Chapter 40 (1/2)
Salcido's group left as if they were running away, and the guy Oh Min-Young was contracted with also disappeared fro a fuss
They certainly did not wish to get on Sinyoung's bad side, but whatever the casehad been abandoned by their supposed backers
Didn't matter whether one was an Invited or a Contracted, it was not that hard to iine ould happen to the theot that?” (Hyun Sahng-Min)
Pow!
Blood exploded out frouy's nose
Now that the situation was reversed, Hyun Sahng-Min was like a fish swiet even, and as soon as hearing the words 'Don't kill theuy in the face
The burly guy was already too nuround like a piece of falling paper
”Hey, you fcking son of a btch, how do you feel now, eh?” (Hyun Sahng-Min)
As if that one punch wasn't enough to satisfy hian pounding on hiht? You fcking ashole!!” (Hyun Sahng-Min)
The fists containing all of his e the bone into soft uy went li-Min breathed out heavily while wiping his nose He wasn't done yet, though With a pair of still-burning eyes, he looked around, and…
”Where do you think you're going?!” (Hyun Sahng-Min)
”Ah-ahck?!”
He ran like a wild beast and snatched the hair of Oh Min-Young, who had aler zone
”Weren't you stepping on -Min)
Slap!
With that clear slapping noise, her head spun around hard enough as if it wanted to fly away fro-Min)
Hyun Sahng-Min forciblyher, hard
”Euh-heuph!!” (Oh Min-Young)
Her eyes wide open now, Oh Min-Young covered her round
Her pained screams couldn't escape froround before bursting out in tears
And as Hyun Sahng-Min began kicking her like a soccer ball, Seol was inwardly wondering what he should do here
How should he describe this…?
Those tere indeed in the wrong… But, Seol thought that Hyun Sahng-Min was going just a bit overboard
Even then, asking Hyun Sahng-Min to stop was a problem in itself, too
”…Me, I can endure unfairness, but I can definitely not stand losing out, s when they first ue that the reason why Hyun Sahng-Min ended up in the present situation was all because Seol asked hi to stop hi hih Please stop”
It was then, a ed man ca-Min to grab his arm
”Eish, who the hell… Oh, it's you, ahjussi!” (Hyun Sahng-Min)
Hyun Sahng-Min angrily shook his arm loose and shouted at the -Min)
”I' I had to do”
”Do you even knohat happened to -Min)
”I know I understand, so let's stop for today, okay? She's a property of Sinyoung now, so if you daotta reimburse them”
Seol didn't like the ter-Min did stop his beatings after that The -Min aas his Inviter
”No need to feel sorry for her” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
Kim Hahn-Nah's voice remained icy cold
”There should beto beat her up, you see” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
”Really?” (Seol)
”Yep That incident of Yun Seo-Rah getting beaten up? That woman incited the Cartel boys to do it” (Kiured it all out She was the one telling the the the poor kid with the promise of some free points That was all that btch's handiwork” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
”Seriously?” (Seol)
Seol du out her tears on the ground What little sympathy he had for her fleay in an instant
”That wasn't all, though Didn't she kill the other girl in the Tutorial to steal away her coins? One hit at the back of the head with a )
The youth with the curly hair suddenly butted in The way he kept on s a pleasant fellow, almost to the point where Seol found it scarcely believable that he destroyed the burly guy's hand with nothing but a dagger
This youth saw Seol looking at hi fuss
”Ahh! hello there!! My na? Why don't you carry those two back to our carriage,tried to weasel his way into the conversation, Kim Hahn-Nah suddenly assumed her characteristic pris you find annoying” (shi+n Hahn-Sung)
”Oh, so should I do it?” (Ki)
shi+n Hahn-Sung colare landed on him
”That's why you haven't found a husband yet…” (shi+n Hahn-Sung)
”What did you just say?!” (Kie on, shi+n Hahn-Sung quickly uy and the bitterly resisting Oh Min-Young
Kilared at the curly haired youth, now already nothing more than a small speck in her view
”That bstard really wanna…?!” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
She must've sensed Seol's stare, because she then suddenly caled her expression
”Have you eaten breakfast yet? Should we talk after you had so to eat first?” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
Seol slowly shook his head He lost his appetite after experiencing quite a few unexpected events right after leaving the Zone
As if she was expecting this sort of response, Kim Hahn-Nah proceeded to sweep away the mess of plates off the table It was here that she finally spotted Yun Seo-Rah standing there aardly near thehtly at her
”Miss Yun Seo-Rah? I'otta have a bit of private chat between Seol and I” (Ki should return pretty soon, so why don't you grab an eh the bushes were beat, it was pretty clear as being implied here Yun Seo-Rah was no du at Seol for a moment or two, she quietly turned around to leave
Kiradually walked further away, before latching herself tightly to Seol's side
And the youth got to feel the softness of her curves as she pressed against his elbow Just before the flustered youth could pull his arm away…
”Listen carefully, okay? While we talk, I'll show you two sets of contract papers” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
Kim Hahn-Nah's voice became much lower in tone
”Two sets?” (Seol)
”That's right, two And when I place otta be skeptical of everything I say, okay?” (Ki about?” (Seol)
”I don't have the time to explain it to you I was supposed to take care of Yun Seo-Rah's contract too, but I got a sudden order to let shi+n Hahn-Sung take care of that, instead I'll try to obstruct hiue and all, he'll definitely butt in, so be mindful of that” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
In the naled to Seol with her eyes He didn't think lance around him, before his expression became weird
Now that some amount of time had passed by, all of the survivors as well as those who had invited thehwith other survivors, so at hi for our negotiation to fail” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
Kim Hahn-Nah narrowed her eyes rather prettily and whispered to Seol with a grave voice
”You… You should know of your worth” (Ki)
It was right then a joyful voice entered their ears
'He's back already?' (Seol)
Acco closer to the an affable s near us?” (Ki was about to occupy a seat on the opposite side to them, before an aard smile crept on his face
”Well, I just want to see the skills of the fa)
”You should stop the unfunny co, okay? Why are you trying to weasel your way into our conversation here?” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
”O, come on now, there's a plenty of space here, so please share~” (shi+n Hahn-Sung)
”I told you to scra civil” (Kim Hahn-Nah)
”O, don't be like that In the end, both hi anyways” (shi+n Hahn-Sung)
”And how do you know that?” (Ki her icy tone of voice, shi+n Hahn-Sung displayed a bit of surprised expression
”It's not like that?” (shi+n Hahn-Sung)
”Don't you ever think that I don't knohat's going on here I've already figured out why the higher-ups sent you here with me However, I believe I've already explained h times by now” (Ki)
”Of course, I'll do my utmost best today But the final decision rests with hiet, he's not a Contracted, but an Invited Got that?” (Kio away” (shi+n Hahn-Sung)
'He gave up ht?' (Seol)
He was supposed to cling on incessantly, yet the depressed-looking shi+n Hahn-Sung turned around to leave
However, Seol soon realised that he was underestied another table and placed it close enough to Seol's until they were actually in a touching distance, that hy
Ki in a show of disbelief Seol thought that, after witnessing the curly-haired youth sit down on his spot with a carefree attitude, this guy had to have a substantially thick skin
There was one h And that was Yun Seo-Rah choosing a seat very close to hi's
”I've kept you waiting, miss I'm sure you're curious about why I')
With an attitude that see in on or not, he began the contract negotiation
”Well, the Director was euess the reason why…” (shi+n Hahn-Sung)
Yun Seo-Rah lowered her head a little
”In any case, I'e fro)
Those words caused her to raise her head; her eyes gained renewed light
”…Directly froh Well, it's a no-frills, no-fat, refreshi+ngly direct ht?” (shi+n Hahn-Sung)
Yun Seo-Rah nodded her head to indicate that he should go on
shi+n Hahn-Sung cleared his throat with a fake cough and spoke up
”First of all, I congratulate you on entering the Paradise To be honest, I did not wish for you to step foot into this world, but now that things had turned out this way, I shall respect your choices” (shi+n Hahn-Sung)
”However, your actions during the Tutorial and the Neutral Zone proved to be rather disappointing Most likely, if you hadn't received that young man's aid, you wouldn't even have cleared the Neutral Zone Your older sister is )
Yun Seo-Rah's body flinched just a little, then
”I won't say anything long If you wish to remain in this world, then show )
shi+n Hahn-Sung spoke up to here and placed a dagger on the table
”When you get to the carriage, you'll find those two frouy and the wo)
”…Yes” (Yun Seo-Rah)
”You must kill those two in the presence of the President and Lady Yun Seo-Hui With your own hands” (shi+n Hahn-Sung)
