Chapter 1573 – 1573. Saint Unicorn
I killed Pyron.
This time, it could only be seen as luck.
Was this Pyron’s name Krav? He was careless. He looked down on humans. Thanks to that, we were able to kill a being that even S-Class hunters rarely encounter.
We were lucky in many ways. Nana, she and I, we didn’t think we had a high chance of killing him. We fought Pyron with the thought of running away if things got too hairy.
“Sis, what’s that white flame? He couldn’t even come to his senses.”
“You mean White Fire? It’s one of the most famous abilities in our family. With White Fire alone, we can gain an advantage against monsters, not just humans. The reason the Bukbaek Son family is called a family of exorcists is because of White Fire.”
“I’m glad it worked on Pyron.”
“Tell me about it. If White Fire hadn’t worked, we would have been in trouble. And you blocked Pyron’s avatar. Thanks to that, we gained a lot. Like the experience of fighting Pyron.”
Pyron wasn’t a name for an individual. It was a race, like orcs or goblins. It was impossible to guess how many Pyrons there were in this vast land of China.
“But how did you know?”
“Know what?”
“That Pyron wasn’t dead. You found and killed the clone. If you hadn’t said anything, I might never have known.”
“It’s a hunch. And I’ve read similar situations in comics and novels a few times.”
“You read comics and novels often? That’s unexpected. You don’t seem like the type to read books.”
“I tend to do cultural activities whenever I have free time.”
In the past, it was just a way to kill time, but now, thanks to the Leisure Life app, I try to consume a lot of creative works.
After a brief conversation, we picked up our smartphones. We had turned them off as soon as we arrived here, so the batteries were full.
‘Even if the battery was drained, I could charge it using lightning. It requires fine control, though.’
Anyway, we could use our smartphones now that the Pyron that was interfering with the signals was dead. As soon as I turned on my smartphone, I flinched. Messages from Han Harin and other women were pouring in. The call history was also impressive. Especially Han Harin’s calls. She had been calling two or three times an hour.
‘Hah, the popularity of this body.’
I glanced to the side. Son Gaeun was looking at her smartphone with a serious expression. She opened her mouth as if she was aware of my gaze.
“Sorry, Yujin. I’ll just make a quick call. It seems like there was a problem in the family while I was gone.”
“Take your time.”
Son Gaeun left for a moment. I also called Han Harin, who had contacted me the most. Han Harin answered as soon as the signal rang once.
-Where are you?
“China.”
-What?
“Something happened. Something huge.”
I briefly explained what had happened until today. I could hear a sigh that seemed to be filled with anger from the smartphone. I flinched without realizing it.
-When are you coming back to Korea?
“It’ll take a few days. I have things to do.”
-Is it dangerous? Do you need help?
“No, it’s not dangerous. I can promise you that.”
It was about dealing with the Yellow River Gate. Since I decided to borrow the power of the Overlord’s Gate, there was nothing dangerous. Compared to fighting Pyron, it would be ten times easier.
-Okay then.
Click.
Han Harin hung up. Judging from her voice and attitude, she was clearly angry.
‘Should I buy her a gift to make her feel better?’
I also contacted the Overlord’s Gate. Since I had suddenly disappeared, the original plan must have been messed up.
‘I’ll share information about Pyron with the Overlord’s Gate. I have to take a loss to maintain a smooth relationship with the Overlord’s Gate. It was an accident, but it was our side that messed up the plan.’
I talked to Ryu Cheongseol, the successor of the Overlord’s Gate. She couldn’t hide her bewilderment at my words that Pyron and the Chinese government were involved.
The goal was achieved. The Overlord’s Gate decided to help me.
I contacted my women here and there and waited for Son Gaeun. Son Gaeun’s call was quite long.
‘Most of it must be work-related calls. Son Gaeun is the acting head of the Bukbaek Son family.’
Son Gaeun was busy. It was just my guess, but something must have happened to the current head of the Bukbaek Son family.
‘If she was in a normal state in the first place, there wouldn’t be a position like acting head.’
After some time, she finished her call and came out.
“There’s nothing big going on in Korea, right?”
“No, that’s not it. Korea is fine. However, the family seems a bit flustered because I disappeared. And…”
She hesitated, looking at me, then lowered her head.
“I’m sorry. I missed the Five Sad Guild. I had a watcher on them, but… I suddenly disappeared, so they must have mobilized the watchers to find me. In that gap, I missed a few members of the Five Sad.”
“…Is No Jisu among the ones you missed?”
Son Gaeun nodded.
I quietly clicked my tongue. No Jisu. I didn’t know what her personality was like, but she was quite pretty. I tried to take her through blackmail, but No Jisu disappeared. She went into hiding on purpose.
‘There’s a high chance she fled abroad.’
The Bukbaek Son family, using the Korean Hunter Association, put a bounty of 1 billion won on No Jisu. It seemed like they were a bit pissed off because Son Gaeun’s disappearance was related.
‘It’s a shame, but there’s nothing I can do.’
We couldn’t stay in this forest, so we moved. We planned to take a car or plane from a nearby city and join the Overlord’s Gate. Fortunately, the distance to the city wasn’t too far.
“Sis, is it true that Pyron is cooperating with the Chinese government? The people he was eating… weren’t they civilians provided by the Chinese government?”
“It could be, or it might not be. Personally, I think there’s a high possibility. China isn’t in a position to be picky right now.”
Due to the recent dungeon break incident, the Chinese system, which seemed like it would last forever, was shaking. Even when it was fine, China had a lot of shady things going on. Just because the system was shaking didn’t mean it would become clean through self-purification. Rather, it would become even dirtier. They would gladly shake hands with the devil for their own power.
We took a plane from the city and went to the place we had agreed to meet with the Overlord’s Gate.
We met Ryu Cheongseol, the successor of the Overlord’s Gate and the daughter of the S-Class hunter of China, the Heavenly Overlord, and Ryu Cheongseol’s youngest sister, Ryu Jayoung.
Ryu Cheongseol had grown up. Perhaps because she resembled her father, she was 1.9 meters tall. Her breasts were also big, and her hips were big. She greeted me with a quiet smile, and she was mature.
I also met Ryu Cheongseol’s younger sister, Ryu Jayoung. She was tall for a woman and had a voluptuous figure, but she wasn’t as big as her older sister, Ryu Cheongseol. Unlike Ryu Cheongseol, who had long straight hair, she had her hair tied up.
Unlike her sister, who was smiling brightly, she had a stiff expression.
Old memories came to mind. Ryu Cheongseol at least came to Korea regularly to see me, but Ryu Jayoung had never come to Korea. It had been a long time since I had met Ryu Jayoung.
“It’s been a while. I heard you had a hard time? Did you really have a hard time?”
Ryu Cheongseol greeted me with a smile. She then greeted Son Gaeun. It seemed like she already knew about the Bukbaek Son family. Son Gaeun also greeted Ryu Cheongseol with a smile. It was unexpected. I thought she would hate Chinese people unconditionally, but it seemed like that wasn’t the case.
“Seong Yujin. It’s been a while. You’ve gotten stronger while I haven’t seen you.”
Ryu Jayoung greeted me in a stiff tone. Ryu Jayoung had also gotten stronger while I hadn’t seen her. But she wasn’t as strong as me. She was at most a B-Class. Even that was impressive enough for someone of Ryu Jayoung’s age.
‘It’s just that I’ve become abnormally strong.’
It wasn’t talent, but the power of the Leisure Life app.
I stared intently at Ryu Jayoung’s lower abdomen. Ryu Jayoung flinched. She pressed her thighs together as if she needed to pee.
Come to think of it, Ryu Jayoung had once had urinary incontinence because of acupressure points. I remember fixing it, so she was fine now.
When I smiled as I recalled the past, Ryu Jayoung’s face hardened.
“Why are you smiling?”
“I was just wondering if your body was okay.”
I looked around. Son Gaeun and Ryu Cheongseol were busy talking to each other. I moved closer to Ryu Jayoung. Ryu Jayoung tensed up. I reached out my hand to her lower abdomen. Her lower abdomen was slightly protruding. It wasn’t fat, but because of her uterus. I stroked her lower abdomen.
“Ugh, you crazy bastard! What are you doing right now?!”
Despite her nagging, she didn’t push me away.
“It’s just normal skinship. Skinship. How have you been? No problems, right?”
“…Problems?”
“Urinary incontinence. Have you had any accidents since then?”
“No, so don’t worry about it. Take your hand off my body… ugh!”
Ryu Jayoung trembled. She glared at me with horrified eyes, then took a deep breath. I wondered what was going on, but I could hear the sound of something dripping from below.
I looked down. She was wearing a rather long skirt… and water was dripping on the floor. It was a bit too watery to be vaginal fluid.
“Could it be, urinary incontinence?”
“It’s, it’s because of you! Because you did something…! Hngh!”
Ryu Jayoung’s complexion turned pale in an instant. She shook off my hand and ran to the bathroom. I watched her back as she left with a dumbfounded look, then looked down. The traces of the liquid she had spilled were all over the floor.
‘What is it? I didn’t use acupressure points, nor did I use sexual arousal…’
I had literally just stroked her lower abdomen a little.
‘Did she really get urinary incontinence again?’
Feeling sorry, I offered a small condolence to Ryu Jayoung. And I was a little turned on.
•••
We were moving in a van. Our destination was the Yellow River Gate. Ryu Cheongseol, who was behind the wheel, opened her mouth. It wasn’t Chinese, but Korean.
Ryu Cheongseol had often come to Korea to see me, and at some point, she was speaking fluent Korean.
“I’ve investigated the Yellow River Gate. A black guild. And a black guild that’s openly active.”
Son Gaeun, who was sitting in the passenger seat, responded to Ryu Cheongseol’s words.
“What’s the reason the Chinese Hunter Association is leaving the Yellow River Gate alone without subjugating them? Surely, it’s not some absurd excuse that they didn’t notice the existence of the Yellow River Gate.”
Ryu Cheongseol smiled bitterly.
“A few high-ranking officials were involved. They hid the information about the Yellow River Gate so well… We wouldn’t have known that the Yellow River Gate was such a place if it wasn’t for Yujin’s information.”
“Is it okay? If high-ranking officials are involved…”
“It’s okay. We’ve confirmed who the involved officials are. They’re not powerful enough to mess with the Overlord’s Gate. Don’t worry about the aftermath.”
Ryu Cheongseol’s voice was filled with murderous intent.
