Episode 83

‘Son of God’.
Timothy Lillywhite.
Nickname: Timmy Lily.
The leader of the guild “Aegis”.
The perennial bean line that has been ranked 2nd in the world for years, but finally escaped and became 3rd thanks to Joe’s recapture of the throne, the lover of the American continent.
It was currently April, and he was lying face down and crying in a hotel in Seoul.
“I did as I was told, but why! Why!”
Even rolling my feet.
“Why, why aren’t you contacting me! Jonathan, what’s going on?”
‘How is it, it’s the hot revenge of Koreans who were forcibly deprived of their vacation. K-revenge, what does Joseon’s resentment taste like, you short-lived American bastard!’
Jonathan Park (real name: Yong-gyu Park/Aegis Support Team Leader/Special: Marine from Jeolla Province), who quickly withdrew from his companionship with Timothy.
Suddenly, a level 1 guild emergency was called, so he hurriedly gave up his vacation and flew to Korea, but what was waiting for him was… … .
“What’s going on? Did something happen with the Korean guys…?”
“Jonathan, ‘Joe’ is gone. I think he doesn’t want to see me. What should I do?”
「… … .」
“How can I change his mind? Okay? Jonathan, he’s Korean, so he’ll know.”
「… … .」
‘There are over 50 million Koreans. If you understand the psychology of fellow Koreans, all 50 million people are hermaphrodites.’
Contrary to his feelings, Jonathan put on a disgusting expression. He furrowed his brows in a feigned worried manner.
“Oh my, what’s wrong? It’s a really expensive deal. Usually, it works. What a surprise. I wonder if he’s not an ordinary guy.”
“Jonathan, of course! It’s ‘Joe’!”
“Um… … Then, should we rent a broadcasting station’s open hall or a concert hall and sing a song? And tell them to come back? Korean kids are dying for that kind of thing.”
‘The devil, the devil is here.’
“Really? I’m not good at singing… … .”
‘Whether you’re good at singing or not, if you do something like that, it’s socially considered suicide… ‘
The funny Korean guild member looked at Jonathan with a shocked expression. Feeling the gaze, Jonathan slowly cut his neck with his thumb.
‘Shut your mouth.’
The moment when everyone was speechless at the toughness of the Jeolla Province man who was a former Marine.
“Stop bothering me, Yonggyu. That’s enough.”
Bam.
Lucas Malone grabbed Jonathan’s shoulder, stopped the Captain’s social suicide, and walked towards the bed.
“I told you not to call Jonathan. Timmy, you still don’t know how sensitive Koreans are to vacations.”
Their obsession with vacation is beyond imagination, even when they live abroad.
Lucas said seriously.
“No one should mess with a little Korean. It’s called X. Have you already forgotten how I mastered Korean?”
Lucas is from Utah, one of the most conservative states in the United States.
Because of that, I still can’t sleep when I think about the constant clashes I’ve had with that Korean from Jeolla Province.
Koreans are evil. Lucas had been living his life with that assumption in his heart.
“but…….”
“But no, now is the time to think calmly.”
Timothy lifts his head from between the pillows. His face is mottled and full of the boy’s resentment, not befitting his size.
‘… …ChiId.’
Lucas sighed inwardly as he recalled his other nickname.
“We can’t continue this endless waiting. The date we were supposed to stay in Seoul was just the other day. Didn’t we say that the Korean side is also an uncontrollable opponent?”
“… … .”
“I heard you received an apology directly from the director.”
The face of a middle-aged man in an awkward position.
He seemed like the politically savvy type, but Timothy could tell he was sincere.
“sorry.”
… … .
“Yes. It’s true that we also thought it would be possible for a little while… … After the ranking changes, things suddenly got a bit hectic, so we didn’t expect it to suddenly disappear like this.”
“Honestly, I have no contact with you at the moment.”
Well, even if we call it a way, it’s not really… … . To begin with, you’re the kind of person who never knows where he’ll go. It’s embarrassing, but we’re just trying to follow him.
We will continue to try our best in various ways, but for now… … .
“There’s nothing to do but wait.”
“It’s April. Are you going to keep your country empty, Timothy Lillywhite?”
“… … .”
“I should probably go back soon. The Whiskey Hotel asked me when I would be back. It doesn’t matter if the ‘work’ is messed up, so I told them to come back as soon as possible.”
Whiskey Hotel. Code name for the White House (WH).
It was understandable to feel uneasy with the number one ranked player in the US out of office.
The top rankers are soon the national power.
No country welcomes the transfer of its core national power abroad. This trip to Korea was entirely driven by Timothy.
‘but…….’
But. There is something that must be said.
He also had a reason that was more important to him than anyone else.
Timothy got up with a sigh.
“Just one more day, just one more day.”
“… … .”
“I’ll wait just one more day.”
Lucas nodded. That’s enough.
No matter how childish he may be, if that was all he had, there was no way anyone would trust or follow him. Timothy was a hunter who never forgot his duty.
“Okay. Then I understand that we will go back on tomorrow’s date.”
You heard everything, right? Lucas looked around at the guild members, telling them to pack their bags in advance.
The guild members who had been staring at the official Aegis wall began to pack up their belongings one by one.
Even while they were telling me to clean this up and clean that up, Timothy was looking gloomy on the other side.
Seeing that makes me nervous again.
Lucas cleared his throat. Hey, Timothy. Don’t stay there.
“Go outside and see things. Haven’t you been staying in your room all this time? Since you’ve come all the way to Seoul, go out and see things. If you need a guide, ask Jonathan… … or… …”
‘What the heck is this kid?’
The hot, burning eyes of a Marine man.
“… … I take back what I just said.”
Wake up. Lucas winces. Jonathan stands up with a clicking sound.
“That’s enough. Even if it’s not much, I thought I’d stop bothering you. I thought I’d take you out for a bit and get some fresh air. You stop holding on to the kids and go. I’ll take care of the leader myself.”
“Are you serious?”
“uh.”
“Can I be honest? I doubt it (because of your diabolical record).”
“Are you really going to kill me? You Utah country bumpkin.”
“Honestly, isn’t Jeolla-do more rural than Utah?”
“Honestly, honestly, if you say that one more time, I’ll really screw you. Can’t this Utah kid talk without being honest, honestly?”
Jonathan’s foot kicking my butt to tell me to get out.
So Lucas didn’t notice the presence of a bellboy as he passed by the door opened by his guild members.
Knock knock. The hand pushing the cart.
“Please leave it on the table over there. Oh, but wait a minute. I have to clean up first.”
“Yes.”
“Did you order room service, Jonathan?”
“Hey, hey. It’s a bit too much to go to the buffet. Boss! What are you doing? Why aren’t you coming? I saw you didn’t eat anything earlier, so come and sit down quickly.”
“I’m fine… … .”
“Oh my, why is that guy so cheap?”
“Should I clean it up? It won’t taste good when it gets cold.”
“No, no. Why are you so hasty?”
Because my hands are big, I ended up ordering a lot of food.
Jonathan’s gaze, which was hurriedly clearing the table, swung nervously at the bellboy, but then quickly softened.
‘What is it, you’re a kid.’
I had a moustache on because I wanted to look older, but Hunter’s keen eyes could clearly see that it was fake.
‘Oh, you’re cute. It’s quite elaborate. Where did you get it?’
“How old are you to work in a place like this? Do teenagers in Korea work part-time at hotels these days?”
“Ahem. I ate as much as I could.”
“Ha, you’re funny, kid. Stop raising your voice and speak properly. Your voice hasn’t even changed yet. Is this what you call a Merci? Do you want to join the Marines later?”
A uniform that looks big compared to the body even though it seems to be the smallest size. White skin under a toy-like red hat.
‘You little brat, you look just like a toy soldier.’
Jonathan chuckled and went to pick Timothy up.
Timothy, who was sitting on the edge of the bed and thinking about something, looks up as if he senses someone’s presence.
“Eat some food, Captain. There’s a Korean word called ‘daeshim’ which means that when your stomach is empty, you can’t do anything. Hurry up.”
“Jonathan.”
“uh.”
“Did Guido go out today?”
Why him all of a sudden? Jonathan scratched his head.
“Right. You’re always busy these days. The supporters say you have a Korean girlfriend. You went to see her again.”
“okay…….”
“Why Maramaldi? Can you call me?”
“No, it’s okay. Just… … .”
Guido might know something about ‘Joe’.
Timothy trailed off. He seemed unsure of what he was saying.
Jonathan chuckled.
“What are you talking about? He has some kind of connection to Korea. Are you talking about Guido Maramaldi, a member of the southern Sicilian mafia?”
“Right. No, forget it.”
Timothy gave a vague answer.
Hmm. Jonathan clicked his tongue after looking at the sight carefully. How bland. Come and eat.
“It’s all gone.”
“Oh, I said it’s okay.”
I keep refusing, but you keep dragging me out. Crunch.
A bellboy pushing a cart and leaving.
“Hey, you’re leaving already!”
Leaving Timothy behind, Jonathan hurriedly followed the bellboy to the door.
“Hey, hey, tell them you’re going when you go, you punk!”
It was a bit embarrassing that he had joked around but didn’t even give me a tip. That was when Jonathan laughed and hit him hard on the back.
‘uh……?’
Jonathan Park thought for a moment.
Just now… … the plate seemed to stop in mid-air… … ?
The plates in the bellboy’s hands.
I felt like I was going to fall down when the wind hit my back. Oh no, I had to catch it. I was definitely trying to catch it.
‘what……?’
“Huh? I almost fell. Why are you hitting me?”
“… … Huh? Uh huh. Sorry.”
“I’ll go and see.”
That, that’s right. That was when Jonathan felt awkward and uneasy.
“[wait for a sec!]”
It wasn’t Korean, it was English. I was in a hurry so I blurted it out without realizing it.
Kwak.
A man’s hand grabbing an arm.
The bell boy, Gyeonjio, who was working undercover, looks back.
Timothy was there, holding her arm and speaking again.
“wait for a sec…….”
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
A guide to proper living for rankers.
