Chapter 109
About 10 minutes before Shin In-hyeok called Shin Ha-yul.
Shortly after the three executives escaped from the 3rd magic stone warehouse.
Shin In-hyeok called a car and immediately returned to the hotel where he was staying.
In the limousine heading to the hotel.
The driver asked Shin In-hyeok with a worried expression.
“My lord. Are you okay?”
I have worked as a driver in charge of Shin In-hyeok at Madosinga for over 30 years, but I have never seen Shin In-hyeok who looks so tired.
Shin In-hyeok’s condition was not that good.
“I just overused my mental strength. You don’t have to worry.”
All Elemental, the arcane magic of the sorcerers, consumes a lot of mental power as power is power.
Since he used such magic consecutively, there was no way his mental strength was intact.
“Shall we call a specialist?”
“There is no need for that.”
You know your condition best. This level of depletion of mental power is restored after a good night’s rest. He has no reason to call anyone.
“Then would you like to close your eyes before we arrive?”
“… … okay. Please.”
“yes. All right.”
The driver turned off the light in the back seat. At the same time, the shield separating the driver’s seat and the rear seat was lowered.
A high-end limousine blackout that blocks both light and sound completely surrounds the back seat.
in a dark world.
Only the sound of the car’s engine can be heard subtly from the bottom.
“Whoa.”
In the meantime, Shin In-hyeok slowly closed his eyes.
I tried to fall asleep slowly, forcing my throbbing head to calm down due to mental exhaustion.
“… … Tsk.”
Earlier, I remembered the voice file Shin Ha-yul sent me, so I couldn’t fall asleep.
‘The VVIP customer is either your older brother or sister. I heard he got into a relationship four years ago.’
The words that came out of the mouth of the assailant who attacked Shin Ha-yul.
Those words made Shin In-hyeok’s throbbing head even more complicated.
‘I couldn’t believe it.’
Shin In-hyeok is not an idiot either.
It had been predicted for a long time that if someone in the family was aiming for Shin Ha-yul, there was a high probability that it would be Shin Ji-han or Shin Se-ah, who were directly competing for the position of head of household.
That’s why he ordered Kim Seok-hyeon and the shadow to monitor Shin Ji-han and Shin Se-ah.
While doing it, he also investigated other members.
Fortunately, nothing suspicious was found during this process.
Concerned about the aftermath that would come if the direct descendant of the family was an infiltrator of the Black Mage Tower, I dug it all over, but I couldn’t find a single suspicious corner.
That’s why Shin In-hyeok was relieved in his heart.
Even so, their children did not abandon the heavenly principles.
I said.
‘A stupid thing.’
But that was Shin In-hyeok’s misunderstanding. Shin Ji-han or Shin Se-ah. One of the two made the stupid choice of joining hands with the Black Mage Tower.
He committed the wrathful act of harming his younger brother by using the black magic tower.
At that fact, Shin In-hyeok was furious enough.
Of course, it’s possible that it isn’t.
The proof is only one word from The Fist’s mouth. maybe he lied
but.
‘There’s no need for him to lie like that in that situation.’
The recording file that Shin Ha-yul sent to Shin In-hyeok contained the entire process from the collapse of the hotel to the defeat of The Fist.
The Feast’s personality as seen in the recorded file.
tone and intonation.
A sense of mental superiority that possesses the strongest magic for archmages called the Colosseum of gladiators, and an inferiority complex that can be glimpsed by the word elite.
Judging from those things, it is extremely unlikely that The Feast would have lied in that situation.
If I were going to lie in the first place, I would have picked someone out and said it was among my brothers and sisters.
There, the comprehensive answer after arguing that he did not know once raised the credibility of the words even more.
‘Which of the two is it?’
Now, the question is not whether one of the two is an insider.
Between Shin Ji-han and Shin Se-ah, who is the snitch?
Shin In-hyeok’s eyebrows became even sharper.
‘There is a high probability that Ha Yul knows which of the two is the snitch.’
Shin Ha-yul’s calm reaction when he heard the truth from The Feast.
It was a reaction that could only be shown by those who knew the truth of the incident in advance.
If I hadn’t known in the first place, I wouldn’t have sent the recording so quickly.
Shin Ha-yul obviously knows something.
Shin In-hyuk took out his phone and called Shin Ha-yul.
“A voice recording file you sent. heard.”
And he said it like this.
“Jihan and Sae Ah. Which of the two are you?”
The answer came right back.
―I don’t think I’ll tell you over the phone.
Shin Ha-yul replied with a serious voice in the world.
―I will meet you in person.
* * *
After driving for about 30 minutes, I arrived at the hotel where my father was staying.
I went straight to my father’s room and told him what I had been hiding.
“This is the end.”
The conversation didn’t last very long.
There was nothing to talk about at first.
During the Leng Smith incident, on the day the brothers gathered to find out the criminal, only Shin Ji-han reacted differently to the news of Leng Smith’s arrest.
All I could say was this.
Other than this case, I haven’t caught a single piece of evidence worthy of evidence, so what more can I say?
“Why are you talking about that now?”
“Because you wouldn’t believe me if I told you.”
At the time of the Leng Smith incident, I was really empty and broke.
My words had no power.
Even if I had talked about Shin Ji-han at that time, my father would not have listened.
“I wouldn’t know if I had caught solid evidence. I thought it would be difficult to convince my father with just my heart.”
At that time, trust with my father was not fully restored. Conversely, if I brought up useless talk, I could have suffered an aftershock.
That’s why I kept quiet.
“At the time of the Baengnyeong Island incident, there was absolutely no evidence.”
There was no evidence that Shin Ji-han was involved in the Baengnyeong Island incident.
In that case, it wasn’t that he didn’t hold back his words, he had nothing to say at all.
“… … Right.”
My father thought with a complicated look on his face.
I stayed silent for a while while my father finished his thoughts.
About 10 minutes passed like that.
“I understand the situation.”
My father opened his mouth with an even sharper expression.
“Let me go and see. I will take care of the rest.”
I couldn’t ask what to do.
I didn’t have the courage to ask questions in front of such a bloody father.
“yes.”
I quietly got up and headed out of the room.
“Then get some rest.”
Finally, I bowed my head and left the room.
‘I’ve never seen such a scary father.’
I felt a little bit of sympathy for Shin Ji-han, who was going to face such a spirited father.
* * *
3 days have passed since the incident.
The raid on the third magic stone warehouse and the raid on each team’s hotel were handled quietly.
The raid on the third magic stone warehouse was a case that was planned to be handled quietly from the beginning.
The raid on each team’s hotel was not an incident that resulted in casualties, so it was decided to handle it quietly.
Well, the horse handled it quietly, it was practically the same as being silenced.
It is said that the Olympiad side buried the case by paying a huge amount of money.
It would not have been possible to stop the Olympiad, which was reaching its climax, by revealing the case for no reason.
Besides that, he probably didn’t want to set a precedent that an Olympiad member had been attacked.
In any case, due to the circumstances of those adults, the case was not disclosed to the public.
“A mana disaster. How did it hit the hotel at just the right timing?”
Of course, the destruction of the hotel by the Korean team was not something that could be hidden, so it was disguised as another incident.
A non-raid mana disaster.
Due to a natural disaster that humans can’t help, the hotel where the Korean team was staying collapsed.
Roughly it looked like this.
“I know. It’s a relief that there are no real injuries.”
Fortunately, no one suspected it.
In the first place, a mana disaster is a disaster that humans cannot control. It is an anomaly that is not strange no matter when it explodes.
It was quite possible that such a phenomenon suddenly occurred and the hotel was erased.
“Do you know how surprised I was when I was told that the hotel had disappeared? I thought you were filming some kind of hidden camera.”
Even when Sunchan thought about it again, it seemed absurd, so he smiled dejectedly.
“me too. You live and experience all these things.”
“I wish it was like that when we were resting… … Oh, that’s terrible.”
Jin Hee-yoon sunbaenim made a ‘hiya’ sound and laughed, and Ma Jin-seok sunbae trembled.
“But what should I say about this? A person who can do anything should be able to do it… … . It goes like this.”
Sunchan, who was surfing the web on his phone, turned on the hologram transmission mode and showed everyone the screen he was looking at.
[A country that is writing a new history at the Olympiad, Korea! The adversity that hit that country!]
[A strong country that does not give in to adversity! korea!]
[Shin Ha-yul revealed that he was scheduled to play in the next game even though he was injured in the incident.]
[All Koreans are worried about the fighting spirit of Shin Ha-yul’s injury.]
If you put it on your nose, it’s a nose ring, and if you put it on your ears, it’s called an earring.
This is excessive packaging, far beyond the level of excessive packaging.
“If we win this, there will be an article about a country that won after overcoming the adversity of a natural disaster.”
“I know. I will open 100%.”
“No, more than that, what is the new leader’s fighting spirit? Didn’t you say you weren’t hurt?”
Jin Hee-yoon and Ma Jin-seok took turns talking.
“I was hurt. It’s just a small bruise. Even that was healed within a day.”
“Did you pack it like this? hey… … .”
Jin Hee-yoon applauded, saying he was really great.
“Whatever it is, it’s nice that the spotlight coming on us is getting stronger.”
“I don’t know if this is what I need to practice signing.”
“When you go back to Korea, aren’t there fans all over the airport?”
The seniors giggled and laughed mischievously.
“huh. Other kids don’t know, but you don’t. Do you know how hard it was for us because you guys went crazy on the first day?”
“no way. It was force majeure.”
“Isn’t it a miracle that the two of you survived in that situation?”
“that’s right. We made a legitimate sacrifice~ That’s what I mean.”
The two seniors stood out confidently, as if they were second to none.
But again, that statement is not incorrect. If you think about the situation of the Korean team at that time, it was a miracle that not everyone was eliminated.
Rather, those two seniors made sacrifices, so even Jin Hee-yoon or Sun-chan could survive.
If you look at it that way, it’s a noble sacrifice.
“huh. If so, you must be a high-speed dropout, right?”
“Oh let go. Do you want me to be king?”
“Really. See if you can sacrifice yourself next time.”
Senior Jin Hee-yoon knows that too. You know, just kidding around like that. Because they know that Jin Hee-yoon is joking around, the other two seniors smile and reply like that.
“Whoa. Now it feels like a real gold medal is in my mouth.”
“No mouth? I have already entered the esophagus.”
Ranked 3rd overall in Battle Survival.
That’s also 3rd place, not much different from 2nd place.
With this, if we win only one of the remaining three events, we will be able to claim the gold medal for sure.
“Oh, right. Have you all seen this?”
As if Soonchan realized something, he manipulated his phone to bring up a new screen.
[Is South Korea rewriting the history of the Olympiad?]
“I’m not going to see this. I heard that if we win all three of our remaining matches, it will be our best ever Olympiad result?”
“Oh oh!”
“Isn’t this possible?”
“okay. The next goal is this.”
Seniors brightened their eyes.
Then, they started making kimchi soup with each other.
“I just need Adela to defeat Kyle and Dahlia in a person-to-person match.”
But this is not just kimchi soup. In fact, it’s not like there’s no chance of winning all three matches.
“… … We will try.”
Adela’s eyes shone sharply with fighting spirit.
“It’s not like there’s no chance of winning.”
“Oh oh. Confidence is good.”
Seeing such Adela, the seniors made a fuss.
‘I’m glad. I was wondering what to do if the atmosphere is down.’
The hotel must have been destroyed. I was worried about what would happen if the atmosphere calmed down.
It seems that I was worried for nothing.
I smiled as I looked at the excited seniors and friends.
Whoa-!
That moment.
The phone rang.
[Sender: Kim Seok-hyun]
It was a text message from Mr. Seokhyun.
I quickly checked the text.
[The Feast. Dan McKelley wants to meet and make a deal with the Bocchan.]
