Plundering in the Apocalypse



"I wanted to kill them all. But saving Shin was the priority. I asked for the help of healers, but none of them stood up to help him. His condition was very serious and we couldn't waste any more time, so we immediately took him to the hospital. But even the doctors were helpless."

Alfred gritted his teeth and continued with a dark face.

"I thought maybe the Black Pill would be able to save him. So I called my father, hoping that he would at least do something to save his grandchild. But his words made me realize I was wrong from the start. I shouldn't have kept any hope. That person wasn't my father. Nor did he have any affection for his family. Because everyone was a tool or pawn for him. I still remember word for word what he said then, [I won't allow it and why should I give it to you? If it means using that Pill, I don't need that thrash. Let him die.]"

"I had lost all hope by then. The doctors came out of the OT and said the words which I never wanted to hear. He said that Shin was dead."

When Alfred's said that. Aurora and Emily looked at him with astonished expressions. Their eyes glanced at Shin for a moment as they turned their focus back to Alfred.

"When I heard that news. Both me and Reina were devastated. I was going to kill everyone in that family. At that moment, I didn't care whether I would be successful in taking revenge or not. I wanted all of them to pay for Shin's death."

Alfred clenched his fists, remembering the past. He closed his eyes to calm down for a moment.

"Then a miracle happened."

Everyone looked at him with curious expressions.

"I don't know how. But somehow Shin survived and all his wounds recovered soon after. Even the doctors were astonished."

When Aurora and Emily heard this, they had a thoughtful expression on their faces. Then both of them came to the same conclusion.

'The doctor's previous judgment was wrong.'

But then another question came to their mind to which they had no answer.

'Then how did he recover so fast?'

Alfred and Reina saw their puzzled expression. Unfortunately, they themselves weren't sure how and what to answer. They haven't figured it out in these years either.

At this moment, only Shin and Alice had a look of understanding on their faces.

'So it wasn't just a dream. I recovered after drinking Adult Alice's golden blood.'

Shin remembered that dream he had before and this made his mind full of questions.

'Why did the Adult Alice save him then? They weren't even acquainted.'

'Why did she have golden blood?'

'What's the relation between Alice and the Adult Alice?'

'Are they the same person or different people?'

'What was that golden portal?'

As many similar questions were running through his mind, he subconsciously glanced at Alice.

'Huh?'

And he was surprised to see that Alice was also looking at him at the same time.

Alice looked at him with her eyes full of love and adoration. Although Shin didn't notice behind those beautiful eyes full of affection, there was another emotion in them. Relief and reminiscence.

'If I hadn't saved him. I might have lost him again, and maybe forever this time.'

Because of the small part of the memory that she received, Alice understood a lot of things. But, it's not yet time to tell Shin about it.

'I need to get stronger.'

"After Shin recovered, we went to kill them. But unfortunately, with our strength, we weren't able to face them all with just the two of us. Eventually, we failed."

Alfred said wryly. He knew how pathetic it sounded that he couldn't even take revenge neither for his son or his friends. But even if they were ready to fight to the death. They didn't want to leave Shin alone. So hiding the revenge deep inside their hearts, they could only try their best to give Shin a good life.

There was a long silence in the room. No one uttered a single word. Aurora had a poker expression on her face, but inwardly a lot of thoughts were going inside her mind.

Emily was the same. She also had some questions, but she was waiting for Aurora to make her decision first.

Finally, Aurora turned to look at Shin and asked lightly, "Are you going to leave them be or take revenge?"

With her words, everyone's attention was on Shin. Although Aurora finally had an understanding of their situation with the Wolner Clan. Before she makes a decision, she wanted to hear Shin's answer. Although Shin had said before that, he wanted revenge. She asked once again to confirm whether he had changed his mind or not.

Shin just looked at her with a smirk and said, "Although before I didn't care about them. But now that they have once again set their eyes on us, how can I let them be?"

Huge pressure emerged from inside him. A deep, heavy voice full of momentum was heard in the hall as Shin declared. "Only God can forgive their sins. So I just have to send them to God."I think you should take a look at

Aurora's emerald eyes brightened and a wide grin appeared on her face.

Emily was also looking at Shin with a glimmer in her eyes. Before, she was a little doubtful of Shin and his actions. But now she understood that everything was to make them their companions.

'Well, it doesn't matter.'

As long as he didn't want to harm them. She didn't care even if he had some ulterior motive.

Alice also nodded, supporting Shin's decision. Alfred looked at Shin with a complicated expression on his face. In the past, he never believed this day will come when they will get to take their revenge.

Moreover, it will all be because of Shin's own strength.

Reina on the side noticed this and said in a low but happy voice. "It seems he doesn't need our protection anymore."

Alfred nodded with a smile and said, "It seems so."

***

"So what is your plan, Shin?" Now that Aurora had confirmed that Shin and the others were her allies, she wanted to hear his thoughts.

Shin's expression became serious as he said. "Reizer had only made a call to my dad. They had yet to take any actions."

"More importantly, we don't know what their intention is."

When Shin said that, Alfred and Reina nodded simultaneously.

"From his call, he only seemed interested in that video," Alfred said.

"Yes, so even in the worst case, if he sees us as a threat and wants to eliminate us. It will be difficult for him to take direct action to kill us. Or at least because of his cautious personality, he won't act rashly. Right?" Shin said, glancing at Alfred.

Alfred nodded his head in agreement and said, "It is indeed what he would do according to his personality. First, he would try to collect all the information before he acts."

"In that case, we do have some time to prepare."

Shin said, glancing at Aurora, Emily, and Alice.

Then he continued to explain his plan. The more they heard, the more excited they became. Although Aurora wanted to go with the plan, she prepared. But her plan had a lot of loopholes and wasn't foolproof.

Moreover, she can't use the previous strategy of bulldozing, which she used against the Hyunja clan. Because both parties are incomparable. Hyunja Clan was nothing in front of a behemoth like Wolner Clan.

There's also a possibility of her uncle Valor or other powerful mages clans or Martial Arts clan working with the Wolner Clan.

"In the next few days, I'll prepare enough surprises for them that they will regret ever becoming our enemies."

Shin said with his voice full of cruelty.

***

By the time their discussion was over, it was already 3:00 A.M.

"I think it is better for everyone to take some rest and further discuss it tomorrow."

When everyone heard Reina's words. They also stopped and nodded, agreeing with her.

Mia went back to Soul Space, and Alfred went back to his room. He was indeed very tired and wanted to relax after the waves of emotions he experienced in the last few hours.

Reina looked at Aurora and Emily with a thoughtful expression and asked.

"Will you guys be okay sharing a room?"

Hearing their Aurora and Emily reacted instantly.

"It's fine. We will stay in a hotel."

Reina looked at them with a smile and said. "I don't think any nearby hotels will be open this late at night. So if it's fine with you two and can adjust to a single room. You can stay here for tonight."

Aurora lowered her head in shame and finally agreed.

"Thank you."

Since Aurora agreed, Emily had no qualms about it. But she decided to look for a hotel later.

Reina glanced at Alice, giving a teasing grin, then took Aurora and Emily to Alice's room.

Alice, who was left alone in the living room with Shin, had a plain expression on her face. But her face to her neck was blushing red in embarrassment.
