Chapter 18 (2/2)
”&h.e.l.lip; It isn't like that. I just don't like her expression. She is trying to create an image that she works hard.”
“She is the 15th ranked. What are you?” Of course, I already knew Yang Su-jin was ranked 41st.
”Still&h.e.l.lip;”
“You just have to follow my instructions. Clearly understand the line separating both of us. You don't seem like the type of make a mistake like this.”
”&h.e.l.lip;” Now there was only one spot left. Among all the people, one woman walked out. I thought she would come out, and I had been watching her from the beginning.
3rd rank.
The second time I saw her, Yoo Su-jeong had a creepy smile on her face. I had seen her kill and take An Su-hyun's abilities two days ago. “I thought you would be popular, but this is beyond what than I imagined. You even caught a cute schoolgirl.” There was admiration mixed in, causing Yang Su-jin to feeluncomfortable.
In fact, I was quite uncomfortable as well. Yoo Su-jeong was wearing a grey dress that showed off her body and seemed to be intended to maximize her s.e.x appeal.
”I&h.e.l.lip;”
“Go back and wait.” I interrupted before Yoo Su-jeong managed to completely speak.
“Eh? Aren't you going to listen to my story?”
“You are the 3rd ranked, so what do I need to hear?”
”Still&h.e.l.lip;”
“I don't want to hear one more word.” As soon as I finished speaking, I beckoned to the people leaning against the wall. I headed towards the nearby stage. Then I beckoned to Yoo Su-jeong.
”&h.e.l.lip;Well, okay. It wouldn't be bad to let you follow me.”
Yoo Su-jeong shook as she walked back towards me.
As she looked at me with discomfort, I grabbed Yang Su-jin's shoulder, lowered my voice and whispered, “Walk with me.”
”Yes&h.e.l.lip;? Yes.” She slowed down as naturally as possible, without making it seem like she had deliberately slowed down. On the other hand, I repeated numbers one by one.It was my cell phone number.
”Memorize it.”
”Yes.”
“Contact me as soon as you leave.”
”&h.e.l.lip; Are you going to buy me a meal?” What was she talking about? Obedience was good. There was the Leaders.h.i.+p talent so I was sure that there were plenty of talents in this field. Finally, after climbing onto the stage, I looked at all the ones left out.
To be honest, a leader might prefer leading those with insufficient abilities. However, the more competent and ambitious a person was, the more they would expect an equal relations.h.i.+p. Yoo Su-jeong was separate from that.
[Is this group of seven okay?]
The stone statue asked me. Once again, I read the invisible expression. It was smiling like it knew everything.
”Yes.”
I answered despite the statue's ability to read my mind. I never thought I would be a leader. A person should know their capabilities. 'Not being able to do it now' was different from 'not being able to do it.'
Right now, I wasn't going to take care of those on the stage. I was better than them. I had enough talent to be ranked first and would receive new talents on the sixth floor. Yang Su-jin also had the means of distinguis.h.i.+ng between potions and poisons.
On the next floor, I would kill five people. In reality, I would cooperate with Yang Su-jin and start the poisoning first. Subtracting one of the siblings, the actual number was four. It was fortunate that I could bring in someone slightly lacking due to his older sister.
Even if I had poison, it was a big risk to take down five people.
[Now, move on to the 6th floor!]
[5th floor cleared.]
My eyes opened. “&h.e.l.lip;Well.” Today, I had a test. I brushed my teeth, went to the bathroom and organized my schedule in my head.
I would go to school early in the morning and study with a friend until lunch. The test was at 2 p.m. And in the evening&h.e.l.lip; I would meet with Yang Su-jin to make a plan.
However, there still wasn't a phone call from Yang Su-jin. There was also no rice in the rice cooker. I had forgotten to buy rice yesterday. Should I eat at the convenience store?
I put on sweatpants and left the front door. The elevator was just coming down from the fifth floor. My place was on the fourth floor. Ah, I missed it&h.e.l.lip;
Dding.
The elevator stopped. Why was it was stopping at the fourth floor? There was no one I knew upstairs who would stop here except for the caretaker. I expected to see An Su-hyun's face when the door opened. However, it was the face of a woman.
“Ah, you were coming out.” Yoo Su-jeong greeted him with a sincere expression.
“The day before yesterday. The manager told me. Hee-chul ssi lives in No. 405.”
I formed fists inside my pockets. I was conscious of the CCTVs in the corridor. My expression didn't change. “I don't want to be stalked.”
“Is that so? Hehe. I’m sorry if you are offended. But it couldn't be helped. I definitely needed to see you.” I clicked my tongue and walked towards the elevator. The next moment, Yoo Su-jeong fell to her knees.
I pulled my fists out of my pockets and&h.e.l.lip; Yoo Su-jeong was begging on her knees. “What are you doing? This&h.e.l.lip;”
“Well. Isn't this the basic posture when asking for a request?”
A request?
”Please don't kill me. Please.” Yoo Su-jeong smiled brightly as she begged.
