Chapter 176. Watchguards (3) (1/2)

"…The Watchguards? Are you talking about the Watchguard of Darkness?” asked Seo Jun-Ho

"No, I’m not I must be out of it There’s no way you would’ve heard of it," shi+h that a crisp sound rang

shi+m Deok-Gu didn't show it, but he looked very disoriented

e’ </e him, Seo Jun-Ho took so a word He walked in front of the coffee pot and poured two cups of tea using the hot water from the pot

"Drink it It’ll help you calarit tea and cal

“Thanks, and sorry I shouldn't have shown you this side of me"

"It’s fine, we're friends… Don't rush and explain it to uards first"

"Yeah What the heck is that?"

"Watchguards That’s the official naanization?"

"Yeah, you probably know fro the nauard of Darkness"

"Hmm"

Seo Jun-Ho folded his aranization without his peranization’s purpose?"

"Keeping the fiends in check, continuing on Specter’s will"

"What, it's a good organization, isn't it?” However, Seo Jun-Ho felt that so's not right If there are people like that, it wouldn’t have gotten this bad, right?”

"…Because it has only been a few years since it was ers to make the number 10 "It has been exactly 10 years this year"

It was too short to say that they had a history, and it was too old to say that the organization had been just founded

"Who's the founder?"

"Arthur Green"

Seo Jun-Ho's eyes deepened

'That kid'

Seo Jun-Ho questioned his friend, “Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Arthur requested it because he didn’t want to be a burden to you"

"You should have still told ry No uncle would think his nepheas a burden In particular, Gilberto trusted Seo Jun-Ho to the point of calling hiht of Seo Jun-Ho as a brother

with Arthur when he opens his eyes’</ehtly He would be too ashamed to look at Gilberto by then

"I'm sorry I made the decision when I heard that your level was reset I decided that… that it would be poison, not medicine to you, and that it would put more pressure on you since you always had the tendency to push yourself too much"

"…damn it"

In the end, it was all because he wasn’t strong enough Seo Jun-Ho bit his lips slightly and said, "Keep going"

"Ten years ago, at the age of 19, Arthur becaan to track down the fiends"

The baby, who had only been three years old and was toddling around when Seo Jun-Ho was still active as Specter, was now a grown-up

“During that tiuards' perforht a lot of fiends," explained shi+m Deok-Gu

"The fiends must have noticed them too”

"Of course The public doesn't know of the Watchguards’ existence, but there’s no way the ones being attacked wouldn’t know"

"But if they lasted 10 years, that’s quite a long tireat"

"I helped him directly and indirectly, but for the e"

"…What a commendable kid" Seo Jun-Ho felt proud for a while then spoke once again, "But considering that the fiends are still active seely without a scratch even after 10 years of their offensive…”

Seo Jun-Ho could uards’ ability shi+ht on to exactly what Seo Jun-Ho wanted to ask and brought it up first

"First, Arthur is on the skilled side"

"On the skilled side, you say"

It was a very vague description for a Player It meant he wasn’t without talent, but was infinitely too shabby to coeniuses

"The last tio At that tiot to level 113 in 10 years?"

shi+ht At that speed, it wasn’t bad a ordinary Players

"But it’s also not that fast"

This h to overtake a talented Player

“Instead, I heard that his foundations are solid He’s not a kid who’ll make silly mistakes"

"You heard that? You didn't raise him yourself?"

"…I was only able tohim harm"

shi+m Deok-Gu hadn’t kept Arthur by his side He had even reduced his frequency of contacting Arthur in case the fiends became suspicious

"Gilberto was extremely reluctant to let his son's identity be exposed," reasoned shi+m Deok-Gu

"Yeah, you must have hidden him very well in case the fiends stalked him since he’s a very precious child"

"…I could have done better if I were as strong as you” shi+ly

If shi+ power, he could have kept Arthur by his side and protected him But he couldn’t do that because the association eak

"Froreat job as an uncle Why are you bla yourself?” Seo Jun-Ho cheered hier?"

"I told you last tiht?"

"Yeah, I heard froerous place"

"It's a city of all kinds of criminals and fiends from Earth and the Ruben Empire”

"…A du Ju-Ha referred to it as a du and was chasing a fiend associated with the ement of the Fiend association"

"Fiend associated with thefish, then”
