TOMB RAIDER KING

EPISODE 7: RELIC RESTORATION

As you've probably noticed, we're entering a whole new era.

As Chairman of TKBM, I promise to provide you with the support you need.

Come to my side.

You want me to come to your side while also telling me to join forces?

I can see right through your scheming. Don't make me laugh.

There's nothing deep about it. No need to get so tense.

You can use TKBM's countless relics to your heart's content.

From battle relics to medicinal ones...

Use your medicinal relics to my heart's content?

I still haven't forgotten when you used the Herb of Eternal Life as bait for me.

Don't mock me. I'm not going to fall for that trick twice.

Isn't this a surprise?

You really are skilled.

My judgement didn't betray me.

Is that the power of your relic?

Yeah. Is it a little creepy for you?

The Body of Achilles Dipped in the River Styx.

Achilles is a soldier that appears in Greek mythology.

His mother, Thetis, wanted him to be immortal,

dipped his body in the River Styx when he was young, and he obtained a tough body.

However, since his mother was holding him in the tendon, it wasn't in the water,

and it became his weakness.

His power must have a weakness too.

Problem is, I don't know where it is.

Finally figured it out now? You can't defeat me.

Well? You need more time to think?

Time? Oh, yes, please.

I need some time to cut off that disgusting smug you call a head.

Give it everything you've got, Muramasa!

What are you doing, human?!

Are you insane?!

Stop!

Shit! It can't hold on much longer!

Boss!

Does this power activate on its own?

Code of Hammurabi!

This is bad. I need to end this quick.

This prick...

He's still alive from the power of the relics? What a sick joke...

Kwon!

What, it's completely broken?

The Code of Hammurabi has taken damage too.

Both the relic of Achilles and the relic of domination that he possesses

must be damaged.

He won't be able to touch me for some time.

IRENE

Hello? It's been a while.

I have a request.

Could you find me a person?

Yoo Jae-Ha, a Japanese.

What did you say?!

The person called Yoo Jae-Ha has apparently passed away.

My older brother collects art as a hobby.

A few months ago, that person sold him a counterfeit.

He was once introduced by my older brother at our family home,

and I remember it well because I had a good impression of him.

But the one masterpiece we bought from that person

Floor it, will you! - turned out to be a counterfeit.

Stick close to that car! - Then my brother went after him...

But apparently, that person's car crashed through the guardrail and fell off the cliff.

I didn't expect this.

Yoo Jae-Ha. A relic restoration specialist.

Relics may lose durability or break for various reasons.

However, there are relics capable of restoring damaged relics.

We call the owners "relic restorers".

Yoo's nickname was the King of Fraud.

He was a member of the same tomb raider group as me.

I'm truly sorry I couldn't be of any help.

Restoration relics are art-related relics, and handling them requires affinity.

That's why they're not compatible with me.

This is a huge problem.

Hang on...

He's probably around 26 years old right now.

In that case, he must have met me for the first time five years from now.

And he's already dead?

Miss Irene, may I ask for another favour?

AKAHYO UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

The situation on site is extremely chaotic.

RESTORATION WORK IS EXPECTED The situation on site is extremely chaotic.

TO TAKE SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN ANTICIPATED Scholars believe this phenomenon

TO TAKE SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN ANTICIPATED is related to the strange tombs

WHILE TAKING THE UTMOST CARE that have appeared so far.

TO PREVENT FURTHER DAMAGE... Will the mystery finally be uncovered?

Will the mystery finally be uncovered?

Onto the next news.

A relic with astonishing powers...

All my effort to hide the relics went down the drain... Oww!

You activated your relic out in the open and even summoned tombs.

What are you saying?

That was an accident!

I'd never guess there'd be relics at the airport!

By the way, you're supposed to have the Relic of Immortality, aren't you?

To think you'd get taken down by just some kid...

You said he was Seo Joo-Heon?

He sure piques my interest now that he's gotten you so good.

Shut up!

In any case, you need your relics restored.

I'll go talk to the restorer.

Make sure to take good care of yourself until then.

Don't let Seo Joo-Heon get you again.

Hey, Old Man Edward! Been a while.

Wow, I didn't expect you'd answer so fast.

I guess the relic restorer must be desperate for money.

You know me well.

Unfortunately, things have gotten complicated, so I'll have to play dead for a while.

I've spent a lot of money on hush money everywhere,

and I feel like I'm about to lose my mind.

After committing all those scams, you even went so far as to fake your own death?

That aside...

If you're contacting me, does that mean there's a job that'll pay?

Let's just say it's a commission from the big shot you've been hoping for.

Regarding the art exchange run by someone close to him,

there were more than 50 locations nationwide.

Are you trying to visit every single one?

Boss, this is the last one, right?

I'm gonna die from exhaustion...

Just shut up and follow me.

Welcome.

Are you looking for a specific artwork?

A painting, sculpture...

I'm here to request relic restoration.

Huh? Relic restoration?

Sir, this is an art gallery where we deal in artworks...

Shut it!

We already know everything, you liar!

You wanna die or what?!

You idiot! Are you trying to ruin everything?!

First impressions are really important for this!

Shut up, thug!

Thug?! - What are you, then?

I ain't no thug!

How many is inside this bag?!

How can he have so many?!

Plus, they all seem to be at a high level...

So you do know what these are, after all.

Please.

These are mementoes that are very important to me,

but they're all broken now.

I was actually referred here because I was told you could restore them for me.

I won't tell anyone. Just this once, please.

If that's the case...

Would you mind waiting here for a minute?

Bingo. This woman is Yoo's secretary.

She must be calling him now.

He's the only one who can restore relics of this calibre.

I knew it. Yoo's still alive.

God-tier relic?

He seems so innocent that it looks like he'd be easy to fool.

What should we do?

In that case, give him the utmost hospitality.

Thank you for waiting.

Since we operate on a membership basis, you'll need to register as a member first.

But since you seem to be in a hurry, we'll make an exception for you.

Really? That would be a big help.

We'll check the relics' condition, so could you please wait here?

Right now?

So Yoo is here?

I'll just wait and see for now.

Sure, please do.

Wow, look at this! That's a lot of relics!

Who is this guy?!

This is just too amazing.

But is this really okay?

Don't worry. Go back to reception.

This is a piece of cake.

The reason he's called the King of Fraud, despite being a relic restorer.

It's because he has the Secret Signature of a Counterfeit Painter,

a B Rank forgery relic.

Using restoration as an excuse, he'd take the relic,

give the client a replica, and keep the original for himself.

The replica even gives off the aura characteristic of relics.

The aura disappears after half a day,

but until then, no one would notice it's a fake.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

It's okay. How were the relics?

Upon checking, it appears the damage is quite severe.

It'll be hard for us to restore it.

Is that so?

Called it.

What are you...

I'm calling the police!

Shut up and stay put!

Who's there?

Been a while.

Who are you?

Tie him up, Rope!

Let me go!

You son of a bitch! What's your deal?!

Hey! Do you know who I am?!

Hey, don't get so worked up, Yoo. Let's form a contract.

Then I'll let you go.

Shut up, you bitch! Get this rope off me!

Come on! A contract?!

You hear me?! - Looks like he's completely broken.

I told you to let me go! - He didn't use to be like this.

How long are you gonna stare?! - He didn't use to be like this.

Why aren't you moving?!

He was a rising star in the art world

and was even accepted into a prestigious American university on a full scholarship.

Unfortunately, however, Yoo's unique art style was stolen.

The culprit was his master, Richard Jang.

Yoo was branded a mere copycat of Richard Jang,

and banished from the art world.

The young, talented painter, whose career was cut short,

began committing fraud using his exceptional talent.

Yoo, who had hit rock bottom, came into the possession of the Secret Signature relic,

and he started working as a con artist.

Hey! How long are you gonna stand there?!

You hear me?!

I guess I won't be able - You into this kind of thing?! Hey!

to convince him like this. - You into this kind of thing?! Hey!

Well, I'm not!

Drop dead, you psychopath!

PATIENCE

Okay, that's enough convincing.

You know what this is?

Shakespeare's Childhood Pen.

It has the power to make what you write come true.

Hey, what are you trying to pull?

Poor Yoo Jae-Ha, suspended in midair, was tormented

by excruciating pain until the very moment of his death.

The pain came from...

...the crotch.

PARTY A: SEO JOO-HEON - PARTY B: YOO JAE-HA

This is basically a slave contract!

Slave contract? Call it an exclusive contract.

Hey, it's the same thing!

And if I break the contract, I'll be punished under the Code of Hammurabi?

What's that supposed to mean?!

Take a closer look. How much you think is the contract money?

That's 6,000 dollars.

In addition, bonuses are also paid based on the number of relics restored.

These are favourable terms, no?

Shut up! I've decided to sign a contract with the TKBM chairman.

You know what TKBM is, you scrub?!

TKBM? Oh, I see. That's pretty interesting.

I didn't realise Kwon already knew the relic restorer.

What now...

For now, I've bound him with a contract from the Code of Hammurabi,

but I need to bring Yoo, who's capable of handling even god-tier relics,

over to our side.

Let's get to know each other.

I'm Seo Joo-Heon. I came from Tokyo.

My job is serving as the leader of a new excavation team.

I came to scout you.

Your turn now.

Introduce myself? Piss off!

All right, then.

I'll do it on your behalf.

Yoo Jae-Ha, an art student studying abroad.

It seems he had both talent and passion,

but now he's just a copycat of Richard Jang, who's currently committing fraud

in LA using forgeries.

What do you know?!

Richard Jang stole my art style!

Richard Jang?

Is it really that easy to imitate someone's art style?

It might be possible, if the artwork is already done.

But he even managed to draw the picture I had in my head!

It's like he was peeking inside my head...

I'm turning crazy!

He even read your mind?

There might be a way.

Richard Jang might be a relic user.

After all, there are some relics that can completely copy other abilities.

How do you know that? Is that true?

I know a lot about this kind of thing.

Okay, let's do this.

I'll take back your art style and reputation that Richard Jang stole from you.

In return, how about becoming my personal restorer?

Richard Jang is a relic user?

Wait!

Boss, he's running away!

Let him go. I already know where he's going.

So that's why he could copy my paintings that easy...

Relic user? Richard Jang, this is the end for you!

You're the relic restorer Edward mentioned?

I didn't expect you to visit me this sudden.

Weren't you in hiding?

I'll restore the relics you have proposed to me.

I see. Go ahead, then.

But under a condition.

A condition?

I already know that the chairman collects renowned relics.

Under the same condition, the chairman would be better.

Yes. Do you know Richard Jang?

Of course I do.

He is a world-renowned genius painter.

He used that relic to imitate my art style

and gained his current fame.

Please take his relic away from him.

Then I'll sign an exclusive contract with you.

You sure amuse me.

Hey, Richard. I just heard something really interesting.

Do you know a Yoo Jae-Ha?

Yoo, where do you think you are?

I told you to stay quiet if you don't want to die.

Well, shall I put you to the ground now, eh?!

Hey, calm down, Richard. I'll handle him for you.

So what's next for you? Sorry to burst your bubble.

As you can see, I'm pretty close with Richard.

The hell?! Why are you suddenly punching me?!

Hey, be careful not to break his arms.

Yes.

Screw you all!

Mission complete.

And maybe I also gained a fan?

I knew you'd do that.

How could you tell I was here?!

I have my reasons.

I can read you like an open book.

I mean, didn't you sign an exclusive contract with me?

Let's get along well from now on.

That's a slave contract! Like hell I can be your friend!

Okay, okay.

Now that we've obtained information for our next step,

no time to dawdle.

Time to find more relics.

Next time: Crow's Secret.

There's a bunch of creepy things coming!
