Three Meals of a Reincarnator - Chapter 105

Chapter 105: Episode 105

“Huff! Huff! Huff!”

He was only on the 5th floor, but he was already out of breath.

While he ran with all his might.

“Ugh, I’m dizzy.”

Bowl in Ho Sung Lee’s hands expressed his dizziness.

Ho Sung Lee took a break and caught his breath.

“Huff! Huff! You can run, too, right?”

He put down Bowl as he asked the question.

Bowl wobbled side to side and then glared at Ho Sung Lee.

“Just do as master said and run! I’m having a hard time, too because of you, you dumb son of a bitch!”

“What? Son of a bitch? You little!”

Ho Sung Lee was about to kick Bowl when he suddenly knitted his brows.

“Hey, we don’t have time for this right now. We have to bring back lunch in an hour.”

Ho Sung Lee left Bowl behind and started running.

A moment later, Bowl got ahead of Ho Sung Lee.

“Huff, huff! What the heck? Hey, Bowl, How are you so fast?”

Ho Sung Lee looked at Bowl in front of him and dropped his jaw in shock.

Whether it was Bowl’s new skill or something else, he was sliding ahead as if he was on ice.

“Ugh, I’m so jealous. I’m out of breath!”

As Ho Sung Lee looked at Bowl with jealous eyes-

Slip!

“Ugh!?”

He slipped and flew into the air.

Thud!

He landed on his waist in a painful way.

“Ugh, what the heck? Why is it so slippery?”

Ho Sung Lee got up with a frown.

And then he realized that the wet surface was blood.

“Oh, it’s blood. Blood…?”

He brushed the blood off his body while tilting his head.

“But why is there so much blood here?”

It had been a while since they passed the 4th floor.

So why was the blood still wet?

Was that a characteristic of a devil’s blood?

“Meh, whatever.”

There was no time for this.

‘Damn it! I don’t have time.’

Not having Bowl by his side felt weird.

He felt like something was going to pop out.

So in order to catch up to Bowl, Ho Sung Lee ran as fast as he could.

***

“Snicker!”

Bowl stood at the entrance of the 1st floor and put his hands on his hips like a winner as he laughed.

“Huff…! Huff! Huff! Huff!”

Ho Sung Lee glared at Bowl while grimacing.

“What’s so great about using skill to go faster?”

“Snicker! You’re so slow! Snicker!”

Bowl grabbed his belly and laughed his head off.

“Is this funny to you? Huh? Well, you’ve never been in the water before, have you?”

It was Ho Sung Lee’s turn to laugh this time.

Bowl stopped laughing and dropped his jaw while looking at Ho Sung Lee.

“Do you know how to swim, you skeleton? You’ll probably just drown. You probably don’t have the skill to fly around.”

“I’ll just stick with you.”

“Who said I’ll let you? As if.”

“You’re so mean!”

“Skeletons don’t need to breathe anyway. Do your best in there and die, snicker!”

Ho Sung Lee smiled and dove in first.

Bowl flinched and followed Ho Sung Lee in.

***

Splash! Splash!

In order to bring Min Sung Kang his lunch in time, he swam as fast as he could through the waves.

Of course, he didn’t go as fast as he wanted, but just the thought of Bowl struggling gave him more strength.

‘But… What if he really sinks and dies?’

But Ho Sung Lee was worrying for nothing.

“Snicker!”

The familiar laugh made Ho Sung Lee flinch in surprise.

Splash!

He saw Bowl riding a boat and cruising by.

“Snicker!”

Bowl laughed as he spun around Ho Sung Lee as he swam.

The water splashed onto Ho Sung Lee’s face

“Damn it!”

Ho Sung Lee clenched his teeth as he saw Bowl cruising along the waters.

“Bye, son of a bitch.”

Bowl grew distant.

Ho Sung Lee stopped swimming for a moment and stared at Bowl blankly.

***

“That Bowl bastard should’ve brought the boat.”

Ho Sung Lee grumbled as he squeezed out water from his clothes.

While he squeezed water out of his hair, Bowl just stood by snickering.

Ho Sung Lee suppressed his urge to kick Bowl and began walking to the car.

At that moment.

“Wait.”

Someone stopped Ho Sung Lee’s footsteps.

Ho Sung Lee saw a man standing there while wiping the water off his face.

He looked like an American hunter of high rank.

“Did you just came from the tower?”

The man asked.

Ho Sung Lee activated his language watch.

Compared to Min Sung Kang’s language watch, his was not up to par, but there was no problem interpreting languages properly.

“Yes?”

Ho Sung Lee responded in English.

“The investigation team followed you in. Have you seen them?”

Ho Sung Lee nodded.

“I did. They went down first.”

The man looked confused.

“They went down first…? The team hasn’t returned yet.”

Ho Sung Lee knitted his brows.

“Are you suspecting us?”

“No.”

But in contrast to his words, the man scanned Ho Sung Lee’s body.

“Then what about the other man that entered the tower? Is he still there? Why did he stay there?”

Ho Sung Lee wasn’t pleased about the interrogation.

“Because I have to bring him his lunch.”

Ho Sung Lee replied with a displeased look on his face.

In response, the man showed a blank look on his face.

“… His lunch?”

“Yeah, I have to hurry, so don’t waste my time. I’m in a rush.”

Ho Sung Lee rushed to the car.

The man watched Ho Sung Lee and Bowl grow distant and then went back to the tent at the assembly.

***

The commanders were speechless after hearing their subordinate’s report.

Ho Sung Lee came out of the tower.

But he said the investigation team went down first, but they had yet to return.

They couldn’t understand that.

On top of that, it was absurd that Ho Sung Lee was delivering lunch to the scary tower.

“What the heck…?”

The American hunter master, Ethan knitted his brows and clenched his fists.

He didn’t understand how a Korean hunter was clearing such a difficult tower, and he was confused that the investigation team disappeared, and that man was delivering lunch to the tower.

Ethan glared at the subordinate.

“Once that Ho Sung Lee comes back, ask him about the details of the tower.”

The subordinate saluted and left the tent.

The commanders began to speak.

“Ethan, shouldn’t we just go into the tower ourselves?”

“The only one who can conquer the tower is that Korean hunter, Min Sung Kang. It’s hard to believe, but it’s best that we just obtain more information about that tower.”

“There’s no use just staying out here. If we just sit back and watch, we could lose all of our hunters. We should support them…”

In response, Ethan appeared frustrated.

“If that happens, the jurisdiction will be handed over to Korea.”

In response to Ethan’s remark, everyone grew silent.

However, that silence didn’t last long.

“It’s foolish to handle such a dangerous tower for our benefit.”

“I agree. Doesn’t China hold the power right now?”

“We must support him in the tower.”

“There’s no answer without that Min Sung Kang anyway.”

In response to the commanders’ opinions, Ethan stopped them with his hand.

“Let’s think about this.”

Ethan sighed at the commanders’ opinion that they should let Korea lead.

If they ended up supporting Min Sung Kang in that tower, they were bound to lose their power to the country of Korea.

And the country that would pay the highest price would be America.

Although in their current state, they had no other choice, but they wanted to buy time.

They need more time to turn things around so that America could hold power over Korea again.

They needed time.

Ethan bit down on his lip.

***

He arrived at a shop near the Warp Gate.

Ho Sung Lee was the only customer there, but since the country was supporting it, there were quite a few shops around the Warp Gate, and among them was a place selling lunch boxes.

“Here you go. Enjoy.”

A part-timer handed him a bag containing a lunch box.

Ho Sung Lee accepted the bag and got back to his car.

He turned on music to alleviate his stress and looked over at Bowl who was dancing and grabbed his aching head.

Ho Sung Lee turned off the music and stared at Bowl.

Although the music stopped, Bowl was still dancing.

“Are you that excited? Are you here on a field trip?”

Bowl plopped down on his butt in response.

“Let’s go, son of a bitch.”

“Seriously… Sigh, I’m aging so fast these days. I’m only letting this go because we don’t have time.”

“If we face-off, you’ll die.”

Bowl turned his head and stared at Ho Sung Lee with flaming eyes.

In response, Ho Sung Lee broke out in cold sweat and handed the bagged lunch to Bowl.

“Just hold onto this. We can’t be late.”

Since Bowl also agreed on the importance of the lunch delivery, he held onto the bag tightly.

He then looked at Ho Sung Lee.

“But can’t you just put this in the item window?”

“Oh.”

“You dumb son of a bitch. Where’s your mind been?”

“Shut up.”

Ho Sung Lee put the lunch in his item window and checked the time.

Too much time had passed.

Ho Sung Lee stepped on the accelerator in fear that he would be late.

The car took off and Bowl enjoyed the shaking of the car.
