Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!-Chapter 175 - - Odd Reunion (Part 3)

With that, Talon, Hyun-Jae, and Sophie sat down nearby. Even though they seemed like they were acting normally, there was an invisible tension between them that one couldn't easily detect.

On the one hand, Talon and Hyun-Jae had their suspicions about the girl since she came from a potential enemy base. They didn't know what her real goals were and they didn't want to simply let her do whatever she wanted.

On the other hand, Sophie was panicking since she thought that Talon had somehow grown to hate her in the few years they were away from each other and now saw her as a stranger. That idea alone sent a shiver down her spine and made her chest tighten painfully.

She had been dreaming of this moment for years. Every single night, she would imagine a future where she could be with him even though deep down, she knew how highly unlikely that idea was. She was a world-renowned actress with an amazing talent and a future that was bound to be successful.

She had countless fans and admirers around the world and she boasted a perfect reputation. In complete contrast, Talon was a normal person. He had no actual talents and he came from a rather poor family. The two of them should've never even met let alone dated and yet fate loved to be ironic every now and then.

"So, how did you two meet?" Hyun-Jae asked with a cold tone as she sat in the middle between Talon and Sophie. Her body was instinctively leaning closer to Talon without her realizing it.

Sophie noticed that and her smile turned a little forced for a moment.

'What is she trying to do? Wait… That look… Don't tell me…' It didn't take her long to realize what was happening. All it took Sophie was to stare into Hyun-Jae's eyes to see what she felt at that moment. 'She's after him too… Dammit! Why is she after him? He isn't someone you should even look at!

I know my Talon is amazing, but you two can't be any different.'

In reality, Sophie didn't simply know Hyun-Jae, she had run a full investigation on her before just in case. After all, she feared that Talon might catch the eyes of an outstanding woman. After all, in her eyes, he was a magnet for the opposite sex without even realizing it. He had charms that no one else she met had.

"Well, how should I explain this?" Talon thought for a moment before he snapped his fingers. "Let's say that my father and her father were old friends and so they did visit us a lot when I was young. That's how we met."

"Oh, you're bringing me a lot of memories! We used to play a lot in that small park near your house!" Sophie smiled.

"Yeah, that does bring back some memories. I also remember how you would end up crying every time I push the swing."

"Hey! Don't say that! I was a kid!"

Talon laughed at the girl as she pouted visibly.

Meanwhile, Hyun-Jae looked back and forth between them with a stoic expression. "You two seem like you had a lot of fun back then…"

"Of course! You have no idea, those were the best years of my life." Sophie giggled as she gave Hyun-Jae a secret glance.

'Yeah, I knew him for far longer than you did. I know everything about him. Now that I'm back, you can throw your intentions in the trash and move on.'

Hyun-Jae read that through her eyes and she felt her aura almost leaking out. But, she quickly calmed down and turned around. She didn't want to get irritated and fall into her trap like a fool.

"And then, what happened?"

"Uh, I asked her out back when we first enrolled in high school. We dated for two years and then we broke up when she had to move out of South Korea for her work. That's pretty much the entire thing." Talon shrugged.

"Yeah…" For a second, Sophie looked down as her face became gloomy. A memory of that day flashed in her head and made her chest tighten instantly. That was by far the worst memory she has in her life.

Choosing between her career and the love of her life, was a horrible situation. But, she still followed her heart rather than her mind and wanted to stay in South Korea. That day, she went to meet Talon to tell him the good news, but, things didn't go as she expected.

The atmosphere shifted again as Talon looked away with an emotionless expression. Hyun-Jae felt that change so she decided to continue on with the questions.

"That is certainly an interesting sorry you had there, Talon." She said.

"Yeah… That was the highlight of my life… Till a few weeks ago."

"Mmm, and you." Hyun-Jae then turned to Sophie. "If you're from Gwangju as you said, then what are you doing in Seoul?"

"Uh…" Sophie frowned. "Well, I can't really lie here and I wasn't intending to lie either way. I actually came here because I heard that Talon was still alive. I wanted to meet him."

"Huh?" (x2)

"I had to steal some vehicles and take this trip without anybody knowing. It was a little reckless." She laughed awkwardly.

"..."

Talon and Hyun-Jae stared silently at her. They didn't expect to hear such a response from the blonde girl.

"You came here looking for me?"

"Yeah… I was extremely worried about you. Haha, sorry about that."

"..." Talon opened his mouth to speak only to close it again and sigh. Then, he slowly started rubbing his temples.

'Of course, I'm so stupid. This is something that she would definitely do in a heartbeat. She didn't change at all since the last time we met.'

At that moment, Talon realized how much he overthought the entire situation. If there was one person who knew Sophie the best, it was him. She wasn't someone who likes people easily, but when she does, they would become her entire world and she would do anything for them in a heartbeat.

So, the fact that she stole cars and sneaked out of the base to travel almost the entire country just to see him wasn't something she wouldn't do.

'I remember how many times she snuck out of her movie shootings just so that she could meet me. It's still the same after years, huh…' Smiling wryly to himself, he looked up.

"You're still as reckless as ever." He said.

"Where did that come from?!"

"You are very reckless."

"Uh, I mean, I might be… But, that's beside the point! Aren't you glad to see me?" She retorted.

"Well, I am glad that you're fine. But, for a moment there, I thought that you were sent here by the government to gather information about our base."

"What?!" Sophie's eyes widened in shock as she immediately shook her head. "That was never my intention, I swear! I would never do anything like that to you! I would rather die!"

"Hey, hey, calm down. I know you won't, I just said that I suspected it."

"So, can we trust her?" Hyun-Jae asked.

"Yeah, I'm sure she didn't come here with bad intentions in mind. However, I can't say the same for her men." Turning around with a cold glare, Talon made the guards flinch visibly under his strong gaze.

"Oh, they aren't here with any bad intentions either. I dragged them here myself."

"I don't think I can trust them, even if they're your men, Sophie," Talon replied. Saying that, Talon stood up as he walked toward the guards.

The group naturally retreated when they felt the crushing aura that was approaching them. But, with a single glare, they all stopped in their tracks. When Talon reached them, he stopped.

"Ok, let's make this quick."

"Hu-"

*Swish*

Before they could even say a single word, Talon suddenly flashed for a moment before he appeared again in front of them the next second. In his arms was a pile of weapons and receivers.

The guards' eyes widened as they looked down, only to realize that their weapons were snatched.

Sophie stared at what happened as her eyes widened.

'I couldn't see him move… How is that even possible? When I heard that Talon killed Cha Kwang, I didn't think he would be this strong…' She thought to herself as she blinked.

"Are these all your weapons?" He asked.

"...!!"

"From your reactions, I'm going to assume they are. Good. I'm going to keep these. If any one of you dares to do anything stupid…" Then, Talon took one of the weapons before he showed it to the guards. Then, with a small squeeze.

*CRUSH*

The weapon was completely crushed in a single moment. Bits and pieces of it fell to the ground against the silence of everyone.

"I really don't want to make this hard for anyone. So, behave, understood?"

"..."

"I said… Understood?"

"Y-Yes, sir!!!" The guards quickly replied with pale looks.

"Good. Come on, Hyun-Jae. Let's go back." He said.
