The Devouring Genius of a Destroyed World

Midday, the same day Seongho had breakfast with Jang Hyungsoo.

At Hongik University, a welcoming party for the new Awakened was held in one of the campus cafes. It was a genuine party, complete with luxurious sofas, elegant electric heaters, warm beverages, and even alcohol.

People gathered in small groups, chatting and mingling. As time passed, Oh Jonghyuk, seated on the largest sofa, stood up and addressed the room.

“Let’s not waste time. Let’s get started,” he said, pointing toward Seongho’s group.

“These are the people joining our camp. Want to introduce yourselves?”

Seongho and Im Chan kept it brief.

“I’m Han Seongho.”
“I’m Im Chan. This is my daughter, Im Jiho.”

When both men spoke little beyond their names, Oh Jonghyuk chuckled in disbelief.@@novelbin@@

Seongho took the chance to ask, “Are all the Awakened here?”

“Yeah, you’re lucky. The ones out hunting came back just in time,” Jonghyuk replied.

He was right. If anyone had been missing, they might have had to hunt them down.

As Seongho silently marveled at his luck, Jonghyuk turned to the gathered group and said, “Anyway, this is just for everyone to get to know each other. Eat, drink, and relax.”

The moment Jonghyuk sat back down, a woman staggered toward Seongho.

“Hehe, hi there, new oppa!”

It was Yeom Miju, visibly drunk, her cheeks flushed and her balance unsteady.

Clicking his tongue, Jonghyuk muttered, “That drunkard... How much has she had to drink already?”

“I’m not drunk! Hic! Hi, professor!”

Jonghyuk shook his head and gestured dismissively. “Someone get her out of here.”
