Chapter 123: A Good Excuse (1)

Chapter 123: A Good Excuse (1)

Hello, Mr. Ryu Min. Or should I call you Prophet? Which do you prefer?

At Christines words, Ryu Min shrugged his shoulders.

Whichever youre comfortable with.

Do you have a moment to talk? Actually, not for a moment, but for a bit longer.

Yes. Please have a seat, Christine.

With Ryu Mins permission, Christine sat down opposite him.

Jeffrey stood beside them as if guarding the spot.

Ryu Mins gaze naturally turned towards him.

Arent you going to sit as well?

Im fine standing.

Jeffrey spoke brusquely, but Christine raised an eyebrow and subtly hinted at him.

Jeffrey? Didnt we agree not to make the Prophet uncomfortable?

Reading the hint in her gaze, Jeffrey cleared his throat and corrected himself.

If its alright, then Ill sit.

Of course. Please make yourself comfortable. Theres no need to be on guard.

Ryu Min smiled reassuringly, though Jeffreys expression remained stiff.

He was someone who naturally didnt smile much in front of others.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

Perhaps thinking the atmosphere had become awkward, Christine quickly introduced Jeffrey.

This is Jeffrey, our synagogues deacon. Hes practically family, having been with my father since childhood.

Is that so.

Ryu Min had already recognized him.

The assassin who had been tailing him on Nathans orders last time.

Nice to meet you for the first time. My name is Ryu Min.

Technically, it wasnt their first meeting, but he extended his hand, mentioning it on purpose.

It was to gauge the reaction, but Jeffrey, unexpectedly, shook his hand with an uncomfortable expression.

Jeffrey.

Seeing him uncomfortable, he must have some conscience.

Upon probing his inner thoughts, he didnt seem like a bad person.

More than anything, his feelings towards Christine were unexpected, but he didnt mention it.

I cannot tell you. Just mentioning a name could change the future. You might not be saved and could die.

The sure thing is that you must not negate the person who will save you then.

Should I cling to him?

If you put it negatively, yes. If positively, maintain that connection. If you miss that chance, the life you barely saved will end before the 15th round. Thats all I can tell you.

Hmm

Christine became thoughtful.

To be attacked by a group that wont acknowledge me in the 11th round?

Who could have imagined such a tragedy would unfold?

Cant you tell me who the threatening group is?

No. I cant tell based on the scenes Ive seen.

Regret appeared on Christines face.

It would be nice to know who the threatening group is

Fortunately, someone will come to save her like a knight in shining armor, but it would be better to eliminate the danger beforehand if possible.

Ah, or should I let the future flow as it will, so I can connect with that savior?

To wait for a lifeline while intentionally facing danger?

It would require considerable courage, knowing whats to come.

Dont worry too much, Christine. Just let things take their course.

But

Worrying about the future that hasnt happened yet is as useless as it gets. Maybe my future prediction will be wrong. The future changes moment by moment based on the present.

Thats why I dont worry too much. Just consider it a warning. Its more important to survive the next round than to worry about what danger the 11th round might bring.

Christine nodded as if agreeing that worrying was foolish.

Why fret over something that hasnt happened yet?

For the time being.

Since it came up, Ill tell you about the 9th round quest.

At those words, Ma Kyung-rok, Christine, and Jeffreys attention was all focused on Ryu Min.

Information about the next round was exactly what they wanted.
