Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!

A few seconds passed before the guards came back carrying two people and dragging a third one violently. The third person was resisting violently but because he was still at the back lines, Talon couldn't see him.

"Hm? Soomin! Shin-Il!" Seeing the two students, he rushed toward them. "Put them down."

The guards immediately lowered the two down to the ground. After that, Talon crouched next to them and inspected their conditions. The two were unconscious with some bruises here and there on their bodies.

But, other than that, he couldn't see any noticeably dangerous injuries. They also didn't seem like they were starved or dehydrated which was a good thing.

'So he really didn't torture them as much as I expected.' He thought to himself as he exhaled a small breath of relief.

Even though he only knew these two for a short time, he still considered them as his allies. One of the very first people he met after the end of the world. Seeing them still alive made him feel happy.

"Still, I need to get them back to Iseul to check up on them. I don't know if they're fully fine or not yet." He murmured to himself as he looked up at the guards.

"Carry them carefully and make sure not to harm them."

"Yes, sir!"

As Talon was about to stand up, his eyes coincidentally fell on a commotion happening at the back.

"Let me go, bastards!! What the fuck are you doing?! I'm under the boss' protection! Fuck you! Ouch!"

"Who is there?"

"He is Ryan Seok, sir. We found him in the warehouse and he helped us capture these two."

"Ryan Seok… Ugh, who was that again?" Talon frowned as he tried to recall who they were talking about. The name sounded familiar but it still took him a good second to remember their identity.

"Oh! Ryan Seok? That creepy man?"

"I said let me go, bastard! Be careful, that's my hand!"

At that moment, a man was pushed forward as he fell in front of Talon.

"What was that fo-" As he rubbed his back from the hit, Ryan Seok's eyes fell on Talon who was standing in front of him. "..."

Immediately, he froze in place. His brain stopped working as if it was hit with an overload of information at once.

"Been a while. You seem like you're faring well." Talon said in a calm tone.

"H-Huh? O-Oh yeah, thank you, sir! I'm glad you're fine too!" Ryan Seok replied with a nervous look on his face.

"Good, good, it must've been tough for you. Sucking Cha Kwang's toes must require a lot of practice, no? Is that how you convinced him to let you work under him?" Talon asked.

"Wait, a second sir! You got something wrong!"

"Mhm… What did I get wrong?" Talon asked as he snapped his finger, creating an Azure Flame in the palm of his hand.

"Hiiiih!!" Immediately, Ryan Seok dragged himself back in fear.

"Come on, explain. What did I get wrong?" Talon approached him slowly as he asked again.

"I had no other choice!! He was going to kill me! I had to protect my wife and kid!!" He yelled.

"And where are they now?"

"They're… I… They…" Immediately, the man started fumbling with his words.

Talon could see that Ryan Seok was lying. It didn't take a genius to know the truth of what he actually did and it only made Talon even more angry.

"Where are the women you held hostage in here?" He asked as he looked around him.

"They're here, sir." A guard yelled as he opened the door as a group of women walked in.

Talon could count exactly 7 of them along with a small kid being carried by one of them. They all looked equally exhausted with bruises all over their bodies. They had terrified looks on their faces.

"Why did you get us out? Does the boss need us all?" A woman asked the guards warily. She had a wild look on her face as she stood in front of the group of women as if she were defending them. "We already served him today. There is no reason for a second time, is it?"

"Hey, Emi. Don't say that. You will get in serious trouble." Another girl whispered to her.

"No, this isn't fair! We had enough of this!"

"Calm down." One of the guards tried to calm her down, only for her to glare at him angrily.

"No, leave us alone!! You already took Hi-Ah! Have you no shame?! You sick bastards!!"

Seeing the commotion, Talon approached the women.

"Cha Kwang is dead." He said.

"Huh?"

"I killed him. He won't harm you anymore, you can relax."

"How…"

"It's too long to explain. But, you're all free now. You don't have to be under anyone's control anymore."

It took the women a few seconds to understand what happened before they all broke down in tears. They couldn't believe what they were hearing.

The pain and suffering they went through in the past few weeks came out as they hugged each other tightly.

"Leave them alone for now. They deserve a moment." Talon said as he turned around. "As for you… You… I won't kill you…" He added while looking at Ryan Seok.

The latter stayed in his place, unable to even move under the immense pressure Talon was putting on him.

"I will leave your destiny for Soomin and Shin-Il to decide on. Get some ropes and tie him, we're bringing him with us."

"Yes, sir!"

***

With that, for the next hour or so, Talon explored the supermarket and made sure that there was nothing left worth his attention in there. He then made sure that the women were fine and healthy enough to move on their own. After that, he made the guards collect all the supplies in the supermarket to carry them back to the warehouse since they all belonged there.

The process was really quick with the huge number of men that he had under his control at that moment.

"If you feel any pain or discomfort, tell me, ok? I have some healing potions with me." He declared.

"Thank you! Thank you so much, sir!" One of the women said in a timid tone.

Even though they were still terrified and on the edge, Talon tried his best to calm them down. He knew that they perhaps would never be able to heal from the trauma that was inflicted on them, but at the very least, he knew that they wouldn't have to go through such a thing again. Not under his watch.

"It's fine, you don't need to thank me." He smiled kindly at the woman. "Now, if everyone is ready, we should leave. I have nothing left to do here."

"Yes, sir!"

The group then immediately started moving out of the supermarket. Their numbers were huge, but since the distance wasn't that far, the trip only took 30 minutes.

When they reached the warehouse, Talon found Hyun-Jae waiting outside. It took a few minutes for Talon to explain what happened as the group moved inside the warehouse.

"... All of that happened in the few hours you were away?" Hyun-Jae asked with a speechless look on her face.

"Yeah. It was quite eventful, not gonna lie." He shrugged.

"Still, this is really sudden. So, these men are now under your control completely?"

"Yes, they can't do anything to harm anybody. I think we can use them to expand our plan in Seoul and start paving a path to Gwangju."

"Yeah…" The girl murmured as watched the guards carry all the supplies inside the warehouse. Never did she expect a small trip like this one would get them so many benefits. Not to mention, this was all done by Talon, on his own.

'Whatever he does, it always brings great things. It's as if he's Midas…' She thought to herself as she watched Talon from the side secretly.

The things this man standing next to her had done so far were nothing short of miraculous. Just a month ago, Hyun-Jae was on the verge of losing her mind from fear. Everything that happened after the integration put a huge toll on her mind.

Now, here she was, standing proudly as they fought their way out of hell and slowly created a path on their own. She wasn't afraid of the responsibility anymore. After all, this was now her goal… To carry the burden with Talon.

To make the Midas of miracles reach even higher levels. It was now her purpose in this destroyed world.

"Hey, Hyun-Jae…" At that moment, Talon spoke.

"Mm?"

"What do you think about controlling all of Seoul?" He turned around slowly as he asked her with a deadly serious expression.

"Control Seoul?" Hyun-Jae blinked in surprise.

"Yeah, I have been thinking about it. What's stopping us from making this entire city a base for humans? We're more than capable of doing it and we should do it. That's the only possible future I can think of where everyone I care for along with all the survivors could live in peace." Turning around, Talon stared into the distance. "That's my final goal before I focus on other things…"

'Way more ridiculous things.' He added in his head.
