give me a champion
After a while.
Kim Jin-seong was heading to the representative office with his employees.
As he walked, Jinseong Kim had a hunch.
‘I’m sure he’ll be angry when he sees it.’
There is a lot to scold. He killed the twins right before the game, and he didn’t even drink the stimulant he was supposed to drink.
One could take issue with Go Jun-kyung’s ending being too overwhelming at the end. Wasn’t he the person who always shouted at me to ‘act’?
‘If you’re unlucky, you can cancel or extend the contract.’
Kim Jin-seong expected the contract to be extended by at least 1 to 2 years.
‘Well, I’ll have to make an excuse as best as I can. If it doesn’t work, there’s nothing we can do…’
By the time I thought that, I had arrived in front of the representative office.
After knocking and opening the door, I found CEO Cho alone smoking a cigarette.
With a very, very, very stern expression.
‘···This is ruined.’
Kim Jin-seong was inwardly discouraged.
The facial expression is also an expression, but wasn’t CEO Cho who absolutely hated smoking in the office?
But smoking…
‘I need to brace myself.’
In the worst case scenario, I even imagined that I might get hit with that glass ashtray.
Eventually, CEO Cho opened his mouth.
“Pack your bags.”
“···yes?”
Kim Jin-seong responded to a completely unexpected comment without realizing it.
“Pack the waiting room, you bastard!!”
CEO Cho immediately shouted.
“I decided to send you somewhere else, so get ready to change jobs!!”
“!”
“Don’t you understand that one word about packing? “You stone-headed bastard?!”
Representative Cho continued his verbal abuse, but Kim Jin-seong’s ears could not hear it at all.
I’m changing jobs!
Now Kim Jin-seong’s brain was completely filled with this one word.
“Whoa…Daejun will pick you up before lunch tomorrow. “Until then, pack your bags.”
After saying those words, CEO Cho turned his chair and showed his back to Kim Jin-seong.
Seeing that he didn’t even seem to be saying hello, Kim Jin-seong quietly turned around and left the representative office.
After hearing the door close.
“Whoa~ Fuck you…”
CEO Cho exhaled smoke from his cigarette again and began muttering to himself.
“It’s really like giving me a dog after making porridge. “If I had known this would happen, I would have just taken out a loan somewhere…”
If I had known that a key player would be taken away so vainly, I would not have accepted the investment money so quickly.
But regretting it is useless. Because of that damn ‘player contract’, Kim Jin-seong will become a player for the Coliseum tomorrow.
‘At least I should consider it fortunate that I no longer need to return my investment…’
But the good news is that CEO Baek said he no longer needs to repay the investment. Instead of paying the transfer fee, it was reduced.
Still, CEO Cho was not happy at all. Isn’t it about 5 billion at most?
This is an absurdly small amount compared to what Kim Jin-seong will earn in the future.
“Whoa, fuck, I have to wake up early tomorrow morning, so I can’t drink, fuck….”
I feel like I want to pour myself a bottle of whiskey, but that’s impossible because of tomorrow’s schedule.
All he could do now was chain smoke endlessly and lament about his situation.
* * *
Meanwhile, Kim Jin-seong, who was heading to the waiting room, felt like he was dreaming.
‘You’re leaving this underground tomorrow? really?’
I still couldn’t believe it. When tomorrow morning comes and I ask again, CEO Cho says, ‘What do you mean? It seemed like he was going to make a fool of himself by saying, ‘Did you dream?’
‘Could it be a lie?’
But is there any reason to lie like this? The truth will be revealed tomorrow, right?
‘Hey, I don’t know. ‘You’ll find out tomorrow, well.’
He decided to think as positively as possible. Suspecting that he’s lying will only make him feel worse.
“Go in.”
Soon they arrived in front of the waiting room door, and Daejun put him inside and locked the door again.
At the same time, the entire waiting room suddenly became quiet.
A situation where everyone is silently looking at Jinseong Kim.
Some have eyes filled with awe, and others have eyes filled with fear.
All of those looks were reactions that came from recognizing Kim Jin-seong as the strongest person in the underground.
“···.”
Kim Jin-seong reads the children’s eyes without saying a word.
It was then.
“excuse me···.”
A group of children came from a corner and started talking to him.
They are former members of Go Jun-kyung’s gang.

“Well, I’m sorry for bothering you when I was new. “I apologize if I offended you.”
“Honestly, we didn’t mean to bother you! “I did it because Go Jun-kyung asked me to do it…”
Just looking at it, he seemed to have fallen out of favor after Go Jun-kyung died, so it seemed like he was trying to cling to Kim Jin-seong somehow.
I never thought the day would come when these guys show up in such a low manner.
Is it because Eul is always bullied? I felt very strange when this situation came up.
‘Well… I don’t really feel like I want revenge.’
Thinking that I would soon be leaving this underground place, I suddenly felt tolerant of the whole situation.
So he answered softly and with a smile.
“are you okay. “I didn’t feel bad.”
“Yeah, right? ha ha ha! Did I tell you? “I heard Jinseong has a big heart, unlike Go Jun-kyung and that bastard?”
“I’m sorry, but could you please get out of the way? “I have to finish the incinerator work on time.”
“uh? Uh…”
Kim Jin-seong walked through the former Go Jun-kyung’s gang, which quickly split left and right.
Until they entered the incinerator and closed the door, the children kept their eyes fixed on Kim Jin-seong.
‘···There are a lot of people to deal with today.’
Kim Jin-seong thought as he looked at the more than ten boys lying on the floor of the incinerator.
Today’s PPV was the largest ever, so there were a lot of matches, and that meant there were so many victims.
Jinseong Kim immediately began checking the pulse of each fallen corpse.
‘···Almost everyone is dead. I guess it’s because a lot of time has passed since the game ended.’
Normally, Kim Jin-seong would have come down right after the game, and there would have been many living corpses.
However, today there was a lot of delay before and after the game due to the championship match, and the time to meet with CEO Cho was also delayed a lot.
In fact, it’s already been almost 3 hours since the game ended…
‘Are you really not able to save even one person… huh?’
Kim Jin-seong’s actions, which continued to pick up the corpse’s wrist, stopped.
The person whose pulse is beating very thinly on this wrist is…
‘Park Seong-tae…’
Kim Jin-seong looked at the bloody face of Park Seong-tae, who was lying at the end of the line, with a stern expression.
“···Are you here now…Brother…?”
Park Seong-tae’s voice can be heard right away.
He opened his eyes with difficulty, forced the corners of his mouth to raise, and continued speaking.
“Come quickly… While I was waiting… I was lonely… I almost died…”
“···.”
“Huh… bra… more…”
Park Seong-tae’s voice gradually becomes quieter. A lot of the liveliness of the eyes has also disappeared.
Park Seong-tae will soon die. Just like the more than 100 boys who have died before Kim Jin-seong’s eyes.
“My…last thing to say…”
“I will listen.”
“If you get out of here, be sure to give the necklace to my older brother.”
Kim Jin-seong personally took off the necklace hanging around Park Seong-tae’s neck.
At the end of the necklace was a photo of three brothers smiling, arm in arm.
“Jinwoong… I told my brother I was sorry for disappointing him until the end.”
“I will definitely tell you.”
“thanks···.”
Kim Jin-seong grabbed his neck right before he died.
“······.”
Park Seong-tae, whose eyes widened for a moment, immediately tilted his head to the side helplessly.
▶ You have defeated the wicked.
▶ Obtained 5 Vis Creama points.
▶ You can acquire the opponent’s skill, ‘Indomitable Fighting Spirit’.
▷ Indomitable Fighting Spirit: When activated, all recovery speeds increase by 50% for 10 minutes. It has a cooldown of one hour.
Jinseong Kim looked at the notification window and nodded.
‘It’s because of this skill that you were able to fight so viciously on the field… huh?’
A strange thing appeared in Kim Jin-seong’s eyes.
It was something that kept popping up in my mind before the notification window ended.
▶ You currently have the skill limit.
▷ Number of skills currently possessed: 3
▷ Current skill slots: 3
▶ To acquire ‘Indomitable Fighting Spirit’, you must discard one of your existing skills.
▷ Currently possessed skills: ‘Awakened Fighter’, ‘Shock Mitigation’, ‘Single Strike Special’
▶ To acquire a new skill, select one of the existing skills to discard.
‘What, wasn’t it possible to obtain infinite skills?’
Traits that permanently increase abilities can be obtained indefinitely.
So I thought the skill would be like that, but I guess not.
Although he was disappointed, Kim Jin-seong began to think about which skills to discard.
The conclusion I came to after thinking about it for a while was:
‘Let’s abandon shock mitigation. ‘Because this can be replaced with Maggi.’
I don’t know if it can mitigate all attacks, but it is a trait that can only mitigate damage below 1000.
It even consumes 50 mana. Magi can momentarily defend against stronger impacts by consuming only 1 Vis Crimea point.
‘There is a possibility that you will gain better defensive characteristics later.’
Kim Jin-seong made his choice right away.
▶ The ‘Shock Mitigation’ skill has been discarded.
▶ The ‘Indomitable Fighting Spirit’ skill has been acquired.
‘It’s fortunate that the magic and recovery skills don’t overlap.’
Looking at it, it seemed like skills that used Vis Crimea points were an exception.
It was fortunate. If the skill slots were taken up by magic and recovery, I would only be able to have one of the three skills I currently have.
‘Okay then…’
After Kim Jin-seong woke up next to the dead Park Seong-tae, he walked to the incinerator machine and pressed the power button.
‘Today is the last time I pick up the children.’
He was looking around the entire incinerator with eyes filled with emotion, then he picked up Park Seong-tae’s body and put it into the incinerator.
* * *
The next morning.
Representative Cho’s luxury car, which had left around 10 o’clock just after rush hour, was driving toward the General Government Complex.
CEO Cho, who had left the driving to the driver, was talking on the phone while sitting comfortably in the back seat.
[From the Colosseum side…?]
“okay.”
CEO Cho responded to the surprised voice of his right-hand man, Daejun.
“This is a secret only you and I know. know? “When we scout kids at the Colosseum, we never reveal it until the program starts.”
[I know, brother. It is famous for canceling casting and filing a penalty lawsuit if it is revealed in the middle.]
“So, go meet them yourself without the others noticing. Don’t let him into the CEO’s office just to entertain you, but take Kim Jin-seong straight to the underground parking lot. Understand?”
[I understand, brother.]
“I can’t go in today, so you have to do well. Understand? “Be sure to report when you’re done!”
[Don’t worry, have a nice trip, brother.]
“Yes, I only trust you.”
CEO Cho hung up the phone.
Kim Jin-seong will now take care of Dae-jun. the problem is···.
‘It’s about how to persuade viewers well…’
Viewers will also be well aware of the fact that the Colosseum frequently scouts athletes from illegal arenas through articles.
But Kim Jin-seong is the champion. He is the face that represents this club now.
It’s only been one day since he ascended to the throne.
There will be a lot of backlash from viewers for going out at a time like this. In particular, VIPs may come to CEO Cho openly and accuse him of fraud.
‘Ha, fuck. It’s full of trouble. Today again, I have to somehow persuade the clerk to ask for a double bribe…’
It was a time when I was scratching my head because of stress.
“Huh?!”
Suddenly, CEO Cho looked straight ahead at the driver’s panicked cry.
“···!!”
Immediately, my eyes widened.
A huge truck was driving in reverse towards their car at incredible speed!
Quang!
Soon a large collision occurred, and the entire front seat of CEO Cho’s car was dented.
Of course, the driver in the driver’s seat looked like he had died instantly.
However, CEO Cho did not die luckily. He was also a backseat passenger, and getting into the habit of wearing a seat belt saved his life.
“Ugh…!”
However, it was not in good condition.
While covered in blood and groaning, CEO Cho uses his mana to force open the dented backseat door and gets out.
After that, he was unable to stand up and immediately fell to the floor, panting heavily.
“Heo-eok… Heo-eok… Heo-eok…”
“I lived it, yes.”
“···!!”
At that time, CEO Cho’s eyes widened when he heard a voice coming from his bedside.
A middle-aged man in a suit looking down at him from directly above his head.
It was Yang Jung-geun, the Dream Gold Clan master.
* * *
10 am.
Kim Jin-seong, who had just come out of the waiting room, boarded the elevator alone with Dae-jun.
The button Daejun pressed was B3. It was the last floor of the underground parking lot.
Apparently, the person who will take Jinseong Kim is waiting in the car in the parking lot.
‘Who is it? I hope this isn’t a place where they treat slaves…’
Kim Jin-seong is half worried and half excited, not knowing what to do.
Soon the elevator stopped, and the doors slowly opened.
Daejun walks into the parking lot with Jinseong Kim.
‘I said all I had to do was find a white limousine… Huh?’
At that time, he turned his head at the sound of loud tires coming from the parking lot entrance.
Doesn’t it look like five black vehicles are rushing toward the two at extremely fast speeds?
The sight of large figures coming to a sudden stop and then falling down all at once.
“uh? “It’s Kim Jin-seong!”
“Daejun is there too!”
“Kill me!!”
They immediately rushed towards the two.
