Chapter 343

Episode 343

“Are you trying to recommend someone from Sega?”

“I see.”

“I don’t know your intention. “It’s not like they’re trying to create a bond to continue friendly relations.”

“Is there even a need for that? Between us.”

I frowned slightly.

It was annoying to see him subtly trying to narrow the distance.

You’ve said this before, but since when did you start using the expression “we’re so close?”

Perhaps because they had heard that this side had reached absolute heights, their attitude was more blatant than before.

“If you do that, what is the purpose?”

“When you say that, doesn’t it seem like I have dark intentions?”

“.......”

“Okay, so don’t look at me like that. In fact, this is not mine, but the will of Lord Taesang. “He wanted me to tell you a story.”

“Do you mean the head of the Taesang family?”

“It seems like you decided that it would be better to ask me, who is close to you, rather than say it yourself.”

“Who is the person you are recommending...”

“Kwon Ryong (拳龍).”

“Kwon Ryong? Are you talking about Hwang Bo-jin Sohyeop?”

“I don’t think it would be a bad story for you either. Although it is not yet known to the public, he is a master who has reached the pinnacle of excellence. “If you collect it under your control, there will be endless ways to use it.”

He reached his peak at an age when he wasn’t even two years old.

It was clear that it was a talent not often found.

Within Cheonan Gambu, it is at best a mid-ranking level.

Dangseoyeon, Cheon Ga-ryeong, Simaun, Cheon-woo, Chang-in, Hong Seong-hyeon, Hwa-daerang, etc.

Among the later exponents of the time, there were many whose skills did not match their age.

Enthusiasts often refer to this as the golden age of talent, but my thoughts were a little different.

The reason for the rapid growth of the later indices of the time was none other than the Great War.

War accelerates unmanned growth.

There are many people who are divided in the process, but those who survive will definitely become stronger.

A representative example was the Cheonwoo Dojo.

Didn’t he also achieve rapid growth in a situation where he was pushed to the limit, where his monastic order collapsed and his executioners died?

Of course, not all late exponents entered the battlefield.

Among them, there were not many who participated in dangerous battles.

However, a late index that achieved rapid growth was bound to have a great impact on those around it just by its existence.

It could be said that it was a natural trend for people to try to catch up with those who had become objects of envy and jealousy.

Going back to the story.

As Hwang Bo-kyung said, Kwon Ryong was a great talent.

Although I used a disparaging expression earlier, that was only because the subjects of comparison were the members of the Cheonan Inspector General.

If we look at the martial arts world as a whole, Hwang Bo-jin was also a talented person who could easily be ranked in the top ranks.

It’s not like a transcendent expert is common anywhere.

Although he only had no experience participating in war, his capabilities were clear.

To use a metaphor, it was a gem that had not been polished.

It was clear that with a little bit of refinement, it would become a usable force.

“I have even more doubts. “What reason would there be for Hwang Bose to give up such a talented person?”

“There are a lot of doubts. The reason is simple. “The goal is to make him come to his senses, even if it means using somewhat coercive methods.”

“......?”

“That guy is nice, but his personality is a bit gloomy. I often compare myself to others and dig a tunnel...”

A bitter comment.

A burst of laughter came out.

No matter how you look at it, isn’t this something you should say to an outsider?

“I’m also very timid about such topics, so I never want to get involved in anything dangerous. Actually, when the decision was made to go to South Manchuria, I asked him to go with me. “They refused mercilessly, using the excuse of closed pipe training.”

“Did you?”

“If he becomes a member of Cheonan Gambu and becomes a member, he will change a little. The Lord of the House of Lords is hoping that he will change a little. “Me too.”

‘There’s no need to force someone to interact even if they don’t like it.’

Hwang Bo-jin took a step forward and spat out words full of all kinds of rhetoric.

Cheon Ji-ryeong naturally took a step back and widened the distance between him and him.

A time when a strange confrontation ensued.

I said, crossing my arms and tilting my head crookedly.

“I think Hwangbo Sohyeop is misunderstanding something.”

“......?”

“There is no need for the small cooperative to accompany us.”

“What do you mean?”

“This meeting is simply for the purpose of exchanging greetings and not to announce the joining of the small cooperative.”

“yes? “Does that mean you’re going to leave me behind?”

“That’s right.”

“Then what am I supposed to do alone?”

Raised voice.

Although his tone of voice had become more polite than in the past, the hostility towards me was still permeated in his voice.

I suddenly remembered the time when I used to take Cheonwoo Dojang and Changin Dojang with me.

“Of course, you have to go to the main branch of the university and take the entrance exam first. “Isn’t it impossible to ask Sohyeop, who is not even a member of Cheonan Gambu, let alone a member, to carry out the mission given by the leader?”

“......ah.”

When Hwang Bo-jin answered as if he was asking such an obvious question, his expression became blank.

It seems that he finally remembered that he was not an official member, but a reserve member.

Two days later.

My colleagues and I left Hwangbo Family and set off on a journey to Hebei.

“......brother.”

Late at night.

After finishing washing the dishes and returning to the campsite, Dok-go-seong quietly came next to me and started talking.

I answered by throwing an appropriately sized piece of firewood into the bonfire.

“why?”

“It’s so awkward I feel like I’m going to die.”

“What are you talking about?”

“I mean this Sozer.”

“Why Suyeon?”

Dok Go-seong did not answer right away but looked around.

Cheon Ga-ryeong and Lee Soo-yeon were currently away, saying they were going to Masil.

No matter what Dok Go-seong said here, the two wouldn’t be able to hear it.

“I think I really hate this Soger.”

“You looked hateful? “What happened?”

“I don’t know that. Since we were in the same age group, we often moved together under instructions from our older brother, but each time, an uncomfortable atmosphere was created...” “I think it’s a bit

insufficient to say that we were hated by that alone.”

“At first, I was very anxious too. Because this little guy treats other people equally coldly. “I didn’t think it was because they hated me in particular.”

“.......”

“But after watching it for the past few days, I don’t think that’s necessarily the case. Should I be cautious and try to keep my distance? “I think they see me as a competitor rather than a colleague.”

I didn’t know what to answer.

It was a very difficult problem.

It is impossible to interfere with each and every member’s personal circumstances.

Honestly, I never thought that Lee Soo-yeon would be this bad at getting along with others.

I thought there might be a change in my personality as a side effect of learning ice skills, but I wasn’t too worried.

At least he always showed his gentle side when dealing with me.

Of course, it was an individual’s freedom no matter who they formed a friendship with.

In the same vein, even if Lee Soo-yeon ostracized and pushed away the people around her, it wasn’t my business to interfere.

‘but.’

Considering that it was a side effect of martial arts, I couldn’t help but be concerned.

What action should I take in this situation?
