Chapter 95

〈Chapter 94〉 Section 4. The Dignity of S-Class (1)

* * *

No matter how crazy the world gets, there is still a line of right and wrong.

This line varies from person to person, from country to country, and from world to world.

Earth and this world are different.

After the Great Cataclysm, the common sense of this world crumbled along with the meteorites.

Bang bang bang bang!!

Gunfire fills the road.

The sound of bullets hitting the ground, the sound of bullets hitting the car body, and the sound of screams from the gunfire form a trio of noises.

"Ah!"

"Even though you're a parapsychic."

I lightly turned the steering wheel, crossing the center line.

"Using magic to protect your body, you wouldn't even feel the pain from a bullet, yet you're screaming."

"Hey, does this kind of gunfire even make sense in Korea?!"

"Exactly what I'm thinking."

We were heading north, so for a moment, we actually got closer to the Walpaes of the Hwalbin Party, but this car has been thoroughly armored.

Vroom!!

The RPM shot past 12, and I accelerated forward, avoiding the car in front that had momentarily stopped due to the gunfire.

We were driving in reverse.

There shouldn't be any cars coming from the front.

"What are you going to do if a car comes from the front?!"

"Just avoid it."

I turned the car back to its original lane.

The Hwalbin Party's reckless riders, or rather, thugs, immediately turned at the intersection, slipping and sliding, and chased after us.

"It seems they're after the young lady."

"I can tell!"

"Please don't unfasten your seatbelt. I'll take you to Yangyang."

"What?"

There was no need to shift gears.

I just needed to firmly press the accelerator and follow the navigation, driving forward.

'I really like this kind of thing because I'm a parapsychic.'

I, who have only driven on highways at 140 km/h, am now driving at nearly 200 km/h.

And that's on the eastern coastal road.

Although the road is somewhat smoother than in reality, driving at this speed on a winding road is still insane.

But my parapsychic abilities make it possible.

The enhanced senses and physical abilities through mana and parapsychic powers make it possible.

At least my agility is A-class, so I can check all directions in a second and keep driving forward.

It might be a good drive, but the problem is that there are guys following at this speed.

Vroom!!

"Nice cornering. Were you a driver in the military?"

"What does that have to do with anything?!"

"Drivers in the military are all amazing at cornering."

Four motorcycles are chasing us, turning corners with incredible skill.

Bang bang bang!

The trunk of the car was hit by concentrated gunfire.

I swerved the car slightly to avoid the bullets, but with four motorcycles shooting at me simultaneously, I couldn't avoid them all.

"Ah!"

"The bulletproof glass is fine."

"Why are you so calm?!"

"I'm a pro. Be careful of the impact."

I checked the navigation.

"I'm going to counterattack."

"Eh? Ah?!"

I slammed on the brakes.

Squeal!!

Three motorcycles behind me saw the brake lights and quickly turned.

Crash!

The one at the back didn't see it and crashed into the rear of the car. As soon as I felt the impact, I immediately pressed the accelerator again.

"I wouldn't do this if it were my car."

"Ugh...!"

Crash.

One of the thugs who fell off the motorcycle rolled on the ground.

"Is, is he dead...?!"

"I'm a parapsychic. The four following us at this speed are all parapsychics."

There's no way they're not parapsychics, considering they're following us at 200 km/h on motorcycles and shooting.

Not parapsychics?

...

Well, anyone who starts shooting rifles from motorcycles at dawn is a villain.

Even if he's dead, he's just a dead villain.

Bang!

The gun barrels spat fire again.

The recoil should have slowed them down, but motorcycles are lighter than cars, so they kept up with me despite the recoil.

Vroom!

One of them even tried to overtake me.

When he got close to the driver's side and tried to attach something, I immediately turned the steering wheel.

Squeal!

I took a sharp turn, and the car swerved to the side. The guy who got close to the driver's side was startled and turned his handlebar in the opposite direction.

Crash!

The rear of the car hit the front wheel of his motorcycle.

He slid and rolled on the ground, and the object he was trying to attach fell helplessly to the ground.

Boom!!

A loud explosion echoed.

Looking in the rearview mirror, I saw a red explosion that kicked up dust.

"There's no law against shooting bombs if you're shooting guns."

"Why are you so calm?!"

"I didn't become the young lady's personal driver for nothing. But... it seems they're serious this time."

I was about to accelerate forward when I saw a barricade ahead.

Several layers of yellow and black metal barriers were set up, and on both sides, Hwalbin Party thugs with guns were aiming at us.

The 'Gangneung City' sign behind them looked so out of place that I almost laughed.

"Wh, what are those...! Why go to such lengths...!"

"Since you're trying to secretly smuggle out S-class genes, it's natural for them to cause such a commotion."

"You, you knew...!"

"Yes, I knew."

I turned my head slightly backward.

"I'm doing this on Mr. Chairman's orders, but I don't really feel like it."

"Ah, watch the road!"

"Why should I? Anyway..."

I pressed the pedal harder.

"I'm going to break through the barricade and keep going forward."

I sent mana to the steering wheel.

The left hand holding the steering wheel began to burn with red flames, and soon the flames were sucked into the front of the car.

Whoosh.

The car was set on fire at the front.

The flames seemed to propel the car forward, burning like blood-red fire as it crashed through the barricade.

Ah!

As we broke through the barricade, I heard what sounded like screams, but I didn't pay much attention and kept pressing the accelerator.

"What, what are you...?"

The car kept moving forward.

The car was riddled with bullet holes, and the speed had slightly decreased, but it was still drivable.

"I'm now 'Snow White,' a direct subordinate of Chairman Gonggi, and part of Moby Dick."

"I've never heard of... but, whatever. You."

Now that she was a bit more relaxed, Yuliana leaned forward and grabbed the passenger seat.

"Are you thinking of joining October Travel... Ah!"

I slammed on the brakes.

Yuliana's face hit the passenger seat backrest, and I stopped the car completely before moving it forward again.

"What, what's going on?!"

"It's a red light."

"Are you kidding me? You ignored all the signals until now!"

"Did I?"

I didn't know.

* * *

At that moment.

The commotion in Gangwon Province quickly reached the key figures involved in national defense.

- Yuliana Feiglin, granddaughter of October Travel, has acquired the Taedjo's genes.

- She is attempting to leave the country via a private plane at Yangyang Airport this morning.

- Intelligence suggests that the anti-government group 'Hwalbin Party' has captured the October Travel chairman's family to recover and destroy the Taedjo's genes.

- The pan-national terrorist group 'Imae Mangnyang' has been confirmed to provide support. S-class heroes capable of deployment are requested to gather in Gangwon Province.

"......"

Since dawn, the Taeguk Watch had been ringing with a mobilization order for 'Snow White.'

"Taedjo, what kind of trouble is this guy causing again...."

Reading the report that only S-class heroes trusted by the state receive, Baek Seul-hee took off her pajamas with a serious face.

"So a foreign girl and Taedjo... sigh. That guy. He's still a young punk...."

Baek Seul-hee shook her head and made coffee in the kitchen.

Although it felt a bit odd to drink coffee in the morning, she needed a bit of caffeine to clear her head.

"Should I go, or should I not?"

This is a request.

Not a threat.

Even during her vacation in Seoul, she received such urgent telegrams, and at that time, the president himself called to ask her to stop the advancing Red Scarf.

But now it's different.

This time, it's a genuine request.

"Sending this message at this hour... sigh. It's a test. If I don't go, there'll be trouble later, but if I go, the situation might already be over."

After all, it was clearly unreasonable to ask her to go to Gangwon Province at this urgent hour, especially when the situation was likely to be in full swing by now.

Beep.

The Taeguk Watch rang again.

Baek Seul-hee considered just turning off the Taeguk Watch and taking a shower, but after seeing the emergency report, her expression changed.

- Gunfight has erupted.

- It is estimated that the Hwalbin Party is using almost one gun per person.

- Currently, 'Armored Taedjo' is flying from Busan to Gangwon Province.

"......Crazy. Gunfights in Korea? The world has definitely gone mad."

Baek Seul-hee laughed helplessly at the unbelievable report.

Beep beep.

The phone rang.

It was a familiar number, and Baek Seul-hee answered immediately.

"Hey. Hi, Eulina."

[Big sister, are you seeing the emergency report?]

"Yeah. Your brother...."

[It's not my brother, that kind of thing.]

Baek Seul-hee slightly frowned at the girl's irritable tone but soon calmed down, thinking it was typical of a male family member.

[I'm going, do you want to come with me?]

"Hmm...."

[If the guild comes, won't your darling come too?]

"What are you talking about? Who's my darling? Don't be so presumptuous."

[Isn't it partly true...?]

"Shut up."

Baek Seul-hee snapped her fingers and quickly got dressed using mana.

"Alright, I'll change clothes and come to you, so get ready. We need to go to Yangyang first."

[To see your darling?]

"You really."

I'm just going since I woke up early this morning.

"Do you think I'll definitely find a goblin where the guild is, and that I'm going to meet a goblin?"

[You might meet one by chance.]

"If I meet a goblin in Gangwon Province... sure."

Baek Seul-hee chuckled and put on a shirt.

"Then I'll ask the goblin for a cup of tea. What kind of nonsense are you talking? Why would there be a goblin in Gangwon Province?"

[What if there is one?]

"That's."

Flutter.

"Destiny."

Baek Seul-hee twirled an ice fishing line around her finger.
