Chapter 62 - Competition [1]

Startled by the sudden voice, Moon Jiwoo turned her head into that direction, and her lips curved to form a small smile.

"Ah! You finally woke up. I was starting to think that you are dead," she vocalised.

Pressing his palms on top of the couch, Min Hyungwon sat up. He was about to scold Jiwoo but held his tongue back in order to not let any time go to waste.

"Shouldn't we call a doctor?" Sookyung questioned before adding, "At your age, it is not exactly healthy to faint. If you pass away, it will truly be disastrous for us."

"There is no need for that. I have fainted due to Moon Jiwoo, more specifically her powers. Since you had provoked her, her will caused her powers to leak out, and since she was unable to control it, she attacked me with it."

Upon hearing those words, a sparkle appeared in Moon Jiwoo's eyes as they widened, and she spoke out, "Those were my powers. Wow! That's so cool!"

Then, curving her lips to form a smug smile, she folded her arms across her ċhėst, and continued, "Yah! You loser, did you see that? I am really, really strong now. The next time you try to provoke me, you are dead meat."

Oh Sookyung let out chuckle— which was filled with mock— as he stated, "Can you do that? Too bad, no matter how much you wish for that, it would not be physically possible for you."

"You weakling! Are you challenging me? Should I kill you off to prove that to you?" she exclaimed— her eyes glaring at him while she raised her fist to point at him.

Before On Sookyung was able to respond, Hyungwon shouted, "Two of you, can't you even stay quiet for a couple of minutes and hear what I have to say. Are both of you some toddler?"

"Are you a fool? Do you think a toddler can steal like him? They are too innocent to be compared to the likes of him," Jiwoo vocalised, pointing at Oh Sookyung.

"Toddlers don't aim to murder people at the every chance they get. Shin Daerin, are you actually an aspiring murderer?" he spoke out.

A loud groan left Hyungwon's mouth. No matter how much he yelled at them, getting the two of them to stop arguing was almost impossible for him.

"Shut up!" he yelled, "If one of you says one word from now on, you will have to go on a day without food."

As Moon Jiwoo was about to open her mouth in order to convey her words, Hyungwon placed his finger on top of his lips, causing her to throw away her words.

Her bottom lips protruded forward, and turning her head slightly, she glared at Oh Sookyung. Folding his arms across his ċhėst, Sookyung smirked at her.

The arrogance in his eyes managed to irk her, and extending her leg towards him, she stepped on top of his foot with all of her strength. Hyungwon mentioned no words to her on not getting physical with him.

For what had happened at the clearing back then, he still owed her.

Sookyung was about to retaliate when Hyungwon said, "Shin Daerin, your powers give you the ability to control the electricity. I am pretty sure you have felt a jolt of electricity when you used them on me earlier. Along with those powers, you have a weapon as well. As for unlocking that, it will still be taking you time."

"What about me?" Sookyung asked, raising one of his eyebrows.

"Tch! You will have powers lamer than me," Jiwoo mumbled. Nonetheless, those words were loud enough to reach into Sookyung's ear.

"About you, Sookyung, as you're the prince, you have lots of power locked within you, but unlocking them completely depends on you. The current King had unlocked two sets of power.

For Shin Daerin, unlocking her powers and weapon will be easy due to her protective instincts. But as for you, you are required to put more effort into it. Moreover, your powers were sealed for a long time and you did not have proper training in the childhood. At the end, this all depends on your determination," Hyungwon vocalised.

A chuckle left Moon Jiwoo's mouth while she spoke out, "You hear that! Provoke me the next time, and I will fry you with my powers. Maybe some wild creatures at here will be satisfied when I barbeque you."

"Really? I am waiting for that. But you should know that, no matter how much you try, you will be unable to kill me. Such a waste of those powers you have. Moreover, I am your ticket to wealth; you would not be able to bear losing that," he spoke out, "Stop bluffing. On the other hand, I have more chances of killing you. I don't have foolish instincts like you."

"Those wealth become worthless at face of those wealth, and Sookyung, whatever those instinct I have, I will overcome them. I don't believe that I am weak to those stupid instincts," she spoke out confidently.

"Yes, yes, whatever you say. But whenever I get in danger, you will come running after me," he spoke out, "Isn't that what had happened?"

She scoffed and said, "What nonsense are you saying? Why will I be going there for you? I just wanted to get some things from that room! That's all. Stop getting too ahead of yourself, You Bastard!"

"Shin Daerin, I know that you are aware that you need to have a better control over your anger," Hyungwon started.

Turning her head towards Hyungwon, Jiwoo voiced out, "Yeah, I know that. But I don't want to control my anger now. It will be perfect if I suddenly lose control of my anger and kill Hyungwon."

Ignoring those words from Moon Jiwoo, he stated, "Your anger is not something I can control neither can I help with it. I can just give you some tips. You have to do things on your own."

"That's great then! I will learn to not control my anger," Jiwoo expressed, "After I kill off this bastard, I will learn to control it."

"Moon Jiwoo, I hope you are aware of how deadly your anger could be. You can end up committing a crime if things get much serious. When it comes to fighting, you don't need much help from me. 

The only reason I was ȧssigned to you is to get everything under your control, and as for killing the prince, I can't allow something like to happen. However, you can injure him as much as possible," Hyungwon vocalised.

"How could you say that, Hyungwon-ssi?" Sookyung asked.

"I am starting to like you better as more time passes by, Old Man. If this carries on, I can see that we will be close buddies in the future," she said while her lips curved to form a wide smile.

"What is your favourite cake?" Hyungwon questioned.

"Favourite cake? Why such a weird question? Well, I like blueberry and strawberry flavoured cakes mostly," she spoke out, "Red velvet is my favourite as well."

"Alright then this is your mission for twenty four hours. If you are able to hold in your anger within this twenty four hours, you will be given those three cakes, but if you are unable to do that, they will be given to Oh Sookyung. Sookyung will try to provoke you as much as possible, but you can't get angry at him," he vocalised.

"Aren't they just cakes? I don't need them if I am able to kill Oh Sookyung. His death is more important than that," she said, rolling her eyes.

Min Hyungwon curved his lips to form a small smirk and stated, "Are you admitting defeat that easily? Would not that make you the power? Sookyung will be winning then."

The thought of her losing to Sookyung provoked her more than killing him off, and letting out a deep breath, she said, "Oh Sookyung, there is no way I am letting you have those cakes. Let's see who wins. There is no way I am letting a weakling like you defeat me."

He chuckled and stated, "Yes, yes, I am waiting for the impossible to happen. Getting you provoked is not a big deal for me."

"Aren't you getting too ahead of yourself?" she questioned.

"What's that? Do I sense anger in your voice? You are getting angry, right? It has already started by now, and you are losing to me this fast," Sookyung said as laughs left his mouth.

Moon Jiwoo was about to shout at him when she recalled about the competition and held it in regardless of how tough it was for her. For the sake of not being a loser, she will be able to win against him.

Forcing out a smile on her face, she said, "You can not expect me to lose this easily to a thief like you. There is no way you will be able to make me lose."
