Chapter 19 Black Route (8) (1/2)
Not to mention their sudden appearance, they were now telling Yeon-woo to join their team.
Yeon-woo’s eyes scrutinized Kahn with an expression that asked what kind of man he was.
Doyle nudged Kahn in the ribs with his elbow.
“Ow! Why?”
“Stop doing that. Don’t you ever feel ashamed?”
“Of what?”
Kahn had a puzzled look, not knowing what he had done.
As Doyle let out a deep sigh, Yeon-woo considered they were no longer worth talking to, so he just walked past Kahn and Doyle while fixing his backpack’s position.
“Hey, dude! Where are you going! We’re not done talking yet!”
Kahn held Yeon-woo in a hurry.

Yeon-woo stopped and looked back.
“What? Did you have anything left to say?”
“You haven’t given an answer. I want you to join my team!”
Yeon-woo gave a little snort. He didn’t want to speak with this fool anymore, but he still replied indifferently.
“Negative.”
“Why?”
“I have no idea what you guys are up to, and I don’t see any advantages in teaming up with you.”
Kahn looked genuinely surprised.
“Wait, you don’t know me?”
“No.”

“What? Why?”
He was talking as if it was something very obvious.
“But… How? You really don’t know me? I mean, it’s me! How can you not recognize me? I’m, like, the biggest star in the tutorial!”
Kahn was making a fuss over Yeon-woo’s reaction as if he had gone through something incomprehensible.
By this time, Yeon-woo’s indifferent expression was slowly being replaced with anger. Doyle watched Yeon-woo’s reaction and thought that, at this rate, they might actually end up with nothing.
So he decided to come forward and spoke to Yeon-woo in a polite tone.
“I apologize if we have offended you. My brother is very passionate about himself, so he tends to be self-absorbed and act a little foolish, and it sometimes becomes really exhausting to talk with him. But he’s not a bad person, so I hope you understand.”
Kahn had a look on his face asking what he’d done wrong, but as Doyle glowered at him, he shut his mouth tight.
The younger one sounded much smarter than his brother.
Yeon-woo nodded as he looked at Doyle, thinking they could now carry on with the conversation.

“I’m listening, but make it short.”
“We’ll introduce ourselves. I’m Doyle, and this foolish one over here is my brother, Kahn.”
“Doyle? Kahn?”
Their names were familiar to Yeon-woo.
“Tutorial ranking 11th and 3rd?”
Doyle smiled timidly.
“It’s a little embarrassing if you put it like that.”
Under the mask, Yeon-woo looked a little surprised.
Kahn was in third place and Doyle was in eleventh place. They were among the top-ranked players.
But why were the rankers, who should be way ahead of him, in a place like this? For a minute, he thought about the possibility of them being frauds.

“Well, I understand your doubt upon our presence here. You may be thinking we should be around Section E or F….”
“No. I believe you’re the Doyle and Kahn.”
“Huh? Really?”
Yeon-woo nodded his head in silence. Going by his earlier thought, they didn’t have a reason to lie to him.
If anything, Yeon-woo had a way to tell that they weren’t lying. It was his Draconic Eyes
He examined them through his skill.
It had recently come to his attention that when he examined living organisms with Draconic Eyes, those with negative or hostile thoughts seemed to have darker and more flaws compared to those with positive thoughts.
Based on this fact, Yeon-woo was able to make a rough guess in regards to people’s thoughts and emotions. It was also very helpful during monster hunts.
The flaws Kahn and Doyle had were relatively lighter in color. This meant they were telling the truth.
Yeon-woo asked with his arms crossed.

“So, why would players like you two, who should be busy clearing the tutorial and stacking up Karma, bother to return all the way back to this section and recruit a player like me?”
Doyle scratched his cheek with his finger.
He wanted to keep it secret, but after realizing that it would be hard to persuade Yeon-woo without sharing information, he decided to provide information to a certain extent.
He was prepared to subdue Yeon-woo if he were to pull any kind of nonsense.
“Before we get into this, I must ask you something.”
“What is it?”
“Do you belong to any team or clan?”
“No.”
Doyle’s face lit up at Yeon-woo’s response. Kahn also let out an ‘Oh’ in amazement.
“That’s great. In fact, there’s an artifact that we have to get from Section E, but we must have at least three or four members in our team.”

“You could have recruited someone from Section E.”
“By the time players reach the latter sections, they are usually already part of other teams or clans.”
Yeon-woo was starting to get a rough idea of their story.
