Chapter 49: A magical banquet
Tuning out Aera’s persistent nagging, Cheon Areum’s gaze drifted past her—drawn to the sleek black car that had just come to a halt at the graveyard’s gate. The moment Yoon Seoyul stepped out, his sharp eyes scanned the surroundings until they landed squarely on him as he began striding toward them. Cheon Areum glanced down at his phone, the call still stuck on ringing, and silently ended it with a tap.
"Why didn’t you pick up my calls..."
He said while sulking and pouting. Yoon Seoyul had never ignored his calls before, had he?
"I was in a meeting with the high-class hunters who came back to the country for assistance."
Yoon Seoyul checked his phone as he spoke.
"My phone is on mute."
He showed the phone screen to him for proof, but Cheon Areum’s mood had already plummeted by the mention of the high-class hunters returning for assistance. He had already reached that point. The return of Lee Nari due to the increase of S-Class gates—it was unavoidable since he alone couldn’t do anything about the problem. The government had decided to call back their hunters from all over the world to help control the numbers in the end.
Lost in thought, Cheon Areum stared down at the soil beneath his feet as he felt a hand cross his nape, making him flinch instinctively. Aera, with a pensive expression, turned to Yoon Seoyul, speaking in an exasperated tone.
"Still no mark... you’re not serious about him, are you?"
