Chapter 204: A Hero’s True Character
They saved Abis and even Evelyn after she was revived as a hureat demon who stood at the top of the Demon Empire Based on the results alone, the expedition was a resounding success, so much so that Chi-Woo was shocked when he confirmed the amount of merit points he’d received on his way back
Even though Chi-Woo would have nor achieve so He didn’t even kno he finally fell asleep He turned on his device as soon as he opened his eyes, but he didn’t see any ht his brother was acting unfairly, but he soon made a bitter smile Who was he to insult his brother? His brother probably felt the saone Chi-Woo lay doith a blank stare and soon got up fro prone on the wooden porch as if he were dead
“…Mr Philip?” Chi-Woo doubted his eyes “What happened? Why are you like that?” Philip seemed to be in an extremely bad condition; his spirit was not only faint, but wavering, like he was about to disappear
–Uh…
Philip spoke with a weak voice
–I alot exorcized
“What? By who?”
–By that lady…
There was only one person who could currently be called ‘lady’ in this house Chi-Woo asked, “Lady Evelyn? Why…no Did you perhaps…” Chi-Woo’s eyes blinked a few ti Philip’s lustful behavior, he could roughly guess what had happened last night
–No, I can fully understand why you’re doubtingthis tireatly wronged
–I really didn’t do anything I didn’t even touch a strain of her hair
“Really?”
–Yeah I just lay quietly next to her All I wanted was to be in the sah Philip said it was all a , it awfully didn’t sound like it
–So that’s the only thing I did, but as soon as she opened her eyes, she looked athow cruel she was
[What a crazy bastard]
Chi-Woo agreed with his assistant for the first ti while
–damn it How did she see me? Since she was resurrected, she’s not the witch of the Abyss anymore Then shouldn’t it be normal for her to not be able to see round before he suddenly stoppedand raised his head At the same time, Chi-Woo heard the door open
“H her sleepy eyes Philip screamed and ran away
Chi-Woo asked, “Have you woken up?”
“Yuh…” Evelyn yawned till her small mouth stretched to its limit and leaned her head on Chi-Woo’s shoulder as soon as she sat next to hiht?”
“About what…?”
“I heard soht’
“…Ah, that pervert?” Evelyn s her hand froht I wouldn’t be able to see him He sneaked into my room and tried to lie down next to me, how dare he…”
“Are you able to see spirits?”
“Oh htly “You also seem able to see spirits, but I’ time Can you not see the difference?”
Chi-Woo realized his mistake Evelyn hadn’t almost died; she literally died and came back to life Since she had directly experienced the world after death, it would have been stranger if her spirit eye didn’t awaken
Chi-Woo replied, “On second thought, thatChi-Woo with a sood Were you not able to sleep?”
“…”
“Is it because you don’t feel co with me?”
After Chi-Hyun took Noel, Evelyn followed Chi-Woo to his house She explored the place for a while before she decided she liked it here and picked a roo in the world
“Of course not” Chi-Woo shook his head
“Right? You’re living in the same house with a beautiful woman like me You don’t have to force yourself to act like you’re not overjoyed You can look a bit happier than you already are”
Chi-Woo made a flat s? I wasn’t kidding” Evelyn spoke coyly and then shot Chi-Woo a thoughtful gaze when he sighed in response She asked, “…Is it because of that woman yesterday?”
“Rather than that…”
“Then—” Evelyn slightly raised her head and said, “Is it because of that man who looked intently at you yesterday?”
Chi-Woo stared back at her without realizing it
“It seeuessed correctly” Evelyn smiled “I’m suddenly curious What’s your relationshi+p with him?”
“It’s just…” Chi-Woo mumbled
Evelyn softly curved her eyes and said, “Hht if you don’t”
“I’ize Everyone has a secret” Evelyn stretched as hard as she could and took a deep breath “But still—be careful”
“Sorry?”
“I’ this just in case” Evelyn’s expression turned downcast like she was recalling yesterday’s events “His eyes…”
“His eyes?”
“Yeah How do I say it? Even I have never seen eyes like his” Words like ‘frightening’ and ‘terrifying’ didn’t even begin to describe Chi-Hyun’s eyes Evelyn felt so she had never experienced before when she saw Chi-Hyun “Even at the edge of hell or the Abyss…I’ve never seen anyone with such eyes” Evelyn didn’t know exactly how to put what she felt into words If she had to make a comparison, she would say Chi-Hyun’s eyes looked like those of a serial killer; not even an ordinary one, but an absolute being who could easily control and destroy the lives of millions
Evelyn continued, “You…shouldn’t consider hi like you He’s already a monster who stepped outside of the boundaries of a human—a monster in the shell of a man”
“But you also said I wasn’t human”
“Ah” Evelyln flinched and turned to Chi-Woo She looked at hihtly
“What’s that for?”
“I don’t know I’irl and lay down on the wooden porch
Chi-Woo said, “You should sleep inside”
“No, I’ to sleep here” She curled up like a cat and closed her eyes “The fatigue you feel before falling asleep…and the refreshi+ng feeling you get when you just wake up… Ah, it’s so thrilling How long has it been since I felt this…” Evelyn seemed very pleased to fully enjoy the experiences that only a living huentle wind see slowly turned rhythmic Chi-Woo watched Evelyn sleep for a while and suddenly stood up—as if he hadhis house, Chi-Woo headed to the palace The capital city was quiet, but bustling with activity While there weren’taround, organizing and packing their belongings like they were planning to leave Chi-Woo became curious about the reason as he reached the palace He went on to find the room where his brother usually resided He took a deep breath and knocked on the door There was no reply even after waiting for a few moments In the end, Chi-Woo had no choice but to carefully open the door
He saw his brother inside, sitting at his desk with a look of focus Chi-Woo was about to enter and carefully close the door behind him when—
“I never told you to come in”
His brother’s cold voice lanced at Chi-Hyun and said, “Uh…I want to talk to you”
“Talk?” Chi-Hyun s at Chi-Woo Instead, he focused only on the docu you wanted in your e?”
Chi-Woo replied, “…I’m also curious about Ms Noel’s condition”
“She’s alive,” Chi-Hyun spoke flatly and continued, “But she’s still in a coma If she opens her eyes, I’ll let you know”
“…”
“If you have nothing et out” Chi-Hyun closed his mouth; he made it clear that he had no intentions to talk hed inside Since he had done soize first “Sorry”
Chi-Hyun’s finger stopped while he was flipping over a page
“Because of me, Ms Noel…”
