Ch 22
Episode 21 – Promise.
The crowd stirred at Kim Jae-ju’s cold judgment.
“Ahhh!”
The soldiers shut Sloane’s mouth shut.
Sloane’s face turned red as if about to explode.
“Please be quiet.”
Just as the scribe is about to ring the bell again,
“quiet.”
Radiac’s voice, lower than the bell, came out.
Then they all closed their mouths as if they had promised, and straightened their backs.
-Is this Pavlov’s dry reflex?
-Gun-Jo
-Sung-ji
– You guys are getting so angry;
-Ah, the drama is about to end.
“I felt there was nothing wrong with the interrogator’s verdict, but what about you?”
“There is not!”
“That’s a good judgement.”
Kane and the Marquis Krauts replied that they were fighting each other.
-Kruz line change on
-If I were to live my life again, I would be born as Krauz.
– With hair?
– Ah… ah…
– It’s over the line.
“Okay. Then I will give you the final verdict. As soon as the trial is over, tie 1st Prince Sloane de Toprax to a horse and make him sweep the entire empire. Add to that.”
Radiac’s cold eyes and words didn’t show any affection for his son.
“After beheading the corpse, hang it on the highest point of every city’s castle for a month.”
It makes me think that no one is the father of a son, but a dignified emperor.
“To make everyone know that they are equal under the laws of the Empire. Ideal.”
After that, everything seemed to be going smoothly.
Sloane is dragged away crying.
Lee Seon-jae leads the Sloan with a restless expression on the orders of Radiac.
The crowd stroking their necks looking at such a Sloan.
Finally.
“Your Majesty, since the trial is over, may the 2nd Prince Caoli de Toprax, not the interrogator, speak?”
If it wasn’t for Kim Jae-joo, who laid all the plates for this moment.
Radiac, who was about to get up, leaned back on his chair.
“Is it about the trial?”
“no.”
“Is this what you have to say anyway?”
“That’s right.”
-Part 2 on
– Gazzaa
“·········Listen to me.”
The crowd, who were paying attention to Radiak’s eyes at Jaejoo Kim’s sudden remark, sat down again.
Looking straight into Radiac’s eyes, Jaejoo Kim cleared his breathing.
Feeling his faint heartbeat, he opened his mouth.
“first.”
Jaejoo Kim looked around and bowed his head in manners.
“It is not a story related to the trial. Please understand.”
An uncomfortable cough broke out from some of the crowd, but that was all.
I realized that the cubs of beasts are also beasts.
“Nevertheless, the reason I said this is because all of you who move the Empire are here.”
“therefore?”
“I dare say to the Emperor. All the gods of the world of Astro are looking down, and I beg you to become the sun of the empire from which the name Astro has come. Please grant me permission.”
Jaejoo Kim did not bend his back.
I just stare at Radiac proudly.
The crowd, well aware of the emperor’s madness, stopped thinking about Kim Jae-ju’s arrogant remarks.
As if he didn’t really understand what he was saying, he just thought about his words endlessly.
In a way, Radiac looked at Jaejoo Kim’s arrogant gaze for a moment.
“······ha ha ha!”
burst into laughter.
“It’s really fun.”
The crowd, who had been silently listening to the sound of laughter, trembled at the sound of the emperor’s cut off laughter.
“Kaoli de Toprax.”
“Yes.”
“Your words are neither convincing nor justified.”
“I know.”
“But for the first time in my life.”
Radiak came down from the table with an expressionless face and stood in front of Jaejoo Kim.
“It was my favorite remark.”
He straightened out Kim Jae-joo’s clothes that were messed up during the interrogation with Sloane.
Finally, with his collar upright and his shoulder tuk-tuk, Radiak passed Kim Jae-joo and stood close to the crowd.
“I feel sorry for you guys. I didn’t expect to be able to say these words in a place like this.”
– Are you going?
– Are you going?
-Gazuaa
“I’m going to give you a yellow name.”
in just that one word.
Everyone who was sitting came to the side and knelt down on one knee.
Looking down at them, who filled the dense floor, Radiac opened his mouth.
“The Emperor of the Astrod Empire, Radiac de Toprax gives the last order. I, Radiac, lay down my throne from now on.”
Radiac turned and looked at Jaejoo Kim.
“I’ll leave the vacant seat to the second prince, Caoli de Toprax. Anyone who has any complaints, let them know.”
“I’ll just accept it!”
Jaejoo Kim calmly met those eyes, and quietly lowered his head.
– Spray our talent ASTROAD ㅠㅠ Spray Top ㅠㅠ
-King God General Emperor Chungmugong Majesty Ultra Fantastic God Talent
Kim Jae-joo raised his head again and saw what he saw.
Everything was still on the screen.
As if all these things are fake.
As if it was just a joke.
Like a mirage, the whole landscape was distorted and scattered into dust.
“·········ah.”
The voice that came out of Kim Jae-joo’s mouth, which opened his mouth blankly, was no longer a voice.
how long has it been
Kim Jae-joo’s mouth was opened in a place where nothing but pure white space was left.
“·········manager?”
[Was the ordeal on the 5th floor fun?]
As if all of this was nothing, a hologram window appeared playfully.
“More than that, I’d like to ask why you’re such a savvy person.”
[I came to hear if I can keep my promise.]
“You are the answer. I’ll do the same. I don’t think I can keep it.”
The message on the hologram window flickered for a moment, creating a blank space.
[The reason is?]
“Kim Jae-joo and I in the video are two different people.”
[Are you saying you are not the person you are in the video?]
“In a nutshell, no.”
[Waiting on the 10th floor.]
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
Top 50 floors. free area.
It’s been a while since the ordeal made the video useless.
-[User ‘Iron jjjjjjjjangman’ has entered.]
– What’s here?
– Why did you turn it on when you don’t even climb? broadcast?
– I don’t know.
– If you don’t know, you have to go.
– Chief! Limit walk!
“Wait.”
-[User ‘Iron jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj left’]
-[Users below the 70th floor cannot enter from now on.]
“Okay?”
-Pyeon-An
– not; What do you do by walking with a limit of only 70 ㅡㅡ You have to walk 80
-It’s a little;
-I came here pretending to be on the 90th floor lol
“Drip is prohibited.”
-Jaejoo Kim I’m tired of hearing so many drips lol
– The one who likes you inside and out…
-I’ve been seeing since the days of Popoy. It’s a success story for the establishment of the country.
– bragging
-Ah, it’s a memory. I really miss the days of Gimpago.
– There are quite a lot of uncles here; Talking only with each other
-,,,,,,,,,, in my 20’s,,,, I’m a young man,,,, my peers,, Popoi,,, I know,,,
– I’m bored, can you wake up Popoy?
“Yes. No.”
-uh. no?
-If you twist it, let’s go to the next floor.
“Yes. Anyone who says a word from now on will be sent off.”
There was no movement as if the chat window was broken at those words.
“I don’t know why people who are fine when they meet are like this.”
Jaejoo Kim sighed and got up from the bed.
I searched the message box that appeared on the hologram window.
[Unacknowledged Received Messages: 52191]
[User Block List: 2059]
[Incoming messages from unidentified friends: 12]
Jaejoo Kim tossed away the rest of the list and left the house, leaving only his friend’s message box.
[Friends Received Message: 13][NEW]
[Are you sure you want to?]
[Y/N]
Jaejoo Kim opened his eyes on the pavement and checked the message.
[User: Han Se-ah]
[Content: Are you coming now? I’m really sorry if I called you while you were sleeping. I have contacted you this way out of anxiety because I have not yet received a confirmation.]
[Reply: Yes. going now.]
After not walking ten steps, a new message arrived.
[Content: Thank you very much. I will wait for you on the terrace of the cafe I mentioned earlier.]
It was dark outside, and only the dim light of street lamps dimly lit the road.
As we entered the downtown area past the residential area that reminds us of the earth, colorful neon signboard lights stabbed Kim Jae-joo’s eyes.
[The place praised by Sloane de Toprax, the emperor of Astrod!]
[We invite you to the secret world of night.]
[White Fox Ball]
Obviously, the sign was somehow foreign.
In this place where Earth and Astrod mix, the manager’s mischief is at its peak.
-Ahh; I can’t stand it The most disgusting thing in the world on the 50th floor is seeing that sloan sucking ad.
-[User ‘Growd Zero’ has left.]
“········ I did not leave you.”
-lol
-haha
-Ha ha ha
-yep
-It’s a feature of the 50th floor, what should I do?
After a while, I saw a cafe with a quiet atmosphere.
A woman in a semi-suit, sitting alone on the terrace there, saw this and jumped up.
His long black hair was a strikingly neat impression.
“You really have come.”
“Come.”
“Yes. Thank you again. It’s the first time I’ve greeted you face to face like this. This is Se-ah Han.”
“Jaejoo Kim.”
Jaejoo Kim sighed and sat down.
Even after seeing the scene, Se-ah Han opened her mouth first as she sat across from her eyes twinkling like a puppy who found a snack.
“Can I do anything for you?”
“It’s not necessary. Just tell me the main point quickly.”
“······yes.”
– lol?
“Wait.”
-[User ‘Gaeyou’ has left the job.]
“Tell me. By the way, if you turn the horse around, it will just go away.”
“Well, that’s… you may feel that our clan lacks a lot, but please, just once, with generosity-”
“Don’t even add strange conjunctions.”
“B, yes!”
“So?”
“If you come to our clan, we promise to give you the best treatment that is second to none, and to put Kim Jae-joo first for all support. It’s a request, so can I worry about it?”
“It’s bad.”
Jaejoo Kim replied with a confused expression.
“········ As expected, can’t it be like this?”
“No, it’s not that, the conditions aren’t very appealing.”
“Then what kind of…? There is a limit to the coins we can support-”
“No. Not that.”
Jaejoo Kim sighed and leaned forward as if getting up from his seat.
Then she looked into Han Se-ah’s eyes and opened her mouth.
“If I tell you to fight the manager, can you fight it?”
Han Se-ah’s mouth opened blankly.
“·········yes?”
“If you can, I’ll go up with you. You know a lot of Awakened people who went out with my help, right?”
The corners of Kim Jae-joo’s lips went up.
It was a playful smile that looked like someone else.
“No, of course! That reputation is familiar—”
“No, that’s why I’m going to do it. I won’t.”
“Well, you should think about it first.”
“leaving out.”
“yes?”
“It’s a dropout. Go.”
Han Se-ah’s eyes fluttered.
“What do you think you will do first when I clear the top?”
“Well······.”.
“I’m going to find those who didn’t keep their promises first, so are you sure about those baseless remarks?”
Han Se-ah’s complexion turned white.
“Sin, I’m sorry! I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
She hurriedly got up and ran away from her seat.
-lol
-haha
-Ha ha ha
– lol
-uh? what about me?
-Stop it please;
“Just be quiet.”
– I don’t like it, don’t you?
– If you twist… you know?
