The Hunter’s Gonna Lay Low

This kid really... Uijae struggled to remove Lee Sa-young’s hand from his neck, but strangely, he couldn’t muster any strength.

Lee Sa-young scrutinized Uijae’s face for a while, then extended his other hand. The large hand clicked, removing the mask.

Thud... The mask, barely repaired, fell lifelessly to the ground. Uijae glared at Lee Sa-young with wide eyes. Well, now that he had seen his face, he’d probably stop this rude behavior, right?

‘You’re dead.’

Forget comforting him; I’ll start over with the education.

However.

Even after seeing Uijae’s face, Lee Sa-young’s expression and demeanor didn’t change. Instead, the hand gripping his neck tightened. It was to the point that it became unbearable. If he were a normal person, his neck would have already snapped. Uijae coughed and clenched his teeth.

‘This bastard...!’

He barely opened his eyes and saw the man in front of him. Despite choking him mercilessly, Lee Sa-young examined Uijae’s face with his ominous violet eyes. After a moment, he lowered his gaze and let out a small sigh.

“What did you expect...?”

His voice was laced with loneliness and self-mockery. Uijae stopped struggling. Anxiety crept up his neck. The way Lee Sa-young was acting... it was as if...

‘He doesn’t recognize me...’

This was an unexpected turn of events. Could it be that the portal led to a different world? Even though he wanted to say something, all that came out was a choking sound as his neck was being squeezed. His breath became shallow.

A languid voice echoed.

“You’re annoying... It’s not an illusion, but the fact that you’re still alive, even more so.”

“Cough, ugh…”

“You can’t... wear this mask, someone like you.”

Squeak. The hand around his neck tightened further. The violet eyes glowed menacingly.

“You want to kill me...”

‘Are you seriously going to choke me to death?!’
