Chapter 100
Team Leader Gu Myeong-ho: “Ambushed during confidential operation”
IHL Escort Chief Kwon Se-jeong: “Sincere gratitude to From Hell Guild Master”
Director Hwang Moon-seok of Each Administrative Country: “Choi Gang-hu’s actions are a manifestation of patriotism”
Is there a globally influential shadowy organization? Truth or fiction
A flood of explanatory articles from association officials poured out. Some details of Hwang Moon-seok’s disappearance and rescue operation were disclosed, and the interviews emphasized Choi Gang-hu’s achievements in ultimately resolving the issue.
Choi Gang-hu’s rank blinds lifted... Judged unmeasurable
World’s first SS-rank birth? Flaw in current ranking system or measurement error?
Ability analysis: How could Choi Gang-hu’s tsunami result in zero casualties?
From Hell Guild Master: “Will restore to original state” Guarantees recovery of damaged areas
Choi Gang-hu’s interview was also promptly reported, but this rather had a counterproductive effect.
How’s he gonna restore it?
└ He’ll just donate construction items by throwing money around
So arrogant smh
└ Is being rich everything? It’s not just once or twice
└ Seriously ridiculous lol What did the suddenly affected diplomats do wrong
The Each Administrative Country bastards are shielding hard
└ Talking about shadowy orgs and even bringing up conspiracy theories, the association guys definitely took bribes lol
Public opinion, far from being quelled, flared up as if oil had been poured on it.
But is he really SS-rank?
└ Yeah, SSS-rank
└ I bet on measurement error
└ Didn’t you see the site photos? Think that’s possible for an ordinary S-rank?
If it showed unmeasurable shouldn’t he be retested, why just stir up attention@@@@
Whether S-rank or SS-rank, why cause havoc in other countries? What about the aftermath
The atmosphere seems too heated now. They say it was unavoidable during the rescue operation, can’t we wait and see a bit more?
└ Sure, next paid commenter lol
The atmosphere, already permeated with distrust, even drove those advocating caution to be labeled as paid commenters.
Tsunami warnings along southern coast all lifted last night
From Hell Guild promising customized compensation by region: “Negotiations with uninhabited island owner complete”
Estimated property damage in Busan, Ulsan, Geoje Island, Tongyeong, Changwon, etc?
Brazilian Foreign Minister: “Compensation proportional to damage scale is appropriate”
“The foreign land ownership issue is more complicated to handle than I thought.”
Ryu Seo-ha, who had been staring up at his lover whispering while fiddling with his hand, impulsively reached out and tightly hugged his thick torso. Choi Gang-hu, who had momentarily hesitated at the action of his young lover burying his face in his chest, let out a low chuckle.
“...No matter how prettily you act, you still can’t leave here.”
Contrary to the words spoken in a seemingly firm tone, the movement of the large hand stroking his head was only gentle. Ryu Seo-ha, who had been quietly enjoying the warm touch with his eyes closed, soon straightened up with a resolute expression.
“I have something to confess.”
He couldn’t keep subtly avoiding his skinship forever. Making arbitrary judgments alone and avoiding situations to create misunderstandings was enough once. He didn’t want to repeat the same mistake. He didn’t want to hurt his precious lover either.
“Why do you always have such grave content to announce?”
With a low sigh, Ryu Seo-ha’s body was gently placed on the sun lounger beside them. Choi Gang-hu had moved him from sitting on his thigh. It was a sign that he would listen seriously to whatever he had to say.
“...My lifespan.”
Ryu Seo-ha, who had squeezed out courage to open his mouth, took a moment to catch his breath at the feeling of his throat being pressed down. Even if it’s scary, even if it’s hard, he had to convey the full content. He couldn’t leave Choi Gang-hu craving skinship without knowing anything. That would be clear deception.
“The reason my lifespan has increased is because I’ve stolen Choi Gang-hu’s lifespan.”
A voice much stiffer than usual barely flowed out. Ryu Seo-ha tightly clenched his finely trembling fist.
“So, it would be better to stop skinship involving the exchange of bodily fluids from now...”
Ryu Seo-ha, who had been continuing to speak with his eyes lowered, unable to face him directly, was startled and leaned his upper body back. It was because Choi Gang-hu had suddenly pressed his lips against his. But a large hand grasping his chin prevented him from avoiding his face.
“Mmph... What are you...!”
Though he tried to twist his head somehow, the difference in their grip strength was not something that could be overcome by will. Their saliva mixed and mixed again.
Status: Remaining lifespan 94 days 20 hours 7 minutes
Even amidst the breathlessness from the kiss that pounced on him like a beast, Ryu Seo-ha opened his status window to check the numbers increasing in real-time. His gaze wavered pitifully. No. No, please...
Status: Remaining lifespan 94 days 20 hours 17 minutes
Despite his desperate prayer, the remaining lifespan was increasing cruelly fast. When he had wanted it so badly before, it had only decreased sharply... Ryu Seo-ha, squeezing his eyes shut, finally had no choice but to use his last resort.
Trait ‘Sanctification’ is activated.
The barrier that appeared enveloping his body greatly expanded its range and pushed Choi Gang-hu’s body to the opposite side. Their lips, which had been stickily entangled, finally separated. Choi Gang-hu’s expression thus faced looked as calm as ever.
“It’s been a while. Being pushed away by that ability.”
“Why on earth...”
His face, even faintly holding a smile as if reminiscing about old memories, showed no emotional turmoil from learning the shocking fact.
“May I make a confession too?”
Choi Gang-hu asked leisurely while straightening his pushed-back upper body. Unlike his relaxed posture, his gaze was very serious.
“The kiss I gave the day after you attempted to escape wasn’t my first kiss.”
Before he could answer, an incomprehensible, very abrupt confession followed. Given his age it wasn’t so surprising, but considering his background of intentionally distancing himself from sexual objects due to contempt for his father, it was an unexpected confession.
“When Ryu Seo-ha, who had saved my sister, lost consciousness in the water, I gave you mouth-to-mouth.”
While he was puzzled, Choi Gang-hu added surprising words.
“I also learned then that my lifespan wears down when our saliva mixes.”
