The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player

Chapter 10: Taegyu Bae (1)

Die bastard die!

Loud noises echoed through the factory since early morning.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Bae Taegyu knocked down three students on their knees, one after the other.

Didnt I tell you to bring me 200,000 won each? Didnt I?

Ugh

What? You wont answer? Are you ignoring me?

Just a moment Please!

Bae Taegyu kicked the students chin.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The students groaned and cowered like turtles as the beating continued.

Are you blocking me? Huh? Look at me.

The sight of Bae Taegyu grabbing the students hair and slapping their cheeks made the gang smoking cigarettes behind him laugh out loud.

But in reality, they were tense and fearful of Bae Taegyus merciless attitude.

Of course, its Bae Taegyu. He doesnt spare even the nerds.

Even other school seniors are afraid of him.

Remember, dont mess with Bae Taegyu, no matter what happens.

Bae Taegyu was 185cm tall, a rather large build for a second-year middle school student.

Undoubtedly, he was overwhelmingly dominant among his peers and famous even among the gangsters for his fighting skills.

Motherfuckers, I was planning to buy a motorcycle with the money I thought I would receive today, but you useless bastards havent helped me since morning.

Bae Taegyu turned to his gang.

Hey, do any of you bastards have any money?

Us? Really?

Ill definitely pay you back next month.

The gang was taken aback and each of them nervously scratched the back of his head.

Sorry, I rarely get some allowance from home

I dont have any money either. Haha

Although they refused as politely as possible, Bae Taegyus expression twisted.

You useless bastards. Should I just squeeze you dry?

What? Us?

Yeah, you bastards. Whats the difference between you and the shuttle kids if you cant even lend me money?

Bae Taegyu was genuinely furious, causing them to bow their heads and apologize.

Sorry, we couldnt help

Ill try to save some money from my allowance to help you buy the motorcycle

Forget it. The bastards said allowance. How will you ever save enough money?

Frustrated, Bae Taegyu kicked the students lying on the ground in a fit of anger.

Thud! Thud!

Fucking punks!

Thud! Thud!

If these brats had brought the money on time, This would never have happened!

It was only when the students were lying down, exhausted, that Bae Taegyus stomping stopped. They couldnt even groan in pain anymore.

Ugh, fucking scum! Get lost!

Bae Taegyu spat on the ground and pointed his finger at the delinquents.

One of them quickly offered him a cigarette.

Phew.

As Bae Taegyu took a puff and exhaled smoke, he turned to the gang again.

Hey, where can we get some money?

Money? You mean, like, right now?

Yeah, we need it no matter what.

Hmm

I dont know

They rubbed their chins and pondered as if it were their own problem. If they couldnt come up with a way to get him some money, theyd be in hot water again.

What about robbing a convenience store?

You wanna go to jail?

Or stealing from homeless people who beg near the station?

Those hobos hardly make any money. Whats the point?

How about we extort other students on the street?

Thats probably the most realistic option.

But where can we find students at this hour? Most of them are stuck at home on vacation.

You could check out the PC room or the karaoke place.

But there are a lot of CCTV cameras these days. Itll be tough.

Then we need to cover our faces and be careful.

As they were casually conspiring to commit a crime, one of the gang suddenly spoke up.

Oh, by the way, Taegyu.

Yeah?

Why didnt you call that shuttle guy in our class?

You mean, Ryu Won?

Bae Taegyus lips curled into a wicked grin.

I was planning on calling him today anyway. He deserves a beating as a New Years gift.

What if he doesnt show up?

Dont worry, I know where he lives.

We could always pick on him.

Right. Thatll work.

While the gang looked at each other in agreement, Bae Taegyu shook his head.

That guys a pauper. I believe he cant even afford cup ramen.

Huh? Really?

Do you think Im lying for no reason?

Ohsorry.

But how poor could he be if he lives in Seoul?

The gang looked puzzled, and Bea Taegyu shrugged his shoulders.

I dont know either. But when I see him getting beaten up and not even earning a single penny, it must mean hes really poor. He even lives in some old, run-down house.

Oh, really?

Still, its kind of strange, isnt it? How can he attend school in Seoul if he cant even afford to live properly? Are his parents crazy?

That bastards parents are dead. They died in a car accident, so he lives with his older brother.

Although they might have felt a bit sympathetic, the bullies snickered and laughed.

Fuck, haha life is so pitiful. He doesnt even have parents. Hahaha.

So thats why hes so poor, that fucking bastard. Hahaha.

Their mocking turned into a conspiracy theory.

Hey, Taegyu. From what Ive seen, that bastard doesnt seem poor at all.

I think so too. He must have inherited some money, so why doesnt he use any of it?

These days, even orphans get a lot of welfare benefits, so they actually live pretty well.

Thats right. I think hes just trying to act poor so he wont get robbed.

Hes probably eating a fancy steak somewhere once hes out of school.

The bullies argument seemed convincing enough to turn Taegyus face a shade of red.

How dare that bastard to try mess with me? Ill call my gang and kill him right away, that motherfu

Just as he was about to take out his phone to make a call, Taegyu suddenly stopped.

Whats wrong, Taegyu?

Wait. Dont you hear something?

The bullies all stopped to listen.

Thump thump

They heard footsteps in the quiet abandoned factory.

Not just one, but at least two pairs of footsteps.

Soon enough, two men appeared in front of the bullies.

One of them was someone Taegyu knew well.

Oh? Its you?

It was Ryu Won, who had been the leading character of the conversation they had just a moment ago.

Taegyu let out a long sigh.

He felt his tension dissipate completely.

So you said the tiger would come, and he did no, not the tiger but a dog, perhaps? Is this your new lackey, Ryu Won?

As soon as they saw him, they started throwing insults at him and Ryu Won immediately looked scared.

While Taegyu felt somewhat satisfied with his reaction, he couldnt help but feel a little dissatisfied.

The other mans expression remained unchanged.

Didnt I ask you who this bitch you brought with you?!

Hes my

Before Ryu Won could even say anything, Ryu Min stepped forward.
