Korea, Seoul: Hotel De Luna: Lobby
Jang Man Wol's lips twitched at the kid's audacity. but she calmly smiled as she released her arms from Lucian's grasp.
She grabbed his ear and twisted it, pulling him out of the elevator.
As she looked back at Lucian's companions, she ordered, "Come out yourselves." She treated Lucian like a child, but these guys were not.
They exchanged glances, then looked at Lucian, who was blinking his eyes toward them. Subtly signaling them not to fight.
They got out of the elevator, their bodies tense, ready for a fight if necessary.
"Good work pissing her off." Cortana said to Lucian, who was being dragged by the ear. She shook her head.
'We already surrendered how bad can it be?' Lucian thought.
"Tell me why you're here." Jang Man Wol said, looking him in the eye.
Lucian's face turned serious.
"We helped a ghost cross the road and bring her here." he said, nodding, proving he was telling the truth.
Jang Man Wol looked at the ghost who had come with them, seeing her eyeless form, she knew he was telling the truth, but not all of it.
"And the weapons, what are they for?" The hand on Lucian's ear tightened.
"Woman, what wea-" He didn't finish his sentence as his ear was pulled up.
Lucian hurriedly cut off his pain receptors, making him not react to the pain. He looked at Jang Man Wol with a blank face.
Jang Man Wol smirked at him. 'Interesting,' she thought, and she let go of his ears.
Lucian nodded at her with approval.
"You are very sensible."
As he straighten his clothes.
A hand passed over his head, and he felt something change. When Jang Man Wol let go of his head, she held his ears again and yanked them up.
"FCK me" Lucian exclaimed as he felt the pain amplified. He looked at her with wide eyes, as if asking what she had done.
A chilling smile stretched across
Jang Man-Wol's face as she explained,
"I noticed you're exceptionally well-trained. I used a bit of magic a torture technique, actually.Quite interesting, wouldn't you say?" The brightness of her smile was unsettling almost mocking.
"So tell me why you're here and why do you have weapons." Jang Man Wol asked again.
"I'm a kid, you can't do this to me." Lucian said, using his special move, 'thick face' as he blinked his eyes cutely.
Jang Man Wol sneered at him, then looked at the healing vampire on the floor then she stared back at him.
"He attacked first." Lucian said, trying to distance himself from his actions, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Jang Man Wol shake her head in amusement and thought 'How shameless can a child be? He's the same as that Ahjumma,' then she realized something, her eyes widening as she held his face with both hands.
"How old are you this year?" Jang Man Wol asked moving his head to observe him fully.
"Nine. You need to wait nine more years," Lucian answered with a muffled voice as his face was squeezed in her hands.
'Nine years. It's the same year,' she thought, knowing Areum's son had been placed in an orphanage. Areum hadn't said where,
but she knew it was for him to grow up.
Jang Man Wol's eyes brightened as she laughed.
"Hahahaha."
Jang Man Wol laughed softly, covering her lips with her hand, yet her curved eyes showed how happy she was.
Lucian looked at her with puzzlement. 'No way, this woman wouldn't take what I said seriously, right?' he thought.
"You wish." Cortana said, crossing her arms with a sneer.
As Jang Man Wol finished laughing, she held his face again.
"This day was very good." she said.
Then she put her hand on both his ears, smiling brightly.
Lucian's eyes widened as he reached for her hands, trying to stop her.
Then Jang Man Wol twisted his ear, making him cry out in pain. 'I can't beat you, Ahjumma, but your kid is going to pay interest.'
"You old woman-f*ck." Lucian tried to curse, making Jang Man Wol's lips twitch. This brat really was her child. 'But why doesn't this guy have kitsune blood?' she thought.
She let him go, making Lucian hold his ears.
"Damn, you got treated like a child. Pfft Hahahaha." Cortana said, trying to contain her laughter.
"So tell me again, brat why are you here?" Jang Man Wol asked again Now showing she had the upper hand.
"I'm a kid. I just follow orders," Lucian said, realizing 'thick face' wasn't going to work. He tried the 'kid card' this time.
Jang Man Wol look at him like he was joking and thought 'Child, my ass. Who would be a child that ripped apart a throat?' But she also thought it was more reasonable to ask those who were older than him.
So she looked at the tense ninjas. Her face turned blank, as if she didn't care about these guys. If they didn't answer, she would just kill them one by one.
"Why are you here?" she asked.
The ninjas didn't answer. They just looked at her as well.
"Huh, looks like I need to make an example so people will take me seriously." Jang Man Wol said, raising her arms toward them.
As she was about to make a move, a voice sounded from the guests.
"They're here to kill you." a man said.
Lucian looked at him with an expression of doubt. Lucian knew no one had said anything, and this guy knew it, until he saw the guy's face.
'What the f*ck is he doing here?' he looked at the man with surprise.
It was a vampire, a different one. His body was like stone, but he moved very fast.
Jang Man Wol looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Explain." she asked, wanting to know how this man specifically knew she was the target, as many people could be killed here.
"I've read their minds. I can't read the kid's mind, but I can read theirs." the man said, pointing at the ninjas.
Jang Man Wol looked at the man as she figured out what race he was: a Cold One, different from other vampires. Their bodies turned cold and became more like marble. And few of them had abilities when they turned.
Jang Man Wol just nodded. Mind reading only works if someone doesn't know how to protect their mind. Strong supernatural creatures like her were unaffected by this kind of thing.
But other guests were not. They moved away from the man with cautious eyes.
As the guests moved away, the man's family appeared. His adoptive parents had a smile, while his siblings didn't, as they saw people judging them again.
"You just have to go and talk and announced. You're a mind reader, don't you, Edward?" A beautiful woman with blonde hair said, frowning in anger.
"Okay, Rosalie, Edward is just trying to help," their mother said, feeling the stares of other people but trying to comfort her family first.
"Okay, babe, don't care about other people," Emmet said, her lover trying to calm he down.
"Jasper, are you okay?" their father asked the man who was constantly frowning, feeling the people's feelings.
"I'm fine." Jasper waved his hands, He felt uncomfortable as he felt others feelings.
Then he looked at his sister, Alice, who was staring at Lucian.
"Are you fine?" he asked with a worried look.
"Oh, yeah." Alice was caught by surprise and bowed her head so nobody could see her reaction. As Jasper look suprise as he felt her emotions turned, he turned and look at Lucian.
As Jang Man Wol looked at their family predicament,
"You can go. Thank you though," she said to Edward.
Edward shook his head.
"It's fine. I'm just helping to tell the truth."
As he continued to read the ninjas' minds, before he could say something,
"You should shut the f*ck up, Sparkling ass motherf*cker," Lucian said. He hated this guy violating minds, but most of all, he hated the Twilight feel It was so cringe.
Everyone looked at the rude kid. Jang Man Wol's lips twitched as she almost laughed. 'This kid is as rude as his mother,' she thought.
While the Cullen family looked at him with surprise, Edward showed an annoyed look until he read the ninjas' minds.
His face turned serious.
"They're here to assassinate a woman named Jang Man Wol." he said, looking at her.
Jang Man Wol sneered. 'These guys don't know anything about me. If they tried to assassinate me in my hotel,' she turned to Lucian. 'Let's see if you can make excuses now, kid.'
Then Edward's face morphed into surprise. "And their leader is him." he pointed at Lucian.
Lucian looked at the finger pointing at him. 'This motherf*cker really just won't stop,' as his mind turned, cutting off his emotions.
He thought calmly about whether he should just kill him here. Yet, he didn't know his bloodlust had been unleashed.
Cortana looked at him with a worried look.
Jang Man Wol and the Cullens thought it was a joke until they sensed his bloodlust, as supernatural creatures are more sensitive to murderous intent.
Jang Man Wol frowned, not because she was targeted, but because she thought he was too young to have that kind of bloodlust. 'What kind of orphanage did you put your son into, Unnie?' she thought, seeing Lucian's face turn blank as he looked at Edward.
Jasper frowned the most as he felt the pure murderous intention. The other guests felt it as well, taking their children away from here.
"He's too young to become like this." Esme said with a worried look for a child, showing how gentle she was.
Alice looked at him with a worried look.
Rosalie saw her and she focused on Alice's reaction thinking to herself, her expression turning to surprise as she walked towards her.
As she whispered to her "he's still just nine"
Making Alice stop for a moment.
As Rosalie smiled at her reaction.
Cortana looked at the surrounding people, then she called out to Lucian.
"Stop.They already noticed your bloodlust. You need to stop thinking about killing."
she was worried as it was affecting him, making him think killing was the most easily effective solution to problems.
Lucian looked at her, then his blank expression slowly eased as he breathed slowly.
He sighed and looked at the floor. He might just get pissed off if he looked at Edward.
Edward felt his murderous intention as well his body tensed up until it was gone. but he kept looking at Lucian before reading the minds of the ninjas again.
He closed his eyes as he focus on their mind, "Wait, they're ki-" he opened his eyes in shock.
The ninjas, knowing they were compromised, looked at each other, then at Asura before taking a knife so fast they cut their own necks, making them bleed. It sprayed out towards Jang Man Wol and Edward.
It was so fast that they couldn't stop it. They stood there surprised as the other guests screamed, while others left with their children.
Both were stunned and surprised until Edward reacted to the human blood, making his body excited. Carlisle held him back.
"Calm down. Take a deep breath." Carlisle said, looking at Lucian.
They all saw how the ninjas looked at him, then killed themselves.
'Oh, f*ck. I didn't know they would do that.' Lucian said to himself. He knew ninjas were loyal to the Ozunu clan, but he didn't know they were that loyal.
Jang Man Wol was surprised but she turned, not caring about the blood on her and her dress.
"Did you order them to kill themselves?" she asked with a blank face, but her mind was in turmoil. She wouldn't believe her friend's son at nine years old, would be so cruel.
"Honestly, I didn't know they would do that, but I should have known," Lucian said as he shakes his head with a sigh.
He suddenly turned as he took out shurikens and threw them at all the lights with precision.
Lucian didn't want to fight, but looking at the situation, explaining calmly wouldn't be believable.
He knew he needed to fight to survive right now. 'Although I felt pity for them, they shouldn't have looked at me.' he cursed.
The only good thing was there were no more kids in the lobby, so he could go all out.
The Cullens were surprised, but Jang Man Wol wasn't.
Before the lights turned off completely they saw him taking out what looked like a smoke bomb in his palm.
Edward, who had read the ninjas' minds, already knew what was in it. He hurriedly shouted,
"Stop him. Don't let him throw the smoke bomb."
But the lobby turned completely dark. Making it a bunting ground for Lucian.
