Episode 204
The journey to find Yoo Ha-on’s past came to an end.
In the end, just like in the original story, Ha-on Yoo found information about her parents, which once again became an opportunity to make a firm decision.
‘You don’t have to worry.’
As in the conflict with the Cheongga, they have already grown enough to do their part.
Any more useless meddling was more likely to become poison.
‘… If so, is it the Seo Ji-an side of the next one?’
Seo Ji-an faces a decisive battle with her father, Empress Seo, over everything in Daejin Industry.
The one thing to pay attention to right now was that it looked that way.
After checking her condition and waiting for Seo Ji-an at the academy for several days, she finally got a call.
[The time has been set. I would like to meet and share more details.]
“Okay.”
So I met at Seo Ji-an’s residence.
Perhaps it must have been that he had been busy lately, and Seo Ji-an’s expression showed a tiredness that could not be hidden.
“I’m going to move to catch him soon.”
“Are you all ready?”
“… yes. It’s not much different from what I did last time. All you have to do is to downgrade your position with the information you have prepared and then bring it down.”
Of course, the process will not be easy. Because Empress Dowager Seo had her own firm power and was a strategist who maintained it for a long time.
“… Still, there won’t be any The preparation here is perfect. There is very little way for that man to respond.”
Seo Ji-an’s confidence was firm.
If Seo Ji-an, who is known for being thorough, had that much confidence, it was clear that Empress Seo was caught in a trap from which she could not escape.
‘I’m sure it should be fine.’
Daejin Industrial’s strength is precious. It would be of great help if you could just get it in its entirety.
However, as it did not exist in the original, I could not predict the outcome too hastily.
‘Originally, Seo Ji-an would have lost everything by losing the competition right away.’
But now the situation is completely different.
From here, you have to hit it yourself.
“Perhaps that man would have noticed by now that my brother and I were working together to target him.”
So, action must be swift.
“Tomorrow, I will destroy everything in that man.”
At Seo Ji-an’s determined determination, I nodded softly.
And finally, the day of decisive action came.

“… Are you mentally ready?”
Seo Ji-an’s eldest brother, whom I met in person, was a very tall and handsome man.
Also, the atmosphere was so different that you could tell that he had deep intelligence just by looking at his eyes.
However, it wasn’t just those things that really surprised me.
‘… Was it this much?’
[Seo Do-yoon]
▶Level 54
Seo Ji-an’s older brother, Seo Do-yoon, was not just a businessman.
In fact, he has already reached the top rank as an exorcist.
Even if I trained, I thought that I would only be able to protect my body, so I was frankly surprised.
“The information has already been leaked. You must be under pressure from the superiors by now.”
“That’s good. then don’t go There is no need to delay the moment you have been waiting for.”
The situation was perfect.
In fact, Empress Dowager Seo blocked all corners of escape, and all the power was gathered to prevent him from even thinking of using force.
However, for that reason, I left a word of caution.
Because the moment when victory was on the brink of victory was the most dangerous moment.
‘Besides, considering the cases so far… … .’
Empress Dowager Seo is also a person who needs to be very careful.
Jo Gye-hak, one of the people who immediately came to mind, was also a person who did not have much importance in the original work.
Empress Dowager Seo might also be holding some strange secret.
“Are you Han Kang-yoon? I heard a lot about it.”
On the way to the headquarters of Daejin Industrial, where Empress Dowager Seo was, Seo Do-yoon spoke to me without showing any signs of nervousness.
In an attitude as if subtly measuring the value, I gently lowered my head and gave an indifferent greeting.
“You are about to graduate. If you’re interested, consider being mine. I will give you the best treatment.”
“… brother. Didn’t I tell you not to be careless?”
“I just threw in a word to relax.”
At Seo Ji-an’s sharp attitude, Seo Do-yoon shook her head and gently retreated.
After about ten minutes passed, we finally arrived at Daejin Industrial’s headquarters.
‘… It’s big.’
I visited the Yellow River Product Branch not too long ago, but the headquarters of Daejin Industries was so huge that it could not even be compared with him.
As we headed to the entrance with a group of about 10 people, the company’s security guards stopped us as if it was natural.
“… Wouldn’t it be difficult to understand the situation? It’s all over already, so everyone get out of the way.”
At the words of Seo Ji-an, one of Daejin Industrial’s successors, the security guards exchanged glances with each other in bewilderment.
Soon, what they chose was obedience.
“Today we have not seen or heard anything here.”
“It’s nice to talk quickly.”
Seeing their reaction, it was really clear who had the victory in this fight.
Feeling a little relieved in my heart, I followed Seo Ji-an and Seo Do-yun to the upper floors of the headquarters.
“The man did not learn magic directly. But since I have the ability to escape, I will arrest you right now and hand you over to the police.”
Seo Ji-an and Seo Do-yoon prepared all the evidence of the economic evils and corruption that Empress Seo had committed in the past.
The ultimate goal of the two was to take Daejin Industry from him and make him rot in prison.
‘When you hear about it, it looks like it’s actually all over… … .’
But I felt a sense of insecurity.
Although I have never met him in person, I feel a strange sense of incongruity with Empress Seo.
With such a mind in mind, we finally reached the top floor of Daejin Industry, where Empress Dowager Seo is located.
rattle.
profit.
“Long time no see. father.”
Seo Do-yoon, who opened the door without knocking, opened the topic with an indifferent attitude.
There was no one in the conference hall.
Only Empress Dowager Seo was left, with her back turned and looking outside through a huge window.
“Why don’t you give me a little reaction? Perhaps this will be our last meeting.”
At the sarcastic words of Seo Do-yoon, Empress Dowager Seo slowly turned around.
Her hair is whitish in some places and her face is getting wrinkled little by little.
These were factors that could give us a glimpse of his age and the hardships of his life up to now.
Empress Dowager Seo looked at Seo Do-yoon and Seo Ji-an and opened her mouth softly.
“Is this the answer? You’re just doing stupid things to the end.”
“… you’re done I can’t get out this time.”
“It’s over. It’s something I’ve been thinking about over and over.”
Empress Dowager, who gently shook her head, continued speaking again.
“Honestly, I had no interest in competing for succession.”
“… That’s right. You are a human being who knows only you at any time.”
“You only know yourself. Certainly not.”
Empress Dowager Seo scans everyone in the hall with an indifferent face, as if she were just looking at someone who had no face to face.
“So, can you bring me an end?”
“… If you don’t understand, I’ll say it again. You are already done.”
At the same time as Seo Ji-an finished her speech, the sound of strong footsteps echoed from the stairway passage.
Tung!
Tung!
Whoops!
Tickle!
“Empress Empress Dowager Seo, the representative of Daejin Industries, I will arrest you in accordance with Article 3, Section 7 of the Special Economic Law and many other provisions.”
The troops, who had already agreed with Seo Jian and his party in advance, moved toward Empress Seo according to their plan.
Looking at them like that, Empress Dowager Seo grinned.
“Even if this is the case, I don’t know. What do I really want?”
Even when there was no more back, Empress Dowager Seo did not show any signs of nervousness.
He just gently raised his hand full of traces of time.
“What… … .”
It was a moment.
A gust of wind blew inside the apparently quiet conference hall, and it wrapped around the police and threw them out of the hall.
Nettle juice!
Whoops!
“Great!”
“Kuh-huh!”
In an unexpected situation, everyone’s movements were hardened. It was the same for Seo Do-yoon and Seo Ji-an, who were confident.
“why? You could use magic… … .”
“No, look closely. That’s not human magic!”
As Seo Do-yoon said, it was something strange. Having quickly assessed the information of Empress Dowager Seo, I was able to realize the true nature of the sense of incongruity.

‘It wasn’t human… … ?’
It’s quite disconcerting.
No, I hadn’t even thought of that possibility at all.
Yes, he was Seo Ji-an’s parents, and at the same time, he was a businessman who lived in human society for a long time.
Seeing everyone’s eyes in shock, Empress Dowager Seo added a soft word.
“I am tired now. If you can, give me an end.”
It was a word with many meanings. But whatever it was, it was clear that it wasn’t good news for us.
“I can’t believe it, the representative of that Daejin industry was a ghost hiding in human society.”
“Maybe he swallowed him and took his body.”
“Representative Seo. Can we come?”
Fortunately, we were not the only exorcists present here.
In any case, Empress Seo may have hired someone to make the final move like the previous Hecktail Gun, so Do-yoon Seo had recruited skilled exorcists in advance.
Seo Do-yoon nodded softly, and the three exorcists he had hired blocked the front of Empress Seo.
‘Two first-class, one second-class.’
It was almost the best of those I could personally hire.
However, even such people had no choice but to vomit astonishment in front of Empress Dowager Seo’s power.
“Heh heh.”
“What the hell is this… … !”
Empress Dowager Seo waved her hand once, and the rain and wind blew and took away the exorcists’ sight. And a ball of fire that flew right away broke their spell.
Whoops!
“Cuckoo!”
“Aww!”
Empress Dowager Seo was strong. Not only was the amount of power simply high, but it seemed to have a lot of experience in combat itself.
Of the exorcists who were attacked, the other two, except for the 2nd grade, maintained their posture, but seeing Empress Seo’s power, they did not dare to attack, and only looked at Seo Do-yoon.
Instinctively, he realized that they were no match for anything he could do.
“… I’m in trouble. Go away first.”
Seo Do-yoon glanced at Seo Ji-an and tried to get out of this place, seeing the opportunity.
Well, as long as Empress Dowager Seo’s potential was revealed, there was no need to risk her life here to fight.
After all, he can no longer have enemies in human society, and he will be pursued by the Exorcism Headquarters.
However, Empress Dowager Seo blocked all directions with a barrier of fire made by moving her softly hands.
It was a resolute expression of our intention not to let us out from this place.
