n“What are we going to do?!” The boss said as he fell in deep panic. He can’t believe that someone managed to steal their breaker.

n“It caused a breakdown!” He shouted. A loud siren went off and they also heard a strange sound coming from the lab.

nJjjiiii….Jjjijiji…Kwang….Kwang…

nIt sounded like something sharp and heavy was hitting the ground. It was accompanied by a weak red light shining down the hallway.

n“Unbelievable…” He said that out loud and he quickly covered his mouth. He was so shocked as he had never seen anything like that. He wondered if he was having a nightmare at the moment.

nHe walked by the giant glass tube and stared at it. He didn’t mind the background noise behind those experiments and he wondered how scared could they have been.

nHe quickly turned his head and looked at all of his workers preparing as the alarm went on. He wanted to tell them that they should escape immediately but he didn’t have the strength to open his mouth at the moment. He just watched them as time passed by.

n‘If I stay quiet then I could live on.’

nAfter that, he went to his employees and he sent them a signal.

nHowever, there was a problem. When he was about to give it to his men, he saw something strong with his vision.

n“Huh? What’s that…” He said but he wasn’t able to say anything else. His jaws were completely frozen.

nSwoosh… Swoosh…

nBoth of his arms and legs suddenly felt weak as soon as he got shot in his neck and started to bleed.

n“Ahh!” He managed to let out a shout.

n“Huh? What’s going on!?” One of the other employees yelled and everyone else then looked over to see what was happening. Everyone then screamed in fear as they went to their chambers to load themselves with their weapons.

nDespite their efforts, what they needed the most was a good plan to escape.

n“Hurry!” The boss yelled and then another employee was shot.

n“Everyone! Let’s get out of here!”

n***

n-Why did you do this? Now, they’re running around like a bunch of beetles.

n-Because it’s fun to watch them run around like a bunch of beetles.

n-Are you a child? Only a kid would enjoy something like this.

n-Well, you’re the one watching dramas all the time…

nJaehwang replied to the spirit’s mocking before he walked down the hallway. They could see all the chaos everywhere as everyone ran around and screamed in terror. Both of them felt that there was someone strong hidden in that bunch but Jaehwang just brushed it off. Something must have been going on in the laboratory.

nThere weren’t any practitioners left but they saw a bystander. He wondered if someone like them could come back to life but that idea didn’t make any sense.

n-Wow!

nJaehwang then started to run as soon as he saw a partition coming down. He passed by three partitions as he ran and ended up in an empty spot, but that didn’t make him stop. He upped his speed until he saw an opened vent.

nHe even encountered the same obstacles as he pushed through. It got a little tougher to now he got that far but he still went on.

nThe height and its width were just about one meter but that didn’t slow him down. He seemed to be running randomly but he had a clear destination in mind. It wasn’t difficult as it wasn’t much different from anything that he’s done before.

n-We’re almost there.

nWhat he had in mind was the secret underground basement of the laboratory, and although that was the worst place to go, it had an exit that he could take.

n-Go down and then go right, there are two people there! One of them is kinda strong!

n-Okay.

nJaehwan then went through an opening and activated his Tiger Hunter Skill.

n“Ouch!”

nHe jumped out and landed on someone who was running as well.

n“W-what?… Who?”

n“Because of the shutdown protocol, the ventilation system seemed to be out of order!” Jaehwang said as a cover-up.

n“Ugh, nevermind!” Jaehwang said and he continued to run. He then went into a room and looked inside for a few documents.

n“Spare me! Take them instead please!” An employee shouted in fear.

n“Sure.” He got a case of documents filled with rare information, that’s what he was looking for. He got up to his feet and left the man alone.

n***

n“Boss! Hurry, we have to go faster!”

n“Alright,” The boss replied with a calm demeanor. They went onto the elevator to get to the bottom floor. His legs suddenly felt weak as it became a little bit harder for them to breathe.

n“Huh?” The employee saw someone standing by at the elevator. He didn’t seem hurt to anything, he was just standing there.

n“What are you doing?” A guy said to him in a low voice. The one standing there seems to be pretty young. The sound of his voice seemed to be belong with someone who’s in his early twenties…

n“You… Where are you running off to? Why are you going to the top floor?” The boss shouted.

nThe guy standing by the elevator was Jaehwang who then replied saying, “Me? This is my job.”

n“Haaaa? Hahahahahaha!” The boss gave him a laugh as a reply as he saw him holding a set of documents in one of his hands. They didn’t know what he was planning but they were soon about to find out.

nTeukteuk…

n“Huh?” They took a few steps closer towards Jaehwang and they felt something slippery.

n“W-what’s this!” He felt an intense pain in both of his eyes. It got harder to breathe until he was completely swamped by it.

nPong!

nHe couldn’t see anything coming. He just felt a giant explosive blow at the back of his head that crashed him on a nearby wall. He then rubbed his eyes in an attempt to see what was going on.

nPong… Pong…

nTwo arrows flew into his heart and he aimed to kill that employee for a reason. The boss then stepped back as he screamed in terror. Everything happened so fast, he had no idea what just happened.

nAll that he saw was the intruder’s hands dripping in blood as he stood in front of him.

n“Ahhh!”

nHe thought that he would be calm about the the though of dying since he had lived a full life but his employee’s death changed his mind.

n“S-spare me please!”

n“Why should I spare you?”

n“B-because…” He was too scared to speak as he knew that his reason won’t be that good. He didn’t want to say anything to make the situation worse. If it that was possible, that is. “I… I am a man of great wisdom! If I die then this organization will be-”

nHe couldn’t finish his sentence. He could already tell that his answer wasn’t doing any good.

n“Really? Well then, can you tell me what’s going on here?”

n“I can’t. I can’t tell you!” He instinctively said before realizing it. “W-well, I know a lot of Daehyeon group secrets!”

n“For example…?”

n“Well… Uh… We…”

nJaehwang wanted to know about the relationship between the Daehyeon group and the Samjeon church, but he knew that he wouldn’t get any answers that easily. If he could get something out of this situation then it would be easier to take them down.

nJaehwang then smirked and said, “Is your organization a parasite to the people of the Samjeon church? If not then what kind of connection do you have with the events that recently happened in Justin point with the Oaks??”

n“Well I… I don’t know…” The boss lowered his chin and continued. “I’m a man with very limited outlooks and thoughts… I don’t have a reason good enough for you to spare me.”

nJaehwang then took a few steps closer to the boss who then stepped back and shouted, “That situation has something to do with Japan!”

n“Japan?” Jaehwang asked.

n“Yes! The Japanese empire worked together with the Chinese and they made the Oaks stronger so they could attack Justin point.”

n“What about the Samjeon church?”

n“The Samjeon church leader and his followers played a very important role in the entire situation and with the Daehyeon group… I-I…. I have evidence!” The leader said as he shut his eyes. He couldn’t take back the secrets he just revealed.

n“Hm… Then tell me. What makes you such an important person?” Jaehwang asked and the leader then shouted,

n“When this secret laboratory is destroyed and when they make a new one, I will be resigning from the leader position and my brother would become the vice chairman of the Daehyeon group!”

n“Good. I guess I’ll spare you.” Jaehwang said and the leader sank to the ground in relief. Jaehwang then turned around and walked into the elevator. He gave him a last look and said, “Aren’t you gonna get in or what?”

n“Oh… That elevator leads to the main floor…” This elevator had always served as his safe place but he didn’t feel comfortable with him in it. “Well… I-Okay…”

n“Let me operate it at least,” the leader said as he swiped his ID and typed in the secret number after he got inside. The laboratory closing protocol was still going on and everyone was still rushing around.

nDing~

nHe pressed the button to the first floor and took a deep breath. “I won’t kill you and that means… Bye…”

n“?”

nPong!

nJaehwang kicked the leader out as soon as the elevator door opened. He was thrown out but he just lifted his head and looked back to him in shock.

n“Ahhhh!!” He was confused as he asked himself if he was trying to kill him. Luckily, Jaehwang just walked away without a word.

nIt was pitch-black and Jaehwang then felt something sharp on the ground.

n“Ouch…”
