Trapped in a Webnovel as a Good-For-Nothing

Chapter 89



Chapter 89

What made Jin Yu-Ri even angrier was that she couldnt get revenge since the target, Bomber, was already dead. She couldnt express her resentment through any outlet, and no other methods to destress came up.

Just as Jenny lightly patted Yu-Ris back with a worried face and tried to comfort her...

"Jin Yu-Ri, you're outside, right? Come in."

The voice of Yu-Seong, who had been asleep in the room, rang out. Hearing him, Jin Yu-Ri grabbed the door handle while trying to look as bright as possible.

"Jenny." Yu-Ri then grabbed Jenny who was about to leave and gestured to the closed hospital room door with her chin. She said, "Let's go in together and say hello to the boss."

"...Okay," said Jenny before entering the hospital room together with Yu-Ri.

Yu-Seong was vaguely aware of the fact that there was another person next to Jin Yu-Ri. Looking more calm than surprised, he looked at Jenny, who was wearing a hood.

Jenny took off her hood and lowered her head, looking at Yu-Seong with her shiny blue eyes.

"This is Jenny," said Yu-Ri.

At Jin Yu-Ri's introduction, Yu-Seong nodded. He had already guessed who the other woman was. He said, "Great. I have something I want to tell you, itll be better for you two to listen to it together. Its a very important thing.

"Go ahead," replied Jin Yu-Ri.

"About Jin Do-Yoon's foot. Ive thought of a person who can regenerate it."

"...What?"

"Boss?"

Jin Yu-Ri and Jenny widened their eyes. Their reaction was so alike that one might think they were sisters.

You werent thinking of having Do-Yoon retire like this, were you? Yu-Seong asked.

"Certainly not, but who could ever... "

It wasnt like Jin Yu-Ri hadnt also been thinking of a way. In fact, she had thought of using a Psychic-type player with a strong and powerful healing ability dozens of times all night.

However, it was impossible. If the cut was neat or clean, there were some people who could reattach the limb, but no one could ever regenerate a body part that had been obliterated like that. No matter how powerful their healing ability was, it was impossible to save body parts that had disappeared without a trace.

However, was it because Yu-Seong had started the conversation? A name passed through Jin Yu-Ri's mind. She knew that there was, in fact, a person with such abilities. The only person on the planet who could do such a thing.

Jenny was listening to the story next to Yu-Ri and muttered in a low voice, as if she thought of the same person, "...The Miraculous Alchemist."

"Helen Mirren," Yu-Ri finished.

Yu-Seong nodded slightly when he heard them.

"No way," Jin Yu-Ri then said with a determined refusal.

From Jin Yu-Ri's point of view, this was about her brother. When she had heard that Do-Yoon had lost his ankle and it was impossible for him to make a comeback as a hunter, she had thought about more ways than anyone else. Moreover, Helen Mirren, the Miraculous Alchemist, had indeed passed through her mind at that time.

Helen Mirren's ability was far more powerful than the average alchemist's ability. She could do everything but revive the dead. Even if she couldnt revive a person, she could use the dead body to create new life, and she could turn ordinary stone into gold.

Since she had such a powerful skill, Helen Mirren would definitely be able to regenerate a missing foot. However, Jin Yu-Ri had no choice but to erase the name Helen Mirren from her head with a bitter smile.

Other than Miraculous Alchemist, Helen Mirren had another nicknameSeductive Demon.

As an S-rank hunter, Helen Mirren had a specialized skill that allowed her to perform amazing feats, the likes of which could only be called miracles. However, as could be seen from the nickname alchemist, the basis on which she worked was an unconditional equivalent exchange. To receive something, one had to give another thing up.

In a way, it was an honest exchange, but Helen Mirren always asked for a greater price than what the other person wanted. It was like the deal of Mephistopheles, the devil in Goethe's famous novel, Faust.

Like the devil tempting Faust with his youth in exchange for his soul, Helen Mirren's alchemy required an unimaginable price, so no one was happy with her dealings. After a short enjoyable time, the abyss of despair would surely come. That was generally how things went with Helen Mirren.

"Never. A deal with her will only bring destruction."

Therefore, Jin Yu-Ri firmly expressed her will once again by looking right at Yu-Seong.

"You know, money can't buy her alchemy. Helen Mirren's alchemy is just killing five to save one. At least one person would have to die if you want a normal person to recover. As for a hunter with a strong body like my brother, we might need more than a few dozen people."

No one here, even Do-Yoon himself, would want to regenerate his ankle by committing such a massacre.

"Of course, there is a way, said Yu-Seong.

"If you're going to sacrifice yourself, I disagree with that, too. I'd rather... " said Yu-Ri.

"I know where the Philosopher's Stone is."

Yu-Ri immediately couldnt continue speaking. She was so surprised that her eyes widened to the point of falling out of their sockets.

Jenny was just watching the situation without saying anything, but she was also surprised. She then asked, "...Boss, do you have the Philosopher's Stone?

Yu-Seong shook his head at Jennys question. He clarified, "I said I knew where it was, I didn't say I had it."

Yu-Ri flinched greatly. It now seemed clear why Yu-Seong had confidently said that there was a way. It was because there was a declaration made by Helen Mirren herself in public.

~

- If you know about the Philosopher's Stone, or if you have it, I promise you a single unconditional miracle for you. Even if you are a demon who is trying to destroy the world, I still want the Philosopher's Stone.

~

There had been a lot of public anger and outrage after Helen Mirrens quite provocative declaration. However, it was also true that the rich and powerful hunters all over the world had gone out looking for the Philosopher's Stone.

'It was seven years ago that Helen Mirren declared the search for the Philosopher's Stone.'

But until now, the Philosopher's Stone had not appeared. Of course, there were many people who had tried to deceive Helen Mirren with a fake Philosopher's Stone. In the end, all of them had been cursed by her and lived the rest of their lives like hell.

"Are you sure about your information?" asked Yu-Ri again.

It was not because Yu-Ri didnt trust Yu-Seong, but this was a deal with an S-rank hunter who was pretty much in an absolute position at this point. Helen Mirren was even known to be one of the highest-level figures among the existing S-rankers. If Yu-Seong was mistaken, something could happen to him that he couldnt handle.

"Yes, I'm sure."

Even though much had changed from the original novel, it was extremely unlikely that the butterfly effect would have changed the position of the Philosopher's Stone. It was not for no reason that all of those famous powerful, wealthy, and talented hunters, including Helen Mirren herself, had never even found a clue about it thus far.

In addition, even if the Philosopher's Stone was moved to a different place from the original novel, Yu-Seong had a plan B. This was possible because Yu-Seong himself knew the exact reason why Helen Mirren was looking for the Philosopher's Stone.

Nevertheless, Jin Yu-Ri continued to agonize. If Yu-Seong was the only person who knew the location of the Philosopher's Stone, then was it right for him to use such privilege to save Do-Yoon's ankle? Of course, she was extremely eager to do so, but what bothered her was that there were so many things he could get from Helen Mirren in exchange for the Philosopher's Stone.

Yu-Seong fully guessed Yu-Ris concerns and said with a smile, "Jin Yu-Ri, you don't have to worry. There's only one thing that matters. Do-Yoon sacrificed himself to protect me and got seriously injured. And in the future, Do-Yoon will always be by my side. Isn't a miracle supposed to be used for someone I hold dear in the first place?"

"I also greatly agree with the boss' words. Yu-Ri, miracles are always used to help people, said Jenny.

After Yu-Seong and Jennys encouragement, Yu-Ri finally shed tears with red eyes. She said, "Thank you...really Thank you so much."

Yu-Seong looked awkward as he scratched his cheek while looking at Yu-Ri who had burst into tears. Jenny, who was next to Yu-Ri, patted her back without saying a word.

Originally, Kim Do-Jin should have used the Philosopher's Stone but

Before, Yu-Seong resolved not to touch the characters and objects that would play an important role for Kim Do-Jin in the original novel as much as possible, but this was an exception.

Kim Do-Jin, Ill just take that one thingthe Philosopher's Stone'

Yu-Seong had already made a decision.

***

Even though he knew the location of the Philosopher's Stone's stone, that didnt mean that Yu-Seong could immediately summon Helen Mirren. She enjoyed being alone quite a bit, and loved the darkness and dungeons. Once in the dungeon, it was quite common for her not to show up on Earth for months, so Yu-Seong and Yu-Ri decided to wait patiently first. A week passed quickly after that.

In the meantime, Choi Byung-Chan's funeral was held with Choi Woo-Jae and other immediate family members. Other siblings also tried to participate in the ceremony, but Choi Byung-Chan's mother and immediate family refused. Yu-Seong also called Choi Woo-Jae thinking that he should still visit, however he was told to focus on the match against Bernard Yoo immediately after the situation was over.

Anyway, after one week passed, Yu-Seong and Yu-Ri completely recovered their best form at a rapid pace like hunters usually did and visited Do-Yoon to explain the situation.

"...That's what happened. If we spread rumors that we know the location of the Philosopher's Stone, we could meet Helen Mirren sooner. However, there will be a lot of disturbance."

As mentioned, Helen Mirren was not the only one aiming for the Philosopher's Stone. Everyone who wanted a miracle of hers was looking for the Philosopher's Stone. After hearing all of their explanations, Do-Yoons reaction was not much different from that of Jin Yu-Ri.

"I'm okay. When you really need a miracle said Do-Yoon.

The moment is now," said Yu-Seong.

"But..."

"Jin Do-Yoon, I don't want to listen to your objection. This is already decided, and I don't want to go back on it."

"...Young master."

So don't despair, and be prepared to return to my side whenever you're done with treatment. You can enjoy your vacation until then. Its been a while since youve come by my side..."

For a moment, Yu-Seong's head throbbed. He thought of a memory of when he had been six years old before even entering elementary school. Right in front of him had been a dirty boy crying with his sister in his arms.
