Descent of The Demon Master [EN]: Chapter 1093

The moment Han Se-yeon saw those cold and arrogant eyes, she knew instinctively.

This person is definitely not a good person.

No, it was beyond that.

She could feel the chill and venom in her eyes.

Han Se-yeon had absolutely no talent for judging people by their impressions. Even Han Se-yeon felt a chill the moment she looked into Choi Yeon-ha’s eyes.

In other words…

Choi Yeon-ha had no intention of hiding her hostility towards Han Se-yeon.

Han Se-yeon swallowed dryly without realizing it.

Being alone with Choi Yeon-ha in a space and facing her was an immense pressure that those who had not experienced it could not imagine.

Han Se-yeon bit her lip.

So what?

How great could she be?

She forced her lips, which were reluctant to move, to open.

‘You’re very different from what I imagined?’

‘Is that so?’

Contrary to her expression, Choi Yeon-ha’s voice was softer than expected.

‘In what way?’

‘If I had to put it into words…’

Han Se-yeon looked straight at Choi Yeon-ha and said,

‘The petty way?’

Choi Yeon-ha laughed.

She laughed brightly as if it was very amusing.

‘You saw right through me.’

‘Are you admitting it?’

‘Is there any reason not to?’

When Choi Yeon-ha came out like this, Han Se-yeon was at a loss for words.

Han Se-yeon hesitated slightly, then braced herself and continued.

‘I didn’t think you would be like this.’

‘Like what?’

‘You’re a top star, after all.’

‘Well, since you say so, it would be embarrassing for me to deny it.’

How brazen.

She suppressed the rising irritation. If she got angry here, Han Se-yeon would only look foolish.

‘I never thought someone as successful as you would be so petty to someone as ordinary as me.’

‘Oh, is that so?’

Choi Yeon-ha nodded. She spoke like a teacher soothing a kindergartener.

‘That’s strange? I don’t think I did anything particularly special. I don’t know why you feel that way?’

‘Really? They say you’re good at acting, but it’s too obvious.’

‘Hmm, if you feel that way, I guess I need to try harder. I’ll work hard to satisfy you.’

Han Se-yeon’s eyes narrowed.

She didn’t like it.

She didn’t like Choi Yeon-ha, nor the composure she was showing.

Most of all, she didn’t like the way she looked down on people as if she was already the winner.

And the fact that she was right to think she was already the winner made her even more annoyed.

‘If I were you, I think I would have been more relaxed?’

In fact, she was already more than relaxed. But this was all Han Se-yeon could say right now.

‘Oh, is that so? Too bad you’re not me.’

Choi Yeon-ha smiled and tilted her head.

‘But what can I do? I’m not you, so this is the only way I can be?’

Han Se-yeon sighed softly.

‘I didn’t want to say this much.’

‘No, it’s okay. Say whatever you want.’

‘Are you not confident?’

‘Huh?’

Choi Yeon-ha tilted her head. She looked like she didn’t understand what Han Se-yeon was saying.

Han Se-yeon smiled meaningfully.

‘If I were in your position, I wouldn’t have bothered with someone like me.’

‘Oh, is that so?’

‘Yes.’

Han Se-yeon drove the point home.

‘But since you’re being so petty, I’m a little worried. It seems like you’re not very confident as Jin-ho’s girlfriend.’

‘Why? Do I look like I’m trembling with fear that you might steal him?’

‘A little. Well, I guess I misunderstood.’

Choi Yeon-ha covered her mouth and laughed. However, Han Se-yeon watched the scene clearly without changing her expression.

After laughing for a while, Choi Yeon-ha took her hand away from her mouth and glared at Han Se-yeon with even colder eyes.

‘It seems like there’s some misunderstanding.’

‘Yes?’

‘I don’t think for a second that you can do anything to Jin-ho.’

‘No…’

‘Don’t you know that better than anyone? I don’t think I need to explain why I’m doing this, do I?’

Han Se-yeon closed her mouth.

She was right.

Anyone who knew Choi Yeon-ha would think so. Especially anyone who had actually seen Choi Yeon-ha.

She was holding on out of spite, but just standing face to face with Choi Yeon-ha made her legs tremble.

Someone like this didn’t need a reason.

‘Then why are you doing this?’

‘Look, it seems like you’re mistaken… You’re the one who doesn’t understand the situation, not me.’

‘….Huh?’

Choi Yeon-ha chuckled and said,

‘Let’s say you have a huge gold bar in your house. But the gold bar is so big and scary that you can’t steal it, so you just loiter around and go back.’

‘What are you talking about?’

‘Then wouldn’t you report it?’

Han Se-yeon couldn’t say anything and closed her mouth.

‘Stealing isn’t the only crime, you know? Trying to touch it carelessly is also a crime, and loitering around is also a crime.’

Choi Yeon-ha’s tone changed.

‘Did you think I wouldn’t do this?’

Choi Yeon-ha scoffed and glared at Han Se-yeon with cold eyes.

‘You’re just spouting whatever comes to mind.’

‘Yes?’

Choi Yeon-ha took a step towards Han Se-yeon. Han Se-yeon tried to step back without realizing it, but she braced her legs and stood her ground.

‘Composure? You’re talking about composure.’

‘Hey, I have a terrible temper, so I can’t do things like, ‘Oh, I’m okay. Go ahead and do whatever you want. I’ll win anyway.’ Do you think this is a drama? Where does that exist in reality? If it’s crap, it’s crap.’

Han Se-yeon couldn’t hide her bewilderment at Choi Yeon-ha’s sudden change in tone. Her face flushed, and her eyelids trembled uncontrollably.

‘How dare you loiter around someone else’s boyfriend without knowing your place. What? You’re not confident? That’s ridiculous, really. I’ll tear your hair out.’

‘Oh, my god…’

Han Se-yeon’s mouth fell open slightly.

Is this Choi Yeon-ha?

No, she had expected it to some extent.

The image of celebrities seen on TV is just an image. Isn’t it too common for celebrities who are rumored to be pure and innocent to reveal their true nature when scandals break out, so much so that it’s not even a topic of conversation?

The rumors that Choi Yeon-ha had a bad personality were so widespread that they couldn’t even be considered rumors.

Besides, wasn’t it obvious that Choi Yeon-ha was not a good person just from what Han Se-yeon had seen with her own eyes so far?

But even so.

‘Is this okay?’

Still, Choi Yeon-ha was a celebrity.

It might be a bit of an exaggeration to call celebrities public figures, but celebrities are people who have to be more careful than public figures. A scandal or a bad image can be a small blow to a public figure, but a scandal or a bad image can be a huge blow to a celebrity.

Isn’t it a celebrity’s job to think about every word and action and be careful?

But…

It felt like she was being robbed by a tough older sister in a dark alley.

Looking at Choi Yeon-ha glaring at her with terrifying eyes, she broke out in a cold sweat.

‘C-can you really say that?’

‘Why? You can say whatever comes to mind, but I have to filter myself? Sorry, but I don’t have a filter on my mouth. For ten years, all sorts of people have tried to put a filter on my mouth and failed. What makes you think you can put a filter on my mouth?’

Han Se-yeon knew for sure.

This woman was impossible to reason with.

‘Does Jin-ho know?’

‘Know what?’

‘About your personality.’

Choi Yeon-ha chuckled.

‘I thought you were just acting like a fool, but you have a bad personality too. Hey, did you get treated like a princess somewhere? You’re acting up without knowing how the world works.’

Han Se-yeon bit her lip tightly.

She didn’t know exactly what Choi Yeon-ha’s intention was, but to Han Se-yeon’s ears, it sounded like, ‘You must have been acting pretty somewhere, but acting pretty in front of me is presumptuous, isn’t it?’

And that was right.

No matter how hard Han Se-yeon tried, she couldn’t compare to Choi Yeon-ha.

‘Why? Are you going to go and tattle if you don’t know?’

‘Do you think I can’t?’

‘Go ahead.’

‘….Yes?’

Choi Yeon-ha’s face was full of ridicule.

‘Go ahead. Why? Can’t you do it now that I’ve set the stage for you?’

‘You!’

Choi Yeon-ha, looking down at Han Se-yeon as if she was pathetic, crossed her arms and straightened her back.

‘Do you think I don’t know? Are you really Jin-ho’s ex-girlfriend? How can someone who was his girlfriend not know him so well? Do you think he’s someone who can be deceived?’

She couldn’t argue.

It didn’t make sense that Kang Jin-ho didn’t know Choi Yeon-ha’s personality. Kang Jin-ho was not someone who could be deceived.

‘Who doesn’t know their own girlfriend’s personality? He knows. Of course, he knows. It’s not common to find an idiot like you who doesn’t even know their ex-boyfriend’s personality.’

‘……What did you say?’

‘Idiot.’

Choi Yeon-ha, enunciating each syllable clearly, glared at Han Se-yeon.

‘There’s always someone like you. Someone who thinks that everyone around them should cater to them just because they were born a little pretty. Someone who thinks it’s natural to be coddled because everyone says yes to their unreasonable demands and tantrums.’

Han Se-yeon’s face flushed.

It felt like she had been stabbed in the chest.

‘Well, it’s not a bad thing. Being born pretty is also a talent and an ability. But don’t you dare. You’re not good enough to act up just because of that. At least you have to be like me to avoid side effects. You’ll only end up losing if you act up carelessly.’

‘Are you done?’

‘No. I have a lot more to say. So don’t interrupt and listen.’

Han Se-yeon flinched at Choi Yeon-ha’s cold rebuke.

‘I don’t care what kind of foolish things you do. I don’t want to give you advice about your life. I just want you to fail.’

‘But I can’t stand you hanging around my man. This isn’t about taking him away or not. I’m disgusted by the way you look at Jin-ho, and I’m disgusted by you calling him out with your pathetic excuses of being friends. And I hate you sitting across from Jin-ho, and I’m even annoyed that you’re breathing in the same space as Jin-ho.’

What kind of person was this?

No, she could think that, she could think that.

There would be quite a few people who had such thoughts in their heads.

But how many people in the world could say those things to the person in front of them?

It was tremendous in many ways.

‘So, I hope you won’t hang around Jin-ho anymore.

There’s such a thing as professional ethics. It’s common for people to cry and contact their exes again because they still have feelings, but if you have any sense, you shouldn’t do that to a man who has a new girlfriend, right?’

Choi Yeon-ha smiled.

‘So, Han Se-yeon.’

‘I’m not the type to add extra explanations, but it seems like you’re not understanding me, so I’ll summarize it again. Listen carefully.’

Choi Yeon-ha said coldly with a gaze that was so cold it seemed to freeze.

‘If you don’t want your hair torn out, don’t hang around my man. This is the last warning.’

Han Se-yeon’s arms broke out in goosebumps.
