Aaaa

Sirens sound from speakers installed throughout the streets.

An alarm sounds that is different from what you usually hear, and is not an alarm of a villain attack.

earthquake.

Earthquakes that do not occur often in Jeju Island and are rarely felt in Korea are making loud noises here in Seogwipo.

The progress was a whopping 7.0.

It is not uncommon for buildings to have cracks and glass windows to be damaged.

[sister.]

[why?]

[Instead of running around, why not try clenching your fists in place?]

[why?]

Chaos jumped in place as if he was jumping rope and tilted his head towards me.

The vibration continued every time her feet landed on the floor.

If it is natural, then of course this earthquake is not a natural earthquake.

It is an earthquake caused by this ability that only resonates in Seogwipo due to the power of magical power.

[Is the way my magical power bag shakes so destructive? Are you doing this because you’re worried it might hurt?]

[no. I thought it would be cooler to just do it this way.]

[…It’s okay to criticize others for how they use their abilities.]

After stopping in place for a moment, Chaos began to alternately run left and right in place as if he were stepping on a stepper.

[The results are different, but the process of manifesting this ability is very different. Is this the method you saw in the archives somewhere? A person with seismometer skills just clenches his fist and shakes it?]

[It’s just a feeling.]

[That would be cool if a big muscular man did it, but I think this is more destructive.]

It was because he was running around in a place where no one could see, so other people couldn’t see him, but I, who was right next to him, felt a chill down my spine from the tremendous shaking just by looking at him.

[The human body shakes like this, so isn’t it natural for the ground to shake just as much? The greater the visual perception, the more the expression of this ability is maximized. Isn’t that what you taught me before?]

[That said, I didn’t ask you to make the ground shake like that. In the past… No, I wouldn’t do this in front of others anyway, so it doesn’t matter.]

Chaos is running around like a child causing noise between floors, but when others appear, they will cover up the protective layer of sand again and cause an earthquake in a different way.

[I know. Keep in mind that I’m only doing this in front of you. It looks good, right? Hehehe.]

[Natural shaking is better than that kind of shaking.]

[why? Would you like me to twerk in front of you? Not only do I have a lot of magical power, but I also have quite a few calyxes.]

Sigh.

Chaos slapped his own hand and patted his butt.

The vibration was smaller than the previous pounding, but aftershocks continued to occur.

[It’s smaller than Docheol.]

[What….]

Chaos just stopped moving.

Thanks to this, the earthquakes gradually began to subside, and even the aftershocks of the earthquake that shook Seogwipo subsided less than five seconds later.

[How can you say that?]

[I’m just telling the truth, but it doesn’t mean it will hurt, right? I didn’t say that Chaos was small, I just said that Docheol was the best in that regard.]

[Ugh, is it because she sits in the lab all the time?]

[The thing about India is that both Docheol and Chaos are the same. done. Concentrate again.]

You may have been shocked when the earthquake first occurred, but once the earthquake subsided, everyone would have already noticed.

Earthquake caused by this ability.

Those outside are confused by the earthquake, but those inside the auction house are probably more confused by what happened along with the earthquake.

[A surprise attack through an earthquake. And in the meantime, the Thunder Emperor explodes with a flash of light, temporarily blocking everyone’s vision.]

and.

[This is where the darkness of suspicion begins.]

-Ahh, the phoenix feather!!

It didn’t disappear.

only.

What was originally in the glass case just slipped to the side and spilled out.

* * *

“What! What’s going on!”

“Bombing?! Is this the work of a villain?!”

“Protect your feathers! Is there anything else to aim for besides feathers?”

There were various things he was aiming for, such as someone he needed revenge on, holding him hostage and demanding money, or Do Ji-hwan’s one night stand, but everyone’s eyes were focused on the glass where Phoenix’s feather was stored.

“Oh…!”

Was it shaken by an earthquake?

Or did someone touch it?

Even when the auction price exceeded 200 billion won and reached 300 billion won, the item that had been sitting still was not in its original place, but was placed to the side in the glass case.

“Stop moving!”

The sound of a lion’s roar echoed throughout the banquet hall.

In clear Korean, as if he had been practicing for this moment, his precise voice instantly suppressed the chaotic atmosphere.

“Anyone who moves from now on is a criminal!”

Everyone swallowed their saliva at Chairman Desmond’s roar.

Humans have something called intuition, and naturally, people think and act according to their intuition.

“Suddenly, an earthquake sounded, lights flashed, I closed my eyes for a moment, opened them, and the phoenix’s feathers moved. Has anyone seen it?”

Desmond spoke in a rather stiff and overbearing manner, but no one could complain.

“Has anyone seen it?!”

“Now, now, Chairman. Calm down…”

“Am I supposed to calm down now?!”

Desmond was furious and pounded his chest despite the association president’s intervention.

“In front of my eyes, someone with superpowers did something and touched the phoenix’s feathers, and I’m supposed to stay still?!”

“…Snow White. Would you please come up to the podium and check the magic barrier spread around the Phoenix Feather?”

The president of the association called the person with the most trustworthy ability, and Snow White approached the glass case with a stern expression.

“There is no problem with the case.”

“Sigh….”

“The glass case was shaken by the earthquake, so the feathers inside fell to the side. Because it was such a big earthquake. President of the association? The earthquake…”

“This is an ability. They say there was no shaking in Jeju City. He is capable of causing a local earthquake in Seogwipo alone.”

I don’t know who, but someone did something by shaking the ground.

No one knows what that something is yet, but there is nothing to know other than that the phoenix’s feathers have fallen.

“So, the likelihood that someone has done something strange to this product is extremely low…?”

Desmond’s voice gradually began to sound anxious.

Even when I was angry, it may actually have already been a sound full of anxiety.

“Yes. The thing you are worried about never happened. I promise.”

“Sigh….”

The phoenix’s feathers were replaced.

Someone tried to touch the phoenix’s feather while everyone’s vision was momentarily blocked by light.

“If it is said that someone did it with a purpose, they must have done something inside. Obviously…”

“Ah, over there!!”

Nadeshiko screamed and pointed to a place.

“Handwriting on the bald head!”

“!!”

The place Nadeshiko pointed to was the head of a man.

“Why, why…?”

“Hey, polite vice president! Head, head…!”

“What’s wrong with my head?!”

The hair of Jeong Jeong-han, vice president of Haeguneul Ilbo, the person who caught everyone’s attention, disappeared at some point.

His wig was lying on the floor, and blood was flowing from his shiny head.

It wasn’t just blood flowing, it was blood flowing from a burn that looked like something had been scorched by fire.

“Kwaaagh…!”

“I will treat you! Calm down!”

Baridegi Tairin approached and reached out to her head with magical energy, but even though the wound was healed, the scar strangely remained.

Among the red skin that appears to have been scorched by the sun, the letters were revealed only after the burns had healed.

“Chinese characters…?”

Death, death.

Chinese characters that look somewhat complicated.

Foreigners cannot understand it at all, but those who have been educated in Chinese characters can fully understand the meaning of the word because they have seen it somewhere.

“Goroshi…?”

In particular, everyone could understand the feeling that the word ‘kill’ gave, even if they did not know anything else.

“Killing the shadow…?”

Just two words.

But the meaning of those words was a clear warning and threat.

“Protect the Chairman!!”

Association agents near Association President Choi Ho-jeong jumped in and formed a circle around Choi Ho-jeong.

“Oh, no. I…!”

Suddenly, the wig came off and the head was exposed, and there was no one around to protect the person who had even had a tattoo on the head.

“Chairman!”

“…don’t worry. You are threatening me based on you. To be exact, it would be a threat to our group.”

Chairman Choi Ho-jeong pushed away the agents guarding him with a nonchalant expression and came forward and held up a picket.

“Continue the auction. Was it 300 billion earlier? In that case, I would call 3,300.”

“Chairman, still…”

“I don’t know who did this and for what reason, but if that’s the case, I guess I’ll have to buy more Phoenix Feathers.”

The chairman spread his arms and smiled at everyone.

“Is there anyone here who has a stronger reason to buy this than me right now?”

* * *

[But is he definitely the chairman? They said they would continue the auction over there.]

[I was scared, that person.]

[huh?]

[I can feel my legs shaking through the floor.]

[ah.]

thank god.

Since the chairman of Sunshade said he was scared, I still feel like I hit him hard.

[Then, shall we give you an additional blow through public opinion?]

It’s not immediate, but it’s a blow that will scratch Choi Ho-jeong’s nerves over time.

[It’s Chairman Haeguneul’s own play.]

to be honest.

-Nonsense. Snow White, Baridegi, Thunder Emperor, Firefox, Nadeshiko, Red Rider… In addition, he carved letters with a knife and disappeared during the earthquake without being caught by anyone in the presence of numerous other S-class members?

In a place where there were as many as four Korean S-class people, an assassin who was so ‘windy’ that he could carve Chinese characters in less than a second in a place where there were a lot of S-class talented people, took off his wig, and wrote on it with a knife.

-Is that possible?

It’s more ‘common sense’ to write a threat to kill Hae-Geun under the wig in advance, then take off the wig at the right time and put on a third-rate play.

-If it’s the sun’s rays, that’s probably enough.

And what adds persuasiveness to it is not logic.

-Because it’s the shade of the sun.

It’s a prejudice.
