There Was a Porter Who Would One Day Be Called a Prophet

Chapter 77

77 – The Last One

If anyone can get away from being looked down on and be acknowledged, they will be able to taste the joy that comes from that gap.

Like the thieves who are talking in front of me right now, for example.

“Did you see their expressions just now?”

“It really felt like my insides were piercing, bro! I don’t know about those things.

“That’s exactly what I meant. The guys who only paid attention every time I went out went wide-eyed as soon as I heard about the captain.”

When the scarred head opens its mouth, the subordinates look busy sucking each other.

I couldn’t find any aspect of social life in their expressions.

In other words, every single word is sincerity coming from the heart.

‘Will it be that good?’

Anyone could see him drinking kimchi soup one bowl at a time as if he had already become the right hand of the captain, and he lightly laughed inwardly.

‘Unfortunately, I’m a man who is too precious to have as a gift.’

At this rate, I would be dragged away by the captain, but that was my goal.

-Wack.

It seemed like a waste of time to watch the bandits who were busy licking each other, so I decided to look around.

Maybe it’s because it’s located in the southern part, only the layout, size, and materials of the buildings are slightly different. Most of the appearance matches the hideout in the eastern part of the country where I was staying.

However, after getting out of the beginning, a scene that seems to have paid more attention came into view.

It’s crude, but there are windows that open and close, and buildings with decent doors that aren’t just covered with cloth.

The roof is also not roughly laid, but looks very strong. Unlike the thugs of the simple East, where every day they caught a deer, they were in a festive mood. The pay here looks pretty good.

‘Even though it doesn’t seem that affectionate.’

Looking at the rude guys I just ran into. As expected, Dongbu seemed to be better, sharing one side of the beans. It would have been great if it weren’t for the thieves.

I’ve been following the thieves endlessly like that.

“Hey Burke. Did you give up today already? You came back too early?”

A man wearing an eyepatch sitting in front of me made a sarcastic remark to me, and a bald man next to me helped me.

“Maybe I’m rather wise. I’m going to come back empty-handed anyway, maybe I’m thinking of conserving my stamina?”

“Ha ha ha! That makes sense! Burke! You must have been surprisingly smart.”

Apparently, the name of the scarred head that caught me was Burke.

Seeing that they are throwing provocations like that, they must be the same head.

As soon as they got up and approached, Burke hid the pendant he was wearing under his clothes and gave orders to his men in a quiet voice.

“Cover that bastard’s head.”

“What’s the point of covering up…”

– Kwok.

I tried to argue, but in that moment, the subordinates forcibly put on the hood.

– Kyaew!

I felt a soft touch on the back of my neck because Kyadol, who had already moved in, was pressed between them.

-Kyuwoo….

While Kyadol, who barely escaped to the side, let out a sigh of relief.

Before I knew it, the heads that had come right in front of me began to touch Burke.

“Don’t you know that if you want to stay here at this time, you can do it only when you have a great performance like we did? After eating some free meals, let’s just go out boldly, right?”

“Leave it because it’s pitiful. I think the head will change soon.”

“So? So Burke will be the 11th Head?”

“Where is the 11th? The 10th is the end. Kkeuk.”

“Oh, really, was that so? Then Burke will become a brat? Sooner or later you’ll have to call us big brother. What should we do, Burke?”

At that, I turned my head and looked at Burke.

‘What? 10Th? Was this baby end? ‘

Only then did I understand the treatment they were receiving.

‘Somehow, he had two underlings, and he thought that the treatment he received was the same as the one he received.’

The order of heads is determined by ability.

The only place where you can joke about being older brothers and sisters.

So the fight between them was always fierce.

You are sitting in such a special position, but you have no results?

It’s only natural that he eats up all the swearing and tries to cut it off around him.

To be caught by the head of the last number, not even a single digit.

Since he was proud of his escape, he was in the middle of feeling humiliated.

I could still hear the voices of the heads who were busy making sarcastic remarks in front of Burke.

“Who would have known. Burke, who was a promising player, would not be able to go up any further in the 10th, but would rather go downhill. The captain was also expecting it quite a bit, maybe?”

“It’s because of misplaced subordinates. If they were kind-hearted and obedient like our maknae, they wouldn’t have gone around like that.”

When the bald head mentioned his men, the still silent Burke responded.

“Get out of the way.”

At the sound of getting out of the way, the eyepatch, which raised its only eye, said as if warning.

“What? Are you mad, Burke? And what if I touch your food?”

“Get out of the way.”

But Burke didn’t care and replied in a stronger tone.

“Leave it alone. Even if you think about it, you know you won’t get it today.”

When the bald head stopped him, the eyepatch clicked his tongue once and then passed by Burke and mocked him until the end.

“The day you step out of your head. You better look forward to it.”

As soon as they left, their subordinates approached and asked.

“…Are you okay bro?”

“I’m sorry… It’s because we’re ugly…”

Head patted those subordinates and said.

“Okay. Today is the last time I’m saying that. Let’s go. To the captain.”

Seeing that, I got a familiar feeling from Burke.

‘It reminds me of my immediate senior. He was the only good person at least.’

The lifesaver who told me to run away until the end.

Although I was struck by the dwarf’s arrow.

If he hadn’t been a villain, he would have been pretty sad.

As soon as I remembered it, I wished for peace of mind.

‘Brother, the youngest greets me after a long time. Are you happy there?’

I didn’t know if I would be in heaven or hell, so I prayed roughly.

***

I calmly walked behind the pack of Berks.

Before we knew it, we arrived in front of a large and majestic building.

‘How much money did you spend on this? The lives of the thieves I know aren’t like this.’

I couldn’t keep my mouth shut because it looked like a hotel in the forest, but I suddenly felt that my body was being pulled.

“Let’s go in.”

The moment Burke was about to put his hand on the doorknob. The door opened and a man walked out of it.

“Burke? What are you doing here?”

What should I say?

As soon as I saw the heads I’ve seen so far, I was immediately struck by the feeling of ‘I’m the head’. Without that, he was a man with a very plain impression.

It’s to the point where I wonder if they’ll get confused among the thugs.

“Never mind.”

“Why? To beg the captain? Do your best. That way you can stay without getting fired. Giggling.”

The man laughed, touched Burke on the shoulder, and walked past us.

“…A b*tch.”

This time I agreed with him.

Even if I was the head, I think I would be a bit like that if someone who looked like that tried to match me.

“Let’s go in.”

Following him into the building, the spacious interior caught my eye.

After walking for a while, a door decorated with luxurious items and the guards in front of it appeared.

“What are you doing here?”

‘What is this….’

It was shocking to see the thieves and even gatekeepers.

‘Do you think Ji is an emperor?

It’s a situation that makes you think that you’re a kid who really enjoys everything you can enjoy.

Burke said to the gatekeeper.

“Tell the captain. The tenth head has something to show you.”

They looked at each other for a while, exchanging glances.

The guy standing on the right entered the room.

After a while, the door opened and the guy who had entered came out and said.

“Go in.”

Still, he seems like a thief, so he can’t hide his cheap tone.

Leave behind the hybrid of the gatekeeper and the thief and enter the room.

There were also thieves who looked like escorts, but more than that, the cabinets filled with shiny objects caught my eye.

‘If you put it all together, how much would that be….’

That time when I was instinctively looking around.

“It’s no big deal that you’re looking for me.”

The curtains were moved from side to side and a large man with a beard appeared.

‘Why does that look a bit like the captain I used to serve?’

No matter where you go, the superiors seem to be fat.

This is won. Even if it’s a bandit, I’ll believe it.

Speaking of thieves, one would usually imagine jumping over rooftops with the midnight moonlight in the background, but here, they were just bandits with added expertise.

‘It was more like a technical job with no romance.’

I remember the first time I joined the thieves. I asked when they would teach me how to ride a roof, but I heard a crazy sound.

Around the time when I was lost in reminiscence for a while.

Burke opened his mouth.

“I’m sorry I haven’t seen you in a while, Captain.”

“I mean, there’s a lot of talk underneath. I was going to sing it sometime, but it turned out well.”

He corrected his posture and continued sitting down.

“Burke. How long have you been a head?”

“…It’s been 5 years.”

“Yes, five years. Not a little time has passed.”

The captain, who stopped talking for a moment, began to speak bitterly.

“The ninth guy right above him also has twenty-two subordinates. But look at your situation now. What are two people? Two people.”

“Sorry.”

“I know that you hate the people below you. Yes, you can. But that’s true. We’re thieves. If we wrap our children around like that and don’t send them out even if we die in dangerous situations. How can that be called thieves?”

“Captain, that’s…”

“If you’re a thief, you have to live with someone else’s blood on your hands. How long do you want to live with something to eat?

“…”

I felt frustrated when I saw Burke not being able to say anything.

‘Are you pissed after hearing this? How important is the food supply?’

As long as it was the same position. It was me who was rooting for Burke inside before I knew it.

Yes or no. The captain sighed and pecked at Burke.

“If you throw away that personality, you’ll go up to single digits right away, but you… Uhh, that’s okay. You shouldn’t talk.”

Then he looked straight at Burke and said.

“Anyway, I’m really sorry to have to say this, but I think it’s time to put it down.”

Then, after a moment of silence, Burke spoke calmly.

“Before that. Could you take a look at this?”

– Seruk.

He took off the pendant he was wearing and held it out to the captain.

“Hmm? This is…”

Seeing the unexpected tribute, the captain’s expression changed 180 degrees, and my expression was also distorted.

‘Oops…. That precious thing in such shabby hands….’

As soon as I intuited that my precious pendant was being passed over, I felt like tears were about to flow.

“And there’s one more.”

“Is there more than this?”

The greedy captain’s eyes twinkled at the news that there was another news.

“Bring it!”

When Burke beckoned, I reached the captain’s front with both arms grabbed by his men.

“It looks a bit odd… But what is this?”

“Don’t be alarmed.”

When I showed a lukewarm response, Burke immediately pulled back my hood.

It was reminiscent of a chef opening the lid of a bowl and revealing it to the public.

“This is…!”

“I caught a guy with black hair and a strange outfit. I thought the captain would like it.”

“The pendant just now was formidable, but this is interesting as it is. I believed it, Burke! If I sold it with that pink hair, I could get three times as much!”

Goosebumps ran through her body as the boy started looking at me.

‘Should I write a certificate right now… ?’

If I showed the proof of the warrior party hidden in my inner pocket, I could have appealed that I had a special relationship with the emperor, but after thinking about it, I shook my head.

‘It’s not time to take it out yet.’

I decided to write Plan A here, thinking that I should try everything I try and use it if it doesn’t work.

“Ahh!”

When my mouth, which had been kept shut all along, opened, all eyes were on me.

What is that madman talking about? With the gaze.

With the iron plate on my face, I continued without giving myself a chance to come to my senses.

“Anyway, isn’t it too much to do with the same family!”

“What? Family? It’s not like you’re saying something.”

From noble mtl dot com

The captain took the bait I threw, perhaps because he was too dumbfounded.

‘Yeah, I thought it would come out like that.’

I started to spread out the words I had prepared on the way.
