Chapter 141: A Shard Within (3)
Of course, Hyunjae Sung did not say that he will trust me . He responded with a gaze filled with suspicion and curiosity about what my plan was .
“I have a psychological skill that I want to use to return your memory . However, since my stats are low, I cannot use it without your consent . ”
“You’re telling me to accept a psychological skill . ”
“Yes . ”
Hyunjae Sung’s expression was expectably sour since who would like to have his or her head dug up? A hunter with violent tendencies might start swinging a sword to open up my head first .
“How soft was I on you for you to say that kind of nonsense without hesitation?”
“I’m trying to help you out of goodwill with some risks on my part . I’m quite expensive, Sesung Guild Leader . ”
“Even for me?”
“Not if you gave me the Sesung Guild . Give up . ”
“You’re confident . ”
“Stop avoiding the subject . ” I cut into the chase . “If you don’t like my proposal, go on living like now . ”
I needed some things from him, including immediate cooperation, but the Hyunjae Sung in front of me did not know that . So, I went in strong .
Hyunjae Sung’s eyes narrowed at my provocation, and I felt chills run down my spine . The house was cold enough for me to have goosebumps on my arm . I should make an appeal that he has to keep me alive about now .
“Please calm down and look at this . ”
I pushed my phone to him that displayed an article about me . It included details about the farm facilities, riding beasts, and Myungwoo . Hyunjae Sung picked up the phone and scrolled down the article without speaking .
“This is the Comet Soyoung was talking about . ”
“It’s a cute dragon with useful skills that have not been revealed yet, like my skill of doubling the effect on offensive skills . ”
“That’s not very useful for a low-grade hunter . ”
“This skill can be shared . I told you that we hunted a SS class monster together, right? It was quite effective there . ”
“Then why did I leave you alone?”
Hyunjae Sung tilted his neck as he returned my phone .
“I would have tamed and tied you up . ”

“I have an L class curse resistance skill, so that might be difficult . ”
“An L class?”
His pale eyes looked surprised . A Hyunjae Sung, who does not know anything about me, was amusing in his responses .
“I also have high-class poison resistance . I nullified your contract with that lizard . Check if you want . ”
“I wondered when you spoke about an arm and a leg . ”
“I lent you a hand . I have nothing to lose if I go back and will live well in peace . You, however, need me . ”
“You’re aggressive for someone who does not have a problem . ”
“It’s for the times we had, so I’ll say this one last time . ”
I raised one hand and continued .
“Please submit to my skill . ”
He was not someone who would give up in front of an F class when he had so much to know . Hyunjae Sung nodded his head after a short while .

“It’s been a long time since my last gambit . ”
“I heard that less than a month ago . Please don’t get addicted . ”
Hyunjae Sung let down his suspicions at my words and smiled .
I had Irin’s help the last time I used this skill, so this was my first time using it alone . I was worried about whether it would work properly, but from my struggle to turn off the skill last time, I made a psychological space more easily than I thought .
I opened my eyes to see a room where the light came in from a large window . A man was standing with his back to it, and his eyes smiled as he saw me .
“Hello, Yoojin Han . ”
“How can you be so calm greeting me?”
My worry sank and grew cold . I had been a tiny bit worried, but it was a meaningless emotion . Maybe I should just get out .
“I apologize for surprising you since this was beyond my estimations . ”
“I was not surprised, but I was almost killed . ”

“I see that I had been impolite . ”
“It was nothing . I was dragged by a chain and went up the stairs with my body, and almost drowned in an aquarium . ”
“I’m ashamed of my actions . You came to my home, and I only served water . ”
Do you call that serving? I did drink a lot though .
“So, what happened? Can you get out again?”
“I began to feel that something was wrong from about two months ago . ”
Hyunjae Sung slanted his neck and started speaking . Two months meant that he had felt the effects of my regression .
“At first I sensed minor differences, but I remembered something concrete at dawn that my abilities to handle magnetic forces in range and intensity were still weak . ”
Deep golden eyes looked at me . Taewon Song did not know that Hyunjae Sung could use magnetism, and it was because he was unable to wield it .
‘His range and intensity were powerful . ’
If he could use magnetism that well, he had to have used it on a smaller scale a few times beforehand . Controlling properties perfectly like that was impossible despite it being a property innate in a hunter .
“I also vaguely remembered things I forgot, but they scattered like sand . I tried to go after them, and that’s why I’m in this situation . ”
