Ch 155
The Hummingbird was definitely a good gun.
It was ‘special’ grade, so it had 1.5 times better performance than a ‘normal’ grade item, additionally, the condition for using matched Leeha’s stats.
However, it was too hard to aim! When it came to aiming, Hummingbird
could be considered worse than Needle Gun.
In other words, what Leeha considered as a secret weapon was [Black Bess]. It meant that it was the worst match for Miss Elizabeth’s will quest.
‘If I buy Needle Gun again, I won’t be satisfied with its attack power. More importantly, shooting Agromni Igor with needle gun wouldn’t leave any damage. It means I have to use Hummingbird…. With this gun……’
There was no way he could find a weapon that had overwhelming attack power and accuracy at the same time. This was Middle Earth.
There were a lot of troubles all over the place, but it was not like his skills as a ‘sniper’ would suddenly disappear. Meanwhile, the forearm of a High Orc exploded.
Another bullet followed and pierced its side and it died. Of course, Leeha was not satisfied.
He continued hunting in Kunigo Hill to raise the level of Eagle Eyes, Delicate Hand Movement,
Calm mind, and Snipe.
Even if the war break out, it would take some time for a large-scale decisive battle to happen.
Even though he was impatient he did not rush, since Leeha had a way to get to the battlefield.
‘I am not able to see Kijeong’s location but it’s okay.’
It was fortune from misfortune. There were other members of Byeolcho guild that remained on his friend’s list. Hyein and Sasuke.
Leeha focused on that point.
It was a good thing that these two people did not delete him as a friend.
Kijeong would be at the location of guild master Hyein.
‘In other words, it will be the most intense battlefield, and the location where the fiercest battle takes place……
Agromni Igor will go there.
Until then, there was only one thing he had to do.
[You leveled up.]
‘I am now 95. I have to be fast……!’
He had to raise his level, but despite his busy hand movement, questions rose from Leeha’s mind.
Judging from Ram Hwayeon’s words, it’s clear that she was not aware of Kijeong. No, it seems like she didn’t really care about Kijeong in the first place.
‘There’s already a traitor in Byeolcho, she didn’t care about the war.’ Because she was certain of victory.
‘Then who was the one who tailed them?’ 수도 아엘스톡에서 기정과 이하
The person who followed them when Kijeong and Leeha met.
Something suddenly came to Leeha’s mind.
‘Was he really a member of Hwahong?’
Did he mean to expose his guild mark so clearly? The bastard who followed them? He doesn’t even know the basics….
No, before that. Was that Hwahong’s guild mark?
“Phew, I’m losing my mind.”
No matter how much he thought about it, it was not something he could resolve immediately. For now, he had no choice but to focus on the high orcs in his sight.
Baaang—!
“So…… you didn’t know this?”
“I really didn’t know…”
It was different from last time. The safe house did not have any guild members, only Sasuke, Hyein, Kijeong, and Tale were there.
“That’s right, guild master. That bastard- I didn’t know he would use Kay…”
Tale was furious. And disappointed.
He was freely expressing what he felt of Leeha.
However, Kijeong still had his head bowed and couldn’t think of anything else.
Why? Why? When?
He could not organize his chaotic mind. When he thought Leeha betrayed him, as Hyein and Sasuke said, it seemed suspicious that he could win 3 times.
“What should I do Sasuke?” In the end, they didn’t even bring anything- no, they brought evidence. Solid evidence that the marksman bastard is a traitor.”
“In principle, you could kick Kijeong out, and send notice to all guild members, not only of Byeolcho, but also Dragon Knights and Seomgwang, that he is a traitor so that other guilds could see-”
“Sasuke, that’s too harsh. Ha Leeha that bastard is the traitor, but Kay and I-”
“You should be aware that we would not be able to help Tale-hyungnim even if we want to.”
Sasuke bowed his head slightly and interrupted Tale’s words.
Right. It was obviously what Kijeong and Tale said.
They were prepared to take responsibility and that they were going to get evidence that Leeha did not betray them.
“2.6 billion. No, leaving the money issue, how will you take responsibility for losing the trust of our guild members? Tale-hyungnim, please stay quiet if you don’t have any solution.”
Hyein, who watched Sasuke and Tale fight, opened his mouth. Phew, he made a long sigh that expressed his feelings.
“Responsibility…”
“Right, Kay. Responsibility. Tale-nim, I believed in you. Actually, you did nothing wrong. So what are you going to do Kay? This is because of you! This incident is caused by the hyung you brought. What are you going to do?”
“I will take responsibility.”
Kijeong still didn’t raise his head. However, it was different from before. His body trembled.
“What? How? Are you going to pay back 2.6 billion?”
“Even so…… you haven’t lost yet
Hyein-hyungnim.”
“Then?”
“Even if it costs my life, I will solve the Dale Castle case.” Kijeong finally raised his head. There was only one emotion left in his face, with the other five now gone.
Anger. Anger that burned brightly.
While Tale was impressed with Kijeong’s words, Hyein made a serious expression.
“That’s not going to work, would it? Hey, giving up your life in Middle Earth
What’s the weight of that? It would be nice if we won, but what if we don’t? 2.6 billion would be gone!”
Money, money, money! The only thing that came out of Hyein’s mouth was money.
Tale was surprised that the guild master he liked a lot had such a personality, but Kijeong was not surprised.
“I will take responsibility for that as well.”
“How?”
“If we lose Dale Castle, even if we use a [Contract] I will
……. somehow……. no matter how long it takes……
“Really?”
“Yes.”
The corner of Hyein’s lips rose slightly, but Kijeong did not see it.
“Okay, then, you should make it clear to the guild members that you are not a traitor. Sasuke! Bring the contract.”
“Guild master!”
Tale screamed.
“Why…… Why are you like this Tale-hyungnim?”
“That’s too much. Kay
is a victim as well. We should hold the marksman responsible, why is Kay responsible? In addition, Dale Castle’s donations, which I also invested in, are our personal responsibility. Why is Kay responsible for that? Most importantly…… Didn’t the guild master invest the most?! You won’t be able to protect Kay”
Hyein flinched at Tale’s remark, but soon his expression turned ferocious.
“He said he would take responsibility, so why is Tale-hyungnim stepping up? That’s right, I said that the investment was everyone’s responsibility, but that’s only in the case of fair investment! There’s a traitor inside, making sure that we lose our money, so what should we do? Will you fill it up?”
“T-that-”
For an individual 2.6 billion was a lot of money. It was the same even for a fairly high level in Middle Earth.
If one hit a jackpot occasionally, it would only be 10 million Won. Not even 100 million, but 26 times that number.
“I’m not doing it for money either! But our guild members don’t believe in Kay! So what should we do? Take responsibility!”
It was the guild master’s responsibility to solve such a situation.
It’s the role of the guild master to convince his guild members to believe in Kay and give him a chance to play an active part in this battle.
But Tale couldn’t speak anymore.
Hyein’s eyes, which were so wide while holding onto the [Contract], were not those of, Sage Hyein, whom Tale was attracted to.
‘I didn’t have the eyes to see people…’
As a martial artist, he thought he had the ability to examine people’s minds and bodies.
Ha Leeha was a traitor, Hyein was blinded by money, and Kay, who he trusted, could only get swayed helplessly.
All the people Tale chose and trusted, acted differently from Tale’s expectations.
“Sign in, Kay.”
Sasuke took the contract and handed it to Kay. When Kijeong looked at the contract with blank eyes, Hyein spoke.
“Don’t worry too much, Kay. Can I make you responsible for 2.6 billion? I don’t want to lose this war as well.”
“What?”
“We are preparing a surprise, so don’t worry to much. This contract is used to convince our guild members.”
The guild master, whose eyes had glistened before, disappeared again.
Seeing Hyein’s warm and kindly smile, Kijeong could keep his thoughts any longer.
Right, Hyein was such a person. He was sure he would do something.
“All right. Hyungnim.”
Scribble, scribble, scribble.
Kay signed the contract.
