Chapter 286 – {IF Abduction: There Are Realities That Do Not Change.}
{IF Gaiden: There is a reality that does not change.}
At Seomunhyeon’s outburst, Seomun Kanghyeok’s eyes turned to him. Seo Mun-hyeon’s face was filled with anticipation that he might listen to her.
However, everyone in this room except for Seo Mun-hyeon knew that what he wanted would not happen.
‘Who believes that?’
‘It’s not even an heir anymore.’
‘Damn it, I got on the wrong line!’
‘What can I do? If I knew this was going to happen, I wouldn’t have ignored it like that!’
‘Ugh, he won’t be able to kill us, but he’ll be able to succeed only if his eyes are stamped on him…’ .’
The warriors of the Seomun family were nervous and fearful that I had been officially recognized as the successor by Seomun Kanghyeok. But none of them had even guessed what punishment I would bring.
‘I guess so.’
Soon, the punishment they will suffer will be the kind of punishment they never imagined in their life.
“Seo Moon-hyun.”
Seomun Ganghyeok called Seomunhyeon in a cold voice. Considering the characteristics of Seomun Kang-hyeok, who originally had no affection even for his own children and only had affection for the Seomun family, it was not surprising that he called his son so coldly.
However, he is regarded as the successor who will shine the Seomun family, and Seomunhyeon has been receiving considerable preferential treatment.
Seomun Kang Hyuk also treated Seo Mun-hyeon, who was his successor, kindly, but it was not because his father loved his son, but it was only preferential treatment for the heir who would shine the family.
Seo Mun-hyeon, who was no longer the successor and talked nonsense, was worthless waste by his standards.
‘It’s a tool to the point of being useless and tossed in the trash.’
However, Seo Mun-hyeon seemed unable to admit that fact. No, before that, he thought that such a fact itself could not exist.
‘Seo Moon-hyeon’s thoughts are obvious.’
From Seo Mun-hyeon’s point of view, he was a great hero without any flaws, and the Seomun family he was born in had to be a family worthy of such a hero’s background. And his father, Seomoon Kang Hyuk, also had to be a great hero, even if he was not as good as himself, a hero among heroes.
And he had to support and push himself unconditionally. So far, that delusion has been well-fulfilled.
“Father.”
Seo Mun-hyeon fell into such a delusion, and even though Seo Moon Kang-hyeok coldly called him, he fell into the expectation that he would kick me out and make himself his successor again. For him, it was common sense that it had to be done for granted.
However, his delusion and reality were different.
No matter how much he fantasized about it, the unchanging reality came upon him.
“Are you making fun of the defense of the West Gate family’s mansion? A monster that transforms. That’s ridiculous.”
“Ah, father!”
Seomunhyeon was confused as if he hadn’t imagined Seomun Kanghyeok’s answer. However, when Seomun Kang-hyeok mentioned the defense of the Seomun family, he recalled that the monster’s intrusion was quickly uncovered, and after thinking about it for a while, he came up with something to rationalize.
“Yes! That’s right! It must be a monster with a special ability to neutralize even defense!”
“Is there any proof that the monster has such an ability?”
“Yes! My words are proof! Father, think about it! Xuwenquan didn’t exist! I’m the eldest son of Xuwen’s family! Everyone misunderstood that there was a Xuwenquan, you were tricked by the monster’s hypnosis!”
In the end, he was treating my existence as something that never existed. After hearing his words, Seomun Min-hye said with a tired face.
“It’s really the worst thing ever…”
Seomun Minhye seemed to have less affection for Seomunhyeon as the last remaining blood relative.
In the case of me, Seo Mun-hyeon did not have the slightest degree of respect in the first place.
‘Would you feel kinship with a maniac killer who might kill me at any moment?’
Like that, Seo Mun-hyeon was a being who never intended to accept the fact that her older brother existed. Since I was Seo Mun-hyeon’s older brother from the beginning, he would not have tolerated me under any circumstances.
“Isn’t that harsh?”
“There is a degree of coercion.”
“The current Bocchan is also true. Was it that shocking to lose the position of successor?”
The warriors of the Seomun family, ignorant of Seomun-hyeon’s delusions and rationalizations, regarded Seomun-hyeon’s reaction now as a reaction against his deprivation of his successor position.
It seemed to be a struggle not to take away the position of the successor even if it was forced.
However, in reality, it was not such a struggle, but Seo Mun-hyeon sincerely believed that because of the rationalization now.
Because Seo Moon-hyun had to do that.
“No matter how hard you try, nothing will change. You are no longer the heir.”
However, there was no reason to listen to Seomunhyeon’s insistence on Seomun Kanghyeok. In his view, the one who would bring greater benefits to the Seomun family was me, not Seomunhyeon.
“Something’s wrong with this…There must be some conspiracy.”
* * *
Something is wrong with this.
This shouldn’t happen.
While thinking so, Seomunhyeon glared at Seomuncheon.
It was all because of Seomuncheon.
He is a great hero and there was no way he had an older brother who had to stand on top of all heroes. It must be distorted information by monsters or disguised villains.
So I had to kill it and get rid of it.
Then everything will be back to normal.
He is the only heir and eldest son of the preface family, and everyone who has become strange returns to the normal world to praise himself.
“Ughhh!”
So in reality he couldn’t even wake up. No matter how much he tried to scream, all he did was scream with his limbs crushed.
* * *
Seo Mun-hyeon continued to spit nonsense, but no one listened to his nonsense.
“Don’t treat me right away. If you treat me right away, I’ll run amok, so first restrain me and then heal me slowly.”
“Yes, the head of the household!”
“Ahhh! Everyone wake up! Everyone is being fooled! I, I am the eldest son of the Preamble family!”
After Seo Moon-hyeon, who was screaming like that, left, he said to Seo Moon Kang-hyeok.
“The head of the family, then, I will have no objection to punishing those who have ignored me in the meantime, as I please, right?”
I did not call Seomun Kang-hyeok my father. Knowing full well that he never considered me as a son, I referred to him as the head of the household in a moderate give-and-take business relationship.
And Seomun Kanghyeok also thought that being called Gajunim sounds better. However, rather than paying attention to the title of head of household, he asked about the punishment I was going to do.
“What punishment are you going to do?”
If the punishment was too severe, he would have thought against it. And from now on, the punishment I will bring will never be pleasant to him.
“Brother…”
The only person who knew about the punishment I was going to bring at this place was Seomun Min-hye. And since she also knew the disrespect I had suffered, she did not object to my punishment.
Even Minhye Seomun, who has the personality to help even people she doesn’t know, is her real brother, and although she is currently her family, she is not altruistic to the ‘enemy’ to the extent of worrying about those who ignore me, the person she loves the most in the world.
“A punishment?”
“Is there a pay cut?”
They thought they would be punished at least to the extent of a pay cut. It was the confidence that if they were severely punished as soldiers, the main power of the Seomun family, there would be a big gap in the family’s power.
And if I punished them weakly, they would be arrogant.
‘Of course I knew it would be like that.’
He had no intention of punishing him for not doing so. Shouldn’t the punishment, at least, be brought down to such a level that one would not want to experience it again?
“I’m not asking permission, I’m giving notice, so I’ll show you with my own eyes.”
Preface Ganghyeok’s expression wrinkled slightly, perhaps because he felt that my words were arrogant, but he quickly relaxed his expression. As much as he loved the Seomun family more than himself, he decided to throw away his pride in consideration of the benefits of me becoming the head of the household, who had more power than himself.
“Yeah, take care of it.”
And to Seomun Kang-hyeok, the 1,000 warriors of the Seomun family were obviously an important core force, but they were not worth more than me. Because the existence of one overwhelmingly strong man was more important than the gathering of many weak people.
“Then I will punish you.”
The arrogance of the warriors of the Seomun family was evident in the fact that not a single one of them did not ignore me. But now that arrogance was to be said goodbye for the time being.
“Finished.”
And when I spoke after the punishment, all the warriors of the Ximen family expressed their doubts at first.
“What punishment did you give?”
But they soon realized that something was wrong.
“Uh huh?”
“What, what? Why are you like this?”
