“No one would scold you for resting after a big war But you aren’t even resting properly Seriously, what are you doing? Just brooding and looking all ood look,” Evelyn said

Chi-Woo blinked hard It sees to say about his current attitude He scratched his head and asked, “Was it that bad?”

“Of course—” Evelyn snorted and added, “ForChi-Woo stared blankly as she left

“!”

Then he exclaimed in surprise He didn’t knohen she first arrived, but Haas standing near him with an expressionless face

“Ms Hawa?”

“I have a ot to the point ianizing your thoughts, co”

“Goddess La Bella said that?”

“Yes, she did” Then Hawa got off the veranda, put her shoes back on, and headed outside It see to do early at dawn Chi-Woo watched as Hawa quickly grew farther away The as over, yet everyone looked busyReadNovelFullco he couldn’t put into words crept back to him He recalled what Shersha had told him: there was a postponee Chi-Woo felt like he asting precious time he couldn’t afford to waste

He couldn’t continue like this He needed to do sothy conteo talk to his brother in the end Since he was at fault, Chi-Woo thought it was right for hiet a good welcoes, but he headed to the official residence where Chi-Hyun was Chi-Woo wondered if Chi-Hyun would even open the door for him, but he happened to run into his brother in front of the building’s entrance It see to work since it was still early in the

“Oh…hey” Chi-Woo s he wanted to say First of all, he wanted to talk about what happened pretty recently And if their conversation ell and their relationshi+p recovered, Chi-Woo planned to ask Chi-Hyun to use his Iain But now that he was standing face-to-face with his brother, his mouth felt stuck

Chi-Hyun’s eyes and expression didn’t change fro at a coer It seemed Chi-Hyun had told the truth when he said he wouldn’t see Chi-Woo as a brother any is…”

Chi-Hyun’s eyes narrowed as Chi-Woo failed to continue Then Chi-Hyun put his hand inside his sleeve before taking it out

Thud!

Chi-Woo instinctively closed his eyes as so flew and collided with his face Then he hesitantly opened his eyes again and saw a seven-sided die rolling on the ground There was also a talis down from the air Chi-Woo’s eyes widened when he saw the World’s Milestone and the talisave his—”

But Chi-Hyun didn’t listen anymore He passed by Chi-Woo and opened the entrance door Bam!

Before Chi-Woo could say another word, the door shut roughly, slas ept away by the resulting wind He was clearly not welcomed Chi-Woo felt stunned and after a while, he bit his lip bitterly His heart seemed to boil like lava, and his face, ears, and neck beca treated the way Chi-Hyun did to his too far It was as if Chi-Hyun was telling him, ‘Shut up and don’t ever coain’

Chi-Woo clenched his jaw and picked up the World’s Milestone and the talise didn’t disappear, but only accumulated

“Huh?” It was then he heard a fa in front of the door?” Apoline asked It see And Chi-Woo inhaled deeply and nodded in response He quietly ht now and hoped Apoline would just go on her way Unfortunately, she thought otherwise

“What are you doing? Co?” Apoline asked Then after sorab Chi-Woo’s arh the door The silence continued inside the building Though Apoline had let go of Chi-Woo, she kept rolling her feet on the ground like she had sooing to speak up, Apoline fake-coughed and said, “Um…Hm, hm! I didn’t expect to see you here”

“…” There was still no answer fro had beco, Apoline licked her dry lips and asked, “Huh…Mr Chi-Woo?” Then, with a voice that sounded like she had e, she asked, “D-Don’t you have anything to say to me?”

“…What do I have to say to you?” Chi-Woo finally spoke, but Apoline was taken aback by how angry he sounded It was then she realized that Chi-Woo’s expression didn’t look good

“No I just…” Apoline looked flustered, but when she saw Chi-Woo sigh, her eyes turned bloodshot ‘…What? Does he not even want to talk to uy feels? I didn’t do anything wrong’ And after thinking this, Apoline regained her original demeanor and demanded boldly

“Was it fun for you?”

Chi-Woo still didn’t answer, enraging Apoline further

“Yes~ I suppose youyour identity and all that Hm?”

“…”

“As a hed about how ridiculous and absurd we seeot a real kick out of tricking us”

Chi-Woo inhaled and exhaled deeply again His head was already in aon about now? He wanted Apoline to leave this instant, but he tried with all his ht to be patient and forced out:

“I Had My Circumstances” Chi-Woo enunciated each word clearly “It was personal, so please stop” His tone wasn’t pleasant as it reflected his current mood

“Please stop?” Apoline had the quickwittedness to catch onto what Chi-Woo meant by those tords Her lips turned twisted as she spoke, “Ah~ your own circulared at him, “And what are those circuuess you can’t even tellest son of the Choi family wants to have his fun, how dare I say otherwise?”

Chi-Woo’s face shook, but without noticing it, Apoline continued in atone, “I’m so envious It must have been so nice—”

“Gah, who said I had a nice ti roar “It wasn’t fun! Not a lick of it!”

Apoline flinched and hiccupped at the abrupt shouting Her eyes turned wide in surprise

“You think I do this for fun…!” But Chi-Woo’s voice settled down because of the serious look on Apoline’s gaping face

Then, sometime later, her eyes briry though…?” Shevoice “You are…the one at fault…”

Chi-Woo clenched his eyes shut and walked away like he couldn’t bear the situation anymore

Bam! And when he was at the door, he suddenly recalled how his brother had sla this, Apoline pouted, and one sorrowful teardrop trailed down her cheek

—Creak…

Under the abuse of the two brothers, the building’s entrance door also made muffled cries

At the sah thefrohest-level office in the official residence It was Chi-Hyun, watching Chi-Woo leave while heaving hard Unlike how he acted outside, Chi-Hyun didn’t look at peace as he watched his brother move further and further away His expression could be described as concerned, and Chi-Hyun let out a long sigh

“Does it bother you?” A voice spoke up from behind hio after him”

“What did you come here for?” Chi-Hyun cut her off and sat back at his desk

“Young master also—”

“If you don’t have any business to discuss with me, you may leave”

Thus, Noel didn’t say more about Chi-Woo and handed a bundle of paper to Chi-Hyun “These are the reports about the ninth recruits”

“I was informed that there wasn’t any member to keep my eye on”

“That’s natural for you, sir Unless there’s a hero of Ismile’s level, you wouldn’t blink an eye even if another Celestial Light came But…” Noel pulled out a piece of paper from the pile “I think you should look at this person”

Chi-Hyun took the paper froh it indifferently, but then a look of surprise flickered in his eyes

“She’s co?” Chi-Hyun raised his head and asked Noel nodded

“Yes”

“I was thinking about her, but…how? At the perfect time…?”

“She wishes to meet you Should I tell her to coo see her in person Where is she right now?”

Unlike his usual self, Chi-Hyun hurriedly got up from his seat
