The World’s Strongest Daughter chapter 17

I swallowed my saliva involuntarily, crushed by the heavy air that had fallen down.

Jung Nan-do is doubting my identity.

Since everyone has already been caught, lying in haste is like digging your own grave.

If so, should I reveal my identity or should I not… .

In my mind, I want to reveal everything and get help from Nan-do Jeong.

Although he didn’t like ‘me’ very much during his lifetime, he was a person who built friendships like that.

You won’t throw me away

But there are too many problems.

Convincing me of how I survived is also a problem, and above all, a new item in ‘Message’ made me hesitate.

To die if your identity is discovered, there is no such thing as coercion or coercion.

“… Yeonhee and Soyeon are like my family. If you don’t intend to reveal your identity, I can’t leave you alone.”

I started to get a little nervous as I watched Jeong Nan-do pressure me while scattering mana.

No matter how ‘toothless tiger’ he was, he was called the strongest among first-generation hunters.

I am the one who brought up that ‘swordsman’, so it must be difficult for me now to endure.

“… .”

That time when I desperately squeezed my head in search of a breakthrough.

Suddenly, the phrase written in ‘Message’ flashed through my mind.

[ Make Min So-yeon the strongest in the world. *If it fails, the world will be destroyed ]

└ Don’t let Min So-yeon know your identity. * ‘Death’ in case of failure

Both conditions were pointing to Min So-yeon.

ah… !

Because I couldn’t afford it, I missed a big clue until now.

‘Message’ speaks only to Min So-yeon.

That is, it does not apply to Jeong Nan-do.

I mean, there’s nothing wrong with revealing my identity.

Of course, it could be my guess.

“Old man.”

But you won’t know unless you try it.

“… They called me a coward.”

I slowly raised my mana and said proudly.

“Real cowards don’t fight like that.”

The mana was weak compared to the difficulty level, but it was enough to change the atmosphere.

“and… , What I do is not an assistant, but ‘external assistant’.”

Then Jeong Nan-do opened his eyes and began to shake.

“… Come on, you… !”

You would have noticed this by now.

I smirked at him and threw a wedge.

“If you are not married, do you know my heart?”

*

“… Hey, are you telling me to believe it now?”

Jeong Nan-do said with a smirk as if it was ridiculous.

“If you don’t believe me, will you show me some proof?”

“No, I don’t want to believe it. A thief like you survived… .”

“… Yeonhee confesses first… .”

“So, do you have anything better than Yeon-hee?”

I was speechless.

Fighting with facts cowardly

Nan-do Jeong wet his mouth with the newly brewed tea and spoke with the nuance that he was lucky.

“anyway… , I’m glad you came back alive. Now I can let go of an hour.”

Then he let out a heavy sigh and put down the teacup.

I’m glad I came back alive, did anything happen in between?

“… what do you mean?”

Jeong Nan-do looked at the teacup with a sad look and spoke slowly.

“… That’s right, you don’t know anything. Okay, where should I start talking? .”

3 years ago.

While carrying out a mission with a colleague, I was attacked by a monster that suddenly appeared and died.

I had my wife take a break because it was only a task to deal with a B-class gate, but an S-class monster appeared that day.

It was impossible for me, who was ranked A, and my colleague, who was in the midst of promotion, to stop it.

So after I died.

My wife, who rushed to the scene, took care of the monster… , and they say they found me.

“… Yeonhee, you mean?”

Jeong Nan-do just nodded his head quietly.

It is said that the wife who found me did not believe me at first.

He said there was no way, and while hugging the mangled corpse, he cried endlessly.

High-ranking officials, who heard the news late, came to the scene and comforted her… .

“… That friend is dead.”

It is said that the president of the Hunter Association died at the anger of his blind wife.

“… Yes?”

Yeonhee killed a person! what the hell is this… .

I was shocked to learn that my wife had committed the murder.

She was such a good woman that she had no other mother-in-law.

When I was young, I had a bit of a rush, but it was never enough to kill people.

“… Yeonhee is a person… , no, the president of the association apparently died of a chronic disease… .”

After I was resurrected, I was in the middle of searching for information, so I knew that the president of the association was dead at the time.

By the way… .

“Externally, it is. How do you tell the world that the ‘Swordsman’ killed the president of the association?”

In the end, it is said that the case was covered up with public opinion in mind.

After killing the president of the association, my wife suddenly disappeared with my body, and only after a long time passed the news of her retirement… .

huh? for a moment.

As I came to think of it, I couldn’t find any information about my grave even when I was in the middle of searching for information.

“Then, where is my grave?”

“I don’t even know, thanks to that, I couldn’t even do the grave… .”

Maybe it’s buried somewhere like a private property.

“Anyway, after Yeon-hee retired, we didn’t meet properly.”

Hearing Nan-do Jeong’s words, I started to get a rough outline.

How difficult it must have been for Min So-yeon, who lost her father in one day with his wife who was left alone.

Sadly, I can’t blame anyone.

It was my fault for not surviving and not returning to my family… .

That time when I was drenched in grieving sorrow and resented my ugliness.

Suddenly, a small question came to mind.

Why did Jeong Nan-do say that he was glad I came and that he would let go of an hour?

And why did Min So-yeon live like that?

I hurriedly raised my head and looked at Jeong Nan-do.

He was looking at me with sad eyes, as if he knew what I was going to say.

“… old man.”

Jeong Nan-do turned his head to avoid my gaze.

“… Did you hear about Soyeon?”

there is no way to know

He is the one who came after me saying my actions were suspicious, but I can never know what kind of environment Min So-yeon is living in.

Then, why did Jeong Nan-do leave a child who was nothing like a family?

What the hell is your wife doing, leaving her child like that?

Jeong Nan-do quietly raised the teacup and avoided my question.

That moment… , Anxiety began to rise in the corner of my chest.

“… Oh, my wife… , Jooyeon-hee, what are you doing right now? ?”

Jeong Nan-do emptied the car that had cooled down at once, and slowly opened his mouth with a determined face.

“… I fell asleep. then… .”

Sleeping, then Soyeon… !

“Gee, are you saying that you left Soyeon alone and disappeared!?”

No matter how heartbroken I am to die, is it reasonable to leave a child growing up?

I jumped up and the road became angry, so Jeong Nan-do hurriedly started to stop me.

“Anyway, what the hell is that little boy… !”

“Come on, take it easy!”

“Are you really looking now!! This girl… .”

At that moment, Jeong Nan-do grabbed me and shouted.

“Min Seongjae!!”

Sungjae Min.

It’s been a while since I heard ‘my’ name.

“I’m not done with my words yet! Calm down a bit… , let me hear it.”

Now, at the unfamiliar call, my hot head turned cold.

“… sorry.”

Jeong Nan-do brought a cigar and burned it to cool his head and talk.

However, as the musty scent of cigars brushed against the tip of her nose, Min So-yeon’s smoking problem began to come to mind again.

By the way, ha… . Hold on, hold on… .

Desperately holding back my anger, I waited for Jeong Nan-do’s words.

and… .

“… I’ve been hiding, but I’ve figured out where it is… .”

I was finally able to find out the shocking whereabouts of my wife.

“… Are you sick? Jooyeon-hee?”

Who is that Jooyeon-hee?

Jooyeon-hee, who was called the strongest in the world, is sick.

Who the hell could hurt Joo Hee-hee?

“Exactly… , my heart aches.”

ah… .

I let out a heavy sigh at Jeong Nando’s words.

Jooyeon-hee, who cut through any monsters at once, was also a woman with a soft heart.

I was ashamed that I didn’t know her speed and got angry.

According to Jeong Nan-do, Joo-hui is living alone in a small house in a mountainous area in Gangwon-do.

About a year ago, I found my whereabouts and sent people a few times… .

“… It’s not very good.”

It is said that he is indifferent to life and death to the point of not being able to get cooperation, so he has no health problems, and only eats one meal for several days.

All I have to do is sit and look out the window.

It is said that he lost the will to live as if he were waiting for death.

I don’t know how many more shocks I’ll have to finish.

Joo Yeon-hee, who lost her emotions, could not afford to take care of herself, and Min So-yeon was thrown away.

All because of my death.

However… , I was revived.

I, the husband of Joo Hee-hee and the father of Min So-yeon, are alive like this.

Even if Min So-yeon can’t reveal her identity, can’t she reveal her identity to Joo-yeon?

Then her condition will improve, and Soyeon will be able to receive her mother’s love!!

I quickly revealed the plan I had come up with to Jeong Nan-do.

OK… .

“… Not bad, but a little skeptical. You can’t reveal your identity to Soyeon right now. But what can I say to Soyeon?”

I was blocked by an unexpected obstacle.

Literally by Jeong Nan-do, I cannot reveal my identity to Min So-yeon.

I barely got close to Soyeon, but what would Soyeon think when she sees me hanging out with her mother?

If that’s the case, then it’s going to be a fucking drama.

At that time, when I was only taking a deep breath in my frustrated heart, Jeong Nan-do whispered to me.

“Don’t be too discouraged. Living like this, what can I do?”

“… But… .”

It is a half-resurrection that can neither do this nor that.

Just as I shook my head from the reality of not being able to do anything, Jeong Nan-do spoke to me again.

“… Hey, do you do any housework?”

Quarreung-

The sound of thunder outside the window opened my eyes.

When I turned my head slightly, the rain was pouring like a torrential downpour outside the window.

i like rain

When it rains, my husband doesn’t go out.

I slowly got up and walked over to the cabinet on one wall.

And he took out the only shiny ring from the gap in the dusty decoration.

A dark blue diamond surrounded by a thin ring.

I put it on the ring finger of my left hand with a careful hand.

When I gently opened my hand, a tender feeling arose as if I had become one with my husband.

While hugging her left hand tightly as if she were dealing with something precious, she pulled out a small glass bottle from the cabinet and headed towards the window.

“… look at this it’s rainy.”

Today, I started the day by showing my husband the window.
