Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!

As the distance closed between them, the vehicles seemed to have noticed him and quickly pushed the brakes as they all halted at the same time, barely a dozen meters away from him.

Then, the entire place went completely silent. Talon stared into the windows of the vehicles trying to see who was inside. But, since they were shaded windows, he couldn\'t see who was inside clearly.

Seconds passed with no movement on their side and it made Talon even more suspicious.

"Get out of the cars, I\'m not here to fight. Let\'s talk." He finally spoke with a clear and cold tone. "You have 10 seconds. If you don\'t come out in that period of time. I\'m going to consider that a threat and I\'m going to eliminate you all."

With that, Talon pulled his spear out of his storage and he slowly drew it in front of the cars as a clear sign that he wasn\'t joking or messing around.

Almost two seconds later, one of the doors of one of the vehicles opened as someone stepped down from the car. Talon saw a glimpse of their feet and he could notice that it was a woman.

Then, the door was closed, revealing the woman\'s full appearance. She had very distinct blonde hair that almost seemed like it was shining, her eyes were a beautiful dark grey that carried endless confidence. Even without looking at her, Talon could feel her aura with ease.

She was one of the most gorgeous women he had ever seen, up there with Hyun-Jae even with how drastically different their vibes were.

But, all of those thoughts vanished the next instant as his eyes widened. His body froze for a second as he immediately recognized that face. And how could he not? It was far too unique to be something he could forget, even after years of not seeing it.

As he looked at her silently, the girl moved toward him in careful steps. Eventually, she ended up barely a few inches away from him.

"Sophie… Is that you?" Shaking his head, he asked her in disbelief.

The moment he uttered her name, he noticed how her body flinched for a moment before she looked up with a wide smile, her beautiful eyes glistening with tears.

"You recognized me?"

"... A few years doesn\'t change a person that much," Talon replied.

"I thought I changed too much. But, you know me too well. You also changed a lot yourself… You look a lot more handsome than before… Did you change your skincare routine?" She asked as she gave him a closer look.

"Hahaha, what the hell is that? I never use that stuff. You know me." He replied with a chuckle.

"Pfft, the only time you did, I ended up making your face glistening like a mirror." She chuckled as she wiped her eyes.

As the two laughed like that, Sophie then looked up as she smiled brightly. "I missed you, Talon!"

Then, she jumped on him as she wrapped her arms around his neck tightly. "I really missed you!"

The latter was surprised for a moment before he smiled slightly and gave her a friendly hug. A few seconds later, he pulled her away, only to realize that another person had approached them.

Hyun-Jae came down from the building the moment she noticed how odd Talon was acting. Then, she saw how the girl hugged him and her aura immediately dropped a few degrees in temperature.

"Oh, Hyun-Jae."

"Who is she?" She asked as she gave the girl a side glance.

"This is Sophie… Uuuh, an old acquaintance of mine." He replied.

"What? Since when did I become an \'Old Acquaintance\'? Well, ehem, hello, I\'m Sophie Jones. Me and Talon dated for a while back in high school." She smiled.

Hearing the last part, Hyun-Jae\'s eyes turned even colder. "Dated, huh?"

"Yes."

"Uuuh, yeah, I guess." Talon shrugged.

"Your name is Sophie Jones? I think I do recognize you. You\'re that actress, aren\'t you?" Hyun-Jae squinted her eyes.

"Yes! That\'s me! I do also recognize you. You\'re Miss Ran Hyun-Jae! I\'m a huge fan!!" Approaching Hyun-Jae, Sophie shook her hand with a beautiful smile on her face. However, the moment their hands connected, Sophie\'s grip on Hyun-Jae\'s hand tightened greatly.

The latter squinted her eyes for a second before she also gripped it hard, far harder than Sophie. The latter flinched visibly from the sudden pain as she tried to hide her reaction as much as she could.

"Thank you. I didn\'t watch much of your work, but I did hear your name often. I didn\'t know you dated Talon before."

Saying those words, Hyun-Jae stared daggers at Talon for a moment. Her eyes were screaming \'You didn\'t tell me about this!\'

The latter coughed as he turned away. "Well, I\'m now officially screwed." He murmured.

"In any case, what are you doing here, Sophie? I thought you left South Korea years ago. What brought you back?"

"Hehehe, I was coincidentally back here for work. But, with what happened, I couldn\'t really leave again so I stayed. Well, I probably won\'t be leaving any time soon either." She shrugged.

"Oh, makes sense," Talon replied. "Well, where did you come from? Is there another base in Seoul?" He asked.

"No, I was in Gwangju. My family is there too."

Talon and Hyun-Jae frowned when they heard the name \'Gwangju\'. Their eyes connected for a moment as they understood what the other was thinking of.

"Oh, Gwangju? You mean that the base that built by the government? I heard of it." Talon asked.

"Yes, that one. My dad was a part of the plan to build that base so we\'re living comfortably there. Well, for the most part. I like to go out and hunt down monsters to get stronger." Read exclusives on mvlemp _y,r.

\'Mainly to go and search for you, but that\'s not something you need to know yet.\' Sophie thought to herself with a hidden smile.

"I see…"

\'So, she\'s a part of that base. Hmm, should I even trust her? The fact that she came all the way here isn\'t a coincidence. Was she sent to gather intel on us? That could definitely be the case. I need to be careful with how I deal with her.\'

Even when the two of them shared a very intimate past, Talon didn\'t care at all. If Sophie turned to be an enemy then he was going to treat her like an enemy. The past is in the past.

"Well, ignore all of that, we can talk about this boring stuff later. I really miss you, Talon! I want to hear about the past few years. Do you want to take a stroll in my car?"

"No. I would prefer if we talk here. Don\'t worry, we cleared this entire part of monsters so it\'s pretty safe."

\'Leading them back to the base would be a really dumb idea.\'

"Oh…" Sophie\'s face went completely blank for a moment. She could easily notice the subtle hostility between them that manifested out of nowhere.

\'Huh? Why is Talon looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?\' Her rate increased as she started to panic. She hadn\'t seen him in years so she didn\'t know what could\'ve changed during that period of time.

Granted, she kept her eyes on him the entire time to make sure that he was living safely and normally. After all, their relationship did surface in the news once and it almost threatened to ruin his life.

"Tell your men to turn off their vehicles. We aren\'t a threat." Talon said as he put his spear away.

Sophie quickly turned around and signaled for them. The guards then left the vehicles with wary looks on their faces.

\'Why did the Young Miss hug that man? I have never seen her this intimate with a stranger before! Oh man, her father is going to kill me if he hears!\' The guard who was in the same car as she was wiped his face nervously. \'Who the hell is that young man?\'

"Put your guns down. Nobody dares to aim a gun at him or I will personally make sure you can never raise a gun again." Sophie threatened them coldly before she turned around and smiled at Talon. "Sure, let\'s sit down and talk here. I don\'t mind the place as long as we can finally catch up."

On the side, Hyun-Jae stared at the girl with a cold expression. Even when she had just met the girl and she knew nothing about her… She could only think of one thing.

\'I dislike her.\'
