What was Minhyuk’s biggest strength? It was none other than his power to attract people.0

Minhyuk was kind and polite to the point that people often forget the fact that he was the successor to a large company. He had always stood against the strong and never ignored the weak. On top of that, there was often a pure, innocent and child-like smile whenever he was eating his food, which fascinated a lot of people. Many people benefited greatly from Minhyuk’s buffed dishes as well.1

Just like that, people started to gather around him as he continued on his journey in Athenae. Before Aegaeon knew it, Minhyuk was already surrounded by countless people.0

‘To be loved by all.’0

Aegaeon looked at Valen, who had already stood up, with his sword aimed at him. Then, he looked around him. If he did his best, he was sure that he could devour Minhyuk right here and now. However, the problem came after that. If he devoured Minhyuk, the people who appeared here would make sure to hunt and destroy his fragments to the point that no trace would be left behind.0

‘I can’t have that.’0

If Aegaeon was honest, just the fact that Minhyuk was loved by all and had such power was enough for him to covet the child more. However, he knew that this was not the time yet.0

Shwaaaaaaaaaa—0

“I’ll stand down for now.”0

All of the people present were glaring coldly at Aegaeon as he disappeared from their sight.0

“Fwaaaaa…”0

The moment he disappeared, Sword Emperor Ellie released a shaky breath. Many others also breathed a sigh of relief. They would be lying if they said that they did not feel fear at the thought of fighting...0
