Episode 78: Conditional (1)
After completing the mission, Kwon Wol returned to the Heukcheon family.
I tried to take a break for a while, but unfortunately I couldn’t.
“Kwon Han-ul, the chairman told me to set aside time at 12:00 p.m.”
Just as I was about to rest at the mansion, Joo Ha-yeon suddenly delivered the news.
In that it was an order rather than a request, he was truly like Kwon Seon-wu.
“Chairman?”
“Yes, he asked me to have dinner with him.”
Gwonwool’s eyes blinked continuously.
I’ve met the chairman many times, but I’ve never had a meal with him until now.
“Why did you call me?”
“You seem to have a lot to say about this.”
Gwon-ul checked his watch. About an hour left until the appointment time.
“He said you could decline it if you were busy.”
“Well, they say there are so many boring empty words.”
Who would refuse the order of Kwon Seon-woo, the chairman of Heukcheon Group and the head of the Heukcheon family?
“It’s going to be tight even if I prepare from now on.”
It doesn’t take much time to get there since it’s within the main house anyway. However, when the president called, I couldn’t just go dressed casually.
Kwon-wool immediately called the servant and prepared to leave.
I put on a proper uniform and headed to the place the chairman called.
* * *
From noble mtl dot com.
The place where Kwon Seon-woo called Kwon-wool was the top of Mt. Oga near his home.
The whole mountain peak was cut and flattened, and a small tower was erected.
Gwon-ul stood on the top floor of the tower and looked out the window.
“and… … There was a place like this.”
The blue sky was clearly visible, and the sight of the mountain ranges lined up under my feet was spectacular.
Then, there was the sound of the door opening. Seonwoo Kwon entered with his bodyguards.
As soon as Seonwoo Kwon saw Kwonwool, he frowned and said,
“Don’t act without dignity.”
Kwon Kwon-wool felt unfair after hearing this.
“What do you think I did?”
“I must have been surprised while looking outside.”
When he got it right, Gwon-ul couldn’t show any regrets anymore.
“Sit down.”
Seonwoo Kwon pointed to the table.
It was the only table on this wide floor. If it was a normal restaurant, it would have been a very inefficient arrangement, but there was no problem here.
It was a place only for Seonwoo Kwon.
Gwonwool sat down at the table. After waiting for a while, the workers brought out the food.
Like the food prepared for the president, it made people’s stomachs shake from the smell.
However, Kwon Kwon-ul could not enjoy the taste of the food properly. It was because it was a meeting with the president.
“The clams have grown plump.”
However, the chairman just silently put the food in his mouth without saying anything.
“Why did you ask to see me?”
In the end, Gwon-ul, who could not stand it, asked. The chairman raised his eyebrows and looked at Kwon-wool.
“Are you always that impatient?”
“I am usually relaxed. I’m trying to be as quick as I can right now.”
“Ugly bastard. When others are eating, you have to wait patiently.”
Even while giving a scolding, the chairman put down the tableware.
“Good work on this job.”
Kwon-wool doubted his ears. How could praise come out of the president’s mouth so easily?
“I’m sorry… … Are you the president? Could it be that someone is in disguise?”
“Is this guy crazy? All of a sudden you’re talking bullsh*t.”
Judging from the fact that the verbal abuse came out casually, it seemed that the chairman was right.
Kwon Kwon-ul was even more confused. So, did the president really praise him?
“In addition to protecting Takamine Ryoko safely, I defeated the rockbreaker who betrayed the group, and won against Ferdrance… … To be honest, it exceeded my expectations.”
The chairman began tapping the table with his fingers.
“No, it would be more accurate to say that it was an unexpected achievement. I didn’t know you would kill Ferdrance.”
The president’s eyes softened slightly.
“It’s great, but it also raises questions. this is really… … I was wondering if it would be possible to say true blood.”
Kwon Kwon-wool was heartbroken.
“What do you think?”
Kwon Seon-woo’s two eyes stared at Kwon-ul. Gwon-ul said while trying to hide his true feelings.
“Didn’t you say that the Heukcheon family is the best in the world? Then, as a true blood person, can I not do this much?”
Did you think it made sense? Seonwoo Kwon nodded slightly.
“That’s right.”
“You’re not going to end it with words, are you?”
The president laughed at Kwon-wool’s appearance asking for compensation as if it were natural.
“Yes, you are right. You deserve a fair reward.”
“thank you.”
“I will keep the remarks open.”
At those words, Gwon-ul’s eyes widened.
“Go in with your teammates and bring each item you want.”
“… … Are you sure?”
“Since you defeated the villains of Pandaemonium, you deserve the price.”
In Heukcheon Vigo, all the treasures obtained by the Heukcheon family are asleep.
Not one person to recommend such a place, but even team members can use it.
It must have been a huge privilege.
“Do you have anything else to ask of me?”
Kwon Seon-woo even asked for compensation for this job without ending it with the use of Vigo.
“Yes, there is.”
“Tell me.”
Kwon Kwon-ul took out a piece of paper and held it out to Kwon Seon-woo as if he had been waiting.
“What is this?”
“I want you to get the medicinal materials there.”
Seonwoo Kwon began reading the contents of the paper. As time passed, the gap between the eyebrows narrowed.
“At the root of the solar plant, the petals of the ice flower… … In the fruit of mandrake… … .”
Seonwoo Kwon took his eyes off the paper and looked at Kwon Wool.
“Have you turned around?”
It was an expected reaction, so Kwon-ul was not surprised.
The medicines written on the paper did not have the effect of upgrading their abilities.
But rejuvenating the body or restoring the damaged brain, etc.
Because it has a very rare effect, it was traded at a very high price.
If you add all the prices together, it was burdensome even for the Heukcheon group.
“Are you thinking of asking the Takamine family to metamorphosis?”
“How else did you know that?”
“How can you sit here without knowing that much information?”
Kwon Seon-wu said it insignificantly, but Kwon Kwon-ul had to feel the horror.
It is a technique that the Takamine family has only recently managed to come up with. Even within the Takamine family, few people know.
However, Kwon Seon-woo was aware of the list of medicinal herbs as if it were natural.
“Hangulkal metastasis… … Not bad. Not all of the best have ever experienced a metamorphosis, but those who have experienced a metamorphosis have all become the best.”
Seonwoo Kwon said after much thought.
“There is nothing I can’t deliver.”
“Are you sure?”
“Instead, there are conditions. Hand over all the poison you got from Ferdrance.”
“Where are you going to use it?”
“Do you think it is easy to obtain such a powerful poison? Having it helps a lot in many ways.”
The conditions were not difficult. Even if Gwonwool had it, it was useless anyway.
“Lastly, increase the reputation of the Black Sky. Then don’t hand it over.”
“yes?”
Kwon-wool frowned and asked again. The conditions were too ambiguous. Do you want to make a name for yourself?
Did you notice Kwon-wool’s question? A strange smile appeared on Seonwoo Kwon’s face.
“Don’t worry. We’ve already found a way.”
At that time, one of the bodyguards whispered to Kwon Seon-woo. Seonwoo Kwon nodded and said.
“You have arrived at just the right time. Tell them you are coming soon.”
“All right.”
Even though there was still food left, Kwon Seon-wu stood up.
“let’s go. There is someone I need to meet.”
* * *
The place where Seonwoo Kwon took Kwon Wool was the reception room for entertaining guests.
Two people were already sitting inside. It was an old man and a young man.
When Seonwoo Kwon entered, both of them stood up and bowed their heads.
“Chairman, long time no see.”
Seonwoo Kwon shook hands with the old man. They seemed to be very close to each other.
“You worked hard to come a long way.”
“Good job. I forgot about that in the anticipation of being able to announce this important news.”
Seonwoo Kwon laughed out loud. After that, he said to Kwon-wool.
“Greetings. I am Abdul Rassad from the Rassad family.”
“My name is Gwon Gwon-ul.”
Gwon-ul said so and bowed his back. The old man, Abdul Rassad, chuckled.
“It’s not worth it, but it’s called Abdul Rassad, who is a top-class tuner in the Rassad family.”
On Kwon-wool’s face, questions about stretching appeared. It was because it was the first time he had heard of the Rasad family and the title of super tuner.
Fortunately, Kwon Seon-woo noticed Kwon-ul’s condition early on and explained it.
“The Rasad family is a family based in the Middle East and is the only neutral family in the world.”
“A neutral family?”
“No force must touch the Rasad family, and the Rasad family must not side with any particular family. There is no such agreement.”
It was truly an unprecedented agreement.
Kwon-wool looked at Abdul Rasad again with a surprised face. Abdul Rassad smiled silently.
“It’s not that great. It is thanks to the unique lineage of our family.”
“You are too humble. There are numerous hunters who have been helped by the tuners of the Rasad family.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
Abdul Rassad smiled brightly and said.
“If you don’t know much about our family, you probably don’t know about genius blood.”
“Unfortunately… … yes?”
Gwon-ul cried out in surprise.
“A genius blood?”
“hahahahaha, contrary to the name, it doesn’t really make you a genius. It is a lineage that allows others to know what they do not know by expanding their thinking.”
there is no way you don’t know It’s because it’s one of the bloodlines currently possessed by Kwon Kwon-ul.
It could be said to be an all-round lineage capable of expanding thinking as well as defending against mental attacks, as well as the structure of objects and the release of curses.
“If you have the power of genius blood, you can accurately grasp the condition of the hunters. For example, whether the body has developed in a balanced way. Are there any bad habits? These things.”
However, the genius blood that Abdul Rasad spoke of was a little different from what Kwon Wool knew.
“No matter how good a hunter is, he has at least one or two bad habits. We, the Rasad family, make it our business to identify and correct such problems.”
Correction of problems.
Listening to it like this, there was a side that was connected to the true (眞) genius blood owned by Kwon-ul.
To be precise, the lower abilities of the True Genius Blood were clear.
As Gwon-ul had already experienced, Jinhyeol had great powers that were incomparable to lower lineages.
“Even if you listen to the explanation, you won’t feel it. Let’s experience it for ourselves.”
Suddenly, Abdul Rassad’s face became serious.
I looked at Kwon-ul’s body with sharp eyes. Soon, surprise spread.
“… … This is amazing.”
“Are there any problems?”
“It is the opposite. It is spotless.”
As if he couldn’t believe it, Abdul Rassad looked at Kwon Wol’s body the whole time he was talking.
“The balance of the bones is perfect, and the muscles are evenly developed. I have never seen such a perfect body.”
Saying that, Abdul Rassad tilted his head.
“It is a strange thing. No matter how thorough a hunter is, there are bound to be one or two points where the mana is disturbed. Kwon Kwon-ul doesn’t see anything like that.”
It was the first time I had heard of it. But I guessed why.
The genius blood possessed by Kwon Kwon-wool is true blood. Maybe that’s why he’s corrected his bad habits without even realizing it.
“Ah, I made a mistake. It’s so amazing… … .”
Abdul Rasad couldn’t take his eyes off Kwon Wool until the end.
Then, Kwon Seon-woo asked him.
“Who is the young man next to you?”
Kwon Seon-woo’s gaze turned to the young man who came with Abdul Rasad.
“Meet the owner of the Dark Sky!”
The young man immediately knelt on the floor and said.
“My name is Stephen Babel.”
Even though I didn’t know the man’s name, Kwon Kwon-wool had heard of the surname Babel several times.
Babel family.
A family with a lineage of dragons called Dragon Heart Blood.
dragons and dragons.
Although they are separate creatures, they are the same in that they are dragons. Naturally, the Heukcheon family and the Babel family were often compared.
It was said that if the East had the Heukcheon family, the West had the Babel family.
The relationship between the two families could not be said to be very good.
“Babel?”
Seonwoo Kwon asked with a puzzled face.
“Why is the Babel family here?”
“I am enshrining you in the Babel family to ask Abdul Rassad to coordinate.”
“hmm.”
Seonwoo Kwon said while touching his chin.
“I didn’t intend to bring anyone from the Babel family here.”
One word from Kwon Seon-woo weighed heavily on the surroundings. Stephen Babel gulped.
The Black Chun family, who considered themselves the best, couldn’t be kind to the Babel family, who were considered the target of comparison. The same was true of the Babel family.
In other words, the relationship between the two families… … .
“A little unpleasant.”
It wasn’t bad enough to be bad.
Steven Babel broke out in a cold sweat. Soon after, Kwon Seon-woo reaped his life.
“It’s a joke.”
It wasn’t a joke to anyone. Being a member of the Babel family, it was obvious that he had lost his spirit for no reason.
“Anyway, this is also a valuable guest. Say hello.”
“Nice to meet you.”
Kwon-wool greeted him as if he had been waiting. Ever since I heard the name Babel, I had something I was aiming for.
“I am Kwon Han-ul.”
Gwonwool quickly held out his hand. Steven Babel looked at Kwon Seon-woo’s eyes and held his hand.
＜’???’ detects ‘Dragon Heart Blood’.＞
A message popped up.
