When Hashi+lsa came, the Ghost shi+p that sunk rose up fro happened to it

While Drinpelt and Griffith battleshi+ps were da on the naval warfare

The worst possibility was that they could lose everything, though it will be even more difficult to return back to Versailles Continent

------------------------

After Naval Warfare concluded and it was finally time to return back to Versailles Continent with his friends It’s gonna be a pleasant voyage

The living sculptures divided ast themselves into the three Ghost shi+ps Weed, his friends, and Seo Yoon all rode on one shi+p

“Kahem! Silver Bird come here and say hello”

Peyoc, tweet, chirp Silver Bird folded her wings and greeted the rod to catch food, while Weed cooked his special seafood soup

While they were eating their food, Hwaryeong began telling the story of their arrival when they came after the Ghost shi+p fleet

“This taste delicious! Whenthe Iht have arrived too late…”

Their shi+p’s speed was so slow that they arrived just in the nick of time

Irene added to the explanation

“Now, Mer and dancing Zephyr also helped out a group of captive dolphins”

Bellot sang with her voice in precise and fine tune, singing a sweet song joyfully After gathering the Mer and instead he tossed and fed the dolphins ather

Thanks to that, they arrived just on time

Weed introduced his friends and Seo Yoon to each other

They worked and hunted with her and Seechwi for a brief period in the past, so it was not like they didn’t know each other

“”

Seo Yoon face was like a mask, since she usually doesn’t speak with other people

If it was not so she needed to say to Weed, it was difficult for her to talk

After all the greetings are done, Weed spread out a cloth on the floor, that he uses when sewing

“Co on 1, 190 gold, please play the ga the voyage!

Weed proposed to Hwaryeong and Bellot, While Irene, Zephyr and Rolances

‘As expected It seeain’

‘that …’

‘There can be no ood idea to take sides in advance and do fraudulent ga But now, It was just the opposite!

They were going to satisfy Weed by losing to hiame

“Don’t just watch come over and play”

“”

“Do you not kno to play? I’ll show you how to play Its easy all you need to know are a few rules“

Weed knew the truth that Seo Yoon was rich, so he dragged her in because of his greed

“All you need to do is to collect a lot There are several iood Its even possible to get Gwanght tile)”

They went around in circles a couple of tihtly, and Weed who is trying to earn easy money from others their face was very tense as they played

Bellot and Irene folded their tiles, while Weed, Pale, and Seo Yoon continued to played GoStop

In front of Seo Yoon, a lot of tiles were stacked on her side Weed and Pale had light a after the bonus, on the second rotation a hit has occurred

And it already it came to a point where a hit was called out twice

‘Pibak and Gwangbak (another game term), on top of that two GO were called’

Weed and Pale concentration were sharper than ever

They had little amounts of tiles, while in front of Seo Yoon there were a lot

Even the people on the side were immersed in tension, It was finally Seo Yoon’s turn

Chak

As Seo Yoon took PalGong (go-stop card tero-stop terroup

“Are you really going to choose to go to ththree Go?”

Weed asked with difficulty

At thiselse

‘If she has a least bit of conscience she won’t possibly go to three’

Changdong (gaold (1st hit is called) and one can win up to 2, 000 gold in one game (when third hit is called)

Seo Yoon nods to Weed’s question and shows hi the whole day Weed lost 6, 290 gold to Seo Yoon who continually wiped the board clean

-----------------------------------------------

KMC Media relayed the Battle of Jigolaths for the whole day Of course they had the highest rating, but it was not as big an issue as they thought

-I already thought and expected it would be such a fight

-Weed knocked down a Dragon while riding on top of a Wyvern In the continent of roup of users was a very common occurrence

There were a lot of players that had never experienced the High Seas of the ocean, but now their interest quickly fell and everyone were now concentrating on the Central Continent

Prestigious Guilds have waged war and conducted a series of raids

It was a battleground between es and castles

Everybody were fiercely involved in the war and previously unknown strong players eious guild were actively fighting in the dark inflicting blows to their opposition

“Sigh, the real Autumn is really short”

As Lee Hyun saw the leaves falling, he was feeling uncertainty towards his tuition fees

“For the semester to be over so soon and to be so expensive, After winter vacation passes I’ll have to do another seh as he quickly walked home to rest

They were currently in the h they were in no danger, he employed his friends ere stationed at specific position as a precaution

“I should focus onsculptures and make some leather robes until we arrive”

The only person as excited to do the grinding was Lee Hyun However when heading back towards his house, he saw that there was a black car and people wearing suit waiting in front of his house As he was trying to avoid them, they came forward and spoke to him

“Excuse me, but are you Lee Hyun?”

Lee Hyun answered nonchalantly

“Yes? And you are?”

If an incident were to occur its best to feign ignorance!

He pretended he didn’t hear any of theuys that were there were Seo Yoon’s bodyguards he has seen a few times before

“We came here to discuss about what happened between you and Seo Yoon The president is waiting, do youa few

Seo Yoon’s father had called for hiely foreboding

He wasn’t surprised because he knew that so like this would happen one day Which was the reason he was being nice to her

Everytihly predicted that a day like today would happen

“I see Let’s go”

Lee Hyun followed them

-----------------------------------------

Accouards, they arrived in front of a luxurious Mansion with an iarden

“Is this Seo Yoon’s house?”

When Lee Hyun asked, the security flinched but replied as if they didn’t think of it as a secret

“Seo Yoon does not live hereThis is a summer house that the President uses sometimes”

This is how heDeuk Soo

He offered a seat to Lee Hyun

“Come on in Did you have a meal yet?”

In this situation, Lee Hyun would have usually replied to this question that he hadn’t eaten anything at all

That was his creed

He felt aard eating so early as it wasn’t even 5 pm and in any case he didn't want to embarrass himself

“Thank you but that’s okay I already ate a lot for lunch”

“Then we shall have soht refresh to say to ht”

“Oh no, you're not in any trouble To uest so don’t worry about it”

President Jeong Deuk Soo got up and brought out soht refreshhter Seo Yoon at the Korean National University and I also have heard that you have been going on fun adventures together in Royal Road What kind of adventures do you mainly do?”

“I just did this and that”

“Your adventures were even on TV shows, is it fa Deuk Soo was very interested Lee Hyun’s work

Lee Hyun briefly told him about the Freya’s church Quest, Lich shi+re quest, and the fights he had been in

Although President Jeong Deuk Soo had only been briefed for about 10interest

The only thing that Jeong Deuk Soo was thinking about was his daughter

“Does Seo Yoon…occasionally smile?”

“Seo Yoon does smile sometimes, but it only lasts for a brief moment”

“I've recently heard that … Seo Yoon has started to speak again Yet, I have been told that she only speaks with you”

“Yes”

“What do you think of ht that their talk suddenly took a dangerous turn

‘From theabout’

Any parents, to be honest wants to know about the guys their daughter iswith

In Lee Hyun’s case, he would show the saent concern when it cauy she uy, it was also best to check the possible opponent to make sure he is not a player

Lee Hyun had to take care of his younger sister since childhood, so he understood the position of a parent

And he understand and guessed the thoughts of the President Jeong Deuk Soo feeling for his child

It’s wasn't s nonetheless

“Just as you said…I seebehind Seo Yoon’s first word ‘Friend’ was a a friend

“I heard hter relies on you a lot Nevertheless, are you sure you don’t have any other feelings? You are after all, a man”

“I just see her as a my friend”

Seo Yoon is beautiful, selic

Although he underwent such a merciless defeat in GoStop, still…

‘She is someone who is kind to me’

In addition, she coht that there was nothing that he could give her that she didn’t already have

Since he was a child he had to face many hardshi+ps

In school, all his class with their parents to buy shoes, and whenever they show off their clothes and toys he had to stay hunched over his desk While he had to worry about electricity bill, water bill, and rent whenever he came home

Now Lee Hyun doesn’t have to worry tooexpenses, and coe, he had a considerable as on his own

Nevertheless since he was young coh many different experiences

To be a , was no simple matter

Even if she wishes for it It was best to avoid it

Seo Yoon heart has always been distant

The distance was not sohter, when she was young, she experienced a trau time she could not speak Only recently, since she has been with you, has she started to speak again But she still only speaks with you… Lee Hyun”

He heardhe didn’t know about Seo Yoon’s life from his father

‘She really couldn’t speak’

For 10 years she lived closed off inside a building from the world Seo Yoon was in a pitiable state, her fa her become unspeakably sad

“To me you are a benefactor So I have prepared a reward for you I know this is not remuneration for all that you have done but take this and continue to be Seo Yoon’s best friend and I shall reward you again Please continue to help heal hter’s wound But beyond that, it would be difficult so I hope you understand”

President Jeong Deuk Soo put a white envelope next to the teacup

“I have heard that you have a lot of things to pay for so I have put money in it”

Lee Hyun raised his head andDeuk Soo after he looked at the envelope

“I’m sorry I can not take this The reason why Seo Yoon is able to talk is because of her oill I have done nothing for her”

“Its not a small amount… it should help you in your current situation”

“This is not because ofabout thisexpenses and food cost, his younger sister’s insurance and savings

Also his grandmother’s hospital bill that he needs to pay continually

A chronic arthritis, and her treat her weak

During the hospitalization and rehab for a fewout with other elderly people

His growth of his thoughts and speech he learned fro with people

Even though he could go hoement to do at the hospital so he stayed

Every month the amount of money that needs to be paid was a lot, Lee Hyun continued to earn h Royal Road

“Money…is really a precious things I think that one does not need to stand up for his pride for money It’s true that I need a lot of money for my family However I can provide my family with the money that I have earned”

If it was in Royal Road, he would have deliberately rejected Just so he could extort much more money!

However in reality he did not want to receive such money He could provide for his family with his oer If it was for this reason, he could achieve anything

The secretary standing next to President Jeong Deuk sobgan to talk

“This is theThink of if as a token of gratitude for all the things that you have done till now”

“I can not receive this because I think of Seo Yoon as a friend”

“What?”

“I do not want to earnmy friendshi+p As a friend, you are there to help when they go through difficult ti in return”

If he was to receive the money, it would have been an i in debt for a long time He did not want to feed his fa his friendshi+p

Lee Hyun thought to hi I know is how to earnDeuk Soo did not have anyFroet hurt anymore”

“I’ll try my best”

After Lee Hyun finished his conversation, he got up frouards out of the villa, and looked back at the impressive house owned by Seo Yoon’s father

Seo Yoon’s father only presented hih it was athat left a bad taste, he was envious of the fact that she still had her parents

Since the first tinored Then he created the Freya’s Sculpture that resembled her, which the people were in awe of She was a type of person with a redoubtable worth you only watch and protect frole 10that I have not taken it Frorinding to make up theDeuk Soo drank froot froood man In order to heal Seo Yoon's heart, I can see that he is the best person to do it Still to turn down 1 billion won … was the report that he needed ?”
