Episode 10

“It’s uncomfortable.”
The tiger glanced at Geo and hugged him with one arm.
It’s a change from the posture of carrying a pile of luggage to the posture of a Hollywood dad.
There was zero discomfort for either the one hugging or the one being hugged.
“I gave you the card key. Why are you making a fuss downstairs?”
“Lost.”
“Give me the phone.”
He takes the phone from Geo’s hand and skillfully unlocks it.
1111. The extremely conservative password has not been changed.
While the elevator was going up, a man who had been installing an app for residents passed by and sniffed around.
“I’ve never seen these clothes before.”
“……It was there originally? You’re pretending to know me even though it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you.”
Gyeonji-oh got angry like a school lunch after being caught buying clothes from an online shopping mall without his mother knowing.
The hand that was putting Geo down on the sofa stopped at those words.
The tiger leaned forward, resting his chin on the armrest beside him.
“Yeah. It must be hard to even see your face, Miss Kyeonji-oh. After almost three months, you show up in men’s clothes that don’t fit at all and claim they’re yours……”
“Ahem. Okay, I’ll keep it.”
“I know what Bambi smells like. No excuses.”
The tiger, who had hit the bridge of the nose, straightened his back. Geo grumbled as he watched the back moving away.
“Sir, I came here on business. Where are you going?”
“It’s eleven o’clock. We should start getting ready. What’s our ‘Joe’s’ business?”
The tiger’s bronze hair was disheveled as he roughly took off his T-shirt.
A sharp scar on his shoulder and a flashy magic tattoo on his broad, elastic back.
All magic related to gold.
It seemed like there had been a few more since Geo had last seen them.
On the way to the bathroom, he picks up his phone as if remembering something.
Thanks to that, the conversation was cut short. He looked back after finishing the short call.
“I’ll give you my first place back, okay? Wash up and let’s go up to the tower together. Get some rest.”
“……”
“Eat something. You lost weight.”
Thump. The inner door closes.
I was wondering what to do and it turned out I ordered room service.
Geo hugged the cushion next to him and lay down on it. Then he sighed inwardly.
‘……As expected, he’s cool.’
[Your Covenant, ‘Reader of Fate’, is whining about how you are catching unlucky children.]
[The viewers raise ethical issues, asking why the clothes are being taken off in front of the child and why this is causing a fuss, and whether this violates the viewing age rating.]
‘Your position is rejected. Reason for rejection: It is a pleasure for my eyes to see.’
A few minutes later, room service arrives, leaving the noisy crowd behind.
As expected from a place where the most popular people in the country live, the food was directly airlifted in from a nearby star-studded hotel restaurant.
It might be embarrassing for a hoodie-clad girl to sit alone in a penthouse, but seasoned professionals have no such worries.
Just finish your work like a professional and leave quickly.
‘……Mimi, Mimi (beautiful)!’
After taking a bite, Geo, who was as moved as a chef, fell over with a thud.
Seriously, every time something like this happens, it makes me cry because it’s so regrettable.
“If only I were just 10 years older……”
I don’t think it was cold.
Tch.
The fresh day of high school graduation.
Gyeonji-oh, who confessed to that handsome guy and got brutally rejected, clicked her tongue in a recent interview.
Geo still thought that Beom’s rejection was due to the age difference.
Anyone who knows the shocking confession from that day would be shocked by the shamelessness.
[Seongwi, the ‘Fate Reader’ is astonished and asks what kind of crazy person would accept such a soulless confession blinded by capitalism.]
[The ‘Fortune Reader’ nods his head vigorously, saying that he likes the fact that even though he’s unlucky, he has a clear conscience and common sense.]

The largest, most powerful, and longest-running force.
As a global mercenary giant, it was trusted in many ways, and the biggest reason for that was……
Guild leader ‘Lion’ Eun Seok-won.
As a representative of the first generation of awakened people.
This was because a figure with a strong presence who had never lost the top spot in the country before Joe’s debut was still active.
He is a hunter who has always fought against disasters on the front lines.
A veteran who is the pride of Korea and respected by the world.
It was a case where people voluntarily gathered to follow him because his character was so great, and his popularity was also enjoyed by all generations, regardless of gender or age.
And ‘Beom’ was the second son that Eun Seok-won raised like his own son.
He was the next leader who would inherit everything from the
“How old are you, grandpa? You’re taking away the first place award from a poor third-year repeater. Where’s your conscience?”
“You’re still right. I don’t even think about your laziness.”
The man responded, flipping through the files.
The car, specially made and gifted by Rolls-Royce for him, a renowned car collector, also had a killer ride.
But Geo, who has no interest in such things and has no regard for them, is just indifferent.
“A country with a lot of bone disease.”
“Hold on.”
What? What do you want me to do? Geo turned his head away without saying anything. Even a reckless person listens to his nanny.
Name unknown. Age unknown.
Again… Skills unknown.
Not much is known about Beom, who was said to have wandered the streets as a child and been taken in by Eun Seok-won.
Everyone guesses that he’s around 30 years old just by looking at his appearance.
Although he was currently ranked 7th, it was publicly known in the heavenly realm that he was a skilled player with hidden skills.
If you have a high-ranking constellation, it’s not impossible to block Babel’s eyes to some extent.
Those enormous sealing rituals that he personally went to see the ‘Great Witch of the Polar Regions’ and had engraved on his back.
Just looking at this guy makes you wonder, ‘Hey, is this guy the mastermind?’ He’s so suspicious.
However, he was the son of the ‘grace lion’ and also his right-hand man.
The silent appearance he had shown over the years was enough to gain him fame and recognition from the world.
The center also trusted him and designated him as the guardian of the first S-class Awakened, ‘Joe’, 10 years ago.
He was one of the very few people who knew what a ridiculous monster Gyeonjio was.
“It will be temporary.”
“……?”
“I’ll have to see you and hear the details myself. But… when you broke the lockout this morning and came out, you said, ‘There are no more walls to overcome.’ I agree with that. It’s the lion’s last roar before dusk, so respect it.”
“……”
“After all, everyone knows who is at the ‘top’ position.”
Geo, who had been looking out the car window, looked back.
The man who was handing over the documents to him raised his eyes. He just moved his mouth without making a sound. ‘Phew, ha.’
“…..Don’t try to comfort me. I’m out of luck.”
“I secretly like this. It’s a unique taste.”
“Who am I?”
“Oh. You.”
“Once Grandpa retires and changes his mind, he should start by destroying the Eunsa Temple Building.”
“That’s really a bit scary.”
“That tiger cub is really tough outside, but at home he doesn’t even shave and just scratches his belly. They’re going to spread flyers and photos about him.”
“That’s really cute.”
The car stops.
The destination is a gigantic shadow that stretches across the sky: the Tower of Babel.
The car door opens.
Geo pulled his hood down under his nose and stepped forward. He even swore at him, saying that he was going to tease him until the end.
Then the tiger that was holding the door laughs.
He covered Geo’s hood with his big hand and leaned down slightly to whisper.
‘That’s too much. I’m serious about what I just said.’
How can you lie when you say something is cute?
Anyway, he’s still young.
