Chapter 245. In the Name of Choi (1/2)
Chapter 245 In the Name of Choi
Ismile asked Chi-Woo to at least reveal his naone on a whole expedition with Chi-Woo, she still didn’t know his na, but she didn’t believe it There was no way a person could have a name like that even if they considered cultural differences
“What are you doing? Can’t you at least tell us your name?” Apoline asked But Chi-Woo didn’t open hisat hi deal was about revealing a name, but it was different for Ismile Ismile knew Chi-Woo’s situation and who he was Thus, Chi-Woo didn’t knohy Isht spot
“Does it even ht and pure that it seeh fro And what does revealing his name have to do with the current situation?”
Everyone turned to the voice It was the first time that Alice Ho Lactea spoke up Alice continued, “I think the i is hoould be able to prevent the definite future of the Godly territory’s destruction”
As Alice spoke, Chi-Woo could clearly see Is to see how the others—Apoline, Yeriel, and E with Ismile—suddenly didn’t dare to open their h their expressions
“…That’s true” Even Ismile dropped the topic despite his visible displeasure of having lost the opportunity to reveal Chi-Woo’s identity The Ho Lactea was a top fa coht below theree with the fact that they were the clear second place ahts, and with Chi-Hyun’s absence, Ho Lactae’s influence was currently strongest in the roo to Chi-Woo and asking, “That’s settled then Will you now tell us hoe can protect this city even while defying the legend’s will?”
Chi-Woo was relieved that they passed over the topic of his name He didn’t know if Alice helped hirateful all the sa the plan
After finishi+ng his explanation, Chi-Woo looked around while feeling nervous In all honesty, there was not much to the plan It wasn’t complicated; it was actually pretty simple since the central point of the plan was to backstab the Dee the future if they succeeded, and noas all up to the Celestial Lights to acknowledge that
“Hh and asked, “What do you all think?” He didn’t state his own stance, but asked for other people’s opinions as the one
“Hm~ Sounds like ould definitely be able to take the Demon Empire by surprise if we follow this plan…” Yeriel’s eyes rolled around once “I think it will be a good opportunity to gather merits too”
Chi-Woo felt hope from the positive response
“Of course, that is if the plan succeeds,” Yeriel added
“Yes, only if it succeeds,” Eree with this plan or disagree? Why don’t you each say that first?” Is For some reason, he appeared quite uninterested in the results, and Yeriel and Eree”
“I also disagree”
Chi-Woo was stunned
“What about the others?” Ismile seemed to have already anticipated their responses and looked around It was then Chi-woo realized that things were going horribly wrong He looked at Noel, and she appeared flustered She wanted to help him, but couldn’t; after all, the one who had told her to back off was none other than Choi Chi-Hyun Apoline showed a siree, while Alice remained silent Chi-Woo couldn’t understand
‘Why…!’ He thought it was a plan worth executing What did the Celestial Lights think was lacking that they all disagreed without any hesitation?
“This guy doesn’t see hi at Chi-Woo
“I agree that it is a creative tactic, and the rewards ould get for succeeding would be very big It really is a coave hireat”
“But—”
“Before you continue, let me ask you one question,” Yeriel cut Chi-Woo off “Do you think the plan you just proposed has no risks at all?”
Chi-Woo halted He knew that was not the case Instead, like Evelyn said, a single mishap could topple the house of cards of a plan, and they would
“You can’t say that, right? That’s how it is Things don’t always go according to plan,” Yeriel continued “Of course, it will be great if everything goes as ish But we have to consider ould happen if it doesn’t For exaer all of us” Yeriel looked at Chi-Woo carefully as he stood un, at a loss for words “Your plan would risk thousands of lives Would you be able to shoulder the burden of such risks as the one co up with the plan?”
Chi-Woo’s shoulders felt heavy, but he clenched his teeth without a comeback To be honest, he couldn’t swear that he could do as Yeriel said But the moment he said those words, the conversation would be over, and right now, he needed to do everything he could
“…Yes,” Chi-Woo answered
Someone snorted at Chi-Woo’s answer “Anyone can swear about anything,” Emmanuel said and murmured, “Not only do we have to use up all the precious athered, we have to put our lives on the line… There’s no way Choi Chi-Hyun hasn’t thought of this plan, but he still told you to back off Even the one considered a legend decided to give up rather than undertake the dangers” Then E us that you would accoed to be too difficult? And we are supposed to believe you?” Words as cold as his eyes shot down at Chi-Woo
“…”
“How can we trust you enough to listen to your orders?”
“It’s not an order, but a request—”
“That makes it even more unreasonable,” Emmanuel coldly cut Chi-Woo off “A planner is basically the sah a plan And a commander is someone who is supposed to order—not request—others to carry out his plan”
Silence perlanced at Chi-Woo while worrying her bottom lip between her teeth Then, in the end, she scoffed and said in athe legend so earnestly?” It see the experience they had gone through together
“I don’t earnestly follow him Instead, I dislike hietting angry “But that doesn’t mean I would deny all the achieveain Everything Es are, he is a legendary hero who everyone acknowledges—in comparison to this no-na Emmanuel diminish Chi-Woo
“Isn’t it obvious whose decision we should trust more?”
“Isn’t that too harsh?” Noel juer
“…This is unexpected” Eht you of all people would agree with end’s end, so how could you respond this way? Who is this man exactly?”
“I…can’t…” Noel trailed off Emmanuel stared at Chi-Woo full of curiosity
“…”
Chi-Woo’s face looked blank He realized then what Evelyn had meant
[Are you confident that your naend’s?]
Chi-Woo had thought wrong froood their plan was, but whether the person who proposed the plan had the skills for the others to place their trust in hihtto assess his plan with
