chapter 8

nThis life is…

nGyeongwan was waiting at the entrance of the prison as Taesan had ordered.

nStill, Gyeongwan paid attention to what was happening inside the prison with his senses.

nIf something happened, he was getting ready to go inside the prison.

nIn order to do so, he constantly channeled energy to his legs and shoulder.

nIt was not easy to constantly use the energy, but it was better than having something happen to Taesan.

nAlso, Taesan had a body where it wouldn’t be strange if he died at any time.

nHe lacked a heartbeat. He seriously lacked a heartbeat.

nDozens of doctors tried to diagnose Taesan’s heartbeat.

nStrangely, all doctors gave different interpretations. However, one common diagnosis was that Taesan lacked a heartbeat.

nTo sum up, what the doctors interpreted, Taesan was lucky to be alive.

nHow could others not worry about him?

nActually, Gyeongwan didn’t believe that people lacking heartbeats were geniuses until now.

nThe evidence was Taesan.

nHowever, that wasn’t it. He was arrogant. Lacking a heartbeat means the person is a genius — a genius who can break solid walls.

nAs his senses were fully concentrated inside the prison, there was a scream coming out of the prison.

n“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.”

nIt was a really tragic scream.

nGyeongwan shivered unconsciously. It wasn’t a normal scream.

nIt was a real scream coming out from deep inside one’s soul.

n“Ahhhhh! Uhhhh! Ohhhhhhh!”

nThe screams that followed were very intense.

nWas someone about to die?

nGyeongwan thought that when he died, he would make such a noise.

nAs he continued to listen to it, his legs started to shake.

n‘What is the Prince…. doing?’

nWould simple torture make the guy yell like that? That stubborn guy?

nHe didn’t moan a single time when Gyeongwan tortured him.

nPerhaps, Gyeongwan’s torture wasn’t perfect. Still, it wasn’t light to not moan even once.

nWhat did he do to drag out such a drastic moan coming out the guy?

n“Grrrrr!”

nThe screams continued uninterruptedly.

nIt was literally constant.

nHe was worried that the prisoner’s throat would rip.

nTime ticked. 15 minutes, 30 minutes…

nThe screams ended after 45 minutes.

nSurprisingly, the screaming continued until then.

nWhen a person screams like that, their voice would crack and they wouldn’t be able to talk.

nHowever, the guy inside the prison screamed for 45 minutes but his voice didn’t crack.

nAfter a while, Taesan came out from inside.

n“Are you okay? Mr. Prince?”

nInstead of saying “I’m okay,” Taesan looked inside the prison.

n“Release him.”

n“Sorry?”

nTaesan didn’t speak anymore and began walking as if he didn’t want to repeat himself.

nGyeongwan quickly went inside the prison.

nThe guy was exhausted and lying on the floor.

nGyeongwan woke him up by shaking his body.

n“Hey.”

nAlthough he must have been tortured, there were no wounds on the body, not even a single fingermark. In fact, the skin became better.

n“Hmm.”

nThe guy slowly opened his eyes. However, his vision looked somewhat unclear. It felt like looking at a crazy person.

nNot only that–

n“Huh?”

nGyeongwan stepped back in surprise.

nThe guy’s skin melted. At least, it appeared that way.

nIt was fine when Gyeongwan looked in detail.

nHowever, he was certain that something happened. There was a reason why Gyeongwan had such a misunderstanding.

n“Grrr!”

nThe guy made an unknown noise.

nGyeongwan began releasing the acupoints. Still, he was still being cautious.

nThat’s because the guy who had free acupoints may do crazy things.

nHowever, once the guy was freed, he just moved his body.

nIt felt like someone who was a bit crazy.

n“Hey, are you okay?” Gyeongwan asked the guy, but the guy didn’t reply and stood up.

n“Uhhhh.”

nThe guy began walking while making a sound that a stupid person would make.

nGyeongwan opened every door so the guy could move freely.

nThe guy left the prison and continued to walk after leaving the Golden Wall residence.

nGyeongwan thought to follow the man for a bit and he did.

nThat’s because he needed to know where the guy was heading.

nIt wasn’t far.

nThe guy was heading to the brothel.

nTaesan returned to his room and thought about what happened just now.

nFirst, he felt good because such a filthy spirit meant lots of gains for him.

nIt felt good when he took out and burnt the filthy spirit because a strong power was absorbed.

nIt would be great to absorb it immediately, but if he did so in his current status, he would faint so he had to accumulate it inside his body.

nBurning the soul meant purifying the soul.

nPurified power came after burning the soul which was left inside the body.

nHalfway through the process, a problem occurred.

nThis guy’s livelihood was so filthy that the soul was severely contaminated.

nFor ladies, the pureness left after removing the unclear soul.

nHowever, he was different.

nSuch a filthy spirit would be strongly attached to the original spirit that the two would assimilate.

nThe Magical Spell of increasing Spirit blended all the spirit and absorbed the power.

nOf course, if the filthy spirit assimilates with the soul, it would become strong enough to remove the soul.

nSo, he did so.

nHe removed part of the soul along with the filthy spirit.

nFrom the beginning, there was no need to feel pity for someone who lived such a life.

nThe problem was the pure soul that came along with it.

nTaesan threw the soul away.

nAfter purifying and burning with the Magical Spell, he let the pure soul fly away.

nTaesan had already experienced this in his past life. He knew how purifying the soul could create side effects.

nAlso, accepting such power in a weak body would make the body burst after a few minutes.

nTaesan raised his hands and looked inside while opening and closing his fist.

n“Dangerous.”

nAlthough it had been purified, the soul was mixed.

nActually, it would be wrong to even say mixed.

nJust a small trait existed.

nHowever, even accepting such strength became violent.

nIf such things are repeated, side effects will accumulate and the body will explode.

nTaesan turned his head.

nThere was only one solution: continue to purify and purify again before accepting the stored energy inside the body.

nBy doing so, he must burn off the pure soul.

nTaesan frowned.

n“I was relaxed.”

nHe was relaxed due to the power obtained while purifying Danyoung’s soul.

nHe didn’t expect a mixed soul due to contamination.

nStill, it was good that he knew about it now.

nIf he did it to someone who knew about the Spell, there would be a side effect for even storing the energy.

n“Then…I have no choice.”

nHe had to visit the brothel.

nPerhaps this life was all about scent rather than the smell of blood.

n“Boss. You may have to come outside.”

nThe owner stared at the man for a bit who entered the room without any movement.

nHe was also a wise warrior working for the owner, although he was way inferior to the one who was captured.

n“What is going on?”

n“The guy who got captured is back.”

n“What?”

nHe would only call one man his older brother.

nThe owner frowned. What was she supposed to do if she had to deny the relationship with the guy, especially if it was in the middle of the day?

n“Who saw that?”

n“Don’t need to mention that. Everyone is watching.”

n“What?”

nThe owner stood up.

n“Are you crazy?”

n“I think it’s not right that’s why I told you to come out.”

nThe owner frowned as the guy was impolite.

n‘These guys…want to challenge me.’

nHowever, she couldn’t do anything now. She left the room with a firm face.

nShe stood still after seeing the guy waiting in front of her room.

nThen, she understood what her warrior was saying to her.

nThe guy who she cherished the most was standing there. However, he didn’t appear normal.

nHe couldn’t standstill. He was looking here while standing awkwardly, his vision looked unclear and anybody could sense that he was not normal.

n“Grrrrr…”

nWhat was this noise he was making with his mouth? What made him turn out like this?

n“What should we do?” the warrior standing next to the owner asked. He also looked confused.

nOf course, the calmness shook as someone who he called big brother returned like this.

n“What else should we do? Let him in.”

nAt that moment, he made an unknown noise and turned his head.

nThe sound of a breaking bone made his neck twisted.

n“What are you doing? Hurry up!”

nAs the owner shouted, the warrior assisted his older brother inside. He brought the guy inside the owner’s room.

nWhile the guy was brought inside the room, the owner just looked at the guy. She wanted to know what happened after making the guy stay awake.

nShe needed to know something in order to handle things.

n“Stimulate his blood path so he can wake up.”

n“Huh? If something goes wrong, he can become an idiot.”

nThe owner was irritated.

n“I think he is already. Isn’t it better to give it a try?”

nThe warrior hesitated a bit but went to his older brother while turning his head.

nAfterward, the warrior stimulated a few blood vessels connected to the brain.

nAt that moment, the guy’s body started to dismantle.

n“Grrrrr!”

nThe skin was trickling down and the bones and muscles broke out.

nThe owner observed in shock.

n“What’s this?! What is going on!”

nThe guy’s eyes had eye contact with the owner while breaking down.

nThe owner lost her energy while watching the guy.

nHe was coming closer to her.

nThe owner turned pale. She couldn’t think of anything. She was just scared and afraid.

nAlso, she thought of one person in her mind.

n‘Taesan!’

nAs the owner became conscious, she lifted her finger and pointed at the guy. Her fingers were shaking.

n“What are you doing? Put him away!”

nAs her voice seemed like she was having a seizure, the warrior looked at her and began to move.

nHowever, there was no need. The guy’s body collapsed in front of the owner and was separated on the floor.

nThe owner fell to the ground as she lost her balance. Then she did her best to calm herself from shaking.

nEndless fear rose up from deep inside.

n“What should I do?”

nAs the warrior saw everything, he asked a question with a grim face.

n“What else? We should clean up well.”

n“Understood.”

n“Ah, also.”

nThe warrior tried to go outside but stopped and looked at the owner.

n“How is Danyoung doing?”

n“Didn’t you say you will be handing her over to Red Dragon’s owner. She is getting ready.”

nOf course, Danyoung didn’t know about it.

nRed Dragon owner Jeoksim Wi was part of one of the strong clans in Muhan.

nJeoksim was one of the regular customers of the brothel.

nToday morning, he coincidentally saw Danyoung.

nIn the past, he didn’t pay attention to her but he couldn’t resist giving her attention this morning.

nJeoksim fell in love.

nIt was more accurate to say he wanted to spoil her pureness.

nIt felt like he would be in trouble if he couldn’t do so.

nRecently, there were a few ladies who gave off similar feelings but it wasn’t like that at the time.

nLadies who regained pureness through Taesan stimulated Jeoksim’s desire and Danyoung made him maximize this desire.

nIt was certain that Danyoung would be ruined if she went to Jeoksim.

nHowever, the owner didn’t hesitate at all while processing such work, even from this morning.

nHowever, now things had changed.

n“Cancel it.”

n“Sorry?”

n“Cancel it.”

nThe warrior couldn’t reply and just looked at the owner. He understood how she felt.

nHe would make the same decision if he was the owner.

nHowever, looking at the situation from afar, he couldn’t agree with the decision she made.

n“The Red Dragon group won’t be happy.”

nJeoksim, the owner of Red Dragon group would use any means to completely destroy the brothel.

nThe owner turned her head.

n“Send Danyoung to the Golden Wall residence. Right now.”

nThen, the warrior shook his head.

nThey’d divert Jeoksim’s anger towards the Golden Wall clan or Taesan instead of the brothel.

n‘Hmm.. will Jeoksim fall for it?”

nHe was a bit doubtful but this seemed to be the only choice.

nSo, the warrior shook his head towards the owner.

n“I will do so.”

n
