Side Story Chapter 52: Bloody Family Trip (3)

A black dragon flew across a clear blue sky. Every time the dragon flapped her wings covered in glossy black scales, a massive gust formed.

[Hm! Hm! A trip with Kang-Woo! A family trip with everyone!]

Echidna, who returned to her dragon form after a long time, flapped her wings as she repeatedly snorted in excitement.

"Are you that excited?"

[Hm! Of course, I am!]

Kang-Woo stroked Echidna’s scales as he sat on Echidna.

"But if you’re so excited, we could’ve arrived faster if we used one of the Gates leading to Singapore in the Hall of Protection."

[That defeats the purpose of a trip!]

"Well, I guess that’s true."

Just like riding an airplane, riding Echidna felt more like they were going on a trip.

"Urpp… P-Please slow down…"

Cha Yeon-Joo gripped Echidna’s scales, covering her mouth with her hand to stop herself from vomiting.

Kang-Woo softly pounded her back and said, "We’re almost there, so hold it for a little longer."

They began to see land after a few minutes.

"Authority of Stealth."

Kang-Woo used an Authority to make him and the others invisible. Echidna landed on a random building and slowly climbed down.

"As I thought, it’s hotter than Korea," said Kang-Woo, looking up at the beaming sun with a frown.

"But the buildings are beautiful," replied Seol-Ah as she looked around excitedly.

Unlike what people usually pictured about Southeast Asia, Singapore was full of highrise buildings, making it look like a concrete forest.

"Apparently, only this area is highly developed," Kang-Woo remarked.

"Urgh… I’m dying… my organs feel like they’re inside out," Yeon-Joo grumbled.

"You okay?"

"No, I feel like I’m dying. Haaa. In any case, it’s been a while since I’ve been to Singapore."

"Eh? You’ve been here before?"

"Yeah, for guild matters."

"Oh, then I guess you can act as our guide."

Yeon-Joo clicked her tongue and looked away. "It was only to attend a meeting, so I don’t know much about the place either."

"There’s our hotel."

"Dayum, it looks awesome even in the morning."

Yeon-Joo and Kang-Woo expressed their amazement as they stared at the Marina Bay Sands hotel.

"Hmm. I still don’t quite get it," Lilith said.

She was not yet fully accustomed to Human culture, so it only looked like a peculiar building in her eyes; it did not look particularly amazing enough to be amazed.

"Let’s head inside, Kang-Woo!" Han Seol-Ah shouted.

"Hoho. It’s been a while since I’ve seen our little Seol-Ah so excited. Do you want to show the king the swimsuit you bought yesterday that badly?"

"Ah! U-Unnie! You said you’d keep that a secret from Kang-Woo!"

"My, did I?"

Seol-Ah quickly covered Lilith’s mouth but it had already come out. The corners of Kang-Woo’s mouth were slowly rising.

"Sheesh, you sure are loving this. Do you love swimsuits that much?" Yeon-Joo asked.

"Hehe. Obviously."

No man wouldn’t, especially if it was worn by a knockout beauty like Seol-Ah.

"Fucking pervert."

"I’m looking forward to your swimsuit too."

"F-Fuck off! I didn’t bring one!"

"Wh-What?!" Kang-Woo pulled on his hair in despair as if he were the last human on Earth. " There’s no reason to live anymore…!"

"S-Stop fucking overreacting!!" Yeon-Joo kicked Kang-Woo’s thigh and her face reddened. She averted her gaze from him and softly muttered, "I… I brought one, so stop with that. Why wouldn’t I bring one when we decided to play in the pool?"

"I trusted you," said Kang-Woo with a smile, lightly embracing Yeon-Joo by her waist.

Yeon-Joo shouted at him not to touch her as she pushed him away.

"Wow," Kang-Woo expressed as he looked up.

There wasn’t a single cloud in the blue sky. The sun beamed down on them as if blessing their trip, and the scenery reminded him how much money he poured into this trip. Not just that, he was surrounded by three beautiful women, each with their own charms, and a cute little girl who radiated happiness.

"This is the life."

"We have a bit of time until we can check in, so why don’t we grab something to eat first?" asked Kang-Woo after entrusting their luggage to the hotel lobby employees.

"Yes, let’s do that."

"Hm! I’m hungry after flying all the way here!" Echidna’s eyes sparkled as she clenched her fists.

Lilith examined a palm-sized crystal orb and pointed at a circular building in front of the hotel. "There seems to be something called a food court under that building."

Kang-Woo stared at the crystal orb and asked, "What’s that?"

"Fufu. I had my informants investigate all the tourist attractions and the best restaurants."

"I thought you were short on hands… we could’ve just

"Kyaaaaaaaaahhh! B-Blood! Blooooood!!" a middle-aged woman screamed at the sight.

"Kurgh! Guh!"

The eyes of the blonde woman vomiting blood turned white and she collapsed.

She fell into the pool, which instantly dyed red from the blood.

"What the fuck?"
