I Don’t Want This Reincarnation

Chapter 224



Cheon Sa-yeon answered my question calmly without even looking at me. I frowned at that action.

‘Something… feels strange?’

What else were you doing this for? Maybe I should have a separate conversation with Cheon Sa-yeon later.

“Deputy Master Ha Tae-heon. If you’re going to accompany us to America, solve other necessary problems in Roheon.”

“I understand.”

“When we arrive in America, we will be staying there with the help of the Athena Guild.”

Park Geon-ho nodded at the explanation that followed.

“I’m sure the Athena Guild is the safest.”

“Right. But we can’t stay long, so we’ll have to find information about the Praus Cult as soon as possible.”

Since Requiem Master Cheon Sa-yeon and Roheon Deputy Master Ha Tae-heon were leaving Korea, it was obvious that a lot of complicated things would happen after a week had passed.

In the worst case, only Cheon Sa-yeon and Ha Tae-heon would return to Korea and the remaining people would face the Praus Cult.

‘Before that happens, we should get some useful clues.’

If SS-rank Cheon Sa-yeon and Ha Tae-heon were away, the Praus Cult came to attack… it wouldn’t be easy to win. That part was the most disturbing to me.

“Going to America is confirmed, so prepare in advance. The exact schedule will be delivered through Woo Seo-hyuk as soon as it is decided.”

“All right.”

As soon as Cheon Sa-yeon finished speaking, Woo Seo-hyuk took his cell phone out of his suit pocket.

“I got a call from Healer Min Ah-rin. The operation went without any problems.”

Thank, God. I was a little relieved by the good news.

So now all that’s left was a meeting about the upcoming antidote. After hearing Woo Seo-hyuk’s words, Cheon Sa-yeon gave the order.

“Contact the victim Choi Ga-young’s family and send them a message so they can meet tomorrow.”

“Yes.”

“Then we’ll take a break and meet again at the next meeting.”

Cheon Sa-yeon stood up from his seat without any regrets. I didn’t know it would end like this, but I noticed Cheon Sa-yeon’s appearance on the way to the conference room door belatedly.

“Wait a minute, Master Cheon Sa-yeon!”

Despite my urgent call to grab hold of him, Cheon Sa-yeon didn’t stop his steps and left the conference room. At that blatant disregard, the sense of uneasiness that I had felt before grew stronger.

‘What is it?’

As I frowned in my complicated mind, Kim Woo-jin, who was sitting next to me, looked at me with a worried expression.

“Han Yi-gyeol, what’s wrong?”

“…no. Nothing.”

Still, wasn’t it the first time I had been so openly ignored like today. I pressed my forehead with my finger, which was constantly gaining strength.

I really don’t know. Of course, this wasn’t the first time Cheon Sa-yeon had acted in an unknown way, but…

I desperately needed a book containing Cheon Sa-yeon’s past that Elohim would bring now. Could I understand Cheon Sa-yeon a little more by looking at it?

‘He’s a tough guy…’

It was like this again as soon as I thought I had gotten to know him a little bit because he wasn’t usually a difficult opponent.

“Ha…”

No matter how much I thought about it, I felt like I was being swayed by myself. I let out a sigh.

* * *

Ja, here’s the antidote.”

Luzel took out a small bottle from her inventory bag with a much better complexion than before. The bottle, about the length of a little finger, contained a pale purple liquid.

“And this is how it’s made.”

I looked at the contents of the flying note that had been brought with the wind ability, and then at the bottle that Luzel had taken out on the desk in the conference room.

Heland’s blood, Lucecta moth’s wing powder, Peroset’s body fluid… (헬런드의 피, 루섹타 나방의 날개 가루, 페로세트의 체액)

“Are all the things written here the ingredients from monsters?”

“Right. Except one or two, they’re all monsters, but since only those that are easy to obtain are deliberately selected and put in, so the duplication should be no problem.”

I see. I lifted the bottle and paper with the wind and sent them to Cheon Sa-yeon.

“Thank you for your detail explanation.”

“What. They said there were many victims, so we would need several copies as well, but this’s natural.”

Luke, who was sitting quietly next to Luzel, opened his mouth, paying close attention.

“It, it was possible because the drug itself wasn’t a very complicated production item.”

“Really?”

“Yes. It only contained body fluids that caused pain and hallucinations, such as the seltox scorpion poison or the terracin mushroom poison.”

Luke explained, with a twinkle in his eyes, in a confident demeanour, unlike just now. He was still confident when it was only about what he liked.

“I see. According to Luke-ssi, drugs are really dangerous.”

The figure was pretty cute, so when I clasped my hands and responded appropriately, Luke’s stiff shoulders came down a little more comfortably. It seemed he was relaxed a bit now.

“……”

Kim Woo-jin’s eyes, who sat next to me and looked at me and Luke alternately, started to get sharper.

He was doing it again. It always happened when he encountered a stranger, so I placed my hand on the back of Kim Woo-jin’s hand under the desk and patted him lightly a couple of times.

“Thank you for the antidote. We will hand it over to the Guild Management Headquarters as soon as possible and have it duplicated. I will pass on the names of the two of you together.”

When Cheon Sa-yeon put the paper with the antidote and ingredients in his inventory and said, Luzel was delighted.

“Oh, you have a good sense. If you do, we will be grateful.”

Producers got more requests as their names were known. It would be of great help if the names of Luzel and Luke were added to the antidote that would spread across the country.

“The wings attached to Choi Ga-young-ssi’s back were removed without any problem. We will take the fallen wings and dispose of them as you said.”

Min Ah-rin also contributed to the explanation of the following Luzel.

“For the wound on the back, Ha-seok-ssi and I worked together to treat it cleanly without a single scar, so I don’t think you need to worry about leaking related stories.”

Also, Min Ah-rin was quick-witted. She even thought about it that way.

“Thank you all for your hard work. Not only the antidote but also Choi Ga-young-ssi’s surgery. Thanks to you, we saved some time.”

“I’m glad it was helpful.”

To my greeting, Luzel responded with a pleasant smile.

‘It seems that the drug problem is somewhat over now.’

The antidote made by Luzel and Luke would be delivered to the victims under Choi Mi-jin’s supervision. Now that Doctor withdrew from Korea and moved to America, there was no possibility of another drug coming out.

‘Since everything is well organized, I can go to America with peace of mind.’

Of course, even after going to America, there were a lot of things to do. Still, I thought it was a great benefit to be able to leave the country after all that happened.

“Master, are you okay for a second?”

That was when the meeting was about to come to an end. The attendant knocked on the conference room door and called Cheon Sa-yeon with a brief silence.

“I will go.”

Instead of Cheon Sa-yeon, Woo Seo-hyuk stood up and followed the attendant out of the conference room. Through the transparent glass, the attendant was seen closely to Woo Seo-hyuk and delivered something.

‘…what?’

As I watched it, I narrowed my brow at the sudden, ominous feeling. The peaceful atmosphere that had just filled the conference room was broken in an instant.

“……”

Cheon Sa-yeon and Ha Tae-heon, who sensed something similar to me, also hardened their faces and looked at Woo Seo-hyuk. It wasn’t my mistake as two SS-rank people who were particularly sensitive to this kind of thing showed the same reaction at the same time.

After hearing the attendant’s words, Woo Seo-hyuk nodded his head with a rare frown on his face.

After confirming that the attendant had finished delivering, Woo Seo-hyuk returned to the conference room.

“Master. It seems like the meeting should be over at this point.”

“What’s going on?”

“It is said that Rep. Kang Cheol-woo (강철우) is dead.”

Rep. Kang Cheol-woo? I immediately thought of the person involved. Park Geon-ho, who had the same thought, opened his mouth with a surprised expression.

“Isn’t Rep. Kang Cheol-woo the father of Kang Seung-geon?”

“That’s right.”

As soon as Woo Seo-hyuk finished answering, Ha Tae-heon stood up with a vibrating cell phone. It was a call from Lee Joo-ha.

Woo Seo-hyeok, who was watching Ha Tae-heon leave the conference room to talk on the phone, continued the paused explanation.

“It’s not just death.”

“Then…”

“The guild management headquarters reported that he was murdered.”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who heard the story quietly, touched his lips.

“Deputy Master Ha Tae-heon must also be hearing this news by now.”

“It has been confirmed that Requiem and Roheon as well as other guilds have been informed.”

The guild management headquarters summoned the high-rank officials and guild leaders. Then it was clear what they meant.

‘Was he killed by a talented person?’

I was sure there would be traces of the abilities used by the criminal remaining at the scene of the incident. Could it be that this was also the work of the Praus Cult?

“Oh my God, the article has already been published.”

Min Ah-rin, who checked the news on her cell phone, said in a surprised voice. A well-known politician had died, so it was understandable.

“I’m leaving right away.”

Cheon Sa-yeon let out a short sigh as if it was bothersome, buttoned his suit jacket and got up. I wanted to go too if I could but there was no justification for me to intervene.

Anyway, I was going to have some time to talk to Cheon Sa-yeon later, so I had no choice but to go and ask.

Cheon Sa-yeon and Woo Seo-hyuk rushed out. Ha Tae-heon, who went after being called, probably didn’t come back and went straight to the crime scene.

“Umm, I was going to have a beer, but I’m not in the mood for that. Healer Do Ha-seok was looking forward to it.”

Luzel, who was looking at the empty conference room, scratched her head with a puzzled face. I smiled awkwardly and comforted her.

“Yes, it’s unfortunate. Let’s go drink next time we have a chance.”

“Alright. I don’t want to drink in this situation.”

After giving a calm reply, Luzel got up from her seat.

“We’ll be on our way. If there are any problems with the antidote, please contact us. Luke, let’s go.”

After saying their goodbyes, Luzel and Luke left the conference room. When I returned from seeing them off, Min Ah-rin carefully opened her mouth.

“I’m kind of anxious. A murder case… moreover, it’s a bit suspicious that talented people are involved.”

Park Geon-ho also sympathized with Min Ah-rin’s said with an uneasy look.

“Rep. Kang Cheol-woo would have been very careful about his safety. It doesn\'t seem like a normal thing.”

“It’s not normal for the guild management headquarters, which hasn’t yet been properly restored, to come forward and gather the masters.”

Listening to Kwon Jeong-han, I thought of Cheon Sa-yeon and Ha Tae-heon, who had gone to the crime scene.

‘I hope it’s nothing happens.’
