Solo Resurrection

Chapter 92 – Father and Son (4)

“Let go of me! Do you think you’ll get away with this!?”

Chairman An Moo-seok struggled desperately. But the strong arms holding him didn’t budge an inch.

“Hey, Chairman An.”

Kim Jun-yong, who had been watching the scene impassively, approached An Moo-seok.

-Slap!

Kim Jun-yong struck An Moo-seok’s cheek without hesitation.

“Shut up. It’s all over now.”

At Kim Jun-yong’s signal, the men holding An Moo-seok forced him to his knees.

“Alexei. The preparations are complete.”

Kim Jun-yong spoke in Russian to a blue-eyed Caucasian man.

“Time is short, so start right away.”

“Don’t order me around, monkey.”

“What…?”

“Who are you to give orders, when you can’t even properly take over such a small country?”

Kim Jun-yong’s face hardened at Alexei’s sudden words.

‘If it weren’t for the Union Leader, I would have torn this bastard apart with one hand…’

In terms of pure strength, Kim Jun-yong was among the top in the Union.

In contrast, Alexei’s strength was average, yet his position in the Union was on par with Kim Jun-yong’s.

In Kim Jun-yong’s eyes, Alexei was nothing but a coward who had risen quickly through underhanded means.

Kim Jun-yong gritted his teeth inwardly but put on a smiling face outwardly.

Sometimes, one must lower oneself temporarily for the sake of the goal.

“Come on, Alexei. Aren’t we comrades in the Free Ability Users Liberation Union? I’m asking you.”

“Hmph.”

Alexei approached An Moo-seok with a frown, as if reluctant.

‘Free Ability Users Liberation Alliance, huh…’

An Moo-seok, who had been listening to their conversation, was lost in thought.

They seemed to think he wouldn’t understand because they were speaking in Russian, but they were mistaken.

An Moo-seok was fluent in six languages, and Russian was among them.

‘I need to gather more information first.’

There was no need to reveal himself here and now.

An Moo-seok continued to pretend he couldn’t understand them, keeping his head down.

“Then I’ll begin.”

At that moment,

Alexei, standing in front of An Moo-seok, began to mutter something.

‘What is this…!’

Simultaneously, a searing pain surged through An Moo-seok’s head.

It felt as if a long needle was stirring his brain.

An Moo-seok screamed at the pain he had never experienced before.

“Arghhhh!”

The extreme pain made him feel like he would lose consciousness at any moment.

-Give up!

A voice in his head kept telling him to give up.

-If you give up, it will be easier.

It felt like following the coercive yet sweet voice would free him from the pain, but An Moo-seok endured to the end.

“Urghh…”

“Hmm, this old man. Didn’t you say he wasn’t an ability user?”

“He’s an awakened one, but he hasn’t leveled up separately. He’s just an old man.”

“Then why is he resisting for so long?”

Usually, when magic is used on an ordinary person, mind control is completed within 3 minutes. But it had already been 5 minutes since magic was used on An Moo-seok.

“Strange. Is it because he’s a man who built a world-class company? Haha.”

But Alexei wasn’t worried. He believed in his magic. In fact, the end was starting to show.

“Urgh… Just kill me!”

An Moo-seok, who had been trembling, shouted with bloodshot eyes.

“You still have the strength to speak?”

Alexei brought his face close to An Moo-seok’s, as if looking at a strange creature.

“Just give up. The longer you resist, the more your mind will be devastated.”

“Ptui!”

An Moo-seok gathered his last strength and spat on Alexei’s face.

“Tsk, how dirty. Anyway….”

Alexei’s voice was no longer clearly audible.

‘I can’t take it anymore…’

This was the limit.

An Moo-seok wanted to rest comfortably.

As his head was lowering against his will and his consciousness was about to fade,

-Crash!

With the sound of something shattering, his consciousness returned.

At the same time, hot blood splashed on An Moo-seok’s face.

‘What’s this…’

An Moo-seok raised his head with difficulty. Then he saw his son descending from the sky, bathed in sunlight.

‘An Yu-seong…’

The son whom he had stopped considering as his son at some point.

The one he had essentially abandoned had come here.

For his sake.

“What are you looking at?”

That bold and cheeky tone.

Somehow, An Moo-seok felt like laughing at those words that seemed directed at him.

“Arghhhh!”

“Kill him!”

Soon, a massacre began.

‘Impressive.’

Over the years, An Moo-seok had watched countless battles between ability users.

He wanted to personally confirm how powerful ability users were.

Ability user versus monster.

Or ability user versus ability user.

He had watched tens, hundreds of battles on video, and even witnessed some with his own eyes.

Because of this, he thought he would no longer be surprised by ability users’ battles, but he was mistaken.

‘Overwhelming.’

An Moo-seok couldn’t close his mouth as he watched An Yu-seong’s battle.

It was on a completely different level from any fight he had seen before.

An Yu-seong’s combat was flashy, precise, and technical. No, beyond that, it even looked like a form of art.

‘I heard he was quite strong, but to think it was to this extent…’

He had already received reports about An Yu-seong.

Among them was a report stating that An Yu-seong’s combat ability was actually among the top in the country, just overshadowed by Kang Hyeon’s reputation.

‘So that was true.’

At the time, he had dismissed that report with a smirk, but now An Moo-seok had no choice but to acknowledge it.

In the blink of an eye, all enemies were down, and suddenly only An Yu-seong and Kim Jun-yong were left standing.

-Screech!

That’s when it happened.

Kim Jun-yong drew his weapon and began to unleash his magical power in earnest.

‘That’s dangerous!’

An Moo-seok knew the power of that weapon well.

Black magical power like a blade.

Before it, monsters and ability users alike were mere scraps of paper.

An Moo-seok unknowingly gulped.

-Slash! Boom!

Every time the stream of magical power grazed the surroundings, the terrain changed.

Overwhelming power.

An Yu-seong’s pale skin would surely be torn to shreds the moment it touched that dark energy.

An Moo-seok’s hands clenched tightly as he watched the tense scene unfold.

‘Please…’

Fortunately, An Yu-seong didn’t allow any critical hits.

But it was visible that he was getting more and more tired.

At this rate, he would collapse.

“What are you doing!?”

Suddenly, An Yu-seong rushed towards Kim Jun-yong recklessly. An Moo-seok, who was watching, almost screamed, but then he gaped in awe at the acrobat-like movements that followed.

‘He really surpasses imagination… But even if he approaches Kim Jun-yong, what can he do?’

Then, a familiar name came from An Yu-seong’s mouth.

“Hah, I didn’t want to fight like Brother Kang Hyeon…”

An Moo-seok wondered why Kang Hyeon’s name came up, but his curiosity was quickly resolved.

“Argh! You crazy bastard!”

“This is all I’ve learned!”

An appalling dogfight.

An Yu-seong unhesitatingly did things that might be considered cowardly, like biting his opponent and gouging eyes.

It was a sight that would naturally make one frown, but An Moo-seok rather liked it.

‘To win, one shouldn’t be picky about means and methods.’

Kim Jun-yong couldn’t hold out for long and collapsed.

When An Yu-seong thoroughly prevented the use of weapons and moved, he couldn’t withstand it.

“Urgh, urghh…”

“I won!”

Standing over the fallen Kim Jun-yong, An Yu-seong, covered in blood, roared.

And then An Yu-seong too collapsed face-first onto the ground.

“No!”

Surprised by this sight, An Moo-seok sprang to his feet.

“…”

Lying on the ground, An Yu-seong stared blankly at An Moo-seok.

A moment of silence passed.

“Ah, this is… Because I’m tired…”

“…”

An Yu-seong clumsily got up and sat astride the fallen Kim Jun-yong. An Moo-seok also sat down without a word.

A peculiar posture where they neither faced each other nor ignored each other.

‘What am I doing right now?’

That awkward standoff continued until Kang Hyeon arrived.

***

Ippotranslation

***

Kang Hyeon arrived at the entrance of the dungeon and frowned at the gruesome carnage spread out from the entrance.

Shin Tae-gil took a few photos and hurriedly made a phone call somewhere.

It seemed to be to arrange for cleaning up the scene.

“Let’s hurry inside.”

“Yes.”

There was no time to leisurely look around.

Kang Hyeon quickly made his way into the dungeon.

“This way!”

Fortunately, the place where An Yu-seong’s magical energy could be felt was not too far away.

Kang Hyeon hurried his steps, and finally found An Yu-seong there.

“You came?”

An Yu-seong was sitting astride the body of some man.

At a glance, he looked abnormal, bleeding all over his body.

“What? Is it all over?”

“Of course. I had a bit of a hard time this time.”

An Yu-seong’s face was overflowing with fatigue, something that couldn’t be seen usually.

“What’s that thing you’re sitting on?”

“Oh, this?”

An Yu-seong grinned and flipped the man over.

“Ugh…”

Kang Hyeon and Shin Tae-gil frowned and looked away upon seeing the man’s condition.

“It was tough catching him. But I’ve kept him breathing, so he should be fine.”

While the two were talking, Shin Tae-gil approached An Moo-seok.

“Chairman. It’s been a while.”

“Yes…”

An Moo-seok and Shin Tae-gil were acquainted. When the government requested Hyeseong Group to invest in and cooperate regarding ability users, Shin Tae-gil had moved personally.

Naturally, the negotiations had fallen through.

Although they weren’t close enough to greet each other warmly, they were at least aware of each other’s positions and importance.

“Are you alright?”

“Fortunately, I’m fine.”

That’s when it happened.

A coughing sound was heard from Kim Jun-yong on the floor.

“Ugh…”

“What? This thing was still alive?”

Kang Hyeon said, nudging Kim Jun-yong with his foot.

“Of course. We haven’t heard anything yet. Even if we kill him, we should interrogate him first.”

“That’s true.”

Nodding at An Yu-seong’s words, Kang Hyeon lifted Kim Jun-yong.

Lifted like a child with one hand, Kim Jun-yong groaned.

“Urgh…”

“Sigh, thinking about the unnecessary trouble because of this bastard…”

As Kang Hyeon was examining Kim Jun-yong like this, he suddenly frowned.

“But you know what? I’ve been feeling this since we first met, but isn’t this guy’s magical energy a bit strange?”

“Hmm… It does seem different from ordinary ability users. The amount of magical energy is abnormally high too.”

“There’s some kind of smell to it.”

“Urgh…!”

Kim Jun-yong, floating in the air with his collar grabbed, continued to struggle.

“Kang Hyeon. Put him down. He’ll die at this rate.”

“Alright.”

Kang Hyeon threw Kim Jun-yong to the ground like throwing away trash and folded his arms.

“Hmm, I wonder what this guy’s true identity is?”

“Have you already forgotten? He’s the guild master of Kangshin Guild.”

“Who doesn’t know that? There must be another identity. Like a mastermind or something.”

“Do you think he’d answer right away if you ask that?”

Shin Tae-gil looked at Kang Hyeon with a pathetic expression.

“Geez. Why are you being so critical? I’m just asking!”

After glaring at Shin Tae-gil for a moment, Kang Hyeon continued his questioning.

“So, who are you, man?”

“Heh… Just kill me. Do you think I’d open my mouth because of this?”

“Don’t worry about dying. But I need to know what I’m curious about before that.”

At Kang Hyeon’s words, Kim Jun-yong looked at him as if he was crazy.

“Kang Hyeon. If it’s about his identity, I have a few guesses.”

“Oh really?”

Shin Tae-gil rubbed his chin in thought for a moment before continuing.

“Globally, the number of ability user criminal organizations is increasing. Among those influencing the Asian region, there are groups like the Chinese Federation, Free Ability User Liberation Alliance, and such.”

“Wait.”

An Moo-seok raised his head after hearing Shin Tae-gil’s words.

“I heard what they were saying. They mentioned the Free Ability User Liberation Alliance.”

“How did this old man…!”

Kim Jun-yong glared at An Moo-seok with wide eyes at his words.

“Did you think I couldn’t understand that much?”

Kim Jun-yong was discouraged but quickly regained his composure.

“Hmph. It doesn’t matter. Knowing that doesn’t change anything.”

“Yeah, yeah. I got it, so just shut up for a bit.”

Kang Hyeon struck the back of Kim Jun-yong’s head.

“Gah!”

“Kang Hyeon! He’ll really die if you do that.”

“Ah, don’t worry. I’m controlling it, I tell you.”

Kang Hyeon waved his hand dismissively as he spoke.

“Heh, hehehe…”

Suddenly, Kim Jun-yong started laughing as if he had lost his mind.

“What now?”

“You… I wonder how long you can stay so arrogant? Huh?”

Kang Hyeon frowned at Kim Jun-yong’s sudden words.

“What nonsense are you spouting?”

“Acting all high and mighty because you’re a bit strong in your little pond. You’ll pay for it soon. I’m just the beginning. Be careful.”

Kim Jun-yong said with a sneer.

“This guy’s gone crazy.”

“When the Alliance finds out what you’ve done this time, they’ll definitely seek revenge. Maybe even the Alliance leader will come personally. Then, no matter who you are, absolutely…”

Kang Hyeon reached out and grabbed Kim Jun-yong’s cheek.

“Yeah, yeah. Thanks so much for the advice. But you know what?”

“Urgh!”

“No matter what you guys do, I won’t lose.”

An Yu-seong frowned upon hearing Kang Hyeon’s cheesy line.

“Come on, I did all the work, why are you showing off?”
