I Became a Scoundrel of a Chaebol Family-Chapter 100

“Are you... a knight by any chance?”

“Excuse me? No, I'm not. Why do you ask?”

“No, it’s just... the fact that you could slice a person in half with a sword....”

Is that even possible? No matter how skilled someone is, isn't that a bit much? What is this, cutting a bale of straw in half with a sword?

“I don’t understand what you’re talking about. The sword is the greatest weapon in all of human history. It’s only natural that a sword is more useful than a gun.”

“....”

Something about this... feels off from common sense.

‘...Just when I thought I was making a bit of an impact.’

A slight disappointment settled in. After acquiring a far superior piece of equipment compared to the miserable implants I had as a cop, I’d expected to really have some fun with it, but the job ended before I could even start playing around....

‘I look like a fool, getting excited over killing just six people.’

Sigh.

But he quickly shook it off.

How long has it even been, and he's already grumbling like this?

Besides, Levi and she aren’t even on the same level. Soo-ah had been a police team leader for a long time and was now just recently working as Chief of Staff under Go Muyeol, whereas Levi had been around here for quite a while.

Even if he's from a collateral branch, he’s still been working under the head of a massive corporation.

In terms of combat ability, of course, Levi would be overwhelmingly superior.

“More importantly, let’s clean up.”

“Ah.”

Soo-ah snapped back to her senses.

There’s no time to waste. She had to quickly gather up the Nokonoko Girls and present them, fresh, to her master.

“Load all the bodies into the cars and send them off to the sea.”

“Yes.”

“Roger.”

With the help of the Red Team, they roughly loaded the brutally slain bodies into the cars and activated the self-driving route on the designated path. The four cars would drive straight into the sea, getting rid of the bodies.

“All units, withdraw.”

Inside the car, it was as silent as a mouse.

The car boasted excellent soundproofing, but the close-range combat sounds had easily pierced through the noise insulation, broadcasting what had happened inside.

So, naturally, everyone fell silent.

Especially the manager sitting in the driver’s seat, who could observe the scene outside the window. Her face had turned ghostly pale as her hands trembled violently.

‘I-I’m... I’m going to die...!!! At this rate!!!!!’

With trembling hands, she barely managed to grab her phone and tried to contact the police.

However,

The screen was blank.

Touchscreen, voice recognition, gestures—none of it was working. The screen wouldn’t even turn on.

She tried contacting someone through the car, but that was also dead.

None of the controls worked at all.

“U-unnie... what... what’s happening...??”

The terrified members asked, looking to the manager. She glanced outside the window.

The corpse, split cleanly in half from the top of the head down to the crotch, lay there with its insides spilling out like overfilled soy-marinated crab.

“Ugh...!”

Unable to hold it in, she gagged.

She wrenched her gaze away from the window, choking back more heaving nausea.

“!!”

The members of the Nokonoko Headquarters saw her reaction and grew even more terrified.

What on earth was happening outside...!!

“I-is this... is this really happening?”

“A-are we going to die too?”

The gyaru-style girl shuddered, then snapped out of it and grabbed the door handle to open it.

But it wouldn’t budge.

“Agh! Aaaah!!!”

She desperately tried pushing, but it wouldn’t move.

She frantically pressed the unlock button, but nothing changed.

Then suddenly,

Whirrrrr.

The car began to move.

“Huh? Wh-what??”

The manager panicked and tried to control the vehicle, but it was still unresponsive.

It was just driving somewhere on its own, to some unknown destination.

Inside the car, the air was thick with screams and fear.

Nae Tae-hee, the representative of Nokonoko Headquarters, was busy even late at night. She was planning to squeeze out profits just for this week and then head off to Free America, so there was no time to rest.

This wasn't just her situation; the whole company was the same. Those who physically couldn’t keep up had no choice but to stop, but most of them kept grinding through tasks until late, trying to pull in as much profit as possible.

And honestly, it didn’t feel all that tiring. Seeing the profits hit record highs and the popularity skyrocketing made it feel like ten years’ worth of fatigue was melting away.

The amount they’d already earned was substantial. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say they could live comfortably for the rest of their lives without working another day.

Although, thinking about moving to Free America for a new challenge made it feel a bit tight financially.

‘Maybe... just one more week of work...?’

Temptation reared its head again.

If it were on the decline, she could let it go, but everything was on an upward curve.

Profits were good now, but next week’s profits would be even better, and unless something unusual happened, the week after would only bring in more.

Plus, the offers for advertisements or variety show appearances would need to be scheduled weeks in advance, and all those would have to be declined.

Combining everything, the expected earnings were....

‘Ah... this is bad....’

She casually checked her email.

She opened the one from Koryo Entertainment.

The contents, which she’d read several times already, seemed polite on the surface but held an icy undercurrent.

‘If you don’t join Koryo Entertainment, we’ll take separate measures.’

It was where the worst delinquent and notorious playboy, Go Muyeol, was the representative.

It was all too clear what kind of things they might do.

But....

‘W-well... so far... so far, nothing’s happened... so... shouldn’t it be fine if I just increase security...?’

It was then.

Knock, knock.

“President, it’s Im Mi-yeon.”

“Come in.”

The woman who handled the second-most tasks after the president entered, her face clearly troubled.

Seeing her expression, Nae Tae-hee felt a pang of anxiety.

“What’s going on?”

“Well... we can’t get in touch with the girls!”

“What? You can’t get in touch? What do you mean??”

“Just what I said! We can’t reach the manager, the security team, or the girls! We also can’t track where the car is....”

“!!”

Nae Tae-hee’s heart sank.

At a time like this, they couldn’t be reached??

Normally, this alone would be alarming, but now, with Koryo Group’s threats, they couldn’t be reached??

“Chae-yul...!!”

“We’re back, master.”

Soo-ah and the Red Team returned in an AV.

The Nokonoko Girls would arrive in the van, just as I’d ordered.

I wanted... to create an even more delectable situation.

“They had over twenty security personnel, right? Looks like the implant worked wonders. You’re a lot stronger now, aren’t you?”

“Ah... that...”

I was praising Soo-ah when she glanced to the side.

“Well, actually, it was mostly the Red Team Leader here who handled it.”

“Him?”

I shifted my gaze.

Levi, with her long, flowing hair reaching down to her waist, received my gaze and bowed her head slightly.

“Yes. She handled sixteen people in a second. And with just a sword.”

No way, is she that strong?

“So the tastiest one is also the one I assigned as team leader, and she’s that powerful?”

Subservience, Loyalty, Serenity, Swordswoman....

Wait, what?

Did I read that wrong?

Thinking my eyes must be off, I looked again.

[Levi (Bound)]

Species: Demon

‘A demon?’

This world does have demons, archdemons, monsters, and even ghosts... but isn’t this a bit out of nowhere?

Why is there a demon here?

Demons and monsters aren’t supposed to show up until the middle of the story, so what the hell?

‘No way....’

Then I noticed the word “Bound” next to Levi’s name.

The same mark that Baek Seol also has.

It means being bound to a master, an absolute form of obedience.

‘She’s been with me for a while now, but her affiliation is still listed as Min Ji-ah. That means....’

Min Ji-ah is the true master of this demon.

It’s not something that can be changed by ordinary means.

How is that even possible? Aren’t demons the enemies of humanity? For a demon to have a human master...

‘Wait... does this mean... Koryo Group created these demons and monsters? Is this some crazy mashup storyline or something...???’

I didn’t take the archdemon route, so I don’t know much about this setting, but if it’s really like that, it’s terrifying.

‘When I said I wanted Levi, Min Ji-ah didn’t even remember who Levi was. That means Levi’s just one of those common things she doesn’t even bother remembering.’

Could a demon really be so common?

‘Let’s consider the possibilities of Min Ji-ah not remembering Levi’s name as a demon.’

Min Ji-ah doesn’t know Levi is a demon.She has so many demons like Levi that they’re overflowing.She even has the ability to produce demons.

Those are the likely options.

Option 1 seems improbable. If Min Ji-ah were unaware of Levi’s true nature, Levi would have chosen to serve a human master on her own.

There’s no reason for a demon to do that.

It’s not like some contract between humans—this is literal binding of fate. Why would a demon do that?

So, that’s out.

That leaves options 2 and 3....

‘Both are ridiculous, though.’

Whether they have the means to secure and command demons, and there are lots of them,

or they actually have the ability to produce demons.

Both are shocking.

‘Does Koryo produce knights and demons? What is this, an onion? Just layer after layer of revelations.’

Of course, this is all just speculation.

It’s possible that Levi is an exceptionally rare demon and Min Ji-ah is just too dense to remember her.

She can be pretty air-headed.

‘Hmm....’

I held Levi’s chin and examined her closely.

From her face, you couldn’t tell any difference from a human.

And when I took her virginity, I didn’t notice any particular difference either.

‘Well, does it matter? Demon or human, as long as it tastes good.’

After all, she’s bound to Min Ji-ah, and Min Ji-ah is basically my slave anyway. I’ll think about the complicated stuff later and enjoy the fruits in front of me for now.

Screeeech.

“Master.”

Just then, a black van and the Red Team’s vehicles pulled into the parking lot.

“Levi.”

“Yes.”

“You did well. Useful even without eyes.”

“Thank you.”
