Chapter 170 – Chapter 170
Hyunhee Na.
She wouldn’t have thought of herself and made such a stupid choice.
What could she do by herself just because she took Park Yu-ri?
It would be reasonable to think that there is definitely someone behind it.
That first one.
The most likely one is, of course, him.
Transcendentalists presumed to be Nome’s subordinates came and tried to conciliate herself and her husband, and after refusing, she wanted to attract Nana and Park Yu-ri to their side, fearing her retaliation.
This is what Na Hyun-hee told me.
Unless I have seen it with my own two eyes, I am not the one who believes it right away.
Conversely, the assumption that the couple accepted the guys’ proposal and may have contacted them to kill me and Park Yu-ri as requested is already assumed.
Second possibility.
This is the case when the government is behind Na Hyun-hee.
From the government’s point of view, they would want to secure Park Yu-ri right away.
Judging from the fact that they asked me to rescue them and that they came to my house the other day, it seems that they have no intention of hiding their feelings.
It’s like having Na Hyeon-hee, a transcendental figure, next to me as a supervisor.
But why do you dare to act like this while pretending to be with me?
Could it be because of Gilgamesh’s eyeball stuck in Park Yuri’s eye?
Or is there another third force that I don’t know about?
Various thoughts run through my head in the car on the way home.
Judging from the fact that there is no sound coming through the phone, it seems that no physical battle has taken place yet.
Rather, being quiet was more uneasy, so I looked for a senior.
“Senior. Senior!”
– Yes…
“If we haven’t fought yet, can we talk to her now?”
– Well… I’ll talk to you first. The atmosphere isn’t too bad.
“And before that, keep an eye on the outside in case others come in.
After a little time had elapsed since the senior’s answer that he would know.
I hear conversations over the phone.
Na Hyun-hee, who heard that I wanted to talk, said.
– Mr. Kang Jeong-hyeok. I’m sorry, but please let me go. Otherwise, we cannot guarantee the safety of Yuri Park and the people here.
“That’s embarrassing.”
– You think I’m kidding?
“No.”
– No time for puns. I know very well that you are coming here now. That it takes dozens of minutes to arrive.
Did you overhear the phone call with your senior?
Or was it also related to the government and was told of my location?
“I’ll be honest. You can’t get out of it. Isol Kim is stronger than you. Besides, we have a mobile font on our side. She must already know about her abilities, right?”
– You seem to be looking at me too funny. You’ve seen the ability I have. Inside the gate.
“Certainly, your sword is dangerous. It has a special ability that crystallizes the blood coming out of a wound just by brushing against it. I know that it is very difficult to deal with. But you can’t beat Kim I-Sol.”
– Do you think I’m going to lose to a rookie like that?
“It’s not necessarily like that… It’s a matter of compatibility. In close combat, you’ll have an advantage, but with Kim I-Sol’s ability, her sword will pierce your body before you get close.”
– Joy. I have a hostage. I already know that you love Park Yu-ri. I don’t know what she wants from her passing out.
“You were wrong. Of course, I would be reassured if Mr. Park Yu-ri was on my side, but it doesn’t matter if she dies right now. It’s enough to tell the government that you killed her.”
I glanced at Na Hyun-hee to see if she was following the orders of the government.
As a bonus, she might be prepared to kill Park Yu-ri on the spot.
– You’re bluffing. No matter how requested, I don’t think you would risk your life for no reason or purpose. Not to mention putting your colleagues in danger… I know it well because I’ve observed you enough over the past two weeks. You definitely want Park Yu-ri.
It seems that she was also observing me, just as I was suspicious of Na Hyun-hee.
Maybe it’s not just me.
“Then let’s kill it.”
– Yes!?
“Kill Park Yu-ri right now.”
– What…
I said a little louder.
So that my voice can be heard by others.
“Kim I-Sol. Park Yuri-san has nothing to worry about. Use your powers to subdue Na Hyeon-Hee. Of course, it doesn’t matter if you kill both of them. Just make sure you and your colleagues don’t get hurt.”
– Yea, I got it.
I could hear Kim Isol’s voice from a little further away from the phone.
If it were her, she would not hesitate because of her petty sympathy in attacking Park Yu-ri or Na Hyun-hee.
She must have realized through experience that such negligence directly affects her life and the lives of her comrades.
“How about you, Na Hyeon-hee? Don’t get hurt and surrender. If you stay silent until I arrive, I will be generous with this case.”
– I’m sorry, but I can’t do that. But I don’t want to fight either. If you let me go quietly, no one will be hurt. If it’s okay to kill Park Yu-ri, isn’t it okay to just let her go?
Damn damn
Na Hyun-hee must have known that the situation was against her.
Knowing the fraudulent nature of Lee Dong-geul’s ability, he must have approached it like that in the dungeon.
No matter how confident she is of defeating Kim I-Sol, in a situation where she is attached to Lee Dong-geol and her seniors, she would not honestly think that she has a chance to win.
Still, that bold reaction…
If you don’t have a secretly hidden super power, there must be some guys who work together.
That would be 100% transcendent.
Are you saying that there were 24-hour surveillance near the house?
No
The fact that he doesn’t show up right away means that he may be joining later after being contacted.
I didn’t specifically confiscate Na Hyun-hee’s phone, and I didn’t inspect her belongings to see if there were other communication devices.
There is a high probability that he called and called as soon as I left home.
In other words, my judgment of trying to delay the time until I arrived home through conversation may have been what that bitch wanted.
Na Hyun-hee would also have wanted to buy time.
I hurriedly cut off the transmission sound of my smartphone and shouted at Hong Eun-young.
How long will it take in the future?
“Well… It’s the time when traffic is in the middle of the day… No matter how fast it takes 20 minutes more.”
“Step on it more. To the extent that it doesn’t hit people. Even if the car is destroyed, I’ll compensate for it.”
It is already approaching 10pm.
I don’t know what kind of guys they are, but if I had rushed to get a call from Na Hyun-hee and left, it would have taken quite a while to arrive.
There’s no way these two transcendentalists had been waiting all day for a call from Na Hyun-hee.
It would be even more so if you bring equipment including a mana-coated suit.
However, the fact that Na Hyun-hee initiated her actions must mean that they were confident that they would be one step ahead no matter how quickly I returned.
Colleagues are dangerous
You have to prepare.
At least until I arrive, no one gets hurt… No, no one gets killed.
If that’s not the case, I’d rather let them run away.
What should I do?
Just because they are dealing with Na Hyun-hee, there’s no way they’re obedient and only take Park Yu-ri.
It is a self-evident fact that they will arrive within minutes.
Whoa…
I turned on the transmission sound I had turned off and asked Na Hyun-hee.
This will be my final question to her.
“Na Hyun-hee. This is the last question.”
– What is it?
“Is the government behind you? Or are they the ones who commissioned you to assassinate me and Yuri Park?”
What is the reason you want to take Park Yu-ri?
Do you know the guy he is?
There was a mountain of questions to ask, but there was no way to get a proper answer.
So the question that came up was this.
I didn’t expect her to tell me the truth, but I was very curious to know what she would say.
Even if you tell the truth, I won’t believe it.
– Um… What should I do? I told you not to answer… If you’re curious, would you like to make a deal with me?
“…”
One thing I can tell from her answer.
That means that bitch is clearly dragging its time now.
I didn’t respond and spoke to Kim Isol in a calm voice.
“Lee Sol. Listen carefully. A situation like a rock golem dungeon is happening right now. The only thing I can trust is you. I don’t care if Park Yu-ri is alive or dead.”
– What. Do you want to make a deal? Mr. Kang Jeong-hyeok said he would answer my questions.
Ignoring Na Hyun-hee who intervened in the middle, I continued talking.
“First of all, kill Na Hyeon-hee right now. There is a high probability that the other transcendents will attack the house within a few minutes. Please protect everyone until I arrive. And senpai! Give it to me again… Prisoners, run away on your own.
The phone is disconnected.
The battle must have begun.
My heart started beating like crazy.
Paang-!
Hong Eun-young is already ignoring her signal and running.
I hear the car horn over and over again.
The expression of Chae-eun, who is quietly silent next to her, is also not bright.
“Don’t worry. Their first target will be Park Yu-ri, so if she hides well, she won’t bother to find and kill her. She’ll want to avoid running into me after a while.”
Na Hyun-hee has been with me for the past two weeks, and she must be looming about my skills.
You probably know that you can’t deal with three or four transcendents attacking at the same time.
So you must have been aiming for this timing.
Who is it?
The force that moves Na Hyun-hee.
The beating heart beats so fast that it seldom calms down.
I squeezed and opened the handle of the long sword I had rented just in case, and watched the fast-passing street lights.
This is all I can do now
I called people other than my senior, but no one answered.
Images of various scenarios pass by in my head.
I’m still assuming
No one was killed or injured.
Obviously, I had expected this situation for a long time.
Just a little bit faster
Kim I-sol and Lee Dong-geul… And let’s trust our seniors.
They too are full-fledged Awakeners.
It’s just that I can’t just protect it forever.
In particular, if you want to deal with someone who has higher authority than me, you have to endure this much without me.
If that doesn’t work, isn’t it worthwhile to raise the synchronization rate and increase the magic attribute?
Don’t die
If you don’t die, you can use the absolute realm.
“We’re all here. Just turn around that alley…”
“Establish it now!”
I’m going to go to the middle of the day!
I kicked the door open before the car even stopped and ran out.
Hundreds of meters to the house.
It’s faster to run directly from here.
I arrived in front of My Home, which I bought for billions of dollars, at the speed of light without even breathing.
From the outside, nothing has changed about the building.
Only the front door is open.
I checked several cars tinted black in front of the house and bit them hard.
These bastards are still in the house.
See if I miss one.
I didn’t even look back and tried to enter the house.
Unknowingly, I took a step back.
I felt like I felt something ominous.
And fleeting moments.
Jiing… Pajik… Pajijik-!
Kwajangchangchang-!
At first, the surrounding street lights suddenly disappeared, complete darkness came, and then a huge electric current spurted out in all directions.
At the same time, all the windows of the house were destroyed and lightning flashed.
The source is my home.
I had to endure the current right in front of me.
More than 30% of the recovered energy evaporated.
More than anything else, it seems like I’m going to go blind because of the light generated by the momentary current.
“What the fuck… You crazy bitch…”
I immediately realized who had done this.
Are you really hostile?
Or is it an ally
Whatever the case, if any of my teammates ever died, I would never forgive her.
I quietly stepped on the shards of glass on the floor and walked slowly into the house.
