I Became an Academy Fraudster
Chapter 29
Episode 29
I came out in front of the school gate at 9 o’clock.
A luxury car can be seen in the distance.
I looked out the window and saw Cha Ji-yoon riding inside.
From noble mtl dot com
“…Hello.”
As I got into the car, she glanced at me and lowered her head.
I also bowed my head.
“Yes. Hello.”
By the way, is it because of my mood?
Unlike usual, her eyes were full of suspicion.
Besides, unlike before, she stayed close to the car door.
It looked as if he was trying to distance himself from me even a little bit.
“I’m leaving.”
“…..Yes”
The car started immediately.
No word was exchanged between the two of us.
Originally, she had a quiet personality, but today it seems to be worse.
It was Cha Ji-yoon who broke the silence.
“…Can I ask you something?”
“Yes.”
“…I’m sorry to say this, but could you tell me how you knew about the unexplored dungeon?”
“….”
I was silent.
I couldn’t say that I knew because I looked around tediously before I possessed it.
I couldn’t even tell halfway lies.
With the information power of the ‘Samhwa’ group, they would easily see through my lies.
That’s more of a handshake.
“……”
When I didn’t answer, there was a long silence.
She spoke first.
“…The reason I say this is because I want to believe it. That one… “
She kept her mouth shut.
“Yes? Do you want to believe?”
“…Let me ask you one more time. Can you tell us how you got the information?”
“Yes. Sorry.”
“…No. You don’t have to be sorry. I asked something stupid.”
There was no conversation between the two of us after that.
The secretary said from the driver’s seat.
“Ah. I have something to report to you.”
It was the secretary who broke the silence.
“…What is it?”
“Recently, people from the information department of the ‘Oriental’ guild are gradually disappearing.”
“Did you find out anything?”
“Yes. It is assumed that it was the work of the devil. The police investigation also veered in that direction.”
“…Just yesterday, one more person went missing, right?”
“Yes. Really sad. The time of the crime was around 2 a.M. Yesterday.”
“….”
Cha Ji-yoon looked at me carefully.
As if to ask what the hell did you do yesterday and why you are late today?
Couldn’t you… Doubt me?
She tried to open her mouth, but then closed her mouth again.
She then cast her gaze back at the secretary.
“… Secretary, please keep talking.”
“Yes. That’s why we’re trying to find the prime suspects, but we’re still in the dark.”
“…I see.”
Cha Ji-yoon frowned.
“It is clear that the ultimate goal of the mine is ‘Cha Ji-yoon’.”
“…Yes, I think so too.”
“It seems that they are trying to cover Cha Ji-yoon’s ears as they eliminate the informants of the ‘Oriental’ guild one by one.”
“After.”
Cha Ji-yoon let out a deep sigh.
“But don’t worry. Because I will protect you.”
“……I believe.”
“I am very glad that you trust me.”
“…We’ve been together for over 10 years, so you have to believe it.”
“……”
I looked at the secretary.
The culprit who is making people belonging to the ‘Oriental’ guild disappear is Cha Ji-yoon’s secretary.
Still, he shamelessly lies.
However, there is no particular way for me.
The time she and the secretary have been together has been 10 years.
The trust built up over those years must be very great.
By comparison, I’ve been with her for less than a month.
Even if I said that the secretary was the culprit here, it was clear that even her seeds would not work.
Soon after, the car arrived in front of the secret auction house.
Click-
I opened the car door and Cha Ji-yoon and I went in front, and a guide in a suit came out.
“Welcome.”
He politely bowed his head.
“Come inside. We will guide you.”
He led us inside.
Inside, there were various colorful decorations such as chandeliers and small fountains.
“I really wanted to meet Cha Ji-yoon. It is an honor for me to serve you.”
He said with his eyes shining.
“…Yes”
“Then I’ll take you to the VIP room right away.”
He immediately showed us to the room.
In the room, there was a desk with simple refreshments and two chairs.
The size of the room looked like a studio.
“The auction is going on over there.”
The guide pointed to the window in front.
The auction house podium was visible at a glance.
“If there is an item you want to bid on, just press the red button in front of it.”
There was a red button on the right armrest of each chair.
“Oh, yes. And see the green button?”
There was a green button on the left armrest of each chair.
“If you press that button in case of an emergency, our staff will come to you. Then have a good time.”
He bowed his head and walked out of the room.
The auction started shortly thereafter.
“Come on. Nice to meet you all. I am Lee Ki-moon, who is in charge of hosting this auction. I look forward to. Now, shall we start by looking at things?”
Masked staff moved a transparent box on top of the auction house.
A sharp dagger was shining inside.
“Now, speaking of this dagger, it is the dagger that Napoleon always carried in his bosom. Of course, authenticity has already been verified. I will start lightly with 30 million won.”
“100 Million.”
“The gentleman over there called for 100 million. Is there anyone else you want to call?”
“150 Million.”
The amount of the dagger just rose to the ceiling.
“Come on. Then it was awarded for 400 million won. Congratulations.”
“….”
As expected, it is a place where people with some money come, so the basic unit is different.
So many items passed by.
“We are already at the end of the auction. Everyone can look forward to it.”
A very old-looking sword was placed on top of the podium.
“Hmm..?”
“What the hell is that…”
The audience tilted their heads.
“Speaking of this sword, it suddenly fell from the sky in the 1700s, and although the origin is unknown, it is expected to have great power hidden…”
The moderator took all the words on the sword and sent them.
“In the 1700s, the passage to the underworld was open. Experts speculate that this sword was used by the Demon King of Destruction during his lifetime.”
“Has that been confirmed as true?”
“…No, not confirmed.”
The audience’s reaction became cold in an instant.
One of the big reasons people use auction houses is that they guarantee authenticity.
Because if it is later discovered that it is not genuine, you can get a reward.
However, even at these auction houses, items that have not been verified as authentic sometimes come out.
Of course, if you buy that item, you won’t get any compensation even if it turns out to be a lie later.
That’s why people are extremely reluctant to buy things that have been confirmed to be genuine.
“Then I will start with 10 million won.”
As expected, the starting price is low, befitting a sword whose authenticity has not been verified.
I pressed the bid button.
“10 Million won.”
“Now, 10 million won came out. Are there any more?”
However, it was quiet inside the auction house.
As expected, it seems that you can win a bid at a relatively low price, as it is an item whose authenticity has not been verified.
“Yes! The gentleman over there won the bid.”
That sword has no effect on normal people.
However, the moment the demon holds it, the words change.
When the magic spirit and sword emitted by the devil resonate, it becomes possible to hypnotize others.
In that case, the hypnotized person becomes a complete puppet.
Later, the secretary kidnaps Cha Ji-yoon and hypnotizes him with that sword.
Having become a puppet like that, Cha Ji-yoon dedicates the ‘Samhwa’ group to his secretary.
We must prevent the ‘Samhwa’ group from falling into Mine’s hands.
To get the sword, I left the VIP room on the 2nd floor and headed to the auction floor on the 1st floor.
That moment.
Wajangchang-
A window in the auction house was completely shattered, and a man wearing a black mask came in.
The man cut the head of the presenter standing on the podium in an instant.
“!!!”
The expressions on the audience’s faces began to distort in an instant.
“Kyaaah!”
“Get out quick! Here”
In an instant, the inside of the auction house began to become a mess.
The man walked over to the podium and grabbed his sword.
It seemed like they were aiming for that and infiltrating here.
That means that person knows the hidden effect of that sword.
Originally, no one should have known the hidden effect of that sword at this point.
Tee-Ring-
At that moment, a notification sound was heard.
[‘Possessor-only difficulty’ – The time when the secretary of ‘Cha Ji-yoon’ notices the effect of the sword is much earlier.]
What?
I don’t know why this notification popped up all of a sudden.
But at least I think I can find out who the intruder is now.
That Cha Ji-yoon’s secretary planned it.
I sent an urgent text message to Cha Ji-yoon.
[‘Nam Do-yoon’ – Never follow the secretary even if he calls. That person is Mine.]
The door to the VIP room is so strong that it doesn’t break easily.
At least with the strength of Cha Ji-yoon’s secretary, I can never break down that door.
That means Cha Ji-yoon is safe as long as she stays inside the VIP room.
However, Cha Ji-yoon’s reply did not come back to me after that.
I quickly started running to the VIP room where Cha Ji-yoon was.
