His Mischievous Time-Traveler: How To Capture A Celebrity Husband?

Chapter 92: You will even get a VVIP treatment in hell

"Who are you?" My brother asks him.

"My name is Thomas Park. I am from the timekeeper organization." The man is in his late-40s. His dark hair is gelled back. If it was the past me, I would have been scared the way my parents were. But, I am no longer the same. I have met these timekeepers quite times.

My brother tries to slam the door on his face, but Thomas Park blocks it with his foot. He speaks to my brother politely, "I need to discuss something with Miss Kwon."

I realize that my father has a small gun in his hand, ready to attack. My mother is holding a metal bat. They stand in front of me to shield me from Thomas Park's eyes.

My family will do anything to keep me safe. If I had told them the truth, how would they have reacted? They would have gone to any length to save me from the timekeeper. The timekeeper's organization would have wiped them out completely.

"You can't take my sister away." My brother fists his hand, ready to attack him if he takes one step inside the house. "Didn't our family suffer enough because of you timekeepers? She lived a life worse than death for more than a thousand years. You dare to show your face at our house. Leave or I will kill you. I will tell the world about the timekeepers and what you people do."

Thomas Park is not affected by his threats. He is quite professional and cool-headed. I give him that.

"Let him come inside." I walk past my parents and put my hand on his forearm. "Brother, don't worry. He is here to talk."

"But..." My brother looks at Thomas Park suspiciously.

"Right, Thomas Park?" I ask the man. God knows how many dangerous chemicals he has inside his pockets. I haven't forgotten why my body turned into the time prison in the first place.

"I promise that I mean you no harm if you cooperate with me." He pulls his foot back away from the door frame. "I only want to discuss your future with you."

"Okay." I wave him to come inside. "I will do my best to cooperate."

"Kyuri!" My brother stares at me. "Don't cooperate with them."

"It will be fine. Trust me." I hope that. "I am sure that they won't do anything crazy." Yet.

My brother moves away from the door.

"Thank you for your faith in us, Miss Kwon."

"They aren't going to leave us alone, are they?" Thomas Park chuckles when he sees my parents and my brother glaring at him from a distance. They agreed to let us talk on the condition that we must do it where they can watch us. We are sitting in the living room. My father's gun is pointed at Thomas, ready to shoot if he does anything.

"Get to the business," I say to him calmly. "We aren't friends."

He gives me a subtle nod. Time-travelers and timekeepers can't be friends. Time-travelers are the reason behind timekeeper's nightmares. "The anchor has decided to spare your life. We respect his decision. However, you are a dangerous anomaly."

"Did he die?" I ask him solemnly. I would have never guessed that he would do something like that. "My timekeeper."

"He returned to the place he came from." The corners of his eyes wrinkle slightly. "We don't know where that place is, but it's not in this world. I am sure that he can't die. The anchors are immortal entities created to take care of the rogue time-travelers like you."

I am relieved to hear that. I got attached to that special entity a bit. "What do you want from me?"

"First, I am here to give you a message." He leans forward slightly, talking with a low voice for only me to hear. "You made the deal. She was pardoned. But, she was still a time-traveler who broke rules. She was given a choice. Either she could choose to die by the hand of a timekeeper just a moment before her actual death and reincarnate right after or she could sign the agreement that she would go to hell to pay for her crime and purify her soul to reincarnate later."

He adds solemnly, "Your aunt offered to take your punishment, but it wasn't allowed. She asked me to give this message. She told me that she would be reborn in your family. So, you should get married soon and prepare well."

"..." Seriously, she... I don't know what to feel about that information. I am not sure if I will get married.

"Secondly, I am here to tell you that you can live however you want under the condition that you must never travel in time again or create big waves. You must live a quiet life. Otherwise, another special entity will be chosen to take care of you." Thomas Park's tone is neutral. "You don't get to choose because your soul has absorbed a time crystal. You are sentenced to spend is 2500 years in hell. You can choose to reduce your sentence in hell."

I raise my brow. "Reduce my sentence in hell?"

"If you give away 75% of your wealth to the timekeeper organization, it will be reduced by 75%." He shows me a toothy smile. "Miss Kwon, you are smart. You understand what I meant."

This level of corruption is... "Why do you need money?"

"Organization needs it because we need to manage a lot. Whenever a time-traveler makes a mess, we have to clear it up. We need resources and pay the timekeepers who are working for us. The special entities might not need money or food. But, we are humans." He explains to me seriously, "You have suffered considerably. If you pay us, we will send some gifts to the hell management to appease them and it will be taken care of. You will even get a VVIP treatment in hell."

"..."

VVIP treatment in hell... can anyone blame me if I say that I am curious?
