chapter 56
Episode 56 It’s My Shame (4)
“… No… Who are you really and are you doing this here… ? Let’s at least say it in full name.”
Kang Seo-jun shook his head at Park Seo-yoon’s words.
“It doesn’t matter who I am.”
-No!
-Crash!
Kang Seo-jun, who was squatting, woke up and groaned.
A sound like an old tree falling rang from his knees.
Kang Seo-jun took a couple of steps away from her and then spoke to her again.
“What matters is your choice.”
Seojun Kang pointed to the torn pieces of paper.
It was information about the ‘Red Cross Society’ and ‘Park Shin-hoo’s location’ given by Kang Seo-jun a little while ago.
“Those pieces. They weren’t burned, so if you collect them, you’ll be able to recognize them.”
Park Seo-yoon looked at the piece of paper and at Kang Seo-jun alternately, and only his eyes and mouth opened.
It was an expression that needed a little more explanation.
Who are you, why are you giving us this information, and what are your intentions?
However, Kang Seo-jun did not explain further.
No, I couldn’t explain it.
His identity as the academy’s weakest cadet.
His own purpose was to create a rift between the Taesan Group and the Red Cross Society and take advantage of the fishermen’s fortune.
The moment that is revealed, Kang Seo-jun will have to bear the brunt of two huge forces.
That’s why Kang Seo-jun chose to run away at this point.
“Hmm.”
Kang Seo-jun checked the time with the eyes of providence.
The time passed just past midnight.
──────《Item》──────
▶Dimension Store Table Teleport Scroll
– This item can only be used once a day, and its availability is reset every midnight.
─────────────────
Now that the teleport cooldown had been reset, it was time to leave.
“Once again, if you ignore my information, your brother will die.”
Before leaving, Kang Seo-jun left a final message and turned his back.
“Now, wait… !”
When the man showed signs of leaving, Park Seo-yoon quickly stood up and stretched out his hand.
-Flash!
“Ugh!”
However, the man disappeared as if evaporating in a flash of light.
-Hwiiing…
-Flutter…
All that remains where the man disappears is a gentle breeze, dust, and fluttering papers.
Park Seo-yoon looked at that in vain and then gritted her teeth.
-Plap!
“What the fuck!”
He appears out of nowhere, knocks you out, gives you information, and then leaves without any explanation?
Even if you are a top-notch person working at the top of the tower, is it okay for you to be this way?
I am also the guild leader of a large and influential company in Korea!
They’re treating it like some kind of street street trouble!
-Cough!
“Ugh…”
When I got angry, my neck where I got hit started to hurt.
It was only then that torn pieces of paper came into Park Seo-yoon’s eyes.
“Fuck… ! When will we get it all together?”
Park Seo-yoon hurriedly began to collect the pieces of paper she had torn into pieces one by one.
The information the man gave is still suspicious, but it is the only clue for now.
Since it was revealed that he was a light attribute holder, no different from the demons’ archenemy, it was worth investigating.
However…
‘Who on earth are you really? If he was that skilled, he would definitely be in the database… The voice was clearly male. It was quite large. Other features…”
Then, Park Seo-yoon’s hand suddenly stopped.
“Skin…”
A glimpse of skin beneath his white mask
Skin full of reddish herpes and dark scars here and there.
At that moment, there was a man who flashed through Park Seo-yoon’s mind.
“Kang Seo-jun…”
A man who had a fight with his younger brother, Park Shin-hoo, during his academy entrance exam.
Park Seo-yoon furrowed his brows and blinked his eyes quickly.
Then he shook his head.
‘No… No way. The size was different and the voice was different. Kang Seo-jun’s skin condition was even worse.’
But…
The image of Kang Seo-jun was not easily erased from Park Seo-yoon’s mind.
The more I think about it, the more the atmosphere strangely overlaps.
Especially…
‘The feeling of your hand when you hit me…’
The attack that ridiculously pierces one’s own self-defense skills.
It was very similar to the feeling I had from Kang Seo-jun before.
Is this really just a coincidence?
-Doridori!
‘No! No!’
Park Seo-yoon shook his head vigorously and shook off his distracting thoughts.
Now it is an emergency situation where his younger brother has been kidnapped by demons.
I don’t have time to get lost in these idle thoughts.
As for the man and Kang Seo-jun, it is not too late to investigate after resolving the situation.
“Quickly. Quickly…! I tore it into small pieces! Fuck!”
Park Seo-yoon regretted tearing up her paper in her anger and hurriedly put the pieces together.
However, in the meantime, the image of Kang Seo-jun constantly lingered in Park Seo-yoon’s mind.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
As soon as Park Seo-yoon gathered up all the torn pieces of paper, she immediately began investigating.
The address written on the paper is a cathedral located on the outskirts of Stellaport.
Park Seo-yoon sent someone there to find out the whereabouts of the demon, and also confirmed that there was a large amount of demon energy in the basement of the building.
“There was a real mine.”
Now that the location of the demons was known, what to do next was obvious.
Invading their hideout, slaughtering the demons and rescuing Park Shin-hoo.
However, I am still not sure that this is not a trap.
“Seup…”
This operation was a major operation in which 80% of the Taesan Group’s hunters participated.
If we led them into a trap, the damage the Taesan Group would suffer would be indescribable, so we had to be very careful.
What concerns me is the large amount of magic energy detected in the basement of the cathedral.
Because there is no guarantee that it is not a bomb.
“Ha… Mr…”
-Tick! Tick!
Even while I’m thinking like that, time continues to pass.
It’s already early morning.
After the vigil, the morning sun was coming up.
Park Seo-yoon bit her nails out of nervousness.
The information the man gave is the only clue for now.
It is something that cannot be ignored.
But that doesn’t mean we can’t let 80% of Taesan Group’s hunters into a place where we don’t know if it’s a trap or not.
“It sucks, really…” ” .”
It was then that Park Seo-yoon sighed and took out a cigar from the shelf.
-Quaang!
Someone opened the office door and came in with the intention of breaking it down.
“Hey, guild leader! Big trouble!”
“What, what! Fuck!”
Park Seo-yoon was surprised and dropped the cigar on the floor and frowned.
“What is it all of a sudden?”
It’s already a pain in the ass, so why won’t these guys leave them alone even for a moment?
“The meeting, the chairman…”
“Chairman? Dad? Dad what?”
“No! That honorary society…”
“What? You’re not telling me straight? What the fuck?”
-Thump thump thump!
At that time, the sound of loud footsteps got closer and closer, accompanied by a vibration that shook the entire office.
Park Seo-yoon stood up from the chair and shouted.
“Um, what is that!?”
“The Honorary Chairman is coming!”
“Huh?”
-Quaaang!
“aaah!!!”
At the same time as Park Seo-yoon asked a question, someone broke down the office door and entered.
Naturally, the employee standing in front of the door was blown away and fell to the floor.
-Patter…
Rising dust. Concrete powder pouring.
Park Seo-yoon frowned and glared at the door.
“Fuck, fuck! What! Huh?”
Then, I was pleased to see the face of the person who came in.
“Grandpa!?”
A large old man suddenly entered the office.
Bronze skin, white lion-like head and beard.
Burning golden eyes.
The honorary chairman of the Taesan Group and an S+ level hunter with the nickname ‘Sangun’.
It was Park Tae-ho.
“Seo-yoon ahhh!!!”
Taeho Park roared with tremendous volume.
-Rumbling!
“aaah!”
“Ugh…”
With a roar, dust from the area instantly flew out of the window.
“Ha, Grandpa?! Why are you here!?”
Park Seo-yoon looked at Park Tae-ho with surprised eyes.
Currently, the strongest forces of Taishan Group are all at the top of the tower.
This was because they were about to embark on an important strategy of collaborating with several major powers.
Of course, Taesan Park, the number one figure in the Taesan Group, should also be at the top of the tower.
“I came down immediately after hearing about Shinhu!”
“Top! What about the top?!”
“With your mother and father, there will be no problem for about a week. More than that!”
Taeho Park grabbed the collar of the employee who was lying on the floor and lifted him up.
“Who kidnapped my beautiful grandson!!! Tell me!!!!”
-Taltaltaltal!
“Uh oh oh…!!”
When Park Tae-ho shook the employee like he was catching a rat, the employee made a sound like he was out of breath.
“Grandpa! Stop it! He doesn’t know anything!”
Before the employee fainted, Park Seo-yoon quickly stopped his grandfather.
“You’ve come to a better place than that! Please help us right away!”
Park Seo-yoon thought she was lucky.
If Grandpa goes with me, then that kind of trap is a big deal.
A grandfather is a strong man who can somehow survive even if he falls into a dragon’s stomach.
With him, no matter what trap the demons had laid, they would be able to break through.
“I know where the guys who kidnapped Shinhu are!”
At those words, Taeho Park looked at his granddaughter with proud eyes.
“As expected, my granddaughter is capable! I’ve been thinking about it for at least three days!”
Park Seo-yoon laughed bitterly.
“…I was lucky.”
Park Seo-yoon did not necessarily say that she received information from a mysterious man.
If I told him in detail what happened with him, my grandfather would definitely try to kill that man too.
For now, I wanted to focus on just one problem.
“Anything is fine. There is nothing to put off.”
Taeho Park tightened the strap of the great shield he wore in his left hand.
He was already fully armed when he arrived.
There was dried blood all over his face and armor, as if he had rushed straight away after the battle in the tower without washing.
If someone else saw her, her behavior would have been frightening, but to her granddaughter Park Seo-yoon, it couldn’t have seemed that reassuring.
“Just tell me the place.”
Taeho Park’s golden eyes glowed with refined anger.
“We’ll take a spin first, so bring the kids and come slowly.”
“Yes! Grandfather!”
As long as Park Tae-ho stepped forward, the fate of the demons was almost decided.
Corpses will pile up like a mountain.
And that corpse will become Kang Seo-jun’s dimensional currency.
Everything went according to Kang Seo-jun’s plan.
