Descent of The Demon Master [EN]: Chapter 632

It feels good, but…’

Han Eun-sol, who was driving the van, didn’t look refreshed. When she started this whole thing, she was so angry that she didn’t stop Choi Yeon-ha, but now that it was all over, a strange sense of emptiness and anxiety washed over her.

She slightly raised her head and looked in the rearview mirror, wanting to check Choi Yeon-ha’s expression.

‘Her mental fortitude is something else…’

Contrary to her worries, Choi Yeon-ha was looking at her phone with a very refreshed face. It was as if all the dissatisfaction and annoyance that had been on her face had completely disappeared.

“Noona.”

“Yeah?”

“Aren’t you worried?”

“Worried? Why?”

‘That’s something to learn.’

If she could live with the same mindset as Choi Yeon-ha, the word ‘stress’ would disappear from her life. What a blessing it is to be able to live without thinking about the consequences. There must be at least 100 million people around the world who go to sleep tonight wishing that tomorrow wouldn’t come.

“Ryu Wei, that annoying jerk, deserves to be treated like that someday, but I’m a little worried about you going against the director.”

“Yeah.”

“The director isn’t someone to mess with.”

“Yeah.”

“…Noona, are you even listening to me?”

“Huh?”

Han Eun-sol gripped the steering wheel tightly.

‘Calm down. I’m driving right now.’

It’s not like she can do anything to Choi Yeon-ha even if she doesn’t calm down, but controlling her mind like this helps.

“Noona, the situation could get really serious, you know.”

“So what are you gonna do about it?”

“Huh?”

Choi Yeon-ha replied in a calm voice. Unlike the anxious Han Eun-sol, her voice was full of ease.

“It’s already done, what’s going to change if we fret about it now?”

“No, it’s not that, but…”

“And what are they going to do? Kill me or what?”

“They might tell you to leave the show. What if they really sue you for damages?”

“Let them.”

“Noona!”

“Shut up, you little brat. Don’t yell.”

Choi Yeon-ha clicked her tongue and said,

“A grown man with a heart the size of a pea.”

“Noona, the compensation fee is enormous.”

“I have a lot of money.”

“You’re going to spend it on this?”

“If I don’t spend it on this, where else would I spend it?”

“Wow…”

Choi Yeon-ha unwrapped a chocolate bar next to her and tossed it into her mouth.

“I didn’t come here to make money, do I have to grovel because I’m worried about that little bit of money? Money? I’ll just give it to them if they ask. I can just give away all my assets and earn it again.”

“Noona, that doesn’t sound very girl-crush-like.”

“I’ve never thought about that. And those bastards can’t even sue me.”

“Why?”

“If they sue, I’ll have to testify why I did it.”

“Ah…”

Han Eun-sol nodded.

Indeed, if there’s a lawsuit, there will be a trial, and Choi Yeon-ha will have to testify why she refused to film. Other actresses might be embarrassed to testify, but not Choi Yeon-ha.

Choi Yeon-ha is the type of person who would confidently say that the jerk tried to grope her butt under the guise of filming.

‘It’s probably beyond the level that can be resolved with damages.’

Considering Ryu Wei’s popularity, the money he will make in the future will be unimaginable. But if his image is damaged by this incident, it could hinder his future earnings.

If the director tries to harm Choi Yeon-ha with gritted teeth, it’s Ryu Wei, not Choi Yeon-ha, who will have to desperately stop it.

“Did you plan this out? You’re amazing.”

“No. I just lost it and did it without thinking.”

“…That’s even more amazing.” Crunch, crunch.

Choi Yeon-ha bit into the chocolate bar hard.

She felt like her appetite was coming back as her stress was relieved.

“But are they really going to stay still? I heard that Chinese people value their reputation. I don’t think they’ll just let it go after being humiliated in front of so many people…”

“Let them do what they want.”

“Noona.”

“I know what you mean. But I’ve endured enough. If they do anything weird, I’m packing my bags and going back to Korea.”

Han Eun-sol sighed deeply.

It seems like she has a plan, but also doesn’t.

‘It would be nice if they would come out normally.’ If this were Korea, there wouldn’t be a lawsuit over this. No, if it were Korea, this wouldn’t have even happened.

She’s willing to accept it if they protest normally in the open, but there’s no guarantee that they’ll do that. Besides, this isn’t Korea. The public safety is also a concern, and there are many things that make her uneasy.

“For now, don’t leave the hotel for a few days.”

“When have you ever seen me go out?”

“Just in case.”

“You worry too much. I’m not a woman without a plan. I know how to protect myself. Don’t worry. I won’t step a foot out of the hotel room unless I’m with you.”

“Yes.”

Han Eun-sol glanced at her phone with a slightly uneasy look.

‘There’s still no contact.’

It’s not like she knew this would happen, but just in case, she asked for more bodyguards. She could find them locally, but she wanted to deploy Koreans if possible. It might be her own selfish desire.

“I’m still worried, so please be careful.”

“I said I would.”

Even after hearing Choi Yeon-ha’s answer, Han Eun-sol’s face didn’t look relieved.

‘This is why Korea is so great.’ Han Eun-sol was realizing the saying that you become a patriot when you go abroad.

“That crazy bitch!”

Ryu Wei kicked the desk wildly. The objects on the desk rolled and fell to the floor. But no one tried to stop Ryu Wei.

“Calm down, brother.”

“Do I look like I can calm down right now? You son of a bitch!”

It’s a disgrace.

It was a proper disgrace that he couldn’t even lift his head. How could he be treated like this?

“Ughhhhh!”

He picked up the phone on the desk and threw it against the wall. With a sharp noise, the phone shattered and fragments flew everywhere. Ryu Wei huffed and puffed for a while before finally opening his mouth.

“Were there only one or two eyes watching!”

If he had been humiliated in a place where only important people were gathered, he might have been able to bear it. But there were too many eyes.

After that scene, the extras playing the concubines were all waiting in their makeup for the large-scale scene, and since it was such an important scene, all the staff were called out. There were probably well over a hundred people watching the filming.

And he got kicked in the shin in front of all those people.

Just thinking about it made his face flush.

“That damn ‘ppang-jjeu’ [a derogatory term for a woman] bitch! I was being nice to her, and she doesn’t even know her place!”

He had been putting up with her terrible temper just because she was pretty, and now she caused this huge mess.

“I’m going to grind her to dust.”

Having come this far, he didn’t want to worry about his reputation anymore. He wanted to take her to bed nicely if possible, but that woman had kicked away the opportunity he had given her with her own feet.

“What did the director say?”

“He seems very angry.”

“Of course. He’s probably more humiliated than I am.”

He’s someone that Hollywood is eager to hire as a director. For such a person to be humiliated by an actress while filming a drama in his own country, he might not be able to sleep for a while.

‘It’s better this way.’

Even if it was Ryu Wei, he couldn’t go against the director. Their influence was different. Considering Ryu Wei’s current popularity, he could survive even if he went against the director, but he would have to accept a reduced position.

Thanks to Choi Yeon-ha’s crazy actions, he was able to do things without worrying about the director.

‘I need to contact them.’

Now that things have turned out this way, there was no need to drag it out.

It might be better to end everything tonight.

‘Before this heat cools down.’

That woman’s face has a certain charm.

Ryu Wei isn’t a good person. Every time he tried to make a move on her, he was hurt by her contempt and sharp words. He would get so annoyed that he would head to the set to destroy her, but the moment he saw Choi Yeon-ha’s face, his annoyance would melt away.

And then he would repeat the same mistake.

He thought that if he kept trying, she would eventually give in. The women he had targeted so far had all ended up in his arms after two or three attempts.

But today’s incident made it clear. He can’t get Choi Yeon-ha through normal means. If that’s the case, he has to use abnormal methods.

“Bring me my phone.”

“Yes.”

The manager quickly took his phone out of his pocket and handed it to him.

“Get out.”

“Yes!”

After confirming that everyone else had left the room, Ryu Wei made a call. After a long ringing tone, the call was finally connected.

[What’s the matter, you’re calling me? It seems like our brother is getting impatient?]

“Take care of it tonight.”

[Tonight? I’m a bit busy today.]

“You son of a bitch! What could you possibly be busy with? I’ll give you a hefty fee, so take care of it!”

[Well, if our brother is in such a hurry, I guess I have to change my schedule. But you know, brother.]

“What?”

[I’m doing you a favor because it’s an order, but I don’t like how you treat me like a servant sometimes. You better be careful. Who knows what we might do if we get upset? Don’t you think?]

Ryu Wei’s forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Only then did he realize what kind of people they were.

“I, I apologize for speaking carelessly. I was just too heated.”

[You don’t have to apologize. Apologies aren’t made with words. It would be nice if you could give me some money for my errand? Don’t tell the higher-ups.]

“Don’t worry. I’ll prepare a generous amount.”

[Then I’ll see you tonight. Stay nearby. I’ll call you.]

“Okay.”

The call ended with a click.

Ryu Wei put his phone in his pocket with a slightly trembling hand.

‘They’re not even human.’

Honestly, he didn’t want to associate with them. If they weren’t the guys the mafia had assigned to him, he would never have contacted such creepy people.

But that’s why he trusts them more.

Those guys are capable of anything. So they will do what he asked perfectly.

“I’ll see what kind of expression she makes when she’s under me. That face will be beautiful too.”

Ryu Wei, feeling much better, slowly walked out.

Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport, China.

Against the backdrop of the setting sun, a plane was quietly landing. The plane, which had landed smoothly on the runway, did not head towards the usual passenger terminal but towards the cargo area deep inside the airport.

It was a common sight, but its meaning was not simple at all.

A gate was installed for the slowly stopping plane. As soon as the gate was fully installed and the plane door opened, a man who was perhaps the most watched person in China right now slowly stepped out of the plane.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been to China.”

Kang Jin-ho turned his head and looked at the setting sun.

“And for some reason, I have a bad feeling.”

It was the moment when someone’s misfortune began.
