I didn't mean to carefully hide it.
Of course, I just did what I had to do.
Therefore, I didn't boast about my achievements.
Nor I was hiding the facts.
It was contrary to the attitude of the aristocracy.
'In the end, it's because of this tiring personality.'
I looked at my smartphone and picked up a teacup.
Clink–
"It's very unusual."
It was a very simple sentiment.
If it was me in the past.
This tea time would have been suck.
The responses would have made me unable to sleep properly due to my heartbeats.
It wasn't just explosive.
The ripple effect was literally like a nuclear explosion.
First of all, the video of the battle against the great evil that Gaon released.
'I didn't know it was being recorded.'
It was originally for the purpose of analyzing the monster patterns.
Thanks to the fact that I accidentally got recorded there, it was like I put in a lot of trouble.
The expression of reporter Jung Manseok, who got taken aback by my words, was vivid.
"You just have to believe it."
I sounded like a religious leader.
Is that something easy to believe?
The fact that I had the authority of the Yusra Kingdom.
I was basically saying that I had made a tremendous achievement in the Yusra Kingdom and built a huge relationship and influence based on it.
Such a tremendous achievement at this point in time?
if you had any sense as a journalist.
You would notice.
I was the one who saved the Yusra Kingdom from the great evil.
I was the protagonist of the world-class message.
So it was only natural that no one would believe it.
Great evil, Greed of the Seven Deadly Sins.
He was level 650 and a demon-type monster.
"In the end, he was just an insignificant demon."
Now I was talking shamelessly.
Without the help of the Knights of Lionheart, Gaon, and Berserker… I wouldn't have been able to find him in the vast golden palace, and even if I did find him, I wouldn't have been able to fight him properly due to my mana depletion.
But I was the only one who know what happened.
And perhaps because of the editing.
Even to me, I looked strong in the video.
It felt a bit like watching a hero movie.
Yeah, it was all good.
…Except for one thing.
'This damn dark history.'
This guy's mouth is always the problem…!
[It's time to correct your mistake. Unknown King.]
It was time for Hakuna to correct his mistakes.
When will the time to correct my dark history come?!
The most disgraceful thing was.
The video decorated all kinds of portal sites, including Nettube.
What does that mean?
It meant that the people I loved and hated sent me messages.
– ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅁㅊyou punk
This message was sent with a link to the video.
By my enemy, Lee Yerim.
– Yeol, why are you getting more and more cool?
– How long are you going to stick with the middle school second-year syndrome concept?
– It doesn't look like that, so you can continue~ The reactions are good
No. 2, Lee Jiyoon, sent three messages, not just one.
– Maknae! It's good to see you getting more and more confident^^ Even Arang is going crazy saying that her uncle is like a prince! She asked several times when she could see you.
Oldest sister, Lee Eunhye.
….Yes, my eldest sister is nice.
She didn't mean to send it that way.
'…Arang. Don't think about seeing your uncle for a while.'
On the attached photo.
Arang was smiling brightly at me on TV.
I felt like my nephew had discovered my dark past.
This embarrassment was indescribable.
Of course, I didn't express it.
With a perfectly upright posture.
I couldn't stay calm, so I replied reverently.
– It's all thanks to noonims watching over me.
Damn you, manners and formality.
It was natural to be polite to older sisters.
My sworn enemy's message came up right away.
– Unnies, he must have really lost it
…It's done.
No matter what I said, I was the one who got tired.
But I was glad.
A long message from my oldest sister appeared.
– It seemed Mom and Dad were also relieved of their worries after seeing you this time! They didn't say it but they were very worriedㅜㅜ
Anyway, thanks to this pride, I didn't have to worry about my family.
I was a good son today.
'From now on, I'll just have to worry about myself.'
I was about to add fuel to the pouring flames.
'The Shinhwa Guild.'
The Shinhwa Guild was paying for the sin of offending me.
As much as they hid behind the media, they must be facing the backlash as well.
"But it's not enough."
Of course, bombarding them with netizens' comments was not enough.
'If it wasn't for that interview.'
I wouldn't have had to suffer this humiliation.
I slowly tilted my teacup and sharpened the blade of revenge.
I would to return this embarrassment twofold…
*
There was a war of nerves among the broadcasting stations.
Who would point a camera at Lee Hoyeol first!
The current topic of Lee Hoyeol was hard to express in words.
Just an angle capturing Lee Hoyeol alone.
At least 20% of viewer ratings would be guaranteed.
However.
"Reaching the ratings without going crazy…"
"Who would want to crawl into that tiger's den?"
"His feisty personality must be getting more feisty."
Could anyone step forward?
Lee Hoyeol, who was already difficult to cover.
He was actually strong enough to knock down a level 650 monster alone.
Not only that, he had openly expressed his annoyance, unlike before.
Today Arcana, PD Hyun Yongseok.
Even the guy who was crazy about rating had no choice but to step down this time.
"It was not long ago that our Jongjin almost died while riding a helicopter. I can't send him to his death again. I'll put up with it this time, Jongjin."
Even Hyun Yongseok ended it like that.
The situation at other stations didn't need to be mentioned.
Let's give up on Lee Hoyeol.
Just because they made such a judgment, they wouldn't just suck their fingers.
It wasn't as great as Lee Hoyeol's, and it was an enthusiastic reaction in a completely different way from Lee Hoyeol's, but…
There was a place where the viewership ratings were guaranteed.
"So, how is Shinhwa Group's headquarters responding?"
Shinhwa Group building.
The installed photo line was also full of broadcasting stations' cameras and reporters.
In fact, it was the Shinhwa Guild that got publicly shot by Lee Hoyeol.
Because Shinhwa Guild was basically an affiliate of the Shinhwa Group.
Click–
One of the reporters who had been blasting the camera flash for practice whispered.
"But, this isn't normal. Shinhwa, too."
"I know, right. I never thought they would make a frontal breakthrough."
"Anyway, ordinary people like us can't keep up with players' minds."
Master of the Shinhwa Guild, Baek Yiseol.
She gave an immediate answer to Lee Hoyeol's interview.
──────
[Breaking News] Shinhwa Guild Baek Yiseol, "Lee Hoyeol, I'll come find you."
──────
Even looking at it again, it was an attitude that made them stick out their tongue.
Aaa– Unwind.
The anchor, who was familiar with the script, told the director.
"They just admitted it cleanly, didn't they? They're the ones who hide nastily and use petty tricks. Well, actually, everyone who is aware of it knows this, but…"
"If they tried to pull feign ignorance, they would have been able to pull it off all the way. Well, just watch our broadcasting station. The Shinhwa guys are holding onto the higher-ups by the collar."
"Indeed, there is a constant stream of wailing at the press office. They're asking why they're getting cursed at."
They faced it head-on even when the public opinion had turned.
"Is there a reason they're being confident?"
When the anchor muttered, the director replied.
"Oh, it's your first time seeing Baek Yiseol, right?"
"…Yes? Yes. This is my first seeing her in person."
"Then, that made sense. Take a look later."
"Yes? Take a look at what?"
"You'll see where the confidence comes from."
"…?"
You'll find out once you see her.
Rather than solving his questions, his doubts grew bigger.
But that doubt didn't last long.
"Oh! She's here"
Click–!
Soon, Baek Yiseol appeared in front of the photo line.
Camera flashes showered her.
But Baek Yiseol didn't frown.
A coat over her shoulders.
An unconventional outfit that could be seen from below.
But more than that, she looked gorgeous.
Baek Yiseol.
Where her confidence came from.
You would find out when you saw her.
The anchor realized it the moment she faced Baek Yiseol.
'…She's beyond pretty.'
It was fascinating.
There was something fascinating about her.
It even made him forget his main job.
The director puffed at the distraught anchor.
– What are you doing? The cue signal is dropped!
"…!"
Coming to his sense, the anchor spoke.
"Yes, I'm in front of Shinhwa Group's headquarters!"
.
.
.
Mage Tower.
Even on the portal, there were many people around Baek Yiseol.
Even if the reporters had scattered, Nettuber players followed.
For them, she was a big bait that could attract viewers.
Well, just looking at it, they could see the angle.
"I, too, have been beaten by Shinhwa guys more than once or twice in the ruptures! Yes, don't spread hoaxes, you said? How do you know?"
Polar opposite.
Lee Hoyeol ran the best stock price.
Likewise, Shinhwa Guild ran the end of people's hatred.
Whatever the outcome.
They just had to sit back and enjoy.
There had never been a better opportunity for Nettubers.
– It's funny how this became a hot topicㅋㅋㅋ
– ㄹㅇㅋㅋ What do you think Hoyeol-nim is? Guys
– She's Guild Master of Shinhwa and a chaebol? If that's the case, behind Lee Hoyeol is the Yusra Kingdomㅋㅋㅋ
– Lee Hoyeol, not having manners? That's crazy
"That's right. Our Hoyeol hyungnim will definitely bring justice!"
They took Lee Hoyeol's side in moderation.
– But it's true that Shinhwa is backed by the politicians;;;
– ㄹㅇ I don't think it's going to be easy?
– And Baek Yiseol's negotiation is amazing.
– I am not confident of his ability;;
"As expected of viewers, hyungnims and noonims. That's a sharp point."
And they created a sense of crisis.
It was all about attracting viewers.
On top of that, they would look around and collect money.
"Then again, let's show some cool reactions of support for our Hoyeol hyungnim, shall we? Yes? We're cheering for Lee Hoyeol, but why am I getting the money? No, I have to make a living too…"
Such ruckus surrounded her.
But she only snorted a little.
'Go ahead and talk to your heart's content.'
What a fool.
It wouldn't be long before that reaction turned around.
Baek Yiseol, no, the succubus moved toward the portal.
The memory of Baek Yiseol that remained in her body about the portal,
It made her realize what role it played.
The succubus clicked her tongue at the people who followed.
'Foolish human.'
They were unnecessarily annoying.
Soon, the Yusra Kingdom came into view.
Sure enough, it radiated the hometown's atmosphere.
No, to be exact, her second hometown.
Because she had always been a demon born in hell.
The succubus headed straight for the Golden Palace.
'It's going to be on my hands.'
Lee Hoyeol.
She didn't imagine that he wouldn't fall for her temptations.
After taking over Baek Yiseol's body, she had grown rapidly.
Yeah, to put it in the words that remain in Baek Yiseol's memory…
'I've improved my level.'
She could even surpass high-level demons.
Besides, Lee Hoyeol was also a man, so he had no choice in this matter.
"What can I do for you?"
Unlike this woman who stood in her way.
It was Yesica who stopped her.
The Knights of Lionheart were serving as the Imperial guards of Yusra.
Baek Yiseol pursed her lips.
"I am Baek Yiseol. I'm here to meet Lee Hoyeol."
Yesica didn't say much.
"Outsiders are not allowed to enter. Please wait a moment."
Yesica left after saying that.
The succubus' eyes were sharp.
'You're foolishly naive.'
She seemed to trust Lee Hoyeol.
'Men are all the same.'
She was already ecstatic when she thought of Yesica's disappointed face.
Perhaps that's why the wait didn't feel boring.
Besides, there was a lot of noise around her.
"I think we're here?"
"This is the perfect time to take a break, please like and subscribe."
"…You want me to enter too? No, how do I get in there? You're so mean, seriously! The Knights of Lionheart will stab me to death!"
And Yesica came back.
"…?"
But for some reason.
The corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
Yesica didn't say anything much this time either.
"Please go back."
…Wait, what?
G-Go back?
The succubus was dumbfounded.
That couldn't be.
She probably didn't deliver it properly.
"Did you tell him right? Shinhwa Guild's Baek Yiseol has come…"
Yesica nodded straight away.
"Today he has no time to waste on meetings. Go back."
She continued in a cold voice.
"He told me to deliver it that way."
For a moment, silence flowed between the two of them—
"…"
However, there was no way the Nettubers would quietly let it pass.
"…What, not only he rejected her, he slammed the door to her face?"
"He definitely said he didn't have time to waste, right? Then, it means that meeting with Baek Yiseol is a waste of time…?"
"H-Hyungnims! I think Baek Yiseol just got dumped!"
