Revenge with the Power of the Final Boss-Chapter 94: Revenge Requires Mutual Aid (1)
"First, let me explain the looming threat to the world," Baek Seo-jun began, addressing Moriya Yuka and Kang Yu-ra.
He detailed the existence of the Fox That Devours Worlds—an otherworldly entity best described as a calamity—and the villains who worshipped it.
"Recently, these villains have started receiving power directly from the Fox. Their activities have grown increasingly suspicious and dangerous," he said.
"Park Hyung-tae is one of them. He, too, has likely become stronger after receiving power from the Fox," Baek Seo-jun explained.
Although the Fox’s interference made gathering detailed intelligence difficult, Baek Seo-jun was certain that Park Hyung-tae was among those who had received its power.
"And their target is Kangin Academy—more specifically, the five of you," he revealed.
Seomun Ye-jin, Han Se-hee, Lee Ha-yeon, Moriya Yuka, and Kang Yu-ra.
Baek Seo-jun shared that the villains had set their sights on them and played a video projection of an event from five years ago.
"Five years ago, Gye Un-jik hadn’t yet gained power from the Fox, but he was able to sense its signals. He kidnapped Ha-yeon and Se-hee to use them as sacrifices to hasten the Fox’s arrival."
Baek Seo-jun explained how he had thwarted the ritual, which would have brought the Fox to the world and caused the apocalypse.
He also recounted an earlier incident when So Kang-seok, an SSS-class villain who had tortured and kidnapped him, came under the Fox’s influence and nearly caused a large-scale disaster.
"Countless lives were almost lost because of that," Baek Seo-jun said.
Kang Yu-ra was visibly shaken, her face pale as she struggled to process the gravity of his words.
"This is terrifying. The world could end, and we wouldn’t even know it," Moriya Yuka murmured, her voice tinged with fear. The thought of dying unknowingly in such a catastrophic event sent chills down her spine.

"If the villains capture any of you, the world will face an unimaginable crisis," Baek Seo-jun continued, letting his presence ripple through the room.
"Guh!"
"Ah!"
The sheer force of his presence overwhelmed Moriya Yuka and Kang Yu-ra. It wasn’t just the aura of an SSS-class Hunter—this was something far beyond.
Even compared to the strongest Hunters or national-level powerhouses, Baek Seo-jun’s presence was on an entirely different plane.
The two women felt the crushing weight of his strength and realized that if he ever chose to turn against the world, it wouldn’t stand a chance.
‘It’s almost miraculous that someone like him hasn’t become a villain,’ Moriya Yuka thought, her heart pounding with disbelief.
"Park Hyung-tae will come for me too, won’t he?" Kang Yu-ra asked, seeking confirmation.
"He will. Without a doubt," Baek Seo-jun affirmed.
"Then... when the time comes, please make it so I can defeat Park Hyung-tae myself," she said, standing abruptly. She dropped to her knees in front of him, her silver hair cascading to the floor.
"You don’t need to kneel," Baek Seo-jun said, his tone firm. "Just sit comfortably."
"No. I owe you my life and my future," Yu-ra replied, bowing deeply until her head nearly touched the ground.
"According to what you’ve said, both Yuka and I are targets. If you don’t protect us, we’re doomed, aren’t we?"
"Not exactly doomed," Baek Seo-jun corrected. "To entities like the Fox, you’re considered treasures. Your bodies and souls would become eternal collections. The Fox would integrate your soul into its essence while preserving your physical beauty as an artifact."
The implication that death would be preferable left an eerie silence in the room.
"Yu-ra, there’s one more thing you should know," Baek Seo-jun continued.
"What is it?"
"It’s about your mother, Yoon Ji-hye," he said.
At the mention of her mother, Kang Yu-ra clenched her fists. The thought of her mother’s corpse being defiled by Park Hyung-tae filled her with rage.
"From what I’ve uncovered, Park Hyung-tae had an unhealthy obsession with your mother. He’s kept her body preserved, attempting to revive her repeatedly."
"...I see," Yu-ra replied, her voice trembling with anger. Her resolve for revenge burned even brighter.
To Yu-ra, Baek Seo-jun wasn’t just an SSS-class Hunter or the headmaster of Kangin Academy. He was a figure of salvation—her only hope for justice.
Having seen his power firsthand, she had no doubt about the truth of his words. If he had any malicious intent, she realized, the world would already be beyond saving.
‘Someone with his power has no reason to lie.’
Moriya Yuka, who had been watching silently, stood up.
"Baek Seo-jun, may I ask you something?"
"If it’s something I can answer, ask away," he replied.
"Thank you. My question is... is my family, the Moriya clan, safe?"
Her voice carried deep concern. Unlike Kang Yu-ra, whose family was gone, Yuka still had her relatives in Japan.
Even though the Moriya clan was Japan’s strongest Hunter family, the thought of SSS-class villains empowered by the Fox attacking them worried her deeply.
"Do you want an honest answer?" Baek Seo-jun asked.
"Yes."
"As of now, there’s no movement targeting the Moriya clan. They might be avoiding my surveillance, but I’ve been keeping an eye on your family."
"That’s... somewhat reassuring," Yuka said, though her expression remained uneasy.
"どうすればいいの?" (What should I do?)
She realized her situation might be even more desperate than Yu-ra’s. If the villains were after her, they would surely target her family to get to her.
"Villains are focusing on Kangin Academy for now, so the Moriya clan should be safe," Baek Seo-jun explained.
"But if they fail here, they might shift their attention to your family," he added.
"I’ll monitor the situation. Does that help ease your worries?"
"Yes... but why are you going to such lengths to protect us?" Yuka asked.
Baek Seo-jun gave a faint smile. "While part of it is practical—I can’t let you fall into the Fox’s hands—I also need your help."
"My help?"
"Yes," he said, his eyes glinting with cold determination.
"I want you to help me with my revenge."
As he spoke, his gaze seemed to pierce through the walls, as though staring directly at Baek Seo-jin, who lingered outside the room.
"Just like my wives, I want you to stand by my side in this."
