Chapter 78: Her Story
Her Story
It was her parents who helped her find her place at the top of all clans in Korea. The DaeHyeon clan. They fought against others for the title of the strongest and the one who took control of its parent company was her parents. It was hard for her to reject their demands.
Her recruitment into the clan caused a lot of confusion because her parents helped her get accepted.
The problem was that to get into the clan, she had to stop attending school. That was when Sooji disobeyed her parents for the first time ever since she was born. Her life at school with Jaehwang was more important to her.
Tragedy then struck both of them. They returned to Seoul while Jaehwang and his parents got into a car accident. All of them were shocked when they heard that the guy she loved the most got hurt and was comatosed.
She tried to rush to his side when she heard the news but her parents had stopped her and they pressured her to make a choice. Her life was starting to be bright and great again but then things had started to change. If she chose Jaehwang, her parents would could off all their contacts and disown her.
It was a hard decision to make, she took on the clan training and did his best to forget about him. It worked onto some degree. She would have a sense of accomplishment everytime her skills had grown and that gave her the strength to erase Jaehwang from her mind. And the leader of the clan, SongJae, helped her the most.
He was the DaeHyeon clan’s first son and he was the youngest in the group. Even though he wasn’t so strong as a hunter but he was expected to be a level five hunter. He was handsome, he wasn’t as famous as one would thought but he was popular among them. He became interested in her and she became interested in him. That’s the time when she forgot about Jaehwang completely.
She soon got engaged to SongJae but then she found out a terrible truth.. All of that was just the DaeHyeon group’s and her parents’ evil scheme. The DaeHyeon group planned it since the beginning because she had a Debauzer descent. They knew that she was one of them so they realized that it would be a great opportunity for her to marry someone of her own kind. The chances of their child being born was high.
They wanted a direct line of Debauzers, they wanted to get their hands on a pure blooded child to keep their long project alive. Her parents said that to her with, they didn’t intend to keep it as a secret.
However, she had regained her hopes in her heart once she found out that Jaehwang was a Debauzer a few days ago. The Daehyeon group was very greedy but her parents were much more than that.
She could give him a chance now that she knew that they shared the same descent. She thought that maybe if they knew that he was a Deauzer then they would reconsider as well. The Daehyeon group had lots of money but they had to keep it that way.
They knew that those with blood related to Debauzers were very strong and of course, two were much more stronger than one.
Her parents promised that she could meet him in the past but they had never fulfilled that promise up to this day.
‘I’m going crazy.’
She already had a woman with him. Her love could no longer be accepted if he already have someone that she loved but with one look, she knew that she was not what she originally thought she was. She was beautiful and she had an overflowing energy compared to a level five hunter.
She soon noticed that her strength was just around level four and she had just been over-absorbing energy dangerously. That energy could burst out of her, something bad could happen but it looked like she didn’t know that herself.
Jaehwang still also felt the same way but he didn’t want to shamelessly show his interest like an idiot.
It was because he lost his entire family, he struggled desperately in the hospital and he wanted to give up on himself. He couldn’t say anything to her and just let her walk away.
He was lost. He didn’t want to have someone just to lose them once again. He couldn’t understand what that feeling was.
However, she didn’t notice it. After she left Jaehwang and school, her parents and the Daehyeon group wanted to know what happened to him. His parents and everyone he loved had disappeared and no one was there for him. Jaehwang then decided not to trust anyone and no one also tried to trust him either.
“Thank you. Let me process your bill.” The lady at the counter said as Jaehwang handed her Joonghwi’s check card. The employee then tilted her head and asked him a question.
“You’re not going to pay for that too?” She followed.
He looked back and saw the spirit holding a big tray of dessert.
“That will be $130 dollars.”
Their prices there were ridiculously high. The spirit walked up to him and handed him a plastic bag full of their leftovers. Jaehwang squinted his eyes and she responded by putting on her cute face before she said,
“I want to pack this too…”
“Sigh…” The spirit already packed her snacks and there was nothing he could do. He just decided to allow and pay for it all. The employee then saw his card and her face suddenly turned red like a carrot. Even she was charmed by spirits cuteness before they walked out of they cafe.
Jaehwang didn’t look so satisfied but the spirit that followed him showed as bright smile. She had a slim, tall and a healthy body. Her beautiful face would always draw attention wherever they go.
Everyone’s eyes continued to follow them as they got onto an elevator.
They returned to Jaehwang’s room and the spirit jumped into his bed and placed her feet on his desk as soon as he opened the door.
“It could get messy in here. Your crumbs will fall everywhere, let’s just eat at the table.” Jaehwang said with a caring tone but the spirit paid him no mind and just picked up the remote to turn on the TV. She wanted to relax so he kept his eyes on the screen as she began to ate her snacks.
“Because of this I…” Her head was hurting and she can’t let him know about that. She consumed all of that fourth tier energy but it caused her more harm than good.
The spirit asked herself how would she be able to focus on helping him if her mind were out all the time. She then shrugged off that idea and continued to watch while eating a giant creme donut.
“I’m disappointed.” The potted pine tree was ruthlessly cut down and the old man was very angry about it.
“We’re sorry.” Said a lady in a shamanist costume as she bowed her head in sorrow.
“Done. When you return all the work will be finished.”
“Thanks.” Said the old man as he looked at the pot next to him where the tree used to be. All of the hardships that he had suffered through were engraved on his face but his body was bulky like that of a young person.
“Rumi, I haven’t noticed that you’ve been by my side for about ten years nows.”
“Yeah.” She was 28 years old although she looked like she was only in her early twenties. She started when she was 18 and since then, she’s been like GwanJae’s shadow but even so, she would still get nervous every time she would hear his voice.
“But even though it has been ten years, you still prefer to stay and help me. Have I underestimated your abilities?”
She fell to her knees at the moment he said that. She’s been loyal by his side for the past ten years and she didn’t really know what kind of ruler he was.
“…” She closed her eyes. She knew that she couldn’t lean on him forever but her mind had turned blank.”
“You’ve done a good job helping me for the past ten years. So I will make sure that that guy would not disappoint you…” GwanJae nodded his head before he sat down to relax.
“Okay, now let’s talk a little. How is that guy doing these days? He’s had a little experience in studying but he suddenly shattered the SamJeon Church. Now his name is pretty well-known around town. Isn’t it a little too much?”
“We should go to Justin point and take some action. All of their father’s names were heard and they stepped back,” Rumi replied.
“He said that he already made use of something and the work was uncared for by the country?” He asked.
She fell silent for a second and replied, “The news was written up, the media erased it all and left behind no tracks. It’s just… Jaehwang is a little familiar with the Daehyeon clan now.”
“The Daehyeon clan?Hm… He met them? There’s no way. How long has that been going on?” He wondered how long had their interactions had been going and asked. He didn’t really have a problem with it, he was just curious.
“I’m not sure,” She replied.
They both then thought of Jaehwang’s and Sooji’s relationship and everything started to make sense. He was actually skeptical about Jaehwang before but now he had more reasons to doubt him. What he found was very surprising and he then started to smirk. “I didn’t know that the Daehyeon group had so many fun tricks.”
“At first glance it looks as if they’re moving aside but their movements seem like their jumping ahead,” Rumi said.
“Hm… It doesn’t seem anything they were hesitant about. Don’t they leave women behind? They’re evil…”
“I will erase them.” Rumi followed as she read GwanJae’s expression. She smirked at the thought of erasing them. It was a clan that they were partnered with but she said that without any hesitation.
“No, first leave them be.” Gwanjae gave her a slight nod.
“Leave them be…?”
“It would be nice to get rid of them but first we have to wait and see.”
“However, we can send threats to Jaehwang. Jaehwang was another one of them that I was getting a bad feeling about,” Rumi said with an anxious tone. GwanJae didn’t know much about Jaehwang and what to think of him but he knew her well. He would be heartbroken if he heard that his grandson would get terribly hurt but GwanJae just smiled and what she had said.
“Sending him threats… Why am I worried about that? He would only get a little hurt and his team members wont get badly injured either. And as for the other guys… Your abilities are still lacking.”
“?” She gave him a nod as he removed all the doubt in her head.
She hesitated for a second and said, “There has to be something more special for Jaehwang.”
“Something special?”
“Yes. we have to find the lady he’s been talking to and we should see what’s inside his room.”
“Huh?” He seemed a little confused and surprised at the same time.
“The stone Buddha, the iron wall and the stone heart, is that the person you’re talking about?”
“Uh… Yes.” Gwanjae showed her a concerned expression.
Rumi then seemed nervous and followed, “What’s his position?”
“Well… He’s undocumented so we can’t check his position but, Jaehwang’s connection with me caused those in Justin point to request us to check hers.”
“Sounds fun… How did that happen?” Rumi replied.
“She was really beautiful and…”
“Beautiful? Even they’re finally starting to be curious about her. Haha, good. That’s a good sign.” She interrupted him before he could even finish talking.
“However, that still doesn’t help much. Jaehwang may be after them…”
“It doesn’t matter. That will only make it harder for them and easier for us.”
“That’s right.” Gwanjae had never intended to invade Jaehwang’s privacy but now he needed to know about the people that he knew. He didn’t really care about if that lady used him or did they really had a date.
The lady he had in mind was the one right in front of him. She amazing skills even though she was just 18, she was the most outstanding and strongert out of all his followers. She immediately absorbed everything she was taught like a sponge and after ten years, she was almost like a granddaughter to him.
“I actually wish you were related to him.”
“I…” She was speechless for the first time.
He wished she was actually family. She was tempted to make a few lame excuses to change the subject but as he said, Jaehwang was like an iron wall but he was more like an impregnable fortress. Of course she had deep scars to the heart from past failures but she couldn’t blame her for that. That was because she didn’t have a keyplayer.
She would rather aim for Jaehwang’s life and she felt like she would be able to relax once that was finished.
“No. You’re just another fool on that side and what i meant was that I want you to always handle the work.” Rumi’s face turned red. “Oh, and, how is that guy?”
“What guy?…” She replied.
“That guy which Jaehwang sent to us to watch over.”
Rumi remembered that she had received the latest report about him. “He has unconscious but, if it’s convenient to you then I can try finding something. It’s just…”
“It’s just…?” Gwanjae followed with a curious tone.
“There are still lots of different procedures in his body that we are still trying to figure out. It turned out to be a very complicated situation. Another thing is that, they found out that his behaviour was caused by a nanobot in his brain which was made from a foreign substance. The examination said that it could be a form of a brainwashing drug.”
GwanJae’s face was turned to stone. “The SamJeom Church leaders are having fun these days, huh? We should try to fix it.”
“Subdue it?” Rumi asked. The country of the SamJeon Church have not been exposed and that was hard to do so. She already made calculations in her head about how much it would take to accomplish that goal.
“No… Soon I’ll need to see blood on my hands. We could have a social meeting but that would be filled by a lot of strong guys. We need be treated as the last survivors on this earth, right? I heard about how they made those amazing items at the SamJeon church and each organization spread the secret. Other people talked about their cruelty but the media swept that aside.” GwanJae had the abilities to possibly subdue it but, he would have to avoid as much damage as he can.
“Those guys developed quite a lot of ways for this. If I could reach a connection with them then things would be much easier.”
GwanJae tried to solve things. SamJeon church had ways to subdue it and all of it was exterminated. The situation would only grow bigger for GwanJae and it would be hard to eliminate them from the picture.
“However, if that happens, we would need a lot of information from groups of all sorts of walks in life in Justin Point before we could check the actual facts. The person that would be in charge of going after Jaehwang could also be defeated.” Rumi gave her advice. She thought that maybe she could take charge of handling Jaehwang instead.
“Is it that simple?” GwanJae said with a smile.
