Chapter 33 – Episode 33 Why Won’t You Admit It?

“Da, what the hell was that?”

Way back home.
Lee Hye-ri bit her lip and recalled what happened to Kim Si-woo earlier.
It’s like asking her to take off her clothes, saying it’s a shame test right out of the box, and groping her body like a pervert right after taking it off.
It was full of incomprehensible things.

‘Did Ara go through something like this?’

If this really happened…

‘It’s no different from sexual harassment.’

Stripping a woman’s body at will.

‘It was my will to take it off, but… It was he who ordered it.’

I touched you at will. He even took off what was left of her and made fun of her body.
Of course, it didn’t go as far as the actual action.
He didn’t seem to be interested in that either.

“Shocking.”

That also scratched Lee Hye-ri’s pride.
In her own way, she thought she was confident in her figure and appearance, but she felt oddly bad that she didn’t do anything in that situation.
Then, it was funny that she secretly and seriously gave a solution.

“Was it really his method?”

Seeing that she raised Yuara, I don’t think she’s incompetent.
It was hard to admit.
It was natural.
I took off my clothes and did all kinds of things.

“Ugh… Don’t be fooled. That person is a mess.”

It will.
I must have been lucky to have raised Yuara.
She might have been able to communicate because she and that man matched well.

“Okay. That’s it.”

But that’s it.

-I saw your potential that even your brother couldn’t see. If you don’t want to receive it, don’t take it. I am not forcing you to learn. There is no need for that.

Siwoo Kim’s words before leaving the house kept lingering in my mind.

‘The potential that even my brother has not seen…’

Do you really have the qualities of a tanker like he said?
Everyone shouted to play the dealer.
I don’t know why he would want to be a tank with S-level dealing skills and dealer stats.

Okay.
It is true that Mobility Strike, an S-class skill, is not an ordinary skill.
But she’s been dreaming for a long time.
She wants to be a tank like her brother.

She remembered her strong shield, the only one that protected her in that hell full of monsters that had killed their parents.
That huge shield penetrated deep into Lee Hye-ri’s heart and changed her life.
I wanted to lighten the burden for my brother who was enduring pain for others.

-You are right to be a dealer. Don’t bother walking the hard road.

Her brother, Li Kang-san, who is 13 years older than her.
Those were the words he told her after returning from attacking her S-class gate.
I know her will, but I’m not a tanker.

– Only I knew. Your potential.

Again, Kim Si-woo’s voice shimmered in his ears.

“No…”

Your brother will know too.
Because I won first place in this final exam.
Because the overall first place in the first semester was Lee Hye-ri herself.
You know
That she has talent as a tanker.

Lee Hye-ri picked up her smart phone.
Then she dialed Li Kang-san’s number abroad.

Turrrr.

It’s not long after the signal sounds.

-Oh, it’s Hyeri. What’s the matter?

I heard Lee Kang-san’s heavy and hearty voice.
Lee Kang-san, her pillar and shield.
My heart was relieved by the reassuring voice of my older brother.

“Brother.”
– I heard she started vacation. Are you coming to America for a while?
“It’s not like that… There is something I want to ask you.”
-What?
“Did you hear that I won first place this time?”
-Heard. He is also my brother Hyeri, I believed that if it were you, you would definitely win first place.

The corners of Lee Hye-ri’s mouth twitched at Lee Kang-san’s recognition.

“Yeah, as oppa said, I won first place as a tanker.”
-… What?
“Your brother told me the other day. I’ll think about it if I get first place as a tanker.”
-Have you not let go of that lingering attachment yet?

Lee Kang-san’s voice became cold.

-It’s Hyeri. I’ve said it over and over again You’re a good dealer, not a tank. Your abilities…

He’s a savvy brother
An impregnable oppa who never changes what he has decided once.
At Lee Kang-san’s words, Lee Hye-ri bit her lip.
I got 1st place.
She got first place as a tank, beating everyone else.

Why won’t you acknowledge me?

“Brother, I’m ranked first as a tanker. I have a talent. ..”
-No, he’s a dealer who only pretends to be a tanker with a spear.

Lee Kang-san’s voice was firm.

“What?”
-I saw the second test you participated in. Teaming up with Baek Han-beom and a girl he has never seen before.
“Are you saying that even though you saw it?”
I’m saying that because I saw it. You couldn’t keep a rearguard from the villains. If the girl hadn’t escaped, her team would have been annihilated by Harold.
“Brother, me, I…”
-The way I see it, it’s not a tank. Pseudo-tank, no, dealer.
“How can you say that? You don’t know how hard I tried.”
– You can’t change with effort alone. That’s the Hunter world.

Lee Hye-ri clenched her fist tightly.
Her fingernails dug into her palms and cut her deeply.
Her blood flowed
However, she felt no pain.
It doesn’t hurt.
A word from Lee Kang-san hurt more.

I hated her blunt brother who did not acknowledge her achievements.
For the first time, I thought I hated him.

“I hate you.”
-Hyeri, now the reality…
“I don’t know. My brother knows nothing.”

She hung up on her phone.
I didn’t want to hear more.
Why.
Why won’t you admit it?
I worked hard and did it all.

– Only I knew. Your potential.

All of a sudden, her child’s voice was heard in her ears.

“I don’t know.”

Lee Hye-ri put on an angry expression and she went home.

***

“Whoa. “
“Ow, Kangsan Li, you’re first rank Mushun?”

Lee Kang-san saw her teammate Marcuson trying to communicate in awkward Korean.
Mr. America’s Jackson Potter’s younger brother, Marcuson Potter.
Blonde hair, blue eyes, a huge rice cake stand over 2 meters tall, and huge muscles. He was a guy with the typical appearance of a Western muscular man.
Contrary to its appearance, it was a hunter who killed enemies with sharp twin swords.

“Do it in English. Don’t use Korean unnecessarily.”

Hearing Kangsan Lee’s fluent English, Marcuson shrugged her shoulders.

“Could it be that the younger brother who sang every day?”
“Yes.”
“It seems like I haven’t talked on the phone in a while, but I feel worse than I thought. You were very proud. Kangsan Lee, wasn’t it a siscom?”
“Where did you get that word from? It’s not like that.”
“Oh, Sori. I thought it was because he was proud of his brother. But what happened? Did you bring your boyfriend?”
“If it was, I would have gone to Korea right away. That’s not why.”
“Then?”

Li Kangsan let out a sigh.

“They say they still want to be a tanker.”
“Still?”
“Huh. I thought they’d given up, but I guess not.”
“But in the trial video, they moved like a dealer.”
“To me, that’s what I thought a tanker movement was.”
“Seriously, though… It wouldn’t last a week in the real world.”
“Yes.”

If Lee were to jump into a tanker at this point, he’d be dead within a week, as Marcuson says.
Of course, he’d try to talk her out of it, but…
He had to realize that he couldn’t stop it.”

“Hmm, can I talk? “
“If that was going to break his stubbornness, I would have done it long ago.”
“Yes, Kang San Li is very stubborn.”
“Shut up.”

He replied.
