The mess that the thugs had made magically cleaned itself up as if nothing happened.
H-How is this possible?
She could not believe what she had just witnessed. The utensils floating up off the floor and arranging themselves were one thing, but the tables and cracks on the wall mending themselves were completely shocking.
Uhm, excuse me? Han-Yeol called out awkwardly.
Y-Yes?
Your nose Ahem Han-Yeol said while pointing at her nose.
Huh? My nose? Kyak! She touched her nose and felt a hot liquid dripping down from it.
She looked down at her hand and realized it was blood, and she hurriedly covered her nose. Then, she ran into the kitchen to wash it.
Stewart let out a sigh now that they were alone. Then, he said, I was actually surprised when you called that woman your mother, Han-Yeol-nim.
Han-Yeol grimaced and retorted, Imagine how surprised I was. Do you think I expected to see my mother in a place like this?
Actually, he had no idea who his mother was or what she looked like. He had no memory of his mother, and the only thing he knew about her was that she had already passed away, which was what his father had told him.
The only reason he knew she was still alive and that she left home with his sister was that he overheard his father talking to someone on the phone while he was drunk.
Han-Yeol had no idea what his mother looked like until fairly recently when he went to his fathers room to get something and saw a photo of her in one of the cabinets by pure coincidence.
What are you going to do now, Han-Yeol-nim? Stewart asked.
Haa I have no idea Han-Yeol replied with a sigh while rubbing his face with his palms.
He initially considered using this opportunity to cut all ties with her as mother and son with his own hands, but he could no longer bring himself to do so after seeing her living situation. Now, he could no longer decide what he was supposed to do with her.
I guess Im not as bad as I thought I was.
He pictured himself acting worse than the devil whenever he imagined himself meeting his mother, but the reality was completely different from his imagination.
Anyway, he decided to think about the troublesome things later and ordered two bowls of Yukgaejang.
He did not have to take care of the Gurkhas, as they stood guard in shifts and came into the restaurants to eat without him having to tell them.
H-Here is the yukgaejang you ordered.
Wow~ That looks good. Lets eat, Stewart.
Yes, it does look good, Han-Yeol-nim.
Enjoy~
Both of them took a spoonful of the hot, spicy stew.
However, the noisy murmuring of the crowd outside the restaurant interrupted their meal.
Hmm?
It suddenly got noisy outside.
They noticed that one of the Gurkhas let someone through and entered the restaurant.
Creak!
The restaurant door creaked open, and a woman who seemed to be in her thirties rushed in.
Huff! Huff! M-Mom! I heard those bastards were back!
They could see from her disheveled hair and clothes how much she had rushed to get here.
Ah, t-they didno, more importantly! How can a lady use such foul language?
Mom! Is my language whats important right now?!
The owner of the restaurant, Han-Yeols mother, pointed at one corner of the restaurant.
The woman who just entered looked where she was pointing and
Eh?
Kuheok!
Argh!
S-Spare me! Mercy!
The thugs flailed their limbs while suspended in mid-air by Han-Yeols Psychokinesis skill.
As you wish.
If they get in the way
I will eliminate them.
Please.
Just leave it to me, Han-Yeol-nim.
Thanks.
Stewart was here to assist Han-Yeol. He might act like a secretary, but he was, in fact, stronger than most Master-Rank Hunters. On top of that, he possessed numerous skills, as he was a demon capable of wielding magic as his specialty.
Thus, a Master-Rank Hunter would not be able to win against him due to the sheer number of skills he could unleash at them.
Stewart was extremely powerful, but he was still Han-Yeols secretary right now, so he had no qualms about running errands for Han-Yeol rather than being in combat.
The demon recorded what he had to do on his smartphone before calling out, Han-Yeol-nim
Yeah?
Are families supposed to be that complicated?
What? Dont you demons have families?
Han-Yeol was not that familiar with the lifestyle of demons. Of course, there were numerous records of demons in the books he read, but he was skeptical of most of the information written in them, as there was no way mere humans could know about the actual lifestyle of demons. Most of the information written in these books was just the prejudice and arrogance humans had rather than facts.
He did not feel any shame in asking about things he was unfamiliar with, and he actually considered pretending to know something he had no idea about to be more embarrassing.
Monsters procreate just like humans or animals do, but that cannot be said for demons. In fact, even we demons have no idea how we were made. Perhaps the best way to explain it is that we are born from darkness?
Darkness? I guess thats why you find it difficult to understand what family is.
I believe so. Frankly speaking, I was a bit surprised, as you acted completely different from how you usually are. However, I did read a few things about family and stuff on the internet, and I sort of understood that it can indeed be complicated. I just did not expect it to be this complicated
Family is a topic you think you know about, yet your heart will tell you otherwise.
Yes, I believe it is.
To be honest, even I have no idea.
Hmm?
I think anyone will give you the same answer. Nobody will be able to give you a satisfactory explanation regarding things like love, friendship, family, maternal love, or anything like that. Ah, a few people make a living from speaking about those things, but they just sugarcoat it without giving a proper explanation.
Oh?
And Im not a fan of those kinds of people.
Hmm
So yeah, if you ask me to explain what a family is, then I have no idea, to be honest.
I see
The last thing Han-Yeol said sort of perplexed Stewart. He did not expect to find something so intriguing yet bizarre after coming to the human world under Lucifers commands. Interestingly, the demon could feel a strange desire to feel whatever confusing emotion Han-Yeol was feeling currently.
However, he decided to brush this foreign feeling off.
It seems that spring has come, Han-Yeol-nim.
Oh, its already spring? I guess time really does fly.
***
Han-Yeol had encountered a small incident, but that did not affect him at all. Rather, he felt as if a heavy load had finally been lifted off his chest.
Did they agree to the invitation?
All 1,023 people we sent the invitation to have sent their replies.
Oh? That was easier than I thought.
It seems the thought of getting on the worlds strongest Hunters bad side was burdensome for them.
Tsk. You think so?
Yes, and they probably think nothing bad will happen to them in the Blue House.
Hahaha! Ah, Im already looking forward to the main event.
I must say I am looking forward to it as well.
Han-Yeol asked Stewart to send out invitations to the people he labeled as the top priority targets for him to eliminate to ensure that South Korea could become great again.
