Episode 81

I took out my phone and looked at my watch.

[PM 8:50]

After 10 minutes, the presentation begins.

I looked around.

The inside of the banquet hall started to fill up before I knew it.

Even the empty table was already full of people.

Well, it’s only natural that there are 10 minutes left before the announcement.

‘But aren’t they there?’

I kept checking the faces of each and every one of the people gathered here.

However, Urvashi in disguise and the woman next to him were nowhere to be found.

I can guess why he couldn’t come inside.

Probably because of the magical vow.

If you write a magic oath and go inside, they won’t be able to cause a rampage here.

‘It unfolds differently from what I originally knew.’

Originally, there was a way to subdue those who entered the banquet hall.

But now it’s different.

They didn’t come inside the banquet hall.

A bit twisted.

****

A table with a [‘Hunter Association’] Sign on it.

Jeong Ha-yeon and Jung Hae-soo were sitting there.

Jung Hae-soo looked at the table where Nam Do-yoon was.

There he was, all alone.

I didn’t seem to know anyone here.

“Hmm-“

Jeong Hae-soo looked closely at Nam Do-yoon.

He kept looking around.

As if looking for someone.

Jeong Hae-soo said with a grin.

“Hey. Jeong Ha-yeon.”

“What.”

“I think Nam Do-yoon is looking for you right now?”

“What kind of bullsh*t is that?”

“No, look over there.”

Jeong Hae-soo pointed his finger at the seat where Nam Do-yoon was sitting.

Jeong Ha-yeon also turned her gaze to that direction.

Nam Doyoon was really looking around.

As if looking for someone.

Jung Ha-yeon hurriedly looked away before her eyes met his.

“Am I right?”

Jeong Hae-soo said.

“Oh, but what can I do? What does that have to do with me?”

“Hmm-“

Jeong Hae-soo looked at Jeong Ha-yeon carefully.

“Does it really have nothing to do with you?”

“Everything..Of course. Because I’m not interested in him. Isn’t that obvious?”

“Aren’t you really interested?”

“That… That’s right. I really don’t care as much as 1.”

“Really?”

“…That…Then. Of course. I really have no interest.”

Jeong Hae-soo said with a smile.

“There is a saying that a strong negative is a strong positive.”

“…Ahh, let’s not say it’s done.”

Jeong Ha-yeon shook her head.

“Hey, Ha Yeon-ah, did you do that the other day?”

“What?”

“Nam Doyoon’s parents were killed by Mine.”

“…Uh…That..That’s right.”

Jung Ha-yeon carefully brought her words out.

“So I was a little worried, but it’s better than I thought.”

“Huh? What are you worried about?”

“If all of my parents were murdered by Mine, how can a person remain sane? It’s strange to be sane.”

“…”

From noble mtl dot com

“I thought her personality was very twisted due to the loss of her parents and her desire to get revenge on Mine.

“….”

“This brother was a little worried.”

“What are you worried about?”

“I was very worried that the boy who is interested in you, Ha-yeon, might be a bit of a perverted guy because he is very angry with revenge.”

“…”

“So, did that friend give up on revenge?”

“..No, that wouldn’t be it.”

Jeong Ha-yeon said in a small voice.

“You didn’t give up?”

Jung Hae-soo shook her head and said.

“I heard from Jiyoon that Nam Doyoon is chasing a group of demons.”

“..Then, what about that group of demons?”

“Uh. It’s probably the group that Mine who killed Nam Do-yoon’s parents belongs to.”

“Huh… “

Jeong Hae-su burst into a sigh.

Then he continued.

“Where is that group of demons?”

“I don’t know that well…”

“..Does that mean you are still burning with vengeance?”

“Uh. I guess I should.”

Jeong Hae-soo glanced at Nam Do-yoon.

There was no trace of vengeance in his eyes.

‘Did I already learn how to live wearing a mask at that age?’

I couldn’t see the eyes of a person chasing the demon who killed my parents.

He seemed like an ordinary student who grew up in a normal family.

‘That’s wise.’

If you really want revenge, paradoxically, you have to hide your desire for revenge.

There are already many demons wearing human masks infiltrating this society.

There is almost no way to tell them apart.

If he said he thought he was a normal person, then it turned out that he was a demon.

Moreover, was that demon belonging to the group that Nam Do-yoon wanted to take revenge on?

If that happens, the demon group will probably set Nam Do-yoon as the first priority to eradicate.

If that happens, it will be difficult to survive.

Then revenge is also a thing of the past.

‘That’s why he wore a mask.’

That’s why he completely hid his vengeance.

His heart must be boiling with great vengeance because his parents were murdered, but he suppressed it.

And he completely hid his heart.

‘Is that really 17 years old?’

It’s amazing that a mere 17-year-old could do that.

Because that age is usually the age when one’s emotions are revealed through facial expressions.

‘How hard did he walk until he got to that point?’

Until he suppresses his burning anger and learns to live wearing a mask.

How hard was it? And what a hard life he lived.

“Hey. Ha Yeon-ah.”

“Why?”

“I like Doyoon quite a bit, don’t I?”

“…What can I say?”

“Honestly, wasn’t Nam Do-yoon a bit cool today?”

“Huh?”

“You openly robbed the son of the National Assembly member, ‘Kim Eul-ryong’, who is openly corrupt. It’s just perfect.”‘

Jeong Ha-yeon thought about what happened today.

“..Well.. Sure it was a bit cool..”

Jeong Ha-yeon Unknowingly, the words came out.

Then, as if she wanted to say sorry, she stopped talking in a hurry.

“Hmm – What?”

Jeong Hae-soo looked at Jeong Ha-yeon mischievously.

“What… What did I say:”

“You said it was obviously a little cool, but…”

“No. It’s not that he’s cool. What is it. Uh. The lounge bar there was cool.”

“Mmm- is that so?”

“Everything..Of course.”

“Yes. Okay. Even so, Ha Yeon-ah, did you decide that?”

“Determined.. Decide what.”

“Are you the one who likes you or the one you like? Who will you choose?”

“Ah. Don’t say anything really weird.”

“Hmm. If you can’t decide, I agree to meet both of you.”

“…What?”

“Honestly, it’s okay if your face is about Hayeon’s. Cancer- Cancer- it is.”

“Do you really want me to make you use a wheelchair for the rest of your life?”

Jeong Ha-yeon clenched her fists and said.

“I don’t like it?”

“No. I’ll make it My brother thinks that will make his mouth a little quieter.”

****

The rooftop of a high-rise building overlooking the hotel.

There stood a pair of men and women.

It was Urbashi and her companions.

“…”

She was looking inside the hotel through a telescope.

“Are you still making me write that oath or something?”

“…Uh. I guess I can only get in if I use that.”

“Ah.

Urvashi said, scratching the back of her head.

“..Not only that.”

“What else?”

“..From now on, even if you try to enter the hotel, you must write a written oath to enter.”

“What? Give it to me.”

Urvashi snatched the telescope she was holding.

There were actually guys checking in front of the hotel.

They had to write a written oath before letting them into the hotel.

“f*ck. Security has become stricter. That’s why I just told you to fall asleep then.”

Urvashi said with a frown on her face.

“No. If you had attacked with your temper at that time, we would not have achieved our goal.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“At that time, many of the key figures had not yet entered the hotel.”

“…Tsk”

“If we had carried out the raid at that time, it would have been difficult for us to inflict meaningful damage. Then it will go against the contents of the request.”

The request they received is to make a mess of the new drug presentation of ‘Samhwa’ Bio.

In that way, the image of ‘Samhwa’ Bio is completely brought down to the ground.

“To completely lower the image of ‘Samhwa’ Bio, a lot of key people have to die there. If I had ventured then, it would have been impossible.”

“…Yes. Assuming you’re right, what are you going to do now?”

“What do you mean?”

“As you said, it seems that all the key figures are now gathered in the hotel, but they are unable to enter the hotel, so what are they going to do?”

“Don’t worry about that. Rather, it is an opportunity.”

The woman smiled and said.

“A chance?”

“The people inside write a magic oath, so they can’t use magic inside there, right?”

“..What is it?”

“What would happen if the banquet hall was destroyed under such circumstances?”

“…”

Urbashi looked at her with her dazed expression on her face.

“Yes. If the banquet hall is destroyed while unable to use mana, they will all die under the rubble. Of course, Hunters with excellent physical abilities will not die.”

“…”

“However, with that alone, the high-ranking officials inside the banquet hall will die quite a bit.”

The woman grinned.

“Yes. Everything is fine, but how are you going to destroy the banquet hall? Are you going to go inside the hotel and plant a bomb?”

“No. No need to go inside the hotel. We’re under suspicion right now, so we’re not in a situation where we can get in.”

“Then what are you going to do?”

“You can break the magic barrier in the banquet hall.”

“..Are you crazy?”

“What do you mean?”

“Can’t you see the magic barrier in the banquet hall? That’s not just an ordinary tent.”

“…Don’t worry about that.”

“What?”

“I have a method. Just do what I tell you to do.”
