Trash of the Count's Family

Cale looked around to see who was in the room after noticing he only had ten minutes.

Choi Han and Lee Soo Hyuk.

Only the two of them were there.

“Hyung-nim, Alberu-nim has already returned.”

Cale nodded his head and started to speak after seeing the anticipation and concern on Choi Han's face.

“I have ten minutes late. Come back before midnight.”

“Ah.”

Choi Han quietly gasp.

10 minutes.

He needed to go back if Cale went back as well.

There were ten minutes left until they went home.

It was obvious why Cale was telling him the time that was left.

Choi Jung Soo.

Choi Han immediately headed toward the door. He heard Cale's voice behind him.

"Call the other people here.”

“Yes, hyung.”

The other people.

Cale didn't need to specify who he meant by that.

He was talking about his allies who had been waiting for him to wake up and Choi Han immediately understood without needing an explanation.

“It’ll be quick because they are in the next room.”

Click.

Choi Han’s movements seemed oddly urgent.

Cale looked at Choi Han leave before turning his gaze to Lee Soo Hyuk.

There was a gentle smile on Lee Soo Hyuk’s face.

“Rok Soo, the yellow head is completely dead.”

“I am aware.”

“And that bastard’s scales were left in pretty good condition, so I'm thinking about using it to create some weapons.”

“That is a good idea.”

“Right? There was also a cintamani-like orb that came out from its body.”

“Really? I guess it really was like an imugi.”

Their conversation was peaceful.

“I guess you didn’t know about the cintamani?”

“I didn’t know. My past has no records of such a thing.”

“Hmm. Really? Anyway, we’re thinking about researching that along with the scales. It’ll probably help in some way.”

“That is a good idea. Please ask Lee Seung Won to record everything you find out.”

“That’s the plan.”

Lee Soo Hyuk definitely heard that there was only ten minutes left and Cale knew that as well, however…

The two of them were acting the same as usual right now.

Of course, things were much more peaceful and quiet than before with no present danger in sight.

“Rok Soo.”

“Yes, hyung.”

"Are you not hurting anymore?”

Cale turned toward Lee Soo Hyuk.

“Yes, hyung. I am not hurting.”

“I'm relieved.”

Lee Soo Hyuk nodded his head and continued to speak.

“Rok Soo.”

“Yes, hyung.”

“Should I say that I'm relieved you didn't immediately head back?”

Smile. Lee Soo Hyuk smiled again.

“I am not going to tell you the long story again.”

“Okay.”

Lee Soo Hyuk looked at the clock.

It had already been a few minutes.

“Han is a bit slow even though they are just next door.”

“I'm sure they’ll be here soon.”

The two of them enjoyed this short duration of peaceful silence.

Choi Han entered the next room and started to speak.

“Rok Soo hyung. He has woken up.”

“Really?”

“Ah! I'm so relieved, so so relieved.”

“…Sigh.”

Everybody looked relieved even if they responded in very different ways.

“He asked everyone to come over.”

“Really?”

“Bae Puh Rum, let’s go.”

“Okay. Let’s go, Min Ah.”

Choi Han slowly observed every person who left through the door he was holding open.

Kim Min Ah and Bae Puh Rum were the first to leave.

Then it was Lee Seung Won and Lee Jin Joo. After them was Grandma Kim, Doctor Kang, Joo Ho-Shik, etc.

A lot of people walked past Choi Han.

There were a lot of people not here right now as well.

For example, Heo Sook Ja and Kim Woo were currently busy keeping the Seomyeon shelter safe.

Some of the ability users from other areas had quickly left saying they needed to go back to their shelters.

Others had stayed saying they would help the Seomyeon shelter return to normal first.

Finally, there were people who were resting because they were completely drained.

Choi Han thought about the people who had been together with Cale and him.

Everybody was probably waiting for Cale to wake up.

He looked at the person who was now walking past him.

It was Park Jin Tae.

“…Do you have something to say to me?”

Choi Han asked Park Jin Tae who had stopped next to him.

Park Jin Tae had not said a thing while waiting in this room since the battle had ended.

“…You.”

Park Jin Tae slowly started to speak.

He was looking at Choi Han's appearance.

“…Kim Rok Soo is up now. Why don't you take care of yourself as well?”

Choi Han's eyes opened slightly wider.

Park Jin Tae avoided Choi Han's gaze and resumed walking.

“…The punk who struggled the most after Kim Rok Soo should take care of himself too.”

Choi Han subconsciously stared at the awkwardly mumbling Park Jin Tae before letting out a chuckle.

However, that quickly disappeared.

The last person was about to leave the room.

Choi Han closed the door even though he saw that person starting to walk to the door.

Screeeeech- click.

Choi Han looked at the person who was left with him and started to speak.
