68.
Ga-jun took off his mask and put on his original clothes.
“Hey, hop in!”
Ga-jun mounted a well-maintained, cool black bike that looked like a sleek leopard.
“Do you know how to drive a bike?”
“It’s an occasional hobby.”
Ga-jun smiled and put the helmet on Hyeon-woo’s head. But he didn’t need to use it.
“Why don’t you use it?”
“What do S-class awakeners need a helmet for? Even if I hit a car, my bike will be more damaged than me.”
It wasn’t wrong. However, if you put it that way, Hyeon-woo was beyond the level of an S-class awakened person, so he didn’t need a helmet. Ga-jun stopped him from taking it off again.
“You use it.”
“Why?”
Looking closely, Ga-jun scratched his cheek with his hand.
“Because it’s safer?”
He didn’t know what to say. He had been beaten before, so he should know his skills. Hyeon-woo looked at him in amazement, but Ga-jun did not back down on what he had said. He rode his bike like that and returned to the Seon-Hyeon Guild.
A police car stopped in the middle because of the sudden appearance of the villain, but no one caught Ga-jun. It was possible because his face was known.
“Aren’t you suspicious?”
At that, Ga-jun replied with a vicious grin.
“Ha. A crazy guild leader attacking a government official.”
Here, here, this madman.
But thanks to him, he came back comfortably. Behind the Seon-Hyeon Guild Building, Ga-jun, who parked his bike in an inconspicuous place, asked Hyeon-woo.
“How did you leave the building undetected?”
Seeing what Ji Seon-woo usually does, it must have been difficult for him to get out in a normal way. Hyeon-woo laughed at Ga-jun’s words and put one leg on the wall. Then, in an instant, he started climbing up the wall that protruded little by little.
Ga-jun’s mouth widened as he watched it. It was a feat that he could do if he decided to do it, so it was only natural that Hyeon-woo could do it too. Even though he knew that, his heart skipped a beat at the sight of him looking somehow in danger. And then, Seon-woo showed up.
“What brings you here?”
Apparently, a security guard who was patrolling nearby found Ga-jun and informed him. Normally, he wouldn’t have bothered to see him. He didn’t know why it comes out at a time like this.
Hyeon-woo was still climbing the wall, and right in front of him stood Seon-woo, his younger brother who cherished such a Hyung. What kind of situation was this?! Ga-jun replied, lowering his gaze to keep going up.
“I was just walking around.”
“Why is that our guild building?”
“I just happened to pass nearby.”
Was he all up? Or would he take more time? Since he was a stranger, it didn’t matter whether Hyeon-woo got caught or not, but he was strangely concerned.
“Is that so?”
Seon-woo frowned and turned around. And as soon as he turned around, Ga-jun, who quickly checked his stomach, let out a sigh of relief. It was because Hyeon-woo, who was attached to the wall, could not be seen. He seemed to have made it safely inside.
After confirming that, Ga-jun started the bike again.
“You’re back?”
Two-eyed, who was sleeping comfortably on the bed, asked.
“Unn.”
Hyeon-woo wiggled his hand and answered. He felt better now that he got to swing his fists for the first time in a while.
“Was it fun?”
Being accustomed to living here, Two-eyed was adapting quickly to how to speak.
“I guess?”
After changing his clothes, Hyeon-woo yawned a little, pushed his eyes away and lay down on the bed. He sneakily turned on the TV and saw a discussion about the upcoming election for the president of the association in the United States. Which Awakened people would remain, and which Awakened people would go. Who would be chosen? How would it affect Korea? Some experts debated vigorously.
He tried other channels just in case, but there was no urgent news anywhere. There were no broadcasts announcing that a villain had come and beaten a government official.
‘Don’t you have any intention of letting me know?’
Then how many more times could he have beaten him? Hyeon-woo closed his eyes with a terrifying thought.
Even after that, Ga-jun called Hyeon-woo several more times. The calling method was nothing special. The second time, he summoned Hyeon-woo by emitting power little by little from the outside, and from then on he called out with the pager he handed over.
Hyeon-woo, who felt sorry for his younger brother who worked overtime every time, quietly went out as he was called out and functioned as the villain. In the meantime, he also encountered other Awakened, whoever they were.
One was an S-class Awakened, and the other was a fan of that S-class Awakened. It wasn’t difficult to evade. A problem arose around the fifth time.
“How would you like to do this?”
Do-jin appeared as the one to stop them!
‘Why is Hyung here?’
Hyeon-woo got embarrassed for the first time and dropped the government official whom he was holding by the collar.
“It’s fine.”
Ga-jun, who was watching from the side, said. The mask was perfect. As long as he was wearing this, there was no way his face would be seen.
[Mask of the Great Sword (Elite)]
A mask worn by a great swordsman in the past. The wearer’s face can’t be recognized by any means.
When Do-jin stretched out his hand, the shadows began to roll over and pull the government people. It seemed that they were going to fight after clearing the hostages first. To prevent that, Hyeon-woo grabbed the closest government official.
The shadow was used to attack a few times, but it seemed that the human body would separate if it was pulled any further. Giving up was pretty quick.
“Are you taking hostages?”
Hyeon-woo nodded his head. A flash of annoyance appeared on Do-jin’s face. It didn’t seem like the place he came out of. After all, the only thing the government did was harass the Seon-Hyeon Guild. Come to think of it, he hadn’t seen Do-jin’s face lately either.
Do-jin responded lukewarmly throughout, and thanks to that, Hyeon-woo and Ga-jun, who had noticed, were able to get out safely.
“Get them, get them!”
A government official who was still awake saw the two running away and screamed but Do-jin still moved slowly.
“Why didn’t you go after them!”
When did Do-jin see through him? Hyeon-woo noticed and became even more furious. However, Do-jin just turned his gaze away and answered naturally.
“Can I really go? Then there is no one to protect you?”
At that, people calmed down. Leaving them behind, Ga-jun picked up Hyeon-woo and flew away.
‘Didn’t we get caught?’
Hyeon-woo belatedly wiped his chest in relief. However, he looked back unintentionally and saw Do-jin’s eyes strange.
‘No way.’
His heart sank as if he had noticed.
“Wow, should we stop doing this soon? Are they mobilizing S-class awakened now?”
After coming to a safe place, Ga-jun, who had been grumbling, punched Hyeon-woo, who was still looking blank.
“What’s the matter?”
“No, it’s nothing.”
He couldn’t say that he was caught, so he just ignored it and moved on. Ga-jun didn’t ask anymore. And a few days after deciding to stop being the villain, the government and the Hunter Administration reacted.
***
The government persistently put pressure on the Seon-Hyeon Guild but could not hear the answer they wanted.
“In the end, do I have to send Ji Seon-woo along too?”
The director put his hand on his forehead as if he was in trouble. Ryu Young-jin, who had become his faithful limbs, was hospitalized, and others were also not doing well. This was because the villains attacked several more times.
“Those fucking villains!”
In the world, it was said that Ouroboros was to blame. It was because they posted an advertisement in the newspaper again, saying they would accept new people. He questioned the newspaper, but they said they didn’t know about it. He belatedly retrieved the newspaper, but it was already too late.
Here was what was in the newspaper: It was that he would accept those who matched his ideals after a light test. At that time, the villain started rampaging. It was such a situation, so he wondered if it was because of them, but the director didn’t believe it that way.
“Damn it.”
It must have been something that happened in the Guild, but there was no evidence. If they were driven without evidence, they could face a headwind, so they couldn’t even step out willingly. While hesitating like that, others were also affected, and the only one left was the management department to which Choi Moo-hyuk belonged.
“Your department is all Awakened. Isn’t that why even a villain can’t touch it?”
Someone said so, but the director thought otherwise. Choi Moo-hyuk must have had his other thoughts. Otherwise, he wouldn’t act like that. His narrow-mindedness made me think of nonsensical ideas.
“They’re trying to drive me out.”
His teeth cluttered. The director had no intention of stepping down from this position.
‘It’s only going to go over this time.’
Next time, he would never let it go so easily. The director thought so and answered Seon-Hyeon Guild.
He said that it didn’t matter if Ji Seon-woo accompanied Ji Hyeon-woo to the United States.
“Didn’t it last longer than you thought?”
Ga-jun laughed. He thought that Kang, who bet the rain on the Seon-Hyeon Guild, would last longer, but he collapsed after being attacked by villains several times.
Thanks to this, Ji Seon-woo, Ji Hyeon-woo, Han Do-jin and Do Ga-jun went to the United States this time. It seemed that he was trying to hold on to Han Do-jin as well, but that too was unsuccessful. In the end, he couldn’t do anything he wanted, and he only lived with hatred for the Awakened.
“Do they have no heads?”
He felt that way sometimes. The idea that people do not have the brain to think normally because they are busy fighting politics.
“Well, it was fun anyway.”
It was a lot of fun even though it was with a person who thought he was going to die. He was even not sure if it was because he messed with the government officials, or if it was because he was unexpectedly on the same page.
