The one who gave money to that couple who had called the ambulance was, of course, Carl.
After all, it was money he'd come across by chance.
Besides, Carl didn't dislike people who showed such bravery in helping others.
Consider it a reward for them.
As for why Carl had come here,
Earlier, after washing up, he had been resting at his hotel.
Feeling bored, he casually used his super vision to check on Do Min-jun.
That's when he spotted the man getting hit by a car.
Carl had gone over, ready to help,
But by the time he got there, Do Min-jun had already vanished.
And it wasn't Carl's doing.
When Carl arrived, the man was already gone.
It seemed likely that Do Min-jun had used teleportation to escape.
Carl merely used spatial power to clean the blood from the scene,
Then went to deal with that secretary.
『Carl』: Hmm… what to do now?
With that thought, Carl's figure blinked out of sight.
The next moment, he was inside a house.
The place was beautifully furnished and spacious.
One glance was enough to tell it was expensive.
However,
There was something out of place in the room.
On the spotless, polished floor, blood was splattered everywhere.
And on that floor lay a figure,
Bleeding heavily.
Carl raised a brow at the sight of that somewhat familiar face.
Do Min-jun.
He looked remarkably like a certain celebrity from Carl's previous life.
With a thought, Carl made the bloodstains vanish from the floor,
Even the blood on the doorknob disappeared without a trace.
…
Do Min-jun lay on the floor, barely conscious.
He wasn't completely out cold,
But after being hit earlier, he had collapsed, unable to move.
Though not unconscious, he couldn't get up right away.
Later, he noticed someone stop nearby,
It seemed they'd called the police and an ambulance.
That was when Do Min-jun decided he had to leave.
He was an alien.
On the outside, he looked just like any human,
But his body was very different from a normal person's.
He had known this for centuries.
Naturally, going to a hospital was impossible.
Otherwise, his non-human identity would be exposed.
So he could only flee.
Fortunately,
His teleportation worked this time.
It seemed his powers hadn't completely vanished,
Just become unstable, working only sporadically.
Still,
It was enough to get him home.
He could recover on his own, or wait for his friends to arrive.
However,
Not long after,
He sensed someone entering his home.
Forcing his eyes open, he could just make out a silhouette.
Who… was that?
Lee Jae-kyung?
Panic shot through Do Min-jun.
He himself wasn't particularly afraid of dying,
But Cheon Song-yi was right next door.
If it really was Lee Jae-kyung, then after killing him,
He'd never spare Cheon Song-yi.
That was something Do Min-jun absolutely couldn't accept.
Damn it,
Why now, when he was so badly injured?
He tried to use his powers,
Though honestly, he didn't expect much.
But unexpectedly,
His mind suddenly cleared.
He could even see the intruder clearly now.
A stranger.
Not Lee Jae-kyung,
But a young man with black hair, dressed casually.
One of Lee Jae-kyung's men?
Oddly enough, Do Min-jun also realized his injuries no longer felt so bad,
In fact, he didn't feel any pain at all.
He teleported to stand behind the young man,
About to knock him out,
When, to his shock,
The man in front of him vanished.
What the, ?
Where did he go?
Then a voice sounded,
『???』: Easy, easy.
Turning his head, Do Min-jun saw the same man standing right beside him.
But,
How was that possible?
Just a moment ago, he'd been in a completely different spot.
Suspicious, Do Min-jun activated his time-freezing ability.
He strode toward the man,
Only for an even bigger shock to hit him.
The stranger,
Who should have been immobilized in frozen time,
Was still moving.
He glanced around calmly, saying,
『Carl』: So this is your time-freeze? Pretty impressive.
???
Why was he still able to move?
Had his powers failed?
Do Min-jun instinctively glanced at the wall clock,
The hands hadn't moved.
Outside the window,
Cars were frozen mid-motion, like a paused scene.
Clearly,
The world was under his frozen-time ability.
So,
What was this man?
For a moment,
Do Min-jun began doubting reality.
How could someone move in his frozen time?
Frowning, he teleported behind the man again,
Only for him to vanish yet again.
Then the voice came once more,
『Carl』: I told you, I'm not your enemy.
『Carl』: In fact, I'm your savior.
Do Min-jun turned to see the young man casually opening his fridge, taking out a bottle of milk, and drinking without hesitation.
The behavior irked Do Min-jun slightly,
This was his home, after all.
But more than annoyance,
He was intrigued by what the man had said.
Saved him?
This man?
He had no idea how that could be.
『Do Min-jun』: What do you mean? You saved me?
Carl didn't answer right away, he finished the milk first.
He would have preferred soda, but there wasn't any in Do Min-jun's fridge.
『Carl』: Of course I saved you.
『Carl』: Otherwise, no matter how good your regeneration is, you wouldn't be recovering this fast.
And indeed, that was the truth.
Carl didn't have much healing ability,
But with his control over time,
He could achieve similar results.
Just now,
He had restored Do Min-jun's body to the state it was in an hour earlier.
Naturally, the injuries were gone.
So as far as Carl was concerned,
Calling himself Do Min-jun's savior was no exaggeration.
