Chapter Summary
Unlike what people usually pictured about Southeast Asia, Singapore was full of highrise buildings, making it look like a concrete forest. "She knew Kang-Woo had more than enough money to spend but was not used to this level of luxury since she had lived most of her life in poverty. It sure is lively with Yeon-Joo with us," mentioned Lilith as she smiled and walked toward Kang-Woo.
Whoosh—!!
A black dragon flew across a clear blue sky.
Every time the dragon flapped her wings covered in glossy black scales, a massive gust formed.
[Hm!
Hm!
A trip with Kang-Woo!
A family trip with everyone!
]Echidna, who returned to her dragon form after a long time, flapped her wings as she repeatedly snorted in excitement.
"Are you that excited?
"[Hm!
Of course, I am!
]Kang-Woo stroked Echidna’s scales as he sat on Echidna.
"But if you’re so excited, we could’ve arrived faster if we used one of the Gates leading to Singapore in the Hall of Protection.
"[That defeats the purpose of a trip!
]"Well, I guess that’s true.
"Just like riding an airplane, riding Echidna felt more like they were going on a trip.
"Urpp… P-Please slow down…" Cha Yeon-Joo gripped Echidna’s scales, covering her mouth with her hand to stop herself from vomiting.
Kang-Woo softly pounded her back and said, "We’re almost there, so hold it for a little longer.
"They began to see land after a few minutes.
"Authority of Stealth.
"Kang-Woo used an Authority to make him and the others invisible.
Echidna landed on a random building and slowly climbed down.
"As I thought, it’s hotter than Korea," said Kang-Woo, looking up at the beaming sun with a frown.
"But the buildings are beautiful," replied Seol-Ah as she looked around excitedly.
Unlike what people usually pictured about Southeast Asia, Singapore was full of highrise buildings, making it look like a concrete forest.
"Apparently, only this area is highly developed," Kang-Woo remarked.
"Urgh… I’m dying… my organs feel like they’re inside out," Yeon-Joo grumbled.
"You okay?
""No, I feel like I’m dying.
Haaa.
In any case, it’s been a while since I’ve been to Singapore.
""Eh?
You’ve been here before?
""Yeah, for guild matters.
""Oh, then I guess you can act as our guide.
"Yeon-Joo clicked her tongue and looked away.
"It was only to attend a meeting, so I don’t know much about the place either.
""There’s our hotel.
""Dayum, it looks awesome even in the morning.
"Yeon-Joo and Kang-Woo expressed their amazement as they stared at the Marina Bay Sands hotel.
"Hmm.
I still don’t quite get it," Lilith said.
She was not yet fully accustomed to Human culture, so it only looked like a peculiar building in her eyes; it did not look particularly amazing enough to be amazed.
"Let’s head inside, Kang-Woo!
" Han Seol-Ah shouted.
"Hoho.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen our little Seol-Ah so excited.
Do you want to show the king the swimsuit you bought yesterday that badly?
""Ah!
U-Unnie!
You said you’d keep that a secret from Kang-Woo!
""My, did I?
"Seol-Ah quickly covered Lilith’s mouth but it had already come out.
The corners of Kang-Woo’s mouth were slowly rising.
"Sheesh, you sure are loving this.
Do you love swimsuits that much?
" Yeon-Joo asked.
"Hehe.
Obviously.
"No man wouldn’t, especially if it was worn by a knockout beauty like Seol-Ah.
"Fucking pervert.
""I’m looking forward to your swimsuit too.
""F-Fuck off!
I didn’t bring one!
""Wh-What?!
" Kang-Woo pulled on his hair in despair as if he were the last human on Earth.
"Hurgh!
There’s no reason to live anymore…!
""S-Stop fucking overreacting!!
" Yeon-Joo kicked Kang-Woo’s thigh and her face reddened.
She averted her gaze from him and softly muttered, "I… I brought one, so stop with that.
Why wouldn’t I bring one when we decided to play in the pool?
""I trusted you," said Kang-Woo with a smile, lightly embracing Yeon-Joo by her waist.
Yeon-Joo shouted at him not to touch her as she pushed him away.
"Wow," Kang-Woo expressed as he looked up.
There wasn’t a single cloud in the blue sky.
The sun beamed down on them as if blessing their trip, and the scenery reminded him how much money he poured into this trip.
Not just that, he was surrounded by three beautiful women, each with their own charms, and a cute little girl who radiated happiness.
"This is the life.
"’I’m so glad I’m alive.
’***"We have a bit of time until we can check in, so why don’t we grab something to eat first?
" asked Kang-Woo after entrusting their luggage to the hotel lobby employees.
"Yes, let’s do that.
""Hm!
I’m hungry after flying all the way here!
" Echidna’s eyes sparkled as she clenched her fists.
Lilith examined a palm-sized crystal orb and pointed at a circular building in front of the hotel.
"There seems to be something called a food court under that building.
"Kang-Woo stared at the crystal orb and asked, "What’s that?
""Fufu.
I had my informants investigate all the tourist attractions and the best restaurants.
""I thought you were short on hands… we could’ve just searched the web with our smartphones.
""I still have trouble handling machines made by humans.
" Lilith smiled as she swept her hair behind her ear.
"Well, let’s go, then.
I’m sure information gathered by the greatest intelligence organization in the world is more reliable than some random blog.
"Kang-Woo and the women entered a building shaped like a domed baseball stadium.
Inside were various brand-name stores that everyone had likely seen at least once.
Kang-Woo took his credit card from his wallet and asked, "Is there anything you guys want?
Let me know and I’ll buy it for you.
"Every item was so expensive that one would think they had put too many zeros on the price tag, but such things did not matter to Kang-Woo.
"Damn, man.
That was a little cool," Yeon-Joo remarked.
"Kang-Woo is always cool," Seol-Ah noted.
"Alright, alright~ good for you.
" Yeon-Joo shook her head as if she were sick of it.
"So, anything you want?
" Kang-Woo asked.
"Forget it.
Do you think I’m poor?
I’m probably richer than you," Yeon-Joo answered as she shrugged proudly.
Kang-Woo had many personal assets but he couldn’t compare to the master of one of the largest guilds in the world.
Yeon-Joo smiled and placed her arm on Kang-Woo’s shoulder.
"Do you want anything, brat?
This noona here will buy you something!
""Please buy me that watch, noona.
""Holy shit, it’s as expensive as a car.
Are you sure you want this?
""No, not really.
""Then why did you ask me to buy it?
""Because the way you were showing off pissed me off a bit.
""Fuck you.
"Everyone walked around the building as they chatted.
Just then, Echidna pulled on Kang-Woo’s clothes.
"Kang-Woo, Kang-Woo.
""Hm?
""Doesn’t that person over there look a little sick?
"She pointed at a person staggering as if they were about to fall at any second, swaying as much as an inflatable tube man in front of stores celebrating their grand opening.
"A day drinker, perhaps?
" Kang-Woo wondered.
"D-Don’t talk about alcohol!!
" shouted Yeon-Joo, flinching like a madman.
Kang-Woo snickered.
"Anyway, just leave them.
I’m sure one of the employees will help them.
""But still, I’ll let someone know.
"Echidna trotted toward a nearby employee and pointed out the swaying person.
The employee nodded and approached the swaying person.
"Wow, our little Echidna is an angel.
""Hehehe.
"Kang-Woo could never understand why anyone would go out of their way to help a stranger.
"Hm!
Let’s stop looking around and go get some food!
""Okay, okay.
"Echidna grabbed Kang-Woo’s hand and went down to the underground food court.
After their meal, they returned to the hotel room and checked into their room, which was naturally the most expensive suite.
Click.
"Wow!
K-Kang-Woo!
The room is so big!
""I would expect nothing less from a room that costs 10 million won a night.
""T-Ten million?!
" Seol-Ah asked in shock.
She grabbed Kang-Woo’s hand worryingly and continued, "K-Kang-Woo… aren’t you using a bit too much money?
"She knew Kang-Woo had more than enough money to spend but was not used to this level of luxury since she had lived most of her life in poverty.
"I could spend everything I have if it’s for you, Darling.
""K-Kang-Woo…"Seol-Ah embraced Kang-Woo teary-eyed.
They kissed as Seol-Ah slowly stuck her hands into Kang-Woo’s clothes.
"What the hell are you guys doing in broad daylight?
""Kyah!
"Yeon-Joo sighed and lightly smacked Seol-Ah’s head.
"Urgh… I-It was just getting good…""Good, my ass.
Get it together and unpack your things.
"Yeon-Joo dragged Seol-Ah by her clothes into their room.
"Hoho.
It sure is lively with Yeon-Joo with us," mentioned Lilith as she smiled and walked toward Kang-Woo.
Echidna ran past her and yelled, "Hm!
Kang-Woo!
Let’s share a room!
""My, what are you saying?
" Lilith’s hair extended and wrapped around Echidna.
"It’s truly a shame, but you should use a different room.
""Urgh, why~?!
I wanna share a room with Kang-Woo too!
""Hmm.
Because…" Lilith licked her lips.
"I have something to do with the king at night ♥""Urgh…""Enough of that and share a room with Echidna.
I’ll be using a room by myself.
""Ah!
M-My king!
"Kang-Woo went to his room with his things.
They would be in Singapore for four days and three nights so they packed light.
Kang-Woo quickly went to the living room after unpacking.
"Has everyone changed?
"The main attraction in the Marina Bay Sands was, of course, the swimming pool.
They needed to go there first and foremost.
"Fucking pervert.
Do you wanna see us in our swimsuits that badly?
" asked Yeon-Joo, her face reddened as she walked out in a white gown.
She had changed into her swimsuit but she was too embarrassed to show him in the hotel room.
The room shook from how furiously Kang-Woo was nodding.
"Of course I do!
Why do you think I’m even here?!
""F-Fuck you!
" Yeon-Joo cursed as she tightened her gown even more to hide her swimsuit.
"Ah~ I wonder what Darling’s new swimsuit looks like~?
"Kang-Woo jumped around with a smile.
He had seen Seol-Ah in a swimsuit during their picnic but he was brimming with excitement since she had bought a new one.
Click.
The door opened and exited Seol-Ah, covered up with a white gown like Yeon-Joo.
"Darliiiiiiiiiiiing!!
"Kang-Woo ran toward her like a starved beast.
"Fufu.
Did you wait long, Kang-Woo?
""Yup!
""How cute.
" Seol-Ah smiled brightly as she hugged Kang-Woo and patted his head.
"Would you like to see my new swimsuit?
""Mm… no!
I’ll take a good look when we’re at the pool.
"Kang-Woo wanted to see Seol-Ah’s new swimsuit this instant but controlled himself using his superhuman patience.
A swimsuit should be seen at a pool.
"My, you’re all so quick.
""Hm!
Kang-Woo!
What do you think of this swimsuit?!
"Lilith and Echidna also exited their rooms after changing into their swimsuits.
Lilith was covering herself with a white gown like the other women but Echidna was just in her swimsuit.
Kang-Woo stared at Echidna in her swimsuit with pink frills and said calmly, "It’s cute.
""Ngh.
Your reaction is so weak…""It’d be bad if I overreacted.
"’From a censorship standpoint.
’"Right then, up to the pool, we go!
"Kang-Woo swung open the door, full of anticipation.
His head was already getting hot from the thought of savoring the women in their swimsuits.
’Fuck yeah!!
This is life!!!
I’m so fucking happy!!!
’Kang-Woo, so happy that he was about to cry, entered the elevator with the others.
Ring.
The elevator door opened after reaching the top floor.
"Wow…" everyone expressed.
Once they entered the pool above the roof connecting the three hotel buildings, they were met with a clear blue sky and a forest of buildings around the hotel.
"Ah… this is wonderful, even by my standards.
" "Whew, I didn’t get a chance to come here when I had my meeting here, but this is fucking nice.
""K-Kang-Woo!
Th-This is amazing!
""Hm!
What do you think?!
You guys are glad you listened to me, right?
"The four women walked toward the pool as they each gave their impressions.
Kang-Woo smiled as he followed behind them.
"Hm?
Kang-Woo, there’s another drunk person over there.
"Echidna tilted her head in wonder as she pointed at someone.
Just like the person they saw in the department store earlier, a blonde woman who seemed to be in her early twenties was swaying as if she would fall at any second.
"You’re right.
Why do they love alcohol so much?
Could that be Cha Yeon-Joo?
""Shut up!!
"Yeon-Joo kicked Kang-Woo’s thigh.
Kang-Woo snickered as he continued to walk toward the pool.
"Now then, ladies.
Take off your gowns and reveal your swimsu—""KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!
"Just then, a scream filled the entire swimming pool.
"Eh?
" Kang-Woo turned to the source of the sound.
It was the swaying blonde woman; she was convulsing as if she were having a seizure and clenching her neck.
"BLEEEEEEEEEGHHH!!
"She bent down and vomited so much blood that one would think her insides were ground with a mixer and were pouring out from her mouth.
"Kyaaaaaaaaahhh!
B-Blood!
Blooooood!!
" a middle-aged woman screamed at the sight.
"Kurgh!
Guh!
"The eyes of the blonde woman vomiting blood turned white and she collapsed.
Splash!
She fell into the pool, which instantly dyed red from the blood.
"What the fuck?
"
