Episode 249
The secret hideout of the ‘Ten Horses’ somewhere in Korea.
In the darkness where nothing could be seen, the 8 demons gathered after a long time.
“It’s been a long time since everyone got together like this.”
Someone’s voice came from the darkness. Then another voice came from the other side.
“Not all gathered. There are n’t two of them
.”
At those words, silence fell within the hideout.
two disappeared.
It was referring to Seong-jin and Won-hyeok, S-class demons who died during the mission to find the ‘Child of Prophecy’ last year.
It was sad that a long-time colleague had died, even though the spirits within the Ten Horses were not on good terms.
“Let’s stop talking gloomy and talk about why we’re here today.”
When someone said it, everyone nodded
.
“Han Dae-hyun passed out today?”
“I heard that he collapsed due to a cerebrovascular problem. The big hurdle has been passed, but it is true that there are not many days left to live.”
“Hehe. The time is coming soon for us to go out into the world. Han Se-jin should take over the Hansung Group soon.”
Han Se-jin is a representative pro-main faction.
And he is also one of the few humans who can even hold hands with demons for his own desires.
Ma-in and Han Se-jin were able to fill each other’s needs, so
they had a secret and deep relationship from a long time ago.
All of this was prepared through the ‘prophecy’ given by the first demon king.
“It’s too early to be happy. Han Se-jin hasn’t been confirmed as the next owner yet.”
“hmm? Isn’t it already confirmed?”
“Didn’t you know that Han Se-yeon’s position within the Hansung Group is rising rapidly these days? There are still variables.”
“Han Se-yeon… But these days, the reviews
are good. It is also important in terms of performance. It’s an unexpected ambush.”
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.
Unlike her older brother, Han Se-jin, the younger sister Han Se-yeon’s competence was already known to people all over the world.
“Oh, how did that go? The plan to assassinate Han Se-yeon.”
“Failed. I told you to aim for the timing without security, but it seems there was a mistake. There were two A-class Mine… Tsk.”
Mine’s mixed
voice, which had failed in its mission, was heard.
“I heard that the opponent was Kim Jin-woo.”
“…Kim Jinwoo? Could it be that Mine Hunter?”
When the name Kim Jin-woo was heard, a small commotion broke out inside the hideout.
Among the demons, ‘Kim Jin-woo’ was nicknamed ‘Mine Hunter’ and was as famous as ‘The Child of Prophecy’.
There were also rumors that Kim Jin-woo had the ability to save demons.
“He strangely gets involved with us often
.”
“Hmm. That’s right. But didn’t you say you only sent two A-class mines this time? But Kim Jin-woo defeated them all by himself?”
A demon muttered in a voice that was hard to believe.
At that time, the story about Kim Jin-woo and Hansung Group was going on for a long time.
After the meeting started, someone who had been watching quietly muttered in a low voice.
“…Confused.”
At those words, the interior of the hideout instantly fell silent.
Everyone was silent and looked at the owner of the voice.
Someone was sitting on a huge chair.
He was the ‘king’ of demons.
“The most important child of prophecy could not be found, but this time it is unknown who the owner of Hanseongga will be. It really is a pitiful situation.”
As the king murmured in a disgruntled voice, everyone lowered their heads, avoiding the king’s gaze.
“I will use ‘it’.”
“…what if that?”
“Prepare a sacrifice to activate the Altar of the Prophet.”
Everyone was surprised by the king’s declaration.
Altar of the Prophet.
It was a mysterious name with the power of prophecy.
In order to use that power, a huge number of sacrifices were required, ranging from humans to the spirits of demons and other mysteries.
It was also for that reason that Ma-in did not easily try to see the future even though he possessed the mystery of prophecy.
At the same time, everyone inside the Ten Horse Society was thinking.
…Soon there will be blood in the world.
After the work with the Hansung family, the weekend went off in an instant. And it was Monday, the beginning of the first week.
“hey! Kim Seon-woo! Come with us
“Come with us. I’ll buy you some food!”
“Seniors! Do it with us!”
The wizard academy had already become an exam period atmosphere.
In particular, in this midterm exam, there is a 6-member group assignment that all grades take at the same time, and since each grade can freely form 2 team members, they are receiving a lot of love calls every time they try.
So it’s very annoying.
I’m tired because I have a lot to think about because of Hansung Group and Mine.
“now. Quiet all.”
At my words, about 30 students who wanted to team up with me shut up.
The tumultuous interior of the classroom became quiet at once with my words, and an absurd laugh came out.
What the hell is this?
“Honestly, I don’t know who is who, and I’ll leave it up to you guys to be with me, so after competing on your own, only the winner comes.”
M ? Ah,
as if they hadn’t expected this situation, the students blankly blinked their eyes.
“Did you understand? So, from now on, kill each other. It’s not …… but just go out and share your opinions on your own, and ask only one person to come.”
“ah. okay. I understand.”
The students nodded and began to share their opinions among themselves.
“Uh…then what are we going to compete with? Do you want to play rock-paper-scissors?”
“That’s not much. Let’s fight evenly.”
“You guys decide that and go.”
Whoa Whoa. At the gesture, the students rushed out of the hallway.
Whatever you choose, it will take time and this long one will find me on its own.
It doesn’t matter who it is.
Because there is a ‘rank correction score’, there is an advantage even if you work with members with low grades.
“Whoa.”
After a moment of peace, I rested my chin on my desk and looked out the window.
During lunchtime, I saw students peacefully playing soccer on the playground. I see a familiar face too.
Shin Yeong-jun and Jeon Min-gi and Park In-hwan…
Maybe it was because they were using their magical powers to stare blankly at them, but the movement of the ball was bloody like magic.
In particular, the image of Shin Young-jun, who tackles with a mad laugh, is a madman himself.
…so peaceful.
“…… Tsk.”
Anyway, as I expected, the demons
started to act.
At least something bad could have happened to Han Se-yeon.
Even thinking about it again gives me goosebumps.
I think I have to solve the mine case as soon as possible to put my mind at ease.
In the original work, there was a period when Han Se-jin took control of Han Sung-ga for a while after Han Dae-hyeon died.
It was also at that time that demons ran rampant and caused great confusion in society.
In the infinitely changing world, if even the mines run amok, then the gate to Hell will truly open.
What should I do?
I had a sudden thought.
Thinking about using the wish ticket obtained from Zaun to subdue demons…
If Zaun has the power, he won’t be pushed back too much even if he sticks with the ‘Ten Horses’.
“Hmm.”
While I was admiring the scenery outside the window, thinking about various plans for the future, an alarm popped up in front of me.
It was a text message sent through smartphone synchronization.
Using the benefit of an outsider, the message was immediately confirmed.
[Jinwoo-ssi, I want to repay you for helping me the other day as a token of gratitude. Do you have time today?]
It was Han Se-yeon’s message.
8 o’clock in the evening.
As promised with Han Se-yeon, I visited the ‘Hanseong Medical Center’ where Han Dae-hyun was hospitalized in the form of Kim Jin-woo.
ding.
I got off the elevator and arrived at the VIP ward.
Empty waiting room.
I don’t feel any popularity around me. I can’t see Han Se-jin or Han Se-yeon.
When I opened my smartphone, a message had arrived.
[I think I will be 10 minutes late because of work. sorry. I’ll be there soon!]
About 10 minutes. can wait
I sat on a chair in front of the hospital room.
While waiting for Han Se-yeon, the door to the hospital room opened and someone came out.
At the same time, I felt a tremendous presence and a chill running down my spine.
The strongest sword that protects Han Seong-ga and Han Dae-hyeon.
It was the longevity of the sword demon.
As I bowed my head, Jangsugi crossed his arms and stared at me.
His searching eyes made me nervous.
The skill of longevity is strong enough to be counted among the five fingers in the world.
“I see you often these days. Did you decide to meet the lady?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
He said as he lifted the fruit basket in his hand.
Longevity nodded and
went back into the room. After a while, he came out again and told me.
“The president asks you to come in.”
…Han Dae-hyun?
I wondered, but I nodded and went into the room. I also had a story I wanted to talk to Han Dae-hyun, so it was rather a welcome.
Upon entering, a luxurious room caught my eye.
It’s not like a hospital room, it’s like a top-notch hotel. The view outside the window is especially good.
“Long time no see.”
Han Dae-hyun, who was lying on the bed, said to me. He said he had collapsed, and now the appearance in front of me gave me the impression that he was healthier than I thought.
“Long time no see. Are you feeling well?”
“It’s okay. sit in front I was supposed to meet you the other day, but it was quite late.”
I sat on a chair in front of the bed.
Han Dae-hyun stared at me and opened his mouth.
“I heard you came with Seyeon on Saturday?”
“I was with you because I had a personal appointment with you
.”
“I was attacked, but I heard you protected Seyeon. Thank you so much.”
“no.”
Han Dae-hyun nodded and thought for a moment.
“Let’s continue the story from our last meeting. Are you sure you did? It can solve my troubles.”
When I met Han Dae-hyun, I definitely said that to get his attention.
Han Dae-hyun’s worry is regret about what he did in the past.
It was sorry for the brothers who fought to become the owners of Hanseongga.
He feared that the same thing would happen again to his children.
The reason he picked Han Se-jin as the next owner was because he didn’t want to encourage competition between his children.
However, Han Se-yeon was the one who inherited ‘greed’ more than anyone else in the Hanseong family.
It is an inevitable fate for those who have inherited the blood of Hanseongga for the two to compete for the title of Hanseongga
.
“We can help, even if it’s not a complete solution.’
“How are you going to help? Do you know what my troubles are?”
After thinking about it, I opened my mouth.
“I felt that Vice Chairman Han Se-jin inherited a lot of the cruel side of the president.”
Did you hear my words suddenly? Han Dae-hyeon had doubts in his eyes.
“…What are you talking about
?”
“Aren’t you worried that Vice Chairman Han Se-jin will harm General Manager Han Se-yeon?”
At my words, Han Dae-hyun kept his mouth shut. There was no change in his expression, but he could tell by the look in his eyes that he was agitated.
“I know. If the chairman passes away, Vice Chairman Han Se-jin will never leave Se-yeon Han alone.”
Han Dae-hyeon did not show any reaction, as if he knew about it.
“From generation to generation, the people of Hanseongga
have not let go of people who might get in their way.”
This is not information that only I know, but it is actually written in the history of this world.
I said to Daehyun Han.
“I will take responsibility and protect Han Se-yeon. If you don’t believe me, I’ll make you a blood oath
.
The door opened with a squeaking sound.
I stopped talking and looked in the direction of the door.
Han Se-yeon was looking at me with surprised eyes.
