Chapter 172 (2/2)

“And your nahest danger level you’ve worked on?”

“Stellar syste why Chi-Hyun was asking him such a question

“Stellar system You must at least be able to do the basics” Chi-Hyun let out a long breath and pushed the sheet of paper in his hand towards Zelit “A delegation fro here soon” He crossed his arms and continued, “The discussion will probably be centered around the Godly territory created recently…” He looked at Zelit and spoke with a softer tone “I’ve got my hands on it, but I’m a bit busy If possible, I’d like a hero like you to help me” Chi-Hyun suddenly made an offer, and Zelit narrowed his eyes

He understood the underlying norant, Chi-Hyun decided to appease hi Zelit that he’d share soet over this ht Chi-Hyun’s offer was not bad If what he said was true, it would have a significant impact on Liber’s future trajectory Zelit could probably earn a lot ofAbove all, it was a golden opportunity to work under the legend However, Zelit didn’t even need to think about the offer

“Thank you, but finding hi to accept any offer Chi-Hyun made

“Why?” Chi-Hyun tilted his head “Is there a specific reason why you want to find him so badly?”

“…”

Chi-Hyun added, “You don’t seeht on theindividualistic tendency and was extremely calculative However, he also knehen to repay a favor and when to not back down

“…After the seventh recruits barely survived and began to settle down in the fortress…there was a ti about the time he sent Chi-Woo to the Evelaya Volcano despite opposition froh I’m ashamed to say this as a hero, I felt hopeless and fell into despair Our circuhtened by everything” He had gone through extre the cause of so this disastrous was the last straw The helplessness he felt at that time doiven up and lived with no hope…but soet back up” Chi-Woo had reached out to hi Chi-Woo’s hand

“I haven’t forgotten how grateful I was at that tiot from Chi-Woo when he was at his lowest like yesterday, so he would not abandon Chi-Woo no iven up on hins of anger or annoyance Instead, he see “Then, there’s nothing I can do”

Zelit began to feel confused

Chi-Hyun said, “Actually, he’s finishi+ng a task I assigned him”

“A task?”

“I can’t tell you about it since it’s top secret”

“Are you going to—”

“But I’ll tell hie you later on”

Zelit, who had no intentions to back doed his words and shut hisChi-Hyun’s response A hero’s device could only be operated by thee from Chi-Woo, Zelit could take it as proof that he was fine But just in case, Zelit said, “I think I’ll have to see hie to him” Chi-Hyun nodded, and Zelit had no reeable than he expected

In the end, Zelit said, “…I’ll trust your reputation” Then he gave Chi-Hyun a s to leave the palace

Zelit fell deep into thought, ‘I can’t figure him out’ He didn’t know the exact reason why, but he felt as if he was being fooled However, he couldn’t figure out what exactly was triggering his suspicion Chi-Hyun wasn’t someone he could deal with alone in the first place He needed help Since Chi-Hyun had taken a step back—or appeared to, at least—Zelit couldn’t use his truht away Then who should he consult with? A person immediately came to mind, and Zelit hurried his steps

On the same day, Chi-Hyun toured the nearby hills outside the capital He was looking for a place where people didn’t often go and was a sufficient distance away fro a place he liked, Chi-Hyun carefully investigated it, but then he suddenly sighed

So on his nerves since he left the capital by stalking and walking circles around hiure Theme?”

“Is Teacher here?” the person replied with another question

“Teacher?” Chi-Hyun frowned

“I’ man was no other than Ru Amuh

The Zealot-head hero ue and said, “Someone already came to me for the same matter today I told him to wait a little bit”

“Yes, I’ve heard” Ru Aht now”

“…Go back,” Chi-Hyun said with narrowed eyes Then his expression stiffened, and he started turning around

Clang! Ru Amuh had unsheathed his sword in response

Chi-Hyun shouted, “Ha! You want to fight me?”

While Chi-Hyun still had his back towards him, Ru Amuh replied with a calm voice, “Since you won’t answer et it out of you—with a different method”

Chi-Hyun found Ru Amuh’s confidence ridiculous; he wanted to show off his skills? With him as the opponent? A silence fell between the wind blew Chi-Hyun turned around fully at the same time A series of clashes erupted; in a ed between theale died down just as suddenly as it ca into the ground—the sword Chi-Woo gifted Ru Amuh Chi-Hyun had Ru Aht came to a conclusion with Ru Amuh’s defeat However, Ru Ahtly surprised expression

“…Pretty good,” Chi-Hyun said with sincerity As soing a feith Ru Amuh that while the Zealot-head was pretty skilled, Ru Amuh was the real deal His was not an ordinary talent, but an exceptional one It was to the extent that Chi-Hyun felt like taking Ru A him

“Kill me”

But most of all, he was pleased by Ru A to do anything for his brother Not only did Ru Amuh express that ords, but he also proved it in action while risking death Even though he failed as a hero, he passed as a suitable companion to stay by his brother’s side

“For real…there’s that guy, now this…” Chi-Hyun grumbled, but he was pleased He had been worried about recruiting people to help and take Chi-Woo’s side, but his concerns were unnecessary Regardless of his intentions, his younger brother was already doing well on his own Chi-Hyun thought Chi-Woo would probably be fine with thisThat left him with only one problem to take care of

‘Take out the iron while it’s hot I’ll have to do this right now’ He needed to properly fix this place to make a space for just him and Chi-Woo ‘It’s been a while since I’ve used so hts, Chi-Hyun said, “Go back” He let go of Ru Amuh’s neck “Wait a day—no, half a day You’ll see hiht Ru Amuh would understand and back down by now

However, there was one aspect he overlooked; Ru Amuh’s trust in Chi-Woo was close to 100 percent Like how parents saw red when sorown-up child would react the same when soize, but…” Ru Amuh quickly withdrew, and when he reached out his hand, the sword buried in the ground flew into his hand “I h he kneould never beat Chi-Hyun even if he died and resurrected a hundred ti position, and his eyes quietly burned with conviction

Meeting Ru Arin “Then it can’t be helped I have no choice but to force you to wait”

They looked at each other for a endary hero clashed violently
