“It’s annoying… It’s hard outside the house….”

“Liliana, you can’t do that. If you stay at home, you’ll get fat, right?”

“I’m not like that because I’m a succubus. Ask Scout.”

“Uhm….”

Nam Da-eun continued to worry as she watched Rebecca and Liliana chatting casually.

In front of me, I saw Irene being restrained.

… Is this really okay?

Of course, resolving Ho-yeon Lee’s concerns is the most important thing, but kidnapping is a bad thing.

This was especially true for Nam Da-eun, whose younger brother had been kidnapped.

‘As expected, saying let’s quit now… No, but if Hoyeon’s business is at stake, what can we do? Ha, but something like this… .”

While Nam Da-eun was deep in thought, Scarlett tied Irene’s limbs tightly.

“I can’t stay on the streets forever, so let’s take him home first.”

“Eupeup. Eeup!!!”

“Stay still, Irene.”

Scarlett headed home with a rebellious Irene by her side.

Irene tried to hold on, but the tightly bound magic rope suppressed her magic power.

‘Are you trying to torture me?’

Irene bit her lip as she watched Scarlett carrying her and moving somewhere.

I never imagined that something like this would happen to Lee Ho-yeon’s lovers, but now that it has happened, I have to be prepared.

I am the first team leader of the Iris Guild.

Preparations for torture and brainwashing have already been completed.

Even if something goes wrong with yourself, Sebas Chan or the Korean branch manager. And Ellis will notice.

What is questionable is that Scarlett, who could not have been unaware of this, was the main culprit of the kidnapping and that she had no hostility despite using such coercive means.

Anyway, kidnapping yourself means that you have a strong will to achieve your goal.

Irene braced herself for what was to come.

… And he tilted his head as he saw Scarlett entering the house next door.

‘… … ‘Why are you going in here?’

This is Lee Ho-yeon’s house.

Are they coming in and out of Lee Ho-yeon’s house freely because they are lovers?

However, neither I nor I have ever seen Ellis go to Ho-yeon Lee’s house.

Moreover, from Irene’s sharp perspective, the gait of the women entering the house was very familiar.

It was as if he had lived in this house for a long time.

‘Could it be these women who pretended to be popular in an empty house?’

While Lee Ho-yeon was in the U.S., there were people at her house, which was obviously empty.

If those popular people are these women…

‘That crazy guy. Are you living with four women?’

Does this make sense?

No matter how much of a playboy he is, he has four women at home. Besides, it’s a relationship that everyone approves of.

… For Ellis’s sake, it might be right to stay away from Lee Ho-yeon.

‘But if Lee Ho-yeon becomes distant from Ellis, won’t I also become distant? That’s a little… .’

“Ugh.”

dump-

Irene forgot the situation and was worried for a moment, but soon felt her body floating.

This is because Scarlett, who came home, threw Irene into the living room.

“Don’t worry, Irene. To be honest, I won’t do anything bad.”

“Eup-eup. Eup….”

Irene, who felt something strange, looked clearly at Scarlett’s face.

‘As expected, something is strange.’

Although Irene thought about torture, she did not feel any hostility towards them even after entering the house.

Scarlett was hiding her expression, and curiosity and concern could be felt in the eyes of the three people standing behind her.

Was the method too extreme and was it simply a need for information?

“Scout, what are you going to do? Should I charm you?”

“I also have a knack for torture. My past before I met my baby’s father was quite colorful.”

“Rebecca, please don’t do anything too harsh….”

“Hmm, really? Torture might not be good for prenatal education.”

Irene, who heard the creepy conversation, tried to withdraw her thoughts, but felt doubtful about the next words.

“Don’t worry, Miss Da-eun. I’ll just get your cooperation and not do anything strange.”

“Is that so…?”

Nam Da-eun felt a little relieved. As expected, it didn’t seem like Scarlett would do anything bad.

Liliana, who was watching the situation, came up with a good idea and immediately said it out loud.

“Or you can use your tail like you did with Scout. This works great.”

“What does it mean to use your tail on Miss Scarlett?”

“Aha. You don’t know much about Rebecca, do you? That was the day I first met Scout…”

“Liliana… you must not say that.”

“Scout, are you jealous? I understand how you feel, but I need to get information. You brought me here at best.”

“It’s not like that, because if you touch Irene, Hoyeon Lee might get sad.”

“Oh. Was this girl Lee Ho-yeon’s girlfriend? Come to think of it, she was the same girl I saw last time.”

“Hmm. He also worked on Operation Centaur with me.”

Irene quietly listened to the conversation and understood the unfolding situation.

These women are Lee Ho-yeon’s lovers, and they seem to know that they have a close relationship with Lee Ho-yeon.

‘What on earth are you planning?’

Seeing him thinking about Lee Ho-yeon even though he needed information, it seemed like his affection for Lee Ho-yeon was enormous.

Then what brought you here?

Talk. Talk.

At that time, Scarlett, who was squatting in front of Irene, poked Irene’s face.

She looked down at Irene and made a sad expression.

“Now that I think about it, when I was at the Iris Guild, Team Leader 1 was really scary. How much he scolded me, a newbie….”

“Uuuuup! Uuuup!”

‘What bullshit… !’

Scarlett, who has been a member of the Iris Guild since she was young, can’t even remember when she was a new member.

Besides, he was also a member of the same guild at the time, so there was no way he could scold Scarlett.

Irene struggled in frustration, but soon stopped resisting.

You are at a disadvantage. I’m not trying to force you to open your mouth, but I’ll have to listen to you first.

You have to think about giving information later.

If it was a bad intention, I was going to do whatever it took to hide it.

“Eup. Eup.”

Scarlett, who was looking down at Irene, nodded with satisfaction.

Suddenly, the rebellious attitude disappeared.

I guess he understood his situation. As expected, Iris Guild’s Team Leader 1. know how things are working around.

This works well when experts have time to persuade each other one by one.

“I’m glad you understood the situation quickly, Irene.”

“Uuuu was himself me mee-jin-woo).

“Well, actually, I had no intention of doing something that bad from the beginning.”

“Scout, doesn’t that mean I can kidnap you?”

“I knew from the beginning that it wouldn’t work out well, so I needed a little push to let them know the importance of the work.”

“I see… that’s a good thing. I was worried that I might commit a crime…”

“Don’t worry, Miss Da-eun. I also have a treat for my former coworkers.”

“….”

What kind of treatment is given to a kidnapping in front of one’s home?

Irene had a lot of complaints, but she stayed quiet for now.

Because I was curious about what he would say to me.

At that time, Irene felt the magic that had been blocking her mouth disappear.

“Irene. First of all, let me say I’m sorry.”

“… these crazy bitches.”

Irene let out a curse as soon as the mana covering her mouth disappeared.

As the leader of Team 1 of the Iris Guild, this was the first time he had been treated like this.

“He’s so foul-mouthed. I heard he needs education.”

“I’m going to tell you, so please bear with me. … Irene. I’m really sorry to bring you here and say something like this, but we need information.”

“Yes. Considering that you kidnapped me, it looks like you’re in a hurry. I can’t believe you, who were part of the Iris Guild, gave me a handshake like this. Did you get caught cheating on me?”

Irene did not lose confidence.

This is because he felt sincerity in their conversation and was confident that they would not touch him as long as he was in a deep relationship with Ho-yeon Lee.

It doesn’t matter if you touch it. I have an Iris guild.

“That’s not it. We are seeking information for Hoenn.”

“Then is there any reason for you to kidnap me?”

“If I want to let Irene know that my situation is urgent, that’s the best way.”

“….”

Even though Irene frowned, she couldn’t deny Scarlett’s words.

Scarlett probably knows better than anyone else that if something goes wrong with her, the Iris Guild and the ‘Emperor of the Night’ will step in.

Nevertheless, the fact that she did something like this was indirectly showing that she was in an urgent situation.

Scarlett untied the magic rope that bound Irene’s body and lowered her head.

“Irene. Let me ask you again. While investigating the abnormalities in the black pillar and the dungeon, did you notice anything strange about Hoenn? Small details are okay. This is an urgent matter that requires your help.”

“….”

“Looking at your expression, it looks like you’re thinking.”

“Yes, you are right. However, there was no need to force it like this. If you had calmly explained your questions and situation and asked for your cooperation, I would have also shared the information.”

“I’m sorry. We couldn’t share our information without knowing what information Irene knew. And I thought that if I showed my sincerity like this, Irene would also tell me the truth. It’s 1 o’clock and we don’t have time to flip each other’s cards. Because there isn’t one.”

Irene sighed deeply. Scarlett had a good grasp of her personality.

Perhaps, if the situation had been explained slowly, Irene would have dragged out the negotiation as much as possible by comparing the information Scarlett said with the information she knew.

Hiding one’s cards is an unavoidable habit for the daughter of an information guild.

“Ha… It’s annoying that I’m from the same guild as you.”

What were you going to do if you didn’t have the information you needed?

Did they kidnap you because they were convinced that there was something important after a brief conversation?

In that case, I would like to applaud Scarlett’s abilities.

Irene thought for a moment and then opened her mouth.

“… You just seemed in a bad mood, was it really that urgent?”

“It’s still a sign. But you should always prepare for the worst.”

“Isn’t it the worst thing that I feel bad because of the kidnapping?”

“Now is not the time to discuss such matters. And I did not cause any harm to Irene.”

Yeah, it’s definitely important enough for Scarlett to kidnap him.

If it’s useless, it’s not too late to get angry.

“I’ll talk. Instead, after listening to me, share the information you know.”

“Yes. I promise.”

Irene continued speaking slowly.

Black pillars and dungeon anomalies.

Hoyeon Lee was strangely obsessed with those two.

I dug deeper than most scholars and researched, and requested Irene every time a related paper was published.

Irene explained Hoyeon Lee’s strange interest, and Rebecca nodded after hearing the explanation.

“The strange phenomenon in the dungeon called the Black Pillar… I knew that the baby’s father was interested in that.”

“Irene, was there anything else suspicious?”

“There’s one more.”

There was one more thing that bothered Irene.

This was also a big reason why she was suspicious of Lee Ho-yeon.

“When an abnormality occurred in the dungeon at the academy… I was told to announce it right away.”

“… What does that mean? Announce it right away.”

“It means that we dispatched an investigation team faster than anyone else and demanded that an abnormal phenomenon be announced sooner than anyone else.”

“Hmm… the baby’s father often says strange things. I’m not sure about that.”

“No, that’s not it. The atmosphere was different. If I had to put it that way… I felt certain that an abnormal phenomenon dungeon would soon appear around the academy. That’s right. When the black pillar appeared, the first one to tell me was Lee Ho-yeon. I discovered it while taking a walk. “I said I did, but taking a walk in a closed park is strange to anyone.”

“Black pillar….”

Scarlett was troubled after hearing Irene’s words.

Several circumstances indicated that Lee Ho-yeon was planning a big incident.

However, the motive was unknown.

Nam Da-eun, who was quietly listening to the conversation, organized her thoughts in her own way.

“I knew it would come out…? So is Hoyeon planning to commit a terrorist attack?”

“Are you planning on dealing with everyone in the world except your women?”

“Liliana. Hoenn can’t do that.”

“…Are you trying to commit terrorism?” “I asked you that. If you were my viewer, I would have kicked you out.”

Meanwhile, Liliana didn’t think much about it.

I originally didn’t understand Lee Ho-yeon’s actions. Just looking at the sexual desire that seemed to flow from the blood of an incubus, it was clear that he was not an ordinary human being.

However, if it escapes from being human, we will have to catch it.

“The baby’s father isn’t a bad person. That’s probably not the case. But I’m sure there’s something in the fake dungeon magic circle.”

“Yes. It seems like they’re trying to do something to the Academy… I don’t know why. I’ll have to look into it further.”

“Like Liliana said, are you really dissatisfied?”

Scarlett and Rebecca continued to talk, worried about Hoyeon Lee, and Irene reacted to words she did not know.

A fake dungeon? And there was something that bothered me from earlier.

He had given the information, now it was his turn to receive it.

“Wait a minute. Now, I want you to explain. What is a fake dungeon? And just in case, is Lee Ho-yeon the baby’s father? Is he really a married man?”

“Of course. Of course, it’s still not planned, but I’m comfortable calling him baby daddy.”

“Yes, planned?”

“Let me explain that, Irene.”

Scarlett continued her explanation, looking at Irene with her eyes wide open.
