Chapter 307

EP.307 Frenzy

“Hmm…?”

Adeline kept tilting her head, as if she had caught a whiff of some woman’s scent.

I poked the tip of her nose with my finger and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“It’s strange… I feel Sacred Energy coming from your body, Jihyuk… But…”

“But?”

“There’s also a slightly stinky smell… like a fart.”

The Sacred Energy seems to refer to Evil Energy…

But what’s with the stinky smell?

Is it Sehwa and Yuria’s energy? Or maybe the energy of traitors like Malphas?

“I don’t like it. It’s an unpleasant smell.”

I brushed it off casually.

“I stopped by the church for a bit. There were a lot of people there. Maybe you mistook the energy of the god they worship?”

“Hmm…! Is that so…? Maybe you’re right.”

“What were you doing while I was gone?”

At that, Adeline’s pretty face scrunched up slightly.

“Are you planning to keep an eye on me too, Jihyuk?”

“Huh? What do you mean…”

Adeline, who had let out a puff of air through her nose, sat on my lap.

“Today, I felt like Silvia was keeping an eye on me. Ugh… I really hated it.”

I smiled warmly and poked Adeline’s chubby cheeks.

She then pretended to bite my finger and said, “Stop it…!”

“But I want to poke them. What should I do?”

“Why are you playing such childish games when you’re not even in elementary school? Ah…! Really…! I said stop it…!”

Adeline waved her hands around, trying to block my arm.

I don’t know why she’s acting like a teenage girl today.

After calming her down, I asked, “Did you talk to Silvia?”

“No. She kept giving me weird lectures, so I didn’t get a chance to talk. And she kept defending Dr. Jennifer Cash. It was so annoying. You have no idea how much I missed you, Jihyuk.”

“Is that so?”

As I cooed at her like a child, Adeline glared at me once and then hugged me.

She even bit my chest hard enough to draw blood.

Now she wants to drink Sacred Blood without even asking.

It’s funny how she’s watching my reaction with those round eyes.

I answered by patting her head instead.

I think the preparations for corruption are complete.

Now, I need to set the stage for murder… What should I do?

If I let anger take over and destroy the opponent, and feel pleasure from that act, it would be perfect.

If this incident plays a decisive role in corruption, it would be the cherry on top.

To do that, I need to stress Adeline out.

I need to make her really angry. And I need to slip away from that.

“Umm…! It’s delicious…♡”

Adeline gulped down the blood with a satisfied smile and blinked her eyes.

It seems she suddenly felt sleepy.

With a gentle expression, I quietly said, “Get some good sleep.”

“Okay… Stay like this until I fall asleep. After I fall asleep, take me to bed.”

“Sure.”

Adeline, smiling brightly, tightly hugged my waist.

She licked the blood still on my chest with her tongue and let out a sleepy yawn.

Then, she soon fell into a deep sleep.

Adeline’s regular breathing could already be heard.

I let out a hollow laugh and tried to sit quietly without making any noise until Adeline was deeply asleep, while drawing up the blueprint for the future.

@@

Adeline was furious.

Because Jihyuk had just told her that he wouldn’t give her Sacred Blood anymore.

“Why! Hurry up and give me your chest!”

“What am I, a blood bag? Stop drinking it.”

“No!”

“You should stop being so spoiled.”

This is ridiculous…!

Is it so precious to drink a little Sacred Blood?

The person who called himself her soulmate, who said they would walk together as the same god, can’t even do this much for her?

And what’s with that cold look in his eyes! It’s so disappointing!

“Jihyuk! Come here right now!”

“The more you act like this, the further I’ll go. Honestly, I’m getting tired of it. I think it was good to meet Silvia.”

Tired…?

And what? Meeting Silvia!?

Adeline, shocked to the core, asked with a trembling voice, “What did you just say…?”

“I’m going to roll around with Silvia. Well then…”

“What…? Rolling around with her…! Jihyuk, have you finally gone crazy?”

“Goodbye.”

Jihyuk’s body quickly moved away.

Adeline tried to catch him, even transforming, but the distance between them only grew.

She couldn’t catch him. Jihyuk disappeared. Tears burst forth.

Finally, when Jihyuk disappeared from her sight, Adeline collapsed on the pitch-black ground and began to wail loudly.

“Waaaaah!”

At that moment, her vision darkened once, and then a bright light shone down.

“Huh… Huh…?”

Adeline, who had been sobbing, sat up when she saw the ceiling in front of her.

Looking around, she was in a familiar room.

It was Jihyuk’s bedroom.

Realizing she had been dreaming, Adeline let out a sigh of relief.

What kind of crazy dream was that…? It’s absurd.

Well, there’s no way Jihyuk would suddenly change his attitude.

And there’s no way he would leave her for that vulgar sister.

Adeline wiped her tears and snot on Jihyuk’s blanket and picked up her phone.

[Come to the company when you wake up. Let’s go out to eat. I love you, Adeline.]

Hmm… It’s just a message, but it feels like Jihyuk’s emotions are pouring through.

As expected, Jihyuk only loves her.

Adeline, with swollen eyes, giggled and started to get dressed.

A fresh-looking oversized violet hoodie.

Since she’s feeling a bit down today, she wears a snapback cap to give off a hip-hop vibe for healing.

What should she wear for the bottom?

She could wear shorts that show off her legs, but since it’s cold, she opts for plain jeans.

Satisfied with her outfit after looking in the full-length mirror, Adeline left the house.

The dark sky has a certain charm.

Where should they go for dinner? The unlimited steak place looks good…

Looking forward to a sweet date with Jihyuk, Adeline arrived in Gangnam and entered the grand headquarters of the food franchise.

“Hello, Adeline.”

It’s that short-skirted girl from before, greeting her.

Still short today! She definitely warned Jihyuk about it, but she hasn’t fixed it!

She should demand that the dress code be changed to cover below the knees.

That insignificant girl is definitely a target for compensation! She’ll punish her later when she has time.

Come to think of it, she needs to make the sinners repent…

She’ll do that later.

Hiding her thoughts, Adeline smiled brightly.

“Hello. Is Jihyuk upstairs?”

“No, the president came in this morning but left.”

Huh…? What’s this about?

She came to the company, but he’s not here?

Maybe the employee is mistaken?

“That can’t be. Please call him.”

“Ah, yes. Please wait a moment.”

The employee, holding the receiver, remained quiet for a long time.

It seems there’s no answer from the president’s office.

The employee looked apologetic and said, “He’s not answering.”

“Really? Then guide me. I’ll go up.”

“Yes, this way…”

Following the employee, Adeline frowned when she saw the tight office skirt revealing the employee’s plump buttocks.

How many men has she seduced with that butt…

She’s cunning, dirty, vulgar, and crude…!

She should order Minji to catch her soon.

Guided to the president’s office, Adeline ignored the employee’s polite greeting and opened the door.

Creak.

The faint scent of Jihyuk’s perfume and his unique energy lingered.

It’s so nice. It naturally lifts her mood.

Sitting at Jihyuk’s desk, Adeline sniffed the documents in front of her and then flinched.

The contents of the documents caught her eye.

[Apgujeong Rust Joint Business Proposal]

‘Rust?’

Tilting her head, Adeline searched for it on her phone.

When the search results showed a club, her eyes widened.

What does a club have to do with a food franchise that they want to do a joint business?

Well, she doesn’t know anything about this side of things… She should let Jihyuk handle it.

Thinking that, Adeline called Jihyuk on her phone.

After a long while of ringing, the call went to voicemail.

Clicking her tongue, Adeline tried calling again, but to no avail.

She tried a few more times, but he didn’t answer at all.

“Ugh…! Really!”

Momentarily furious, Adeline almost threw her phone but composed herself.

The employee said Jihyuk came in this morning but left.

Then, it’s highly likely he went to the club mentioned in the documents.

He’s probably having a business meeting there.

She could wait here, but she wants to see Jihyuk quickly, so she should go.

Jihyuk is a president with multiple companies, so as his lover, they should guide her politely.

Leaving a message for Jihyuk that she saw the documents and is heading there, Adeline got up from her seat.

@@

The bustling entrance of the club.

There are too many vulgar women.

And a lot of horny men… It’s absurd to think of doing a joint business with such a filthy place.

With her hat and hood pulled down, Adeline approached the bouncer without waiting in line.

“I’m Song Jihyuk’s wife, so guide me to him.”

The bouncer, checking IDs and faces, waved his hand dismissively.

“There’s no such person. Get in line if you want to enter.”

“What do you mean no? You didn’t even check.”

“Get in line…”

The bouncer, about to get annoyed, looked at Adeline’s face.

Then, he quickly scanned her entire body and changed his attitude, stepping aside.

“Please come in.”

So, he recognized her as Song Jihyuk’s wife.

Hmph, what a rude guy.

Adeline, thoroughly misunderstanding, glared at the bouncer once.

Then, she confidently tried to enter but stopped.

She felt a very warm and familiar sensation.

This is definitely Jihyuk’s.

His unconscious energy, connected to her soul, was guiding her.

‘As expected…!’

Giggling, Adeline looked around.

The energy wasn’t coming from inside the club but from the building next to it.

The club is noisy, so they must be having a meeting there!

As expected, her reasoning is good.

Praising herself, Adeline turned her body sharply and moved away from the club.

The bouncer, who had been watching her act strangely, muttered under his breath, “Is she on something…? Or is she just crazy…?”

Not hearing the bouncer’s words, Adeline entered the building.

But she was stopped by a security guard.

“You’re in the wrong place. Please leave.”

“Huh? My husband is here. He’s probably having a meeting upstairs. His name is Song Jihyuk…”

“There’s no such person. Leave before I report you for trespassing.”

This is annoying.

Why do they keep saying he’s not here without even checking…?

And they’re lying! The energy is definitely leading to this building!

This is unpleasant. They’re too rude.

She feels sorry for her past self, who cherished commoners like her own life.

Getting increasingly angry, Adeline said, “Check first. My husband’s name is Song Jihyuk. He’s the president of the largest food franchise in Gangnam…”

“I said he’s not here.”

What…? Did she just get annoyed with me?

She even cut me off?

Gritting her teeth, Adeline was about to argue when…

Whoosh…! Gooo…

Jihyuk’s energy surged.

Startled, Adeline looked up.

The energy, which had been calm until now, was now surging like a fierce wave.

Did something happen to Jihyuk? Did the joint business talk not go well?

The bouncer was like that, and now this security guard… The employees here have no manners.

If the conversation didn’t go well, there’s a high chance they resorted to force.

There’s no time to waste. She should transform in the alley, smash the window, and go in!

Thinking that, Adeline rushed out of the building.
