Lee Yongsun grinned as he opened his mouth, "I wonder how could a normal human have a familiar spirit?" he asked with his eyes darted at Pupa.

At first, Pupa ignored Lee Yongsun's because it thought Lee Yongsun talked about random stuff since Pupa was invisible to everyone except Yunyu. Pupa continued reading the background story in case it missed something in Lee Yongsun's character.

Lee Yongsun kept staring at Pupa, and then started he asked, "Are you Kim Haneul's familiar?"

Pupa finally noticed the stare. He shifted his attention at Lee Yongsun and was surprised when Lee Yongsun's eyes could pinpoint its location precisely. Pupa tried to move away a bit, but Lee Yongsun's eyes followed its movement.

"Y—You can see me?" Pupa asked carefully.

Lee Yongsun grinned and replied, "Of course, you are Kim Haneul's familiar spirit, right? Kim Haneul is now bound by a contract with me. I am the owner of his body now, including everything about him. So it is natural for me to know about his secrets, such as the fact that he has a familiar spirit of some sort and the fact that he is a human from an unknown place. Although there is some stuff I cannot read at all, I am sure that you are his familiar that brings him here."

"Though, I must say that Kim Haneul has a strange familiar. What animal do you resemble anyway? You are a strange floating orange thing."

Pupa almost short-circuited the moment Lee Yongsun said he knew nearly everything about Yunyu. But fortunately, it didn't seem that Lee Yongsun could read Yunyu's real identity and his secret of transmigration.

But this was too scary and dangerous. Pupa didn't want to risk getting captured by Lee Yongsun. It was no problem if Yunyu died here because Pupa could automatically restart anyway. But if Pupa got completely destroyed, nothing could be done, and Yunyu would get stuck in this world forever.

Pupa hurriedly opened a portal to escape first before thinking about how to solve the problem. But before Pupa could escape, Lee Yongsun used his devil hand and grabbed Pupa's body. Lee Yongsun dragged Pupa to his side. Though Pupa tried hard to struggle, it was no match against the devil himself.

Lee Yongsun grabbed Pupa and started to inspect Pupa's metallic body. "Hm, are you some sort of advanced machine? Because I have never seen someone to own a metallic familiar spirit like this."

Lee Yongsun caressed Pupa's metallic body to inspect more.

"Kyah~ I—I mean, sexual harassment! This is sexual harassment!" Pupa yelled. Lee Yongsun was nonchalant with Pupa's complaint. Pupa was afraid that Lee Yongsun might destroy its body for real. Thus, it did the same thing that he did when those nano bugs from world seven.

Pupa severed its invisible bond with Yunyu and escaped with emergency action.

            Pop!

Pupa vanished from the world like thin air. Lee Yongsun was a bit surprised. He didn't know a familiar could separate itself from its master. But that familiar was not important. The most important thing was that Kim Haneul was in his hand. This wonderful, tasty feast full of sin in his heart was in his hand.

And he couldn't wait to explore everything. Lee Yongsun caressed Kim Haneul's cheek, and he laughed, "You can be my good food once I see the desperation, fear, and hopelessness in you. Like a demon flower in your heart, it is better when it blooms beautifully."

  "And I will make you bloom beautifully with shattered heart, Kim Haneul, hahahahaha!" Lee Yongsun's low laugh echoed around the room.

Pupa was busy in the headquarter, trying to find a way to help Yunyu, who was stuck and had no clue in that world. This situation was also not as easy as it looked like, unlike in the seventh world where Pupa could just sever its connection with Yunyu and return after the nano bugs had been cleared.

If Pupa returned now, Lee Yongsun could still see and caught it. Pupa calculated the risk and determined it was not the right move if it returned to that world for now. What it could do was just giving Yunyu a message until Yunyu could finish the world by filling the Breakmeter.

Since the mission in this world was fairly simple, Pupa wrote a text for Yunyu.

'Win Daebak Award to escape.'

Han opened his eyes. He felt like he had been sleeping for a while right now, and his body was very weak. His eyes looked around, trying to determine his location. He saw a high ceiling with a beautiful chandelier hanging on top of him. A room with cigarette smell that made him nauseous.

"So you're finally awake," Lee Yongsun said. Han's eyes immediately darted at the man who sat on the sofa in front of him. Han tensed immediately. He tried hard to get up from his position.

Lee Yongsun laughed and flicked his fingers. Magically, Han regained all his strength, as if everything was just an illusion, including Lee Yongsun as the devil.

Han watched at Lee Yongsun worriedly, afraid that he might get killed or tortured if he did something wrong.

"What are you scared of? I haven't done anything to you," Lee Yongsun said with a grin. He lit up a cigarette with the fire that appeared from his index finger. "You do understand that you are now under my contract, right?"

"Y—Yes, Mr. Lee…" Han nodded, but he hesitated and asked. "What should I do next, Mr. Lee?"

"I don't need you to do anything, at least, not yet," Lee Yongsun said. "All you need to do is to resume your life, as usual, perform a lot, and I will help you with your group."

Han was not a kid who would believe Lee Yongsun's words easily. He asked, "T—Then, how about my friend, Im Jaehwa, will he be okay?"

Lee Yongsun had a mysterious smile on his face before he replied, "As long as you obey everything that I said, then Im Jaehwa is safe from any harm. I will make sure that he will have a successful solo career as well."

"But remember, his life is in your hand. If you dare to disobey me, then I will make sure that he will suffer the worst fate imaginable."

Haneul gulped out of fear. Lee Yongsun was a true devil. He intentionally bound his and Jay's fate together in misery, so he could reap the pain in them. So this was what happened when you had a contract with the devil.

Only the devil would win, while you only danced on his hand, according to his command.

"You may leave now," Lee Yongsun said.

Han hurriedly left Lee Yongsun's room. Staying with Lee Yongsun for too long made him unable to think straight.

Lee Yongsun watched the door that had been closed. He leaned on the sofa while puffing out the smoke from his mouth. He chuckled to his amusement, "You're dancing with me, Kim Haneul. I will make sure you will return to me full of sin and full of grief. And then… you will give your body to me willingly, what a great feast awaits me."
