Chapter 548: Chapter 548

Black Tower, 75th Floor.

[Dad, Cuengi is going to buy snacks!]

Kihiht. Kking! Kking!

[Hehe. Butler, I’ll go buy snacks too! Hyung, take me with you!]

When they arrived at the shopping district, Cuengi and Blackie family dashed toward the street stalls.

“Let’s take a look around first.”

Sejun strolled through the shops with Theo and Flamie.

Nar took the 10 Tower Coins from the Red Orc’s hand and replied in a sly tone.

“What?! Yesterday, it was only 1 Tower Coin per candy!”

“Nothing I can do about it. If the boss says to raise the price, I have to. By the way, starting tomorrow, the price will go up to 20 Tower Coins each, so if you’ve got the money, stock up today. Kekeke.”

At Nar’s words, the Red Orc spent all his money to buy 3 Herong Candies.

And just like that, every few minutes, Nar sold more candy.

“Detective Sherlock Sejun, that’s the guy, meow!”

Theo pointed at Nar in the distance.

“Alright, let’s get him!”

“Puhuhut. Understood, meow!”

At Sejun’s words, Theo immediately struck the back of Nar’s head, knocking him unconscious.

Normally, investigators would tail a suspect to locate their base of operations. But for Sejun’s detective squad, that wasn’t necessary.

“Detective Kapang, go!”

[Hehe. Great Detective Kapang will sniff everything out!]

Blackie headbutted Nar and promptly fell asleep.

“Eek! I’ll tell you everything! Just please, spare my soul!”

Nar, who had regained his senses, was ready to spill everything.

“It’s in Ger Village on the 72nd floor of the Tower. It’s the biggest mansion in the village, you’ll recognize it right away!”

“Name of the Herong Gang’s boss?”

“That I don’t really…”

When Nar couldn’t answer, Blackie immediately growled.

To Sejun, it was nothing but adorable, but…

“Eek! It’s true! This isn’t information someone as low-ranking as me would know! But I do know the names of the people I’ve dealt with! Oh! Now that I think about it, I did hear the name of a mid-level boss once! I’m sure it was Kozette!”

Nar panicked at Blackie’s growl and desperately spilled everything he knew.

After getting information from Nar like that, Sejun.

Handed Nar over to Jeras and moved to the 72nd floor.

Black Tower, 72nd Floor.

[This is all because of you, Uren-nim?!]

Piyot was furious at Uren.

A few days ago, the two of them had been on their way to find the last divine relic of Misfortune, the God of Misfortune, when they encountered highway robbers for the first time in a while.

For Piyot and Uren, dealing with them wasn’t a big deal, they easily subdued the thieves and prepared to stamp.

[What is this stuff?!]

“I don’t know! Uhehe. But it feels good!”

After inhaling the black powder the bandits had scattered, they began experiencing side effects.

Their bodies weakened, their mood lightened, and uncontrollable laughter began to bubble out of them.

“Alright, they’re completely drugged. Grab whatever’s valuable!”

The bandits started taking money from the dazed pair.

If they had only been robbed of money, it wouldn’t have been much of a problem, but…

“Uhehe. Look at this! I can even make gold .”

Uren, in his drugged state, showed the bandits his ability to create gold, and things quickly spiraled out of control.

When the two regained their senses, they were restrained with equipment that sealed magic power and locked in prison, and

[Why would you make gold for them?!]

Even as Piyot scolded him, Uren had no excuse to offer.

A towering Yellow Minotaur entered the prison carrying a basket filled with stones.

“Make gold, Legendary Merchant Uren.”

He shoved the basket toward Uren, demanding he turn the stones into gold.

It wasn’t difficult to identify Uren’s identity since he was the only pink pig capable of creating gold in the Black Tower.

“Alright, I’ll do it. But let Piyot go.”

Hoping to at least save Piyot, Uren tried to negotiate.

“Kukukuk. Legendary Merchant Uren, do you think you’re in a position to negotiate with me? You have no such right. You’ll do what I say. Here, my word – the word of Bulka, boss of the Herong Gang – is law.”

Bulka refused to entertain Uren’s terms.

“Instead, if you don’t make the gold, I’ll pluck this bird’s feathers one by one and make it my dinner. Hahaha. Now. Quickly make gold. Legendary Merchant Uren.”

When Uren was about to give in to Bulka’s words

[You’re going to eat me for dinner?! Go ahead and try!]

[I am Piyot, right front paw of the deadly dragon clawed hybrid golden cat Theo Park-nim, subordinate of the great black dragon! I don’t beg for my life! And soon, Theo-nim will come to rescue me!]

Furious, Piyot chirped fiercely.

“Kukukuk. Such a tiny thing with big guts. But no matter how great Theo Park might be, it’s impossible for him to find this underground prison. I’ve changed my mind. First, I’ll pluck all your feathers-”

As Bulka smirked and reached out toward Piyot, a sudden voice rang out.

“Puhuhut. Over here, meow! I can feel it from this direction, meow!”

With Theo’s voice coming from beyond the wall, Cuengi smashed through it.

“Eh?! It’s Piyot and Uren!”

Sejun and his group appeared through the hole in the wall.

“Go-Golden Cat Theo Park?!”

And even the tyrant Cuengi Park?!

‘How did they find this place?!’

Bulka froze in panic upon seeing Theo and Cuengi.

Theo~nim, I was scared! This guy bullied me!

Piyot burst into tears upon seeing Theo, who had come to rescue him.

“Meow?! You made my right front paw cry, meow?!”

Theo immediately avenged Piyot by hitting Bulka on the back of the head.

“By the way, do you know who the boss of the Herong Gang is meow?”

He asked Piyot and Uren about the Herong Gang’s boss.

The two simultaneously pointed at the unconscious Bulka.

[Hehe. Detective Kapang, on it!]

Blackie headbutted Bulka, and just like that, all of Herong Gang’s secrets were revealed.

The Herong Gang, an organization distributing suspicious drugs in the tower

– With the help of the Sejun Detective Squad, Herong Gang’s leader Bulka and all 20,000 members were arrested, achieving a 100% success rate in the roundup!

– Total bounty: 15.3 billion Tower Coins paid in full.

And thus, the major case that had been troubling Jeras was completely resolved.

“Flamie, how was it? Did you enjoy playing detective?”

At Sejun’s question, Flamie grinned widely, clearly having had a great time.

Becoming a detective and tracking down criminals, it was thrilling and exciting!

Flamie learned what it meant to almost die from excitement this time.

“Alright, let’s ride this momentum and do a treasure hunt next.”

[Hehe! We’re going treasure hunting this time?]

Sejun was now heading to the 62nd floor of the Tower to help Uren find the last divine relic of Misfortune, the God of Misfortune.

[You have arrived at the 62nd floor of the Black Tower.]

When Sejun arrived on the 62nd floor:

“Huh?! Father Rabbit?”

Sejun spotted Father Rabbit, who was feeding the baby rabbits.

Ahem! See that?! Me being familiar with Sejun-nim?

Father Rabbit puffed up his chest proudly as he glanced at the baby rabbits.
