Chapter 24

Episode 6 – Judgment Time (2)

Just as I was about to open my mouth, I heard Cheon Inho's voice.

"Oh, Dokja-ssi! You came just in time."

Cheon Inho smiled as he found us. I had a foreboding feeling as Cheon Inho spoke in a loud voice.

"Dokja-ssi has a lot of coins! How much? You are probably the richest one among us, right?"

[The character 'Cheon Inho' has activated the 'Incite Lv. 2' skill.

The crowd looked my way.

"C-Coins?"

"Who has a lot of coins?"

It didn't take long for all eyes to turn to me. Cheon Inho, he was a really great guy.

"Y-You are Dokja-ssi?"

"Please save me!"

People panted as they approached. The number of people flocking was estimated to be at least 20. If I gave all these people coins, I would lose 2,000 coins. But if I didn't give them coins, I would become a big villain of Gumho Station.

[Your understanding of the character 'Cheon Inho' has increased.]

"Haha, Dokja-ssi. I don't have the coins to help all these poor people but...isn't Dokja-ssi different? Will you just wait and watch?"

I sighed quietly. I had seen this trick one or twice.

[The constellations of the Absolute Good system have defined Cheon Inho as 'wicked'.]

I had enough of putting up with him.

"S-Save me!"

"Please save me!"

People burst into tears with the most pitiful expression in the world.

[Hahahat! This story is becoming fun. For reference, there are 10 minutes left!]

Bihyung spoke in a voice that was full of joy and the party looked at me with strange expressions. I let out a short sigh and slowly closed my eyes before opening them again.

"I see. You want coins?"

Then I laughed.

"Why should I?"

I looked around at the people. The first scenario was original sin. Thus, none of the people here were innocent.

That made it more disgusting. Those who trampled on someone else to survive, who couldn't even bear responsibility for their own life.

"W-Why?"

"You have a lot of coins! Can't you give us a few?"

In the midst of the confusion, Cheon Inho burst out laughing.

"I expected this from Dokja-ssi."

"..."

"From the very first moment Dokja-ssi showed up here. Didn't you sell food for coins? If you didn't make them buy food at that time, do you know how many people can survive now?"

"Yes! He is right!"

"Shit! Give me back my coins!"

Suddenly the atmosphere was flowing against me. Maybe this was what Cheon Inho wanted.

"Just a minute everyone! Your actions right now...!"

"Dokja-ssi isn't such a person!"

Yoo Sangah and Lee Hyunsung tried to diffuse the crowd but they had already lost their sense of reason. Then Cheon Inho drove in the last wedge.
