Global Awakening: Only I Can Respawn

As they walked towards their room, Gina couldn't hold back.

"That woman..." she said. "Can I kill her already?"

Gina's question made YuWon cough. She was a monster, a jealous one at that. He didn't know why it surprised him she wanted to kill Yuna, who had been acting all chummy with him.

"Not now," YuWon replied. "She can be a useful pawn later. Till then, can you please tolerate her, my lovely wife?"

Gina huffed and turned away, but YuWon knew how to settle her heart. With no qualms, he lifted Gina, his hands wrapped around her waist, kissing her tenderly.

Yeji blushed and turned away, not wanting to ruin their moment. A moment later, Gina was all smiles, completely forgetting about Yuna. But YuWon knew it was a temporary fix.

Yuna wasn't someone who would back down easily. She would keep up with her attempts at seducing him, and Gina wouldn't tolerate it.

If he didn't want any explosions later, YuWon had to come up with a permanent solution later.

But that didn't guarantee a solution to the problem. Yuna was playing tricks on them and YuWon wasn't one to like that kind of thing. However, killing her would be a waste.

That skill of hers is quite compatible with me. I can gain stats from their soul. The crimson blade can drink their blood and Yuna can feed on the corpse. The perfect trio.

YuWon knew if he uttered those words in front of Gina, she would kill Yuna right then and there.

"Brother... we need to do something about her, though," Yeji mumbled.

"Brother?" YuWon raised an eyebrow. "We're siblings only in front of others. When we're alone, you must address me properly."

Yeji looked at him. There was a certain conflict in her eyes, but it soon disappeared, replaced by a smile.

YuWon could be harsh with her, but at least he allowed her to call him brother publicly. She was more than happy with that. As for addressing him properly, Yeji knew what YuWon wanted to hear.

"M-Master," Yeji said, staring at her feet, blushing. "I... wanted to tell you about something regarding Yuna."

He nodded, and Yeji told him what she saw while Gina and YuWon were busy fighting the goblins. It wasn't anything YuWon didn't already know. Even so, he acted surprised, patting Yeji on the head.

"You did good," YuWon said, giving her a rare smile.

For the next phase of his plan, he needed Yeji's help. The pats on the back and nice words were like a reward he would use to keep her on the best behavior, as it was crucial for his plan to work.

After all, ridiculing Yeji all the time might push her away, so he had to show her some affection to ensure she stayed loyal to him and only him.

"Don't worry," YuWon smiled. "With your help, I can take on anyone in this world."

Yeji smiled as a tear rolled down her cheek. At that moment, her feelings for YuWon grew even stronger. Forget about harming Hoon. She would even fight the gods for him if that made YuWon happy.

The next moment, YuWon took the bag off his shoulder and handed it to Yeji. She took the bag, looking confused.

"Take this," YuWon explained. "Wait until it gets dark, then go around the camp and deliver the supplies directly to the people. Make sure it's done quietly."

"You want me to... distribute the supplies?"

"Not only that. If you see anyone who is hurt, make sure to heal them. But don't overdo it. Just a couple of times should be more than enough."

Yeji wasn't a fool and understood what YuWon wanted. Yuna wanted them to take all the heat from the people by publicly giving them a bag full of food and medicines.

It was Yuna's way of making YuWon dependent on her. She probably thought with everyone hating on YuWon, they would soon leave him and then Yuna would swoop in, saving YuWon and turning him into her loyal puppy.

But if Yeji gave away those supplies to the people in secret, they'd be the ones who would grow dependent on Yeji, since Minho and Yuna were not giving them much.

If I add some things from the Phantom Bag to that, it'll be easier to influence public opinion.

YuWon looked at Yeji. Even though she had been nothing but a heartless bitch to him, he couldn't deny she had a certain innocent appeal.

If someone could challenge the camp's heartthrob, Yuna, it was Yeji. She had the looks and the kindness to outshine Yuna. The people were bound to warm up to her quicker than they would to someone like YuWon.

"So, you want me to play the part of the camp's saint?" Yeji asked.

"You played the part of the campus belle well," YuWon smirked. "This much shouldn't be difficult for you. You'd have my gratitude for doing this—"

YuWon's gratitude. That's all Yeji had to hear to agree to the plan.

"I'll start tonight." Yeji eagerly nodded. "I'll make sure it's done quietly."

Yeji took the bag and held it close to her. The scene made YuWon scoff, but he held back. For the plan to work, he had to ensure Yeji was in the best of moods.

Besides, with Yeji out, it would give me some time with Gina.

Gina had been acting out a lot more since Yuna came into the picture. Unlike Yeji, Gina had to hide a bigger secret, which took a mental toll on her.

YuWon couldn't take any risks with Gina accidentally revealing her identity, which is why he had to show his love to her that night and get her to calm down.

Well... it's not like I was looking for an excuse to get intimate with her again. But more than that, I'm looking forward to Yuna's reaction tomorrow.

YuWon smiled. He knew Yuna thought she was smarter than everyone else, but she wasn't ready for him.

He didn't like being manipulated, and he especially didn't like people trying to control him. It was about time someone put her in her place.

"This is going to be interesting," YuWon grinned.
