Chapter 204: A Heros True Character (2/2)
When Chi-Woo didn’t finish his sentence, Chi-Hyun went to the next page and opened his ain “Not really…don’t worry about that”
“What?”
“That’s why I sent Noel to you anyway”
Chi-Woo couldn’t comprehend his brother’s words for a moment What did he mean?
Chi-Hyun continued, “The situationshe had and accept a foreign God from a different planet,” Chi-Hyun continued calmly “As a result of Noel’s sacrifice, the threat to you ly Wasn’t it thanks to her sacrifice that you returned safely?”
Chi-Woo’s brows gradually furrowed as he listened
Chi-Hyun continued, “Noel did an excellent job fulfilling the role I wanted her to fulfill She will be satisfied by the result as I do”
Chi-Woo couldn’t believe his ears He thought he was hearing his brother wrong
“Since this is the reason why I introduced you to her in the first place”
It sounded like Chi-Hyun was treating Noel as an extra life for him Chi-Woo couldn’t take it anymore “Are you insane?”
“?”
“She’s your subordinate Someone who followed you”
“Didn’t I already tell you? I’ the document in front of him, “Noel was a very valuable asset She was a clear candidate to be one of the seven saintesses needed for Liber’s salvation in the future”
“Seven saintesses…?”
“She’s now disqualified, but you’ve found a replacement on your own The Saintess of the Babylon Church You’ve found a great substitute”
Chi-Woo gaped He was extremely bothered by how Chi-Hyun used the word asset and substitute “Are you really…ed to ask in an incredulous tone after a stunned moment
“What did you expect?” Chi-Hyun responded with another question like he thought Chi-Woo was the strange one instead “Why do you think I introduced you to Noel, going so far as to reveal your identity?”
“That’s…how can you say that…?” Chi-Woo shook his head with a shocked face
Chi-Hyun was silent for a moment and then repeated what Chi-Woo said, “How can you say that…” After a brief pause, he laughed and said, “Are you in any place to ask such a question?”
Chi-Woo immediately became speechless
“It’s because of you that Noel became like that” Chi-Hyun continued, “If it weren’t for you, Noel wouldn’t have ended up this way—did you want me to tell you that?”
Chi-Hyun’s sarcastic voice continued as Chi-Woo looked at the ground “You don’t even feel apologetic to me, but only to Noel”
“?”
“Otherwise your first apology wouldn’t have been about her,” Chi-Hyun continued “If you had at least a little bit of conscience, shouldn’t you apologize toyour promise to me?”
“That’s—”
“I had no idea that you would ignore my words and disrespectyou” Chi-Woo ed to open his mouth “There was…a situation”
Chi-Hyun snorted “Situation You and your situations”
“…”
“Chi-Woo” Only then did Chi-Hyun’s gaze land on Chi-Woo again His emotionless eyes stared at Chi-Woo as he said, “Do you remember the conversation we had at your house?”
“…Yeah”
“You said, and I quote, ‘Hoould I have known that? Since I didn’t knohat else should I have done?’” Chi-Hyun clasped his hands “I tried to understand you”
“…”
“Of course I was extrery, but…I tried to care and understand you—to the extent that even I thought I wasn’t behaving like myself It was all because you told ht you could have acted as you did since you didn’t know anything” Chi-Hyun couldn’t eht about it, but he could understand why Chi-Woo had acted like he did “But that’s not the case this time You knew You knew all too well”
This situation was completely different froh you kneould react” Even though Chi-Woo knew his brother would get angry, he still chose to leave Chi-Hyun continued, “Do you seriously still expect uess it couldn’t be helped after you told me there was a situation?”
“…”
“And you didn’t even keep the proo out”
Chi-Woo had remained silent while Chi-Hyun spoke with an icy-cold voice Finally, he responded softly, “You’re right It’s totally my fault that I didn’t keep lanced at his brother and said, “The situation wasn’t an ordinary situation as you think”
“…It wasn’t an ordinary situation?” Chi-Hyun’s eyes narrowed “No ordinary reason…all right, let me hear it” He rested his chin on the back of his hand
Chi-Woo hesitated, but finally told Chi-Hyun about the World’s Milestone Chi-Hyun looked a bit surprised; it was the first ti about the ite that die, a favorable event occurred for the Demon Empire, and an unfavorable event occurred for mankind?”
“Yep Since I was the one who created that ht I needed to clean it up…”
“Why did you only tell ot”
This was the first time Chi-Hyun heard about the World’s Milestone He had seen many incomprehensible explanations written in Chi-Woo’s user infor related to Chi-Woo’s unidentified ability, which was censored with question marks
“Hmm…” Chi-Hyun rubbed his chin and suddenly reached out his hand Chi-Woo blinked a few times and took the World’s Milestone from his pocket Immediately, the die flew up and landed on Chi-Hyun’s hand
“This is” Chi-Hyun realized that the die was no ordinary object at first glance It was a seven-sided die, but it was perfectly balanced—so that should have been impossible Chi-Hyun touched it for a while and then suddenly rolled the die on his desk
“Chi-Hyun?”
However, nothing happened It seemed only Chi-Woo could use it Then…
Smash!+ The desk split in half Chi-Hyun had slammed his fist into the die out of the blue
“…W-What are you doing?” Shocked, Chi-Woo responded after a beat He hurriedly looked at the desk and found the die a the rubbles Only the poor desk was broken, and the World’s Milestone was coain and tried to crush it with his thu given the way his hand tremored, but—
“Chi-Hyun?”
The die rean to exude mana; powerful mana wrapped around the die, and it al
Chi-Woo asked again, “Can’t you hear ?”
However, Chi-Woo didn’t need to worry Despite Chi-Hyun’s efforts, the World’s Milestone was completely fine There wasn’t even a scratch on its surface Chi-Hyun clicked his tongue and said, “It won’t break It certainly doesn’t seem like an ordinary object”
“Give it back” Chi-Woo reached out and tried to steady his rough breathing His brother hadn’t been testing out the World’s Milestone; he really was going to crush it However, Chi-Woo tried to suppress his anger since he did break his proive it back”
“I don’t want to”
“What did you say?”
“This die has a high probability of putting you in a dangerous situation”
“It’s fine, so just give it back to hts, Chi-Hyun see the World’s Milestone to Chi-Woo “Risks shouldn’t be et rid of it” In short, Chi-Hyun was saying that the die had a high-risk factor, and if Chi-Woo held onto it, he had a high chance of doing soain
“…So” Chi-Woo was incredulous “You’re telling ive it back?”
“…”
“You’re confiscating—no, it’s not confiscation Are you going to take it away by force? Like last tiently lowered the hand holding the die “I pro to keep my promise with you, unlike someone else here” Chi-Hyun put down the World’s Milestone on his desk and pushed it toward Chi-Woo as if he was urging Chi-Woo to take it back
Then he said, “Listen carefully from now on”
