The Foreigner on the Periphery

Chapter 71: Dragon Hater, Dragon Hater (5)

Minjun reunited with Edward Mitchum a few days after conquering the monster. Before he could inform him of the outcome, he would have negotiated with Jenkinson. Yes? Did you catch it?!"  

The news of the arrest of a monster mixed with dragons and extraterrestrial creatures was, of course, not worth the press. Doing so would only amplify social anxiety and interfere with finding the cause. And so, there was no official announcement, but Edward was probably guessing. Even though the cycle of returning once every three days was fulfilled, the threatening video did not come in.  

As the expectations turned into reality, a sense of relief began to seep into Edwards face. "The evidence is here."

Minjun showed the video so that Edward could believe that the Immigration Bureau had secured the blackmailer and was in custody. How is it?  

"It must have been . . ." The monster in the picture was wearing a polymorph. The body of a pure-blooded elf was used when meeting Edward. She was reciting her current condition as Minjun told her. In order to prove that she was not a fake, she was deliberately telling the circumstances of that day that only monsters and vampires knew.  

It was a part that Edward had never shared with Minjun. Minjun said turning off the video, thinking that this was enough. "There will be no future for this woman to harass Mitchum."  

Edward hesitated and asked. "Are you going to kill me?" The agent asked.

At this, the agent shook his head. "I'm sorry, but I can't tell you."  

In addition to this, Minjun decided to tell the part that he had been thinking about releasing until the end, after a bit of adaptation. Mistaking oneself as a rape perpetrator and letting them live in guilt, and giving trauma by letting them know that they were not the perpetrators, but the victims of rape.

Minjun could not make a value judgment about which of the two was moral. However, he concluded that it was right to tell the truth as much as possible from the standpoint of receiving money and carrying out the commission.  

"But let me tell you. Sir. In fact, it was not Mitchum-san who fascinated him."  

Yes?!  

As he listened to the explanation that followed, Edwards face turned white. "The ability to charm vampires?"  

"You can think of it as an agnostic ISP manifester. Technically speaking, it is not a real ISP because it can reproduce. Jenkinson, who is busy moving to absorb Changcheon's medical and pharmaceutical history, was going to study the composition of the chemical.  

"My God, I can't believe it."  

For the first time in Earths history, the vampire, who became a rape victim instead of a rapist, mumbled blankly. "Do you know what race it was?"  

Minjun then pretended not to know. "Is that important?"

"Well, it matters." It could not be said that the dragons genes were mixed. It was a promise he made with Jenkinson, who represented the dragon tribe of this land. Instead, Minjun decided to give him another name to identify the creature.  

"It was a spider-like creature."  

There was five seconds of silence.       Yes?  

Edward, who had hardened like a stone, began to ask once again. Sorry. What did I hear wrong now?"  

"I think you heard it right. It was a creature that looked like a spider."  

"A spider? Eight-legged that?"  

Yes. It definitely has eight legs. Three of them were more like protruding intestines than legs."  

"Wow!"  

Eventually, Edward could not bear it and ran to the bathroom, vomiting profusely. Meanwhile, Minjun muttered to himself as he saw the back of the door kicking out.  

I was in a polymorphic state anyway, so why would it be such a shock? No matter how many legs you really have.'

For a creature with twenty-six tentacles and a mixture of several decades of flesh, eight legs were nothing more than dignified. After a while, Edward returned to a shabbier state and sat down.       Sorry.  

Fine. The quest isnt over yet. Edward brings up the topic he had been putting off on his own.  

"So, what about the children?" A more sensitive issue than how to deal with monsters is the behavior of children. After all, it didn't change that they were Edwards children.  

"Look at this screen first."  

One could see the inside of some facility. The boys Minjun brought in were being cared for by Jenkinsons employees. There were more nannies than children in the playroom. There were books and toys all over the place.  

Edward then spoke in a bewildered tone. "There are four of us. In the meantime, another one was born."  

Thats right. Not only did the numbers increase, but the children who had grown noticeably in a few days caught Edwards eyes. The eldest child was already developing at the age of ten.

Minjun then said, "If you wish, you can claim custody of these children. But before that, please listen to me."  

At this, Edward looked at the image as if possessed. Four half-elf boys. Children who looked just like him were playing with innocent expressions in the video. The mannequin-like cold expression disappeared, and everyone smiled broadly, then frowned, murmured, and then cried.  

A variety of emotions were oozing out. The children, who were controlled like her marionettes when they were ruled by her queen spider, returned to her normal children from the moment she unshackled them. No, strictly speaking, it was not truly ordinary. The results were the same as normal children, but the growth rate itself was abnormal.  

Children acquired language at a rate impossible for ordinary half-elves and exhibited a transcendental rate of intellectual, emotional, and physical development. It was difficult to judge the appearance of the first child, who came and comforted the third crying after falling while running, was that of a creature less than a month old. In order for the brain, muscles, and bones to develop at such a low rate, of course, a tremendous amount of energy must be consumed.  

In other words, the vitality was rapidly being consumed. "These children have less than a year to live."  

"!"  

Edward, who turned his head to look at Minjun, looked down at the screen with trembling eyes again. "A year?"

Edward, who secretly and hastily entrusted with genetic testing, did nothing but check paternity. On the other hand, Jenkinson even took his blood and left it to the best researchers for thorough analysis. As a result, it was found that the monster had many characteristics of a dragon in terms of magic and intelligence, but it was very similar to a spider in terms of reproduction and results.  

In other words, those boys were designed to be short-lived instead of growing as fast as regular soldier spiders. This was despite the fact that both the half-elf and the dragon that provided the genes were long-lived. After adequately explaining this part, Minjun said, "So you dont have to worry about the children claiming the inheritance. Even if they file a lawsuit, they will all die before they even reach the third trial. Theres no need to worry that those kids will have offspring. Its because you were born with a body that couldnt sow seeds in the first place. However, Immigration guarantees that there are no plans to adopt anyone. only.  

Then, he began to ask while looking into the other person's intentions with deep eyes. "If Mitchum, the biological father, asserts custody and custody of the children and is willing to take care of those children, she will cooperate with the immigration office as much as possible . . ."  

"No.  

Edward didnt even wait for Minjun to finish speaking. He speaks again with a firm will. No.

Minjun looked at him silently. The vampire slowly turned his head. "These are not the children I wanted. If there is a way to turn away, I will. It grows, grows old, and dies within a year, and it cant produce offspring, and its mother is a spider? Something like that something like that"  

The half-elf mumbled softly. "What kind of person is that?"  

***  

The day Minjun caught the monster. He saw that Jenkinson was at first startled, then a little terrified, and after a while he began to get fiery. "Who the hell could do such a horrible thing with a dragon's body?!"  

The monster before his eyes was nothing more than a biological provocation to challenge the dignity of the dragon. And so, Jenkinson tried to just kill her at her first, but Minjun stopped him. And the more his subordinates progressed, the more he felt hesitation and shaking, different from the resolute determination he had at first. The rift led to one question.  

Could that creature really be considered a dragon? "I thought it was a chimera that recycles parts of a dragon's body, but it wasn't."

When they looked down at the genetic level, it was a characteristic that was clearly revealed. "That's the result of artificial breeding.' As you can see from the status, it was not completely successful. Its not completely unsuccessful though. Maybe thats a concept that existed only in theory because it could never exist in nature Yes, it might be considered a hybrid of dragons.  

Until now, heterogeneous individuals expressing ISPs against dragons, for example, Kim Yeon-joo, had only seduced their opponents but had never produced the result of that love.  

Minjun then thought, In that way, should the Ober spider be regarded as the only race capable of creating a hybrid of dragons?'  

A creature designed to be able to reproduce from birth. I could vaguely guess why the creators of the monster had chosen the spider. Meanwhile, Jenkinson felt like his head was about to explode.  

"The children born of that spider also have a little bit of dragon genes."  

"I thought it would. My curse didnt work. It's a resistance that can only be achieved with a dragon."  

Of course, you cant expand the dragons range arbitrarily in this place. However, Jenkinsons point of view could not punish them all. In the end, Dragon reached a compromise.

"I will be protecting both the spider and the children for now. What if your father came out like that?"  

"I don't care."  

Minjuns interests proved to be different. Such was the real reason for capturing that monster. The prisoner and the dragon spoke to the mutant. "Come on, tell me everything. where are you from Where were you born?"  

Then, there came one more important question. "Why were you looking for the real talent?"  

Trembling, the monster answered.  

***  

Unlike normal dragons, monsters had no memory of the moment they were born. When she was born, it seemed that her mind was closer to a spider than a dragon. However, as time passed, intelligence bloomed like a faint light on the dark alcove, and the flash gradually filled the darkened head. self was created.  

She then began to remember what she had been through.

  = They experimented with me A lot of experiments =  

The monster, who knew that her own life depended on the two in front of her, complied with her question. She said she was a failure by those who, according to her memory, were experimenting with. Mutations that were out of harmony and protrude in the process of mixing genes.  

"Did you see what the researchers are like?"  

= No, Ive always heard only mental waves. In a way similar to the way I now convey my will.=  

Judging from the content of their conversation, the twos faces quickly hardened when it was said that there were more creatures that looked like spider monsters there.  

= I dont know how long its been in that state. When I woke up one day, I was out there. I just opened my eyes and I was outside already. =

Thats her release.  

The creators of her monster had for some reason unleashed her into her society. "When did that happen?"  

=About 10 years ago.=  

Minjun frowned. A monster like that had been roaming around for 10 years and one didn't know?

However, the question was resolved through the following words. It was said that the place where she was first released was where the Peoples Republic of China used to be, and since then, she had been living around the descendants of Old China for a while.  

"You haven't even been caught."  

It was relatively recently that she came to Korea. Hearing the date, Minjun frowned. "After Changcheon died?"  

The news of Changcheons death was big news that had no choice but to be reported in the media. The news that Goryong committed a major crime that violated both domestic laws and the Dragonic Code and was punished by another elder dragon was also reported as a scoop in foreign media.  

Meanwhile, information that would not have leaked out if Changcheon was alive also appeared on the news. It was everyones concern how her fortune would be distributed, but it was later reported through the mouths of bank employees that a large amount of talent had been stolen from her inventory. Of course, ordinary people didnt even know about such a thing, so they didnt pay much attention to it.  

However, there was a monster that listened to the news.
