Chapter 169
There, sitting by Chi-Woo’s bed, was the brother he had desperately sought, and he finally acco up fro that was difficult to explain For a moment, he simply stood there in disbelief before he lay back down and threw the blanket over hi back to sleep
Chi-Woo heard Chi-Hyun let out an exasperated scoff Then his brother asked hi?”
“What?” Chi-Woo asked with his face buried in his pillow “You told o when I visited you earlier Isn’t that what you did?” Chi-Hyun replied If Noel Freya had been here, she would have exclaimed, surprised that Chi-Hyun could show his emotions so candidly Chi-Hyun looked at Chi-Woo like he couldn’t believe it and scoffed again, followed by a stretched-out sigh
After so soot up Chi-Hyun was sitting in the chair like before Chi-Woo had thought Chi-Hyun must have kicked him, but it seemed his brother had used some special skill
“Sit” It was a cold command
Chi-Woo was bothered by Chi-Hyun’s tone but obediently ot his reunion, but for soh
“Uhed and sat in the chair in front of Chi-Hyun
“Well, I guess… I should say hi?” Chi-Woo raised his hand with a smile, but his smile dropped when he saw the look on Chi-Hyun’s face
“…”
Chi-Hyun was staring at Chi-Woo intently with his head slightly bowed The light e from his eyes crackled like a forest fire that burned up agaze It hadn’t been his ier since theirThe little drowsiness that remained in him evaporated in an instant, and Chi-Woo came to his senses
“Uh…Brother” Chi-Woo spoke first again in an aard voice “Yeah…so I know you must be really surprised I can understand why you could be angry too”
Chi-Hyun’s thick eyebroiggled
“But…” As his throat dried up, Chi-Woo licked his lips “Hear me out first I also had my reasons—”
Baotten up abruptly and slammed his fist onto the old table, which split into two and shattered into tiny pieces Now his hand was tree overflowed from Chi-Hyun’s entire body; it see to contain his eether He felt like he shouldn’t speak rashly any period of silence followed, and Chi-Hyun sat back in his chair again
“I hoped it wasn’t you,” he then said “Since I saw you and while ere co I waselse Chi-Woo blankly stared at the broken pieces on the floor A chilling voice continued to pierce his ears
“Okay Letyour reasons once”
By this point, Chi-Woo realized that his brother had absolutely no intention to understand him Even his declaration to hear Chi-Woo out was in order to learn the process that led Chi-Woo here It was clear Chi-Hyun wouldn’t accept any of Chi-Woo’s reasons Still, it wasn’t as if Chi-Woo could keep silent Thus, he forcefully parted his heavy lips
“…I met Giant Fist Out of nowhere, he told , and that I came from a family of heroes”
“What?” Chi-Hyun responded sharply even though Chi-Woo hadn’t said much “That damn bastard, Giant Fist…he finally did it…wait” Chi-Hyun stopped himself to ask, “Shouldn’t there have been oneGiant Fist told me that I was the one with the authority and I should use it”
Chi-Hyun breathed out his thousandth sigh and raked through his hair with both hands
“Authority…fine But you shouldn’t have been able to enter the Celestial Realuel tried to deport me as soon as she saw me on your orders”
“…What happened?”
“After that…honestly, I don’t really remember”
“What?”
“No, it’s true” Chi-Woo quickly added as Chi-Hyun looked doubtful
“When I opened uel was beside el Raphael came and…as it? She said so they could do At least, that’s what I think I heard”
Chi-Hyun fell deep in thought Then his face scrunched up ‘No way’
After a while, Chi-Hyun spoke up again exasperatedly “What happened then? Did Giant Fist just drop you here?”
“He didn’t… We caether since we both passed the test”
“Giant Fist also passed the test? Then why haven’t I seen hiround “To restore Goddess Shahnaz…he gave hiside Ms Mua Janya”
Chi-Hyun was speechless; the one who acted on his own and caused all this had just died In the end, he clenched his eyes shut He didn’t hear all the details, but he could eneral situation
“Why?” Chi-Hyun looked up at the ceiling “Why in the world…!” Worries and exasperations overtook him in turns, evidenced by the way his voice fluctuated
“I wanted to knohy you disappeared,” Chi-Woo said carefully
“…”
“And why Moone”
“…What about our parents?” Chi-Hyun responded nonchalantly
“They never thought about searching for you even when you disappeared They siy”
“That’s only expected”
“?”
“Since there’s a blank in their memories”
Chi-Woo doubted his ear “What did you just say? Are you saying that their etting erased, it’s more accurate to say it was manipulated,” Chi-Hyun said calmly “Memories of their decades of heroic activities were replaced with fabricated e”
Chi-Woo’s jaw dropped “Why…”
“That’s what I wanted for them, and our parents accepted my request”
Chi-Woo couldn’t understand his brother’s words at all Thus, he asked again, “But why?”
“Our parents retired and wanted you—” Chi-Hyun was about to say soulp, he said, “They wanted you to live a noro as far as ed to blurt out
“Think for a bit” Chi-Hyun frowned “Hoould both of our parents stay on Earth in peace when both of us are here? They wanted to live a new life after retiring”
