The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Chapter 32 - Man whose name strikes fear (3)

"You're really good at babbling nonsense."

Sophie instantly trembled. Hugo was surprised as well. Sophie couldn't believe her ears. She couldn't turn her head, but she was sure of it.

'Lee Gun.'

The voice was different, and it sounded a bit younger. However, feeling someone's spirit was possible. And that spirit was what used to make her shake in fear in the past.

The flustered Sophie was about to turn her head.

"Huh-uhk!" Someone pulled at her hair, shocking her.

Hugo's mouth fell open.

Lee Gun didn't pay attention to their reactions. He just pulled harder on her hair as if he wanted to pull it all out. Letting out a scornful laugh, he said, "I waited to see how far you'll take it, but looks like you really have no filter."

"Wait a moment. Let go..." Sophie grabbed at her hair. She was barely able to turn her head. She wanted to confirm what this crazy bastard looked like.

"Oohp?!"

However, Lee Gun pushed something into her mouth. The next moment, Sophie unconsciously swallowed it.

'What did you just—'

It happened at that moment.

"Wait a moment... Kyahhk!"

Lee Gun nonchalantly headed toward somewhere with Sophie in tow. Sophie quickly tried to ask for help, but the Archer Saint shut her mouth. Hugo even went as far as to take off his suit jacket to cover her face.

"Oohp, ooh-oohp!"

At this point, they weren't heroes; they were human traffickers.

The group soon entered a reception room near the suite.

"It's fine. You can get that off her face."

Finally, the jacket over Sophie's face was lifted.

Sophie finally encountered the man and started swearing at him. "What kind of a crazy bastard does this to the Saintess!"

Suddenly, she blinked in surprise. She had seen the man who was in front of her at the appraisal house. He was much more handsome up close. This was why Sophie got confused. 'W-Who is this guy? Why did a stranger act this way toward me?'

Ooh-doo-doohk!

"Whatever. Let's start this off by hitting you a couple of times."

"...!" The man had such a vicious smile that a chill ran up her spine. Sophie could only grit her teeth even as she shook from fear. She was one of the twelve Zodiac Saints. This man should be bowing to her, yet he was treating her like this.

The power of the Aquarius rose.

[Churning Blood Chalice(S)]

This skill made her opponent's blood flow backward. It was a killing skill of the Aquarius Saint. However, fireworks erupted behind Sophie's eyes.

Bbuh-uhk!

"Kuh-huhk!"

It was a fist. She had taken a hit to her stomach. She was in so much pain that she wanted to throw up. Sophie almost lost consciousness. To make matters worse, her defensive skill had been shattered.

"Huhk!" Sophie was sent flying to the ground. She couldn't even scream.

Displaying a bright smile, Lee Gun said, "It has been dozens of years. I hit you because I was so happy to see you."
