You Will Be Blessed If You Do Good Deeds¿-Chapter 165
Stick to me.
Nam Sung-hee swallowed dryly as he looked at Jung Da-on.
That means that Nam Sung-hee is already on the ‘other side’... ... and already knows about his relationship with Theodora.
But, how on earth?
‘Did Un-gyeol say that? But if Un-gyeol opens his mouth, he’ll have a seizure, so he’d rather die than get the information out... ... .’
Although he pretends to be calm on the outside, Jung Da-on’s appearance is very unexpected to Nam Sung-hee, and frankly, it’s even shocking.
‘When on earth did he put James Chen under him?’
Until now, Nam Sung-hee had done his best to kill Jung Da-on.
Of course, unfortunately, Nam Sung-hee, who has a social status and is an ordinary person, couldn’t step forward and kill Jung Da-on himself.
Instead, Nam Sung-hee used all the foundation he had built up in Korea.
It’s a kind of murder-for-hire scheme.
Nam Sung-hee, a lawyer who runs a huge law firm, had a wide network of connections.
A believer of ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) the Chambit Church, the most radical religious group in Korea, who had once been his lawyer, was also one of those connections.
When Nam Sung-hee said he would sponsor him, the believer jumped for joy and connected him with Lee Man-bok.
It was only natural that Nam Sung-hee, a socially famous lawyer, would join the church.
After that, Nam Sung-hee not only donated a large sum of money, but also informed Lee Man-bok of Jeong Da-on’s information and gave him the item Theodora had given him to stimulate his desire.
In the end, Lee Man-bok failed, but Nam Sung-hee did not give in to failure.
The order from the Jovanovic family was to get rid of Jeong Da-on.
In that case, he would just comply.
From indirect means of damaging Jeong Da-on’s reputation as a viral company to a hard-line measure of using his connections in the military to assign Chambit Church believers to Jeong Da-on’s unit.
Jung Da-on, who had no particular background, was easily caught in every move Nam Sung-hee made.
However, more than half a year has passed.
Despite numerous attempts, Nam Sung-hee still failed to kill Jung Da-on.
Jung Da-on even gradually escaped Nam Sung-hee's grasp.
He joined the HP guild, and he was close with Yoo Han-ul and Han Jae-young, and even recently, he was called the savior of low-level hunters.
It is true that he became somewhat anxious because Jung Da-on's growth would become more noticeable as time passed.
So this time, he planned to move Lee Woon-gyeol to create a new guild, cause discord between Han Jae-young and Jung Da-on, and then take them out of the HP guild.
Nam Sung-hee naturally thought that this attempt would also succeed.
Because Jung Da-on had not yet noticed Nam Sung-hee's existence.
That was understandable, since Nam Sung-hee's involvement was information that could only be known after securing a certain level of social and financial standing.
And to build this foundation, even if Jung Da-on was a unique being, it took time.
But who would have thought that he would not only notice his existence but also counterattack so perfectly, let alone get caught up in it?
“You must have been surprised because you didn’t know I would come out like this.”
Jung Da-on smiled and looked at Nam Sung-hee.
Nam Sung-hee clenched his teeth and hugged his shabby arms.
He had to admit what he had to admit.
“Yeah, it’s surprising. Honestly, how did you get here... ... I don’t know. Since when did you start to lose sight of me?”
“I’ve never allowed you to ask questions. All you’re allowed to do is answer.”
Jung Da-on crossed his arms and looked down at Nam Sung-hee.
His gaze, which looked down on others, was very natural and arrogant.
“Will you stick to me or die?”
“... ... Are you really saying that? Do you think I’ll stick to you?”
Nam Sung-hee was genuinely curious.
What on earth was Jeong Da-on thinking when he said something like that?
“Since you caught me, you must know what I’ve been doing.”
“Yes, I know. That means you’re very useful.”
The arrogant eyes that obviously didn’t doubt that he would follow his words swept over Nam Sung-hee.
“Why, do you plan on clinging to a dead woman and keeping your loyalty?”
Did he even know that Theodora was dead?
Nam Sung-hee was inwardly flustered, but he didn’t show it.
In the end, it was a psychological warfare. For Nam Sung-hee, a lawyer, it was a fight that was even more familiar than a physical fight.
“My useless son opened his mouth. You didn’t kill Un-gyeol, did you?”
A voice filled with anger.
Nam Sung-hee showed a natural reaction that a ‘mother who worries about her son’ would show.
Usually, even the cruelest of personalities show some empathy and mercy when they show maternal love.
However, unlike Nam Sung-hee's trick, Jung Da-on responded indifferently without caring.
"You probably don't care whether Lee Woon-gyeol dies or not, so why are you like this? People like you don't seem to have maternal love. Stop wasting time beating around the bush and answer me. What do you want me to do to get you on my side?"
"Don't make me laugh. Why don't you give up trying to persuade me? It won't work even if you take my son as a hostage."
Nam Sung-hee responded sharply.
"I will never abandon someone who has done me a favor."
"Ahaha!"
However, Jung Da-on openly laughed at Nam Sung-hee.
"You're good at lying. Is that because you're a lawyer?"
"What? What on earth is your basis for lying?"
“I know you better than you think. Didn’t you help the Hunter’s family, who were still bound by mandatory military service, avoid paying the contract fee?”
Nam Sung-hee didn’t answer, but this time, it seemed like Jeong Da-on wasn’t really expecting an answer.
Jeong Da-on continued.
“Every year, at least one case you handled was mentioned as a case of excellence by the Legal Aid Corporation. It was quite an unusual move for a lawyer from a family that runs a large law firm specializing in corporate litigation.”
“... ... What are you trying to say?”
“Some people say you’re a privileged class that practices the value of noblesse oblige, while others say you’re supporting your husband’s political activities... ... I’ve just looked into your soul and am convinced.”
Looking into your soul?
Nam Sung-hee was startled by those words.
Of course, Nam Sung-hee had heard from Theodora that Jeong Da-on was quite an unusual person... ... .
‘No way, it must be a lie.’
Looking into the soul.
However, the black eyes were staring straight at him.
For some reason, those black eyes seemed to be red.
As if they were really looking into his soul.
“The only thing that moves you is the desire to win.”
A confident tone.
A look that said he trusted his own judgment without any doubt.
“Winning the difficult trial was your goal, right?”
That was the image of an arrogant ruler.
Nam Sung-hee stuttered without realizing it.
“What, what did I... ... ”
“And in fact, you don’t care about someone like Theodora, who is already dead?”
Nam Sung-hee opened his eyes wide.
“What is that... ... !”
“Well, there must be some sense of loyalty, but that was when Theodora herself was alive. There’s no way a person like you, who just enjoys using your power to trample on others and win, would still be clinging to repaying the favor.”
Jung Da-on took a step closer.
“So there must be something else you want to get from me. For example.”
And what he was holding in his hand was an item that had transformed into the form of the sword he had taken from Nam Sung-hee.
Jung Da-on shook his hand holding the sword... ... .
Chaeng-gang!
The sword fell to the floor.
Nam Sung-hee unconsciously rushed to the sword in a hurry.
Swish!
“Ugh, ugh... ... !”
Of course, his hand never touched the sword. Jung Da-on had stepped on it with his foot before Nam Sung-hee’s hand could touch it

Nam Sung-hee felt his mind flash back at the pain that felt like his bones were being crushed.
‘This... ... !’
Jung Da-on’s smile grew darker.
“Yeah, the item was your goal after all.”
He got caught.
That thought dominated Nam Sung-hee’s body. Sweat was dripping down his back.
Jeong Da-on, who picked up the sword again, smiled.
“This item, if you want to use it properly, you need to get it inspected regularly and replenish it with new souls. Right?”
It was just as Jeong Da-on said.
The item Nam Sung-hee had... ... was excellent enough to elevate Nam Sung-hee, a normal person, to the level of an A-class hunter, but it wasn’t omnipotent.
As Jeong Da-on said, he had to regularly supply new souls to the item.
Yes.
Repaying the favor was just an excuse.
Nam Sung-hee’s goal was this item that Theodora had given him.
This item gave Nam Sung-hee, a normal person, an overwhelming sense of omnipotence, and Nam Sung-hee could never give it up.
Even if it meant his child dying.
“... ... Yeah, so what are you going to do?”
Nam Sung-hee asked with a bit of resignation.
The cursed girl smiled.
“It’s simple. If this is why you’re on that side, I’ll give you more power, so stick with me.”
“... ... What the heck is that... ... .”
“If you just betray, the price will be very sweet.”
Jeong Da-on’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Nam Sung-hee.
Like jewels made out of malice.
“What if I could implant a magic circuit in you directly instead of an item like this?”
“You don’t have to answer right now. Just go to the hospital first and think about it calmly.”
Nam Sung-hee, who looked bewildered by my words, got up and got into the car.
Nam Sung-hee left like that, but I could still hear his heart beating.
Oh my, how excited she was to hear that she would implant a magic circuit!
Honestly, it was so funny.
Lee Woon-gyeol didn't know his mother well until the end.
Nam Sung-hee is a fanatic who is obsessed with Theodora, and lives to repay Theodora's kindness?
A woman who is a pleasure killer?
'You're making me laugh.'
I know that kind of person better.
She is a woman who has lived with the privileges of society since birth. How can she be truly loyal to someone just because her life was saved once?
It would be better if she were jealous and covetous of talents she didn't naturally possess.
Furthermore, a woman who is driven by such loyalty doesn’t jump in and try to settle things with James Chen directly.
He must have tried to somehow cover up this situation and go back to inform Theo about the situation.
Also, a woman with such strong beliefs as loyalty wouldn’t abandon her child like that.
No matter how two-faced a human being is, there is still consistency.
‘I knew this would happen if I threw bait.’

After confirming that Nam Sung-hee had completely left the place, James Chen, who had been left by his side, asked cautiously.
“I, Master... ... Why do you insist on getting your hands on this Nam Sung-hee? Well, he was born in Korea, so he may have an excellent foundation right now, but it’s not something I can’t cover if I have time. He seems too unstable to keep by your side and use.”
I glanced at James Chen.
“You even gave me advice, now I feel like a real subordinate.”
“G, thank you.”
“You took it as a compliment, so... ... Why, are you holding me back because it seems like I’m going to treat that woman more seriously than you?”
“... ... I’m sorry!”
I thanked him, then apologized, then I’m busy.
I laughed while fanning myself with a fan that I liked quite a bit.
What’s clear is that when James Chen says this, it seems to anyone who sees me like Nam Sung-hee that I really mean it.
- The ‘Doing Good Will Bring Blessings¿’ quest is in progress.
Are you really saying that you’re sending me that message because I lied?
Wow, anyone can lie to this extent.
In fact, didn’t Nam Sung-hee feel like he was half-confident about whether I was sincere until the very end?
It’s just that the bait I threw was too big.
‘Even so, I was already blinded by desire... ... That woman thinks I’m too young and arrogant.’
I’m aware of how others see me to that extent.
Prejudice? What’s the big deal?
Crying about prejudice is something that only ordinary humans do.
In any case, humans end up evaluating others by their own standards. It is impossible for even God to change those standards, so the devil uses those arbitrary standards as a virtue.
That is why I was certain that Nam Sung-hee would ultimately believe what I said.
“You are right. Nam Sung-hee is... very unstable to keep by your side like you.”
If Nam Sung-hee’s desire is to turn the tables and win in a life-threatening match, then I will be the one who Nam Sung-hee’s sword will eventually be pointed at.
I would rather have the foolish Lee Woon-gyeol than have such a capable enemy by my side.
Since he is an ordinary person without a magic circuit, I cannot feed him loneliness.
Since destructive acts themselves are enjoyable, it will be difficult to control them.
“You may think highly of yourself, but in my view, Nam Sung-hee is at best a pawn in a chess game.”
The item that Nam Sung-hee had was definitely excellent. It must be one of the masterpieces among the items made by Orbis.
However, it was an item that was ultimately made to eat away at one’s lifespan.
In other words, the other side thinks of Nam Sung-hee as a disposable item.
In that case, if I were to kill Nam Sung-hee here and now, it might feel good, but it wouldn’t deal much damage to the other side.
I could use Nam Sung-hee to find Theo, but the physical distance is the problem.
If I cut off my contact while I’m flying and disappear, it’s over.
Europe is the other side’s base. Even if I go over there with information, my chances of winning are slim.
In addition, Nam Sung-hee has a higher social reputation than you might think. Although he went through a difficult trial because of his own desires, it ended up being a ‘good deed.’
In other words, he’s a difficult opponent for me to kill because I’m tied to a quest.
But he’s also a burden to keep by my side, as James Chen said.
In that case, I had no choice but to think of the most effective way to utilize Nam Sung-hee in this situation.
James Chen asked curiously.
“If you think so little of me, why did you say that to Nam Sung-hee?”
“Since he’s such a worthless pawn, there are things the other party can try.”
I tapped my lips with my fan and laughed.
It was the first time in a long time that I felt really happy.
“Hey, let’s see how Orbis will move Nam Sung-hee, who came into my base.”
One thing my sister from my previous life should keep in mind is that even though I lost in the end, my record at chess with that woman wasn’t that bad.
