Solo Swordmaster

Chapter 574

#574. anything will come out

* * *

After withdrawal from Africa.

The peacekeepers were scattered and returned to their respective guilds.

Although most battles were fought by sword masters, war is war.

Especially since living in the harsh climate of Africa, everyone was tired and needed rest.

However, there were people who couldn’t take a break even though they worked the hardest.

this moment.

kneeling on the floor.

The man in the new mask, sweating profusely, was a representative example.

Of course, he’s the Plague Grand Duke.

In this era, as he was a superman who was close to the seat of universal recognition, he was not a person who would have a hard time kneeling for only a few hours.

Even so, there are two reasons why his face is bluish.

One is that none of those present here dare to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

Another was their intimidation.

lungs constrict

heart is beating

blood cools down

I just stare at it without doing anything.

Rather, those gazes weighed down on him more heavily than the weight of a rock, preventing him from getting up.

how much time has passed

The moment he lost his mind.

After a long silence, a gloomy voice was finally heard.

“pascal.”

“Yes Master.”

“I lent you three sword masters…”

“Yes.”

“In addition, he gave me command over the peacekeeping force gathered from the 7 guilds.”

“yes.”

“I even persuaded the other lords to generously support the enormous supplies you requested.”

“yes.”

“But what are these results…?”

“…I have nothing to say.”

“You have nothing to say?”

A woman with dark eyes.

Upon hearing that, Wanderer’s eyes lit up.

“Then you must die.”

Kwajijik!

It was a moment.

Skeletons suddenly sprung up and grabbed him.

What pushed him into the guillotine of bones that appeared in front of him at the same time.

Thus, Pascal did not resist even once, even though he was suddenly strangled by the guillotine.

Instead, he just spoke quietly.

“Give me one more chance.”

“Ask for a chance?”

“yes. Then we will show you the results that will make up for this mistake.”

“I don’t need any losers.”

That moment.

Pascal closed his eyes tightly.

How ruthless your guild master is.

As the deputy guild leader, he was well aware of this outcome because he expected it.

The moment Wanderer tried to speak coldly to him.

A sound rang through the air.

Tiri-ri-ri.

Wanderers, of course.

Other monarchs who were around too.

Even Pascal, who was hanging on the guillotine.

While everyone was looking back at him, the man with the one-eyed glasses who had been staring at him calmly took out his pager.

And after verifying only the sender.

Turned off immediately and said.

“Never mind, keep doing what you are doing. I just got a brief call from the president.”

That would mean chewing up a call from the president, but no one really cared about it.

they are monarchs.

It wasn’t because they weren’t the ones who had to care about the president of one country.

Even more so if the opponent was an idiot who even became a hostage while trying to swindle an existence that even they, the last sword master, could not ignore.

“…I don’t need losers anyway.”

It took a moment to stare at Lee Cheongi with gloomy eyes.

Pascal suddenly came to his senses and said to Wanderer, who looked back at himself and said coldly.

“I am not a failure. I only made a strategic retreat to protect the alliance’s policy, but actually went to the brink of catching the swordsman.”

“What matters is the result.”

“I know. It’s just…”

Tiririri.

“….”

“….”

The silence returned.

In the midst of that, Lee Chun-gi took out his pager again.

After confirming the caller, he calmly got up from his seat and said.

“There is an urgent call, so I will take it for a while. So do what you are doing.”

It seems that it was a lie that even the president contacted me.

While Wanderer and Pascal look at the vacancy of Lee Chun-gi, who left without waiting for an answer.

The golden lord stopped rolling the silver coin with one hand and opened his mouth quietly.

“I guess I should end today’s meeting.”

“….”

“And from next time, be sure to turn off your pager or smartphone during meetings.”

nodding

Wanderer and the other lords who watched him had no choice but to nod their heads in agreement.

* * *

“Can’t reach you?”

“Yes sir.”

“so?”

“yes?”

“If not, is it the end? Go to the Infinity Guild and either beg or threaten them to contact me!”

“…you mean to threaten me? Infinite Lord?”

A face that looks like you’re crazy.

It’s not like I’m looking at the president of a country.

However, as someone who was told to threaten the Absolute, it was a natural reaction.

“That’s what they say!”

Only then did he realize that he had gone too far in his anger.

Han Jeong-guk hurriedly put his words together.

Although he is the president of a country, the Infinite Lord is the owner of the Infinity Guild that controls all player businesses in the country.

If he disobeyed Lee Chun-gi, other members of his party would foam at the mouth.

‘Damn it! Nothing is going right.’

That’s why Han Jeong-guk couldn’t help but resent it even more.

From the swordsman to the swordsman.

As much as he set a historical record of being held hostage in the Blue House by as many as two sword masters.

He knew all too well that against a sword master, ordinary guards would not be of much help.

That’s why I tried to get the Infinite Lord’s cooperation in case of the worst case, but I couldn’t get in touch.

It was knocked down before work even started.

Now, there are two options left.

Are you just enduring humiliation like this?

Or are you just taking the risk?

But the former seemed to be non-existent among them.

As long as you endure humiliation, you can do anything. Because it was the race of politicians to be able to laugh even if they were spit in the face for power.

The problem was that if he continued to be ignored by Limon, his power would become dangerous.

A situation where interest in the sword master has already grown.

In particular, many people were curious about why Limon was in Africa, to the point where a question was even posted on the Blue House bulletin board.

I’m glad I’m just curious

The unemployed, who had some spare time, were working as Internet detectives and digging into the reason.

It is said that there may have been a feud with the government in connection with the Blue House hostage incident.

Of course, there is no basis for that.

It’s just a common conspiracy theory created by connecting a few circumstances without logic or paragraphs.

So, if it was another time, I wouldn’t have cared…

The problem is that the conspiracy theory is true.

‘At that time, Chief Park, I shouldn’t have fallen for that person’s words!’

The Infinite Lord doesn’t like the fact that the hero of the past is still naked.

So if you clean it up, you’ll be very grateful.

There will be huge support from the national level, and maybe even a second term will be possible.

Now that I think about it, it’s all black.

Only empty checks with no real promises.

However, the words of Park Hyeon-gun, who was in charge of Infinity’s internal and external affairs until then, were no different from the Infinite Lord’s will.

At that time, Hanjeongguk had no choice.

If you can get rid of an old man who only makes accidents and win the favor of the monarch who has seized the economy and power.

It was like a multiple-choice question with an answer already written.

either for the national interest.

either for himself or for himself.

‘If this fact is known, I’m done.’

No matter how great a decision it was for the country, the public cannot accept it.

They will criticize the great man who saved the country several times for throwing up, and the opposition party will be excited to pour oil on it.

Still, I could have skipped it if it had been before.

The past is considered a hero of national salvation.

Whether it was 30 years or 70 years ago, the old man who last played an active part starved to death or was imprisoned.

Only a few people are interested in that kind of thing.

It couldn’t have been a big issue, and even if it did, it could have been buried with just a few good news.

But not anymore.

Because interest in the sword master has grown so much.

What if, in this situation, it became known that he was trying to vomit Limon?

What if it turns out that 200 talented people equivalent to high-level players, including two archdukes, were lost in the process?

At worst, impeachment.

I didn’t know if I would end my life as a mere prisoner.

‘I can’t do that!’

Han Jeong-guk gritted it.

He was well aware by now that a sword master might be an absolute being comparable to a monarch.

In particular, he had already keenly felt how dangerous it was to play tricks against Limon.

But what if you die like this and die like that?

I have to go on an adventure.

“What happened to the one you asked me to find earlier?”

“What are you talking about?”

“The swordsmith’s weakness! Since you’ve done it until that age, shouldn’t you come up with something if you search for it?”

That’s why Han Jeong-guk urged the chief of staff.

If you get tired of it, the law of 100% approval

Have you accepted bribes in the past?

Was it bad relationship with women?

committed a crime secretly.

If you find anything that could be Limon’s weakness, you can use it to silence him somehow.

“It’s… nothing special.”

“what?”

“I’ve looked through all the records on swordsmanship, from history books to the annals, but I haven’t found anything that could be called a weakness.”

“What nonsense is that! How many times has that old man assaulted previous kings?”

Han Jeong-guk, who had already investigated the records of the sword master, argued in a fit of rage.

“Of course, there are records where the swordsman assaulted the king or even the crown prince. But all of this was also a problem for the other party…”

Like trying to use Limon for war.

Like getting caught doing something stupid that goes beyond the limit.

Such as causing harm to the people in a power struggle.

Due to the tradition of leaving useless, detailed records, it is at best a mistake on both sides.

Considering that Limon served as a big adult in the royal family, it would be difficult to insist on admonition.

Looking at the chief of staff talking with a troubled face, Han Jeong-guk asked in dismay.

“Then what about bribes? The personal assets that the author accumulated went far beyond trillions, but he must not have obtained it in a legitimate way!”

“It’s true that everything was obtained in a legitimate way.”

“how?!”

“Most of the swordsmith’s wealth was a reward from individuals or countries, or donations from the sword tower in return for the swordsmith’s kindness.”

“So if you look back at the flow of funds, something will come out!”

“I checked and it was the same. It was very clean, probably because it had a duty-free ticket.”

“…You said you lived by accumulating that much wealth?”

“Of course, since I don’t particularly save money, I tend to buy extravagantly…” ”

But?”

“There is so much to give, so it won’t even show. Even during World War II, most of the property was donated to the world for post-war restoration costs.”

“…”

“In addition, about 30 years ago, when property was collected through the Special Tax, Patriot Act, and Superpopular Donation Act, nothing was stolen at all, so it deserves praise.”

“What kind of person…”

Even if he tried all the methods, he could only make tens of billions of hidden wealth.

Of course, he was donated hundreds of times more than that.

In addition, Han Jeong-guk could not help but be stunned by Limon’s actions that he spent generously.

But that’s for a while.

Soon, Han Jeong-guk asked with another hope.

“Then, how about relationships with women? There must have been a lot of women and illegitimate children to say that he was strong even at that age?”
