Chapter 136 Part 2
I should not have called this person . Little brother, this time, you made a wrong decision . But he would not have told me to call Hyunjae Sung if he knew that my fear resistance skill level decreased . I should have told him .

“How did Yoohyun Han come here?”
“You probably have not heard the news, but the Hayeon Guild leader went to conquer a dungeon . The fire was merely a gas explosion since someone seemed to have escaped after forgetting to close a gas valve . ”
“Your tongue seems to be light as a feather . ”
While Hyunjae Sung was still smiling, I had to wonder where the end of his patience was since he was not a guy used to holding back . However, I could not answer any of the questions . I could not tell him Taewon Song’s skill, and I would be crazy to tell him Yoohyun’s . It was the same for the magic stone in my chest .
Hyunjae Sung spoke as he stared at me after a short silence .
“It can’t be helped . ”
My knees bent not out of my own accord . My breath hitched, and everything turned white .
When my shaking vision somehow cleared, I could see my hands on the floor . The sound of my breathing seemed too far away to be mine .
“Yoojin Han . ”
Hyunjae Sung lowered his body with one knee on the ground . He tousled my head like a dog and made me lift my head . Our eyes met while I was still reeling, and his gaze that pretended to be gentle instilled a deep fear in me .
“Yoojin, you should be telling me the truth . ”
His sweet whisper came like an absolute command . The ends of my fingers clawed the floor .
“Why were you wounded on the chest?”
“The magic stone…”

The magic stone of Diarma . My head cleared a bit once I remembered it . Diarma and the Queen of the Mermen . I remembered what happened at that time .
A cursed poisonous dragon large enough to swallow a star and the ruler of waters .
Damn it, I had gone through almost anything despite being an F class . I would not bend to this . While I had lost the benefits of the fear resistance skill, I still had my experiences under my belt .
“My opponent is only an S class . ”
I clenched my teeth . I tried to escape from the chains choking me, but it was not easy . In fiction, people would somehow break free by sheer will, but reality was bleak .
“Stop resisting and speak . ”
Then you would be released . It was a tempting offer .
I could not do anything about the class difference and therefore had no way out . My stats were F class and there was a huge gap between Hyunjae Sung and me, and I had no mental resistance items .
F class was useless . Therefore, only an even higher class could win against a higher class .
“That bastard . ”
I used magic through breath-taking pressure . The mental skill of the Diarma was not directed at him . I could not use it, and it would not be effective unless he accepted it due to class differences . The skill was addressed to me .
I took only some parts of the skill effects and refreshed my memory of when Diarma and the Queen faced each other and their immense presence .
An S class? That was a pond in front of an ocean .
The ocean attacked the pond and me and swept us away .

“Uh!”
Damn, I had to be crazy . I should have chosen Diarma before he became a dragon . I stopped breathing for a moment . I slid down on the ground and looked up at Hyunjae Sung with tears streaking down my face . He looked actually surprised now .
“You’re only an S class . You don’t deserve to see this . ”
Why are you smiling? Hyunjae Sung picked me up again, and I felt absolutely battered inside . I wanted my pet . Hey, your daddy is dying right now .
-Peep!
“…Hey . ”
It really came . I gently took the baby bird floating in front of me in my hands . The soft and warm touch calmed my racing heartbeat .
“So, it does have a teleport skill . ”
“Stop looking at someone else’s pet . ”
-Peep . Peep!
“Hey, thank you for coming to me, but it’s too dangerous for you to be out like this . ”
It would be difficult for me if the little guy appeared during a battle . I should educate him so he would not teleport so easily, but I had no idea how to do it .
The car arrived as I fed the little guy magic stones . The driver immediately came out and opened the back door . I wanted to fall asleep the moment I sat but I glared at Hyunjae Sung, who sat next to me instead .
“If you have a conscience, please get off . ”
“We will be immediately returning to the guild . ”
Hyunjae Sung ignored my words and spoke to the driver . Wait, that guild would not mean Haeyeon?
“Shouldn’t you be taking me back? Do you want me to take a cab?”
“I can’t leave you like this . I’ll protect you for the foreseeable future . ”
“You’re the most dangerous person I know!”
-Peep!
“Thank you for overestimating an S class . ”
“Please let me out anywhere near a lane . ”
I did not know whether I could walk, but I would return home if I needed to crawl . Or if someone would just let me make a phone call to Haeyeon .
“I’m unwell, but I just need to stay at home . Do you have the right to be worried about me?”
“I’ll erase a debt . ”
“Two . Let’s bury the hatchet about Noah . ”
“You ask too much for a lowly S class . ”
Hyunjae Sung’s face creased into a sad face, and I did not care, two debts had to be paid . He seemed to know his crimes as he accepted the deal soon enough .
The car, fortunately, turned to the raising area . Noah was waiting anxiously at the parking lot .
“Mr . Yoojin!”
Noah rushed towards me and held my arm . He then glared at Hyunjae Sung .
“Why does he look worse than before?”
“He did too much as he always does . Let him rest . ”
Did he know whose fault it was? Hyunjae Sung looked at my chest before getting back in the car .
“I’m curious avout what you are going to say to your little brother . ”
“Hey, what? Are you going to tell him?!”
The bastard disappeared into the car without a reply . What excuse should I make? I was thinking of getting fake skin to hide the wound as I still had a few days before Yoohyun came out .
“Are you alright?”
My little brother appeared as soon as I washed up after arriving at home . Irin had become tangible from the tattoo and sat perched on my shoulder to look alternatively at Yoohyun and me .
Well, little brother, you seemed to have used a gate stone .
