chapter 19
19 – Rebellion-3
“Then Ha-yeon, will you protect the children?
“Did you mean that from the beginning?”
Even though Ha-yeon spoke in an angry tone, Moon-ha just stared at Ha-yeon and smiled.
“Aren’t you worried about the kids?”
“Haa, instead, after this work, you should stay away from your brother instead?”
“Okay. It’s sad to be away from the driver, but the time alone with the driver without you is priceless.”
Fortunately, it seems that an amicable agreement has been reached. I must have been thinking of doing things like this ever since the kids said they were going out to buy clothes.
I feel relieved if Ha-yeon protects the children. No matter what happens, I won’t die.
Judging by the fact that the robe is pressed down deeply, it seems that the children are trying to follow him without their knowledge. The kids don’t know that the identity of the robe that is still active in the arena is Hayeon.
“Don’t forget the terms of the contract, because if you do something strange, I’ll kill you.”
I slammed the door shut and left.
“So, when are you coming in?”
“It will take about an hour. I don’t want to destroy the building for nothing, so I’ll go down when the time is right.”
“yes.”
I tensed my body a bit. It’s been a while since I’ve been fighting properly.
“Puha, there’s no need to be so nervous. They’re not that strong, are they?”
“It’s a job, but you have to work hard.”
“Seriously, you are like a cat.”
Wolha stroked my hair. Although Wolha was shorter than me, her posture was not too strange because she was about the size of my eyebrows.
“Because it’s not a cat.”
Wolha’s eyes changed when she raised her hand to cut it off.
“Suck!”
It was like looking at prey. I felt an unpleasant sensation as if snakes were crawling all over my body.
Purple eyes stared at me. I couldn’t even move my body from the fear that I was going to be swallowed up at any moment.
“Ah, my cute cat. Finally, it’s just the two of us left.”
The hand that was stroking her hair came down little by little. The movement of the hand stopped only when it passed the ear, brushed the cheek, and came down to the neck.
“If I give it my strength like this, I’ll probably die soon, right?”
The hand holding the neck was strong. I was out of breath. It was so much power that I couldn’t even breathe.
“Cheuk!!”
“Don’t worry. I won’t kill you. I just want to feel how weak my pet is. I just want to see him listen to me because he’s scared and doesn’t want to get sick at the slightest gesture from me. That’s all.”
Consciousness clouded. My mind was dizzy, as if I would faint at any moment.
“Ah, you can’t knock it out.”
The power that was holding me down was released.
“I have no intention of doing anything to the driver right now. I have a promise with Ha-yeon, and I also want to see the driver for as long as possible before it breaks too much.”
Wol-ha hugged me, who was completely frozen.
“Instead, please live with the knowledge that knights are weak beings who can be destroyed as much as we want and die at any time. That alone makes me happy.”
As befits a ruler of the underworld, his personality is firmly twisted.
The problem is that I don’t have the power to refuse.
Could this be a cure? Ha-yeon’s obsession with me is a disease caused by the love she didn’t receive in childhood, but what about Wol-ha’s personality? is it heaven? Or is it a personality acquired innately while living as a ruler of the underworld? Can an acquired personality be cured?
“There is no way out. Driver. You just have to wait for the day the driver will be destroyed.”
Those words full of madness and obsession gave me strength.
Who do you think will make your move? You are the one who is broken.
“Knight?”
“Break it if you can. Instead, break it before you can fix it?”
I was no longer afraid of the moon. It’s probably because he’s no longer staring at me with eyes full of momentum.
“Puhahahahaha, that’s interesting. Do you believe Ha-yeon? If Ha-yeon is by your side, do you think I won’t be able to destroy the driver? You won’t tell Ha-yeon what I did anyway.”
“Shouldn’t we go down soon? You said you didn’t want to destroy the building?”
I was forced to turn around. Wallha looked at me with a cute expression. To be more precise, he looked at me with an expression that I was losing.
“There’s still time, but it’s down. My men will already be waiting.”
Following Wolha to the first floor, I saw Geohan, who had been beaten by Hayeon, and a woman who managed to apologize yesterday. Wolha himself was an A-class Awakener, so he didn’t look nervous, but looking at the faces of the two, it was obvious that he was quite nervous.
“Don’t be too nervous, you’re afraid of having an A-Class Awoken next to you. You guys just told me to wait here just in case.”
I could feel the tension between the two of them loosen up at her confident and arrogant tone.
“Hey brother.”
A giant approached me. When I saw Wolha calling me knight, I called him hyungnim, but when I told someone older than me that I didn’t want to be called hyungnim, to my surprise, that face looked younger than Wolha. What kind of life have you been living? Looking at the face value, it’s not strange even if you’re in your 30s.
“Come join me once the work is over. I wonder how strong the man called the ruler of the arena will be.”
“Why don’t you win the robe first?”
“Rob?
Well, since I was comfortable walking around here, it wouldn’t be strange to say that rumors had already spread.
“Then I’ll change my words, win Ha-yeon first.”
“Don’t take it off like that, let’s stick it together just once?”
“Did you loosen the conditions a bit and say Mr. Yeji? Did you win first with the captain of the Wolha bodyguard?”
“It’s worth it if you have wisdom. Don’t take it out after winning, big brother.”
But where is Mr. Yeji? No matter how much subordinates are deployed throughout the dark district, shouldn’t the person called the captain of the bodyguard be next to Wolha?
“By the way, where is Yeji-san? No matter how strong Wolha is, isn’t he supposed to be near Wolha if he’s the captain of the bodyguard?”
“I was told to protect the children, but Ha-yeon was in charge of protecting the children. I placed them elsewhere.”
I didn’t see him giving orders. Apparently, there seems to be a separate command system that I don’t know about.
“But is it okay to just sit there blankly on the first floor like this? Do you know how they’ll attack you?”
“No matter how they attack, what they’re aiming for is my life anyway, right? In the end, they’ll come here.”
“Are they going to come here? I’m sure they know that Class A Awakeners are of a different rank.”
“I will come. Actually, I handed over to them magic bullets that work for Class B Awakeners.”
Isn’t that rather dangerous?
“It’s not dangerous. It’s specially designed so that I can neutralize it with my authority, and since I’m an A-class Awakener, it won’t do much damage to me. If I get hit, I’ll end up scratching it.”
“Possession itself is illegal in the first place.”
“It’s not me who writes it, it’s the guys who write it, right?”
Shameless. Perhaps the process of breaking through their suspicions, passing the magic bullets, and instigating the rebellion was much more complicated than I thought.
As an ordinary citizen, I can’t imagine it.
“The plan is perfect. Even without the driver, it was perfect, but now that the driver has joined, there probably won’t be any variables.”
`Well? Wouldn’t my existence itself be a variable? I’m not an Awakener, so I get hurt even if I’m hit by a neutralized magic bullet.’
I didn’t have to say it orally. I didn’t think they were going to use that precious magic bullet on me, and even if they did shoot at me, there was a way.
-Kill!!
A loud noise came from outside. It seems that the time to work has come. As I was holding the dagger out, I could see the faces of the enemies I checked yesterday.
There were definitely all 15 people confirmed yesterday that they were the bosses of organizations that use strength in the underworld. Also, dozens of what appeared to be their subordinates stood in front of them.
“Oh, are you here?”
Wolha’s voice, as if he knew that they were coming, might have hinted at the possibility of a trap, but he wouldn’t be able to back down.
“Then please die now.”
The power under the moon, neutralization, was applied to all enemies. The vigor of the Awakeners, which had been felt vividly, faded in front of her power.
“Is this the queen’s power?”
It was a face that was not on the list I checked yesterday. I felt an unusual momentum from the guy who I thought was moderately high just because he was near the bosses.
If you see him looking so fine in the power of the moon, he must be an A-class Awakener.
The emotion of bewilderment was imprinted on Wolha’s face.
