Chapter 104. Entering the Valhalla Dungeon
Kim Sung-hee couldnât believe her eyes.
âW-With just the two of themâŠ!â
The sight of Kang Chul-In and Dorian combining forces to fight off the 500+ men of Alex Rothschild was much too shocking for her.
âI tried to fight against that manâŠ?â
Now realizing that she had severely and incredibly underestimated Kang Chul-Inâs strength, she couldnât lift her head.
âHah⊠how stupid and arrogant must I have seemed to him? I must have been crazy.â
Though she was known as the daughter to a major conglomerate in Korea and was born with a gold spoon in her mouth, she wasnât someone that couldnât think for herself.
Kang Chul-In called her from afar.
At the word âeyewitnessâ, Kim Sung-heeâs face stiffened.
Almost wetting her pants out of fear, Kim Sung-hee started to take slow steps backwards.
âP-PleaseâŠ! Can you spare me just this one time?â
Kim Sung-hee realized that in Pangaea, her status as the daughter of a big, powerful company was of no use whatsoever.
She knew that her life was in the hands of Kang Chul-In.
Kim Sung-hee froze in place, scared of what would come next.
âI like the fact that you arenât too stupid and dull. At least you donât want to die, huh?â
Kang Chul-in once again called out.
âYeah, you. I called you a fly because you keep buzzing around us like a mosquito or a fly would. If you donât like it, thenâŠâ
âHe called me a fly⊠But, Iâm still a girl, you know? How can he be so meanâŠâ
Although Kim Sung-heeâs pride was deflatedâŠ
âN-No, itâs alright. You might not know my name, right?â
She could still endure it. At least she could keep her precious life.
âKim Sung-hee, right?â
Hearing this, Kim Sung-hee tried her best to suppress her anger, and looked at Kang Chul-Inâs face, speechless.
âHow can someone be so frustrating and annoying?!â
Looking at Kang Chul-Inâs slight smile, Kim Sung-hee tried her best to calm herself down.
Kang Chul-In then continued with,
âHey, I need you to complete a task for me.â
Kang Chul-In wanted to use Kim Sung-hee.
He would try and use her to put Aleister into a trap.
âThis is a chance for you, fly.â
Kang Chul-In wanted to make a deal with her.
âThis task⊠this task is an opportunity?â
âI donât understand? How will a task you give me be an opportunity?â
As the words âopportunityâ and âchanceâ piqued her interest, Kim Sung-hee futhered inquired.
âIâll give you strength.â
âIt seems like you want to get stronger, no? Of course, it will be nigh impossible for you to become as powerful as me, or even this pushover over here.â
Kang Chul-In stared at Dorian and spoke.
âI already told you, Iâm not a pushoverâŠ!â
âWhatever you say, pushover.â
Kang Chul-In didnât care whether Dorian got upset or not.
âIâll make you two to three times stronger than you are now.â
âIf thatâs the case, it must be a very difficult âtaskâ.â
âOf course it is. This is a task where you need to put your life on the line. If you are able to complete it successfully, Iâll make you stronger. But if you failâŠâ
âYou would suffer a fate even worse than dying.â
Kim Sung-hee couldnât understand what kind of task required her to take a risk that was âworse than dyingâ.
Although she wanted to reject this offer right nowâŠ
â...He might kill me if I reject this proposal. Iâm an eyewitness, after all.â
âYes... of course I am.â
âThen donât do it.â
âBut if I reject itâŠâ
âI wonât kill you.â
âOf course you wonât⊠Huh?!â
Kim Sung-hee was startled.
âReally? You wonât kill me?â
Kim Sung-hee then realized how insignificant she was in the eyes of Kang Chul-In, and how she was just a small, passing existence.
âThen, can I hear the contents of the task first?â
âDonât ask me. My thoughts are that if you truly wanted to become powerful, you wouldnât care about the methods. So, Iâll ask you one last time. Will you do it?â
Kang Chul-In had a tendency to look at people who stayed true to their desires on a high pedestal, and Kim Sung-hee was someone who fit that criteria well.
â...Yes, I think I will.â
After washing their bloodied bodies in a nearby stream, Kang Chul-In and Dorian immediately headed into the underground passage that leads to the Valhalla dungeon.
âItâs been a whileâ.
Kang Chul-In reminisced of the past, remembering âthe old daysâ before he had reincarnated.
This sensation didnât last for too long.
Because suddenly, a message popped up in front of his eyes.
[Can you handle âtheirâ rage and hatred?]
