“…” Chi-Hyun’s eyes narrowed as he sensed another presence Meeting his gaze, Chi-Woo curved his lips into a ser brother Chi-Hyun kneould never s

“…darowled

—You crossed a line

A leisurely voice echoed

—Isn’t he the younger brother you’ve finally reunited with after a long ti you would treat hi brotherly moment

“Why didn’t you keep the promise?”

—Promise? Ah, yes, that promise

Chi-Woo snorted

—About the tribute… Well, it wasn’t a bad offer I got what I wanted in return

“Then why—”

—I simply waited This child was the one who made thehis hands on his chest and continuing firmly

—He came here of his oill Didn’t he tell you already?

—Don’t act so coldly He came all this way here for his only brother Why don’t you keep that in h!”

—Haha Calht between torn eneet to see either,” Chi-Hyun said with a growl and quietly steadied his breathing “Get out of my brother’s body and don’t ever coet sick like before

“What?”

—The foundation has already been established

After the radually subsided

—But it’s not perfect yet…

After the lingering voice faded, Chi-Woo’s eyes returned to normal

“…Huh?” Chi-Woo blinked and looked confused “Uh…wait…I’round looking clearly distressed, he still existed as a spirit However, Chi-Hyun was standing quietly with a frighteningly stiff expression Chi-Woo had no idea what had happened It felt as if his ht about it, he had lost a lot of his strength An aard silence stretched between them

“You don’t know…yeah, there’s no way you would know…” Chi-Hyun only began talking after a few s that are beyond mortals and can’t be solved by huh “You th as he continued, “You er think of me as your older brother It’s fine with me even if you hate or disown ained his senses He couldn’t just let Chi-Hyun go like this after finally ”

However, Chi-Hyun shook his head

Chi-Woo pleaded, “Listen to e even if I hear you out” That was a declaration of sorts, a declaration that Chi-Hyun was never going to change his h If I said more—”

“Wait! Wait! Wait a minute!”

Chi-Hyun marched toward the door and suddenly stopped to look over his shoulder “Shut up and stay quiet inside!” His angry cry roared in the secret cha out to his brother, shut hisfor a while come back to him He unconsciously clenched his fists This hat he hated about his brother Whenever he asked his brother so curious about useless things and go study

Chi-Hyun, who had been panting hard for a while, quietly took a deep breath “…You,” he glared at Chi-Woo and spat, “Should have never been born” That was the last thing he said before leaving

Baone But even then, Chi-Woo re words echoed in his ears, and he stood un with a blank face

On the other side of the door, Chi-Hyun was in a siainst the door and stared up at the ceiling with an indescribable expression Then he got back to ground level and entered the palace, picking a rando himself into a seat Iram appeared in the air

“Corowled “Coraure of an angel eed

The next day arrived Noel Freya visited Chi-Hyun early in the reet hi out of the hallway However, she quickly hid after seeing Chi-Hyun’s face ‘We’re fucked’ That was the first thought co to her as soon as she saw his stiff expression

Nocold-blooded, he was still a human with e Chi-Hyun for a long time, Noel had acquired the ability to read his e his facialthe look on his face, it was clear that Chi-Hyun’s mood was abysmally bad She had actually never seen hierous the situation got

‘What happened?’ Noel though

Chi-Hyun had been hued Moreover, his subsequent actions were evenback with a package Then…

‘What? Whaaaaaaaaat?’

Tatatata

Noel Freya screa in the kitchen This was the first tiour He basically ate only to live Why was he suddenly cooking with so ht ‘Is he concerned about sohth recruits…’ Her prediction was partly correct, but in the wrong direction

Chi-Hyun was thinking of his younger brother He had been thinking of only Chi-Woo since yesterday ‘I can’t let this be’ He had locked Chi-Woo up in a fit of anger Regardless of the reprehensibility of his actions, Chi-Hyun knew that locking up Chi-Woo was not a perfect solution ‘I can’t just stick by his side the whole time’ There was no permanent solution What could he do to increase Chi-Woo’s rate of survival until Liber’s crisis was resolved?

‘Power’ He had to gather more power; in this world, poas essentially the law and justice Thanks to Chi-Woo, heup Of course, not everything would be solved even after Chi-Woo gained more power; Chi-Hyun knew this better than anyone else In order to fulfill the most minimum conditions, he needed one ?”

Chi-Hyun turned to the source of the voice that had suddenly interrupted his thinking

“Sir, I-I et going…” Under Chi-Hyun’s stare, Noel aardly laughed and quickly turned around

“A meal?”

Noel Freya iht she had heard hi

“…What?”

“A meal Have you eaten already?”

“Ah…” Noel Freya blinked like crazy and shook her head in surprise “No! No, I haven’t!”

“Then, you want so as saucers A dish made by Chi-Hyun hireater reward than this “C-Could I?”

“I’ve made quite a lot It doesn’t matter if you have some”

“Really? Is this for real?”

“Try it first It ht not be to your taste”

When Chi-Hyun set aside some of the food for her, Noel Freya almost fainted “It’s delicious!”

“You haven’t even tried it yet”

There was no way it wouldn't be delicious Noel was confident that even if he gave her poison, she would enjoy it and die with content Noel washer undying loyalty to Chi-Hyun once again

Chi-Hyun looked at Noel and continued his earlier thought before he was interrupted He had long known about Noel Freya’s over-zealous loyalty, and there was only one reason why he had let her follow hi poop can be used for ht come a time when she would prove to be useful He had let her be in case such a scenario arose

‘If necessary…’ Just like what Giant Fist and Mua Janya were to Chi-Hyun, Chi-Woo also needed people ould stay by his side to support and help him in whatever situation Chi-Hyun said, “If you like it, do you want another bowl?”

“Yes! Yes! Yes, yes, yes!”

“Eat slowly Tell h”

“Yes, sir!”

But if Chi-Woo couldn’t find people like that, Chi-Hyun needed to find people ould die for Chi-Woo for his sake
