Chapter 104 . Entering the Valhalla Dungeon
Kim Sung-hee couldn’t believe her eyes .
‘W-With just the two of them…!’
The sight of Kang Chul-In and Dorian combining forces to fight off the 500+ men of Alex Rothschild was much too shocking for her .
Not only that, but . . .
‘I tried to fight against that man…?’
Now realizing that she had severely and incredibly underestimated Kang Chul-In’s strength, she couldn’t lift her head .
‘Hah… how stupid and arrogant must I have seemed to him? I must have been crazy . ’
She wasn’t an idiot .
Though she was known as the daughter to a major conglomerate in Korea and was born with a gold spoon in her mouth, she wasn’t someone that couldn’t think for herself .
“Hey, eyewitness!”
Kang Chul-In called her from afar .
“ . . . Yes?”
At the word ‘eyewitness’, Kim Sung-hee’s face stiffened .
“W-Wait a minute!”
Almost wetting her pants out of fear, Kim Sung-hee started to take slow steps backwards .
“P-Please…! Can you spare me just this one time?”
Kim Sung-hee realized that in Pangaea, her status as the daughter of a big, powerful company was of no use whatsoever .
She knew that her life was in the hands of Kang Chul-In .
Pft---
Kang Chul-In smirked .
“ . . . !”
Kim Sung-hee froze in place, scared of what would come next .
“I like the fact that you aren’t too stupid and dull . At least you don’t want to die, huh?”
Kang Chul-In said .
“T-Then…!”
“Hey, you fly . ”
Kang Chul-in once again called out .
“Fly?”
“Yeah, you . I called you a fly because you keep buzzing around us like a mosquito or a fly would . If you don’t like it, then…”
‘He called me a fly… But, I’m still a girl, you know? How can he be so mean…’
Although Kim Sung-hee’s pride was deflated…
“N-No, it’s alright . You might not know my name, right?”
She could still endure it . At least she could keep her precious life .
“Kim Sung-hee, right?”
“Yes…”
“I know your name . ”
Hearing this, Kim Sung-hee tried her best to suppress her anger, and looked at Kang Chul-In’s face, speechless .
‘How can someone be so frustrating and annoying?!’
Looking at Kang Chul-In’s slight smile, Kim Sung-hee tried her best to calm herself down .
Kang Chul-In then continued with,
“Hey, I need you to complete a task for me . ”
Kang Chul-In wanted to use Kim Sung-hee .
He would try and use her to put Aleister into a trap .
-----
“This is a chance for you, fly . ”
Kang Chul-In wanted to make a deal with her . josei
“This task… this task is an opportunity?”
“Yeah . ”
“I don’t understand? How will a task you give me be an opportunity?”
As the words ‘opportunity’ and ‘chance’ piqued her interest, Kim Sung-hee futhered inquired .
“I’ll give you strength . ”
“ . . . !”
“It seems like you want to get stronger, no? Of course, it will be nigh impossible for you to become as powerful as me, or even this pushover over here . ”
Kang Chul-In stared at Dorian and spoke .
“I already told you, I’m not a pushover…!”
“Whatever you say, pushover . ”
Kang Chul-In didn’t care whether Dorian got upset or not .
“I’ll make you two to three times stronger than you are now . ”
“ . . . Really?”
“Of course . ”
“If that’s the case, it must be a very difficult ‘task’ . ”
“Of course it is . This is a task where you need to put your life on the line . If you are able to complete it successfully, I’ll make you stronger . But if you fail…”
“I would die?”
“No . ”
“No?”
“You would suffer a fate even worse than dying . ”
Kim Sung-hee couldn’t understand what kind of task required her to take a risk that was ‘worse than dying’ .
‘This is madness!’
Although she wanted to reject this offer right now…
‘ . . . He might kill me if I reject this proposal . I’m an eyewitness, after all . ’
“Are you scared?”
“Yes . . . of course I am . ”
“Then don’t do it . ”
“But if I reject it…”
“I won’t kill you . ”
“Of course you won’t… Huh?!”
Kim Sung-hee was startled .
“Really? You won’t kill me?”
Kim Sung-hee then realized how insignificant she was in the eyes of Kang Chul-In, and how she was just a small, passing existence .
“Then, can I hear the contents of the task first?”
“Don’t ask me . My thoughts are that if you truly wanted to become powerful, you wouldn’t care about the methods . So, I’ll ask you one last time . Will you do it?”
Kang Chul-In had a tendency to look at people who stayed true to their desires on a high pedestal, and Kim Sung-hee was someone who fit that criteria well .
“ . . . Yes, I think I will . ”
-------
After washing their bloodied bodies in a nearby stream, Kang Chul-In and Dorian immediately headed into the underground passage that leads to the Valhalla dungeon .
‘It’s been a while’ .
Kang Chul-In reminisced of the past, remembering ‘the old days’ before he had reincarnated .
But…
This sensation didn’t last for too long .
Because suddenly, a message popped up in front of his eyes .
[Can you handle ‘their’ rage and hatred?]
