Descent of The Demon Master [EN]: Chapter 1449

“Then he’ll die.”

“Exactly.”

“Huh?”

“Why?”

“Ah, no….”

Kang Jin-ho couldn’t say anything and just stared blankly at Choi Yeon-ha.

‘Ah, she wasn’t saying it without knowing.’

‘I thought she didn’t know.’

“Killing him is a bit….”

“I know, right? If I had my way, I’d throw him into the Pacific, somewhere with lots of sharks.”

Kang Jin-ho had never once thought of himself as having a good personality.

A person who kills people for fun can’t possibly talk about personality. No matter who you bring, Kang Jin-ho is less than human.

But, uh….

‘She’s amazing.’

In some ways, isn’t Choi Yeon-ha’s personality surpassing Kang Jin-ho’s?

“Well, let’s leave it at that. It’s not that guy that I’m really angry about. More importantly….”

Sparks flew from Choi Yeon-ha’s eyes.

“Ask them what they’re going to do about that taxi driver bastard. I’m definitely not letting him get away with this.”

When Kang Jin-ho relayed her words, Ronnie took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat streaming down his forehead.

“First, we’ve put him in jail for sexual harassment. His taxi driver’s license will be suspended, and he will face legal penalties.”

“Is that all?”

“Legally, there’s nothing more we can do. So, here’s my proposal….”

Kang Jin-ho quietly looked at Ronnie.

A proposal?

“You can file a civil lawsuit. If you hire an excellent lawyer and make him pay a huge amount in damages, he’ll be financially ruined and have all his earnings seized.”

“That much?”

“America is the land of lawsuits. Civil cases are often a hundred times scarier than legal penalties. I think this is exactly one of those cases.”

Reynolds, who had been listening to the conversation, quickly interjected.

“We can introduce you to a lawyer. We’ll prepare the best lawyer for you. Of course, we’ll cover all the costs of the lawsuit. You two don’t have to lift a finger.”

“Hmm.”

Kang Jin-ho looked intrigued.

It wasn’t the direction he wanted, but the result didn’t seem bad.

But that wasn’t the real problem.

Choi Yeon-ha, who had been listening to Han Eun-sol’s translation, looked sullen.

“It’s not very direct. Can’t we just beat him up?”

Kang Jin-ho stammered.

“You shouldn’t solve everything with violence.”

Lee Hyun-soo and Wiggins unknowingly opened their mouths.

‘My god, did those words really come from the Lord’s mouth?’

‘How could he make the Lord say something like that?’

At one time, Lee Hyun-soo had wondered why Kang Jin-ho wasn’t teaching Choi Yeon-ha martial arts. Even if it was someone else, Choi Yeon-ha was already deeply involved in the martial world.

If she was going to be with Kang Jin-ho in the future, she couldn’t claim she wasn’t a part of the martial world just because she hadn’t learned martial arts.

But at this moment, Lee Hyun-soo clearly understood the reason.

‘That person shouldn’t learn martial arts.’

Choi Yeon-ha becoming a martial artist?

The thought alone was terrifying. Just cleaning up the messes she would make would be enough to make Lee Hyun-soo go bald.

‘Should I call this a match made in heaven, or a case of like attracts like?’

Neither is a good thing.

“A lawsuit?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Hmm….”

Choi Yeon-ha tapped her cheek with her finger. She seemed to be thinking about what would happen if she filed a lawsuit.

“Can we completely crush him?”

“Of course. More devastatingly than you can imagine.”

“Then I’ll be satisfied with that. It’s a shame I can’t see it directly, though.”

“Thank you for understanding.”

Reynolds bowed deeply.

‘Damn it, what a mess.’

His back was soaked with sweat. His shirt was already completely wet and stuck to his back. The thought that everything could have gone wrong because of that idiot taxi driver made him dizzy.

‘These damn cops.’

And the police who responded were the same.

Ronnie, who received Willie’s fierce glare, sighed deeply.

‘We need to strengthen the training.’

He had thought that a problem might occur someday, but he never imagined that such a major accident would happen. Still, somehow, it was resolved….

“Chief.”

Ronnie’s head shot up at Kang Jin-ho’s voice.

Kang Jin-ho looked at him with slightly lowered eyes. The moment their eyes met, he felt like his whole body froze.

‘How powerful is he?’

He had seen many people so far, but he had never met anyone who could freeze him with just a look. Of course, this wasn’t a matter of power but of martial arts, but Ronnie had no way of knowing that.

“I will continue to receive reports on how this matter is being handled. I believe it will be handled well as you said.”

“O-of course.”

“But….”

Kang Jin-ho spoke softly.

“Don’t try to just get through this situation. If it’s not handled as you said, I will come back to America. And it won’t end like this then.”

Cold sweat formed on Reynolds’ forehead.

Of course, it wouldn’t end like this. Everyone here would have to resign. There was no need for Kang Jin-ho to personally retaliate. The superiors who received the report of the incident were already thinking about how to cut their heads off [metaphor for being severely punished].

If Kang Jin-ho expressed even a little dissatisfaction, not only the three people here but also nearly a hundred others would have to resign.

“That will never happen.”

“I understand.”

Kang Jin-ho quietly nodded.

“You can go.”

“Yes, then.”

Ronnie turned his head and exchanged glances with Reynolds. When he nodded, Ronnie quickly left the hotel room.

Thud!

As soon as the door closed, Ronnie leaned against the hotel wall and sighed.

‘What the hell was that?’

Even though everything was over, he still couldn’t understand. Who did he meet, and what did he resolve?

However, one thing was certain.

“Nick, that damn bastard….”

It was very clear who he had to go through all this because of. Ronnie gritted his teeth and hurried down the hallway.

Officially, he could only say that he was being suspended, but personally, it was different. He wouldn’t be able to calm down until he grabbed that guy by the neck and strangled him.

Ronnie took out his phone and pressed the button. As soon as the call connected, he yelled.

“Get the car ready right now! And put Nick in the chief’s office! I’m going there now!”

Ronnie hung up without waiting for an answer and repeatedly pressed the elevator button.

The people who turned their heads at the shouting from outside quietly returned their heads to their original positions.

Reynolds smiled awkwardly and opened his mouth.

“The chief seems very angry.”

“Hmm.”

Kang Jin-ho leaned back on the sofa.

“I thought America was quite an advanced country, but I didn’t know something like this could still happen.”

“As many people are mixed together, many incidents happen. That’s all part of America, but I hope you won’t judge America based on just one incident.”

Kang Jin-ho nodded.

Indeed, countless incidents happen in Korea every moment. If the incidents that happen in Korea determined the image of Koreans, anyone would feel wronged.

“If you had told us your schedule in advance, we would have sent a car… It’s our fault for not preparing in advance. I apologize once again.”

“It’s okay.”

Choi Yeon-ha drew a line.

“The incident happened, but it’s not your fault. Sometimes, when you live, you just step on bad luck.”

“Please watch your language….”

“Is there a more appropriate expression than that?”

“No, never mind.”

Kang Jin-ho quickly shut his mouth.

And Willie, who had been watching the two of them talk, added another piece of information to his mind.

‘He’s weaker to Choi Yeon-ha than I thought.’

It was the first time he had seen Kang Jin-ho stammer or be at a loss for words like that.

Considering that he was the one called the Demon King of East Asia, it was even more unusual.

There were already other three kings in East Asia. No matter how much he had mastered demonic arts, he couldn’t have earned the name of Demon King with just any personality.

Just looking at the information they had obtained about Kang Jin-ho, the number of people who had died already exceeded a thousand.

It felt very strange to see such a killer being scolded by an ordinary woman he could crush with one finger.

‘And he’s not even known to be a womanizer.’

The intelligence agency had already researched several times how to create a good relationship with Kang Jin-ho. Of course, among them was using a honey trap [a person used to seduce someone for information or blackmail].

However, no matter how they approached him, the honey trap didn’t work on Kang Jin-ho. Kang Jin-ho hadn’t even contacted any woman other than Choi Yeon-ha in the past few years.

Then what is it….

“Is there anything else you want to say?”

“Ah….”

Reynolds smiled awkwardly.

“I wanted to talk a little about what I mentioned before, but the situation isn’t good today, so I’ll go back. Would it be okay to visit again tomorrow?”

“Do so.”

“Yes, then.”

Reynolds immediately bowed his head.

At this moment, he just wanted to get out of Kang Jin-ho’s sight. Although he had calmed down, Kang Jin-ho had made him realize that he could kill someone with just his aura a little while ago.

“I will visit you tomorrow morning.”

When Kang Jin-ho nodded without answering, Reynolds left with Willie.

Reynolds, who carefully closed the door, gritted his teeth.

“Damn it, what the hell is going on!”

“…We almost had a big problem.”

“The big problem has already happened. Thanks to that, we’ve given up all our control! I couldn’t even look them in the eye while negotiating, and now I can’t even look at them! I’m going to crush those damn LAPD guys! Starting with that chief!”

“B-but a little while ago, you said it was okay….”

“What?”

Reynolds gritted his teeth.

“Forgive the guys who almost caused significant damage to the nation’s interests by touching a VIP just because the situation was barely resolved? That’s ridiculous! Someone has to take responsibility for this. Or are you going to take responsibility?”

“No, sir.”

Reynolds’ face contorted.

“Damn it, how am I supposed to report this situation? I have to pray that my head is still attached by tomorrow. Damn it.”

Reynolds walked down the hallway with a frustrated gait.

‘Because of one woman….’

His teeth were grinding.

Just because of one woman, the higher-ups were half turned upside down. When he thought about whether there had ever been such an absurd situation since the founding of the country, he didn’t even feel angry anymore.

“Strengthen the security.”

“Yes, sir!”

“Don’t just answer, think properly and move! We got this far just because a taxi driver opened his mouth! What do you think would have happened if that woman had been hit by the taxi driver?”

Willie, imagining the series of events, nodded heavily.

“I will strengthen the security.”

“Damn it.”

Reynolds roughly kicked the elevator door.
