What on earth did I just hear?

It felt as if I had been hit squarely in the chin by a punch coming from a blind spot.

Isn’t that exactly what it feels like to lose one’s mind?

While I was just twitching my eyes, Rahee, who was sitting with me, lightly clicked her tongue.

“Tsk, did I break down because I heard something so unexpected… So what kind of novel bullshit is that? Didn’t you take your medicine today?”

“I thought it would be like this for you, so I prepared an ultrasound picture. Would you like to see it?”

What appeared on the table with those words was a visual that was very similar to something I saw in a makjang drama that I happened to watch one day.

Unlike regular photos, this photo is completely black and only some parts are stained white.

Something like that was sitting right in the middle of a medical certificate issued by a hospital with a name I had never heard of before.

It would be hard to understand if it was a situation where only words were spoken, but since there was so much evidence that could be called evidence, even Rahee couldn’t help but be momentarily at a loss for words.

An expression that a person who was speechless appeared on Rahee’s face.

But soon, Rahee reached out for the medical certificate that Juyeon had placed on the table.

Since there was a medical certificate, the possibility of it being a lie was very low, but I still thought it was necessary to check in detail.

After holding the medical certificate in front of her face and looking at it carefully, Rahee suddenly took out her cell phone.

Then, he started making phone calls to someone without saying a word.

“Yes, ah, yes, excuse me.”

And when the phone call that started like that ended, Rahee came to the conclusion.

“This is fake.”

“What…?!”

It was none other than that.

The medical certificate is fake…?

Even just looking at the arm, it doesn’t look fake…?

“I called the number of the person in charge, but they said he was a doctor and nothing like that?”

“Tch… It’s useless to be meticulous…”

No, what is this…

“Hey, Juyeon Han, are you really crazy? huh? No matter what, there is something else to deceive, a lie like this…”

“I was just joking.”

“A joke can be used harshly? Then, if I hit you and then tell you it was a joke, you’ll understand and move on, right?”

The reason why the sight of two lionesses roaring at each other flashes before my eyes is because their spirit is so fierce.

One funny thing was that I found myself feeling fortunate that Ari was not here.

What if Ari hadn’t gone out to go to the supermarket?

By now, a turbulent period reminiscent of the Three Kingdoms would have unfolded here.

While I was shaking as I remembered that scene, the two people’s fight, or rather their party, continued.

“Anyway, you say it’s violent… so you become a habit of it?”

“Have you ever thought that you are making me violent?”

“Me? What am I?”

“Ha···.”

“It was a joke, I was just curious about his reaction.”

If he is… he must be referring to me…?

“If you had sex with a woman without using a condom, wouldn’t you be prepared to take on that level of responsibility?”

“···!”

Was it only after listening to Juyeon’s next words that I realized that this whole situation was triggered because I slept with Juyeon?

A light suddenly lit up in Rahee’s eyes, as she happened to come across a piece of truth.

“You…this bastard really…”

” Well… try to calm down first…”

“Calm down? Do I look serious now?”

“No, I want you to listen to what I have to say?”

Did my anger subside a little thanks to my desperate cry for time?

I thought so at first.

What made me realize that wasn’t true was the air around me that was getting hotter.

“···Tell me.”

Rahee did not calm down.

This was not because it had calmed down, but rather it was closer to the momentary silence that comes before the volcano erupts in earnest.

As proof, there was something burning in Rahee’s eyes as she spoke to me with the feeling of ‘Tell me something.’

“Well… actually. I was threatened?”

“I know that. So?”

“So, should I say that it happened naturally as I responded to the blackmailer’s demands…”

“Did it happen naturally?”

“Yes.”

“Would you like to have me die a natural death?”

“What…!”

For a moment, I suddenly realized that I was secretly admiring Rahee’s brilliant choice of words.

‘what···? Somehow it’s a bit smaller than I thought…’

The level of anger seems to be low…?

Even so, I was prepared to have my back exploded.

Is this really why married seniors left behind the famous saying that forgiveness is faster than permission?

“So what do we do now?”

“Huh?”

“What are you going to do with Han Joo-yeon?”

“What is that…Chae, shouldn’t you be responsible…?”

“Then what about me? And what about Ari?”

“Hey, what are you asking of the obvious? Of course, I have to take responsibility for you too.”

What if you didn’t mean to do that in the first place?

I wouldn’t have even taught them martial arts.

I taught them martial arts because I planned to take full responsibility for them no matter what happened.

So I asked him what he was asking, and the answer was close to a passing grade, even if it wasn’t 100.

Rahee gave me an expression that seemed to say, ‘Ugh, really… I can’t even speak…’

Thanks to this, the part of my conscience that I thought would have been worn away started to feel sore for the first time in a while.

“Okay, what can we do about something that has already happened? The future is important.”

“Yes, that’s right. Cancer, whatever. Shouldn’t people live with tomorrow in mind?”

“You shut up.”

“Yes.”

Rahee, who had put me to death with just one word, turned her head towards Juyeon again.

“So why did you do this test that didn’t work?”

“I told you. I wanted to check his reaction.”

“I guess you wanted to check whether or not you are a trustworthy partner?”

“What… right?”

A trustworthy partner…

Well, it might be a problem for the main character.

Rahee, ‘Did you like it when you teased me excitedly? I proceeded with the work without considering anything else with the thought, ‘Now you all have to try this too’, but as Juyeon, who is working hard to gain experience to take over the Gwangmyeong Cross Society, I have no choice but to take many things into consideration.

What if Juyeon were to stand on my side?

This is because we may have an antagonistic relationship with all of the other top 10 guilds except Lahee’s guild, Flame Shroud.

How on earth does that happen?

That is the nature of a living creature called human beings in the first place.

If I don’t receive a benefit but someone else gets a benefit, I hate that person for no reason because humans are creatures.

It may be a very minor benefit to others, but what if it is something that can change the game of the times, as Joseph, the Vice President of the United States, mentioned in an interview?

From the perspective of someone who cannot suck that honey, wouldn’t they feel like those who are sucking that honey are their enemies?

‘furthermore···.’

The possibility of being criticized by high-ranking people in the association was also very high.

Of course, if the plan that Rahee and I put together were to proceed properly, most of the power of the association was going to be in the hands of Rahee’s father… but that doesn’t mean we can kick out all of the existing board members. Because.

And from the perspective of those who succeeded in saving their lives from the wind of purge, they cannot help but hate everything related to me.

‘They say even if a rich person goes bankrupt, it lasts for three generations…’

Even more so, what about the directors of associations who have the power to make even a flying bird fall for a joke?

Even if he were to be pushed out of his position due to public opinion, everything he had built up while serving as the director of the Hunter Association would not all evaporate in an instant.

As I was appointed as the next guild leader of the Gwangmyeong Cross Society, there was no way I could not have known that Juyeon, who would be more familiar with the industry than me, was so obvious.

Rather… he probably knows several times better than me.

It was probably because he was concerned about that that he tried to test me like he did a while ago.

When we think about the situations we must navigate in the future, there is nothing more dangerous than an unreliable partner.

‘No matter what, pregnancy attacks are a bit…’

Fortunately, Ra-hee quickly revealed that Joo-yeon’s medical certificate was a fake. If she hadn’t, she would have fainted while sitting down.

Thanks to you, I can still feel my heart pounding… Juyeon, who exchanged glances with Rahee once, then looked in my direction and said.

“Anyway… I confirmed what I wanted to check… Is it now my turn to step forward? ”
