Chapter 28: A Talk with His Uncle 2

Chapter 28: A Talk with His Uncle 2

Kim DaeSeong woke up to sharp pains.

“Ah...Eoup...”

Blood was dripping from his head and his eyes were so swollen that it felt like it was scorched. He struggled to move and he was shocked to see his entire body was covered in duct tape.

“If you keep struggling like that the pain would only get worse and you’ll die from excessive bleeding, DaeSeong.”

“Eoueoupeoup!!!”

His uncle tried to talk with his gagged mouth as he turned his head left and right, trying to see who spoke to him. Jaehwang then slightly removed the cover off of his uncle’s mouth.

“Someone’s in here! Someone’s trying to kill me! Eoueoup!”

He yelled, making Jaehwang shove the stocking back in his mouth.

“Really?”

Pong! Pong! Pong! Peopong! Pong!

He clenched his fist and started to hit him all over his body. Jaehwang avoided his face but he still dealt some serious damage. He inherited lots of archery and hunting skills from his father, so he could naturally fight and know the spots that would hurt his hostage the most.

20 minutes had passed, he then begged Jaehwang to stop with his face covered with snot and tears.

“Do try to yell again. See what would happen.”

DaeSeong gave him a nod with his eyes full of fear.

“Pua...”

He spits the stocking out of his mouth and took a deep breath before he looked up at Jaehwang who stood in front of him.

“Wh... Who are you?”

“...”

“Maybe I’m a different person and this is just an illusion?”

“Uh...”

Jaehwang sighed at DaeSeong’s question. His uncle tried to struggle once again and so Jaehwang punched him and thought if that was enough. He stopped and took a deep breath but now, he’s doing it for another reason instead of just trying to calm himself down.

He was honestly a little scared. It seemed like his uncle didn’t know his name and because of that, he was starting to feel weak. He was a relative and wasn’t that much of a bad person. He remembered when he was young and didn’t know anything, he would follow his uncle everywhere.

Although hurting him made him feel confused, he wasn’t sure on exactly how he felt. His uncle didn’t recognize his voice at all. A few questions like how many times did he go to the hospital and why did he take their insurance money popped into his head. He couldn’t understand any of it.

“So you can’t fully recognize me.”

No matter what he was or who he was, he was still a terrible person. Jaehwang then took the cover off of his mouth again and asked him a question.

“Do you know who I am?”

DaeSeong trembled as he looked around him.

“I...I really... I don’t know... uh ... It can’t be... Mr. Choi?”

“Bingo... But, doesn’t my voice sound so different?”

“Huh?... Boss...”

He started to make up some excuses so he covered his mouth again.

“Geououp!”

He slapped DaeSeong with the back of his right hand and that made him cry.

“Yes. It’s Mr. Choi...I know now... I recognize you boss...”

“Okay. Now, don’t you remember me a little? Do you know what it is you did wrong?”

“No... Before I... No! Yeah. You said to call when you say so but I didn’t.”

“Again?”

“Again... Again?”

The moment he tried to ask back, Jaehwang ran his fingers over his mouth.

“We all have a set of 10 fingers and toes so about 20 altogether. How do you feel about losing one and living with 19? and if you don’t give me what I want to hear, you’re gonna lose another 10 one by one. But do keep talking, I’m not gonna stop you since I like doing this after all...”

Jaehwang said with an eerie voice, DaeSeong then wet his pants and replied with a cry.

“No! Look. It’s just that....”

His uncle already fainted once and he couldn’t risk having him to go through the same thing again. Jaehwang had clearly made his point to make things quick but he couldn’t sense it... He was wearing a mask that only showed his eyes and his voice was a bit muffled. DaeSeong was already panicking as he was being tormented by pain and fear so there was nothing that he could do.

“I was supposed to call you once on the third but I didn’t so I’m sorry. No, no... At that time I was borrowing money so I couldn’t call. And last month I was talking rudely and... My nephew was cut out of school and moved to the mountains... I’m going to bury that jerk... For sure...”

DaeSeong began to say all of his thoughts aloud. Jaehwang looked at him with a cold look in his eyes as he continued to talk. His eyes clawed into his life’s will power, making his sweat fall down as he continued to say his excuse.

-Woah...

The spirit discovered another side to Jaehwang. She thought twice about them being relatives since he was torturing him at the moment and it did not look that they had that connection. She felt dissapointed that he could just say about cutting his fingers so naturally.

-Where did you learn that?

-What?

-A threat like that.

-It’s a joke. You just say it as if you’re serious...

The spirit tried to ask but Jaehwang was focused on glaring down his uncle to make him talk since his eyes were wandering around the place and avoiding eye contact. There’s still one more thing... He thought of the answer he wanted to hear to hypnotize him a bit more, and it was enough to make his teeth clench.

Guudeog...

He bit his lip until it started to bleed. He used that to remind himself to be firm because, at this point, he needed to act a little more determined.

“I get it. Your boss would need some of that money.”

DaeSeong then froze as if he was as cold as ice.

“W-Well... Why...”

He put the cover over his mouth again and DaeSeong’s confused face changed into a fearful expression.

“Eoup! Eup! Eup!”

“You’re not dead yet. I’ll keep one side clean. Isn’t that nice?”

He was stained with blood but a light came out of Jaehwang’s hand and his scar had healed.

“Hurry up and go, I’ll clean up.”

Peug...

“Eoup!”

He struggled to get loose...

His used all his of strength to try and break free but he struggled breaching through the duct tape like a caterpillar in its shell. The duck tape was like reinforced plastic and it made things hard for him. He then calmed down after a few attempts and yelled loudly.

“I can’t move, how am I supposed to get out of this?”

“Argh!”

DaeSeong felt worn out, seeing that many of his tries had failed.

“Isn’t it fun?”

DaeSeong strongly turned his head at Jaehwang’s question. Having an angel of death and standing in front of him was no fun at all. Nothing was scarier than a person who’s about to drag him into death’s doors. He was acting maliciously for a moment and he then was suddenly uninjured after everything that’s been going on.

“I’m very curious about you.”

***

-Are you okay?

-Yeah.

The spirit asked Jaehwang with worried tone as she saw all the blood on his hand. Jaehwang placed his shaking hand on DaeSeong’s stomach, the skin then started to heal little by little from where his hand is placed.

And soon, the wound was completely healed.

“What a relief.”

The wound made his uncle suffer like crazy. An accident like that for him was nothing but it was not the same for his uncle. He was bleeding in front of him and even though it was in control, he said it wasn’t. Even if he lied about it, Jaehwang still just couldn’t bear watch him bleed.

He felt that the burden on his shoulders was suddenly relieved. After being worried about what he did, it was probably the first time he realized that maybe he didn’t want to murder him. After all, he was his relative.

Jaehwang stood up straight and looked around the room.

He fixed his bleeding stomach but a little blood unexpectedly started to come out. He took a towel from off of the floor and put it over his uncle’s stomach to try and patch it up. Jaehwang then went to the bed and lied on the old mattress.

To divide up everything that happened in there, he bought twenty 100 bundle packs that cost $50,000 dollar and eventually, it added up to about $100,000,000... He used the emergency escape cash his uncle kept and Jaehwang heedlessly looked at all the things he bought. He then saw a piece of paper on the table next to the bed with a phone number and a name on it.

‘010-3002-XXXX Als Strategy topic, Department Head Kim EunYeong.

-What’s that?

-That... I don’t know yet. Later... If you get stronger from now on, then...

That was the number for the insurance company director that gave his parent’s money to his uncle. DaeSeong didn’t get the money with just any company. The Als group helped him to get it from his collateral family. There was no way for him to make up his mind for revenge because he didn’t have any real reason. As a hunter that trusts his senses, he could confidently believe in his observation.

Jaehwang then placed both his hands on DaeSeong’s head while he was still passed out

The spirit already knew what he was thinking.

-You know what we should do instead?

Jaehwang then nodded his head.

-No... I either start this or finish it.

Jaehwang gives strength and energy to DaeSeong by placing his hands on his head.

[Energy & Strength]

Jujujut...

White dust started to come out of both of Jaehwang’s hands and went into DaeSeong’s head.

His face had started to form beads of sweat... Jaehwang then took his hand and sat next to the sofa. The remaining of the floating energy dust went into his uncle’s head.

“Cough...”

His body violently reacted against energy and floated as if he was having a seizure.

He didn’t die but it looked concerning.

Jaehwang then checked if he was still breathing and took a deep breath before closing his eyes.

***

His business with his uncle continued on for a few more days later.

Soogsoog.soog

Jaehwang wrote something on a piece of paper.

“Done, isn’t it good?”

Jaehwang then drew a big circle and shook his head before tearing up the paper and throwing it in the trash.

-I’m completely ready.

-I didn’t know you were so meticulous.

The spirit said in a surprised tone. She’s been helping Jaehwang prepare to go into the wormhole for the past few days. He’s been endlessly packing up everything that he would need. He had committed a crime and used up one hundred million dollars but, he now had a lot of cash that he could use to buy all the things he could possibly need.

-Because we don’t know what could happen.

-True. If I get bored I could die.

-You should go and watch TV.

-Then buy the paid broadcasting! [First love’s father-in-law] and [My man’s my man’s man] Re-airings have been boring...

-Ugh...

Jaehwang continued to prepare for the trip down to the last details. Because of that, the spirit would be useless and wouldn’t be able to do a thing except probably give him a headache. With that in mind, he realized had to get a satellite antenna so that the spirit would be able to enjoy one of mankind greatest and worst inventions.

For the first time, he couldn’t distinguish the programs on TV every day. After a few one hundred years she could now enjoy the things of the new world that she’s now living in. Because of that, the spirit would now be able to adjust to the present day lifestyle. The side effects had started to disappear but she began to take interest in TV little by little and soon it started to get worse.

Jaehwang did not have any plans for a tablet of a phone because of that...

Of course, the spirit would just use the tablet to watch dramas. She then asked for a computer to watch more series on but she ended up using it too much.

The remaining computer he had was used to get the video data from Als since he has to keep that as safe and secure as possible. He may need help from the internet to save them.
