The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Chapter 34 - No, That's Not It (1)

They instantly felt like they had been doused by ice-cold water.

'The Golden Lion.'

Wide-shouldered and over 190 cm tall, the Leo Saint had a built body. He looked like a hero who had stepped out from a novel. Even though he looked like a playboy, he had the classic face of a Caucasian very popular with the opposite sex.

The members of the Gemini temple froze when they saw the Leo Saint. They didn't even have to ask; they could tell he was in a foul mood. A single mistake meant certain death for them. Even the general-rank Choi Sunghyuhk couldn't open his mouth. It wasn't just him. The employees around them had frozen in place too. The Golden Lion was that intimidating; a Saint carried that much presence.

However, out of them all, one person acted differently.

"...?" While everyone else was frozen, Lee Gun was laughing as if he were in disbelief. 'Why is this bastard here? He looks like he has just smelled raw sewage.'

The general of the Gemini temple did a double-take. He had seen the Leo Saint's expression. "I apologize."

A disciple never bowed down to a Saint they didn't serve. However, the general lowered his eyes without realizing it. It was a combination of fear and the position held by the man in front of him. A single misstep could immediately put the general on the Leo Saint's list. The general felt humiliated but laughed anyway. "It seems there was a mistake during the bidding process."

For a moment, the general felt his voice shake. Chun Sungjae and the guard found it admirable that the general was able to speak under such circumstances. They couldn't even look the Leo Saint in the eyes.

The Leo Saint's face was unreadable. He tapped General Choi's shoulder. "You know you will have to pay dearly for touching my item, right?"

The tapping on his shoulder was rough, but it was an encouraging sign.

"You should hand over my item right now. I really appreciate the Gemini temple for paying for it."

'What did he just say?' The general furrowed his brows. 'This beggar of a feral cat is overstepping his bounds.'

Whatever he thought, his opponent was a Saint. If he stepped out of line, he was dead. Although he wasn't in the position to take this loss, the general swallowed his pride. "Understood..."

But...

"What the hell is this bastard talking about?" At that moment, a cold laugh rang out.

"...!"

It was Lee Gun. Chun Sungjae's party looked at him in fright, but Lee Gun continued to laugh. "Hey. Have you lost your mind? Why is this yours? I'm the one who won the bid."

The general stared at Lee Gun as if the latter had lost his mind.

Lee Gun acted oblivious to their gazes and put a crooked smile on his lips. "Stop acting like a bully who's trying to take someone's lunch money. You wanna die?"

Everyone felt like their heart had just stopped. No one wanted to look at the Leo Saint's expression.

The trembling guard was the first to open his mouth. "M-maybe... he doesn't know what he looks like...."

'Yes. He's right.' Chun Sungjae was frozen, and he agreed with the guard inwardly. There was no way someone would say something so crazy if they knew who this man was.

In the end, the guard whispered to Lee Gun. "He's a battle Saint... If you go against a Saint, it's certain death!"

Lee Gun ignored those words as he slapped away the guard's hand. "You can buy it from me if you give me an additional 200 billion won. If not, fuck off."
