Ch 54

What had come flying out from below?

Chun Yooha was taken aback.

She looked up towards the direction where the object was sent flying.

However, she couldn’t see the object at all.

The only thing certain was the fact that Lee Gun had sent that object flying into the air.

He was also able to send the roof flying from so far below.

She was shocked.

On the other hand, Lee Gun calmly yelled out towards her.

“Was that your friend who was with you?”

“!”

Lee Gun looked embarrassed as he spoke from below.

It seemed he felt sorry about sending a friend of his niece flying.

At the very least, it seemed he had some conscience(?).

“I couldn't hear much because of the barrier.  I thought you guys were conversing with each other.”

Chun Yooha was shocked by his words.

It was to be expected considering where Lee Gun was located.

He was able to hear them from so far below the roof?

‘How developed are his senses?’

While she was still stunned, Lee Gun continued to speak.

“Did I send your friend flying?  If so, I am sorry.”

Chun Yooha looked unbothered as she blinked her eyes.

“Ah.  She isn’t a friend.  It’s fine.”

“Is that so?  That’s great.  However, Yooha…”

“Yes?”

“Why are you here?”

“!”

Chun Yooha flinched in surprise at her uncle’s words.

His reaction was expected since he was supposed to come to the Cheongwadae by himself.

However, Chun Yooha had followed after Lee Gun in secret.

Of course, Sungjae had also asked if he could go to the conference room, but Lee Gun had turned both of them down.  He told them to stay home.

He couldn’t take his niece and nephew to a place where the Gemini Saint’s magic was placed.

Lee Gun was currently only strong enough to protect himself from the Gemini Saint’s magic.

He didn’t want even a small spark to damage his cut niece and nephew.

Of course, that wasn’t the biggest reason why he didn’t bring them along.

‘I’m not going there to have a conversation.’

What kind of uncle wanted to take their niece and nephew to a place where he was going to fuck shit up?  He didn’t want them to witness him beating up people.

It wasn’t good from an educational(?) point of view.

This was why he was surprised.

‘How is she able to hide her presence so well?  She’s almost like a wild beast.’

If the woman, who he had sent flying, wasn’t having a conversation with Yooha, he wouldn’t have known she was there.

In the end, Yooha rolled her eyes as she turned her body slightly to the side.

She was slowly moving in the other direction as if she was about to run away.

Lee Gun laughed at her foolishness.

“Don’t think of running away.  Hurry up and come down.”

Chun Yooha, who had been sweating, jumped into the hole as if she had no choice.

Shweek!

She landed perfectly.  The sound of her descent was almost nonexistent.

She showed off the physical ability of a battle-type Saint as she descended into the conference room.

The desk and the door had been destroyed a long time ago.  About ⅓ of the politicians were unconscious and foaming on the ground.

The officials from the Japanese government were also on the ground shaking in fear.

Their gazes were fixed on the newly created hole in the room.

It seemed they were reacting to Lee Gun sending something through the roof.

This was why she asked the question.

“Uncle.  What did you just send flying…”

“H…Heiji-nim!”

“…did you send the Saint flying?”

Lee Gun clicked his tongue at the question.

He also started to massage one of his shoulders.

“That bitch tried to take out a soul.  That would have been annoying.”

Chun Yooha found his actions understandable.

The Gemini Saint would have access to a soul using Soul Invocation on top of the power given to her by her god.

The Gemini Saint was a troublesome foe because her magical energy rarely bottomed out.  It was because she possessed two personalities.

The reason was simple.

Gemini.

When the disciples of the Gemini called forth the power of the souls, they opened their eyes to more magic.  However, they didn’t usually use the power of the souls.

In normal situations, they mainly used the power of their god.

During the awakened period of , 100% of the souls' power was used.

‘Moreover, the Gemini Saint possesses the soul of a Fairy King.’

Amongst the souls that could be called forth through Soul Invocation, the Fairy Kings were the most powerful beings.

In terms of rank, they were equivalent to a god.

Basically, the Gemini Saint carried around two gods.

It was understandable as to why Lee Gun was annoyed when facing the Gemini Saint.

“That Fairy King bastard always tries to feed people stuff that’s inedible.  It also gives useless stuff.  It drove me insane.”

Chun Yooha flinched in surprise.

What the hell?

Wasn’t that really interesting?

“Anyways, I gave it some mental education afterward, but…”

Lee Gun tilted his head in puzzlement.

“Yooha?  Why are you suddenly looking up information about the Fairy King?”

“I think this is information that I should know..”

Chun Yooha’s eyes were oddly fierce.

It happened at that moment.

After the Saint was sent flying, the politicians had fallen into a state of panic.

They couldn’t look away from the hole in the roof.

“He…he sent a Saint flying!”

“R…really?  Lee Gun did?”

It was as if everything they had believed was shattered.

However, that wasn’t all.

“Heiji-nim!”

A young man, who came in late, looked thunderstruck as he looked towards the roof.

He was a government employee of Korea.

The man swayed on his feet as he tried to take in how all of this had unfolded.

However, he soon remembered his duty.

As if to prove it, he glared towards Lee Gun.

“What the hell did you do to the Saint…!”

Lee Gun let out a bright smile when he saw the man.

“It’s you.”

“What?”

Lee Gun’s eyes turned fierce as he looked at the man.

“You are the asshole that talked to me over the phone in the morning.  Right?”

“What?  What are you talking about….”

The man reacted as if Lee Gun’s assertion was preposterous.

However, Lee Gun laughed as if he was sure.

“I can tell by hearing your voice.  You are the asshole that told me in the morning that you can't return my stuff.”

“……?!”

It seemed the man finally realized it.

While he was calling Hugo, he told someone that Lee Gun’s items couldn’t be returned.

He had heard this voice during that phone call!

The man looked at his surroundings trying to find out what was going on.

The government officials were mouthing ‘Lee Gun!  Lee Gun’ in trying to clue him in.

The man’s face turned pale.

Lee Gun didn’t care if he was surprised or not.

He let out a savage smile.

“What did you say?  Didn’t you say the Japanese government owned all my assets?”

“What?  I mean…!”

“Then you accused the Archer Saint of being so broke that he was trying to get his hands on Lee Gun’s assets?”

“That’s not…!”

“You seemed to say anything you want because you can.  You are dead.”

“Ahhk!  I’m sorry…  Get away from…  Ahhhk!”

Before he could finish his sentence, Lee Gun’s fist flew towards him.

“You better apologize to my friend.  Also, give me back my stuff!  Bitch!”

“Huh-uhk!  I’ll apologize!  I’ll give you the items!  I’ll give…  Ahhk!”

Blood erupted from his nose and his teeth were sent flying.

The other officials shook as they watched the spectacle.

The government from 20 years ago had a policy when Lee Gun appeared.  The policy was to ask no question and suggest anything.  They had to evacuate first.

That policy made sense now.

‘They said you can’t reason with Lee Gun…!’

“Ahhhk!”

In the end, Lee Gun beat up the government officials, and he extracted various items from them.

“Let’s do this.”

Lee Gun looked at the Gemini Saint, who had fallen back into the conference room.

He let out a savage laugh as he looked at her.  Choi Sunghyuk became frightened.

“Lee Gun-nim!  Wait a moment!  That person is…!”

At the same time, the eyes of the fallen Gemini Saint flashed open.

She ran towards Lee Gun as if she wanted to kill him.

“!”

It seemed she planned on decapitating Lee Gun.

‘Yes.  As expected of a Saint…’

The officials finally smiled as hope reentered their faces.

“I’ve committed a grave sin!  Lee Gu-nim!”

The Gemini Saint was on her knees.  She even slammed her head to the floor.

Everyone was shocked by the sight.

“Heiji-nim?!”

The shock lasted only for a moment as something surprising happened.

The Gemini Saint’s appearance changed into someone else.

The young woman desperately yelled towards him.

“Lee Gun-nim!  Please spare me!  I’m not the Saint-nim!  We couldn’t find her, so I’m just a substitute!”

“……!”

Choi Sunghyuk massaged his brows as if he was watching a moron.

That’s right.

In truth, the woman was the Gemini Saint Heiji’s cousin.

She was put in as a substitute for the missing Gemini Saint.

“After Lee Gun-nim returned, our Saint-nim has been missing!  In fact, I’m starting to think you had something to do with her disappearance!”

“The Gemini Saint is missing?”

Choi Sunghyuk clicked his tongue when they saw the reaction from the politicians.

It was true.  The Gemini Saint’s disappearance coincided with Lee Gun’s appearance.

Of course, she had left behind the soul of the Fairy King to her substitute before she went missing.

This was why he assumed she was traveling around the world using her Possession spell like she usually did.  However, that was just his speculation.

‘She didn’t even show up even when her holy ground was razed to the ground.’

This was why they had brought out a fill-in, yet he never expected this to happen!

She revealed her identity without being prompted!

‘The only thing it does is to reveal the Gemini Saint’s current status.’

It was the worst possible outcome.

It was advertising to the outside forces that their castle was not being defended.

The reporters, who had gathered at the news of Lee Gun’s appearance, started to talk amongst themselves.

Lee Gun’s rampage was a mess, but this news was bigger than that.

“T…The Gemini Saint is a fake?”

“A fake entered the meeting with the government officials?  They tricked the government?”

Choi Sunghyuk glared at Heiji’s cousin.

Of course, she hadn’t planned on revealing her identity.

There was no way she wanted to leak the Gemini temple’s weakness.

However…

‘Who said Lee Gun is weak!’

If she didn’t reveal her identity, she really felt Lee Gun would kill her.

“Anyway, I’m not Heiji-nim!  The Saint went missing after leaving me her spirit.  Fortunately, I’m able to mimic her skills, so I was called in as a substitute…!”

“Yeah.  I know.”

“What?”

Lee Gun laughed as if he couldn’t understand why she had to ramble on about this nonsense.

“From the first time I saw you, I knew you weren’t that crazy bitch.”

“……!”

Choi Sunghyuk and the cousin were dumbfounded.

They looked as if their soul had left their body.

He knew it despite her possessing the spirit of the Fairy King?

“I’m using a transformation spell that can deceive a Construct…!”

They had rented the skill from the fish.  They had paid an exorbitant amount of money to the Pisces Saint.

However, Lee Gun just sneered as if they were talking nonsense.

He was a master craftsman that noticed the smallest of details when making his items.

“To my eyes, your face and bone structure are completely different.”

“Uh?  Then….”

“So what?”

“What?  I’m not the Saint….”

“You aren’t her, so just die.”

“What?!”

“You are her cousin.  Your crime is having the wrong relative.”

As soon as he spoke, a scream rang out.

[You’ve acquired Saint EXP]

[You’ve acquired Data.]

[You were able to capture the Fairy King.]

[The Fairy King is screaming as it tries to run away.]

At this point, the faces of the politicians had frozen.  Their faces were pale.

They finally grasped the situation.

The Gemini Saint, who was supposed to protect them, was nonexistent.

That wasn’t all.

‘She is an awakened being, but that’s not the problem.’

‘He sent her cousin flying as if she was nothing…!’

The cousin wasn’t Saint rank, but she probably was General rank!

Lee Gun turned his gaze.

The faces of the politicians were filled with fear.

They could only think about doing one thing.

“We’ll return it all!”

“We’ll gather all our assets to return your money…  No, we’ll return it with interest.!”

“What?  Do you think I’ll trust your forked tongue?  I want you to give me compensation for damages!”

“Kuh-huh-uhk!”

Lee Gun was ruthless as he let his fists fly.

The politicians, who had sold him out, turned into dust under his fists.

“P…Please forgive…  Kuhk!!”

Choi Sunghyuk froze in place when he witnessed Lee Gun act without hesitation.

‘He is completely nuts.’

It was clear that Lee Gun didn’t care about reporters, who had shown up in droves.

* * *

< High-ranking officers of the Gemini temple embezzled Lee Gun’s tribute. “We apologize.  We will return it as soon as possible.”>

The world was shocked for various reasons.

The person, who had put the world into a state of shock, was calm.

“Alright.  I found the item that I had to find.”

He was at a brunch cafe nearby.

Lee Gun was happy as he looked at the box that he had taken from the official who was in charge of his assets.

The storage box contained some old comic books, his ID & a key to a safebox.

‘The important items should still be in my safe.’

Chun Yooha absent-mindedly looked at her uncle.

Lee Gun was amazing.  He was able to recover the entirety of his wealth, and he had received compensation for damages from Japan.

However, Lee Gun acted as if it was no big deal.  Lee Gun opened the menu.

“Your uncle is buying dinner.  What do you like, Sungjae?”

“Ah.  I like everything except hamburgers.”

A high schooler hated hamburgers?

He wanted to say something, but he just dropped the subject.

“Alright.  I’ll order a pepperoni pizza for Sungjae…  What do you want to eat, Yooha?”

“You, uncle.”

“…kuhk!  Cough!”

Lee Gun, who was drinking water, almost died as the water went down the wrong pipe.

“Yooha.  You…!”

“Ah ah.  That’s not what I meant!  I mean uncle should order what you like!”

It was very rare for Lee Gun to be flustered.  He inwardly let out a deep sigh of relief.

Soon, Chun Yooha asked a question in a worried tone.

It was about the item that Lee Gun had to find.

“The Gemini Saint is missing.  What should we do?  They said the item that you are looking for is with the Gemini Saint….”

At her words, Lee Gun turned to look at Chun Sungjae.

He had given a different task for Sungjae to complete.

“Ah.  I worked with noona to find the location of the Gemini Saint.  However, something is weird..”

“Weird?”

“Yes.  Her body is in Japan, but her soul was located in Korea.”

Chun Sungjae gulped.

“Uncle.  This might be really dangerous.  She might be secretly gunning for you in Korea….”

“No.  I don’t think so.”

“!”

Lee Gun was quite intrigued by this development.

The fact that the Gemini Saint wasn’t making an appearance meant that there was a high probability that she was stuck somewhere.

He was more sure of his conjecture when he saw how her subordinates acted at Cheongwadae.

On the other hand, Chun Sungjae was taken aback by his words.

“She is stuck?  Where would she…”

It happened at that moment.

Lee Gun stood up from his seat as if he had an idea.

“Sungjae.”

“Yes?”

“Let’s go to your house for a bit.”

“What?”
