[93] "Clarifications"
[At night, in Shinhwa]
Jiyoung was sitting on the main seat, legs crossed one on top of the other, as she tapped her fingers on the desk, deep in thought.
In front of her, Inhyuk spoke. "The Union has captured the Klein brothers, and they are investigating the identity of the body of the Awakened One who murdered Dr. Delein."
Jiyoung nodded and asked. "Do they have any idea who it is?"
"Delein didn't do anything to escape, he turned himself in and cooperated, but he didn't reveal much. He only mentioned that they were looking for him because he had been missing, and these things are likely to happen again. According to the information Park Seongha gave us, if it wasn't for Dr. Delein, the casualties in the Union would have been astronomical," Inhyuk replied.
Jiyoung reflected on the information and commented. "It is understandable. We knew that Delein had dealings with powerful international organizations because of his research accomplishments."
Inhyuk nodded in agreement with Jiyoung's words.
"Do you know how they defeated big brother Klein?" asked Jiyoung seriously.
Inhyuk's face darkened and he said. "We were informed that Jiwoo used a technique to leave him vulnerable. We were able to corroborate it, as Duran Klein's body has broken ribs and most of his internal organs are burned by something you assume to be electricity."
He paused and continued, "But from what they said, they couldn't completely overpower him. Although they left him severely wounded, they suffered a great counterattack and were knocked unconscious."
Jiyoung understood the situation and heard Inhyuk say. "I think they got help, as Duran Klein has a contusion on his head, and the doctor said that hit knocked him unconscious."
"Hmm..." muttered Jiyoung in agreement and said. "It's possible it could have been Kayden or Ares. We know the relationship they have with those people. Didn't they say they would be staying in our country for a while?"
Inhyuk frowned and replied. "Yes, they said so, but we haven't had any information from them. They have completely disappeared until this moment."
"They are Awakened Ones who are not easy to find, as many people are looking for them. It's not uncommon that they can disappear easily," Jiyoung said calmly, then added in a calmer tone of voice. "We shouldn't worry about them for the moment. We should focus on what will happen in the future."
Inhyuk agreed with his chairwoman's words and thought about the big future problems the country might face with the arrival of more Awakened Ones searching for Dr. Delein.
"How are the boys?" asked Jiyoung, snapping Inhyuk out of his bewilderment.
Inhyuk quickly replied. "The boys woke up a few hours ago and are currently resting at Shinhwa Hospital. They received treatment immediately due to the severe burns, they suffered and Jiwoo has his arm badly damaged."
Jiyoung raised an eyebrow in surprise. "His arm is broken?"
"Yes, we can conclude that it was the result of overdoing it by using such a powerful technique that his body couldn't resist, and he ended up injuring himself," Inhyuk explained.
"On the other hand, Jisuk and Subin have more severe burn injuries. It seems that the two of them received the most damage during the attack," Inhyuk added.
Jiyoung remained silent, deep in thought, while Inhyuk was also lost in his own thoughts.

[At Jiwoo's house]
Ares settles on the couch in his human form, cuddling Silvia, while Kayden settles pleasantly on the couch in front of him.
Kayden stretches and yawns before saying. "I didn't think you'd come with your familiar. One might come to think you're preparing for a war."
"I wanted to meet Jiwoo," Silvia added nonchalantly as she settled comfortably on Ares' lap.
"And what better way to spend time with Jiwoo," Ares commented with a smile.
Kayden sighed and said. "I'm sure she'll enjoy it. She'll be a queen, with Jiwoo taking care of her like she does her cats."
"I'm a princess," Silvia arrogantly stated before falling asleep.
Ares sighed and commented. "Her arrogance and nonchalance about everything are unbelievable."
Kayden laughs and says. "It's normal. Her power is incredible. We could consider her the most powerful beast today."
Ares agrees with Kayden.
After a moment, Kayden adds. "Jiwoo needs more training and experience," he settles down on the couch and says, "I need a nap," falling asleep immediately.
Ares sighs with a smile on his face as he watches Kayden's disinterest and then thinks. 'Jiwoo will face several challenges against other awakened of his age, and must also deal with the incident with Baekdu and Dark.'
'A training in Illuminati and fights with the youngsters there would be a good preparation for Jiwoo before the World Academy sends its members to this country'.

[A few hours ago]
Delein is tied up in a suit that prevents him from any body movement and is sitting on a chair. In front of him is Seongha.
Seongha, arms crossed, is sitting in his chair and says. "Do you have something to tell us, Dr. Delein?"
Delein smiles and replies. "No..."
Park frowns, a little annoyed, and asks again. "Are you sure you have nothing to tell us?"
"Yes, there's nothing to tell," Delein comments calmly.
Park clenches his fist and rises from his chair, saying. "Then you won't be able to see Wooin again."
Delein watches Park walk away and playfully says. "You think all I did when I got out was hanging out with that guy and not get a guarantee?"
"Unfortunately, your organization could be involved in a war with another entity and that war would affect your entire country," Delein concludes with sadness in his voice.
Seongha Park turns around and looks coldly at Delein, saying. "What have you done?"
"Nothing...," Delein replies wryly, and then adds. "You're not asking where you should."
Park looks at Delein seriously, sits back down and asks. "Who was he?"
"You're asking good questions now," Delein says.
"Answer it," Park says irritably.
"Well, he's someone the organization sends out to find others when they go missing," Delein replies nonchalantly.
"What organization?" asks Park.
Delein shakes his head and replies. "That's not something you should know."
Seongha gets up from his seat and withdraws, saying. "We'll talk another time."
"Loberne, that's his name... what you can investigate will depend on your skills," Delein said while closing his eyes nonchalantly.

[Shinhwa Hospital]
Subin and Jisuk, completely bandaged, were clutching their hair in pain as they argued.
Jiwoo, also bandaged and with his arm immobilized in a sling, was covering his face with his cards as he watched the other two fights.
Suddenly, the door opens and Wooin enters the room with a large amount of food.
"Wooin!" exclaims Jiwoo with joy.
"I brought food," announces Wooin.
"Excellent job," replies Jisuk, getting up and walking over to get the food.
"What did you bring?" asks Subin, following Jisuk.
"Whatever you each like best," Wooin replies, but his face reflects sadness. "Guys..."
Jiwoo, Subin and Jisuk stop and look at Wooin, noticing his sad expression.
"Thank you so much for helping me, and I apologize for leaving you in this state, it's my fault," Wooin says sadly.
"Don't worry, we decided to help you," Jiwoo replies.
Jisuk sits on his bed and says while eating. "We wanted to fight, you are not to blame for this."
"That's right, we decided to take him on, not you," Subin adds, tapping Wooin's back affectionately with a smile.
"Guys...," whispers Wooin with teary eyes.
"Let's eat... this is getting awkward," Jisuk suggests.
"Yes, let's eat together what Wooin brought for us," adds Jiwoo cheerfully, changing the awkward atmosphere to one of happiness.
"Thank you," says Wooin.
"Let's eat before the food gets cold," Subin proposes.
The four young people enjoy a nice meal, laughing and enjoying the evening, while time flies by at an astonishing speed.
