Team: HH, Yahiko, thursdays (5/10)
“Aigo. You don’t have to go this far to help me.”
“It’s nothing. I’m doing it because I want to.”
The old man smiled warmly and looked at the young boy who carried his load for him.
“I don’t know whose son you are, but your parents must be very proud of you.”
“Thank you.”
The young boy scratched the back of his head and began to climb the incline with the old man. A sad expression flashed across his face, but he quickly smiled again.
The shadow watching from far away became emotional.
After becoming Yeon-woo’s subordinate, he had been busy trying to regain his strength and helping Yeon-woo that he didn’t have the time to worry about his son.
It was partly because it seemed like Yeon-woo was taking care of his son like he had promised.

But seeing it with his own eyes made him feel relieved.
He heard that he had quit drugs and was working at a general store to earn a small living.
After following him around all day, it looked like he really was living a diligent lifestyle.
The way he treated customers nicely when selling items and helped people on the road from time to time was different from the son he knew.
For a moment, Hanryeong wondered if he had found the right person.
He also thought that his son might have been acting like that only in the day and doing something else at night, but that didn’t seem to be the case either.
He really had turned over into a new leaf.
He didn’t have the competence as a player, but he was still acting like a human.
What had Yeon-woo done to his son?

The thought suddenly occurred to him, but he shook his head.
‘It could’ve been that I raised him improperly.’
Hanryeong did everything he could for Hanbin, but he wasn’t there when Hanbin needed him the most. These things could’ve been what made Hanbin like that in the past.
Of course, that didn’t excuse what Hanbin did.
Many people were hurt by him, and the 16th floor was nearly destroyed.
But after seeing how his son had changed, he felt his head become clearer.
‘Faceless…..’
Hanryeong thought of when he met Faceless at the Monkey King’s palace.
-Huhu! I didn’t think I’d meet you here! My dear friend!

That wasn’t Faceless.
Faceless had many faces, but the one who appeared was someone whom he thought was dead or near dead.
‘Sword God.’
Hanryeong clenched his fists.
‘I wondered where you were hiding all this time…..’
Faceless was included as a part of the Six New Stars, but he was a player who had been in the Tower for quite a bit.
He was pretty famous for his acts, but he wasn’t very popular because he wasn’t that skilled.
After Red Dragon suddenly toppled, he had been on the rise with all the changes in the Tower.
The Sword God was Faceless.

No, to be exact, he was disguised as Faceless.
‘He probably swallowed him. The real Faceless.’
The Sword God was crazy about martial arts, but he hadn’t completely ignored other skills. It made sense if he used other methods and arts to avoid the eyes of those who were looking for him.
However, if there was a problem, it was that…..
‘He wasn’t just one person.’
As a Death Noble, he knew.
There were many souls other than the Sword God in Faceless. It was problematic that he knew most of them.
‘Mubyeol, Cadik, Heebaeksul, Sey, Tyler….. And even Flang.’
They were all subordinates who had been ready to give their lives for the Sword God at any moment. They were the “sword” that allowed Cheonghwado to be in the Eight Large Clans.

All of them were with the Sword God.
And one of them was someone he never would’ve imagined.
Flang. The Martial King’s younger brother and one of the founders of Cheonghwado.
There were other souls as well, but most of them were from Cheonghwado.
Faceless was a walking Cheonghwado.
However, because there were too many souls in one body, the body wasn’t able to do its unique function.
It creaked with just a little movement, and the dominant personality changed frequently.
But Hanryeong thought that Faceless would be able to overcome those constraints and become full again.
No, he might even reach a higher peak than the Sword God had.

He would be able to process the thoughts of many people at once.
Most of all, the Sword God Hanryeong knew never crumbled in front of an obstacle and forced himself forward.
That was how he was able to go from being unable to speak to one of the Nine Kings.
-I’ll see you next time if fate allows us.
Faceless aided Hanryeong before the cave collapsed.
And until now, Hanryeong felt frustrated and uncomfortable.
Even if he went back, he would do the same thing.
But even so, everything was because of him.
He had already told Yeon-woo everything he knew about Faceless.

Yeon-woo firmly said Hanryeong didn’t need to worry about anything, but he still felt uncomfortable.
Since Faceless saw that he was with Yeon-woo now, unless Faceless was a fool, he’d know who had destroyed Cheonghwado.
『Hanryeong, where are you?』
Just then, he heard Yeon-woo’s voice through their connection.
It seemed it was time to go back.
After replying that he’d return, he looked at his son for a while and disappeared into the shadows.
“…..Hm?”
Hanbin paused and looked around. He had definitely felt something familiar.
“What’s wrong?”

“N, Nothing. Let’s continue.”
Hanbin shook his head and began to walk with the old man again.

“Uncle! Are you going to work again?! No fair!”
Yeon-woo held the whining Sesha high up into the air.
“I’ll be back soon.”
