Chapter 118 – Stranger (4)

Stranger (4)

“Who would have known that the place I prepared for days and days of hard work would end so quickly?”

Sujeonno’s complaint continues even if he doesn’t have to answer the question asking for consent.

“That’s also thanks to the young master from a conglomerate family who unilaterally fights against a gathering of people who claim to be the kings of a country.”

Sujeonno let out a dejected laugh and shook his shoulders.

“Well—but that doesn’t mean I can’t understand this situation at all.”

Sujeonno, who swallowed that dejected laugh at once, looked at me and frowned.

Sujeonno, who plays drums and plays drums on her own, even though she doesn’t play the role of a horse partner at all.

“Most people associate a king with a very special and great image, but in reality it is not like that at all.”

The guy narrowed his eyes and shook his head.

“In the first place, there are few jobs that show a diverse group of people like the king. How much—”

Sujeonno stopped talking for a moment and stared at the door that Yeon Si-woo and Kang Hae-seong had left.

“For those of you who have already lived like kings, no stone has rolled as cheeky as us.”
“… So.”

There were too many words, but too many.

I said one after another, cutting off the miserable chatter that would end if I stayed still.

“What is the main point that brought me back to this seat?”
“…”

Sujeonno did not immediately answer my question.

A strange smile bloomed on the lips of the mistress who turned her head to me from the door through which the two kings had exited.

“If you’ll excuse me, may I ask about the next plan for Mr. Han Se-gye, who has returned to the capital?”
“… Well-.”

Tuk-tuk-tuk-

Instead of an iron pipe, I tapped the round table with my finger and led the horse.

Tuk-tuk-

A smile similar to the strange smile he had on his lips bloomed on my lips as well.

“I was going to get information from you and keep what I said to the young chaebol.”

Just-!

As soon as I finished my answer, a cheerful sound echoed through the private room.

The mistress, who gently crossed her fingers, pointed at me with a bright smile.

“Exactly. Why don’t you go ahead with that plan? Han Se-gye and I are forming an alliance that was the purpose of this meeting in the first place.”
“Why me?”
“Why?”

A shrug of the shoulders and a question that jumped out at once.

Answering that question, the mistress smiled casually and snapped her finger pointing at me.

“With the kid-“

Then he turned the finger towards himself.

“As a rattle brat?”

As a comrade who was insulted together by Yeon Si-woo.

However, he did not straighten his slanted head for the reason that he did not approach him convincingly.

Still glaring at the guy with a crooked head.

Sujeonno, who met that gaze, rather smiled brighter and brainwashed.

“Then—what do you think about the idea that it wouldn’t be better to be bullied by two people rather than three?”
“… Three people.”
“Yes, at this round table, except for Mr. Han Se-gye, the three. Wouldn’t it be more likely that one of the three would be defeated by Han Se-gye rather than being killed by those three?”
“Listening, it sounds like a threat.”
“That’s what it means. This is a bit of shock therapy, and I said the worst, and the default value is two people, so it doesn’t change.”

Two kings who have already left the round table.

Yeon Si-woo and Kang Hae-seong.

And the union of two people that the mistress fixes casually.

“Ah, you don’t know. It’s not that those two don’t want to form an alliance, they just don’t want to be on the same boat as us, who are degraded. Have you not seen it?”

Sujeonno poked at the vacant seat of the two and continued.

“How many signals were sent out secretly from us. Even if they don’t know if they’re alive or dead, as long as they’ve already found someone who fits their class at the round table, they’ll join forces unconditionally. This is good for any bet. It’s just confirmed, confirmed.”
“The alliance of those two could become an alliance of three, so be careful?”
“Well, if I get rejected too, shouldn’t I try to find a way to live on my own?”
“So, you can always get under Yeon Si-woo, who hated you, while giving a very long speech?”

At my question as he narrowed his eyes, the mistress slightly lifted his arms and shook them noisily.

“Don’t you remember what Yeon Si-woo called me again?”

Rattle.

The mistress, who waved his arm noisily like shaking a bell, continued to speak.

“It was a vocation that made use of my talent and aptitude. I really think so, so it’s an aptitude recognized by the conglomerate’s son.”
“Then it would be much easier to use that vocation and get under the two of them. Why do you insist on making an alliance with me?”
“Well, even though you’ve become the king, you don’t want to be left behind by other high-ranking people?”
“The reason is too trivial than I thought.”
“So you are sincere. What is world peace or social restoration? Rather than such holy meanings, the reason is human sincerity.”

And-

Sujeonno stared into my eyes with the same smile.

“Why would you put yourself under two people when you have a partner you can relate to so well?”

Tuk-

As if the handmaid was following me, he tapped the round table with his fingers.

Do you know that, Mr. Han Se-gye?

“We are a lot more alike than we thought.”
“…”
“Ah—I know what you’re talking about. You may ask what part is similar. Um- representatively, ah- please don’t misunderstand me as this is not meant to insult Mr. Han Se-gye. Typically—it smells.”

Sujeonno ate and laughed.

Yeon Shi-woo and Kang Hae-seong will never come out—

“The smell of someone who lived at the bottom.”

He raised his finger that had been tapping on the round table and pointed at me.

“I don’t mean that it really stinks or anything like that. Just—the clothes.”

He points to the black sweatpants I’m wearing.

“Anyway, the dress code is a bit more intense than Yeon Shi-woo and Kang Hae-seong.”

As soon as he finished talking, the outfits of Yeon Si-woo and Kang Hae-seong came to mind.

Wearing a stylish suit, Yeon Si-woo, who scans me all the time, and he laughs at me.

I shrugged my shoulders at the Sujeonno, who was wearing a suit similar to the two of them.

“This is much more convenient for activities, so why should I put up with the inconvenience?”
“They said that tolerating the discomfort is leisure. It’s also the cutie and the bootie.”

Sujeonno, who had a faint smile, shrugged his shoulders this time and said.

“Did someone do that? The rich can hide being rich, but the poor cannot hide being poor.”

Someone else did.

“Ah, this is my favorite movie line – if you don’t want to trust people, how about trusting the situation?”

Tuk-

Sujeonno, who evoked the atmosphere by knocking on the round table again, whispered in a low voice.

People who were already kings did not want to acknowledge the new king.

Yeon Si-woo and Kang Hae-seong, who were already kings, teamed up to deal with the new king.

And those from the bottom who became their targets.

With the kid-

Unlucky.

“No one can be alone forever in this turbulent era where many countries will be scattered anyway.”

“You’ll need a running mate to run this long race with you.”

Now that a chaebol family member and a venture entrepreneur have already made a running mate.

“Is there any reason why we shouldn’t have a running mate here?”

I asked while quietly facing Sujeonno’s pupils.

“What benefits do you get from this alliance?”
“… Yes?”
“What are the benefits of persuading me so hard? If I say that his hands are itching because I want to take care of Yeon Si-woo, how about you?”

Sujeonno answered my question with a bright smile.

“Of course you will eat the cake next to the cake you eat.”
“You don’t want the new cake, but the cake I’m holding?”

The information power of Sujeonno, who was able to visit the capital of the three kings, and the cure for infection called partial incompetence that I have.

Maybe if I knew the most powerful ability I had, I could understand this whole situation.

“Well, no matter what card Han Se-gye is hiding, I also quite like the hand I’m holding right now. I have no desire to change.”
“It may be a prejudice, but for some reason I still don’t believe it. People like you are the best at checking liver here and there.”
“So you have to join forces with me. If you taste the liver the best, you must be the best at cooking, right?”
“… Under-!”

In the end, a mischievous laugh escaped from the slightly raised head.

He shook his head and continued to smirk.

… Okay.

Whether you really need a running mate or whatever sword you have inside—

It didn’t matter anyway.

I was thinking of getting rid of the aftermath as soon as I figured out the suspicious plan.

“How long does the alliance last?”
“How do you make it ten thousand years old?”
“…”
“Ah, this is a famous line from a movie I like, but you don’t seem to know it. It’s a bit sad that a generation has arrived who doesn’t even know this movie.”

Awesome profit!

Sujeonno let out a big laugh and pulled the chair back.

“In the first place, trust in each other is important, what’s important is a period of faking it?”

A hand that stood up from its seat and calmly reached out to the center of the round table.

“Let’s just trust each other until we want to trust each other.”
“… Until you want to believe.”
“Yes, we will make it possible for you to continue to believe through actions, not words.”

Awesome profit!

I looked at Sujeonno’s soft smile and pulled the chair back.

The moment I alternately look at the face of the hand waiting for the opponent in the middle of the round table…

Sujeonno suddenly exploded with a big smile.

“Ah- I’m sorry. It’s so funny when you think about it.”

The mistress, who waved her unstretched hand here and there, hurriedly made an excuse.

“Aren’t Han Se-gye and I, strictly speaking, kings of different countries? Originally, a camera flash would go off in a place like this and there would be a lot of uproar.”

Sujeon-no, chaebol family master, venture entrepreneur, Han Se-gye.

Everyone was a citizen of the Republic of Korea, but now Seoul has become each other’s strangers.

“I’m sure the headline of the article would have appeared like this. From now on, the delightful rebellion of the child and the mistress begins!”
“…”

A hand that hesitated as it approached the hand handed out by the mistress.

Hearing what he said, a frown turned to him.

“Uh-you don’t like it. Then how about this one?”

Susanno spread his outstretched hand wider and whispered.

I responded to the whisper with a light smile and held his outstretched hand.

Chin-!

“How to easily eat the young boy and the up-and-coming rich man like a cake.”

Gentile.
