Chapter 117
Jaeha knew he was a crazy bastard from the moment Izzen first came to him. Not beating him to death back then was what he now regretted most bitterly.
Of course, he did beat him back then. He did, but Izzen had a better pain tolerance than he thought. He got beaten to a pulp and ran away, and from then on, he always appeared before him fully prepared with a ton of magic charged up. Jaeha inwardly clicked his tongue, thinking that there was no keeping up with what a crazy person does. Thanks to that, even now, when he was beating him with the intention of actually killing him, Izzen was somehow surviving and spouting that crazy nonsense.
Of course, in Jaeha’s current state, even if Izzen were to die, he would drag him back from hell and beat him more. If he couldn’t drag him back, he would beat him while throwing him into the fires of hell. Truly, no amount of beating until the end of the world would be enough to satisfy him.
That crazy bastard, Izzen’s family, was a prestigious one that had served the Demon King for generations, acting as the mastermind behind everything. Their specialty and main field of work were behind-the-scenes schemes, such as conspiracies, plots, and sowing discord, to help the Demon King do evil deeds.
Even after a peace treaty was established between the demons and humans, and the demons decided not to live wickedly anymore, they still obsessed over schemes, plots, and all sorts of behind-the-scenes dirty work. They insisted that a demon should always live a wicked life and commit evil deeds. They did so even while everyone else treated them like idiots. They were frustratingly old-fashioned people who chose to remain a relic of a bygone era, no matter how much times changed.
Because of this, they accepted words like “wicked” or “evil” as compliments and took words like “kind” or “good” as insults.
Izzen, who was born into that family, also received an education from a young age to become a great mastermind. He received a lot of it, an absurdly large amount. Their insane educational fervor gave birth to this insane, one-of-a-kind bastard.
“So why did you do it? Let me hear your reason before I kill you.”
“Cough……!”
Jaeha suddenly kicked Izzen’s body, which he had been stepping on. He prodded Izzen’s side, who had rolled over from the kick, and mocked him.
“Were you that greedy for Heesu’s magic? Sure, it’s a lot for a human, but it wasn’t an unmanageable level, was it? You clearly knew you would be killed by me, so why did you choose Heesu, of all people? Hmm……?”
Izzen flinched every time Jaeha’s foot poked his side. It didn’t hurt much, but he knew Jaeha would kick him hard enough to split his side open depending on his answer.
However, if he was afraid of that, he wouldn’t have done what he did in the first place. No, in fact, he was afraid, but he was already prepared. Even though he was trembling, he was prepared.
Izzen steeled himself and opened his mouth.
“I didn’t choose Heesu out of all people. I chose her because it was her.”
“What?”
His foot stopped at the unexpected words. Jaeha frowned and asked,
“What kind of crazy b******t is that?”
“That person will be your shackle in the future. As long as she exists, you will never leave the Human World and will not try to return to the Demon World. But she is now caught up in my plan and has entered the laws of the Demon World. It’s no different than her already belonging to the Demon World. Now you will have no choice but to take her with you. I did this for that reason. The other magical girls were nothing more than test subjects to successfully lure her into the trap.”
“You crazy…….”
Jaeha’s expression twisted. It was so absurd that he couldn’t even think of hitting him.
“That’s some fresh b******t. So you touched Heesu? F**k. How could I have endured it all this time? What was I thinking when I protected her all this time?!”
“Exactly. Why did you do that? It was all pointless.”
When Izzen said that mockingly, Jaeha, infuriated, yelled.
“She’s my sister! Why is protecting her pointless?!”
“Sister? Who in the world is your sister? You have become quite obsessed with this human game of family.”
At those words, Jaeha gritted his teeth and finally kicked Izzen’s side hard.
“You son of a b***h!”
“Cough!”
Even while writhing in pain, Izzen’s eyes were wide open.
“Why? Was I wrong? Don’t tell me, you actually thought you could become a real family?”
“…….”
Jaeha was speechless at Izzen’s question. His eyes, which were always a deep black, rarely wavered and showed emotion. Watching that raw fluctuation, Izzen raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.
“I had to do something like this for you to realize. I did all of this for your sake.”
“F**k!!”
Jaeha yelled and kicked Izzen again. He kicked him over and over until his anger subsided. He was so resentful that he hadn’t killed him earlier that it seemed better to kill him now. He kicked with that kind of intensity. He knew that Izzen had truly died at some point since he stopped screaming, but he still kept kicking.
He really should not have ignored that crazy bastard. He shouldn’t have thought of it as easy to just ignore him. He should have dealt with him for good, but he never thought that crazy bastard would mess things up this badly.
He messed things up.
Jaeha still couldn’t tell if that was the right expression.
Heesu had been his family for a long time. She was a person he should rightfully protect and care for as a family member. Just as he had played the part of a son to his parents, staying within the bounds of family, he had to rightfully play the part of a younger brother to Heesu. Although he couldn’t be a good and kind younger brother, he still acted like other siblings and genuinely thought of her as his sister…….
But why now?
No, from the very beginning, for even just one moment,
Had he ever truly thought of Heesu as his sister?
