Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 280



Episode 280

I’m out of breath.

The bank president ran and ran again.

I was racing through the city at a really crazy speed.

To the bank where Suho appeared!

Quack! Kwasik! bang! bang!

The two legs which were unreasonably tense kicked the ground and cut through the wind.

The ground he stepped on was hollow.

The citizens of this city are all awakened.

The bank president was also a B-level villain.

However it was the first time since ‘that day’ that he ran at full speed like this.

However as soon as the bank president heard that Su-ho had appeared at the bank the hairs on his entire body stood on end just like that day.

‘We must stop that bastard!’

I feel impatient.

Are your employees coping well and calmly?

I am worried.

This means that there has never been any separate training on manuals for situations like this.

I felt too ominous to rely solely on the staff’s discretion for everything.

‘…Should we just follow the rules and attack together and kill each other?’

Quad Deuk!

As his flesh rose red energy spread throughout his body along his prominent veins.

One way or another the bank president was ultimately a villain.

It’s much easier if you just kill one person rather than racking your brain.

Ah it has arrived.

bang!

The bank president arrived at the bank in an instant and kicked open the door.

“Uh bank president….”

An employee opened his eyes wide and looked at the bank president who looked unusually disheveled.

The employee’s complexion turned pale.

‘what? ‘What happened!’

The bank president took a deep breath and quickly examined the bank’s situation.

Untidy atmosphere.

There was a desolate air in the air as if a storm had passed.

And at the center…

‘money!’

The bank president’s eyes widened.

A huge amount of money!

The enormous amount of coins piled up in front of the employees showed off their overwhelming presence.

The very money that had been discussed with the Union executives just moments ago was returned to the bank on its own.

However rather than being happy about that fact the bank president hurriedly passed over the money and checked the most important fruit storage first.

The warehouse… was wide open.

Crackling.

“…You fucking bastards.”

After seeing the empty warehouse he gritted his teeth and looked back.

Chawaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

At that moment his arm stretched forward and grabbed the neck of one of the employees with incredible speed.

He was the employee closest to ‘money’.

“…kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!”

The vice president whose neck was grabbed by the bank president’s hand started screaming and desperately struggling with both feet.

And the bank president’s arm that lifted him up with ease…

Surprisingly where human muscles should be numerous tree trunks were entangled and writhing like tentacles.

Just like… the branches of Alfheim.

“Say it.”

The bank president looked back at the terrified employees and opened his mouth in a cold voice.

“What happened here now?”

Madness flowed from his bloodshot eyes.

* * *

A little while ago.

The sudden appearance of Su-ho who opened the bank door and walked in caused a great stir among all the bank employees and citizens who stopped by the bank for requests and debts.

“Is that really possible?”

“Is that it?”

People were buzzing.

This is because Suho came carrying a huge bundle on his shoulder.

Suho walked to the bank counter with all those eyes on him.

People stepped back without realizing it clearing the way for Suho.

Thanks to what happened at the market this morning there is no one in this city who doesn’t know about Suho’s existence.

Even citizens who were not in the market at the time did not know Suho’s face but they knew his pseudonym ‘Ber’.

And at this point there wasn’t anyone here who wasn’t smart enough to not realize that the guy who showed up at the bank with a bundle that big was the person behind the rumor.

This is a place where it is difficult for a villain with no tact to survive.

Wow-

…!

The moment when Suho in the midst of their gaze opened the bundle he was wearing on his shoulder in front of the banker.

The mouths of everyone in the bank widened at the brilliant brilliance of the coin flashing inside.

‘crazy.’

‘I couldn’t believe it…!’

‘Is that really all money earned in just one day?!’

Truly overwhelming!

It was normal for any citizen of this city to think of greed first when they saw someone’s money.

However the amount of money that Suho had just taken out was enough to fill him with feelings of wonder rather than greed.

“I came to buy fruit.”

“That…”

In response to Su-ho’s straightforward business the banker was stunned by the brilliant light that suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Then the vice president behind him quickly pushed him aside and skillfully responded to Suho.

“Hello customer! I asked who it was and it turned out to be Mr. Ber who was in town last night! “You want to buy fruit?”

“Oh yes. “How many Alfheim fruits can you buy with this amount of money?”

“Hmm. Are you sure? “With this amount of fruit it is inconvenient to store it even if you buy it…”

“it’s okay.”

“Is there really a need to buy so many fruits at once? “It would be inconvenient to store it but it would be better to save this money in the bank and receive the fruit only when you need it…”

“I need it now.”

“….”

Due to Suho’s strong will the vice president had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

He glanced down and measured the amount of coins flashing before his eyes.

‘With this money…’

Gulp.

In fact… this amount is visible to anyone other than employees.

No everyone at the bank knew.

‘With that amount I could buy all the fruits from the bank…?’

‘Are you here to rob the bank’s warehouse?’

…No this isn’t a male bank robbery.

However instead of a gun or a knife the bank robber was trying to rob the bank’s warehouse fairly using a large amount of money as a weapon.

“Hmm hmm hmm!”

Under everyone’s gaze the bank clerk who was responding to Suho cleared his throat for a moment and desperately shook his head.

‘shit. ‘I can’t believe the bank president is away at a time like this.’

As it happened he went out to meet with the union’s executives in order to solve the problem of this ‘Ber’ that had suddenly appeared before his eyes.

‘For now… let’s take our time. The bank president will be back soon anyway.’

He desperately maintained a relaxed expression on his face and continued the conversation.

“Haha Ber! You are truly amazing! “I heard a rumor that you made a lot of money in the market today but it’s just like the rumor…”

“fruit.”

“Oh yeah! Of course I have to give it to you! however….”

“fruit.”

“….”

I was in big trouble.

Nothing works.

No matter what he said Suho just calmly pointed to the price tag of the fruit on the wall and repeated his purpose for coming here.

“Bring everything. “Because there is plenty of money.”

“….”

“The bank is going to need this money anyway right?”

At those last words the vice president closed his eyes tightly.

‘…You know everything.’

This kid wasn’t just doing whatever he wanted.

He came here clearly aware of the situation here.

And all the villains or rather hunters who visited the bank were watching their conversation with interest.

Slowly the look of embarrassment disappeared from their eyes and greed began to creep in.

‘If only I had that much money….’

‘I guess I can get a fair share?’

Gulp.

My mouth is watering.

Just like when I saw Verbaguette at the market.

Just as the use of force is illegal in a free market the same was true within a bank.

However from the moment you step outside the bank’s doors it is truly a lawless zone.

That guy named Ber will eventually become their target from the moment he walks out this door no matter what deal he makes here.

Now that they have actually seen that money with their own eyes.

There are no surprises.

‘First let’s all attack together and kill each other.’

‘Go then and share the money.’

Intense desire was blooming in the eyes of the hunters as they exchanged glances.

And the Vice President could also clearly sense their thoughts.

‘If I refuse this money here it will be handed over to them the moment this guy walks out the door.’

And it could have collapsed beyond the banks and into ‘paradise’ itself.

However handing over all the fruit in the warehouse to this crazy man named Ver would have ended in the same way.

It’s literally a situation where you can’t do this or that.

‘There is no choice. In this case at my discretion.’

He finally made a decision.

Wow!

Suddenly the vice-president who was responding to Su-ho walked up to the side and tore off the price tag on the fruit that was hanging on the wall.

“…?”

While everyone is puzzled.

The vice president answered Suho with an extremely stern expression.

“I’m really sorry but the price of fruit has gone up from now on.”

“Suddenly?”

Suho tilted his head crookedly and looked at his face.

“Yes that’s how it happened so please understand.”

“So how much is it?”

“10 times the market price.”

…?!

At his shocking declaration the eyes of the other villains at the bank widened even more than Suho’s.

“what? “Did you hear what that bastard said just now?”

“What did that crazy bastard say just now?”

Their blatant acts of murder were poured out on the vice president but the expression on his face as he stared at Suho remained unwavering.

“…You may not know it yet but in this city our bank is where money and fruit are managed. “For the safety of citizens and the balance of the city we have the right to change the price of fruit at will.”

That’s right.

In any case rules are rules.

It was clearly not wrong.

In reality the market price of fruit changes frequently.

And the market price is set by the bank.

However a sudden 10-fold increase in the market price like now has clearly crossed the line.

Because everyone in the city needed fruit.

‘But what if it were like this?’

The vice president boldly opened his mouth.

His plan is to repeat what Suho did in today’s market.

In short it is ‘power abuse’.

“In that sense from now on our bank has decided to sell fruit only to Vernim at 10 times the market price.”

“hmm?”

For a moment Suho’s brow furrowed.

“Of course other citizens can purchase it at the original price.”

…Hoo?

If you do this things will be different.

At the same time the corners of the villains’ mouths rose.

In an instant all complaints disappeared.

As public opinion changed the vice president smiled in remorse and drove in the wedge once again.

“As Vice President I will take full responsibility for this matter. However I am just worried about Ver’s safety. This is a city of villains. “It is too dangerous to keep this amount of money in your possession without keeping it in the bank.”

Smirking.

good. Even the justification is perfect.

‘So what do we do now?’

He smiled meaningfully and waited for Suho’s answer.

The plate was laid properly.

There were now only two options for this cocky newcomer.

‘Are you going to buy the fruit at a price that is 10 times higher and give all of this money to the bank?’

‘Or maybe I just take it out to save some money and get attacked by those hungry hunters and die!’

It’s genius.

The vice president himself was appalled by his genius ability to deal with the situation.

But why?

The guy… was smiling.

“hmm. okay. All right.”

Even after being subjected to such biased and absurd abuse of power Suho remained resolute.

He nods his head obediently without any sign of resentment or discomfort.

‘what? ‘Is this a bluff?’

But I soon found out that it wasn’t a bluff.

Suho didn’t even comment on the banker’s decision and just looked back.

And he spoke to all the villains who were looking at him.

“You all heard right? “For me the fruit becomes 10 times more expensive and for you it stays the same.”

Hehe.

At those words laughter is heard from all over.

Is there anyone among them who hasn’t heard that?

However the problem was what followed next.

Suho smiled and announced to all the villains at the bank who were watching him.

“From now on I will unconditionally purchase the fruits you bring to me at twice the market price.”

…what?

At those words the bank teller’s expression which had been smiling for a moment stiffened.

The villains who heard that also couldn’t believe their ears.

“What is that guy saying now….”

This is where Suho hit the nail on the head.

“Oh I just have a lot of money so let’s multiply it by five.”

…?!

‘Now wait a minute? ‘What?’

There was no time for the vice president to panic.

“Now start.”

…Aaaah!

As soon as Suho finished speaking all the villains in the bank rushed to the bank tellers.

“fruit!”

“I’m going to buy some fruit!”

“I come first!”

All random thoughts have already disappeared from their minds.

They say that if you just buy the fruit your money will be multiplied 5 times right before your eyes. How can you resist this?

“By the way you know this is only until my money runs out right?”

On top of that Suho even fanned the burning house so from now on it was a first-come-first-served fight.

“Give it to me! immediately! “Give me the fruit!”

“Now wait! “Hold on a moment everyone!”

“Please calm down…!”

No this was a male riot.

The mob carrying money began to fairly grab the bankers by the collar and harass them.

To sell the fruit back to Suho!
