It flew away.
Chairman Kwon's head flew off.
Everybody was shocked at this sudden incident.
“Uhh, uhh?”
They rubbed their eyes and looked again but Chairman Kwon’s head really did fly off. How else would they be looking at a body without a head?
Blood was spurting up like a fountain from his neck and they could see his neck bones, cut veins and even the arteries.
It looked like a scene from an Anatomy class.
Chairman Kwon's body fell to the side.
Boom!
Ju-Heon’s entire team was shocked.
“......!”
It was not just because their hated enemy's head was sent flying.
“She... why?!”
“WHY?!”
Who had done it?
Mammon was the one who sent Chairman Kwon’s head flying.
Her hand was still reached out. A chaotic aura was covering her hand.
It had used this aura to cut his head off.
Yoo Jaeha couldn't believe it.
"What the hell is up with that thing? Wasn’t it planning on making a contract with that old bastard until just a moment ago?!”
It had been super happy as if it had met a sugar daddy!
But Mammon was huffing in anger.
[This fucking dog-like old bastard......!]
Her face was flushed red from anger while her blue eyes were shaking.
She seemed to be trying really hard to suppress her emotions.
[You son of a bitch. How dare you try to sign a contract with me. You aren’t even qualified to be my slave.]
Mammon truly seemed to despise Chairman Kwon. This was quite unexpected for Ju-Heon as well.
‘I didn't expect such a reaction.’
Who would have expected her to chop Chairman Kwon’s head off as soon as she got her memories back?
He even had the following thought.
‘Does she really like the young and vigorous boys?’
The Chairman Kwon she would have seen would have been in his seventies. He would be much older than he is now.
That could have given Mammon the chills.
Ju-Heon’s simple mind was thinking that was the case.
Why?
That bastard was an artifact.
Artifacts were bastards who enjoyed human suffering and death. It wouldn't be angry that Chairman Kwon killed him.
In fact, it might have felt relief for getting the freedom to find a new master.
But Mammon seemed to think differently.
[You dog-like human.]
She felt more and more uncontrollable anger as memories entered her mind.
‘How dare you kill the human I cherished.’
Honestly speaking, Mammon liked Ju-Heon.
She liked him a lot.
Of course, Ju-Heon was a contractor that could never fully please Mammon.
Why?
Mammon was a devil of avarice.
It would naturally be attracted to wealthy and greedy people.
In comparison, Ju-Heon was a bum without even a house or any money at that time. And any time he worked his ass off to find an artifact...he served it up to that old bastard.
It had even said the following to him.
[Ahh! I heard that things were different pre and post marriage but this is a total scam!]
Ju-Heon had been so cool the first time they met.
He had made it all the way to her without any artifact with just his determination alone.
His greed had made her shiver with pleasure.
He was so dirty and petty that he broke the rules and tricked all of the gatekeepers to get to her.
It contracted with Ju-Heon because it had not seen such a crazy bastard for a long time but...
[I wouldn't have contracted with you if I knew you were such a pushover!]
All of his wealth was taken away. This pushover offered up every artifact he earned.
The artifact of avarice couldn't help but go crazy.
[So hurry up and diiiiiie! I'm going to go find a new servant!]
But Mammon had still protected Ju-Heon.
She told him about the traps in the tomb and even taught him survival skills so that he would not die easily in tombs. She helped him become the greatest excavator in the world.
Why?
No matter what, he was still the contractor she had chosen.
She found it quite touching how this ant-like human bastard was working his butt off for a healing artifact.
The thing he said was the most concerning.
‘There’s something I definitely want to do once I use the healing artifact to save my family and team members.
Ju-Heon had one greedy desire.
And Mammon was the artifact of avarice. It was quite curious about Ju-Heon's greed.
That was why she wanted to at least watch over him until that point.
An artifact’s life was long.
As long as humans kept talking about them... If their mouth spoke information about the artifact, these artifacts could continue to live.
However...
‘Fuck, that old bastard had no plans of giving him a healing artifact from the beginning.’
That bastard Chairman Kwon had betrayed this human’s efforts.
He then killed him off like a dog!
Mammon had been unable to do anything while standing behind Ju-Heon who had been turning cold.
She had cursed that moment so much.
She was an artifact but she was unable to do anything for this lowly human.
That was why she was angry right now.
Chairman Kwon was the one who made her feel ashamed and worthless.
He killed something she cherished!
Returning to the present...
Mammon was looking at Ju-Heon without being able to say anything.
“Oh, what a beautiful shot. That was a home run.”
Mammon frowned after hearing Ju-Heon clap.
‘He’s alive.’
Her human was definitely alive.
He looked the same as before and he was alive and talking to her in that same voice.
Mammon teared up and charged toward Ju-Heon.
[You damn human bastaaaaaard! You were alive!]
However...
Pow!
Ju-Heon kicked Mammon away.
[U, ugh!]
The tiny Mammon was sent flying like a soccer ball. She wouldn't feel pain because she was an artifact, but......
[Human! What the hell are you...!]
“Get lost. I'm not interested in little kids.”
[?!]
“Plus, who told you to chop this bastard’s head off as you wish? Do you want to die?”
[.........?!]
“Ah, whatever. Stay there without even thinking about running away.”
Mammon started to cry after feeling completely wronged.
‘Why would I run away?! I won’t run away you bastard! Why would I leave you and run away?!’
They met again and instead of greeting her he kicked her in the butt!
[You’re going to receive divine punishment! Wahhh!]
Ju-Heon didn't care and just stomped on Chairman Kwon's body.
“Hey. Are you dead? Are you really dead?”
The headless Chairman Kwon was not moving at all. The team members became curious and came over to look.
“This makes no sense. Chairman Kwon’s head was cut off?”
They couldn't believe it because Achilles’s artifact was known for being an omnipotent defense artifact.
It was impossible to go farther than 1cm into a vital point. Basically, it should have been impossible to chop his head off.
This was one of the best defense-type artifacts that could probably even stop an arrow from piercing through just the skin.
‘Well, I did pierce through all the way to his carotid artery right after returning to the past because he wasn't used to it yet.’
Even then, his attack had been stopped by this monster-like life force.
However, that seemed to crumble in front of Mammon.
It truly deserved to be an artifact from the 7 Great Tombs.
It was at that moment.
“Ah, he can't die yet.”
Jaeha’s eyes flashed as he poked Chairman Kwon’s butt with a stick.
“Alright, let’s see if you still don't get up like this, you hemorrhoids patient!”
He then got ready to stab Chairman Kwon in the butthole! As he was about to launch the attack...
“Ahhhhh!”
Jaeha foamed at the mouth and fell over.
It was to be expected.
"Aaah! What the, what the hell is this?!”
Chairman Kwon's hand was grabbing his ankle.
Chairman Kwon was holding onto Jaeha's foot as if to say that he would kill Jaeha if he did that.
“Hey, let go of me! Let go!”
Ju-Heon, who realized something, started to smile despite Jaeha foaming in anger.
“Look for his head first.”
“T, the head?”
It was at that moment.
“I found the head.”
“Is he alive?”
Chloe smacked Chairman Kwon’s head.
“U, ugh!”
Seol-A turned pale with disgust after seeing Chairman Kwon’s head coughing up blood.
This talking head was truly grotesque.
But Chloe didn't even bat an eye as she calmly responded to Ju-Heon.
“I thought he might die from blood loss so I did some basic treatments. Should I pull his brains out instead?”
As the rest of the team gasped thinking that she was saying such terrible things so calmly...
“No, I need him to still be able to understand me. Just cut his tongue.”
Ju-Heon was even worse.
Ju-Heon smiled viciously after receiving Chairman Kwon’s head from Chloe.
"Aigoo, our dear Chairman-nim. Too bad you can't die, huh?”
“.........!”
Chairman Kwon glared at Ju-Heon.
It was to be expected!
Although Ju-Heon sounded concerned, he was snickering with joy!
And then...
“Keep this safe for now.”
Julian seemed disgusted.
"What are you planning on doing with that useless head?”
‘Useless head?!’
As Chairman Kwon foamed at the mouth in anger...
Boom!
[The tomb is being destroyed.]
The tomb started to violently shake.
‘How dare you mess with me!’
Chairman Kwon’s evil god artifact’s aura started coming out when Mammon's tomb started to shake.
It was at that moment.
Booboboboooooooooom!
[A strong impact is flying over from the outside.]
[The strong force outside is starting to destroy the tomb.]
Mammon's tomb was being forcibly destroyed.
Mammon coughed up blood from the shock.
“Ugh!”
The moment they turned to see what might be going on...
“!”
They could see soldiers from outside the crumbling wall.
‘Pandora.’
Kwon Hyuk Soo was there as well.
There was also a new face among Pandora’s troops.
He looked like a handsome young master from a wealthy family.
“T, that person is?!”
Yoo Jaeha's jaw dropped in shock. This bastard, who had lived longer than everybody else, seemed to have seen this person before.
"That guy is definitely Pandora Executive Board’s......!”
He was someone from the Executive Board who had never shown his face before.
Seol-A gasped after hearing that.
“Huh? That person is from the Executive Board? That guy is the eldest son of the Rothschild family......!”
Ju-Heon just sneered.
‘Rothschild's eldest son my ass. That shithead is an artifact.’
It was obvious to him.
It could despicably pretend to be a human but he could tell.
The way it was covered in a chaotic aura must mean that this bastard was the one to forcibly destroy Mammon's tomb.
Mammon was grinding her teeth as she looked at him.
[Prometheus. That son of a bitch......!]
Prometheus started speaking.
“Unfortunately, this tomb and this artifact are dangerous things that should not come out into the world. Therefore, we are getting rid of it.”
‘A dangerous tomb my ass.’
Ju-Heon started to smile as if he found the situation to be despicable.
“As I expected. It must be bad for you guys if I get all seven of the artifacts from the 7 Great Tombs huh?”
“!”
“Then I guess Gluttony is the last one left.”
Ju-Heon’s Crow's aura exploded as soon as he said that.
Boom!
“Ahhhhh!”
“Grab those bastards!”
Prometheus sent forth Pandora’s soldiers, however...
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!”
“Why the hell are you guys getting so excited? Are you in heat?”
They were beaten up by Ju-Heon.
Kwon Hyuk Soo jumped in front of Ju-Heon at that moment.
He seemed extremely angry.
“How about you stop fooling around with my hyung-nim’s head?! Hand it over now!”
“Ah, this thing?”
Ju-Heon happily nodded his head.
“Okay, take it.”
There was a loud noise and Chairman Kwon’s head was sent flying like a baseball.
It would land somewhere in the Grand Canyon!
Ju-Heon had used the scabbard of Xiang Yu’s sword to send Chairman Kwon’s head flying!
Kwon Hyuk Soo dropped his jaw in shock.
“Hyung-nim! T, that bastard!”
Ju-Heon smiled brightly.
“But the body is ours.”
“What?!”
‘What the hell is this bastard planning on doing with the body?!’
“Grab them! Save hyung-nim’s body!”
However, Ju-Heon didn't care and grabbed the coughing Mammon over his shoulder like a bag of rice.
They then snorted toward the enemies charging toward them.
“Ah, please get lost. I want to go home, wash my feet and go to sleep. Please?”
He had a million dollar smirk before there was a bright flash of light.
A Heirloom had been activated.
[The fish Heirloom has activated.]
[The Bodhisattva has descended.]
