Chapter 235 Two

His visit was sudden, but the news he brought was as expected

“A request to look for ahero?”

“Uh, yes” The man’s hair was neatly tied into a top knot in the front, revealing his big eyes and a look that gave a cheerful first impression He responded to Chi-Woo’s question with a nod

“One teao, and it seeation teaathered, and Abis happened to hear the news and got the request” Jin-Cheon looked behind him, and Abis nodded with a smile Chi-Woo still looked puzzled

“Couldn’t it be that they are just unreachable? They could’ve just gone beyond the area where they could receive es”

“Hm We considered the possibility, but that doesn’t seem to be the case here” Jin-Cheon then proceeded to explain that a total of four people went on an adventure not long ago, and the clientthis request was close to one of theether, but this time, they acted separately because of personal issues Before that, they made a promise to each other for the sake of survival—they were to continually contact each other when they were apart They would exchange three greetings every day, and if one of thee in which contact was possible, they would warn the other beforehand And by keeping this promise, they would be able to ensure each other’s safety

The tays kept their promise when they separated without fail Thus, it seemed reasonable to think that the other person was in trouble with the break of this promise

“The client said it has already been four days since they lost contact They tried to e their friend dozens of ti to go with just us three…but the h they are low tiers, they are still heroes It’s weird that a team made up of four heroes would disappear just like that” Jin-Cheon continued, “That’s why I aain, Teacher—plus the help of the gold tier warrior and the most beautiful and capable saintess If only the three of you would agree to participate in this mission, I’m sure on’t have any more worries”

Evelyn smiled benevolently at Jin-Cheon’s flattery But unlike her, Chi-Woo’s expression turned serious Thinking that Chi-Woo was considering the issue, Jin-Cheon volunteered h this is a request coreat They said if all six of us participate, they will give us 3,000 royals each”

“3,000 royals each?” Chi-Woo’s eyes widened “That means the total reward is 18,000 royals”

“Yes! Does that convince you?”

“Are they even able to pay the sum?”

“Yes, I’m alive us 100 of the reward as an advance the et that ht they were low tier”

“…It seems our client sold themself” Jin-Cheon’s voice lowered “They talked to the Cassiubia League and basically made a slave contract”

“Then the reward is…”

“It’s basically the price of our client,” Jin-Cheon said bitterly, but Chi-Woo still looked like he didn’t get it

“They went that far without even knowing if their friend is dead or alive?”

“Well…apparently, they knew each other fro to Liber,” Jin-Cheon said “I understand why they did it Honestly, if it wasn’t for you, Teacher, I h these two here aren’t related to me by blood, they are more precious to me than my family”

The situation soundedwhat Jin-Cheon had said, but this was a request Chi-Woo couldn’t accept in the first place Thus, Chi-Woo asked another question for confirmation

“Could I perhaps ask about the identities of the tea?”

“Their identities? Yeah, that’s reasonable Let ive him the answer Ru Hiana blanched when she heard who they were—the people she had proo If she had gone with the person list Chi-Woo bit his lip If he didn’t know the future, he would’ve accepted the request since he could help Jin-Cheon and earn a good amount of money and merits while he was at it

‘Then…’ Chi-Woo shi+vered thinking about what his brother had told hihts, he said, “I’m sorry, Mr Jin-Cheon, but I can’t accept this request”

“Huh?” Jin-Cheon’s eyes turned round “Uh…why? We don’t even necessarily have to save them; we just need to check whether they are alive If that’s not possible, we can simply find their tracks” Jin-Cheon was surprised to hear Chi-Woo refuse a request with such favorable conditions “I’ to pressure you If you really don’t want to do it, we can look for other people But—”

“It’s a request I can’t accept,” Chi-Woo said firmly Jin-Cheon’s expression stiffened, and Chi-Woo continued, “And I implore you to turn it down as well, Mr Jin-Cheon”

Jin-Cheon si He wasn’t Chi-Woo’s subordinate even though they were on friendly terms He had no reason to follow Chi-Woo’s advice Chi-Woo felt conflicted about whether he should explain the situation to Jin-Cheon, but then he wondered if Jin-Cheon would be able to accept his explanation and above all, be able to keep his mouth sealed about it He was able to talk to Ru Amuh and Ru Hiana since they had built a close relationshi+p, but that wasn’t the case with Jin-Cheon

This matter had to be kept secret at all costs at the present time The fewer people knew about it, the better it was If word got out that Chi-Woo and his brother foresee Shalyh’s fall, and the news eventually reached the Dely The future that was already difficult to change would become even more difficult

“A request I shouldn’t accept…” Jin-Cheonthat because of the ive you more myself So—”

“No, it’s not about the h for one more month”

Jin-Cheon shook his head and said, “Then I suppose we should look for soetting ready to argue for his position when Jin-Cheon responded He didn’t expect Jin-Cheon to relent so easily

“You seemed surprised, Teacher,” Jin-Cheon said cheerfully, “But I know youme not to do this”

“Ah…”

“You risked your life to help us without expecting any rewards Thus, it takesco as far as to stop ers and said, “You ht now, it ine it Isn’t that right?”

Though it was just a feeling, Chi-Woo felt that Jin-Cheon was no ordinary hero at thatpillar in saving Liber one day

“I don’t knohat’s going on, but good luck The only thing we can help you with right now is to not take this request as you told us”

“Will you really…be fine with that?”
