Infinite System Inheritor Return From The Abyss

Jana walked closer to the terrified staff lady, her small figure looming over her. She leaned in and whispered softly into the lady's ear, her breath cold and deliberate.

"Remember this: be careful with your words. Sometimes they can hurt more than you think."

The lady shuddered at the whisper, her fear evident as she nodded shakily. Jana straightened up and gave a final, piercing look before turning on her heel and walking towards the door.

She stopped just before leaving and looked back. "If you ever think of saying something mean about my brother again, remember this moment."

With that, she walked out of the storage room, leaving the lady trembling and alone in the dim light.

The lady, trembling, slumped to the floor as she wiped away her tears. A sigh of relief escaped her lips as she muttered,

"Just how the hell is that useless guy connected to Ms. Hye? If only I had recognized that he was with her earlier, I would have kept my mouth shut. Argh!" She stood up, smoothing out her clothing, and prepared to head to the restroom.

As she stepped out of the storage room, she crossed paths with Nathan and Elshienne. She immediately moved aside and bowed deeply.

"Have you seen Ahye?" Nathan asked. While still bowing, the staff lady pointed in a direction.

"Ms. Hye went that way, sir."

"Thanks," Nathan said, his tone brisk.

Elshienne muttered, "Why do we have a spoiled sister? Ugh, Hye! Where are you?" He shouted for Ahye as they walked off.

Once they were gone, the staff lady headed to the restroom, her mind still reeling from the earlier encounter. She adjusted her makeup, grumbling under her breath,

"F*ck those Hamilton! That kid, acting all high and mighty with that fake sword. As if she really scared me."

Suddenly, her eye caught something in the sink. Her blood ran cold as she saw her own tongue lying there, dripping with blood. Horrified, she clutched her throat as blood began to pour from the wound. Her screams echoed through the restroom as she collapsed to the floor.

Outside the restroom, Jana leaned against the door, her expression twisted into a smirk that didn't belong on a five-year-old's face. Her small sword glistened with fresh crimson, and she carefully wiped the blood off with the edge of her sleeve.

"Badmouthing my family, huh?" she muttered, her voice low, almost playful. She chuckled softly, a sound that would have sent shivers down anyone's spine had they heard it. "People should learn to keep their mouths shut."

She twirled the small sword between her fingers, almost like a toy, her blue eyes glowing with a strange intensity.

Jana hugged her plushie shark tightly against her chest, her small fingers gripping its soft fabric. She giggled softly to herself, then reached up and clicked her hairpin with a swift motion. In an instant, her brown hair shimmered, shifting like liquid silver, turning into a striking white that cascaded down her shoulders.

Her blue eyes sparkled even brighter against the stark contrast of her new hair color. She adjusted her hairpin with a little smile, then turned just as Nathan and Elshienne came storming down the hallway, looking frustrated.

"There you are! Where did you go?!" Nathan demanded, his voice filled with annoyance, while Elshienne crossed her arms, her gaze sharp and impatient.

Jana looked up at them, her eyes wide with feigned innocence. "Hehee, sorry, brother, sister," she replied, a playful grin spreading across her face. "I just wanted to explore a bit! But I'm ready now. Let's go back!"

Nathan sighed, rubbing the back of his neck in exasperation. "You can't just wander off like that, Ahye. We've talked about this."

As they walked through the hallways, Jana turned her head up toward Elshienne, curiosity dancing in her bright blue eyes.

"Did you see the guy with Sister Alexa and Brother Alex?" she asked, her voice carrying a playful lilt.

Elshienne scoffed a little, folding her arms tighter as they continued down the corridor.

"Yeah, we saw him," she replied with a hint of annoyance. "he had the nerve to insult one of the swords Dad found. Can you believe that?"

Nathan chuckled softly beside her. "He's a returnee his probably don't know dad, just What kind of idiot insults Dad's swords?" he added, shaking his head in disbelief.

Jana's lips curled into a small, knowing smile as she listened to them. She hugged her shark plushie tighter, feeling a strange excitement bubbling up inside her. Her thoughts wandered back to Seojun — the warmth of his presence, the kindness in his eyes, the way he treated her like a real friend.

"Can't wait to meet you again, Brother Seojun," she thought to herself, her smile growing wider. "Don't worry... As a friend, I will protect you."

She looked down, hiding the sly grin on her face, while her siblings continued to chatter beside her. The thought of protecting him made her giggle quietly, feeling a strange sense of purpose settling in her chest.

She skipped a little as she walked, her plushie shark swinging by her side, her heart feeling light and mischievous. After all, there was something exciting about having a secret… and a new friend to protect.

Meanwhile, An hour later Seojun and the twins were walking through the bustling streets, Seojun glanced over at Alexa, who was tightly gripping a small gadget that emitted a faint beeping sound.

"Is that really working?" Seojun asked skeptically, raising an eyebrow at the device.

Alexa furrowed her brows in frustration. "It should be!" she replied, her voice tense with impatience. "But it's acting up again…"

Alex leaned over, glancing at the gadget. "I think it's broken, sis," he said casually, earning a sharp glare from his sister.

With a frustrated huff, Alexa stomped her foot and threw the gadget into a nearby trash can. "Ugh! How can we find Auntie now?!"

Seojun clicked his tongue in mild annoyance.
