It was known that he had lived a century ago, yet his exact history was unknown.
According to theories, he had belonged to the Joseon family, and after their fall, he had promptly changed his name. No one heard from him again until he engraved his name on the family register of the Sukune clan.
That a foreigner from Korea would gain a position within an influential family across the sea was hard to believe.
Furthermore, his descendants came to acquire the entire clan. His youngest son, Tatsuo Sukune, was now the current Chairman of the Leto Group.
However, his name wouldnât be known, either.
Like his father, there were a lot of blank spaces in his own myth.
âItâs a typical aura exhaustion phenomenon.â The man who had appeared out of nowhere looked down on him.
Oh Yoo-seong.
âBut youâll be glad to hear that sheâll recover. There are no fatal wounds,â the young man added.
Chairman Tatsuo tried to move his Aura and muscles, but he couldnât. Exhausted by his efforts, he staggered back into his wheelchair.
âYou can stand?â Yoo-seong tilted his head. âI had a feeling that presidents of large corporations just used these things as a fashion accessory.â Yoo-seong nodded to himself before continuing. âItâs a very confusing time for me. I did one operation in this country, then I thought I was going to be arrested, but I was called here insteadâŚâ
Tatsuo didnât pay attention to his words. There were bigger questions on his mind.
How could someone fight against Chika yet stand unscathed before him?
Chika Sukune was a monster. Heâd thought she would never be defeated. Whatever Tech or however lucky Yoo-seong was, it shouldnât have been possible for him to win without getting hurt himself.
Tatsuo was shocked by the results. And his misjudgments hadnât ended there.
His two sons had been fully prepared to face Yoo-seong as soon as the door opened. Tatsuo had not at all expected that it would be a half-insane, blind and deaf Chika who would burst through.
It hadnât taken long for his daughterâs wild blood attacks to incapacitate her brothers, even her father.
Over Yoo-seongâs shoulder, Chikaâs body was still convulsing. It took all of the Chairmanâs Tech to reach her subconscious and suppress her movements.
Chika still had a lot of CE left. It would only take one second of Tatsuo losing focusâŚ
âIt would be quite a big deal,â Yoo-seong said, seemingly reading his thoughts. âStill, keep your focus. I hope you can listen to my story while doing it. Here goesâŚâ
Yoo-seong lifted a finger in front of Tatsuo. âDo you know why I am here? You should.â
âLook-â Tatsuoâs voice trembled as he spoke in Japanese.
âSpeak Korean.â Yoo-seongâs voice was firm.
âI have no idea why youâre here!â This time, Tatsuo spoke in perfect Korean.
At his outburst, Yoo-seong tilted his head slightly. âI donât like listening to your lies.â
Tatsuo felt the blood rush to his head.
However, despite his anger, there seemed to be no way of getting out of this situation.
âIf it hadnât been for me, someone else would have taken it.â Tatsuo chose his words as carefully as possible. âDo you think it was just us who had eyes on your Tech? It was just a matter of who got there first. If it hadnât been Leto and me, your secrets would have gone to another company or family. Or even China. At that time, your country didnât have the ability to take care of your secrets properly.â
âI seeâŚâ Yoo-seong nodded thoughtfully. âThank you for your explanation.â

Pop-!
Yoo-seong pulled an item from his slot.
Tatsuoâs pupils expanded when he saw what was in Yoo-seongâs hands.
âTh-thatâŚâ he stuttered in surprise.
It was a small ampoule.
Its shape and size were quite different from the CE ampoules used in Korea and other countries.
This was an innovative model that could preserve CE for a long time or inject a huge amount of CE despite its size.
Perhaps there were more secrets and innovations that the Leto Group kept within this facility.
âThatâs not yours,â Tatsuo said.
At this, Yoo-seong began to walk around the room.
âWell, to use your own words. Itâs just a matter of who gets there first. Someone else would take it eventually, even if it werenât me. At this time, you donât have the ability to take care of your secrets properly.â
âWhat are you looking for?!â Tatsuo yelled nervously.
âA database on Qi and Tech you stole from the Korean Peninsula. Hand all of it over. Even reprints will do if you donât have the originals anymore.â
âI donât have anything like that!â
Yoo-seong approached the wheelchair and leaned in closer to Tatsuo.
Goosebumps ran down his entire body.
At that moment, Tatsuo almost let go of the concentration that was restraining Chika. Of course, Yoo-seongâs sole purpose in coming to Japan was to get the stolen secrets back.
Twenty years.
That was how long Tatsuo Sukune had kept his crime hidden without paying the price.
Yoo-seong looked at him eye to eye.
âIâm going to take a slow look around here. Even if there are no data or reprints here, there are quite a lot of technologies and information that will be helpful, like this ampoule. If I bring them to Korea, it will help us a lot.â
âYouâre a thief!â Tatsuo screamed. âYou think you can get out of this country after doing that? No, you wonât even be able to leave this facility!â
Yoo-seong stepped back and scratched his head. âI am a person who gives as much as I take.â
âWhatâŚ?â Tatsuo Sukune was at a loss for words.
Yoo-seongâs expression was serious.
Then he pressed the button.
Auto-Hunt began searching. Before long, Yoo-seong disappeared out of the room.
Only a screaming Tatsuo and his three helpless children remained there.
***
âKodama!â
As the Chairmanâs cry echoed in the hallway, Kodama ran with all his might.

He felt frustrated.
Although Chika hadnât been able to stop Yoo-seong, he hadnât thought that he was strong enough to beat the Chairman and his two sons at the same time.
When he reached the Chairmanâs room, he saw the smashed door and the scene beyond it.
âChairman!â
Tatsuo was lying on the floor, his wheelchair overturned.
Kodama immediately moved to support him, butâŚ
Splat-!
He felt the old manâs spit between his brows.
âUseless!â the Chairman said vehemently.
âWell, I have no excuseâŚâ
The situation was much more serious than Kodama had thought. At first glance, it was obvious that the Chairmanâs three children were in critical condition.
The Chairman himself was almost on the brink of unconsciousness due to exhaustion.
More than anythingâŚ
Yoo-seong was nowhere to be found.
âCallâŚâ
âYes?â
âSheriffs! Call them all over here, you idiot! No⌠thatâs not enough. Call Tokyo! Call all the hunters of affiliated groups here. All of them, now!â
âChairman⌠do you require hunters?â
Kodama had no question about calling the sheriffs. But mobilizing hunters to catch Yoo-seong would beâŚ
âAre you deaf? I said call them!â
Then the names of from the Chairmanâs mouth.
First-class hunters who were famous throughout Japan.
corporations.
Formally or informally, they had received numerous benefits and support by submitting to the Leto Group.
âRight now!â
âBut⌠ChairmanâŚâ
Kodama didnât have the courage to say the words. Instead, he turned his terminal on and showed the screen to the Chairman. It was a report that had come in this morning.
However, the Chairman didnât seem to care about it.
âWhat is this about?â
âIt is a Storm-class crack, Chairman. Within two hours, in the middle of TokyoâŚâ
âThen send the minimum number of hunters required! My kids are the only ones in Tokyo, you idiot! Donât mess around with useless problems! Kodama, donât disappoint me further!â

Kodama paused to consider.
Rationally, even if it was a Storm-class crack, there was no room for disaster as long as all areas were covered.
In such a situation, it was possible to bring all of Tokyoâs top hunters to this placeâŚ
âAh⌠I understand, Chairman. ImmediatelyâŚ.â
Kodama began dialing.
Letoâs influence was enormous indeed.
Most hunters were preparing to respond to the rift but agreed to drop everything after hearing direct instructions from Chairman Tatsuo.
Before long, the hunters began to move.
***
Just as Yoo-seong was engrossed in a computer screenâŚ
Jiiing-!
Spider web vibration.
Like Hansel and Gretelâs trail of breadcrumbs, he had left spider web threads throughout the facility as he searched for information.
It was a kind of alarm system that would alert him if someone was approaching.
âDid reinforcements arrive?â he wondered.
There was no room for Yoo-seong to be optimistic about his situation. Auto-Hunt was sympathetic. Instead of waiting to remove the USB safely, Yoo-seong, through Auto-Huntâs control, pulled the entire hard disk from the computer.
Then he placed it in a slot.
âIt isnât safe to go outside.â
With the Leto Groupâs influence, there were probably a lot of hunters coming after him.
âA lot of them could be first-class hunters.â
In this situation, it would be suicidal to meet them head-on or try to escape them. Of course, Yoo-seong had no intention of committing suicide.
Pop-!
He took something out of his slot.
The Sky Scissors.
Booo-wook-!
In an instant, a small crack was created for him.
As soon as he entered it, Yoo-seong took out the Sky Needle and sewed it closed.

Now Yoo-seong was literally out of that world.
However skilled the hunters trying to catch him were, they would not be able to find him.
âWoo!â Yoo-seong took a deep breath.
Then he began running toward Tokyo.
