“Hoo… This is definitely…”

“···Interesting.”

How did this really happen?

“If you look at the condition, it clearly appears to be a dead cell, but how does it move? Did you do some variation of necromantic black magic?”

“No, it’s different from black magic. A while ago, when I was dealing with a group issue, I met a black magician who mainly focused on necromantic magic as a problem solver for the other side, and the magic they used seemed closer to puppetry using souls as thread.”

To talk about this, I had to go back to the past.

“Is that so?”

“Well, considering that it directly affects cells… it might be closer to the magic used by the Magic Tower of Life than to black magic.”

“Then maybe you mixed the two…”

“Nonsense. The ones who hate warlocks more than any other school are the wizards belonging to the Magic Tower of Life. How is that possible?”

“Well, their deep-rooted hatred of warlocks is quite famous.”

It must have been the moment when we were watching the ‘sample’ with Dangdeung and Dangsoso.

It seemed like someone was ringing the bell of the room we were in… and then the voice of a man calling Dangdeung “father” was heard through a speaker installed somewhere.

As soon as Dang Soso, who had received instructions from Dang Soso, opened the door to the laboratory, which had been tightly locked with various security devices, the three people who came barging inside, not to mention Dang Soso, had strangely similar faces to Dang Soso, not to mention Dang Soso.

Even if I exaggerated a little and introduced the relationship between Tang Soso and a father and daughter, people might not have any doubts, starting from a man with a strong-looking appearance who was quite old, to a man who seemed to be only three or four years older than Tang Soso.

The moment I saw the three people boasting different ages, I was instinctively convinced.

Those are her three older brothers that Tang Soso mentioned.

No, even if that were the case, how did these people, who were obviously so busy with group work, end up making such a fuss?

As soon as I became convinced of the other person’s identity, that was the first thought that came to mind, but regardless, the three people who naturally entered the room were busy doing their own thing.

It was literally an instant before their attention shifted to the samples placed on the steel table located in the center of the laboratory.

And the result was this situation.

The moment I checked it, I couldn’t help but feel curious. I wonder if interest in why something like this was there exploded with the appearance of the ‘sample’.

The first and second presumed people naturally came next to him and began to observe the zombie corpse I submitted.

The process of getting there was so natural that I couldn’t say anything.

It’s obvious that if I say anything here, I’ll just be a narrow-minded person, so why would I do that?

So, I chose to remain silent for now, but unlike the first and second children who were preoccupied with the zombie corpses, the supposed third child began to show unusual interest in me.

“So, Soso’s boyfriend?”

Maybe it’s because he’s one of the youngest among the men here, excluding me.

Needless to say, even when he is just quietly breathing, he spreads the aura of a conglomerate chairman in all directions. Unlike the first or second child, who gives off the feeling that he has gained some weight, the third child’s attitude is very gentle and free. It was wild.

From my perspective, I couldn’t help but feel more nervous.

That’s because, contrary to his seemingly light attitude, the eyes that were glimpsed through his narrow eyes were extremely cold.

What if the man in front of me right now acted with weight like the others?

I wouldn’t have been this wary of my opponent either.

Instead of being cautious, he would have acted wisely like he did to his party.

But is it normal for a person who doesn’t mind acting with a heavy attitude to act very casually?

It had to be 100% disguised.

And hiding one’s true self… was no different from saying that one wanted something.

‘The question is, what is that…?’

What is it?

What on earth does he want that makes him the only one who shows interest in me while the other two are preoccupied with zombie corpses?

It must have been at the moment when I was making my own guess.

“Oh, he must have been nervous because I suddenly spoke to him. If you don’t get stabbed, there’s no need to be so nervous.”

Tang So-so’s third brother, who made his already thin eyes even narrower with a grin, suddenly stretched out his hand towards me.

And then he says something like that…

What is this incredibly meaningful comment?

Are you looking at me by any chance?

Or… did you feel something from Dangsoso’s appearance?

I put those questions out of my mind and held the hand held out towards me.

“Oh, by the way, I’m late in introducing myself, but I said I was working for the party office.”

“···This is Soohyun Yoon.”

“Is that the end?”

“Yes?”

“Hmm, I see.”

I don’t know what that is.

Could it be because my self-introduction was poor?

As I was thinking that this might be the case, Tang Cheong-il, who was nodding to himself, soon naturally turned his words to somewhere else.

“By the way…”

“···?”

“My youngest son, who had no interest in men his whole life, suddenly told me he was getting married, so I was really curious about who he would be…”

Tang Cheong-il, who said exactly that, no more, no less, slowly trailed off and looked my face up and down.

“I was wondering if I had met someone by chance or something… but it turned out to be surprisingly ordinary?”

No, this bastard…?

You’re going to turn this on me right now, right?

I really didn’t do anything, I just answered questions, but was it because I was suddenly hit with a 1440 degree roundhouse kick?

It wasn’t the back of my head, but my mind that felt a little tingly.

Thanks to this, I was feeling a little bruised without realizing it… Is the observation time finally over?

“So, where did you pick this up from? Father?”

If you look at it at face value, it seems like a high probability, but the one who is presumed to be the eldest of the three brothers has finally taken his eyes off the observation equipment.

Then he said, ‘See these bastards? He asked the question to Dangdeung, who was standing there with an expression as if he was saying, ‘I’m not doing what I’m told to do…’

“You guys don’t know anything.”

“No, that…”

“Okay, I guess you said earlier that you had something to report to me? Cheongpung, tell me first.”

Ever since I heard that statement from the side, I thought it might have been an excuse made up to give them a reason to force their way into the headquarters, but sure enough, it turned out to be right.

A clumsy answer that did not match his weighty appearance flowed from the mouth of the person who was called Cheongpung by Tangdeung.

The behavior of the second child, named Cheongyang, who was later summoned, was not much different from the first.

“Tsk tsk tsk… If you had put him in that position to do something for the group, he would have worked hard and not done what he was told to do, but if he heard a rumor, he couldn’t stand it and started shaking his ass.”

“···.”

“If this is going to be the case, it would be better to pick one of the criminals out there and put him in that position. What was the reason for putting you guys in that position?”

If your mouth is open, try speaking.

The shoulders of the three brothers standing side by side in front of him slumped as if they had already been rebuked by the party’s rebuke, which was practically speaking like that.

A pretty guy looks pretty no matter what he does, and an ugly guy looks ugly no matter what he does, so he didn’t like it when his son showed his lack of spirit in such a situation.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, the strong sound of clicking one’s tongue echoed in the laboratory once again.

“Look at Soso here. Even though he is just a development team leader, he is not only in charge of the work of the Guryong City branch, but he has also brought unexpected benefits to the group in this way.”

“···.”

“The youngest also devotes himself to the group like this, but in name only he is the older brother… Tsk.”

Huh…?

If this happens… won’t it be a completely ugly situation…?

Why is there such a thing?

This means that I hate a sister-in-law who stops me more than a mother-in-law who hits me.

Of course, neither I nor Tang Soso have been saying anything since a while ago, let alone acting like sisters-in-law… but the human mind does not always work rationally.

So I was feeling a bit troubled inside…

“Wait a minute.”

Suddenly, Tang Soso intervened between the four of them.

And then-

“That means…you acknowledge our relationship, right?”

Isn’t that what you’re asking to Dangdeung, who still has an expression of anger on his face?

“That’s exactly what you meant.”

“···.”

“Father?”

No, it’s not this…?
