— can I hit you?

"Yoo Jonghyuk, can I hit you?"

"If you have the confidence." Kim Dokja formed a fist in anger as he heard a message as soon as he did so.

[ The character 'Yoo Jonghyuk' has used 'Steel defense Lvl. 5.' ]

He dropped his fist. 'cowardly bastard.'

"Are you finished?" Yoo Jonghyuk asked.

"..." Kim Dokja didn't say anything.

"Let's go." Lee Jin-oh flinched at her masters call but  quickly followed him.
...

Ji Hui had been reading thr diary he had gotten for that reward to pass the time as he had gotten bored when he felt pancake tense and then heard his name being called out.

"Hui."

It was Yoo Jonghyuk.

"Hyung?" Ji Hui tried to calm the tense Pancake by rubbing his almost non-existent fur but raised his eyes to meet with Yoo Jonghyuk's.

"I want you to come with me. I can't–ill explain the siuation in a bit." Yoo Jonghyuk seemed to want to say something but didn't.

He wanted to say he couldn't trust them to protect him but held back for now.

His voice was obviously much more gentle with Ji Hui so much so that even Lee Jihye had noticed it.

[ The Constellation 'Emperor of the abyss' doesn't want his incarnation to accompany him. ]

[ The constellation 'Secretive Plotter' says that incarnation 'Ji Hui' shouldn't accompany a weakling. ]

...

Ji Hui could see the windows that obviously didn't want him to go with Yoo Jonghyuk.

If not for those he might have agreed but his sponsor didn't want him to go and we'll he couldn't. Plus he could feel Kim Dokja's stare along withthe rest of the group.

"I can’t." Ji Hui said as he shook his head.

"why not?" Yoo Jonghyuk frowned at the rejection but didn't get upset at him which made Kim Dokja's lips twitch in anger.

"My constellation said I couldn't."

Yoo Jonghyuk frowned but he knew he couldn't force Ji Hui but he still didn't want to let him go after he found him after so long.

"Think about it. I'll be waiting." Yoo Jonghyuk stroked Ji Hui's head as smile a bit.

After a bit he turned and left as his face morphed back into its cold facade. Once Yoo Jonghyuk left Pancake seemed to have finally relaxed.

Everyone that had been watching couldn't belive it and shifted a bit. Lee Hyunsung and Yoo sangah were a but more suprised than others as they began speculating.

"Does Yoo Jonghyuk know him?"

"It seems so."

"But from where? Hui-ssi never mentioned him."

"I guess we might never know."

Kim Dokja had made his way next to Ji Hui once Yoo Jonghyuk was gone looking a bit suspicious. "What did he say?"

Ji Hui glanced at dokja who seemed like a gossipy grandmother at this point and ignored him.

Seeing that Ji Hui was not going to talk and was even ignoring him he moved on the topic. He wouldn't get answers out of him anyway.

At some point Jung Heewon had also woken up and got caught up on the 'gossip.'

"...What are these scum? Taking public facilities and making people pay to use them?"

"I'm going to go wipe them out all of them!" Jung heewon was determined to wipe out the scum of the stations as she thought.

"Not possible." But Kim dokja shot her down quickly.

"If we combine out strength we can win. Wasn't that the case for Gunho station?"

As long as her opponents were deemed 'wicked', Jung Heewon's judgement time peaked to the highest power.

But well the constellations didn't think so.

[ The character 'Jung Heewon' has activated the exclusive skill 'Judgement time.' ]

[ The constellations of absolute good system are silent at Jung Heewons request. ]

[ The Skill had been canceled. ]

Jung Heewon was filled with obvious confusion. "No, this...what? Is it broken?"

She tried to activate the skill again but it wouldn't activate nor trigger no matter how much tried. "No,...why isn't it activating? aren't they obviously wicked?"

"That's just what humans think."

"But that's.." Jung heewon was confused.

"Our concept of 'good' and 'evil' might be different to what constillations belive is 'good' and 'evil'."

"Ah.."

"Sometimes justice isn't just the majorities opinion." Kim Dokja said.

Ji Hui listen from the side and agreed. He saw how some people idolized his uncle even though he did something sick saying that they wished someone would go that far from them.

It had made him sick.

"What the.." Jung heewon was obviously dejected at that though.

"But it's not like there are no other options." Jung heewon looked up in suprise as the rest of the group also looked toward dokja.

"huh?"

"It's tricky but there is one day to take them down."

"Which is?"

The group listened to dokja closely but Kim Dokja wasn't looking at them but toward Gong Pildu. "It's for Gong Pildu..."

"To come out his 'Armed zone.'"

This was the only option of defeating them.
