Chapter 338 - Pathetic ones from the clan

"Lee Soohyun, how can you do that!?" Ahn Jongdae exclaimed loudly, causing Soohyun to wince slightly and take a step backward.

According to Lee Kwangsoo's words, she had dropped an entire tray of glass tubes filled with the final product of the poison on the ground. 

There were twenty glass tubes upon it, and considering how important they were, Jongdae was bound to get angry. After all, this was precious to them.

However, Soohyun did not expect for Jongdae's voice to be this loud, and hardened herself in order to take in all the curses and scolding he will be directing at her.

From what she had observed yesterday, he was not someone who had a good control over this temper, and after this amount of this poison being wasted, he was bound to lose it.

"You Idiot! How can you do that! I have informed to you before on how important this is yet you have decided to mess with this! Your life can not even now compensate this, Bitch! I really want to strangle you at this moment! Geez!" he exclaimed.

Closing her eyes and staring at the ground, she took in all the curses he had directed at her while her heart beat rapidly within her c.h.e.s.t. She desperately prayed that this would not be back-firing on her.

"I was reluctant to let the pathetic ones from the Yellow Clan work with me in the first place, and now, you have created this huge mess! The entire batch was ruined due to you. I can't afford to let you stay here! I will be getting the higher-ups to get you out of here, and don't expect any money from them! I will make sure that you don't get any job anywhere, starve on the roads, and die. This is what a bitch likes you deserve!" he vocalised.

As a part of her act, Soohyun widened her eyes, and raising her head, she stared at the man before her in shock. 

"Please! Please! You can't do that to me, Sir. All of this is my dream. I am sorry. I am really sorry. I did not offend you in this way," Soohyun begged as tears formed at the corner of her eyes.

As she slowly extended her hands towards him, disgust instantly became evident on his face, and moving his hand closer to her, he touched her shoulders in order to push him away.

The push caught Soohyun by surprise, and she was not prepared for it. Due to the impact of that, she fell back, and her back collided with the counter behind her.

A wince left her mouth at that, and the sharp corner of the counter pierced through her neck. She touched her neck softly to erase any marks of the blood from there. Since her healing abilities were returning, it would be bad if he noticed that.

Raising her head to look at him, Soohyun did her best to appear pitiful. But before she could say anything, Ahn Jongdae decided to speak out.

"Whatever you do will be useless. Now, get out of my sight before I do anything! You are utterly disgusting!" he exclaimed.

Hearing those words, Soohyun began to cry.

°°°

'That man is an utter trash! My back hurts until now, but this went completely easily, and I have managed to complete something else as well. He is really foolish! He doesn't even know what big of a damage he is causing to his own type.'

"You have done well until this part, Lee Soohyun, but now is the most important part! You don't have the time to make new plans and have to carry this out without slipping up slightly."

'Damn! This just makes me so anxious. By the way, up until now, have they tortured Minhyun in any way.'

"About that, Soohyun, there is a bad news, and I don't how to break it out to you," Minnie vocalised.

Lee Soohyun notice how distressed Minnie was from her voice, leading her to worry about what was going on.

'What's the matter, Minnie?'

"You know how paranoid the king is, and he really hates the power Minhyun or Sungmin has. That's why, he will be forcing out the answer to where you are through the physical torture. 

Earlier, he tried to force out the answer from my Master, but feigning cluelessness, my Master did not leak out about anything. If my Master was not the Oracle, he would have forced ugly torture methods on him as well."

'Torture?'

The thought of Han Minhyun going through that caused Soohyun to shudder instantly, and she stopped her step in the hallway. Her hand trembled while her body froze.

"I am afraid yes. It is nothing pleasant, and the King have Han Minhyun four more days before going through the torture methods," Minnie vocalised.

'Only four days? That is not enough time to rescue him from all of the trouble. I am really helpless. What do you think I should do?'

"There is nothing you can do against it, Soohyun, I am afraid. You just have to let the nature take it's course. I did not tell you this to get yourself distracted, and about Han Minhyun, he might have thought of a solution out of this. 

You know how smart Minhyun can be. He would not let himself go through the punishment without trying to do anything about it," Minnie vocalized.

Before Soohyun was able to respond to Minnie, someone spoke out, "Oh! This is where you are. I have just heard about what had happened. Are you alright?"

Turning her head to look at that direction, Soohyun saw that Eunwoo leaned against the wall while staring at her direction, and she forced out a small smile on her face.
