Chapter 141 (1/2)

Editor: you

[Wisdom rises by 1.]

When he shut the book, a message appeared and Soo-hyuk stood up to return the book.

‘Huh?’

Soo-hyuk got up from his seat and stopped moving.

-Yeon-jeung ： Soo-hyuk.

There was a whisper from Yeon-jeung.

-Soo-hyuk: What is it?

Soo-hyuk responded to Yeon-jeung’s whisper and continued heading towards the bookshelf. And when he arrived at the bookshelf, a whisper returned from Yeon-jeung.

-Yeon-jeung: Answers more quickly next time! I sent it 40 minutes ago.

-Soo-hyuk: Oh, it was sent 40 minutes ago?

-Yeon-jeung: Yes!

-Soo-hyuk: I’m sorry, but what is it?

-Yeon-jeung: The matter with Lilith was solved.

-Soo-hyuk: Oh really? What happened? Did she really sell information?

-Yeon-jeung: Oh, she betrayed us. She only has been expelled from the guild. For now.

At Yeon-jeung’s words, Soo-hyuk was bound to be surprised.

It was because Yeon-jeung had already suspected it, but he didn’t think she would have really betrayed them. A misunderstanding, he thought it was a misunderstanding.

-Soo-hyuk: Are you okay?

-Yeon-jeung: I’m trying to get my head clear. It’s a bit all over the place.

-Soo-hyuk: Be strong.

The only thing he could say in the current situation was to be strong.

-Yeon-jeung: Yes, thank you. But would you like to come to the big meeting?

-Soo-hyuk: The meeting?

Soo-hyuk tilted his head.

-Yeon-jeung: Uh, we’ll decide how we’ll proceed with Lilith.

Soo-hyuk looked at the bookshelf, understanding what Yeon-jeung meant to do in this meeting.

Then he whispered to Yeon-jeung again.

-Soo-hyuk: Do I have to go?

-Yeon-jeung: No, it’s ok.

-Soo-hyuk: Well, sorry.

-Yeon-jeung: All right. See you later.

Soo-hyuk ended his whisper with Yeon-jeung. And he thought as he took a book out of the bookshelf.

‘It’s a shock. To think she betrayed him.’

Yeon-jeung and Lilith had been together for a really long time. But she was a traitor?

‘Yeon-jeung must be quite shocked.’

Soo-hyuk, who had little to do with Lilith, was already quite shocked.

It must have hit Yeon-jeung, who was really close with her, quite hard.

Shhh

Soo-hyuk took out five books and looked around the bookshelf.

‘I’ll be done with reading everything in two days.’

The amount of remaining books were shrinking faster than I thought. He expected to be able to read all those books in the next two days.

Jumble

After pondering, Soo-hyuk returned to the desk.

—————————————————————

‘Reader’ guild house’s conference room.

Mumble Mumble

Numerous guild members had gathered and were talking with each other.

“Why was Lilith suddenly expelled?”

“What happened?”

“She was also my friend.”

“What? She was your friend, too?”

There was only one topic for the guild members’ conversation.

It was Lilith’s expulsion.

The guild members were talking about why Lilith was expelled.

It was then.

Kwiiig!

The door opened and Yeon-jeung, who called the guild members together, entered.

“Is everyone here?”

Yeon-jeung, who entered the conference room, looked around the guild members and said.

“I think everyone who could attend is here.”

After checking the guild member’s face, Yeon-jeung went straight to the main point.

“The reason I called the meeting today is Lilith, as you might have expected.”

Yeon-jeung no longer added ‘-nim’ to Lilith. After hearing Yeon-jeung’s words, some guild members guessed what had happened.

“Lilith was selling information to the Dokgo guild.”

At the words of Yeon-jeung that followed, the guild members were still shocked, nonetheless.

“Is that true?”, asked guild member Pigeon. Pigeon was showing an unbelieving expression.

It couldn’t be easy to believe that Lilith, the Vice-Guildmaster, sold the information to the Dokgo Guild, out of all rivaling guilds.

“Yes.”

Yeon-jeung smiled at the Pigeon’s question.

Then he said.

“I thought a lot about what to do.”

He was really troubled about it.

“I came to the realization that it was not something I could decide on my own.”

And he realized.

That it is not something you can decide on your own.

If she had only been his acquaintance then it would be his decision alone.

But Lilith wasn’t just an acquaintance. She was the Vice-Guildmaster of’Reader’.

In other words, Lilith’s matter had to be consulted with the guild members.

The guild members could not say anything to Yeon-jeung’s words. However, after a while, one of the guild members opened his mouth.

“Then this conference is to elect a new… … . No, is it to make a decision about what to do with Lilith?”

It was Pigeon who opened his mouth again this time. Unlike the beginning, Pigeon’s expression was full of anger.

“Yes.”

Yeon-jeung nodded at Pigeon’s words.

“I want to hear your thoughts on what to do.”

“I …”

As soon as Yeon-jeung finished speaking, Pigeon opened his mouth as if waiting.

“I think we place an execution order on her head.”

“… … That’s how it happened.”

After hearing everything from Lilith, Sun’n’Star frowned.

“Sorry.”
