The Seduction System

The young man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Baek Yisoo leaving the restaurant. He rubbed his hands together on the table. His face and back were soaked with sweat. He was so tense that the beating of his heart could be heard outside. 

A few seconds after Baek Yisoo left the restaurant, the man sitting at the table behind him stood up and sat down at his table.

The man put a pouch on the table before he spoke. He clasped his free hands together on the table and looked at the young man with cold eyes. 

"You made the right decision." 

The young man closed his eyes and said fearfully, "I have betrayed the principles of the Hao Clan. I will be excommunicated." 

"The Hao Clan believes in the supremacy of money. Standing on the side of the one who pays more makes you the real winner," the man said. He had a very upright posture and a stern tone. 

 The man was right. The basic principle of the Hao Clan was the supremacy of money. Given enough money, one could get information about anyone. However, the same was true for the other party. If he offered a higher amount of money, he could get them to give false information. 

Therefore, the Hao Clan was a double-edged sword. 

"It was an honor to work with you." 

The man got up from the table and left the restaurant with quick steps. After turning the corner, he entered the back streets and followed a complicated route. At last he came to a warehouse. It was cold inside and the walls made one shiver. Dim lights illuminated the corridors. 

The warehouse was filled with silence; only the sound of the gentle wind could be heard. 

"It's me, Poison Wind," the man said. 

Three men in black robes hiding in the corners came out. 

"What took you so long?" asked one of the robed men. He looked annoyed. 

"I had to pay the Hao Clan fifty silver to dodge our pursuer, so we have to use our escape money."

"No problem. Did you find a carriage?" 

"Yes. A transport convoy will be leaving in an hour. I got permission to join their convoy, but it cost a bit more." 

"Did they believe we were carrying a funeral?" 

"They didn't believe it, they ignored it," said Poison Wind. He had to spend at least an hour researching and arranging supplies for a safe escape. They already had a safe escape plan, but it was all set for tomorrow. 

Hiding for a day was too risky. 

"It's strange how everything can turn upside down in an instant." 

"There is nothing to do. We must survive and report the situation as soon as possible," said Poison Wind. "Have you finished erasing the traces? There must be nothing left to indicate we were here." 

"They keep burning inside. It takes a long time to burn the maps because of the materials used. We are also erasing the marks on the bodies."

"Good."

Meanwhile, Baek Yisoo was watching a warehouse with three other men. He was explaining the details of the plan to the three men while wiping Koo Mihyun's Clothes with the cloth in his hand. The first of the three men was Lee Sang-hoon. He was a tall, short-haired man with tattoos and a stern look. He was in his early thirties. 

He was an ex-convict and prison fighter. 

Kim Min-jun was a man of medium height, muscular and curly-haired. He had lost his family at a young age and fought to survive on the streets. The third man was short and thin. His black hair was very unkempt. He was an orphan and had no real name, so everyone called him Angry Lightning. 

Although they were second-rate martial artists, they were not very strong, but that was all Baek Yisoo had. 

"The four people inside are extremely dangerous and ruthless killers. They are also skilled in the use of poison. So be careful not to get hurt. All but one of them are third-class martial artists, so be careful." He took a deep breath and looked at Kim Min-jun. "Mr. Kim Min-jun and I will enter through the front door. Angry Lightning and Lee Sang-hoon will enter from the back and block the escape routes." 

"Understood." 

"Your mission is to prevent their escape, remember that." 

"Understood!" 

Baek Yisoo nodded and came to the front of the warehouse with Kim Min-jun. The warehouse really looked quite gloomy. The air inside smelled burnt and damp. Baek Yisoo turned the Storm Ruler around in his hand and kicked the door. 

BAAM! 

Kim Min-jun threw the torch inside as the door fell apart. It was very dim inside and so there were many blind spots. The torch illuminated these blind spots and made them vulnerable to attack. As the torch hit the ground, a man jumped out of the darkness. 

"'Gotcha!" 

Baek Yisoo swung his spear without hesitation. 

KLANG! 

The moment the spear and dagger collided, a muffled scream came from the mouth of the dagger's owner. Baek Yisoo turned his body and kicked the hand holding the dagger. The owner of the dagger retreated, clenching his Black Poison fangs, and tried to run deeper into the warehouse. But suddenly he was punched in the chest and thrown backwards towards Baek Yisoo. 

Kim Min-jun had sent Black Poison back to Baek Yisoo with his punch. As a former underground fighter, Kim Min-jun was skilled at using his fists. Moreover, with the Iron Fist Defense he acquired through Green Valley, his fists were like sledgehammers. 

"Son of a bitch!" Black Poison twisted his body as blood spurted from his mouth, narrowly avoiding Baek Yisoo's spear attack. "What are you doing here?" 

He was furious, what was Baek Yisoo doing here when he should be on the other side of the city? As he asked this question, Black Poison tried to reach for the vials of poison at his waist, but Baek Yisoo struck his hand with the shaft of his spear. 

"I won't allow it!" 

Baek Yisoo knew he had to act fast. The others must have already decided to leave the warehouse. 

Swoosh! 

Suddenly, an arrow appeared at the base of Baek Yisoo's neck. Because it came from inside the darkness, Baek Yisoo was unable to react in time. His instincts were not yet developed enough to sense danger. 

Bam! 

Fortunately, Kim Min-jun was quick enough to kick Baek Yisoo and knock the arrow out of its trajectory. 

Baek Yisoo immediately regained his senses and savagely swung his spear at Black Poison's back as it tried to escape. 

Black Poison staggered and a scream echoed through the warehouse. Baek Yisoo had cut his back. Black Poison staggered for a moment before collapsing. 

"Son of a bitch!"Even though Black Poison had collapsed on the ground, he was reaching for the vials of poison around his waist. When Baek Yisoo saw this, he flew into a rage. After hitting the man on the head with the handle of his spear, he pierced both of his shoulders, rendering his arms useless. 

BOOM! 

Meanwhile, Kim Min-jun had dived into the darkness and managed to land a solid punch on the assassin. The assassin was sent flying back meters by the impact of the punch. Kim Min-jun's punch was strong enough to break the ribs when it hit the naked body. 

After Baek Yisoo was sure that he had neutralized Black Poison, he picked up the poison bottle and needles. He ignored the assassin fighting with Kim Min-jun and moved Black Poison away from the conflict. After pushing the man against the wall, he felt his mouth with his hand and pulled out the poison tied to his molar. 

Baek Yisoo had things to ask, so at least one person had to survive. 

BAM! 

Swish! 

The confrontation between Kim Min-jun and the assassin was reversed a moment later. When Kim Min-jun's nose suddenly started bleeding, the internal energy coursing through his body froze. 

"Hahahaha! Die!" 

The assassin shouted and swung his dagger, inflicting a huge wound on Kim Min-jun's chest. But immediately afterward, a spear entered his armpit, first cutting a path there, then lodging in his brain. 

Splash! 

The blood on the floor was nauseating. 

Baek Yisoo pulled the spear back and watched the assassin's body fall like a puppet. 

Kim Min-jun fell to his knees, staring at the blood pouring from his nose. His eyes were already bloodshot, and Baek Yisoo immediately handed him one of the bottles. 

"This contains the antidote. After drinking this, meditate immediately. It won't be hard to get the poison out of your body." 

Kim Min-jun nodded and took the bottle. 

Baek Yisoo didn't wait any longer and ran deeper into the warehouse.
