Episode 7 – Landlord (3)

Yoo Jonghyuk was looking at everyone except for Lee Hyunsung. The three remaining people were standing together and I couldn't figure out exactly who Yoo Jonghyuk was looking at.

「...How is this possible? 」

Who was he looking at? I wanted to ask but I was afraid that my skill would be exposed. Yoo Jonghyuk still didn't know that I knew him.

However, I guessed that he might've seen the information of Jung Heewon. Jung Heewon saw Yoo Jonghyuk's gaze and confronted him.

"What are you looking at?"

「······.」

Good job, Jung Heewon.

「 Kill... 」

"Yoo Jonghyuk." I quickly opened my mouth. "I was wondering about one thing."

He turned to look at me. His eyes were questioning.

"Why are you leaving Gong Pildu alone?"

"If you are a prophet, you should know."

"I don't know everything."

To be exact, I didn't remember everything.

[The character 'Yoo Jonghyuk' has used the 'Lie Detection' skill.

[The character Yoo Jonghyuk has confirmed that your words are true.]

He was thorough.

"...Indeed, I see. A prophet whose level of 'future sight' is low."

Think what you want.

Yoo Jonghyuk continued speaking.

"I need Gong Pildu alive."

"Is it because of a future scenario?"

Yoo Jonghyuk didn't answer. It was like he was trying to gauge the information I knew.

"I know that you need Gong Pildu for future scenarios. But you only need Gong Pildu. You don't need the entire group that follows him."

「······.」

"Isn't it your style to remove what you don't need? Why are you just leaving them?"

「...How annoying. 」

What?

"I have a lot to do." Yoo Jonghyuk stared at me quietly and said, "You will never understand."

"Wait! That isn't the problem. If you don't move now, most of the humans in Chungmuro will...!"

Yoo Jonghyuk's eyes were cold.

"It doesn't matter."

I wasn't a humanist. I didn't believe that everyone in this world was worth living. The thing that was making me angry right now was Yoo Jonghyuk.

"Yoo Jonghyuk. Can I hit you?"

"If you have confidence."

I angrily formed a fist as I heard a message.

[The character Yoo Jonghyuk has used 'Strong Self-Defense Lv. 5'.]

I dropped my fist. Cowardly bastard.

"Are you finished?"

"..."

"Let's go."

Lee Jihye flinched at Yoo Jonghyuk's call. Lee Jihye, who belated followed Yoo Jonghyuk, looked at me with confused eyes.
