onto the gun, twisting Jeong's wrist in the process and making him drop it to the ground.
Jeong's eyes widened in shock as he felt June's strength. He tried to run after the gun, but June kicked it away from them.
The members also looked at the scene with wide eyes, wondering where June learned such skills.
Akira was the most baffled. He was well aware that June could pick locks, hack into CCTV cameras, and knew a lot about crimes. However, he didn't expect him to be able to do this too!
June quickly switched their positions, with Jeong now on the ground.
Then, he heard Jaeyong's voice.
"You're here? Please hurry. We're in the back," he urgently said.
Jeong screamed under June's hold, causing June to smirk in delight.
Oh, how he loved hearing the screams of his enemies.
Just then, the sirens of police cars neared, so June smirked, leaning closer to Jeong.
"It's over," he whispered.
He was greeted with a chuckle, causing him to frown.
June stared at Jeong's dirty face, his frown deepening when he saw the murderous glint in his eyes.
*Click*
He heard the sound of the gun clicking, and his gaze quickly darted in the direction of the sound.
Mansik, who was now awake, had the gun aimed right at June's head.
"No!" Jaeyong exclaimed.
*Bang*
