Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Beauty And Masked Beast Chapter 257 - Plays Along

Hanging out with Hw.a.n.g Miyeon had proven to be really useful for Soohyun, and at the end of the day, she managed to extract very much useful answers from him.

A small smile formed on her face at that. Usually extracting that much information from Minhyun would have taken a lot of effort on her part, but Miyeon was easy-going.

So far, she had obtained knowledge on how the King was suspicious about how Minhyun could potentially be hiding the Prince, and he was also paranoid of Minhyun rebelling. But this was considered to be a rumour and not an exact fact.

The King did not want to give off his crown to the next in line for throne and might even try to destroy the Prince once he is found. That is why the reason the Prince is being hidden away at that part.

There are also gossips in the mansion on how the recent attacks are regarding someone rebelling against the King, and Jaeho was attacked because he is the most loyal one to the King or at least that is how it is thought to be.

However, so far, what she had gotten from Miyeon is merely rumours, and they can be false as well. These rumours could be spread with the intention of drawing the attention to some other direction as well.

Walking through the hallway in the Palace, Soohyun tapped her finger on top of her chin. This interested her very much, and she wanted to put in her effort to find the culprit behind.

"Are you Minhyun Hyung's fated one?" A voice asked.

Hearing that, she raised her head and saw a man standing in front of her. The handsome man in front of her seemed to emit a lot of power, and Soohyun took him to be one of the Purebloods.

Soohyun did not know how, but currently, she had the power to discern within the different cla.s.ses of Red Clan. There was no clue within her on how she had done it; It was something that came to her naturally.

"Yes," Soohyun answered.

The Man, who seemed to be in his early twenties, flashed her a smile and vocalised, "Do you mind having a chat with me then, Sister-in-law? You must be bored at this moment since there is not exactly anyone to hang out at this moment."

Although the man sounded polite enough at this point, Soohyun knew that she would be considered naive to trust him, and even if there was no such orders from Minhyun, this was a matter of common sense.

"I am not exactly bored at this moment though. I just wanted to spend some time alone before heading to my room, and I think it's time for me to head in," Soohyun said before turning her back on the Man.

A chuckle left the Man's mouth, and before she could walk away from that place, the Man gripped her wrist. Abruptly, he pinned her hand to the wall, preventing her from leaving.

Raising one of her eyebrows, Soohyun asked, "What are you trying to do, Mister?"

Attacking a Pureblood straightforwardly will be considered reckless, and therefore, she had to look for a opening in order to make an attack on him to successfully escape.

"Nothing, Sister-in-law. It seems that you have misunderstood my intention; I just wanted to have a small conversation with you," The Man voiced out.

"Well, whatever this conversation is on, I am afraid that it has to wait since I desperately need to use the washroom now. It would not look good if I cause an accident here, right?" Soohyun vocalised.

Using washroom as an excuse was not creative, but it was truly effective. There was no way the man could come up with a retort for that.

Releasing the grip on Soohyun's wrist, the Man said, "Oh!"

Taking her head down, she rubbed on her wrist to get rid of the pain. Even though the marks don't remain, the ache still stays.

"I apologise for holding you back then, Sister-in-law. Let's have a conversation some time later then," He vocalised, "Remember my name, Sister-in-law; It is Lee Kw.a.n.gsoo."

After that, Kw.a.n.gsoo snapped his finger and disappeared into the thin air. Her eyes continued to stare at the place he stood at before starting to walk.

"What was with him?" She mumbled before continuing her walk, but it was great that she was able to avoid trouble for now. 

"You have met her?" Kim Dohyun questioned.

Seated within a room in a restaurant was two male— Kim Dohyun and Lee Kw.a.n.gsoo— and a slight smile was on Kw.a.n.gsoo's face.

Picking up the gla.s.s of alcohol in front of him, he nodded and drank down the content of the gla.s.s.

"She is not particularly strong, but she is somewhat smart. I think it would be quite easy for to take advantage of Minhyun Hyung by hurting her, and she does seem like his weakness," Kw.a.n.gsoo stated.

"I am not planning on hurting her," Dohyun said.

His words made Kw.a.n.gsoo's eyes wider, and he vocalised, "What? Are you really not planning to use her? This is surprising!"

At that moment, an amus.e.m.e.nt flashed through Kw.a.n.gsoo's eyes, and he let out a sigh before saying, "Too bad then! I thought you will be using her and was planning on taking part in some fun game. But that doesn't seem to be the case here sadly."

"I can defeat that Minhyun and win over him without hurting that pathetic fated one of his. Do not take me to be some weakling!" Dohyun voiced out.

Shrugging his shoulders, Kw.a.n.gsoo said, "Well, if you don't want to play the games, then I guess I will be playing them on my own. Let's see how this Sister-in-law of mine plays along."

Dohyun gave no reply to his words.

As Soohyun stepped into her room, she closed the door behind her and sneezed.

"Ais.h.!.+ Who is talking about me now?" She questioned.
