Chapter 491: Clue 1

Eltor was gone, taking the infected with him, and Junhyuk noticed that time was flowing normally again.

He thought about the dimensional tear that Eltor had just made. If he managed to create a dimensional tear, Junhyuk would also be able to learn the Dimensional Slash.

He thought hard about the information he had gained before turning to look at Charles. Charles was staring him down, and Helen was also confused by what had just happened. The infected had simply disappeared.

Looking at them, Junhyuk said, “The infected are all gone.”

“Where did they go?”

They had disappeared right in front of them, which had left them surprised, but Junhyuk explained, “I don’t know where they went, but they aren’t on Earth anymore.”

The managers had taken them, and what would happen to them wouldn’t be nice. That was what he thought. The infected had opposed further human research, but now, they were in the hands of the managers.

Junhyuk thought about their future, sighed and looked at Charles.

“Let’s get out of here. We need to talk.”

“Sure.”

Charles knew he had made a mistake. Junhyuk used his spatial sense to check through the facility, but no one else had survived. Charles was the only one.

“There are no other infected, right?”

“Correct.”

“Shall we shut this place down permanently?”

Charles started sweating cold.

“There are a lot of expensive research tools and materials here.”

“If it has to do with porings, it shouldn’t interest you.” The data was all from the poring research, and Junhyuk said, “We should destroy everything on porings everywhere.”

He knew it was possible for people to use poring corpses for their research, but he wanted to get rid of those as well.

Charles sighed and nodded.

“Sure. This place should shut down.”

“I’ll do it myself.”

Charles nodded again. Junhyuk had his permission, so he pulled a demon stone from his Spatial Bag. A demon stone of the lowest quality would burn everything around it. He threw it at a wall, and when the stone shattered, the fire ignited, burning everything in its path.

Junhyuk walked over to Charles and Helen. Charles bit his lip, but there was nothing he could do.

Burning it all down was rather cheap, and Junhyuk had already finished rescuing Charles, so he grabbed their hands and teleported back to the surface.

The helicopters had landed, and Jennifer was outside waiting for them.

He looked at her and asked, “Are you coming back to South Korea?”

“No. I’ll take my father to a hospital and have him examined first. Then, I’ll go back.”

Guardians was located in South Korea, and the whole world seemed to revolve around the country. Other political and corporate leaders were trying to position themselves within the country. South Korea was a better place now.

Junhyuk looked at Helen and asked, “What are you going to do?”

“I’ll return with Jennifer.”

Helen couldn’t leave Jennifer behind by herself.

Junhyuk turned to Charles and said, “We talked about this. Your greed led to this.”

“I’m very sorry.”

Junhyuk walked slowly toward Charles. The mercenaries didn’t know what to do, but Helen signaled for them not to make a move. If he had wanted them all dead there, there would’ve been nothing they would’ve been able to do.

Helen stood in front of Jennifer, but Junhyuk continued until he was standing directly in front of Charles. Staring him in the eyes, Junhyuk whispered, “You can’t ask them for forgiveness, but you can ask the world to forgive you. I’ll be watching you to decide whether or not I’ll forgive you.”

Junhyuk triggered his teleportation device then and returned to South Korea. Charles sighed heavily and looked at Jennifer.

“Don’t worry about me. I’ll get you a ticket.”

“Father?!”

“I’m fine. I won’t go to a hospital.”

Charles got on a helicopter, and Jennifer turned to Helen, who shook her head. The women knew very well how the old man was. Charles had made up his mind, and that wouldn’t change. After that, the two wished they had returned with Junhyuk.

Charles looked out the window. The reflection of his eyes appeared on the glass, and he could see his pupils were green. After looking at them, he closed his eyes. When he opened them again, they were back to being gray. Charles smiled and leaned back against his seat.

Junhyuk went to see Elise. Though she was busy with work, she still greeted him warmly.

“Welcome!”

“I’ve just dealt with another infected incident in the States.”

Elise frowned and asked, “There are still infected there?”

“They were keeping them under observation, but during that time, the infected activated more powers, which created problems.”

“Hm..”

Junhyuk added, “We should destroy all remaining poring cadavers. That research shouldn’t continue.”

The dimensional managers knew about the poring situation, so he had to put a stop to all research on porings.

Looking at Elise, he asked, “Don’t we have an infected as well?”

Elise nodded.

“Eunmi Jung is still living underground at Guardians. We haven’t put her in restraints or anything, but she is not fit to go out in public.”

Junhyuk worried about that. Eunmi had been in containment for more time than the infected he had just fought. She should have her freedom. But, Junhyuk was worried about the managers finding out about her.

“Agenchra,” he said.

He had a bad relationship with Eltor, but his relationship with his own manager was good. After stopping time, Agenchra appeared.

The manager greeted him with a wide smile, “Congratulations on your streak!”

Junhyuk stared at Agenchra, so the manager shook his head and asked, “Is there a problem?”

“Eltor.”

Agenchra sighed.

“What’s the problem?”

“He took human infected by porings with him.”

“There were still people infected?”

“Yes. They had activated more powers through sheer will, which was why Eltor took them. Can he do that?”

Agenchra spent a moment thinking and said, “I can file an official complaint. Thank you for your information.”

“No need to thank me.”

It would be nice if Eltor was reprimanded due to Junhyuk’s complaint.

“I’ll look into it. Did you want anything else?”

“Can you cure someone infected? Or contain their powers?”

Agenchra searched through his clothes and pulled out a pocketbook. He looked through it, tapped his fedora with a pen and said, “The monster administration created the porings. It was one of their masterpieces. I can interfere or come up with a treatment directly.”

Agenchra wrote something down and gave it to Junhyuk.

“Now, Elise. She’s learned magitek. Give her this, and she will make it happen.”

“What is it?”

It seemed like an intricate chemical formula.

“Treatment.”

Junhyuk sighed. If he had had that before, he wouldn’t have had to fight Denver.

Reading his mind, Agenchra explained, “This is a reward. I can’t give this kind of information to anyone, so it has to be kept a secret between us.”

“Thanks.”

Junhyuk took the piece of paper, and Agenchra smiled at him.

“Don’t stop winning.”

“Do you gain anything if I become a legend?”

“If one of my contractors becomes a legend, I get incentives. You are capable of becoming a legend, so I want to help you.”

Junhyuk laughed and waved at the manager.

“Don’t spend your time on me. Spend your time on Eltor.”

“I will.”

Agenchra was gone. He looked at Elise, and she noticed the piece of paper he was holding.

“What is that?”

“Treatment for the infected. It’s a formula, but I can’t understand it.”

Elise’s eyes beamed after she took the paper.

“Whoa! This is complex! I should even be able to make a poring with this!”

Junhyuk shook his head and said, “You don’t have to do that. Just work on the treatment. I’ll tell Eunseo to destroy the rest of the research materials concerning porings.”

“I’ll do it! This chemical formula is really fun!”
