From then on, Joo Sae-yoon ostracized without hiding it. It was difficult to grasp the exact reason.
Was it because he had a grudge from the Giant White Tiger biting his hand? Did the leader of a team have that small of a mind?
No, it didnt seem like it was that simple of a reason he was angry at . Of course, his pride would have taken a hit. However, he himself should know that it was thanks to that he had survived. There was definitely a reason he was trying to push away regardless of that.
Also, there was a person I could ask this about right next to .
Han Joon-suk fell into contemplation and slowly opened his mouth.
Probably. Its because he doesnt want the credit to be stolen.
The credit?
Joo Sae-yoon section chief is a governnt official. If he completes this work then his road to a higher managent seat would open up. Since An Gyu-bum is here on top of that he would want to look good. Thats why he wants to make this expedition a success. Also, he thinks that he should take the greatest credit in leading the governnt team to victory.
Is it for such a reason that hes ostracizing us?
Even so, no matter how one looked at it there was a visible difference in military strength. It was proven through several battles that if the governnt team fights without then they inevitably struggle. Is he so blinded for victory to ignore that?
He probably knows himself that it is unreasonable. However, it is sothing that must be done from his point of view. Even if this expedition was successful, if that was spread as being thanks to team Delta, no, party leaders abilities then there would be doubts about his abilities after all. Then of course his ambitions would end there.
However, if he fails then its not a problem of promotion.
I felt stuffy. If Han Joon-suks words were true then Joo Sae-yoon was putting the lives of thousands of hunters at risk for just him to advance in life.
There are people whose desire to stand above others is greater than their desire for survival after all. This person called Joo Sae-yoon is probably soone who is included in that category.
Then theres a high chance that I will be left out of the coming operation plans.
Its only a speculation. I am over 90% certain about it thought.
I did think that I didnt like the governnt bastards but to entrust the lives of thousands to that kind of guy. Is there really not a single one that can think properly?
They have been doing well for too long.
Han Joon-suk continued as he let out a deep sigh.
Koreas hunters were at the apex for too long. Nobody was able to keep them in check and because of that they have been drowned in conceit that they are the strongest. It was true in reality too. Thats why, no matter how much the ones that led them do as they please it didnt beco a problem. Those festering problems are exploding now.
It was so.
The thought that the likes of China should be dealt with simply. That obvious logic had been shaken so Joo Sae-yoon had fallen into panic.
If he put in on top of that he wouldnt be able to keep up appearances. The rumor of using monsters as weapons was already spreading as far as it could and if my role continued to the end, his position as the governnt team leader would beco insignificant.
In the end, if Joo Sae-yoon didnt end the war without , his future is dark.
It will be difficult as it is.
What are we going to do.
Well, we should do like we usually do. Did we ever do things as others told us to do?
I thought you would think like that.
Han Joon-suk smiled. It was a face that said that he had understood everything I was going to do.
I couldnt help saying sothing.
I always wanted to say this but. Could you not do that thing were you seem like you know everything about what Im thinking? It really hurts my pride?
Oh, did party leader not know?
About what?
There is probably no one in our party that doesnt know what party leader is thinking.
Do I really show it on my face that much? No, does that an that Soo-ah is reading my thoughts all the ti?
That Jang Moon-bok fellow probably knows too.
Urg.
It was to the point that a new guy could read my thoughts.
A sigh ca out involuntarily. It started thinking that I should take care of my expression. I was still the leader of an organization, if I couldnt keep my poker face then I wouldnt have any dignity.
Pft. Theres no need to force yourself to make such a solemn expression. That is part of party leaders charm after all.
I dont feel happy hearing that from a guy though.
Then you can just hear it from a girl.
I barely prevented him from calling Soo-ah. This guy also liked playing around with too much.
We will leave now.
Eum Young-hyeon who heard had an expression of agony.
Must you do so?
I dont think it would help much even if Im here. It would be better not to be here than to see the suffering with my own eyes.
I know that section chief Joo is a problem as well. I will try to convince him with General Lee so how about you wait a little longer.
He was truly thinking that it was a sha to let leave. However, I shook my head. In the first place, in this organization that had the alternative service team as the main force, Joo Sae-yoons opinion was absolute.
It wasnt weird that Eum Young-hyeon couldnt defy his words in any way.
Rather than being put at a distance by needlessly interfering it was better to entirely be separate.
I wasnt part of the governnt team in the first place after all. If I made many achievents here then I think it will instead beco a problem later.
I understand.
Eum Young-hyeon let out a sigh as he nodded his head. He also understood the awkwardness of the situation I was put in. My ability was greater than any other person here.
I had the power to penetrate the Chungho Groups siege on my own, and I even had the intelligence network to predict the enemys ambush.
These two things were sothing necessary for the governnt team right now. However, in a situation where Joo Sae-yoon didnt think it was necessary it didnt beco a card that can be used.
If I was deployed at that ti then it would already be too late. The war situation would have turned and the damage would have piled up like a mountain. Even if they were to win in that situation I wouldnt hear anything good. He was a human being that would reprimand asking why I didnt join eariler.
I did not want to fight in such a difficult battle.
I said my farewells to Eum Young-hyeon and our team finished our preparations to leave.
Are you leaving?
Yes. It seems Im not very welco.
Im sorry.
There is no need for lieutenant Son to be sorry.
Even so. I should have done sothing.
I know well that it would be impossible. Thats why there is no need to take it to heart. Right. I will leave the Milworm as it is so please use it well like before.
I wont even leave the base though.
Just in case. Then, goodbye for now.
I parted with her and we started moving.
There were even people asking where we were going. I was already a well known person here. However, I didnt reply. There was no need to cut down morale at this point.
Ah. I just rembered that I had a place I needed to stop by.
Where?
Soo-ah said.
You know Im the type of person that cant stay still while curious about sothing.
The place I went to before leaving the base was An Gyu-bums tent.
What is it?
Jeon Min-jeong held her spear the block my way.
She showed animosity from beginning to end. Wasnt this overdoing it when we even participated in battle together.
I ca because I had sothing ask An Gyu-bum.
I will pass it on for you.
There is nothing good about the outside hearing it though?
Say it in a low voice.
Ah. There was such a thod.
I nodded my head and whispered in her ear.
You guys.
Wha, what are you doing.
Min-jeongs face got red as she pushed her spear towards . I lightly laughed as I felt the cold feeling under my chin.
You told to talk in a low voice, are you saying that because you dont know how many have good ears here?
Urg.
There was no one here that was normal. They were at least level 3 and if you excluded the executives, there were even level 6. Would there only be one or two among them that had good ears. She also realized that and couldnt retort.
Tell him to co in.
An Gyu-bums voice could be heard from inside the tent.
Jeon Min-jeong guided in as if it couldnt be helped. An Gyu-bum was waiting for while sitting on the bed.
He had a good life, to have a bed in a place like this. Where the hell was that from?
Its an item.
An Gyu-bum said. Everybodys reading my thoughts I see. I should really live while taking care of my expression.
I bought it in an auction for a high price. Its an object that becos small enough to be carried around. Fatigue is relieved after sleeping on this. Jealous right?
Not really.
It seems to be a new item dropped from a Red Hole. It was probably dropped when it was only open for exactly a day.
I searched on the Delta Store and found that the sa item was being sold for 10EP.
How much did you buy it for?
10b.
Be moderate in your money bullshit.
You dare!
Jeon Min-jeong held up her spear once more.
I held the spear with one hand.
Huh?
There was confusion on her expression. A weapon item had a different level of cutting power compared to normal swords. On top of that, a level 6 equipnt. It was at a level where a finger would go flying with a scratch and I had grabbed that with my bare hands.
Do it moderately yeah? My patience has its limits as well.
Shut up.
Veins popped up on her arms. Her strength seed to be pretty good but it was no use against .
An Gyu-bum frowned.
Leave it at that. Min-jeong, you relax as well.
Understood.
As she relaxed first I also let go of the spear.
An Gyu-bum opened his mouth.
You have sothing to say to ?
Its nothing big. I was wondering if there was sothing you knew more about the Chungho Group.
Whats that supposed to an?
His eyebrow twitched. It was a expression that said he was feeling unpleasant.
You running away from the battle.
Do you want to die?
If you had run away after being scared of fighting then you wouldnt even try to co back here in the first place. That said, you ran away because of the difference in numbers? Then it didnt make sense to cooperate with us in the rescue operation. I dont think that youre a scaredy cat to that degree.
What are you trying to say?
Sothing happened right?
.
His expression stiffened.
I think that there was a reason you had to leave the battlefield. Although I dont know what that reason is.
No need for you to know.
So there is sothing. I understand that its sothing hard to say. I will ask one more thing. Is it related to the Chungho Group?
Its a personal problem.
Then thats fine.
I said so and turned around. Thanks to him replying properly I was able to relieve one burden.
I was thinking that the battle would be more difficult if the Chungho Group had sothing special that we didnt know about but since it wasnt like that for now.
