Chapter 743 – Side Story 246) the Chaser (145)
246) The Chaser(145)
After receiving a call from her father, Eun-hye and Yuri went to their parents’ house after a long time.
“Welcome, ladies.”
The butler of this family was waiting for them, as if they had already heard from the ideal world.
“It’s been a while, Commander-in-Chief.”
“Long time no see.”
Eunhye and Yuri greeted the elderly Musketeer Sung with a welcoming smile.
Musketeer Seong is Sang-gye’s long-time close friend, and he is the person Lee Sang-gye trusts the most, excluding blood. He was in charge of the family’s major affairs and was responsible for educating young bloodlines, including the children of the ideal world.
The reason Eun-hye and Yuri are so happy is because they were also trained by Musketeer Sung.
Usually, the teacher in charge of education in a family is strict, but Musketeer Seong’s personality is toxic and many people like him.
“The head of the family is waiting for you. Please come this way.”
“Yes. But, Grand Musketeer. Father, why did the head of the family call us?”
Eunhye asked as she followed Musketeer Sung inside. Then, Ms. Seong replied with a soft smile.
“Well, isn’t it because you’re sad?”
“Are you upset?”
“That’s right. Lady Grace and Lady Yuri.”
“Yes.”
“Yes?”
“No matter how much you say you are a married woman, isn’t it that you haven’t been in touch with the head of the household? Aren’t the two ladies even married?”
Flash-!
The holy musketeer’s eyes flashed as he slightly raised his glasses with the index finger of his right hand. Eunhye and Yuri started to break out in a cold sweat because their eyes were so fierce.
It is true that Ms. Seong has a finite personality, but that does not always mean finite. Shall we say strength in softness?
If he had been an infinitely gentle person, Yi Sang-gye would not have put him in the position of the family’s musketeer. He is gentle but cool, so Lee Sang-gye entrusted him with the position of musketeer.
“Ah…”
“That is…”
The two sisters were in a cold sweat and didn’t know what to do. As he said, the two of them had never contacted their father, Lee Sang-gye, while living with Steel Armor.
“I didn’t teach you two like that… But I think you should enter the reflection room after a long time today.”
“Now, wait a minute, Mr. Castle! The reflection room is too much!”
“… Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.”
At the word “Room of reflection,” Eun-hye was taken aback and appealed for her excessiveness, and the glass broke completely. Breaking out in a cold sweat, she repeatedly said that she was wrong.
“Fufufufufu! It’s a joke.”
The Holy Musketeer, who looked down at the two frightened girls with a stern expression, spoke again with a soft smile. When he lowered his glasses, his sparkling eyes returned to normal.
“Ha… Mr. Castle. Please don’t joke like that. I was really scared.”
“Oooh…”
Hearing that it was a joke, Eunhye let out a sigh of relief. And the broken glass returned to its original state and wept bitterly.
“Still, even once a week is fine, so please give the family head a call to say hello. The family head didn’t show it, but deep down he was very sad.”
“Yes I will.”
“I’m sorry, Commander-in-Chief…”
“Huh-huh. You don’t have to apologize to me. The head of the house is waiting for you, so go in quickly.”
Before they knew it, they arrived at the office of the ideal world. The Holy Musketeer knocked, and the word came back to come inside. The Holy Musketeer opened the door and let Grace and Yuri inside. He doesn’t follow
“Lee Eun-hye is meeting the head of household.”
“Lee, Yuri Lee, see the head of household.”
The two greeted Lee Sang-gye according to family manners. Then Lee Sang-gye stood up with a benevolent smile and greeted his daughters.
“Welcome. And what is the head of the family? Now, I did not call you as the head of this family, but as your father.”
“Yes?”
“Uh…”
The two sisters were embarrassed by their father’s unfamiliar appearance and looked at each other. It was very embarrassing to see my father, who was always strict and rigid, look like this. Especially in the case of Yuri, her father felt even more unfamiliar.
“I called you because I wanted to have lunch with my family after a long time.”
“… Huh? Me, lunch?”
“What are you so surprised about? I didn’t say anything strange.”
“…”
How could the idea of having a family meal be a strange word? However, because those words came from the mouth of the ideal world, Eun-hye and Yuri were so embarrassed.
“Wait for a while. The attendants will serve you a meal soon.”
“Ah, yes… True. Then… Are Baek’s mother and Dami coming too?”
“…”
Lee Sang-gye’s gentle face cracked when he mentioned Baek Eun-joo and youngest child Lee Dam. The corners of his eyes went up as if to show his discomfort.
“Don’t even mention that traitor bitch.”
“Hey, are you a traitor?”
Eunhye and Yuri were startled at the word traitor.
The two sisters here know very well that Lee Sang-gye hates Baek Eun-joo, the current mother-in-law of the Lee family. But she didn’t hate it enough to describe her as a traitor.
It would be more accurate to say indifferent.
Anyway, what the hell happened while they were gone, so that her father even describes Baek Eun-joo as her traitor?
“This morning, Eunju Baek killed Elder Young and her family’s powerful men and fled.”
“… Huh? Who… Did what?”
“Baek Eun-joo said that the traitor bitch killed Elder Young and the talented members of the family.”
For the two sisters, today was a series of truly embarrassing events.
Didn’t the father, who always showed only a cold side, suddenly show a gentle side? Baek Eun-joo, who is close to an ordinary person, killed the elder Young and the talented people of the family?
No matter how the former was said, the latter was hardly believable.
Elder Young was also well aware of grace. The younger elder, who is two years older than himself, was a person with strong psychic powers and skills in the electric field. He was also close with his brother, Yi Yun-bang, so Eun-hye was also acquainted with him.
He fought with Elder Young often, but was defeated by him each time.
It is also true that Elder Young, who has supernatural powers in the electrical system, was too bad even if he had a bad match with Grace, who has supernatural powers that enhance the body.
The body enhancer must lead the battle with hand-to-hand combat, but when physical contact occurs, he is electrocuted by electricity emitted from his body and becomes unable to move.
Baek Eun-joo killed such a strong person?
No matter how much I thought about it, it was impossible.
“Father. Is it true that Baek Ga-mo, or Baek Eun-ju, killed Elder Young?”
“Yes. That wicked bitch was hiding a dagger.”
For reference, Lee Sang-gye left out the story of how Elder Young died. Her daughters would be uncomfortable if they knew that she had sent Baek Eun-joo into exile to Goyeonggung.
“That’s why Yun Bang is in a very angry state. It’s because he was close to Elder Young.”
“I guess so. Is your older brother chasing Baek Eun-ju right now?”
“Yes. He said he would definitely kill that wicked bitch with his own hands. That’s why Bang Bang can’t come to dinner today. Let’s have a meal with Bang Bang after killing Baekga later.”
“Yes…”
Smart-!
“The head of the family. I’m coming to the small castle musketeer.”
At that time, the castle musketeer knocked outside.
“What’s going on?”
“I think you should come out for a while.”
“Hmm?”
At the words of the musketeer Seong, who somehow felt an urgency, Lee Sang-gye rose from his seat.
“I’ll see what’s going on, so you guys can rest for a while. I’ll be back soon.”
“Your father.”
“Yes…”
Lee Sang-gye left the two of them and went outside. With only the two of them left, Eun-hye and Yuri relaxed and leaned back on the sofa.
*****
“What’s up, Holy Musketeer.”
“… The head of the household.”
The face of the ideal world hardened at the sight of the Holy Musketeer calling him quietly. It was clear that a lot of bad things had happened to the Holy Musketeer, whose smile did not disappear no matter what, and had such a serious expression.
“Speak quickly. What’s going on?”
“That is…”
The musketeer looked around before answering. The various servants, maids, and talented people who received his gaze nodded and stepped away. There was no one around, but the cautious Ms. Sung lowered his voice and spoke to Lee Sang-gye.
“I think you need to go to the lab urgently.”
“Laboratory? No way… What happened to the wife?”
“That’s… You have to go first.”
“Ah, I see.”
At the word laboratory, Lee Sang-gye became contemplative. There is a hospital room for thyme.
If the problem had arisen elsewhere, there was no way the Holy Musketeers would become this serious. It is evident that it has something to do with his wife.
Lee Sang-gye hurriedly headed to his bedroom with Sung Musketeer. And he went inside through the secret passage leading to the laboratory.
“Ugh!”
As soon as he entered the underground laboratory, the ideal world frowned. The laboratory, which had been tidy until just yesterday, was in a mess. In particular, blood was spattered all over the floor.
“… No.”
Lee Sang-gye hurriedly rushed to his wife’s hospital room when he saw that the laboratory where his wife was located became a sea of blood. The Holy Musketeer followed suit.
“…!”
Yi Sang-gye’s eyes widened as if they were going to pop out after checking the inside of the hospital room. The hospital room was also full of blood, just like the laboratory. In addition to thyme, there were also corpses with their bodies torn here and there in the hospital room.
The owner of the corpse was someone known to the ideal world. It was Dr. Yu, the head of the underground laboratory here.
“Ma’am!”
However, the corpse of Dr. Yoo did not come to the eyes of the ideal world. It was because Thyme, covered in blood, was sitting on his knees next to Dr. Yu’s corpse. He hurriedly ran to Thyme.
“Get your senses! Madam!”
“… Honey?”
Thyme-hyang raised her head at the voice of Lee Sang-gye. There was also blood on her face.
“Yes. Rest assured that I am here. What the hell happened?”
“I… I don’t know… When I opened my eyes, there was this person.
“Ma’am!”
The ideal world hugged her tightly to reassure her terrified thyme.
So he didn’t see
Thyme is smiling in my arms.
Little girl-
The sight of him deliciously licking the blood on his lips.
