Chapter 91: Page One
Jaehwang was irritated by the drama so he walked towards the TV to get the remote.
“I know, this is boring for you isn’t it?” The spirit said.
“Not that.” At first, Jaehwang couldn’t think of a way to explain the spirit to him but then he got an idea and asked the spirit,
-What about that surprising thing?
-Of course! Deojun is not that lady’s son! But then, who really is his mother? ...No way, could it be the housekeeper? If not then could it be the company’s chairman second wife?
The spirit said not knowing about what Jaehwang meant. The moment she saw the drama on the TV, the spirit suddenly came out to watch it. Jaehwang started to feel at ease at it seemed like they were all about to die and the show would be over.
-Does this drama air on Wednesdays and Thursdays?
-I guess...? don’t know.
Jaehwang replied in a bored tone.
-I have to know so I can find it again...
The spirit said and Jaehwang then asked,
-Is there something wrong with the spirit tablets?
-Yes. They broke into a million pieces.
-How did that happen?
Jaehwang asked again. He didn’t understand why the spirit brought that up, he almost gotten swept away in that explosion.
-Hmm... You said that I saved you but I didn’t protect you when you needed help. There was no way that I could save them all you know.
-I guess so... Sorry.
She replied on a sorry note. How everything went wasn’t exactly the problem but if she eventually got hurt due to a miscalculation, then she could be in a lot of danger. Even though the Oaks were strong, they didn’t think they could do so much damage to Justin Point. Obviously, the Samjeon church’s Bileons should be blamed but they should not be that careless.
-It’s okay. If I ever died then that would mean you broke our pact. Hahahaha.
The spirit said.
Jaehwang then started to look even more confused than before. He thought about what he would do without her help. He didn’t know what he would do without her.
-But it’s fine, there’s nothing to worry about.
-What do you mean?
-Well, don’t I have a strange fate too? Here, take this.
An object then suddenly appeared in Jaehwang’s hand. It’s the tiara that the spirit had found.
Bloody mary’s Tiara- Ancient Artifact
Successor: Jeon Jaehwang
Material: Platinum, Diamonds
Special Skill:
Control
Purification
When Dongchul faked his loss of intelligence, the spirit used that artifact and it helped them to distinguish the truth.
-Why are you giving me this?
-Because I don’t need it anymore.
The spirit had accumulated a lot of energy and power, she no longer needs it. She gave it to Jaehwang because she figured that he might still need some extra help sometimes.
-What does it do?
Jaehwang asked and the spirit began to explain.
-It will give you lots of strength and it’ll help to keep us both alive. It also understands the fundamentals of magic.
-Fundamentals?
-Yes. The fundamentals... Don’t ask much since it’ll still be difficult for you to understand. But, I can tell you a little about the purification fundamentals and its improvements. I could now maintain my limit because of that~ Use it as you please but it’s okay if you don’t need it.
-Hm... Huh?
Jaehwang was sold at its use. He didn’t care for its worth but it cost him a lot just to buy a piece of equipment that could help him maintain his energy. He was relieved to have it as he had already spent so much on that so far. He couldn’t imagine having such a rare artifact as that one.
Jaehwang smiled. He couldn’t be angry at the fact of the spirit helping him. It was great that she didn’t need it anymore.
-So I... can I... does it work great?
-Well, you might feel a little bit sleepy when you’re absorbing energy.
The spirit answered casually. He had to worry about his strength but he had that covered.
-Hm... Okay. That’s a relief. But, how good is it with healing? Would it improve what I had before?
-That’s something I wanted to know too but that’s not it. Its efficiency is a bit of a problem.
If I had to explain it, it fuels up the skills that you use and it could improve your average-rate energy and make it greater. However, I don’t know the standard healing rate for it yet.
-I see.
-The tiara is all yours now. It would look cute on you too...
-No thanks.
-Why? You would look so good wearing it.
Jaehwang then looked over to Dongchul.
“What?” Dongcul gave him a confused look.
“Why do you look so nervous?”
“Don’t worry about me, just worry about yourself” Dongchul replied. “What do you mean?”
Jaehwang then smiled and answered, “Be careful of your fate.”
Dongchul felt chills.
Fate? Could he find it at the bottom of the cliff? Jaehwang’s expression made it look like he would really push him off.
“Hey, what are you talking about?”
“It won’t be fun if I tell you now. You’ll find out,” Jaehwang replied.
“Aren’t you being a bit creepy?”
“Don’t worry. No way, are you going to tear off my limbs?”
“Of course not. Why would I do that?”
Jaehwang and Dongchul continued to talk until Rumi walked in.
“Jaehwang Gwanjae is here.”
“Okay.” Jaehwang followed Rumi out of the room and said to Dongchul, “Don’t you ever mention to him that you’re my friend.”
“Ah...” Dongchul then stopped. Jaehwang then looked back and said,
“I’ll be back.”
“Okay,” Dongchul said after realizing that they were off to face a legendary hunter.
Dongchul led the way as Rumi and Jaehwang walked along behind him. The building that they were walking in pierced the sky with its height along with the 50-meter tall and 10-meter thick wall that surrounds it.
It wasn’t a part of Gwanjae’s mansion but he seemed to have been spending a lot of time there recently. When Gwanjae made that place, he considered it to be a huge safe. It had a maximum capacity of 1,000 people and he made sure that it would have everything that they would need to survive aside from all the protection it could give. It also had a basement within the building, giving it even more space after they passed through the entrance.
Jaehwang then lifted his head and saw a red flag.
[Back Story]
50 years ago, humans had run to survive the wave of monsters holding those flags in their hands.
Rumi already had an idea about what Jaehwang and Gwanjae would talk about. Gwanjae was having a meeting at the top of the building so they had assumed that a few people had gathered there. She just guided Jaehwang to the room where Gwanjae was in.
Jaehwang then opened the door and walked inside. Rumi didn’t go with him. He saw four people waiting for him and there was a guy that had a lot of muscles sitting in a chair.
Gwanjae gave him a light smile. He had a long beard and looked a little older. It had been a long time since they last met. His butler, on the other hand, just stood right next to him with a blank expression.
His butler’s name was Nagil Hwan, he was always there for Gwanjae when he needed help. He was always faithful butler and he could be cruel towards others if necessary.
The other four guys in the room were wearing black suits. One of the guys was a powerful businessman who just came back after a successful mission. There was another businessman sitting on the chair towards his left but Jaehwang still felt that Gwanjae was the strongest of them all.
“It’s been a while,” Gwanjae said.
“Yeah...” Jaehwang replied as he lowered his head.
Jaehwang never called him grandfather before. Everyone gathered around and always talked together, however, Gwanjae was a little different.
“Why aren’t you calling me grandfather?” Gwanjae said with a smile.
“Hi.. Grandfather,” Jaehwang replied with an awkward tone.
“Perfect, haha...” Gwanjae widened his smile.
Jaehwang felt relieved. He tried to sense his energy and he found out that it still was an energy stronger than his own.
“Haha, look at this.”
Gwanjae wasn’t angry at Jaehwang’s rebelliousness and he seemed to be proud of him instead. He had the same look when they first met.
“It was unbelievable but, you’ve finally made it.” Gwanjae already knew that he went to the training center. He had always encouraged him because he knew that he was very skilled.
Gwanjae was in the middle of the people he had gathered. He could sense their respect to his grandfather and Jaehwang wondered if they’re going to ask him about what he did at the training room.
“Take a seat.” Gwanjae said.
“Yes.” Jaehwang sat in a chair next to Gwanjae. It was quiet at first but at that moment, Gwanjae’s understanding expression have disappeared.
