Click!
The door swung open with a sharp click.
"Eek?!"
"This is..."
"Insane!!"
The moment the door opened, the IMPU Enforcers standing at the front, along with diplomatic representatives from other nations, all grimaced.
Even the President of Baekun Nation.
How potent was this male pheromone scent?
Male pheromones didn't just waft out like this.
It was the intense aroma emanating solely from the Cowper's fluid and semen leaking from his cock.
And for it to be this thick...
It was impossible to fathom just what horrific acts Park Hana had committed.
To exploit a Male Lord to the point where pheromones this dense poured out—!!
There might even be a cold corpse of the Male Lord inside.
And so it was.
The moment the door opened, the foreign diplomats unleashed their strongest strikes in their own unique ways.
The house was plastered with every defensive spell and ritual Park Hana boasted about.
But when ten Transcendents unleashed their full power in earnest...
All the defenses tore away like paper, effortlessly.
Park Hana was sent flying by the attack before she could even mount a defense.
"You barbaric bitches...!!"
The IMPU Enforcers gasped in shock at the sight.
But what was done was done.
"Split Second."
If it had already happened, their goal as IMPU Enforcers was to minimize the damage.
Immediately, the consciousness of one Enforcer accelerated rapidly.
A literal split second.
In that fleeting time, the Enforcers began to move, positioning themselves behind the Male Lord inside the house.
They appeared carefully so as not to startle him by suddenly popping up in front.
'Did he just see us...?'
For a moment, they felt his eyes meet theirs, but the Enforcers dismissed it as an illusion.
A Male Lord who needed protection couldn't possibly perceive them.
If he had, it would mean they were unqualified as IMPU Enforcers.
Because it would expose the fact that they'd entered within 1 meter of him without permission.
Even if it was an unavoidable situation, it was still a grave error.
IMPU Enforcers had to protect Male Lords from a distance that never caused discomfort, always.
Even in unavoidable situations.
They had to shield them without being noticed.
Male Lords who would wail at the mere touch of skin losing their purity.
Being this close was bound to displease them.
'It's fine. The Split Second hasn't ended yet.'
In their accelerated thoughts, the IMPU Enforcers trusted their abilities.
They had reached realms far beyond 8th Circle mages, Incarnations, or Sword Masters—!!
It had to be mere coincidence.
"Time moves again."
With that conviction, the IMPU Enforcers released the acceleration.
Bang—!!!
At the same instant, Park Hana crashed into the wall, kicking up dust.
Thanks to the IMPU Enforcers, not a speck of dust touched Geum Taeyang's body.
"Cough..."
"Sis! What happened!!"
Then.
Something incomprehensible occurred.
Geum Taeyang, their top protection priority, rushed toward the flying Park Hana.
Because of that, the diplomats outside, preparing their second strikes, had to hastily halt their gathered power.
"Who the hell are you people, barging into the house and committing this atrocity!!"
Thump thump... Thump—!
At Geum Taeyang's fury-filled shout, the IMPU Enforcers' hearts stopped for a moment.
They collapsed to the floor like puppets with cut strings, gasping roughly.
"Huff... Huff—!!"
The Enforcers, whose hearts had briefly stopped at the realization they'd inconvenienced a Male Lord, bowed their heads and approached him.
"W-We apologize for startling you so suddenly, Male Lord. We are the Enforcers of the International Men's Protection Union—IMPU for short."
"We're truly sorry. We never imagined we'd have to attack a house containing a Male Lord."
"Hey! What are you all doing? Get in here and apologize properly!!"
Even as the women approached him with utmost deference, like greeting an emperor, Geum Taeyang didn't hide his anger.
"Huff...!!"
"We're sorry!!"
At that sight, the diplomats had to bow their previously stiff necks before Baekun Nation's President Rina.
No, bowing wasn't enough—they crawled on the floor like worms.
Attacking a house with a Male Lord inside was a crime deserving death.
They begged for forgiveness with all their might, over and over.
"Urgh... Taeyang. It's dangerous."
Then, Park Hana crawled out from the wall, blood trickling from her head as she staggered forward.
If not for Geum Taeyang, she might have died without reaching True Immortal Realm.
"I... I was wrong... Sorry, Taeyang."
But surviving now didn't guarantee the future.
Park Hana had been careless.
IMPU Enforcers were at minimum True Immortals, 11th Circle mages, or Grand Masters.
It wouldn't be hard for them to figure out she'd raped Geum Taeyang.
And as fresh air entered, the thick scent of his pheromones became undeniable.
There was no hiding it.
Park Hana was ready to accept her punishment, but Geum Taeyang stepped in front of her.
"What did Sis do wrong?"
"Huh? W-Well..."
"Tell me. What wrong did Sis commit for you to attack out of nowhere?"
After signaling Park Hana with his eyes, Geum Taeyang pressed the Enforcers.
He knew what kind of world this was, so he acted boldly.
A world where males were precious.
They wouldn't treat him carelessly.
"W-Well, something terrible was done to the Male Lord."
"What terrible thing? Be precise."
"F-Forcefully... sexual relations, ahem...! We're sorry!! To sexually harass a Male Lord like this...!! We'll cut off our hands in apology."
"Stop!! Why cut off your hands out of nowhere? Are you forcing forgiveness on me?"
"N-No!! We're sorry! We're so sorry!!!"
One IMPU Enforcer was about to sever her own hand but stopped at Geum Taeyang's command and bowed her head.
"Sigh... You don't have to apologize that much. Lift your heads."
Swish...
"The Male Lord personally took our hand and helped us up...?"
"Ah... Ah...!! Thank you!"
He looked so noble and divine, as if a halo glowed behind him.
Forgiving their wrongs without self-harm and even lifting them by hand...!!
Moved beyond words, the IMPU Enforcer shed tears.
'This is overwhelming...'
Geum Taeyang cleared his throat awkwardly under their burdensome gazes and decided to send them away.
"Anyway!! Sis did nothing wrong, so can you all leave now?"
But the Enforcer he'd just helped up knelt again and spoke.
"We're sorry, but Park Hana may have brainwashed Geum Taeyang. We must investigate to confirm no such atrocity occurred..."
"Indeed. Calling her 'Sis' constantly is already suspicious."
Grip...
The IMPU Enforcer felt stabbing pain in her heart but had to say what needed saying.
The suspicions about Park Hana remained unresolved.
No matter what the Male Lord said, this had to be cleared definitively.
"...How will you investigate?"
"Conveniently, you need a health checkup anyway... If you undergo it, we'll know if Park Hana committed such horrors."
"..."
'This is bad.'
How the hell would a health checkup reveal if they'd had sex?
But with no better option coming to mind, Geum Taeyang nodded.
"Thank you for cooperating. It won't take long."
"But are all these people coming along?"
"No. Foreign diplomats, all return. You wouldn't want to inconvenience the Male Lord!!"
"Ah, understood."
The diplomats, guilty of their own actions, had to obey the Enforcers and leave.
"Wait. President, you'll come with us."
"Depending on the health check results... entrusting a Male Lord to Park Hana is no small sin."
With words bordering on threat, Baekun Nation's President Rina headed to the male-only hospital alongside Park Hana.
Upon arriving at the hospital, not a single doctor or nurse was in sight.
Park Hana transmitted to the Enforcers via telepathy, out of Geum Taeyang's earshot.
"Who will conduct the health checkup?"
"We will."
At their response, Park Hana immediately retorted.
"If anything happens to my Taeyang, I'll kill you all."
"'My Taeyang'? You trash bitch. After raping him, you say that?"
"I'll make sure you don't die easy."
"Kill me if you want. But handle Taeyang's checkup carefully and thoroughly. Warm the cold stethoscope so it doesn't startle him. Give him water every hour so he doesn't get exhausted."
"Enough! We're professionals. More than you."
The Enforcers shut her up, annoyed that she was stating the obvious they already knew.
"Then, Taeyang Lord. We'll guide you this way."
After the Enforcers led Geum Taeyang to the examination room...
Only Park Hana and the President remained in the waiting room.
"Station Chief Park Hana... How could you do such a thing...!!"
"I was too horny."
"What?"
"I was so horny I couldn't help it!! You have no idea how much Taeyang tempts me...!!"
"Fuck...!! I misjudged you!! To do something so horrific to a Male Lord!!"
The President was dumbfounded by Park Hana's words.
"Ha... It was a crime I committed prepared to die anyway. Don't worry about it."
"Ha... There goes my re-election."
"President... Take the treatment costs from my assets as needed."
After their long quarrel, both resigned themselves and sat endlessly waiting on the chairs.
Once the health checkup ended, it would confirm Park Hana had raped Geum Taeyang.
"Station Chief Park Hana... Checkup result: Not guilty."
But the result that came after some time was the complete opposite.
"Huh?"
"...Station Chief Park Hana. Did I ever wrong you? Making me worry like this...!!"
Park Hana was baffled by her innocence, while the President began reflecting if she'd gravely wronged Park Hana somehow.
