Original subtitles

Those soldiers must be a real pain, with all the work they dump on you.

Oh? You speak Japanese?

A little, yes.

They're the worst. They're always watching me...

All right, we're ready.

Today, we're going to pay them back together.

Wait... He isn't scary at all.

Someone like him would never curse me and kill me.

Besides, now that our eyes met, I can read his future.

However... the book is still at home.

CAFÉ

O-Oppa...

What are you doing?

Keep quiet. And give me your phone.

Did you really think I didn't know who you are?

The Book of Prophecies belongs to you, right?

What? He knew?

Please enjoy your time with us.

Shall we start our date, then?

Bring out the book and copy what's written in here.

What kind of date is this?!

And the book is at my house.

Are you joking?

Touch the mark on your arm and say, "Book of Prophecies."

That's how you summon it.

You don't even know the basics?

B-Book of Prophecies...?

It really appeared!

Now write. Skip one word, and you're dead.

What's the matter? Why are you slowing down?

My arm hurts.

If I give you the book, will you let me go?

No.

Why didn't I notice that he was just a good-looking jerk?

I could've already taken it away from her.

But the book is a Hero-grade relic at Grade S.

PANDORA'S RELIC RANKING GRADE SS (GOD-GRADE) GRADE S (HERO-GRADE) - BOOK OF PROPHECIES GRADE A (EPIC-GRADE) - MURAMASA GRADE B (RARE-GRADE) - GOLD AND SILVER AXES GRADE C (COMMON-GRADE) - EGYPTIAN FUNERAL DAGGER GRADE D (ANTIQUE-GRADE)

The penalty would definitely be massive.

Unlike with Muramasa, which was Grade A,

it definitely wouldn't stop with just my arm this time.

I'm afraid I must insist.

We're here under orders.

Cooperate, and we'll be gone quickly.

Those idiots found us.

That's enough.

P-Please don't.

Am I no longer useful to you alive?

You're misunderstanding.

Argh, you damn human! What do you think you're doing?

This is the only way you'll survive.

[CRUEL RELIC DESTROYER] YOU ACQUIRED A NEW TITLE. YOUR DOMINANCE HAS INCREASED. YOUR AFFINITY HAS DECREASED.

YOUR ABILITY TO DETECT RELICS HAS IMPROVED. THE SKILL "SPY" HAS REACHED RANK E.

YOU DESTROYED A HIGH-GRADE RELIC AND DISCOVERED THE HIDDEN SKILL "GIANT HUNTER."

Oh? "Giant Hunter"...?

Freeze!

Don't move!

N-No, the Book of Prophecies! What's going on here?

Do I really need to explain?

You bastard... You'll pay for this!

How funny.

W-What?

Have a bite of this instead.

DELICIOUS HOMEMADE RICE CAKE (GRADE C - COMMON / CONSUMABLE RELIC) INSTANT FOOD (SINGLE USE)

You'll love it.

What is this guy plotting?

Oh? Where did he go?

What's that smell?

It smells divine!

That's mine!

Have you idiots forgotten

who's in command here? It's mine!

You're not the only one with a weapon.

You dishonorable bastard!

Hand over the rice cake ...!

That cake is for me alone ...!

You're not getting a single crumb!

Now let go already!!

Give it to me! Give it to me!

Found it.

The Great Tomb Manifestation.

Back then, the entire world was swallowed by a colossal tomb.

It also caused far more relics to start circulating.

And then...

"There, the god who knows the depths of your greed will henceforth join you.

Go to the market of greed ripening underground in January.

There, the omen will begin and the catastrophe will unfold."

That must mean the secret Midas auction house in Las Vegas.

And among the participants... I'll find him too.

We found three participants with the initials JK.

Nice work.

Is one of them the one you're looking for?

Oh, yes.

That's Taejoon Kwon's fake identity.

NATIONALITY: PROBABLY KOREAN HEIGHT: 1.85 M WEIGHT: 80 KG AGE: APPROX. 50

If he's here, some useful relics must be up for auction.

None of them are God-grade, though.

Then what was the prophecy referring to?

The Code of Hammurabi, Shakespeare's Pen ...

There are still a few useful things here.

Hm? Are you... going to bid?

You do know that starting bids begin at one billion won?

I don't have any money right now.

Huh?

Did you forget where we are?

Let's make some quick cash.

Here in Las Vegas, there's money around every corner.

The Book of Prophecies was destroyed.

And he also shook off the JSDF soldiers.

Really? He did that all by himself?

Apparently. Should I take care of him?

No. Not if he's capable enough to destroy a relic like that.

Someone like him would make a valuable addition to our team.

Understood.

What the ...? H-How is this possible?

Unbelievable!

How is he hitting the jackpot on every machine?

Is he using some kind of trick?

Again?!

All right, that should be enough.

One moment, please. We need to inspect you briefly.

No guest has ever hit this many jackpots in a row before.

Of course.

What's this?

That's actually the Golden Axe.

Ah, I bought this pendant as a souvenir.

It also works as a pocket knife.

Excuse us.

I used the Golden Axe's ability

to filter out the machines that were about to hit the jackpot.

This is so humiliating!

How long do I have to stay in this form?!

We've drawn enough attention to ourselves.

Shall we move on?

Ah, damn it. What a hassle.

Could I get some space, please?

Why is everyone standing in the way?

Is this how you treat a VIP?

We meet again, you piece of trash.

They don't even have a separate entrance.

He's younger than he was back then, but still just as disgusting.

If Siwoo is here, then...

Out of the way. Come on.

Taejoon Kwon...

This way, Mr. Kwon.

He doesn't know me yet.

Just you wait, Kwon.

You're leaving this auction empty-handed.

Oof!

Jooheon!

What's with the bag?

It's close! Really close!

The Silver Axe?

It's coming! Do you hear it?!

Unlike the Golden Axe, which detects wealth for me,

the Silver Axe warns its owner of lurking danger.

But what's gotten into it all of a sudden?

You bastard, you're cheating!

As if! Hand over the money already!

I'm ruined! Where am I supposed to get all that money?

Oh? Why are the stock prices dropping?

You lost the chips? Are you kidding me?

I don't like this.

What's going on all of a sudden?

Everything was fine a second ago!

This is bullshit!

Not this!

This place is in absolute chaos. How can this be?

Bullshit!

Is that...

Irene Holton, the youngest daughter of the American Holton family?

In the future, owners of God-grade relics

were known as Kings of Fate, Conquest, or Abundance.

Among them, Irene Holton possessed the most terrifying power.

She was the "Queen of Bankruptcy"

and drove everyone near her to ruin without exception.

People lost their possessions or fell ill. Companies went bankrupt.

I can't get too close to her.

Pack everything up. We need to get out of here!

What's gotten into him?

Excuse me!

Please wait!

AN OMINOUS PRESENCE IS EMANATING FROM THE DOOR.

THE RELICS IN YOUR POSSESSION MAY TAKE MASSIVE DAMAGE!

WARNING NUMBER OF USES (DURABILITY) DECREASING!

Oh, damn it!

One moment!

Would you please hear me out?

THE OMINOUS PRESENCE HAS GRABBED YOU!

YOUR RELICS HAVE TAKEN SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE AND HAVE BEEN GREATLY WEAKENED.

YOUR LUCK IS COMPLETELY OVERSHADOWED. ANY FURTHER ATTEMPT WILL END IN FAILURE.

Let go!

Oh, I'm sorry...

I was just so relieved to see you ...

Seungwoo, what is wrong with him?

Why are you asking me?

Um...

Were you the person who just hit the jackpot dozens of times?

I've been looking for you.

Would you tell me your secret?

I'm afraid you've got the wrong person.

Hey, what the hell?

A goddess is showing interest in you, and you just run off? Hello?!

Don't move. We'll smooth things over for you.

E-Excuse me?

Um... I guess I should speak English.

P-Please... don't go?

These idiots...

Oh dear, I'm terribly sorry. Argh, my stomach.

I'm sorry. Call 119, no, 112...

Please hear me out!

It will only take ten, no, five minutes. No more...

Are you all right?

Do you really have to ask?

Well, what does it look like? It's all because of you!

That's exactly what I wanted to talk about.

What's that supposed to mean?

Everyone around me is plagued by bad luck.

I want to change that

so I won't make anyone else unhappy.

Hold on...

As the Queen of Bankruptcy, she drove people and entire countries to ruin.

Is she putting on an act?

Will you tell me the secret of your luck?

I'll pay you as much as it takes!

I just don't get it...

YOU WERE ONCE AGAIN EXPOSED TO THE FATAL PRESENCE OF A GOD-GRADE RELIC. YOUR SKILL "TOLERANCE" HAS BEEN ACTIVATED.

My Tolerance...?

YOUR TOLERANCE REDUCES THE ENEMY RELIC'S EFFECT BY HALF.

Isn't that the skill I got from that pill?

??? (CONSUMABLE RELIC / GRADE ?) INSTANT FOOD

And it activated because of Irene's attack?

YOUR TOLERANCE REDUCES THE ENEMY RELIC'S EFFECT BY HALF.

So? What do you say?

In that case, I don't need to avoid this woman at all.

Just having her nearby already strengthens my Tolerance.

On top of that, her presence will bring bad luck to the other bidders.

This is an absolute win for me.

An intriguing proposal.

Unfortunately, I have an appointment shortly.

Ah, I understand!

I would love to discuss the details of our deal.

If only it weren't for the auction...

Oh, um...

Why don't you... accompany me?

I'd be happy to!

We need... a doctor, please!

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen.

We will now begin the 74th auction.

Thanks to Irene, two thirds of the participants are already missing.

They must be dealing with unexpected problems.

Even though his factory in China caught fire,

Taejoon Kwon is still here.

He absolutely wants something up for sale today.

Wow, a 100-year-old wine from the Russian royal family!

The items I'm interested in will come later.

Ah, I see.

Irene Holton, Queen of Bankruptcy.

She's so different from how I remember her.

And she doesn't seem to know anything about relics.

Maybe that thing attached itself to her against her will.

So the Queen of Bankruptcy was once a kindhearted woman?

Did that relic alone corrupt her so much and ruin her life?

I... wanted to thank you for accepting my proposal.

Just telling someone about my worries has already helped me so much.

Oh, it was no big deal.

THE RELIC RESPONDS TO ITS OWNER'S MOOD.

ITS POWER IS INCREASING EXPLOSIVELY.

No, really! I'm truly happy!

Gah! Is that an earthquake?

A POWERFUL RELIC'S ENERGY SPREADS WITHIN A 1 KM RADIUS.

A MASSIVE WAVE OF MISFORTUNE BURIES EVERYTHING IN ITS PATH.

THE RELICS IN YOUR POSSESSION ARE TAKING HEAVY DAMAGE.

I'm going to break! Do something, you bastard!

The misfortune gets stronger the happier she is?

What kind of vile relic is this?!

Irene, please calm down.

We haven't even reached an agreement yet.

I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get carried away...

As its owner's mood changes, the relic's power decreases again.

T-The earthquake seems to have stopped, fortunately.

The bid currently stands at 770,000 dollars.

Does anyone bid more?

One million!

What the hell is this?!

Then you'll just have to bid higher. I'm going to win anyway.

P-Please, calm down!

Hah, we'll see about that!

Everyone is losing their minds because of the relic's effect.

That thing is mine and no one else's! Wait ... Could I use this to knock the other bidders out of the race?

Over my dead body!

Please don't feel bad.

I think you might be right.

Let's talk about the deal.

Really?

I made it sound like we could solve her problem in no time.

And the happier she became, the stronger the relic grew.

The participants completely lost their minds

and fought over every single item at the auction.

Kwon's Dominance must have been ridiculously strong,

because he was barely affected and even bought several relics.

Naturally, I only bid on useless relics to lure him into buying them.

Code of Hammurabi Shakespeare's Pen Marie-Antoinette's Necklace

Let's see: the Code of Hammurabi, Shakespeare's Pen,

Marie-Antoinette's Necklace...

But the God-grade relic from the prophecy still hasn't appeared.

How is that possible?

Now it is time for our surprise item!

You may have already seen this mysterious seedling in the news.

That's...

Qin Shi Huang's Tree of Eternal Life!
