Episode 13 I’m Curious about the Lineage (4)
Kwon Ji-seok only put on a futile expression.
It was evident that he was having a hard time accepting the current situation. Even so, Gwon-wool had no intention of looking after Kwon Ji-seok.
He intended to thoroughly trample on Kwon Ji-seok’s offspring and give him oyster meat.
“Oh, and there are still debts between us to settle?”
“debt… … ?”
“Shouldn’t you apologize to me for your past mistakes?”
Kwon Ji-seok’s eyes gradually returned to life. No, it wasn’t liveliness, it was anger.
“You, you! you! Do you think you will be safe even if you do this to me?”
“That’s it, I’ll take care of it, so don’t worry about it.”
Gwonwool replied coldly.
“Please pray quickly. I’ll be on my knees at the moment, it’s nice to have less trouble.”
“This, you son of a b*tch!”
Kwon Ji-seok vented his anger. At that time, Joo Ha-yeon opened her mouth.
“Kwon Ji-seok, if you didn’t keep the promises you made and if this comes to the president’s ears, a big dislike will fall.”
“Ha, why is the story of my grandfather mentioned here!”
“I just meant to ask Kwon Ji-seok to think wisely.”
Kwon Ji-seok knelt down and trembled. Five fingers dug into the floor.
“I, I… … I’m Guo, Kwon Ji-seok… … .”
Kwon Ji-seok forced his mouth to move. Because of that, the words could not be properly completed and scattered into the air.
Even so, I couldn’t find the boredom on Kwon-ul’s face.
Quite the opposite.
Kwon Ji-seok, who had dismissed himself as the son of a traitor, is on his knees. He bows his head and apologizes.
From noble mtl dot com.
Something surged in my chest. It was a feeling he had never felt before, but Kwon-wool immediately realized it.
triumph.
Victory was won with one’s own hands, the enemy was subjugated, and the spoils were obtained.
The sense of victory felt in this situation inspired Kwon Kwon-ul.
“Guo, to Kwon-wool, all the things you’ve done so far… … apologies… … .”
The last words were about to be completed.
“I dare to say something to Kwon Han-ul!”
One of Kwon Ji-seok’s aides shouted.
“Kwon Ji-seok is a blood relative of the original family and a direct descendant of the head of the family, Kwon Seon-woo! This humiliating treatment is unacceptable!”
The face of the aide was full of resentment.
It wasn’t just to get points from Kwon Ji-seok, it was felt that he was genuinely angry at his master’s situation.
Kwon Ji-seok’s personality meant that he had an inbok even if he was half a dog.
But now, to Kwon-wool, the actions of his aides were nothing more than a mere hindrance.
“In terms of that, I am also a blood relative of the head family and a direct descendant of the head of the family.”
At Kwon-wool’s objection, the aide was speechless.
He was ridiculed for being the son of a traitor or for having blood of a lowly age, but considering his status, he is not the kind of person that a close relative of a branch family could dare to talk back to.
Still, the aide did not give up easily.
“Kwon Ji-seok is the second son of the current Vice Chairman Kwon Hyuk… … .”
“I can’t seem to grasp the atmosphere right now.”
Kwon Wol’s voice made me sharp.
“Since this is not the place for a family member to come out, shut up and get out of here.”
At Kwon-wool’s words, the face of the aide turned pale. He kept his mouth shut and never came out again.
It was a very different reaction from the blood relatives of the Bunga that I had seen so far. It was as if he was genuinely afraid of Kwon-wool.
Kwon Kwon-ul looked back at other blood relatives. Everyone was in a hurry to avert their gaze.
“her.”
Gwon-ul laughed briefly.
The only thing Kwon-wool gained by winning the bet with Kwon Ji-seok was not the end of the production materials.
authority.
An authority that could not be obtained even with true black dragon blood was created. The attitude of the branch family was the proof.
Kwon-wool’s gaze turned back to Kwon Ji-seok. He was looking at his entourage with a pitiful look on his face.
“I can’t hear anything. What are you doing?”
“That, that… … .”
“I can’t hear you well. Speak louder.”
“I, I, Kwon Ji-seok, owe to Guo and Kwon Kwon-ul, everything I have done so far… … apologies… … .”
Kwon Ji-seok shouted, closing his eyes tightly.
“… … I apologize!”
A feeling of victory spread throughout his body.
At that thrill, Kwon Wol’s mouth went up.
* * *
“Thanks to you, I had a very nice viewing.”
Park Tae-sik said while driving a small truck. Kwon Kwon-ul was in the passenger seat.
“Kwon Ji-seok’s personality isn’t an ordinary dirty guy, is he? But it was very good to see that you couldn’t even write one.”
Park Tae-sik laughed loudly. He was a really funny man.
“Besides, I got rare materials. This must taste like hammering.”
Currently, Kwon-wool was on his way to Park Tae-shik’s personal workshop.
Because it was a secret place, Park Tae-shik allowed only one person to enter.
There, they were planning to discuss in detail what kind of equipment they would make with the materials obtained from Kwon Ji-seok.
The reason for moving by small truck was to load all the materials obtained from Kwon Ji-seok.
“It is said that he has true black dragon blood, but he has great drive and guts. Indeed, that father and that child.”
At that word, Kwon-wool immediately looked back at Park Tae-shik.
“… … Do you know about my father?”
“You mean Kwon Chun? We’ve seen each other a few times.”
At those words, Kwon-wool felt his heart race.
“My father… … Who were you?”
“Shouldn’t you ask Ha-yeon?”
“The chairman gave a strict order to keep it confidential, but he didn’t answer.”
“airtight? No matter how much he does that to his son, Kwon Seon-woo has a small side to him.”
Calling the president of Heukcheon, who is said to bow down even to the head of state, by name.
The two seemed to have a very close relationship.
“I don’t know too much. The Heukcheon family never reveals their family circumstances to the outside world. I, who works at the Black Cloth Studio, is no exception.”
Kwon Kwon-ul couldn’t help but feel disappointed.
“Who was your father?”
“He was a genius among geniuses.”
Park Tae-sik spoke without hesitation.
“While working as a craftsman, I met a lot of hunters, but it was the first one like Kwon Cheon. I assure you, it must have been the best equipment the Heukcheon Group produced.”
It was the highest praise. It wasn’t even a story about himself, but Kwon-wool shrugged his shoulders for no reason.
“There was only one time I made equipment for a kid who hadn’t even had a debut match, and that was Kwon Chun. He didn’t pass the test like you, but his skills were that good.”
“You were a wonderful person.”
“It was great. Didn’t that guy even have his debut match in a platinum level dungeon?”
Gwonwool nodded.
“But at the same time, he might have been kicked out for his genius.”
And the next moment, I felt the blood in my whole body go cold.
“… … Are you getting kicked out?”
“Have you ever heard the name Kwon Chun come out of other people’s mouths?”
does not exist.
The other blood relatives of the Black Sky always make a name for themselves once or twice. Kwon Chun did not.
“Kwon Cheon made his debut and disappeared before he could even promote properly. Everyone says they ran away because they didn’t want to bear the name of the family, but… … The Kwon Chun I saw was a guy who took great pride in the Heuk Chun group.”
There’s no way a person like that would abandon his family name.
I don’t know if it’s abandoned.
“It is just my guess. But there’s nothing wrong with being careful. Moreover, if you find yourself in a troublesome situation.”
Although he worked as a father-in-law, Park Tae-sik was accurately guessing Kwon-wool’s situation as he was a manager.
While talking, I arrived at Park Tae-shik’s workshop.
Kwon Kwon-wool and Park Tae-sik unloaded all the ingredients from the truck.
“This is my personal workshop.”
When Park Tae-sik turned on the light, the interior was clearly visible. It was smaller in scale than the workshop I had seen before, but it had more contents.
Finished or in-progress equipment was scattered everywhere. Blue blades and flawless finishes. At first glance, it was an unusual piece of equipment.
Indeed, it was like Park Tae-shik’s personal workshop, which he calls a master.
“Even though Kwon Ji-seok is lacking, his knack for finding things is worth using. Where did you get these treasures from?”
Park Tae-sik was happy to see the iron box containing the ingredients. A craftsman is a craftsman, so it seems that his hands are itching to look at good ingredients.
“Quality is quality, but quantity is great. With this, you can make anything you want.”
“Please take good care of me.”
“As far as asking you well… … Shall we take your measurements first before discussing what to make?”
Park Tae-sik took a tape measure and brought it here and there to Kwon-wool.
After the work was over, I started thinking about something for a long time.
“hmm… … Same. Same.”
“What do you mean?”
Park Tae-shik went into the storage room of his personal workshop without answering. After hearing a loud noise for a long time, a cradle was brought.
A piece of black armor hung from the stand.
The moment I saw it, I couldn’t help but feel a shock like being struck by lightning.
The outer appearance of the armor was very similar to that of a dragon. The angular parts, such as the forearm and shoulder, were pointed, but the other parts were drawing smooth curves.
The appearance was great, but what shocked Kwon-ul was the huge magical power latent in the armor.
“Isn’t that great?”
Gwonwool nodded blankly.
“It not only protects, but also strengthens the hands and feet to maximize the destructive power of martial arts.”
Park Tae-shik’s pride did not stop.
“Besides, the central material is an amazing thing, so it has various functions, and you can use the ability of the monster that is the original material.”
At that point, it was clear that it was not Unique, but Legendary class.
“Among the things I’ve made so far, it’s probably on the top of my ten fingers. The material that is the center of that is also a great thing, and it took a lot of time.”
A masterpiece that the world’s best masters pride themselves on being among the top 10.
I didn’t even have to worry about how great it was worth.
“The problem is that this is an unfinished product.”
“Why didn’t you finish it?”
“There are two reasons. The first is that the orderer is already dead. But you don’t have to complete it. Because there is no one to use it, and there is no one to provide the materials.”
“Can I give it to someone else?”
“That is the biggest reason. Because it is a customized device, no one other than the orderer can use it because it does not fit.”
Custom-made can maximize the performance of the equipment because it is thoroughly tailored to the customer.
The problem is that no one other than the orderer can use it.
“But why did you show this to me?”
“Are you planning to complete this armor with the materials you obtained?”
“Didn’t you just say that? The size doesn’t fit, so I can’t use it except for the person who made it to order… … .”
“Do you know who ordered this armor? I am your father Kwon Cheon.”
I felt my body tremble.
“Is it a coincidence? I don’t know if it’s the power of genes, but you have the same body type as your father. That means you can wear this armor.”
It seemed that this was the reason why I was in trouble while taking measurements just now.
“There are also some ingredients I got from Kwon Ji-seok this time… … .”
Park Tae-sik asked Kwon-ul again.
“How about it, do you have any plans to complete this armor?”
