âKeum⌠I wonder what someone like that will say.â
The reactions to the fact that Kang Chul-In was giving a lecture were explosive. Kang Chul-In was someone that you might meet once in a lifetime; he was rarer than a celebrity. Also, he was a hero who had protected South Korea from scary monsters. Listening to a lecture from such a man? This was a huge honor for the little seedlings and for the parents.
However, the problem was that Kang Chul-In didnât have anything to say to these nose-snifflers.
How am I supposed to fill 40 minutes up?
What was he supposed to talk about?
How to use servants? Or how to cleanly cut the neck off your opponent? How to make Rothschild suffer?
Dammit?
Anything Kang Chul-In was good at wouldnât be good for the children.
âArshellyâs father?â
Just then, Han Ye-Sun spoke to Kang Chul-In with slit eyes.
âAre you starting?â
â...â
âLook, the children are waiting.â
â...â
âStay strong, Arshellyâs father.â
They said that if a woman had a grudge, she could even make it snow in June. That was the Han Ye-Sun of now.
Sssss!
Han Ye-Sunâs glare on Kang Chul-In was so sharp that it was like the blade of a knife.
This is revenge!
Kang Chul-Inâs face filled with surprise.
He had many enemies over his two lives, but this was the first time he was paying the price for stepping on someoneâs goodwill (or love as they said). In the first place, he had never actually paid the price. But it was different this time. He was about to get hit without even being able to fight back. If they were fighting with swords he wouldâve stopped her, but he didnât know what to do since she was getting him like this.
His work of the past. This was the price he had to pay for making a girl cry.
âWhew.â
Kang Chul-In slowly breathed in and out.
Sparkle, sparkle...â
About 30 elementary-schoolers including Arshelly were looking at him with stars in their eyes.
Dad! Youâre so cool!
Arshelly looked like a princess gazing up at her knight in shining armor, and Park Sun-Jaâs eyes werenât too far off from that either.
Son! Youâre so impressive!
No, they were shining even more. This situation brought her happiness that she wouldnât even have dreamed of.
I canât escape this.
Kang Chul-In folded his thoughts of trying to break through the window again to run away. Then, he began to write something on the board. It read the following:
Dreams.
It was a bright topic, which was unlike him.
âCan everyone see this?â
Kang Chul-In pointed at the sentence that was his way of getting out of this.
âYeah!â
The students responded.
âThen, Iâll begin now.â
Kang Chul-In continued with confidence.
Yeah, this kind of stuff was easy as cake. A man should be confident!
...
âAnd thatâs it for the lecture.â
The lecture was a memorable one that both adults and children were able to relate to. It was an excellent lecture.
Clap clap clap!
Applause came from everywhere.
âWow~! Arshellyâs dad is so cool!â
âIâm a fan, Uncle!â
âKya~!â
âMy dad isnât cool⌠humph!â
The children were ecstatic. Hearing Kang Chul-In speak about âthe other worldâ was interesting in itself, but he added the topic of âdreamsâ on top of that and made it seem special, so of course their reactions would be like this.
âWow⌠a successful man is definitely different.â
âS-So cool! Mr. Kang Chul-In!â
âKe, so that was why life was hard. Haaa⌠I donât even remember what my dreams were when I was youngerâŚâ
âIt was a good healing talk in this cold hard-to-live worldâŚâ
The reactions of the parents matched the childrenâs.
âDad is the best!â
âYouâre so impressive, son!â
âHusband is so cool~!â
âI love you, Honey~!â
âY-your Majesty... That was such an amazing lecture!â
His family. Yes, his family was smiling brightly.
Keuk⌠Iâm experiencing all kinds of things.
Kang Chul-In laughed inwardly.
He wondered if this was what a family was about.
Was this true happiness?
He didnât know what he had done all his life to miss these things.
âWhat do you do when monsters from that world try to eat you? Do youâŚâ
It was time to answer questions.
âI hit their necks.â
âYou hit their⌠what?â
The innocent young boy was shocked at Kang Chul-Inâs response.
âS-So⌠I was sayingâŚâ
âThis is what influences life the most whether its humans or monsters.â
Kang Chul-In tapped his head.
âSo here, if you hit the necks there will be an excessive amount of blood that is spilled and the bodily movements will stop.â
â...â
âOf course, there are some situations where that doesnât work. In those cases, you can cut the limbs off or beat them up. You can cut them up into small pieces andâŚâ
Unfortunately, Kang Chul-In couldnât finish his answer.
âHuwangg~! I-Itâs too gruesome!â
It was because the young boy who had been listening to his answer paled and burst out in tears.
â...â
The nice atmosphere quickly became awkward because Kang Chul-Inâs answers to the continued questions were all inappropriate.
For example:
Q: Are there fairies in that world?
A: Yes.
Q: What species are the fairies?
A: Theyâre a poor species that get caught as slaves when people are bored.
Q: What?
A: Theyâre nice to look at so theyâre usually used for trafficking.
Q: ...
Or,
Q: I want to explore that world by becoming a supernatural!
A: Dream on.
Q: âŚ
Or like this,
Q: I want to go out with ArshâŚ
A: Shut up.
Q: T-Thatâs not faâŚ
A: I wouldnât give you my daughter even over my dead body.
Q: Aaaaaang~!
â...â
Thanks to that, cold air swirled inside of the classroom. No one was able to stop Kang Chul-In from talking. Why? They thought that if they talked back to the strongest and evilest villain on Earth, they might die.
âMm⌠weâll stop the questions and answers. Weâll take 10 minutes to speak about class now~.â
Han Ye-Sun quickly stepped up, and the situation ended.
âYouâve done well, Arshellyâs father.â
While everyone in the class was busy talking to each other, Han Ye-Sun approached him and whispered in a low voice that only he could hear.
âIt was a very memorable lecture, very. Genuineness⌠yes, genuineness. They say a genuine heart moves people, hm?â
Her words were sharp.
It was like she was mocking Kang Chul-Inâs lecture for not being genuine.
âWell, fine.â
â...â
âOppa, youâŚâ
Kang Chul-Inâs face instantly crumpled.
Oppa.
He never imagined he would hear that word from Han Ye-Sunâs mouth againâŚ
âSince youâre a man with three wives...â
â...â
âThatâs how good your speaking skills are now, hm?â
â...â
âUnlike before.â
It was a sly sarcastic statement that dug into Kang Chul-Inâs weak point.
âAnyways, Iâm glad you seem happy now.â
â...â
âMeet me after this.â
Han Ye-Sun requested for a meeting with him.
âIs it a parent-teacher conference?â
Kang Chul-In asked.
It was an important question. The answer would be determined by whether it was official business or not.
âNo.â
However, Han Ye-Sunâs motives were completely personal.
âI refuse.â
Kang Chul-In shook his head.
Never.
There was no way. He wasnât weak or soft enough to be shaken by his first love. There was anything left of their relationship anymore. Also, wasnât Kang Chul-In the head of a family now?
âThen, Iâll be off now.â
Kang Chul-In turned around.
âIâll tell you something interesting. So make some time.â
âI donât need it.â
âYouâll be interested.â
âI wonât.â
âI donât think so⌠youâll definitely be interestedâŚâ
However, Han Ye-Sun was confident.
âArenât you the Chul-In oppa that I know? The oppa that I know wonât stay still if someone bothers his daughterâŚ?â
âWhat?â
Kang Chul-In whipped around. It was something he had done subconsciously. Why? Because he was a fool for his daughter!
Shit!
It was too late when he realized he was baited.
âI have a parent-teacher conference, so Iâll meet you in the all-purpose room on the 5th floor when Iâm done. Thatâs an empty classroom that even the staff doesnât use often.â
â...â
âThen Iâll be waiting.â
Han Ye-Sun slightly pushed Kang Chul-In away and took her podium back.
âEveryone, you listened to Arshellyâs fatherâs speech well, right?â
âYeah!â
âAlright, it must have been hard to focus on Uncleâs talk, so Iâm glad you listened well.â
It was a mysterious sentence filled with beef.
âOkay, thatâs the end of todayâs class.â
And like that, Kang Chul-In finished the parent observation class.
***
Crunch, crunch!
Lee Gong-Myung ripped Rothschildâs skin and bones apart and drank his blood with a wide open mouth.
âAt the very leastâŚâ
He was muttering to himself in a mad voice.
âYou⌠will be inside of me⌠AlexâŚâ
It was an act that could be perceived in a religious way.
On Earth, the Fore people of Papua New Guinea believed that if you ate the dead body of a tribe member, you would be with them forever . Lee Gong-Myung was thinking the same thing, eating his loverâs, no, one-sided loveâs dead body. He was trying to become one with Rothschild by eating him.
Drip.
Tears didnât stop pouring down Lee Gong-Myungâs eyes.
âIâll⌠take revenge⌠you can⌠watch... Hm? Since you and I are one now⌠youâll be able to see itâŚâ
It was a scary madness. It was closer to obsession than love. After all, Lee Gong-Myung was someone who spent years at Rothschildâs side with his unspeakable feelings.
He had left him without saying goodbye, so maybe the madness could be expected.
âJust you wait, Kang Chul-InâŚâ
Lee Gong-Myung left Rothschildâs remains behind and walked away. He was planning on forcing Kang Chul-In to ruin. He needed an army, as well as a force that could stand against the Valhalla Kingdom.
Surprisingly, Lee Gong-Myung wasnât headed towards the Cyamodus territory in the north.
âAs of nowâŚâ
A mysterious statement escaped Lee Gong-Myungâs mouth.
âYouâre perfect, Attil RamanujanâŚâ
Overlord Attil Ramanujan. He was the only person who could fight against Overlord Ao Xinâs army.
Also, he was something who had been in charge of the Baldur Allianceâs numbers in the past that only Kang Chul-In and Alfred knew of.
This meant that Attil Ramnujan was specialized in a war of numbersâŚ
***
Ongok Elementary School, in the all-purpose room on the 5th floor.
â...â
â...â
There was silence between the two who had met each other for the first time in a long time.
Neither of them opened their mouths easily.
Bad bastardâŚ
How long is she going to be hung up on the past?
They just looked at each other.
âGet to the point.â
Eventually, Kang Chul-In spoke up first.
âWhoâs bothering my daughter?â
âLater.â
Han Ye-Sun shook her head.
âI canât lose a fish I caught like that
â...â
âYouâll just swim away after biting the bait.â
âT-Thatâs...â
That was true.
There was a time he had been a fresh teenager in the past, but it wasnât like he wasnât a lunatic back then either.
âAnyways... Congratulations on your marriage.â
âThanks.â
âYouâre really amazing.â
â...?â
âYou have three wives.â
âThatâs...â
âItâs interesting. I didnât know my first love was into polygamy.â
It was an attack that Kang Chul-In couldnât refute.
âSo what?â
But Kang Chul-In wasnât normal.
âW-What?â
âIâm a Lord, no, the king of a country.â
â...â
âWhatâs so wrong about a king marrying for convenience for his country?â
He hadnât wanted to have multiple wives in the first place, so Kang Chul-In felt wronged.
âIâŚâ
Just when Kang Chul-In was about to continue, Han Ye-Sun shot forward like a bolt and ran into his arms.
âYou bastard!â
