Chapter 117: Refreshing

As I left the apartment, a small sense of contentment filled me. Even though the money I'd given them wasn't a fortune, it would provide some financial relief for a few months, easing their immediate concerns.

I didn't need to be a genius to see that their family was struggling. Perhaps this was the very reason Rak had chosen to work with a gang for quick cash. It was becoming clear that he might not have been such a bad guy after all. Just someone who had been pushed into a life of a gangster due to poverty.

Nevertheless ,I understood that no amount of money could truly compensate them for their loss, but it was the only gesture I could offer at that moment.

I got into my SUV, ready to leave the emotional weight of the apartment behind, and began driving.

My destination? Well, for the time being, I chose to head towards Goyang using my car. I wasn't worried about running into traffic officers since I had a fake driver's license, and I knew I could use my suggestion ability to influence them if needed.

*VROOOOM!

The highway ride to Goyang felt like a breath of fresh air . The smooth asphalt stretched out before me, and the steady hum of the engine was strangely soothing. The world outside my car window passed in a blur, a mix of lush greenery and the occasional urban landscape.

As the wind rushed through the open windows, it carried away some of the emotional weight that had lingered from my earlier encounter. Each passing mile seemed to wash away a layer of tension, and I found solace in the rhythm of the road.

The ride was like a reset button for my emotions, allowing me to clear my mind and focus on the future. It was a reminder that life moved on, and I needed to keep moving with it.

I arrived in Goyang and headed straight for the school. Even though afternoon classes were in session, I managed to enter without any trouble. .

As I walked into the faculty area, I could sense that the teachers were maintaining their distance from me, except for the chatty teacher who continued to engage with me.

She informed me that the teacher I had been substituting for had returned, creating a new issue for me to address if I wanted to stay in the school.

"What do you want to talk about? You said you need to tell me something about my Fiancée " Gye Yong spoke with an annoyed expression on her face. Her black hair danced in the rooftop breeze, adding to her haughty demeanor.

I found her arrogance rather amusing, and I had originally planned to savor my domination of her slowly. However, due to my own circumstances , I had to expedite my plans.

"I just wanted to have a chat first," I replied with a chuckle.

"If you don't have anything important to say, then I really should be going," she insisted, attempting to leave.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" I asked.

"That's none of your business," she replied, rolling her eyes and turning away.

"Tell me. I want to know," I commanded, using my suggestion ability.

[Suggestion: Success]

With a sudden pause, she hesitated, clearly attempting to resist the influence of my skill. However, her efforts were in vain.

"I need to prepare. My fiancé is waiting for me. It's our anniversary," she finally answered, a touch of embarrassment in her expression.

"Anniversary?" A mischievous grin crept onto my face. It felt like destiny had just handed me the perfect moment to school this woman. The possibilities were so tantalizing, they practically tap-danced in my imagination, sending my blood pressure and enthusiasm skyrocketing.

"Hey, before you go, there's something I'd like to tell you," I said as I approached her.
