Chapter 202 (1/2)

30 minutes after the match ended. I finished greeting the audience and headed to the room where Mido was recovering. I opened the door and walked in only to see an unexpected person. He was leaning against the wall with folded arms. I c.o.c.ked my head as I watched him and a whisper arrived.

-Zhen Sulong: You came. I’m here to visit the friend who fought with me. There is your granddaughter, so I’ll pretend I don’t know you.

I nodded lightly as I made eye contact with him. He didn’t say anything, but this was enough for us. I stepped inside the room a bit more and saw Mido sitting with her upper body raised. Next to her was KIm Hyeonu, who Zhen Sulong had come to see. I saw him and started frowning. Why was this troublemaker here?

“Ah, hello.”

“You came.” Mido greeted me when she spotted me and Kim Hyeonu tried to get up from his seat.

I restrained them and beckoned for them to sit back down. “Just sit down.”

On the way here, I changed my voice using the Helium Slime’s Core so a natural voice came out. In fact, it took me a long time to come here because a female voice came out when I ate it earlier. My voice was now that of a profound a.d.u.l.t male in his late 30s.

“How are you feeling?”

“I’ve improved a lot. I lay down for a long time and was about to get up.”

“Um, I’m glad.”

“I heard about it from the NPCs. I heard you had a hard time saving me...” Her gaze shifted to the white cloth that was wrapped around my right hand.

It had become a bit tattered with blood, but the wound had already healed. It stung a bit because I sprayed a potion on it, but it was still bearable. Most of the blood belonged to that damn clown, but that wasn’t something I could say to Mido. Then Mido grabbed my hand. The situation was so sudden that I flinched.

“...This is the hand.” Mido slowly unwrapped the bandage and tears up after seeing traces of the long cut on my palm. “Hing.”

“I’m okay.”

“What? I was going to heal you if the wound still remained, but it's fine since it is already healed. You should’ve treated it a bit later. Che.”

I smiled underneath my mask at her words. She might be grumbling like this, but it seemed she was really worried. I had only seen her cheerful side, so such a granddaughter was very strange, but refreshing. The trap was that she was still beautiful.

“Ah, it is all because of that crazy clown...”

“Oppa, don’t speak such bad words!”

Mido hit Kim Hyeonu’s thigh. Kim Hyeonu closed his mouth like there was a zipper and I inwardly laughed at the sight. I inwardly thought that I should use less rude words. This way, my granddaughter would like it and she wouldn’t hurt me. Ah, that’s right. I almost forgot about it. I secretly touched Solomon’s Ring on my finger without her knowing.

[Solomon’s Ring is preparing Eyes of Judgment.]

The blue light shone and I wrapped a hand around the ring so no light would leak out.

[The ring has observed the user ‘Mido.’]

The ring seemed to see everything about Mido. I managed to calm my thumping heart as I wondered who was in Mido’s heart. It didn’t take long for me to know the results.

[Mido’s favorite person of the opposite s.e.x is ‘James.’]

* * *

[The user is currently dead.]

[You can’t send a whisper.]

“Kim Jebok, that madman is like this...”

Supreme Fire Dragon sent a whisper to Kim Jebok and sighed deeply. He wasn’t sure, but he was certain that Kim Jebok wouldn’t listen to him again. Kim Jebok no longer seemed willing to follow him. If so, should he use the last resort?

“Big Brother, what’s wrong with you?”

Supreme Fire Dragon replied, “...Kim Jebok is dead.”

“Huh? In any case, he is a real lunatic. SIgh.”

One Fire of the Fire Dragons had a twisted expression. He was always dissatisfied with Kim Jebok. It was due to the casual attitude and ungrateful manner of speaking. For him, Kim Jebok was an eyesore so this was a chance for him.

“Big Brother, can I dare to say something? No matter what you think, Kim Jebok isn’t someone who will follow us. Why don’t we throw him away first?”

“Um...”

In fact, Supreme Fire Dragon had thought about it before. However, Kim Jebok was too talented. It was natural that their power would rise if he was with them. Even so...

“Yes. After we finish this business, we will hit Kim Jebok. Tell the kids in advance. We need to capture him without any damage. He might look like that, but he is one of the best with knives.”

One Fire’s expression brightened. “I understand. Then I’ll tell them.”

Supreme Fire Dragon watched One Fire’s back gradually get further away. Then a familiar voice was heard from behind, “Are you ready?”

“...You came.”

The man who was speaking was Aidan. He was sitting in a sedan chair that nobles of the Joseon Dynasty were likely to be seen in. Supreme Fire Dragon questioned why he was riding in this. The servants holding Aidan’s sedan chair were sweating and somehow they looked pitiful. Aidan questioned, “What happened to the match? The person you said you planted.”

“Ah, he won.”
