Chapter 287
Looking at the empty ceiling of the hospital, Lee Seong-hwan thought.
‘…This is true.’
It was unprecedented for a villain to invade the gapole Tower, which symbolizes national security.
However, Rebellion, led by Naless, was such an organization. Seonghwan Lee was not surprised by their reckless behavior.
What really surprised Lee Seong-hwan was the person he thought he knew best.
‘perhaps. very possibly.’
When Lee Si-woo said he was a hunter, Lee Seong-hwan thought that choice was a childish rebellion.
Siwoo Lee is the best weapon that Seonghwan Lee has cultivated since childhood. I had no doubts that he had qualities more suitable for a city guard than a hunter.
And I always thought that I was the one who could bring that quality to bloom. So, even by threatening using Sakura’s dojo, he made her co back under him.
but.
‘Maybe I’m wrong.’
Lee Seong-hwan was doubting himself at the sight of Lee Si-woo at the gapole Tower.
Siwoo Lee saved himself against Claw, one of the best hunters among the 6th graders. To gamble with one’s life against such a formidable foe. If Lee Seong-hwan’s education was really a priority, it was a decision that Lee Si-woo should never have made.
Are you really right?
At the mont when Seonghwan Lee could not be sure, he heard a familiar voice through the curtain.
“Sakura… You’re also a patient. You’re lying down. What are you doing there?”
Siwoo Lee, the owner of the voice.
In addition, looking at the silhouette reflected through the curtains, there was another person next to Lee Si-woo’s bed.
“…Of course I woke up earlier than you, so I’m here. If you had woken up earlier, you would have co to .”
“Ha… you… yes. thank god. It seems to be fine.”
“okay. You don’t know how lucky I am to be able to open my eyes. Didn’t that cold marble floor almost turn into a tomb?”
As Lee Si-woo and Sakura continued their friendly conversation, Lee Seong-hwan, who had beco an eavesdropper, couldn’t even make a sign.
‘If it’s Sakura… yes. The child of the dojang’ Lee Seong
-hwan, who excluded the dojang from the city guard’s training list, thought that Sakura would regard him as an enemy.
Of course, that didn’t change my mind. A bow required much more training than a gun to catch monsters, and it was considered outdated to be used as a weapon.
‘They must have resented .’
However, it was true that Lee Si-woo beca easier to deal with thanks to allowing the dojo to beco a training ground for City Guard again.
When Lee Shi-u, who had been through no threats until now, caught Sakura’s dojo as an excuse, he quickly returned to his side.
It was very convenient for Lee Seong-hwan, but the reason he was able to do that was thanks to the belief that he knew Si-woo Lee’s potential best.
but now.
Lee Seong-hwan’s faith was gradually shattering.
* * *
Sakura’s expression contained joy and disapproval at the sa ti that Lee Siu had woken up.
“Isn’t it ti to explain?”
“That’s it…”
Lee Si-woo could hardly open his mouth. But what to hide in the yard that got Sakura caught up in this?
“I told you. I know how precious your dojo and father are to you. Sakura, your dream is there. The dream I’ve been holding all this ti…”
Sakura just stared at Lee Siu as he brought up a story. She had no intention of rebuking Lee Si-woo.
It was just full of sadness. There was no way Sakura would be grateful for such an action, pretending to be a villain for her own sake and running away.
“But I’ve been with you for a few months at most…”
“So you tried to disappear from for the sake of the dojo?”
“Because I thought of you who were happy to see the number of people increase in the dojang.”
Sakura, who had been silently listening to the story, had a distorted expression for a mont and buried her face in Lee Siu’s blanket.
“Siwoo….”
“Crying again… don’t cry. Cherry Blossom. no fault of yours I was just a coward.”
Embarrassed that Sakura, who always looked lively, was actually such a crybaby, Lee Siu stroked Sakura’s hair to soothe her.
“…cowardice?”
“Well… I thought it would be very sad if you said you would choose a dojo instead of . So I just gave up first.”
Even though it was Lee Shiu who left, Sakura fell into a situation where she could neither get angry nor rebuke her.
“…How can I punish you?”
What more could he reproach Lee Si-woo for doing all this for himself?
“No matter how stupid you are, if you’re such a deep-seated fool… After all, I don’t want to miss it. Serve by my side for about 100 years. Then I’ll see you.”
“Aren’t you too long?”
Sakura imdiately released as if she had acted like she was going to eat her.
“Then can you co back now?”
“Sakura, what do you think? Even if the dojang goes back to the way it was before, is it really okay?”
“How famous am I? Not like that anymore!”
Joo Woo-wook-
Sakura smiled brightly as he tugged on Lee Si-woo’s cheek.
“And… it’s because I can see the proud side of my dad who likes our dojang, and it’s because of the people who trust him and co to visit .”
Sakura’s voice was kind and playful, and it was so soft and sweet that it made Lee Siu’s heart lt.
“Siwoo, I have nothing to gain by sacrificing you.”
Even after Sakura’s words, Siu Lee lowered his head and couldn’t make a decision.
“…huh?”
After all, Sakura, who couldn’t wait, earnestly asked.
Swoop-
The curtain on the other side was drawn, and a silhouette of a nearly 2-ter-tall figure rose from its seat.
“No, you don’t have to choose.”
How long have you been listening to the story? Lee Seong-hwan, who stood up from the seat next to him, looked down at Lee Si-woo and Sakura and said high-handedly.
“No matter how hard you save hostages, you risked your life in a battle where Rebellion had no chance. So that this child nad Sakura gets caught up in it too.”
Lee Seong-hwan made Lee Si-woo hold a gun even before he entered the academy. He had no doubt that he was the one who knew Siwoo Lee’s potential better than anyone else.
but now.
“For City Guard, cool-headed judgnt cos first. I was so educated, but I was wrong. You don’t fit in with the City Guard.”
When Lee Seong-hwan said this to Lee Si-woo, who tried to save his life, Sakura, who couldn’t hear it, raised her voice to Lee Seong-hwan.
“What do you say! Siwoo is trying to save you…”
“Wait a mont, Sakura.”
But did I feel sothing?
Lee Si-woo rather stopped Sakura. Then, he waited for the next story of his father Lee Seong-hwan.
“Yeah… Siwoo, you.”
Bubbly.
“I think Hunter would be more suitable than City Guard.”
Why did Seonghwan Lee say that since he was wrong, it was okay to beco a hunter? To say that I acknowledge Siwoo Lee. Couldn’t I just express it like this?
However, Lee Si-woo looked at the closed door and muttered softly, as if that expression was enough.
“Father…”

The night after all the operations.
After leaving the hideout, Claw looked at the moon in the sky and let out a long sigh.
[So, let them go. I won’t stop you if you do that.]
‘He hasn’t changed.’
if.
If that hadn’t happened, how would he have t Maylen? But that was a pointless thought.
Claw chose to condemn even if her hands were stained with blood. Instead of becoming an apostle of justice, which would only appear in a great man, he decided to walk the path of revenge.
It was clear what was lost in return.
What was to be gained was too faint.
mories that had already been erased by others left fragnts floating around Claw’s head.
[That’s…]
And the starting point of that mory was always the sa.
[Sorry, you lost your mory? okay. It can’t be helped since such a terrible thing happened.]
Claw thought of soone’s hand stroking her hair, feeling sorry for her.
[Chie! Your na is Chie!]
Wearing a white coat, she gave Chloe the na Chie.
[Even though you lost your mory, you will accomplish great things with us. okay. You can think of us as a family instead of a lost family!]
They claid to be family.
It was only natural that Chloe would follow her. Her existence was the only light to Chloe who had lost her mory.
[mories you lost? You’re still curious about that.]
Chloe believed everything she said.
[You were rescued by hunters from a monster raid.]
Whatever it is.
[I think I was shocked in the process, I lost all my childhood mories, and the sa goes for my family.]
Anything.
[We took you like that. Chie…. What we say is all the truth. Those wicked whispers wandering through your head… those mories.]
I couldn’t even doubt it.
[It’s all lies. It’s just a disease that needs to be cured.]
He took care of himself.
she’s like an angel
Why would you deceive yourself?
But despite that belief.
‘Maylin. I’m different from you.’
Chloe was betrayed.
‘No truth was allowed to .’
lost mory.
The tragedy that Chloe suffered.
and to the family.
Nothing in her story was true. All of Chloe’s past she told was just a made-up story.
Of course, the worst of all was that Chloe had a sister who had been abandoned with her, and that she could no longer see them.
‘2997.’
A being who was Chloe’s sister.
However, without even having a na, he disappeared along with the 4 digit number.
[Why why ! Do you think sothing would have changed if you knew the truth!?]
Upon learning the truth, Claw ended all of this relationship with a short answer to her screaming out in anger.
[No, that doesn’t matter. This revenge… it’s because I trusted you too much.]
So I stained my hands with blood.
Chloe swore.
Until the mont you get your mory back.
I will sohow punish those who did all this.
I swore to myself, not the sky.
Jerk, jibbeok, jabbeok.
Perhaps because of his timid personality, the sound of footsteps cautiously approaching him.
“…why did you follow ?”
Liu Ming pointed at Claw’s shoulder, who was wearing a suit.
“That shoulder…”
Liu Ming said, and Claw looked at her shoulder. There was blood on the top of the suit, but there was no problem. It was not even a fatal wound to Claw, but it was a wound so common that it would heal naturally even if left alone.
“…done. It doesn’t matter, so you can go back to your hideout.”
Despite Claw’s cold response, however, Liu Ming insisted on sitting next to her until the end.
“It’s not a big deal to Mr. Claw, but. still! It’s just like being sick.”
Seeing Liu Ming’s stubbornness to the end, Claw eventually took off her clothes to reveal her shoulder blades.
Liu Ming raised her hand as if satisfied only then.
Saaa-
It began to heal the claw while emitting golden light.
‘…Even if it’s not a big deal. The pain is the sa.’
Claw had no choice but to acknowledge Liu Ming’s single words. Liu Ming was truly the kind of person they didn’t fit in with.
