Weapon Selection

Impatient, Halt asked, "Shall we cancel our contract then?

Luck nodded "Okay, how do we do that?"

Halt hurriedly took out his ID card from his pocket and handed it to Luck along with a small knife "Our ID cards contain the magic power of all contracts and agreements as they are bound to us by our blood! Just drop a drop of blood on my ID card thinking you cancelled the contract!"

Realizing that Halt was in a hurry, Luck, thinking that he was acting like this because he was scared, made a small cut on his finger and dripped a drop of blood on Halt's card.

Halt, who watched Luck dripping blood on his card with shining eyes, breathed a sigh of relief.

'I'm finally free from the constraints of the contract,' he thought.

"Here's your card" Luck handed Halt's card back.

Halt took the ID card and put it back in his pocket. "You hide here for a while and I'll come back when things calm down." He said and walked away as if running away.

Horace whispered, "Bastard..."

"Huh? Did you say something?" Luck thought he heard something.

"Nothing, Horace took his card out of his pocket and handed it to Luck." That's how our contract was broken, but for me, our business arrangement remained the same.

Luck was impressed by what Horace said with a smile on his face. "It's a pleasure doing business with you."

"The pleasure's all mine." Horace moved to leave "You don't have to worry about your employees, I've hidden them, so don't be seen out and about."

Luck, secretly worried about his employees, relaxed "Thank you."

Watching Horace leaving the ruined house, Luck's expression suddenly changed.

"Not only did he kidnap me for a recipe, but he also implicated me as a criminal, and he also implicated my employees in the same way!"

Luck, who started pacing around the house, said, "The Moon Council is not a solution for me...Then the only option for me is to kill him?"

Luck's eyes turned cold at the thought of killing someone. 

He wasn't sure if he had killed anyone, even if he had fought with the rebels during his military service, but he had witnessed people who had been blown to pieces by the rail guns next to him.

"Maybe..." said Luck, forming a plan in his mind. 

....

World

Ding!

Zack, who was driving his car, looked at the person who texted him, and his expression crumpled. 

He thought, 'You want to launder money again, you're gonna get in trouble, Luck.

Luck: -Zack, Are you free?? -

Zack: -What's up? -

Luck: -I need your help-

Zack: -WHAT? Do you want to launder money again?

Luck: -No, can you get a gun? -

Zack was so focused on Luck's message that he almost had an accident.

'What the fuck is he doing with a gun?!

Zack: -The same place tomorrow night at 18.00. -

Luck, who read the message from Zack, lay down on his bed.

He fell asleep thinking, "Can I do it? Can I kill someone?

...

Morning

Awakened from his sweet sleep by his mother's slap on the head, Luck looked around in amazement.

"Do you think you can sleep all day because you're your own boss?" his mother said aggressively. 

"What time is it mum?" asked Luck, who was confused because he had just woken up.

"It's already 06.30!"

"Huh? 06.30?" Luck looked at his mother blankly "Mum, even the employees will come at 08.00! The shop opens at 09.00!"

His mother waved her hand as if to say never mind "As a boss, you should go and inspect the workplace yourself before anyone else!"

Luck looked at his mother as he trained his head "You're excited about your first day working at Monster Burger, aren't you?"

His mum quickly shook her head no "Not at all!"

Luck looked at his mother's expression and made sure that what she said was true.

"Besides, you woke me up because you didn't have a key to open the shop, didn't you?"

Blushing, his mother said, "Stop chattering and get up, we're going to work!"

His stomach growling, Luck said, "Mum, what about breakfast?"

"You ask me because you can't make breakfast, right? Huh! Make it yourself!"

Luck: （｀〇Д〇）

Mum, do you have to act like a teenager?

Luck quickly got out of bed as his mother rushed him out of bed and they went to the shop without even having breakfast.

Albert arrived to open the shop around 08.00 and was suspicious when he realized that the doors were already open.

I wonder if a thief broke in?

Taking the work bag he always carried with him, Albert carefully went inside, ready to hit someone at any moment.

But contrary to Albert's expectations, what he saw was not a thief but Luck mopping the floor.

Albert: (ﾟAﾟ;)

Boss, what are you doing?

Luck: (¬_¬)

Shut up, don't say anything.

All the successive employees were shocked by the image of Luck Cleaning.

They all had the same thought in their minds.

Look at the boss! He came to work before us and started cleaning! He cares so much about his job.

It was as if his mum had suddenly become the secret boss of Monster Burger. She supervised everyone and everything and demanded that anything she didn't approve of be corrected.

At one point, even Albert was reprimanded by Luck's mother for not attending to a customer.

Even when Luck said he was leaving the shop to meet a friend, his mother nodded disapprovingly.

Luck's mother: (｀∀´)Ψ

Luck: (ง -_-)ง

This is my shop, Mum, I can leave whenever I want!

...

By 6.00 p.m. Luck had arrived at the 'Old Fisherman's' and, guessing what Zack was going to eat, ordered food.

Soon Zack arrived and sat on the chair opposite Luck.

Looking at the food on the table, Zack said, "Oh, you've already ordered the food, I hope it's not cold."

"Don't worry, it just arrived, it's not cold." 

The two of them chatted while eating their food, but after a while, contrary to his expectations, when Zack still did not bring up the subject of weapons, Luck became impatient and started talking.

After wiping his mouth with a napkin, he said, "So, can you help me?"

The smile on Zack's face froze. "What are you going to do with a gun? Don't get in trouble!"

Luck said in a soothing voice, "You know me, Zack, I wouldn't do anything to get in trouble, I just want to buy something for self-defense."

Zack chuckled as if he'd heard something funny "Self defence? What are you going to defend yourself from, game characters?"

Luck: ┌∩┐(ಠ_ಠ)┌∩┐ 

"I opened a shop and I'm making good money, I need to protect myself from thieves."

Zack: (⊙_◎) 

"Did you open a shop? If you're going to lie, at least say something convincing."

Shaking his head, Luck said, "If you don't believe me, come to Monster Burger tomorrow and my mum will be there. you can ask her or my manager Albert."

Zack, surprised by Luck's confident attitude, said, "You're serious! Oh my god!"

Luck realized Zack's astonishment and thought 'Why doesn't anyone believe me?

"Anyway, can you help me? Tell me."

Handing his phone to Luck, Zack said, "Look, tell me the gun you want."

Luck, who took Zack's phone, saw many weapons listed as he scrolled the screen.

Pistols, infantry rifles, sniper rifles, shotguns, and explosives...

Luck grimaced with dissatisfaction "No ion guns or rail guns? Those are all old-school gunpowder weapons!"

Zack looked at Luck like he was looking at an idiot "They're all military weapons and they're under heavy surveillance, you get your hands on one of them and the soldiers will be all over you. Are you stupid?"

Luck was not pleased but realized that he had no choice but to choose from the weapons on the list, so he examined the weapons for a while and chose 3 weapons and 1 explosive.

Showing the weapons he chose on the list to Zack one by one, Luck said, "These are the weapons I chose, what about the price?"

When Luck started to show the weapons he chose, the first weapon he chose was acceptable, but as Luck continued, Zack's face paled, and finally, when Luck saw that he had chosen an explosive, he looked at Luck as if he had lost his soul.

Zack: (」゜ロ゜)」

"Didn't you say you wanted a gun for self-defense? What are these weapons? What kind of self-defense are you talking about? And you chose explosives! So if someone attacks you, you'll throw a bomb at the attacker! Do you want nuclear weapons too?"

Luck asked in surprise "Do you have a nuclear weapon?" 

Zack: (꒪⌓꒪)

Zack, scared of Luck for a moment, said, "I was kidding."
