Novel Full Chapter 957 The Night Incident [Pt 1]
“Haaa… fine. Whatever. I’ll just cooperate for now.”
In the end, Kuzon folded under the pressure of Aloe and my solidarity. I suppose one could say we won him over.
“So what are we supposed to do now? Do you have any way to solve the problems?” Aloe asked, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and interest.
“Yeah. Do you?” Kuzon seemed to be curious as well.
As much as I would have loved to divulge everything to them, it was unnecessary at this point.
“Don’t worry about anything for now. I’ll involve you all in it soon enough, but for now just enjoy your stay here.”
I needed to do some things on my own first, before involving anyone else. Since results were paramount, I would need then to cement the trust I needed to build.
‘Aloe trusts me, but Kuzon’s disposition is somewhat shaky.’ We still had to work together regardless.
“Fine, then. I’m going to sleep.” Kuzon yawned, rising to his feet and dragging himself to bed.
“What about you, Aloe? What will you do?” I smiled at her.
“W-what are you talking about? I have my own suite, you know? It’s inappropriate for girls to stay in the sameβ”
“That’s not what I meant!” I cried out instantly. She should have known that.
“Hehe. I’m just teasing, Jared. I’ll first see the Chairman and Director before heading off to bed. I also want to have some shuteye.”
Even though the monsters in this world posed no challenge to her, she had been in the Dungeon all day.
It was understandable that she needed rest.
“Alright then. Take care.”
“You too, Jared. It really is nice seeing both you and Kuzon again.”
“Likewise.” I deepened my smile and nodded.
Soon we would be reunited with all our friends. Afterward… it would finally be turn of our malevolent enemies to suffer.
“Well, goodbye!”
With her final statement of farewell, Aloe left me in the suite. Now that I was all alone, with no distractions, it made for the perfect opportunity to act.
‘Let’s wait till it gets a bit darker. This should be fun.’

[Hours Later]
“Come forth.” I whispered.
Instantly, several silhouettes sprang from me, all flowing like incorporeal mist.
The living room became shrouded in darkness thanks to their sheer number, and seeing so many Shadow Demons before me gave me an oddly sensational feeling.
“As you know, Kahn will coordinate you all. Your mission is simple.” A satisfied grin formed on my face.
Their numbers were in the hundreds.
“”Integrate yourselves with the shadows of the targets I will provide. I’ll also grant you their coordinates with Magic, so make sure you all get the job done before dawn.”
“UNDERSTOOD!” They responded in their hollow tone.
“Very good. You are all dismissed.”
Like spoke, they all dissipated into the air, commencing their mission.
‘They’re quote capable, and they must be trying their hardest to curry my favor, so they’ll do the job well.’
“Now then…” After delegating tasks to my subordinates, and telling my allies to rest, it left only me.
‘I suppose it’s my turn.’ Rising to my feet, I used the [Unknowable] Spell, erasing my presence in the room in a mere instant.
“Alright, then. Let us begin.”

Sung Han Soo arrived at his apartment building later than usual.
After getting a cab to drive him home, thanks to getting a little tipsy, he got into the apartment complex and climbed the stairs in silence.
‘I sorted out the details, just like you wanted me to… but still…’
She just ditched him for her friends. It wouldn’t have hurt him so much if he hadn’t been planning on asking her to see a movie with him on that very day.
After watching the movie alone, he went to the bar and got some.shots before he could take no more.
“Why am I surprised, though? This is how it should be, I guess…”πππxt.πππ
With another tired sigh, he reached his own apartment and opened it casually.
“… Hm?” The moment Han Soo entered, however, he instantly felt a chilling effect course through him.
‘Why do I feel this way?’ He took a few steps forward, looking around the dark room.
He turned on the lights, but they only served to further his confusion.
‘Nothing is here. Yet why do I…?’
Han Soo’s brow knotted into a scowl, and he slowly began to reach for something in his pockets.
A weapon, perhaps?
>WHOOOOOOOOOOSSSHHHH<
A silhouette suddenly emerged, charging straight toward Han Soo.
‘I knew it!’ His thoughts echoed, and he swiftly pulled out the gadget he had as a precautionary measure.
A smoke bomb!
>BOOOOOMMM!!!<
The thick mist covered his entire room, but considering this was his home, Han Soo already knew the location of his apartment entrance.
‘I need to leave… NOW!’ Carrying his legs with desperation, not showing an ounce of hesitation, Sung Han Soo rushed to the exit.
He had no idea who the man we’re, considering they had masks on.
‘I just need toβ’ He felt like he suddenly hit a wall the moment he tried to escape.
“Urgh!” Knocking himself to the ground as a result of the sheer force, Han Soo groaned in shock.
What just happened? He was certain he was at the exit!
That was when the mist cleared, and he soon realized why he should have given up from the get-go.
Blocking the entrance were three menβall of whom were already way stronger than him.
‘A-ah… C Rank…’ His device beeped. “What do you guys want?”
The fact that they broke into his house meant their actions or even the intention behind them, weren’t legal.
“Hehehe…” The bulkier man at the center laughed.
He was most likely the one Han Solo had hit.
“… It’s simple, kid. We’re here to kidnap you.”
