Even when he saw his future self lying injured on the ground…
Dō Min-jun still did not leave.
Instead, he took a few steps forward.
At that moment, a car suddenly shot out from nowhere.
Dō Min-jun activated his ability to freeze time, then prepared to teleport away instantly.
But the time stop only lasted for a split second.
The next thing he knew, he was struck and sent flying.
In that brief moment suspended in midair, Dō Min-jun finally understood,
Why, in the vision of the future, he was lying on the ground wounded.
Because in just a few months, he would be leaving Blue Star, returning to his home planet.
Partly because he had stayed here for far too long and wanted to go back.
But more importantly, because his powers were becoming unstable.
Whether it was his teleportation ability, his time-freezing skill, or even his extraordinary vision,
They were all affected.
Only by returning to his home planet could he recover fully.
And just now, when he used his powers…
He happened to encounter an unstable surge.
They went completely out of control.
Which was why,
The time stop only lasted for an instant.
And teleportation failed altogether.
So he was injured, ending up exactly like in the vision of the future.
Thud!
Dō Min-jun crashed to the ground.
His head spun, his consciousness hazy.
Tap tap tap…
Footsteps approached.
A figure in a crisp suit hurried over to where Dō Min-jun lay.
The man glanced around cautiously.
Seeing no one else nearby, he bent down and snatched the USB drive from Dō Min-jun's hand.
At that moment,
Though lying on the ground, Dō Min-jun was still conscious.
But his mind was foggy, almost dreamlike.
He could only sense that someone had taken the USB.
He couldn't even see clearly whether the thief was a man or a woman.
After grabbing the USB, the suited man quickly retreated.
But instead of leaving entirely, he stopped at a distance to observe.
Not long after, a white sedan passed by.
It pulled over near where Dō Min-jun had fallen.
Two young people jumped out, a couple.
The man wore glasses, the woman had long brown hair.
When the woman saw Dō Min-jun lying there covered in blood, she panicked.
『Girl with Brown Hair』: See? I told you it was a person!
『Girl with Brown Hair』: This has to be a hit-and-run! What do we do?
The man stayed calmer.
Without saying much, he checked Dō Min-jun's condition while making a phone call.
『Man with Glasses』: Hello?
『Man with Glasses』: There's someone lying here, possibly a traffic accident.
『Man with Glasses』: The address is…
He not only called the police but also requested an ambulance.
Soon, both security officers and paramedics arrived.
The medics rushed out of the vehicle.
Seeing only the young couple nearby, they guessed these two were the ones who called.
『Paramedic』: Where's the injured person?
『Man with Glasses』: Over here!
The man quickly led them to where Dō Min-jun had been lying,
Only to find the place empty.
『Paramedic』: …Where?
『Man with Glasses』: He was right here just a second ago…
The girl pointed to the exact spot.
『Girl with Brown Hair』: There was a young man bleeding here!
『Paramedic』: Strange… even the blood is gone.
Indeed, there was no sign of a body.
Even the blood had vanished.
They searched for a while but found nothing.
The medic frowned at the couple.
『Paramedic』: Don't do this again, understand?
『Man with Glasses』: …Alright.
A police officer spoke sharply.
『Police Officer』: If this happens again, we'll arrest you for obstructing official duties. Do you have any idea how busy we are?
Clearly, they thought the couple had been playing a prank.
『Girl with Brown Hair』: We're not lying! He was right here,
『Police Officer』: Yeah, yeah. Sure.
The man stopped his girlfriend from arguing further.
Even though he'd seen the man just moments ago,
Now there was no trace.
Without proof, the medics wouldn't believe them.
Arguing would get them nowhere.
The medics and police, seeing their compliance, left without saying more.
…
A short distance from where Dō Min-jun was struck,
A black sedan was parked by the roadside.
Nearby, a suited man peered through binoculars at the scene.
He was the one who had hit Dō Min-jun.
Li Jae-kyung's secretary.
『Secretary』: Strange… He was lying there just now, and I already took the USB.
『Secretary』: Now he's gone, and even the blood is missing?
Just then, a voice rang out,
『???』: Of course. He used teleportation to leave.
『Secretary』: Who's there?!
Startled, the secretary looked around.
After all, he had come here intending to kill Dō Min-jun.
The area had been empty, until now.
He quickly spotted a casually dressed man nearby.
『Secretary』: …You?!
He recognized him instantly,
The man who had been with Zhang Manyue earlier that afternoon.
But hadn't the executive ordered him dealt with?
Why was he here now?
『Carl』: Wondering why I'm here?
The secretary didn't answer, but his expression betrayed him.
『Carl』: No harm telling you,
『Carl』: I came to deal with you.
Carl's eyes flashed with two brilliant red beams, striking the secretary.
A mere ordinary human, the secretary was vaporized instantly.
Carl then turned toward the car, intending to destroy it as well,
But noticed a stack of 50,000 won notes inside, the highest denomination.
About 50 US dollars' worth.
He thought for a moment, took the cash,
Then destroyed the car.
…
Meanwhile, the girl who had called the ambulance earlier was fuming.
『Girl with Brown Hair』: Seriously! He was right there! Now he's gone, and we got scolded for doing a good deed!
『Man with Glasses』: It's fine, it's fine. Maybe he wasn't badly hurt and walked away.
『Girl with Brown Hair』: He could've at least said something!
Thump thump!
A shadow dropped before them.
Startled, they looked closer,
A thick stack of 50,000 won bills lay at their feet.
『Girl with Brown Hair』: Wh-what's this?
『Carl』: The man you saw earlier asked me to thank you,
『Carl』: For calling the ambulance.
They turned to see a figure walking away.
『Man with Glasses』: Hey!
But the man didn't stop.
『Girl with Brown Hair』: Whoa… this is a lot of money!
She rushed forward to pick it up, eyes shining with joy.
The man thought about returning it, but recalling Carl's words,
He stayed silent.
