Chapter 292:

‘A map.’

The golden light was connected by thin lines, creating a beautiful three-dimensional constellation.

It was already an astonishing sight, but it also maintained the shape of a globe and showed the approximate locations of other golden lights.

It was in the form that Yu-hyun least wanted.

‘Is this the power of the fragment? But it’s a bit strange to call it a miracle.’

Yu-hyun touched the golden globe with his hand.

He pressed the nearest shining point with his finger, and suddenly the light expanded and showed him a rough enlargement of the surrounding geography.

‘It has a zoom function too. It shouldn’t be hard to find the location of the golden light.’

This was more like what Yu-hyun had been desperately hoping for than a miracle.

Yu-hyun hypothesized that this fragment’s power responded to the owner’s strong will.

‘Why did the cult leader get a miraculous power like that? It was because he had to show miracles to solidify his position as a leader and exploit his followers. The same fragment showed me a different ability because of that.’

Yu-hyun wished to find the location of other golden lights rather than a miracle.

That’s why the golden light he stole reacted to that and acted like a navigation that told him where the other golden lights were.

But, looking at it that way, the four devil powers he had were closer to what was already decided than what he wanted.

‘Not all fragments are the same. There are fragments that have fixed abilities and shapes, and there are fragments that change depending on the situation.’

The fragment that Jin Cheong-woon had was much bigger than other fragments. That meant that not all fragments were the same.

Proving that, the lights marked on the golden map had different brightness and sizes.

The bigger ones were more important fragments, and the smaller ones were nothing special.

He couldn’t rank them neatly, but he could at least distinguish their approximate levels.

‘It doesn’t matter whether they are big or small, since I have to collect them all anyway.’

If this fragment’s ability was correct, it was more than useful, it was overflowing.

It showed him where all the fragments that ordinary people could never see were.

‘But I don’t know who owns the fragment, but I guess it doesn’t matter much.’

As long as he knew the location, he could just get their personal information with Sung Yu-chan’s help.

It was a pity that secondary work was involved, but he was satisfied with the fact that he made possible what he couldn’t even imagine before.

“Mr. Yuchan. Please come to my office.”

Yu-hyun immediately called Sung Yu-chan. He had been happier than usual lately because of his relationship.

The blind date between Jukyungseo and Sung Yu-chan led by Baek Seo-ryeon ended in an unexpected success.

He had never seen it himself, but Baek Seo-ryeon told him that Jukyungseo had been interested in Sung Yu-chan from the beginning.

They were each other’s ideal types, so they must have hit it off surprisingly well.

Thanks to that, Sung Yu-chan couldn’t stop smiling.

Rather, his enthusiasm for work increased, and he recently brought him various information without Yu-hyun asking him to.

“Mr. Kang Yu-hyun. Did you call me?”

“Yes. I have some people to look for.”

Yu-hyun said that and handed him a tablet.

There were dots on each map, and there were more than 10 of them.

“What is this?”

“I need to find people in the places where I marked.”

“You don’t know who they are exactly?”

“Yes. But they may have experienced something strange recently or gained a mysterious power. If they hide their identity, maybe not, but if they are people who have gained new powers, they will surely make some noise. You need to find those people. Is it hard?”

“No. If you look at the map, it’s much narrower than towns or villages, so you should be able to find them easily. It’s not even a neighborhood level, it’s an apartment complex level. You narrowed down the range to this extent, so you can’t miss it.”

“Well, I’m not sure if they live there. As soon as the sun sets and night falls, I’ll correct the wrong parts and send them back to you.”

“That’s enough.”

“Okay. Then please work hard.”

Sung Yu-chan bowed his head to Yu-hyun and tried to leave his office.

Just then, something came to Yu-hyun’s mind and he stopped Sung Yu-chan.

“Mr. Yuchan.”

“Yes, Mr. Kang Yu-hyun. Do you have anything else to ask me?”

“No, not that. I’m just curious about something personal. You said you’re dating Ms. Kyungseo, are you okay? Nothing hard?”

“Not at all. I’m happy every day.”

“Then I’m glad.”

He felt relieved to hear him say that.

Yu-hyun sent Sung Yu-chan away and sat quietly in his seat with gloves on his hands.

Now all he had to do was wait.

***

Sung Yu-chan soon brought him the information he needed.

Most of the people who gained power didn’t hide their traces well, so he had no trouble finding them.

Among them, Yu-hyun checked the fragment closest to him first.

‘Hmm?’

Yu-hyun, who checked the list of the presumed owners of the fragment, widened his eyes slightly and soon smiled at the corner of his mouth.

“What is it?”

“A guest has arrived.”

“A guest? Do I look like I’m in a position to see a guest?”

“It’s Manager Kang Yu-hyun.”

At those words, Agael sprang up from her seat.

Her face twisted with rage.

“Who?”

“Manager Kang Yu-hyun...”

“Don’t you dare call that bastard by his honorific in front of me.”

“...”

“Sigh. Fine. What did he come for?”

“He said he wanted to talk to you about Do Gang-joon.”

Agael’s eyebrows twitched.

The fact that he mentioned Do Gang-joon’s name at this timing meant that he knew what was going on in this side.

Agael clenched her teeth, but she didn’t feel the need to refuse.

Do Gang-joon had left her anyway. If she could do anything to that scoundrel, she was willing to meet with Kang Yu-hyun and have a conversation.

She honestly felt that it was all Kang Yu-hyun’s fault that she was in this mess, but she couldn’t take revenge on him since he had risen to an untouchable position.

There were rumors that he was close with Romulaxis from the Celestial Ice Department, and that Celestina, the director, was keeping an eye on him.

More than anything, Agael needed someone to vent her anger on.

It was Do Gang-joon, and she didn’t care if she had to face a tiger as long as she could cut off the neck of the fox who betrayed her.

‘But he didn’t come to help me out of kindness, he came because he had something to gain from this side.’

Then she wasn’t going to let him have it easily.

“Let him in.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

Soon, the adjutant left and a young man took his place.

“It’s been a while. Manager Agael. Or should I just call you Agael now?”

He walked towards her with a sly smile on his face. His name was Kang Yu-hyun.

Agael’s eyes turned fierce for a moment, then returned to normal.

“Congratulations on your promotion, Manager Kang Yu-hyun. I knew you could make it this far!”

“Of course. And I can go even further.”

“Haha. That’s hard to say.”

“Well, we both know that we don’t want to see each other’s smiling faces for too long. We’re not on good terms. You don’t like seeing me, and neither do I. So let’s just get to the point and part ways.”

Agael nodded, agreeing with him.

Kang Yu-hyun looked at her and sneered inwardly.

In her previous life, she was a devil who blew people’s heads off and brought all kinds of trials as soon as the end of the world began.

But what about her now?

She had lost all her supporters, and she couldn’t do anything but watch the upper echelons.

He wanted to make her suffer like Jin-pung did, but that would be too easy for Agael.

For someone who was arrogant and prideful like Agael, the real revenge was to make her continue this miserable life.

“So. The reason I came here is, as I said before, Do Gang-joon.”

“Do Gang-joon? What do you want from me? His personal information? You must know that he left me and went over to your side.”

“That’s why I came here. Even if he left you, you were working together until recently. Oh, can I sit down for a moment?”

Agael nodded reluctantly.

Kang Yu-hyun sat down on a guest chair that fit his size and casually crossed his legs.

“Do Gang-joon collector has been very active lately. I wonder if he took some kind of aphrodisiac.”

“I don’t know anything about that. Maybe the Exodus guys who made a new contract with him know.”

“They must have taken him away.”

“I wouldn’t know.”

She said that, but Agael was half-sure that they did it.

Damn them. I supported them so much.

“Well, then it doesn’t matter to you whether Do Gang-joon dies or not?”

Kang Yu-hyun blurted out those words and Agael flinched.

“...I’d rather he died.”

Do Gang-joon knew too much from working with her.

She had put a gag clause in the contract, but even if he couldn’t speak directly, he couldn’t stop him from expressing it indirectly.

Do Gang-joon was no longer a sore finger for Agael.

He was just a stranger she wished didn’t exist.

“Then this will be easier.”

Kang Yu-hyun clapped his hands and made a proposal to Agael.

“Let me get rid of Do Gang-joon for you.”
