Chapter 145 – Chapter 145
“As you know, my husband and I live on Jeju Island. Before we got married, we wandered around the country visiting unclassified dungeons.”
Unclassified dungeons refer to dungeons that have not yet been cleared after the gate appears.
A gate where only a select few of the elite Awakeners are allowed to enter.
The so-called Raids are the people who enter there, subdue the boss monsters, and classify the difficulty level of the dungeon.
Na Hyun-hee, a transcendentalist from long ago, must have been a member of it.
“I know. Most of the Transcendentalists known in Korea are from raid groups.”
“Yes. I met my current husband there… Anyway, I got married and moved to Jeju Island. However, the title of Transcendentalist held me back. I understand. The fact that two Transcendentalists suddenly departed from their powers. It would be difficult for the government as well.”
“That’s right. Especially if it’s not another awakened person, but a transcendental one.”
What the hell are you talking about before marriage?
I narrowed my eyes and focused on the sound coming out of her mouth.
“So that’s how it came to be. My husband and I agreed with the government to stay there on the condition that we continue to subdue the monsters inside the A-class dungeon and overall management of the gates appearing in Jeju Island. Is it funny, right? Stronger than anyone else in Korea, You have to get permission from the government to live where you live. Well, on the other hand, compared to the general public, we are receiving tremendous benefits. Jeju Island is also the area we decided to live in, so there was nothing we couldn’t do. Although it was said to be a retirement, it was a raid It meant that I was retiring, not that I would end my life as an Awakener completely. Making Jeju Island safer is for my child who will be born later…”
“Ah yes…”
Seeing the stories of declining sex drive, is what I just said just something I just said?
I think you did well not to run at me like an animal in heat.
Looking at her body, she didn’t look like she was pregnant.
There must have been no reason to come up to Seoul while pregnant in the first place.
No matter how critical the situation is when the president is gone.
Anyway, when is the main story coming out?
Na Hyun-hee noticed when I frowned.
“I’m sorry. It’s been a long useless story.”
“It’s okay.”
“Anyway, my wife and I were living happily. Until recently.”
“Has anything happened?”
“That’s… The story I’m going to tell you from now on is a story that hasn’t been told to the government yet. Please keep it as secret as possible.”
“Yes… I’m not very close to you. Don’t worry.”
It looks like he’s just starting to get to the point.
“It was a while ago. They came to visit us.”
“Them?”
“Yes. I’m not quite sure who they are. So I’ll call them them.”
“Yes…”
It got on my nerves.
For some reason, I had a feeling that something very important to me was about to come out.
“It was when my husband and I returned home after finishing our expedition to the A-class dungeon in Jeju Island. We had definitely secured the door, but strangely the front door was left open. Could a thief have heard it? There must have been, but to commit such a bold act was more absurd than worry.”
“… Yes.”
“But it didn’t look like anything was stolen. The valuables were still there and there was no sign of them digging around to find anything. I didn’t think it was a thief.”
“…”
“Immediately I started checking the security camera footage and my husband tried to contact the police, but then they showed up, just like people watching and waiting for my wife and I to get home.”
“What did they say?”
“He said he needed our help. It was common to be asked for something like that, so he would normally have done it, but how could he say anything nice about people who might have trespassed? Of course they were very angry. But it was strange. They seemed like, of course, I was calm as if I was doing it, even though the two Transcendentalists were getting angry right in front of me.”
“Are they, by any chance, transcendentalists?”
“…!? How did you know?”
“Because only the transcendentalists are not afraid of transcendentalists.”
“Ah… I see. But Transcendentalists aren’t that common…”
“That’s right. You mean they were transcendents anyway?”
“That’s right. There were a total of three, but they all seemed to be transcendental. Of course, only one was directly confirmed and it was their claim, but…”
Obvious.
They must be
Had they already approached them before finding me?
“You said three people? Did any of them have their faces covered? Bandages or masks or something.”
“No… What is it? No way… Do you know them?”
She shook her head, making eye contact with her.
“No.”
“But how…”
“I’ll tell you once I’ve heard your story. What are they asking for?”
“…Okay. I’ll talk to you first. Instead, you must tell me what you know.”
Na Hyun-hee, who used to speak casually with a moderate amount of casual language, is now clearly speaking with respect.
She seems to have realized who has regrets in the current situation.
Instead of answering her, she nodded her head lightly and continued with her words.
“What they asked of us was…”
Oh, that’s terrifying.
What the hell are you doing?
I’m just staring at her lips with an annoyed expression.
I feel like I’m going to explode and die.
“What the hell are you doing?”
“That’s… Don’t get me wrong. We declined that request.”
“Okay, so tell me. Did you ask for the kidnapping of the president?”
“It’s not like that… I want you to kill me…”
“Yes!?”
What kind of absurd thing is this…
“Because of that, I thought I should meet you once. Do you know about them? Looking at the reaction earlier…”
“…Why do you think so?”
“The person they want to kill is Kang Jeong-hyeok. That’s you.”
“Me!?”
“Of course, I didn’t tell you to kill only you. Park Yu-ri also…”
“Park Yu-ri, too?”
Na Hyun-hee looked at me with a cautious expression and nodded her head.
They ordered me to kill… How the hell am I supposed to take this?
One side conciliates me and plans to kidnap me, and the other side brings in transcendentalists and attempts to assassinate Park Yu-ri?
What the hell is that bastard thinking about? Only his head is getting more complicated.
“When exactly was that? When was the day they showed up?”
The date I heard from Na Hyun-hee was the day before we entered the dungeon.
In other words, it was the day when the guys I defeated in the dungeon knew we were coming and entered in advance.
At the same time, that happened to Na Hyun-hee and his wife in Jeju Island, and the president was kidnapped the next day.
What the hell is he up to…
“Now tell me too. Do you know them? How did you know they were Transcendental?”
“Hmm… Actually, there were people who tried to kill me. And that’s all a group of Transcendentalists.”
“Yes? Are you a foreigner?”
“No. They were all Korean.”
“It can’t be… The known transcendent…”
“The number of unknown transcendents must be much greater than the known ones.”
She has an expression that looks as complex as mine.
I’m not the kind of person who would be laughed at if she tried to kill me, but she suddenly thought that she might try to assassinate her during a relationship, perhaps using her magical powers to rise as an excuse.
It seems that the fast-moving cock will soon disappear.
“Is that why you came to me and asked me to increase your magical power?”
“Yes. They were quite persistent. We refused, but they didn’t give up. They said they would come back next time… On the contrary, I thought they could ask other transcendentalists to assassinate my couple. I couldn’t sleep comfortably. There was even an unprecedented situation where the president disappeared, so I had no choice but to fly to Seoul as soon as the government contacted me.”
“But my husband…”
“He had no choice but to stay. If he left the island, he would have no one to protect the people of Jeju Island in the event of an emergency. A few other high-level Awakeners also came up to Seoul with me…”
“Okay.”
“I doubted you at first too. I saw you in the warehouse a few days ago and observed you closely. Seeing that you had a lot of co-workers… Seeing that you only had a lot of women, so even though your relationships with women are complicated, it’s not like they have anything to do with you. I wondered if it wasn’t it. Maybe it’s the housewife’s intuition? Anyway, after that, I overheard that he had requested information from the government, so I thought I should meet him in person.”
“I understand why you came here.”
“Is that all?”
“Then what more…”
“There are people who want to kill you!?”
“Because it was something you knew… Anyway, you want to become stronger because of it, right?”
“That’s it…But not only that!”
“Then what else is there?”
“If they and you aren’t one, why not… Hold hands. That side…”
Now I get it
You didn’t just want to strengthen your magical power, did you want to side with me?
“Can you trust me? What do you believe?”
“Sense!
“Is that so…”
She is looking at me with a bright smile, the same bright and bold expression she had when she first met me.
Is this her own passive skill?
If you got caught here, most men couldn’t refuse and would have listened to anything, but you got the number wrong, lady.
I reached out and grabbed one of Na Hyun-hee’s cheeks and gave me a deep look.
“Did you ask her to raise her magic power? Are you prepared enough?”
“… That… Sure…”
She went out strong with the playboy concept, and her pupils shook for the first time.
I pushed her head in until my lips touched her face and whispered softly.
“You are very beautiful.”
And then, Na Hyun-hee’s mana was immediately removed.
“Kyaa-!”
A girlish… Girlish scream came out of her mouth.
