Chapter 73

[Even if it means turning the world into an enemy]

At times reminiscent of flowers, at times of butterflies, the pattern was drawn with simple yet graceful lines. The wallpaper itself was a meticulously crafted work of art.

If one were to ask for whom the casters, supporters, and engineers of South Korea designed this magic

A woman with brown hair sat upright, maintaining a composed posture on a stone seat.

It was the fairy Im Ga-eul.

The only woman in South Korea who possessed the gift of White Silver.

The actress who had once been called the Beauty with a Thousand Faces hadnt faded her beauty, and even now, she wore dresses that could be considered offensive depending on the person.

Rather, she was bewitching. As if she would be impaled by thorns if she reached out her hand.

No, they would be stabbed by the swords of her bodyguards waiting behind her.

The bodyguards, all over six feet tall, looked as if they could draw their swords at a moments notice.

The man on the left, unable to contain his speculation, is Lee Jung-hyun, who has a haircut that exposes his forehead, and he stares at the door as if hes going to jump out at any moment.

The man on the other side of the room is Park Sang-jin. Despite maintaining a calm demeanor, his right hand was resting on his left waistband.

The atmosphere was tense. It was no exaggeration to say that the day had come.

I wont say it twice.

Im Ga-eul, maintaining an unruffled posture, gently lifted her eyelids. Without turning around, she spoke while facing forward.

Suppress your emotions.

Lee Jung-hyun opened his mouth as if to say something.

Then he locked eyes with Park Sang-jin, took a deep breath, and killed his emotions. Park Sang-jin lowered his hands from around his waist.

The tense atmosphere that made it painful to even breathe gradually loosened.

Ga-eul, still facing forward, spoke to the bodyguards.

No matter what happens.

There was another click, a stomp of heels.

Dont provoke them.

The sound grew closer and closer, and suddenly the door burst open.

Lee Jung-hyun frowned, sensing the mana that had been getting on his nerves for a while now.

They were rude. If they were visiting the Blue House, they should be polite. Not only did they give off an unpleasant mana, but they opened the door without permission.

But he had to wipe the emotion from his face. Even though a fire was raging inside.

The Blue House isnt much better. The people are so weak.

The man who stepped into the interview room was a foreigner. He had grayish-orange hair like a giants, piercings in his ears and mouth. He had a stooped waist, and the way he put his hands in his pockets was like he was a bully.

He was wearing a suit, which only made him look more frivolous and rough.

Come on, I just showed you how lax Korean security is.

The man spread his arms in an exaggerated pose when no one responded.

While looking at the security personnel who had collapsed beyond the mans shoulder, Lee Jung-hyun had to suppress his rising anger.

Truly an unbelievably impolite man.

How dare he blatantly display his flesh while carrying a weapon in the Blue House.

A prank gone too far.

On the other hand, the foreigner who followed the man who deserved to die a hundred times was a gentleman. With his pomaded blond hair slicked back and thin-rimmed glasses, he was the kind of man youd hear about time and time again as handsome.

What am I supposed to do? Shouldnt you be grateful instead? If it werent for me, the fairy wouldnt have been an unusual assassination target.

Do it in moderation. Recognize your position as an ambassador.

Are you acting according to Valentines command?

Werent we in the same position?

Are you kidding me?

The two foreigners turned their hostility on each other.

Lee Jung-hyun couldnt keep up with what was happening in front of him.

These people are the ambassadors of Italy?

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

Youve come a long way.

It was Im Ga-eul, who interrupted the two mens eye contact, and who had been watching them, and who drew their attention back to them with a cheerful voice.

Its just that its not very polite. Maybe in Italy, but this is Korea.

Even when the man with piercings glared at her, she showed no fear.

As the leader who governed a nation.

She faced the approaching aura with an assured attitude.

I will inform Big Mama about this. Please take your seats.

Tch.

The man withdrew his aura in a sullen manner.

The men who had come from Italy took their seats as Ga-eul suggested.

The distance between them and Ga-eul was just one small circular table away.

If they wished, they could reach out to Ga-eul.

Yet, Ga-eul showed no hesitation in treating the two players as the ambassadors of Italy.

Only Lee Jung-hyun and Park Sang-jin, who were escorting her, were on high alert.

Ill greet you again, then. Nice to meet you, Italian ambassadors Zenko Myron and Albert Valentine.

The man with the piercings is Zenko Myron.

The man with the pomade is Albert Valentine.

The two ambassadors were part of the Tredici, a group of thirteen players representing Italy.

And apparently, they didnt get along well enough to antagonize each other.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Jung-hyun frowned. Bowing his head to Ga-eul, he received a stern look from Sang-jin and left the meeting room.

I apologize. But lets make sure that what happened earlier doesnt happen again.

Ga-eul didnt give the Italians any leeway.

She swiftly ended the incident that could have caused diplomatic problems with a flowing attitude.

Hwiyu~

Zenco no longer provoked her.

Even if Ga-eul is currently in her late twenties, she is the leader who rules over South Korea.

She wasnt just a figure called a fairy for no reason.

Moreover, didnt she instantly neutralize the mana that both she and Albert were about to release?

A beauty to the extent that she could be called a stunning beauty, with a well-developed figure.

A confident attitude as the leader ruling the country.

Lastly, a gift of <pure white>.

If this werent Korea, if she werent just a fairy, he would have fallen for her immediately.

Its a pity that it cant happen.

Zenco decided to step back here. Realizing that he couldnt provoke her any further, he entrusted everything to Albert.

We have been very rude.

Yes.

Albert apologized with a polite posture.

Ga-eul accepted his apology as if it were natural. She didnt leave any superficial words to show her magnanimity.

Albert didnt mind. He acknowledged that Zenco had gone too far.

It seems that Koreans are living in very difficult conditions.

Ga-eul spoke calmly, and Albert did not respond.

She already knew how isolated Koreans were living in Italy.

Not only her, but all the citizens knew.

In a world plagued by monsters and the rampant activities of the mafia, they knew what kind of life Koreans, who were not even in their own country, had to live.

Public opinion was boiling. They demanded to bring the isolated Koreans in Italy back immediately.

That was the background of the meeting between South Korea and Italy.

Italian residents in Korea dont have the same circumstances.

Once again, Albert remained silent.

From the beginning, Ga-eul didnt expect any response from the two of them. She was relieved that she didnt have to hear the insane excuse that in order for the Italians to unite, they had to make Koreans their enemies.

It seems like the atmosphere has become stifling. Should we get some fresh air?

Ga-eul gestured to Jung-hyun, who had returned to the meeting room.

He bowed his head to Ga-eul and quickly walked over, placing three glasses of beverages and a cake on the table.

You must be tired from coming all the way here. Please enjoy something sweet.

Ga-eul picked up her fork and reached out for the chocolate cake. Without paying attention to the two men watching her, she put the cake into her mouth.

Please have some.

She said once again.

The two men followed without saying a word. Somehow, they felt that they would suffer a loss if they didnt comply.

This is

Huh?

As they savored the cake, the two men showed contrasting reactions. Albert furrowed his eyebrows as he inspected the cake, while Zenco chewed the cake whole and observed the changes in his body.

What is this?

Mana surged. And not just a small amount, but enough to replenish all the consumed mana.

Albert couldnt hide his emotions.

Its a potion.

Ga-eul replied, her faint smile finally appearing on her lips.

No way. This is a potion?

The potions Albert knew were all medicinal remedies administered directly into the body in the form of syringes. Moreover, the potions he knew had low efficiency, whereas the cake he just ate instantly replenished his mana.

Theres a potion like this in Korea?

He knew little about the country called Korea.

But he knew that the cake before him would bring about a revolution in the world.

Yes, it was a revolution.

Well then, shall we continue our conversation?

Ga-eul spoke to the two men, who were still unable to regain their composure, with a smile on her lips.

Only then did the two men divert their attention from the potion.

Shall we start with something light? I heard that mana alloys containing a large amount of mana are mined in the Mediterranean.

Before the End of the Century Destruction, as well as now, South Korea and Italy had no exchanges between them.

There was no regret in the absence of exchanges with Italy.

However, Ga-eul became intrigued by the mana alloys mined in the Mediterranean.

The possibility of future exchanges with Italy was ridiculously low.

Thats why she wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to achieve two goals with one stone.
