Princess Treatment (2)
This is not what I had in mind...
Earlier, he had offhandedly mentioned that he needed to kill goblins before they could be intimate. Although it was a remark to get Gina off him, she had taken it to heart.
In her mind, if YuWon wanted goblins dead, then she would kill every one of them to make him happy and get intimate with him as soon as possible.
However, that wasn't the only reason. Gina knew YuWon saw goblins as his enemies and she wanted to set herself aside from that category, that's why she was hunting any goblin that she saw despite being one herself.
I don't think those goblins had ever been this terrified in their lives.
Gina had an overwhelming aura. The goblins could sense her and when they did, they immediately fled.
Unfortunately, Gina was faster than them and it only took her a second or two to kill them, even if they had a head start. YuWon stood back, watching as she swiftly dispatched them one by one.
So much gold and experience wasted...
YuWon couldn't do anything but watch. He had tried taking part in the hunts, but Gina's growl made him change his mind for the better. He only hoped she could also level up like he did or else... he'd never forgive himself for standing idly.
"There, beloved," she said with a proud smile. "They're all gone. None of those filthy creatures will bother you anymore."
"Uh, thanks, Gina," YuWon scratched the back of his head, unsure of how to respond. "Also, I told you to call me YuWon—"
Ignoring his question, she leaned towards him and asked, "Do I please you, husband?"
YuWon sighed. He wasn't used to this kind of attention, but Gina insisted on giving him the princess treatment. However, it came at a cost, and that's why she was leaning forward, with her head bowed.
"Yeah, you did great," he said and patted her head awkwardly.
As he touched her, Gina's smile widened, as she was practically glowing with pride.
"I'll keep hunting them down until there are none left," she declared, clenching her fist. "All for you and our... future child."
"C-Child? You don't have to go that far," YuWon laughed nervously.
However, Gina wasn't listening. She was already scanning the area for more goblins to hunt, and was gone once she sensed them. As she took off again, YuWon sighed, watching her go.
Unfortunately, things were about to go south quick.
As they strolled around the campus, YuWon forgot that Jaehwan and his lackeys were moving around, looking for survivors.
Min-Joon and Soo-Ah had met them and asked them to look for him, to which Jaehwan graciously agreed.
Soo-Ah didn't know it, but Jaehwan had no intention of bringing YuWon to the auditorium. The only thing they wanted to do was take some built-up frustration out on him.
"Besides, no one will ever know what happened to him?" Jaehwan chuckled. "It's a monstrous world, after all. Anything can happen to anyone, especially that limping bastard."
"Of course, senior!" the lackey jumped up to lick his feet.
"Senior is always right!" the other did the same. "But... it's been a while since he encountered one of the monsters."
Jaehwan looked at the guy and realized he was correct. At first, the monsters appeared often. But it had been a minute since they crossed paths with any goblin.
However, as they turned a corner, they got to know why. The floor was littered with goblin corpses, and at the end of the corridor, YuWon was casually walking around.
The skinnier one among the lackeys noticed YuWon and immediately pointed towards him.
"Did… did he do all this?"
However, Jaehwan wasn't listening. His entire focus was on YuWon, who looked nothing like how Jaehwan remembered him. YuWon appeared more muscular, and he didn't limp like before.
"What the hell…?" Jaehwan muttered. "There's no way…"
"Are you sure that's him? YuWon was supposed to be weak, right?" the bulky one asked.
Jaehwan had told them that YuWon was a pathetic, weak guy who would be easy to bully. However, the man before their eyes looked nothing like Jaehwan had told them.
"Of course it's him!" Jaehwan snapped. "He's changed a bit, but that's no concern. There are three of us and only one of him. We can deal with him, so go!"
The lackeys hesitated for a moment, but then charged at him. If they could kill monsters, then dealing with a human would not be difficult.
However, as they got closer, YuWon ducked down, causing the lackeys to stumble forward. The lackeys couldn't control themselves and slammed against the wall in front.
"Fucking idiots," YuWon commented. "I couldn't see you, but even a deaf guy could hear your steps."
Watching them fail, Jaehwan shook his head in disbelief.
"Why do I even bother with these idiots?" he said. "I got to deal with him myself now."
"About time you showed up," YuWon smirked.
"What? You missed me?" Jaehwan retorted. "Although I gotta say I didn't expect to see you walking around like this. Hell, had it not been for your friends, I would have thought you were already dead."
"Friends? Oh, you mean Soo-Ah," YuWon shrugged. "I didn't think she'd be worried about me."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing, although you should leave," YuWon said dismissively. "If you want to live, that is."
"Leave? You think you can scare me with a threat?" Jaehwan laughed. "Just so you know, we can't kill each other."
YuWon frowned. Only a person who's tried to kill someone would know the rule.
"Have you killed someone, Jaehwan?"
"Kill? No, I haven't killed anyone," He replied, licking his lips. "But, you know, if a few defenseless girls happen to get found by monsters… then that's not exactly my fault, is it?"
YuWon's expression darkened. He knew what Jaehwan was implying, and it sickened him. However, by admitting to it, Jaehwan made things easier for YuWon.
Any doubts YuWon had about what he needed to do were gone. Jaehwan wasn't just a bully—he was a monster in his own right and as a monster hunter, it was his job to kill them, right?
Unfortunately, the blabbermouth didn't hold back and made things worse for him.
"You know, YuWon," Jaehwan continued. "Since your reputation is already in the gutter, why don't I make your life even more miserable?"
"Oh yeah? How will you do that?" YuWon smirked, knowing it was the last conversation Jaehwan would ever have.
"It's easy. If I tell everyone that you molested someone and got them killed, they'll believe me. That's what I'm going to do—ruin you completely before I let the monsters hunt you. That'll be fun!"
While Jaehwan said all those things, something felt off. The fucker had always been a bit unhinged, but this was too much. Even for Jaehwan.
"You're disgusting, Jaehwan," YuWon took a deep breath. "But you're right about one thing. Someone is going to die today."
