Chapter 16
“Be a bit more careful.”
Lee Jae-kyung scolded Go Johan as if giving him a reprimand.
Early in the morning, only the two of them were in a corner of the school flower bed.
“Or did you do it on purpose?”
There was a reason for Lee Jae-kyung’s reprimand.
Last night, Shinsung was in an uproar again.
-Who is this?
-Is this a new idol?
A single photo posted on SNS.
-Huh? This is Go Johan, a 2nd year middle school student at Shinsung.
-A middle school student? Hahaha
-Nonsense, that’s impossible. A 2nd year middle schooler at a club, with tattoos, white hair hahaha
-That kid has albinism. And Go Johan is the youngest at Shinsung.
-That Shinsung? I heard the kids from rich families there are on another level, it’s true lol
It was because of a photo taken at the entrance of a club.
“Why is everyone so interested?”
It was also the difference between Travania and Earth, which had different levels of civilization development.
“And a holy knight must always be upright.”
Go Johan’s words made Lee Jae-kyung chuckle.
“While you’re raising monsters like Seung-ah behind the scenes and hiding your power?”
“That’s not hiding, it’s just not revealing it.”
“Same thing.”
But Lee Jae-kyung knew.
That at some point, Go Johan deliberately left misunderstandings to push his family away.
Even if Go Johan had a cause, the world would find it hard to accept.
They might even curse him as a mass murderer.
‘The world believes what it wants to believe.’
Go Johan, who left himself in that arduous fight, was trying to get his family at Shinsung to push him away so they wouldn’t be harmed.
‘At times like this, he’s definitely a young child.’
Like a young child who has never been loved.
That’s when it happened.
“Johan. You were here.”
Kim Se-hyun, whose complexion was pale and haggard, approached and spoke.
“Then come to the faculty office later. Where do you think a student… Tsk.”
As Lee Jae-kyung stepped aside and spoke, Go Johan shook his head.
“I heard you were sick?”
Kim Se-hyun thought Yoon Seung-ah had roughly used her power and that he would be sick for a day or two.
“…I’m fine.”
Despite saying he was fine, Kim Se-hyun looked like he could collapse at any moment.
“…Did you go to the club yesterday?”
That’s what he wanted to ask.
Go Johan was about to answer.
“I’m sorry.”
With a face and voice different from usual, Kim Se-hyun spoke.
“I feel like you keep getting hurt because of me.”
“……”
“I won’t do that anymore. I’m sorry. I wanted to say this.”
A face that looked determined as if she had made a resolution.
After finishing those words, Kim Se-hyun quietly turned around and walked out.
It seemed he thought what happened to Go Johan this time was because of her.
Stagger.
As if she had a fever, Kim Se-hyun staggered.
But even so, she stood up straight and walked out.
-Boss, Sloth noona says she caught the tail.
Envy’s voice was heard from somewhere.
As expected of Yoon Seung-ah.
-Noona said she’ll take care of Choi Shinwoo and the kids who were there, so don’t worry.
They were the ones who swallowed the seeds.
They couldn’t just be sent back, but most of them were the bloodlines of those in power, so there could be problems.
“If Seung-ah said that, we can trust her.”
But there was no way Yoon Seung-ah would cause problems.
-Hmph, I can do well too!
“Yeah, I believe you.”
Go Johan, who smiled slightly, was about to move with an improved mood.
Rattle.
Go Johan’s cell phone rang.
-Let’s meet today.
The caller was Go Minjii.
She was his older sister with a 5-year age gap.

In front of the school gate after the end of the day.
Luxury sedans were lined up.
Considering the circumstances of Shinsung Middle School students, it wasn’t particularly special.
Among them, there was one particularly eye-catching vehicle, a red hypercar that was said to be difficult to drive on public roads.
Even so, as high-ranking players and guilds increased, it was quite familiar now.
Beep.
With the sound of the horn, seeing the face of the person who got out.
“Huh?”
“That person…”
They couldn’t help but have their attention drawn.
“Hey! Go Johan!”
“It’s Go Minji!”
Go Minji.
With the title of Shinsung’s daughter and her outstanding appearance.
The blood of Shinsung was strong.
It made sense considering that Go Jaehan of Shinsung, who was originally a prominent chaebol, had a love marriage.
But above all, the reason Go Minji was famous was.
‘The youngest American ranker.’
Despite being Korean and the daughter of Shinsung, she made a name for herself in the United States.
Although South Korea is treated as a powerhouse of players, it’s not really a credible statement.
The United States attracted players with its overflowing financial power when players first appeared, and the vast gates appearing on its vast land were a great driving force for the growth of players.
‘I want to go to the United States.’
Go Minji, who said she would study abroad when Go Johan was in elementary school.
As a player who awakened, she picked up a sword instead of a pen and literally went crazy attacking gates, making a name for herself.
Even if she was only in the top 100, being a ranker on American soil was encouraging.
“……”
Go Johan shook his head.
“Go Johan!”
Go Minji approached Go Johan, panting.
Family love that he never felt in Travania, an excellent mother, an admirable older brother.
But what he didn’t know was.
“Hey! Do you want to die? Why are you pretending not to know me?”
That having an older sister was more troublesome and annoying than he imagined.
“…Can you please be quiet for once?”
Go Johan whispered to Go Minji.
Smirk.
Go Minji smiled at him.
“Think about your own pathetic state, idiot.”
“……”
He could really guarantee it.
“You little punk, getting your photo taken at a club?”
If it weren’t for blood ties.
‘I would dismember…’
No, no.
He shook his head to erase the boiling emotions that seemed to be the influence of the curse.
“Ooh, look at this punk’s eyes.”
“Sigh.”
“Get in.”
If he wasn’t going to beat Go Minji to death, he had no choice but to follow her words.
“Oh goddess.”
“Your middle school 2nd-year syndrome, when will it go away? It’s been there since you were six.”
In the end, Go Johan got into Go Minji’s car and blankly looked out the window.
Vroom!
Go Minji’s car started with a roar.
“Have you been well?”
Smirking, Go Minji asked vigorously, not matching her appearance.
“When did you come back?”
“This morning. Do you know how surprised Mom was when she heard you went to a club?”
“…It wasn’t a club, it was a pub.”
Screech!
“Same thing.”
Go Minji stopped the car and spoke.
“Is something going on?”
“…No.”
There’s no way he could say it.
“You were always a peculiar kid. Even Yoon-soo oppa, who was a troublemaker, didn’t do as much as you.”
Go Yoon-soo.
It was the name of his second older brother.
Before Go Johan, the biggest problem child in the family was Go Yoon-soo.
“If you don’t like it here, tell me.”
Go Minji said.
“Do you want to go to the United States with me?”
Peculiar since childhood.
No.
‘Special.’
That’s how Go Minji thought of Go Johan.
Things that looked lonely and desolate, things that she could know as his immediate older sister.
That’s why she bullied and tormented her youngest brother even more.
“Think about it.”

“Did you have a tiring day?”
Yoon Seung-ah asked carefully.
“…My sister came.”
“…I heard, but.”
Yoon Seung-ah quietly played dumb.
It was because the way Go Minji treated Go Johan came to mind.
But she didn’t hate Go Minji.
“She’s a caring person.”
“I know.”
Next to them.
Swish.
A shadow flickered and a boy who looked about twelve or thirteen appeared.
But unlike his appearance, he held two curved daggers in both hands.
“Envy. I told you that you don’t need to step up.”
That boy was Envy.
Kim Si-on.
“I want to be of help to the Boss too.”
Kim Si-on said.
“…Even if you say it’s for protection, you’re just standing there blankly.”
Kim Si-on, a boy whose age couldn’t be determined, possessed a mighty power unlike his appearance.
A few years ago, when Lee Jae-kyung last measured his combat ranking, he was stuck at 3rd place.
“…If the leader tells me not to step up, I won’t.”
Envy had the skill to overwhelm even Lee Jae-kyung.
Of course, that was only considering Lee Jae-kyung’s revealed abilities.
“If someone sees me like this, I wouldn’t be able to say anything even if I get sued.”
Go Johan said with a chuckle.
“Child abuse, cult… I wonder how many charges there would be.”
“Were we abused? I don’t remember that. And a cult! Where!”
Envy puffed out his cheeks and spoke.
“Well, whatever.”
Regret or guilt was meaningless once the steps were taken.
In front of them, a flashy building came into view.
An appearance as if it was smeared with money, and large letters.
-Teraco.
That was the name.
“It’s a place that wields great influence in the Gangnam area.”
It was one of the places Yoon Seung-ah was already investigating.
“Choi Shinwoo directly received it from the guild master here.”
Yoon Seung-ah’s explanation was simple.
Teraco was a guild that had enough influence to be among the top 100 guilds and wielded great power in the underground of Seoul along with a few other guilds.
“……”
It was the same everywhere.
“Even though I erased them several times.”
He had the experience of erasing several guilds that were in the underground a few years ago.
It was because he found out that they had committed unacceptable acts, although unrelated to demons.
But they appear again.
“They are heavily involved in illegal activities, including drug trafficking.”
“The reason for leaving them alone until now?”
“I was checking how far they were connected.”
And now.
“I’ve confirmed it.”
Yoon Seung-ah said.
“For now, the rest are also a problem, but it’s certain that the seeds came from Teraco. Leader.”
Go Johan nodded.
Whoosh.
A faint light spread out and began to envelop the area around the Teraco building.
It was Yoon Seung-ah’s magic that erased the attention of the surroundings and blocked sight and sound.
Above all, this magic could deceive the eyes of many, including the Association, and the difference from Go Johan was.
‘Illusion.’
It wasn’t just concealing, but creating an illusion as if it were ordinary.
“Let’s go.”
