Chapters Chapter 157: Brutally and Violently (1/2)

F-Father?

Even though she wasn't fully conscious, Arshelly could hear the voice of her beloved father.

“F-Father…?”

Arshelly spoke to Kang Chul-In with a weak voice.

“Yes, daughter.”

Kang Chul-In answered.

“I’m here. Your dad is here. So…”

Kang Chul-In hopped off the Altaica.

“Don’t worry.”

Saying this, Kang Chul-In’s eyes were full of fatherly love.

“D-Don’t tell me…”

When he saw this, Sheville Polansky---

“A-ah... ah!!!”

Seemed liked he was about to fall over on the spot from shock.

“T-That little b*tch... w-was the daughter of… O-Overlord Kang Chul-In…?!”

This wasn't even close to just a small mistake, so it was as if Sheville had stepped into a field of explosive mines.

The daughter of Overlord Kang Chul-In?

He had kidnapped the daughter of the man that even Baruk Al-Yusuf had to kneel to?

And he was planning on killing her before turning her into his mannequin?

T-This can’t be… No… No… NOOOO!!!

Sheville wanted to bite his tongue and die.

“This… won’t happen again.”

Without taking so much as a glance at Sheville, Kang Chul-In promised.

“I… believe you, father…”

Arshelly spoke, her voice trembling.

Her voice resembled that of a dying person's.

When he heard it, Kang Chul-In’s heart felt like it was being torn apart.

“I-I love you, father…”

“Me too.”

“Dad… Please save the ones trapped there too…”

Arshelly pointed at the other children stuck inside the glass containers.

“Don’t worry.”

Kang Chul-In answered.

The Bittermoon territory would soon be taken over by Baruk Al-Yusuf anyway, and he wouldn’t kill those children since he followed the Islamic law.

“Yes, father. I can’t anymore... my eyes…”

“It’s okay, you can go ahead and close them.”

Grabbing Arshelly, Kang Chul-In patted her on the back.

“Don’t worry. What is there to worry about when dad is here?”

“You're right…”

“When you wake up, we’ll both be in Laputa.”

“Yes, father… I love…”

While Arshelly was speaking,

Droop.

Her eyelids shut closed, and her head drooped down.

With Kang Chul-In here, Arshelly was finally able to fall asleep in peace.

At last, Kang Chul-In didn’t feel the same emptiness he had felt before.

Was family such an important thing…?

Kang Chul-In realized just how important Arshelly was to him now.

And,

Son! Come and visit home more often!

His mother's, Park Sun-Ja’s, voice echoed in his head.

He couldn’t understand why he had ignored his mother in his past life, and instead only focused on waging war.

You, and mother.

Kang Chul-In vowed.

I won’t let any harm come to you.

-------

While Kang Chul-In was speaking to Arshelly, Sheville Polansky started to tiptoe towards the exit.

Of course, the problem was that Arshelly and Kang Chul-In weren’t the only ones in the room.

-Krrrr!

The Altaica growled towards him, as if warning him.

“...!”

Afraid of the giant beast, Sheville stopped moving.

-Grrrr!

The Altaica showed off its fangs, which were still dripping with flesh blood. It also started to circle around him, intensifying his fright.

This damned beast!

Even though Sheville's eyes reddened from rage, there was nothing he could do.

-Hmph!

The Altaica snorted, ignoring him.
