Chapter 644: Human World[R-18] (73)
The meeting ended faster than I expected. Han Mu-gang's reason for gathering the top guild masters and rankers was clear. It was a warning to prepare, as there was no telling when, where, or how another rift might appear.
“Prepare thoroughly, whether by guild or individually. The Association will also share as much information as possible.”
With that brief request, the meeting concluded. The guild leaders and rankers rose from their seats, each with a complicated expression.
Im Hye-rin approached me from the side of the conference room and whispered slyly.
“Son-in-law, are you having fun on your dates with your new girlfriend?”
I blinked, momentarily flustered.
“How did you know about that? We've barely been in touch lately.”
“How? I had cameras installed in your house, of course.”
Im Hye-rin leaned in and whispered playfully in my ear. She laughed, her fingertips brushing against my thigh.
“I asked Bi-yeon to do it while you were out, and she agreed right away.”
“…That bitch.”
“Don't be too hard on her. We were the ones who asked. But your new girlfriend is a real stunner. When are you going to introduce me?”
“How about right now? It's not like I have anything else to do.”
“Sounds good.”
“By the way, what's Hwa-yeon up to these days? I can't get a hold of her, and I haven't seen her around.”
“She's busy. I've been piling guild work on her. I'm getting older, so I need to start preparing to hand things over.”
“Come on, you're still in your prime.”
“Well, that's just an excuse. Hwa-yeon needs to start learning what it takes to be a leader. I can't keep her by my side like a child forever. And if she wants to stand by your side, she has a lot more to learn.”
“Hwa-yeon's really going through a lot.”
“Well, that's how it is.”
Just then, Oh Jeong-seok, who had been standing at a distance, strode over.
“You two look quite friendly…”
Without a moment's hesitation, Im Hye-rin linked her arm with mine, smiling brightly and deliberately showing her affection.
“Oh, are you jealous? You know what they say, a mother-in-law's love is for her son-in-law. I guess you wouldn't know, since you don't have one.”
She really has a talent for getting under people's skin.
Oh Jeong-seok's expression twisted, and his voice dropped.
“Im Hye-rin, do you really need to be so hostile toward me? I still—”
“Shh. That's enough. Keep the rest of that thought to yourself. Say any more, and I might just burn you to a crisp, not leaving a single hair behind.”
Im Hye-rin snapped, a blue flame igniting at her fingertips. The air in the conference room instantly heated up, and the other guild masters watched us with tense expressions.
Oh Jeong-seok retreated with a bitter look, but he glared at me as if he wanted to kill me. It was obvious he had feelings for Im Hye-rin. The problem was that it felt like more than just a crush; it was a strong obsession.
The bastard. It's disgusting how he's coveting another man's woman.
“Im Hye-rin… let's talk again later. And I heard you recently divorced your husband—”
“Hah… you're so annoying. You just don't listen to words, do you?”
A blue flame erupted from her fingertips, and the air in the room quickly grew hot.
Just as everyone's eyes focused on us, Association President Han Mu-gang met my gaze and gave me a pleased smile.
Why is that old geezer just watching like that instead of stopping this?
Just as Oh Jeong-seok was about to speak again, “Hye-rin—”
-Thud!
In an instant, I grabbed Oh Jeong-seok's face and slammed him into the conference room wall.
“That's enough. Say another word, and I'll smash your entire face in.”
I spat the words out dispassionately, laced with killing intent.
But the bastard grabbed my wrist and twisted, his eyes flashing. A sun-like heat flared from his fingertips, and his skin began to glow with a golden light.
-Ssssssh…!
The intense heat tried to burn my arm, but I didn't flinch, instead applying more pressure.
“You'd be better off… not using your powers.”
I drew up my internal energy from my dantian. In that moment, the entire Association building began to vibrate.
Instantly, everyone gathered there—every ability user except Im Hye-rin—collapsed, gasping for breath and clutching their necks under the sudden pressure.
Even Han Mu-gang was horrified, breaking out in a cold sweat. The conference room was filled with a suffocating silence and terror.
I tightened my grip, applying pressure as if to crush Oh Jeong-seok's face.
“Guh… Ughaaaaaah!”
“If you ever come near my people, my woman, again, I'll kill you on the spot. Remember that.”
Completely overwhelmed by my aura, Oh Jeong-seok could only writhe in agony, unable to muster any strength.
Not wanting to get his bodily fluids on me, I flicked my hand and let him go, then slowly surveyed the room.
The air was deathly still. Only when the pressure finally lifted did the surrounding ability users begin to gasp for air.
Some collapsed into their chairs, while others, pale-faced, wiped sweat from their brows.
“This… is the Overlord…?”
“The gap… is this… huge…?”
“That's… not human…”
Even those who had prided themselves on being the strongest were now painfully aware of the difference between hearing about it and experiencing it firsthand.
In the chilling silence of the conference room, only Im Hye-rin approached me, a bright smile on her face.
She patted my shoulder nonchalantly and whispered playfully in my ear.
“My, my, son-in-law. You were so dependable today. Should I give you a special ‘tasty treat’ as a reward when we get home?”
I chuckled and shrugged.
“I'll look forward to it.”
Just then, Association President Han Mu-gang spoke in a low voice.
“Ahem, everyone, please wrap things up and head home. And Seo-yun, could you stay for a moment?”
Im Hye-rin, who had been excited at the thought of spending some quality time with me for the first time in a while, puffed out her cheeks and pouted cutely.
“Aw, why! I was looking forward to spending some time alone with my son-in-law!”
The president nodded apologetically.
“My apologies. But please, just spare a moment.”
I thought for a second before nodding.
“Understood.”

Han Mu-gang and I were the only ones left in the conference room.
“Have you been busy lately?”
“Well, nothing out of the ordinary. So, why did you ask me to stay?”
“Those things we saw in the video earlier… the World Association has determined them to be Otherworlders. Beings from another dimension.”
“I figured as much.”
“I thought you might have already guessed. But… the problem is why now, and why are they appearing in this manner?”
“Even if you ask me, I don't know anything. I was suddenly brought here myself, after all.”
Han Mu-gang slowly stroked his chin and let out a short sigh.
“I asked just in case you knew something. The World Association is currently gathering and analyzing all information related to Otherworlders, but no one has a clear answer to the most fundamental questions: why now, and why like this?”
Is this old geezer just going to complain to me? I sighed inwardly. My whole "Otherworlder" act was a lie I'd made up, but I still wished he'd only call me when he actually needed something.
I looked at Han Mu-gang impassively and asked.
“So, did you call me just to talk about Otherworlders?”
Han Mu-gang tapped his forehead with his palm and gave an awkward laugh.
“Ah, my apologies. I must be getting old, I keep forgetting things. The real reason I asked you to stay… is because I have a favor to ask.”
He glanced at me cautiously before speaking.
“A new training institution for ability users is going to be established soon.”
“A training institution?”
“Yes. As you know, crimes committed by ability users are surging worldwide, and these strange phenomena aren't stopping. But we're always short on combat-proficient users. So, the government and the Association have joined forces to create a specialized institution to intensively train not just combat users, but all kinds of ability users.”
I sighed. “So what is it you want to ask me?”
“I'd like you to serve as a temporary instructor, even for a short while. I know it's rude to ask this of the Overlord, but we're critically short on skilled talent right now. Plus, if you show your face, it'll become a huge national issue, and the number of applicants will skyrocket from that alone.”
“So you want to use my reputation as bait to attract new ability users. The Overlord as an instructor would be great publicity.”
Han Mu-gang shrugged sheepishly.
“To be honest, yes. In fact, you don't even need to lecture. Just officially lending us the ‘Overlord’ title will have a huge effect. You'd only need to teach a few classes symbolically.”
“A figurehead instructor… I just need to show up when needed.”
“Exactly. You can just come and teach whenever it's convenient for you. And if you happen to spot any promising talent during class, you're free to recruit them yourself.”
I thought for a moment, then nodded.
“Sure, I'll do it for fun. But you don't mind if I take any good ones for my guild, right?”
Han Mu-gang hesitated for a moment before replying with a sigh.
“…Just don't take all of them. The Association is always short on talent, too.”
I smirked.
“I have some conscience.”
Han Mu-gang smiled gratefully.
“Thank you. I knew I could count on you.”
I stood up and said jokingly, “And if I don't like it, I can just quit, right?”
“Haha, of course.”
We ended with a light laugh and a handshake. And with that, my conversation with Han Mu-gang came to a natural close.

When I left the conference room, Im Hye-rin was waiting for me, leaning quietly against the wall.
She looked up as I approached.
“Is your talk over?”
“Yeah. Let's go.”
“Did you bring your car?”
When I nodded, she immediately picked up her phone and made a short call.
“Yeah, it's me. Bring Seo-yun's car around.”
After hanging up, Hye-rin smiled brightly.
“Let's take my car.”
“Okay.”
A moment later, a chauffeur politely opened the car door for us. We naturally sat side-by-side in the back. The driver's seat and the back were completely separated by a thick, soundproof partition, creating a private space.
The moment the door closed, Im Hye-rin's entire demeanor changed. The lewd expression of a voluptuous married woman was plain to see.
“Honestly, it's been so long since I've tasted your cock, I'm starting to have withdrawal symptoms…♡”
Her hands undid my belt and pulled down my pants in one smooth motion. As her hot breath washed over my thighs, my cock was already hard and erect.
“Hahh… slurp, sluuuurp…♡”
“It's been a while… feels good to use my mother-in-law's mouth pussy.”
Im Hye-rin gave me a playful, smiling glance as she slowly released my cock from her mouth.
“Hehe, my dear son-in-law. After you protected me so gallantly today, a reward like this is only natural, isn't it?”
Then she opened her mouth again and swallowed my cock deep in a single gulp.
“Sluuuck, sluuuuuurp…!”
The car filled with a mixture of erotic breaths and wet sounds.
I gently stroked Im Hye-rin's hair with one hand and leaned back deep into the seat.
