The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Chapter 11: Some strange bastard appeared (4)

<A disciple of the Gemini Temple was beaten unconscious in the streets!>

<Man claims he was humiliated in public by Lee Gun!>

When Hugo read the article, his heart instantly sank. It shocked him so much that he broke his cup of espresso. It was to be expected.

'It's Lee Gun!' Moreover, the incident had occurred near Gwanghwamun. 'Shit! That's right next to the Devil's Tower!'

Hugo moved his hands in a desperate manner. The north of Seoul past Kaesong was an inhospitable region for humans. Therefore, the Cheong Wa Dae and the central administrative agency had moved to the south a long time ago. The Devil's Tower was near the front line, so only watchtowers and investigative units of the temples resided near it. Only a few people could appear in that region, yet someone claiming to be Lee Gun had shown up.

'It really might be Gun.' The time and the location made it very likely. Hugo's hand shook as he pressed the link. However...

- Ah! For your information, I said it was Lee Gun, but you guys know he's a fake, right?

└ What? Of course! Who would really think it's Lee Gun?

- Anyone who thinks this is real is an idiot.

'Fuck! I'm sorry for being an idiot! Why are they bamboozling me like this?' Hugo knew there was a possibility that this sighting was a fake. However, his heart couldn't take it in his current situation. Lee Gun keeping a low profile meant that he was about to do something big.

'I remember when the image of him grabbing an army general by the neck made the newspapers' front pages.' Lee Gun had told the general to have a conscience since he was being worked like a dog every day. He had told them to leave him alone for a day so that he could sleep. Hugo was worried since he knew Lee Gun's temperamental nature.

'That bastard might attack the temples of the twelve Zodiacs!'

This incident had telltale signs. The person who Lee Gun had beaten was a part of the Gemini Temple. To make things worse, it was a temple under the direct management of a Zodiac. In other words, the people there were underlings of the twelve Zodiacs. They were like family. The twelve Zodiacs had created dependents to grow their power. Hugo almost wanted to applaud the man for having such a stroke of bad luck. However, the other people reacted a bit differently.

- He wasn't beaten up in the streets. Anyone with middling power bows toward the Gemini. Moreover, we are talking about one of their high-rank templesㅋㅋㅋ

└ You're right. Their entrance exam is very hard. The twelve Zodiacs test anyone who'll serve directly under them.

- I heard you have to kill a person to be able to enter that place. This might be some psychotic and difficult test that they administerㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└ That has nothing to do with difficulty. It's a whole different problem. ㄷㄷ

- Anyway, this is all manipulated bullshit.

- Didn't they say it was a Lee Gun lookalike? What if it was indeed the real Lee Gun? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅋ

- Are you fucking with me.ㅋㅋㅋ This is so overblown. That person is probably telling bullshit because he failed the entrance test.ㅋㅋㅋㅋ If this Lee Gun manages to defeat the twelve Zodiacs, I'll personally donate ten million won to his shrine.ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Everyone dismissed the matter in a joking manner. However, cold sweat flowed down Hugo's face. 'Idiots! You shouldn't say such words against Lee Gun.' What if Lee Gun was watching? In the end, it was fine since Hugo wasn't doing it.
