Chapter 306. The Saint of the Empire (7) (2/2)

“Seo Jun-Ho,” the two assassins snarled They hadn’t expected hied instantly

“This has nothing to do with you Just keep going where you’re headed instead of causing trouble,” they warned

“Why does it not?” He slowly turned his head and looked at Cha Si-Eun She looked like she was at a loss for words “I’et involved in others’ fights” Such was the cold-hearted world of Players After all, they would rarely have a reason or desire to interfere

“But there are exceptions,” he said

When it caht the whole world to protect theht the Saintess was Secretary Cha’

He was flabbergasted after seeing her face froined that she would even be a Player, let alone a famous one like the Schuic from her in the past

‘And on another hand, I feel a little bitter’

He gave a self-deprecating siven you ht ht I was trustworthy enough”

“That’s” Cha Si-Eun muttered as she looked down into the pitch-black waters of the river Wrong—she just didn’t like causing trouble for others She didn’t want to be a weakling who had to ask others for help, she wanted to confidently face the world as her own Player She wanted to tell him that she was able to come this far thanks to his advice But as she trailed off, the wind eleale and pressed Seo Jun-Ho back

“I don’t like saying the sa nice”

“What if I say no?”

“If you want to make an enemy out of Rock Blood, I won’t stop you”

Rock Blood? Seo Jun-Ho turned his head He had never heard of such a ridiculously-naanization

However, Cha Si-Eun seerehite

“Do you know them?” Jun-Ho asked

“T-they’re the uild who kills people forin Seoul”

“So they’re trash”

A rock would never bleed If there were blood on a rock, that ed to someone who dared to cross them

Seo Jun-Ho snorted at the vicious yet coup the fiends, but it seems that the fiends are not the only probles become like this? The past had been oal, and it was an era of glory whence they stood against monsters as one

“I miss the old days”

“You sound like an old h He finally understood why elderly people often gru just to witness such things

“So, you’re not going to leave?” the assassin asked with sharp eyes

“Secretary Cha—wait, you’re not a secretary anymore, so Miss Si-Eun”

“Yes?” she said, surprised She had countless conversations with him at the Player association, but she had never heard him use such a cold voice

“I’m sorry you couldn’t trust ht about it, she knew very well how human he was After his return, she had seen him injuredthe situation with Janabi That was probably why’

The reason why she couldn’t readily ask for his help was probably that she didn’t think he was that strong Her kindness, which bordered idiocy, et hurt as well

“I don’t know if I can beco fortress like you want,” he said

Cha Si-Eun’s eyes greide He used the word “fortress” as if he had read her thoughts

“But, if you ever need to rest I can at least be a fence for you”

“”

Cha Si-Eun opened and shut her rew hot, and she eventually squeezed them shut

He always seemed to find her to offer her another path whenever she was pondering over so

‘Thank you’

The tears she had been holding back spilled over as she opened her eyes She bit her lip and nodded “I I still have a long, long way to go But could I hide behind that fence?”

Seo Jun-Ho fixed his eyes on the two assassins and grinned The ansas simple

“Of course”

“You don’t seem like the obedient type,” one of the out He exchanged glances with his partner

‘He’s an unexpected factor, but’

‘Seeht’

At that, the two assassins vanished completely

‘Invisibility?’

Seo Jun-Ho scanned the dark river No, this wasn’t si They can hide their presence itself’

Suddenly, a sharp, twisting sound cut through the quiet riverwaters as if the air were being ripped apart Seo Jun-Ho turned his body

“Wind! One of theo in the water, too!” Cha Si-Eun shouted

“I see” He couldn’t see his enemies, and he had to endure invisible attacks on top of that

However, Seo Jun-Ho actually had a small smile on his face

‘This is the best’

He recently ate a very delicious potion Well, he wasn’t actually sure if it was delicious just yet

‘This bastard It hasn’t done anything ever since then, so I’m not sure’

However, in a situation like this, where his five senses were useless, it would have to start working if it had a conscience

‘Get to work, Intuition,’ he started chanting to himself
