The white-haired, middle-aged man sat comfortably on a chair and laughed.
"They got us this time."
They hadn't known how strong a novice was. Twenty trained men had gotten beaten, and the heavy artillery hadn't arrived in time.
"They dared to touch my prey on American soil!"
The middle-aged man touched his chin and said:
"So, what happened to his younger sibling?"
"That person has left already."
"Where did the person go? Do we know?"
"Not yet."
"Hhha! This is interesting."
They were beaten. They could guess who it had been, but they had no evidence. This had all happened on American soil, so the others must've been prepared.
"OK. I will not regret anything nor hold grudges," the man said and looked at a man standing behind him. "They've found someone who can teleport in South Korea?" he asked.
"Yes."
"I want to meet that person."
"I'll get everything ready.."
A little smile appeared on the man's lips.
On Thursday, after he got back from work, he got a call he couldn't refuse. It was Eunseo, so he went back to work to see her.
"Do you have time this evening?" She asked calmly.
"Yes."
"Let's go then."
He got in a car with her, and they went toward the Royal Hotel, the same place where he had dined with Doyeol, which made him nervous. However, he wasn't going to pick up the check, so he agreed.
It looked like Eunseo was a frequent guest at the hotel. She ordered first and then sat on her chair.
"Tomorrow, the film will be broadcast all over the world."
"At the same time?"
"It has to be during the world holiday, and it will be a special broadcast to increase its effectiveness."
"That's the power of the Robotics brand, I see."
"Robotics' power is well known throughout the world." She said and took out a tablet. "After the broadcast tomorrow, you will have five interviews scheduled for next Monday."
"I understand."
Junhyuk didn't ask why she didn't tell him all that during business hours. She wanted to buy him a nice meal.
"It's for the people who have been hurt, and this will be advertised," she continued.
"I hope it goes well."
"It will," she said, fixing her glasses. "The interviews will take place in one of our company's buildings, so don't worry."
The food came out, and Junhyuk ate his meal with Eunseo. She did not speak during the meal so that he could eat his food.
Doyeol didn't speak much either. It must be a family thing.
Junhyuk was working on his food when Eunseo pulled out a small box. He looked at her, and she touched her ear and said:
"When you pierce your ear, but don't wear anything, the hole closes."
"Ah!"
He touched his ear and looked at the small box.
"Can I open it?"
"You may."
She spoke without any emotion, and Junhyuk opened the box. Inside the box stood an earring made out of onyx and platinum. She got it from Tiffany, and it looked expensive.
"Thank you."
Presents were made to be accepted, and Junhyuk put it on. Eunseo looked at him once and concentrated on her food.
"It looks good on you."
Junhyuk smiled at her. She was feeling good, so that's all that mattered. Also, his ear had been healing because he had it pierced for the Beast King White Tiger's Canine, and had not yet bought an earring for it.
After the meal, Eunseo offered to take him home, but he refused.
After Eunseo left, Junhyuk touched his earring and looked up at the sky. In the center of Seoul, that night's sky looked very clear.
"I should go home," he told himself.
He was always careful on his way home. On the subway, Junhyuk looked around, but didn't find anything unusual.
After he got home, he checked the CCTV recordings, and there was nothing special. The CCTV cameras covered every angle of his house, but he found nothing out of the ordinary.
Junhyuk had already eaten, so he took a short shower and focused on his training. There was a bedroom and a living room. The house had a bed, a TV and a computer desk and nothing else.
He found an empty spot and focused on his training. Soon, he had lost track of time. He practiced with spatial relocation and the force field while swinging his swords.
He had trained for a while when he heard a noise outside. He checked on the CCTV feeds and saw two vans in front of his house.
Ten men stepped out of the vans. They look around and jumped over the wall into his house.
"Huh?!"
Junhyuk was speechless as he just stared at them. His windows were protected as well, and the only way in was through the door.
Junhyuk sent his swords away and turned off every light. They looked foreign and could be carrying firearms. They might even be responsible for the arson incident.
Junhyuk sighed and summoned the black armor. He had never faced firearms, but he wanted to protect himself and started thinking of how to capture them. He was going through ideas when a light flew over the doorknob, and they busted the lock and walked in.
Junhyuk was sitting on his bed as he watched the people rush in.
Five of the men had taser guns. The rest of them had guns with silencers. They found him and quickly surrounded him, but he just stared at them.
"Junhyuk Lee?"
"That's not me."
Some of them inspected the rest of the house. The house had a simple layout, and they didn't find anyone else inside of it, so they came back and looked at him.
"You are not Junhyuk Lee?"
Junhyuk felt no need to speak and got up. He wanted to knock them out and then question them. However, as he got up, they shot off their tasers, but he only felt a small sting.
The black armor was immune to magic, and the taser guns had no effect on it. Junhyuk was doing fine, so the men carrying guns took aim at his legs. He was worried.
Ping! Ping!
The bullets bounced off, and Junhyuk's worries went away. He ran at them and grabbed them by their wrists.
Crack!
Their wrists broke, and Junhyuk grabbed them by the elbow and threw them around. Four men were already on the ground, and Junhyuk kicked another, who was launched away by the impact. He kicked two other men on their legs. Junhyuk's kicks were so powerful that no human could withstand them.
Crack!
Both men spun around and dropped to the ground. Three remained, and Junhyuk jabbed at two of them. He punched them hard.
As for the last man, Junhyuk grabbed him by the shoulder, pushed him down and stared at him. He was the leader who had signaled the others with his eyes.
"Are you ready to talk?"
Junhyuk looked at the other men. Two men could still move around, but they couldn't move easily. Junhyuk's strength was far too destructive.
He looked down at the man he was holding by the shoulders, pressing down harder, and the man wriggled in pain.
"Argh!"
He looked for his ID, but couldn't find one. That surprised him.
"You guys came in here without a plan? I will bury all of you if you don't talk. Who sent you?" He asked coldly.
"Even if you kill us, you won't find anything," the man responded.
Junhyuk looked at him and hit him on the back of the neck. The man lost consciousness, and Junhyuk kicked him and made sure everyone was down.
After that, he looked at the vans outside. They had to have drivers, so Junhyuk teleported inside them. The first driver didn't know what to do, and Junhyuk knocked him out and moved to next van.
He knocked out the second driver and waited. Forty seconds went by, and he teleported away with the driver.
With two spatial relocations, he had both drivers inside of his house with the rest of the men. He duct taped all of them and thought about the situation.
"What should I do with them?"
Friday was a worldwide holiday, but local convenience stores were still open, so Junhyuk bought some wire and wrapped it around the men.
When he got inside the house, he summoned the black armor. They hadn't known if he was Junhyuk or not, so he would keep his face concealed.
Junhyuk didn't give them any food, and the wire was tied in a way to block circulation. Then, he grabbed the man giving out the orders.
"I got rid of the vans."
The man didn't speak, and Junhyuk continued:
"I'm curious. If you don't return, will they send more goons?"
The man finally spoke:
"You'll meet him. It's been scheduled."
Junhyuk smiled, but he was wearing the armor, so the man could not see his face.
Clap!
Junhyuk slapped the man on the chin, and the man passed out.
"I can't talk to these people."
He changed plans. He would have to use force, so he took another man and tied his wrists with the wire. The blood couldn't circulate, and his hands turned blue.
Junhyuk stared at him.
"From now on, every time you don't answer me, I will cut the circulation on your hands and feet until they fall off. If you answer me, I will let you go."
"How can we trust you?"
"Don't trust me and lose your hands and feet. First, I'll get rid of a hand and a foot. Next, your I'll take an arm and a leg. Then, I'll move on to the next person. So, don't answer me if you don't want to."
Junhyuk sat on a chair, and the tied-up man looked at the others. Junhyuk saw the man looking at the leader and asked:
"Do you need his permission?"
So, he kicked the leader lightly.
"Ugh!" The leader moaned and regained consciousness.
Junhyuk grabbed him and said:
"He needs your permission. You can watch your men lose their hands and feet or you can talk."
