Vol 4 - 13

"Where is he?"

"I don't know."

Jeong Changin answered without hesitation but was immediately faced with Riegrow's stinging eyes. He sat opposite and clicked his tongue.

"Really. I'm not stupid enough to lie to your face in this situation, and Taeui isn't stupid enough to reveal his whereabouts in front of me even if it's just a shadow to get caught."

"....."

Riegrow silently looked at Jeong Changin and also seemed to realize that he would not be able to get the answer he wanted from him. Disappointment was evident in every beat of his hand tapping lightly on the armrest of his chair.

"He left with a new name and identity and I don't even know which name he's using anymore. He also said he would call me a few times a month but he didn't even make an appointment." days ago — To be honest, he probably didn't want me to be a stepping stone for you to track down his whereabouts."

Riegrow frowned at Jeong Changin's words. He looked at him as if nothing happened, but inside he couldn't help but feel cold. Even those words became dangerous now in front of this man. Jeong Changin wondered if the fingertips tapping on the handrail had added any weight.

Then he suddenly stopped. Jeong Changin really doesn't know what's on his mind right now. Riegrow fell silent. And when his eyes lifted up again, Jeong Changin could only receive it tremblingly. He knows well how scary it is.

"It seems like the only thing Tay has learned here is being bold......It seems like he used to talk loudly and say that sometimes he wanted to wring my neck." Riegrow smiled. Even though it was just a curl of the lips, the low smile did not carry a trace of joy. Jeong Changin smiled back calmly even though he knew it wasn't his real smile.

"Why are you so angry Rick? Aren't those just words that go in one ear and out the other? You don't even really hear those words anymore. Besides, there are people who gossip and you don't even care who actually said it or what it was."

Riegrow did not answer him, just like Jeong Changin said, there were many people trying to kill him, so such backbiting was not worth paying attention to. Riegrow pondered for a moment, then nodded and spoke absentmindedly.

"Yes, you're right."

He admitted those things but still muttered vaguely in an unconvincing tone. Riegrow fell silent again, Jeong Changin glanced at him.

"I want to wring your neck down...." Jeong Changin thought for a moment about Taeui's face and expression as he said those words, and he seemed to understand.

Jeong Changin raised his head and looked at him again. A strange feeling filled his mind, it was clear that the atmosphere around him was spreading a strange aura that frightened others, yet the expression on his face was extremely gentle.

His face seemed to smile – – Jeong Changin really wanted to be depressed.

Then suddenly Riegrow stared at him with curious eyes. Then he spoke softly but firmly.

"I won't use you as a stepping stone."

"Honestly, even if I kill you now, I will still find him. It will just be a little more difficult... There will be nothing for me to worry about because of him."

".... ....Thanks for that."

Jeong Changin said doubtfully and frowned slightly. As soon as he opened his mouth, he already guessed what he was going to say. And Riegrow said exactly what he had in mind before.

"So when I find Tay, no matter what I do to him, don't get involved. This is between me and him, not your business. And it's not fair if you meddling in this again, right?"

Jeong Changin was quiet for a moment. His dark blue eyes were fixed on him. It was a look that refused to give in or add or remove any conditions.

If Ilay Riegrow can find Taeui, Jeong Changin won't be allowed to interfere in anything, that's what he wants from him.

Jeong Changin glanced at him then sighed and finally nodded.

"You just do what you want."

Upon hearing Jeong Changin's answer, Riegrow nodded slightly as if satisfied. Seeing him slowly exerting force on his hands clenched on the table.

But in reality, even if Riegrow didn't mention this, Jeong Changin had no intention of getting involved in anything anymore. He is not foolish enough to interfere in other people's lives. Additionally, while Jeong Taeui likes letting other people into his life, he is the complete opposite.

He suddenly remembered a close friend of Taeui's recently. The very next day when Taeui left this place, he also came here. He said he was on his way to the office with a resignation letter and asked about where Taeui went. But in the end, he could only leave in frustration without getting the answer he wanted. He looked like he was much more haggard than Taeui . Looking at that young man's expressionless, venomous face, Jeong Changin clicked his tongue.

Where is that young man now?

While lost in the thread of memories, Jeong Changin shook his head and looked at the clock. The clock hands were pointing to a number past midnight, and dawn would soon appear. He sighed and returned to the original topic.

"By the way, what news have you received from Kyle?"

*********************

Jeong Taeui was not happy at all.

There are countless situations that make people feel unhappy. And in most of those unfortunate times, when time has passed and you look back, many times you will feel that those misfortunes were really normal and trivial.

Jeong Taeui knows that. Maybe in a few years when I look back, I will just think that this moment was just a mosquito, not worth paying attention to. Maybe at that time I would have frowned at the memory or mumbled for a few minutes as if telling a small story, but by that time the feeling of unhappiness was gone. I know, time will heal everything.

But even though I understand all that, I'm still not happy.

Even though I know that in just a few months, not a few years or even many years later, I'm not sure I will remember this unfortunate incident. But right at this moment, my heartache is unbearable.

The bad luck wasn't just because I had to wear a cast on my ankle in the middle of this hot summer. Foot odor and itchy feet are only secondary problems when wearing a cast. My bad luck is that my leg has a history of injuries and cannot be injured like that again.

I was forced to stay here while trying to leave this house because my ankle was seriously injured, but I didn't feel too bothered by it anyway.

Before that, I thought I had to leave here because of that old colleague. But the reality is that I don't hate this place either. On the one hand, being injured like this means I can stay here a little longer, on the other hand... this is also good.

I grabbed him by the neck and threatened him again.

"If you dare to go around and reveal that I'm here, those damn beautiful babies of yours will immediately be confiscated!"

I was able to enjoy a little more peaceful time by walking in the garden with my bandaged feet and taking a nap there for a while.

But I didn't expect that this mansion would also be where my misfortunes began.

Maurer is in the next room. Because the walls are thick enough to insulate sound, even if he was right next to my room, it would be difficult to hear any movement. So it's okay that he's right next to me. But this old colleague of mine is not a secret-keeper. And Jeong Taeui's misfortune was basically knowing him.

"Ah, she is so beautiful. How can there be such a beautiful and adorable baby in this world? Could that child be an angel who accidentally fell to earth? It was still falling into that lonely sleep, but as soon as I touched it, that baby became more radiant than any other flower in the world, it was so touching..."

I looked at Maurer as he continued to mutter nonsense next to me.

The crazy guy has lost his mind.

It's been an hour since he started saying those crazy words.

An hour ago, I was peacefully sitting on a lounger by the pool, playing nicely by myself. Every now and then I dip my feet in the pool and massage myself. Then every now and then a gardener would pass by and look at me with a big smile, I would also smile back at those smiles. And when Rita scolded the maids as they passed by me, I would smile at her too.

Those peaceful moments an hour ago were completely broken.

Maurer went out with Kyle this morning, but Jeong Taeui didn't care too much. It seemed that the day before, Kyle had promised to show Maurer a new gun he was developing, but due to problems from the company, it was delayed for a few days, until today.

I don't care much about anything right now, whether it's guns or weapons, I'm happy when Maurer has to go out in the morning, he says he won't put me in his sight anymore. .

If a person doesn't care about the person they hate, it's because they have a generous heart, so it seems like he's enjoying himself a lot.

Maurer returned alone in the early afternoon, while Kyle said he had to go back to work with an ecstatic expression. His dull face was red, his hair sticking into his eyes with a dull expression.

I think this guy is pretty good.

As I relaxed, my mind also became more at ease, so I talked to him kindly and asked a few questions at the same time. Like, has he found the person his younger brother is looking for? Even though it's none of my business, I was just a little curious.

Maurer looked at me with a blank face and quickly walked towards me. I was very surprised to see Maurer suddenly put his nose close to me and reflexively step back a bit, but Maurer didn't care about that, he sat down right next to me and grabbed my hand as if he didn't realize it learned that the person in front of him was Jeong Taeui.

"Ah, why is she so cute? From the first time I saw her, I was captivated. How can she be so beautiful and touching? If I see her again then I'm sure we could fall in love. Her smooth body, her shy grip, her seductive attack...., everything."

Jeong Taeui looked at Maurer who was so moved that he cried, he even had real tears in his eyes. I wonder what this means. If it wasn't for his "smooth body, grip, and mesmerizing attack", I would have thought that guy today met and fell in love at first sight with some girl at that test shooting range.

But what Maurer was admiring with all his heart was not the person, but the gun he saw today.

I know he's a gun fanatic.

The fact that he is such a gun addict that he likes to be alone happily with those weapons has spread throughout the branch since he was at UNHRDO. So that's nothing new anymore.

I'm speechless when it comes to the topic of guns, so I shrug my shoulders. I looked at Maurer with a horrified expression as I watched him squirm his ass and turn away.

It seemed like I sensed something strange. I don't know if it was because of his mood or not, but his groin looked swollen. Jeong Taeui blushed. It was a new fear that I had never experienced before.

I've heard horror rumors like this in the past, that there was a farmer living in the countryside who was sexually attracted to chickens. At that time, as soon as I heard those things, I thought, "Wow, in this world, anything can happen." with an indifferent expression, but now I deeply feel like it's not something that can only happen in the "world" out there anymore.

Doing so is too animalistic and inhuman, so what should I say now?

I didn't even look at Maurer and was just busy with random thoughts in my head. But Maurer was still alone, immersing himself in his fantasy world. Even when Jeong Taeui didn't pay attention, he continued to talk, talking regardless, talking happily.

Oh damn bastard. The title "crazy man" seems to no longer be enough for him, this perverted gun fanatic.

I slowly rubbed my arms that were covered in goosebumps, but I still felt so cold that my body trembled.

Maurer looked very happy, he looked like he was in a good and comfortable mood, he even held Taeui's hand tightly and smiled happily, exclaiming about today's fateful meeting.

I pushed his hand away from me, but this pervert has great strength, he normally doesn't look that strong, but now he refuses to let go of that hand and keeps holding my hand and shaking it. Jeong Taeui could only speak loudly to tell him to let go, but it seemed those words did not reach Maurer's ears, he was still immersed in the passion of love.

Finally, because I lost my strength, I gave up and had to sit next to him for the past hour with Maurer's hand still holding me tightly.

In fact, even though my ankle was still bandaged and I couldn't walk normally, I still didn't feel much discomfort. I can enjoy the peaceful feeling of being alone like this, but this sick guy sits next to me and keeps talking about things that I don't want to hear and don't want to understand.

Taeui is not happy.

"But I'm still not happy at all... she's 10 points and cute but I can't love her..... I still have to wait a long time to love her. Right now everything is fine but Kyle shook his head and said he couldn't give her to me now. They said it would take a year at most but how could I wait so long with a torn heart? "

With a face that looked like it was about to shed a liter of tears, Maurer cried sadly. I rolled my eyes at him. At least I was still very lenient with a little pity for him without saying what I really wanted to say.

But no matter how pitiful I was, I couldn't look at him normally anymore after having to sit here and suffer for the past hour. Gunfire, gunfire, gunfire....I just mumbled to myself.

People say that there are many types of people in the world, but why is it that all the people I have met even once, are all like this.

I lamented and shook my head, then stopped to think for a moment and continued to shake my head. But maybe people are like that. There are always at least one or two things that I can't tell anyone... And it's clear that this crazy guy holding my hand and crying doesn't seem to be aware of the things he can or can't do.

"If you want it that much, try asking Ilay."

How can I get this damn hand off me now, I thought to myself and muttered. Maurer suddenly raised his head at my words and looked at me strangely. It was clear that he looked like he had just cried, but now when I looked at his eyes, they were already dry...

Taeui looked at this guy suspiciously. Are all crazy people like this?

Maurer let go just as Taeui wished. After nearly an hour I was finally able to escape that hand. I let out a sigh of relief with my sticky hands.

However, even though I wanted to bend down to wipe my hands on the grass shaking under my feet, I couldn't. That's because as soon as Maurer let go of my hand, he clung to my shoulder again.

"What are you talking about?"

A faint light appeared in his eyes as he grabbed my shoulder and looked at me.

Taeui seriously thought about whether or not to throw him onto the grass. If it weren't for my injured ankle, I wouldn't have hesitated to do it. I sadly looked at the cast on my leg.

This crazy guy....

I've injured my ankle so I'm prepared for a bit of a slow recovery, so now I just need to stand up and kill this guy.

Throwing him into the pool would be nice, it would even help cool his head down a bit, that would be like me sacrificing myself for his sake.

Jeong Taeui grabbed Maurer's chin and smiled, then grabbed him and lifted him into the air. Maurer floated high in the air, curled his body in a semicircle, and then fell into the pool with a loud noise. A wave of water rushed up in an instant.

If I just looked at him I wouldn't feel it, even if I knew him well I wouldn't be able to see it - Maurer is a promising member of UNHRDO. After all, he is a talented person who had to undergo a rigorous examination in many stages.

The moment when Jeong Taeui grabbed him and threw him into the pool, he didn't immediately fall down.

"Ouch...-"

I clicked my tongue, but it was too late.

I was grabbed by Maurer and followed him with my head down to the bottom of the pool. Along with Maurer's last eruption of water, another wave that greeted me appeared in full splendor.

"....-"

Jeong Taeui rose vertically to the surface of the water like a ghost. Maurer also emerged a step later.

"I hate you, I hate you even more than before..."

"Oh what a coincidence, me too..."

The two of us shut our mouths in boredom. At the same time, I thought that this would be the first and only time the two of us were on the same frequency like this.

The pool is not very deep, when I swam to the other side, the water was about 2 meters deep. On the opposite side of Taeui's original seat, the water just reached the top of Jeong Taeui's head. I looked down into the clear water, my ankle in a cast clearly visible.

"Damn it. What about this? It's all wet because of you."

"Why do you blame me? You deliberately pulled me down first!"

"Then why don't you let go of your damn hand!"

I lifted myself out of the pool because it was a hot afternoon, so it wasn't cold, but my whole body was soaked. Water leaked from my casted ankle. I sat on the bench and stared at my foot, thinking about whether I should leave it out in the sun to dry or go to the hospital to get it cast again.

"But why ask Ilay? What do you mean?"

Maurer asked sullenly. He walked out onto the grass behind Jeong Taeui and began to undress and squeeze out the water. Taeui breathed a sigh of relief, he must have almost regained consciousness. I speak frankly.

"Ilay is the son of this family, you don't know?"
