Chapter 234

**Swindler (2)** is the two hundred thirty-fourth chapter of Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint.

## Summary

Kim Dokja recognizes Paul among the dokkaebis pressuring Namgung Minyoung to sell her martial arts techniques, agitating both Kim Dokja and Biyoo. Kim Dokja taunts Paul until another one of the dokkaebis, Youngki, steps forward and happily greets Kim Dokja; they converse about Bihyung's state since Kim Dokja disappeared and Youngki's promotion to an intermediate dokkaebi, before returning to the topic of Kim Dokja's earlier declaration that he will sell Namgung Minyoung's techniques to the Dokkaebis. Kim Dokja says he will give the Dokkaebis Namgung Minyoung's Breaking the Sky Swordsmanship in exchange for two favors: the Dokkaebis making the technique the prize for the next scenario, the Martial Arts Competition, and for everyone present to participate in that scenario. Although initially wary, Youngki agrees to the deal, with his only condition being that the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint cannot be one of the participants in the Martial Arts Competition. Youngki happily leaves with the other dokkaebis as Kim Dokja glares at Paul, who has been staring at him.

Jang Hayoung, the Breaking the Sky Master, and Yoo Joonghyuk angrily confront Kim Dokja once the dokkaebis have left. As Yoo Joonghyuk shakes him by the neck, Kim Dokja assures Yoo Joonghyuk that the deal will benefit him; a message announcing the new sub scenario appears, and a shaken Yoo Joonghyuk releases Kim Dokja after being told by the latter that he will be able to win the Black Heavenly Demon Sword he wanted in the scenario. Namgung Minyoung is still unappeased, however, and only becomes more angry when Kim Dokja tells her that she will not be able to continue on as she is forever and should consider selling her Breaking the Sky Swordsmanship. Yoo Joonghyuk stands in front of Kim Dokja protectively and raises the Heavenly Sword of Gathering Clouds as Namgung Minyoung exerts an immense pressure on the area that causes Jang Hayoung and Han Myungoh to fall to the ground, continuing even when Yoo Joonghyuk cries out for her to stop.

Kim Dokja releases his status as a constellation to temporarily relieve the gravitational pressure, startling Namgung Minyoung. She calms down as he tells her that the Breaking the Sky Swordsmanship can be regained if Yoo Joonghyuk wins the competition, but she is doubtful of Yoo Joonghyuk's ability to do so and reluctant to accept him as a disciple when Kim Dokja suggests she teach Yoo Joonghyuk to be stronger. Kim Dokja uses the skill 'Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint' to hear her true thoughts of protectiveness over Yoo Joonghyuk, then tells her that if she accepts Yoo Joonghyuk as a disciple, he will let her meet her clan. Namgung Minyoung tells him the giants have all been wiped out, but Kim Dokja disagrees and calls on Hades. Persephone is the one to respond instead, dismaying him; she says that she has been paying attention and will fulfill his request, as long as he accepts her invitation to the Gourmet Association's constellation banquet.
