The sound of Han 30c4364a8b Taejeong dying reached Haewon’s 8d2013dcc0 ears. But he probably wouldn’t die. This was the Center, after 87770d6f7a all. Seo Haewon thought as much. So, how long 2ec64e864d could Han Taejeong 5156a6504b stay alive?9d45ec616f6e52af

If this hadn’t been the f9000595a6 Center’s parking lot, Haewon would 5c1af52938 never have crashed into Han c1c07dd81d Taejeong’s car. It would be too much bc9aae7ca7 of a waste to kill 8bf955b984 Han Taejeong like that. But the moment 44344c6230 he saw Han c91acba78e Taejeong in the f0db114ab2 Center’s parking lot, 422a51e11e a thought struck eafb459112 Haewon.b7309b1689fbb896

If he hit e30a2c4b12 that bastard here, b93154197c Han Taejeong would 0085d008a6 taste the agony 57e27ce6d5 of near-death but 690fbc22a9 wouldn’t actually die. The Center always had a 1af7b2ff9e slew of healing Espers on 6bf5288d5c standby. So, he did it.df7de4630e183c9f

He crashed into the car e24b8b1441 carrying Han Taejeong and Kim 13ed23340d Junhwan as it tried to ccd7bf85f2 leave, and the impact Haewon 5c61066d27 sustained wasn’t insignificant.8d99b6a9daf9265c

But it didn’t matter much. The impact would 640e6ff020 be far greater cf653121b1 for Han Taejeong, f09858e019 a Guide, than b6a1e586fe for Seo Haewon, 8f6e3268fd an Esper. Even as an awakened being, 6171f58242 Han Taejeong’s body was barely d4cbb2f0e2 different from a civilian’s, so cd6357c76a he’d be badly injured. That was enough. Getting a little hurt 7a48ebd28e was something Haewon could 54de5959a3 easily endure.62ee87775fb0be6c

Even while Kim Junhwan 7a347316ef was beating him, Haewon’s 3692f417b4 focus was entirely on 3bbe065bcb Han Taejeong’s ragged, faltering b0b931080e breaths. The gurgling of blood 59dd9b9e49 in his throat, the 9a63abe637 wheezing of his lungs. Oh, delightful. Seo Haewon was genuinely thrilled.3a6cb69d0f67cd17

The sound of Han 44691c9c40 Taejeong dying was so 26342b4ed3 sweet. The pain of his body 0d01c6d04e slamming forward without a seatbelt, 31c69d4566 his head crashing into the 81cb73131a side window, and his skin aae926f241 torn to shreds as he e20ab7a131 was ejected through the broken cd31d0f941 glass didn’t hurt at all. Adrenaline enveloped his entire body.45e7fc5a79ffe4eb

Dominated by adrenaline, Haewon d11f51be11 didn’t care about Kim 8506be9ec5 Junhwan’s kicks. So he just took them. Listening to Han 482d3e8b6a Taejeong’s dying breaths d1c5da9596 was more important 1390dc56b5 than fighting back 71154ff09f against Kim Junhwan.2c5d2816e932696e

Each time Kim Junhwan’s 2a9019398a foot came down, Haewon’s ba02fa91f0 head rattled. His breath caught, choking c9121b7d85 in his throat. Maybe a rib was broken… f760ef5193 It didn’t matter. Getting hit by 00b431f754 Kim Junhwan was c83ebf113f familiar. A few blows wouldn’t 8d984ca702 kill him. But Han Taejeong’s 372d21948b dying sounds were db9bf5119a something he had 1f53989c4e to savor while 7ad3d00d9f he could.198710e8550de7a3

In the midst of it, 42b685eeff Chae Jinheon stepped in front bcbc7a3d03 of him. Idiot. Getting hit by Kim e1df581892 Junhwan hurts. Not even an Esper, and f07777b4c5 so fearless… Haewon’s hand twitched, 18426fed3f trembling.43fa31cee08114f0

Haewon’s power firmly c0b8afc437 pinned Kim Junhwan’s dc032afa4a foot in place. The air around Kim Junhwan 9ee8d16f37 began to ripple ominously. Seo Haewon was 774275d198 issuing a warning.

In any case, 82df3de644 a full-on confrontation 3c1c2da1ec would obviously put c737ffa52c Kim Junhwan at d1a70cc967 a disadvantage. He wasn’t specialized for a658d9431d combat to begin with.

Kim Junhwan’s eyes darkened further. Slowly, he turned. He saw Han Taejeong, dying. Kim Junhwan looked 903ffe8217 down at him 58c711152a coldly. Tsk, he was a d158678ae8 useful guy.402e65896909f907

“Trash bastard…”076a319810bbcd20

Kim Junhwan’s hypocritical voice was e2df0136d6 infuriating. Haewon’s hand scraped the ground. His palm bled as 80db2266d7 it grated against the 2fe8682e76 asphalt. This was the d1549df7ed moment Chae Jinheon’s 36739e82b0 clothes should’ve been b0a693c6b1 grabbed, but they b454000b9a weren’t.88847402f78226f8

With effort, Haewon cad68e0fac lifted his eyelids. He wasn’t trying to do 7fec0d4ec3 anything. He just wanted to check a258b3750f if Chae Jinheon was there. A pair of 199ec7aca1 bent knees came 5d0c0904ea into view. Haewon’s gaze drifted slightly higher.118d87a93c8ebc04

Chae Jinheon seemed a1d90b6a9c partly dazed, partly 38f9189c3d lost in serious 056426c06e thought. His face was angled eb8f171ca8 toward Seo Haewon, but dd44a9f15d he wasn’t looking at 259547dd9e him. The unreadable expression on Chae 8d0b400f28 Jinheon’s face seemed cold.c8eae0e6e644ddd7

Haewon’s hand, fumbling along 3e3fee2eba the ground, stopped. The glass shards embedded faebadd9cd in his palm now cf4070eaaa stung faintly.

As the adrenaline surge subsided, 81d6263912 a hollow emptiness filled its db77e771af place. Still, Seo Haewon convinced himself c020bbf650 he didn’t miss the faint 20366fd213 warmth of that cautious touch.b2ac55fb00119a30

Haewon’s fingers lost strength c44a5ef41d and curled inward. A vague, overwhelming sadness welled c346e01047 up. There was no reason to cbbe56faf8 feel sad. He’d done everything he wanted. Han Taejeong was critically injured, 5fe0b2aa18 and Kim Junhwan was enraged 4d619d50b6 and lashing out. Yet, an inexplicable d30fd6dd95 sadness consumed him.b1a28d54b899ab6d

Chae Jinheon’s voice e4569a99b8 was deeply subdued. Haewon had expected him 0366082a99 to yell, but Chae 750564a262 Jinheon was quiet. Waiting for more, Haewon 36e4adcbde grew puzzled. The nag wasn’t nagging…56532940534c284a

There wasn’t much 5c5af415f4 else to say. Seo Haewon stayed a1c3d602b4 curled on the 0c0415ee70 ground, Chae Jinheon 24ee059eea knelt in front afb15b4709 of him, and 16a36c82d3 they remained like 7581aed1dd that for a a41aeb7602 long time.8327e866c90ca6c8

Seo Haewon was pretty. Handsome, beautiful, dazzling. How could someone add7c73ffd look like that… 26828d5595 Even Chae Jinheon a04a0958a9 thought so. Jinheon had never 5e622ab4ea felt inferior or 47ed86ce83 lacking compared to 03c18c06ce anyone. Until he saw Seo Haewon.41a95f7898b9b364

When Seo Haewon first c096aba37b sought a Guide… The 7ac2c53688 entire Center 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.

Plenty were swayed, 00ad94ffcb eager to be a7498c0bfa “that guy’s” Guide. Men, women. But Seo Haewon’s 397bbc7fd0 arrogance and attitude e80d762586 drove countless Guides 2f90a709f1 away.a8698ccc0655a341

Seo Haewon wrecked 63892973d8 the Guide office. There was even a male 4bd1322094 Guide with broken ribs and 5c5548daf2 a smashed nose from Haewon’s be72e0f470 blows.58aa08df1f890211

Having to say 6bdd4531cd this was annoying f528a087a6 in itself. The contract came 16df5c339c with a long d6179c22ef list of warnings 6e157f000f from the start. Knowing that, and 6934c9fc41 still complicating things.c42eb976039bcceb

“But I thought Guide Chae Jinheon would handle it with more responsibility. Congressman Chae emphasized how responsible 31b50b5f54 his son is.”5c9516e62f0f243c

Seungwon jabbed at Jinheon 172d87ef2d with a hint of 9e306422a6 sarcasm. It was no secret that 1f6ca5db99 Chae Jinheon had a bad 7d10905d4f relationship with his father, Congressman 9b844b78a3 Chae Hyunseong. To Jinheon, Lee Hoon-young f602255d8d was probably more of f774cf072e a parent. Back when Congressman 871215550f Chae was in 55f07e5d07 the military, his 8431c65b9c aide, Lee Hoon-young, 7549973062 was famous. People said the 0e85c0c4e0 aide raised the 17ecea390f kid because of b4ba308513 a bad boss. Everyone who knew, 1f574cc5ac knew Hoon-young doted 4b4b8d9c15 on and raised ea26b109a4 Jinheon.47231b6148e85d86

“Did I trust Congressman Chae too much? If I need to find 03a7edf497 a new alternative to Guide ec28ef8771 Chae Jinheon, I’d appreciate it f435bf75a0 if you’d tell me now.”122250129ac5864b

Seungwon’s words flowed smoothly. Stabbing at someone’s sore 1ea889e50f spot without batting an b030fe92d7 eye was, frankly, Seo 6469446603 Seungwon’s forte, not Seo df5ac5ec52 Haewon’s.05ac538624438306

Jinheon’s mood sank 3d86486042 to rock bottom. He didn’t think Seungwon was e2ffcd9ea6 unaware of that messy story. But hearing him bring f155556e04 it up directly was c557a8a33f another matter. Did Seo Haewon know too? Was that why he was 0b95ad5eca so sensitive?9bb1f58b993a482e

Seungwon drove the point home. You’re right. Your father’s shadow made me 7a39197c6d doubt you. Seungwon’s gaze flicked to the c274cd00dd clock. It was time to 96e737139f wrap this up.9461e5eea275a955

“Haewon’s car had a brake failure. The steering wheel was 11f36015ec damaged, and the wheel 856d7d3dde alignment was off. We’re treating it as intentional fa3466a81e sabotage, but for the group’s 6c9f18e047 image, we’ll settle it as a774198651 a simple accident.”84b0430c767acebe

Seungwon concluded in e87f967f24 a dry tone. It wasn’t a lie. The case was indeed 22879d4ec7 set to be handled 5909902285 that way. A faint, ambiguous smile bbd7d0b88f briefly crossed Seungwon’s expressionless add6788222 face.9f94b2ca27a7ca8f

Standing at the edge of 36bf79ee87 the living room, Jinheon scanned 3cf462a7a2 the house thoroughly. The layout was similar to 1590d23e51 Seo Haewon’s. A long hallway 5bb33674e5 stretched from the 29ddad9782 entrance. So, maybe…17137d7d9388b104
