I Alone Resurrect Chapter 157

No Longer Human (2)

“I said I don’t want to.”

Ahn Yu-seong smiled brightly, and as he did so, Karl Heysers’s face grew increasingly stiff.

Karl looked at the mage who was using translation magic.

“Is the translation working properly right now?”

“Yes. It is…”

The mage said while trembling.

Karl’s face turned red with anger.

‘This lowborn dares…’

This fellow dared to make him, a royal, into a laughingstock.

It was a humiliating treatment he had never experienced in his life. Karl glared at Ahn Yu-seong with murderous intent.

“You dare… You dare to insult me!?”

“Insult? Why do you think that?”

“What…?”

“I never intended to leave the guild from the start?”

“Shut your mouth!”

Karl finally exploded and shouted.

“Sister. Why is this mister shouting? I don’t understand.”

Ahn Yu-seong said while snickering.

“Stop. If you insult the royal family any further, I’ll cut off your head.”

The royal knight standing behind Karl couldn’t hold back and drew his sword.

“Oh ho, cut off my head… That would be interesting too. Heheh.”

As the atmosphere became ominous, guild members who were training gathered around.

“Vice Guild Master. Is something wrong?”

“They’re supposed to be guests. What’s with this commotion they’re causing here?”

One after another, fierce-looking guild members gathered behind Ahn Yu-seong.

In response, the twenty knights who came with Karl also drew their swords and gathered around him.

A standoff between 20 knights and 50 guild members.

‘If we fight… We’ll probably lose?’

Ahn Yu-seong quickly assessed the situation.

Though the guild had numerical superiority, they seemed to be at a disadvantage in overall skill.

Moreover, the two in elaborate armor beside the prince.

‘Those two would be hard to beat even one-on-one.’

It seemed like those two royal knights could only be handled if Kang Hyeon came.

‘So what should I do now…’

A situation on the brink of explosion.

But to Ahn Yu-seong, this too was a kind of event.

Just as Ahn Yu-seong was considering how to turn this situation to his advantage,

Olien, who had been anxiously shifting her feet beside them, stepped forward.

“Brother… Fighting with them could cause problems.”

“Didn’t I tell you not to interfere!”

Karl raised his hand toward Olien.

‘Huff… I must endure.’

Karl desperately suppressed his anger.

Though born from a lowly maid, she was still a member of the royal family.

He couldn’t use violence against Olien in front of others.

Karl grabbed Olien and whispered in her ear.

“Be thankful you have even half royal blood. If not for that, I would have cut your head off right now.”

“I’m sorry…”

“Tonight. Come to my room.”

“Yes…”

Karl roughly pushed Olien away.

Then he looked at Ahn Yu-seong with a smile on his face.

“Haha. I see. I must have misunderstood since I’m not yet familiar with this place. All of you put away your swords too. What trouble am I causing in a foreign country?”

At Karl’s words, the knights withdrew and sheathed their swords.

“It seems my business here is done, so I’ll take my leave.”

At Karl’s words, Shin Seong-ah guided him outside.

“Goodbye.”

Ahn Yu-seong smiled and waved while watching them.

Karl felt anger rising again but desperately suppressed it.

“You all rest well too.”

Though he forced a smile, he couldn’t hide the slight trembling at the corners of his mouth.

As soon as Karl left, Ahn Yu-seong erased his smile and became serious.

“Tonight, huh…”

“Ahh! That was clean!”

After ending the broadcast, Kang Hyeon stretched with all his might.

“Let’s see… Has it already gotten this late?”

After defeating Beha Kulsa at dawn and returning to handle the remaining work, it was already late afternoon.

“Going back to Korea, whew, just thinking about it makes me shiver.”

Today on the road, thanks to Eden, we flew straight to Florida without going through other cities.

Even so, it took more than 12 hours.

He couldn’t even guess how long it would take to return home while stopping by various cities.

“Should I ask Eden for another ride?”

Kang Hyeon secretly glanced at Eden.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Eden. Don’t you want to go back to Korea? Didn’t you say you needed to establish some branch there?”

“No. Right now I have too much work piled up in America. I’ll go to Korea in a few weeks.”

“Tch.”

Kang Hyeon clicked his tongue and sighed.

“Guess I’ll just have to go.”

Anyway, he had more money than he knew what to do with.

Taking first class wouldn’t be too uncomfortable.

“I can deal with a bit of boredom.”

Just as he was thinking that, Kang Hyeon’s phone rang.

“What’s up?”

-Brother. Are you done with work? I saw you were live streaming a little while ago.

Ahn Yu-seong’s voice came through the phone.

“Of course. Who do you think I am? I wrapped it up spectacularly. Hehe. You’ll faint when you hear how much I made this time.”

-How much did you make?

“100 million dollars. Dollars! Hahaha! I’m rich, I’m rich!”

-Oh. You made quite a bit. Why don’t you change that junker you drive around in?

“Quite a bit? QUITE A BIT? This kid, showing your silver spoon upbringing with that weak reaction! And what’s wrong with my Bentley! It runs just fine!”

When Kang Hyeon got angry, Ahn Yu-seong chuckled.

“By the way, why did you call? Are you bored again?”

As the Badass Guild became famous, people thought Kang Hyeon would be busier, but surprisingly, that wasn’t the case.

Since Han Jae-moon handled most of the guild’s work, Kang Hyeon just went back and forth between the training grounds and dungeons like before.

As this situation continued, Ahn Yu-seong and Shin Seong-ah would occasionally whine about being bored.

-That’s not it. Something came up.

“Something? What is it?”

-Can you come to Korea quickly?

Ahn Yu-seong didn’t answer Kang Hyeon’s question.

“Well… Earliest would be tomorrow evening? Not sure. Might be later.”

-Hmm… That won’t work.

“Why? What’s going on?”

Kang Hyeon asked with a frown.

-I think Sister Olien might be in danger.

“What? What do you mean? Don’t tell me those bastards backstabbed her?”

Kang Hyeon thought they might have approached Olien again from America while he was gone.

-That’s not it. This time Sister was supposed to meet with someone from her Kingdom, right? There’s been some trouble there.

Ahn Yu-seong explained everything he had seen and heard to Kang Hyeon.

Of course, there was some exaggeration in the process.

“That bastard deserves to die!”

-That’s what I’m saying. If you don’t come today, Sister Olien might be in danger. I saw bruise marks earlier and it looked serious.

“He’s dead when I get back. Tell him to just wait!”

Fire burned in Kang Hyeon’s eyes.

‘He had to lay hands on that small girl because he had nothing better to hit?’

Olien was a year younger than Kang Hyeon, which made her twenty-eight in Korean age.

While not particularly young, her small and cute appearance, combined with her bright personality, made her feel like a real younger sister.

This wasn’t just true for Kang Hyeon, but for other guild members as well.

Thinking of Olien, who had become the guild’s mascot in just a few days, Kang Hyeon clenched his fist.

“I need to get back quickly…”

After pondering for a moment, Kang Hyeon made a phone call to someone.

Choi Si-hyeon was one of the executives running Korea’s largest black market.

“These days there’s nothing interesting happening.”

Sitting in her office, Choi Si-hyeon recalled recent events.

“Kang Hyeon… He was an interesting person.”

Kang Hyeon, who kept her on edge the entire time they were together, and ultimately caused trouble that tired her out.

But strangely enough, that final moment wouldn’t leave her mind.

“Sometimes it might be nice to hang out together…”

Muttering this, Choi Si-hyeon jumped in surprise.

“What did I just say!? I must be crazy. Haha!”

While Choi Si-hyeon was doing everything by herself like this,

Her phone rang.

“This isn’t my work phone? Who could it be?”

Her personal phone that she used privately.

The ringtone was coming from there.

“Kang Hyeon…?”

In a brief moment, countless thoughts crossed her mind.

‘Should I answer? It might be troublesome… What if he causes trouble if I don’t answer? What should I do?’

The deliberation was short, and the action was quick.

“Hello. This is Choi Si-hyeon.”

-This is Kang Hyeon.

“I know. What’s the matter?”

-That teleporting thing, what was it? Right. Let me borrow a portal just once.

The thought ‘I shouldn’t have answered’ crossed her mind.

“Why suddenly ask about the portal…”

-I’m in America right now, but I need to get to Korea urgently.

Choi Si-hyeon frowned at Kang Hyeon’s words.

“The black market isn’t meant to be used like that…”

Despite her fierce expression, her words were extremely cautious.

-How much would it cost!?

“Pardon?”

-I’m asking how much it costs! I’ll pay the fee. Please hurry, it’s urgent.

Choi Si-hyeon fell into thought.

‘If he’s paying, I could do it…’

The amount was the issue.

She was an executive in the black market.

Already making enormous amounts of money, it wouldn’t make sense to move for pocket change.

Moreover, any work involving Kang Hyeon carried substantial risk, regardless of what it was.

“How much can you offer?”

-100 million. Isn’t that enough for brief usage?

“100 million?”

Choi Si-hyeon’s eyes widened at the amount, which was larger than expected.

‘Not bad.’

The infrastructure for movement was already in place anyway.

Moving briefly to transport Kang Hyeon for 100 million was definitely good money.

-What? Not enough? Then let’s make it 200 million.

“No, no! 100 million is plenty!”

Taking too much compensation compared to the work could lead to trouble.

‘He must have a lot of money… I heard he was scouted to America, could it be true?’

Choi Si-hyeon wondered if Kang Hyeon was leaving Korea.

“Then I’ll arrange it right away.”

-Yes. What’s your exact current location? I’ll have staff waiting at the nearest black market entrance.

The hotel room where Karl Heysers was staying was spacious and luxurious, fitting its high price.

Karl, who was dining and dashing in such a hotel.

Originally, he should have been enjoying a pleasant evening without any worries, but today was different.

“You dare defy me in front of others? Do I look that easy to you!”

Karl slapped Olien’s cheek.

With a sharp sound, Olien’s head snapped to the side.

“Didn’t I clearly tell you not to interfere? Did you forget what you were taught in the palace so quickly? Or are you doing this knowingly?”

“No. I’m sorry…”

Eyes like those of a dead person, devoid of light.

Olien answered with eyes empty of any emotion.

“Is this all the attitude you can muster when apologizing!?”

Karl, breathing heavily, kicked Olien.

“What’s the reason? Did leaving the palace make you think the whole world was yours!?”

“No…”

“Or did you develop feelings because that arrogant bastard showed you kindness? Did you offer your worthless body to him?”

“That’s absolutely not true.”

Olien looked at Karl with a truly wronged expression.

“Then why!!!”

Karl screamed like a madman.

“You were always like this. Born from a lowly servant, yet not knowing your place and acting up. No matter how much I educated you, that never changed.”

Karl licked his lips and looked at Olien with eyes full of desire.

“This isn’t the palace… It might be good to give you proper education this time.”

Karl roughly grabbed Olien’s neck.

“Kuhek, kuk! So-sorry! Please!”

“Shut up!”

Karl slapped Olien’s cheek again.

“Stay still. Here, it’s just you and me. No one will care if you die.”

Karl’s eyes glinted with madness.

“If you don’t want news of your accidental death sent to the palace, you’d better stay still.”

Olien lowered her head at Karl’s words.

‘Let’s just give up…’

This was her limit.

She thought she had finally been freed after leaving the palace, but it was just an illusion.

‘Yes. Give up and accept it.’

Tears flowed from Olien’s eyes.

Seeing this, Karl’s smile became even more grotesque.

“Good! Stay just like that. Kuhehe. I was itching because I couldn’t bring my servant… But now I think this worked out better.”

Karl’s evil hand traced Olien’s chin.

“Your brother will teach you what real education is.”

At that moment.

Outside began to grow noisy.

“Ruining an important moment.”

Karl frowned briefly but soon turned back to Olien.

“The knights will handle it.”

He had given strict orders not to let anyone in here.

No one could disturb him, no matter who came.

That’s how it should have been, but the commotion showed no signs of settling.

Karl, whose mood was spoiled by the continued noise, jumped up.

“Haa… What on earth is it!”

At that moment,

-KWAAANG!

The hotel’s antique wooden door was smashed to pieces.

“It’s me! You son of a bitch!”
