Chapter 372 - Can not meddle

"Really? Unfortunately, your opponent for this time around is not me. It will be someone else," Oh Jaeho spoke out.

"Oh Jaeho, I don't care whom you set as my opponent, but for sure, I will be finishing you off for now," Han Minhyun said while his dark eyes glowered upon Jaeho. 

They were completely filled with the d.e.s.i.r.e for Jaeho's blood, and as long as Han Minhyun doesn't not see Oh Jaeho dying painfully, he would not be satisfied.

"Lee Soohyun, you would not be liking this. The one who drives the sword through Han Minhyun's c.h.e.s.t— the oracle found out who it is," Minnie spoke out.

'Who is it?'

Nervousness rose within Lee Soohyun at the thought of the answer from Minnie, and she clenched her hand into a tight fist.

However, before she was able to hear the answer from Minnie, a sharp pain went through her head, causing Lee Soohyun to gasp for air, and clutching on to her head tightly in order to ease the pain, she fell down on her knee.

A loud scream left her mouth as she felt as if her head was being split into two. Her loud voice reached into Han Minhyun's ears, and as if finally acknowledging her presence, he turned to look at her direction.

Before losing her consciousness, Lee Soohyun saw that his eyes showed worry as he stared at her, and she wanted to desperately tell him how everything was alright. But she did not have the strength to do so.

The last thing she saw was Han Minhyun's lips saying 'Lee Soohyun' before she had been completely swallowed by the darkness— a type of darkness she did not believe that she would be able to come out from.

"It was you," Minnie spoke out, but those words of Minnie did not reach into Lee Soohyun's ears; it was too late for everything.

Han Minhyun's worried eyes stared at Lee Soohyun as he took his steps towards her. She was the only family left to him, and he could not bear to lose him. In this world, he did not believe that he would be able to survive without her.

Seeing her collapse like that gave a tight squeeze to his heart, but after couple of seconds, it seemed that she was fine. Lee Soohyun did not appear to be in pain anymore, and she stood up straight. 

Her hand gripped on to Han Minhyun's sword that he had thrown away previously. However, Han Minhyun failed to notice that as he stepped forward.

He then questioned, "Are you alright?"

When he took a step forward, Lee Soohyun raised the sword in her hand and was about to attack him. 

Seeing that, Han Minhyun's eyes widened due to the shock, and he instantly jumped back in time, preventing the sword from coming in contact with him.

"What are you—"

Before he was able to continue that sentence of his, his eyes fell on those eyes of Lee Soohyun, and staring at those cold eyes caused chill to go through his back.

Clenching his hand into a tight fist, Han Minhyun stared at Lee Soohyun in horror. That can't be it. What he was thinking could not be possible with Soohyun.

Turning his head, he stared at Oh Jaeho as if awaiting for his explanation for what was happening. His eyes clearly showed disgust towards Oh Jaeho.

However, in midst of that disgust was the fright he felt. He did not want to lose Soohyun to this, and his body began to tremble. Everything currently was too cruel for him.

Oh Jaeho smiled at him and said, "As you have already guessed it, Moon Jiwoo is your opponent for this round. This is interesting, right? The one who worked hard to being the antidote into this world also got infected by the same thing. 

She mentioned countless number of times on how everyone should be staying safe yet at the end, she was the one being careless. Nonetheless, this will be fun. Han Minhyun, would you be selfish and sacrifice Moon Jiwoo, or would you be softhearted? 

Let's do this. If you manage to kill Moon Jiwoo, I will allow you to make a first attack on me. The attack can be anywhere other than my c.h.e.s.t, and I will not be dodging it. How does that sound? Tempting? Tempting enough to abandon Moon Jiwoo."

"Oh Jaeho, you will surely be meeting with your demise. Someone will be there to make sure that you die. You will have to pay for that cruelty of yours. Maybe the clan acted bad to you, but compared to what you are doing, that was nothing," Han Minhyun spatted.

"Omo! Han Minhyun, are you finally broken down and have lost your composure? I am really honoured to get the chance to see something as legendary as this," Oh Jaeho stated, "Maybe I will be finished off some other day, but today is definitely the tragic ending for both of your lovers. Han Minhyun, you clearly know this; I have already won. There is no use in holding on to the false hope."

Then, turning towards Lee Soohyun, Oh Jaeho smiled and expressed, "My daughter, would you not be keeping your dad entertained with this fight? Make me proud."

He added, "Ah! A fine wine will be going very much well with this."

Lee Soohyun's target was Han Minhyun, and turning his head towards him, she walked at him with the sword in her hands.

Fortunately enough for Han Minhyun, there was still a bottle of antidote with him that he carried along just in case, and this was going to come useful now. His case was not as hopeless as Jaeho presumed it to be.

Turning towards Oh Jaeho, Han Minhyun said, "Sure, I will be giving you an entertaining fight, but you are not allowed to meddle into it."

"Sure, I give you my word that I will not be meddling into it, so keep me entertained through this," Jaeho spoke out.
