"Oh! s.h.i.t!" Oh Chaeyoung exclaimed.
Hearing Oh Chaeyoung curse under her breath, Lee Soohyun stared at her, and before Soohyun could guess what was going on, she felt her wrist being gripped by someone.
Looking up, Lee Soohyun noticed that Chaeyoung was the one behind it, and before she could process what was going on, Soohyun was pulled by Chaeyoung towards the stairs.
Screams left the mouth of other people, and before Soohyun could look back to see what was going on, Chaeyoung voiced out, "Hurry up! Don't look down! We don't have time for that."
Hearing how people were shouting, a chill went down Soohyun's back, and her eyes widened at a thought. Were they being attacked at this moment?
Turning back, Lee Soohyun noticed a thick beige dust, making it hard for her to make out what was going on. Nonetheless, from the little that was visible to her, Soohyun could make out that a group of people were running.
Then, Soohyun's eyes fell towards Oh Chaeyoung. Staring at her, Soohyun wondered on whether or not she could trust her. Lee Soohyun stopped in her steps, causing Chaeyoung to turn back.
"What are you doing? Hurry up!" Chaeyoung voiced out, "We don't have time."
"How can I even trust—Ah!"
Before Lee Soohyun could continue, she found herself being carried in a bridal style by someone, and a gasp left her mouth in response. Finding the embrace familiar, Lee Soohyun looked up and saw that it was Han Minhyun.
Seeing him at this moment made relief spread through Soohyun, and she questioned, "What is going on?"
Seeing Minhyun, Oh Chaeyoung bowed and enunciated, "Master Minhyun."
"I'll take care of her, Chaeyoung. You should go and find Ahn Eunwoo," Minhyun voiced out.
Before Lee Soohyun could figure out what was happening, Minhyun ran towards the uppermost floor— the speed making her slightly dizzy.
"Keep your mouth closed. All your questions will be answered later on," Minhyun stated.
Seeing how serious the situation was, Lee Soohyun nodded and rested her head on Minhyun's chest while feeling powerless— a feeling Soohyun did not find herself liking.
As Han Minhyun rushed into the hallway, Lee Soohyun clutched tightly onto his shirt, and closing her eyes, Soohyun prayed that everything would be over soon. Her heart beat rapidly in her chest.
As both of them reached the corner of the hallway, Han Minhyun turned the k.n.o.b to open the door, and entering into the room, Minhyun placed her down on top of a flat surface. Raising her head, she looked at her surroundings. It looked as if she was in a storeroom. The dust caused Soohyun to cough before she held her face.
Before Soohyun could ask Minhyun something, the door burst open, and a scream left her mouth. Two men entered the room, and her eyes widened. Pieces of wood came flying towards them, and Minhyun stood in front of her in order to protect her.
Turning back to face Soohyun, Minhyun said, "Protect yourself as best as you can. That will be the perfect way to help me."
With determined eyes, Soohyun nodded. If she was completely safe, Han Minhyun would most definitely be strong.
As Minhyun was about to turn back, one of the two men tried to attack him from the back with a sword, and before the man could attack him, Minhyun held the metal surface of the sword, breaking it into two.
A wince left Minhyun's mouth after he had broken it, and looking at his hand, he noticed that a burn mark formed, which was not healing. It seemed like the Blue Clan had invented something which could be used against them, and if this managed to injure him to this extent, then this was definitely something to be conscious of.
Putting on the gloves Han Minhyun had removed earlier, Minhyun held the hand of the first man and flipped him. The other man jumped towards him from the top. As this male was about to attack him, Han Minhyun disappeared and appeared behind the attacking male in less than a second.
Han Minhyun pushed the hand of the man in front, causing the sword to drive through the heart of the man who had attacked him first. The other man stood up first— his sword coloured with red.
The man who had a sword driven through his heart had his wound healing in a matter of seconds, surprising Han Minhyun, and his eyes sharpened.
Although the healing abilities of the Blue Clan were faster than the Yellow Clan, it was not this fast, and moreover, the sword went through his heart. It appeared that this new drug the Blue Clan had created was extremely dangerous.
The other man began to laugh and said, "Han Minhyun, it would not be that easy to kill us."
Han Minhyun chuckled and retorted, "Who said anything about killing you? I will be taking you along with me and have a fun time experimenting on you."
A dark look sat on Han Minhyun's eyes, and a s.a.d.i.s.tic glint appeared in his eyes. The chuckle he released was bone-chilling, and Lee Soohyun felt a shiver go down her spine.
Soohyun could feel the murderous aura surrounding Minhyun, and this side of Minhyun was not something she had seen before— the side he showed whilst dealing with enemies.
Both of the men staring at Han Minhyun had creases in between of their eyebrows. The man who attacked Minhyun first laughed and said, "Han Minhyun, no matter how many times you try to attack us, you wouldn't be able to weaken us."
When the other man was about to open his mouth, he found himself unable to do so, and the man who attacked Minhyun first was able to step forward when he found himself rooted to his place. Both of them were immobilized.
Seeing that, Soohyun's eyes widened. How powerful was Han Minhyun? Soohyun then recalled that Junghyun once did a similar attack on her.
"Giving you new toys to play around with you wouldn't change the fact that you are weak," Minhyun vocalised, "At such a weak stage, being so haughty doesn't seem appropriate."
"Awesome, Minhyun!" Lee Soohyun exclaimed whilst clapping her hands. No matter how Minhyun was, it would not change the fact that Soohyun found him cool at this moment.
Lee Soohyun heard noises of clapping, and she was sure that the noise was made by neither her nor Han Minhyun. Raising her head, Soohyun looked at who it was.
"Impressive, Han Minhyun, as always."
"Jung Beomsoo," Minhyun enunciated.
