{ Helper’s identity 1 }
That short title made the middle-aged man look back.
‘This person… boss?’
“Bert. As I always say, call me by name. ruler… Get inside.”
A middle-aged man called the ‘boss’ turned and entered first, followed by Yuhan-wol and Yang-gwang.
I glanced around and saw a white man following behind me.
‘You got the tail.’
Yuhan-wol thought, paying close attention to his presence.
He’s attached to the back to keep an eye on the two of us and protect the boss.
But if I have a bad heart and try to hurt the boss, will he be able to stop it from this street?
If you thought it was possible, he was underestimating me… I was rather underestimating him.
‘Boss… ‘
As he walked in, Yuhan Wol looked at his back, revealed as defenseless.
Obviously, he doesn’t feel any special power.
‘Actually, he’s not even the alley leader, and the strongest guy doesn’t necessarily mean he’s the boss… .’
As soon as I followed him inside, the spacious interior caught my eye.
The upper part of the living room was open all the way to the roof, creating a feeling of great openness.
The structure of the space surrounded by railings on each floor could be seen at a glance.
‘It doesn’t look like it’s been built for a long time.’
The exterior of the building was the same, but when you step inside, the interior is as clean as new.
Startle
At that time, Yang Yang-gwang, who was looking inside, was startled and flinched.
It was because of the huge presence that suddenly appeared.
I followed the middle-aged man to the middle of the living room, when suddenly a man appeared from the other side.
“Baby, shit. what? … I’m sorry.”
However, it was only for a short time that he spit out insults in surprise at the man who suddenly came out.
When he made eye contact with a man whose body was large enough to block the light, Yang Yang-gwang reflexively apologized.
Then the big man glanced at the two of them once, then walked over and stood behind the middle-aged man who was sitting on the sofa.
‘… Strong.’
Yuhanwol looked at him like that and thought.
Unlike the ‘boss’, who doesn’t feel any power, the powerful man in his body could be felt.
It was such a great presence that it was hard to believe that he was a human.
“Sit comfortably.”
In line with the middle-aged man’s words, a white man went and sat down next to him, and Yuhan-wol and Yang-gwang Yang sat across the table with the reception table in the middle.
‘How tall are you?’
Whether it was because he was standing alone or because of his rare presence, Yang Yang-gwang’s gaze continued to turn to the back of the middle-aged man.
Maybe it was because he looked up from a seated state, but it was difficult to estimate his height.
Was it because of the gaze of Yang Gwang?
The middle-aged man looked back and said.
“Brian. It’s okay, you don’t have to stand like that. Come over here and sit down.”
“i get it.”
The large man answered in a low voice and sat down next to him.
However, the figure sitting at an angle seemed to always protect the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man smiled and said.
“Coming here must have been a hassle, but first of all, I want to say thank you for coming this far. I am Aiden Aiden Lee.”
When I said that I felt a bit unusual in the way I spoke, it seemed that he was not just a Korean, but a person who grew up in a foreign country.
Maybe it was because of that, but his words seemed very natural, speaking comfortably without respect.
He introduced the two people sitting next to him.
“Have you already spoken with Bert here?”
Then the white man briefly announced his name.
“It’s Bertrand.”
“This is Brian.”
The large man who received attention following Aiden’s introduction just shook his head without saying anything.
Yuhan-Wol felt quite unfamiliar with the fact that he now knew the name of Bertrand, the white man who had guided him all the way here.
‘It’s been a while since we met, but now I’m hearing your name.’
Yuhan-wol and Yang-gwang Yang also revealed their names, but from what they heard, it was clear that they already had some information about this place.
‘It’s Bertrand and Brian… .’
Yuhan-wol looked at the two men and assessed their strength.
Neither of them was particularly nervous, but neither did they relax.
A state of being prepared for any situation.
Yuhan-wol was well aware that it was not easy to show such a figure without self-confidence.
‘Hmm.’
His eyes rested on the newly emerged giant man.
A man with overwhelming physical strength.
Yuhan Wol quickly confirmed his armed status.
‘It looks like there is no gun.’
Then, in the event of a confrontation, it was the white man Bertrand who had to be more vigilant.
In Yuhan-wol’s mind, the scene at the experimental facility came to mind.
A bullet that accurately pierced the middle of the opponent’s forehead.
‘It’s not easy to dodge over and over again.’
The greatest strength of shooting is, after all, extreme speed.
‘Can you stop the gun?’
Yuhan-wol remembered the power of the gun and measured his own level.
Although there was a marked difference from the state of Hiel Jeroham, at least he succeeded in obtaining divine power.
So, if you’re prepared, you might be able to stop it.
We simulated a situation in which a finite month could occur.
Brian engages in a close fight with him, while Bertrand circles the perimeter and shoots.
‘I can summon the Holy Sword… I wonder what it will be like.’
The problem was Yang Gwang.
If the opponent uses him as a weakness to attack, the situation will be really difficult.
Yuhan-wol thought, feeling the formidable presence of the two people sitting in front of him.
If they become allies, they will be more reassuring.
But, if you become an enemy…
‘Secret death (初殺).’
As soon as this place reaches catastrophe, those two must be eliminated immediately.
Only then can Yang Gwang’s life be saved and I can also get out of a dangerous situation.
* * *
“ruler. Take it.”
Aiden got up and headed for the kitchen after the official name.
He returned to his seat with a cup of coffee that fit his head.
Hororok
The people who were seated put their mouths on the coffee cup, but Yuhan-wol and Yang-gwang remained silent.
This is because, in a situation where you do not know what will happen in the future, you cannot eat a drink given to you by someone who does not know what their intentions are.
Aiden seemed to understand this too, so he didn’t recommend it any further.
As the two of them were silent, Aiden, who had been staring at Yuhan Wol for a moment, spoke.
“You want to know what the hell is going on. So I came to this place. Isn’t that right?”
Yuhan Wol nodded his head.
Then Aiden continued.
“Then, I want to say two things first. First of all, your judgment was right. I want to know what happened to you… If that’s the case, I won’t be able to give you an answer anywhere but here.”
His face was serious, but his tone seemed like a mixture of playfulness.
‘Anywhere but here, la.’
Yuhan Wol thought as he looked at the other person with somber eyes.
Does this mean that this is the only organization that knows what’s going on?
if not… Does this mean that there is only one organization against BH?
The mouth of Aiden, who was facing each other, continued to open.
“And, well, it’s hard to accept that it’s easy to say, but… ”
Aiden smiled and continued.
“There will be no danger to you here. So you might as well relax a little.”
As he himself mentioned earlier, it was difficult to believe easily.
Yang Gwang-gwang smirked at his words.
Then Yuhan Wol’s low voice echoed in the room.
“Does that mean, whatever our choices here are valid?”
flat, not honorable.
But Aiden didn’t mind that and answered.
“Yes.”
“Does that mean we’re going to send it back even if it doesn’t suit your taste?”
An opponent who pays great attention to exposure to the point of being cumbersome.
It meant that they were so reluctant to reveal their actions.
However, letting Yuhan-wol and Yang-gwang go away means that they are willing to accept the risk of being discovered…
Will we take that risk even if it goes against their intentions?
But without hesitation, the opponent’s response came out.
“You don’t know me, so even if I never broke my promise, you wouldn’t be able to trust me straight away. But I will promise you. I’ll send you goi Of course, when you go back, you will have to go as troublesome as when you come.”
He then added:
“But, no matter how much I say it, it would be hard to believe… For a more plausible reason, not hurting you is in our interest.”
“… … .”
“So that’s the promise. For ourselves.”
It was a word that made me think about many things.
Are you sure that in the end I’m going to be against BH anyway?
‘So it is advantageous to them against BH to leave the opponent who will be the enemy of BH as it is?’
However, there was no change in Yuhanwol’s expression on the outside, and Aiden said again looking at him like that.
“Most of all, talking to you… It’s worth the risk we take. That’s enough for me to go out on my own.”
Yuhan-wol nodded his head as if he knew it, and as if he was ready to have a conversation, he roused the atmosphere and let go of his luck.
“If you have any questions, feel free to ask.”
It was a positive attitude, ready to answer anything.
But looking at Aiden like that, Yuhan Wol made a quick judgment.
‘I’m not going to explain everything from one to ten so kindly.’
Even if Yuhan Wol had been in his position, he would have asked this.
What are you curious about?
From Aiden’s point of view, there are many things that can be understood just by listening to the content of the questions asked.
What level your opponent is, how far you know, and what you lack.
By answering the question appropriately, you can hide the parts you don’t like and adjust the information you share to your liking.
Even if you only tell the truth without lies, it is enough to mislead the other party by conveying limited information or changing the tone.
That was the narration of the priests, and Yuhan-wol, well aware of this, was prepared to listen to his words with full vigilance.
Everyone looked at Yuhan Wol, and Yang Gwang was also quietly waiting for his words, thinking that it was not his place to go.
Soon, Yuhan Wol’s mouth opened.
“Berland. I want to ask how he was able to show up just in time.”
