Chapter 126

[Flowering Night (6)]

What the hell is he doing!

Oh Yeon jung couldnt hide her surprise and embarrassment at the child who was weighing her down.

She was a Class A player. Even though she was a supporter, being called an A-grade player meant that she had the skills to be a decent player.

However, she hadnt noticed the childs presence until the child revealed itself.

It wasnt just a presence.

Stay still.

She tried to push the child away, but she couldnt escape. It felt as if an unbelievably heavy stone was pressing down on her body.

The child was using mana.

And it was doing so with incredible skill, to the point where she couldnt respond.

The fact that such a child existed was unbelievable.

How many have you brought in?

Where are you touching now?

Why? Do you have something important hidden? Just as I thought.

The boy, No Eunha, didnt hesitate to touch her legs.

He slipped his hand between her thighs and pulled out a short knife.

He removed the sheath, revealing a sharp blade.

Eunha held the blade up to her eyes.

What about the other device?

Thats it.

Youre lying. Why, Do you want scars on your face or something?

That is really Agh!

As Yeon-jung screamed when the blade passed momentarily by her cheek, there was a faint mark left on it.

This brat!

Gritting her teeth, she glared at him in the blades reflection.

Eunha didnt care. With one hand on her head and the other on the blade, he brandished the knife, repeating the question that had been interrupted earlier.

Any other devices?

I have a gun on my left leg.

You were close.

Eunha touched around for the spot she mentioned.

It was a revolver that could hold up to seven bullets.

He found a magazine with interchangeable bullets.

Potions?

In my handbag. Theres another knife in there.

If youre lying.

Im not lying.

Eunha looked down at Oh Yeon-jung.

He smirked, then got off the bed and rummaged through her handbag on the dresser.

Ho-oh.

Eunha found Jung Seok-hoons potion and admired it briefly.

Jung Seok-hoons potions were still dominating the potion market.

The fact that she had two of these hard-to-find potions, one to restore health and the other to restore mana, showed how important her mission was.

In addition to that, there were a few other potions in her handbag that could be categorized as sub-works of Jung Seok-hoon.

This is good.

Rapier G-BEx07, manufactured by Galaxy Devices.

It was a rapier that could control the blade freely by infusing it with mana.

Eunha extended the blade to the length of his forearm and shoved all the devices in his hand into her handbag.

There was no holster. He slung the handbag diagonally and adjusted the strap length.

Meanwhile, sitting on the edge of the bed, Oh Yeon jung watched him fix the bag strap.

Would it work? why wouldnt it work on him?

She tapped her fingers resting on the edge of the bed.

Mana flowing from the tip of her fingers melted into the surroundings without him noticing.

Mana infused with the gift of <Fascination> circulated in the room.

Over time, he would be mesmerized by her.

And she was determined to hasten that time.

I realize youre not a normal kid. But, can you really do anything?

She walked up to him with her arms open in a do-nothing stance.

He fixed the strap of his bag and looked up at her.

She smiled enchantingly and gradually released mana.

There was no one who had ever been under the influence of <Fascination> to this extent who hadnt fallen for it.

-Youre cute, little one, so Ill spare you.

That was when she stretched out her arm to place her hand on his chin.

A murderous aura swept over her.

She stumbled backward without realizing it, and was so stunned that she forgot to close her mouth.

She couldnt take her eyes off the menacing aura emanating from him.

It seems you still cant quite grasp the situation.

Ah

The next thing she knew, he had grabbed her by the hair and was cutting it off with a knife.

He dropped a random lock of hair in front of her eyes.

Shut up and get down.

Im sorry, Ill do it.

She couldnt win.

She hadnt fought him yet, but she could predict the outcome just by the aura he gave off.

It was a fleshiness shed never felt before, not even from players whod crossed countless battlefields.

It was as if he was holding a blade to her throat.

Follow me.

With weakened legs, she struggled to stand up, trembling like a newborn deer.

Why wasnt the Gift working?

He was clearly under the influence of the Gift.

However, he was no different from a moment ago.

That meant he wasnt affected by the Gift.

Why?

She was sure of it.

Possessing a more powerful gift than the average, she could mesmerize anyone, even if they were stubborn.

She had even mesmerized people of the same sex before.

And yet, she couldnt charm a mere child?

That cant be right.

It cant be.

Even when resisting <Fascination>, there was never a case where the effects of <Fascination> didnt take hold.

Hey

What?

He looked back.

She couldnt say anything.

Because she couldnt feel anything in his eyes.

It was going to be bad.

Walking down the hallway, Eunha remembered what had happened in the room.

Even though he didnt have any sexual desire, there was no way to avoid having his eyes wander.

Oh Yeon-jung was a beautiful woman.

She didnt have the kind of beauty that anyone could admire, like the fairy Im Gaeul, or the kind of beauty that made you think you were beautiful just by standing still like Lee Yoo-jung, or the kind of beauty that made you smile, like Baekryeon.

However, she was able to use her gift to highlight her beauty.

Under the influence of the Gift, he couldnt help but be unconsciously mesmerized by her.

If the Unnamed Gift hadnt activated

The Unnamed Gift, in the moment of his enchantment, triggered out of nowhere and awakened his dazed mind.

What a gift.

Even <Berserk>, when it took control of his mind, would suddenly activate and bring forth thoughts of murder.

It wasnt a nameless gift.

It was the same thing that freed me from being controlled, but it also cleared my mind.

Without any cost.

It was different from <Berserk>, which would make him go into a frenzy.

What had changed?

The gift couldnt have changed, but what had triggered it and changed its effect?

Inwardly, I felt regret.

If he had known more about his Gift, he might not have died in the Abyssal Dungeon.

Maybe the people who had died for him before that wouldnt have died the way they did.

Dont regret it.

You must not regret.

He walked down the hallway, shaking off the guilt that suddenly came to him.

Even now, monsters were storming the hotel.

Outside the hallway window, darkness loomed. It was roiling and undulating.

So, how were you guys planning on stopping them?

The pre-hired players were going to defend the people from the monsters.

So the damage shouldnt be too bad.

Did I just ask you that?

How were you going to stop the monsters? We dont know how many monsters are coming, and you didnt think the players here would be able to stop them all, did you?

There are people who are driving the monsters away. When the time comes, the hunters will block the influx of monsters.

When is that time?

Thats.

Oh Yeon-jung stammered.

Oh Yeon-jung blurred the end of his sentence.

Eunha didnt just let her actions slide. It was good to have an attitude of not giving up the mission until the end, peeking for opportunities and not leaking information.

But she had misunderstood her opponent.

He was never a lenient person.

Kaaak-!!!

A gunshot rang out.

She, who had been shot in the shoulder, paled when she saw him aiming at her without any agitation.

Youd better think about it.

Yeah.

She gritted her lips in pain as she suppressed the surging blood.

She couldnt cry here.

She was sure that if she got on his nerves, she would be killed and left to dry.

The client has instructed.

How?

By phone, received in advance.

Ha.

He ordered her to follow him, and they went down the emergency stairs.

There was no sign of the elevator coming up to the top floor.

Wheres Lee Byung-in?

Hes in the underground auditorium I believe.

This was troublesome.

Threatening Byung-in to abort the operation was one thing.

I had to deal with the monsters that were already here.

I was getting more and more annoyed.

Monsters-!!

Everyone run away!!!

Kaaaak!!!!

Mommy-!!!

Panic erupted in the Dawn Hotel.

Lee Byung-in navigated through the fleeing crowd with determined strides.

Dedicated players drew their weapons, their eyes locked on the monster that had stormed into the hotel lobby.

The hotels resident players and the players hired by the elementary school for the retreat were fighting the monsters.

What do you think we should do?

As planned. Protect the people from the monsters, and kill them when we can.

Got it.

Several players ran off to kill the monsters that had crossed over to the middle of the lobby.

They cooperated with Lee Byung-ins elite players to eliminate the monsters while taking opportunities to strike them down as well.

Find CEO Lee Jeong-in!

Where are you, sir?

Players hired by Lee Jeong-in searched for their employer.

Watching this scene, Lee Byung-in concealed his inner laughter.

His younger brother must be having fun right now.

Dont send them up to the top floor. Put monsters around them so they cant move.

Got it.

Two players jumped on the monsters.

The monsters eyes shifted.

The players under Lee Byung-ins command dragged the monsters away and ran to the people calling Lee Jeong-ins name.

It was pandemonium.

Lee Byung-in watched in amusement as the screams and commotion erupted, protected by his dedicated players.

We need to move quickly to the great hall.

Right.

Byung-in drank the hangover drink handed to him by his entourage and turned away.

In the hotel lobby, there were people who hadnt yet escaped.

Mostly children. Elementary school students who had unfortunately been on a retreat during the time of his scheme.

Byung-in pulled the closest child to him to his feet and shouted at the fleeing people.

Everyone, calm down! Im here, you dont have to worry!

The players will take care of the monsters! Until then, we need to evacuate to the underground auditorium!

Byung-in vomited out his pre-planned lines.

The people who were running away began to move to the underground auditorium under his guidance.

Byung-in was enthusiastic. He offered to go down last, sending people away, supporting the sick, and winning the hearts of many.

Then, among the children descending into the auditorium, he spotted a girl wearing a large ribbon.

She must beAlice Group.

He knew the face of the girl who had been directly incorporated into the Alice Group last year.

The girl had greeted him at a group-friendly party before.

With a ribbon that was as big as her head, it left a strong impression, so it didnt take long for him to recall her.

JungHayang?

-Huh?

As expected.

The girl whose name was called turned around.

It was Jung Hayang, the little girl who was rumored to have captured the heart of Min Jun-sik, the chairman of the Alice Group.

The moment he saw her, Lee Byung-in couldnt help the corners of his mouth turning up.

Alice Group had begun to dominate the potion market and was making a fortune.

One day, when Koreas financial hierarchy was reorganized, Alice Group would be at the top.

That was the consensus in political circles.

So, he thought it wouldnt be a bad idea to take advantage of this opportunity to create some debt with the Alice Group.

Uh.

Ha-yang, do you remember me? Im Lee Byung-in from Dawn Entertainment.

Oh, hello!

Hayang didnt seem to recognize Byung-in.

It was understandable. The event where she had first greeted the business community had many people in attendance, and she must have been nervous back then.

Its dangerous here. Lets go with this Uncle. These people will protect us.

Byung-in pointed to the players protecting him.

Then his gaze fell on the little girl, an Ain, who was holding her hand.

Disgusting girl.

How dare a monsters child hang out with the Alice Groups granddaughter.

Ah.

Come on, lets go with Uncle.

He tried to smoothly detach the Ains hand from Hayangs.

Jung Hayang!

What is that uncle, he looks like an asshole.

Lets just follow him for now.

The remaining kids followed him.

Um, mister I can walk by myself.

You dont know when a monster will appear, so dont worry and stay by Uncles side.

Lee Byung-in didnt listen to Jung Hayangs words.

He smiled, thinking that it would be nice to use the debt he owed to Alice Group to get her engaged to his son.
