Legend of Legends

Guard Team Three carried out covert operations for ST Capsule. They were fitting the hideout with new equipment and talking among themselves.

"Boss, is it OK to install something like this?"

"It's OK. Anything unusual?" The boss asked the person in charge of the wiretap.

"Maybe the person did it intentionally, put the TV is on a high volume, so the wiretap is not working. He is not speaking much either."

"This will finish the job."

They were installing something very heavy. It was some distance from the window and located in the shadows. It was an infrared heat signature detector.

The boss installed it and turned it on. Soon, all of the heat signatures inside of Junhyuk's building were on display. The boss focused on Junhyuk's room.

His expression hardened.

"What is going on?"

Inside the room, a heat signature flared up. Junhyuk was swinging something, and whenever he swung the object in his left hand, the screen of the heat signature detector became fuzzy.

"Is he making cold air?"

Then, something surprising was captured by the detector. Junhyuk moved from one end of the room to the other end of the room instantly.

The boss' and others' eyes widened.

"Nothing is wrong with detector, correct?"

"Nothing is wrong."

Then, Junhyuk's shape disappeared from one side of the room again to appear on the other side. The boss' eyes beamed.

"This is really real."

He was wondering why they had ordered him to watch an ordinary company worker, but now he understood. Junhyuk ate dinner and turned up the volume on the TV. They knew that he was trying to hide.

"I should report this right away."

"We will continue to watch him."

"Right."

The boss took the infrared footage and went to the parking lot. He was about to get in his car when a car drove up and stopped in front of his car.

The boss' expression hardened when four men got out of the car. He understood everything soon as he saw them. They were highly trained.

"Where did you come from?"

"We don't have time to talk. If you give us the footage, we will go away."

He couldn't handle four guys, but he could make more of the footage he had in his hand, so he agreed to hand it over. One of the man picked it up when another man shot a taser at the boss, knocking him down.

The man that took the footage looked up.

"Let's go. Take him with us."

They went up to Guard Team Three and used the tasers to restrain them. Both group were of equal strength, but the tasers made the difference.

Everyone was on the ground, and one of the man looked around and said:

"They have some nice equipment. Destroy everything."

"Yes."

They moved quickly inside Guard Team Three's hideout and collected everything, including the wiretap tapes. One of the man looked at the infrared heat signature detector.

"He surely has special powers, but he is weak against state of the art weaponry."

The man pulled out a cigarette, put it between his lips and walked over to the window. They were a good distance from where Junhyuk was staying.

"They don't know."

They had learned something Important. The man took a deep drag off his cigarette when his subordinates walked up to him.

"Everything is ready."

They cut the gas line and watched the gas flow out of it. Then, they turned the electric stove on and prepared for the explosion. As an accelerant, they added petroleum.

The members of Guard Team Three were still on the ground, and the man took another drag off his cigarette. When the other group arrived at the parking lot and got in their car, there was a huge explosion.

Boom!

Junhyuk was surprised by the sound of an explosion, opened the curtains and looked out of the window. It was far from his room, but he could still see it.

He was suspicious of everything these days and looked at it carefully. He put on his backpack, went out and started to run.

He was running toward the explosion site and saw a car pass him by. It was a Mercedes Benz, and he saw people inside of the car.

He ran straight to the site and saw the entire building engulfed in flames.

The whole villa was engulfed in flames, and people were watching it burn. The sound of sirens got louder, and the firefighters arrived.

He saw the room on fire and had an idea. Even though it was burning, if he wore the black armor, he could get inside.

He thought about it for a moment and went up the building next to the villa. He could see the inside of the room through a window. It was full of strange equipment that was not at all normal in a room like that.

He looked at it and decided to do an experiment. He wanted to use spatial relocation to get inside because he thought he might find something revealing.

From the top of the building, he jumped over to the top of the burning villa and looked around. The smoke was giving him cover, and he summoned the black armor and closed his eyes.

While at the Dimensional Battlefield, he had only teleported to where he could see. Now, he wanted to teleport to somewhere he couldn't see.

Junhyuk imagined the room he had just seen and teleported.

The room was engulfed in flames when Junhyuk showed up. He didn't know how long the black armor would last against the fire, so he inspected the room quickly.

There were four men on to the ground, already on fire.

It was too late to rescue them, so Junhyuk clicked his tongue and continued his search. All of the equipment was burning, and he could guess what it was.

"A wiretap machine?"

Junhyuk realized he should've been more careful. He had only closed the curtains and turned the volume on the TV.

In the middle of the room, there was a heavy machine, burning. It did not look like a wiretap machine and it had a camera on it.

Junhyuk looked around and saw people coming in and teleported out. He was on the top of the villa and sent the black armor away. Then, he jumped over to the next building.

The villa was filled with smoke.

"I should be more careful," he told himself.

Were they watching him with a camera from that distance? He had his curtain drawn. Is that even possible?

Junhyuk realized they did not use simple cameras. That huge machine in the middle of the room was not just a camera. It wasn't a fluoroscope*. They had wanted to capture his movements through the wall.

"Infrared?"

It was something out of a movie. He was very intrigued and realized someone was interested enough in him to use that equipment.

Junhyuk looked around the top of the building. It really looked like arson, so the people who had started the fire might come back.

Junhyuk looked at the people below. He inspected them out carefully, but no one looked suspicious. He widened his search, but he still didn't find anyone.

"There was more than one group watching me."

That was his guess, and he needed a new plan. He didn't want anyone to know about his powers.

"I need to spend some money."

Junhyuk left the place. He had something to do and he should move quickly.

Bang!

Doyeol slammed his fist on the desk and ground his teeth.

"The entire Guard Team Three is dead?"

"Yes."

Doyeol had a serious expression and leaned back on his chair.

"What happened?"

"They became unidentified human corpses."

"Do you know who did it?"

"We checked the CCTV and found a suspicious vehicle, but it had been previously stolen."

"That's right. They are serious and extra careful."

Doyeol thought for a moment and asked:

"What about the equipment?"

"We installed it yesterday."

"That means they filmed something with it. Send in another team with new equipment. Who could replace Guard Team Three?" He asked, caressing his chin.

"Guard Team Six, but they are still raw."

"It's OK. They won't be made by an ordinary citizen."

"I'll get them ready."

Doyeol waved his hand.

"You may leave."

The executive secretary left, and Doyeol caressed his chin again.

"Are they doing this?"

Someone was audacious enough to interfere, and he could guess who it was. Whoever it was, attacked and killed people working for him, but for now, he would be patient.

Without evidence, he couldn't challenge the other party. They were in the same meeting group, but that didn't mean they were on the same level. Doyeol had been able to participate in the meetings because he had provided the mana stone.

"But I won't let it slide."

He had already hired someone to deal with the other side. Doyeol had to know what they were up to, and he had to find out more about Junhyuk.

"I'll be busy."

How many people had Doyeol stepped on to get to where he was now? Among them, there had been people that seemed he couldn't possibly go against, but he did not step away from a fight.

Junhyuk wanted to buy a new house. It wasn't expensive to get one in his current district. If he were to purchase an old house, he would only have to pay for the land.

The land usually cost 950 dollars. If it was close to road, it would cost over a thousand dollars.

However, he ended up purchasing an eighteen-hundred-square-foot house.

It cost him over half a million dollars, and he paid an extra fifty thousand dollars to move in quickly. The owner wanted to move back with his parents, so he was able to move in within three days.

After he moved in, he began restructuring the house. He paid a lot of money to build a living room and an extra room.

After that, he wanted to coat the walls with lead. This cost a lot, but he wanted to prevent any monitoring from infrared detectors.

Someone was watching him, and that someone might know what he was up to, but the important thing was for that someone not to find out what he was doing.

He paid extra, and the construction was finished quickly. It only took one weekend, but it had involved more than ten workers.

The exterior wall was finished, but they still had to work on the inner walls. The ground had not dried yet, so he couldn't place any carpet.

Junhyuk sent everyone out.

In only a few days, he had spent a lot of money, but it was for his survival, and when he bought the house, he inspected it entirely.

He considered his last house and the house that was burned, and he made sure nothing was close enough to his new house.

"I lost a lot of time."

He started training again.
