Revenge with the Power of the Final Boss-Chapter 67: After the Entrance Exam

‘It’ll turn out fine.’

Baek Seo-jin walked out of the exam grounds feeling relieved. He had given his all, leaving no regrets. Judging by the reactions of the judges and the awestruck murmurs around him, he wasn’t being arrogant—objectively, his performance was likely the best in Kangin Academy’s history.

As he exited, he spotted Han Se-hee and Lee Ha-yeon waiting for their turns. Their exam numbers hadn’t come up yet, and they were standing in the waiting area.

Se-hee, stay strong. You’ve got this!

Ha-yeon, don’t worry. If you don’t pass, I doubt anyone else will.

Sending them both words of encouragement through a quick message, Seo-jin waved lightly in their direction before stepping aside. While he could stay to cheer them on, he decided against it. His presence might only complicate things, not just for Se-hee but for Ha-yeon as well.

As the heir to the Angel Guild, Lee Ha-yeon couldn’t afford to be embroiled in any unnecessary scandals, especially right before her exam. Such distractions would make it impossible for her to perform with a clear mind. It was better for him to step back and let them focus.

With the exam over, Seo-jin contemplated whether to head home or wait nearby until his friends finished. His thoughts were interrupted by the sight of two figures standing in the distance.

A man with jet-black hair stood tall, exuding an air of authority, while next to him was a stunning woman with long, indigo-tinted hair, her posture poised and elegant.

‘Kim Ho-jun! Ye-jin noona!’

Baek Seo-jin clenched his fists as he recognized them.

“Ki-Kim Ho-jun!”

“And Seomun Ye-jin!”

The entrance exam candidates erupted in excitement. Kim Ho-jun, the famous SSS-class hunter, and his wife, Seomun Ye-jin, were well-known figures. Ye-jin wasn’t just an SSS-class hunter; she was also a renowned hunter model.

Starting at the age of 15, Ye-jin had modeled female hunter outfits, gaining immense popularity. Her fame rivaled that of the biggest celebrities—arguably surpassing them.

For five years, ever since her debut, Seo-jin had followed every bit of news about her. He knew just how much the internet adored Seomun Ye-jin. His admiration for her beauty was matched only by his envy toward Kim Ho-jun for claiming her as his wife.

But what no one seemed to realize was the truth: Kim Ho-jun hadn’t won Ye-jin’s love—he had taken her by force.

‘Ye-jin noona... even though she’s miserable, she’s pretending to be happy.’

Standing by Kim Ho-jun’s side, Ye-jin appeared to radiate joy, as if she were deeply in love. Her bright smiles could have convinced anyone that she was a happily married woman. Yet Seo-jin knew it was all an act. She was being forced to play the role of a devoted wife, her will crushed under the weight of Kim Ho-jun’s control.

‘She’s even more beautiful in person.’

Having only seen her through photos until now, Seo-jin couldn’t help but think that Ye-jin’s real-life presence surpassed any image. Her beauty was on an entirely different level, exuding an aura that outshone any celebrity.

Her waist-length hair, porcelain-white skin, jewel-like blue eyes, and perfectly sculpted features—Ye-jin was a living masterpiece. Even her casual outfit of a simple t-shirt and denim shorts couldn’t conceal her overwhelming charm. Her figure, with its flawless curves, slender legs, and confident posture, was a testament to why she had become such a sought-after model.

Men and women alike were mesmerized by her elegance, despite knowing she was married.

“Wow...”

The soft sway of her hips, the contours of her figure accentuated by her shorts—everything about her drew attention. Yet Ye-jin carried herself with a dignity that seemed to proclaim her belonging to the man at her side. It wasn’t pride or boastfulness on her part, though; it was clearly Kim Ho-jun flaunting his possession of her.

‘Huh?’

Seo-jin’s eyes narrowed as he noticed something troubling. Kim Ho-jun and Ye-jin were heading directly toward Han Se-hee and Lee Ha-yeon.

‘That bastard’s going to approach Se-hee and Ha-yeon!’

Anger boiled within Seo-jin. Kim Ho-jun had already forced his way into Ye-jin’s life. Now, was he planning to ensnare his friends as well?

‘No way!’

Seo-jin prepared to rush over, intending to block Kim Ho-jun and shield his friends from the man’s grasp. But before he could act, Se-hee and Ha-yeon approached Kim Ho-jun first.

“Ho-jun oppa!”

“Ho-jun-nim!”

The two greeted him warmly, their faces lit up with friendly smiles. Seo-jin froze in shock as Kim Ho-jun responded with a gentle smile of his own.

“I heard you’d be taking the entrance exam, so I came to cheer you on. As the academy president, I can’t give you any special treatment, but I wanted to wish you the best.”

“Thank you, oppa! Your encouragement means so much to me! Hehe~”

Se-hee’s bright laughter rang out. It wasn’t just her usual cheery demeanor—she genuinely seemed happy to be talking with Kim Ho-jun.

‘Since when?’

Seo-jin racked his brain, trying to recall any connection between Se-hee and Kim Ho-jun. Then, a memory surfaced.

‘Oh, right. He captured the villain who killed Se-hee’s parents.’

The Kangin Guild had played a key role in identifying the culprit and extracting a confession from Pyo Woo-jae, the man responsible. While Kim Ho-jun had merely carried out the arrest, he had taken credit for the entire operation, presenting himself as a savior to Se-hee.

‘And Ha-yeon too...’

Five years ago, when Seo-jin had fallen to Gye Un-jik, it was Kim Ho-jun and Seomun Ye-jin who defeated the villain and rescued Se-hee and Ha-yeon. To them, Kim Ho-jun must have seemed like a hero.

‘Rescued...’

The situation made sense now. Kim Ho-jun had used those opportunities to forge bonds with Se-hee and Ha-yeon, ensuring they would trust and admire him.

‘I can’t interfere now. It would only make things worse for them.’

Seo-jin clenched his fists in frustration. With so many people watching, Kim Ho-jun wouldn’t dare pull any tricks here. Still, Seo-jin resolved to warn his friends later.

‘It’s my fault for not telling them how vile Kim Ho-jun really is.’

He had avoided showing his disdain for Kim Ho-jun openly, deeming it too dangerous. As a result, Se-hee and Ha-yeon had unknowingly fallen under the man’s influence.

“Well then, do your best, both of you.”

“I’ll be looking forward to your results.”

“Thank you, oppa! And thank you, Ye-jin unnie!”

“Yes, Ho-jun-nim! I’ll make sure to do my best!”

With a polite farewell, Kim Ho-jun and Seomun Ye-jin walked away, leaving Seo-jin standing in quiet anger.

‘Kim Ho-jun! I won’t let you have your way!’

He vowed to protect those dear to him and to stop Kim Ho-jun from dragging anyone else into his web of lies and despair.

That evening, Han Se-hee received a message.

Se-hee, can we meet for a moment? It’s important.Beside her, Lee Ha-yeon was also looking at her phone.

Ha-yeon, I need to talk to you about something important. Please come.Both phones displayed messages sent by Baek Seo-jin.

"Ha-yeon, you’re ignoring it too, right?" Se-hee asked, glancing up.

"Of course, Se-hee. Why bother? He’ll just assume we’re busy and come up with his own reasons." Ha-yeon shrugged casually as she typed a short reply: "I’m too busy, I can’t make it."

Se-hee nodded in agreement and typed a similar response before switching off her phone.

"Yeah, no need to even pretend," Se-hee said.

"Exactly. Besides, we’ve got much more important things to do tonight. Why waste our time on someone like him?" Ha-yeon replied with a smirk.

"You’re right, Ha-yeon. Hehe~ Tonight, I’m going to make Seo-jun oppa happy. Maybe he’ll compliment me when I use my breasts to please him~" Se-hee giggled mischievously.

The two were at none other than Baek Seo-jun and Seomun Ye-jin’s house. They had no intention of paying attention to Seo-jin’s messages, choosing instead to focus on their anticipation of the intimate night they were about to spend with Seo-jun.

Completely ignoring Seo-jin’s attempts to reach out, the two reveled in their excitement for the time they were about to share with the man they truly adored.
