The reason Christine came to Korea was simply to hear the next round of predictions from the prophet.
I would also like to ask about the black scythe.
‘I did… … .’
As soon as I arrived at the airport, I met an unexpected person.
“How could Deacon Jeffrey get here…” … ?”
Christine’s eyes turned fierce because she had bad feelings.
“Did you really follow my lead? “By your father’s instructions?”
“no. “I came here under the instructions of Black Scythe.”
“Black Scythe?”
Christine’s anger subsided at the mention of the black scythe.
I never expected to hear that name from Jeffrey’s mouth.
Is that why?
I quickly became suspicious.
“How do you know Black Scythe, Deacon? “What does it have to do with it?”
“We partied together in round 12. Then, when he found out that I knew Christine, he asked me for his cell phone number.”
“yes?”
Did you exchange numbers you didn’t know about?
For a moment, jealousy overcame suspicion, but I was soon able to regain my composure.
“Do not lie. As far as I know, Black Scythe is reluctant to meet other people in real life… … .”
At that time, Jeffrey suddenly held out his cell phone.
“I just made a video call to Black Scythe. “Let’s talk.”
“yes?”
I was surprised when I received it and saw a person wearing a white mask on the screen.
-Is this Chrissy?
“What, Black Scythe?”
On the screen, a black scythe was standing in the familiar attire seen in the other world.
The sickle was the same as what I saw back then.
“Are you really Black Scythe?”
-okay. You have the same face in the other world and in reality.
‘I touched on the shape of my face and skin… … .’
I was disappointed that I couldn’t tell the difference, but that wasn’t the important thing right now.
Because it was the phone call with the lifesaver I so desperately wanted.
“I never thought I would talk to Black Scythe in real life.”
-I didn’t think of that either. I never thought you and Jeffy knew each other.
“I heard you exchanged numbers after hearing what I said? Do you have anything to do with me… … ?”
Christine asked with a hint of anticipation, but the answer she received was different from what she expected.
-There is something I want to show you. I’ll tell you the location, so you can come there. Jeffy will provide guidance.
“Ah, I get it.”
After finishing the call, Christine smiled awkwardly.
“I’m sorry for doubting you, Deacon. “You really came into contact with Black Scythe?”
“yes. “It’s an amazing relationship, isn’t it?”
“I see. How did you party with Black Scythe?”
“I’ll talk about it little by little as we go. “Let’s move for now.”
Christine went somewhere in the car prepared by Jeffrey.
‘What is it that you want to show? Is Black Scythe coming too?’
The car, which was driving down the road while suppressing curiosity, was already entering a dark mountain road.
“We’re all here.”
“Are you here?”
“yes. “Please get off.”
Soon, I climbed the mountain path with Jeffrey.
If I had come with someone I didn’t know, I would have been suspicious, but I trusted Christine.
I also spoke to Black Scythe, and the person leading the way was none other than Jeffrey.
‘Deacon Jeffrey is not a person who would harm me.’
I’m sure I’ve seen it since I was young.
He said he was the person who would protect him more than anyone else.
That was the reason why Christine followed with confidence.
“huh? “Is there someone over there?”
I saw a man and a woman standing behind a tree.
In particular, the woman was someone Christine knew well.
“Seo A-rin?”
“Chrissy?”
The two people facing each other called each other’s nicknames at the same time.
I couldn’t have known because we had formed a party together in round 12 just a few days ago.
“hello. I never thought I would meet Seo A-rin here… … .”
“Me too, Chrissy. “They said there would be one more person, but I didn’t know it was Chrissie.”
Christine’s eyes widened at Seo A-rin’s fluent English pronunciation.
“You speak English well?”
“I learned it in my spare time while taking acting classes. “There is English in the lines, but it’s a bit awkward if the pronunciation is awkward.”
Christine already knew that Seo Ah-rin was an actress.
As we formed a party together, we exchanged various stories as well as full statements.
It was only then that I found out that Ma Kyung-rok was a celebrity affiliated with the company.
“How can your face be the same as in reality?”
“So does Chrissy.”
“I modified it a little bit… … .”
“uh? is it so? I did not know. You are so pretty both in real life and in the other world… … .”
Is it because I was a colleague at a party?
Or is it because they have a common denominator: the black scythe?
Although they had only met for a short time, their relationship wasn’t that bad.
Rather, they were busy praising each other like friends who hadn’t seen each other in a long time.
“Who is next to you?”
“Ah, this is the person Black Scythe introduced me to… … .”
“My name is Joo Seong-tak. “I had a party with Black Scythe in round 12.”
Joo Seong-tak introduced it to Christine’s gaze.
Although we couldn’t communicate, there was no problem in conversation because Seo A-rin was there.
“Ah, this place is called Zephyr. Greet each other… … .”
Jeffrey and Joo Seong-tak only glanced at each other and did not talk at all.
Even if we don’t communicate or say hello, we know each other.
That I am a slave to the black scythe.
“It’s no different than calling you two here. “Black Scythe said he had something to show you.”
“What do you want to show me?”
Joo Seong-tak pointed beyond the tree with his finger.
There was an old warehouse sitting at the bottom of the slope, and a familiar man appeared in front of it.
“Well, that person… … .”
It was none other than Ma Gyeong-rok.
“Why is Ma Gyeong-rok over there?”
Seo A-rin answered Christine’s question.
“Black Scythe said that the person he wanted to show was CEO Ma. It shows the true nature of CEO Ma… … .”
“substance?”
Christine looked at Ma Gyeong-rok once again.
He looked like he was waiting for someone in front of the warehouse.
“What on earth is Black Scythe trying to show…? … .”
“I said you would find out by watching. So, I’m waiting here too.”
When Seo A-rin said she was waiting, Christine had no choice but to watch quietly.
I didn’t know what side of Ma Gyeong-rok I wanted to see.
At that time, Ma Gyeong-rok spoke to someone on the phone and went inside.
Because I stayed more than 30 meters away to avoid being detected, I couldn’t hear the call.
“uh? “Someone is coming over there.”
A van arrived on a mountain road and a person got out.
It was Ahn Sang-cheol, Ma Gyeong-rok’s right-hand man, whom Christine also knew.
Grumble-
He opened the back seat and saw two unknown people.
Christine and Seo A-rin, who were watching, were surprised when they were taken to the warehouse as they were motionless, either unconscious or dead.
“Um, what is that? Could this be kidnapping?”
“Seo, no way. “Probably not.”
After a while, Ahn Sang-cheol came out and guarded the door armed.
It was then.
It sounded like something was being said, and then a scream came from the warehouse.
It was a cry so painful that it could be heard dozens of meters away.
“Hey, this looks like those people screaming earlier… … .”
“What on earth is going on inside…?” … .”
Even though he heard the screams, Ahn Sang-cheol, who was outside, just stayed still like a guard dog.
As if he knew what was going on inside.
Christine and Seo A-rin, who couldn’t bear to look inside the warehouse, had to calm down behind a tree.
“Mr. Seo A-rin. “Can’t you use that fairy to take a peek?”
“It’s no use. Because I can’t communicate with Fairy… … .”
The screaming soon stopped, and soon Ma Gyeong-rok and one of the kidnapped men came out of the warehouse.
“Chief Ahn.”
“Yes, CEO.”
“Don’t let that bastard go. “I will kill you with my own hands.”
Ahn Sang-cheol used his shield to prevent the man from running away.
Ma Gyeong-rok also chased after the man and cut off his knee.
“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
“You can’t run away now, can you?”
“Say, save me! brother!”
Seo A-rin, who learned the identity of the man while listening to him pleading, interpreted for Christine with surprised eyes.
“That man… … “They say he is CEO Ma’s younger brother.”
“Brother? “Family?”
“I guess the problem arose because of the successor issue.”
“No matter what, my family… … .”
Christine felt goosebumps as she watched Ma Gyeong-rok cut off her remaining leg.
Was he a man with such a cruel disposition?
The Ma Gyeong-rok he sees now is not the fiancé he has ever seen.
He was just a psychopath who seemed to enjoy people’s pain.
“Eat it up.”
“Oh, no! Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Christine came forward when people were being eaten alive.
“Stop it!”
“Christine?”
Ma Gyeong-rok was taken aback by the sudden appearance of his fiancee.
It became even more so when Seo A-rin was next to me.
“Even actors?”
Although he was surprised, he did not take back the order given to the Dark Auror.
“Kuhuhuhuhuhuh…” … .”
“Mr. Ma Gyeong-rok! stop! “I don’t know the circumstances, but let’s stop here!”
Christine tried to stop him, but it was already too late.
Ma Kyung-soo eventually died with all his flesh eaten by the Dark Auror.
“What are you doing now… … .”
“CEO… … .”
As the two people looked at each other in disbelief, Ma Gyeong-rok gave up the idea of asking how he got there.
I didn’t know why I was here, but it was important to convince the two of them first.
“I know what you’re thinking. Christine. “But it’s a misunderstanding.”
“Are you mistaken?”
“As you can see, it is true that someone was killed. “But I didn’t kill an innocent person.”
“I heard the person you just killed was your brother.”
“you’re right. This is my younger brother. But that guy is a piece of trash who tried to kill me. “He already killed his own brother there.”
There was evidence, so there was nothing to worry about.
But the contempt did not disappear from Christine’s face.
“Do you know what you are saying? “Even though he killed his own brother, he says he didn’t do anything wrong!”
“Because it’s true. “I did nothing wrong.”
“No matter what, I have to think about solving it in words. How can your family… … .”
“That guy tried to kill me first?”
“Did you see everything kidnapped here?”
“I brought you here because they wanted to assassinate me. I wanted to ask you why you did that. Then he pointed a knife at me first, and as you can see, I ended up killing him in an accidental accident.”
“Accident? “It’s not intentional murder?”
“sure. “She just had no choice but to kill.”
“You couldn’t help it? “Even though I saw you smiling like a psychopathic killer when you killed someone?”
“It can’t be. “You saw it wrong.”
When I lied with a calm face that I had seen the whole thing, Christine was shocked.
“What is clear is that they tried to kill me first. “Please know that.”
“That doesn’t justify murder.”
“Even though I almost died?”
“There was another way.”
“no. “There was none.”
“Then can you speak proudly to the world? “I killed my brother and it was only self-defense?”
In an instant, Ma Gyeong-rok’s expression cooled coldly.
There was no way I could tell the world.
If that happens, the achievements made so far will be lost, regardless of whether you are the successor or not.
There was no way public opinion would be good after killing his family.
‘If you do something wrong, even the murders committed here in the past could be exposed.’
They said they would destroy the evidence, but I don’t know what will happen if there is a police investigation.
‘The cleanest thing for now is to leave no witnesses… … .’
Murderous intent appeared in Ma Gyeong-rok’s eyes as he made his decision.
“Whew. “I didn’t want to do it like this.”
Ma Gyeong-rok’s sword was pointed at Christine.
“If you want to make me into a bad guy, I can’t help it. “I have no choice but to do it that way.”
Ahn Sang-cheol noticed and blocked the two people.
Then Christine and Seo A-rin became nervous.
Unless you were an idiot, you couldn’t have known.
That they are planning to murder and destroy themselves right here.
“Before I kill you, let me ask you one thing. How did you find out about this place? “Are you following me?”
“… … .”
“Well, you don’t have to answer right now. “I’ll make sure you answer soon.”
Ma Gyeong-rok truly decided to kill them both.
Ma Gyeong-rok had no personal feelings for Christine anyway.
‘It was perfect for business reasons, but there was nothing I could do about it.’
Now that things have come to this, I have to kill him and save my other fiancee.
Because right now, protecting your secret was the most important thing.
But Ma Gyeong-rok didn’t know.
Cheaeng-!
I only found out after striking down the dagger that came at me by surprise.
“You had more colleagues.”
That there was Jeffrey and Joo Seong-tak.
