Chapter 141: A Shard Within (3)

Of course, Hyunjae Sung did not say that he will trust me . He responded with a gaze filled with suspicion and curiosity about what my plan was .

“I have a psychological skill that I want to use to return your memory . However, since my stats are low, I cannot use it without your consent . ”

“You’re telling me to accept a psychological skill . ”

“Yes . ”

Hyunjae Sung’s expression was expectably sour since who would like to have his or her head dug up? A hunter with violent tendencies might start swinging a sword to open up my head first .

“How soft was I on you for you to say that kind of nonsense without hesitation?”

“I’m trying to help you out of goodwill with some risks on my part . I’m quite expensive, Sesung Guild Leader . ”

“Even for me?”

“Not if you gave me the Sesung Guild . Give up . ”

“You’re confident . ”

“Stop avoiding the subject . ” I cut into the chase . “If you don’t like my proposal, go on living like now . ”

I needed some things from him, including immediate cooperation, but the Hyunjae Sung in front of me did not know that . So, I went in strong .

Hyunjae Sung’s eyes narrowed at my provocation, and I felt chills run down my spine . The house was cold enough for me to have goosebumps on my arm . I should make an appeal that he has to keep me alive about now .

“Please calm down and look at this . ”

I pushed my phone to him that displayed an article about me . It included details about the farm facilities, riding beasts, and Myungwoo . Hyunjae Sung picked up the phone and scrolled down the article without speaking .

“This is the Comet Soyoung was talking about . ”

“It’s a cute dragon with useful skills that have not been revealed yet, like my skill of doubling the effect on offensive skills . ”

“That’s not very useful for a low-grade hunter . ”

“This skill can be shared . I told you that we hunted a SS class monster together, right? It was quite effective there . ”

“Then why did I leave you alone?”

Hyunjae Sung tilted his neck as he returned my phone .

“I would have tamed and tied you up . ”

“I have an L class curse resistance skill, so that might be difficult . ”

“An L class?”

His pale eyes looked surprised . A Hyunjae Sung, who does not know anything about me, was amusing in his responses .

“I also have high-class poison resistance . I nullified your contract with that lizard . Check if you want . ”

“I wondered when you spoke about an arm and a leg . ”

“I lent you a hand . I have nothing to lose if I go back and will live well in peace . You, however, need me . ”

“You’re aggressive for someone who does not have a problem . ”

“It’s for the times we had, so I’ll say this one last time . ”

I raised one hand and continued .

“Please submit to my skill . ”

He was not someone who would give up in front of an F class when he had so much to know . Hyunjae Sung nodded his head after a short while .

“It’s been a long time since my last gambit . ”

“I heard that less than a month ago . Please don’t get addicted . ”

Hyunjae Sung let down his suspicions at my words and smiled .

***

I had Irin’s help the last time I used this skill, so this was my first time using it alone . I was worried about whether it would work properly, but from my struggle to turn off the skill last time, I made a psychological space more easily than I thought .

I opened my eyes to see a room where the light came in from a large window . A man was standing with his back to it, and his eyes smiled as he saw me .

“Hello, Yoojin Han . ”

“How can you be so calm greeting me?”

My worry sank and grew cold . I had been a tiny bit worried, but it was a meaningless emotion . Maybe I should just get out .

“I apologize for surprising you since this was beyond my estimations . ”

“I was not surprised, but I was almost killed . ”

“I see that I had been impolite . ”

“It was nothing . I was dragged by a chain and went up the stairs with my body, and almost drowned in an aquarium . ”

“I’m ashamed of my actions . You came to my home, and I only served water . ”

Do you call that serving? I did drink a lot though .

“So, what happened? Can you get out again?”

“I began to feel that something was wrong from about two months ago . ”

Hyunjae Sung slanted his neck and started speaking . Two months meant that he had felt the effects of my regression .

“At first I sensed minor differences, but I remembered something concrete at dawn that my abilities to handle magnetic forces in range and intensity were still weak . ”

Deep golden eyes looked at me . Taewon Song did not know that Hyunjae Sung could use magnetism, and it was because he was unable to wield it .

‘His range and intensity were powerful . ’

If he could use magnetism that well, he had to have used it on a smaller scale a few times beforehand . Controlling properties perfectly like that was impossible despite it being a property innate in a hunter .

“I also vaguely remembered things I forgot, but they scattered like sand . I tried to go after them, and that’s why I’m in this situation . ”
