Terrestrial Savior Archetype - T.S.A Chapter 8 (part 3): Early Departure (2)
As Jeong-woo gritted his teeth in the heat, the man outside extended his right hand threateningly.
Pukakakakak!
The guy, of course, heard the sound of the unexpected rupture.
The shockwave in the form of reverse ripple caused by his energy erased about two-thirds of the roof of the mid-sized sedan.
Actually, part of the back seat was also missing, but the man had no time to worry about that.
“Uh, uh… … !”
Startled, the guy hurriedly turned towards the passenger seat side and fled.
“Honking. Please don’t do it. Everyone here might die. I clearly warned you.”
Jeong-woo spoke calmly, walking back towards Jo Sun-woong’s SUV, leaving the “open car” and its owner behind.
He pretended to be calm, but in fact, even Jeong-woo was surprised.
‘What was that just now…?’
In the meantime, the evaluator who had been observing him spoke up.
“Once your power is activated, it will remain active until the possessor wishes to deactivate it. Just now, Park Jeong-woo needed to activate his power.”
‘Did I need to…?’
While Jeong-woo wanted to deny the evaluator’s words, he felt like he understood what they meant. There was a significant difference in strength, and without using the power of essence, he couldn’t even catch this guy.
Should he just kill him?
It cannot be denied that he was conscious of his ranking as a savior.
Because he had the idea of absorbing this man’s essence implicitly.
He didn’t want to be weeded out.
Still, he couldn’t kill him.
‘What are you asking me to do… … ? Kill all the people I don’t like?’
Jeong-woo asked himself with a pale face.
Of course, he had to give the answer himself, and the evaluator, who must have been listening to him, remained silent.
In the meantime, cell phone cameras were running inside the vehicles in the left and right lanes.
They were filming the whole scene where he turned the man’s car into an ‘open car’.
“……”
He was caught up in his thoughts when Jo Sun-woong, seated again with his buttocks firmly planted in the driver’s seat, spoke up.
When Jeong-woo quietly opened the backseat door of the SUV, Team Leader Jo, who had been outside, sent him a strange look.
Jeong-woo ignored his gaze and got into the car.
Meanwhile, the traffic situation had improved enough to resume a moderate speed.
Thump.
Soon, Team Leader Sun-woong repositioned himself in the driver’s seat.
As he glanced at the rearview mirror to check the backseat, Jeong-woo finally spoke up.
“I got the feeling that we couldn’t communicate well. It wasn’t the right time to explain the situation in detail.”
However, Sun-woong remained silent in response. So, Jeong-woo pulled out a more heartfelt line.
“I know I seemed reckless just now. But how else could I have stopped that person? I just chose the fastest way. Right now, I don’t have any room for hesitation… If you’re upset, I apologize.”
Maybe, if he becomes strong enough, things might be different then.
Even if he becomes strong enough to maintain his rank, he won’t have any room for complacency.
People climbing up from below won’t stop until they become top-ranked themselves.
“……”
Jeong-woo turned his upper body to look back at the mid-sized car where the roof had disappeared.
Despite the vehicles behind still overtaking them, his colleague still remained absent-minded.
“I’m not blaming you, Jeong-woo. I was just wondering if this kind of approach will continue in the future.”
Sun-woong struggled to speak.
For Jeong-woo, it was a thought-provoking statement.
‘This kind of approach…’
The SUV they were in began to pick up speed gradually.
Thanks to the intersection splitting the traffic into three directions—southern ring road, Siheung Road, and the path along Line 2 of the subway connecting Sadang, Seocho, and Gangnam—Sun-woong drove straight ahead.
Dozens, maybe hundreds, of cars were heading toward their respective destinations.
