Chapter 94 – 94. Conjecture

“I would like to hear something. What the hell happened.”

At my words, Seol Mi-jeong leaned against the backrest. Keep your mouth shut and look at this side without a word for a while. The lips drawn in a fine arc parted again.

“Are you curious?”

“Aunt. Don’t play around.”

She flicks her fingers as she takes a sip of her white wine from her glass in her graceful manner. She meant to come closer.

As I got up from her seat and approached her, Seol Mi-jeong grabbed her by the collar and whispered in her ear.

“Try to love your aunt.”

Reminds me of the old days

When she was in high school, whenever she said what she needed, her aunt had asked for this expression of affection every time. I laughed bitterly at her and whispered the same thing in her ear.

“I love you, aunt.”

“Again. Except Yoja.”

“I love you, aunt.”

“Done. Go back now.”

Mi-Jeong Seol continued her question as she sat down in her seat, deflecting the gazes of her lovers as to what she had said.

“What exactly do you want to know?”

“I want to know if it is true that the Zeun Group trapped the Wall Tower Guild and the church.”

“You are asking for advanced information from the beginning. In conclusion, it is very likely.”

“Is it big?”

“How much do you know about the pillars of the church?”

“If you’re talking about the woman who made Wall Tower Zoo disappear, she honestly doesn’t know. She’s at least a Guardian level?”

She looked back at her lovers just in case, but they didn’t seem to know either.

“Then I must explain that. The pillars of the church got their name from the 72 pillars that King Solomon used to seal demons. It is a powerful weapon of the church that seals the gate with powerful demons inside and uses its power.”

“To the gate?”

“Yes. Up to the gate. The church called it the Devil’s Kingdom. Anyway, there were four such pillars in Korea.”

“There was?”

“One collapsed a year ago. According to the information, he controlled the spirit of the pillar and stole its body.”

Taking a sip of her wine, she continued her words.

“The devil who completely repelled the Church’s pursuit has been completely hidden until now.”

“No way.”

“We think the devil is working with the Zeun Group. However, it is still not certain. You have a feeling, but you have no physical evidence.”

The scale is larger than expected.
Swallowing her drool into her, I asked her.

“But, as my aunt said, if the Devil of the Pillar teamed up with the Jeun Group, then why did they touch the Wall Tower, even if it’s the church?”

“It is a shield.”

“Yeah?”

“The Jeun Group is trying to attract former cleaners to their side and build them as a shield. So that the association or other organizations like us cannot easily move.”

Dajin stood up for the explanation that followed, frowning at her as if she didn’t quite understand.

“Mom, I don’t understand. Please explain in a simpler way.”

“I told you to use your head instead of just using your fists.”

“…I use my hair too?”

“It must be used to headbutt.”

“No, you know I only fight.”

“Then wasn’t it? Let me explain. The scavengers think that if they develop new abilities with stimulants, they will be able to push out the academy graduates. To them, the Zeun group is their benefactor and Santa Claus who will give them a second chance. What would happen if such a Zeun group were attacked by another group?”

“You won’t stand still.”

“Yeah, by the way, Aunt Lee. That…New abilities bloom…Ah, it’s the same for academy graduates…Isn’t it?”

Seol Mi-jung’s eyes turned to Jeong Ha-ryun.
Jeong Ha-ryun, who received those cold eyes, shrank her body. She must have been afraid that maybe she had made a mistake, that she was.

Well, I missed the point of the question a bit.

“Reason stained with anger and disgust does not function properly. Moreover, the cleaners are experiencing an extreme thirst to go upstairs. Do you think it would be possible to make a cool judgment in such a state?”

“Ah…Ah, no…”

“For a while, the story got out of hand. Former scavengers will equate attacking the Zeun group with oppressing them, and some hunters will certainly express their dissatisfaction with their actions.”

“Behavior? Doesn’t that mean you can do terrorism? Anyway, that’s a bit…”

“For former cleaners, it’s like a rice bowl fight, Dajin Seol. Will they be quiet?”

After answering questions with questions, Dajin Seol shut her mouth. If the rice bowl is hanging, you must know that people can become ferocious.

I roughly sorted out the situation.

“So, your aunt said that the Zeun Group brought in the Wall Tower Guild to check other organizations like the Holy Spirit and the Association?”

“Let’s sort it out. Any other questions?”

“Yes. The most important thing What do you think is the purpose of the Zeun Group?”

“For now, all I can say is that you are destroying the church.”

“Sounds like you have some other unspoken purpose?”

I thought there was something more, so when I said that, Seol Mi-jung just looked at me in silence. I meant don’t ask any more.

If you are feeling puzzled by the sudden silence after telling me this far, Seol Da-jin spoke on my behalf.

“Mom, will you just tell me everything?”

Seol Mi-jeong ignored her daughter and told me.

“Kang Dae-woong. Don’t you feel the danger in this matter enough with the information I’ve given you?”

“Yeah?”

“The reason I told you the information that wasn’t clear yet is that Kang Dae-woong, I was afraid that you would intervene in this matter because of your limited relationship.”

His eyes were still expressionless and cold, but I could feel that he was worried about me.

I smiled bitterly.

It was certainly not the case for me, who was only a C-class, to intervene.

Song Seong-woo’s system was caught, but if he was too greedy, not only the lovers would be in danger, but his aunt could also be harmed.

Very seriously too.

‘That doesn’t work.’

I have no choice but to stop here about this case. Anyway, I just sort of solved my curiosity. Having made that decision, I replied.

“Do not worry. Because I don’t think so.”

I could feel the lovers breathing a sigh of relief beside me. I guess they were worried too. I smiled and continued talking.

“Aunt, can I ask one more question?”

“What?”

“Sis… No, the hero’s trial. I read the paper, but I want to know more. I wonder if my aunt would know.”

When she asked for future reference, Seol Mi-jung put down her wine glass and answered with a sigh.

“That’s advanced information, too.”

“Haha…How can I not?”

“Why do I have to say that?”

“Because your aunt and nephew are curious?”

“No.”

This doesn’t work
What are you doing here to reveal the truth?

As I was putting on a sad expression, Seol Mi-jung stared at me like that, and then she let out a small sigh.

“Instead, let me know who can help.”

“Any help?”

“Among the children of our executives, there is one child who went all the way to the United States to learn more about the hero’s ordeal. I wonder if you know too. I participated in the hunting festival. My name is Seo Ga-hee.”

Uh? If it’s Seo Ga-hee…That year?
Did I try to give you a fake quest?

“From what I heard, it was quite successful. I can’t say anything against us, but that’s okay. Anyway, since he is scheduled to return home in a month, ask him then.”

“No, Mom. Can’t you just let me know?”

“No. It is a sense of punishment for what I have already told you about the Zeun Group.”

Seol Mi-jeong drank the wine as if she was not going to talk about it anymore, and I also changed the subject to the idea that asking more questions would be a nuisance.

Has it been like that for 30 minutes?
Seol Mi-jeong stood up from her seat, saying that she had to go soon.

“Oh, meeting you today Yeo, Yeo Yeonggwang…? It was an honor…”

“…That’s too much greeting. Nice to meet you too.”

Seol Mi-jung called me, leaving behind Ha-ryun Jeong, who hadn’t relaxed yet and slipped her tongue.

“Kang Dae-woong, stay for a moment.”

“Yeah? Yeah.”

“Mom, why Daewoong?”

“Because that’s the case, go down first.”

“What.”

“Seulgi.”

“Ah Okay.”

When Seol Da-jin grumbled and took Jeong Ha-ryun out, Seol Mi-jeong came to me. Then, as before, he grabbed the collar and told me.

“I heard you asked for a hug from Irura?”

“Yeah? Ah… It was. Because I’m a fan. But the fact that my aunt knew about it… I thought she didn’t hear it, but I guess she didn’t?”

It’s disappointing, come true.
Trampling the hearts of fans like this.

“I’ll do it for you, so relax.”

No, are my aunt and Irura the same? Any thoughts about that disappeared the moment she hugged me. Indeed, its destructive power was no joke, perhaps because it was a size that could not be pushed back even compared to So Jeong-hye.

“It’s been a while since I’ve hugged you like this.”

“I see.”

“How much? It must have been a few more years.”

“The last time I did it when I was independent, so it’s been less than a year, aunt.”

“It’s been long enough for that.”

I shrugged and she moved away from me and checked the time.

“I feel like I want to talk more, but…”

“I know you’re busy, so don’t be sorry.”

“Yes. You’re still nice Our Daewoong.”

Patting her hair, she turns her steps.
Her aunt continues her words with the clacking sound of shoes.

“Take care of yourself. Like last time, if the association bothers you or if anything happens, call your aunt.”

“Yes, don’t worry.”

“And talk about the girlfriend problem later.”

As I went down the stairs with a bitter smile, I saw lovers waiting for me. Three black foreign cars lined up behind them.

Seol Mi-jung opened the door and got into the vehicle. Inside, Iru-ra was riding. I called her sister, and she seems to be close enough to pick me up.

“Then don’t go.”

“Go in.”

“Joe, be careful, go in.”

After seeing her off, the vehicle carrying her drives away. Jeong Ha-ryun, who had been bending her waist until her figure disappeared completely, let out a deep sigh and hugged her.

“Brother…I thought I was going to die from trembling…”

“Oh, sister, aren’t you nervous?”

“Why am I nervous, fool?”

“Uh, you’re dating your brother too… She said she’ll even give birth to a baby… She should be shaking, oh…”

“…What is he saying now. Hey, he must have been so nervous that his hair has gone bad.”

I smiled and hugged them.
