Chapter 21 - Empty Boardroom

(Kaitlyn bows her head and apologizes.)

KAITLYN

I'm… terribly sorry… I don't know what was going on in my head… [I can't believe I touched… his groin.]

GUWON

It's okay. You didn't have any evil intention. And you're really cute when you get flustered.

KAITLYN

Ehhhh!

(Her face turns red as she turns away and places her hands on her face.)

KAITLYN

[Did… he just call me cute? This handsome hottie just called me hot… My heart is beating so fast.]

(Thump! Thump! Thump!)

GUWON

Hey, I didn't catch your name.

KAITLYN

It's Kaitlyn.

GUWON

Kaitlyn huh. I'm Kim Guwon.

KAITLYN

Excuse me?

GUWON

What?

KAITLYN

You can't be serious… You're Kim Guwon. The handsome Chief of Legion that has The Emperor's Eye. And being nicknamed the Demonic Emperor.

GUWON

Yes, that's me.

KAITLYN

Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!

(She jumps up and down.)

GUWON

Are you okay? [Is this Ginger head gone crazy?]

KAITLYN

I'm fine. It's just that I'm your biggest fan.

GUWON

What? Do I look like a celebrity to you?

KAITLYN

Are you kidding me? You're from one of the 4 Great Families. Of course… we common folk treat you like celebs. And you're always on the front cover of the magazine. The one who brands women to be his sex slaves… the enemy of all married men. Make sure you hide your wives from this man because once he issues a command on you using his Emperor's Eye, there's no turning back. He's also known as the Demonic Emperor…

GUWON

Okay. That is enough. I never knew social media would describe me that way. [I never bother to look at social media because it's a waste of time.] So, you joined Legion just to see me.

KAITLYN

I uh…

(Guwon smirks.)

GUWON

That is cute.

KAITLYN

CORRUPTORS

Pussy… give me pussy.

(One of the corruptors throws a hardened skin spike at Kaitlyn. Guwon brings her close to his chest and grabs the spike with his hand.)

GUWON

Careful. You don't want to harm a defenseless woman.

KAITLYN

…!

(She sniffs him.)

KAITLYN

[He smells so good.]

GUWON

Allow me to deal with the Corruptors, and then you can show me where the office is. Okay?

KAITLYN

Sure. Wait… I can't go up there. There are so many Corruptors up there. I don't want to die.

GUWON

Don't worry. I'll protect you…

(Bloody red aura surrounds him.)

GUWON

…Because I am strong.

(He walks towards the corruptors.)

CORRUPTORS

Pussy… Pussy…

GUWON

Hai! Hai! Hai! I hear you, my fellow Corruptors who once worked for me as humans. I'll give you pussy in the afterlife.

(He conjured daggers made of blood and blitzed through the Corruptors, slashing them all down.)

KAITLYN

He's fast!

GUWON

See, am I strong or what?

KAITLYN

Yeah… sure. [He's so cool. Not like Feeler and Brutus.]

[Kaitlyn has fallen for you.]

GUWON

Eh?! Then, this makes things interesting. Another baddie to add to my collection.

(He grins.)

KAITLYN

What are you grinning for?

GUWON

It's nothing. Let's get moving. You'll have to show me where the office is.

KAITLYN

Ah… okay.

(She walks past the Corruptors' dead bodies looking disgusted.)

KAITLYN

Gross.

(Later as they move up the stairs.)

GUWON

Blood spears!

(Guwon conjures spears made of blood and hurls them at the Corruptors.)

KAITLYN

How comes a Chief like you do not know where your office is?

GUWON

Because I've never been to this building. This building once belonged to my father.

KAITLYN

I see. And then you inherited it…

GUWON

I only succeeded my father as Chief of Legion not the building. That's why I'm going to tear it down and start my own Legion.

KAITLYN

I don't know what you mean by that… but how will I get my salary.

GUWON

You figure that out on your own.

KAITLYN

Huh?! [Is he a jerk?]

(He gets rid of the corruptors.)

KAITLYN

Is this also your Awakening ability? Where you conjure blood out of thin air.

GUWON

Yeah. Blood Manipulation is my ability. And I'm not an Awakener but an Ascender.

(He claps one Corruptor's head and smashes it to pieces.)

KAITLYN

You're strong…

GUWON

I know.

(He opens the door to the top most floor.)

GUWON

Guess who's back Directors… your Chief is back! And I'm here to punish you all for doing a lousy job!

(The Board room is empty.)

GUWON

Where did everyone go?!
