The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Chapter 43: I’m the Uncle (1)

The voice came from behind them.

Chun Sungjae was surprised by the scene. Chun Yooha, who was still far away, also looked on with round eyes. Lee Gun’s approach had gone undetected by both of them.

‘How and when did he get there?’

Chun Sungjae’s seniors cussed out.

“Fuck!”

“Which crazy bastard…”

They tried to turn their heads, but they soon froze. They couldn’t move their heads. Even after they put strength into their necks, the man’s grip prevented them from turning their heads.

“How is this possible…”

They felt as if a powerful pressing machine were holding their heads in place. Suddenly, their opponent turned their heads around. Both men unexpectedly saw a young face.

It was Lee Gun. This surprised them. ‘Who is this bastard?’

They had never seen this bastard before. Due to his incredible strength, they assumed he was using Divine power.

‘No way! It’s just pure grip strength?’

However, something shocked them even more.

“Uncle…”

The word Chun Sungjae shouted! 

What? Uncle? ‘With that face…?’

Their surprise at the man’s age lasted for only a moment, then they trembled.

Lee Gun laughed as if he were about to crush their heads into a pulp. “You shouldn’t eat someone else’s food without permission. Did your mother and father not give you that lesson?”

“…!”

‘Someone else’s?’ The two men looked down at the two oreo shakes that they had stolen. ‘Is he referring to the shakes?’

Sure enough…

“Why are you eating what’s mine, bastards!”

Bbah-gahk!

The men saw sparks as they felt their consciousness slip.

Chun Yooha, who had been moving closer to the group, paused. These two men were high-rank disciples in the Gemini temple. The Gemini Saint possessed all kinds of specialized magic spells that gave trouble to even battle-type Saints.

‘They should have the Reflection spell active, so how….’

Gemini Saint’s Reflection spell! In simple terms, this spell reflected an attack on its source, and the energy sent back was amplified threefold.

If one punched a person who had this skill, the spell normally crushed the attacker’s hand.

‘What happened?’

It wasn’t just that.

‘They are…’

Chun Yooha recognized those two disciples.

‘Yoon Shiwoo!’

Recently, a descendant of a Zodiac Saint had just joined the Gemini temple. This person wasn’t the descendant of the Gemini Saint. He had joined the temple to learn magical skills. The man was participating in something akin to a student exchange program, and this person in question was S rank.

One of the men in Lee Gun’s grip was the brother of that disciple, who was an S-rank user.

‘He ascended to the A rank not too long ago…’

The other man in Lee Gun’s grip was Yoon Shiwoo. He was the grandson of a company founder. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that his grandfather’s company kept the Korean economy afloat. Therefore, the media gave him a great deal of coverage, which was on par with what the president of Korea received.

However, all of that hadn’t mattered even one bit.

Unfortunately for Yoon Shinwoo, his debut was completely buried in the news. He was the unlucky soul who had gotten overshadowed by the news of Lee Gun busting out of the Devil’s Tower. As a result, he held a grudge against Lee Gun. It might have been the reason he had picked a fight with Sungjae, a Lee Gun fan.

However, that wasn’t important right now.

‘I’m pretty sure the Gemini Saint placed powerful spells over them.’ Chun Yooha was puzzled as she was about to step up next to her younger brother.

“Hey. Isn’t she…”

The crowd suddenly became abuzz.

“Isn’t she the Leo Saint’s disciple?”

The trust fund babies, who were being beaten by Lee Gun, looked up in surprise.

“Hey, where are you looking? You want to die?”

Bbah-gahk! Bbah-gahk! Bbah-gahk!

A tray containing magical energy ruthlessly flew through the air.

“Get up.”

The two trust fund babies didn’t even think about standing up.

Lee Gun scrunched up his face as if something had occurred to him. “Oh really! Are you ignoring me now?”

“!”

If he wanted them to stand up, he should have beaten them less!

Lee Gun didn’t care about the men’s plight. He just grabbed their heads and dragged them up to their feet. “I didn’t even put much strength behind my fists. There is no way you guys can get knocked out by that.”

“…?”

‘If he has held back, what would a real beating feel like?’ The trust fund babies cursed inwardly. It really was Chun Yooha in front of them. ‘Shit! Of all the people in the world, this happened in front of Chun Yooha…’

Sure enough, her presence was causing a stir.

“Isn’t she part of the <Ten Stars>?”

That was right.

Besides the twelve Zodiac Saints, ten other awakened beings could influence the world. They were the strongest of the SS rank Users and the next in line to replace a Zodiac Saint if one died. They were the left and right hands of the gods. They were called the Asura. They were the <Ten Stars>.

According to a rumor, a single member of the Ten Stars could face off against a hundred generals.

“Isn’t Chun Yooha only S rank?”

“If you have no idea what you’re talking about, you should keep your mouth shut. In terms of skill, she’s S rank. She’s one of the ten stars.”

The Leo Saint was famous for being a brute, yet this woman was able to carve out a place in his temple with her skills. She was on equal ranks with the Leo Saint’s generals.

The only reason she wasn’t officially a general of the Leo Saint was the fact that her faith to her god was low. Yet, she was considered a part of Ten Stars.

Her beautiful appearance was the frosting on the cake. All men knew about Chun Yooha, and most of them were her fans.

However, these two men had shown such an ungainly sight of themselves in front of her!

Lee Gun didn’t care how they felt. He furrowed his brows as he started dragging them out of the store with their heads. He was receiving attention from someone in particular.

“Jeez! The store owner doesn’t like your antics. Follow me.”

“?!”

The two men looked aggrieved as they struggled, but in the end, they were dragged out by Lee Gun. Lee Gun possessed incredible strength.

Boom!

“Ahhhhk!”

Lee Gun threw them out the door, and they rolled across the ground. Laughing, he then looked at Yoon Shiwoo. “You seem to be the leader, so let’s start this with you.”

“Kuhk!”

Lee Gun placed his foot on Yoon Shiwoo’s face. Yoon Shiwoo felt as if his nose was about to break. When he started to resist, Lee Gun brought his foot down to make him pliant.

“Huhk!”

Unfortunately for Yoon Shiwoo, Lee Gun brought his foot down on a sensitive and important location. This made everyone’s face turn pale.

Lee Gun menacingly looked at the other trust fund baby. “You dared to eat what was mine. As if that wasn’t enough, you then harassed my nephew”

“…!”

“The thing I hate the most is when several people gang up on one person. I hate that!”

“We didn’t…”

“Ten-hut.”

“…”

Lee Gun raised his foot as if he was about to kick the other man.

“Ten-hut.”

“…!” The trust fund baby used all the energy in his body to stand up straight.

“At ease! Ten-hut! Assume position!”

The man started moving according to Lee Gun’s commands. For some reason, he knew he was dead if he didn’t follow the orders.

“You stay like that. I have to deal with him now.” Lee Gun finally removed his foot. 

Yoon Shiwoo ground his teeth as he was barely able to stand up. ‘Who is this bastard…!’

He was already in a foul mood because the articles about Lee Gun had buried all the articles about him. Even reporters he was friendly with were giving him a cold shoulder. They were too busy looking for Lee Gun.

– You’re only rank A. You aren’t that important!

– It’s Lee Gun! Lee Gun! Do you understand what I’m saying?

Yoon Shiwoo decided to mouth off. “I have no idea if you’re that bastard’s uncle or not, but you’re dead. When you mess with me, you mess with the Gemini Saint.”

“What?”

“I was already in a bad mood because of the bastard Lee Gun…”

The baffled Lee Gun sighed. “I am that Lee Gun, you bastard. What did you just say!”

“?”

Bbah-gahk!

A single kick made Yoon Shiwoo profusely bleed from his nose.

The other man’s mouth fell open in shock. ‘What the hell! The Gemini Saint’s protection magic didn’t work!’

Suddenly, a blue magical energy wave emanated from the back of Yoon Shiwoo, who had fallen to the ground. The blue magical energy turned into a large ox. It was a special spell the Gemini Saint had placed on him.

Lee Gun furrowed his brows when he saw the nefarious magical energy. ‘Tsk.’

He already knew the Gemini Saint had placed several spells on Yoon Shiwoo. Yet, he was able to destroy the protection magic through brute force.

These spells were cast by either the Taurus or the Pisces. The Taurus was famous for defensive skills and the Pisces were famous for the barriers.

‘This is the Gemini Saint’s offensive magic.’

Since the spell had been placed on someone else, the spell couldn’t showcase a hundred percent of its power. However, the spell was unpredictable, and it troubled Lee Gun several times in the past. However, this time, something else happened.

[You can use your gathered data.]

[Golden Lion’s Data]

– Threaten (Leo Saint’s Unique Attribute)

[Will you use it?]

Lee Gun’s eyes turned round. This was quite out of the ordinary. Data could be used on buildings, skills, and holy items. It could be used in various ways.

Flash!

[You have used the Leo Saint’s Threaten(S) skill]

[It will intimidate the will of a skill. It works against particular rank skills.]

Boom!

The enormous force made Yoon Shiwoo fall to his knees as if he were being pressed down by enormous gravity.

“Huh-uhk!”

The trust fund baby reared back in fright. As for the siblings inside the store, they looked at this scene with their mouths open.

‘That’s the Leo Saint’s…!’

[You have forcefully neutralized a spell.]

[The acquired skill data is being stored temporarily. The data becomes damaged the more you use the skill.]

[Number of Uses 9/10]

[If you want to use the skill without restriction, you have to use the data to make a holy item to stop its deterioration.]

Basically, this skill should be used in an emergency, and if he liked the skill, he would have to make it into a holy item.

Lee Gun let out a satisfied laugh. ‘One of the skills I covet the most is owned by the Aquarius.’

When Lee Gun had returned home to check the data that he had gathered, he had lamented the fact that he didn’t have the data for that particular skill.

‘I’ll go to the press conference. I can extract more data from her.’ As Lee Gun had that thought, he kicked the bloodied Yoon Shiwoo after taking out his wallet.

When he glanced at the trust fund baby, the trust fund baby screamed, “I’m…I’m sorry! Please!”

“It’s fine. Just buy the same thing that you guys ate. Buy it with your money.”

“Yes, yes!”

“Don’t forget this! I want the oreo shakes, a three-tier earl grey tea cake, ham & cheese toast, chocolate shaved ice, rice cake tart. I want these things.”

For some reason, Lee Gun had listed food items that hadn’t been present on the tray before. However, it didn’t matter as the man ran to get that exact order.

How long had it passed?

Lee Gun dusted off his hands as he walked toward the two siblings. The brother and sister still had their mouths open from shock.

The one to break the silence was the older sister. “Sungjae, is he someone we are meeting along with Uncle? Who is he affiliated with?”

Her brother’s eyes turned round. He had no idea what his noona was talking about. “What? No! That person is…”

Lee Gun spoke as he approached them. “Hey, Sungjae! You should just beat them all up. You shouldn’t hold back just because you are 5’7”!”

“That isn’t why…”

Lee Gun had beaten up one of the reasons Chun Sungjae had to join the Gemini temple. While he felt exalted at the greatness of his uncle, Chun Sungjae started sweating as he saw the bloodied Yoon Shiwoo. Of all the people to mess with, his uncle had messed with a disciple directly under the Gemini Saint.

‘The Gemini Saint will be angry enough to search out Uncle.’

Suddenly, Chun Yooha became surprised. She remembered something. “Uh? Weren’t you the guy who had almost gotten swindled by that phone salesman?”

Lee Gun also became surprised when he met Chun Yooha’s eyes. “What the hell? Aren’t you my game character?”

With a baffled expression, he looked toward Chun Sungjae. 

Chun Sungjae was puzzled. He didn’t know that his dad hadn’t shown any pictures of his family to Lee Gun. “She’s my noona.”

“!” Finally, Lee Gun laughed. ‘Ah! Is this the reason Hugo made such a big fuss when I was playing that game?’

***

Chun Yooha! It was the name of the game character Lee Gun had put in a lot of work into. He had picked her because her abilities were excellent.

‘She’s more overwhelming in person.’

Lee Gun had assumed Hugo’s daughter would look like her brother. However, she had long black hair and pale skin. There was no expression on her elegant face. She looked like an ice princess. Amongst awakened beings, she was considered the most beautiful woman of this generation. Moreover, her skills were on par with general-rank Users.

However, that wasn’t important right now.

‘That Oh Taeksoo bastard… She was his daughter?’

For some reason, Hugo had been oddly nervous when Lee Gun had complimented this woman. On top of that, he had hidden all pictures of her.

‘That bastard….’ Lee Gun laughed at Hugo’s temerity.

Hugo was a pushover, but he was handsome. So, Lee Gun knew his children would look good, but… ‘Both of them look more like their mother than their father.’

If they had looked like his friend, Lee Gun would’ve realized it sooner. In fact, the siblings didn’t look much alike. The brother looked more like mixed blood.

Suddenly, Chun Yooha asked Lee Gun in an apologetic tone, “At the time, I had some urgent business, so I couldn’t stay until the end. Did everything turn out ok?”

She was asking about the incident with the phone salesman. Lee Gun laughed. “It turned out great thanks to you.”

He was able to obtain a token and a new phone. Moreover, he still had the phone salesman’s number. He received a lot of benefits from the phone salesman to this day. Lee Gun let out an evil laugh. 

Chun Yooha didn’t know about that arrangement, so she nodded. She was glad it had all worked out.

Right now, she basically looked like a doll. Her expressionless face made her look exactly like the game character Lee Gun was developing in the game.

Chun Yooha was about to thank Lee Gun for helping her younger brother, but her face suddenly turned serious. She looked conflicted. She wanted to ask how he had destroyed the Reflection magic. However, in the end, she decided it wasn’t important right now. She looked at her younger brother instead, “Where’s Uncle, Sungjae? You said he’s nearby, but he’s a bit late.”

An odd light flashed in her eyes. It seemed she really wanted to meet Lee Gun. “I don’t see any old man nearby. I wonder if he’s lost…”

Chun Sungjae sighed at her words. 

“I’m your uncle!” Lee Gun said with a laugh.
