Hell’s Handbook

t then, Kano Mai suddenly did something to the Handbook.
A portal door suddenly appeared and Kano Mai jumped right in.

“Hell’s Bar!” Everything happened too quickly and Kano Mai had disappeared by the time Ron let out a shout.

Su Jin had a pleased smile on his face after Kano Mai had jumped in.
If those words hadn’t distracted Kano Mai and caused her to waver, he wouldn’t have had the chance to control her mind.

Kano Mai was someone who had gone through several Challenges and had a very strong will.
It wasn’t easy to control someone like her at all.
But Su Jin’s sudden confession had shocked her so much that Su Jin was able to control her mind and made her enter Hell’s Bar against her own wishes.

Inside Hell’s Bar, Kano Mai nearly went insane when she realized what just happened and wanted to dash out again, but Su Jin’s voice rang in her head, “Silly girl, you are NOT to come back! I have a way to protect myself.
If you come back, you will only ruin my plans.
Have a little more faith in your team leader!”

Su Jin had left Kano Mai a message when he sent her into Hell’s Bar because he was afraid she would hop right out again and his efforts would have gone to waste.

Back inside the house, Su Jin had a pleased look on his face because he had made use of his psychokinesis perfectly.
Using it to control another person’s mind was not a technique he had learned or practiced before.
Trying it out on Kano Mai had been a desperate attempt, but it had turned out better than he had expected.

Ron was furious as he stared daggers at Su Jin.
He couldn’t believe one of them had managed to get away despite being cornered like this.
If anybody else found out about this, it would be such an embarrassment.
Thankfully, this was his own private operation, so nobody else would know besides his own small group.

Actually, Ron had his eye on Su Jin because he was part of the group watching Starlight Orphanage.
They were pretty sure that anybody connected to Ye Yun was no ordinary person.

Ron was supposed to report such findings to the organization he belonged to, but he felt that it wouldn’t be too hard to handle Su Jin on his own.
After all, if he took Su Jin down secretly, everything Su Jin had would be his and he wouldn’t have to take only what the organization allowed him to.

“Great! Just great! Your companion has fled but I highly doubt you’re able to do that in this state.
Are finally prepared to cooperate?” asked Ron as he tried to suppress his anger.

“I’m afraid not!” Su Jin made a face as he gave the command, “Gold Armor! Rumor!”

A golden beam flickered as the Gold Armor covered Su Jin.
Ron cursed inwardly.
He didn’t expect Su Jin to still choose to counterattack even at this stage.

“Get him!” yelled Ron.
Ron couldn’t afford to kill Su Jin now because once Su Jin died, his Handbook and all the items inside would disappear as well.
He needed to hold Su Jin down and keep torturing him until he surrendered all his items.
Ron was very sure that nobody would be able to hold up against his tactics.

“Air of an Overlord!” Su Jin immediately activated his armor’s skill, sending out an invisible force from his body.
All seven owners were stunned and their world spun for one second.

“Move! Move!” Su Jin gritted his teeth and perspiration dripped from his forehead as he filled Rumor with his Psychokinetic Spirit Power.
He couldn’t move, so Rumor was his only hope.

Rumor started moving, to Su Jin’s delight.
He was right in believing that he wasn’t completely helpless.
And even if he were to die, he was going to drag a few of them down with him.

But just then, Ron and the rest snapped out of their dizziness.
They were so horrified by what just happened to them.
If there was another owner here while they were experiencing that dizziness, at least one of them would have died by now.
Once they snapped out of their daze, they charged towards Su Jin and couldn’t see anything else but him.

“Time to die!” Rumor flew out along with whatever remained of his Spirit Power.

All seven owners felt like they weren’t in control of their bodies anymore and Rumor flew right through two of their hearts.

“Crap!” Su Jin felt an excruciating pain in his head.
He had overestimated himself after all.
Even with Rumor’s help, he could only kill two of them.

The remaining five were even more horrified now.
Su Jin had turned out to be way more powerful than they had expected and the possibility of Su Jin being a veteran hadn’t even crossed their mind.
In fact, if Su Jin were fully mobile, they would all be dead by now.

“What are you afraid of? So what if he’s veteran? He’s just one paralyzed guy! Get him!” yelled Ron.
He was afraid that his team would lose morale because Su Jin was a veteran.
After all, the organization would have sent a different team to deal with veterans.

Su Jin lay on the floor with despair in his eyes.
He had always thought he would end up dying in a Challenge.
But now, it looked like he was going to die in the real world.

The other five felt relieved when they saw the despair in Su Jin’s eyes.
That meant that Su Jin wasn’t able to defend himself anymore and had given up, so they charged towards Su Jin again.

Just then, the doorbell rang and a man’s voice called out, “Hello! Is Mr.
Su Jin at home?”1

Everybody say…PLOT ARMOR↩
