The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Chapter 33: Look at this Bastard

"She fell down the stairs. It looked like she was having a fit."

"Huh." The Leo Saint burst out laughing. 'What? She fell by herself?'

It was an absurd statement. The Leo Saint looked at Sophie. 'What kind of tumble did she take that made her look like a bloodied corpse?' In the end, his eyebrows rose in a sharp manner.

Hugo became tense. 'It seems he won't fall for the absurd lie. I should've just tossed her over the roof when I had the chance.'

When the Leo Saint looked at him with suspicion, Hugo was about to get ready to fight.

"Whatever!" Unexpectedly, the Lion Saint snorted. "That woman is not my problem."

She was the Aquarius Saint. Before they became allies as the Zodiac Saints, the two of them had a bad relationship. They used to steal each other's Divine Status and EXP. Moreover, the Aquarius Saint had a lot of disciples, so she was a thorn to his eyes. Her god also had a far-reaching power. If the Aquarius suffered, it would be a boon to the other gods.

This was why the Leo Saint didn't care. In fact, someone here was more important than Sophie. The Archer Saint, Hugo, had never made an appearance in the past even when the Leo Saint had asked for his presence. So why was he here of all places? 'I threw all kinds of carrots at him to tempt him to betray Lee Gun, yet he completely ignored all my advances.'

On the other hand, Hugo's presence was understandable. The Leo Saint spoke, "It seems you came here alone to acquire Lee Gun's holy item. That's mine! A beggar Saint like you has no shot at acquiring it."

Hugo was surprised, but he said, "I see nothing has changed. You're still obsessed with Gun's items. But remember: you will never be Lee Gun!"

"What?"

"Anyway, you won't be able to take possession of that item today," Hugo continued.

"What did you just say?" It seemed the Leo Saint was oblivious to the fact that the owner of the item was present in the auction.

That was why Hugo had said that it would be impossible. He had mocked the Leo Saint, touching a very sore point.

"You're an archer with a broken bow."

'Why is Hugo being so confident today?' The Leo Saint's eyes flashed as golden magical energy flowed out of him.

[Food Chain] A chain made out of golden light appeared and floated into the air as if it were looking for prey.

In response, red energy erupted from Hugo's body.

Boom!

[Bloody Makeup] A flame tattoo appeared on Hugo's face.

Both of these men were battle-type Saints. Their power was rough. Their incredible magical energies were about to clash when it happened.

[Yes! One hundred million dollars! A hundred million dollar bid for Lee Gun's holy item!]

"!"

[Moreover, this is the fourth straight item they have bid on! The Gemini temple is flexing its incredible power. They are buying every item that has appeared so far in the middle of the auction!]

The coverage of the auction was being announced.

The surprised Leo Saint turned his head. His magical energy fizzled out. It was to be expected. He had instructed his underlings to purchase any item related to Lee Gun. Moreover, the Gemini temple was doing this! 'There is no way the Gemini temple would covet those items. No, I don't have time to think about such things.'
