Revenge with the Power of the Final Boss-Chapter 123

The Moriya family, Japan’s top hunter family and a dominant force in the country, maintained surprisingly good relations within the family. Even their regard for Moriya Yuji, Yuka’s brother, despite his lack of talent, stood out.

‘Normally, if someone lacked talent, they’d just give them some money and send them away.’

But the Baekho Guild’s actions went far beyond extreme. Even if other families disliked me, they would have opted for a more standard route—handing me some money and cutting ties.

While it wasn’t uncommon for top-tier guilds to act ruthlessly, Baek Hyung-won and Kim Yoo-jung were particularly alien in their behavior.

“In my opinion, even if it weren’t about your situation, Baek Hyung-won and Kim Yoo-jung are absolutely detestable trash,” Seomun Ye-jin said angrily, leaning against me. Her voice carried a mixture of fury and indignation.

Nine years ago, I vividly remembered how they had mobilized women’s groups to manipulate public opinion just to crush Ye-jin’s spirit. They destroyed her social circle and obliterated any source of support, all to turn her into a submissive tool for Baek Seo-jin.

Even back then, I was enraged. I was so furious at what they did to Seomun Ye-jin that I nearly abandoned my plans for revenge just to kill them outright.

‘Everyone’s unusually quiet.’

Han Se-hee, leaning against me on the opposite side, and Lee Ha-yeon, who was watching me silently, were both uncharacteristically subdued. Perhaps it was because they knew I was in the midst of carrying out my revenge, making it hard for them to treat me casually.

And for now, I appreciated their consideration.

Ever since that day 14 years ago, I had resolved to make this revenge happen. Now, the time had finally come.

As the pain of that day continued to torment me mentally, I fueled my vengeance by vividly recalling the faces of Baek Hyung-won, Kim Yoo-jung, and Baek Seo-jin.

They didn’t even know I was watching them. From their conversations to their every move, I could see and hear it all as if they were right in front of me.

Seo-jun, it’s about time you engaged in mating, yet you haven’t started today. When do you plan to begin?

Ramisa spoke casually, utterly indifferent to my mood. She addressed me without hesitation, her attitude bold as ever. It wasn’t as if she and I were married, so she had no reason to be reserved.

When I glanced at her, she tilted her head, her long serpentine body coiling as her forked tongue flicked out.

Why are you looking at me like that?

“It’s just... You really don’t understand human emotions, do you?”

Of course not. Seo-jun, can you understand the emotions of ants? Oh, not that I’m calling you an ant, Seo-jun. It’s just that your emotions are as incomprehensible as theirs.

Her attempt to explain herself was a sign of progress, at least. She had learned from watching dramas and started to perceive humans as equals—though she still struggled to grasp emotional nuances.

While she might understand human reactions intellectually, emotional empathy was beyond her.

In some ways, Baek Hyung-won and Kim Yoo-jung were similar to Ramisa.

Even if Baek Seo-jin explained things to them in detail, they could intellectually grasp what they had done wrong but would never feel genuine remorse. That was why they regretted not killing me and even apologized to Baek Seo-jin for it, completely oblivious to their absurdity.

‘I’d feel bad comparing Ramisa to those two.’

The fundamental difference was that Ramisa lacked malice.

Hmm, your women are unusually quiet today. Normally, they’d be all over you, fawning and affectionate.

“...Sometimes, silence is the best support, Ramisa.”

I see. If you say so, I’ll respect that.

Ramisa turned her attention back to the TV, and Han Se-hee let out an awkward laugh.

“Do you think entities like her find it hard to understand humans?”

“Of course. Beings like her aren’t human to begin with, so understanding humans is a tall order. It’s rare for someone with her level of power to protect the world or live as a human.”

Han Se-hee, now deep in thought, hesitated before speaking.

“Do you think The Fox That Devours Worlds lacks malice as well?”

The mention of The Fox That Devours Worlds—the mastermind behind the recent SSS-class villain attacks and the one who ordered the abduction of my wives—made her voice tremble.

“Who knows? Maybe it thinks of its actions as harmless pranks. The Fox That Devours Worlds is a peculiar entity, even among others of its kind.”

After Eternity, the Eternal Dragon, was slain by my friend Seomun Yoo-cheon, foreign entities had gone wild, freed from Eternity’s domination. Among them, The Fox That Devours Worlds was feared by even other entities, much like Ramisa.

Its “pranks” had led to the destruction of countless worlds.

Creak—

“Darling.”

The door opened, and Kang Yu-ra walked in, holding her mother Yoon Ji-hye’s hand. They both seemed happy.

Yoon Ji-hye bowed politely as she spoke.

“Thank you once again for saving us, Seo-jun.”

“You don’t need to be so formal. You’re Yu-ra’s mother; you don’t have to address me so respectfully.”

As Kang Yu-ra’s mother, Yoon Ji-hye was technically my mother-in-law. While I wouldn’t treat her as superior, I intended to show her proper respect.

But Yoon Ji-hye shook her head.

“No, you’ve done too much for us. Honestly, I was a bit hesitant about your having multiple wives, but everyone seems like good people. That’s a relief.”

Her warm gaze landed on Kang Yu-ra, and I felt a strange discomfort.

That expression reminded me of Kim Yoo-jung’s gaze toward Baek Seo-jin.

‘Not that I care anymore.’

Even after reincarnation, I never sought affection from Baek Hyung-won or Kim Yoo-jung. All I ever wanted was minimal decency until I could stand on my own.

Shoving those feelings aside, I turned to Yu-ra.

“Yu-ra, did you enjoy your talk with your mother?”

“Yes! Thanks to you, I was able to talk to my mom again—it feels like a dream!”

Yu-ra’s bright smile radiated happiness, washing away any lingering unease.

‘This is enough.’

Yu-ra had found her happiness, exceeding even her hopes. That was all that mattered.

Now, all that was left was for me to complete my revenge.
