Chapter 429 – Crossing the Line Too Much

@@

Night when the sun goes down.
In a deserted alleyway, there was a person emitting faint white and red lights.
It was Stella and Sylvia.

“Whoa… Whooup…”

Stella took several deep breaths, trying to keep her calm.
My heart beats constantly, and cold sweat flows from my whole body due to tension.
Seeing her like that, Sylvia said as if tossing her.

“Calm down. Nothing as big as you imagine.”

They are currently in Daejeon.
It was to wipe out a place with an appropriate scale among the criminal organizations that are starting to rise again these days.
Stella, unable to calm her mind and body even with Sylvia’s encouragement, spoke.

“Sah, because I thought I was hitting people… I got scared…”

“There are many ways to subdue without hitting. Ordinary people can’t follow our speed with their eyes. But I don’t recommend it. If you try to subdue it too peacefully, it will take a long time, and they may take hostages.”

“Then… Do I have to resort to violence?”

“Why? Are you embarrassed to be human?”

“Yes…”

“It’s good to be honest. But did you, Jihyeok, hear about the organization we are going to wipe out?”

“They’re just bad guys…”

“He’s a bad guy. It’s also very vicious… They’re trafficking children by catching them. So far, many children have been sold all over the world.”

“Yes…?”

At those words of disbelief, Stella’s expression instantly frowned.
Sylvia let out her shallow sigh.

“These days, they are very active, but the government is letting go. So that’s what we’re dealing with. Don’t have any personal affection for these guys.”

“…. Yes.”

Stella, whose tremors stopped and her eyes sunk.
The corners of Sylvia’s mouth went up slightly as she looked at her.

“Are you ready?”

“Yes, senior.”

“Great. I’ll go.”

After saying that, Sylvia immediately soared towards her air.

Whoaaah-!

Then, a strong wind lifted the skirt of Stella’s suit.

“Mom…”

In a moment of embarrassment, Stella quickly tucked her skirt together.
Then she flew up into the air after Sylvia.
That’s how the two arrived at the entrance of the criminal organization’s stronghold recorded on the device.

“I’ll go first, so come after me.”

Sylvia’s horse blowing her red hair in the wind of her blade.
Stella replied, thinking she thought something was cool.

“I know.”

Sylvia nodded her head at her answer mixed with her firm will, and took a deep breath.
After,

Wedge-Ae-Ae-!

She charged towards her ground at breakneck speed.

Aaaaang-!

A great roar and rising dust.
After spitting on her lips once, Stella slipped through the entrance Sylvia had made.
And what she saw in it,

“What! Fuck!”

They were ferocious-looking men who spat out curse words.
Dust from the destruction of building materials.
One member of the gang noticed the two silhouettes visible inside and moved closer to them.

“Something like a dog happened…”

He brushed away the dust with his hand and approached,

“Uh… Uh…?”

He checked Sylvia and Stella and instinctively took a step back.

“Ka, isn’t that Caroline…? Even Rosé…!”

Stella was a bit surprised that they recognized her right away.
But he quickly regained his cool.
It was because he knew how famous Beast Slayer was.

In addition, the headquarters regularly clears out criminal groups.
From the point of view of the criminals, the Beast Slayer was an enemy outside the standard.
You will think of me as a reaper from hell.
When I think about it, it doesn’t make sense that I can’t recognize it.

“Oh my…”

Knock-!

“Ouch!”

The man who was about to say something spat out a short death sentence.
The man collapsed backwards, showing his white eyes.
Sylvia, who knocked him down, scanned her surroundings with her sharp eyes.

‘That looks like a concussion… Will it be okay…?’

Stella, who was worried about the man who had collapsed without her knowledge, came to her senses with a startle.
Aren’t these child traffickers?
These people shouldn’t worry.

As the dust slowly cleared, I could see the scene inside.
An ugly man panicking, Kakdugi pulling out his gun…
There was even a rice cake stick that pulled out a heavy machine gun. Where would you get that?

After coming here, there is no tension at all.
Do you know that they are people far below you? Probably so.
Stella, who had been thinking about this and that while looking around for a short time, narrowed his brows as the strange smell stung his nose.

“…?”

Following the smell, I turned my gaze, and among the many open rooms, I saw children wearing ragged clothes in a corner room.
My age is roughly 7 or 8 years old.
There were even small children who looked almost four or five years old.

Overall, it’s groggy because I couldn’t even wash it.
It seems that these children are the children kidnapped by criminals.
Stella’s stomach suddenly swelled up, and when a little boy with scars came out from the room next to him, his eyes widened.

Signs of strong abuse.
Even though he is a child who is not good at controlling his emotions, he is trying hard to put on a calm expression.
If it hurts, it means you hit more.

“This person…!”

The same person… How could you dare to do this?
Also for young children.
Stella, completely outraged,

Fit-!

She moved first before Sylvia could even move, and ran toward the nearest gang member who was about to open fire.

Awesome!

“Oops!”

One kick, the sound of bones breaking, and a short scream.
The gang member, whose ribs were shattered like that, collapsed on his side and foamed at the mouth.

The first time someone hit me
But I didn’t feel any discomfort at all.
Maybe it’s because they’re so heinous that you don’t even think they’re human.

Clap-!

The sound of something breaking came from behind.
Sylvia also initiated her actions.
Stella, her fists shaking, moved her body, thinking she’d have to deal with these unhuman things ASAP.

[Next news. Recently, a serious criminal group that was rampant across the country was simultaneously wiped out by the Beast Slayers. The news that the Beast Slayer Headquarters, a private organization, acted on behalf of the government is receiving favorable reviews from the public. Currently, the government is not announcing a separate position…….]

Stella, who was watching TV, couldn’t hide her satisfaction.
No matter which channel he turned, he was praising himself and his teammates.
Netizens’ reactions were also praised. I was so excited.

I was happy. It is when others believe in you and send words of support.
The happiest thing was that the children entrusted to Ji-hyeok were able to live a good life in a good facility.
He said that he had chosen the shelter carefully, so he would quickly heal the wounds of his past, and he would become a great person as he grew up with the donations from the head office.

She was a Beast Slayer who was chosen by the mysterious Aether and was forced to become a Beast Slayer, but there was never a time when she didn’t want to do it.
Moreover, this incident made me think that it was heaven at all.

However, to be honest, it seemed that there was almost no accumulation of practical experience.
Just learned a little how to deal with multiple enemies?
Still, I was very satisfied. More than when he was recognized by Darnil.

Stella, who couldn’t hide her excitement as she even crossed her legs, jumped up as soon as she heard the door lock being pressed at the front door.

Clap!

The door opened and Ji-hyeok, who had longed to see her, came back and took off her shoes.
Stella, who had run up and down toward him, jumped up and patted him on the butt as reporter Ahn and Ji-hyeok let out a low laugh.
Then he asked.

“What have you been doing late?”

“I just… Unpacked and waited for you. What about the kids? How did it go?”

“As planned, they were entrusted to a shelter connected to us. I’m sorry I’m late with paperwork.”

“I did a good job, but why am I sorry…! Do not say that. Are you hungry? Shall I cook you some rice? What do you want to eat today? Pasta? Or, since it’s late, can I make you a simple sandwich?”

Stella chattering with God.
Jihyeok, who put her on the table, replied.

“Let’s get it from the convenience store. Don’t just make this and that.”

“Is that so? By the way…”

Stella slurred.
It was because he found that Jihyeok’s eyes were quite wide.
Well, I did just that.
The five Beast Slayers would have had to take care of the cleanup of the organization with the doctor.

Stella said, gently pressing her thumb under his eyes.

“Oppa, your dark circles have come down a lot… He must have been tired from dealing with work… Would you like to just stay here? I will buy it.”

“Not to that extent. Let’s buy a sandwich from the convenience store before washing up, sit down in the park, eat, and come back.”

When you are with Jihyeok, you realize what love is every day.
To the point where I feel new positive things every time.
A feeling I’ve never felt before. It was so ecstatic that every day flew by.

She herself has completely fallen for Ji-hyeok.
The thought of him leaving or seeing another woman made his heart ache, and he hated it with all his heart.
He only wanted you to look at him.
Thinking this way, I could understand why Jihyeok asked if he loved him more than Alex yesterday.
Just as she was obsessed with Ji-hyuk to confirm her love, she was the same with Ji-hyeok.

‘Sometimes… Can I tell you? I really liked it…’

I’m stung by my conscience, so don’t do it often… Just sometimes… Only occasionally…
Even thinking about that, Stella grabbed Jihyeok’s hand and left the house.

The two of them stopped by the convenience store to buy food and chatted while sitting on a park bench inside the officetel.
The two, who passed the time feeding each other’s mouths or cracking nonsensical jokes, noticed the big guys looking around from a distance.

‘What…?’

Five or six uglies of generous size.
Stella, nervous for no reason, grabbed Jihyeok’s arm and asked.

“What are those people…? Aren’t they the criminals who came to retaliate against us?”

“They don’t know who we are.”

“Ah, yes… Then why are you here? Who borrowed money…?”

“You can’t judge people by their appearance. They may not be the people you think they are.”

“But… You look so grim… I think you just scare people away.”

“Well… It would be better not to get involved. Let’s get up and go in.”

Jihyeok takes out the garbage.
Stella looked around with a worried face and said.

“Shouldn’t I help?”

“Who?”

“People are… Scared.”

Besides this, there were other reasons.
Is it because he came after wiping out non-humans?
Seeing those big ones made me feel very uncomfortable.
The thought of breathing the same air with him is disgusting.

“You want to intervene?”

I wanted to.
However, thinking about Ji-hyeok, who had to clean uphehesitated.
You must have worked hard today… I think it gives you a sense of work again.
Did you notice your own heart like this?
Jihyuk smiled and said.

“You can do it. It’s over if you just stun it. I’ll report it to the police, so go somewhere deserted and transform. When the situation is over, go to the roof of the officetel.”

“Is that okay…?”

“Go now. Hurry.”

“Ah, yes…!”

Hearing Jihyeok’s words, Stella ran through the trees in the park.
And after making sure there were no people around, I double-tapped the device.
Lowering her energy as much as possible, when she floated in the air and returned to Ji-hyeok,

“That’s right, boy. Song Ji-hyeok.”

“Who are you?”

“I don’t know, I follow you.

Jihyeok was already threatened by his size.
The moment she saw that, something boiled inside Stella.
Ji-hyeok is not a person for whom a lower-class life like them would give in.
He was the most important person on Earth, and he deserved to be praised.

Stella, who had unknowingly divided the ranks between people, rushed at the big man without thinking about it anymore.

“I think you lost today…”

Quick-!

The big man’s jaw lifted as he tried to say something.
Two yellow teeth protruding from inside the mouth.
Stella, who fired a kick relentlessly, glared at the remaining guys without looking at him as he collapsed helplessly to the floor without even screaming.

“Ro, Rosé…! Roseda…!”

Of course, the big guys who know their faces.
The way he steps backwards looks servile, the exact opposite of how he was energetic earlier.
Insignificant people. I don’t understand why they lower their value so much.

The big men who were in a state of confusion soon began to run for their lives.
Not wanting to cause much trouble now, Stella tried to release the transformation after seeing them completely disappear.

But the eyes around me were too concerned.
The expression of ordinary citizens full of longing. Although he was happy, he was also a little annoyed that he seemed to be interrupting his date with Jihyeok.

In the end, Stella had no choice but to head to the rooftop without talking to Ji-hyeok.
As she came down after unraveling her transformation, she met Ji-hyeok.

“Good work.”

Her hand stroking her own hair is so warm, it becomes her will.
She should hurry up, kiss Jihyeok, and sleep in his warm arms.
Stella, who thought so, twitched her forehead at Ji-hyeok’s words that followed.

“Would you like to go up first? I have business to deal with.”

“Process…? Ah… Turn that fainting man over to the cops? Other people will do it.”

“That’s not it. The person you knocked out knew me.”

“Yes…?”

Stella opened her eyes wide and replayed her earlier events in her mind.
Certainly… That size was evident.
This guy Song Ji-hyeok is right, follow me.
At the time, my body was so hot with anger that I didn’t have time to think about anything else… But looking at it now, it was definitely strange.

“Before you transformed, you looked at me and shouted that you found it. I think they were aiming for me in the first place. If they had known I was from headquarters, they would have shot me without saying anything.”

“Then what is it…?”

“I have to find out now. Hurry up.”

“I will follow you from behind. What if those people are waiting outside and try to harm your brother?”

“The police just came, but it’s okay because I’m going with them. You go and tell Sehwa what just happened. And…”

Jihyeok, speechless, took Stella’s hand and lowered it.
It was because she was biting her thumb nail.
After checking the condition of Stella’s nails, Jihyeok sighed.

“I didn’t want to do it these days, but it’s like this again. I told you not to do this.”

“This is just a habit…”

“It’s a big deal really… It’s going to ruin all of her fingernails.”

It’s such a big deal to just bite her nails…
Ji-hyeok, who puts himself first while there are bigger things to come, is both happy and stupid.
Stella, who entered Ji-hyeok’s arms and hugged him with a choo-im-sae saying ‘Ph-hing…’ Thought.

I just want to spend a sweet time with Ji-hyeok, but these days, I keep worrying about things.
It’s annoying, and it’s not worth it.
