The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Chapter 26: Being Handsome is a Problem (1)

"This is it."

"No way! Please give me your real ID."

"That is my real ID!" Lee Gun slammed his hand against the desk in frustration. He had come to a holy item trading center at the Gangnam station. It was the biggest market in Korea.

Lee Gun had come here for a simple reason. It was what had happened at the Archer's holy ground.

"Hey, Oh Taeksoo."

"No. Don't pay attention to that. Also, I want you to uninstall that game."

Lee Gun turned to look at Hugo with a baffled expression. Hugo had been acting anxious since the previous day. Lee Gun had caught him hiding his family photos for some odd reason. So, he kicked Hugo as a reply.

"I'm not talking about the game, idiot. I'm talking about this." Lee Gun was holding a monkfish. It flopped in his hand. "Can you hear this ugly bastard?"

Yang Wei, who had been put inside a fish, almost cussed. Of all the people in the world, Lee Gun was disparaging his looks!

In the times gone by, the Archer Saint was famous for being the most handsome amongst the twelve Saints. He had taken great care of himself over the years, so he currently looked like a Hollywood actor. However, Lee Gun was different.

'He was the ugliest amongst the thirteen.'

There was a good reason people made fun of Lee Gun for being ugly.

'Also, he was bald!'

Hugo sometimes questioned why Lee Gun was popular. However, that wasn't important right now. "Uh? It's faint, but I can intermittently hear its voice."

"Oh! This must be effective then." Lee Gun laughed as he looked at a yellow ribbon.

<Ribbon Containing Serpent Bearer's Power> Rank C

This ribbon contained the "13th Sense" skill. Anyone favored by the Serpent Bearer could temporarily use it. The effect would disappear when the person would separate from the holy item.

- 13th Sense Applied: Hear voices of souls

While making an accessory, Lee Gun had tried to imbue his skill into a ribbon and this was the result.

'It's a low-rank item and unstable, but it should be ok.' Lee Gun satisfactorily tied the ribbon around the monkfish's head. The fish looked pretty. It was also a bizarre sight where Yang Wei was wrapped like a gift.

"Alright, asshat. You said you know who the owner of the knife is, right?"

"!"

Lee Gun took out the knife that had been the reason he fell into the trap. The engraved design on the knife, which he had never seen before, bothered him. "You said you saw this knife at a brokerage warehouse. I've given you enough time to go over your account books."

"I couldn't find the information! The books during the period when the knife was stored are gone!"

The words surprised both Lee Gun and Hugo.

Hugo, who had his arms crossed, reacted as his eyes flashed. "If you think you can get away with a half-assed excuse like that..." A light flashed in his eyes as wild magical energy erupted from his body. It was the power of a Saint, and the ground started to shake

Boom!

The ferocious magical energy frightened Yang Wei. Even if Hugo had fallen from grace, he was a high-ranking Saint.
