Episode #95. Do you think you need it?
“No work.”
“Why don’t you think about it again?”
“Do I need to think about it?”
A young man in a military uniform.
Shelong snorted.
Then, looking at the woman dressed as a man standing across from him, he said coldly.
“Who would accept a crazy proposal to change the company’s entire security and security system?”
“As there is a possibility that this is the next target for the beasts, this is what we should do if we consider the safety of the company.”
“If you think about safety, you can’t do more.”
“…What does it mean?”
“Isn’t this guardian system ultimately entrusting everything to your company? Where the swordsman’s mad dog is the representative.”
Cheonhwa Department Store.
Among the subsidiaries of the Black Dragon Clan, it is a fairly high-profit company.
The head of security, Xuelong, twitched his lips.
“If you’re not a traitor who sold your clan, what can you trust and entrust to such an old-fashioned nemesis?”
“Be careful with your words.”
“why? Ah, come to think of it, was it the princess you respected who entrusted the safety of the clan to him?”
Shelong kept a sneer.
“The princess is really great too. Selling all of the clan’s property wasn’t enough, and now you’re giving the enemy the lifeline of the clan.”
Chanang!
It was right after that.
The knife was stuck in the chair Shelong was sitting on.
“I told you to be careful with your words, Shelong.”
In the blink of an eye, a cross-dressing woman pulled out her sword and pierced it into Cherong’s ear.
Seeing Wei Ling’s cold eyes, he involuntarily swallowed dry saliva.
But that’s for a while.
Xuelong immediately had a sneer on him.
“You’d better be careful.”
“I don’t think there’s any reason for me to take your advice.”
“It must have been when you were the princess’s escort. But how are you now?”
Chao Weiling.
Heir to the prestigious Chao family.
In addition, he was trusted by the princess from a young age and won the martial arts competition at a young age and was recognized as promising by the entire Chilryonghoe.
If Wei Ling was my opponent at the time, I wouldn’t have been able to say such a stupid thing.
It was because Wei Ling was too high an existence to be comfortable with just because of motivation.
But that was a story of the past.
“You’re just playing the role of the mad dog’s minion. It was also abandoned by the princess.”
Being dismissed from the princess’s escort.
After being appointed as Limon’s secretary.
Wei Ling’s prestige fell to the ground.
No, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was damaged enough to dig the bottom and make a tunnel.
Originally, as high as his reputation was, the stigma of serving the enemy of the clan seemed even deeper and clearer.
“Are you going to give the princess such foolish allegiance at this point?”
“What do you want to say?”
“Just following orders unconditionally is not loyalty.”
She Lung smiles smirkingly.
Looking at him, Wei Ling raised her eyes.
As an escort for the former princess, she had seen and heard many things by Li Qingyu’s side, and there was no way she didn’t know the meaning.
“You mean, for example, the swordsmith’s engagement to be broken and the princess forcibly married to another clan?”
“If your lord can’t make the right decision, forcing him to make it is also the duty of loyal subjects.”
“I didn’t know the elders were still having such foolish thoughts.”
“Hey, don’t make hasty assumptions. This is my personal opinion, which has nothing to do with the elder.”
“Don’t bullshit.”
I don’t know if it’s something else.
Discussing Li Qingyu’s wedding was something only the elders could do.
It’s just that the elders are playing tricks behind the scenes because Li Qingyu has a weakness and can’t come out directly.
“Don’t be emotional, think carefully. Really what it is for the clan and who needs to show off if it’s going to be a new line.”
Do you believe in the elders behind the scenes?
It’s like you think you’re superior.
Wei Ling, who was looking at the arrogant She Lung with cold eyes, opened her mouth quietly.
“Is that the end of the confession?”
“why? Are you going to arrest me and accuse me of being loyal?”
“I won’t.”
Wei Ling made a cool decision.
If the elders are looking after Xuelong, they can’t simply punish him.
If he punished him at will without solid evidence, he would give the elders an excuse to counterattack and only make Li Qing-yu in trouble.
But that didn’t mean she didn’t have the tools to use.
“Instead, I will pass those words on to the swordsmith.”
“…what?”
“So, if the swordsman comes to you out of anger, don’t blame the princess.”
“Weirin you…!”
Xuelong’s face twisted.
Because I didn’t know she would come out like this.
He glared at Wei Ling as if he were going to eat him, and eventually spat out a sarcastic remark.
“Seeing how loyal you are, you must have already given your heart and body to that old man, right? Why did you make me your concubine instead?”
“It is a natural duty as a secretary to report business matters to the swordsman, the representative of the Guardian.”
“…Yes, sell yourself like that and at least learn swordsmanship. If you don’t get even that, it will be unfair, so Cao Weiring!”
“Shelong.”
Xuelong was taken aback.
Wei Ling’s eyes were cold.
It was because I felt a cool yet creepy life rising from the depths.
It was a different level of simple threat, as if he was seriously contemplating whether to kill Shelong.
“Please do not call me by my pseudonym.”
“…”
“If you commit such rudeness again, next time it won’t end with a warning.”
According to the old clan’s rules, disrespect that goes beyond the limit will be settled with a duel.
It’s too polite to be a threat.
It’s too bloody to be a warning.
Wei Ling, who drew the sword with only a few words left, turned his back and left.
“…That cheeky bitch!”
After Wei Ling disappeared, Xuelong, who was barely freed from the stiffness, let out a shout.
“You still have the knack for pissing people off! Damn bitch!”
Although it has already fallen as it would fall.
An unchanging gaze from the time when he was called the best late index of the Black Dragon clan.
And the act of being intimidated by the light of the eyes and not being able to do anything ignited Shelong’s anger.
A past that is still vivid in my memory.
It was because it reminded me of the time when I lightly defeated myself in the match and turned my back without paying any attention.
“Heung swordsmith. Just holding on to that rotten rope and acting arrogantly.”
It’s been a long time since I’ve been so brave.
She Lung barely calmed down.
It’s because I’ve tried to convince myself that things are different now than in the past.
‘It won’t be long before the swordsman is kicked out anyway.’
The elders were strangely prudent and cautious about dealing with Limon, but in Shelong’s eyes, it was just an overreaction.
It’s like Limon is already over.
After tricking their princess to get a company like Guardian, they were just running around doing gangster things.
What if the marriage proceeds like this?
The elites of the Seven Dragons will rise up and try to kill Limon.
‘In the past, sword masters were said to be absolute, but even so, they are now obsolete.’
Shelong snorted.
Power was everything in the past.
In this day and age, as long as you have money and power, you can collect miracle-causing items and even invincible players.
In fact, rumors were circulating that the elders were already in contact with the lords through other clans as well as teenage guilds.
The power and wealth of the Seven Dragons.
A player in a teenage guild.
Even the absolute monarch there.
What if you put all that power together properly?
Even if the Sword Emperor came back alive, he would have no choice but to enter the coffin again.
‘I’m afraid that old man would do things like this, too.’
widely!
Shelong snorted as she put the papers and business cards for the Guardian System that Wei Ling brought and left behind in the trash.
‘It’s funny that we can’t handle just a few menacing beasts!’
We know the tragedy of Black Dragon Construction.
It was not unaware that there were affiliates that suffered damage in subsequent raids.
But it never occurred to him that he couldn’t fend off some of those criminals.
‘Besides, forcing a contract under the pretext of several wrong predictions is like a shameless old man.’
The Guardian said that they did a great job in predicting and stopping the attack of the beasts, but in Shelong’s view, it was just a lucky result.
Just looking at the number of wrong precedents, it was clear that it was not believable.
Even if it’s not luck, he’s just getting information from players with prophecy skills or prophets.
I didn’t need that information.
Even if he is confident that he can catch anyone, there is no reason to borrow the power of an outdated old man like a swordsman.
If things don’t work out, we’ll have to borrow the help of the teenage guilds or other clans that the elders are in contact with.
‘Wait and see, Wei-ling. When that time comes, I will definitely make you kneel at my feet for four years!’
Dreaming of a future in which he would play a role in expelling Limon and defeat Wei Ling, She Long smiled grimly.
But that smile soon disappeared.
Before a hopeful future arrives.
Because a very special guest came to visit him first.
Tiririririring!
“huh?”
Suddenly the emergency bell rings.
A scream erupts in the distance.
The moment when you want the surroundings to be noisy.
A warrior opened the door and jumped in, shouting urgently.
“Captain! It’s a raid!”
“…what?!”
It’s time to put on a bewildered expression.
Sherong, who suddenly came to his senses, jumped up from his seat.
“Where are you? What kind of guys are they!?”
“This is the luxury store on the 10th floor of Building A! The masked man is rampaging and killing customers indiscriminately!”
“This crazy…!”
Would this be the expression of a person who went up on a roof to install a lightning rod and was struck by lightning?
Shelong felt dizzy.
I was warned by Wei Ling.
But to him, who thought the warning itself was a bluff to threaten him and make a contract, this situation was really unexpected when the beasts attacked him.
“Ask for support from the Shanghai royal family and gather all the guards in Building A! And general staff, evacuate the guests and tell them to get out!”
“yes!”
Xuelong hastily gave instructions.
Although he is undervalued compared to Wei Ling, he is also the elite of the Black Dragon clan.
No matter how embarrassing the situation, he was not such an idiot that he forgot what he had to do.
“After all employees have been evacuated, block outside intervention! Don’t let anyone get in here except for support!”
“yes? And the police too?”
“Are you going to inform the outside that our department store was attacked!?”
“I see.”
After giving the instructions, taking political judgments and business calculations into account, Xuelong took the spear that had been hung on the wall.
And before running out of the room.
He glared at the trash can with fierce eyes, then turned away with gritted teeth.
‘I don’t need the help of such an outcast or a traitor!’
She Lung was confident as she led her subordinates and ran like lightning to Building A.
Rather, this is an opportunity.
If you deal with the chest water yourself, you can make a big contribution.
And only then will he be able to avenge the disgrace of losing to Wei Ling in the martial arts competition.
he was so confident
“Quaaaaaagh!”
“Oh, comrade, you said you were going to die once. Why are you screaming so loud because only one eye was taken?”
…less than 10 minutes ago.
That is, right before a knife was stabbed in his own eye.
