ANOMALY: I HAVE COUNTLESS SYSTEMs

Chapter 7 – Sandara’s Father – Park Yoo

At the same time...

Sandara opened her phone in anger and checked it once again.

The sky was almost beginning to darken. The sun was preparing to give its place to the moon that followed behind the blood red sky.

In the end, Sandara grabbed her phone in anger and smashed it against the wall.

That little brat Leo actually dared to ignore her message for three hours straight.

Thinking that this was the first time someone had acted this boldly against her, Sandara decided she would beat him up at the first opportunity.

At that moment, the door of Sandara's room suddenly opened, and a muscular man who had a height of two meters tall entered.

This man, whose arms exposed by his T-shirt were covered in knife scars, was Sandara's father, Park Yoo.

He came here after hearing the sound when Sandara threw her phone at the wall and broke it in anger.

When Sandara saw her father, she also realized what she had done.

Now she had to give her father an explanation. Even though her father usually preferred to spoil her, he never did it like an idiot. If he learned that she broke her phone for nothing, he would not buy her a new one.

Because of that, Sandara's mind began working quickly, and she started thinking of an escape route.

When Park Yoo saw his daughter standing quietly with her head lowered, he thought for a moment and decided not to pressure her. Of course, the fact that he needed to learn what happened here did not change. He simply needed to do it without hurting his daughter.

Just as Sandara was about to start speaking, Park Yoo told her that dinner would be ready soon and that she needed to give an explanation at dinner, then he turned around and left.

While Sandara decided to use the time she gained to make a better plan, Park Yoo passed by the photograph in the corridor that showed him, his wife, and Sandara, and he let out a sigh.

In this photograph, Sandara was only two years old, and Park Yoo was just an ordinary soldier in the special forces, but everyone in the family was smiling in the picture.

Park Yoo held his wife's photo in his hand, and after looking at it for a while, he sighed and returned to the kitchen while thinking about how difficult it was to raise a daughter alone.

For someone like him, someone who trained an entire special forces army, his little daughter's problems were as insignificant and small as the wing of a fly, but as a father, he knew he had to treat these insignificant problems as if he were facing the end of the world.

After preparing dinner and calling his daughter, Park Yoo sat down to eat together with her.

Park Yoo, who took pride in the meals he made as a good cook, saw that his daughter wasn't eating anything and realized that the approaching problem was unavoidable.

After Park Yoo placed the fork and knife in his hands on the table, there was a strange silence for a while.

Park Yoo, who declared himself an expert in human psychology, waited patiently because he knew his daughter would open her mouth soon.

He thought, Sandara probably once again couldn't get the nail polish she wanted, or she got too angry while playing a game and broke her phone.

However, this time he didn't hear anything like what he expected from Sandara. The first sentence that came out of Sandara's mouth made Park Yoo's pupils shrink and his heartbeat speed up.

"Dad, Leo keeps ignoring me. What should I do? Does he not love me anymore?"

Asking this question wasn't easy for Sandara either because this would, in a way, damage her position as her father's innocent girl, but in the end, Sandara clenched her teeth and began to speak.

After all, she really wasn't a little innocent girl anymore. She was a university student now. And this was also a good opportunity to test her father's attitude. In the future, if she got a boyfriend, she could learn how her father would react to this.

Inside Park Yoo's mind, different images from his daughter's childhood until today began appearing and breaking into pieces.

For a father who raised his daughter alone, learning that his daughter had a boyfriend could be as devastating as learning that his wife had a secret lover for some fathers.

Especially if this person was someone who dedicated his life to protecting his country and then, for some reason, returned home and directed all his protective instincts toward his little daughter.

A soldier being left without a country and a father being left without a daughter...

The two great spears of pain stabbed into the heart of the middle-aged man, and before he even realized it, a drop of tears appeared in the dusty corner of his eyes.

And then the river of memories constantly flowing inside the old man's heart began to distort.

First, he remembered the pain he suffered in the army because of a lower-ranked soldier and that soldier's relative, who was a general.

Then he remembered a moment when a battalion of soldiers he had trained with difficulty was killed by a group of bandits because of the gaps in the attack plan of someone who had risen to his rank using certain connections.

When the old man frowned because of the betrayal blooming in his heart, he suddenly began remembering the absurd things his daughter had been asking him ever since she was small.

Dad, my phone is broken. Dad, a girl in my class called me a donkey kill her. Dad, what does gay mean?

Park Yoo's head began filling with the pain he had experienced while trying to be a father, and the man suddenly smiled uncontrollably.

Fortunately, as a former special war unit commander, he suppressed his smile without his daughter noticing.

Maybe my daughter having a boyfriend isn't that bad. After all, she chose her boyfriend herself, so I didn't force her like a bad father. If I give my daughter's boyfriend a little lesson about what he will experience if he hurts my daughter, I guess there will be no problem left. In the future, my daughter will go to her boyfriend every chance she gets, like other girls, and I can finally learn what real retirement feels like. Haha, while giving my daughter's boyfriend a lesson, I should also be careful not to overdo it; if he breaks up with my daughter because of me, my daughter will be sad. And I will also be sad, but that is not as important as my daughter's feelings. Kekeke. I hope you have done your military service, kid. No, wait, if he has done his military service, then he must have either dropped out of school, or he must be very old. What if my daughter likes an older man? What I am talking about is something like that, even possible.

"Dad!"

With his daughter's angry voice, Park Yoo immediately came to his senses and narrowed his eyes while looking at her. As if his eyelids were trying to hide a terrifying killing intent.

Of course, all of this was Sandara's imagination.

"Where does that useless bastard who calls himself a boyfriend live!"
