TOMB RAIDER KING

EPISODE 8: CROW'S SECRET

Seo Joon-Heo?! Why are you here?!

Been a while, Kwon.

I'm not trying to pick a fight. I'm just here to fetch him.

All your relics are broken, and you can't fight anyway, can you?

Don't make me laugh!

If you're going to act like that, I have no choice but to do this.

The bodyguards targeting Seo Joo-Heon and Yoo Jae-Ha

are about to suffer excruciating pain.

As for where the pain is this time, it's also...

The crotches.

What?! You con artist!

There's no way I can restore this many in three days!

What a lousy guy.

Every single one of them has cracks and looks like it's about to break...

They're all beat-up!

Stop whining and just get started! Also call me Captain and address me politely!

But... restoring it isn't that easy, you know...

With this many, it'll take a few months...

Sir.

Such a drama queen.

So this is the relic you're using?

The Brush of a Japanese Ukiyo Artist.

Why don't you see for yourself whether I'm a drama queen, Captain?

Are you sure?

Well? You think anyone can do restoration just by having this brush? It's not that easy.

I'll bet my annual salary on this. There's no way you can...

That's weird! How come you could do it that easy?!

And so quickly, too!

What now? I won the bet.

If you can do that much, then you don't need me, do you?

Just do it yourself!

I can't.

What is this brutal dominance?!

No! Get away from me!

You get me now?

Unless I have high affinity power like you do, I won't be able to use this well.

Even so, I can't work that fast.

I think you've got the wrong person, Sir.

Now...

Just shut up and give it a try.

I invested in the future you, not the present you.

Keep at it. You're sure to get better.

Sheesh, he's so gullible.

I'm counting on you.

YOU HAVE OBTAINED THE TITLE INSPIRED RESTORATION EXPERT,

YOU HAVE LEARNED A NEW SKILL What's this?

YOU HAVE LEARNED THE SKILL RESTORE TOMB (RANK F) Restore Tomb?

I get the relic - Hello?

and restore the collapsed tomb?

What good would that do?

Um, Captain?

OLD MAN EDWARD

Yo, Edward.

My, it's intriguing that you know me.

Wait, you know him?!

Of course I do.

He is a man who will one day claim the title of King of Wealth.

A British investor and a major player in the antiquities trade.

He's probably working as a middleman for relic users right now.

He provides important information,

but there are quite a few people who have been led astray by it and ended up getting hurt.

I'm thinking of commissioning a job to you.

I've heard about you.

I heard you really gave Chairman Kwon a run for his money.

It's an honour. So what's the gig?

You're just as I heard you are.

As for the commission...

There is a tomb in the Republic of Bent where a bounty was placed a little while ago.

The job is that if you join the excavation team

and find relics, you'll receive a huge reward.

However, ownership of any relics found must be transferred to the government.

I want you to volunteer for the excavation team,

find the relic I'm looking for,

and secretly steal it for me.

I'll pay your asking price.

The client is someone else, right?

What?

You're not the kind of person who'd go so far as to defy the government

of the Republic of Bent just to get a relic.

Who is it?

Who asked me to take on such a huge, troublesome job?

You're something else, aren't you?

All right, I'll tell you as a special favour.

This mission was requested by General Keira Clark.

What?!

General Keira Clark.

A fearsome woman known as the King of War.

I hope this helps you understand the current situation, Seo Joo-Heon.

Fine, I'll take it.

What's going on here?! Are you planning to sell me off to the Holton family?!

I mean, I'm sorry, Miss Irene! Please forgive me!

Um, I deeply regret having sold a counterfeit...

...to Mr. George Holton!

Please keep this a secret from him!

I'm so happy we get to meet again like this, Mr. Scammer.

Let's stop talking about this guy's misdeeds for now.

Despite his appearance, he can help you out.

From now on, please learn how to use relics from me and this guy.

Huh?

Since there's no way to remove the relic that brings misfortune from your body,

I think it's best to start by learning how to control it.

I'll teach you the power of dominance,

and he'll teach the power of affinity.

Since it's such a powerful relic, it'll probably be hard to control,

but those two powers should come in handy.

All right.

Strange.

More than two-thirds of Bent is covered in tombs.

Is that the entrance down there?

The bridge leading to the island has been destroyed,

so we can only get there by boat now.

Could it be a relic related to a ship?

What's wrong?

I lost my brush!

You idiot! Where did you put it?!

My wallet's gone! Where'd it go?!

Huh?!

Hey!

No way!

This can't be real!

Oh, no!

Amazing...

They even stole three of mine, too.

Rope, find them and tie them up tight.

Can I play? Can I?

Off I go!

Captain, did you find something?

Unless they're teleporting, there's no way they can escape.

Let's see what the thing got.

Okay.

Master, I tied her up tight!

And I wondered who that was...

A kid? Captain, do you know this kid?

She works for the American government and is a user of Medusa's relic.

American? Wait, Medusa?!

Hurry up and untie me!

Hey, stay put.

Before she was cursed, Medusa was said to be a woman of unparalleled beauty,

but this one's too young.

That said, I won't go easy even on a kid if they're a user of an artefact.

Don't do anything stupid.

We look like villains here...

Rope, put her down.

I wanna play more!

Let's play more!

You're not here alone, are you?

There's a lot of us here!

Untie me!

They're coming at you in a group as big as my class!

I see. So, it's pretty much just around twenty people, then.

So they mobilised the entire excavation team?

Huh? The general left this matter to Edward,

and the old timer left this to us...

They must have made a secret deal.

So that whoever succeeded would be able to get their hands on the relic.

The fact that Keira is so obsessed suggests that the relic here must be quite useful.

It's worth stealing.

Stealing?!

Aren't we giving the relic to General Keira?!

We're giving her a counterfeit.

What?! You want me to commit fraud against a major power?!

I'm not doing it! I'm out! No way am I doing that!

Section 5(b) on Page 1 of the contract.

Party B shall act in accordance with Party A's orders and shall not object to Party A's actions.

Past me, do not ever sign that contract...

Hey, kid. You know what the Code of Hammurabi is, right?

Code of Hammurabi?

No!

Let me go, you pervert!

We really are the villains here... - You want me to hurt you?!

What?!

You lost all the relics you took with you?

What are you doing?!

Calm down, Thomas.

I can't calm down in this situation!

We shouldn't have brought this brat onto the team in the first place.

She can't do a thing, causing nothing but trouble!

I didn't lose them! Someone took it from me!

Listen carefully. If you tell anyone about us,

you'll suffer unbearable pain.

You get me?

Someone took the relics? Who?

I don't know.

Huh?! What are you saying?!

Man, this really pisses me off! You useless little brat!

Vivian, could you tell us the truth?

We need to figure out how to get them back.

You said you'd help, didn't you?

Okay. It was two men...

Vivian? You okay? - It tickles!

Hey, cut it out already! Stop laughing!

So "unbearable pain" was actually me being tickled?!

Enough of this!

Is it really possible to sneak onto a cargo ship and land on the island without any plan?

Now that we know the CIA is involved, there's no time to waste.

Our top priority right now is to reach the tombs before they do.

Hey, what are you doing?! This is an emergency!

Stop dawdling and get into position!

Wow, that scared me. I wonder what's happening.

Pipe down. They're coming.

Who's coming?

You are finally here. I have been waiting, human.

Waiting?

Huh, it doesn't seem like such a big deal after all.

Really?

What the heck is that?! Those people are acting weird!

Oh, I see.

So getting bitten by the snakes turns you into a puppet, huh?

Not bad.

This is what it means to travel across the ocean.

There must be nowhere for you to run.

Hey, aren't you underestimating me a little too much?

What?

It's actually easy when I'm up against humans.

I'll just use this.

Every person controlled by the relic

laments their own foolishness,

bangs their head against the floor with all their might while apologising to me,

and then freezes in place.

Captain, it's working!

Not bad, human.

You definitely seem to be the person that Crow chose.

Huh... You seem to know me pretty well, don't you?

The rumours about you spread among us in the blink of an eye.

So even the relics keep in touch with each other, huh?

They're just gossipmongers.

How dare a mere human call us "gossipmongers"?

You sure are full of yourself.

Can you still crack jokes even after you know we are out to get you?

Wow, that's really great news.

Yeah, they're coming to us, after all.

What a bunch of ridiculous human.

Enough with the nonsense. Let me ask you something.

That Crow you guys keep talking about. What is it, really?

It sided with humans and attacked its comrades,

and devoured even their power! How unforgivable!

I would not forgive that thing even if I tore it to pieces!

The Egyptian relics also mentioned Crow's name.

It seems Crow is pretty famous among you guys, huh?

I do not need to tell you anything.

What? You don't know either?

I guess I was a fool for getting my hopes up.

What?! You are mocking me?!

That pesky Crow!

That being was a God-tier that could use

its predatory abilities to absorb the power of its prey and make it its own.

Once upon a time, Crow actually made a pact with a human,

and to make matters worse, it betrayed us for that human's sake!

As a result, some of my companions were eaten by Crow

or turned into slaves by the contractors.

Well, in the end, I threw that Crow in jail.

Jail? So the tomb I went in before travelling back in time

was where Crow was locked up?

By the way, how did you manage to lock up the scary Crow?

It was no easy feat.

I succeeded in winning over the Crow's contractor.

A contractor who wasn't very loyal casually discarded the Crow.

Thanks to that, I was able to seal it without any trouble

and kill its contractor as well.

You lowly human, what do you think of our brilliant strategy?

I don't know if it was impressive or not, but I did get some information.

What?!

After hearing what you said,

I'm starting to think that Crow might actually be a pretty decent one after all.

If you side with the Crow,

you will make enemies of all of us!

It's fine. I have no intention of becoming friends with you guys, after all.

If that is the case, I will not go easy on you.

Go, my beastmen!

What the heck?!

Time for round two.

Go away! Get off me!

I'll stab your eyeball!

Stop it already!

There's no end to them, Sir!

We just need to take down a few more!

Captain!

Gosh! It completely snapped in two!

I don't have any weapons. Let's get out of here before they show up.

Please wait for me!

For now, you go find a lifeboat that looks like it'll work.

We'll hop on that and get out of here.

There they are! The thieves from before!

Bring us closer.

It's them?

It's them! Those two...

If they're with that kid, that means they're the American excavation team.

I see.

I'll handle him. You hurry up and find a boat.

Y-Yes!

What is this tremendous power?!

Give us back our relics!

Not happening.

Anyway, you seem to be in possession of a nice relic.

Can I take that too?

You bastard!

I'll stab this right into your gut!

He moves surprisingly quickly for his size.

Well, it's about time I got serious!

No, you don't!

It looks like an iron pipe, but that is definitely a sword.

If I take even one proper hit, that's it for me.

It looks like I'll need a secret strategy after all.

Equipping a weapon won't change a thing.

Well, try me, then.

Drop dead!

Come!

Hey, Captain! What's up with that monster?!

We can't escape this ship at all!

I'm scared! This is scary, Sir!

Shut up! Shut your trap!

That General Keira looks scary as heck too!

Aren't you getting the chills?!

What if she screams at us?!

Shut up! You want to be tied up again?!

I mean, they even have guns!

I do have a plan too.

To accomplish our goal here.
