The chairman made eye contact with me and slowly opened his mouth.

“You guys, that kind of relationship is correct.”

“…yes?”

“I mean Baek Ah Young.”

“ah.”

Did you see me coming out of my hospital room?

He left with a very happy expression, so if you saw him, you would think that.

But why are you saying that now?

“Actually, your image has improved a lot because of this social party attack. Do you know?”

“…No, I just woke up so I haven’t checked yet.”

I almost wanted to be honest for a moment, but I hid my information as much as possible because I didn’t know what the chairman would say.

“Thanks to your actions this time, public opinion has become on this side. Now, we can move public opinion by showing all the evidence at the academy.”

“….”

“That means we can cover up all the charges against you. Instead, we need that much cooperation.”

“Cooperation? What are you talking about….”

“I’ll tell you that if you agree to cooperate.”

The chairman looked at me with his arms crossed and a confident smile.

The Academy said they would take my side… It’s not bad.

It’s definitely not ‘bad’.

That means it’s not good.

Public opinion was loud because of what happened during the Cheon Sangje terrorist attack… .

Honestly, I didn’t do anything wrong that day, but is it right to ask for compensation to cover it up?

This didn’t happen because the Edges were unable to prevent terrorism in the first place.

Since he was Moon Su-rin’s grandfather, I tried to lose as much as possible, but I hated seeing him trying to gain an advantage at all costs.

In the first place, looking at public opinion now, there is no need for the academy’s help.

But no matter how stupid the old man is, he is the chairman of the Nerado Academy.

I won’t act without thinking.

Why are you behaving like this?

There are two cases that immediately come to mind.

The chairman did not hear the revelations about Shinyoung Guild.

Since I, who was monitoring public opinion in real time, had known the information for about 10 minutes, it is possible that the chairman came to visit without knowing about it.

Or maybe they think I don’t know that information yet.

First of all, as other people know, I fell into a coma and when I woke up, I was in a bad condition and received treatment.

In other words, they may have decided that I did not yet know public opinion properly and came to me in a hurry as soon as the revelations were made.

It’s probably the second time. He came to visit me even though I said he couldn’t visit me.

Maybe he was forced into it by the power of the chairman.

‘Whether it’s the first or second time, it’s annoying.’

Of course, it’s not that I don’t understand the chairman.

It is a good attitude to take a place where you can take advantage.

But that partner shouldn’t be me.

What did these Academy bastards do to me?

Well, if something happens, the people who tried to cover it up come out like this again, and I don’t want to tolerate it anymore.

In the end, I started speaking with a disapproving expression.

“Actually, I don’t think I need the academy’s help.”

“…what?”

“There are a lot of people who offer to help, but honestly, it’s the academy’s fault and I don’t want to cooperate… I’ll just take care of it.”

“…I knew it from the beginning.”

The chairman narrowed his eyebrows as if he was offended.

And despite the obvious order to invite guests, he did not leave the hospital room and stayed in his seat.

I was about to say something to the chairman who was sitting quietly looking at me, but the chairman opened his mouth.

“There is a saying: Even if there are police, people are always afraid of crime… Do you know why?”

“….”

The chairman did not raise his magic power or make a threatening expression.

I just looked into my eyes.

That alone made me feel like a herbivore being chased by a wild beast.

“The police eventually show up after everything is over. The damage and trauma suffered by the victim will remain forever.”

He tried to subdue me with just the intimidation emanating from his wrinkled face that had accumulated decades of experience.

It was a good try.

Because I was definitely a little nervous.

But the opponent is me?

This is Lee Ho-yeon, a master of emotional control.

“Chairman. Do you want to do something here?”

Instead, I smiled and looked at the chairman.

No matter how much you are the chairman, you can’t touch me here.

“…There’s nothing I can’t do.”

The chairman also raised his eyebrows, but it was of no use as his bluff had already been caught.

“This may be Chairman Lee’s specialty, but do you think you can cover up for me too? My boyfriend, Lee Ho-yeon?”

Since the chairman misunderstood, he had to take advantage of it.

The current public opinion is on my side. They cannot hide it after killing me, the center of the incident.

Also, is the building where Baek Ayoung is causing harm to me?

Even if I can’t resist, it’s something I can never cover up.

“…I guess he’s someone my granddaughter would be interested in.”

“….”

The chairman continued his eyeball fight with me, but then his expression became serious.

Then he looked at me with a smile as if I had no idea.

“But now that you’re dating Baek Ah-young, I guess you won’t touch my granddaughter. I’m sorry about what happened today. I was blinded by greed and tried to take advantage of the cadet.”

“Ah yes….”

I received the apology so casually that I felt a little discouraged.

The chairman lowered his head and tried to leave the hospital room.

I looked at that and thought.

‘It’s unfair.’

It’s unfair to end it like this.

It seems like something happened and it ended.

I feel like I couldn’t throw a counter punch.

And looking at him talking like that, I feel like he’s going to run up to Moon Soo-rin and tell her not to worry about Lee Ho-yeon because she’s dating Baek Ah-young.

My head hurts from how much of a hassle it would be.

I spoke to the back of the head of the chairman who was about to leave and opened my mouth.

“It’s Gura.”

Stand tall-

The chairman’s body stopped and, like a robot, he slowly turned his head and looked at me.

“What did you just say…?”

“Dating Ayoung. That’s right.”

I do not know.

So why do you come to me and start a fight? It makes the situation complicated.

“I will keep in touch with Sister Surin. If all goes well… Can I call you my wife’s uncle, or rather, my great-uncle?”

“Hehe…Is there such a helpless bastard in the world?”

The chairman came to me trembling.

Objects in the hospital room trembled due to the mana leaking from my body.

But I didn’t stop talking.

“If you take care of me just a little bit, I will treat Sister Surin the way Chairman Lee wants… What do you want to do?”

“….”

The chairman’s eyes were saying, ‘What kind of bastard is this?’

“I only ask for common sense. It would be great if you defend my position to protect the cadets right now, provide some artifacts to the academy cadets, and provide some support. It’s a win-win.”

“Ha, you might be the first person to request negotiations with the president as a cadet.”

“So you won’t do it?”

“…Don’t start announcing your position today. You look like a rotten bastard.”

It was quite fun to watch Chairman Lee’s face change into an angry Haetae.

Even though he was old, he looked middle-aged on the outside.

“Thank you. Now, goodbye.”

“….”

The chairman slammed the door and went out.

It’s quite fun to make fun of old people.

I wrote a bucket list in my head.

After seducing Moon Su-rin, he went to the CEO and said, “I will take good care of my granddaughter who I raised so hard!”

It would be best if Moon Su-rin could stop the chairman from throwing a tantrum.

“Hmmmm. Sounds fun.”

I nodded, looking forward to that day.

“…Okay, deal with it right away. Immediately hand over the materials collected so far to reporters and tell them to write articles.”

-Yes, I understand.

“As quickly as possible, okay?”

Pop-

After leaving the hospital, President Lee sighed and got into the car where his secretary was waiting.

“You came quickly.”

“The job was finished quickly.”

Secretary Kim, who has worked by his side for decades.

Probably got married recently.

“…Secretary Kim. How old was your child?”

“You mean my daughter? She’s 4 years old this year.”

“Aha…it’s time to be cute.”

“Well…I live to look after my children.”

Secretary Kim continued driving as he was used to and drove to Chairman Lee’s house.

The chairman closed his eyes in the back seat and remembered Lee Ho-yeon’s words.

‘My grandfather-in-law… .’

In fact, my granddaughter is treating me more and more coldly these days.

Just 10 years ago, he used to follow me around and call me grandpa, but now that he’s an adult, he doesn’t even make eye contact with me.

I was really cute when I was young… .

“It might not be a bad idea to see your great-grandchildren.”

“Huh? I’m sorry. Could you please say that again?”

The Chairman opened his mouth as he saw Secretary Kim asking a question, thinking it was addressed to him.

“Secretary Kim. If your daughter is of marriageable age, what will you do if she brings Lee Ho-yeon as her son-in-law?”

Secretary Kim knows about Lee Ho-yeon’s promiscuous sexual life.

Nevertheless, I am asking, “Are you going to let me get married?”

“Uh… If it were me, I would give my daughter the marriage she wants. Even if it doesn’t end well, it’s also an experience. And wouldn’t it be better to bring in this student, Ho Yeon, than to bring in an untrustworthy man? Hehe.”

“Hmm….”

After listening to it, it seems like that.

Someday I’ll bring a man, and if that’s the case, it’s better to have a man with ability.

If you get stabbed by some ugly and incompetent guy, you’ll really have a headache.

Even if she were his granddaughter and married Lee Ho-yeon, she would not be manipulated.

“My wife’s grandfather… great-grandson….”

The chairman pressed his brows and began to think.

*

The day of the terrorist attack.

Ellis’ mansion.

Ellis, who was resting, was surprised to hear from Sebastian a report that a social party had been terrorized.

“…Didn’t Lee Ho-yeon go there?”

“Yes, that’s right. They say he fell into a coma after stopping the terrorist attack. They say he did a great job.”

“Okay… okay. I’ll look up the details, so go and rest.”

“Okay. Rest in peace.”

thud-

After confirming that the door was closed and Sebastian had returned to his house, Alice checked various news using her smart watch.

I was surprised to see Ho-yeon Lee’s various performances, but what stood out was the CCTV footage of Ho-yeon Lee throwing herself to block Baek Ah-young.

“Of course, he was handsome.”

The problem is that he is unluckily handsome. Tsk.

Even so, Ellis was feeling a sense of crisis these days.

Lee Ho-yeon’s smartwatch hidden under the desk.

I was still in need every night.

But now, as if I had learned something, my lower body automatically got wet whenever I looked at the smart watch.

“Ugh…I feel uncomfortable.”

When Ellis heard that Ho-yeon Lee was in a coma, she thought, ‘What if Ho-yeon Lee dies before I can overcome this wall?’

It was a truly absurd idea, but Ellis was serious.

I don’t have proper knowledge about the castle yet, and if Lee Ho-yeon disappears before I can fix the castle walls that are excited with Ho-yeon Lee’s video and massage, I can’t fix it.

Of course, castle walls can change over time, but Ellis didn’t have much knowledge in that area yet.

“…Should I buy something healthy when visiting the hospital?”

While Alice was thinking about a gift for her visit, she came up with a good idea.

Installing a camera in a hospital room.

If he was a pervert Lee Ho-yeon, he would definitely call a woman even in the hospital room.

Hospital rooms are much easier to infiltrate than dormitories, and it will be easier to take videos.

If we secure that video… You can have a more fulfilling night.

“…I guess I should contact Scarlett.”

Ellis began sending messages to Scarlett’s personal number.
