Ren & Rena: World Heroes Legend

Chapter 21 Stalemate & Lee's Deal With Marco Atradika

2 Hours before the meeting of Claudi & Marco, Lee had made a mutual agreement with Marco.

After seeing Ren's condition, I decided to search for that person without his knowledge.

Leaving without a clue was not my style, so I took out a phone that was the main server of the eavesdropping device installed by me in various places. Searching with a description of the time a few minutes ago, I found a voice that matched the brief description recounted by Ren. After finding the exact location and time, I opened the CCTV footage obtained from my wiretap.

Men with mint-colored hair and tall but not muscled, yes. This type of person, would definitely make it harder for me to attack him. Not only was she agile, she had a wide range due to her height.

Ren also said that the man had previously shown a kick from the martial art of judo. At first I wasn't sure because it was the assessment of an amateur in the field of martial arts. But, everything changed when I saw his own movements.

Ren was great enough to still be able to maintain his poker face when pressed by the man. In fact, she still pretended to be tough even though the man insulted her. It's only natural that Ren asked me not to deal with him.

That guy's pretty dangerous.

While I was still thinking while walking, someone patted me on the shoulder from behind.

That guy asked me to go to the place where he met Ren.

"Lee Jun, go to the place where I meet Ren Gill now."

After saying that, he disappeared within the crowd of other students.

Pretty freaky. Where does he know about my bugging ability? Did he already realize that there were special bugging tools around them back then?

Just thinking about it would not be able to answer the question, so I decided to follow the man's request.

...

At the location of Ren's meeting with a mysterious man.

During the walk here I had already heated up my muscles, if he attacked at least I could resist some movement from the man.

From within the shadow of a building, a man who matches Ren's story appears.

I greeted him casually.

"Are you a ninja?"

A little distracted, he still maintained that fake smile.

"It's so rude, didn't the Jun family head teach you any manners?"

"For what reason should I be courteous to an unknown person, let alone a dangerous one like you."

Hearing my words, he seemed to think for a moment and then spoke again.

"Hmmm .. dangerous, yes. Let me guess, have you seen my kick?"

I answered the man's question.

"Yes, is there a problem?"

"No, no problem whatsoever. As expected of a member of the Jun family, you are indeed an expert in the field of bugging devices, huh."

This man is not just anyone, even he is better at knowing information about my background.

I tried to confirm his intentions.

"What do you want?"

"Coup d'etat, do you understand?"

"No."

The man sighed then said, "In short, I want to overthrow your enemies."

Overthrowing? Our enemy? No, I can't believe all the words from his mouth.

I started looking for information by exchanging words.

"Why do you want to do that?"

"Because he doesn't deserve to be in that position."

"What's in it for me if I help?"

"I'll promise you 3 things."

I turned down the too cheap offer and still wanted to find out a lot about the man.

"Rejected, the price doesn't match what I'm getting right now. Isn't it rude that you haven't explained all your plans before making an offer with me?"

He laughed and said, "For the caliber of a high school kid, you guys are way too horrible compared to when I was in school."

I immediately answered his words.

"I take that as a compliment. So, how?"

"I'll explain everything to you, but we need to do the deal on paper."

"As I wish."

With this, the negotiation stage and search for successful information.

The man took out two pieces of paper and a pen from his pocket, we also made a paper agreement that will be signed by each side.

Now the main problem, what to agree with this man?

He has high martial arts skills. Moreover, he was a person who could easily search for information of his target. From the exchange of words, I can confirm that all this is in accordance with the man's plan.

Dare to promise me 3 things. Want to stage a coup against the Elders. This guy-this guy

is he one of the elders?

I started to get some ideas.

First, he had to explain what he knew and planned.

Second, I ask for 3 things openly and 1 request in secret which means only known to the two of us.

Third, the letter of this agreement will take effect after it is signed.

Why am I not afraid of fake signatures? Of course because I've installed a recording device as real evidence. That man also couldn't possibly do anything that would break our agreement because he was very familiar with my background, in any sense he did around me there would definitely be proof of his recording. On the contrary, any eavesdropper around us other than mine will never function as long as it is within the designated range.

You could say there were no traps between us.

Stalemates.

...

After the agreement was read carefully and finally signed by both parties, we began to exchange information.

First, the man will explain everything about him and all the information he knows.

"... My sister is the coach of your class, Claudi Sarasvati Atradika. He's been protecting your friend in all sorts of ways without needing to use the identity of the Elder and eventually, one day he won't be able to protect your friend from our father if it goes on for too long."

"... Once we succeed in overthrowing him, I will let my sister become an Elder by herself."

I asked what Marco's purpose was.

"What is your real purpose?"

"Is my explanation insufficient?"

"From the beginning, you were just talking about overthrowing your father's power. Then, you tell me all sorts of struggles. But! You didn't say anything about .. what you expect from all this."

I pretended not to be interested in the fact that, Claudi was the Elder and Ren had long been the target.

The reason is pretty easy. If I showed more curiosity on both topics, he would just talk about it and then trick me. When that happens, I finally don't know what Marco's true purpose is and also, I will be harmed in the situation.

He chuckled and answered my suspicions, "I just want the best for my sister."

Unconsciously my mouth speaks for itself.

"Are you a Siscon?"

He hurried to deny my question.

"No, of course I'm not a Siscon. Isn't it natural for a brother to pay attention to his sister? Especially for a goddess like My Beautiful Angel, Claudi."

If you don't say that last sentence, maybe I'll believe it.

I'm trying to test it.

"Today I heard that Claudi went to Ren's house, do you want to know what it's going on?"

He answered without delay.

"Sure! Of course I have to know! Did they do anything beyond the boundaries between teachers and students? If true, right now I'll break the boy's head!"

As expected, this guy is really a chronic Siscon.

I showed him a picture on my phone and explained everything I knew to him. As I explained the circumstances back then, he looked very unhappy like a hot worm. Sometimes, he was also acting strange and looked extremely disgusting.

Siscon's disease was the worst, that's what I thought.

And now, it's time to ascertain something from the results of the investigation I'm conducting.

"Can you tell me the name of the elder-not I mean your father?"

Without further ado, he immediately answered my request.

"Baron Atradika."

After hearing his reply, I ended the information exchange session about him.

When it was my turn, I explained Ren's entire plan. Although all the details of the plan have been mentioned, he will not easily understand the details because it is a secret code made by Ren based on the preparation of various sentences. I also did not provide any highly privacy information to Marco in our exchange.

After the exchange was over, he asked me.

"Did you mind selling your friend?"

"Sells? Instead, I've helped him from behind."

He criticized me.

"You are the most terrible."

Without answering his criticism, I immediately submitted 3 general requests and 1 secret request.

"For a general request, I first want you to guarantee the safety of all members of the World Hero Legend Research Society. Second, I want you to help Ren at any time in carrying out his plan. Third, you must ensure the overthrow of your father's power."

He asked about my request.

"Why do I have to help Ren whenever his plan is executed?"

"Because only he can increase your percentage of success."

"I understand."

After that, I made the last secret request.

"I want you to destroy the Atradika family."

He asked my motive.

"Why?"

"If you don't destroy something to its root, the same thing will happen again."

"How is it?"

"Remove the influence of the surname Atradika from the face of the earth."

After saying that, I gave the paper that read "People Power all over the world" in thick ink.

Reading the words, he was very surprised. Naturally, because previously I only explained "People Power" but not with its scope.

Despite getting a rejection, I will not force it. But, something unexpected is happening right now. He accepted it without a second thought.

"I see, I'll make sure the influence of Atradika's surname disappears."

I asked him for a guarantee.

"What about the guarantee on your part?  I mean, isn't that your family name? Surely you'll be harmed, won't you?"

However, Marco denied all my words.

"No, for a long time the name Atradika was just a threat. Atradika is no longer a surname even today, we only use Atradika when introducing real names to others."

I mocked him a little to lighten the mood.

"Heeh~ turns out your family is quite troubled, yes."

"Yes, so~"

Responding lightly but the burden of thought he carried must have been very heavy, that is how I saw from him who was quite uraciously.

Feeling that the needs of each party have been met, we also separated.

There will be a day of destruction for you, Baron Atradika.

I can't wait for it.
