Episode 69
After hearing the story from Yohanna, Kang Tae-min grew more hostile toward Lunatic Don.
Isn’t that enough to destroy a world? The danger was nothing compared to the villains he dealt with before returning.
However, even so, Kang Tae-min decided to solve the Ubermensch first.
‘Insufficient information.’

Lunatic money didn’t have many records even before the regression. Rather, there was more information from this life.
In other words, it meant that it was difficult to plan ahead of time for even Kang Tae-min to respond to Lunatic Money.
So, it was right for Lunatic Don to contribute to the trend, such as the development of Johanna’s search device and the association’s response.
‘But I know of the terror plan of the Overmensch.’
On the other hand, the terror of the Übermensch remained clear in his mind. In the first place, they were a group of ideological criminals who tried to enforce their ideology, so it was because they showed off their atrocities.
‘Concentrate on what you can do.’
Under the current circumstances, it makes sense to go after the Übermensch. Besides, he wanted to punish them himself rather than handing them over to the Association.
“Um… But as I said before, the scaler is quite influential. The amount of information you gave me this time is considerable, but not enough to handle… .”
Kang Tae-min also expected this reaction. If possible, Miss Backdoor would have provided the information first.
“I’m going to try a circumvent deal.”
“I was approaching that way too. First of all, I had to grab the side branch of the scaler… .”
Miss Backdoor also didn’t stay still. She took a familiar object out of a drawer.
“I was looking into this.”
“It’s a ciphertext.”
It was the cipher text that Kang Tae-min used to track the Ubermensch’s submarine. But didn’t she already interpret the contents?
“Did you track the single lion magnet?”
“If you pretend, you pretend.”
Miss Backdoor smiled lightly and took out the ciphertext.
“No matter how secretly, someone wouldn’t have made this? I thought that if I dig into it, I will find a connection with the Ubermensch.”
“result?”
“I found a company that processes dungeon by-products. It doesn’t seem like it’s run directly by the Obermensch side, but at least this cipher text was created here.”
She received the documents from Mr. Rock and gave them to Kang Tae-min. Kang Tae-min quickly scanned the data and shook his head.
“I think it might be related.”
“Yes? how to do that… ?”
“I’ll tell you when it’s clear, I’ll do the investigation myself.”
He returned the materials and left.

Late evening.
The truck from the Hunter Association arrived at its destination.
“3 boxes of wyvern scales, 30 minotaur horns, 5 boxes of cut meat… .”
The place they arrived at is a dungeon byproduct processor.
The staff of the association skillfully checked the items, and the staff of the company quickly carried the checked products.
“Ugh! That’s not what we’re moving!”
“Yes?”
Employees of the company were busy working and came running in surprise. The new employee was surprised and withdrew his hand from the iron case he was about to touch.
“Oh, it looks like you’re new.”
“Aww, yes. Even though I was trained… sorry.”
“it’s okay. With this, all general items are unloaded.”
The association staff smiled generously and held the iron case directly.
“Yumma! Don’t you know what that is?”
“Uh, that… .”
“It’s just… ! That’s the dungeon core. How many times have I told you that only association employees can touch it?”
In the meantime, the company’s employees began to seek new recruits. The surprised newcomer opened his eyes wide and asked.
“A core? Why are you bringing the core?”
“… You, don’t come out tomorrow.”
“It’s not like it was just heard in one ear and let out in the other, it seems to be leaking from both ears.”
“Do you think this place pays more money than anywhere else? It’s all risk pay.”
There are many by-product processing companies, but ‘mana extraction’ was only possible where the association’s permission was granted.
It was because there was a risk of problems in the mana extraction process.
While the new recruits were being retrained, the association staff delivered the core.
“Ahahahaha, thank you for using it every time.”
Mana extraction was directly managed by the president because it was cost-effective. He greeted the association staff with a smile on his face.
He carefully took out the core and headed for the mana extractor. It was a machine that extracted the remaining mana from the core and extracted it as a mana solution.
“Eat one of these as you pass away.”
“Hey, I don’t have to give you this.”
An association employee waved his hand at the beverage box delivered by the secretary. However, that was just a façade, and the hand that had been refusing to do so turned to the box.
“Today is a bit heavy.”
Because he knew very well that there wasn’t just a drink under it.
In the meantime, the president mounted the core on the instrument, proceeded with the mana extraction and crushing process.
All of the mana was extracted, and the core that lost its light was crushed by the press at once.
“it is done.”
“You insulted me. Then again next time.”
The Association employee smiled at the extra income and went back to the truck. The boss, who had been seeing him off with a smile, changed his complexion as soon as he left.
‘Tsk, such a leech bastard.’
The boss swears inwardly and laughs at him.
‘I’m glad I’m such an idiot, though.’
The boss went behind the extractor and picked up the case containing the core. All he showed to the association staff was a counterfeit, filled with mana potions inside.
He happily waited for the night to come. Time passed and all the employees of the company had left work.
‘It’s almost time to come.’
Buyers of these cores did not come on time. However, on the day the core was in stock, it always came for a transaction.
Wait a minute.
The sound of footsteps pierced his ears.
“Ah, are you here?”
The lights inside were dark because it was a black trade that could not be done proudly. Then, with the sound of footsteps, it appeared from the shadows.
“… who, who?”
It was an iron man, Kang Tae-min.
He was able to subdue the surprised boss before his eyes closed.
“Ahh… !”
“I am not an Awakener.”
The reaction rate was significantly reduced. If he wasn’t an Awakener, he wouldn’t be a member of the Ubermensch.
‘It’s just a bootlegger.’
Kang Tae-min lightly tapped his leg with his knee and broke it.
“Turn it off… !”
The boss shuddered and let out a suppressed scream. Kang Tae-min made a steel chair with his ability and dragged the president to sit on it.
The president, covered in tears and snot, looked at him trembling.
“Who commissioned this, and who wants to buy the core?”
Kang Tae-min took out a monolithic magnet, pointed to the case, and asked. The boss hurriedly shook his head.
Kang Tae-min opened the iron plate that had blocked his mouth.
“Mo, I don’t know. Every time, the people who come are different… !”
“… Do you know where this is used?”
“I do not know. I really am… ! Just to make some more money… .”
It was the truth.
Kang Tae-min immediately covered his mouth with an iron plate.
Just then, a thud was heard from all directions.
‘Is it a security shutter?’
The heavy security shutters are lowered and all lights are turned off. As soon as it became completely dark inside, a blue trail flew in with a gunshot.
As Kang Tae-min’s body collapsed, men wearing night vision goggles appeared.
“town… ! Yep!”
The president let out a cheer of joy. They were mercenaries prepared to prepare for any possible threat.
It was because even if there was a problem, I couldn’t call a security hunter as much as I was doing black trade.
It was a contract to be dispatched if the president did not send a regular signal for a designated period of time.
“Checking Client Survival.”
“No target movement.”
“Border shift.”
The mercenaries approached with their guns pointed while exchanging brief conversations. And the moment he lowered the gun to Kang Tae-min again to confirm the kill.
“Knock… !”
“Yes.”
With a short moan, the two mercenaries changed their lives. It was because the night vision they were wearing suddenly dug into its owner’s head.
“what… !”
At least, only the veterans with fast reflexes raised an aura and defended their heads.
But that was all.
“Turn it off… !”
In the dark, the boss let out a short moan and fell forward. The surviving senior mercenary hurriedly tried to pull the trigger.
But something was strange.
‘Is it gone?’
When I pulled the trigger, I didn’t feel anything. When I touched it in surprise, the upper part of the gun was missing.
“You have to know how to take care of guests too.”
Hearing a voice from the darkness, he hurriedly grabbed the bayonet. As I aroused the aura, the blue light that bloomed softly illuminated the surroundings.
An iron man stood between the shadows. Obviously, the bullet’s trajectory was directed toward the heart. how are you alive
“how… .”
He couldn’t finish his words. He couldn’t have imagined that it was his own will.
But death always comes without warning.
There was a hole in the middle of the forehead with a crackling sound. Kang Tae-min frowned as he watched the corpse collapse.
‘Are you a specialist?’
You could tell who they were by the emblem engraved on the mercenary’s protective clothing.
Specialist ($specialist).
It was a mercenary guild that participated in various missions, such as escorting security and transportation, as well as hunter duties to clear dungeons. It was also a place where hunters who pursued practical gain rather than cause gathered.
But there was something more important than that.
‘I don’t want to lose the courtship yet.’
The Specialist was one of the five major guilds and was run by a courtier.
Judging by the level of response, he was a low-level guild member, so he wouldn’t move directly, but he would try to find the culprit.
Kang Taemin sneakily checked his surroundings.
‘It did cost me some money.’
As much as the president anticipated this situation, he made thorough soundproofing to prevent sound from leaking out.
He seemed to think that if someone reported it, he would be in trouble too.
‘For now, tracking comes first.’
Before returning, Ubermensch smuggled dungeon cores and planned terrorism.
Dungeon cores ejected for mana extraction were collected and mana was injected into them, and they were destroyed by the association’s branch, inducing an artificial dungeon break.
Kang Tae-min predicted that this company was one of the companies that traded with Ubermensch and monitored it.
‘Rather, it’s not bad.’

Looking at the dead mercenaries, Taemin Kang came up with an idea.
* * *
A van quietly entered the business.
‘Just move things and that’s it. It doesn’t matter what’s in it.’
It was a member of the Ubermensch who arrived for core smuggling. He took a deep breath and stepped inside.
“Ah, are you here?”
The boss greeted him warmly. He did not respond to the hospitality, handed over the cash bag he had prepared, and accepted the bag he held out.
“Thank you for using us every time. Then again… .”
The boss greeted me, but I ignored it. He climbed into the vehicle with a firm expression, and immediately stepped on the accelerator.
The president’s image as he watched it melted away, and eventually changed into Kang Tae-min in a suit.
‘Is it cash? I’ll have to ask Backdoor to clean it.’
Kang Tae-min created a clone in the form of a disguise and made him take the cash bag.
While the clones were gone, he dismantled the cabinets in the corner. The corpses of the mercenaries fell.
Kang Tae-min displayed his ability and gathered the bodies together.
‘And on the wall… .’
The metal blade he formed quickly cut through the wall. Sharp scratches eventually became a symbol.
The hand holding the letter ‘U’ as the center was the symbol of Ubermensch.
‘At least on the specialist’s side, I’m sure they’ll find out that it’s related to the Übermensch.’
It was intended to cause friction between the two groups by pretending that the deaths of the guild members were related to the Overmensch.
Of course, the specialist would not have reacted immediately after seeing only this much.
‘Still, since the royal courtier is also a founding member of Ubermensch, there must be a reaction.’
Didn’t it say that the sword master, the horseman, and the courtier made the ubermensh? If the courtier thought it would cause harm to him, he would respond in any way.
‘Then let’s go.’
Kang Tae-min finished organizing and left. As he soared into the sky, he saw a black van speeding along the road.
The real pursuit began from now on.
