He wasn’t sure what Chun Yeowun was talking about. The underground high-speed tram was not going to move until the Gate Warning was over. Since Jenam City was about seven cities away from their current locations, even the fastest route was going to take them at least two days to reach the location.
“Lord Chun Ma… I am not sure what you are talking about…”
“Bak Jongse.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“Take your mother and the girl from Ghost Illusion Clan to the hideout you spoke to me earlier.”
“Yes, my lord. How about you…?”
“I will return after three days at the latest.”
“I-I don’t understand. What are you…”
But before he could even finish his sentence, Chun Yeowun’s body immediately shot up into the air. It was not a stepping skill that Bak Jongse nor Huan Xia knew about. Huan Xia muttered with a shocked look, “Energy hover…?”
What Chun Yeowun just did was the legendary stepping skill, the energy hover. It was the highest level stepping skill that was higher than the air walk which required stepping on an invisible force field on the bottom of one’s feet to walk through the air. This skill allowed the user to fly at will by using a tremendous amount of energy to push oneself freely within the air. It was not something that even a supreme master stage warrior dared to try.
“…He’s not even human.”
She had only heard of legendary tales, but she had not expected it to be at this level. However, when Chun Yeowun’s body reached a certain height, something appeared and wrapped Chun Yeowun’s entire body.
‘What is that?’
It was a dark night and he was so high up in the air that it was not clearly visible what that was. At that moment, an ear-piercing bang was heard as Chun Yeowun shot out like a rocket through the air. Just like that, Chun Yeowun flew toward the southwestern direction and disappeared into the darkness. Huan Xia became dumbfounded and asked Bak Jongse, “W-what did I just see?”
The Gate Defense Headquarters within Simyang City’s City Hall. Just until while ago, headquarters had been in a serious state, but now they were filled with joy and were celebrating. Due to the Alpha being eliminated much faster than they expected, the Gate situation was about to be contained.
“Western D-12 Wall, no signs of an anomaly.”
“Western D-13 Wall, no signs of an anomaly.”
Monitoring agents reported the situation with enthusiasm. Most walls had no breach and stood strong, and the field commander Major Bu Hyundong also sent a report while ago that the outer area of the Western wall was in stable condition and would be contained soon enough.
‘Good!’
Wi Soyong, the officer in charge today was very glad. She was nervous that the Gate situation might become more serious, but it seemed it was going to be solved without much issue.
‘It was a C-Class, and I got through without any problems.’
She lucked out. Of course, there was an unknown Yulinian behind this fortune. Major Bu Hyundong reported that the man seemed to be an unregistered Yulinian, so she became curious about his identity.
‘I want to personally thank him almost.’
She was told that the Alpha Horned Jackal suddenly appeared in the west, specifically the E-3 Wall, but the man also appeared out of nowhere and had killed the Alpha with a single strike. If that was true, then the man was at least powerful as A or S-Class Gatekeeper.
‘Well, if he gained the Alpha’s core, maybe I will get a chance to meet him someday.’
The core was heavily sought after, so it was traded for a high price. Due to this, some Yulinians came to the city or the Defense Department to sell it. It was then when Wi Soyong was thinking about the mysterious Yulinian.
-BEEP BEEP BEEP
Radar detecting the airfield of the city suddenly began to ring. The young officer shouted quickly.
“Ma’am! You should look at this!”
The officer typed on the keyboard to zoom into the radar that showed up on the main screen. It was the radar that scanned the entire Simyang City.
Every soldier who was celebrating became tense and shocked. A red dot shown within the radar was flying through the Simyang City airfield with enormous speed, moving southwest. Wi Soyong became dumbfounded, then quickly shouted,
“Activate the Anti-Air Defense immediately!”
But before they could even make a move, the red dot was already outside Simyang City, and was gone from the radar. The speed was about 13, so it was incredibly fast.
“The target has passed Simyang City!”
The alert stopped as the target was gone from the radar. All soldiers within headquarters sighed in relief. If this mysterious flying object stayed within Simyang City, it was a code red alert emergency. Wi Soyong lost energy to stand, and fell to her chair as she mumbled, “W…what was that anyway?”
There was someone moving through the streets on the Public Security Bureau’s SUV. They were Bak Jongse, his mother Kin Oyun, Moyong Yimyung, and the Ghost Illusion Clan’s successor Huan Xia and the clan member from the prison. Bak Jongse was talking to someone on his smartphone while driving through.
“Yeah, I know. So empty my room and Hojung’s room.”
-Oh my god. Can you even tell me who that man is? Starting with Director Yoon, and now you…? Kin Jongse, you sure must know who this man is, right?
“Forget it. It’s better you don’t know.”
-Ugh. You know Hojung doesn’t say like that to me, right?
The man Bak Jongse was talking to was the man at the hideout they were going right now. It was the location where Six Road Toy’s mission teams were residing when they were off-duty and had a civilian bunker system. The Gate Warning was still in effect, so that was why Bak Jongse was moving to the place.
“If the man you’re talking about snaps his finger, you’re as good as dead. Don’t even think about him if you don’t want to die.”
