Three Meals of a Reincarnator-Chapter 318

Chapter 318: Chapter 318

Her eyes and facial expression contained something that Ho Sung Lee didn’t know.

It almost seemed as though she had a hidden card that would allow them to resolve things easily.

“What do you mean?” Ho Sung Lee asked with anticipation and nervousness.

“Like they said, the public can change their minds easily. But they’ve yet to do that.”

“In that case…”

Ji Yoo Kim nodded.

“We’re going to touch the hearts of people all over the world.”

“So we’re going to beat them to the media.”

“We have to make them feel certain so that they won’t change their minds about Min Sung.”

“But if we want to do that, we have to control the media somehow. Can we do that?”

“We’ll have to try. That’s why we have to act first.”

“I’ve never done this before. If you give me the guidelines, I’ll follow your lead.”

“Sure. Don’t worry about that.”

Ho Sung Lee sighed.

“I’m relieved that we might have found a way.”

He then scratched his head and grimaced.

“I thought they’d just back down if I mentioned Min Sung, but it’s not that easy.”

Ji Yoo Kim saw Ho Sung Lee speak with a tired face and flashed him a smile.

“Shall we eat something?”

In response, Ho Sung Lee stared into the distance for a moment.

“Ho Sung?”

“Oh, yes?”

“What are you thinking about?”

Ho Sung Lee smiled bitterly.

“Min Sung.”

“Min Sung?”

“Yes. To Min Sung, meals are very important. But since he’s in the Demonic Realm, he’s probably not eating anything.”

“That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t eat. We’ll have to recharge so that we can do what Min Sung instructed. Don’t you think?”

Ho Sung Lee nodded.

“I shouldn’t be so down. You’re right. Let’s go and eat. Is there anything you’re craving?”

“Hm… I’m up for anything.”

“Then how about some clean short rib soup?”

“Is there a good place nearby?”

Ji Yoo Kim asked Ho Sung Lee with anticipating eyes.

“Of course. I’m in charge of taking Min Sung to all the best places. Haha, let’s go.”

Ho Sung Lee pointed at the black sedan.

He told the driver their destination, and Ho Sung Lee and Ji Yoo Kim set out to have a meal.

***

Ho Sung Lee and Ji Yoo Kim entered the restaurant together and sat across from each other.

“Two short rib soups, please.”

Ho Sung Lee ordered, and the kitchen began cooking immediately.

“I was actually really hungry. I’m glad we’ere here. It must be good.”

“This is a good restaurant. It’ll exceed your expectations.”

“Wow.”

Ji Yoo Kim clenched her fists with excitement.

“Does Min Sung always eat what you recommend?”

Ji Yoo Kim asked with sparkling eyes.

Upon seeing her face, Ho Sung Lee laughed.

“Hm? Why are you laughing?”

“No reason.”

Ho Sung Lee shook his head and took a sip of his water.

Ji Yoo Kim puffed up her cheeks.

“Tell me. Why are you laughing?”

“It’s just that… you seem to be very curious about Min Sung.”

“What? That’s not true.”

Ho Sung Lee showed a surprised face at Ji Yoo Kim.

“Your face looks like it’s about to explode?”

In response, Ji Yoo Kim immediately deflated her cheeks. She checked her face and blushed even more.

“It’s not what you think.”

“Okay, sure. Hm, Min Sung usually goes to the restaurants I recommend. But most of the time, I cook for him.”

“You do?” Ji Yoo Kim asked as she put powder on her face.

“Yes. I’d say it’s probably better than food by most chefs, haha.”

“Wow, that’s amazing! All I can make is instant noodles,” said Ji Yoo Kim with a dejected face.

“You have to be interested, and it takes a lot of time. Since you have to take care of the country, it’s a given that you don’t cook.”

“Thanks for comforting me.”

Ji Yoo Kim smiled as she shut her compact powder.

Ho Sung Lee looked at Ji Yoo Kim and thought she was quite pretty.

A pretty woman like that seemed to be interested, but…

Ho Sung Lee thought of Min Sung and immediately let out a big sigh.

“Why are you sighing…?”

Ji Yoo Kim looked at Ho Sung Lee with wide eyes.

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

“The food is here.”

At that moment, an employee showed up with two bowls of short rib soup.

Gurgle, gurgle!

It was boiling like crazy.

It looked hot just looking at it.

While Ji Yoo Kim stared at it blankly, Ho Sung Lee opened the lid of the bowl that contained the marinade for the soup.

“Would you like to add some?” Ho Sung Lee asked while pointing at the marinade.

“What’s that?”

Ji Yoo Kim asked with her eyes fixed on the spice.

“Most people call it Japanese red-pepper sauce. It’s a marinade. If you add this, it’ll taste refreshing and spicy.”

“I’ll add some!”

“Add around this much.”

Ho Sung Lee added a spoonful into her bowl.

He then added the same amount into his own bowl.

After that, before opening the bowl of rice, he picked up the tongs and scissors.

Ji Yoo Kim copied Ho Sung Lee’s actions and cut the meat attached to the bones.

Upon finishing that process, they began eating.

Ho Sung Lee didn’t add the rice into the soup, but Ji Yoo Kim decided to put all of it in.

Unlike Ji Yoo Kim, who was eating it like rice soup, Ho Sung Lee preferred a different style.

He ate half of his meal with the rice and soup separately, and then he finished the rest of the rice inside the soup.

When he told this to Ji Yoo Kim, she appeared to have a hard time understanding.

“Why?”

“If you put the rice into your soup, the taste of the soup will become blander as a result. Enjoy the broth first before you enjoy a rice soup.”

“Oh no.”

Ji Yoo Kim understood and looked down at her short rib soup as if she regretted what she just did.

Ho Sung Lee smiled at Ji Yoo Kim before drinking some soup.

The broth of this short rib soup restaurant was pale white and tasted like beef bone soup.

As for the side dishes, there was kimchi pancakes, glass noodles, radish kimchi, and marinated bean sprouts.

Although there were little side dishes, they were able to enjoy the cleanliness of it and not feel bloated afterward.

That was because they didn’t use many preservatives.

Ho Sung Lee drank the warm and sweet broth as he thought of Min Sung.

He was probably still in the Demonic Realm.

‘He must be hungry.’

Ho Sung Lee looked down at his short rib soup and came to his senses.

Like Ji Yoo Kim had said, they had to eat up.

‘I should cherish this meal.’

That was something he had learned from Min Sung Kang.

***

Hellcard sat in a lotus position and absorbed the energy of the Demonic Realm within the ground.

Since there was no guarantee that he could win a fight against Min Sung Kang if they fought now, he had to undergo a sequence of events.

And that took time.

Just like how it took time for stiff bodies to loosen up, in order to awaken his power that was currently asleep, he had to give it time.

And in order to do that, he had to hide from Min Sung Kang and focus on absorbing the energy from the Demonic Realm.

Although it seemed simple, it required great mental focus, and as a result, it was also highly effective.

Hellcard, who was in a lotus position, was slowly changing since he was gaining power.

His body was getting bigger, the black scales on his skin turned shinier, and as for his magic energy, it charged without end.

The black magic square underneath his lotus position became more and more powerful as time went on.

But since his location couldn’t be detected by Min Sung Kang, he had to hide his magic energy while also reclaiming his senses, which took up a lot of mental capacity.

Even if he received the power of the great god, this was Hellcard.

The one who made Heaven tremble in fear!

That was Hellcard.

It angered him that he had to hide from the sight of a human, but in good time, he would be able to stomp all over him.

In order to achieve that sweet moment, Hellcard suppressed his urges and focused on reclaiming his lost power.

He tried to look for other ways, but it was best not to rush.

It wouldn’t take that long anyway.

‘I’ll kill you once and for all.’

Hellcard smiled.

***

Min Sung did his best to find Hellcard, but he couldn’t find a way.

He had no idea how long it would take at this point.

For that reason, he made a decision.

He didn’t know how big the Demonic Realm was, but he thought that destroying the land of the demonic Realm would be the quickest way.

Min Sung leaped off of the ground.

And surprisingly, his body flew into the air as if he had wings on his back.

He continued to soar up into the sky, and once he liked his position, he stopped.

Min Sung slowly raised his hands.

And within his hands, the power of the great god gathered.

Kaboommmmm!

The thunder from the sky of the Demonic Realm gathered in Min Sung’s hands.

The huge wave of magic energy began to gather.

And then… Min Sung swung his arm as if he was throwing a small ball.

There was no sound.

It was just a flash that crossed his vision.

***

Rumbleeee!

Hellcard jolted his eyes wide open.

The ground was shaking, and it was becoming more and more intense.

Hellcard immediately knew what the human was trying to do.

‘That damned human!’

The human in the position of the devil god was destroying the land of the Demonic Realm.

It was logically hard to understand, but once he thought about it, it made sense.

He was a human, and since he had a strong desire to return to the human world, he didn’t care about destroying the Demonic Realm.

Once Hellcard realized that, he became restless.

If he had the power of the great god, it wouldn’t take long for him to bring down the Demonic Realm.

He couldn’t let the Demonic Realm disappear.

The Demonic Realm was his roots and the star where he was born.

He couldn’t accept that a mere human would make the Demonic Realm with much history disappear overnight.
