125 – River cruise (1)
a tall building.
A woman wearing glasses was quietly organizing documents inside a huge building with the word Dominion written on it.
She silently stares at the papers.
Then I frowned at the loud noise coming from outside the door.
-miss! Calm down! The guild leader said don’t let anyone in!-
-Noisy! I need to meet you right now!-
A fuss that lasted for a while.
bang! The door opened violently and Kang Ah-rang walked in.
A girl glaring at something with an angry face.
Kang Yoo-ram, who saw that, put down his glasses and opened his mouth.
“I don’t think I ever taught you to behave so recklessly… ”
Kang Ah-rang opened her mouth, passing her pointed words over her ears.
“Is it true?”
“What do you mean?”
“Don’t pretend. You mean behind the scenes of Ernel! You said you already handed over the information to the association and various brokers, and you didn’t even properly check whether it was true or not?”
“Yeah, because the truth isn’t that important.”
“… Are you sure you’re doing what I’m thinking about?”
Kang Yoo-ram puts a calm expression on his daughter’s question. He nodded slowly.
“Yes, I am Cheon Hui-taek, the president. I’m thinking of cleaning up that man.”
“… ! Why!”
“Are you asking such a thing when you already know it? Of course, to bring outstanding talent to our reign.”
Kang Ah and her face distorted at her words.
“… It must have been threatened, not in the proper way… Take your family hostage… Dig traps and create debt… Right?”
“You know that. That is our way of reigning.”
“Don’t be ridiculous! We are heroes! No matter what, there is a line that must be followed!”
Kang Yoo-ram clicked his tongue at those words.
“So you are still young. Arang. Getting your hands on power by any means and methods, and cutting off the buds early on what you can’t have, that’s the most important way to survive in this world.”
She carefully wiped the glasses on the table before opening her mouth.
“Since you have such complacent thoughts, you haven’t gotten hold of him yet.”
With a trembling river.
“You’re not saying you wouldn’t notice, are you? It’s a story that everyone who knows that you’ve been following Yu Si-woo behind that child lately.”
“… Don’t try to mess with him. If you do, even your mother will never forgive you.”
Kang Ah-rang burst into strong energy. However, Kang Yoo-ram does not blink an eye.
“It can’t be. The biggest reason for doing such troublesome things is to get him.”
bang!
Kang Ah-rang, who could not stand it, slapped the side wall. A wall that sticks like a fist mark. Broken debris rolled across the floor.
After glaring at him for a while, Kang Ah-rang slowly opened his mouth.
“… Why do you do this. Is it because of the exam last week?”
“… … ”
“I have eyes too. I wore a mask, but the twin spears and even the skills I used… It must have been my sister.”
“… … ”
“But, you know. Do you seriously think the academy brought up your sister with malice? Common sense wouldn’t allow them to do that! There must have been something wrong!”
“Yeah, I don’t know.”
“… Yes?”
“I know, there is someone else who did it. Couldn’t they have done that?”
With Kang Ah, who blinked her eyes because she couldn’t understand the situation.
Before long, as if he had noticed something, he opened his mouth quietly with a shocked face.
“… no way… Did your mother do it?”
“… … ”
Kang Yoo-ram affirms with silence.
“Mi, are you crazy!? It’s a family affair. If your mother and no one else did it, why would you do that!”
“Because I had to make a gap. I thought I would shake off the dust and not come out, but the professor and the president are far more honest than I thought.”
Kang Yu-ram gets up from his seat. I looked up at the high sky through the window.
“It’s not just to create confusion. A virus chip with various cheating in computer errors. I was airlifted from an acquaintance I recently met and an organization I belong to.”
“I’ll notice later and deal with it, but it won’t be useful. I have already written a number through the DS company that provides training equipment to Ernel.”
“If the association investigates later, related evidence will eventually come out, and it will only be a matter of time before Chun Hui-taek takes responsibility. Taking advantage of the natural confusion, Ernel’s outstanding talents and faculty are recruited. If you’re lucky here, you might be able to bring some of the future educational management rights.”
“If that happens, you will be able to control the interior to your heart’s content and change your taste buds as you like without having to use such cumbersome measures. Of course, our reign will go beyond the top 10 guilds and become a place that stands tall all over the world.”
Kang Yoo-ram speaks in an excited voice as if possessed by something.
Looking at it, Kang Ah-rang took a step back without realizing it.
‘… no.’
focus on strength
It is certainly an idea her mother values most.
But… It wasn’t like this.
‘I don’t know anything else… My sister and I are very dear to each other. Even if I die and wake up, I won’t proceed with hurting my family.’
Kang Ah-rang opened her mouth with trembling eyes.
“… You, the mother I know… that’s right?”
“… … ”
Kang Yoo-ram slowly looks back.
He looked at her with unfocused eyes that contained no emotion.
Only then did Kang Ah-rang realize.
That something was seriously wrong, the woman in front of me… That she was a different being than the mother she knew.
“… Now, excuse me.”
Kang A-rang goes outside with a nod of goodbye.
Kang Yoo-ram stared at the door she left for a long time.
“Is this right?”
Eventually, she opens her mouth to empty space.
In common sense, there is no way someone would answer, but surprisingly, there was someone who did.
“Of course.”
A bright and clear voice.
It was the voice of a woman so beautiful that I wondered if an angel would open her mouth.
Soon after, the air parted and a woman dressed as a nun stepped out of it.
She wears an inverted cross around her neck.
Pure white long hair, white eyebrows, dead eyes without focus.
The woman with characteristics that could be misunderstood as Allen’s saintess opened her mouth with a grin.
“You are doing very well. Mrs. Kang Yoo-ram. All of this is for my one remaining daughter.”
“one… left… ”
“of course. Surely you wouldn’t let your second daughter fall into the temptations and weaknesses around you like the first? It shouldn’t be like that. That’s not salvation in the true sense of the word, and it’s not a mother’s business.”
“… mother… what to do… ”
“Yes, do it all with your own hands. And show her. That this is great love… ”
A nun spreading both hands.
There was madness in her eyes with a pink aura full of love.
“love… parent’s… ”
Kang Yoo-ram mumbled blankly.
The nun slowly approached her and muttered in a low voice,
“of course. And finally, for our Mantiswump. Joining hands with us will be a great strength for Arang Kang in the near future. Trust me. As much as you love that child more than anyone else, we will do our best to create the best reign.”
“… Yes, you are right.”
Kang Yoo-ram muttered with unfocused eyes.
The nun looked at her and smiled softly with an angelic face.
that buck that buck
Kang Ah-rang walked aimlessly down the long hallway. Without thinking of any other destination, I just kept walking.
Eventually, he entered an empty room and quietly stroked his chest.
she was sure
‘Yoo Si-woo was right.’
As he said, an unknown being was reaching out to his mother and reign.
‘… recent… Didn’t I say it was an acquaintance and a group?’
The Ernel Academy system has had an impregnable protection system for 150 years.
Beyond simply hacking it, if it’s enough to reproduce even unrecorded characters… It is said that they are not ordinary guys.
‘That’s not all. Even if her mother can’t do it, she’s a hero of the upper class. He was the one who played an active role as the main tank who defended his allies by running with his feet on the front line. It has such a strong resistance.’
It was said that there was also a powerful spiritual awakening person who could brainwash her without causing much commotion.
Kang A-rang, who barely calms his trembling heart.
She clenched her teeth at her own weakness, which weakened in a crisis.
‘Calm down, Kanga and… At this rate, it’s like proving that he’s a glass mental, just like Yu Si-woo said.’
After thinking about it, she entered the number of ‘Yoo Si-woo’ recorded on her phone.
Tooru… rattle.
-… ? with Kanga? what’s the matter.-
his voice heard.
As soon as I heard it, my promise to myself collapsed to the point of being colorless.
“… ”
-If you call, answer… –
“Help me.”
-… … –
“Help me. Siwoo Yoo… please.”
-Let’s meet and talk. I don’t know what’s going on, but don’t worry. I’ll do something for you.-
Soon, the phone cut off.
In the end, I let out a weak sound and only myself.
She clenched her teeth at her own weakness and tightly gripped the phone she was holding.
