Chapter 18 _ An illusion.

"Young Master-nim, are those two people on the screen your former subordinates?"

"Yes, they were members of my team, Ron"

"I understand"

{Chapter 502 - Does it work? (3)

Cale started to speak.

"Jung So Hoon."

"Why are you suddenly calling my name? Are you still not fully awake, sir?"

The person grumbling back was sitting in a corner of the room eating cup ramen.

Cale just stared at him. That made Jung So Hoon frown as he put down the chopsticks in his hand.

"...Should I boil another one?"

"I want regular ramen instead. Make sure to add an egg."}

"You really were addicted to ramen instead. Your cupboard was full of that stuff"

"They're easy to make and eat. And the expiration date is long."

"Food cooked to order tastes better"

"And more expensive and time consuming"

"Doesn't change the fact that it's tastier and healthier"

"And it also doesn't change the fact that it takes longer to do. A monster wouldn't wait that long to attack."

"..."

Cale turned forward.

He wasn't wrong, so there was no need to argue further.

But his talk about a monster not waiting to attack made some people flinch.

Choi Han*, who tried to push what Korea should have become into the corner of his mind, faltered and trembled at the thought of monsters. When thinking that his family fought monsters similar to what he had to fight in the Forest of Darkness.

It was terrible.

He doesn't wish that on other people, let alone individuals from the same place he came from or his family. But he needs to accept that, however much it's squeezing his chest.

{"Ow."

Jung So Hoon who got up while grumbling slowly headed to the small kitchen.

"Team leader-nim! Is this the time to be eating ramen? Are you eating one too because that punk is eating one?"

A woman who seemed to be in her early thirties gathered the documents on the table before frowning toward Cale.

"Kim Min Ah."}

"She looks different"

Choi Han was comparing this Kim Min Ah to the Kim Min Ah he saw in the Sealed God test.

The two are different.

Even through the screen you can see it.

"Time changes many things"

It was obvious to Cale that she would be different.

No one remains the same over time and experiences.

Min Ah was one of those people who changed over the years. She had to change to survive.

"Do you know her?"

Choi Han* asked his look-alike.

"When I participated in a test in another world to help Cale-nim, I met her"
