Chapter 104:
Chapter 104
As Shin Sooah said, whether she had two arms or one didn't seem to be much of a handicap for her. The guys came charging at her with blades but soon collapsed, oozing blood.
Just then a noisy clamor came from the stairs above.
"Reinforcements are here! Surround them!"
So now seemed it's an all-out assault.
Stepping on the fallen man, Seo Gangrim moved forward and said, "Shin Sooah-ssi, please handle the left."
"Yes, got it!"
With Shin Sooah handling those popping out from the left, Seo Gangrim took the right side.
Screams and howls echoed through the karaoke room. No matter how great their numbers, it was useless. Just a waste of time.
As he finished off the charging men one by one, the area soon quieted.
"Phew..."
Seo Gangrim let out a short sigh as he looked around. Bodies were sprawled here and there like corpses. Amidst them, the noisy sounds of someone punching continued.
-Puk, puk...!
Shin Sooah kept swinging her fists. The man getting hit already seemed to have lost consciousness. Shin Sooah's eyes had changed slightly.
Seo Gangrim went over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Shin Sooah-ssi. Stop now."
At that she glared at him with crazed eyes. Her fists and face were splattered with blood. Her 'Bloodlust' must've activated. Still, her condition didn't seem too serious.
Seo Gangrim kept my hand on her shoulder and said, "You trying to kill him? Looks like he might die if you hit him more."
The scrawny man getting pummeled was trembling violently.
It seemed Shin Sooah finally came to her senses as she backed away and hurriedly wiped the blood from her face.
"Th-thanks. I just got carried away."
It made Seo Gangrim wonder if Shin Sooah brought him along not to fight together, but to stop her instead.
Anyway they finished up here. Shin Sooah stepped over the fallen men and headed to the room Shin Ara was in.
Still keeping the door shut, Shin Ara was observing the outside situation. She was smiling even though all her gang members had collapsed.
"Wow, I thought it wouldn't go so smoothly but man."
She seemed genuinely happy about the situation.
"As expected Sooah. I saw talent in you since long ago. Gangrim-ssi, back in high school she..."
"Shut up."
When Shin Sooah snapped at her, Shin Ara smiled gently and briefly stopped talking. Seo Gangrim already knew about her high school days, but he wasn't particularly curious.
With Shin Sooah's father clearly being a gangster, his daughters Shin Ara and Shin Sooah were also exposed to danger often. They were kidnapped or ambushed by rival organizations numerous times. Each time, Shin Sooah would return with Shin Ara after killing the opposition gangsters.
[I had to protect my sister, so I couldn't just stay put.]
At first Seo Gangrim thought Shin Ara was exaggerating but...
After seeing Shin Sooah just now beating the gangsters barehanded, it didn't seem like a lie.
"You really are a natural born fighter. You want to live like a herbivore, but how can a tiger cub become a herbivore?"
"Open the door." UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m
"Sooah-ya, be honest, you enjoyed it just now right?"
At those words, Shin Sooah faltered, missing the timing to refute her. Her hands still had undried blood.
Shin Ara hammered in, "The fortune teller who saw us when we were young said so too right? You have a fortune of taking and being taken from, struggling and contending, one that enjoys it all."
"I..."
"Accept your fate. And return to Sura..."
-Crack!
Seo Gangrim smashed open the karaoke room door. He didn't want to listen to this talk anymore.
"Right. That may be Shin Sooah's fortune and destiny."
Shin Sooah's Abilities, 'Bloodlust' and 'Weight of Karma,' were like telling Shin Sooah to live as a villain. If she became a villain with Abilities like that, she could rise far higher than when founding Flying Tiger Sect.
At his words, Shin Ara beamed.
"Yes."
The Great Demon Realm had high difficulty raids, so the rewards were substantial too. And he absolutely had to obtain those raid rewards.
Stepping over the fallen gangster, he said, "Let's hurry and head back. I've got things to discuss regarding the Great Demon Realm."

"Nunni, you've arrived!"
"You've arrived!"
At Sura sect's headquarters.
As Shin Ara entered the building, the members lined up on both sides bowed at a 90 degree angle to greet her. Despite the sinister atmosphere, Shin Ara gracefully accepted their greetings as she entered.
"I told you not to call me Nunni. Call me Sect Leader. Ugh, when will you guys lose the gangster vibe?"
"We'll correct it!"
"Right, right."
Shin Ara nodded as if forgiving them and headed to her private room. The cosy room was decorated in pastel colours throughout. Collapsing onto the sofa, she said, "Ah, I'm tired..."
Shin Ara's pupils were coldly sunken. One of the gang members noticed her mood and carefully placed a teacup on the table. The sweet scent of milk tea drifted over. At that scent, Shin Ara's expression softened a little.
"Ah, thanks. I'll enjoy it."
Seeing her reaction, the gang members seemed relieved.
One man hesitantly spoke up. "Um, so...what about the other members and Lady Sooah...?"
"Oh right, Sooah. Come here for a sec."
As Shin Ara beckoned, waving her hand as if to say come listen, the gang member cautiously approached her. At the same time, Shin Ara swung the teacup she was holding.
-Clang!
The teacup that struck his head shattered, and blood flowed from the gang member's head. Hitting him, however, didn't seem enough to quell Shin Ara's anger.
"Why're you asking before I say anything? Wait till I talk."
"S-sorry. Leader..."
The gang members stood still before her, speaking fearfully. They were all terrified.
Seeing them, Shin Ara let out a deep sigh.
"Sorry. I failed to bring Sooah. So I'm a little mad."
She collapsed back onto the sofa. Then murmured regretfully, "For Sooah not to return... She was such a good kid who listened well to her sister."
Shin Ara was desperately waiting to reunite with her little sister. She thought even though Shin Sooah had run away from home in a brief rebellious phase, she would eventually return if cajoled gently. But Gangrim was by her side.
"I thought if I remove everyone around her, Sooah would give up too but..."
She recalled Gangrim's argument from earlier. Seo Gangrim who had taken down all her subordinates barehanded was stronger than expected, and too good to kill.
"It'd be nice if I could bring Seo Gangrim to our side instead."
She'd heard of his fame at the training facility, but Gangrim still exceeded Shin Ara's expectations. He immediately noticed the gang members were ordinary people and saw through her plans. And not just that, his combat ability was outstanding, too.
Though Shin Ara couldn't see Seo Gangrim's Destiny, she could clearly tell his ability surpassed hers.
"And if his lover joins Sura sect, Sooah will come too right?"
"Huh? Lady Sooah found a lover?"
"Yeah. Seems like it. Good skills, handsome face, too. Our Sooah has an eye for men after all."
Shin Ara had misunderstood something, but there was no one to correct her.
She smiled quietly and said, "The issue is Gangrim probably won't come over easily."
That point was quite regretful. Thinking for a moment, Shin Ara briefly glanced at her subordinate.
"Milk tea. Again."
"Yes, yes!"
At Shin Ara's order, the gangster hurriedly brought fresh milk tea. After drinking a sip, pondering something, Shin Ara set down her teacup.
Smiling elegantly, she said, "Alright, let's go after Gangrim first instead of Sooah. We've got no choice but to pressure him."
