Episode #101. Could it be that
Finally, the pleural effusion was captured.
The news spread throughout the affiliates of the Black Dragon Clan overnight.
Including the rumor that it was the royal function of the family head of the Shanghai royal family that caught the beast.
“The King’s family head overreacted.”
“Would you like to issue a counter statement?”
“well.”
Li Qingyu tilted his head slightly.
And he asked with a very curious face.
“If I said Wei Ling was the one who caught the beast, would there be many people in my family who would believe it? Or will there be more people who suspect that the swordsman stole the ball from the royal family?”
“The CCTV clearly shows that Wei Ling arrived first.”
“But few people will believe that Wei Ling alone captured the beast that killed even Wang Daxi.”
Li Qingyu paused for a moment.
And he added a word by lifting a long-term piece with seomseomoksu and moving its position.
“The story that the swordsmith’s teachings made that feat possible is more likely.”
“…It is as you say.”
Youin smiled bitterly.
It was absurd to hear the story of a swordsman who caught a beast just by giving him instructions over the phone.
There was no way the current clan, who had never experienced Limon’s skills and only had grudges, could not believe it.
Especially when it comes to the fact that the Shanghai royal family is almost risking their lives to spread rumors.
“The fact that you are spreading this as a rumor is very like a royal family head.”
“If we officially insisted on that, we would rather be able to tell the truth.”
“That’s why they’re probably content with unofficial rumors. Sometimes vague rumors weigh more than gold and silver treasures and fiefs.”
“It’s a cunning trick.”
From the viewpoint of the Shanghai royal family, which has enough wealth and power anyway, it was indeed clever to spread rumors in secret.
If the truth is not revealed, you can take care of your honor and set the family’s position right.
Even if things go wrong and it is known that the menace was stolen, there is no need to take responsibility for rumors.
High return with low risk.
It was a maneuver worthy of a king who was good at gains and losses, with a lot to gain but little to lose.
“It honestly doesn’t matter anyway.”
“Are you saying you won’t use your hands in particular?”
“Because it’s not worth it.”
However, Li Qingyu dismissed such efforts of Wang Shikong as futile.
It may have been something worthy of betting on the family’s fate for the royal family of Shanghai, but he said it was too trivial for him to care about.
Youin asked her thoughtfully.
“Wouldn’t the swordsman be disappointed?”
“A swordsman?”
It sounds like you’ve heard all the funny jokes.
Li Qingyu let out a chuckle and asked back with a mischievous smile.
“Will the swordsman regret a small ball that seems insignificant even to me? The one who doesn’t even care about the honor of saving the world?”
“…It seems that I was overreacting.”
“It’s not a tilt. Even if the swordsman won’t regret it, it’s something he’ll regret.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, that’s why I said that the King’s wife was overdoing it.”
Li Qingyu chuckled.
If he had politely asked for the delivery of a new beast, Limon would have given it to him even if he didn’t like it.
However, Wang Shikong crossed the line that Limon could concede by accepting the brute force as if he were robbing.
It was a mistake he made because he judged that Limon could not give such a feat because it was the king’s ability to consider everything only in terms of profit and loss.
“If the price I got for being outside the eyes of the swordsmith is only that much, can I call it a benefit?”
It might be good for now.
But don’t forget.
Limon is the immortal sword master.
That he was a superman who could interfere with the work of the Shanghai royal family hundreds of years later.
And remembering the loss the Seven Dragons had suffered over the past hundreds of years because of one Limon, Yo-in came to sympathize with Wang Shi-sik without even realizing it.
“…The king’s wife made a mistake in the small room.”
“Because you’ve been busy these days. When impatient, everyone makes the wrong decisions.”
Words that seem to defend the royal function.
However, Youin knew.
That her words did not contain the slightest nuance of reconciliation.
It is also true that the opponents that Wang function turned into an enemy were not only Limon, but also their princess.
‘I’ll have to get rid of stocks related to the Shanghai royal family.’
Apart from his soaring sympathy, Yo-in makes a cold judgment as the general manager of Leviathan.
Li Qingyu said calmly to him.
“Actually, you don’t have to worry about the King. The problem is outside.”
widely.
The long-term pair she moved along with her calm words.
No, to be precise, Youin asked quietly as he looked at the map on which the chess pieces made of gold, silver, carnelian, sapphire, green jade, white jade, and obsidian were placed.
“…Are you talking about another clan?”
“Yes, honestly, it doesn’t end up being a headache if they make up their minds and move.”
“No matter how many other clans there are, no one will openly quarrel with our clan.”
“But you can use your hands to hide it. And unfortunately, we lack the power to prevent their intervention.”
What Li Qingyu said with a sigh, You Yin could not bear to deny.
The Golden Dragon Clan who holds the money of the United States of America.
The Silver Dragon clan, the Great Khan of the Russian Khanate.
The blue dragon clan that rules the British Empire.
The White Dragon Clan, one of the pillars of the Holy Alliance.
The head of the African military government, the Red Dragon Clan.
The green dragon clan swallowed the South American cartel.
Likewise, even in the Seven Dragons group, the power of the Black Dragon clan was weak compared to the six clans.
In fact, even in the Seventy-seven Commonwealth of China, there were many countries where the influence of other clans was stronger.
Since East Asia is the mainland, it was the Black Dragon clan who collided with Limon the most in the Seven Dragons and sacrificed that much.
However, Li Mon and Li Qingyu, who can be said to be the culprits behind the downfall of the Black Dragon clan, are about to make a marriage contract.
There was no way the other clans would watch in silence.
“How do you think they will come out?”
“Each clan has a different opinion.”
A meeting that was held recently.
Reflecting on what he had seen and heard there, Li Qingyu quietly continued.
“It looks like the Golden Dragon Clan is trying to hit me on the cheek with gold, and the Red Dragon Clan is increasing their threat level.”
“It’s fortunate.”
“Yes, at least it won’t move right away. But the other clans… I don’t know how.”
It is better to have a clear purpose.
It’s because you can predict when and how you’ll move, and it’s that much easier to prepare for.
However, it was difficult for those who did not reveal a clear position to predict and prepare for the action.
“Do you think there will be other clans intervening in this matter as well?”
“That’s probably not it. I’d rather wage an all-out war, because they won’t gain anything by touching them like this.”
“Maybe for reconnaissance purposes.”
“Well, is it really?”
Li Qingyu tilted his head slightly.
I don’t believe in friendship with other clans.
The Seven Dragons Association was originally an alliance of seven clans rather than a single organization. Even in the past when they were hostile to the whole world, their unity wasn’t that strong.
It is even more possible to stage a terrorist attack for the purpose of reconnaissance now that it has become bisexual.
Nevertheless, Li Qing-yu had reasons for considering the possibility low.
“If I were them, I wouldn’t try to do reconnaissance like this. They would either quietly plant a spy inside or try to contact the swordsman directly.”
“Do you really think that the other princesses will come forward themselves?”
“Perhaps.”
The Seven Dragons were the organization that fought most fiercely against Limon.
That’s why they know better than anyone what Limon was like in the past.
Even though the times had changed, if she remembered even half of her status in the past, it wouldn’t be strange if another princess acted directly.
Even Li Qingyu himself went to Li Mon to propose to him.
“The reason why it doesn’t move right away is probably because the reputation of the swordsman is getting lower and lower after you got engaged to me.”
“…was that the reason why the princess didn’t take care of the swordsmith’s reputation?”
“It is one of the reasons. If the reputation of the swordsmith rises again, the movements of the other princesses will speed up as well.”
Youin understood in his heart.
I could see why Li Qing-yu leisurely watched Li Mon’s reputation decline.
“I will pay more attention to the movements of other clans.”
“No, more than that, please pay attention to internal crackdowns. Especially around the Leviathan employees
.”
“If they’re determined and sneaky, there’s no way to stop them anyway.”
Li Qingyu shook his head.
Then, looking at the arrangement of the chess pieces on the map, he quietly opened his mouth.
“Maybe there is a princess who has already started contacting the swordsman.”
“Can it be that?”
“It can be.”
Li Qingyu simply denied the words of Youin, who denied it, and added a word.
“Especially if you know how to play a swordsman, there are at least two people who will fly right away, right?”
“That’s…”
Youin blurted out his words.
Having heard Limon play, he knew.
Regardless of whether or not he is a sword master, Limon’s playing skills are in an unrivaled realm.
And as Li Qingyu said, among the seven princesses of the Seven Dragons, there were people who would come from the end of the world if they heard the performance.
The incarnation of an exclusive desire that cannot be tolerated unless you get what you want.
Or a princess who regards singing as her own life and travels all over the world for it.
“…They won’t have a chance to hear the swordsmith play.”
“I would love to do that too.”
Youin thought.
Li Qingyu’s worries are a bit excessive.
Among the Black Dragon clan, how would they listen to Limon’s performance, who had only heard Li Qingyu and himself Wei Ling?
And even if that happened, there was no way the princesses, who each had powers surpassing the king of their country, would act so rashly.

“Hmm that’s great.”
“What’s wrong, partner?”
“Why is it? It’s because of you.”
“What about me?”
It’s like you don’t know the meaning.
Watching Eugene tilt his head, Limon clicked his tongue.
“I thought you might have found a decent job because you said you would work.”
“Is this a decent enough job?”
“A waitress?”
Limon clicks his tongue as he sees Eugene serving with a tray in one hand and wearing a uniform.
However, Eugene was calm.
He just shrugged and put down the juice he brought.
“why? It’s the best job where you can earn money, get food, and sing occasionally.”
“…the last one isn’t what a waitress does, is it normal?”
“I don’t like to think that my partner is naive. Is it difficult to get a job in the world these days if you don’t have broad application skills and improvisation?”
It’s like you really don’t know anything about the world.
It was when Limon made a mysterious expression while watching Eugene wiggling his fingers left and right.
“ha ha ha! It is as Miss Eugene said. The waitress sings a little sometimes, so no problem. Not cancer.”
