Chapter 157
F-Father?
Even though she wasn\'t fully conscious, Arshelly could hear the voice of her beloved father .
“F-Father…?”
Arshelly spoke to Kang Chul-In with a weak voice .
“Yes, daughter . ”
Kang Chul-In answered .
“I’m here . Your dad is here . So…”
Kang Chul-In hopped off the Altaica .
“Don’t worry . ”
Saying this, Kang Chul-In’s eyes were full of fatherly love .
“D-Don’t tell me…”
When he saw this, Sheville Polansky---
“A-ah . . . ah!!!"
Seemed liked he was about to fall over on the spot from shock .
“T-That little b*tch . . . w-was the daughter of… O-Overlord Kang Chul-In…?!”
This wasn\'t even close to just a small mistake, so it was as if Sheville had stepped into a field of explosive mines .
The daughter of Overlord Kang Chul-In?
He had kidnapped the daughter of the man that even Baruk Al-Yusuf had to kneel to?
And he was planning on killing her before turning her into his mannequin?
T-This can’t be… No… No… NOOOO!!!
Sheville wanted to bite his tongue and die .
“This… won’t happen again . ”
Without taking so much as a glance at Sheville, Kang Chul-In promised .
“I… believe you, father…”
Arshelly spoke, her voice trembling .
Her voice resembled that of a dying person\'s .
When he heard it, Kang Chul-In’s heart felt like it was being torn apart .
“I-I love you, father…”
“Me too . ”
“Dad… Please save the ones trapped there too…”
Arshelly pointed at the other children stuck inside the glass containers .
“Don’t worry . ”
Kang Chul-In answered .
The Bittermoon territory would soon be taken over by Baruk Al-Yusuf anyway, and he wouldn’t kill those children since he followed the Islamic law .
“Yes, father . I can’t anymore . . . my eyes…”
“It’s okay, you can go ahead and close them . ”
Grabbing Arshelly, Kang Chul-In patted her on the back .
“Don’t worry . What is there to worry about when dad is here?”
“You\'re right…”
“When you wake up, we’ll both be in Laputa . ”
“Yes, father… I love…”
While Arshelly was speaking,
Droop .
Her eyelids shut closed, and her head drooped down .
With Kang Chul-In here, Arshelly was finally able to fall asleep in peace .
At last, Kang Chul-In didn’t feel the same emptiness he had felt before .
Was family such an important thing…?
Kang Chul-In realized just how important Arshelly was to him now .
And,
Son! Come and visit home more often!
His mother\'s, Park Sun-Ja’s, voice echoed in his head .
He couldn’t understand why he had ignored his mother in his past life, and instead only focused on waging war .
You, and mother .
Kang Chul-In vowed .
I won’t let any harm come to you .
-------
While Kang Chul-In was speaking to Arshelly, Sheville Polansky started to tiptoe towards the exit .
Of course, the problem was that Arshelly and Kang Chul-In weren’t the only ones in the room .
-Krrrr!
The Altaica growled towards him, as if warning him .
“ . . . !”
Afraid of the giant beast, Sheville stopped moving .
-Grrrr!
The Altaica showed off its fangs, which were still dripping with flesh blood . It also started to circle around him, intensifying his fright .
This damned beast!
Even though Sheville\'s eyes reddened from rage, there was nothing he could do .
-Hmph!
The Altaica snorted, ignoring him .
There was no way that the Sheville\'s ability would work against the Altaica, since it didn’t even know the ‘M’ in \'magic\' .
“Where do you think you\'re going?”
From behind him, Sheville heard the voice of the grim reaper .
“H-Hiik!”
“You have to pay the price now . ”
“I-I’m sorry…! Please have mercy…”
Sheville didn’t dare to turn around . He was too afraid to look at Kang Chul-In’s face .
Ah, I’m so screwed .
There was no way he could win against Kang Chul-In since he didn’t use magic . The only choice was to…
Plop .
Sheville turned his body around and kneeled directly in front of Kang Chul-In .
Bang!
He then started to smash his own forehead against the ground to apologize .
“I-I’m sorry!”
It was a quick apology, given in order to live .
“I won’t . . . won’t ever do this again! Also, I didn’t know… I really didn’t know that she was the daughter of the Overlord Kang Chul-In! I wouldn’t have kidnapped her if I knew! Please believe me…!”
Half of what he said was true, and half was a lie .
When he said he wouldn’t do this again he was just lying, in order to avoid death . Of course, the fact that he wouldn’t have dared to touch Arshelly was true .
“P-Please…!”
“Please?”
“I-If you let me… Kuhuk!”
Sheville choked due Kang Chul-In’s hand grabbing his throat .
“You should already know---”
“W-What do you mean…?”
“That I won’t kill you easily . ”
“P-Please…!”
“You…”
While Kang Chul-In was speaking, a white light flashed,
“You bastard!!”
And Sheville started to charge towards Kang Chul-In .
It was a sneak attack .
He had thrown a single-use item that should have blocked Kang Chul-In’s sight, before charging towards him .
However,
Tuk!
Kang Chul-In grabbed onto Polansky’s right arm, which held a dagger .
“Is this it?”
Kang Chul-In laughed .
“Since I don\'t have much time, let’s begin . ”
“ . . . !?”
“I will show you a whole new world of pain . ”
“Agghhhhh!!!”
A terrifying scream filled the secret chamber of the Bittermoon territory .
----------
Whilst Kang Chul-In was torturing Sheville Polansky, the Anatolian army was outside conquering the castle walls of the Bittermoon territory .
“Agh!”
“These bastards!”
Unlike before, the soldiers of the Bittermoon territory fell like leaves . The morale they had shown an hour ago was long gone .
“Great Khalifa . ”
Lee Gong-Myung spoke .
“Can you lend this one 2000 troops?”
“2000?”
“Yes, Great Khalifa . ”
“What’s the reason?”
“In order to block their escape route . ”
“Hm… Very well . ”
“Thank you, great Khalifa . ”
Lee Gong-Myung bowed .
“Oh, and when should I send out my great warriors?”
“I think now is the right time . ”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, great Khalifa . The Bittermoon territory is a mess right now . Since Kang Chul-In can run during the chaos, we should send out your great warriors and have them hunt Kang Chul-In down . ”
“Alright . ”
Baruk Al-Yusuf nodded .
“Kang Chul-In…!”
Baruk Al-Yusuf was confident .
50 elite guards of Anatolia, 50 assassins, and 100 soldiers . With this 200 man elite squad, he was confident in being able to catch Kang Chul-In .
“Just you wait! I will capture you alive, and rip you to shreds!”
Baruk Al-Yusuf spoke, his eyes glittering with madness .
