Closed Beta That Only I Played

If they had seen it on CCTV, they would have realized that shooting at me was useless.

But I felt like I knew their feelings because while they were shooting at me, their faces were contorted in fear because they knew it was futile.

So I moved my hands up and down as if to drive away a herd of flies flying at me.

I could easily block the bullets simply by swinging my hands.

"…"

"…"

"…"

They stared at me blankly.

So I said to them gently, "Didn't you expect this? You guys didn't hope you could kill me this time, right?"

Since I didn't expect a reply, I continued, shuffling on my feet, "Well, I understand your feelings in some respects because you have been hired as his bodyguards, no matter how bad he is. But this isn't America, is it? All the guys I confronted ahead of you had their feet smashed, so don't you think they would feel it unfair if you were not treated the same?"

As soon as I said that, I trampled on their feet.

No wonder they screamed in pain.

"Kheeeeek!"

"Khuuuuuuk!"

"Damn it! My poor feet!"

Their painful moaning filled the room in an instant, but I continued, uncaring, because I had seen and gone through much worse before.

"Hush! I don't like noisy stuff. I'm going to talk with your boss or your employer called Chaesan Lee from now on, so I hope you stay quiet. Besides, you want to save your feet, don't you?"

"Uppp…"

"Uppp, uppp!"

As soon as I said that, they stopped moaning in pain.

I walked up to Chaesan Lee, who was trembling uncontrollably.

In fact, I didn't want to do this much to him at first because his grandson was responsible for all the trouble. But I knew that his grandson Kyongyoung was becoming bold, full of greed, because of his grandfather Chaesan.

So I decided to root out the cause of this trouble.

Fortunately, Chaesan was more corrupt and worthless than his grandson.

I now stood before him and said in a low voice, "I hear you have lots of wealth. I've also heard the rumors that you're a tycoon of South Korea's underground economy and a top lender in the private loan market."

"…"

He didn't respond, so I continued, "I don't think you have deposited your money at the bank, right? And you must not have hidden it in other places when you have invested so much money in building a huge mansion like this…"

"..."

He still kept silent. But I didn't rush him to reply.

After all, he would have to tell me the whole truth because he was under my control now, and I was confident in making him reveal the information to me.

So I approached one of the walls, leaving him aghast.

It was literally a wall.

"Oh my God, it really looks real! I would not have noticed it if I had not sensed a human inside it!"

To be honest, I had no capabilities of detecting a hidden space, but I could easily sense the presence of a human inside the wall.

So I punched at the wall, revealing a small space, and a man hiding in there like a mouse.

As soon as the man hiding inside the secret space of Chasan Lee's study was discovered, he lowered his head, then said quickly, "I know everything about him! I have been serving Chairman Lee, or that man, for nearly 10 years, and I've managed his slush funds and hidden assets, including criminal funds! I'll tell you everything if you can spare my life!"

"Wow!"

Of course, I knew that the surest way to get rid of Chaesan Lee was to kill him because the dead didn't talk. And that's what I have been doing until now.

But I decided not to kill my opponents this time.

That's why I was content with breaking one of their legs when they charged at me with pistols instead of killing them.

As for Chaesan Lee, I decided to make him a total beggar by stripping him of all his assets. And the man who could make that possible was right in front of me.

So I raised him up, and said, "Don't worry. I know how to speak with people, and I like those who can speak with me."

At the same time, I said, pointing at those behind me, "Look back. When I told them to be quiet, they were quiet, so they had only one of their feet maimed. Their lives were spared. I'm not that brutal. Of course, I can be brutal sometimes. In such cases…"

Without finishing my words, I raised my right hand and pointed to the opposite side.

At that moment, ice formed on my index finger and flew straight to the opposite wall.

Bang!

First of all, his study room was very large because the bookshelves were almost as high as a three-story building.

But one of the huge walls was completely smashed by the ice shards.

Pasasasasak!

A huge amount of ice formed on broken and torn bookshelves.

Turning my glance toward the guy that I held in my left hand, I said in a low voice,

"I don't want you to change your mind. I don't like a man who changes his mind midway through."

"Of course not! I will tell you everything! I promise!"

"Okay, great. Then tell me right now."

"If you walk down this secret space, you can reach underground. There is a secret warehouse in that basement!"

As soon as he finished speaking, I raised my right hand again and pointed to the door leading to the outside.

Then I released small shards of ice that smashed the door in an instant, and froze over the exit.

In other words, the basement study turned into an enclosed space.

Obviously, Chaesan Lee and his men didn't touch the ice directly.

However, not only the one held in my hand, but also the chairman's bodyguards in the middle of the study and the chairman began to tremble violently, gritting their teeth, because of the freezing cold.

So I said softly, "Don't worry. It won't take that long. Let me tell you just in case. Don't even think about getting close to the ice chunks and touching them. You will immediately be frozen!"

After having said that, I moved to the underground of the secret space, guided by the guy I was holding with my left hand.

The further down I went underground, the bigger the path became, reaching the size of a large corridor.

Soon I faced a huge underground space.

At first glance, the underground space was larger than the space on the ground.

So, I had no choice but to exclaim, "Man, how much wealth did he amass to create this kind of space?"

The guy responded, "Korea's underground economy is by no means small. Each year, more than tens of trillions of won changes hands there. Chaesan Lee has been controlling the underground economy for more than 10 years. Moreover, taking into account his influence on the private loan market, he might be the richest person in Korea unofficially."

"In the end, wherever he goes, it seems that he can make money by using illegal means."

"…"
