Chapter 710 – Apocrypha 213) the Chaser (112)
213) The Chaser(112)
“Brother… I’m scared…”
“… It’s okay. The masked man will come to save us.”
“Huh…”
“…”
The frightened brothers burst into tears. Suho, the eldest of the children, soothed his younger siblings.
‘Are the guys… All right?’
Suho was worried about the three goblin brothers who were caught without any resistance because of them.
They had stronger power than anyone else, but because they were held hostage, even when the bad guys used violence, they were beaten calmly.
‘Because of us…’
If he hadn’t been locked up with his younger siblings, Suho would have burst into tears too. The younger siblings were too young, and Suho wasn’t too old either.
Suho was only 11 years old.
‘Uncles…’
Soon after Su-ho was born, he was abandoned in an orphanage. When the sponsorship of the orphanage ceased, Suho was abandoned on the street with his younger siblings.
He should have been transferred to another orphanage, but no one took care of the children abandoned by his parents.
Having to wander the streets with his younger siblings without a place to lean on, Suho has seen a lot of really dirty things.
He begged because he needed to eat. He said that was the only thing a child could do, and that was the only thing that could make money.
But begging wasn’t easy for him either.
He was often looked down upon for begging and was often spit in the face. It was because he begged for it.
He also took away all the money he received from the existing beggars who beat him and begged. In the end, Suho had to fill his stomach with his younger siblings by rummaging through food waste instead of Angbeol.
Without dreams or hopes, the time to live just because I was alive continued.
If Suho hadn’t met Steel Armor, so he hadn’t ended up living in the house of the three goblins, this little boy would have become a monster who hates adults and the world.
When he first met the three goblins, Suho was very afraid of them. Because he was very big and had a very bad impression.
‘Wow! What is this smell! Hey! You guys, hurry up and wash up!’
‘Yes yes!’
At his first meeting, Park Jang-dae grabbed his nose and pointed to the bathroom. If he moved quickly, he would get hit, so Suho hurriedly took his younger siblings into the bathroom to wash him.
‘Wash everything… Oh fuck! You guys washed right?! Why does it still stink?!’
‘That, that’s…’
I washed up and came out, but what came back was Park Jang-dae’s screams. Suho had never used soap or shampoo in his life.
‘Oh shit! 대장 이 개새끼는 도대체 날 뭘로 보고 이런 놈들을 맡긴 거야?! Hey! You guys, follow me right away!’
Park Jang-dae took Suho and the other children and went back to the bathroom.
Honestly, until then, I thought that Suho would be hit by Park Jang-dae. The adults Suho has met so far have all been violent.
‘Come here, you squeamish bastards. I’m only going to say it once, so if you don’t do it right, I’ll kick you out right away. This is soap and this is shampoo. This is a body wash. Once the body is covered with water…’
Contrary to Suho’s expectations, however, Park Jang-dae taught him how to wash cleanly. He even washed them himself.
Rumbling-!
‘Hey. It’s very varied. Jang Joong-ah! Haven’t you eaten yet?!’
‘I’m done!’
‘Did you hear? Go and eat, you bastards!’
After washing, I fed the children until they were full. Brother Park Jang-dae, who had built a tower of rice, opened his eyes to see if the children had finished eating.
That day, Suho and the children ate a lot of warm rice for the first time.
Even after that, the three goblins bought the children clean clothes and gave them warm blankets. The next day he took the children to the hospital and bought them what they needed. He even took them to the ballpark or arcade.
It is a gift of ordinary daily life that a child of that age should enjoy.
Only then did Suho realize.
That they are different from the scary adults they’ve met so far.
Even though their mouths are rough, the eyes looking at them are extremely warm.
Realizing that fact, Suho thought.
If I had a dad, I’d feel like this.
Suho wanted to call the three goblins daddy, but he held back. He might hate it when a dirty, stinky, ignorant kid like himself calls him daddy.
‘…I should have called.’
That was what Suho regretted so much.
‘I’ll call him Dad.’
If he had known it would turn out like this, he would have called the uncles who gave them love daddy. I regretted not being able to do so, and regretted it.
Rumbling-
It was a moment when Suho shed tears and regretted it.
Quaang-!
The prison door opened. And then Park Jangdae came in.
“Suho! Guys! Is everyone safe? Are you okay?! Are there any injuries?!”
“…”
Restless, they stared blankly at Park Jang-dae, who was checking to see if they were okay.
The boy regretted it.
The one who couldn’t call me dad right away.
So he decided not to regret it this time.
“Phew… Everyone is safe…”
“Dad!”
“Uh, huh?”
“Uhhhhh! I was scared! I was so scared that I wouldn’t see my dad again! Uhhhhh!”
“…”
Park Jang-dae was so surprised to see Suho hugging him and crying.
However, he soon gave Suho a warm smile that he had never seen before and hugged Suho tightly.
“It’s okay son. Daddy is here.”
“Dad…”
Park Jang-dae continued to pat Suho on the small back until he stopped crying.
*****
“Ah, sorry. It’s been a while since the tear faucet has been opened. Tears are gushing.”
Tears welled up as I watched Park Jang-dae and the children at the tearful family reunion. Somehow, it was like seeing Rachel and me from before.
“I want to see my daughter.”
Even though Rachel and I are not connected by blood, we are connected by heart. And Park Jang-dae and the children are also a family connected by heart.
“If you want to have a family reunion, you should do it properly.”
I left Park Pole and her children and moved on.
There were two fathers who had not yet come to this place. You have to bring them along to call it a true family reunion.
I went to rescue Park Jang-dae’s two younger brothers, Park Jang-joong and Park So-so, who are still being held captive.
*****
“You guys take the kids and go home. I’ll take care of these bastards.”
“What? It can’t be. We’ll take our revenge with our own hands!”
“That’s right! If you just go, you won’t be able to sleep tonight!”
“The dogs!
When I told him to return home, the three goblin brothers who had been severely tortured shouted that they couldn’t do that. I smiled and pointed at the children.
“Then would you like to get blood on your hands in front of the kids?”
“…”
The three goblins looked at the children. Thanks to me, they were rescued, but the children were still trembling in fear.
“… I can’t help it.”
“Sir.”
“Sheesh.”
Looking back at the children, the three goblins quickly calmed down. No matter how much they wanted to avenge what was done to them, they weren’t stupid enough to do it in front of their kids.
A very scary thing will happen in the future, but I can’t show it to my children.
From now on, minors are not allowed to attend. Children in the new country, go home and watch Pororo.
“Then I’ll send you home, so everyone hold on tight. If you let go midway, you’ll end up lost in the dimension, so be careful.”
“Huh? What are you talking about…”
“Hurry up and grab my hand.”
“Uh, uh…”
When I urged them, the three goblins held the children’s hands. In fact, it’s not something like a missing dimension, but he said that on purpose because he liked seeing them together.
“Then go and rest.”
I used [Bifrost] On the three goblins and the children. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared. Bifrost sent them home.
“…”
I, who had been smiling happily until they disappeared, erased my smile as soon as they disappeared. Then I put strength on my legs and jumped up.
Bang-! Quaang-!
“My head is the head that pierces the sky!”
It broke through the ceiling and soared to the ground.
“It’s out!”
“Kill him!”
Then, the psychics of each family who were preparing for battle on the ground began to attack at once.
“There are so many of them.”
The number was very large, perhaps because the elites of the remaining five families had gathered. Also, among them, the lowest psychic power level is 8th level.
Many and strong
“Good.”
Rather good.
Because I didn’t have to go looking for them.
I used Bifrost to move into the middle of the enemies. Not knowing that I had disappeared, the psychics were shooting their psychic powers toward the sky.
“Uh?”
“Porridge… What is it?!”
He used telekinesis as the power of chaos. The psychic people around me rose to the sky. Like hot air balloons, they rose straight up into the sky.
“Stop attacking! He’s over there!”
A competent person who discovered me belatedly pointed at me. The psychic allies changed their attack direction.
I moved first before the Allies could attack. He clenched his fists and ran forward.
“Ouch!”
“Keek?!”
“Quaaaaagh!”
The psychic people screamed and collapsed in the spot where I passed. Some psychics had their necks broken, and some psychics had a huge hole pierced in their stomachs.
“You bastard! Stop Steel Armor!”
Then, a middle-aged man ran up and blocked my way.
Puck-!
“Big!”
I tried to blow my head off with a blow of his fist, but the middle-aged man surprisingly blocked my fist. Of course, he was pushed back almost 10m, but the important thing was that he blocked my fist.
“Are you okay, Head of Household?”
Middle-aged and elderly people who seemed to be the same age ran to the middle-aged man who had been pushed back. They called the man who blocked my fist a go-goo.
“Um… Aha. Are you the King of Ju?”
After checking the man’s face and clothing, I realized that he was the Great King of Zhou, the head of the Zhou family, one of the seven clans.
One of the heads of the five families gathered to capture me appeared.
