Episode 229
Seven Star Council (5)
“haha… You two were lovers. This is an insult.”
Namgunghwi scratched his neck nervously with an awkward smile.
The nape of his neck, which had been scratched by his nails, turned red.
Namgung-hwi, who was glaring at Oh-jin with scorching eyes, opened his mouth as if squeezing it.
“Then I hope you two can enjoy the party comfortably.”
Namgung-hwi, who hastily turned around, walked away as if he was running away.
As he returned to his seat, he glanced back at Ha-eun, who was sitting on Oh-jin’s thigh.
wow.
The sound of Namgunghwi sharply grinding his teeth could be heard from far away.
Oh-jin burst out laughing and put her hand around Ha-eun’s waist, which was sitting on her thigh.
“Did you see that I fell in love with my sister?”
“Fufu. Isn’t this the beauty this older sister did?”
He said with a smirk, his hair tied in a ponytail.
“Ugh.”
“My lord.”
Ha-eun giggled and added strength to the arm that hugged Oh-jin’s neck.
Since it was a very revealing party dress, the soft texture was vividly transmitted to all parts of the body.
“Are the clothes pretty?”
“… It’s too revealing.”
“Isn’t that better?”
“It’s good to see only me.”
Ojin took off his coat and draped it over her shoulder.
Ha-eun covered her body with Oh-jin’s cloak and smiled mischievously.
He whispered in a low voice, putting his lips close to his ear.
“Yes. I will only show it to Ojini.”
“… … .”
I am well aware that the lines are shriveling up to the point where my hands and feet are shriveled, but why is the corner of my lips raised like this?
Ha-eun giggled and stroked Oh-jin’s head, then frowned and looked at the empty table.
“By the way, did you really eat them all?”
“Of course I got it.”
Oh-Jin presented the food that had been hidden in illusions to her.
It was still stinging because the temperature was maintained through a faint electromagnetic wave.
“When did you learn this talent again?”
Ha-eun exhaled in shock as if she was surprised, came down from her thigh and sat down next to her.
“Cut.”
“No, eat this on your own.”
“Uh-huh. Won’t you listen to my sister?”
Haeun opened her mouth like a baby bird waiting for food.
Oh-jin laughed and cut the steak and put it in her mouth.
“Hehe. Delicious.”
“Eat slowly.”
Ha-eun hugged Oh-jin’s arm and rubbed her cheek on his shoulder as if a cat was showing affection.
“… … .”
A manager, who was right next to him, was observing the love affair that was so painful that he couldn’t even open his eyes and swallowed the tears that flowed down with a deep sigh.
“It’s sad, it’s sad… Yeah, it’s a sin that I’ve never been in a relationship at this age, it’s a sin.”
It was a particularly lonely night today.
* * *
next day.
After breakfast, Oh Jin met with a manager and asked about today’s schedule.
“You mean we can go to the meeting room on the 50th floor by 12:30?”
“Yes. That’s how it was delivered.”
Director Han said as he handed over the schedule handed over to the parliament.
It was written in Chinese, so I couldn’t tell what was written there.
“Did you learn Chinese separately?”
“Yes. If you use relics, you can interpret, but you cannot read and write. Besides Chinese, I can also speak English, Japanese, and a little Russian.”
“Oh oh.”
Oh Jin looked at the manager with a surprised expression.
The muscles that swelled up as if they were about to jump out of the shirt at any moment, the well-burned copper-colored skin, and the face that resembled a gorilla.
It’s not far from intellectual, so it looks like a different dimension, but it’s said that he was able to speak more than 5 languages.
“… Why are you looking at me with those eyes?”
“No, nothing.”
“Hey, he’s quite an elite from that point on, an elite!”
“haha. I know.”
In his mid-30s, he not only assumed the position of manager, but also received the full trust of Han Tae-ho, the president of the association.
In fact, it was one general manager who was not an ordinary elite among the elite.
“Oh, and this time I became a 7 star.”
A manager proudly said, pounding his left chest.
“Oh, congratulations, boss.”
“… It feels a little strange to hear from Oh Jin-san.”
Manager Han sighed and remembered the first time he and Oh Jin had met.
“Oh Jin, who was a 2 star at the time, has become an 8 star, but now it is a 7 star.”
“What is that… .”
“I know. Oh Jin-san is a nonsensical case.”
To be honest, the growth rate was unbelievable even when I saw it with my own eyes.
Oh Jin smiled bitterly and nodded his head.
‘It doesn’t really make sense to think like this.’
He could understand why other candidates looked envious of him.
“Probably no one has grown as fast as Oh Jin, except for Nokzonseong.”
Director Han shook his head and took the schedule that he had given to Oh Jin again.
Oh Jin turned his head and checked the electronic clock on the wall.
The time is 11:23.
We still have about an hour left until the meeting.
“Do you know anything about the other participants?”
“What… First of all, I know a few Awoken who are considered strong candidates.”
Director Han continued the conversation by showing photos of the awakened people who participated as candidates on his smartphone.
“First of all, Nam Gung-hwi, who appeared as the representative yesterday. As the title of the wind god, he is famous for handling the wind freely.”
“It’s the same Leo, but his fighting style is quite different from Lee Woo-hyuk.”
Apparently Lee Woo-hyuk used a sword.
“Well, the core of a Leo is not a weapon, but the ability to handle the wind itself.”
Even if the stigmata were the same, each Awakened person used the stigma in different ways.
“The next strong candidate is… This is Iron Fist from the United States, and Jason Hardy called ‘Iron Fist’ in Asia. He’s not a 10-star like Namgung-hwi, but he’s a pretty good 9-star awakener.”
“Is Nam Gung-Hwi alone among the participants?”
“Yes.”
A manager nodded and continued.
“There are very few Awakened people of 10 or higher… Even if there is, most of them are reluctant to apply for Chilsung.”
“but. Even if you become a Seven Star, there is not much you can gain.”
As the Seven Stars, you can gain enormous honor and power, but in return, restrictions on your actions come with it.
If you are an awakened person who is reluctant to uphold the hope and hero of mankind, it would be natural to be reluctant to apply to Chilsung in the first place.
‘I was the only one who tried to refuse at first.’
If it wasn’t for finding a way to grow Heukcheon, I wouldn’t have even thought of becoming a Seven Star.
‘Then, among those who are not Awakened, there are Awakenings of the Seven Stars.’
First of all, there wasn’t much information about that kind of Awoken because they are reluctant to be exposed.
“In addition to Jason Hardy, Orlando Bale, who competed in England, is also known as one of the best Sagittarius Awoken.”
“As expected, there are strong candidates from the US, China and the UK.”
“What… That’s unavoidable.”
The manager smiled bitterly and nodded his head.
China, the country with the highest number of Awoken, and the United States, with the highest number of High Awakens alone. And even the UK, which has the most seven stars, including Allen Oscar in Nogok Castle, Rebecca Bell in Nokzon Castle, and Bianca Bennett in Jade Castle.
Of course, to use the expression that the state ‘haves’, there are only a handful of awakened people who are full of patriotism.
Still, at least there are many awakened people who do not want to see the country where they were born and raised by monsters and destroyed, so the national power of the country was supposed to rise.
‘In a world where monsters run rampant, safety is the national strength.’
Well, anyway.
“You can only know your skills exactly when the competition starts.”
“I believe that Oh Jin has enough qualities to become the Seven Stars.”
Oh-jin burst into laughter at the eyes of a manager who was sincere, not pretentious.
“It should be.”
Without the Seven Stars, there is no way to set foot in the fountains of the Milky Way.
“The time has come.”
“Oh, yes. Please be careful.”
As I was talking with a manager, 12:30 was getting closer.
Oh Jin said goodbye to a manager and went up to the 50th floor.
‘Is that over there?’
When I tried to enter the conference room looking at the guide on the wall.
“You cannot enter now.”
A rice cake stand came and blocked the entrance to the conference room.
“… Can’t you come in?”
“Competition Rules and Schedule The meeting has already started at 12:00. We cannot let you in in the middle of the meeting.”
What the fuck are you talking about?
“I was told the meeting would start at 12:30.”
“There must have been some misunderstanding. The meeting starts at 12:00.”
A man with a square jaw and a reliable build shook his head with a determined expression.
“… … .”
As Oh Jin continued to think about what kind of dog-like situation this was, he noticed the Shanghai Tower pattern engraved on the chest of the bodyguards’ suits.
“Was it Wei, are you working for him?”
“Wei is the sponsor who gave the most support to make this Chilsung Assembly a success. Naturally, we are also supporting the council to run smoothly under Wei.”
Ah.
So that’s how it happened.
‘I gave you the wrong schedule from the beginning, right?’
A smirk came out of Jin’s mouth.
Yesterday as well, he said it out loud in front of people, and I’m sure he’ll even do cute things like this.
‘This must also be Namgunghwi’s instructions.’
The fact that Nam Gung-hwi and Wei, a supporter of the Chilsung Assembly, were related yesterday was something I had expected since yesterday when they lost their money in debt.
“So you’re saying you won’t let me in now? Candidates have arrived?”
“sorry. I will send you the schedule of the competition from the meeting later.”
The square-jawed man shook his head with a hard expression like a wooden stone.
“Sigh.”
Oh Jin sighed deeply and shook his head.
“Let’s see… .”
I folded my fingers one by one.
One, two, three.
“Yes.”
No matter how I look at it, I think it’s been over three times.
“Now what… .”
“Exceed.”
Gripping support!!
He kicked the stomach of the man who blocked the door, causing a thunderbolt all over his body.
“Kuh-uh-oh!”
The man’s body bounced off like a cannonball and smashed the door and fell into the conference room.
“What, what?”
“Aww!”
“Suddenly what… .”
A conference room engulfed in commotion.
Oh-jin walked through the smashed door and entered the conference room at a leisurely pace.
A long table with 28 seats.
I walked to an empty seat and pulled up a chair.
“Is this my place?”
A chilly silence fell in the bustling conference room.
