Chapter 3: A Day with a Strange Fortune (3)
Choi Chi-Woo’s s: the space large enough to fit a soccer field and the walls that were all pure white just like the ceiling There was nothing else in the space
“I’m sure you’re surprised, sir You must feel like you were in a dream” The man with a fedora hat said, and Chi-Woo’s hand moved in a flash
Slap!
He hit his face with all he had Then he pinched his tingling cheeks Not yet satisfied, he pinched his thighs as well
“Uhahhh!” He even tried running into the hile shouting The giant man didn’t stop Chi-Woo He si afterwards, Chi-Woo breathed heavily and glared at the , sir Nor are you hypnotized,” the man said calmly “To explain it simply, I created an avatar that is connected to your mind and called you to this place Since this connection is quite strong, it shares senses with your h impact, the connection will break off”
Chi-Woo’s face made it clear that he hadn’t understood a word of what the man said
“That is…I played a trick on the ave you, sir” The man smiled and stretched out his hand “But well, that’s not really io out now?”
Chi-Woo didn’t take theabout, but I’lare at thethat I ake up if I receive a shock strong enough to kill ht?”
The ly hope that you would refrain from such behavior” His voice was stern “Sir Choi Chi-Woo, you are an ordinary person right now” The man pointed at Chi-Woo and placed his hand on his own chest “However, I am not”
“So what?”
“It means that I can forcefully overpower you if I wish to Of course, I do not have the slightest desire to treat you with such disrespect”
“Ah, is that so?” Chi-Woo cut the rateful that so me”
“That’s not what Iyou that I’htly and shouted, “I just need one chance One chance to prove to you!” Clearly frustrated, he thumped his chest “If you follow me…I’m confident that I can convince you”
“…”
“I know the situation is really confusing for you, but…”
While theto tell me?” He still looked doubtful as he said, “What is it that you’re going to convince me about?”
“I just told you, sir,” the ly “That sir Choi Chi-Hyun is a hero And you are one too”
Chi-Woo grunted loudly
“Of course, you’re not one currently, but you possess all the qualities to be a hero”
“Yeah, right” Chi-Woo snorted “Why don’t you tell randma are all heroes too?”
“They are, sir”
“What?”
“Your parents and your grandparents are all heroes Of course, they are all retired now”
“…What?” Chi-Woo’s mouth dropped open at the man’s ready admission “How come only I didn’t know?” Chi-Woo nodded in disbelief In a voice dripping with sarcasm, he said, “To think everyone in my family were heroes just like people fro!?” Then he asked, “How come no one told me?”
“I am also curious about that, sir,” the e when I researched about you A the direct lines in your family, there was no exception How come only you…” The man was at a loss for words A heavy silence descended between them
“…Then” Chi-Woo broke the silence and asked bitterly, “Is this the time where you tell me my parents picked me up from the streets?”
“Certainly not,” the man denied it immediately “Most don’t know of your current circumstances, but there’s no doubt that you are the Choi family’s hereditary son”
Chi-Woo covered his face with both hands Nothing he said was getting through the ht sir?” After a brief pause, the man said with a tired voice “It’s the same for me too I want to help him in any possible way” He sounded desperate “I pronificant life on the line, I would let you meet him So please!” The man dropped to his knees and bowed so deeply towards Chi-Woo that his head was touching the floor “…I beg you”
Chi-Woo looked at theon the floor without htened his posture and walked a couple of steps to the side An entrance hidden by the ure appeared into view TheChi-Woo to the entrance, turned around, and trudged forward He was trusting Chi-Woo to follow hirow farther away frohed deeply when the man disappeared into the entrance
“…Ah, seriously?”
He rumpled his hair with both hands and scratched his scalp Perhaps the htly
“Ha!”
