CHAPTER 3
The entire house fell silent.
Only the sound of rain outside could be heard.
Jinwoo stared fearfully at the masked intruders standing inside their home.
Mai quickly hid behind Mrs Sung.
Mr Sung slowly stepped forward.
His face remained calm.
But his eyes…
Were terrifying.
“You entered my house,” he said coldly.
One assassin laughed nervously.
“You’re surrounded, old man.”
Mr Sung ignored him completely.
His eyes focused only on Shizuka.
“You’re young,” he said quietly.
“You should’ve stayed away from this world.”
Shizuka tightened her grip on her blade.
“I’m not here for advice.”
Then suddenly—
WHOOSH!
Mr Sung disappeared.
The assassins’ eyes widened.
“Wha—?!”
SLASH!!!
Blood splashed across the wall.
One assassin collapsed instantly.
CRACK!
Another’s neck twisted unnaturally.
Screams filled the room.
Jinwoo’s eyes widened in shock.
His father moved like a ghost.
No—
Like a monster.
The assassins panicked immediately.
“He’s too fast!”
“Shoot him!”
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Gunshots exploded through the house.
But Mr Sung dodged effortlessly.
He moved through bullets like flowing water.
SLASH!
Another assassin fell.
Within seconds, bodies covered the floor.
Even Shizuka looked shocked.
“So the rumors were true…” she whispered.
Mr Sung slowly turned toward her.
“You still have time to leave.”
But Shizuka’s expression became serious.
Then suddenly—
She rushed toward Mrs Sung.
Mai screamed.
“MOM!!”
Before anyone could react, Shizuka grabbed Mai and held a knife to her throat.
Everything stopped instantly.
Mr Sung froze.
For the first time—
Fear appeared in his eyes.
“Dad…” Mai cried softly.
Mrs Sung trembled helplessly.
“Please… don’t hurt her…”
Shizuka’s voice became cold.
“Drop your weapon.”
The room became silent.
Mr Sung stared at his daughter.
His hands slowly tightened.
Then finally—
CLANG.
His knife dropped to the floor.
The assassins around him smiled darkly.
One of them punched Mr Sung hard across the face.
Another kicked him to the ground.
Jinwoo tried to run forward.
“DAD!”
An assassin grabbed him immediately and threw him backward.
Mrs Sung cried desperately.
“Stop! Please stop!”
Shizuka looked at the family silently.
For some reason…
Something inside her felt uncomfortable.
But Boss Yuno’s orders echoed in her mind.
“Leave nobody alive.”
One assassin pointed his gun at Mr Sung’s head.
“Any last words?”
Mr Sung slowly looked toward Jinwoo.
Their eyes met.
For a brief moment, everything became quiet.
Then Mr Sung spoke softly.
“Run.”
Jinwoo froze.
“What…?”
“RUN!!”
Suddenly—
BOOOOM!!!
An explosion erupted outside the house.
The wall shattered violently.
Smoke filled the room instantly.
The assassins stumbled in confusion.
Mr Sung used the moment immediately.
CRACK!
He broke one assassin’s arm.
SLASH!
Another fell bleeding.
Chaos exploded everywhere.
“Kill him!”
“Don’t let the boy escape!”
Jinwoo stood frozen in fear as flames slowly began spreading through the house.
Then—
Another explosion.
BOOOOOOM!!!
The ceiling collapsed.
Mrs Sung screamed.
Mai cried loudly.
The entire house became surrounded by fire.
And standing inside the flames…
Shizuka watched silently.
