Chapter 706 – Side Story Episode 40. The Story After That (40)
Hoyeon Lee and the senior members of the Iris Guild (Elise, Irene, and Isaac) had an in-depth conversation to prepare for terrorism.
Of course, nothing much changed from the initial plan.
‘In the end, I have to do everything.’
There are no complaints.
The harder you work, the stronger the friendship between wizard Lee Ho-yeon and Iris Guild will be shown.
It’s understandable in many ways, but it’s true that it’s annoying.
“Guild leader. “I have a question.”
Hoyeon Lee roughly organized the pile of documents and opened her mouth.
“What is it?”
“EK Guild is one of the best in the world, right? Moreover, he has joined forces with other guilds and terrorists, so his opponent’s power seems to be quite strong… “Would the terrorist attack have succeeded without my help?”
Even though it was Iris Guild, the opponent’s strength was not that great.
In particular, the EK guild, the leader, had a fairly strong power even if it was rotten.
Isaac blinked for a moment at Lee Ho-yeon’s question, then shook his head resolutely.
“Since we already know everything about terrorism… No matter how strong it is, there is a high possibility that it could have been stopped with the power of the Iris Guild alone. There may be a few casualties, but terrorists can never take over the party venue.”
“Yes? But I don’t think the other person knows that… Why are they trying to carry out terrorism?”
Simply because it’s stupid is not enough of an explanation.
There must have been talented people in the opposing guild, but Lee Ho-yeon’s common sense could not understand why they were pushing forward with terrorism in an absolutely unfavorable situation.
“Because they are cowards.”
“Are you a coward?”
“Most of those who joined hands with the EK Guild were those who did not participate in the battle against the Demon King. “They are the ones who got scared and turned away from a battle where the survival of humanity was at stake.”
“… “They were really killers.”
Hoyeon Lee frowned.
I still remember all the faces of the hunters who participated in the last battle.
Lee Ho-yeon himself will not leave alone those who do not participate in the fierce battle and only enjoy the benefits.
“Guilds that did not participate in the battle lost trust at the cost of sacrificing themselves. It’s so natural. “They didn’t know the basis of the rights they enjoyed.”
Isaac was actually grateful for their movements.
If time passes like this, the battle with the Demon King will be gradually forgotten, and it will be infuriating to see the EK guild run amok afterward.
“Isn’t it strange that cowards are suddenly leading terrorist attacks?”
“Even a scared dog will bark when its territory is invaded. “It’s the final struggle of a defeated dog.”
“… After all, killing seems like a good idea.”
The more I listen to it, the more it seems like trash that cannot be rehabilitated.
“If you were the one fighting at the forefront that day, it’s natural for you to be angry. But… Isn’t that why you can’t kill it easily? “You have to pay for your sins.”
Isaac chuckled and spoke less.
We must expose all their secrets and make them never show their faces again.
This terrorist attack will be the starting point.
“But. “They are trash that cannot be easily killed.”
Hoyeon Lee looked at the list of crimes committed by the guys at the corner of the table.
I became even more angry when I thought that these evildoers did not even participate in the final battle.
“They say there are no clean people in the world, but these guys are really amazing.”
“Are you saying that to the Iris Guild?”
“It can’t be. “That’s what they say to me too.”
Ho-yeon Lee shrugged his shoulders and put the documents down on the table.
Iris Guild can’t just live a good life if they want to grow this big.
Even if it wasn’t such a serious crime, I would have done something a little bad.
“Wizard Lee Ho-yeon. All the emotions are reflected on your face. Iris Guild is a better place than you think. “He can’t be an embarrassing father to his two daughters.”
Hoyeon Lee smiled slightly as she looked at Isaac.
Sometimes, I think this guy also understands a little bit why women are attracted to him.
“All right. I also cooperate with the Iris Guild as much as possible…”
At that time, I remembered what Isaac said earlier.
I said we needed titles that fit each other’s positions.
“I will cooperate. … “My father-in-law.”
“… ?”
Collock-
Ellis, who had been quietly drinking tea, turned her head at Lee Ho-yeon’s words.
Irene, who was concentrating on their conversation, avoided her eyes as if she was embarrassed.
Puzzle-
And as Isaac watched his two daughters’ actions, veins appeared on Isaac’s forehead.
‘This bastard…’
Who can call me father-in-law as they please?
Although she was aware of the relationship between Lee Ho-yeon and her daughter, hearing that she was actually her father-in-law made her blood boil.
“… But no matter how much wizard Lee Ho-yeon is, he can’t entrust such an important task without any verification.”
Isaac instinctively spat out aggressive words.
Before he knew it, his favorite dagger was placed on the table.
All he thought was that as his father, he had to protect his daughter.
“Dad? What do you mean?”
“Father. Hoyeon Lee came for us.”
“I know that wizard Lee Ho-yeon is strong, but… Shouldn’t we talk about the long and the short? Lee Ho-yeon Wizard. What do you think?”
“… How could I challenge the guild leader?”
Hoyeon Lee licked her lips and avoided Isaac’s eyes.
Was I fussing for no reason? I said it secretly because the atmosphere was definitely nice…
“I’m not asking for much either. Wouldn’t it be okay to just mix hands for a moment?”
Of course I know.
Even if they fight at night, Isaac cannot defeat Hoyeon Lee.
But… If you’re lucky, you might be able to beat the thief who took your daughter.
“Dad. Stop. Don’t even mix your hands.”
“Father. “You said not to fight a battle you can’t win.”
However, Ellis and Irene’s firm words caught Isaac’s ears.
He looked at his two daughters with a lost expression.
“Ta, daughter. How could you say that to your dad…”
“I’m saying this because I like my dad. “I don’t want to see Lee Ho-yeon get hit.”
“Father. Even considering the authority of the guild leader…”
Ellis and Irene shook their heads with serious expressions.
They were truly worried about Isaac.
The more this happened, the more sad Isaac’s expression became.
‘I heard that everyone in the Iris Guild seems strange.’
Ho-yeon Lee sipped her tea while watching the trio play.
*
“The intruder is finally gone. Now I can finally talk properly. Ha… “I suddenly felt some strange wind.”
Ellis sighed and cleaned up the table where her papers were scattered.
Only three people remained in the office: Ellis, Irene, and Lee Ho-yeon.
‘Isn’t it a bit of a nuisance to your real dad?’
Lee Ho-yeon recalled the scene he had seen a moment ago and looked at Ellis.
After the official talk, Lee Ho-yeon planned to spend time talking with Ellis and Irene for the first time in a long time.
– It’s been a while since we last met, so let’s clear things up. Wizard Lee Ho-yeon.
But Isaac stayed until the end.
He didn’t back down no matter what Ellis and Irene said, and eventually the assistant guild leader appeared from nowhere and took him in.
– Oh ho ho. Please take care of your daughters. Lee Ho-yeon Wizard. Well, darling, come here.
– Wait, honey. I am the guild leader. Hoyeon Lee needs to talk to me! Ugh…
Isaac was dragged out the door, meaningless despite his name as the Emperor of the Night.
The sight was similar to Scarlett being dragged away by an Iris guild member.
As expected, there is definitely something strange about today’s Iris Guild.
“Ruler… Now, shall we have a conversation with wizard Lee Ho-yeon, whom I haven’t seen in a while?”
Elise smiled as she brought her teacup to her mouth.
Now that Dad is gone, it’s time to solve the real problem with Lee Ho-yeon.
“Ellis. It’s too burdensome to call you that too. “Stop it.”
“Huh. My little brother. Since we’re the only ones here now, wouldn’t it be okay to call us comfortably?”
“… What are both? “I can’t even joke?”
Ellis looked at the two and blinked her eyes.
No, to be exact, I saw Irene.
Lee Ho-yeon was originally a frustrating person, so even, it was surprising to see Irene react like that.
“Sister. Whose side are you on? My sister shouldn’t do that.”
“Whose side are you on?” .”
Irene was inwardly embarrassed, avoiding Ellis’ gaze.
This is because she just agreed with Lee Ho-yeon’s words, not Ellis’s.
‘What should I do to Alice who doesn’t hurt even if I put it in her eyes…’ .’
Irene will take Ellis’ side even if she commits murder right in front of her eyes.
“There’s an evil spirit in her head…” . Ugh, ugh.”
It’s clear that the accident was caused by Lee Ho-yeon, whom I haven’t seen in a long time.
Irene poured her tea into her mouth and shook her head.
“Sister… ?”
Lee Ho-yeon, who was watching the confusion of the two sisters closely, calmly drank tea.
After all, these two are also Iris Guild. It doesn’t seem to be normal.
“Still, it’s nice to see you after so long. Ellis, you’ve been in the news a lot these days.”
“… Um, right. I will become the guild leader of the Iris Guild. “I’m putting myself out there where I can.”
Ellis, who was looking at Irene, turned her head again at Lee Ho-yeon’s words.
“Oh… “Are you going to graduate from the academy?”
“Of course. What a good academic background to graduate from Victoria Academy. Are you sure you want to quit?”
Victoria Academy is the world’s leading educational institution.
Just having a diploma proves you are an elite, so there is no need for her to drop out.
“No. “I have no intention of quitting, but the world is making me do that.”
“… ?”
Ellis tilted her head for a moment and then stopped to think.
In the first place, you shouldn’t think deeply about Lee Ho-yeon’s words.
“By the way, you, Lee Ho-yeon. Do you have any plans before the party?”
“Schedule?”
The party is in three days.
There are two days left.
‘Originally, I was going to tour France with Scarlett…’
Before coming to France, I thought Ellis and Irene would be extremely busy.
Scarlett seemed to have a lot to do anyway, so it would be okay to spend a day with them.
“I’m thinking of resting in France. “If there’s anything to do at the Iris Guild, do it.”
“Okay? That’s good. “I just had to let you know about the strong alliance between the Iris Guild and wizard Lee Ho-yeon.”
“What is that?”
“If you follow me, you’ll know.”
Ellis smiled and looked the happiest of the day.
