Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!-Chapter 185 - - Brutal Warning

Talon's commanding tone made Mr Jones go completely silent as if his tongue was tied. Something about the voice that spoke to him made him immediately listen and do what he was asked to do.

'What the hell happened to this kid? When I heard he killed that man, I didn't expect him to become like this. His aura... I can feel it through the device. He is almost a completely different person!' Gulping down a mouthful of saliva, he heard Talon starting to speak again.

"I heard some really interesting things about the human society in Gwangju. I'm hoping you will clarify some things I'm going to ask now. Oh, by the way, I can hear if someone enters the room or if you gesture for the two men behind you to go fetch someone. I hope you won't try any funny games like trying to locate me." Talon said in a respectful tone.

However, Mr Jones knew that it wasn't the case at all. He could feel the underlying threat in his tone and he felt his back grow colder.

His hand which was about to lift up to signal for the men around him went down again slowly.

"Good, so, who exactly is the leader of the human society?"

"Why do you want to know?" The man asked warily.

"I have some business with him. He did something unforgivable." Talon said.

"What? What are you talking about, kid?"

"Oh, you know very well what I'm talking about, Mr Jones. Sophie told me that you're one of the people that built that base from the ground up. So, I'm sure you're aware of what kind of operations the military is conducting, no?"

"..."

His question made Mr Jones go completely silent. His face frowned.

"Talon, what are you talking about?" Sophie asked with a shocked expression on her face. She didn't understand what he was trying to imply.

"Oh, he didn't tell you about the bombing campaign he conducted on the Seoul National University a month ago?" Talon raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"What?! No, I never heard of that. A bombing campaign?!" Sophie's eyes widened.

"A month ago, during the night, a fleet of military jets flew over the campus and dropped tens of bombs, destroying everything and almost killing hundreds of students, me included." He said in a clear tone.

At that moment, Sophie's face changed drastically as a hidden memory in her head triggered itself. She remembered hearing bits and pieces about the military jets going out for a mission a few weeks ago but she never knew the details of said mission.

Now that Talon said that, it clicked in her head.

"Why…"

"Why? I wonder why too... That's why I'm asking your father over here. He probably has the answer. Do you, Mr Jones?"

"..." The entire time, the man was completely silent.

"Dad? What are you waiting for, speak."

His daughter's confused voice made him clench his teeth. He knew that he couldn't lie about it since his daughter could definitely affirm that he is a part of almost all the plans that go into the human society.

"Yes, I do recall something like that happening."

Hearing that, Sophie's expression shifted from confusion to shock.

"But, listen to me, Sophie. It was all for the sake of our people. Seoul was already infested with monsters and we had to find a way to clean it before we could actually try and take control of it. The campus was one of the most dangerous places in the city."

"Oh… So you were planning to take over Seoul?" Talon asked with an interested look.

"The human society wants to expand to every corner of South Korea. We want to rebuild the entire country from the ground up. Seizing Seoul is one of the biggest steps to achieving that goal. We couldn't just send people into the city to clean it."

"Clean it, huh? Interesting." Talon murmured as his eyes flashed with a weird glint.

'So they were attempting to expand toward Seoul… That makes sense considering how crucial it is and the geographical location of the city.'

Since Seoul was very close to the sea and yet not directly next to it. It made it the perfect location to control the entire country. Not to mention that it's the capital city and it has a significant name in the world. Taking it back is akin to declaring that humans are still fighting and winning.

"Still, you knew that there were survivors inside the campus and yet you went on with that plan."

"We had no oth-"

"I don't buy that nonsense, Mr Jones. Sacrificing the lives of hundreds of innocent people for a fleeting dream, that's delusional."

"It's not a fleeting dream, kid. And who are you to tell me what's right and wrong? You're still a mere kid who knows nothing about the world."

"Oh, trust me, Mr Jones. I know far more than you or anyone does. As for Seoul, it's under my control now. You can discard all the plans you had for this place. "

"What?! Are you insane?! You cannot control an entire city." The man blurted out angrily.

But, Talon ignored his words as he turned to Sophie and gave her a nod. "I am going to do just that and then, my next target will be the human society in Gwangju. I'm going to take control of that place too. Consider this a threat… Once I reach you, you better give it up or... Blood will be spilled."

Then, without waiting a moment, Talon closed the device and put it away.

"Sigh…" Sighing, he ran his hand through his hair. His eyes wandered to Sophie who was still frozen in her place.

"I really didn't know… My dad… Why would he accept doing this…" She murmured with a wavering tone.

In her eyes, her father was a kind yet also stern man with a soft side for her. After her mother died, her father took her place and became the person who took care of her. She naturally was deeply attached to him. However, their relationship grew worse when she fought with him about Talon.

'Dammit, why dad? Killing people… How is that the only way… How could you accept such a thing…' She clenched her teeth in anger and betrayal.

Her head was filled with chaotic thoughts and she couldn't even notice Talon approaching her.

"Don't overthink it, Sophie. I know that I never got along with your dad, but I don't know if he would go as low as to accept killing people for such a reason. Until I meet him and see it with my own eyes, I would believe that he was tricked into this." He said as he tapped her shoulder. "You can contact him later and ask him if you want."

Sophie looked up with a lost look on her face. Seeing the serene expression of her beloved, her heart calmed down and she could finally think properly.

"You're… right…" She murmured.

"Let's go back and we can discuss this more later, ok?" He said as he tapped her shoulder.

"Mm… Let's go back home…" She replied in a familiar tone.

Talon smiled lightly at her before he turned around and started walking. Sophie didn't notice his expression growing darker and darker as he moved ahead of her.

'So, the human society is an enemy now, officially. I had declared war against them. Whether that would bring the unwanted attention of the other nearby countries or not is still not clear. But, even if they decide to get into this, it doesn't matter. I will crush them all. I won't stop till I'm totally sure that nobody can threaten me or the people I care for.' He thought in his head.

At this point, Talon didn't care what kind of consequences his next moves were going to bring. He has complete confidence in his own abilities and the abilities of the people around him. He had no reason to fear anyone.

'Because I'm the strongest.'

Meanwhile, back in the human society. Mr Jones put the receiver down after shouting a few times without an answer.

The entire room went completely quiet for a few seconds as the men around him looked at him nervously.

*SMASH*

Suddenly, he punched the table using all of his strength. The table was completely destroyed with one hit.

"Goddamit, that fucking brat! Who does he think he is?! Does he even realize what he is saying?! Taking control of Seoul and Gwangju? Hah, what a joke! Just because he defeated that piece of shit, his ego is now as big as the earth!

Hah... Hah..." Heaving up and down angrily, the man tried to take a deep breath to calm down.

Then, he turned around and looked at his men. "Call him right now."

"W-What?" One of the men asked hesitantly.

"You know what I'm talking about, I need to meet him right this moment!"

Hearing that, the men quickly left the room in a hurry, leaving Evan Jones alone.

"Why, Sophie, for all that is good, did you fall in love with that bastard? Even though I tried to warn you. You kept going back to him. I should've never told her that he was alive. Dammit!"
