Heo Seong-chan. And Yoo Jin-soo.

Commonly called Jinsu Saengchan after that name, they were quite skilled contractors.

That’s why Kim Seon-woo also hired talented ‘errand runners’ to deal with them. In the first place, the numbers are 2 to 12. Unless you know if it’s a third-rate cartoon that only children with nosebleeds can read, in reality, you won’t be able to overcome that gap in headcount. Kim Seon-woo thought so.

So Kim Seon-woo entrusted the two contractors to errand men and leisurely burned a cigarette outside the church.

White smoke rose and irregular pictures were drawn in the air.

10 Minutes.

That should be enough time for the two contractors to be subdued. Thinking so, Kim Seon-woo walked around the cathedral as far as he could. Border around? There was no way. His own only enemy is inside the cathedral.

Yes.

It was Kim Seon-woo’s only mistake to be so complacent.

“Hey.”

“Huh?”

Kim Seon-woo turned his head. In the dark. A silver-haired woman was watching him through the thicket of trees.

“Who-“

Before Kim Seon-woo’s question took shape, Ji Ye-won moved. Parbat! The purple blade she ejected from her hand slammed into Seonwoo Kim’s neck at once.

“Hey?!”

“Shut up and kneel.”

The suppression was instantaneous. Ji Ye-Won, who jumped out of the bush, thrust a sad blade at Kim Seon-Woo’s neck. Kim Seon-woo had no choice but to kneel quietly as Ji Ye-won commanded.

“Who, who are you? Who is this to me-“

“Shut up. Don’t turn your head Just answer the questions asked.”

Yewon Ji was a pro at this kind of thing. She did not give Kim Seon-woo any freedom. The cold words that came out of his mouth instilled an instinctive sense of fear in Kim Seon-woo.

If he disobeys her words, the sharp blade thrust through the throat will cut through the soft skin.

Kim Seon-woo wanted to check the woman’s face and ask her identity, but he couldn’t do anything. He just gulped and swallowed dryly as he looked at the cathedral where the messengers he hired were located.

-Cheong! Caang! Bang! Kwakwawang!

There was a loud noise in the cathedral. It was a fierce battle.

If he cries out for help here, none of the errand boys inside will hear his cry.

A while ago, it was said that complacent judgment was Kim Seon-woo’s only mistake. Yes, this time too, his complacency played a part. If he had singled out just one person for the purpose of escorting him, he would not have been subdued so easily by Ji Ye-won.

“Seonwoo Kim is the research director, right?”

“Oh, if not?”

“I just asked for confirmation. I already know her face From now on, I’m going to ask you some questions. Answer those questions honestly. Got it?”

“… ….”

“Answer.”

– Pudeuk!

Ji Ye-won grabbed Kim Seon-woo by the ear and twisted it as hard as he could. Immediately after, the sound of his bones and flesh twisting echoed in his mind.

“Ah, ah ah ah ah ah!”

“I told you. Answer. Be sincere.”

Kim Seon-woo felt like he was going crazy with the intense pain as if one side of his head was being ripped off. However, with the blade thrust into his throat, he couldn’t even struggle.

I just hoped that someone from the errand boy would come out to check the situation outside because of that scream, but no one came out of the church. His expression darkened even more.

“Can you answer well this time?”

“Yes, yes! Answer, I will answer!”

“Okay. First of all. Blow as much as you know about the Kang Ha-neul kidnapping plan.”

“That, that…… !”

The key presented suddenly.

Kim Seon-woo literally couldn’t hide his embarrassment. This woman, what the hell is she, she knows only a few people in the laboratory, does she know about it?

‘No way…… !’

In an instant, the words of Director Na Ju-yong came to mind in his mind.

Min Chaeryeong. Academy guard team leader.

If there is a biggest obstacle to this job, she is that woman.

Kim Seon-woo was clearly aware of the words that Director Na Ju-yong spilled in passing. Could this woman be Min Chae-ryeong? Or is it her subordinate?

Anyway, I couldn’t answer that question straight away. Kang Ha-neul is the core of multi-ability research. It was a research sample that Director Na Ju-yong, as well as the Yeoil Group, which was holding out behind him, tried to secure by any means.

However.

“Hesitation.”

-Pudeuk!!

“aaa!!!!!”

Even that moment of hesitation was enough to test Ji Ye-won’s patience.

Ji Ye-Won clenched Kim Seon-Woo’s shoulder violently. Soon, with the sound of bones breaking, his left arm twitched in an amusing way. Kim Seon-woo was not a superman. Is it possible to handle the muscular strength of a superman with the body of an ordinary person?

“Cheer, cooer! Ugh! Uhhhhh…….”

Moreover, Kim Seon-woo was not even a combatant, but just an intelligence and researcher. He shuddered as tears, runny nose, and all sorts of liquid poured from his face at the agony he had experienced for the first time in his life.

‘If I continue like this, I will die…… !’

Thinking of common sense, there was no way Ji Ye-won, who had to dig up information, would kill him. However, Kim Seon-woo could not make even that level of rational judgment due to the intense pain running through his spine.

“S, Smartphone…… !”

If you don’t kill, you die. Only such primitive thoughts filled Kim Seon-woo’s mind.

“Smartphone?”

“Su, there is information on your smartphone! Angry, I have to check, because I have to, turn it off, take out the action, accept it…… !”

“Okay. Take it out You know if I act nonsense instead, right?”

The other hand that created the blade, Ji Ye-won’s left hand, slowly touched Kim Seon-woo’s mouth. Teeth. After the ears and shoulders are the teeth. It was a gesture that seemed to say so. Surprised by that action, Kim Seon-woo rummaged through his pockets with his trembling hands.

Then he took out a smartphone.

At first glance, it was an ordinary smartphone, but Kim Seon-woo had a different purpose.

‘Where do you get hurt…… !’

-Beep!

The moment he performed a specific operation on his smartphone, super-high frequency sounds resonated in all directions. A high pitched sound of a specific frequency that is inaudible to ordinary people, but shakes the minds of superhumans.

“Kyaheuk?!”

Ji Ye-won inadvertently released her hands that were restraining Kim Seon-woo at the brain-ripping noise he had never heard before.

“hahahaha!”

Kim Seon-woo escaped the restraint without missing the gap. Where is that? As if to avenge his arm and ear, he took out a pistol from his bosom and quickly aimed it at Ji Ye-won.

-Bang! Bang! Bang! Taang!

A sharp gunshot. Raging flames.

Even a superman could not survive being hit by a .44 Magnum bullet fired from close range. Any superman above B-class would be able to withstand it, but Ji Ye-won was not that level of superman.

Even where the bullets go is her vital point. Kim Seon-woo, who showed good aiming skills for a researcher, aimed four bullets at Ji Ye-won, aiming for the forehead, neck, left shoulder, and chest.

I won.

The moment the bullet was fired. Before the two even realized that the bullet had been fired, Kim Seon-woo thought so. It was a reasonable decision.

-Ting! Teeting! Ting!

But this time, it was an easy decision.

“Huh?”

“…… Uh?”

The exclamations of the two overlapped. The bullets fired with intense flame fell in vain, blocked by the transparent barrier blocking Ji Ye-won’s path.

Its identity is a shield created by the Cross of Cold Flame received from Ahn Soo-ho that unconditionally blocks a life-threatening attack once a day.

The only defense against the dragon’s breath was used to block bullets, which was like using a cow knife to catch chickens, but not even Kim Seon-woo and Ji Ye-won were clearly aware of that fact.

However, unlike Kim Seon-woo, who was taken aback by the sudden situation, Ji Ye-won was a trained professional.

“You bastard!”

“Hey?!”

Ji Ye-won’s sword reflected the light. Whirik! The sword, which drew a beautiful trajectory, pierced Kim Seon-woo’s right shoulder at once. The smartphone, which made a high-pitched noise, was also split in half while its trajectory was drawn.

– Kung!

She pushed her sword as if to knock over her son Seon-woo Kim, and said, pressing down on the stomach of the fallen Kim Seon-woo with one foot.

“Hey.”

In a very bloody voice.

“Do you want to die?”

There was no way he would kill him in a position where he needed to obtain information. However, Kim Seon-woo was such an idiot that even that much fact could not be inferred. Normally I don’t know, but at least for now.

“Khik! Sorry, sorry I-I-I’m sorry…… !”

“If you’re sorry, shut up and only answer questions. There is no next.”

“That’s embarrassing!”

At that time, a new person intervened between the bloody two.

“I have business with that researcher! It’s difficult to play first!”

Heo Seong-chan strode out as he opened the door of the cathedral where the dust was rising. Yoo Jin-soo followed quietly behind him.

“Uh, how?”

“How, what! You thought you could kill us with just those guys?!”

The two had blood splattered all over their bodies, but there were no serious wounds. In the first place, most of the blood was not her own, but that of the men who attacked her.

“How did you survive?! Six C-class supers and six B-class supers! It must have been enough power to deal with two B-classes!”

“hahahaha! You’re a bit clumsy with calculations on the subject of science!”

As if to show off, Heo Seong-chan stood shoulder to shoulder with Yoo Jin-soo. A lively voice erupted from his mouth.

“My partnership with Jinsu is multiplication, not addition!! No, is it squared? Anyway!”

“That, what is that… ….”

“Anyway, there sister! I want him to get out of the way because I have something to look after!”

“Wait a minute. Sacrament. Could that person over there…….”

Yoo Jin-soo, recognizing Ji Ye-won, muttered, “I can’t believe it.” Only then did Heo Seong-chan recognize Ji Ye-won’s face.

“Oh! Are you Ye Ji-won? What, why are you here?!”

“… ….”

“Ah, by no means are you from this side too? I didn’t know that! Somehow, I said I was strangely attracted to it from the first time I saw it, so it turns out I was a person in the same industry! Ha ha ha!”

“Ye Jiwon…… Did you say?”

Unlike Heo Seong-chan, who was rightfully beaten by her, Yoo Jin-soo slowly approached her with her cold-hearted attitude.

“That man has business with us too. If you are going to kill that man, may I ask you once we finish our business?”

“…… What’s your business?”

“I won’t kill you! Instead, to the point of regretting betraying us! I will torment and torture you to the point where you want to die!”

“Is that for real?”

“…… After I get some information, I’m going to do as my partner says.”

Unlike Heo Sung-chan, Yoo Jin-soo had a rational personality, but he also had no intention of letting Kim Seon-woo, who had betrayed him, live. It was also one of the rules of the slum contractor.

A proper punishment for a traitor.

For Kim Seon-woo, who tried to kill him for calling the two contractors to hire him, there would be nothing but death.

“Okay. As long as I only blow the information I want to hear, there is nothing more to see. After that, you take care of yourself.”

“Good! I’m so glad I didn’t have to fight with you! I really hate fighting with a girl I like!”

“That’s good. I didn’t want to fight you either.”

“Ha ha ha ha! Okay? Did you like me too?”

At that question, Ji Ye-won looked at the cathedral with a wry smile.

‘Did you say six C-levels out of B-levels?’

At that level of power, objectively, it was by no means a small amount. At least Ji Ye-Won alone would be a power difference that could never be overcome by fighting head-on.

Against such people, the man in front of him overturned the power difference of 2 vs 12 and won. It’s pretty easy too.

If you listen to Kim Seon-woo, they must also be C-class, at most B-class superhumans. Nevertheless, the fact that he overturned his numerical inferiority so easily must mean that his technical skills, not his specs as a superman, are literally ridiculously strong.

‘There is no need to be hasty hostile. At least as long as those two aren’t trying to kidnap Kang Ha-neul.’

When I heard the story, it seemed unlikely that the two were still aiming for Kang Ha-neul. However, this part was something that had to be done for sure, so Ji Ye-won asked the two of them.

“Let me tell you first, I am in the position to protect Kang Ha-neul, whom Lee Ja-shik tried to kidnap? What are the two of you like?”

“We originally intended to kidnap him!”

“But not now.”

“Right! This time around the kidnapping of Kang Ha-neul, that researcher’s son said he would hire us again, but as you can see, he was beaten in the back of the head!”

“The previous quest is a completed quest that has already returned the down payment. And as you can see, the new commission broke before it even started. Therefore, the two of us have no intention of aiming for the river sky now.”

“OK. In other words, you and I are not enemies.”

At those words, Heo Seong-chan nodded violently. Ji Ye-won looked down at Kim Seon-woo again as Yoo Jin-soo also silently agreed.

“Did you hear that? Now, do you have any idea what to do?”

“I, I… ….”

“French. Everything as it is If you don’t want to fall behind.”

“… ….”

At Ji Ye-won’s coercive words, Kim Seon-woo looked up at her trembling.

“Hee hee hee.”

Shortly, a thick mocking smile came to his lips. Ji Ye-won wondered if this man had gone mad, but the words that came out of his mouth were completely different from what she expected.

“Well, if you’re trying to save her, it’s already too late! Ooh, the new contractor we hired has already finished the kidnapping!”

“…… Is that true?”

“Probably true! You just said in front of us that you finished kidnapping two days ago!”

Ji Ye-won let out a deep sigh at Heo Seong-chan’s words. How did she accept that response?

“Go, Kang Haneul is already in our hands! If you want to save that woman, Sue, would it be better for her to obey me?”

“That sucks.”

“What? G-G-GIRARQUaaa!!!”

Yewon Ji twisted the blade that grew out of her wrist 90 degrees. Kudo deuk! She twisted his shoulder with the sound of flesh being crushed.

“Ahh!! aaa!!!”

“I don’t know your position yet. You are not in a position to shout at me right now.”

“Aagh! Ugh! Ugh, uh uh uh uh!”

“Shut up. I’ll give you a call somewhere.”

Ji Ye-Won immediately called Min Chae-Ryeong. As soon as she received it, she straight-up asked about the whereabouts of Kang Sky.

She asked.

“What? Kang Ha-neul is fine?”

Min Chaeryeong replied that Kang Ha-neul was fine. A situation that does not match Kim Seon-woo’s argument. The moment he tilted his head with a puzzled look on the difference, Heo Seong-chan raised his hand and said.

“That’s Stephanie!”

“What? Stephanie?”

“Stephanie is a shapeshifter! Maybe that river sky is pretending to be that girl so that her child won’t be noticed?”

“Did you hear me? You say so?”

Hearing Heo Sung-chan’s words over the phone, Min Chae-ryeong fell into deep trouble.

‘Transformer? Are you saying Kang Ha-neul is fake? Has she already been kidnapped?’

‘That can’t be. Kang Haneul’s every move was being watched. At least I was seeing where and what I was doing in real time! There was no sign of being kidnapped?’

‘No, I see. If you work in a place where there is no surveillance blind spot or CCTV and transform into Kang Ha-neul……. Like a bathroom? Yes, there is a possibility. Unbelievable. To think I made such a rudimentary mistake…… !’

Min Chae-ryeong nervously tousled her hair after making a guess that was close to the truth with only her fragmentary information.

‘When did you get kidnapped? Did you just get hit? Or a few days ago? If a lot of time has passed, there is a possibility that it has already been moved to another place and hidden from my eyes. Then… ….’

Before finding out the whereabouts of Kang Ha-neul, she catches the culprit and digs up information.

Min Chaeryeong, who thought so, immediately referred to the last reported location of Kang Ha-neul.

“…… Uh?”

Soon, a low exclamation escaped from her mouth.

“Ahn Su-ho’s house…… ?”

The location of the river sky. To be precise, the last reported location of Stephanie, who transformed into Kang Ha-neul, was Ahn Su-ho’s house. She hadn’t come out since she entered An Su-ho’s house about an hour ago.

“What the hell is this…….”

With her mouth saying that, Min Chae-ryeong quickly called Ahn Soo-ho. If An Su-ho is with her woman, Stephanie, she’s trying to get her An-su-ho to subdue her before the woman notices her.

However.

“Ahn Soo-ho. Listen to me from now on. Kang Ha-neul, who is with you right now-“

-Chief. Already caught

“………… What?”

A chilly voice came over the phone. For a moment, Min Chae-ryeong unknowingly shook her shoulder.

– The damn hijacker. Already got it

That time. Ahn Su-ho’s room in Sokcho, Gangwon-do.

“I-i-i-i-ik!”

“Stay still. Because I want to kill you right now.”

In the middle of the messy room, Ahn Soo-ho’s right hand, shining fiercely with Talisman’s light, was gripping Stephanie’s collar.

“Aren’t you letting this go right away?! You know who I am!”

“I don’t care who you are. The child of a minor villain who did not even appear in the main story. Shut up and answer any questions I ask.”

Ahn Su-ho’s eyes shone with an incomparable life force. Two eyes filled with pure hostility and pure anger stared intently at the woman in front of her.

“Hey.”

I dare say that he has never been so angry since he possessed this world.

“Where is the sky?”
