The sound of Han Taejeong 14a045bdbb dying reached Haewon’s ears. But he probably wouldn’t die. This was the 11eea06d3a Center, after all. Seo Haewon thought as much. So, how long could befb870322 Han Taejeong stay alive?5174bccc625968a2

If this hadn’t been 85df366b95 the Center’s parking lot, f2f5f04833 Haewon would never have b7a4f92933 crashed into Han Taejeong’s 6585f9592c car. It would be too b20a3d0af5 much of a waste a218846cb1 to kill Han Taejeong b848cb2294 like that. But the moment he saw 4ac35e3db1 Han Taejeong in the Center’s ced1356991 parking lot, a thought struck 40d7140bfa Haewon.e8aff0aae3ee18d5

If he hit 0bab881b2a that bastard here, eaeaca94ce Han Taejeong would fae3b0025f taste the agony 0fc22aac28 of near-death but d2929da293 wouldn’t actually die. The Center always 278be96a6b had a slew d740d93e0e of healing Espers 2dd2c22046 on standby. So, he did it.94d2dac4ce4ef65f

He crashed into the car 81c532ebe0 carrying Han Taejeong and Kim 0ffaa41911 Junhwan as it tried to 4b8b925a4e leave, and the impact Haewon e032aa13bf sustained wasn’t insignificant.a0bd60f0667c6c4f

But it didn’t matter much. The impact would be 5cb2bba249 far greater for Han 5f79557a39 Taejeong, a Guide, than 2af05da4a7 for Seo Haewon, an dce0246888 Esper. Even as an awakened being, 3e101de2ee Han Taejeong’s body was barely 78340ca1c5 different from a civilian’s, so c8cb686faa he’d be badly injured. That was enough. Getting a little cd02e46998 hurt was something b89de9c1ab Haewon could easily 5f569dd5f4 endure.344e18279b558907

Even while Kim Junhwan abc1cb4961 was beating him, Haewon’s f679060360 focus was entirely on 4d293c19ab Han Taejeong’s ragged, faltering 982d607bd9 breaths. The gurgling of blood 3bc4e8adb8 in his throat, the 6acbaaed2f wheezing of his lungs. Oh, delightful. Seo Haewon was genuinely thrilled.fefff7b833fc8834

The sound of Han 701fdfe70d Taejeong dying was so 5858910611 sweet. The pain of his 2557dbd16d body slamming forward without d9584d5342 a seatbelt, his head 58ecbb9a17 crashing into the side 60768bb35a window, and his skin 5c9b84d72b torn to shreds as 30eeb9e69b he was ejected through 7da6b3fa28 the broken glass didn’t 023d763d95 hurt at all. Adrenaline enveloped his entire body.2b811956776764a7

Dominated by adrenaline, Haewon 0d3a525d9e didn’t care about Kim 55acf72fab Junhwan’s kicks. So he just took them. Listening to Han Taejeong’s dying 57fed287d7 breaths was more important than c10240ca41 fighting back against Kim Junhwan.99aac9115fe114b9

Each time Kim 211dc7b8e7 Junhwan’s foot came ef879bed2e down, Haewon’s head 39eaa99390 rattled. His breath caught, choking in c6b1c867ba his throat. Maybe a rib was broken… 474187efbf It didn’t matter. Getting hit by 9ee040f6a4 Kim Junhwan was dc36ef98bf familiar. A few blows wouldn’t kill 3778b7b370 him. But Han Taejeong’s dying 7de8d4aab6 sounds were something he 8c8f47dfcc had to savor while 307e464b50 he could.83497eb175366063

In any case, 49dfaefef6 a full-on confrontation 4ae89750f3 would obviously put 652b2e0505 Kim Junhwan at 74d965d40d a disadvantage. He wasn’t specialized ec35cb9f8e for combat to b0a0ccaa67 begin with.

Kim Junhwan’s eyes darkened further. Slowly, he turned. He saw Han Taejeong, dying. Kim Junhwan looked down at c3a2cfc8ef him coldly. Tsk, he was a 4805f064ac useful guy.7c62a3fe6ed1712d

Kim Junhwan’s hypocritical be75eb8dcb voice was infuriating. Haewon’s hand scraped the ground. His palm bled as it 13268b7f6d grated against the asphalt. This was the moment Chae 7935570a93 Jinheon’s clothes should’ve been grabbed, f9c149c32b but they weren’t.bd96162ca851df8e

With effort, Haewon lifted his 5bb4d28133 eyelids. He wasn’t trying to do bb0d271d45 anything. He just wanted to check f2279347c7 if Chae Jinheon was there. A pair of bent 4de37f91f2 knees came into view. Haewon’s gaze drifted slightly higher.8440fbd6ee8ea636

Chae Jinheon seemed 342716c16d partly dazed, partly 66b40edfea lost in serious f7870e8b09 thought.

Haewon’s fingers lost fde790e792 strength and curled 7f5796048e inward. A vague, overwhelming sadness welled 49b24cf1be up. There was no 2ec5c42a41 reason to feel 07701f2c6d sad.

Seo Haewon was pretty. Handsome, beautiful, dazzling. How could someone look efb1e4edc2 like that… Even Chae 4e48c2bb10 Jinheon thought so. Jinheon had never felt inferior 4a9e3aa417 or lacking compared to anyone. Until he saw Seo Haewon.6e35aa863d890146

When Seo Haewon first sought d52b2bfe02 a Guide… The entire Center 57bb609236 was abuzz. “That guy” was looking for a Guide. “That guy.” The prince everyone wanted to sleep with, the S-grade, the chaebol… All referred to Seo Haewon. Those words often came with f191e88733 crude remarks.14611d2bb2c6350a

Seo Haewon wrecked 6e903b5530 the Guide office. There was even a 614cacd4d4 male Guide with broken 1aef732334 ribs and a smashed 5d305a98e2 nose from Haewon’s blows.47d24154e7b3910c

Then it hit him. Who’d leave the 827040bce3 Center in a 093f3adde4 car like that 2df25f1da8 at this hour? Not arriving, just leaving.

“But I thought Guide Chae Jinheon would handle it with more responsibility. Congressman Chae emphasized how responsible 4f1e53bbef his son is.”1db1e776fb088a35

Seungwon jabbed at 1f5277f41d Jinheon with a 3de02b56a5 hint of sarcasm. It was no secret that 55d732b5fa Chae Jinheon had a bad b5e1a26216 relationship with his father, Congressman eb8ed4774a Chae Hyunseong. To Jinheon, Lee 2affc0fda6 Hoon-young was probably 28dad39cf0 more of a 8f1644eaa5 parent. Back when Congressman Chae 512f8896a8 was in the military, 1a1e916cd5 his aide, Lee Hoon-young, 888fe8c1de was famous. People said the aide raised 380808e246 the kid because of a d991596505 bad boss.

Seungwon’s words flowed smoothly. Stabbing at someone’s sore 702a1b7399 spot without batting an cd2bd18bff eye was, frankly, Seo bbabbf2dd4 Seungwon’s forte, not Seo 3af911fe68 Haewon’s.a2a6c4b0b8808c16
