Chapter 470: Chapter 470

“Wow… was there a place like this in Yueyang?”

Dan So-mi couldn’t hide her surprise while looking around.

She thought she had been to many places.

Especially regarding Yueyang, she thought there was no place she didn’t know. However, this place Yubaek brought them to, she had never seen even once, nor had she ever been here.

The surroundings were plains.

It felt like looking at a wide-open world.

The canola flowers seen everywhere formed a spectacular sight, and if she ran and rolled around in them, it felt like the smell of flowers would seep into her whole body.

Hong Jinrang, Ju Ji-yak, and even Yeo Eunwol, who had tagged along, couldn’t hide their surprise.

It was because they also hadn’t thought even a little that there would be such a place in Yueyang.

The children started jumping around.

Except for the White Tiger and White Cat, who were sound asleep, anyone looking at this place couldn’t help but feel good.

“It’s nice, right?”

Yubaek also smiled.

He seemed very happy to come and spend time with the children in the place he found, so the smile on his lips didn’t disappear.

However, there was also a strange feeling.

Even Ju Ji-yak or Hong Jinrang, who had lived in Yueyang for a long time, didn’t know of the existence of this place, and a strange fog hung around, making it not look particularly sunny.

It was as if this whole situation was an illusion.

However, wondering if the children didn’t know anything, they were only focused on running around and playing, and only Hong Jinrang, who didn’t particularly care about the scenery, made an unenthusiastic expression.

“How did you know about a place like this?”

Hong Jinrang glanced at Yubaek.

She knew it hadn’t been long since he started living here. It bothered her that such Yubaek had found out about a place even people who had lived there for a long time didn’t know.

“Just by chance.”

However, Yubaek had an expression of not caring at all.

Regardless of Hong Jinrang’s gaze, he just had a satisfied expression looking at the three girls in front of him.

Hong Jinrang scratched her head roughly.

“Sometimes, you know. You really seem like a guy I can’t figure out even when I think I do.”

“Haha, I hear that a lot.”

Yubaek acknowledged it and nodded.

He spat out those words naturally as if he had heard them for a long time, and stretching out widely, he loosened his stiff body.

“Do you know that?”

“What?”

“The saying that extreme luck dwells.”

Muttering Yubaek’s gaze was not directed toward Hong Jinrang.

He was looking solely at Dan So-mi, and the gaze given to that tiny child seemed to contain all sorts of emotions.

What was the reason?

Hong Jinrang frowned.

“I’ve never heard of such a saying?”

“Haha. Really? But it actually exists. Of course, most of them are bound to die not long after being born…”

“They die even though extreme luck dwells in them?”

“Death is also one of those extreme lucks.”

Yubaek seemed to read the flow of the world and talk like an old man who had lived a long time. People lived life to survive and struggled because they didn’t want to die.

Therefore, dying at a young age knowing nothing could also be called extreme luck.

“However, very rarely, there are those who escape that yoke of death.”

“Heh… is that amazing?”

“Of course. Avoiding unavoidable death is another extreme luck. And most of those people…”

“Most?”

“Become something that turns the world upside down.”

Yubaek narrowed his eyes sluggishly.

At that moment, an unknown anxiety enveloped Hong Jinrang’s whole body.

The aura flowing out bizarrely gave her nausea, and even her stomach churned as if she would vomit.

Also, it was very different from the expressions of Yubaek she had seen so far.

It also seemed like looking at a completely different person.

“They are always the center of incidents… and gather many things.”

“What… are you talking about?”

“So it would have been better to kill them quickly…”

Yubaek muttered and pulled out the sword at his waist.

The blade that slipped out with a ‘ssreureung’ sound shone fiercely. Even though it wasn’t a sword a young child would carry around, Yubaek’s appearance holding it didn’t even feel somewhat heterogeneous.

Like a person who had handled such a sword for a long time.

Hong Jinrang approached while looking at that appearance.

Because it seemed as if Yubaek was going to kill Dan So-mi.

“Hey… you!”

She tried shouting roughly, but Yubaek didn’t listen.

He approached Dan So-mi with large strides.

Even the children who had been running and playing for a long time, wondering if they noticed Yubaek’s bizarre behavior, stared at him and stopped in their tracks.

“Young Lady!”

Yeo Eunwol hurriedly blocked between Dan So-mi and Yubaek.

Confidence could be glimpsed in her expression holding a dagger in her hand. She didn’t know what was going on, but she felt that Yubaek’s expression approaching holding a sword was unusual.

She absolutely must not let him approach.

She strongly had such a thought.

“What is it, all of a sudden!”

Ju Ji-yak glared fiercely and raised her voice.

The atmosphere was bizarre.

What was felt from Yubaek was distinct murderous intent.

Knowing such a thing, she thought she should block him.

However, wondering if she didn’t properly perceive the situation, only Dan So-mi was blankly staring at Yubaek’s face.

Seeing that, Yubaek chuckled.

“Really… being troublesome.”

“What…?”

Swish!

He disappeared.

The figure of Yubaek who had been right in front of them suddenly disappeared and couldn’t be seen. The surprised Yeo Eunwol and Ju Ji-yak opened their eyes wide, and the White Tiger and White Cat, who sensed the strange atmosphere, rushed in crazily.

At the same time,

Claaang!

An intense sound of metal was heard.

That sound bursting above Dan So-mi’s head horrified everyone.

Yubaek, who had swung the sword, was there.

And in front of him, there was a man with a bizarre appearance.

His face was covered with a mask, and his height was so tall he looked like he was eight feet.

He looked so solid that it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say his whole body was muscular, and the eyes revealed through the mask were beyond sharp, as if piercing the opponent.

“Wh… who?”

Thump.

Dan So-mi watched that and sat down.

An unknown fear arose from the appearance of the suddenly appearing man.

It was an obvious fact that if Yubaek hadn’t swung his sword and blocked him, Dan So-mi would no longer have been a living person.

Her whole body trembled.

What she felt the moment she saw that man was solely fear.

“…”

“I thought I lost you… to think you really appeared.”

Yubaek smiled brightly.

That smile shown toward the man contained ridicule. The gladness felt because he met the one he was looking for, and the murderous intent regarding the fact that he could kill him.

All those things were felt in Yubaek’s single word.

“…Was it you? The one chasing me?”

“Yeah, I thought you’d appear right away in this young appearance, but you’re late.”

“…”

“Yeah, where did your younger brother go and did you come alone?”

Snap!

Yubaek snapped his fingers.

At the same time, bizarre guys revealed themselves one after another from all directions.

Dan So-mi and Ju Ji-yak, who confirmed their appearances, recognized that they were the workers they had seen at Yubaek’s house.

“Young Lady, this way!”

At that time, Yeo Eunwol urgently separated Dan So-mi from among the men. She also had an expression full of anxiety, but it seemed the desire to protect Dan So-mi was greater than her own safety.

At the moment the man moved again and tried to aim for Dan So-mi, Yubaek blocked between them and shook his sword.

“No no. Am I not here?”

“…”

“The world’s Fierce-Faced Twin Killers… do you think I’d let my guard down facing you?”

“…Yubaek, I will kill you here.”

“Haha, if possible, as much as you want.”

He was smiling, but Yubaek had no choice but to be tense. It was true that he had been chasing after him, but he also personally knew how strong he was.

Because even if it was the Eight Immortals, dealing with someone who had reached the same stage as them was by no means an easy task.

“What are you doing? Run away.”

Yubaek shouted toward Dan So-mi without lowering his guard.

Their goal was definitely Dan So-mi.

Therefore, the first thing to do was to make them lose that goal.

“Do you think I’d let them run away?”

“Haha, that’s my line to say.”

Step step.

Yubaek’s subordinates surrounded the man.

Eyes that made one feel the fighting spirit that having finally found him after chasing him, they would never let him go this time.

“Go!”

Soon, at the same time Yubaek’s loud voice was heard, the fight began.

* * *

“Haa, haa, haa.”

“Wh, what on earth is going on?!”

“…”

The eyes of the fleeing children shook greatly.

Yubaek, whom they believed to be a friend, tried to attack Dan So-mi, but it turned out he wasn’t attacking but blocking someone else’s attack.

Also, listening to the words, Yubaek they knew didn’t seem to be an ordinary child.

Their minds became so complicated that it couldn’t be described in words, and with those young minds, they couldn’t understand.

“It doesn’t matter! Right now, we need to get out of here immediately and go home…!”

“Rooooaaaar!”

The White Tiger, who was running while guarding Dan So-mi’s side, suddenly burst into a cry. That intense sound echoed in all directions, and it was full of murderous intent as if threatening an enemy.

The running children couldn’t understand the reason.

Instantly their legs stopped and they couldn’t move.

The White Tiger’s cry was that intense.

At that time.

Tread tread.

A strange sound began to be heard.

Was someone approaching?

A place not too far but also not near.

However, enough to realize it was definitely approaching, the sound was heard gradually and firmly in their ears, and it was getting closer.

The children swallowed dry saliva.

What could it be?

The atmosphere was chillingly bizarre.

The breeze was cold and their bodies stiffened as if extremely tense.

They got goosebumps and trembled.

“Heoheo, where are you going in such a hurry?”

Soon, the bushes parted and an old man revealed himself.

A person with a somehow sharp impression.

From the feeling, it was different from Sa Do-hak or Namgung Cheon, those kind of people. The moment they saw that old man, the White Tiger and White Cat bristled their fur and showed their teeth.

It was clear that outwardly he was an old man with absolutely no feeling, but he had a bizarrely chilling atmosphere that made one’s mind dizzy.

Yeo Eunwol and the White Tiger stood blocking between Dan So-mi and the old man.

“Wh… what is the matter?”

Yeo Eunwol asked while shouting fiercely.

She didn’t know what the opponent wanted, but he was definitely not a good person. Since she had such a feeling, there was an edge in her voice, and her eyes contained the will to escape this place no matter what.

The old man looked at it and smirked.

“Aren’t you going to run away?”

“…What do you mean.”

“Yubaek, who would save you right now, is with another guy… and it seems he doesn’t even know I’m here. Therefore… doesn’t your life depend on this old man?”

The children swallowed dry saliva.

Even Dan So-mi, who usually showed calmness, trembled. The sensation different from anyone she had met until now was so hated that she shuddered.

Still, she asked.

She put strength into her voice and raised it fiercely.

“Who… are you!”

Hearing those words and looking at Dan So-mi, the old man smiled.

Isn’t she a truly amazing child?

She resembled him exactly from one to ten, so he disliked her even more.

“This old man is called Ryu Tae-seo… just remember it. You will forget it soon anyway.”
