The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player
Chapter 40: Jang Seok Hyun (2)

Three days had passed, and the day of execution had arrived.

Jang Seok-hyun’s plan had fallen into place.

Thump, thump, thump, thump…

The cafe owner, trapped in the trunk, was pounding on the door.

“Hehe, it was a good idea to bring a car. It’s a rental, so there shouldn’t be any issues.”

Indeed, when it came to kidnapping, a car was all you needed.

It was easy to transport, and there was no need to worry about attracting attention.

“It was too easy. I didn’t even need to use my abilities.”

Jang Seok-hyun had hidden in an alley near the street where the cafe owner would appear and knocked her unconscious as she passed by.

He then simply pushed her into the trunk of the car he had prepared in advance.

He had done well to observe her daily route while stalking her.

Thump, thump, thump, thump…

“Hey, stop banging. We’re almost there.”

Jang Seok-hyun, driving the car, arrived at an abandoned factory with no signs of human presence.

“This place is perfect for what I have in mind.”

At night, nobody would come near, and there were no CCTV cameras in the vicinity.

“Where should I do it? Ah! That spot looks good.”

After parking in a suitable location, Jang Seok-hyun opened the trunk.

Creak!

“Ugh, ugh!”

The cafe owner was bound with duct tape and writhing like a fish, her makeup smudged from crying in the darkness.

“Gag!”

Jang Seok-hyun easily carried the cafe owner on his shoulder.

With his new stats, exerting force became effortless.

Clank! Squeak…

He opened the door of the dimly lit abandoned factory and stepped inside.

Thud, thud…

There was a switch nearby, but it didn’t work.

“Well, that’s fine. Darkness isn’t necessarily a bad thing.”

Although he could have made himself glow, doing so could blind the cafe owner.

There was no fun in engaging with a blind opponent.

“I’ll untie you, so don’t make any noise. Got it?”

The cafe owner nodded, and Jang Seok-hyun removed the duct tape that bound her.

Peel…

“Huff, huff… P-please… please spare me… spare…”

“Damn it, is that all you can say as soon as your mouth is free?”

Jang Seok-hyun’s excitement waned at the predictable repertoire.

“Say something different for once. Something other than begging for mercy, mentioning your children, or offering money. It’s all so boring.”

“I-I’m sorry…”

“…”

Did her apology come from genuine remorse?

Jang Seok-hyun sighed heavily, calming his excitement.

“Sigh… Why did you do something to warrant an apology?”

“I-I looked at you with a displeased expression a few days ago, so that’s why you’re… I-I’m sorry…”

“…”

Did her heartfelt apology have an effect?

Jang Seok-hyun’s gaze softened.

“What are you sorry for?”

“F-For… for giving you a dirty look a few days ago. I-I’m s-sorry…”

“I’m sorry… I”m sorry… I’m sorry…”

She continued to apologize, but Jang Seok-hyun remained silent, just staring at her.

“This won’t do.”

“W-What…?”

“I don’t sense sincerity.”

Jang Seok-hyun forcefully pushed the cafe owner down to the floor.

“Did you think I wouldn’t know? Pretending to apologize to defuse the situation.”

“P-Please… please let me go…”

“Apologizing? You apologize, and then what? You should pay a price if you’re sorry.”

A sinister smile crept across Jang Seok-hyun’s face, reigniting his desire.

And then he started to strip the woman forcibly.

“P-Please, stop!”

Although she resisted to some extent, she couldn’t withstand the player’s strength.

“I made a mistake! I made a mistake!”

She pleaded for forgiveness, but her words fell on deaf ears.

No, they were heard, but Jang Seok-hyun chose to ignore them.

“I’ve come this far; there’s no turning back.”

Having crossed an uncrossable river, he couldn’t retreat.

“Since you admit your mistake, then just accept this…” Jand Seok-hyun said as he unzipped his pants.

“That’s right, just stay still. Hehe!”

The owner shop cried in response, and suddenly…

“Oh, is that so? If it were you, will you just stay still?”

In an instant, Jang Seok-hyun froze, as if turned into a statue.

“What? Damn it!”

Suddenly, he heard a voice from an unexpected third party.

And it was a male voice.

“I thought nobody was here…!”

Cold sweat trickled down Jang Seok-hyun’s back.

Could it be that a detective had followed him?

He quickly adjusted his pants and stood up.

“Who the hell was that?”

“Don’t use profanity in front of a lady.”

Jang Seok-hyun turned his head toward the source of the voice.

“In any case, you’ll have plenty of time to curse later.”

Ryu Min walked out of the darkness, capturing Jang Seok-hyun’s attention with his large scythe.

“What… What’s with that ridiculously huge scythe?”

Next, Jang Seok-hyun noticed the white mask worn by Ryu Min.

His attire seemed like some kind of character cosplay.

Jang Seok-hyun couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Are you crazy? Do you think this is Itaewon? Halloween is still far away.”

“I haven’t quite grasped the atmosphere yet. Does this look like a toy to you?”

Ryu Min swung his scythe in a half-moon shape.

Swoosh! The sound was quite threatening.

“Hold on, wait a minute. It’s not a toy?”

Only then did Jang Seok-hyun’s wariness kick in.

“Are you a player?”

“Are you stupid? Why did it take you so long to figure it out?”

Ryu Min, outside his mask, let out a sigh.

“You should leave. Miss, this is your only chance.”

“What? Who do you think you are to decide…?”

Did he feel safe because the distance seemed greater?

Jang Seok-hyun turned his gaze toward the woman.

Just then…

Thwack!

Ryu Min closed the distance.

He held the scythe in reverse and struck Jang Seok-hyun’s vulnerable area.

Crunch!

“Urggghhh!”

It happened in the blink of an eye.

Jang Seok-hyun, struck in a most unpleasant place, doubled over in pain.

A wave of indescribable agony washed over him.

“You fcker! You fcking bastard!”

“I told you, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to curse later.”

Ryu Min kicked Jang Seok-hyun’s rear end, causing him to tumble away from the woman.

“Leave now. Leave the rest to me.”

“Wh-What? Th-Thank you.”

As the cafe owner ran away, only the two of them remained in the abandoned factory.

Ryu Min laughed inside his mask.

“Well, shall we start the main event?”
