Chapter 112

Minjun was in a big shock. “Did you say Endelion now?”

– Yes, agent. you’re right. It was the most shocking news I heard today. 

“Not just Endelion, but a princess?” 

The greeting he felt the most curious about was the royal heir to the tentacle creature! He was already proven to be an incomprehensible human being. 

‘Sending an ancient race to such a remote dimension.’ 

The ancient race avoids remote areas. It wasn’t for nothing that the place had been vacant for a long time.

However, they sent a princess?

‘Is it because of me?’ 

Was it because he thought it was suspicious when the talents he had recently acquired had skyrocketed and wanted to monitor it himself? However, this guess was soon erased from his mind. This was because it was just an illusion that everything in the world revolved around him. 

‘Isn’t Dell supposed to be involved?’ 

As far as Minjun knew, the most recent tentacle creature to visit Earth was his ex-wife. However, it was speculation that this fact alone would link the two Endelions. In any case, it must have felt both surprising and shocking. 

‘No matter what you hear for the time being, you won’t be more surprised than this.’ 

At this, Minjun hung up the phone and waited for the bodyguards sent by Blair. After a while, chaos could be heard from all over the hospital. 

“Looks like you have arrived.” 

“Brother, shall we go then?” 

“Okay. Just a simple handover…” 

At that moment, Jeongpal’s face hardened as he looked out the window. “What is all that?”

The expression of the parliamentarian who followed the gaze also hardened. “··············?!” 

Choi Pan-seok, who had been staring outside for a long time, managed to open his mouth. “Agent. Did you have any intelligence that this hospital was plotting a coup?” 

Only after seeing what they were seeing with their own eyes did Minjun understand. Why did the two of them say that? 

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-dou-

A helicopter squadron was approaching from afar. It was not intended for emergency patient transport used in hospitals. The window of the hospital room opens and the patients look out puzzledly. Rotor wing aircraft with drab green exteriors began to land on the roof of each building, one by one. When the helipad proved to not be enough, it tried to land on the ground. 

“That’s a tank, isn’t it? Unless my eyes are wrong…” 

In the parking lot outside, tanks and military trucks entered one after another. From there, armed special agents jumped down and spread across the hospital grounds. As directed by the commander, everyone quickly flew away. The size of the personnel and equipment was unusual.

– All to the location! 

Minjun recognized familiar faces that were moving with the soldiers. They were a lot. ‘How many immigration agents have been dispatched? They alone can catch a young dragon.’ 

It seemed that all the agents of this country, who were now empty, had been called. From there, the door to the hospital room opened. “Hello, Agent!”

Chuck! An agent in combat uniform came in and saluted. It was a tight-knit gesture. He was not quite as good as Minjun, but he was a veteran of the immigration office. 

At face value, he looked like 20 years old, but his attitude toward Minjun was awe-inspiring. Minjun raised his hand dryly. “Ah, long time no see.” 

Instead of replying to greetings, he reported modestly. “At the request of the agent, we are conducting a joint military defense operation based on this hospital site as of this time!” 

“···Over. Not even a real soldier.”

Minjun tilted and said, “By the way, I asked for personnel to protect each person. I never asked for a level that would blow up the entire hospital. Or is there even a hatchling kidnapper hiding here?” 

The agent then replied that it was exactly what Blair had ordered. In the explanation that followed, some important words were omitted as if he was conscious of the other listeners, but Minjun was able to grasp the situation quickly. Jenkinson had recently been deprived of a Red Star executive who was being protected by Minjun’s request, but more precisely, Ha Eun-seong’s possessed executive. He had been kidnapped helplessly. 

The incident, when he was entrusted with protection by his friend, but failed pathetically, carved a deep rift within the Red Dragon’s pride. After that, the dragon gave instructions to his men. In the future, if Minjun were to make a similar request, one should respond with all available power. 

And, like an extreme elf, he faithfully followed Blair’s instructions. She was out of contact with Jenkinson, so there was no one to put her brakes on her. The results for this were now unfolding in this hospital. 

‘The dragon and the elf’s personality flaws are a perfect collaboration.’ 

Doctors and patients, unable to grasp the situation, stalked the hallways and fled in terror when they saw soldiers flailing around with machine guns. The senator muttered with a tired face. 

“Boo, obviously, this is something to be grateful for…”

Minjun waved his hand. “It’s already happened, and I can’t get it back. Just enjoy it.” 

The elf wouldn’t move, saying that he did as he had been ordered. From Minjun’s point of view, there was no need to make such a request. 

‘If this is enough, you won’t have to stay here. Yuntus, let’s go with us.’ 

The invisibility magic that he had given while waiting for Choi Sei-ah may have been broken, but perhaps this was a good thing, all things considered. 

=As ordered.= 

Behind the open door, he saw the head of the hospital watching the situation with a shifty expression. 

*** 

Minjun accompanied the priest to the troll’s residence. In addition to this, he was frustrated. 

“Damn it, as expected.” As the police had already declared, there were no clues to be found there. It was the same with the house and the tobacco shop. 

“What should I do, brother?”

Without even dreaming that the hidden priest was watching around, Jeongpal then asked Minjun, “I can’t. Let’s just stop here for today.” 

There was no more stinging place to go, no witnesses to interrogate. Minjun decided to end the day here. They then stopped in front of the mall. “Would you like to go have a drink?” 

“I am fine. Oh, I see, you keep getting calls, right?” 

Minjun, who was in trouble, took out his cell phone, one that he had not touched before. Most of the missed calls and texts were from Cathy. A visitor had come to the office. 

“Who are you?”

“Yeah, go take a look.” 

Minjun, who opened the office door after sending Jeongpal, froze. “…” ”

“Oh, are you here?”

Cathy’s voice could be heard in the bathroom attached to the office. However, he couldn’t afford to turn his head towards it. Instead, he stared at only one place with a cold expression. This was because there was a woman sitting on the guest sofa, who shouldn’t have been there. 

“Ah, you’re here?” 

It was a calm tone, as if they would meet again after a few hours. At the same time, it was an unforgettable voice. It was also one that was repeated over and over in his recent dreams. It was soft and gentle on the ears. Although the tone was so warm, Minjun also felt the chill running down his spine. The woman in question leaned on her back in a comfortable and stable position just like in her own home… 

“…Dell?” 

Shake! 

The moment Minjun spoke, the heretical judge in the hidden state showed a strange reaction. This was because the name was not unfamiliar. Yuntus could remember. The name he had shouted over and over again, like a scream with a terrifying voice. That was the name. 

*** 

Bloody smell. Minjun felt the thick scent of blood lingering on the tip of his nose. The peaceful office scene overlapped with the dimly lit laboratory scene from another dimension in an instant.

At the same time, the conversation with Blair came to mind. 

– The committee has dispatched a new head of the district representative office. I arrived on Earth today, but please note that there is an embargo on until tomorrow midnight Korean time. Today’s reception will be held informally. The one who was sent… is the princess of the ancient race Endelion. 

No matter the case, there was no possibility of bringing in another ancient race as a staff member. To this remote dimension? Absolutely impossible. 

In other words, at this moment, there was only one Endelion that was attaching its feet to the Earth… No, its tentacles. 

“··········!” 

Such was the princess of Endelion who visited Earth. In addition to this, Minjun’s ex-wife was an Endelion. Two concepts began to merge. 

‘Oh my God.’ 

Endelion alone was a titanium spoon that far surpassed a gold spoon… even among them. ‘Were you a princess?’ 

Looking at his hardened face, Dell smiled softly. “Are you very surprised, darling?”

Clink! 

It was the sound of Cathy dropping her tray while she was preparing snacks in the bathroom. Dell didn’t turn her head towards it. Instead, she stared at the ex-husband.

“A frying pan? You said you don’t have a favorite weapon other than a dagger, so does that mean your tastes have changed? It’s outrageous.”

“…” 

“Are you carrying that around these days and beating bad guys in the back? It’s very tough… It may not be your style, but I guess people do change.” 

At this, he threw a calm gaze at the frying pan and said: “I know the material is strong. I’ll cut through the outer walls of the spaceship if I stand up properly. By the way, shouldn’t it be possible to carry something else with you? In addition to this, is everything okay?” 

= No, that older sister is saying all sorts of sad things! But… who are you? Like Agent-nim, I can’t read a single thought within her mind.= 

He ignored the furious clamor of the frying pan. And, barely, he moved his hardened lips. 

“Wait, let’s talk separately.” He had initially thought about moving places, but couldn’t come up with a better place than this one.

‘Yuntus, to the basement.’ 

= I understand. I will restore divine power there, purifying body and mind until I call again.= 

Then he turned his head to look at Cathy. She looked at Minjun and Dell alternately with a pale expression, as if she had just faced her ghost. “I’m sorry, Cathy, would you like to leave work today?” 

The answer came six seconds late. “···Ah, yes?” 

Then, she looked down at the broken plate. “Still, I should put this away…” 

“No, that’s fine. I’ll figure it out.” 

Even after only the two of them were left, Minjun then began to speak – but found that he couldn’t. When he managed to ring the sound again, his voice was so dry that even he felt unfamiliar with himself. 

“Why are you here?” 

It was a question with two meanings. Why did you come to Earth as a member of the committee? And, why did you come to this house?

Dell understood all of the questions and returned words to answer both questions at the same time. “Because of you.” She looked up at her ex-husband. Her two eyes were as deep as pitch black. “Are you going to stand up and talk?” 

Minjun was stiff. Even when he had been reunited at the terminal, it wasn’t like this. The terrible feeling proved to be quite manageable, and he soon realized why. ‘It’s because of the dream.’ 

The terrible dream that was repeated over and over again brought back his heart to the past. Minjun temporarily sealed the frying pan as he sat down. He then put it in the warehouse before speaking once more. “Why were you hiding until now?” But then, he paused.

Come to think of it, she never hid. Because she never asked. Should he blame the ex-wife for not being a princess for her lack of imagination? He changed the question. “Did the royal family agree that the princess of Endelion would go to such a remote dimension?” 

Dell put on a sad expression on her face. “Aren’t you more curious about how I got here than why I came?” 

Minjun didn’t answer, and Dell took a deep breath and explained. “I’m supposed to be here looking for fragments of Asif-1.” 

“·········.” The prisoner did not show any surprise on his face. He thought that there would be no more surprises today, but his hasty predictions were broken once more. 

“I’m not going to make it public. Because the royal family has put such a big bounty on it… all of these idiots will end up coming to Earth.” 

“Is the entity that placed the bounty on the fragments Endelion?” 

“To be precise, our tribe’s will and budget were most reflected.” After saying that, Dell mumbled this time with a sullen tone. “I was going to tell this story a little later… I have to be on the other side of this planet in a few hours. I’m quite late.”

However, the ex-husband’s cold expression did not change, and Dell finally decided to bring up the story. “The most important reason I asked to be dispatched here … again, is you. The purpose of finding fragments is ultimately tied to you.” 

At this Minjun asked, barely suppressing his gaze toward the sealed frying pan. “How?” 

“Do you know the order after the inmate gets the fragments? The committee that received it is supposed to share ownership with the Endelion royal family.”

Minjun is not aware of the internal affairs of the committee. “And I got a very credible report that the debris had flowed into Earth.” 

Afterwards, she began to explain why she should be by Minjun’s side. “If I could find it. This plan will be something like my ‘Plan A-2’.” 

At this point, the more important question was… “Plan for what?”

Dell’s eyes widened. “Of course, the plan is to set you free!” 

Due to this, Minjun naturally thought back on her ‘plan to assassinate her husband’. Seeing that expression, Dell shook her head and said, “Put the old thoughts aside. Plan A-1 is to collect severance pay by completing small missions. Yeah, like the Demonic Goblin Gene. There’s something to update on this too, but we’ll do it a little later. And Plan A-2 is to find the shards and pay for severance in one shot. Surely the severance pay will not exceed 7 million talents?” 

Minjun then asked after a moment of silence. “Then do you have Plan A-3?” 

“No, I have a plan B instead.”

“What is that?” Plan A was the most desirable solution from Minjun’s point of view and from Dell’s point of view. A plan for prisoners to collect and pay severance pay and to regain their freedom fairly. On the other hand, Plan B tended to deviate from the right path.

“For Plan B, I can’t tell you all the details right now. Still, the reason I brought up the story is because I have something to ask of you for that.”

Request? “What?” 

“Actually, it’s true that I came to see your face today, but there are also some things that I’d want to get from you.”

Minjun felt an ominous foreboding creeping into his chest. “So, what is it?” 

At this, the ex-wife looked into his eyes and mumbled, “Hey, don’t get me wrong. Can I get a little bit of your own blood and cerebrospinal fluid?”

“…” 

At this, Minjun began to think about possible ways to drive the Endelion away from the house.
