39 Chapter 39- Twisted Rim Kyung (Part 2)

The voice was soft and rather respectful as playful as it sounded. However, the moment Talon heard it, he frowned hard. For some reason, he really didn't like how it sounded and was about to close his ears just to not listen to it.

The feeling was so intense that it took Talon by surprise. He had never experienced it before in his life. The young man scratched his head confusedly. 'What's wrong with me?'

Falling into deep thought, Talon tried to understand the origin of this odd feeling. In the end, he gave up and shook those thoughts away. At the same time, the door fully opened and a young man walked out in confident strides.

He was rather short with a slim build hidden under formal clothes fit for ceremonies and business meetings. He had a good-looking face and well-combed black hair. He wore a pair of glasses and an earring on his left ear.

Looking at everyone with a nonchalant smile, not caring how they saw him.

"I never known you for someone who would use violence, Miss Ran Hyun-Jae~" He finally spoke with a smile.

"Then you don't know me well enough." Hyun-Jae retorted with a cold look.

"Hahaha, perhaps I really don't know you. I would've never expected you to have a barbaric side. I would've had to dig deeper."

Staring at Hyun-Jae with a confident smile, Rim Kyung sent her a jab using his words. That was his method whenever he was dealing with her. He would try to rile her up and get her to make a mishap which he can use to his own advantage.

"Considering the fact that you wanted to leave us outside for the monsters, your barbaric side doesn't need digging to find." Talon barged into the conversation with a small smile. "Oops, my bad, I should've not said that in front of your lackeys." He added at the end as he covered his mouth with his hand.

Everyone immediately looked at Talon silently. They all had varying degrees of shock. Especially Rim Kyung whose confident smile broke for a split second before it came back.

Talon secretly gave Hyun-Jae a side glance that she understood immediately.

'I have your back, don't worry.' He said.

Hyun-Jae's heart felt warm and her face relaxed considerably. Talon's reply truly helped ease her anger.

"And who might you be?" Rim Kyung asked.

"Talon."

"I never heard of your name."

"You don't know me, but I know you. You're the dude that keeps saying weird nonsense in the campus courtyard every day." Talon said innocently.

"Pfft..." Hyun-Jae almost exploded in laughter when she heard what he said. It was brutally hard not to laugh when Talon was clearly toying with Rim Kyung as if it were nothing.

'Holy shit! Mister Talon is really not holding back! So cool!' The three students mused with admiration.

'Weird nonsense...' Rim Kyung's well-crafted expression, honed by years of social skills, was about to crumble completely.

"Ehem, I do not say weird nonsense. I give speeches that people of your brain capacity can't comprehend."

"... Y-Yes sir!"

Even though it was clearly a threat, they had to comply with their boss' orders.

"Go ahead, you can access the gymnasium." They moved to the side, allowing them inside.

'This is wild!!' Go Young-Soon, Mo Shin, and Hei-Ran stepped forward hesitantly.

"Go ahead." "Y-Yes!"

They said as they walked inside the place followed by Talon and Hyun-Jae.

"I know his type. All barks and no bites." As the two talked, Rim Kyung walked behind them with a very dark expression on his face. Long gone is his attempt to be the playful and well-spoken man he wanted to be. He was now boiling with anger and endless hatred toward Talon and Hyun-Jae.

They disrespected him, mocked him, and threatened him. He would be damned if he ignored all of that.

'You bastards just wait. Thinking that you won just because you threatened me? I will definitely destroy both of you. I won't spare you!!' His eyes flared with desire for revenge.

The gymnasium was one of the biggest buildings on the campus. It had all the facilities related to a huge variety of sports along with bathrooms, showering areas, and even an Olympic swimming pool.

It could easily contain all the students on the campus which was the reason why many rushed toward it.

The first thing that welcomed the group the moment they entered the place was the huge number of students residing in it.

'....' Talon stared around, shocked at what he was seeing.

The entire place was filled with people, moving around like brainless zombies. Everyone had a dead look on their faces. Terror, hunger, and worry for their loved ones had taken a huge toll on their minds.

He could even see a good number of them hugging their knees in a corner as they cried silently.

"Mom... Where are you?"

"I want to get out of here... I don't want to stay here..."

"I'm going to die... I'm going to die... I'm going to die..."

Such words were being said everywhere and it added another layer of gloominess over the place. "This is far worse than I expected..." Hyun-Jae murmured with a frown.

No one seemed like they were capable of moving let alone doing anything.
