Chapter Five: The Second Demon, Burn Corpse

On this particular night, Lee Do-jun was in a state of utter confusion, as the terrifying anger completely consumed his sanity.

He himself was unaware of the dreadful and sorrowful emotions that accompanied him as he departed from the educational center and returned home.

On the journey back, his mind was filled with relentless replays of scenes involving Alexander and Jin Ji-ya.

Anger, jealousy, shame...

Various emotions, akin to wildly growing weeds, spread rampantly within his heart.

If he were able to perceive, he would discover that the dark side within him had manifested into a raging demon, burning fiercely behind him, akin to flames!

Adulterers!

I will not let you off!!

I'll make them pay! I'll kill 'em both, mark my words!

He angrily pushed open the front door, only to be greeted by a foul-smelling towel, held tightly over his mouth and nose by a large hand!

Within seconds, he went limp, unconscious.

In the corner of his eye, he seemed to faintly see the faces of Alexander and Jin Ji-ya.

Bang!

Then, Lee Do-jun collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

"You've gone mad! Do you really want to kill him?!!"

Lee Do-jun hadn't misheard. In his room, indeed, were both Alexander and Jin Ji-ya. Jin Ji-ya wore a shocked expression, mixed with fear!

Subconsciously lowering her voice, Jin Ji-ya spoke up.

She never expected that after the humiliation Lee Do-jun faced at the academy, Alexander would still bring her to Lee Do-jun's house, waiting for him to return!

At this moment, her heart was filled with overwhelming fear in the face of everything before her!

Was all this necessary?

If discovered, not only would Alexander be caught, but she would also be an accomplice!!

"Mr. Alexander, he has already fainted!"

A bodyguard in a black suit crouched down, tossed aside the towel in his hand, and checked Lee Do-jun before speaking.

He was Jin Soo-ya's bodyguard.

After all, in places like South Korea, where class divisions were deeply ingrained, there would always be those who resented the conglomerates. Hence, capable conglomerates would have security companies to protect themselves and their families.

As well as to handle some dirty work!

"Very well, you may leave now!"

Alexander nodded in satisfaction.

Indeed, professional matters should be left to professionals!

"If you need us, call anytime!"

The two bodyguards exchanged a glance, then left without asking further questions.

Those in their line of work knew what to ask and what not to ask.

Hadn't Jin Soo-ya's only precious sister been following Alexander around? Perhaps this man would be the future helmsman of the Kim family!

"What exactly do you want?"

Jin Ji-ya's anxiety reached its peak, especially when she saw Alexander pull out a small knife from his pocket.

"Rest assured, I won't kill him!"

"On the contrary, I will grant him incredibly powerful abilities!"

Alexander chuckled lightly.

However, seeing the unhealed wound on his finger, he felt a headache coming on. It seemed he needed to acquire a healing ability as soon as possible.

With determination, he inflicted another wound, causing fresh blood to flow!

Not wasting any time, Alexander immediately used the blood to draw a sinister demon symbol on Lee Do-jun's forehead!

Hah!

Lying on the ground, Lee Do-jun suddenly opened his eyes, revealing pure white pupils without irises, and tilted his head back!

From Alexander's perspective, unseen by anyone else, the demon behind Lee Do-jun turned into black mist, crazily pouring into his body!

Although nothing could be seen, Jin Ji-ya still shrank back in fear, taking two steps backward!

But at this moment, the Book of Demons was already before Alexander, flipping through its pages with an illusion that only he could see, revealing a prompt:

[Thou hast successfully transmuted the target into the Burn Corpse!]

[Thou hast obtained the Burn Corpse's mightiest ability: Flame Mastery!]

[This power allows thee to command flames, even the most wicked ones from the depths of hell, to heed thy bidding!]

[Thou canst issue commands unto it or exact punishment through the Book of Demons!]

[Beware, for thy current relationship with the Burn Corpse is one of enmity; thy commands may go unheeded!]

"Let's go!"

After finishing all this, Alexander stood up and walked towards the door.

Is that it? Jin Ji-ya looked baffled. She had expected something much more gruesome, but was this all?

Is that it?! Alexander could see what Jin Ji-ya was thinking. A cold smile curled his lips.

No, my adorable litter girl, the show has just begun!

Stepping out the door, Alexander nodded at the two bodyguards. One of them took out a phone, dialed a number, then handed it to Alexander.

"Hello?"

He picked up the phone, and immediately, a fawning voice came through:

"Is this Big Brother Alexander? It's me, Che Yu Sheng. What can I do for you, Big Brother?"

"Are all four of you together?"

Alexander calmly asked.

"Yes, yes, we're all here!"

Che Yu Sheng sounded even more fawning, nodding and bowing on the other end of the line.

He had heard the news during the day that Jin Ji-ya was already Alexander's woman, indicating that he would likely become the helmsman of a conglomerate!

This kind of news spread very quickly in the academy!

"Very well, I want you to go and beat up Lee Do-jun again now. I will send you Lee Do-jun's address!"

"Don't disappoint me!"

He said.

"Big Brother, rest assured!"

Car Yu-sheng immediately thumped his chest and promised, "We'll definitely beat up Li Daojun so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him!"

Click!

And with that, Alexander hung up the phone.

Turning to the person behind him, Jin Ji-ya, he flashed a smile. "Come watch with me. The show is about to begin!"

"I'm curious to see just how strong a demon can be in human society," he murmured as he gazed at the bustling city, his eyes deep and mysterious.

"This determination will shape his future, guiding him towards either maintaining a discreet demeanor or unleashing unrestrained retribution upon the nefarious conglomerates and underworld syndicates!

And Lee Do-jun, he is but the pawn chosen to test the waters of these endeavors!"
