Chapter 33: Female President (9) (2/2)
“They’re different”
“They’re worshi+pping different Gods…” Ru Aer problem at hand?”
“Yeah They both stated that Liber had ended up like this because their main God deserted them But their views, interpretations, and beliefs are different” Zelit clutched his hands “Of course, it’s not strange for separate groups to collaborate together in a situation like this, but…” In the , he turned towards Chi-Woo, “But then, why did the natives from the previous camp not reveal your achievements to the main camp?”
“…”
“Since you defeated not just a cursed one but two broken ones, there should be some reaction by now”
However, since there was no special reaction from the main camp, it meant that Eshnunna still didn’t know about Chi-Woo’s feat, and the Shahnaz ca it a secret
“I think there are circumstances we don’t know about between the main camp and the previous camp”
“Now that I think about it, sir, one person from the previous camp did follow us to the main camp” Ru A a favor froe here to take her in, but once we reached theforced to follow us… It see us because she had no other option”
“I agree But I think it’s still too early to try to contact her right away We have to think about if we’re being spied on, and we can’t trust her yet”
“Yes, that’s true”
“If we could find a person we can trust, we’ll be able to expand our search, but…” While talking, Zelit glanced at Chi-Woo; Chi-Woo was quietly looking at the floor “…This is just hed and continued, “It’s not because of anything she did There’s just so specific, but it’s hard to trust her” Moreover, she ay too relaxed and considerate if she truly wanted to overcoh, she was also hardworking and passionate, so it didn’t seeiven up
“It feels like her side is one-sidedly closing us off”
“Didn’t she show her trust in us by revealing the shrine’s secret?”
“No Actually, it was then that I became certain”
“But her words made sense”
“Yes, and that is the problem” Zelit was fir us to believe that she couldn’t help but put her trust in us”
“You’re saying that she was playing it by ear and leading us on”
“Yeah Think about it Has Eshnunna ever told us that she trusted us? At most she had said that she wanted to trust us, or that she was in a situation where she had no choice but to trust us” Thus, in other words— “Shethat we don’t know about”
Silence fell upon them Ru Amuh looked troubled as he had his mouth shut But in the end, he continued with a bitter s She said that they were asking forgiveness from God…It’s not a bad idea, but it also made me think why they would need us in that case”
Then Ru A Giant Fist and Rising was”
“About that” Zelit hesitated, sing dohat he was originally going to say “…I don’t know” He froith uncertainty but continued, “His behavior is suspicious, but as you knoitnessed his actions firsthand”
“Yes, that’s true”
“Anyway I see it, it was Gripping Giant Fist and Rising’s fault Eshnunna had no fault in this case”
Ru Amuh tilted his head in confusion “Then why did he…”
“Het to that, I think I’m not the only one suspicious of Eshnunna” Zelit looked towards him “Aren’t you also suspicious of her?”
“Haha… I was planning to keep observing for the ” Ru A his suspicions anymore
“Yeah, you say that, but you made it too obvious When Ru Hiana was about to talk about his achievements, you purposely intervened and cut her off”
“Ah You noticed then already?”
“I only beca to the main camp Ru Hiana hasn’t said a word about that since our arrival here It’s probably the same for Eval Sevaru I don’t knohat he’s up to these days, though”
“Yes I made sure that she won’t speak a word about it any so rashly that tied that it’d be better to just observe the situation first before revealing information about you And you seemed to want to keep it a secret…”
Chi-Woo was speechless Ru Amuh hadn’t acted like that because of Ru Hiana? It wasn’t because of jealousy It was all for hi Giant Fist and Rising ht have purposely acted out like that”
“Yes, even more so because Sir Chi-Hyun was the one who specifically brought hie”
“Yeah Even though I heard that he’s rash, he’s a hero that Chi-Hyun of all people took interest in A all the heroes that went around with Chi-Hyun, there hasn’t been a single hero as known to be problematic”
Chi-Woo unexpectantly heard his brother’s naht that Zelit’s reasoning for Giant Fist’s innocence eak, he didn’t carelessly co about his brother as a hero
“There’s only one difference between his, while Giant Fist has h all of Zelit’s words were all speculations, there were ht about “It would be reasonable to say that’s the reason why he becaht”
It was shocking No, Chi-Woo was more than shocked—he felt chills run down his spine
“No matter how much I think about it, the situation is full of contradictions”
But Zelit wasn’t the only one dishi+ng out chilling speculations
It was Ru Amuh as well “It doesn’tabout to some extent”
Giant Fist, Shahnaz Hawa, Sale under a veil
“Why did he decide to act out like that? For what reason? For what purpose?”
They had all been standing on a stage and acting withan entirely oblivious Chi-Woo
