Chapter 27 – Beefing Up (3)

”You woke up pretty early”
Hearing Chang Sung Hoon talk to hi around Kim Tae Hoon came to a stop in front of him
”I couldn’t sleep”
”······Was it because of the vision?”
The arrow that had stoppedfell onto the floor His concentration had been interrupted
”Ah, I’ unnecessary······”
Kis when he apologized
'Boss is a human after all'
He had foreseen his death in the days to come It was basically a death sentence
It was impossible for his heart to be calm
As always, instead of replying immediately, Kim Tae Hoon took a sip of his coffee as he calmly eyed the arrow that had fallen onto the floor
Seuuuu!
The arroly began to rise into the air again
The arrow began to orbit around Kiain
Soo, soo······
The arrow that cut through the air wasn’t quite sh once it left kim Tae Hoon’s vision
”Please don’t dwell too heavily on it Now that you knoill happen in the future, all that’s left is to avoid it right?”
Chang Sung Hoon relayed his thoughts to Kim Tae Hoon
Kiested his coffee
”The problem is that I don’t quite knohat it is that I need to avoid”
”Hmm”
Kim Tae Hoon’s voice was solemn
Chang Sung Hoon sed the joke he was going to e the mood
Looking at Ki Hoon took a seat near Kim Tae Hoon
Jeujuk, Jeujuk!
Noticing a bundle of twisted branches on the floor, Chang Sung Hoon carefully opened his mouth
”Was I really the only one? Were Hyun Wook, Second Lieutenant Su Ji, and Sun Mi-noonim not by your side?”
”I wouldn’t hide anything like that Do you think I would lie?”
”No, it’s not like that······ I didn’t think that I would be so loyal towards boss”
Kim Tae Hoon also nodded his head
Chang Sung Hoon wasn’t the type of guy to give his loyalty to anyone He was the kind of guy as quick to abandon loyalty in favor of his own interests
That was also why he had decided to follow Kim Tae Hoon
Kim Tae Hoon’s demise was to be determined by the hands of others, so to follow so Hoon could find no opportunities to follow such a fated person
”Well then there’s one thing for sure”
After all, it was sos must have happened
”If the two of us had gotten so close, then that ether I feel like soine what kind of huge incident had occurred for e like that”
Ki
”Oh, this is after all just ination”
Like that, Kim Tae Hoon enjoyed his coffee while the conversation turned to silence
”For now, the way I see it, boss will basically beco······ maybe your personality will become like one”
Chang Sung Hoon spoke what he had beento say
”For nohen you fostered me like that, why did I leave boss for dead? There are ti will kill When the hunt is over, they can eat But boss, you said that at the end, you were fighting a dragon? Then doesn’t that mean that there are still monsters?”
Ki Hoon
”Let eniuses There are many people ould rather h they are inal creator But do you knohy there are people like that ould rather act in the shadows? Maybe their personality sucks, or they have to face soenius, but whatever side I’m on, once the enemy is defeated, I’ll just be throay That’s the kind of place I lived in”
Gulp
Kim Tae Hoon sed more coffee and spoke in a low voice
”So taking your analysis into consideration, the foremost reason why I’ll die is because ?”
”Ah, what······ if boss’s personality was better, then the chances of you dying would decrease”
With an aard s his hands
There was one thing that Kiesture
'Now I knohy this punk stood by my side until the very end'
The reason why Chang Sung Hoon had stayed by his side and Kim Tae Hoon had allowed him to, in the end, it was so that he could survive [TN: I just want to apologize for the quality of the translation of that conversation It was fairly difficult for , so I think that s were lost in translation]
Chang Sung Hoon held that kind of worth
Others had good vision, the ability to express themselves clearly, and held different perspectives
Clever, competent
Anyways, because of that, Ki
'If I don’t change '
With his personality, it was easy for Ki anyone over to his side
To be fair though, his personality hadn’t really made any problems for him until now
Up until now, Ki for the military, where there was no real need for him to pick a side or form a faction The military was a place where everyone wore the same uniform
But it wasn’t the same now
KimTae Hoon had already left the military on his own
'I was almost completely oblivious'
What was terrifying was that he was not self-aware
”Chang Sung Hoon, if you were me, ould you do?”
Like that Kiht then and there
”If I had boss’s strength and boss’s charis of Bucheon City”
Chang Sung Hoon laughed while saying so
”Of course I’ I don’t actually mean it”
A laughter with some mischief mixed in
”But seriously though, I think that if I had boss’s strength, I wouldn’t facepeople and , then in time, people ould want to hunt for you and treat you like a king would naturally flock to you, especially since you also have guns But of course there’s no reason to do so But I think most people would?”
However, his laughter wasn’t purely playful
”Even if they ht not measure up to boss, there will definitely be people like boss out there You said that the awakened have different ability ranks when they first awaken? Plus, if you take into consideration the relics······”
Hureed
They have strength, they will awaken to supernatural powers, and since a stage where they can exhibit those powers had appeared, humans had no reason to act as they did before
”Those with strength will rise to power, and they will rule over and preside over their own territories Some will be wise, others will be tyrannical”
In fact, the Republic of Korea has already collapsed
The world where people would risk their lives to leave Seoul and go to Sejong city has come
Hearing that, Kim Tae Hoon recalled Colonel Lim Hyun Joon in his mind
Kio to Pocheon and make contact with Colonel Lim Hyun Joon
But could you still consider Colonel Lim Hyun Joon to be a soldier?
'Colonel Lim Hyun Joon is ambitious'
He was ambitious
In such a situation, nobody could afford to be a loyal soldier and think of someone else He was able to become the commander-in-chief because he was ambitious
'If I were to '
Ki on the floor
”Do you like coffee?”
