Chapter 52 – Lion Face (5)

“Yeah?”

Seulbi Kim, who caught the strange part in Ajin Kang’s words, raised her voice.
However, it was Kim Eun-bi, who was sitting next to her, who raised a specific objection.

“Brother, did you go see this woman yesterday?”
“Well…”

How do you explain this?

If I knew this was going to happen, I thought I should tell you in advance that I have the ability to copy the skills of women exposed to the ‘Like for no reason’ skill.
If I said that I went to meet Kang Ah-jin to learn witchcraft, it would roughly explain it.
Actually, that was the purpose.
Having sex was completely accidental.

“That’s not important. Yesterday, Mr. Seong-gi almost got angry because of the hunters sent by Park Hyeon-joon. If I had come a little later, it would have been a big deal.”
“I can’t…”

Thanks to Kang A-jin, who entered with good timing, a crisis was averted.
Eunbi Kim was still looking at me with suspicious eyes, but she seemed to realize what was more important.

“Brother, are you hurt?”
“Yes…”

Seulbi Kim touched her forehead.

“I hope you do it like this. I wonder if he was waiting in front of my house until Sung-gi came out?”
“I guess so. Park Hyeon-joon never misses a goal he set once. Probably won’t give up until someone dies. Or will Mr. Seulbi be his woman?”
“Do you mean that?”

Seulbi Kim said in annoyance.

The table rocked as the mana released from her anger.

Kang Ah-jin sighed, “Huh…”.

“I knew it. All three of us women here have one thing in common. That means I love Mr. Seonggi.”

Oops

Unlike when we were alone, Kang Ah-jin basically gave off a cold and proud atmosphere.
The word ‘love’ came out of such a woman’s mouth.
Would you say it feels heavier than necessary?

I felt like this place was more like a cushion of thorns.

A chilly air swept through the room.

“Love…”

Kim Seulbi bit her lip.

“What are you talking about! You come to someone else’s house and talk carelessly!”

Kim Eun-bi was also angry and shot at him.

“That kind of reaction comes because I love Mr. Seonggi. I can’t help it. We are all already prisoners of Mr. Seonggi. There is no way out of here. No, there will be only one. As I already told Mr. Seulbi, if Mr. Seonggi dies, his powers will also disappear.”

I felt my heart sink with a thump.
How can you sit down and discuss death?

I knew that any of these three women had the ability to easily kill me.
Because of that, Kang Ah-jin’s words did not sound lighter.

“That can’t be done!”

Seulbi Kim said firmly.
She wasn’t as excited as before, but there was a strong determination in her eyes.
It was to the point that I flinched even as I watched him because he said that he would not stay still if he talked about it any longer.

“Yes! I’d rather die!”

Eunbi Kim also said.

An awkward and inexplicable atmosphere filled the space.

If I could, I wanted to get out of this room.
It was fortunate that no one wanted to divide me into thirds like the story of Solomon.

“How long are you going to keep this uncomfortable relationship going? We have to admit We need to get rid of the stereotypes of the secular world.”

Kang Ah-jin said strongly.

Unlike before, Kim Seul-bi and Kim Eun-bi could not refute her words.
Instead, it was a thoughtful expression.

“Aren’t you two frustrated?”

Kang Ah-jin continued.

“I am very frustrated. I think of Sung-gi and I want to touch him and hold him. It’s not comfortable to lie down in bed, and when I fall asleep, I dream of Mr. Aren’t you two like that?”

Seulbi Kim and Eunbi Kim were both silent.
As if he had never been angry, he closed his mouth and looked away quietly.

“I am not saying this for nothing. It wasn’t what I wanted, but I knew Mr. Sunggi later than you two. Even if I were in the shoes of the two of you, I wouldn’t have liked it if one more person suddenly intervened.”
“So?”

Seulbi Kim asked coldly, but her tone was definitely more relaxed than before.

“I will present a condition.”
“What is that?”
“First of all, it’s Mr. Park Hyeon-joon. I will meet Jo Dong-geun.”
“Yeah?”

I was also surprised when I heard it from the side.
Jo Dong-geun was also an S-class hunter.
However, what made him different from other S-class hunters was that his name was considered the best S-class hunter in Korea.
The strongest.

After the appearance of hunters, S-class hunters used to be regarded as beings higher than the president or chaebol head, and in that sense, it was not an exaggeration to say that Jo Dong-geun was the number one person in Korea.

But why did the topic of Park Hyeon-Jun suddenly come up with Jo Dong-Geun?

Unlike me, Seulbi Kim seemed to immediately understand the meaning.

“Are you going to punish Jo Dong-geun for talking about Park Hyeon-joon?”
“Yeah. Actually, there is no other way, right?”
“But Kang Ah-jin is an outsider. There is no reason for Jo Dong-geun to listen to Kang Ah-jin.”
“That’s something you don’t know.”

Kang Ah Jin crossed her legs.

“I have more power than Mr. Seulbi thinks. Let’s just say she knows a lot of people’s secrets.”
“…”

Silence came again.

Without knowing the details, I could guess what Kang A-jin meant.
Her job was to carry out this or that request from high-ranking figures in her shadow.
I learned from internet information that shamans usually do such things.

In other words, Kang Ah-jin knew Jo Dong-geun’s secret, and he would use it as a weapon to prevent Park Hyeon-joon from doing harm to Kim Seul-bi and me.
But would it be that easy?

It was a very dangerous thing to even think about.

“Are you okay? Does she know what she said?”
“Yeah. Jo Dong-geun is a proud man. You’ll think I’m threatening you. And I will never be free from his vigilance.”
“Knowing that, why…”
“Didn’t I tell you? There’s no other way than that. Or are you going to kill Hyeonjun Park?”
“…”
“I’m not saying this because I’m thinking of Seulbi. It’s because I don’t want to put Mr. Sunggi in any more danger.”

A story that was heavier than expected was coming and going.

From a general point of view, Park Hyeon-joon was acting like a bully to stalkers.

However, the meaning of such bullying is different if it is performed by an S-class.
Even though Kim Seul-bi is the same S-class hunter and Kang Ah-jin is a similarly talented person, it was not easy to deal with one S-class hunter.

If you can’t kill, revenge will follow.
And, as Kang A-jin said earlier, it wouldn’t end unless someone died.

I was likely to end up like a shrimp caught in a whale fight.

Park Hyeon-joon would not kill Seul-bi Kim, but there was a high possibility that he would sacrifice me even to relieve his anger.

“You understand?”

Kang Ah-jin asked again as if to confirm.

Seulbi Kim bit her lower lip and then nodded her head.

“Yeah. There must be no other way. Thanks.”

The words of thanks came out of Seulbi Kim’s mouth.
It was unbelievable compared to her reaction when Ah Jin Kang first came to this house.

Beside her, Kim Eun-bi was also silent with her lips sticking out.

I don’t really like Kang A-jin, but she seemed to know that this was the only way she could.

To be honest, I couldn’t understand all of the conversations going on right now because I was deliberately trying not to pay attention to the world of hunters.

It can only be vaguely guessed that Jo Dong-geun is a being with great power even among S-class hunters.

“Whoa…”

After she said what she wanted to say, Kang A-jin let out a long breath as if she felt relieved.
Then she hardened her face again and she said.

“There is another one.”
“Yeah?”
“If you two acknowledge and accept me, I will present one more thing.”

Kim Seul-bi and Kim Eun-bi looked at Kang Ah-jin with curious expressions.
I wondered what she was trying to say at first, but she soon realized something and thought, ‘I can’t believe it…’.

And my expectations were not wrong.

“S-rank and A-rank hunters cannot have sex with an opponent of a lower rank than themselves. Even if you succeed with difficulty, it will leave a huge physical and mental damage.”
“What is that…”
“…”

It was felt that Seulbi Kim and Eunbi Kim’s concentration increased dramatically.

“I’ve been researching for the past few days to see if there is a way to solve it.”
“No way…”
“Did you find out?”

Kang Ah-jin smiled when she saw Kim Seul-bi and Kim Eun-bi showing interest.

“Yeah. It was a bit unstable until yesterday, but I figured out a way to fill in the gaps. It may not be perfect, but if you use my magic, you will be able to achieve what you want.”
