Breaking Up with the Heroine of the Female-Oriented Game - Chapter 73
Chapter 73
Awakening (4)
“What are you?”
Seong Yura’s brows furrowed slightly.
T his w a s co pi e d fro m ki ngmt l. o r g
It was no wonder—Jin Soyeon had just done something unbelievable. After a few moments of struggling, she had grabbed the restraints with her bare hands and crushed them to pieces.
It was as if she had smashed the restraints like a toy handcuff bought from a stationery store. It was an absurd scene.
“How did you do that?”
These restraints were designed to hold even professional heroes.
They were built with extreme durability and binding power, specifically to immobilize the limbs of active heroes.
There’s no way someone like Jin Soyeon could break them so easily.
Of course, if someone possessed a powerful ability, the story might be different.
For example, with Ryan Jones’s ability, breaking these restraints wouldn’t be a difficult task.
But Jin Soyeon wasn’t like that.
As far as Seong Yura knew, Jin Soyeon’s ability wasn’t of that kind.
She knew Jin Soyeon had a buff-type ability.
An ability that could slightly enhance or weaken objects in contact with her body.
In simple terms, it could make a blade slightly sharper or duller, or make a shield a bit sturdier or more fragile, and so on.
It had some versatility, but the effect wasn’t particularly impressive.
At least, it wasn’t something Seong Yura would have considered a threat.
So how did she break those restraints?
There was no way Jin Soyeon’s ability could destroy them.
“Seong Yura…!”
“……”
Jin Soyeon’s voice dripped with palpable anger as she called out Seong Yura’s name.
Her golden eyes, which used to sparkle like stars, were now filled with intense resentment and hatred as they glared at Seong Yura.
The sheer killing intent was so overwhelming that Seong Yura instinctively took a step back.
It wasn’t that she was frightened. It was more of an instinctual reaction, as if the aura around Jin Soyeon was reminiscent of Yoo Dahee, making her uneasy.
She had never realized it before, since Jin Soyeon was always smiling, but now, with her face twisted in fury, she looked eerily like Yoo Dahee.
As Jin Soyeon began to approach step by step, Seong Yura clicked her tongue slightly.
She seemed too agitated to listen to reason.
I’ll have to restrain her first.
“Hey, you guys, what are you standing around for? Get her under control, now!”
“……Yes, ma’am!”
At Seong Yura’s command, her subordinates quickly drew their weapons.
There were four of them in total.
All of them were as skilled as active heroes, so they should be more than capable of subduing someone like Jin Soyeon.
After all, didn’t she get captured by a few villains before?
Seong Yura didn’t know how she had broken the restraints, but she believed that this level of force would be more than sufficient.
Th i s w as c op i ed f ro m k ing m t l . o r g
At least, that’s what she thought until they actually clashed with the enraged Jin Soyeon.

‘The mansion seems unusually noisy. There are also fewer guards than I expected. Ugh. It’s hard to sense presences or mana flows in this mansion, so I can’t be certain.’
We successfully sneaked into Seong Yura’s study using a secret passage.
Th is wa s c op i e d f r o m ki n g m tl . o r g
There were a few instances where we encountered villains, but Lee Siwoon’s bodyguards swiftly neutralized them, allowing us to reach the study safely.
As expected from Lee Siwoon’s professional bodyguards.
Each of them was highly skilled—truly fitting for the bodyguards of a large corporation.
The church members Roxanne brought along were also excellent in support, helping to subdue and knock out the villains.
In the game, we had to conquer this mansion solely with the protagonist’s party, which was incredibly challenging, but with the help of professionals, it was much easier.
If we hadn’t had their help, we wouldn’t have made it to the study without being discovered.
The path to the study was treacherous.
The security was tight, with surveillance systems and CCTV cameras everywhere.
This was because something very important was hidden in this study.
‘Let’s see… it should be here… here it is…’
I carefully retraced my memory and touched the books on the shelf in the correct order, revealing a hidden safe that slowly emerged with a rumble.
I quickly entered the combination and opened the safe.
Inside were Seong Yura’s secret ledger and various incriminating items related to key figures in politics, business, and entertainment.
“It really was here. Honestly, when you first mentioned it, I had my doubts.”
“I can’t believe she hid things like this in a study.”
T hi s w as c o p i e d f r o m k i n g mtl . o r g
Lee Siwoon and Roxanne looked on with a mix of admiration and disbelief.
When I first mentioned the location of the secret ledger and the combination, they had given me suspicious looks, as if wondering, ‘How do you know all this?’
T h i s w a s c o p i e d f r o m ki n gm t l .o r g
It wasn’t easy to convince them to follow me to the study without revealing the source of my information.
But after I demonstrated my knowledge by finding the secret passage, and with Yoo Seolhyun backing me up, they reluctantly agreed to come this far.
“The source of your information was highly dubious, but it seems it was worth the risk.”
Lee Siwoon looked at me quietly.
His gaze was filled with suspicion about how I knew all this, but given the situation with Jin Soyeon being held captive, he didn’t press the matter.
He probably didn’t have the luxury to be concerned with trivial matters right now.
Everyone else? Well, as long as Lee Siwoon and Roxanne agreed, they would go along with it without question.
T h i s w as c opi ed f ro m k i ng m tl . o r g
“Alright then, Lee Jinhyuk. Report to Yoo Seolhyun that we’ve secured the evidence.”
“Yeah, got it.”
I took photos of the various pieces of evidence and the secret ledger and sent them to Yoo Seolhyun.
It would have been best to deliver them in person, but given the time constraints, we decided to send the photos to let her know we had secured the evidence.
We could have sent someone back with the evidence, but I didn’t want to waste any manpower now that we had come this far.
A moment later.
Yoo Seolhyun sent an OK signal.
Oh, nice. I thought she might reject it because they were just photos, but thankfully, she wasn’t that strict.
Yoo Seolhyun sent another message.
– I’ll send the clan members in when you give the signal.
– Get them ready. I’ll send the signal in about five minutes.
– Five minutes?
– Yeah.
There’s no point in dragging this out any longer.
We’re already close to Seong Yura’s bedroom.
Part of me wanted Yoo Seolhyun’s clan members to storm in right away to divide the enemy’s forces, but if we acted too hastily, Jin Soyeon’s life could be endangered.
After all, Jin Soyeon’s life was being held as leverage.
So, it would be best to secure Jin Soyeon’s safety first and then have Gaon Nuri’s clan members cause a distraction.
That way, we could prevent Seong Yura’s reinforcements from swarming us all at once.
“In about five minutes, I’ll send the signal for Yoo Seolhyun’s clan members to create a distraction, and then we’ll storm Seong Yura’s room.”
Jin Soyeon was in Seong Yura’s room.
Thanks to the high-quality tracking device bought at a premium, we were able to pinpoint Jin Soyeon’s exact location.
“Everyone, remember. As I mentioned earlier, our top priority is securing Soyeon and Seong Yura. There’s likely to be strong guards nearby, so we need to act quickly.”
“Yes.”
“There could be villains on par with top-ranked heroes.”
Seong Yura’s key assets, James and Beom Taegyung.
Th i s w a s c o p ied f ro m k i n g mt l. o r g
These two could be considered Seong Yura’s right and left hands.
Both possessed powerful abilities, and according to their character settings, they could display top-ranked hero-level skills for a short time.
In the game, when these two were together, it was incredibly difficult to take them down, so you had to fight them separately.
Even when the protagonist’s party was fairly advanced, charging in recklessly would only lead to severe injuries.
‘The good news is that Beom Taegyung is probably at the abandoned building.’
According to what Roxanne said, Seong Yura was under the impression that I was extremely strong.
And, knowing Seong Yura’s personality, she likely stationed at least one powerful asset somewhere as a precaution, in case I didn’t come alone.
At least, that’s the Seong Yura I know.
‘Even if Beom Taegyung isn’t here, there’s still the monster that is James.’
None of us here are on par with a top-ranked hero.
That means it would be difficult to handle James in a one-on-one fight.
Of course, we have people like Seong Doha and some mid- to high-tier guards, so we should be able to put up a decent fight.
Moreover, since James controls shadows, he’s vulnerable to strong light.
If we use flashbangs that emit a powerful light, we might be able to keep him in check long enough to capture Soyeon and Seong Yura.
There would likely be other guards in Seong Yura’s room besides James, but we’d have to deal with them as best we could.
As long as we could temporarily neutralize the most dangerous person, James, that would be enough.
Because once we capture the queen, the game is over.
As long as we capture Seong Yura.
“Alright, let’s go.”
We slowly moved toward the vicinity of Seong Yura’s room.
I expected to find more guards around the room, but the area right outside Seong Yura’s door was completely empty.
T hi s w a s c o p ied f r o m k in gmtl . o r g
“The room seems pretty noisy. I can sense some mana fluctuations as well.”
“Ah, yes. You’re right.”
I nodded at Seong Doha’s observation.
The soundproofing was good, so it wasn’t too loud, but now that we were close, it was clear that something was happening inside Seong Yura’s room.
What’s going on in there?
“…Anyway, let’s get ready to move in. I’ll open the door and toss in a flashbang, and then we’ll charge in.”
“Yes, that sounds good.”
“Is everyone ready?”
I gave everyone a final check.
Lee Siwoon and Roxanne nodded firmly, indicating they were ready, and the other bodyguards and church members had their weapons drawn, prepared for battle.
“Alright then…”
I immediately sent the signal to Yoo Seolhyun.
T hi s w as c o p ie d f ro m k i n g m t l . o r g
And then, a loud explosion echoed through the mansion.
The windows rattled, and the reverberations were strong enough to make my shoulders shake. It seemed like they were trying to make a serious commotion.
Are they launching a bombardment or something? What are they doing out there?
“Alright, let’s move in…”
“Agh! Seriously, can’t you even get that girl under control? What are you doing?!”
Suddenly, the door burst open, and a woman stormed out.
“This is so frustrating. Hey, you guys! I’m heading to the study, so make sure you capture her properly and bring her along! Got it…?”
Seong Yura blinked in surprise as she saw us standing just outside the door, weapons ready.
Th is wa s c o p i e d fr o m k i n g m t l .or g
Her expression was one of utter disbelief.
“…Huh, huh?”
Oh, we made eye contact.
Seong Yura recoiled in shock and screamed.
“Wh-Why are you still alive?!”
?
