Chapter 259

of Episode 259

, the direction of the Park siblings’ actions was clear. He was protected by never truly trusting others, not helping anyone easily, and never taking action recklessly. Thanks to this quiet will, the Park siblings were able to survive for a long time.

However, now that they met Lee Jae-heon, who remembered their past lives, the Park siblings had changed a little.

“It’s no use talking to uncle.”

“I think it would be quicker to sanction behavior than to make people realize what is wrong.”

The adults nodded at the two students’ active arguments. It was easy to exchange opinions because Yoon Garam escaped while holding Lee Jaeheon and was talking among ourselves.

“I’m not saying we should give up like this, but... the situation is the situation.”

“In a world where you never know when a monster may strike, it is difficult to correct each and every twisted common sense. As student Da-hoon said, it is better to make another excuse to catch him.”

“But we said, ‘Ah! What should I do if I think, ‘I can do this!’?”

“Is the manager really not a child and would think in such black and white terms?”

“I could...”

“...like this.”

Ha Seong-yoon lowered his hand from touching his earlobe and muttered in a soft voice.

“It’s really varied. “It’s not like we’re educating kindergartners... Minhong and Seoah will be able to communicate better than that guy.”

“It’s sad that I can’t deny it.”

Since the commonality of the survivors who enter the underworld is that they are ‘highly likely to be insane’, the current survivors knew that Min-hong and Seo-ah were different from the average children. Nevertheless, the two children looked really ordinary on the outside and were just receiving affection from adults.

But what about Jaeheon Lee? What about the man who said he was 40 years old?

“Even if the way of thinking is the same, isn’t what you do wrong?”

“Even if you tell me not to do it, they won’t listen....”

“I really didn’t know that telling them that they were sick when they were sick was that difficult.”

“If you just kept your mouth shut, it would be half less obnoxious.”

“It’s not even stupid, but it also digs into people’s near misses.”

The faces of the survivors were filled with fatigue as they released one by one the things that had accumulated over Lee Jae-heon. These were the faces of those who were tormented by an insane but capable troublemaker.

“I feel like scolding him and saying, ‘If you’re going to do that, you can take care of it yourself!’ But the manager really seems like he can take care of it on his own, so I can’t even get angry at him.”

Even if you get angry, you have to understand and respond back from the other side to make a sound. Lee Jae-heon doesn’t understand why the other person is angry, and even if he understands, he says, ‘Oh okay. “Don’t worry,” he said. He was a man who had gone off somewhere and his life or death was unknown. His self-esteem was so low that he didn’t seem to recognize that the other person was angry because he was worried about him.

Moreover, it was true that Manager Lee Jae-heon’s environment was too problematic to be angry about something like that.

“...I guess that’s real. The family environment is a bit...”

“The fact that Lee Dang Group combined with an illegal loan company during Lee Jae-heon’s parents’ generation is information that can be found out if you pay a little attention. So, they are commonly referred to as private loan sharks. Even if you have always managed your image, the essence of it will not go anywhere, so you may be familiar with illegal elements.”

“It’s not that we don’t know, it’s almost certain, isn’t it? “What kind of brothers would do something like that just because they raise their voices to each other?”

Ha Seong-yoon nodded at the sight of Jeong In-ho, who could not bear to say the word ‘torture’.

“The manager himself knew that it was a strange thing, but he didn’t seem to know how scary and dangerous it was. Would the misunderstanding have been easily resolved if Lee Jae-heon had not been royal? “He seems to think that this difference in common sense arose because he was born into a wealthy royal family, unlike most families.”

“If I hadn’t been Royal in the first place, I might never have been in that situation.”

“Now that I think about it, Detective Hong Gyeong-jun seemed to already know something. “Is it true that you meet often without us knowing?”

In response to Ha Seong-yoon’s question, Hong Gyeong-jun tapped his forearm with his fingers crossed. He distinguished between what could be said and what could not be said and answered Ha Seong-yoon’s words in a natural tone.

“you’re right. We first met at a park, and then we were invited to Jaeheon Lee’s home and we talked. “At his request, I went to visit the survivors.”

“...Manager, what should I really do....”

“Yeonhee.”

“I don’t know much about this... It’s my first time, so what should I do? “What will I do if the manager dies...?”

Seeing her shaking and muttering quickly, Kang Min-ah patted her and Park Da-young came over and comforted Kwon Yeon-hee. Kwon Yeon-hee’s face turned sour from the moment the topic of her home environment came up and she looked very frightened. Even if the harassment is not directed at you.

Park Da-hoon slightly tilted his head.

“....”

“Dahun?”

“Ah yes.”

When Da-hoon Park turned his head and looked at In-ho Jeong, who had called me, he said with a straight smile.

“You said you would go to the convenience store when the sun came up, right?”

“Yes, that’s true, but...”

“If possible, would you please stay with the manager? “With Dayoung.”

“Are we?”

“I thought having children next to him would limit the manager’s behavior. “Because it is harmful to minors.”

“Ah...”

Park Da-hoon nodded at those words. Lee Jae-heon tries to shake people off by acting needlessly sensitive, but he also knows that such acting softens in front of his siblings and kindergarten students. If I pretended to be scared and stayed close to him, he wouldn’t leave.

After thinking that far, Park Da-hoon opened his mouth.

“Okay. I think he would be against it if we told him we were going to the convenience store...”

“Okay, thank you.”

“But you know what? “Even if we stick around, we can’t catch them if the situation becomes dangerous.”

This was already proven when a green algae monster invaded the pavilion in the park. Even though Park Da-hoon and Park Da-young tried their best to block the way, Jae-heon Lee was the one who would leave without feeling sorry if he could save the others by replacing one of them.

Jeong In-ho, who knew that, also nodded obediently.

“So, I’m going to keep Garam Yoon next to me as well.”

“...great.”

Da-hoon Park thought that was a pretty good decision. This was because Yoon Ga-ram was very dependent on Lee Jae-heon in a different way than her siblings, and Lee Jae-heon also seemed to think of Yoon Ga-ram as a half-younger child. Moreover, unlike minors who did not have much power, Garam Yoon was actually a person with good abilities.

I don’t know the details of his abilities, but he can light something on fire, and although his stamina is mediocre, his strength is good. Although he was slightly insane, he was someone who could hold Jaeheon Lee back by force. Da-hoon Park was positive about Gar-ram Yoon joining.

“Of course, this won’t solve the manager’s fundamental problem, but...”

Jeong In-ho’s gaze fell on Kwon Yeon-hee, who burst into tears. I thought that the reason I looked so pale was probably because I was greatly influenced by the other side of the world. Doesn’t this mean that Lee Jae-heon’s home environment was shocking?

“...I have no choice but to do it like this for now.”

“...Yes.”

“I’m a little tired.”

Jeong In-ho and Park Da-hoon had a rough guess about each other’s family history. It was because there was a sense of kinship that only those who grew up oppressed by strong and violent parents could feel. Although no one ever spoke up first because they thought it was not the time to reveal such deep details.

The emotions they felt while looking at Lee Jae-heon were varied, but...

“...should I go in before the manager thinks anything more strange?”

It’s already too late.

For some reason, I always felt that way.
