At that time, the chairman’s office at Haeguneul headquarters in Busan.

[Mr. Choi. I am very disappointed.]

Beyond the monitor where the video call is taking place, a red-haired woman in a red dress is glaring at Chairman Choi Ho-jeong with an annoyed face.

[Are you planning to ruin my routine?]

Routine.

It is important for athletes, but it is even more important for people with S-level abilities.

[If my routine is broken, I won’t be able to properly prepare for the World Cup. Ah, what are you going to do if you go on a rampage in Korea and end up becoming a devil?]

“…….”

This is a ridiculous threat.

It is said that people with superpowers can turn into devils over the slightest thing, but for those with superpowers to mention it themselves and ask if they will turn them into devils, it is a threat from the person with superpowers.

The threat is being made by a woman who is only over 20 years old to an old man over 60 years old.

Although the situation clearly violates the three principles, the old man is the ‘seller’ and the woman is the ‘buyer’.

According to the contract, the woman is the superior.

“No, Lady Bathory. There will be no problem in supplying goods.”

[Can I trust it?]

“Of course. As Chairman, I promise you this. The blood I will send you this time will be very special blood.”

[Special blood? What is it?]

“With close cooperation from the Red Cross, we obtained very special blood.”

No one knows whether it is truly close cooperation, or whether there is a difference between the quantity written in the ledger and the actual quantity.

Even those who know don’t know.

“Do you know that? High school students in Korea are kids who will do anything if it helps their high school grades and college entrance exams.”

[oh.]

“Send a blood donation truck to donate blood, give points for volunteer work, and…”

[So, will you send me the blood of high school girls now? The thing I only heard about…]

The woman licked her lips with sparkling red eyes.

[I guess I should save it. Hehe, these days, there are a lot of women in Europe who are horny and trying to find something to do with Korean men, so it’s not easy to find a pure woman.]

“……There is no guarantee. Please make allowances.”

[Hehe, okay. They send us things that are hard to find, so we have to take that into account. but.]

Bathory, the woman smiling brightly, reached out to the screen with a straight face.

[If there is a rumor going around that this Bathory is involved in illegal blood trafficking, I won’t know if something happens at the Sunshade branch in this country.]

“…I will be careful.”

Beep beep.

The video call has ended.

“…hu.”

Chairman Choi Ho-jeong closed his eyes and sat down in his chair, and soon the LED fluorescent lights hanging on the ceiling of the conference room began to twinkle.

“At this age, I can’t believe I’m hearing threats from that young kid.”

The chairman gritted his teeth as he glanced at the middle-aged men in suits sitting in groups of twos and threes at the table in the chairman’s office.

“Why is it that none of those born in my cradle have the ability to take my place?”

“…….”

“How long are you going to humiliate your father, uncle, and grandfather by showing them off in front of people with special abilities? Rotten guys.”

They openly gnashed their teeth at the family and expressed their anger, but despite the chairman’s anger, they were unable to say anything.

“Friendship.”

“Yes, yes.”

The man called Woojung corrected his posture and lowered his head.

“If your younger brother is murdered, you take the box that was stuck in him.”

“Oh, I understand.”

“And….”

Chairman Choi Ho-jeong’s eyes turned towards the wall.

“You never know, so prepare yourself too.”

In the dark.

An unidentified person wearing a black trench coat and a fedora on his head nodded quietly.

“If anything goes wrong, I will cut off all of my business partners, and if they make a fuss, you go and take care of it. Do you understand?”

He had a white bandage on his face, sunglasses on, and simply nodded his head in silence.

“Whoever the other person is, you must inform them. In this country, no, in this land….”

Chairman Choi Ho-jeong clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

“Whoever touches the sun’s shade-”

* * *

‘Fuck it.’

I turned away from Choi Woo-sik.

The golden blade and tongs extending toward his pubic bone glowed with a colorful light and slowly moved forward.

“Well, what are you trying to do! Stop it!!”

“Nothing, it’s okay, it’s okay. It’s just cutting out a little bit of skin.”

Should I say that I am popping the gun?

Or should we say that the epidermis must be removed in order to remove the magic seal that has seeped under the dermis without damaging it?

It is a natural process to cut the skin to remove the fruit.

“Anesthesia is provided and there is no pain, so don’t worry. Got it?”

“Ugh, ugh!! Wow, crazy?! Save me!!”

“I’m not killing you. Are you saying you’re doing this to avoid killing me? Uh huh. What did you say to people when you had plastic surgery? I told you to stay still and that it didn’t hurt, right?”

“Ugh, wow!!”

Choi Woo-sik struggled and twisted his body, but he could not move anywhere.

You’re not just tied to a chair.

The magic power and the layer of air are pressing down on Choi Woo-sik’s body.

“Well, what are you trying to do! it’s crazy?! Are you crazy? How can you try to cut off a living person!”

“Because he’s a villain?”

“Ugh!!”

The only thing that can move is the upper part of the neck, and even that is only free enough to talk or scream.

“It’s okay. I will leave a pattern full of patriotism so that others will not be embarrassed when they see the torn area.”

Hyun Se-rin laughed lowly as she saw Choi Woo-sik glowing with tears streaming down his face.

Although she was not being tortured, the sight of her was like real torture and cutting off raw flesh.

‘That’s true, but.’

It is true that the raw flesh is cut out.

However, that is only a process to remove the Seal of the Sunshade – the ‘survival confirmation device’.

There is no pain.

All that Choi Woo-shik screams in fear is that the blade will fall 5cm below.

“What did you say, should I put a kawaii star on it?”

“…First, insert the extracted seal into the mana gold.”

I pointed to the faintly sparkling sunshade seal, and Hyun Se-rin immediately changed her expression and moved her hand.

Thump, thud, thud.

Cut, split, pull out.

Hyeon Se-rin’s golden tongs pulled out a long ‘line’ from Choi Woo-sik’s body.

Cracking.

Sun twisted his body wildly like a living thing.

Although it is not a living thing but a ‘superpower’, it started to emit light as if sending a signal when it was separated from its original body.

“Ah. Hehehe, I almost missed it.”

Weeeeing.

Hyun Se-rin cut the golden tongs with a knife and used magic to create a green sphere in the air.

Hehehe.

Green wind barrier.

In the barrier that blocks the magic from the outside, the line of mana that was the seal of the sunshade scanned the surroundings, hesitated, and then seeped into the cut pieces of golden pincers.

Slur.

The sunshade’s seal, which wrapped itself around the tongs, slowly disappeared into the tongs, and the same pattern as the shape in which the seal wrapped around the tongs was engraved on the tongs.

“…hu.”

The surgery is over.

Rather than surgery, it is a process of fixing the seal on Choi Woo-sik’s body to Managold.

Blood does not flow.

Even if the flesh was cut out, the cross section was covered with a shield of mana, and only the part containing this ability was extracted from the cut gap.

“Huh, huh, huh…”

But what about the position of the person who directly suffers it?

A living hell itself.

A blade was dancing, lightly cutting away flesh, just 1cm above the cradle, which was more terrible than the fear of death and was more precious than anything else to a man.

“Huh oh….”

What could be more terrifying than this?

“Choi Woo-sik.”

I lightly pointed to his seal, ‘Survival Signal’, which was trapped in the green wind barrier.

“Haeshauneun is not an idiot either, so I will weigh it. Before this explodes and the entire Haesha Plastic Surgery Clinic burns down, they will bring in another doctor. Because you are just a part.”

“Heo-eok, heo-eok, heo-eok….”

“Threats don’t work. It’s your last chance. Will you expose the truth, or will this be the starting point of Sunshade’s destruction?”

“Hehe, hehe…. What? Starting point…? Ha, haha…”

Tears flowed from Choi Woo-sik’s eyes, and he looked up at me with eyes full of hatred.

“Fuck you.”

“…Um.”

Choi Woo-sik gave up declaring his conscience.

“If you asked me to do that, you should do it.”

“……What?”

“I am a person who destroys the cradles of people with special abilities, and I cannot use my hands against people who do not have special abilities.”

I pulled Hyun Se-rin’s shoulder, walked to the front of the interrogation room, and opened the door.

“So we invited an expert here.”

“…… Of, sa?”

“He started a business but failed due to the truth sent from Sunshade, so he opened a small hospital in a local area.”

“……After.”

The doctor placed something wrapped in a white cloth on the table and slightly bowed his head towards us.

“For a world where everything is ruled by association.”

“Thank you very much. ‘Congressman’.”

“Of course. For today….”

Rattling.

” has changed the long needle.”

What is medicine?

“Sunshade, I will dry up the seeds of the Choi family.”

Depending on how technology is used, it can save people or kill them.

Although they are not people with supernormal abilities, ordinary humans can also no longer create future possibilities if the cradle is destroyed.

“Ugh, ugh!! What did I do wrong!! Rather, kill me! You dirty bastards!!”

“If you were going to ask me to kill you, why didn’t you do something bad enough to kill me? Even if I save him, he’s still making noise.”

If you did something bad enough to warrant death, there was no way to save your life.

“Ugh, wow!!”

Sigh.

I lightly ignored the screams and closed the door.

“Huh? Are you done?”

Outside the door.

“You worked hard. Would you like one?”

Fuuuk.

“Ang.”

Hye-ra Yoon stuck a long toothpick into the takoyaki box in her hand and handed it to me.

“…….”
