"Ahh…! Damn, it hurts so bad!" said the voice of a grown man.
The man who was in his forties rose from his seat. His appearance was shabby with long hair that was left loose. It was obvious that he never take care of his messy-looking hair.
Glek..!
Ji Soo swallowed her saliva in fear. She already had a bad feeling when she saw the man staring straight at her.
"I'm sorry, uncle. Uhmm, I didn't do it on purpose. I was too careless. I'm so sorry," Ji Soo said as she stepped back.
"Hehehe… careless, huh?" the man chuckled while scratching the back of his head.
"Are you all right, Uncle?" Ji Soo asked. Somehow she still cares about a man who looks dangerous.
The man did not immediately answer Ji Soo's question. He walked over to Ji Soo while playing with the drink can he had crushed earlier.
After being close to Ji Soo then he threw the drink can to the side.
The sound of the clanging was unavoidable, and at that moment, Ji Soo realized that the man who was so close to her was dangerous.
Ji Soo just turned her body, but the man was able to pull her body quickly.
"Where are you going!" said the man in a thunderous, sinister voice.
"Aaaarrghh…! Let me go!" Ji Soo screamed as loud as she could when she could feel two strong hands grabbing her waist.
"Where are you going! Wow… it smells so sweet. How about you accompany me tonight, young lady?" said the man.
He strengthened his hands even more and continued to hold Ji Soo's waist, hugging her from behind until he could smell Ji Soo's fragrant hair.
"What are you doing! I can scream!" Ji Soo struggles in a man's arms with a scent that makes her want to throw up.
It's not just the smell but there's the smell of blood that makes Ji Soo suddenly feel unbearable nausea.
"I prefer prey that screams in fear! Scream! I really like it… hahaha…!" The man's laughter boomed, making Ji Soo feels goosebumps.
The man's hand began to aim at Ji Soo's face so that it almost covered part of his face.
When Ji Soo had opened her mouth and was ready to scream. It was then that she realized that she couldn't make a sound at all. It was as if something was caught in her throat, making her voice choked.
"What's wrong with me? And why… my body! My body can't move at all!" thought a frightened Ji Soo.
Someone called out to Nam Joo Hyuk in a defiantly loud voice. But Nam Joo Hyuk's response was too flat. Even he gave a scornful look.
"How dare you take my prey!!"
"I should be the one saying that. How dare you bother her?! Ahh, you must be that who ran away, right?" Nam Joo Hyuk strode casually, but there was such a sinister aura as he gave him a cruel look.
"Where are the guards? Hhh..!" Nam Jo Hyuk walked while spreading his arms to the side.
Nam Joo Hyuk's hands are getting bigger and hairy shape. Sharp nails that can slash human flesh viciously.
"You ..?" The man stepped back in fear, no longer showing his sinister-looking fangs.
"I shouldn't have taken care of rats like you. But since you've interfered with mine. Then I have to destroy you immediately," Nam Joo Hyuk smiled as he bared his dangerous canines.
"This energy is different from the guards who chase after me. This energy only belongs to nobles. Could it be… he…" The man kept a safe distance from Nam Joo Hyuk.
He kept thinking about how to escape from the man who seemed dangerous to him.
"Don't even think about running. You'd better turn yourself in until the guards pick you up," Nam Joo Hyuk tried to show his pity.
"Tch!! I don't need your concern! I will kill you! YOU THINK I'M SCARED!" The man who was taller than Nam Joo Hyuk started to attack at a fast pace.
"YOU'LL DIE! FEEL THIS!!"
The man had already jumped high as he aimed one right hand with a sharp fingernail. He was well prepared to attack Nam Joo Hyuk was still standing and had not put up any resistance at all.
"Hhh… so stupid. Even though I was generous," said Nam Joo Hyuk with a straight look at the man who was very close to him.
But what happened next was a surprise.
DUARRR...!!!
The sound of the explosion was so loud and booming. The dazzling white light mingled with the dense smoke of dust.
The thick puff of smoke began to fade and at that very moment, there was an even more astonishing sight.
Nam Joo Hyuk wasn't hurt at all. A vicious stare with eyes turning red. He had just dealt a crushing blow to the man who was about to attack him just now.
The bad man lost badly when he was lying with Nam Joo Hyuk on top of him. Not only that, but Nam Joo Hyuk managed to make a crushing blow that penetrated the heart. Fresh blood flowed from the man's body.
"Damn it! You got my hands dirty!"
Nam Joo Hyuk withdrew his hand immediately as he straightened his body quickly.
"Huk… huk…! Please, I don't want to die… huk… huk… you… who are you?" The man coughed while enduring the pain as he only had a few seconds to ask.
"You go to hell," replied Nam Joo Hyuk with a face that was so flat.
At that moment the man no longer spoke. Even though his eyes were open, his whole body was no longer moving.
A group of people in black robes had just arrived. They were shocked at the chaotic scene and knew that Nam Joo Hyuk was using his powers.
"Prince Nam?" said a man who walked towards Nam Joo Hyuk while bowing respectfully.
"Why do you guys take so long to catch mice like this. Hurry up and fix everything! Don't let humans see it," Nam Joo Hyuk ordered firmly.
"Yes, Prince Nam," said the guard while watching Nam Joo Hyuk walk towards Ji Soo who was still lying down.
Nam Joo Hyuk easily grabbed Ji Soo's body. He carried Ji Soo in a tight hug. Nam Joo Hyuk's gaze turned sad because it was Ji Soo who was hurt.
"Even though I already marked you. No one should have dared approach you," he said in annoyance.
Nam Joo Hyuk turned his body while looking at the guard who began to approach the body of the man lying and lifeless.
"How did he escape, Lee?" asked Nam Joo Hyuk.
"He managed to deceive the guards who would take him to the detention city. We suspect that someone inside helped him to escape," explained Lee.
"Hmm…? Get all this done! QUICK! And Lee?"
"Yes?" Lee straightened his face to see Nam Joo Hyuk who was still holding a woman he didn't recognize.
"I will treat this woman. Make sure no one finds out about her whereabouts,"
"But… your father will…" Lee looked doubtful at Nam Joo Hyuk's orders.
"No buts! Do as I say. My father will be my responsibility!" Nam Joo Hyuk had already turned his body. He didn't give Lee a chance to disobey his orders.
"Don't worry, Ji Soo. I'll make sure you're safe," said Nam Joo Hyuk.
