Chapter 277: An Unexpected Reunion

“W-What is this?”

“Husband… what’s going on right now?”

“Why did he break the window…”

“Is that… Mr . Kang Chul-In…?”

The parents recognized Kang Chul-In .

“Whoa!”

A male student pointed at Kang Chul-In .

“It’s Kang Chul-In!”

At his words, the eyes of the elementary students almost popped out of their eye sockets .

“Wow!”

“It’s Kang Chul-In!”

“It’s the supernatural!”

“Kyaaaaa!”

Their reactions were explosive .

After the incident with the dungeon gate, Kang Chul-In was considered a sort of a superhero .

The Great Summoning and Kang Chul-In’s contributions were recorded in detail in history textbooks of elementary to high school students, so everyone in their generation knew about him .

“B-But the window…”

“What about the cracked glass…”

“What if the kids get hurt…”

However, his way of arrival was the problem . He had broken through the window with his usual habits thinking he was late .

“O-Oh…”

Kang Chul-In scratched the back of his head after realizing the situation . He realized he put himself in an embarrassing scenario .

“Well, the glass first…”

Kang Chul-In stretched his hand over towards the cracked glass .

Whoosh, swoosh!

A blue fire of mana flared from his palm and the cracked pieces of glass floated up .

“Huk…!”

“P-Psychokinesis?”

“So… that’s… the thing… I only read about in… action novels…”

“Goodness…”

“Kang Chul-In is a supernatural… I didn’t see wrong on the news… it was true…”

The parents were all surprised .

“A s-supernatural!”

“Wow!”

“It’s magic!”

The students were all surprised as well .

Oops!

Kang Chul-In looked awkward . It was because he hadn’t meant to arrive with all this commotion, but after using his mana, everyone was focused on him .

“S-Son?”

Park Sun-ja wasn’t an exception .

“Your showmanship has improved . . . hohoho…”

Kang Chul-In’s face crumpled .

Creak!

Just then, three women arrived as the classroom door opened .

“Ah~! So this is a school~ . ”

“South Korean schools are nice…”

Ninetails and Skadi looked around in amazement . They looked like people from the countryside who had never seen anything like this before .

“H-Hello . Sorry to be so loud…”

On the other hand, Lee Chae-rin was embarrassed because she knew they were causing a commotion . She had an awkward expression on .

At least one of them is normal…

For Kang Chul-In, it was a relief that one of his wives was from Earth, and also from Korea .

“Wow, that unnie is pretty… she looks like a fox…”

“I-It’s a foreigner unnie!”

“That noona looks prettier than Kang Tae-Hee noona!” [1]

The three were all married, but no one called any of them “old ladies . ” You could probably count all the people who would call Kang Chul-In’s wives old ladies on one hand . It was rare for people to have that much beauty and charm!

“What are you looking at!?”

“Sunghoon’s dad, look somewhere else!”

“Why don’t we go somewhere quiet?”

Thanks to that, all the fathers present received sharp glares from their wives . All men would go crazy for pretty things .

“Uh… who are you?”

Just then, a curious mother asked Ninetails a question .

“Are you here to see your little sibling…?”

“No?”

“Pardon?”

“I came to see my daughter . There . ”

Ninetails pointed at Arshelly .

“Mom!”

Arshelly smiled widely and waved her hand .

“Ah… I see… you must’ve married early…”

“We’re in our honeymoon phase . ”

“H-Honeymoon?”

The mother had a questioning face at the confusing answer and turned her head to Lee Chae-rin .

“Then who are you, miss…?”

“My daughter . ”

“Sorry?”

“That child over there . ”

Lee Chae-rin pointed at Arshelly .

“Mom!”

Arshelly waved her hand again .

“What? That missus said that child is…”

“Yes, she’s right . ”

“W-What did you say?”

“She’s also my daughter . I’m also the mother of that child . ”

Lee Chae-rin was confident and didn’t hesitate to reveal that Arshelly was her daughter .

It was a challenge against prejudice and also because of her limitless love for Kang Chul-In . The gazes of people around her? Nonsense! If she was going to excuse herself from this kind of situation, she wouldn’t have chosen to marry Kang Chul-In in the first place .

“W-What did I hear just now?”

The person to ask the question was shocked .

“R-Right?”

“No way~! They’re probably just sisters! Or maybe she just thinks of her as her daughter . ”

“He wouldn’t be living in two households…”

“That was a good joke~ . ”

The other parents were shocked as well .

“M-Me too!”

Just then, Skadi’s hand shot up .

“I… may not be qualified… b-but… I-I’m also the mother… of that child…”

“Yes! She is also my mother!”

It was a shy statement, but Arshelly didn’t hesitate to acknowledge Skadi as her mother either .

“T-Three moms?”

“No way… it can’t be…”

“What in the world…”

“She’s probably just a relative…”

The other parents didn’t believe them at all . They all just thought that they considered Arshelly someone close enough to be their daughter .

However… there was an incident that threw cold water on their thoughts .

“Honey~!”

“Husband~!”

“H-Husband…”

The three women stood next to Kang Chul-In . However, they weren’t just standing there . He had Ninetails on his right arm and Lee Chae-rin on his left arm . The person who had the lowest share was Skadi, who was simply standing next to Kang Chul-In .

“ . . . !”

There was a silence among the parents .

C-Could it be… three households?!

Everyone was thinking the same thing .

Things happened in life . They thought that it might be possible for him to have two households… but three? It was something that was hard to accept . It wasn’t even the Joseon era [2] right now!

Whoa… a hero has three wives and three households…

Lucky… so lucky…

Is that the life of someone who has succeeded in life…!?

Even rich people don’t have that much… i-if I was an adventurer or a Lord at least…

The dads looked at Kang Chul-In with envy . Wasn’t it the dream of all men to have multiple wives at least once in their lives?

Of course, Kang Chul-In had never wanted something like that .

“My daughter . ”

Regardless of whatever the people around him were whispering about, Kang Chul-In smiled at Arshelly .

He was the Supreme King of the West, Kang Chul-In .

Why would a man called the Hitler of Pangaea, the greatest murderer, massacrer, dominating lord, villain, scammer, hound, and more care what others babbled about?

“D-Dad!”

Arshelly’s eyes were sparkling . Wasn’t he such a caring dad? The Kang Chul-In that she thought would never come was here, and she couldn’t be happier .

I love you, Dad!

I love you too, Daughter!

It was silent communication . Affection overflowed in the eyes of the dad and daughter . Nothing could be done . Kang Chul-In was a fool for his daughter, and Arshelly was a fool for her father!

***

Meanwhile, at the same time in Pentagon of the Biforest territory, while Kang Chul-In was spending a nice time on Earth, Vilhelm was also spending a pretty nice time at his home .

Thwak!

It was a clear sound .

Mei Ling’s head turned the other way .

“Trash-like bitch . ”

As soon as he slapped her, Vilhelm growled sharply .

“H-Husband…”

Mei Ling called for Vilhelm in a weak voice with a red cheek from being slapped, but Vilhelm just looked at her with despising eyes .

“You should’ve died instead . ”

“ . . . !”

“You could’ve bitten your tongue or jumped from the castle walls . Shouldn’t you have killed yourself somehow?”

They were cold words . Vilhelm’s words were sharper than the knife-like winds from the north .

“H-However…”

Mei Ling continued with a sob .

“What about our child? What about Viktor? I wanted to die, too! But don’t you know that there was nothing we could do to save our child?”

She still had something to say . Viktor Vilhelm . The reason why she surrendered to Kang Chul-In and helped him enter the Pentagon was to save the newborn baby that wasn’t even 1 year old .

“Look . ”

Mei Ling held Viktor out to Albrecht .

“It’s your child . ”

“My child…”

“It’s your child . ”

“Is that so?”

“ . . . !”

“From what I can see… the child in your arms…”

Vilhelm took Viktor from Mei Ling’s arms .

“H-Husband!”

“Because of merely this child… because of this useless life, you sold your land, is that what you’re saying?”

“ . . . !”

“Is this life alone more important than our soldiers who died in front of the Deathwin territory? Enough to sell the soldiers of our Alliance over?”

Vilhelm spewed his words out .

“Are we just some organization? Our brethren gathered to give this continent peace from that… Kang Chul-In, the demon of the west . ”

“ . . . ”

“You sold our sovereigns to the enemy . Just to save this life . ”

He was shouting in anger .

“Uhwang~! Uhwang~!”

Viktor began to cry .

However, Vilhelm didn’t care whether his son cried or not .

“Just because of this useless life!”

Instead… he threw Viktor to the ground . A newborn baby .

“N-No!”

Ao Xin, who had been watching silently, tossed his body where his nephew was with a shout .

Tuk, drrrrrr…!

Viktor didn’t explode on the ground .

It was because Ao Xin had succeeded in catching the baby .

“Uhwang~! Uhwangggggg~!”

The surprised Viktor’s cries rang out in the Pentagon .

“Vilhelm! W-What are you doing!? What sins would this child have!?”

“What doesn’t he?”

Vilhelm replied coldly to Ao Xin .

“Didn’t I say so? This child is the origin of evil . ”

“V-Vilhelm…!”

“Our northern alliance lost the victory that we almost had, and our brothers were almost murdered by Kang Chul-In . Also, we lost Venetz . This child… shouldn’t have existed . ”

What Vilhelm did was very similar to the historical event when Liu Bei threw his son A’dou to the ground . [3]

Actually, this was all set-up beforehand . Vilhelm throwing Viktor and Ao Xin catching his nephew was all a plan that Ao Xin came up with .

The plan was effective .

“Vilhelm… Sir…”

“I didn’t know that was how you thought of the northern alliance…”

“Huh… he even threw a newborn baby…”

The sovereigns who had been disappointed in Vilhelm couldn’t condemn him anymore .

They couldn’t blame someone who expressed his anger towards his wife and threw his own son who wasn’t even a year old to the ground .

Of course, it wasn’t like the anger of the sovereigns would be swept away .

There would be some who become dissatisfied with Vilhelm, so his political stance wouldn’t be as secure as before .

This act was something that was just a small lifeline for Vilhelm .

Vilhelm was still furious at his wife .

Mei Ling… if only it wasn’t for you!

Their marriage?

It was over now .

Whether they got divorced or not, their normal marriage life was completely finished .

***

As expected of my daughter, she stands out the most .

The person in charge of spitting a few families apart was enjoying the moments of being a dad, looking at Arshelly in the classroom .

However, Kang Chul-In’s gaze then headed towards Arshelly’s teacher .

Where have I seen her before?

She was familiar somehow .

I’ve definitely seen her somewhere…

If it was a woman who had a beauty that could match his three wives…

Could it be!?

Kang Chul-In suddenly remembered a face from a long time ago in his memory .

Han Ye-Sun? Is it that Han Ye-Sun?

It had already been 10 years ago . The memory that was now faint began to fill his head .

Spark!

Just then, Han Ye-Sun and Kang Chul-In met eyes .

You . . .

She mouthed something to Kang Chul-In .

Rude . Bastard .

. . .

Bastard .

Kang Chul-In realized who the woman was .

How could he forget?

This woman, Han Ye-Sun, was someone that Kang Chul-In might forget for a little while, but would forever remember .

She was…
