Chapter 37 (1/2)

Rage

The residence of the Order’s leader was one of the biggest buildings in the Beloong City

Aat fishes in the pond He said,

“Ho-Gwang”

Ho-Gwang stayed silent

He didn’t look like an unwieldy little son rebelling against his father His silence was just that he was choking on fear and could not speak

“Ho-Gwang”

“… Y … Yes”

Ho-Gwang stuttered because he was nervous Ho-Gyeong, the leader of the Order, said with a dry voice,

“I always thought the world of you ever since ere in the lower dimension”

“… Yes”

At least to his son, Ho-Gyeong always had a kind tone of voice, but it was different this ti continued,

“Back in those days, your so called big brothers were such embarrassments for me They were born into my bloodline, yet their talents in martial arts were at pathetic levels Even when they were criticized by others right in front ofback It was such a shame”

Actually, back in those days, Ho-Gwang’s other brothers did have growth rates not far behind the rates of rising talents in other factions, but that was all they could accomplish

To Ho-Gyoung’s standard, they were ordinary and unacceptable talents

“On the other hand, you were different In the lower dimension, there was no body that could even be compared to you Even when you arrived here, you did not disappointtrainings You grew and reached the Zenith-Rate at a rapid pace It was enough to h that I would have acknowledged you even if you were not my son”

“…”

“As ed you and cared for you, I did not liant or that you rely on your father’s influence too much, but I didn’t care about such complaints It was because you are a Zenith-Rate swordse before even reaching 150 You had the right to be arrogant I always believed that you would only bring ht that you would taint it”

Having said askept silent for a moment

The pressure felt greater than facing animosities fro Ho-Gwang break cold sweat all over the body like rain

The , it felt as long as one year

Ho-Gyoung eventually opened his mouth and spoke

“This isn’t even being defeated in a duel You got smacked on the back of your head?”

“That … that is!”

The aura rising froh to be visible Ho-Gwang was about to say so, but he could not

Having seen Ho-Gyoung’s enraged face, Ho-Gwang realized there is no excuse that would work in this situation

Gulp

Ho-Gwang sed a dry gulp His entire body was shi+vering like a fragile tree in the wind

His father was not showing his usual fatherly de was the other side of Ho-Gyoung, the rasp

All Ho-Gwang could do was to iveness

“… Get going”

“Father”

“Go Go to the south eneral asseht away”

“… Yes I understand”

As Ho-Gyoung watched his son stepping away quietly, he fell in to a deep thought

‘He suffered a disgrace by a rookie who had been in here for less than 5 years’

Part of Ho-Gyoung’s face between his eyebrorinkled

Ho-Gwang had an incredible talent His talent was inco City

Ho-Gwang reached Zenith-Rate in less than 100 years when Ho-Gyoung took 150 years to get that far Not counting The Six, nobody would have questioned if Ho-Gwang was to be clai City

Despite his long years of experience in Asgard, and despite having seen all sorts of things throughout those years, Ho-Gyoung still could not believe that Ho-Gwang was defeated by a total newbie that just got his na

He could only i that he had not been in Asgard as long

‘So, have they appeared? Graduate candidates…’

These deies were not allowed to achieve

Instead of going up thousands of steps through a hard work over several hundred years, these reached Act 2 in devilish growth rate with a few giant-like leaps

Once in a long while, these beings, as if they are of different species, appeared in Beloong City They possessed a talents that could not be contained inside Act 1

For those that were definitely talented enough to leave Act 1, people called theraduate candidates

Also, looking at what has happened so far, it becaraduate candidates

Since Ho-Gwang never had encountered such beings in his life, the situation was just that he was unlucky Considering the unusual situation, it would be wrong to fault Ho-Gwang for challenging Vulcan since he had no way of knowing the consequence

Because Ho-Gyoung are of this, he didn’t scold Ho-Gwang too harshly

He blew steams out at his son because there was no way to recover from the embarrassment

‘When it coood, but the better way is to not buy grudge from them in the first place …’

The graduate candidates were not going to be in this place for long anyway

If Ho-Gyoung tried to kill them because he considered thehtening in raduate candidates could turn into invincible beings at an instant, the kind of warrior never seen in Act 1

To exaggerate a little, these bastards were the kind that could reach a new height by just watching leaves fall

It was best to forego the thoughts about pestering them and just send them to the next Act

‘However, we already had a bad incident’

The Order lost face froraduate candidates

However, even with possibilities in one in ten thousand, various possible here things could go wrong concerned Ho-Gyoung

This caused his worries to deepen

At thatfrohts

“My lord, it’s Lee Jung-yup”

“Ah, senior officer”

Ho-Gyoung nodded and welco asked him in a quiet voice,

“So, is the preparation for the proxy duel going well?”

“Yes It’s going without any problems”

“That’s good At least I won’t have to worry about being humiliated in the duel”

Looking at Lee Jung-yupfeel he could really depend on thesmiled faintly

Even a year ago, Ho-Gyoung had a quarrel with Bellon and had to do a proxy duel The outco victory for the Order of Virtue who sent out Lee Jung-yup as the fighter

He was not in the Golden Ranking back then only because people were not aware of his ascension to a new height after an enlightenh to be in top ten of the Golden Ranking

This ti out a hidden talent as well

‘Since he is above Ho-Gwang, nobody frohter’

Ho-Gyoung was enduring headache until now, but it felt like the pain was subsiding a little
