I Became The Mafia Boss Inside The Novel

82  Arcane Academy (3)

At this moment, the students were all gathered around and whispered at one another while watching thee commotion.

"Hehe, that bastard Lee Jin is scamming a new guy once more. I can't believe this crazy punk haven't had enough,"

"I know right? Last year he tried that, he got his year paused by <nulli>that woman. I'm surprised he still haven't learned his lesson yet from that incident,"

"Well the new student he's scamming right now... is also quite something. He really has guts, that I can sincerely say,"

"Well, his club is backed up by that person so he can be as arrogant as he wants, as long as he don't offend the nobles,"

Hearing the hushed voices of the students gathered around, Elias and Hajin curiously went to look after the occuring commotion.

They squeezed through the crowd and finally saw what the commotion that everyone was talking about.

To their surprise, the commotion had to do with someone they knew.

At this moment, there were two people talking to each other. The first one was a thin, slimy looking man that was called by the students as Lee Jin.

Lee Jin was a thin and sleazy man with a mediocre face. He had the type of appearance one thought when thinking of scammers.

The second one, however, was someone Elias and Hajin were familiar with as they were just on their way to look for him.

It was Ragna.

Seeing that, Hajin whispered to Elias.

"...Big Fellas is getting scammed? Should we act cousin? I mean, he's probably stupid enough to fall for it... by the way, don't tell him I said that. I'll die."

"We'll wait. Let's see what's the scam first. This is very interesting."

Elias and Hajin looked at the commotion silently. They decided to watch what was happening first before making a move.

Lee Jin rubbed his hands together. He looked at Ragna's body and nodded appreciatively. He complimented with a convincing tone.

"Big guy, you have it in you. I can tell even for a mile away, you're something to be treasured. What do you say you join our club? My boss would love your company!"

"What are you talking about? Your boss wants to fight me?"

Ragna tilted his head while picking on his ears in boredom. He looked at Lee Jin disinterestedly like the the man was nothing but air.

"Ah, you know what, close enough,"

Lee Jin coughed awkwardly. This talk had repeated for a couple of times now and the man still didn't get it. Like his motto, don't mind the minor details just go with the flow.

He hurriedly took out a pen and paper and pushed it towards Ragna with a bright innocent smile. But his sleazy look made him appear rather sinister and conniving.

"Here. Sign it up and you can go meet my boss. He's really strong, so yeah, also don't mind the details in the contract, they're not that important."

"Whats this?"

Ragna looked at the paper in confusion. Thinking of something, he took the paper and read it for a moment. But after a glamce, he suddenly tore it into pieces, much to Lee Jin's shock.

"You... why the hell did you that?!"

"I can't read it. I don't want to look at it, that thing makes my head go into a mess. Makes me pissed off so I tore it apart. If you have a problem, call your boss, I'll wait for him anytime,"

Ragna yawned in boredom. He waved his hand in dismissal. His eyes swept to the crowd before it suddenly lit up as he saw a familiar face.

"You bastard...! You're finally here! You have the guts show your face in front of me?!"

The students gathered around raised their brows in surprise. They looked at the direction where Ragna was staring at and saw Elias.

"Hm, wait? Isn't he the guy with the princess and the heiress? So he's with this guy also...?"

"Now that you mentioned it. You're right. Let's watch, this is all getting very interesting. Come on, get your phones and take a record of this!"

Elias clicked his tongue in annoyance. He stepped out from the crowd and went to directly face Ragna up front. He had a disinterested expression.

"What are you getting angry about? You're itching for a fight, right? Let's do it right now. I happen to be free right now,"

"Right now? Right here? Lets go. Do you think I'm scared of you?! If you want we can fight elsewhere, I'll even carry you there so you won't run in the last moment,"

Ragna grinned widely, much to Elias amusement.

"Where did you get the impression I was scared of you? Be thankful I'm in a good mood right now so I can go easy on you."

"I'd like to see you try going easy on me, Corleone. I'll destroy you if you try to hold back. Do not hold back. I won't either."

"You have to earn it, Ragna. That's not how this works. You're the challenger here, not me."

Ragna and Elias stared at each other directly to the eyes before smiling at each other. There was no trace of fear, nervousness or anything of sorts.

At this moment, everyone was watching them go off while recording the video and completely forgot about Lee Jin.

From the side, Lee Jin clenched his jaw as he looked at Ragna and the torn papers. He gripped his fist tightly as his eyes shone a hateful glint.

Without anyone noticing, he quietly left the place.

At this moment, Hajin coughed and broke the tense atmosphere. He looked at Elias and said with some awkwardness.

"Uhh, this is not the place for you two to fight. Do you to want to get expelled or something? Besides, Crazy Nun is waiting for you cousin. She said she wanted to talk to you about something,"

"..She did?"

Elias frowned, turning his gaze to Hajin. What could that woman possibly want to talk about? Oh wait. Right... there's <nulli>that matter.

Hajin nodded slowly

"Yeah, after we arrived at this place her a group of people took her to somewhere. She told me to inform you that she wanted to talk to you in the chapel near here,"

"...Is that so?"

Elias was in deep thought. There was indeed a chapel nearby. But he was thinking if he should go or not. After a thinking for a moment, he looked at the frowning Ragna and shrugged.

"Let's schedule the battle to tomorrow then. You have no problem with that, Newgate? I still have some matters to settle."

"Hahahahahaha! Tomorrow it is. I can tell you just came back from a fight. It would be a pity to destroy you like this anyway!"

Ragna let out a boisterous laugh.

Seeing that the tension was successfully defused, Hajin sighed in relief. He looked at the students and shooed them away with narrowed eyes.

Wait—that scammer, Lee Jin, was <nulli>missing.

***

In the slums and dirty narrows paths of Ranker Society, Lee Jin walked deeper to the discreet abandoned alleyways.

After walking to the end of the alleyway, he stopped in front of a door. He knocked twice and waited for a moment with a tense expression.

It didn't take long vefore the door was opened by someone.

Inside the place, there was a group of students wearing a crude red armband drinking together on a bar table while staring at him with a glare.

"Lee Jin. You're late. The boss is waiting for you upstairs,"

"...Sorry, I was caught in with a troublesome matter."

Lee Jin squeezed out a nervous smile as he nodded to them. He hurriedly waved goodbye to them and went upstairs in a rush.

As soon as he went upstairs, his heart palpitated as he heard a strong voice that made his spine chill.

"Lee Jin, oh, Lee Jin. You're finally back. I've been waiting for you. I'm glad that you didn't forget your benefactor!"

"...How could I do that?"

Lee Jin clenched his fist tightly. As soon as he stepped foot on the second floor, he immediately saw a man sitting on a black cotton chair with his back turned.

The man slowly spun the chair around and directly came face to face with Lee Jin.

The man had short black hair and brown skin. He looked frugal and intimidating. There were uncountable number of jewelry and ornaments on his body for display.

But the most eye catching aspect of his appearance was not any of those mentioned, but rather the thick large scar that dwelled on his forehead.

Jacquin Maseuchossi, leader of Greedy Wolf Club.

"Oh so? How many people did you lure in today? I don't have to tell you the consequences if you don't fulfill your quota, right? It's already kind of me to even give you a chance like this, Lee Jin."

"...Thank you for your benevolence, sir."

Lee Jin kept his head down, hiding the hateful glint on his eyes. At this moment, Ragna and Elias appearances flashed on his mind before he raised his head.

"Regarding that... I have something to report."

Hey guys, I'm sorry for missing an update yesterday. Believe me, I'm as disappointed as you are. Yesterday was a mess.

My life is currently in shambles. Too tiring. I was writing before my body stopped functioning at night, causing me to miss this month's perfect writing attendance again.
