The opponent sneered openly.
「Huh! A hyena like you appears and greedily devours dreams.」
He then readied himself, fingers sharp as knife blades, poised to charge.
Though the reunion was unexpectedly soon, since he could recover by absorbing only high-quality nightmares, the injury wasn’t completely hopeless.
His aim wasn’t victory, but survival.
But just as he was about to attack.
「……!」
He disappeared.
Sweat trickled down beside his taut pupils.
A shadow silently approached, heavily looming over his shoulder.
And then,
Whoosh!
「Ugh……!」
A black blade pierced through his right chest and soared upwards.
Thud, thud!
He crumpled to the floor, rolling and colliding with a wall before coming to a halt.
Fear gripped him, making his scalp tingle.
He had initially thought he was overpowered during their first encounter, but he now realized that wasn’t the case.
He couldn’t even gauge if escaping alive was possible.
‘I must flee, I must flee…!’
His mind had made the decision to escape, but he was paralyzed, unable to move a finger.
San’s footsteps splashed through the pools of blood as he approached.
It was strange.
No matter how he considered it, he couldn’t believe that a mere creature like this had monopolized Kang’s nightmare all this time.
His long-held suspicion solidified into certainty.
All that remained was,
“Who’s the mastermind?”
To capture the core entity.
The battered figure on the floor barely parted his lips.
「I don’t know who you are, but you’ll never match up to him……!」
As soon as he spoke, his throat was constricted.
「Ugh!」
“Just answer the question, and skip the nonsense.”
「Look, I’ve only offered nightmares to him…ugh! I’ve done nothing else!」
He started to defend himself, saying he had only brought nightmares as offerings.
Claiming that with just a small sacrifice from Kang, everyone could live in peace.
「Isn’t it a good thing? Not all dream eaters harm humans. I’ve lived my best life, looking after the kids.」
After the fire incident, some children had been tormented by nightmares so much that they still required psychological treatment.
And Gam Young Hee had been feeding off those children’s nightmares and fragments of Kang’s dream to survive.
「I also didn’t violate any taboo. I’ve only ever wanted a world where humans and dream eaters coexist without any deaths.」
“Why do you keep diverting?”
「Listen! I’m just saying dream eaters don’t necessarily have to kill each other. We can live in peace, you see? Isn’t that way more comfortable?」
It seemed like he was desperately pleading for his life.
「And if I die, this orphanage will collapse! Many humans who trusted and followed me will fall into despair!」
“That’s their problem.”
Thud!
「……Ah!」
The thrown man shrieked as he collapsed once again.
As he closed in, the man scrambled back, speaking.
「Wait, wait!」
“…….”
「You might be too agitated to… remember, but once you find out my true nature, Seo Kang will be the one most devastated.」
“So?”
「The life of that already tormented child will become even more painful. You wouldn’t want that, would you?」
At those words, San halted in his tracks.
Then, with an impassive face, he gazed at the man and slightly tilted his head.
“You seem to be under some delusion.”
「……!」
“I’m the one who wishes for Seo Kang’s despair more than anyone.”
His cold voice continued.
“Both of us thrive on human despair and fear, don’t we?”
「!」
“Right?”
The questioning San raised his sword again.
Then, pointing the tip towards the man’s heart, he spoke.
“Don’t think dream eaters have any sort of benevolence.”
If a benevolent dream eater exists, it’s merely a new hybrid.
As San readied his sword, the man mustered all his strength and started to flee towards the window.
He had already learned through experience that resisting would only shorten his life.
However, as he was halfway out of the window, he couldn’t progress any further.
「Ugh……!」
Looking back, he saw San gripping his ankle.
“Where are you running off to?”
「……!」
“We still have things to discuss, don’t we?”
A faint smile spread across San’s face.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him

Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!

*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
