The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero-Chapter 362 - Would you look at this guy? (2)

Chapter 362 - Would you look at this guy? (2)

Lee Gun was the Zodiac of the earth. He had to tackle several problems. His first problem was that Hugo had been kidnapped. Of course, he had solved that issue.

The process of saving Hugo had created more problems, but Lee Gun didn’t care about that.

‘He has scars left on his face, but it’s fine since he became manly(?) like me.’

Hugo’s junior could be fixed by taking it from someone else.

‘Anything beyond that isn’t my problem…’

On the other hand, Hugo tilted his head in puzzlement as he listened to Kevin’s story. “Hey, Gun. You said he has to work with Sungjae. Who’s Sungjae— Kuh-huhk!”

“Damn it! I forgot about his memory. Whatever. It'll be fine. I just have to beat him up.”

“What???”

Anyway, Lee Gun had only one problem remaining. He had to find a way to return home. Moreover, he had heard that the goddesses of fate were running a scam on the earth.

‘Earth has Zodiac Saints, so it’ll be fine for now…’

At that moment…

[This is bad, Gun!]

“!”

Lee Gun heard Yeonwoo’s voice through the official Construct-exclusive telepathy.

He furrowed his brows. “Yeonwoo? What’s wrong?”

[Sungjae is missing!]

‘Sungjae was missing?’

In a rarity, Lee Gun furrowed his brow. “I’ll try to contact him.”

It seemed the Constructs had heard the same telepathy. They sounded taken aback as they yelled out loud.

“You cannot contact the Zodiac Saint here, Master. You need a Communication Stone.”

Communication Stone was a tool that allowed a Zodiac to contact their Zodiac Saints. Amongst gods, the distance didn’t matter. They could contact each other using telepathy.

However, this wasn’t the case with humans within one’s colony. The telepathy didn’t work that way. This was why the Constructs were taken aback.

“Shit! Did something bad happen to our baby Zodiac Saint? Should we borrow one?”

“Who will lend them to us? Communication Stones are very expensive, so only rich Zodiacs can dream about using them…!”

[Clump of Creation Clay had stolen a Communication Stone.]

[Would you like to use it?]

“!”

Lee Gun’s eyes turned round as he looked at the slime on his shoulder. Lime was waving the stone in front of his face.

Lee Gun had no idea where it had stolen the stone form, but the slime seemed to have predicted its owner would need the stone. However, there was a problem.

[It is a new stone that has never been used before.]

[You need to connect it to the base station.]

[would you like to use their service?]

[The monthly communication fee will be 2 million Talents. One million Talents are needed to set up the first connection.]

It was extremely expensive.

Each of Lee Gun’s Constructs stepped forward, saying they’ll take on the debt.

Lee Gun discreetly glanced at someone next to him. “Club.”

“Yes? You called for me?”

“Go sell him.”

“?!!”

Suddenly put in the spotlight, Anubis reared back in shock. “W-Wait a moment! Sell me?!”

Lee Gun was sure a pawnshop would lend him money by putting an item up as collateral.

“You might not know this, but that place gives out loans according to the item that you give them…!”

“I know. I own him.”

“?!”

“If I put him up for auction, I won’t be able to bring him back. That’s why I’m choosing the pawnshop.”

Hugo, who had been a frequent customer of pawn shops, looked appalled. “If you can’t pay back the pawnshop, it’s the same as selling the item…?”

“Who cares? I’ll be able to pay it all off if I capture Sagittarius. If I can’t pay it off, I’m fine with that.”

“!?”

Lee Gun gestured with his hand as if he held no love for Anubis.

In the end, Anubis screamed as Hercules dragged him away. It was unprecedented for a Zodiac to be sold to a pawnshop!

Anubis tried to run away, but his opponent was a fighting-type god. He couldn’t run away.

Osiris didn’t want to be sold, so he kept silent.

Some time later, Lee Gun received notifications.

[You have received a loan of 200 million Talents from the pawnshop.]

[You have deposited the communication fee.]

[You can contact a Construct located in a different dimension. Please select your target.]

Satisfied by the voice he had heard from the stone, Lee Gun immediately connected to Sungjae.

[You are connected to the Dimension “Earth.”]

[Connection complete.]

Soon, a hologram appeared above the gem, depicting a familiar scenery. It was Hugo’s living room, which was designated as the holy ground of the Serpent Bearer temple. It was also considered Lee Gun’s room.

“Sungjae? Sungjae?”

While Lee Gun was absent, the number of his figurines in the room had increased several folds. However, that wasn’t important right now.

“Sungjae!”

When there was no answer, Lee Gun wondered if the connection was garbage.

“!!”

However, the hologram suddenly captured the image of an enormous eye, almost making Lee Gun and Hugo scream.

The black bean-like eye belonged to a snake. It was Lee Gun’s Construct Junwoo.

Since the baby snake was too young to fight in the Divine world, Lee Gun had left him next to Sungjae.

Lee Gun asked, “Hey, Junwoo. Where is Sungjae?”

The snake was overjoyed to see Lee Gun. As if to answer his question, he enthusiastically danced. It looked as if he were copying Sungjae.

Lee Gun tilted his head in puzzlement. What did he mean?

‘Is he imitating me? Wings?’

That wasn’t all. The snake was having fun as he gave several signs.

Seeing this, Lee Gun immediately called his Construct. “Decipher what he’s saying.”

“W-What?”

“That’s odd. If Sungjae’s life was in danger, I would have received a signal.”

If a Zodiac Saint died, Lee Gun would know as the Zodiac. The system was set up that way.

Hugo furrowed his brows as he said, “I hope nothing happened to Sungjae.”

Lee Gun looked impressed by those words. He looked at Hugo. “Did you remember something about your family?”

“No. However, you said he’s my son. That means he’s a smaller version of his cute dad, right?”

Lee Gun looked like he had bitten into a lemon. “Mmm. Yes. He loves his dad… I guess?”

“Right! He’s probably a papa’s boy!”

Would it be better if Hugo never regained his memories?

“It’s fine. Let us find Sagittarius first. We can’t go home without him.”

“Where is Sagittarius?”

“It’s a place you know very well.”

Hugo wondered where the place was, but he became surprised by the words Lee Gun whispered in his ears.

“What?! That bastard went there?!”

* * *

Hugo was dismayed as he looked at the building in front of him. “He really is here?”

Lee Gun had the same expression as he looked at the building.

“This is a cat cafe!”

Persephone let out a bright smile when she heard their shouted words. She had led them here.

“Yes. It’s very famous! The cafe has franchise stores all over the place, but this one is the best since you can touch Leo!”

Persephone had come here after liquidating her husband’s assets. Hugo massaged his forehead when he saw her bright smile.

Yes, they had come here since Sagittarius was hiding here. This place was none other than a store owned by Leo.

Animal cafe! Here, the Constructs under the Leo temple moved freely through the cafe and acted cute. It was a place where they were doted on by customers…

“This place is very popular. Where else would one have an opportunity to pet Leo? Of course, you have to pay a massive amount of money to meet Leo, and you need to pay extra if you want to touch him.”

“Huh huh huh. A fighting-type Zodiac runs an animal cafe…”

Although Lee Gun had enjoyed farming ingredients from Leo, Leo was the great fighting-type Zodiac of Mahabharata

Mahabharata was another of the eight great forces. It was a place full of fighting-type gods. The place was described as hell, where lightning and flames raged.

‘It’s tough to get in there…’ƒ𝑟𝐞𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋𝑛ｏ𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝘰𝓂

This meant Leo was a difficult god to find, yet he was running a cute cafe nearby like this.

“Leo is unexpectedly good at running a business…”

It was an animal cafe, yet it had a high number of fierce beasts. However, that didn’t matter.

“Why did he go to the cat?”

“Gun…”

Of course, it was understandable.

‘They are allies as members of the twelve Zodiacs, and Leo is the only one who doesn’t care what others do….’

Sagittarius had made the right choice. This was a place that Lee Gun would have never thought about coming to. Moreover, all the employees here looked like animals, so hiding one’s face was easy.

Even though Sagittarius was close to Virgo, he would never go to her since she was on Lee Gun’s side. The other factions were filled with gods who wanted the bounty.

“Anyway, it’ll be troublesome if Mahabharata is keeping Sagittarius under wraps. That’s why he purposefully hid here.”

“Who cares?” Lee Gun immediately opened the door to the cafe.

Kwahng!

Everyone’s attention was focused on him, and beast gods wearing waiter uniforms approached him.

“Welcome. Are you looking for a specific subject?”

“I’m here to meet Leo.”

“Ah! You’re a special guest! Hey, Master’s butler! Why don’t you serve these important guests?”

A young waiter quickly approached them.

“Yes, yes. I’ll guide them to Master— Kuhk!”𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m

The god wearing a snake mask suddenly came to a stop.

‘This is nuts! Why are they here?’

This god was none other than Sagittarius, who had come running to Leo. As the price for hiding here, Sagittarius had agreed to work as Leo’s butler. And right now, the god of the sun was sweating.

‘Shit! I have to run away.’

Sagittarius immediately tried to run away through the backdoor, but…

“Hey, where are you running away?”

“?!!”

As if he had been waiting for this moment, Hugo blocked Sagittarius’s path. With his debt having been paid off, Hugo had regained his abilities. This was why he was very fast.

“Get ready to be sold. You just have to help us for a short time.”

“There is no way I’ll believe that!”

Sagittarius quickly used his skill on Lee Gun and Hugo and tried to run away.

[Hair loss]

Hair fell off from the heads of Lee Gun and Hugo.

This made sparks fly from Lee Gun’s eyes. “Bastard.”

Since they were related, he had planned on going easy on the Sagittarius. But that was now out the window.

Lee Gun let out a menacing smile as he cracked his knuckles. “Customer. Do you have some kind of business with our employee?”

“!”

A beast god grabbed Hugo’s shoulder.

“Idiot! Over here! Hurry up and run away!”

All the employees helped Sagittarius run away.

“Master said to let that idiot run away!”

“Hurry!”

Lee Gun smirked as he watched this from the entrance. “What the hell? They are all on the same side?”

Since this was someone else’s store, he had planned on not causing too much trouble.

“Customer. I’m sorry, but you are being a nuisance. Please leave— Kuhk!!!”

Lee Gun kicked the waiter when the beast god brought up his arms in a rough manner.

The customers screamed when they saw this.

The eyes of the beasts, who had been acting cute toward the customers, flashed. They immediately charged Lee Gun.

“Gyahhhng!”

“Gyaoh!”

This was the same for the employees.

“Get him! He’s merely a baby snake who became a Zodiac not too long ago!”

“There is no way savage beasts like us will lose to a baby snake!”

“While you may be one of the twelve Zodiacs, do not make the mistake of thinking you’re our ally!”

“His Achievements will be a great help to Master Leo!”

Lee Gun’s eyes flashed as if he preferred this. “Since all the gods of Olympus were humanoid, it did weigh on my conscience to split them apart, so I let them be.”

Lee Gun smirked as he summoned his item. It was a Divine authority that had been released when he had put the gods of Olympus in prison to pay off his debt!

[You are given the authority to use your Divine item.]

“Come out.”

When Lee Gun extended his hand, divine power exploded forth.

Kwahng!!

[Heaven’s Punishment (EX)]

The ax seemed to have been classified as Lee Gun’s Divine item. After it was finally revealed, Heaven’s Punishment let out a violent roar.

Koo-goo-goong!

The gods screamed as a wind swept around the store. The onlookers reacted in fright.

“What rank Divine item is that…!”

“Wait a m—”

The gods were unable to speak.

Lee Gun’s eyes flashed, and he charged toward them like a madman.

The employees and the small animals reacted in fright. They started running away.

“Hey! Close the store!”

“Run…!”

Sagittarius was taken aback when everyone left him behind to run away.

“Hey! How can you guys just leave? You guys should protect me! Did you forget about your promise?!”

“Can’t you see that bastard has lost his mind?!”

“If you’re so great, you get rid of him!”

“We are weak pets!”

In the end, Sagittarius cursed as he turned around.

Bbah-gahk!!!

“Kuhk!!”

However, Hugo caught Sagittarius before the latter could run away. Sagittarius tried to break free, but he felt a chill run up his spine when he heard the footsteps coming toward him.

“!!”

When he looked back, he saw the flashing red eyes of Lee Gun. Lee Gun had already skinned the leather of the beasts.

“Where do you think you are going?”

Once Lee Gun took out his Divine item, it was impossible to run away.
