My Range is One Million

Chapter 259: Request of Rothschild – 2

#1

His explanation was not very long.

Debaucher came out of the Rothschild family, and the family gave its full material and emotional support to him.

Money allows one to do anything. With the financial resources that were impossible to even measure, the Debaucher became quite famous at an early age.

Her name was Serena Rothschild.

She was already a six-star hunter at the age of 26.

She was a celebrity too — a model.

Of course Jaehwang wasn’t interested in anything like that so he didn’t know about her.

But Jaehwang’s eyes hardened when he saw her picture. She looked familiar.

‘She’s the crazy one with the red hair!’

‘I know.’

It’s been quite a while, so her appearance has changed but her signature red hair, milky skin and colorless eyes haven’t changed. She was a year older than Jaehwang, who had bullied Jaehwang at the Academy. No, it’s a bit misleading to say that she bullied him.

She had a bunch of her admirers around her, but ironically, she was hooked on Jaehwang. It was the beginning of the tragedy for both Jaehwang and her.

At first, she came up as a fairly normal person; but when Jaehwang did not even glance at her, she ventured into Jaehwang’s dormitory to launch an assault. Eventually, when Jaehwang left, her voice sounded like a hallucination in his ears as she was shouting to Jaehwang in front of the whole school,

“You’re mine! You’ll see!”

Since the Academy used the power of Kwon Je to treat all of its students under aliases, Jaehwang had lost his contact with her since then and had completely forgotten about her.

“I remember her as Serena Redshill. Did she live in Korea by any chance?”

James nodded with astonished eyes at Jaehwang’s question. “Yes, she was at the National Academy in Korea. The country was famous for its systematic Hunter education. Do you happen to know Serena...?”

“Yes.” Jaehwang answered James.

‘It’s her.’

When Jaehwang closed his mouth, James said with an earnest look, “We told her that it was a dangerous operation and I had to stop her, but I couldn’t win over her stubbornness. She jumped in recklessly to save the captured people. and they caught her.”

“Are you asking me to rescue her? I’m sure that the Rothschild family has other ways, if not me...”

James shook his head at Jaehwang’s question. “If only money could solve it, We would’ve saved her already. They chose to take Serena hostage over money.”

James, who took a moment, bowed his head and added, “I know it’s shameless to ask the world’s best hunter to do this, but not only am I her guardian, but I care about her like she’s my own child.”

“Hmmm...” Jaehwang fell into a deep thought.

He wanted to help as much as he could because of their past relationship, but it’s about saving people. Of course, the Kingdom of Three Sky religion was his next target anyways, and he might as well deal with it altogether; but Jaehwang’s original plan was to infiltrate its heart and wipe out all its top leaders at once.

This was Jaehwang’s favorite method, which was the fastest and cleanest. He would just have to wipe it out until it works. It might be called a barbaric method, but he didn’t have many options. This was one of the most troublesome reasons for dealing with a cult group because it meant that rational persuasion was impossible... However, if the variable, “Sreena’s Rescue” interrupts him, it would be a headache.

He did not know how things would turn out.

What’s more important was that Goongi was determinedly against it.

‘I’ll get rid of her even if we save her.’

Jaehwang would love to hear it like a joke, but Goongi doesn’t joke about such things. He didn’t want to save her and have a funeral. Goongi, who had to take good care of herself throughout the Academy when she was still powerless because of Serena’s obsession, hated Serena very much. If it weren’t for Jaehwang who wanted to graduate without trouble, something would have definitely happened.

That’s when James did something. The door was opened and a man in a butler’s uniform brought in a large black box and placed it on the table.

“Don’t come in until I tell you.”

“Yes, sir.”

As he went out with his head down, Jaehwang said, “What is this?”

“This is an artifact that my family had. Even if you refuse to do our request, I’m still hoping that you would accept this.”

Jaehwang frowned.

As he joined the ranks of the gods, he almost lost his lust. Though he gained the power of the Arrow in his battle against the Dragon, it is time for him to pay more attention to honing and polishing the divinity of his own than other things such a relic. It was poisonous to be distracted by such things.

“Don’t get me wrong. In fact, it’s like a cursed artifact. A lot of hunters tried, but they couldn’t even feel it, and a few hunters who rushed to touch it couldn’t wake up for days. So if it weren’t for you, it would have no real owner. Don’t feel pressured and please accept this.”

James carefully said while looking at Jaehwang’s face.

It was an obvious trick but curious, Jaehwnag opened the lid of the box. The box was double-wrapped. When he opened the inner antique box, a bow surrounded by a red veludo appeared.

The whole thing was shimmering with silvery light, and it was a bow made of metal, like his own.

All the fancy decorations embroidered at its surface indicates that it wasn’t actually used in combat. First of all, it was an ordinary short bow.

Jaehwang placed his hand on the bow and tried to feel it. And Jaehwang, who read the window that appeared a little later, opened his eyes wide.

“Hm... Astrafe”

All but its name was covered.

James opened his eyes wide in astonishment as he recited the name of the weapon that emerged in Jaehwang’s item window.

“Astrafe is the name of the thunderbolt, the weapon of Zeus who gave it to us.”

“Is that so?”

Jaehwang was born-to-be bowman, so he became even more curious when he heard that the name of the legendary bow was the weapon of Zeus, the Western god. Moreover, he had never heard of a weapon that would test a master-to-be. Jaehwang picked up the Astrafe’s grip.

“Hmm?”

As soon as he grabbed the bow’s grip, a thrilling sensation traveled from the palm of his hand to the tip of his hand.

“That’s funny.”

Besides, it’s quite an offensive weapon.

“Are you all right?” James asked in a worried voice. This was because he had seen people passing out at the moment they touched that bow. Jaehwang showed his palm to stop him.

Jaehwang, who stabilized James, glared at the Astrafe in his hand.

“So this thing tests...”

It was ridiculous that a weapon would dare to test a man.

“Why don’t you pass my test first?” Using the hemolysis technique, Jaehwang began to focus on the bow. A red glow from his hand began to embrace the Astrafe and a moment later, Astrafe began to quiver and scream.

Screech!

“Ugh!” James closed his ears when a scratchy high note went off but as a member of the Rothschild family, he soon watched him with stable eyes as if his body was armed with artifacts to do so.

“It’s holding up! Let’s see if you can hold this out then...”

It was enduring quite well as a legend-class artifact. It was unknown to whom in-depth it belonged, but it’s holding onto it because it had a minor divinity left in it. Since it was a divine weapon, Jaehwang tried to have it surrendered by gently handling it. But it did not know that Jaehwang was being kind to it to let it go and instead, it just stood up and screamed.

Swoooosh..

Jaehwang once again placed some strength in his hand. If he had softly attacked it before, he will attack in earnest from now on. If he holds on to this, he’ll give up. If he holds on until the end anyway, it will be completely ruined but Jaehwang had nothing to lose anyway.

SCREEEEEECH

Astrafe began to rattle and tremble even more. It seems as if it was struggling to get out of Jaehwang’s hand, but Jaehwang had no intention of letting it go. A minute or so passed. A white spark starts from the grip that Jaehwang was holding on and soon, the entire Astrafe was surrounded by the spark.

And... when the spark was lifted, the Astrafe was transformed into a whole new shape.

It was a form of curved bow similar to the Arrow, the main weapon of Jaehwang. All its fancy decorations were gone, and its smooth curves were revealed. What’s interesting was that there were lightning ornaments on the top and bottom of the grip and the bow as a whole. Of course, it wasn’t just a change of shape.

The hidden part of the item window was gone as if it surrendered to Jaehwang.

It was unknown what the test was, but Jaehwang drilled it with force.

“That’s interesting.”

Jaehwang pulled the empty bowstring from Astrafe. Then, a spark arose between the lightning-shaped ornaments and his hands and soon, a long streak of light appeared.

Papapak! Papapak!

Sparks spring from the lightning-shaped arrow of light. He can feel the beast crouching inside the weapon. It was also understandable why life and maximum range were marked as ‘flexible’. It was both a weapon and a divine living being. And depending on the user’s ability, its power varies from one to the next.

What should be specially noted was the arrow was shaped like this lightning.

Apart from not needing arrows, all the special abilities of Astrafe were based on this lightning bolt. He would like to take all the strength out of him and test it, but Jaehwang shook his head immediately.

Jaehwang could have been put on the terrorist list of the U.S. in a single breath if he played out the real power of this weapon, which he had grasped through Astrafe.

In fact, the White House could have collapsed if he did so.

“Hmm.”

Once he scanned Astrafe, Jaehwang placed it in the Infinity Storage.

He tried to be wary of materialistic desires, but what could they say? He was still half-human. Greed was a natural human need.

‘Aren’t you giving in too quickly?’

‘Grandfather said that people should be flexible.’

‘The old man did something useless...’

It’s Jaehwang who smirks at the reminiscent of Goongi’s grumbling look.

“Okay. I accept this.”

Jaehwang looked at James. He didn’t want to say anything else since he was going to accept it anyway. James’ face brightened, but Jaehwang’s words were not over yet.

“However, there are conditions. I’m going to focus on destroying the Three Sky Religion itself rather than Serena’s rescue. Also, if the Three Sky Religion collapses, the benefits that Rothschild will get will have to return to society. That’s my condition.”

“O-of course.” James’ expression darkened slightly before regaining its original form with a nod. If the Kingdom of Three Sky religion, a big pillar of the secret Mana Stone market, collapses, the Rothschild family will get the benefit in return. Jaehwang was referring to that point.

After meeting James, Jaehwang immediately called Irumi.

Now that the hostage has been captured, he’s determined to resolve it as soon as possible. It wasn’t originally meant to be, but perhaps now was the right time to bring the Kingdom of Three Sky religion down. The Kingdom would not have thought that the Archery Master, who just finished the Dragon Raid, would move to destroy them immediately.

“I could use the Dragon a little faster than I thought.”

#2

The next day, Jaehwang boarded a private plane, receiving the hospitality and blessings of countless people.

“Let’s go,” Jaehwang, who was watching this through his tablet, said as he got into a car emblazoned with the Rothschild family’s pattern.
