Chapter 54 Hanguk Hospital (2)

Hanguk Hospital in Jongno-gu. Uniquely, the hospital was divided into the main ward that received general patients and an annex that specialized in handling VIPs only. Many talented doctors worked in the annex, but they never treated or operated on ordinary patients even if they paid more or had acute injuries.

Perhaps thats why there was a time when the public masses had criticized the hospital for being a corrupt hospital. Still, Hanguk Hospital remained unresponsive and stuck to its management policy. After all, the heated responses only lasted for a moment, and as if itd never happened, the public mass latched onto another prey, and the hospital was never targeted again.

Now that he thought about it, he thought the results might have been influenced by these so-called powerful people.

I never thought Id come to this place.

Yoon-seok headed to the VIP ward. It wasnt because his parents were being treated extremely well, but considering how kidnapping was a crime, it was expected that they needed to be hospitalized under strict supervision.

What brings you here?

It was like an independent fortress. The hospital interior and the VIP wards were covered by high fences to see nothing on the inside. Even the windows were all sealed so that you couldnt see inside the main building. As he approached the entrance, the guard approached Yoon-seok politely.

My parents are hospitalized.

Oh, are you visiting? It might be a little bother; please fill in the list here and submit it with your ID.

Perhaps Yoon-seok was thought to be a rich family member, as the guards attitude had softened. Yoon-seok scanned through the documents that were handed to him. The content that was required to be filled was simple: the hospitalized persons room number, name, and relationship status.

Im sorry, but I didnt hear the room number because I was in a hurry. What should I do?

Can I have their names, please?

When Yoon-seok told his parents names, security began to skim through other documents.

Lets seehuh? Room 1109?

The security guard, looking through the documents, murmured to himself. Soon his complexion changed, and he asked again carefully.

Did you say they are your parents earlier?

Yes, I did.

Wait, can you hold on just a second?

After that, he began to step back slowly. On the face of it, he could see that it was far from their usual treatment toward patients families.

No, I dont think we have to wait.

At Yoon-seoks words, the guard began to sweat. Didnt he look extremely flustered? Yoon-seok took a step toward him; the guard paled while he entered the building and locked the door.

Clank.

It was useless. Yoon-seok grabbed the doorknob and tore the door off its hinges.

Crack, crack!

Witnessing that, the guard dropped the phone that he had been dialing on.

Well, I have nothing to do with it! Just hospital expenses

No matter what the guard said, Yoon-seok picked up and listened to his phone. Perhaps he hadnt pressed in all the numbers, as he was only greeted by the announcement that it was the wrong number.

Who are you calling?

I-I dont know!

He called and said he didnt know. It was a lie that even a three-year-old wouldnt fall for, but Yoon-seok just nodded.

It doesnt matter anyway. Whoever it is, well see each other soon.

W-what

He didnt want to answer the question kindly. Yoon-seok hit the guards neck and left him fainted. Then he entered the hospital.

The VIP ward site was luxurious. The lawn was well-maintained and neat, and the fountain in the center of the scenic pond was lit with colorful LED lights. Although it was late, many patients were seen enjoying nature, being pushed in their wheelchairs by their attendants.

Yoon-seok entered the building, scanning through them. Maybe it was because hed already passed the guard post? No one stood in Yoon-seoks way, and he knew the room number from the guard.

Ding.

In the elevator, Yoon-seok pressed the 11th floor. As if he hadnt pressed it, there was no light around the button. No matter how many times he pressed it, it remained the same. There was no way this elevator at a fancy hospital was broken and being left unattended

While agonizing over the reason, the doctor in the elevator eyed Yoon-seok suspiciously.

Did you happen to lose your key card?

Here, you need this for it to work?

You wouldve been informed, and a key card to the specific floor would be given at the entrance, though?

This seemed to be a matter of course here in the VIP ward. Doubts formed in the doctors eyes. Yoon-seok smirked. As expected, being educated means being smart? If he were him, he would have jumped out of the elevator the moment he had suspicions. But this doctor didnt do that.

Thump.

The elevator door closed while the doctor looked at Yoon-seok doubtfully. Only then did Yoon-seok answer.

Maybe theres been a mistake. Im going to the 11th floor, could you scan it for me?

Theres no such mistake heredid you say you were going to the 11th floor? Its a secured area that not everyone can go to, so why

Yoon-seok didnt say anything. He just smiled slightly. The doctor then tried to quietly extend his arm to the open button. Of course, Yoon-seok snatched his hand before he touched it.

Let, let go! What are you-what are you doing?

Yoon-seok applied strength to his wrist. He couldnt hold it that hard, or else his arms would have been crushed into dust. But did this count as an act of aggression? The doctor screamed as if the effect of b Torture Technician} was activated.

It was extremely loud. Yoon-seok covered his mouth with his free hand. Then, he whispered in his ear.

Lets go to the 11th floor. Do you understand?

No, you cant. No way! If you do, my career!

The doctor stubbornly refused, but he didnt have the guts to die. Putting a little more strength on his wrist, the doctor took out the key card on his own and scanned it to the designated floor.

Drrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

The elevator went up quickly. Neither Yoon-seok nor the doctor said anything to each other.

Ding.

-Youve reached the 11th floor.

As soon as the arrival alarm rang, Yoon-seok knocked the doctor out. He wouldnt need him anymore as long as he was taken to his destination. And the moment he activated his Invisibility technique

-The door is opening.

Ssskkkk.

The elevator door opened. Maybe because it was a secure area like what the doctor told him? When he got off the elevator, he saw two men guarding the front door. Strangely enough, they were wearing long swords around their waist instead of gas guns. He also felt magic radiating out of them. They werent employees of a regular security company but from the Tower.

Who is it?!

They pulled out their swords as soon as the elevator door opened. When it opened, it was natural that they saw the strange man standing with an unconscious doctor. Adding the effects of b Bloodseekers Ultimatum}, Yoon-seoks magic stat reached B-. That meant their magic stats were at least above D-. They likely had skills to counter his invisibility.

Light of Search!

As the man with a sword chanted a command, yellow light floated in the air. It was a skill that examined and removed invisibility-related skills. When the light touched Yoon-seok, his body began to be revealed.

Reveal yourself!

Yoon-seok was not embarrassed even though the invisibility was lifted. Looking at them on high alert, Yoon-seok grabbed the doctors gown casually and dragged him out of the elevator. And

Boooooooom!

He destroyed the elevator. Yoon-seok didnt want anyone to run away from here or to come in to interfere.

T-this place is run by the Korean Challenger Management Department. If you do this here

While he pretended to listen to the authoritative threat, Yoon-seok destroyed the emergency exit door. Then naturally, their warning was cut off as he moved closer. Did they realize that Yoon-seok wasnt an ordinary person? They could only take out their swords warily as they waited.

Yoon-seok was even bare-handed.

Go to sleep. I havent decided what to do yet.

Yoon-seok punched each of their abdomens and took their swords. They couldnt compare to the Sun and Moonlight Swords, but maybe they might be able to fill up some of his emptiness.

W-what?!

Who the fuck is he?

A pile of people popped out of the ward, a mix of challengers and normal people. Those who werent challengers only watched the situation while the challengers rushed toward Yoon-seok without fear. Approximately twenty people, all armed with military weapons, but

Like a group of harmless rabbits hopping toward him, Yoon-seok didnt feel threatened at all.

Is this all theyve got?

He could come up with a rough estimate just by looking at them. Their levels were worse than those union members on the sixth-floor plaza.

Thud. Thud.

Maybe it was because everyone was too quiet in watching out for Yoon-seok? As Yoon-seok began to walk through the hospital hallway, the sound of footsteps rang out especially loudly.

Did the United States send him?

I dont know who, but get him!

There seemed to be no leader in command of them. However, they reached a judgment on their own and rushed to catch Yoon-seok. Either way, Yoon-seok walked forward.

Stop him!

Hes not a normal dude! Fight to kill!

No matter what they say, he just walked without moving the sword in his hand. No matter if he was slashed with a sword, ax, or fired a gun at him, none produced significant results. All of them were blocked on the way because they couldnt penetrate the red haze around Yoon-seoks body.

Nothing could stop Yoon-seok from walking forward. But did they realize something just by looking at Yoon-seok? Someone shouted,

Choi, Choi Yoon-seok! Thats him!

Call the team leader, now!

Dont let him get into the ward!

One of the challengers, who seemed to be on the higher level, grabbed a radio and rushed into a hospital room. Yoon-seok quickly followed suit.

Sure enough, Ward 1109, which the guard mentioned earlier, appeared. Choi Cheol-hwan and Park Ji-hee. The patients plaque had his parents names on it.

Drrrrrrr

When he opened the door, he saw his parents lying asleep serenely in bed. The man who entered the hospital room before Yoon-seok stood next to the bed with a knife by his mothers neck.

Yoon-seok was genuinely curious. Did this man know what he was doing right now? He probably didnt. If hed known, he would never have done such a thing even if someone paid him.

Dont come. Drop your weapon! Otherwise.

Currently, Yoon-seok didnt have the Sun Sword. Therefore, he couldnt see the judgment mark. Thats why he didnt kill anyone but knock them out. But

On second thought, the judgment mark was irrelevant. He already knew how to tell the difference between the ones who should live or die.

Enhanced Speed.

Yoon-seok immediately shifted to the right in front of the man using Elles power. And

Crack!

He grabbed his head with one hand and popped it.
