Chapter 104 . Entering the Valhalla Dungeon



Kim Sung-hee couldn’t believe her eyes .


‘W-With just the two of them…!’


The sight of Kang Chul-In and Dorian combining forces to fight off the 500+ men of Alex Rothschild was much too shocking for her .


Not only that, but . . .


‘I tried to fight against that man…?’


Now realizing that she had severely and incredibly underestimated Kang Chul-In’s strength, she couldn’t lift her head .


‘Hah… how stupid and arrogant must I have seemed to him? I must have been crazy . ’


She wasn’t an idiot .


Though she was known as the daughter to a major conglomerate in Korea and was born with a gold spoon in her mouth, she wasn’t someone that couldn’t think for herself .


“Hey, eyewitness!”


Kang Chul-In called her from afar .


“ . . . Yes?”


At the word ‘eyewitness’, Kim Sung-hee’s face stiffened .


“W-Wait a minute!”


Almost wetting her pants out of fear, Kim Sung-hee started to take slow steps backwards .


“P-Please…! Can you spare me just this one time?”


Kim Sung-hee realized that in Pangaea, her status as the daughter of a big, powerful company was of no use whatsoever .


She knew that her life was in the hands of Kang Chul-In .



Pft---


Kang Chul-In smirked .


“ . . . !”


Kim Sung-hee froze in place, scared of what would come next .


“I like the fact that you aren’t too stupid and dull . At least you don’t want to die, huh?”


Kang Chul-In said .


“T-Then…!”


“Hey, you fly . ”


Kang Chul-in once again called out .


“Fly?”


“Yeah, you . I called you a fly because you keep buzzing around us like a mosquito or a fly would . If you don’t like it, then…”


‘He called me a fly… But, I’m still a girl, you know? How can he be so mean…’


Although Kim Sung-hee’s pride was deflated…


“N-No, it’s alright . You might not know my name, right?”


She could still endure it . At least she could keep her precious life .


“Kim Sung-hee, right?”


“Yes…”


“I know your name . ”


Hearing this, Kim Sung-hee tried her best to suppress her anger, and looked at Kang Chul-In’s face, speechless .


‘How can someone be so frustrating and annoying?!’


Looking at Kang Chul-In’s slight smile, Kim Sung-hee tried her best to calm herself down .


Kang Chul-In then continued with,


“Hey, I need you to complete a task for me . ”


Kang Chul-In wanted to use Kim Sung-hee .


He would try and use her to put Aleister into a trap .


-----


“This is a chance for you, fly . ”


Kang Chul-In wanted to make a deal with her .


“This task… this task is an opportunity?”


“Yeah . ”


“I don’t understand? How will a task you give me be an opportunity?”


As the words ‘opportunity’ and ‘chance’ piqued her interest, Kim Sung-hee futhered inquired .


“I’ll give you strength . ”


“ . . . !”


“It seems like you want to get stronger, no? Of course, it will be nigh impossible for you to become as powerful as me, or even this pushover over here . ”


Kang Chul-In stared at Dorian and spoke .


“I already told you, I’m not a pushover…!”


“Whatever you say, pushover . ”


Kang Chul-In didn’t care whether Dorian got upset or not .


“I’ll make you two to three times stronger than you are now . ”


“ . . . Really?”


“Of course . ”


“If that’s the case, it must be a very difficult ‘task’ . ”


“Of course it is . This is a task where you need to put your life on the line . If you are able to complete it successfully, I’ll make you stronger . But if you fail…”


“I would die?”


“No . ”


“No?”


“You would suffer a fate even worse than dying . ”


Kim Sung-hee couldn’t understand what kind of task required her to take a risk that was ‘worse than dying’ .


‘This is madness!’


Although she wanted to reject this offer right now…


‘ . . . He might kill me if I reject this proposal . I’m an eyewitness, after all . ’


“Are you scared?”


“Yes . . . of course I am . ”


“Then don’t do it . ”


“But if I reject it…”


“I won’t kill you . ”


“Of course you won’t… Huh?!”


Kim Sung-hee was startled .


“Really? You won’t kill me?”


Kim Sung-hee then realized how insignificant she was in the eyes of Kang Chul-In, and how she was just a small, pa.s.sing existence .


“Then, can I hear the contents of the task first?”


“Don’t ask me . My thoughts are that if you truly wanted to become powerful, you wouldn’t care about the methods . So, I’ll ask you one last time . Will you do it?”


Kang Chul-In had a tendency to look at people who stayed true to their desires on a high pedestal, and Kim Sung-hee was someone who fit that criteria well .


“ . . . Yes, I think I will . ”


-------


After was.h.i.+ng their bloodied bodies in a nearby stream, Kang Chul-In and Dorian immediately headed into the underground pa.s.sage that leads to the Valhalla dungeon .


‘It’s been a while’ .


Kang Chul-In reminisced of the past, remembering ‘the old days’ before he had reincarnated .


But…


This sensation didn’t last for too long .


Because suddenly, a message popped up in front of his eyes .


[Can you handle ‘their’ rage and hatred?]
