Chapter 193: Shut up and hand it over 5 (1/2)
“Is this yours?”
Chloe was currently in the northernmost tip of Canada. It was where the train that Yoo Jaeha had created had stopped.
She had escaped while avoiding Ju-Heon and Seol-A’s gazes and was trying to grab a cab to go to the airport.
But at that moment…
“Hmm.”
She was blankly staring at the rope she had met around the station.
She probably found it interesting that a rope was carrying a rock and waiting for the light to turn green to cross at the crosswalk.
Of course, the rope was also tilting its head in confusion as it observed Chloe.
Why?
It was because she smelled a nice familiar scent on Chloe. It was oddly the same as Ju-Heon’s scent.
In addition, her long wavy black hair, white skin, sharp nose, beautiful lips…
And her light blue eyes that sparkled like jewels were extremely beautiful.
Other people might think that her gaze was a bit cold, but it didn’t seem that way to the rope.
Maybe that was the reason.
“This is yours, right?”
The rope happily accepted the stone Chloe handed it.
This was the artifact to turn it into a human.
[#$&#!]
Thank you, thank you!
But at that moment…
Tap!
“Alright, we got a big one!”
Someone suddenly grabbed onto the rope.
[!]
The rope started to squirm in shock like a snake, but the man was laughing.
“It looks like a trashy artifact but it is a big fish indeed. Chloe, you did good.”
The rope started to huff and choked the man.
[#$&!]
I'm not a trashy artifact! No!
The rope was an S-Grade artifact after all.
The rope's eyes soon flashed and it tried to activate its BDSM rope harness knot.
However…
[!]
The rope suddenly lost all strength as the man squeezed its body.
“My goodness, this thing is quite energetic.”
[………?!]
What’s going on? What’s going on?
The rope was quickly able to figure out what had happened.
The gloves. It was certain that the Divine-Grade artifact gloves that the man was wearing had caused this.
The man grabbed the rope as if it was a snake and spun it around as he snickered.
“Anyway, Chloe. Let’s use this one to capture the Monarchs as well.”
They then called a cab and as the man was about to force the rope into the cab…
Flash!
“Huh? ”W, what the?!”
There was a flash and something shocking had happened.
”W, what the hell…all of a sudden… aaaaaah!”
The man suddenly screamed.
It couldn’t be helped as a kid bit the man's forearm and ran away.
“Hold on…!”
The man who was shocked at this tried to grab the child out of reflex.
“Hey! Stop right there! If it can change into a human, that’s definitely at least an S-Grade…!”
The man quickly started to move.
However…
“Ugh!”
The man fell down. It was because someone had tripped him.
“Shit, what the hell are you doing Chloe?!”
Chloe, who was sitting on a chair, nonchalantly responded.
”Sorry. My legs are a bit long. Forgive me.”
“……?!”
The man glared at Chloe in disbelief.
“You let that kid go on purpose, didn't you!”
“No?”
“No my ass! Why would you let an artifact that walked in on its own……plop!”
The man's face slammed into the snow once again. Chloe had tripped him once more.
“Hey! Chloe!”
Chloe just clicked her tongue as she got into the cab.
“You should really look where you’re going.”
“Ho.”
‘That bitch.’
The angry man got into the cab as well and started to speak.
“Ah, whatever! Did you hear about it? TKBM is looking for you!”
“What do they want?”
“Chairman Kwon. Remember how he was stuck in a tomb because of Seo Ju-Heon? They need someone to heal him.”
“Really? That’s an interesting job offer.”
The man was shocked at her unexpected response.
“Huh? Are you interested in Chairman Kwon? Weren’t you interested in Seo Ju-Heon?”
Chloe slightly sneered at him.
She was definitely interested.
Was it because he was the most famous artifact user right now?
No, that wasn’t it.
‘Déjà vu.’
Chloe had recently met a woman who uses a spider artifact.
She had been having nightmares since that day.
They were so bad that she would vomit.
‘What the hell is that dream?’
She was inside a terrible tomb she had never seen before and looking at some people dying in there. Seo Ju-Heon had appeared in that dream.
‘His age was different but that was definitely Seo Ju-Heon.’
Of course, there was no way that she would know that that was the Crow's tomb, the tomb where she, and the rest of the tomb raiding team, had met their demise.
But the pain had felt real. She was angrily shouting something at Seo Ju-Heon in that dream.
‘I'm going to kill you… I'm going to kill you.’
She was saying that as if she was going to throw up blood in anger.
Chloe didn't know the full contents of that dream. That was why she had just come up with a hypothesis based on what she had seen.
‘Seo Ju-Heon might be an enemy.’
She was already someone who had a grudge against artifact users.
