The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Chapter 46 - Wait a Moment

Lee Gun was taken aback. For a moment, he wondered if he had heard wrong. 'No, I didn't hear it wrong.' He came to that conclusion when he looked at Chun Yooha's expression.

Chun Yooha still had that expressionless face that he had first encountered when meeting her. However, the light in her eyes was a different story.

'I think she's serious.'

It was very hard to read Yooha's expression. So, Lee Gun couldn't tell if she was joking or not. The only thing he could read was the light in her eyes. If he had to make a comparison, right now, she looked like a dog staring at a human eating food...

Lee Gun was in an awkward position. "Yooha."

"Yes?"

"Mmm. All right! Uncle heard nothing..."

"Please marry me!"

"..." Lee Gun had wanted to pretend as if he hadn't heard her. However, she made sure to shoot down that idea. He then said, "Yooha."

"Yes."

"I didn't get to properly introduce myself to you. I'm your father's friend..."

"?" Chun Yooha tilted her small face in puzzlement. Her expression said she didn't think this was relevant.

"Your body is around the same age as mine, right?"

"..."

That wasn't the problem. In fact, Lee Gun was probably younger than Yooha in terms of how old his body was.

He knew that he could point out she was his friend's daughter, but he didn't think that reasoning would work on her. Therefore, Lee Gun seriously said, "My... My mental age is—"

"It's fine. In terms of mental age, my dad is younger than me."

That was true, but...

"..." In the end, Lee Gun realized he wasn't going to get through to her, so he asked for help from her dongsaeng.

However, Sungjae seemed shocked by his sister's words. He had been staring at her the whole time.

"Hey, Sungjae. Say something..." Lee Gun shouted.

"Wow! I'm so jealous that you're a woman."

"..."

'What the fuck is wrong with them!' Lee Gun wanted to shoot laser beams with his eyes. 'Oh Taeksoo, you bastard! How did you raise your kids?'

'What did he tell his kids? Why did they grow up this way?' Even the mighty Lee Gun started to sweat, a rare sight.

Lee Gun's reaction was understandable. Hugo adored his daughter so much that he had hidden her pictures from Lee Gun. He had tried to prevent a meeting between his daughter and Lee Gun. If Hugo were to learn of the incident that was taking place right now, he might try to stab Lee Gun as the latter slept.

On the other hand, Chun Yooha became serious after dealing damage to her uncle. Her reaction was due to a different problem, Lee Gun's abilities.

'He's completely different from the stories.'

After confirming that this man was Lee Gun, Chun Yooha had realized Lee Gun was significantly different from the version of Lee Gun that everyone knew about. 'I'm pretty sure they said Uncle was comparable to a B-rank User.'

Of course, both siblings had grown up listening to their father tell stories about Lee Gun's heroics, so their estimation of Lee Gun was higher compared to the other disciples. Still, they assumed he was at most an A-rank User instead of a B-rank one.
