Chapter 186: Love and Obsession (2/2)
Chi-Woo nodded
“All right Then I’ll die” Noel took the dagger with both hands and stabbed it at her neck—with not even a moment of hesitation
—fuck!
Philip screamed
—Stop her! Quickly!
Chi-Woo ju out and snatched the dagger away before he could Blood strealeamed with red
—This woman…
Philip murmured to himself as if he couldn’t believe what just happened
—She really…was going to stab…her own neck…
Noel wasn’t bluffing; she really illing to sacrifice her life She continued, “You can’t stopin my breath”
Noel was crazy The extent her loyalty to his brother reached was insane Chi-Woo had thought he could convince her somehow if he uel, but Noel was a reater hurdle to overcouess I have no choice’ He hadn’t wanted to do this, but he had to Chi-Woo closed his eyes and reached into hisdeeply as he recalled his drah school Chi-Woo replied, “…I understand I won’t go”
“You’ve ht decision” Noel finally s happens, Lord Chi-Hyun will be able to resolve it, so please don’t worry too —”
“Yeah, that’ll probably be the case” Chi-Woo cut her off “As you say, I can just stay holed up in the ” He stared straight at Noel and continued, “Even though I don’t knoill happen toall the risks by hiht?”
Noel blinked; the words were sharp enough to pierce her skin—no, through her bones Noel replied, “Young ht Whether the Sernitas target humanity next, whether the Demon Empire comes to invade us, or even if they team up and come after us…”
“No—”
“Let’s just believe in Chi-Hyun Our legendary hero will solve all our probleht face “But do you really think that’s the case?” He looked at her with eyes ain, “Do you really think so?”
Noel became speechless as Chi-Woo continued, “Do you knohat I found the most ridiculous since I came to Liber?”
Noel couldn’t answer
“It’s the heroes The behavior of heroes Frohth recruits! All of the happens, they iend that Whenever they start to get a little nervous, they go looking for my brother like a child who lost theirmaster” Noel cleared her voice “I’ all this, but I understand what you ree with you, but you have to consider the circumstances”
“Circumstances?”
“You have to consider the special circurowth systerowth systeh it’s not coed!”
Noel beca he said was true Chi-Woo huffed for a while and said, “…Do you knohy I want to go?” He continued with a weaker voice, “It’s because of hi for his sake” After a pause, he softly spoke, “There are over 3,000 heroes on Liber, and most of them are all dependent on him”
“…”
“In the first place, why did so many people come to this world? Actually, more people will come here as the ninth and tenth recruits Why are they all co here?”
Noel couldn’t easily dismiss Chi-Woo’s words as senseless because it was no other than Chi-Hyun himself who had requested for additional recruits to be sent Noel was flustered “…Y-Young master, but Lord Chi-Hyun is—”
“My brother!”
Noel was taken aback as Chi-Woo shouted at the top of his lungs again “He ritted his teeth to show his anger “But to me, he’s my family, my only older brother!” He took a step closer to Noel “Whilehis life, are you telling er brother!?” He furiously pointed at her with his index finger and shouted as emotionally as he could
Overwhelmed, Noel stared at hi his breath for a while, Chi-Woo sharply glared at her “You’re the same as everyone”
“What?”
“You’re no different I’d like to ask you, are you really my brother’s subordinate?”
This was basically heresy to Noel, but Chi-Woo continued, “While your lord is exposed to the harsh wind and rain outside, how can you sit still here and claim to be loyal to hi hly pushed back her chair and rose from her seat “How can you say that…!”
“Ah, of course, it’s my personal opinion It just seeuainst her “If you really cared about my brother, you wouldn’t do this If I were you—” He stared straight into her eyes and wielded words like the sharpest blade “I would at least not be leaning on this chair and proudly sitting still”
Noel gaped
“And I would at least not stop someone ants to help him, powerless I may be”
Noel was so conflicted that she dropped her head She needed to retort and reiterate her opposition, but she couldn’t think of any words
Chi-Woo thought Noel wouldn’t listen to anything he said because the basis for her attitude was her undying loyalty to Chi-Hyun Thus, Chi-Woo decided to convince her by taking a shot at her loyalty and questioning her actions Lo and behold, Noel avering It was true that Chi-Hyun had cultivated and ion, and he had prevented multiple crises by hiht be handling too much at once But most of all, Noel recalled how Chi-Hyun had reacted when he found out that sorowth syste to you, he found a God and restored their power, and he even activated a growth system What do you think I felt when I heard that?]
[Since he resolved ive hiendary hero if that’s what he wants, as long as he keeps up the good work]
She clearly reht from him Moreover, she couldn’t shake off what Chi-Woo had said—how he couldn’t see his brother suffer as his family, and how if she were truly loyal to hihts of whether she should listen to her lord unconditionally or do as truly right out of loyalty clashed inside her mind
Blood was thicker than water If anyone else had said what Chi-Woo just said to her, she wouldn’t have even blinked, but it was hard to do the saer brother While Noel stayed still with her head down, Chi-Woo snuck a glance at Steam Bun It quietly approached him and took out a water bottle Chi-Woo put a few drops in his eyes for the final climax
“Ms Noel” After Steam Bun had secretly put away the water bottle, Chi-Woo said, “I’ve told you this before…but my brother can’t save Liber alone” He spoke with a deep but slightly hoarse voice “Even ifhiht still fail to save this world” Chi-Woo e to help his brother and did not want to trouble him “Please try to understand why the Celestial Realns a mission to each recruitment”
“…”
“Just once Please put yourself in my shoes…” Chi-Woo softly explained and trailed off suddenly Noel, who had been listening in a daze, finally looked up She was shocked to see Chi-Woo’s eyes filled with tears
“…If on the s bad happens to ive o htly shut his eyes “…Please, I beg you” Chi-Woo bowed until his head was alle He had never shown such deference before Noel’s lips trembled She had to turn down his request, but she couldn’t bear to when she noticed a tear trickle down his cheek
“Young…master” Noel smacked her lips for a while and in the end, lowered her ar
The next day, Chi-Woo got ready to leave as soon as he woke up, having had a good night's sleep at his home The result of his hard work yesterday? Success! Chi-Woo’s tears were able to ed toHowever, his departure was not fully set in stone yet Noel had taken a step back, but she still set two conditions First, he had to forht?]
[Then you should gather your team members Of course, itto sayNoel’s condition, Chi-Woo went outside as soon as the day broke His first destination had already been decided Chi-Wooto also ask for the whereabouts of the three heroes involved in this case
When he knocked on the door, Ru Hiana answered “Who…ah? Senior?” Ru Hiana made a fuss as soon as she saw Chi-Woo “You’ve come down?”
“Yes Is Ru Amuh here?”
“Yes, he’s here, but…”
Chi-Woo was glad that Ru Amuh hadn’t left yet He went inside, only to find himself in an unexpected situation
“Teacher?”
“What? Whaaaaat? What happened?”
Ru Amuh and the man who had come to the cave for help were all here; it see Moreover, even though this was definitely Ru A at the head of the table as if it was thein the world
“What is it?” The wos crossed, looking at him with confident and prideful eyes like a queen “Who is he?”
