“Haha, I see you’re still eave her a happy s stridesThen… he kissed her on both of her cheeks
This was the ‘Social Kiss’, one thatChul-in >
Podolski told Lee Chae-rin withouthis lips, a truly hard skill to master
<He’s already inside your territory >
She was very surprised
<Don’t make it obvious, he senther Kang Chul-in’s words rapidly, he put both his ar
“HahahaAs always, you s to kiss you, what should I do?”
And as he said that, he leaned in again to kiss her cheeks, and spoke
<Tonight, he will come and meet you personally >
With that, Lee Chae-rin finally felt relief

“Hmm… Adventurers?”
Near the Dorado territory were 30 adventurers doing a sort of customs check
“Yes, sir”
The e beard, with a bald headHe looked ily at the surveyors with his massive, muscular bodyThis was none other than Billy, who had joined in the hunt for the Peacock Dragon in ‘Teaet here?”
The dwarven surveyor looked at them with an uncomfortable expression
“I saw the recruitment posterIt seeht for her in the battle?”
“Oh, so you’re uess”
“Then it’s two gold per day, and you’ll have to stay in an area that’s uysIs that clear?”
“Why just that place? I also want to take a look at the Lord who hired us”
“That’s not going to work” shouted the dwarf
“Our lord has no plans on uysIf you want to work here, then follow the rulesIf not, then GET OUT!”
After receiving the slightly harsh treatment from him, the adventurers felt a bit unco
“There’s no reason to be sohis bald head
“Well, I guess notThe only thing that really matters to us is the moneyFine, we’ll stay in that area then”
“Good” That dwarf surveyor nodded his head, and after warning theuysCome over here”
A darrior beckoned them over, and lead them to an isolated areaIt was a very small place, with limited space
“Leader”
The one sitting next to Billy whispered to Kang Chul-in
“This, is really weirdThis is completely different from your area, leaderThose dwarven bastards are so unfriendly, and the way they look at us makes me uncomfortableDoesn’t this mean that MissChae-rin’s authority over here is very poor?”
Billy’s insight was spot-on
“You’re right”
“This won’t be easy then”
“Then we’ll make it work”
“Of course, what can’t we do with leader here?”
The way that Billy looked at Kang Chul-in was full of trust and adon last ti Chul-in was
“Okay, you guys be quiet for nowLet naled the others to be quiet, and everyone turned silent
Dorado itself was brilliantBut the situation couldn’t be worseThe tension in the air could be felt
And even though they were mercenaries, the way they were treated was alh they took ainst the enemyBut the fact that the dwarves made sure that they couldn’t meet with the person that had hired them was ridiculous
‘They’re afraid that she would regain authority by allying with the adventurers against the Chul-in now felt that all this wasn’t really Chae-rin’s fault, but everyone’s collective responsibility
Fro, it was unlucky that there was a female ruler with the dwarvesAnd for a naive, nice person like Chae-rin, it was obvious that she wouldn’t have fought back and intimidate the dwarves
Of course, if it was hi beaten up these disrespectful dwarves and shown them their placeBut for someone like Chae-rin, this was obviously impossibleHe could now see why she asked for his help
‘If I had come here with the army of my territory, they would have disrespected her even roup of adventurers here instead,’ he thought
A leader that tried to bring in an outer force or power noric
Even just for her i another army hereThe fact that he wanted to save the arether perfectly
Not only that, the deal with her stated that he was to help her get out of this situation, and not create a leadershi+p ruled by an outer force
‘Right now, the cleansing of the inner forces are more importantWe need authority’
As expected of an experienced veteran, Kang Chul-in could see what he needed to do first
He needed to calm the unrest in their forces, before they could even think about fighting the other forces
There was no way that the ould go well if there was an internal dispute
Kang Chul-in sloaited for the night to come, where he could finally converse with Chae-rin
He could almost smell the stench of blood on his two short swords on his belt
