Chapter 195 - It's my Lucky Color

Eun Ha was devastated by the recent revelations, mainly because she was so futile and let herself be carried away by appearances and prejudice. She believed that the 'bad boy' was a psychopath while in fact the one who looked innocent was who he was! The fairy felt she owed Dr. Kim an apology for all her nagging. And the more she thought about it, the more she imagined that she had put her friend in danger by trying to get her closer to Dae Won, the real madman there!

Mr. Ahn had brought Eun Ha to Pearl by car, which he never visited before. Once there, she introduced him to her ex-boss, Mr. Park, who was a friendly person and easily made friends. The butler wanted to help her with Ye Rim's gifts, flowers, fruit baskets and other things, but Eun Ha refused to accept,

"Please keep Mr. Park company, this is a light service, and it's your night off. You are already doing a lot to bring me here," in fact she couldn't conceive of Mr. Ahn working while she, who was young, was idle. She was neither a princess nor an invalid. Even at home, he didn't do heavy work because Shin wouldn't allow it. Some services were outsourced and Mr. Ahn took care of only the essentials that Shin didn't trust anyone else. But now Mr. Ahn wanted to pamper her as if she were precious. Although she was flattered, Eun Ha knew it was only because he was so happy to be rid of his master's chronic foul mood.

But it was great to know that Mr. Ahn approved of their relationship!

After the reopening and disclosure of Duk Mi's name, Pearl started to receive more customers, at least that's what Ms. Song said. And Eun Ha was seeing fresh faces at the tables. Still, she would prefer Pearl to move to a better place. Although only in her imagination, she could see a sip of yin energy coming from the top of the building and blocking the bar's commercial success. That place had many disputes and just got in the way of good energy, and she would like to help. If only Mrs. Song wasn't so stubborn!

It was her second trip to the car carrying the gifts that Ye Rim got from his friends on the day of Pearl's farewell. It was no longer raining, but there was a cold, uncomfortable wind. Only a few more things were missing and it would have ended. Then she could go back to Shin and convince him to watch a romantic movie with her ... Perhaps?

Eun Ha wanted more intimate moments with her boyfriend, but since they started dating, they have made little progress in this regard. Not only was Shin quite 'traditional' but Chang Mi was almost all the time, especially by night, with them. And because of his nightmares, he even slept in the room with Shin… 'That smartass kiddo, he thinks I don't know what he's doing!'

The fairy was in the middle of these thoughts, while organizing the items in the back seat of the car, when she felt a presence behind her. Her hand was in the way of her coat pocket, to pick up her magic wand, when a threatening voice warned,

"Don't even think about it. Hands up!" she felt the presence of other people around her at the same time that something hard touched her back.

'Damn it! What do I do now?!'

Another man approached and felt in her coat pockets, much to Eun Ha's despair. 'Don't! They know!' she felt her level of despair rise when she realized that she was being mugged for a very specific reason. The man pulled out her cell phone and also her 'pen', chuckling,

"Hahahaha. Here it is. I said she was a witch! I saw it with my eyes!"

"That explains a lot! The other day with the posters and also how the billboard went fixed overnight!" another voice agreed.

Eun Ha felt the gun move away from her back, and turned to see three of Hong Gi's henchmen mockingly surrounding her.

"What about now, witch, how are you going to make your voodoo?" the tallest of them mocked.

Eun Ha's eyes turned in despair to her magic wand in the hands of those dirty people! Really, just seeing them wielding their beloved magic wand looked like they were violating her body!

"STOP! give it back to me! Take my money, but give me back my…"

"Magic wand, you mean?"

"Not! It's a cherished pen! It was my mother's. Give it back to me, I'll pay you a ransom!" she tried to bargain, even though she had tears in her eyes and felt panicked. But they just laughed.

"What are you going to do now that you've lost your powers, witch?" one asked, but another said,

"Let's get out of here soon. I want to know what this magic wand can do for us!"

"What about her?"

"She knows she can't challenge us, does she? She lost her powers, did you see that she tried nothing without the wand? It's clear she just can't! Hehehe!"

They still looked at her, and the guy with the wand pretended to break the magic object with his knee. Eun Ha felt her knees weak and her heart pounding in despair,

"Stop! I'll pay whatever you want!"

"Y'all see it? If it wasn't important, she wouldn't be so desperate!"

"Don't be silly! So why in the hell would we sell something that can create all the money in the world!" the man holding the wand scoffed.

"C'mon C'mon!" one of them urged, and they moved away, while Eun Ha felt her legs as heavy as lead, in a genuine panic. She even overheard them talking to each other excitedly,

"Do you really think we can make money using this thing?"

"I think the only thing impossible now is to fix your ugly face, hahaha!"

"Hey you asshole!"

Eun Ha crouched down, trying to breathe and with her hand over her heart. She was still shaking and trying to organize her thoughts. She couldn't believe that she had been mugged, and that they had taken her magic wand away! Once again she had been sloppy and Shin would be furious about it!

Because, of course, it wouldn't be difficult for the Hunter to retrieve the magic wand they stole from her.

And they wouldn't be able to use it, anyway. But every second they spent with their wand, the more they would contaminate it with their mean and vile energy.

Not only that.

How did she, a fairy, manage to be assaulted by humans and couldn't even react? Although she knew that fairies were not easy to kill, her survival instinct spoke louder. Perhaps Eun Ha still thought of herself as human in that regard, but she was afraid of being hurt. And well, she had already seen that even a fairy was hurt, and was in pain. And she was afraid ...

'What a humiliation!!!'

Wiping away the tears of distress and anger that kept running down her face, she knew she needed to take action. If she called Shin to fix it, he would have even more reason to insist that she wasn't yet ready. If he had already suggested that Eun Ha study in Dominion while he hunted the Devourer, with the news that she was unable to defend even her own wand ... he would insist again.

'Not! I definitely can't accept this! I can, and must, handle it myself! ' she decided, standing up and inhaling air into her lungs.

"I will give those scoundrels a lesson that they will never forget!" thus deciding, she marched into Pearl again.

Minutes later, wearing a Duk Mi's blue sequined jacket as a dress and blue high boots that were part of Ye Rim's old costume, she crossed the street to a noraebang where those gangsters used to gather. It was public and notorious that this was where they spent their time when they weren't around Pearl causing problems.

But it wasn't even necessary to enter. When passing through an alley, the fairy realized that the three were there, hidden from other people, as she heard a familiar voice say,

"Aish, give it to me! You don't know nothing! You don't have to say 'Engado Leverosa' or whatever! I saw her wearing it and she just… Give it to me, come on!"

She shivered at the thought of those hands on her delicate wand! She was so full of hatred that all she wanted to do was break the hands of those useless parasites. But for now, taking a deep breath, the fairy entered the alley making a lot of noise with her high-heeled boots that made her at least six inches taller.

"But what is this?" one of them turned and noticed her arrival before anyone else, and stood agape staring at the shiny and flashy woman in high-heeled boots.

"Hey, it's the hot witch's friend! What outfit is that? Now that you can no longer be a witch because you lost your wand, have you changed your profession?" the laughter of the other henchmen accompanied the witty comment. Eun Ha snorted and replied, with a sarcastic and mean smile,

"You kind of asked me to change my clothes. But please take note that blue is my LUCKY color."

The trio turned to her, curious about the change in attitude. She was not begging or crying, in fact Eun Ha was looking at them menacingly.

"What are you talking about? Do you want to negotiate or something?" one of them asked, showing curiosity.

"You already realized that this object, which is special to me, doesn't work in your hands, does it?"

"What are you talking about…?" the astonished response from one of them showed that they had already suspected the fact.

"That I want to negotiate. You give me back my cell phone and pen, and I'll let you live," Eun Ha gave a disturbing smile, advancing on them and raising a hand to the sky. A sudden flash and crash hit the alley, while Eun Ha laughed startlingly,

"Mwhahahahahahha!"
