Chapter Index

    A member of .

    The team competing with for 1st and 2nd place.

    Cho Seol-hwa, the leader and team leader there.

    She once again bowed her head to Yoo Se-ha and apologized.

    Even in my opinion, it was rude.

    “Please forgive my rudeness. Yoo Se-ha.”

    “Oh, no. And there… There is no need to give an honorific title-”

    “-No. Yoo Se-ha is a person who deserves this title. Although you are not aware of it.”

    “… Yes?”

    The first story did not explain anything at all.

    Right now, the most important priority was to chase away the cat thief right in front of us.

    Anyway, it was surprising.

    I expected it would approach, but this quickly.

    That too…

    ‘… Who would have thought that he would choose to attack head-on without any attendant.’

    After all, even if the blood is light, should we say that we are the blood relatives of ?

    In the eyes of Chu Seol-hwa, Zhou Yu-li was a person with talent worthy of ascending to the throne.

    In front of someone you consider a talented person, you approach them and make an offer without worrying about pride.

    This may not seem like a big deal, but it was a virtue that was difficult for people in high positions to practice carelessly.

    Therefore, Chu Seol-hwa was relieved.

    Just in case, it was better to hang around Yoo Se-ha instead of going straight to the young lady.

    Thanks to that…

    ‘It’s not too late.’

    *

    “… … ”

    “… … ”

    The two looked at each other in silence.

    It’s just an exchange of glances, but the lightning crackles! It felt like I was jumping.

    Joo Yu-ri looked at Cho Seol-hwa, who clearly expressed hostility, and thought, ‘Hmph… ‘ he snorted.

    Team leader Cho Seol Hwa.

    He was a talented person.

    and…

    ‘… Jun Nayong’s close associate.’

    This woman was also a gem that she did not have.

    “Why, did you disapprove of me too?”

    Despite the comical tone, Chu Seol-hwa’s expression did not change at all.

    Rather, I answered without hesitation.

    “Yes.”

    “… Well, what do you say?”

    Joo Yuri trembles as if she didn’t know she was going to say the word ‘yes’.

    Anyway, Cho Seol-hwa looked at Yoo Se-ha and continued speaking.

    He also didn’t forget to skillfully use a trick to block conversation.

    “How can you look favorably on someone who tries to steal something from a young lady?”

    “… Hey. Team leader Cho Seol Hwa. The reason you don’t know my location is-”

    “-What was it like?”

    “… You?”

    Chu Seol-hwa approached Zhou Yu-ri.

    As he approached, as if he was going to push in, Joo Yuri hesitated.

    “Ju Yuri. Know Fractions”

    “… … !”

    “ belongs to you.”

    “… … You.”

    “I already know that your position is shaken. The number of people trying to move factions in this direction is increasing here and there.”

    A word that will make you cringe.

    In fact, the decisive reason why Joo Yuri approached Yoo Seha.

    In the end, it was because my person was falling away.

    A genius and successor who is expected to spread his wings 10 years ago?

    That’s just Joo Na-yong’s thoughts.

    Now it was becoming a thing of the past.

    It still remains tight, but Cho Seol-hwa had a hunch.

    The fact that Seung-gi is clearly leaning towards Joo Na-yong.

    Here was also the hilt of the sword that would deliver the final blow.

    ‘The young lady has recently acquired a great power called [Breath].’

    Probably a greater value than [wings].

    Just make this fact public during the upcoming head meeting of .

    Zhou Yu-ri’s downfall was virtually certain.

    ‘However, there is one variable.’

    Chu Seol-hwa looked behind him.

    I swallowed dryly as I looked at Yoo Se-ha, who was dazed because she had no background knowledge.

    He was the key.

    He was the variable.

    ‘That’s right, Yoo Se-ha falling into the hands of Joo Yuri.’

    Chu Seol-hwa was vaguely familiar with Joo Na-yong.

    The one who played a decisive role in opening [Breath] was the campaign.

    ‘You just made excuses, but… ‘

    Chu Xuehua is a close associate who has watched and served Zhou Nayong for a long time.

    It’s been over 10 years.

    In fact, to Chu Seol-hwa, Joo Na-yong was like a younger sister with a large age difference.

    That’s why I noticed that my cute little sister intentionally hid the truth in an unnatural way.

    ‘… … ‘

    A super tale that adds imagination to imagination.

    There was no foundation or opportunity.

    Isn’t it possible that [Breath] was completely opened thanks to the help of Yoo Se-hara’s incredible talent? The assumption was vaguely made.

    It was such an accurate judgment that if Joo Na-yong read her thoughts, he would naturally scream, ‘Yong-ah!’

    So naturally…

    Chu Seol-hwa also considered the worst, just like Zhou Na-yong.

    If Yoo Se-ha goes under Joo Yuri and opens her [Breath].

    Furthermore, if his genius blossoms and soars high…

    If you become Zhou Yuri’s right hand man and a sword that can cut through anything…

    ‘… ‘I might lose.’

    I really didn’t know that the young lady would be deprived of the position of successor to .

    Have you gone too far? To do this, Chu Seol-hwa could not hide the anxiety in her heart.

    ‘That’s not right.’

    This also led to the reason why Cho Seol-hwa is now provoking Zhou Yu-ri to the point of being rude.

    They chose a de facto all-out war.

    It was never a good attitude.

    No matter how much Cho Seol-hwa was the team leader of the founding public figure, in the end, he was nothing more than an excellent without a proper foundation.

    On the other hand, Joo Yuri is supported by the , which is comparable to Joo Na-yong, no matter what is said.

    The difference in influence was too great.

    But Chu Seol-hwa didn’t care.

    Even if something bad happened, I couldn’t back down.

    Even so, I had to block the meeting with Yoo Se-ha.

    “… … ”

    Meanwhile, the clever Joo Yuri noticed this fact.

    I knew well from meeting with him for a long time that Team Leader Cho Seol Hwa wasn’t usually like this.

    To be this belligerent and show hostility…

    ‘… Loyalty.’

    One thing I have in mind for Joo Na-yong.

    That was all.

    “… Crackling.”

    Joo Yuri bit her chin because her molars were broken.

    It was a dedication he had never had before.

    Envy radiated from her eyes.

    “The reason why Joo Yuri is obsessed with Yoo Seha. The reason I gave up my pride and tried to suggest it again. I’m sure it’s because they think it’s a card that will turn the whole situation around.”

    “… … ”

    “It seems like he thinks he won’t betray him… Let me say it again.”

    Yoo Se-ha belongs to you.

    “Ju Yuri. It’s not too late now. Please quietly bow your head.”

    “You… … !”

    “The lady is a gentle and kind person.”

    Even if you were a competitor.

    “I will definitely accept it-”

    “-It’s so funny!”

    Chu Seol-hwa closed her mouth at the sound.

    Joo Yuri is grinning with a bright red face.

    Soon after… He took a deep breath and tore off the covering that was covering him with his hands.

    Then he bowed his head towards Yoo Se-ha.

    “I’m sorry, Yoo Se-ha. I guess today is not the right time.”

    “Uh, over there… I’ll give this back-”

    “-Business card.”

    Zhou Yuri smiled slightly bitterly.

    “Can you keep my business card? I have my own pride… ”

    “… … ”

    At those words, Yu Se-ha quietly took what he wanted to return.

    Joo Yuri closes her eyes for a moment.

    Immediately after glaring at Chu Seol-hwa, he turned around.

    *

    All over the place.

    “… … ”

    It’s miserable.

    Joo Yuri’s first feelings.

    Why is everyone…

    Why does everyone hate themselves so much?

    ‘… why.’

    Why is that child so…

    It was time to disassemble it.

    Did they say that even tigers will come if you tell them what to do?

    The child I was thinking about appeared before my eyes.

    “… Uh, sister?”

    Joonayong.

    She was wearing pretty activewear.

    It looks like he made some preparations to impress Yoo Se-ha.

    Looking back, he was a child so bright and flawless that it was almost foolish.

    From Joo Yuri’s perspective, she was a very envious, jealous, and irritated child.

    “… … ”

    If it were the usual Joo Yuri, she would smile moderately and say, ‘I enjoyed the match. I would have just said, ‘It was cool’ and walked away.

    However, Yoo Se-ha refused just a moment ago.

    And Cho Seol-hwa’s bloody words subtly took away Joo Yu-ri’s ability to judge.

    “… I hope so.”

    “What?”

    “You had everything from the beginning, right? I don’t have any.”

    “… What is that sound all of a sudden-”

    “-I’m jealous.”

    “… … ?”

    “I’m jealous. You are loved by everyone just by staying still.”

    Unlike someone like me.

    “… Sister?”

    “… … ”

    Joo Na-yong tried to grab him, but Joo Yu-ri shook them all off and walked away.

    I walked away for a while.

    The more you walk…

    Zhou Yuri’s mind was filled with one thought.

    ‘… It can’t go on like this.’

    The available means are becoming less and less…

    Even Yu Se-he, who thought there was hope, had very little chance of falling into his own hands as long as Chu Seol-hwa and Zhou Na-yong were wrapped around him like that.

    Joo Yuri is a woman with quick calculations.

    He didn’t think that Chu Seol-hwa would provoke him just because of loyalty.

    ‘… ‘Did I get my hands on something?’

    I don’t know exactly what it is.

    It will definitely be a fatal thing that will lead to his downfall at the .

    In the end, no matter what happened, it was ruin.

    ‘… also… ‘

    Should I join hands with them… ?

    “Leader? Are you okay?”

    “… Ah.”

    Joo Yuri came to her senses when she heard a voice.

    Before I knew it, I was inside the limousine I had arrived in.

    Even though he lost his mind, he seems to have come back well.

    “The leader’s expression is dark. I guess the recruitment of Yoo Se-ha didn’t go well?’

    “… Yes.”

    It was hard.

    that person…

    “I was firmly captivated by Joo Na-yong.”

    “Uh, really?”

    “… By the way, who is Team Leader Woohamchi? We obviously decided to ride back together.”

    “… Well, that… ”

    Bodenov Silas drives the steering wheel diligently while paying attention.

    Joo Yuri looked at her for a moment, then checked her phone when she saw a text message.

    ―Shoot, Joo Yuri. This is Uhamchi. It’s no different… …

    “… Ha.”

    That long, long story.

    In summary, the message sent by Team Leader Woo Hamchi was this.

    “No matter how you look at it, Junayong’s faction appears to be stronger… I’ll change the line… Is it.”

    “Well, it’s not that direct… ”

    “That’s it.”

    I wasn’t expecting it anyway.

    okay.

    It was always like that.

    ‘… Around me… ‘

    There was always no one there for me.

    In the end, if you are weak, you tend to abandon everyone else in search of a way to survive.

    I did my best to catch at least one of them…

    Material compensation was also definitely satisfied…

    Sometimes I gave to them, even if it meant being in debt, and with great effort, I paid them back and moved on…

    In the end…

    In the end…

    ‘There’s nothing left.’

    “… … ”

    Joo Yuri quietly clenched her fists.

    I was jealous.

    A scene from the match came to mind.

    Colleagues join hands and cheer for Joo Na-yong, who is performing well and coming up.

    and…

    -It was great.

    ―Yonghehe…

    Even Yoo Se-ha smiles in a friendly way.

    All of that…

    I was so jealous.

    *

    ‘… … ‘

    stop.

    So far.

    Even if you are immersed in this kind of sentimentality, even if you are immersed in inertia.

    No one helps.

    ‘For now, there is only one.’

    I had to find a way to survive.

    Even if that…

    ‘Even if it means abandoning humanity.’

    Joo Yuri tightened her grip.

    In no time, a small business card was created.

    This was taken separately because it should not be stored anywhere.

    He looked straight ahead, blocking even Vodenov Scylla from seeing.

    A dark black business card, completely different from the one handed to Yoo Se-ha.

    Above that…

    The words were written on it.

    “… … ”

    In fact, Joo Yuri had been providing them with some information and support for a long time.

    In return, with the help they received from them under the guise of information and incidents, Metallurgy succeeded in expanding its influence.

    but…

    Just looking at the liver didn’t help anymore.

    -Joo Yuri? I’m overestimating you.

    ―It is often said that the flowing through your body is black and ominous.

    ―I think that’s why it stands out more.

    -Hold my hand.

    ―If it were me…

    -I can elevate you higher than anything else.

    ―None other than…

    [Clan Master] of .

    ―I, Tang Seoran…

    ‘… … ‘

    Zhou Yuri originally had no intention of cooperating properly.

    The power they had was useful and great, but in the end, it was .

    No matter how much he did not care about the means and methods, Ju Yu-ri also had his own sense of self-interest.

    I didn’t want to get caught someday and end up in a miserable situation.

    ‘but… ‘

    If this continues, he will die anyway.

    Miserably…

    For the rest of my life, the new owner of .

    It will be a life of moving around abroad, watching Joo Na-yong’s thoughts.

    Then, when the child’s compassion is cut off…

    He will be assassinated without any rat or bird knowing and thrown as a corpse on the beach.

    ‘… no.’

    I didn’t want to die for that.

    I wanted to win.

    I wanted to be a winner.

    Everything that child has…

    ‘… I want it.’

    In particular, Yu Se-hara’s treasure was so coveted.

    Joo Yuri slowly opened her closed eyes.

    Blurry black flames burn like swirls.

    Suddenly, in Joo Yuri’s mind…

    A thick darkness that could only be described as began to fill up.

    “… … ”

    And Vodenov Silas secretly watches this through the steering wheel mirror.

    Her green pupils were expressing a very subtle expression of sadness.

    * * *

    Meanwhile, at the same time.

    Yu Se-ha, who was suddenly left alone, could not hide his embarrassed expression at Cho Seol-hwa’s endless appeal.

    “Yoo Se-ha.”

    “… Yes?”

    “Lady… No, Junayong clan member is truly an attractive person.”

    “… Yes?”

    “It is the first prize, especially for a bride. She has a pretty face, good body, noble character, and good skills. And knowingly or unknowingly, you are lewd, so play whenever you want at night as long as you let me know -”

    “-Now, wait a minute!”

    Seha spread both his hands.

    The calmness that had always kept me sane was of no use now.

    He blinked, thinking about the line from earlier.

    ‘Ji, now I…’ ‘

    What on earth did you hear!?

    No, more than that…

    This woman…

    ‘Was this the image?!’
