As you know, relics are going to turn this world upside down.

As chairman of TKBM, I can guarantee you any form of support.

Work for me.

You want me to become your lackey?

As if I don't know what you're planning.

Who are you trying to fool?

What a temper. No need to get so touchy.

We at TKBM have countless relics that you can use to your heart's content.

From battle relics to healing relics...

Healing relics I can use to my heart's content?

I still remember how you used that tree to make me your hunting dog.

I'm not falling for that again, you old bastard.

Oh, that was unexpected.

You're skilled.

And exceptionally fast.

How disgusting.

Yes, the sight is not for the faint of heart.

“The body of Achilles dipped in the River Styx.”

Achilles was a warrior of Greek mythology

and as a child, his mother Thetis dipped him headfirst

into the River Styx to make him stronger.

Only his heel remained his weakness.

And the same should apply to Kwon.

I just can't figure out where it is, damn it.

Do you finally understand that you can't beat me?

Well? Do you need a little more time to think?

Yes, a bit of time would be helpful.

Time to smash that disgusting face of yours to pieces.

Give it everything you've got, Muramasa!

What are you doing, human?!

Have you lost your mind?!

Stop!!

That was too much.

Aah! Jooheon!!

Looks like the relic has taken control.

Code of Hammurabi.

This is getting too dangerous. Let's finish this quickly.

He's still alive?

Is this guy human or a cockroach?

Damn bastard...

Muramasa.

Shit. Is it completely destroyed?

The Code of Hammurabi took quite a beating as well.

But his relics should be the same.

Which means they're useless for now.

IRENE HOLTON CONNECTING...

Hello, Irene. It's me.

Could I ask you for a favor?

I'm... looking for someone.

A Korean. His name is Jaeha Yoo.

What did you say?

Jaeha Yoo is already dead.

You see, my brother is an avid art collector.

A few months ago, that man sold him a forgery.

He also introduced him to me back then.

I remember what a good first impression I had of him.

My brother bought a very famous painting from him,

which turned out to be a forgery.

Drive faster!

We have to keep up with him!

He and his friends chased after him, and that man's car

Step on it!!

broke through the guardrail and crashed.

I didn't expect that...

Jaeha is a restorer.

Relics can be depleted or destroyed in various ways.

In those cases, people with restoration relics are needed.

So-called restorers.

Jaeha was a member of my team and was known as the King of Fraud.

I'm very sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Restoration relics are usually works of art themselves,

and require high Affinity.

That's not something I can handle.

This is a big problem...

Wait a second.

He should be around 26 right now.

We don't meet each other until five years from now.

So how could he already be dead?

Irene, I have one more favor to ask.

WOOSEUNG UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

Things remain unsettled at the scene.

BREAKING NEWS. REPAIRS ARE STILL NOWHERE IN SIGHT. PLEASE CONTINUE TO STAY SAFE.

Scientists suspect that the phenomenon is connected to the strange tombs.

Has the mystery finally been solved?

The government has also issued a statement on the mysterious relics...

And I worked so hard to keep their existence a secret.

You're the one who summoned this tomb in the first place.

That was an accident!!

Who expects relics at an airport?!

You possess the relic of immortality.

How did a rookie manage to do that much damage to you?

Jooheon Suh, was it? A fascinating young man.

To think he could damage an almost indestructible relic...

Oh, shut up!

Restoration is our priority now. I'll put you in touch with a restorer.

Get some rest in the meantime.

And don't let that youngster beat you half to death again.

Edward, old buddy! It's been a while!

Oh, answering your phone right away for once.

Is our master restorer short on cash?

You know me far too well.

I got caught in a scam and need to play dead for now.

Some people are also demanding outrageous sums to keep quiet.

I'm seriously starting to lose it.

So the talented fraudster is trying his hand as a ghost now?

Laugh all you want.

Got a job that could make me some money?

Absolutely. I've got a big fish on the hook for you.

Here is the list of all the art markets operated by Jaeha Yoo.

There are more than 50 across the country.

Are you... planning to visit all of them?

B-Boss, is this finally the last market?

I'm completely exhausted.

Enough whining. Just come with me.

Welcome!

Are you looking for a particular piece? A painting or a sculpture?

We'd like to have some relics restored.

Relics?

I'm terribly sorry, but we only deal in artwork here.

Shut it!!

We know all about it, so spare us the nonsense!

You idiot, do you want to ruin everything for us?!

You have to assert yourself early, before the enemy...

Shut up, you wannabe crook.

C-Crook?!

S-So many relics! Where did he get them?!

And they're all high-grade!

Oh, do you recognize these pieces?

It's very important.

These relics are extremely precious to me,

but every one of them has been damaged.

I was told I could request a restoration here.

Of course, I'll keep quiet. May I count on your help?

U-Um... if that's the case...

Would you mind waiting for a brief moment?

Bingo!

This woman was Jaeha's secretary. I'm sure she's contacting him now.

Relics on this level would have to be handled by him.

I knew he was still alive!

Divine grade...?

Yes, and those guys seemed pretty clueless. This will be child's play.

So what do you say?

Customers like that are my favorite.

Sorry for the wait.

Normally, our services are reserved for members only,

but given the urgency, we'd be happy to make an exception.

Really? Thank you very much!

May I take the relics for a moment to check their condition?

Right now? Is Jaeha here?

Hm. Let's wait and see.

Ah, of course. Please do.

Whoa, how many are there? Who owns all these?

What a sight.

Are you... sure this will be okay?

Of course. Keep an eye on those people in the meantime.

I'll forge these in no time.

Jaeha was given the title King of Fraud for good reason.

Because he uses “The master forger's secret mark.”

A B-grade duplication relic.

He uses restoration as a pretext to keep the original

while passing a fake off to the customer.

The fake can even partially mimic the relic's abilities.

Until the effect wears off half a day later,

no one knows they've been scammed.

Thank you for your patience.

Sure. How are the relics?

I'm afraid their condition is far worse than expected.

So restoration is unfortunately not possible.

Oh, really?

I knew it.

What do you think you're doing?!

Stop that, or I'll call the police!

Shut up and sit down, you hear me?!

Agh! What is this?!

We meet again.

W-Who are you?

Tie him up, rope from heaven!

Hmph!

***, what kind of *** are you?!

Do you *** have any idea who I am?!

Untie me!

Take a deep breath, Jaeha.

We'll make a deal, then I'll let you go.

No way!

You can take your deal and shove it up your ***! Let me go!

Looks like he's already broke.

What are you staring at?

Get this *** rope off me!!

Are you *** listening to me?

Hurry up, or I'll rip off your *** and ***.

Jaeha wasn't always like this.

As a promising young artist,

he was even offered a scholarship by a prestigious university in the U.S.

But then someone stole the technique he had spent years perfecting.

The thief was none other than Jean Richard, his own teacher.

To make matters worse, Jaeha was branded the plagiarist

and driven out of the art world.

That is how the young prodigy ended up using his talents elsewhere.

The forgery relic found its way to him all on its own.

For an unscrupulous forger, it was the jackpot.

Are you *** deaf? Get rid of this *** rope!

And then you and these clowns better get the *** out of here!

There's no way I can talk him into it like this.

Forget all your deals!

When I get out of here, I'll turn you into a eunuch!

PATIENCE

To hell with being nice.

Do you know this relic?

This is Shakespeare's Pen.

Everything written with it becomes reality.

H-Huh? What are you going to do with that?

Poor Jaeha Yoo, trapped in his cocoon of rope,

shall suffer agony from which there is no escape.

And the source of that pain

shall be right between his legs.

THE FINAL DECISION THUS ALWAYS LIES WITH THE CLIENT. BY SIGNING THIS CONTRACT, THE CONTRACTOR VOLUNTARILY TRANSFERS ALL OF THE ABOVE RIGHTS TO THE

This is a complete slave contract.

Now, now. I prefer the term exclusive contract.

As if calling it something else changes anything!

And what is this Code of Hammurabi

that's supposed to punish me if I break it?!

You conveniently skipped over the $60,000 bonus?

And you'll receive a fee for every restoration.

So what's the problem?

Shut up! I already promised Taejoon Kwon of TKBM!

You ought to know who he is too, huh?

Damn ***.

TKBM? Pretty clever of Kwon.

He already knows about restorers, too.

How inconvenient.

With the Code contract, I've tied him to me for now,

but I still have to win his trust if I want to use his talent.

Why don't we get to know each other a little?

I'm Jooheon Suh. Born in Seoul.

You could call me the leader of a new excavation team.

And that's exactly what I want to recruit you for.

Now it's your turn.

Bite me. I'm not telling you anything.

Well...

Then I'll have to fill in.

Jaeha Yoo, art student at an American university.

Despite your talent and passion,

you're currently scraping by in LA with art forgeries

and are known as an imitator of Jean Richard.

You don't know anything!!

Richard, that bastard, copied my style!!

He copied you?

As if imitating someone were that easy.

I thought copied paintings wouldn't get anyone far either,

but that guy even painted works I had only imagined!

It was like he could read my mind...

It makes no sense.

He read your mind?

A relic could make that possible.

I suspect he has one in his possession

that lets him perfectly imitate other people's talents.

How do you know that? Are you absolutely sure?!

I know a thing or two about relics.

In that case,

I'll get your painting technique back and restore your reputation.

In return, you'll become my exclusive restorer.

Well?

Richard... is a relic user?

Hey, hey, hey!

Jooheon, that guy is running away!

Let him. It's obvious where he's going.

Yeah, how else could he have imitated me so easily?

Of course he's a relic user. You're finished, Richard.

The restorer Edward recommended?

What brings you to me?

I thought you had gone into hiding.

I'll take the restoration job.

Oh, wonderful.

However, I have one condition.

A condition?

I know he owns an enormous relic collection.

A deal with him will benefit me far more.

You must know Jean Richard.

Of course. He's that world-famous artist.

He copied my artwork with a relic and is now basking in the glory.

Please take that relic from him.

In return, I'll sign a lifelong exclusive contract with you.

How tempting.

Richard, hello. I heard something amusing.

Do you know a Jaeha Yoo?

What do you think you're doing, Jaeha?

Was my warning not clear enough?

Do I have to bury you alive this time for you to get it?!

Easy now, Richard.

I'll take care of him.

Well, would you look at that. Sorry to disappoint you,

but Richard and I are very close.

Are you the mafia or something? What is this?!

Just don't break his arms.

Yes, sir.

You damn bastards!!

The plan worked.

Better than I could have hoped. His eyes are practically sparkling.
