Chapter 45

Episode 45

The air-conditioned cafe cools down.

Kim Eun-ah sucked in the iced Americano served through a straw in the pleasant breeze.

“Ah~ It really tastes like this.”

Kim Eun-ah drinks Americano and puts on a happy expression. Shin Yoo-seong looked at Kim Eun-ah in a strange way.

“okay? I was too bitter.”

“It sucks. If you become an adult like me, you will be able to enjoy this bitter taste.”

Kim Eun-ah was elated and drank Americano. On the other hand, Shin Yoo-seong was drinking a sweet caramel macchiato sprinkled with whipped cream.

‘It’s so sweet.’

Shin Yoo-seong really liked the drink Kim Eun-ah ordered.

“I like this.”

Kim Eun-ah smiled and looked at Shin Yoo-seong with her chin on her chin.

“Hmm, but how do you come to a cafe for the first time at that age?”

“Well, I guess it’s because I’ve been living in Musinsan since I was 5 years old.”

“5 5 years old? From then until now?”

Surprised, Kim Eun-ah missed the straw she was biting on. To say I spent 12 years in the mountains from the age of 5 to 17. It was something that Kim Eun-ah could not even imagine.

“Huh... that’s ridiculous.”

Even though he is a disciple of the king of authority.

Maybe she came out of Mt. Musin from time to time, but Kim Eun-ah was quite shocked by the story of Shin Yoo-seong.

“Then, if you were in the mountains like that all along, what about your family? Are you really not watching?”

Let’s ask Kim Eun-ah, who can’t believe it. Shin Yoosung calmly replied.

“I’ve been on Mt. Musin all along. The only family I have is Master.”

short silence.

Kim Eun-ah only knew that Shin Yoo-seong was taken by King Kwon. It was the first thing I learned about being from an orphanage.

“uh? Oh that’s right? Because I think about it. Do you think the mountains are okay? First of all, the air... isn’t it good?”

Embarrassed, Kim Eun-ah tried to respond calmly, but she was clearly nervous.

Zuuuu.

Instead of Americano, Kim Eun-ah’s straw made only the noise of the air. An awkward air current flowing through the cafe.

“I’m okay.”

In response to Shin Yoo-seong’s nonchalant answer, Kim Eun-ah gently removed her lips and spoke carefully.

“...Hey, that’s fine.”

Kim Eun-ah’s fingers fidgeting awkwardly on the table. Kim Eun-ah looked outside through the glass and spoke in the dryest possible way.

“You can’t force yourself to pretend you’re okay.”

Kim Jun-hyeok fell into a coma two years ago.

Kim Eun-ah’s voice sank at the sudden memory.

“That... I’m sorry. It just reminded me of it.”

Kim Eun-ah timidly apologized while messing with her hair. Shin Yoo-seong was the first at the academy to receive a sincere apology from Kim Eun-ah.

‘It’s surprisingly delicate.’

Even Shin Yoo-seong was new to seeing Kim Eun-ah for the first time, but he couldn’t blame Kim Eun-ah.

“no. It’s really good. Um... he’s still alive.”

Let’s talk Shin Yoosung with a smile. Kim Eun-ah narrowed her eyebrows.

“hmm? You said there wasn’t any earlier?”

At Kim Eun-ah’s words, Shin Yoo-seong shook his head slowly.

“Everyone is fine. It’s just that we’re not family anymore.”

“Then...”

Kim Eun-ah seemed to have finally noticed Shin Yoo-seong’s situation.

“I was abandoned by my family.”

In response to Shin Yoo-seong’s plain story, Kim Eun-ah did not say anything. Shin Yoo-seong said he entered Musin Mountain at the age of 5. Kim Eun-ah couldn’t understand.

“That is so... strange. Why do you throw away a 5-year-old for doing something so wrong?”

It is fortunate that there are no guests except for the two of them. Kim Eun-ah seemed cautious about bringing up the story, but Shin Yoo-seong had no intention of hiding her past.

‘To make friends. It would be advantageous to talk a lot.’

And it was meaningful to tell someone what I had buried inside, even if it didn’t help directly.

“The family didn’t want an heir with F-class characteristics.”

“...So you threw it away?”

Kim Eun-ah let out a small sigh and looked at Shin Yoo-seong. In order to be recognized as a prestigious family in Korea, a strong hunter country, the power of successors was definitely important.

‘But it’s like that...’

But to throw it away for that reason made Kim Eun-ah bitter.

“But family? Are you... are you from a famous family?”

With the surname ‘Sin’, Kim Eun-ah is famous enough to remember the famous hunter. There was only one such family in Korea.

“Could it be... the Shin-O family?”

“Are you going against me now without a weapon? Oppa, are you really brave?”

[ ^o^ hahaha]

The helmet girl laughed while covering her mouth and pointed her gun at the bodyguards.

“Oh, but just thinking about it. To be honest, I’m a little sad. Isn’t it too much to try to take out such a scary thing just because I was kidding?”

When the chatty helmet girl aimed a gun, the bodyguards stopped moving. Even though they are from City Guard, they are not hunters, but ordinary people. If I was hit by a bullet, I could never be fine.

“How the heck is the security system...”

The bodyguard in his 20s couldn’t admit what was happening. How did the villain in front of him unknowingly break through the guards and approach?

The helmet girl smiled obliquely at the bodyguard.

“curious? Ah~ To be honest, the cool thing is to say it’s a secret and leave in style. Hehe I don’t like that style. Um, if I had to ask, the culprit next to the boss was an informant?”

The helmet girl, chatting wildly, entered something into the hologram window floating in the air.

“I mean? Think more than you look. This is the main specialty. How are you curious?”

There was no bluff in the helmet girl’s words. All the security systems on the 7th floor were disarmed with her simple gestures.

Wheein! Clap! Clap! Clap!

When all the closed doors were opened and all the lights in the hallway were turned off, the 20-year-old security guard muttered as if he recognized the helmet girl’s identity.

“It’s Chi Chit...”

“No way... Rebellion’s hacker!”

The notorious villain group Rebellion.

Cheet belonged to Rebellion and was a wanted hacker for leaking confidential information in China.

“Hey, am I that famous already? Then why not? Ahaha! I’m just getting started!”

“Shut up!”

A cheat that laughs with excitement. One of the bodyguards threw himself at Cheat and charged him.

Dig! Sssss!

However, Cheet’s body turned into light and disappeared. Instead, he appeared next to another bodyguard and giggled.

Pod!

“Ahang? Am I here?”

blink.

It was a kind of teleport as her characteristic skill. The bodyguards belatedly took out weapons from their pockets and swung them, but whenever they did, cheat’s body blinked countless times.

Dig!

“Oh slow.”

Pod!

“It was a bit dangerous.”

For Chet, the current situation is just entertainment, not a battle. As the distance between the two men increased, Cheet used Blink to surprise them from behind.

Fuck!

“Gagging!”

“Ouch!”

Cheet’s hand-snatch knocked the two bodyguards down helplessly. Now, all that is left is Kim Jun-hyeok lying defenseless in the hospital room.

Bubbly.

Cheet walked slowly into the hospital room with the door open. Modern technology was too vulnerable to her hacking. It would have been better if it was a simple iron door without any electronic devices.

Cheet looked around the large hospital room and started muttering to herself.

“After all, the world is so unfair. You mean when I’m in Guangzhou? Oh, Cloe, are you listening?”

Cheet is still talkative, but perhaps because he’s lost in thought, his conversation is slower than usual.

“there is no answer? You’re listening right? I say?”

Let the cheat keep looking for someone. Soon, a voice came out of the suit’s pocket.

-Did you secure the circular seat?

Instead of answering the question, Cheet looked down at Kim Jun-hyeok and giggled.

“That’s later. Just listen.”

Cheat reached for the device next to Kim Jun-hyeok. The huge machine was studded with tiny gems called cycle stones.

“When I was younger, I mean. I was most worried about finding a place to sleep and food for the day? But for the money you pay for a night in this hospital room, you can eat dim sum in Tianhe for a year.”

Cheet took out the cycle stone from the machine and tinkered with it.

“Isn’t that unfair too? huh? Do you also think so? yes?”

Let Chet continue to chatter. The mysterious man dismissed in a subdued voice.

– I’ll ask again. Did you secure the circulation seat?

Cheet laughed invisibly from inside the helmet and grabbed the cycle stone. The goals of the villains gathered in Rebellion are different.

However, there was always one reason why she came to Rebellion.

– I’ll ask again. The circular stone is...

“Ahhh! Don’t look at me! I got it!”

Cheet shook her head and showed her annoyance, then approached Kim Jun-hyeok’s nose.

Paget.

[Sorry~♥]

[ᅲ슈ᄏ]

Then, she looked down at Kim Junhyeok and displayed a message on the display board of her helmet. It was her own apology for what was about to happen.
