#147. Are you asking because you don’t know?
* * *
After a long night.
After the ghosts of the liberation brigade were exterminated.
The affiliates of the Black Dragon Clan, including Leviathan, were rather busier than before the raid.
Fix broken lobbies and other facilities, close casualties gaps, prepare new events to get sluggish business back on track, and more.
It was because there were so many things to do as the Seven Dragons group before the Seven Dragons.
Particularly busy was the Guardian.
As I was leading the defense of the affiliate this time, there were many things to deal with and check.
Even in the midst of this, requests to join the Guardian System poured in like a flood from the remaining domestic affiliates as well as affiliates in the mainland.
Wei Ling, the only full-time employee of the Guardian, was on the verge of collapsing from overwork.
In any case, the great thing about her was that she handled most of the work just by working overtime alone.
“…where the hell is this damn representative doing, what the heck is he doing in this situation?”
Of course, throughout the overtime work, he kept pouring out curses at the CEO who was invisible.
Anyway, thanks to their efforts, the affiliates of the Black Dragon Clan were quickly normalized.
To the extent that those who sought to expand their influence by taking advantage of the chaos felt regretful.
But not all subsidiaries were like that.
Because affiliates that suffered too much damage could not normalize on their own, they eventually had to receive Leviathan’s support.
“It’s really unexpected.”
“What do you mean?”
“I didn’t know that the Swordsman would have such a talent for paperwork.”
“…Are you kidding me right now?”
“No, I mean it from the bottom of my heart.”
Limon frowned as he flipped through the stack of papers.
That was why Li Qingyu muttered admiringly at him.
“Because it is impossible even for the masters of the Seven Dragons to process all these documents so quickly.”
“That’s just because your dynamic visual acuity and quick thinking are lagging behind me, and this is a simple sorting job, right?”
“Correction is also a strict paperwork, right?”
“I guess so.”
Limon clicked his tongue as he sorted the messy documents in order of priority and chronology by type and affiliate, and took out duplicate or wrong documents.
Normally, I wouldn’t have handled things like this.
It was because the family members of the former affiliates were working hard to catch up on the raid, so the documents came in haphazardly.
‘It reminds me of the days when I was sorting out paperwork on the battlefield.’
The good news was that no matter how messy the paperwork was, if it went through Limon, it would be sorted out in the blink of an eye.
Of course, it was a really simple task that even a new employee could do.
It was just that the speed was crazy.
With his insane physical ability, he alone organized the paperwork at the speed of 100 new employees, and that alone was enough for Li Qingyu to admire.
Even so, there was one reason why Limon couldn’t accept the compliment straight away.
It was because of Li Qingyu, who was processing the documents he had classified.
“How the hell is your brain structured to process this at that rate?”
“Because I know all the work flow of the Black Dragon Clan. You just have to read the essential parts.”
“Am I the only one who thinks that it is abnormal to understand all the flow of work?”
“It must be because of your mood.”
Seriously, it doesn’t seem like a big deal.
Looking at Li Qingyu, who was checking the wrong part of the document while answering in a casual way, Limon stuck out his tongue.
Wei Ling’s ability to handle business was great, but Li Qingyu’s ability to flip through a mountain of documents with a smile on his face was on a completely different level.
[…why does God want to create such a monster couple to give the world a sense of shame?]
“Even though I’ve killed God, I don’t remember being made by God?”
“Is our ancestor a dragon?”
[yes yes. Of course,
in the eyes of Yun Na-gyeong, an ordinary baby bird, they were both detestable talents.
‘In normal novels, reincarnated people always get great cheating skills and eat everything, but why am I the only one who’s just an ordinary chicken… no blue bird?’
While she was grumbling in her heart, Yuna-kyung flew another bundle of papers by teleportation.
Limon’s pager rang.
[The guest you mentioned before the swordsman has arrived.]
“Hmm? already?”
[yes. It seemed like you were overdoing it, so I put it right in the drawing room.]
“Come on, then let’s go now.”
After being contacted by Youin.
Limon, who got up from his seat, looked back at Li Qingyu.
“What are you going to do, princess?”
“Is it his job?”
“Yes, I think it would be better for you to go too.”
Hearing those words, it took a moment for him to put on a worried expression.
Li Qingyu immediately shook his head.
“I’m OK.”
“Does it matter?”
“Anyway, your business has been sorted out, and all that remains is a simple formal confirmation.”
I have a mountain of things to do, and I don’t have time to waste on such trivial post-processing.
Li Qingyu replied while stamping the documents, then added a word with a smile.
“More than anything else, I think it’s something that the swordsman should finish by himself rather than me.”
“Okay then don’t go.”
[Oh me! I’ll follow you!]
Limon didn’t bother recommending it further.
He just picked up Yuna-kyung, who was flapping his wings, and took a few steps.
The drawing room of Leviathan.
To meet the guests who are waiting for them there.
Uncharacteristically, the reason Limon was helping with the paperwork in the first place was to pass the time until this guest arrived.
“Hey, are you here?”
“There’s nothing going on, so just sit down.”
With a light gesture, Limon stopped the other person who was about to rise from the wheelchair and greet him.
Then, while looking at the other person’s appearance, he opened his mouth.
“That’s what I felt back then, but… Your life is really tough, too. I didn’t know that even a master class master would survive in the midst of that.”
“This is all thanks to the grace of the swordsman.”
“It was a mouthful. Branch Manager Wang knows best that I had no intention of saving you anyway.”
Arms severed from shoulder to elbow.
A bandage that covers half of the face.
There’s even a cast wrapped around his leg.
A middle-aged man with a mustache who was beyond the level of a critically ill patient and looked almost like a living corpse.
Wang Shi-sang smirked at Limon’s words.
“The intention is good. The important thing is that I survived thanks to the swordsmith.”
“Now that flattery is over, let’s get to the point.”
“I understand the deposit.”
No matter how skilled a master is, it is only natural that he will feel extreme pain, both mentally and physically, in this situation.
I don’t seem to feel any pain at all.
The kingpin smiled and nodded.
Then, he opened his mouth in line with the unmanned person who was holding his wheelchair holding out a small box.
“Please accept it.”
“What is this?”
“It is a blood plate that has sworn all the property, shares, and loyalty of our Shanghai royal family.”
[Wow?]
Yuna-kyung was startled.
Even though they are the youngest in the Black Dragon clan, the Shanghai royal family is a prestigious family that has accumulated enormous wealth with hundreds of years of tradition.
Because the behavior of the king functioning to give away the entire property of such a family was the most surprising and embarrassing.
However, Limon was not surprised.
I just quietly opened my mouth.
“Seeing that he even paid all his possessions as a bribe to ask for help, the situation must be pretty bad.”
“Someone has to take responsibility for this.”
“As a scapegoat, your family, who has been in charge of the initial investigation and has suffered great damage without being able to help, is the most suitable, right?”
“This is all self-inflicted.”
If he hadn’t advertised extensively for catching Ryu Kang-cheol, he would have been able to pass it in moderation, but the problem was that he was overzealous.
Take a moment to look at Wang Shikyeong, who smiles and answers.
Limon asked casually.
“Why are you dedicating this to me and not to the princess?”
“Yeah, it’s not a waste to throw away our family to the princess, but it can be a reliable back pocket to the swordsman.”
“In short, you seemed like a hukou who would protect your family diligently, right?”
“Could that be? I’m just asking for a favor, trusting in the fairness of the swordsman.”
“It must be said by believing in poverty, not fairness and justice.”
Limon laughed.
After repelling the attack of the liberation brigade.
Li Qingyu’s position among the Black Dragon Clan has changed greatly.
As if it was a lie to ignore her as a foolish princess who had ruined her family until now, I was trying to catch her eye with all my means.
Limon, on the other hand, was a little different.
As before, the gazes that look down on him have greatly decreased, but instead, there are more people who are wary and keep their distance.
Unlike Li Qingyu, their princess from the start, Li Mon is an enemy of the Seven Dragons.
No matter how much he played a big role in protecting the Black Dragon clan this time, he was an opponent who could not be trusted even though he was in awe of his power.
In that respect, Wang’s proposal was quite attractive.
The Shanghai royal family is a prestigious family.
If they were all taken, Limon would have the power to use them like limbs.
“In a situation like this, finding someone who will buy a ruined family at the most expensive price is amazing.”
“Originally, it is said that our family became a prestigious family by surprise.”
Wang Shi-sik smiled as if he understood the words with consent.
Limon said calmly to him.
“There is nothing to be happy about. I only acknowledged your notice, but I never said I would accept your humble offer.”
“…what do you mean?”
“Are you asking because you don’t know, or do you want to know?”
Maybe it was because the answer was so unexpected.
As if doubting one’s own ears.
To make it easy to understand the king’s ability to make a strange expression, Limon showed it in action.
“It means you don’t need any of this.”
“…!”
squeak.
Right after Limon’s sword cut through the air,
the ship split left and right and fell to the floor, and the king’s function hardened.
Limon’s action of slashing away all of the Shanghai royal family without hesitation made the smile disappear from the face of Wang Fengsong, who was smirking even in the face of death.
“…can you hear the reason?”
“It’s not that great of a reason. It’s just that there are people out there who are smarter than you.”
With Limon’s low answer, the moment the door of the parlor opened and a masked man appeared.
Wang Feng Shui involuntarily swallowed a groan.
The warrior who was accompanying him did not even give his instructions, but it was not because he quietly left the parlor as if he were taking turns with a masked man.
An object the masked person is holding.
A ship that looked just like the one Limon had just cut down, but was several times larger, froze him.
Limon accepted Ham with one hand so that such a royal function could be seen well.
And unlike the light ham he had cut down, he placed the heavy ham on his lap and tapped it with his fingers and opened his mouth quietly.
“The royal function. What kind of arrogance is it to think of me as a hukou and still try to use me after suffering that situation?”
