The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

Chapter 57: The Abduction (2)

“Hehe, too easy.”

The person choking the owner was none other than the manager.

Having pretended to go to the restroom, he swiftly returned and strangled the owner.

The manager immediately placed the unconscious owner in the back seat and shouted towards the outside.

“What are you doing? Get in quickly!”

The interviewees, who had been dumbfoundedly observing the kidnapping process, hastily boarded the van.

Vroom—

As the vehicle set off, the interviewees still wore perplexed expressions.

“W-What are we doing now? Why did you… the owner…”

“Didn’t I tell you? We had a predetermined target.”

“And that was the café owner?”

“Yes.”

“…”josei

The interviewees glanced at the unconscious owner lying beside them, their faces filled with confusion.

They seemed to be in a deep slumber.

“You mentioned targeting a criminal.”

“Yes, that’s correct. The owner is a typical snake who recently got released from prison and now leads a new life after laundering her identity.”

“Snake… the owner?”

“With her background, do you think someone in their 30s could have amassed enough money to establish such a large business? It’s all money she has swindled from men.”

“Ah…!”

“She appeared kind-hearted, but what a surprising turn of events…”

They tried to feign surprise at the last moment, pretending they have been fooled by him, but Ryu Min saw through their act. They knew the truth, as the manager’s true intentions were clear as day.

‘Hehe, it’s so easy to deceive people, isn’t it? Even if I told them she’s from a family of criminals, they would have believed it, right?’

Narrowing their eyes, Ryu Min thought to themselves, ‘Labeling innocent civilians as criminals.’

The manipulation was designed to make it easy for them to commit murder by wrongly accusing innocent people.

There was no greater evil than that.

‘Their plan is to involve us in the killing, making it difficult for us to back out later.’

If they were to discover that the person they killed was an ordinary civilian, guilt would surely consume them.

And that guilt would make it easier for the manager to manipulate and threaten them.

On the other hand, the manager could try to convince them to establish a new order together.

That was the Café’s method to keep the players who had joined from ever leaving.

Ryu Min caught a glimpse of the thoughts of the impersonator and Black Flame Dragon.

‘Could the owner really be such a snake? If so she deserves to die.’

‘If she is, it’s still easier to kill her since she’s a criminal. Well, even if she isn’t, we have no choice but to kill her in order to join.’

Their thoughts were slightly different, but they both had made up their minds to kill the owner.

They believed that sacrificing one person was inevitable to become part of the café.

Screech—

The car, which had been cruising on the highway, abruptly came to a halt as it turned onto a narrow mountain road.

“We’ve arrived. This is the storehouse where the final interview will take place.”

The manager parked the car in a shabby storehouse nestled in the mountains and approached the owner.

Although he appeared to be an old man, he was a level 13 player, effortlessly moving the owner as if she were nothing.

Thud—

Even though the owner was carelessly dropped onto the floor, she remained motionless.

It seemed she was unconscious.

“Let’s leave her here and begin the operation. But before that…”

A wicked smile crept across the manager’s face.

“Does anyone want to have some fun? It would be a shame to just kill her like this, don’t you think?”

“Um…”

Black Flame Dragon, being young, had no interest in the owner, but the impersonator had a different mindset.

“Black Scythe? Judging by your thoughtful expression, do you have something in mind?”

“Well… If we’re going to kill her anyway, it would be a shame not to do anything.”

“Then why don’t we enjoy it together? No, this calls for generosity. I shall grant Black Scythe a special opportunity. Let him have some fun first, hehe.”

“Well then…”

The impostor swayed his hips and stepped forward without a hint of regret.

Reading his thoughts, it was clear that he had already made up his mind to kill the owner.

He considered it acceptable, even somewhat enjoyable, to engage in sexual assault before killing her too.

“Black Flame Dragon and Little Crock, please wait behind while Black Scythe finishes up.”

“Yes. I’ll make it quick.”

In that moment, Ryu Min stepped forward while Black Flame Dragon, seeming annoyed, stepped back.

“Just a moment.”

“Why? Little Crock?”

“May I go first?”

“Huh? Little Crock you want to participate too?”

The manager was surprised but soon wore a sinister smile.

“Hehehe, this is amusing. I didn’t expect someone as shy as you to be interested. But being in the prime of your youth at the age of 19… Ah! Is it your first time?”

“Yes? Yes…”

“Hehe, excellent. Black Scythe?”

The manager requested permission from the impostor, who was about to remove his pants.

“Sorry, but could you give Little Crock a chance instead? It’s his first time.”

“Well, if it’s her first time, then I’ll step aside.”

Without any disappointment, the impostor pulled up his pants.

In the meantime, Ryu Min, with an expressionless face, approached the impostor.

As they passed each other, the impostor spoke in a passing tone.

“Do your best. I’m making you a special concession here.”

Ryu Min also smiled and replied, “Thank you. I will make good use of the Rune of the Doppelganger.”

“Huh? Rune? What is…”

That’s when it happened.

Snap!

Ryu Min grabbed the impostor’s face with both hands and exerted a little force.

Crack!

Like breaking a chicken’s neck, the impostor’s head twisted, and he collapsed lifelessly to the ground.
