You Will Be Blessed If You Do Good Deeds¿-Chapter 187
“What the hell are you talking about!”
Of course, the people’s reaction to Jeong Da-on’s words was immediate.
“This shameless girl... ... What does she know? What? Illegal embezzlement? The price of a crime?!”
“That’s because the whole country was asking for her just because she saw the Ineunggeom once, so she’s being arrogant! Hey, do you think you’re capable of anything?”
“Kang Kyung-joon, what are you doing? Catch that guy right now!”
“No, that... ... There’s some kind of misunderstanding... ... Wait a minute, hyung! First, calm down... ... Jung Da-on Hunter, talk to me for a minute... ... .”
“Calm down, or what, are you rebelling right now? Why don’t you clean that up right now?!”
Kang Kyung-joon tried to calm the angry old men down while sweating profusely, but it didn’t seem like he would calm down easily.
“What is this illicit gain, you little X, do you know how much I’ve contributed to this country!”
A man whose face turned red and spit flew out.
“I should be receiving an award instead.”
He may not be as famous as Son Hyung-hwa or Lee Hyun-joon as a first-generation hunter, but he has been working in the industry longer than those who left the industry due to accidents.
“Now, you guys are growing up comfortably because we’ve established the system. Back in my day, we didn’t have any education? We were thrown into a dungeon with just a sword or a gun! In those days, I made it this far with just my bare hands, but do you think the country cares? And what do you think of our taxes?”
The man was genuinely angry. He felt insulted.
In reality, he must have done a lot of things.
He’s a fairly high-ranking member of the Korean Hunters Association.
And most of the others had similar reactions.
Verbal abuse poured out here and there.

“Who the hell put that kind of talk in her ear? Huh? Kang Kyung-joon, is that you?”
“Huh? No, I... ... .”
“You little punk... ... were you going to report her? Huh?”
“Yeah, that young girl is acting cocky because someone like you is putting that kind of nonsense in her ear!”
Even the elders of the Central Committee of the Constitutional Court began to push Kang Kyung-joon even harder.
In the first place, they didn’t even respect what Jeong Da-on said as a proper opinion.
“Everyone, calm down for now! I’ll explain it to you, so for now... ... !”
Thanks to that, Kang Kyung-joon, who was caught in the middle, was the only one who could do nothing but sweat and shout in vain.
Bam!
“Ouch!”
Kang Kyung-joon, who tried to stop her, got hit.
The old man who had swung his fist at Kang Kyung-joon shouted in frustration.
“What are you doing? Bring him in front of me right now and kneel! I, I lost my leg to protect our citizens, so I don’t even have a knee to kneel on!”
As he said, one of the old man’s legs was a prosthetic.
Kim Yi-hyun also knew how much the old man suffered after losing his leg while fighting monsters, because he had heard the story every time they had a drink together.
“This isn’t something we’re doing just for our own good, it’s something we’re all doing to live well together! Why should I be treated like this by a child, you idiot?!”
“Yeah, if it weren’t for us, more than half of the Republic of Korea would be dead by now! You don’t even know about those times, dammit... ... .”
“What did we eat so much in the first place? You’re talking to good people like us instead of catching real thieves... ... !”
In fact, their reactions were natural.
Of course, the authors here have used many methods to gain unfair profits.
This time, they were planning to make a killing with the tax money under the pretext of educational infrastructure and such.
However, it is true that they did contribute to the security of the country as people with supernatural powers during the chaos when the monsters first appeared.
However, telling them to pay the price and retire was no different from denying all the years they had lived.
If they had quit and regretted it because of a word from Jeong Da-on who suddenly appeared, they would not have even gotten to this point in the first place.
Aren’t they people who have lived by their desires for too long to change so suddenly?
Would it be possible for them to repent for what they have done and retire because of a word from a young woman?
In fact, the idea that someone can change their ways with a word... ...is a dreamlike story that only comes from a fairy tale.
However.
‘... ... It’s not like Jeong Da-on doesn’t know that.’
The old people who are having a fit at that comment right now must have only seen Jeong Da-on on the news.
That’s why they think Jeong Da-on is just a lucky person who was born with talent despite being young and are acting like that.
That’s how they’ve always lived in Korean society.
Usually, the ones who can’t follow the social order and speak up are treated as tactless and get cut off.
However, Kim Yi-hyun wasn’t like that.
Of course, I don’t really know Jeong Da-on... ... but I knew that he wasn’t the type of person to dream of a fairy tale-like ending.
‘This... ... is what he really said.’
Kim Yi-hyun felt sweat running down his back.
‘He really intends to kill me... ...!’
Is it because he’s been away from the scene for so long?
Can’t those old people feel this energy?
Why don’t they even think about understanding Jeong Da-on’s words?
The issue wasn’t the taxes.
‘Breathe... ... I can’t breathe.’
At first, I didn’t notice because I was fighting the earthworm monsters.
However, when I confronted Jeong Da-on like this... ... there were so many strange things.
First of all, I wondered how he tamed that huge black panther monster.
-Monster appearance
-Rank measurement impossible
Even the system message said that low-rank measurement was impossible.
Even for an S-rank magician, it was the first time I heard of someone taming a monster whose rank was impossible to measure.
Even that huge monster was leisurely enjoying Jeong Da-on’s touch like a cat.
Furthermore, when Jeong Da-on appeared, the earthworm monsters that seemed like they would prey on people at any moment held their breath and stopped moving.
As if they were waiting for a typhoon to pass.
And this pressure.
Although the inspector is less sensitive to the control of surrounding magic power than magic, that doesn’t mean he can’t sense the flow of magic power.
Right now, all the magical power in this area seemed to be aiming at the necks of the Hunter Association members, including Kim Yi-hyun.
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
Magic power is a mysterious power whose true nature has not yet been determined, but once a Hunter awakens, magical power is no different from air.
However, the air in this dungeon world, as if something strict would not allow life.
It seemed to be thrusting its teeth sharply.
Cold sweat dripped down to the ground.
‘This is beyond common sense. This is not a problem I can handle... ...!’
Kang Kyung-jun spoke to Kim Yi-hyun, who was standing there blankly, as if he had been nailed down.
“Hey, Kim Yi-hyun! You’re watching too, but... ...!”
“I... ... It’s not me!”
Kim Yi-hyun immediately fell to the ground.
It didn’t matter that his hands were covered in dirt and his clothes were a mess.
“I was wrong. I’ll tell you everything and pay the price!”
The atmosphere around him became tense at Kim Yi-hyun’s sudden actions.
“I, I, I... ...! What are you doing?”
“Isn’t that a traitor? Hey, Kang Kyung-joon. How on earth do you manage your subordinates?”
“Your little bastards are the whistleblowers, right? Huh?”
“No, why is that bastard suddenly... ... Hey, Kim Yi-hyun! Get up!”
“T-Please save me! Please save me!”
Kim Yi-hyun didn’t pay any attention to the commotion around him.
That’s because the strange being sitting on the back of the black panther was looking down at him.
Kim Yi-hyun let out a snorting sound and shed tears on the ground.
Before he knew it, the giant earthworms had multiplied to the point where there was no room to step, but he didn’t have time to think about them as disgusting.
“I was wrong. I will tell you everything I know and pay the price, so please just let me live. Really, really, I will never do something like this again!”
“Hey, Kim Yi-hyun... ... !”
“Compared to those people, I really didn’t do anything special. I just failed at investing in virtual currency and was desperate for money, so I went crazy. I won’t do something like that again. Really!”
“... ... Hey, is this kid joking? Hey!”
Thud!
Kang Kyung-joon kicked Kim Yi-hyun in the back.
He didn’t raise his head, but he could feel the contemptuous gaze pouring down on him, as if he was looking at filth.
“I made a mistake... ... What kind of kid is this? Are you not standing up straight? You idiot... ... !”
“Chief, just shut up and... ... !”
“Okay, that’s it.”
The one who said that was Jung Da-on, who had been silently watching people while making bombshell statements.
Kim Yi-hyun slightly raised his head and looked at Jeong Da-on.
A gentle smile appeared on Jeong Da-on’s face.
Clap, clap, clap.
The leisurely sound of applause echoed through the plains.
“I was right.”
“... ... ”
“As expected, humans don’t change. No one reflects, and instead, they rely on their age and status to talk nonsense.”
“What, what are they talking about?”
“Enough, come here right now... ... !”
“This won’t change even if the world changes or time passes. It’s just a problem that will always repeat itself as long as humans are humans.”
Jeong Da-on’s tone was very bored.
“Everything is because of that human’s desires.”
Thud.
Thud.
Something fell to the ground.
At first, I thought it was rain.
But it wasn’t.
The drops of liquid that had soaked into the ground were a deep red.
“They say it’s rational to exploit others to fulfill your own desires, and they put all their effort into showing off that shallow desire.”
Kim Yi-hyun found his nose bleeding.
“Well, humans don’t just exploit their own kind. They sacrifice everything for their own desires, squeeze everything out... ... But what is the meaning of life for those things?”
“... ... bang!”
Kang Kyung-joon, who was trying to get Kim Yi-hyun up next to him, knelt down.
And it wasn’t just Kang Kyung-joon.
“Huh, huh!”
“S... ... save me... ... ”
The old men who had been so angry were powerless fell to the floor one by one.
Someone was bleeding from the nose, and someone else bit their tongue and dug the ground to survive.
Because an unknown, huge force was pressing down on people from above like a compressor.
But there was nowhere to run.
Crack, crack.
“Huh, haaaaaa!”
The old man with the prosthetic leg looked at the earthworm that had swallowed his leg with eyes of disbelief.
Thousands of teeth clicking and scraping the metal made a creepy sound.
The old man struggled and tried to swing his sword, but it was no use.
The giant earthworm wriggled, little by little... ... swallowing the old man’s body.
The old man screamed.
“Monster, monster! You little monster!”
“Hahaha.”
And, Jung Da-on’s laughter was strangely mixed in with the screams.
“Which one is the monster?”
“This, this... ...!”
The old man, who was about to shout something, was unable to finish his words.
That was because the giant earthworm swallowed his body.
“Ugh... ... ugh... ...!”
“Ah, aaaah! Sa, save me! Please... ...!”
“I was wrong, I was wrong!”
A few people who had finally figured out the situation screamed like that, but nothing was resolved.
Even if they tried to swing their swords or use items, the pressure of the magical power from above crushed them without mercy.
In the end, every single one of them was swallowed up by the mouths of the giant earthworm monsters.
Finally, only silence remained in the once noisy plains.
And, Kim Yi-hyun, who was left until the end, crawled on the floor.
Kim Yi-hyun crawled on the floor like that and finally reached Jeong Da-on’s feet.
And Kim Yi-hyun desperately pleaded.
“S-please save me. I... ... I repented. I really repented... ... .”
“... ... ”
It wasn’t unreasonable for Kim Yi-hyun to beg like that.
Unlike the others, the monsters didn’t rush at Kim Yi-hyun, but the magical power that was pressuring him from all sides was still the same.
If Jeong Da-on had even a little bit of a change of heart, ... .
It felt like he could smell the blood of people in his nose.
Blood and tears mixed together and fell.
His usually proud face was a mess, but he didn’t have time to care about that.
“I... ... I’ll help you.”
“... ... ”
“Huh, you want to get your hands on the Hunter Association? Then I can help you! Really, I can help you!”
That was the result of Kim Yi-hyun racking his brain desperately.
That makes sense, if Jeong Da-on had planned this outrageous situation... ... there could only be one goal, right?
To get his hands on the Hunter Association’s Korean branch.
If most of the elders here die in this dungeon break, the organization will fall into chaos, and if Jeong Da-on shows up then, the Hunter Association will easily accept a new leader.
Jeong Da-on raised his eyebrows as he watched Kim Yi-hyun.
“You’re pretty quick-witted.”
“That, that’s right!”
Kim Yi-hyun saw a little hope in Jeong Da-on’s words.
“I, I... ... I’ll really be loyal. I’ll be loyal with my life!”
“It’s true that I covet the Hunter Association.”
Jeong Da-on looked down at Kim Yi-hyeon, who was hanging on to his feet, and spoke in a calm voice.
As if he had forgotten that he had just killed nearly twenty people.
“How many times have I been involved in incidents since I woke up? It’s really annoying. If I don’t want to get into trouble again, I need to get the Korean branch of the Korean Constitutional Court under my control.”
“Well, then... ...!”
“So I should pour out the rotten water and fill it again.”
Jeong Da-on looked down at Kim Yi-hyeon with pitch-black eyes.
Those eyes didn’t seem to be looking at humans.
“New wine should be put in new wineskins.”
It was creepy.
“No, no, no! No!”
Kim Yi-hyeon begged desperately.
“I really won’t do this again. I’ll never do this again and wash my hands of it... ....”
I have to tell him everything.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a lie. No, lying is better.
“My mother, no, my younger sibling... ... is sick at home, my family is sick, I really can’t do it without him!”
If I can survive, what can I do?
“Please save me, please save me, please save me... ... .!”
Tears and snot mixed together, everything tasted salty. He rubbed his head on the ground so much that ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) his nose smelled like dirt.
Kim Yi-hyun begged and begged to survive.
Jung Da-on lightly kicked away Kim Yi-hyun’s hand and looked around.
“It takes a long time to turn rotten dirt into proper soil.”
Jung Da-on’s vision was of an endless plain.
After being completely swallowed by monsters and the screams of people disappeared, there was not a single trace of humans on this plain.
It was as if humans had never lived in the first place.
“In the first place, the world became like this because the rotten seeds sprouted because of the farmer’s complacency.”
Jeong Da-on muttered as if talking to himself.
“If the rotten seeds had sprouted, I should have weeded them out so they wouldn’t pollute the surroundings.”
The reason he couldn’t do that was because of his negligence.
Or, hope.
The hope that humans will change someday.
Mistakes are just mistakes, and some people may wash away their mistakes and change.
If only someone would hold the hands of those who made mistakes.
If some good people don’t give up and support each other... ... Then, someday, goodness may overcome malice.
That was negligence.
It was a hope that was incredibly lazy and useless.
Humans never change.
“That’s why I failed.”
Jeong Da-on laughed quietly.
Beside him, a black panther that had shared a piece of its soul as if comforting its master bumped its head.
Receiving such comfort from his followers, Jeong Da-on's gaze was focused on one place.
Despite all this commotion, there was a man standing tall.
Everyone was struggling to survive in front of the monsters, but this man... ...
At some point, he stood alone as if he had been forgotten by everyone.
No, perhaps he had actually been forgotten.
This man was living in a completely different world from them.
With dazzling blond hair and green eyes.
A man with a beautiful form that seemed to have been created.
Theo Yovanovic was quietly looking at Jeong Da-on.
Jeong Da-on said to the man.
"Isn't that right, Unnie?"
