Chapter 232: Decision 3

Sungju was about to curse at Junhyuk, who had grabbed his wrist, but before he did, he was already flying in the air. After rolling on the ground, he looked at Junhyuk and watched him punch the R-agents on the chin.

Thuck!

Each blow knocked an R-agent out. After putting every R-agent to sleep, Junhyuk walked toward the front of the lecture room. The female students were scared of him, and Junhyuk hit the back of their necks lightly. He was wearing a bandana around his head hide his face from people.

The women lost consciousness, and Junhyuk looked around the room. Eunkyung and the R-agents were on the ground still in chains. Junhyuk got a handle on the cooldown of Sungju's power and stood in front of him.

Sungju was staring intently at him, and Junhyuk unwrapped his bandana and smiled. Junhyuk was emanating cold-blooded killing intent, and Sungju got scared. Junhyuk approached.

Sungju had been to the Dimensional Battlefield and knew what was taking place at the moment. Junhyuk wasn't an opponent he could deal with, so he lowered his head, and Junhyuk frowned.

"Look up."

"I didn't do this intentionally."

"No excuses."

Sungju was groveling at Junhyuk's feet and extended his hand toward him. The chain wrapped around Junhyuk's neck, arm and leg and slammed him toward the wall. Then, Sungju picked up a baton and yelled, "f.u.c.k! I knew I couldn't kill you!"

He ran at Junhyuk and swung the baton at him. It broke in half, leaving Sungju excited, but that's when Junhyuk said, "Your power deals damage, but without it you are nothing."

Sungju got so scared that he ran away, and Junhyuk added, "You have three seconds."

Sungju broke down the door and kept running. Meanwhile, Junhyuk untied himself from the chains and followed. Sungju kept going at full speed. He had run for three seconds, but he didn't know where he could go, so he used the door by the stairwell and went through it. Junhyuk teleported.

He was walking up the stairs, and when Sungju saw him, he was terrified. Junhyuk smiled coldly at him.

Because he was wearing his mask, the smiled was even more reminiscent of a killer. Sungju knew he couldn't kill him, so he ran back to the lecture room, but when he saw Eunkyung dead, he frowned.

Junhyuk teleported in front of him and said.

"Do you realize what you did now?"

"It wasn't my intention…"

His voice gave out, and Sungju walked over to Eunkyung's corpse and hugged her. Junhyuk stood behind him.

"You did this."

"f.u.c.k! I didn't mean to!"

Sungju was about to cry, but Junhyuk grabbed his head and slammed it against the ground, leveling it with Eunkyung's head. Sungju closed his eyes.

"You did this. Don't avert your eyes."

"I, I, I… "

"I know the Dimensional Battlefield is a s.h.i.tshow. Even if you return alive, it's hard to stay sane," Junhyuk said. "But you've crossed the line."

He couldn't be controlled and he couldn't be trusted. However, Junhyuk couldn't let him go either. Doyeol might enlist him to his side, and he would be dangerous. Even Junhyuk knew the danger of those chains. Novices didn't have a lot of equipment, so if Sungju tied them up, and Doyeol's forces focused their attacks on them, they could be killed.

He couldn't let him live.

Junhyuk balled left his hand into a fist and raised it. He was about to finish it. However, Sungju pointed his palm toward him, and the blue chains wrapped around him again.

Junhyuk laughed.

"You can gain a few seconds, but you can't get away from me."

Sungju got up and stared at him.

"Who are you to judge me?!"

"You have three seconds," Junhyuk said.

Sungju gritted his teeth and started running away, but he took a different path this time. He was running toward the window. When he reached it, he jumped down from it.

Junhyuk got loose and ran to the window. Sungju had jumped from four stories high, and it looked like he had just broken a leg and was getting away. Junhyuk kept watching and saw the R-agents noticing Sungju from their vans and running toward him. Junhyuk had trusted his powers too much.

Sungju was limping, but he stopped once he saw the agents. Then, he turned around and pointed the middle finger at Junhyuk, thinking that the R-agents were there to protect him.

Junhyuk returned the Pure Golden Knight Elder's Ring and summoned the Blood Rune Sword. They couldn't see his sword from where they were.

"You son of a b.i.t.c.h! Eat s.h.i.t and die!"

Sungju was waiving his middle finger around, and Junhyuk released the Spatial Slash. The b.l.o.o.d.y Rune Sword flashed, slicing Sungju's neck.

"Ugh!"

Sungju vomited blood, grabbing his neck with his hand and finding nothing but a gash. Junhyuk returned his equipment and disappeared.

The R-agents stood over Sungju, and others looked to where Junhyuk had been standing. They really couldn't see anything.

While talking to Ganesha, Junhyuk looked around him and walked away.

"How is the situation?"

[One of them is in control of the CCTV feeds.]

"Erase everything concerning Sungju and the R-agents. How much time do I have?"

[I can do it in thirty seconds.]

Ganesha was really powerful, and Junhyuk wrapped himself with the bandana and headed up the stairs. The door to the roof was sealed, so he teleported outside. Then, he leaned over the building and scoped out the area. The R-agents were taking Sungju's dead body to their van.

"Will they research the novice's corpse?"

Others were entering the building. He had already made sure that Sungju's health had hit zero, so there was no reason for him to stay there. To get away, Junhyuk used his skill to jump high in the air. Then, he teleported and landed far away from the lecture hall.

He walks to his parked car, and once inside it, he called Ganesha.

"Any trace of me?"

[None.]

"What about the CCTV footage?"

[No trace.]

The important thing was to get away from there, so he started his car, and once he got far away from the university, he rolled down the window and felt the wind on his face as he stepped on the gas. He did what he had to do, but there was still remorse.

Handling the wheel tightly, he drove for a while before getting back to GST's parking lot. Daesan and Sungtae were there waiting for him. When he got out of the car, he tossed the keys at Daesan and said, "Nice ride."

"It's nothing."

Junhyuk didn't say anything else and left Daesan behind. Sungtae followed him to the elevator, and once inside, he checked him out and asked, "How was your business?"

Junhyuk looked at him.

"Ganesha said you wanted to collect a novice, but you came back alone."

Junhyuk grabbed a hold of him and said, "I did not tell you because you did not need to know."

"Right, right!"

"Just understand it and forget about it."

Sungtae nodded quickly.

"Thanks," he said and continued, "By the way, do your friends have unique skills?"

"They are not unique skills, but they are interested in different things. Tirot and Brita are impressive though."

"Impressive?"

"They are both very creative. Their thought processes are very different. Sometimes, they come up with cool idea, but usually, they are very strange."

Junhyuk looked at him and said, "You are like that too."

Sungtae laughed hard.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha! You are wrong. I only come up with cool ideas."

Junhyuk shook his head.

"Why haven't you gotten out?"

They had pa.s.sed the ninth floor, heading to the tenth, and Sungtae shrugged.

"I'm escorting you."

Junhyuk laughed, got out on the tenth floor and looked at him.

"I like Ganesha's capabilities."

"You know how much it cost already."

"No one is coming after me, right?"

Sungtae pounded his chest and said proudly, "Don't worry. I combined my skills with Ganesha's. No one can trace you."

Junhyuk smiled at him and said, "Close the door."

"Rest easy."

The elevator's door shut, and Junhyuk went to his office. Sitting on a chair, he looked out the window. He was watching the nightlife outside while he pulled out his burner phone and called Sarang.

"Big brother! What's up?"

"I just wanted to hear from you"

"Big brother, did something happen?" she asked him carefully.

Junhyuk was shocked by the scope of her skills and said, "Nothing serious."

He didn't want to tell her he had just killed a man in South Korea. He just wanted to hear her bright voice. That was good enough for him.

"What were you doing?"

"I was thinking about you."

"What?! Are you teasing me?"

"He-he! I was studying."

They exchanged jokes, and his mind relaxed.
