Descent Of The Demon Master [EN]: Chapter 1625

Choi Yeon-ha looked at Kang Jin-ho with a slightly apologetic expression.

“Then you should have said something.”

“There wasn’t a chance to say…”

“No, usually…”

Choi Yeon-ha awkwardly turned her head slightly.

“I wouldn’t usually think about that kind of background in this situation.”

“Are you angry?”

“…No.”

“You seem angry?”

“It’s not that I’m angry, it’s just…”

Kang Jin-ho looked up at the ceiling.

‘That was scary.’

He realized for the first time today that even someone who hasn’t learned martial arts can emit that much killing intent.

If this person had been born in the old Central Plains [a historical region in China], wouldn’t she have been called something like ‘Ice Witch’ or ‘Jade Rakshasa’ [both are names for powerful, often villainous, female figures in martial arts stories]?

Perhaps an unprecedented female martial artist might have been born.

Anyway.

“…So that’s how it happened.”

“Hmm.”

Choi Yeon-ha nodded.

“I roughly understand…”

Choi Yeon-ha glanced down at her phone.

“It’s an interesting connection. I would have contacted her too if I were you.”

“Yeah, it’s interesting. Interesting… Please relax your expression.”

“…I haven’t been frowning?”

“Ah, you just naturally have a grumpy face. My mistake.”

‘This woman?’

Kang Jin-ho slightly glared, and Choi Yeon-ha flinched and looked away.

“You weren’t even hurt.”

“Have you ever learned any kind of martial arts?”

“No. I haven’t.”

“…You have a natural talent.”

‘Should I really teach her martial arts?’

Kang Jin-ho sighed deeply.

“Anyway, that’s what happened.”

“Hmm.”

Choi Yeon-ha nodded.

To summarize, Kang Jin-ho returned to this world after a past traffic accident, and while he was hospitalized, he met that kid or whatever and became friends.

And the kid found out that Kang Jin-ho had cured her illness…

‘Isn’t that almost like a prince on a white horse?’

No, should I say a prince from outer space?

Choi Yeon-ha narrowed her brows.

“I thought you were someone who didn’t leave things lying around, but you’ve been spilling things all along.”

“Huh?”

“Tsk.”

Choi Yeon-ha clicked her tongue.

It seems that Kang Jin-ho didn’t have such a great connection with that child.

However…

“But why do you have that expression?”

“Huh?”

“Whenever you talk about that Moon Ji-eun or Moon Poong-ji or whatever, you keep grinning?”

“Moon Ji-eun…”

“Is her name important right now?”

“Ah, no.”

Kang Jin-ho glanced at Choi Yeon-ha.

He can perfectly control his body. He was especially careful while talking about Moon Ji-eun, but how did she notice that?

“Look at this? You’re not answering? Suspicious.”

“No, it’s not like that…”

“Then what is it?”

Kang Jin-ho sighed.

“It’s not really anything like that. It’s just that, seeing her alive and well… it makes me feel like I’ve accomplished something.”

Choi Yeon-ha, who was ready to snap at whatever answer came out, closed her mouth and stepped back slightly.

‘Ugh, if he comes out like this, I have nothing to say.’

Choi Yeon-ha is not stupid.

People may think she throws tantrums all the time, but Choi Yeon-ha clearly distinguishes the extent of the tantrums she can throw.

This is an emotional issue that should never be touched.

“…I, I guess that’s possible.”

As Choi Yeon-ha took a step back, Kang Jin-ho smiled awkwardly.

“It’s not easy to explain.”

“Hmm.”

Choi Yeon-ha narrowed her eyes and scanned Kang Jin-ho.

‘I want to pick on him.’

But she lost her justification. If she throws a tantrum after hearing this story, it would just be a way to vent her anger…

“Anyway, I understand.”

“Yes.”

“It’s not like I understand everything, though.”

“Huh?”

Choi Yeon-ha crossed her arms and spoke confidently.

“I don’t know what kind of connection you have with that kid or whatever, but it’s not good to meet and contact other women so carelessly.”

“Why, why? What, what? If you’re going to think I’m a narrow-minded woman, go ahead!”

“…I didn’t particularly think that.”

“You can. It’s true that I’m narrow-minded!”

Kang Jin-ho glanced at Choi Yeon-ha again and picked up his phone.

“Then should I make an excuse that I can’t meet because I don’t have time?”

“That won’t do.”

“Huh?”

“I’ve already said something, so it’ll be obvious that I didn’t want you to meet her because I don’t like it. Then I’ll look narrow-minded, so no.”

‘What am I supposed to do?’

Kang Jin-ho looked bewildered.

Seeing his expression, Choi Yeon-ha looked slightly embarrassed and said,

“There really won’t be anything happening, right?”

“What do you mean?”

“…”

‘What’s the point of saying anything?’

‘No, looking at the old photos, he wasn’t even that handsome when he was young, so how did he charm everyone like this?’

“Aish!”

“Meet her! It’s okay!”

“You don’t look okay?”

“What? Then are you saying that I’m the kind of unreasonable woman who would get angry and smash things just because Kang Jin-ho is having a meal with another woman he has no relationship with?”

It was a poignant self-confession.

“Ah, meet her! Do whatever you want!”

“I won’t meet her.”

“I said meet her!”

‘…What am I supposed to do?’

Kang Jin-ho looked up at the ceiling with a mentally broken expression. He has lived for over a hundred years, but he still can’t understand a woman’s heart.

“So when are you going to see her?”

“That’s still…”

“If it’s still, then you’re going to meet her?”

Old memories flashed through Kang Jin-ho’s mind.

‘This… feels like something I experienced in the military?’

I can’t believe I’m experiencing this in society too.

Choi Yeon-ha glared at Kang Jin-ho, who was unable to do anything and was just hesitating.

“Instead, make sure you draw a clear line so that she doesn’t get any false hopes! Got it?”

“…It’s not like that.”

At Kang Jin-ho’s words, Choi Yeon-ha touched her forehead.

‘Hey, you human. Don’t you ever look in the mirror?’

Ah, of course, maybe you don’t. Maybe you’re not thinking about it right now.

But the story will change when you sit across the table from her. She has eyes too!

“Anyway, promise me.”

“Yes. I will.”

Choi Yeon-ha bit her lower lip.

‘I used to think it was pathetic whenever my older sisters would nag about managing their husbands…’

Choi Yeon-ha, who had been a top star, had vowed not to live like that after seeing people get married and start managing their husbands’ phones.

But now that she’s in this situation, she understands why those people did that.

‘I need to put a leash on him. I’m so anxious.’

Choi Yeon-ha sighed.

She thought Park Yu-min and Kang Eun-young were the problem, but it turned out the problem was somewhere else.

‘This human!’

‘This human is the problem!’

“Instead of worrying about other people’s relationships, take care of yourself. Got it?”

“Yes!”

“Don’t go around flashing your eye smiles!”

“Did you understand or not?”

“I understood.”

Choi Yeon-ha jumped up from her seat.

“Ah! I’m thirsty!”

Kang Jin-ho sighed deeply as he watched Choi Yeon-ha walk towards the water purifier.

‘Life is not easy.’

It’s really not easy…

“Mom, I’ll be right back!” Baek Hyun-jung frowned as she watched Kang Eun-young sling her bag over her shoulder and head out.

“Where to? You’ve been going out at this time lately, where are you going?”

“Where else? I’m going for a walk.”

“Is there such a thing as a walk where you drive?”

“I’ll be right back, right back!”

“Are you going to eat before you come back?”

“Yeah! I’ll eat and come back!”

Kang Eun-young, who had closed the front door, pressed down on her snapback.

Kang Eun-young, fully armed with sunglasses and a mask, went to the garage and opened the car door.

‘My brother hasn’t returned yet…’

Kang Jin-ho’s parking spot is empty. The time limit until Kang Jin-ho returns is four hours. She has to return within that time.

Kang Eun-young got into the car, quickly took off her mask and sunglasses, and checked her makeup. Then she put her mask and sunglasses back on.

‘It’s so uncomfortable.’

The reason she doesn’t go out much is not just because she’s lazy. If she shows her bare face, people will swarm her and it will become a mess, so she has no choice but to cover her face, but she feels awkward wearing sunglasses or a mask on her face.

That’s why she tends to avoid going out even when she has something to do.

But sometimes there are things that you have to do even if it’s uncomfortable.

Kang Eun-young started the car and drove out of the garage and onto the road.

A quiet residential area.

Kang Eun-young, who had been driving slowly, parked the car on the side of the road and turned off the engine. Then she slightly raised her head.

‘It’s about time he came out?’

‘Should I text him?’

No, no.

I don’t need to show that I’m too eager. The basics of dating are push and pull…

Kang Eun-young took out her phone and opened her texts.

Kang Eun-young: Arrived

Kang Eun-young put her phone down after confirming that the ‘1’ had disappeared from the text.

‘Push and pull, my foot.’

If you push and pull too much, the relationship will end. You can give the power struggle to the dogs. I’m already scared enough just trying to avoid my demon king-like brother’s eyes.

At first, it was kind of thrilling, but thrills are only good for a day or two. Now, I’m about to have a heart attack from enjoying the thrill.

Thinking about Kang Jin-ho glaring at her with his dagger-like eyes, she’s still breathless.

‘No, how did someone like that get born above me?’

Is he saying he’s going to interfere with other people’s relationships?

At that moment, Kang Eun-young saw someone coming out of the front door.

“Here!”

Without hesitation, Kang Eun-young opened the car window and reached out.

Then, the person who came out of the residential area approached the car with an awkward expression.

Thump.

The passenger door opened, and the person who approached got into the car.

Kang Eun-young smiled brightly as she looked at the person who got into the car.

“Did you practice well today?”

“Uh…”

“That’s good. You need to manage your condition well, since you have a game tomorrow. Right?”

“Y-yes.”

Kang Eun-young tilted her head.

“Why are you trembling so much?”

At those words, Park Yu-min, who was in the car, quickly turned his head left and right.

“Eun-young, but…”

“Yes?”

“This is near the dorm, and reporters sometimes come and go, and the kids come out often too. Can we go somewhere else?”

At those words, Kang Eun-young chuckled.

“What’s the big deal? Let them see.”

“I’m okay… I’m just worried about you.”

“Okay… No, then my brother will see too.”

No matter how much she’s disguised with sunglasses, a mask, and a hat, you can never underestimate reporters. How many celebrities have been ruined by trusting only in their disguises?

Kang Eun-young grabbed the steering wheel.

“Then let’s get out of here.”

“Okay.”

The car carrying Kang Eun-young and Park Yu-min slowly began to leave the road.

Then…

“Moving out, Chief.”

“Hehehehehe.”

An eerie and secretive laugh leaked out from a black van that had been parked on the side of the road even before Kang Eun-young’s car arrived.

“Track them.”

“Yes!”

Brummm.

Lee Hyun-soo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, hooked both corners of his mouth to his ears and laughed.
