Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

Well, there might be quite a few things that make you angry in life…

“I heard you’re just an F-rank? Ha! I don’t know what kind of grand scam you’re pulling to live such a luxurious life, but…”

It seems like today is definitely one of those days.

“…Huh? I’m giving a huge opportunity to a guy like you who’s nothing special and can’t do anything but scam, so know it’s an honor and bow your head when given work! Got it? Huh!”

Just because you’ve experienced things that would make you angry in life doesn’t mean you become immune to getting angry, right?

As such, this troublesome client I met today was enough to provoke my anger.

It’s like the stress that had been piling up like firewood with oil poured on it, and this troublesome client just lit the fire…

Right now I’m too dumbfounded to speak, but if I were to look in a mirror, I think my face would clearly show that I’m holding back my anger.

“Ahem! I’m saying you should consider it an honor that I’m giving you a chance to make a great contribution to the country! And since I’m giving you such an honorable opportunity, you should show some sincerity to me too! From what I see, you seem to have a lot of wealth and quite a few good women…”

Of course, I don’t particularly intend to hold back my anger.

Not only is he grating on my nerves, but also talking about bribes and whatnot… It seems like he might not see tomorrow morning even without me stepping in, but I don’t want to leave this to my subordinates.

I already felt like I was about to die.

“Ah, and you don’t think an incompetent scammer like you would receive a great salary, right? Of course not! Someone like you should just feel it’s a great honor and glory to serve the country and approach it that way…”

By the way, I’m also curious about what this person is relying on to act like this.

Does he know that I myself am F-rank but doesn’t know anything else?

Like how all the S-rank superhumans in Korea made me the owner of Korea’s underworld, or that I have four S-rank subordinates… no, five now since Ma Dal-su called last time saying he wanted to be my subordinate…

Anyway, on top of that, does he not know about Hati Eri and the Vargfang she leads, and about Independent Demon and the lawless zone?

Did he selectively put only what he wanted in his head, or did he just do a sloppy investigation? Or is his intelligence lacking?

Well, looking at the person in front of me, I thought any of these possibilities could be true.

It’s understandable if his intelligence on the superhuman industry is lacking… After all, the Korean government has no power in the superhuman industry.

In the past, the government showed no particular action towards the superhuman industry, but when they found out that the industry was becoming big money, they tried to suppress and manipulate the entire industry by putting forward one S-rank superhuman. However, the government-side S-rank was killed and hung by Sea Dragon King Wi Jin-taek, and Yeom A-yun, enraged by the excessive control, destroyed all the superhuman-related departments set up by the government, while the rest of the S-ranks simply demonstrated their power.

As a result, the Korean government completely lost its influence over the superhuman industry, the underworld was greatly suppressed, and Korea maintains a somewhat prominent and unique position in the superhuman industry.

In fact, this is a relatively good outcome.

It’s better than North Korea, which became a lawless zone with the country completely collapsing, or China, which got split up, or places where superhumans completely took over the country and became dictators, or like Central America where the power of the underworld became excessively strong and although things seem to be running normally on the surface, if you look inside, the underworld forces occupy everything.

It could be seen as unique that the Korean government, which had been completely pushed back and living quietly, and the Korean superhumans, who didn’t even glance at anything beyond after firmly establishing their position, are like this.

But to think there were people like this, and to openly act like this… What are they thinking…

No, why should I use my brain and agonize over such complicated issues?

What I’m doing now is already overwhelming, and I have absolutely no desire to be connected with this side.

Still, it would be a waste to send him away nicely… Right, when a guest comes to a fortune-telling house, shouldn’t I tell their fortune no matter how troublesome they are?

“Well, I don’t know what kind of tricks you’ve been pulling so far, but it seems you have quite a lot of possessions, so spit it all out and dedicate it to the country, huh? Since you’re receiving a special opportunity, serve the country gloriously without any complaints and always show gratitude and respect to me…”

“You can stop now. There’s no nutritional value in listening more, and it’ll just make me angrier…”

“What?! You little brat whose blood hasn’t even dried behind your ears, how dare you! Do you know who I am!! I treated a good-for-nothing scammer like you nicely, and now you think you’re my equal?! You’ve really misjudged me, you bastard!! Do you even know who I am!? You worthless…”

“Stop swearing and sit down first. If you came for a fortune-telling, we should do the fortune-telling.”

“Ha! Look at how this bastard talks?! Huh? Look at this guy’s eyes! Those are eyes that could kill someone!! You disrespectful bastard…!! As if you have the ability to…!!!”

I raised my hand to stop the S-rank friends and crystal ball Arin who seemed about to step in without holding back anymore, and spoke again.

“Sit down. Don’t make me say it three times, it’s annoying.”

Wow, I’m so angry that when I force a smile, I feel like the corners of my mouth are trembling.

“Y-you…!!”

Anyway, speaking with emotion seemed to have some effect, as the troublemaker in front of me flinched and then sat down, trembling either from anger or something else.

Seeing this, I picked up the cards placed beside me and shuffled them roughly.

I’ve gotten quite good at shuffling these cards from doing it so often that I can do it flashily too… but such tricks aren’t for troublesome clients like this.

“Don’t open your mouth, just listen?”

Anyway, after roughly shuffling the cards, I drew one from the top and threw it on the table.

The first card that appeared was the trap card, Box of Desire and Greed.

Its meaning is…

“Wow~ You’ve been doing a lot of bad things because of excessive greed? The corruption you’ve committed is a truckload, but it would take too long to talk about, so let’s skip it! The important thing is that because of all those bad deeds, you’ve accumulated a lot of grudges, you know?”

Excessive desire and the excessively greedy actions that come from it will return as a boomerang full of grudges.

Desire and greed aren’t necessarily bad, but this troublesome client had too much of it.

He crossed the line, and without the ability or interest to deal with it, he only thought about enjoying himself to the fullest at the top of the swaying tower, so how could he not fall?

As much as that…

Thud.

The second card that appeared was a monster card, Murderous Ghost Carica.

“Because of that, you’ll end up dying. Four days later, at dawn when the moon is hidden by clouds, while drunk, on an empty street, stabbed by a knife, very painfully. Stabbed deeply by a sharply sharpened knife, very painfully…”

How could he not suffer?

Even if he doesn’t, that’s how it will end up.

When the talk of death came out, he trembled, either from tension or feeling anger at the absurd words, but he didn’t open his mouth.

It was just words, but it’s surprisingly effective? Anyway, the last third card is…

“Now, the third and final card is… monster card, Avenger’s Demon Sword.”

It’s a monster card, but it’s used as an equip-type trap card so it’s basically just a trap card… Anyway, the meaning of this card is…

“It’s simple. You’ll be stabbed by a knife and die miserably and painfully, in a place where no one is around, screaming soundless screams with a voice that won’t come out, dying where no one will see you.”

That’s the meaning, but I can know more details.

“Shall I tell you more details about your final moments? The knife thrust by the person attacking you for revenge will accurately pierce between your ribs, making a hole in your lung. With significant blood loss, you won’t be able to breathe properly or even make a sound. In that situation, you’ll feel fear of approaching death and desperately try to crawl and find a way to survive… but there’s no way to live. Feeling your body getting cold with the flowing blood and lack of oxygen, you’ll writhe miserably in pain until even your heart stops, despairing and despairing until you finally die.”

Now that you’ve heard my fortune-telling, can you avoid the death I told you about? The answer is ‘no’.

I’ve told you about the death that will come without a single error even after hearing my fortune-telling.

What I saw was, even after hearing my fortune-telling, you get angry at hearing such words and plot to do something to me, then while walking on the street heavily drunk from a bar, the moment my words suddenly come to mind due to the alcohol, you meet the end I described.

I could also see a fortune that could help avoid the future I saw here… but why would I have any obligation to go that far for this troublesome client?

It’s not like I’m going to kill him or he’s going to die miserably in front of me, so why should I open a way for this annoying person to live? I’m neither a good person nor a saint.

Well, even though I just told the fortune-telling as I saw it, spitting out words like this makes me feel completely better. Should I say it feels refreshing and invigorating? Anyway, it seemed like my condition would be good for at least today.

And to do that, I need to get rid of this troublemaker, right?

“Alright! I’ve said everything I needed to say, so please leave now, customer! And don’t come back. Ah, I guess you won’t be able to come back anyway?”

“You, you bastard, how dare you… Do you know who I am…!!”

“Sigh, instead of worrying about me and pointing fingers, why don’t you worry about your own future? There are people waiting outside.”

I called Akame with a grin, and as if they had been waiting, the people standing by outside the door forcibly dragged the troublemaker out and beat him up.

It seems they heard my fortune-telling, as they didn’t kill him. They restrained themselves well, well done!

Anyway, hearing that sound along with the miserable wailing coming from outside, my mood is just…

“Ha! Refreshing!”

It was just incredibly refreshing! This is happiness, this is!

Kya! I’ll sleep so comfortably tonight?! Good, good!
