Finally, they started speaking. Junhyuk took the leader out to the living room.
âNow, I will ask you some questions. Nothing good will happen if you lie,â he said.
The leader agreed to talk because he couldnât let Junhyuk cut the hands or feet of his subordinates, so he nodded.
âWhy are you chasing after this guy named Junhyuk Lee?â
The man looked at him blankly.
âYou are not Junhyuk Lee?â
âNo, Iâm not.â
Junhyuk answered curtly, but the man was still suspicious. Junhyuk waited for him to talk more.
âSomeone wants to meet him.â
âWho?â
âI can say it only if Junhyuk agrees to meet that person. We are sworn to protect the identity of our client. You canât get it from us by torture.â
Junhyuk thought for a moment. These guys were professionals. They wouldnât talk so easily.
âThe identity of the client is a secretâ¦â Junhyuk wanted to know who the client was, so he said, âI have no choice. Without you, your subordinates will begin losing hands.â
Junhyuk went into his bedroom and tied every wrist with a wire. Their hands quickly turned blue.
âThe clientâs identity is a secret, so I will cut off your hands,â he said.
After he was done, he sat on a chair in front of the leader.
âYouâll be safe. Even though your subordinates will lose their hands, youâll be safe. Relax.â
As Junhyuk spoke, the manâs eyebrows twitched.
âAh! First, what is your name?â
âThompson.â
âThatâs a common name.â
Junhyuk folded his arms and sat there without speaking. He needed to know who the client was even if that meant he had to cut everyoneâs hands off. He wouldnât budge.
They didnât know that was really Junhyuk, and as the time passed, Thompson got more nervous. If there was no blood flow, it wouldnât take long for necrosis to set in.
Thompson slowly lifted his head.
âUntie them.â
âAre you going to talk now?â
Thompson nodded, and Junhyuk walked over and untied their wrists. He closed the door behind him and sat on the chair, and Thompson started speaking.
âEven if you find out who the client is, there is nothing you can do.â
âI just want to know who wants Junhyuk Lee.â
Thompson sighed and answered.
âHe is from the Rockefeller family. Charles Rockefeller, the current patriarch.â
âRockefeller?â
He couldnât have guessed it if he wanted to, so he crossed his arms.
âWhy does he want to meet him?â He asked.
Thompson told him everything he knew.
âHe knows Junhyuk Lee has the ability to teleport.â
âJunhyuk can teleport?â
âThat is right.â Thompson answered.
âOK. That might be the case, but how did he find out?â
âSome people who were watching him with an infrared heat detector got it on video.â
Junhyuk understood everything.
âYou are the arsonists.â
Thompson just stared at him.
âThen, are you Junhyuk Lee?â
âNo, Iâm not.â
Junhyuk decided to deny that until the end.
âOK. He might be able to teleport, but what does that have to do with the patriarch of Rockefeller family?â
Thompson told him the truth.
âDo you know about the Dimensional Battlefield?â
âDimensional Battlefield?â
JUnhyuk realized the leader knew a lot more than he had originally guessed, but didnât let his surprise show.
âWhat about it?â
âSo, you do know.â
âYes, I do.â
Thompson continued calmly.
âI only know that the Rockefellers have a big interest in the Dimensional Battlefield.â
âWhat does he want from Junhyuk Lee?â
âHe might have gotten his teleportation skill from the Dimensional Battlefield.â
Junhyuk smiled bitterly. He was in the big leagues now and he couldnât just go to America to take care of someone!
He wanted to teleport between continents, but his teleportation skill only covered forty-two feet. The distance had increased by five feet.
âOK. Before I let you go, I will give you some advice.â
Junhyuk grabbed Thompson by the shoulder.
âIâll let you go this time because you talked, but remember one thing. Next time, I wonât be so lenient,â he said and applied pressure to Thompsonâs shoulders. âNext time, you will all be dead.â
His voice had a chilling effect after he had killed so many minions, and his aura was larger than anyone Thompson had encountered before.
Thompson realized he was serious and scary. He breathed shallow breaths, and Junhyuk continued:
âNow, go to sleep.â
Junhyuk knocked him out and went into the bedroom and knocked all of them out, one by one. He untied them and gathered the film from the CCTV camera and headed toward the police station.
He reported a home invasion, and went back to his house with the police. They arrested all of the men. He didnât want the police involved, but he had no other choice.
The men had entered by breaking down the lock, and the evidence supported it. Junhyuk insisted he didnât know who had restrained them.
At the police station, they also insisted they didnât know anything. They just asked for a phone call, got it, and called someone. After that, they were released in twenty minutes.
Junhyuk watched an American diplomat whisking them away. Thompson left with them, and as he passed Junhyuk, he gave a slight bow.
Junhyuk ignored him.
When he heard the Rockefeller name, he had guessed its power was beyond imagination. If the Rockefellers could use their power in Korea, they would be untouchable in America.
Junhyuk watched the car leave and murmured:
âI know who they are. What should I do now?â
He felt like taking a vacation to America and meeting the patriarch in person. He had enough power to kill a person. Instead, he looked up at the sky. He had lived all of his life in a country ruled by the law, so he had reservations about killing a man.
âI will let this one go, this time.â
He had communicated his will. They had to answer him now. He might not like the answer, but there was nothing he could do. He didnât want to cross a line, and they had to be careful.
â
After returning home, he turned on the TV. The special broadcast was on. At first, it had been a simple special broadcast, but then it turned into a worldwide special simultaneous broadcast. It was on the air with big advertisements.
Junhyuk watched it and checked the Internet. There was a lot of buzz.
The search rankings were all about the broadcast, and he saw his name on the list and scratched his head.
âThis could be a problem.â
His name was now famous, and Junhyuk shook his head.
âNo. This might actually be a good thing.â
The Rockefellers were after him. Modern society was ruled by money, and Rockefeller was the most powerful name in the world.
He needed his own famous name so that the Rockefellers wouldnât be able to touch him. He could use his fame.
Even if the Rockefellers could erase his name from the Internet searches, he had become famous before they were able to do that.
âThe interviews are on Mondayâ¦â
That was a good opportunity. People had invaded his house, so the news would cover someone going after him.
Junhyuk spent the weekend watching TV and training. His powers were his personal strength. He had to rely on his powers to protect himself.
â
On Monday, he was at work waiting to be interviewed when Eunseo called for him. He went to her office, and Eunseo spoke somberly:
âYouâve had home invaders.â
âHow did you know?â
âThe police called me.â
âThey were there when I wasnât at home. The police arrested them in my room,â he said calmly.
âThe intruders slept in your room?â
âI know. I checked the CCTV for intruders, and the police went in and arrested them.â
Eunseo stared at him.
âWhy did an American diplomat come to get them out?â
âIâm not sure about it myself.â
Eunseo thought for a moment and said:
âThey might ask you about this on todayâs interviews, but I donât want you to discuss it until the investigation is over.â
Junhyuk wanted to blow it all up during the interview, so he hesitated.
âWhy arenât you answering me?â Eunseo asked.
âAn American diplomat is involved. We should make an issue out of this to find out who they are.â
Eunseoâs gaze sharpened.
âYou mean you donât trust us?â
Junhyuk relented when she said that.
âFine. I wonât mention it during the interviews. When you find out who they are, you should tell me.â
âI promise.â
Junhyuk decided to give in and take a step back.
âI will do the interviews with you, so donât worry,â she continued.
Junhyuk knew she would be there to keep him on a leash.
âI understand.â
âItâs already time for the interviews. Letâs go,â she said after checking the time.
âOK.â
Junhyuk, accompanied by Eunseo, headed to the interview room. People were already there, and they were told Eunseo would do the interviews with Junhyuk.
However, their first question was about the home invasion.
âThe first question is about the home invasion that happened this weekend. Please, tell us about it.â
Junhyuk answered calmly:
âThe police has all the information. I really donât know anything else.â
âItâs out of the ordinary. Tell us something.â
âI have no further comments on that topic.â
Junhyuk was decisive in his answers, and the reporter who was doing the interview realized there was no point in asking him further about it, so he changed the line of questions.
After that, the interview went smoothly.
âDid I make any mistakes?â Junhyuk asked Eunseo.
âYou did not.â
Eunseo had wanted to fix things if anything went wrong with the interviews, but that interview went fine.
âIf they ask you about the home invasion again, please answer them in the same way.â
âI will.â
Eunseo looked at the earring he was wearing and smiled slightly. The smile disappeared quicker than it had appeared.
âPlease do your best during the rest of the interviews.â
âI will.â
She fixed her glasses and said:
âPlease, bring in the next reporters.â
Soon, there were other reporters. That day, they would do a total of five interviews. There were four remaining.
