“What’s that sound? Can’t you hear me, noona?”

“Yeah… It sounds like a person’s voice…?”

Soeun was hugging her sister who could now see.

She touched and smelled every inch of her body, pressing against her bare skin.

Especially by making her lie down, Soeun pressed his nose against his sister’s anus and smelled it.

The scent was so addictive that it calmed his complicated mind.

He was secretly afraid that his sister might suddenly use her petrification ability with force.

However, she was not rebellious as he had thought.

Instead, she seemed grateful and embarrassed towards him.

So they were alone in a room with no other females. They spent intimate time together, breastfeeding and kissing.

But they were startled by screams and howls coming from outside.

“Father. It seems like enemies have invaded.”

“What? Let’s go.”

“But it seems like it’s already over.”

Agneya entered the room, smiling with his teeth bared.

They quickly dressed and went outside with Agneya. All the soldiers were already outside, looking at something.

There were numerous corpses piled up at the entrance to the temple. Blood was flowing down the hill from the bodies.

“What on earth has happened?”

“Hehehe.”

Samayel, who approached me, seemed pleased.

Blood was dripping from the double-edged sword he held. Not only that, but blood was also flowing from the swords of the soldiers standing on either side of Samayel.

“Oh, are these the Dove Juniors? Did you guys fight too?”

The Dove Juniors, who looked like kindergartners, nodded and laughed.

These were the enhanced soldiers born from Dove.

It was easy to distinguish them at a glance because geometric tattoos were engraved only on their arms.

They were noticeably different from regular soldiers as their swift movements with the sword were almost invisible.

I learned that the standard for dividing the strength of goblins was having such geometric shapes tattooed on their bodies.

“How many of them invaded?”

I surveyed the scene of devastation; it was a massacre. Arms or ankles were severed, and they lay dead.

“G-gulp, save us…”

In the middle of the corpse pile, there was a man with only his head sticking out, alive. He was bleeding from his mouth, crying for help.

“Um, who are you people?”

“W-we have daughters at home. Please save us! W-we’ll repay you…! Gulp!”

The soldiers were instructed to pull the man out of the corpse pile.

Luckily, his limbs were intact.

Instead, he was bleeding profusely.

Interestingly, not only the man but all the corpses had tattoos on their chests or wrists.

It was a tattoo of a snake with two heads.

“Where are you from? Which guild do you belong to?”

“W-w-we’re from here… Gulp. It’s our guild… The ones in charge lost contact…”

“What’s the name of the guild?”

“G-Golden Guardians… P-please… help me with the wound…”

It became more troublesome than I had expected.

These were not just gangsters but members of a guild. The man told me everything without me even asking.

There were many tangled connections.

They were not a guild involved in legitimate activities.

From drugs to prostitution, they were nothing short of thugs.

“I see. You mentioned you have a daughter, right? What’s the contact information?”

“W-why do you need the contact information…?”

“So we can transfer you to the hospital. You must need a guardian, right?”

“Ah. Gulp. It’s saved on my phone… Ugh. Please call an ambulance quickly!”

Trembling, the man took out his phone from his pocket and handed it to me.

Using iris recognition, I unlocked the phone by scanning his face. I immediately registered my fingerprint and removed the existing unlocking method.

“Your daughter. What’s her name and age?”

“O-Oh Jieun… Gulp. Gulp. She’s twenty-one…”

“Okay. Thank you for your hard work. Rest well.”

Thunk.

Thud.

A knife pierced the man’s chest, and his heart was pulled out while still beating.

His heart began to be deliciously consumed by the samay.

Already running low on meat to feed the soldiers, a large amount of food came voluntarily.

All the soldiers gathered around, truly making it a party.

“How did you all manage to come here?”

Kim A-young was quite surprised to see those who had come since morning.

Members of the SRS Intelligence Agency and operatives, even her older sister.

They all came to the office where she worked and gathered in the conference room together.

“There is an urgent matter that needs to be reported to the chief. Let’s listen and discuss any questions you may have.”

The expression of the intelligence agent she had met before was not good.

Kim A-young had a hunch.

Even the police and her older sister had come in person.

To her workplace, no less.

This was seriously wrong if things went awry.

“It’s about the incident involving Kim Shin that you reported.”

“Yes. What happened? Have they found that man?”

“Well, two people were dispatched, right? One died, and the other is missing.”

Kim A-young felt a sinking feeling in her chest.

The situation, which seemed far from being resolved, was suffocating. It was clear that the man had gained power.

“Everything I’m about to tell you is confidential. Well, you probably know that already, but do not disclose this information anywhere.”

“Yes. Sir… What about Kim Shin?”

“We don’t know. Since the agents at the scene haven’t returned, how could we know?”

At the gesture of the intelligence agent, the police officer next to him activated the projector. Pictures appeared on the wall, sliding one after another.

“They arrived late and managed to take these photos. These are images from the scene. Villains living in that area keep destroying CCTV cameras, so this was the only way to confirm. Even sending drones didn’t work because they were systematically destroyed.”

In Kim A-young’s eyes, pictures of surrounding buildings reduced to rubble were visible.

There was a decapitated body on the road in front of the studio apartment where the man lived. Traces of something burnt to ashes were also visible.

Her brow furrowed at the grim pictures.

“Hyperiion, whom the chief wanted so much, was dispatched to the scene.”

“Oh, really?”

“Yes. An emergency call was made, and he received the signal just as he was finishing his mission and returning to Korea. He was supposed to be Grade 5, but he insisted on going himself.”

A smile crept onto Kim A-young’s lips.

“And it seems Hyperiion got injured in the battle there.”

“……….??”

“That’s all the information we have.”

Kim A-young, blinking rapidly, looked at her older sister and the police officers.

A superhero injured?

Her head began to spin.

“Hyperiion’s side contacted us saying he won’t be able to operate for a while. This is information even the SRS operatives don’t know. And it’s highly likely that the villains or some unknown force will target the chief.”

Kim A-young started to bow her head and sob.

At that moment, her older sister sitting beside her hugged her and patted her back.

“It’s okay. I’m here. That’s why I came.”

“Sis… Sniff. It’s because of me… People are dying because of me… Sniff.”

A woman wearing black horn-rimmed glasses.

Kim A-young’s older sister, Kim Lumi, continued to stroke her sister’s head. She had always worried about her younger sister due to her unique ability.

How difficult must it have been for her always brave sister to ask for help?

Kim Lumi held her sister tighter.

“Kim Chief, don’t worry. Your sister has agreed to help from her guild.”

Kim A-young, with widened eyes at the intelligence agent’s words, looked at her older sister.

Her older sister, Kim Lumi, was a member of the guild.

She was even a Vice Guild Master of Grade 5.

Since childhood, she had always been the support for her sister.

Hyperion is cool, but I respected and loved my older sister because she was a strong woman.

“Really? Are you going to help from Luna Guild?”

“Yeah. So I think it’s better for you to take a break for a while without crying.”

“Okay… Sorry, sister.”

Beep beep beep.

“What are you talking about, Ayoung?”

“Oh, sister! We have to run away! He’s the villain!”

Kim Ayoung, with tears falling from her eyes, immediately got up from her seat.

The entire alarm inside the city hall went off.

It wasn’t a fire alarm but an alarm signaling an emergency situation. The first thing you learn when you join the city hall is this alarm.

It is a predetermined signal of an emergency situation caused by a villain.

“Sister. That man… he’s here to kill me!”

“Shh. Come here. We don’t know who it is yet, right? And it’s dangerous to rush out. Aren’t there security guards?”

Kim Lumi held her sister’s hand and quickly took out her phone. She urgently requested someone over the phone.

“Yes, it’s me. Immediately mobilize all guild members near the city hall. It’s an emergency. Yes. Hurry!”

SRS information officers and police officers stood up from their seats.

“We will investigate and come back. It’s best for you two to stay here.”

“Yes. Information officer. Please take care.”

That’s how the police opened the door and went outside.

While Kim Lumi held her sister’s hand, a loud explosion followed by another one echoed inside the city hall.

Thud!

Clang! Clang clang!

Aaah!

Kyaa!

The screams of people from afar were incessant.

The vibrations in the building were so strong that it continued to shake.

The desperate cries of people did not subside.

“Oh, sister… I don’t think we should stay here. Let’s go, okay?”

“Shh… It seems like it’s nearby.”

As Kim Lumi stared outside the door, she hid her sister behind her.

The growing noise stopped in the adjacent office.

And then the screams of people were heard again.

[SRS! Stop right there! Aaah!]

“Information officer? Gah!”

Crash, thud

“Aaah! Help me, please!”

Those voices were undoubtedly the SRS police officers who were together just a moment ago. They too screamed for help.

“H-ha… haa… haa…”

When Kim Lumi turned around, she saw her sister kneeling down, trembling up to her knees.

Kim Ayoung, with unfocused eyes due to fear.

She hugged her sister’s head and comforted her.

Click clack. Click clack.

Knock knock.

Knock knock.

Knock knock.

In Kim Lumi’s eyes as she turned her head, she could see the doorknob shaking. The thoughtful police officers had locked the door and left.

After knocking and turning a few times, the noise soon subsided.

Thud.

Clang.

Clang-duduk.

Creaking.

However…

The hand that broke through the door tore apart the iron gate blocking the corridor and conference room.

In Kim Lumi’s eyes, Inyeong appeared.

He was a man wearing a black helmet and a red tracksuit. He looked over 2 meters tall with a strong-looking body. He carried a bag on his back.

Both of the man’s hands held a knife, with thick blood dripping from it.

Beside him stood a man wearing a mask.

“Wow. Found you. Ayoung’s sister is here, right?”

“Tsk. Don’t come any closer. You’ll die.”

“Who are you?”

The man in the mask glared fiercely at Kim Lumi.

“Sister… That man… That man is Kim Shin… Ugh, ugh… I’m dead now…”

The trembling voice of her sister came from behind.

The villain her sister feared so much.

That man had stormed into the city hall.

“I finally found you. I’ve come to take Ayoung’s sister.”

Kim Shin, without the mask, smiled broadly.
