“My daughter, don’t stay there, come here… !”

The foreign woman who was waving her arms at Han Se-ra was speechless when she saw us next to her.

Maybe our clothes aren’t particularly friendly or anything like that. It’s quite covered in zombie blood, so it’s pretty wet.

“…What are you? Why are you next to our Sarah?”

A tough-looking man glares at me with angry eyes. The form in which he is wearing a suit makes him feel closer to a gangster than an intelligent one.

The big guys in the back also look like they have a fistful of fists, so there’s a high probability that they look like they’re the type of people who eat their food by punching. In our dimension, these people haven’t been able to walk around the outside with pride like this since the creation of hunters.

Eat…

It makes me laugh because it’s similar rather than unpleasant.

“You bastard! How dare you raise the corner of your mouth when the boss speaks!”

As if he didn’t like my actions, one of the kkakdugi standing behind me frowned even more and screamed loudly. What the hell are you going to do if zombies come out like that?

At a time when I felt like I needed to pay a little attention,

“Smack your stomach with raw fish… Billion!”

Pow!

The man who asked me about my relationship with Se-ra Han hit his snout with his fist and covered his mouth.

“Bitch, you’re noisy. If some zombies come out, will you take responsibility? Should I just throw you as food and kill you in the meantime? Raise your level too? Huh?”

“Sorry, big brother!”

“It’s the president, you bastard! When will I get the title of CEO, this idiot!”

Pow! Pow!

While the man restrains his subordinate, he does not take his eyes off me.

Still, do you have any sense of it?

A foreign woman who was a little far away from the leader of the gang who continued to hit the back of the head of the screaming man steps forward.

She resembles Han Se-ra with blue eyes. And although she is definitely two or three levels less pretty than Han Sera, she has a look that was often called pretty when she was young. Do you feel like you can be as good as Ga-ryeong Kim next to you?

“I’m sorry for speaking so harshly to you on our first meeting, hoho. Still, given the circumstances, I was curious that my precious daughter was there, so I tried to ask.”

“What is your relationship with Se-ra Han?”

“I’m mom. The person over there is Sarah’s father.”

So, it’s about family.

… Something fits but doesn’t fit well.

Based on her appearance, it would be completely understandable to say that she and Han Se-ra are family.

But why?

Something feels very uncomfortable.

I glanced at Han Sera next to me.

“……”

She, who had been quite lively until just now, looks at the ground without making eye contact with anyone.

It’s a bit too awkward to be considered a touching scene of a reunion with family in the midst of the despair of the apocalypse.

And it was difficult to see this as intentional acting.

Well, I really can’t see the so-called actor acting.

“Sera Han.”

“…Yes.”

“Is what he said right?”

“…That’s right. That person is my mother, and the person over there is my father.”

“My name is Kaley Bright. My name is Han Dong-seok.”

A woman who smiles and greets me with a friendly face seems to be expressing gratitude on the outside.

But why?

To me, it feels like this woman is a better actor than actress Han Sera.

“I didn’t know that you were the parents of famous actress Han Se-ra. It’s an honor to meet you.”

“Oh my, I did appear on variety shows a few times as Sarah’s mother. When I was young, I worked as an actor in a small way. I think I need to try harder.”

“I don’t watch TV much, haha.”

“I see. Anyway, thank you for protecting ‘our’ Sarah. Please make sure to repay me once this strange situation is over.”

Look at this?

Are you going to secretly make Han Se-ra a member of your company and repay her later? And they even made it possible for you to get away with it if you don’t answer properly?

The smile on his face while manipulating doesn’t seem to be something he has done once or twice. I’m sure a lot of men felt this way. Plus a few innocent girls.

I knew I wasn’t a fool, but I shouldn’t have stayed still.

“Yes, let’s exclude the amount that Sera Han played on the team and include the part where I taught her. I had a hard time teaching.”

“…Oh my. Please be careful, that… ”

“My name is Park Hyeon-seong.”

“Ah, yes, Hyunseong. Anyway, please don’t be too attached to Sarah or anything like that. It would be a big deal if there were any strange rumors going around about an actress who was at the peak of her popularity. Is it possible to file a claim for damages worth tens of billions of won?

What the hell. Now even threats.

Mentioning specific figures and even talking about compensation for damages that no ordinary person could possibly afford, seems to be absolutely not the attitude one should have towards the benefactor who saved his daughter.

I definitely think there is something between me and Han Se-ra…

“…Hey there, Mr. Hyunseong.”

“Yes, Mr. Han Dong-seok.”

“…On the way there, there were only zombie corpses around here. Do you know who did that?”

The gangster leader, Han Se-ra’s father, who kept glaring at me, seemed to find it hard to believe, but showed an attitude as if he already knew the answer with his eyes.

If you know, you should bow down, why are you stretching out like that?

“Yes, that’s right. We took care of all the zombies around here.”

“…It’s hard to believe. We all just managed to get to safety after taking out the zombies in our respective complexes. With only four people… ”

“We took care of all the zombies in our complex and even the zombies in this commercial building. You are free to believe or not, but don’t even think about spooning.”

“No, what… !! this… !”

The gang leader, who has hit the nail on the head, blushes and grits his teeth. But what can I do?

This guy will be in quite a bit of trouble.

Han Sera hostage… It doesn’t seem like he’s thinking that. However, it doesn’t seem like they think of it as an enemy.

However, we are clearly on guard against those of us who claim to have taken care of all the zombies.

The traces of zombies on us and my appearance must be unusual to lower the level of suspicion. I also think that if I were a good-looking boy or something, it would have been easier to attract women. Not a 186 cm tall muscular man.

But it’s more convenient to look like this when dealing with such unpleasant things.

The foreign woman’s face froze for a moment and then, wearing a smiling mask, attempted to resume conversation with me.

But why me?

These types should not be given time to think. The best thing to do is to use your superiority in strength to press down.

“Hey, Hyunseong. I think there is some misunderstanding… ”

“I said it was a misunderstanding, so I’ll say it again. This commercial building was secured by our party in Building 702. I have all the keys and all the windows are locked. When you go, this place will be locked. Since it has a triple lock, it will take some time to break it. If you play tricks, this side will be able to notice.”

“You fucking bastard! What would you do if you found out! What can you do!”

The gangster kid who got punched in the mouth starts screaming again. This time, the gang leader doesn’t stop him. Clear, unspoken permission.

What can I do?

Grumbling!!

“!!!”

“Take off your head and skin… uh… Uh… ”

“This is what I want to do.”

I place the flame spirit in my hand and grow the flame with my will.

And before I knew it, the fireball burning above my hand had grown to the size of a soccer ball and was shining brightly. Wow, this is really hot.

Grumbling!!

As the flame burning in my hand disappeared, only silence remained, which was not appropriate for a place where many people had gathered.

But their surprised expressions still remained.

“I don’t know, but even if their level is high, it’s probably a lot lower than mine. I’m currently level 10.”

“Level 10… !”

“This is crazy! This is only 2 levels… Breathe… !”

Although there was no status window, I put pressure on them with a specific number of level 10.

I don’t really have a level or anything like that, but I’ve killed more than 10 times as many zombies as Han Sera, who is level 5, so it would be roughly accurate to say that I’m at that level.

Even if I bring in other level 10 people, I am confident that I will not lose.

The tension in the opposing camp becomes even stronger after hearing my fake level.

The guys who had been messing with them just a moment ago due to their numerical superiority are now crouching down in fear, with their arms full of strength and their weapons clenched.

There may also be an impact from the military demonstration I held earlier.

“…Hey, Hyunseong. Let’s say it in our language. What we didn’t say was spoon-feeding… ”

“No matter what, I have no intention of sharing this material. If it disappears, I plan to hold them responsible.”

“Hey. Isn’t that person the owner of this mall? You’re probably just an apartment dweller at most, so are you planning on stealing?”

“If there is an owner, we can return it later and pay for what we used properly after the incident is over. Just like the foreign lady over there did earlier when she told me about compensation.”

Crackling… !

A slight sound of teeth grinding is heard.

I wonder if someone will get stabbed in various ways. It’s none of my business what’s the reason.

“Sera! Are you thinking of putting up with this now? Mom and Dad are being treated like this!”

“Han Sera! Come here right away! Dad won’t see you hanging out with a scoundrel like that!”

The two men and women, who realized that nothing worked against me, began to attack Se-ra Han.

flinch!

A clearly surprised reaction was seen from Sera Han.

This was the first reaction from Han Se-ra, who had been quiet as if dead.

Only an idiot who couldn’t read the atmosphere would know that it was out of fear.

“Sera Han.”

“……”

“You don’t have to answer.”

I’m not trying to ask something grand.

But it’s important.

“Please choose yourself. Would you like to stay here or go over there?”

“……”

“It may be hard to believe, but I promise that I will never harm you. Due to the circumstances, there are some things that should not harm Se-ra Han. It may be hard to believe that I’m saying this now, but.”

“……”

She must choose for herself.

I am not an idiot who would entrust my back to an idiot who cannot even choose his own path.

I’ve seen those kind of kites stab people in the back countless times while working in the hunter industry.

And in my fucking life too.

Sera Han remained silent for a moment.

And after a moment of silence,

He looked up at me with his blue eyes that seemed to immerse me and said.
