Regressor Takes Everything-Chapter 75
Lucia who’s injured all over and the pursuers on the verge of catching up to her as if there was a fight.
Though it looked like an urgent situation, Kang Yoo-sik examined the scene without running up there.
‘The two guys on both sides aren’t there huh.’
Kang Yoo-sik looked at another place and listened, and heard a faint sound of fighting from a far place.
Kang Yoo-sik who confirmed it, sent one of his aids to Lucia and ordered Perceval.
‘Maintain a moderate distance and just check the location. Get it?’
– Sure, Lord.
One of the aides flew towards Lucia and Kang Yoo-sik flew himself right away to the place where the sound was coming from.
-At the unexpected situation, Andvari asked while being quite flustered.
– What. You’re just going to let that guy go?
“I’m not going to kill.”
– What?
“I’m just threatening them. I won’t be killing them for real so, you don’t have to interfere.”
He doesn’t know if the enemy perhaps secured Andvaranaut, the token of the successor, but at the moment the ring is on his hand.
It’s a situation where they won’t have the need to kill her as they don’t know what will be Fiore’s move if Lucia dies.
In other words, the possibility of chasing Lucia now with the intention of acquiring new recruits or to release pressure than just killing her was high.
‘By the look of it, it seems like she’s luring them to a specific place…… Perhaps she already has thoughts on putting on a show like the guy saves her to eventually keep the guy beside her.
They’ll be clasping the reins completely just in case to prevent Lucia from getting the Andvaranaut.
“Hrgkkk!”
“These bastards……!”
The big guy and skinny guy who were assisting Lucia, each responded by swinging the Halberd and Long Sword, and the guys around got their injuries increased without having to overdo it.
It’s an urgent situation where it won’t be strange even if you die. Kang Yoo-sik who watched the scene, waited while staying hidden this time too.
– Do you really have any idea of helping or not?
Andvari asked in a dumbfounded tone to which Kang Yoo-sik replied calmly.
‘Not yet.’
Though it’s a scene where it won’t be surprising even if they collapse right now but he still doesn’t know.
He examined the scene of the two fighting desperately and noticed the big guy’s hand shaking quite a bit.
The moment those eyes turned towards the back and not the enemy.
‘Now!’
Kang Yoo-sik’s body shot down after stepping on the Spear-thunder-pace.
‘Clang!!
The Halberd that the big guy swung stopped right in front of the skinny guy’s throat.
“T-, This…..”
“You……”
The big guys looked perplexed as the attack that should’ve been swung was caught by something. The skinny guy’s face turned pale at the betrayal of his peer who had his back.
Right when all the encircling pursuers including the were out of the mind at the sudden situation.
‘Skkrrrk’
A spear on flame appeared in the air with nothing.
Crash!!!
The big guy who blocked it with both of his arms rolled backward engulfed in flames and the Ghost Flame Spear shot everywhere, causing an explosion.
“It’s an attack!”
“Unroll the defensive magic!”
While being flustered too, the pursuers hurriedly unrolled the defensive magic and blocked the explosion. At that quick response, Kang Yoo-sik shot the Ghost Flame Spear and got hold of the skinny guy.
But the fog melted in the air as it covered the skinny guy’s body. Kang Yoo-sik who saw the assimilations applying along with it kicked the floor right away and got out of there.
“He-, He ran away!”
“Find the bastard!”
The freed guys hurriedly spread out around while Kang Yoo-sik leisurely passed by them and entered a deserted alley and examined the condition of the skinny guy.
“Huhhhhhrgk…. Huhhhhrgkkk……”
I don’t know if he’s relaxed after the incident a while ago as his face turned pale and his eyes were shaking constantly.
Though there weren’t any deep injuries, with cuts all over the body, there wasn’t any place which he was not soaked in blood and it wouldn’t even be surprising if he died right away due to excessive bleeding.
‘We can’t afford to take him with us….. Looks like we can’t help but send him cursorily.’
Kang Yoo-sik who pulled out the emergency potion out of the space expansion pocket, sprayed it just as it is on the skinny guy’s body.
Splutter Splutter!
“Ughhk……….”
The injuries healed at a fast pace and Kang Yoo-sik pulled out another bottle, pouring it into his mouth, and finished the first aid.
After confirming that his injuries were healed to a certain point, he slapped him across the face.
Slap!
“euuughk….”
Seeing the way, the skinny guy’s eyes turn blurry, Kang Yoo-sik asked bluntly.
“I will save Lucia. Can you flee?”
“You…..”
“There’s no room for small talk. If you want to save Lucia then answer me first. Can you flee?”
The skinny guy’s eyes were shaking at Kang Yoo-sik’s question and then he nodded.
“If you let me go once…… It’s enough for me to flee.”
“Good. You probably know it already that you’d be killed if you flee to a place that the big guy knows. Do you know any point you can join without that guy knowing?”
“There’s a place chosen with the boss.”
Looks like Lucia too had expected this kind of situation to some extent. Kang Yoo-sik nodded at looked at the skinny guy.
“I saved your life so don’t die for no reason.”
“………. Yes. Thank You.”

Maybe because it wasn’t completely over that he was a bit salty, other than the fact that he saved his life, but this side didn’t care about it as Kang Yoo-sik just kicked his feet and ran straight away towards Lucia.
‘Perceval. What’s the situation?’
– She’s still on the run. But seeing the perimeter closing in, looks like we’re about to arrive at the destination.
It would get bothersome if they go to the waiting zone of that side. Kang Yoo-sik who realized the situation smacked the Twin Tempest at the rear of the tracker driving behind Lucia.
Scraaaawk!
“Uaarghkkkkkk!”
At the twin tempest that drove to the fullest speed, the original form of the tracker was completely destroyed and in that gap Kang Yoo-sik stepped on the Spear-thunder-pace, catching up to Lucia and grabbed her hand.
“This way!”
“?!”
Kang Yoo-sik who snatched Lucia went into a side alleyway and out of the side and later applied the assimilations to Lucia too.
After hiding their bodies, they didn’t go into the alley but turned back towards the entrance of the alley.
“Chase them!”
The pursuers who didn’t see that, flooded into the alleyway while Kang Yoo-sik looked at Lucia who’s holding his hand.
“………..”
Lucia had her lips sealed in case they might hear them, though there are many things she wants to ask.
At that, Kang Yoo-sik signaled at her to follow him and Lucia contemplated for a moment and then nodded her head.
“Find them at any cost!”
“They’re hiding somewhere around!!”
Among the pursuers who keep going past them many times, the two of them start walking slowly until they eventually reached Fiore’s house.
Kang Yoo-sik who checked if there was any surveillance around, entered the house and lifted the assimilation.
“It’s over now. You won’t get caught if you’re here and even if you do, there won’t be an issue.”
“………”
Maybe Lucia still didn’t understand the situation even after Kang Yoo-sik’s explanation, as she looked around with a nervous expression.
At that anxious look of hers, Kang Yoo-sik did not know what to do and started by taking off his mask he was wearing.
“…….!”
Maybe the face revealed was beyond expectation to Lucia too that she widened her eyes and Kang Yoo-sik who ignored the sight, plopped on the sofa with a tired expression.
‘It would’ve been a bit hard if it wasn’t for Andvaranaut.’
It wouldn’t have been a chance to save the skinny guy at all and Lucia couldn’t have been saved as easily as now too.
– Huhu. It’s indeed not easy to find a good item like me, isn’t it? How is it? Do you feel like leaving it all to me at my whisp-….
– Shut up you weak thing!
– Ehhkkk!
Andvari tries again to quietly seduce again and gets beaten up by Perceval. Right when Kang Yoo-sik chuckled at the bickering he heard.
“Thank you for saving me.”
Lucia who’s calmed down now lowered her head deeply.
While possibly being still flustered, Lucia certainly greets him and at that, Kang Yoo-sik smiled and pointed towards the opposite seat.
“First of all, take your seat.”
“………Sure”
Lucia who raised her head, carefully took a seat on the wooden chair on the opposite and maybe relaxed just by that as her she had a deep fatigue rise on her face.
“The incident a while ago…… was it ordered by master Fiore?”
The most reasonable reason in the current situation. Though there was a way to get there, Kang Yoo-sik stepped up on his own and shook his head.
“Nope. I did it with my own will.”
“…….”
Lucia was deeply in thoughts at Kang Yoo-sik’s answer and continued to question him in a dumbfounded expression.
“May I know the reason why you helped me?”
“Umm……..”
What to say to sound smooth. Kang Yoo-sik who thought for a moment answered with a smile.
“It’s a strategic move.”
“A strategic move?”
“Yes. Though I’m still a cadet, I’m thinking of forming a guild in the future. I was preparing for that while handing out business cards and……. I showed up there since I thought I had a chance of handing one to you today.”
“……..You’re quite a lot more enterprising person than what I heard.”
Lucia gave a look of not believing his words even after hearing the reason. If someone said that a 17year old cadet is going around being like this, even she wouldn’t believe it.
“That’s because I’m a person who thinks that it’s the best to be prepared as early as possible you know. Anyways, you can just think of it as a prepayment for the future, kind of a debt.”
Lucia stared blankly at Kang Yoo-sik’s answer and muttered with a bitter smile.
“Suddenly I’m indebted a large amount huh.”
[Debt relationship condition satisfied.]
[Debtor Lucia Di Seta’s registration confirmed. Debt rating judged as C.]
Kang Yoo-sik gave an odd look at the notification that popped up in front of him.
In reality, though they had no thoughts of killing her, in Lucia’s thoughts wasn’t she saved from a situation where could’ve been killed.
And above that, he even brought her up to a safe place like this and it was nothing but a C grade? When Kang Yoo-sik was giving a dumbfounded expression at the unexpected result.
“Still, I’m sorry, but…. Looks like it would be difficult for me to pay you back.”
Lucia continued in a quite calmer voice.
“Was there anything wrong?”
“That’s……”
Lucia who was contemplating on telling him, then looked like she gave up something and continued.
“Our organization’s executive…. the person who was like an uncle to me, withdrew his support for me. He said he’d keep a neutral eye on the situation.”
“Hmm……”
“So, I tried to personally meet him and persuade him somehow but I was attacked like that. Like a fool……”
Lucia who muttered to herself took a breath and laid back on the chair. As if she let everything down.
Kang Yoo-sik silently looked at the melancholy atmosphere and Lucia continued.
“Vito & Parco who took care of me ever since I was a child, threw themselves forward to block the enemies. By this time, both of them might be dead won’t they.”
The skinny guy, Parco would probably be alive but Kang Yoo-sik did not mention that.
‘So…… Everything is over. The token of the successor disappeared after being stolen, I remain as an eyesore like person to the organization and just nothing more right.”
Lucia who let out a bitter smile put her head back and looked at the ceiling.
“Soon a conference will be held. Now that the token of the successor is missing, as per the organization’s traditions they will elect a new boss through voting by the executives.
“Isn’t there a possibility of you becoming…?”
“No of course. The members this time are the ones who hate the predecessors of the Di Seta family to the core.”
Cosa Nostra who are darkening the entire Italy including Sicilia. They are definitely criminals in the shadow, but aren’t rough as we think.
That’s because the motto of the Di Seta predecessors who were consecutively elected as the boss was to use force to survive in the right place than to wield it.
Thanks to that, Cosa Nostra has survived stably in close proximity to politics and came all the way here by devouring the other members who wielded power indiscriminately and collapsed.
‘But there are always dissatisfied guys though they do well.’
When the power becomes great, there are people who want to wield it or make them read it.
Those who rebelled from Cosa Nostra this time were all that sort of people and Lucia who had the token of the successor stolen, was on the verge of being eaten by them.
‘Hmm…. What can be done.’
Kang Yoo-sik looked at the Andvaranaut that he hid using the assimilation without Lucia’s knowledge.
If he hands over the ring at this moment, the situation can change. Since the incidents that happened to her from the very beginning were the disadvantages of losing the token of the successor.
‘But if it’s that much then it’s useless isn’t it.’
The S-class weapon that appeared later in Italy, Brain God’s Spear ‘Astrape’, the retriever across the space ‘Sleipnir’, etc.
Secured the finest dungeon and items that will appear in Italy and just needs a competent person who will bring it to him.
There’s no need to be tied with Lucia.
“Should I throw it? Or….”
Kang Yoo-sik thought for a moment and looked at Lucia and coincidentally met eyes with her.
Unlikely of a bitter expression were eyes that weren’t shaky. At the feeling of having seen those eyes somewhere before, Kang Yoo-sik widened his eyes and asked without his knowledge.
“So….. Are you going to let the organization move on like this?”
“The organization… I have to move on. Since it’s not something I can hold onto.”
Lucia who answered calmly rested her arm on the armrest and muttered in a cold voice.
“But they will never be able to take it all away.”
Kang Yoo-sik confirmed it in her words.
Before when Lucia said that she cannot repay what she owes with an expression of her letting it all down, it did not mean that she will give up on fighting.
To give up on reclaiming the organization and put her everything to destroy them.
‘Sounds nice.’
Doesn’t sound bad.
No, it sounds excellent.
Kang Yoo-sik felt his heart beating and covered his lips that are rising up and asked Lucia.
“Do you have a plan?”
“I have a few. But just that my power has shrunk than before so there might not be much that I can do……”
“What if I help you?”
Lucia looked surprised at Kang Yoo-sik’s question, thought a while, and answered carefully.
“About 50%… It’d be possible.”
Even if he gets involved, it’s 50%. Kang Yoo-sik thought disappointedly and smiled.
“What if Mr. Fiore helps you?”
“………Sorry?”
“By any chance, if Mr. Fiore helps you, how much is it possible?”
“T-, There’s no way that’s possib-…..”
“Please think about it.”
At Kang Yoo-sik’s words, Lucia thought for a while and replied cautiously.
“Not destroy it…. We can even reclaim it.”
“Even if the successor’s token is not there, she can become the boss of the organization. At the thought of it, Kang Yoo-sik too gave it a thought and smiled.
“Then let’s go with it.”
