Chapter 1075. Taking Action (5)
The devil’s hand tightened around Seok Dong-Su’s throat.
He couldn't sense any hints of human warmth from the hand gripping his neck. And this indescribable cold robbed him of any thoughts of resisting as it gradually squeezed his throat like a noose.
“Keu-wuuk?!”
A gasp of shock leaked out of Seok Dong-Su’s mouth. This was the moment the sensation he had forgotten for so long waking up! And that was... violence!
More specifically, the power to physically subdue others!
The first power humans felt and experienced after birth was neither financial nor political in nature. Even if a human was too young to understand the usefulness of money or the vastness of political power, they could still appreciate the unique strength of “violence.”
However, humans would forget “violence” as they grew older. That was because they would grow more distant with age from those activities where bodies clashed to inflict physical pain.
What remained after that was other types of power.
As for Seok Dong-Su, he became obsessed with political power. Or, more correctly, the power that allowed him to grow closer to the hidden truths of the world.
...And the power that granted him the authority to order others around with just a glance or a flick of his hand!
Not getting lost in such seductive power was practically impossible for a human being with a beating heart.
