Betrayal (1)
“So drag her straight to bed and fuck Chen Mei senseless!” Shin Jiyeon declared, eyes sparkling. “Make her submit completely to you, Sunbae. Until she becomes your human familiar, just like me!”
“Wait, what the hell…”
This was pure nonsense. Is this really something my girlfriend should be saying? No matter how special their relationship was, Shin Jiyeon and Park Jihun were lovers. Yet here she was, telling her boyfriend to fuck another woman into submission.
…Ah, but that’s basically how it’s always been.
The only difference was that the target had shifted from female-type monsters to a human.
“No, even so, that’s a bit much.”
When Park Jihun shook his head, Shin Jiyeon simply shrugged as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
“Come on, it’s not like you’re going to catch feelings for her. Turn her into a familiar first, use her properly, then toss her aside when you’re done.”
Chen Mei—the trusted personal secretary of Heixiaohui guildmaster Lung Xiao. To buy time for Park Jihun to grow properly and to check the Black Society, there was no better piece on the board. After listening to her explanation, he nodded. There were parts he still found questionable, but overall her plan made sense.
“…Hmm.”
Well, there was no downside for him. If it failed, the Heixiaohui would hunt him to the ends of the earth, but they were already targeting him anyway. From what he’d heard, they were definitely a bunch of vicious bastards. In the end it would come down to either killing them or kidnapping them. Even if the reverse honey-trap operation on Chen Mei failed, nothing much would change. At worst he might get attacked and killed on the spot?
If it comes to that, I do have an escape route.
While Alpha Male kept her stiffened, he could flee into the familiar subspace. He had already confirmed yesterday that he could enter it himself.
He had expected the inside to feel like a pitch-black tear in space, but it turned out to be surprisingly welcoming to familiars. When one entered, the environment partially changed to suit them, as if declaring the place their new nest.
For example, when Sira went in, a wetland area identical to her original gate appeared. When Briana and Kar entered, a lush forest space formed like a separate room. And when Park Jihun and Shin Jiyeon stepped inside, a new room identical to the house they lived in—Shin Jiyeon’s house—materialized.
In any case, this subspace with its incredible ability let Park Jihun create an entrance and come and go whenever he wanted. Since only he or his familiars could enter, it was the perfect emergency escape route.
Even if Chen Mei attacks me, I have a way out.
Of course there were limits. When you left the subspace you reappeared exactly where you had entered. If the enemy camped the spot, you’d eventually be caught. Using it inside a gate still left you inside the gate, so it couldn’t be used to avoid gate closure or to flee an unbeatable dungeon.
Still, the fact that I can make an emergency escape in that moment is an amazing ability in itself.
And from Chen Mei’s perspective, seeing the subspace escape for the first time, she wouldn’t know she had to keep waiting in that exact spot until he came back out.
Conclusion: the penalty wasn’t severe, so it was worth attempting. Honestly it wasn’t really his taste, but he wasn’t picky about women. If it succeeded, it was a massive win for him. Even if he failed and got attacked, he had an escape method.
“Think it’s doable?”
“Right?”
But one problem remained.
“…But can you actually abandon a familiar?”
“Um… I’m not sure…?”
While Park Jihun, having decided on the reverse honey-trap, stepped outside the building again to lure Chen Mei back in—
Damn… Did I act too hastily?
Chen Mei had completely regained her composure and was now painfully aware of how stupid her actions had been.
A honey trap? I actually tried something that idiotic…
But at this point, the only remaining option was to kill Park Jihun outright.
An F-rank hunter? I could crush him with one hand.
Killing him would be easy. The problem was Lee Jeonghyeon’s watchful eyes. If she killed Park Jihun carelessly and got caught, she would be captured before she could even return to China.
Fine. Since I’ve already started, I’ll do it properly. I’ll seduce the bastard properly and drag him back to China.
She didn’t even consider the possibility that Park Jihun might get too excited and assault her. He was only F-rank. She was A-rank. The difference was like heaven and earth.
Rather, I should lead him right to the edge, make him desperate, then tease him by saying I’ll finish it once we’re back in China. That might work even better.
She was already thinking of fully exploiting the sexual angle.
Yes. Men—especially males of inferior races—are beasts with their brains between their legs. He’ll follow with his eyes rolled back.
Of course, the fact that Park Jihun already had an enormous number of outlets for his sexual frustration was completely absent from her calculations.
“Oh.”
At that moment she spotted Park Jihun coming out of the building again. This time he looked like he was searching for someone. Chen Mei was certain that someone was her.
As expected. After going inside and thinking it over, he realized how beautiful I am?
With a face full of arrogance, Chen Mei stepped out of the waiting car and walked toward him.
“Oh, we meet again.”
She kept the “we just happened to run into each other on the street” concept intact. It would be easier to make excuses to Lee Jeonghyeon or the international media that way.
“Ah, hello. After thinking about it, I realized I was too rude earlier.”
The Park Jihun she met again had become extremely friendly, exactly as Chen Mei had predicted.
Can’t control himself around a pretty woman. Typical inferior-race male.
She mocked him inwardly while offering a gentle, understanding smile on the surface. It was a beautiful smile that could make anyone fall for her, but Park Jihun felt nothing in particular while looking at it.
Okay, how do I steer this all the way to that point? What should I do?
Inside, he was only thinking about how to fuck Chen Mei. It was exactly the “beast with its brain in its lower body” thinking she had described, but for him it was a practical solution to the future Heixiaohui problem—and a way to fuck over the people who had dared to target him first.
So it wasn’t simply beast-like thinking. Rather…
Ah, if only she had horns, or dark brown skin and pointed ears—she’d be exactly my type.
In terms of sexual appeal, she wasn’t a total failure, but she also didn’t quite pass.
“Ah, so you’re Chinese. Your Korean is so good I didn’t even notice.”
“Hehe, I get that a lot.”
The two of them moved to a café for drinks. They sat across from each other, sipping coffee and chatting. The conversation was completely ordinary. Both of them hid their true intentions, exchanging only meaningless pleasantries.
“Whew, Korea’s spring is hotter than I expected. The region I live in is still cold this time of year.”
Then Chen Mei casually slipped off the jacket she had been wearing, once again deploying her sex appeal. The voluminous breasts revealed as the jacket came off, the pure-white skin visible through the slightly open shirt, and the subtly provocative look in her eyes—it was enough to make any man hard.
In fact, several men around them stared, only to get slapped by their girlfriends or drop their drinks.
Oho, so that’s how you’re playing it? Fine by me.
Park Jihun met her textbook sexual provocation head-on. If things kept going like this, they might reach the bedroom—or at least some private time—much faster than expected.
“…Gulp.”
He deliberately stared at her cleavage with exaggerated hunger and swallowed loudly enough for her to hear.
Heh, he’s almost there.
Chen Mei thought it was almost too easy. The more she saw, the more she looked down on the man called Park Jihun.
Stupider than I thought. I can take him back faster than expected.
With that judgment, her words and actions grew even bolder.
“By the way, Mr. Park Jihun, do you have a girlfriend?”
She had already assumed he did. If he wasn’t romantically involved with Shin Jiyeon, there would be no reason for them to stick so close together. That was exactly why she asked. Men who received seduction from a beautiful woman usually…
“No, I don’t have one right now.”
…answered like that.
It’s over.
The moment he said he didn’t have a girlfriend, Chen Mei was convinced he had completely fallen for her.
“Oh my, then would it be all right if I went after you? Seeing you in person, Mr. Park Jihun, you’re totally my type.”
She leaned forward, resting her chin on her clasped arms. The motion heavily emphasized her deep cleavage—a sight that captured the gaze of every man in the café. Park Jihun’s eyes stayed glued to it as well.
Oh… They really are big.
Of course, since Park Jihun was used to even larger and more beautiful breasts—and could bite, suck, and fondle them whenever he wanted—he wasn’t particularly impressed. Still—
Twitch—
His lower body was a separate creature. It was already beginning to swell in response to the female body before him.
“Hmm.”
Noticing both his stare and the growing bulge in his pants, Chen Mei subtly slipped off one heel. Her foot, clad in black stockings, brushed lightly against his groin.
“Ugh…?!”
His body jerked at the sudden stimulation. He looked at her with a flustered expression. The moment their eyes met—
“Did I make you excited?”
Chen Mei was smiling with her eyes, giving him a seductive look.
…She’s in a real hurry.
Seeing how quickly she was pushing things, that was Park Jihun’s honest internal reaction. But the faster the better for him too, so he didn’t pull away.
“I’m getting pretty excited. To the point where I want to be alone with you.”
He openly radiated the desire to fuck her right then and there.
Kuk kuk, she’s properly hooked. I’ll keep her excited like this and then suggest we go to China.
Catching his meaning, Chen Mei cheered inwardly.
Fucking bitch. Not really my type, but getting my dick rubbed through stockings is kinda hot. I’ll fuck her senseless and then eat her up and throw her away.
Park Jihun cheered inwardly as well.
