Episode 43 Jealousy (1)
Pong!
The cap of the potion flew away with a cool sound. Kwon Kwon-wool drank the sky-blue liquid contained in a glass bottle without hesitation.
“nice.”
A feeling of coolness spread throughout his body. The headache that had been in my head was gone.
Joo Ha-yeon held out another potion and asked anxiously.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes, I think I’ll buy some now.”
Gwonwool stood up from the floor and said. Thanks to the complete recovery of mental power, it was no longer difficult.
“What the hell happened inside?”
“It looks like you got sick after trying to catch a mud troll with a not-so-good head.”
He said it jokingly, but Joo Ha-yeon’s expression did not loosen at all. Rather, it became more chilly.
“Kwon Han-ul.”
“yep.”
“I don’t care if you hide anything from me. But please don’t do anything dangerous.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
I didn’t want to hurt Joo Ha-yeon’s feelings more, so I answered Kwon-wool coolly.
At that time, the dungeon gate was agitated and Kwon Ji-seok jumped out.
Kwon Ji-seok ran straight to Kwon-ul without looking elsewhere.
“hey! What the hell have you done!”
Even that was not enough, so he grabbed Kwon-wool’s shoulder and shook it wildly.
“I went into the dungeon and found all the mud trolls dead! How did you do it? Tell me quickly!”
Joo Ha-yeon was also surprised and looked back at Kwon-ul. Receiving the passionate gazes of the two, Kwon-ul said naturally.
“You’re not just asking me to give you such valuable information, right?”
Kwon Ji-seok’s body trembled. As Gwon-ul said, it was rude to ask about the strategy.
“Hey, are we guys? You’re from the same family! Can’t you tell me that much?”
“There are at least one or two secrets that even family members cannot tell.”
Those words made Kwon Ji-seok even more anxious. But Gwon-ul had no intention of telling him.
It was because he had already made the decision to boldly go out to hide the existence of his family.
“Hey, then a hint… … .”
Kwon Ji-seok’s request could not continue. The dungeon gate opened again, and this time Catalina Blaga and Ruin Aspadam came out.
“Little Dragon!”
As soon as I came out, Catalina Blaga came running with a smile on her face.
“How wonderful! How the hell did you find so many mud trolls?”
Kwon Kwon-ul made a confused expression. Because it was a completely different reaction than I expected.
“Lady Catalina Blaga. If I may be rude, I will win the bet if things go on like this.”
“Little Dragon’s skills are better, so it’s natural for him to win.”
Catalina Blaga’s reaction was that it was natural. Kwon-wool seriously contemplated whether the meaning was conveyed properly.
“White clay can be obtained again at any time. But a talent like Little Dragon can never be seen again. much more… … .”
Catalina Blaga looked at Ruin Aspadam and said.
“Not to mention a talent that can beat S-class abilities with A-class abilities.”
Ruin Aspadam’s expression became even more distorted.
“Lady Catalina, I… … .”
“Louin, wait a minute. The story with Little Dragon is not over yet.”
Catalina Blaga cut off Ruin Aspadam’s words with such a savagery.
Ruin Aspadam clenched his fists in silence.
“What did you play? Do you have any special tricks to get eaten by mud trolls?”
“It’s a secret.”
“You’re beating yourself up.”
Catalina Blaga put on a sad expression. Kwon Ji-seok, who was next to him, grabbed his chest tightly.
Kwon Ji-seok glared at Kwon Ji-seok as if telling him not to do useless things.
“Well, okay. I can guess even if you don’t tell me.”
guesswork?
It was a time when Gwon-wool was puzzled. Suddenly Catalina Blaga clapped her hands.
“Then let’s sort things out. The number of mud trolls killed by Little Dragon was more than double the number of mud trolls killed by Ruin!”
Anyone can see that it was a landslide victory for Kwon Wool.
But the bet is not over yet.
“But both sides haven’t caught the boss yet. So let’s continue the bet tomorrow. How are you?”
Kwon Kwon-wool was not particularly dissatisfied with what Catalina Blaga said.
What was agreed upon in the first place, so is there any reason to be dissatisfied?
However, there were too many insults from Ruin Aspadam to pass on quietly.
“I don’t care.”
Kwon Kwon-wool looked straight at Ruin Aspadam.
“I’m a bit worried that he’ll go through a needless hardship tomorrow.”
Ruin Aspadam gritted his teeth.
“punk. Don’t be cocky. Long and short, you have to deal with it to know.”
“I’m saying this because I don’t think it will be anything special.”
“what?”
Ruin Aspadam stepped forward in a fit of fuss. At that time, Catalina Blaga spoke in a cold voice.
“Louin, don’t do any more ugly things.”
“… … All right.”
“Little Dragon. I know what you want to say. But you already made a promise, right?”
Kwon Wol nodded as if agreeing.
“Then we will go back. We will meet again at 10:00 AM tomorrow. Oh, and… … .”
Kwon Gwon-ul looked at Catalina Blaga as if asking why.
At that moment, Catalina Blaga’s eyes lifted slightly. eyes were stained red.
By the time I tried to prepare, it was already too late.
Intense dizziness overtook Kwon-wool. The floor and ceiling began to spin round and round.
“How about having dinner together?”
Catalina Blaga’s words ran through my head. My reason was paralyzed and my whole body seemed to melt. It was like drowning in sweet honey.
This is the second time he has been exposed to the blood of Catalina Blaga.
I had already experienced it once, but it was still a terrifying dominance.
but.
＜The true family member ignores lower powers.＞
Kwon-wool’s spirit immediately returned to normal.
“I don’t like it.”
When Gwonwool refused, Catalina Blaga put on a blank expression for a moment.
But then he smiled quietly and said a little.
“As expected, I think my prediction was right.”
“Are you expecting?”
“it’s nothing. Anyway, since you say no, there’s nothing I can do about it.”
Catalina Blaga meekly turned around. He moved his step and waved his hand at Kwon-ul.
“Then I’ll see you later.”
later?
Kwon Kwon-ul recalled the question. But before he could ask, Catalina Blaga disappeared with Ruin Aspadame.
“Ahh… … .”
Kwon Ji-seok sighed in regret. Kwon-wool tried to scold him, but he held back.
It was because not only Kwon Ji-seok, but also other blood relatives and employees were staring at Catalina’s back.
“Whoa.”
On the other hand, Gwon-ul breathed a sigh of relief. Because it was only after she was gone that I was able to put my mind at ease.
Indeed, Catalina Blaga is a mogul among moguls. Regardless of whether or not he was a member of the clan, the feeling of fatigue was overwhelming just by facing each other.
“Hayeon, did you find a place to sleep?”
“I reserved the hotel’s royal suite.”
“You are thorough, too. Then let’s go back.”
Kwon-wool got up from his seat and brushed his butt. Joo Ha-yeon also started to pack her things. Kwon Ji-seok, who was watching the two of them, asked questioningly.
“Hey, you’re not saying you’re going to leave me alone and rest by yourself, right?”
“Isn’t that the person in charge of the dungeon? You never know what will happen, so you have to wait.”
“Well, that’s true, but anyway, since you’re clearing the dungeon too… … .”
“Then I’m leaving.”
Kwon-wool lightly ignored Kwon Ji-seok’s words and moved on.
Then, I got into the car that had been waiting for me.
As soon as I sat in the seat, I felt tired. The exhaustion was no joke because he overused his subordinates and met Catalina Blaga, who was not scheduled.
‘What is Catalina Blaga’s intention?’
He claims it was a coincidence, but it really can’t be.
It was clear that he had come after investigating Kwon Wool.
‘Are you trying to take me?’
However, his attitude was lukewarm. Not befitting the nickname of a human collector.
‘What’s more suspicious is his attitude toward Ruin Aspadam.’
It was not enough to keep comparing himself with Ruin Aspadam, so he was implicitly undermining Ruin Aspadam’s pride.
‘What is it?’
At that time, there was a growl in the stomach. Gwon-ul looked out the window and made a promise.
‘First of all, let’s fill up and take a rest.’
But that promise never came true.
It was because the moment I entered the hotel restaurant for a meal, I met another not-so-welcome face.
“Oh, see you again here.”
Catalina Blaga was smiling and waving.
* * *
“… … .”
Kwon Kwon-ul wasn’t even angry at the rest because he was so dumbfounded.
In comparison, Catalina Blaga still beckoned with a bright face.
“I rented the entire restaurant for the day because I wanted to spend time alone with Little Dragon.”
Catalina Blaga pointed to the chair across from her, as if telling her to take a seat.
Kwon Kwon-ul stood still for a while, then sat down on the chair.
“Oh, this time you obediently listened to my request.”
“I think I just want to go out.”
Gwon-wool glared at her and continued talking.
“I’m curious as to why you’re sticking to me so persistently.”
“Why would a woman follow a man? Of course it’s because you’re interested, isn’t it?”
“under.”
Kwon Wol laughed as if it was absurd.
The interest of Catalina Blaga, who is famous as a human collector. I would rather have screamed at him to curse.
“I am not interested in you at all.”
Kwon-wool cut it off. Then, the eyes of Ruin Aspadam burst out with lifeblood.
“is it so?”
“Yes, so stop wasting your time. If you continue to act like this, it will not do you any good for the Blaga family.”
At that warning, Ruin Aspadam, who was standing behind Catalina Blaga, became angry.
But before he could move, Catalina Blaga raised a hand to stop him.
“They say men and women meet because they like each other. Will there be any problems with the family?”
“That’s what we do when we’re both normal men and women. And I should have just told you that I’m not interested in you.”
“If you say it so firmly twice, it hurts me no matter how much.”
Catalina Blaga pinches her eyes with a handkerchief.
Even though he knew it was acting, Kwon-ul felt a stir in his heart.
But it was only for a short time.
“The bond between a man and a woman can be built slowly. We talk to each other, and we eat together. Or you can spend the night together.”
I felt a strange feeling in my hand on the table.
Before I knew it, Catalina Blaga was gently scratching the back of Kwon Wool’s hand with her finger.
Kwon-wool removed his hand and spoke in a sharp tone.
“You tell me something.”
“How about holding hands with me?”
Gwon-ul looked at her, wondering what kind of trick this was. Catalina Blaga said with a smile.
“I will be your sponsor so that you can expand your position within the Heukcheon family.”
