You Will Be Blessed If You Do Good Deeds¿ - Chapter 180
Han Jae-young, who entered the guild masterâs office wearing a black suit, let out a heavy sigh.
I sprinkled salt on Han Jae-youngâs back. Han Jae-young frowned.
âWhat is it?â
âHe might be possessed by a ghost, so we should sprinkle salt on him.â
âItâs a superstition.â
âYou shouldnât look down on a wizard and say heâs a superstitious person.â
Even if itâs a superstition that people talk about a lot, itâs bound to gain power.
After all, the most influential people in this world are humans, and what those humans say to the world is what they say.
Han Jae-young looked at the salt-sprinkled floor and made a disgusted expression.
âIâm not a wizard, but a fairy⦠⦠.â
âWhat are you talking about when youâre the guild master of a place full of humans?â
âHmm⦠⦠Thatâs true. I canât get used to going to a funeral home no matter when.â
Han Jae-young loosened his tie roughly and sank deep into the sofa.
I sat on the single recliner sofa that I had insisted on keeping for myself and looked at the scene.
âWhat was the atmosphere like at the funeral?â
âIt was very strange. There were few mourners, many reporters, and the chief mourner was drinking heavily. The only chief mourner was my father⦠⦠.â
I was referring to the funeral that Han Jae-young had visited, of course, and Lee Woon-gyeolâs funeral.
In fact, the atmosphere at a funeral where a child dies before his parents is bound to be miserable.
What would happen if Lee Woon-gyeol was a promising A-class hunter and the son of a wealthy family?
âEveryone was gossiping about Nam Sung-hee.â
Even if it was none other than his mother, Nam Sung-hee, who killed Lee Woon-gyeol.
Everyone was speechless in front of the chief mourner who was left alone, but they started gossiping after leaving the funeral.
It was natural for reporters to rush over.
âOf course, itâs still in the investigation stage so it hasnât been announced yet⦠⦠Actually, itâs surprising that this hasnât become an issue.â
âNam Sung-heeâs family must have gotten involved.â
Han Jae-young shrugged.
âYes, I heard a bit about the prosecutionâs investigation, and Nam Sung-heeâs family brought up the fact that he had been regularly visiting a psychiatrist.â
As I had predicted, Nam Sung-hee was getting away with it quite well.
âAfter all, Lee Woon-gyeol has been causing a lot of accidents.â
Lee Woon-gyeol, his son.
The fact that he looked good on the outside but wasnât really good on the inside played a part.
From school violence to drunk driving after becoming an adult, minor assaults on lower-level hunters, and bullying situations.
Since his image in the media had been good, the media was busy tearing Lee Woon-gyeol down.
âA-class Hunterâs Star, the Tragic Reality Revealedâ, âA-class Hunter Who Was Successful Turns Out to Be a Scammerâ, etc.
Lee Woon-gyeol, who passed away a few days ago, was once again criticized by the media.
âWhen will they take money and promote it without verification?â
The media is making a fuss about being fooled, but if we really look at it, isnât it also the mediaâs fault for taking money and broadcasting it without verification?
Well, in a capitalist society where money is everything, we already knew that they take money and write articles, so there was no need to feel disillusioned again.
In any case, it could be that the current criticism of Lee Woon-gyeolâs moral flaws was also done at Nam Sung-heeâs behest.
Itâs really funny.
Itâs good to focus on mental health and consider sins as a social development, but in the end, it seems more useful for reducing the punishment of those in power.
Well, thatâs how it is with human affairs.
In this way, since Lee Woon-gyeol was a morally wrong person, Nam Sung-hee, the mother who couldnât stand it anymore, accidentally committed a crime⦠⦠.
If we write a scenario like that, Nam Sung-heeâs punishment will be considerably lighter.
Even so, in our countryâs sentiment, there are many elements that are unpleasant in many ways, such as a âmotherâ killing her âsonâ.
Thatâs not my concern anymore.
I just have to take my share of the harvest.
âItâs a shame that I couldnât kill him, but since I safely retrieved Nam Sung-heeâs memories, the harvest isnât bad.â
After making Nam Sung-hee almost dead, I searched through his memories thoroughly.
Of course, it wasnât because I had voyeurism, but because I wanted to get a clue about Orbis.
Unfortunately, Orbis seemed to be quite cautious this time.
No matter how much I searched Nam Sung-heeâs memories, there was no trace left.
Also, since it was a memory that was forcibly opened and entered the subconscious without consent, it didnât remain unless it was quite intense.
So in the end, all I could read was Nam Sung-heeâs memory of when he first met Theodora Yovanovic.
Still, this was a big harvest in its own way.
âIâve secured Theo Yovanovicâs facial appearance.â
I had Leila and James search for Theoâs whereabouts regardless of whether it was sunny or dark.
In particular, James promised that no matter how vast Europe was, he would mobilize all his connections and bring about results within two weeks, so weâll have to wait and see.
Also, it would be interesting to see where the surviving Nam Sung-hee comes into contact with.
âThatâs right.â
Han Jae-young, who had changed from his uncomfortable suit to his usual comfortable clothes, asked me.
âIâve been wondering since a while ago, is that a new group?â
âThatâs it.â
âKkiyaang!â
The baby white lion, who had been trembling with his face buried in my arms, let out a small cry as if protesting.
Of course, he didnât think of sticking his head out of my arms because he was scared of Han Jae-young.
Han Jae-young looked at the white lion in his arms as if he found it strange.
âThe other kids seem to be pretty smart⦠⦠Did you make it not long ago?â
âIt matured a bit slowly.â
âHmm⦠⦠It probably wonât be of much help, so why donât you keep it at home?â
He was generous with plants, but since it was my âsubordinateâ, he was strangely merciless in his words.
I shrugged.
âAs you can see, itâs so immature that I canât leave it alone. Itâs fine when Jeong Da-jeong is at home, but today heâs at work.â
âOh, donât the other subordinates hate Jeong Da-jeong? I guess heâs okay.â
âThatâs right.â
I also found this quite strange.
Is it because he was too young compared to Leona Robo, or is it because he was lonely?
Compared to the other two, Baek Sa-Jin didnât dislike Jeong Da-Jeongâs touch that much.
In fact, it seemed like he wanted someone to be by his side, regardless of who he was.
Even though he had shrunk to the size of a cub now, his body was still big enough to eat three humans, which was pitiful.
âKkiing⦠⦠Bbaeng⦠⦠Kkeung⦠⦠!â
The cub started sniffing again, perhaps sensing my disapproval. It was really disgusting to see his snot running down his nose.
If I had known this would happen, I should have made him a real cat instead of a lion.
Han Jae-Young asked.
âWhatâs your name?â
âIâm still thinking about it. By the way, why are you so interested? Donât worry about it.â
âThe other kids didnât seem to have thought about their names that long, so why donât you just give them random names?â
I frowned.
The suddenness of Han Jae-youngâs words was strangely annoying.
â⦠⦠Are you angry at me?â
âHuh? Why would I be angry? Our guild member did something much greater than I expected, and I canât praise him.â
Han Jae-young picked up the iPad on the table and showed it to me.
I knew without even looking that my name was plastered on all sorts of websites.
Half of the people whose lives I saved were really grateful and the other half wanted to become famous by putting my name on it⦠â¦
Either way, itâs not bad for me.
- User, âJung Da-onâsâ âgood influenceâ is spreading.
Even if I just sit here and pet the white lion, my ability level is going up.
And now that Iâve done such a large-scale rescue operation, no one will say that Iâm sucking up to honey through alternative service.
So Han Jae-young also has a foundation where he can use me as he pleases, rather than just sending me to a lower-level dungeon while watching me closely.
Of course, that guy has no reason to be angry at me⦠⦠.
Actually, itâs not like I have no idea.
âWhat did Lee Pyeong-hwa say?â
âI guess he thinks I did something worth saying.â
As expected, this was it.
I replied while touching the baby lionâs soft belly.
âIsnât the guild leaderâs position too leisurely to worry about the feelings of a teenager?â
âIf that teenager is a good A-class talent that I personally scouted, then thatâs different.â
Han Jae-young looked like he was reprimanding me.
He probably heard a little bit about what happened between us from Lee Pyeong-hwa.
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than .net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
Even so, Lee Pyeong-hwa probably didnât go into detail about Nam Seong-hee⦠⦠He probably heard that I told him not to get involved anymore.
âDa-on, youâre still an adult. Be careful what you say.â
He treats me like an old man because he knows I have a past life.
I shrugged.
âApart from our age, Lee Pyeong-hwa and I didnât really get along. You know, since we were in a shipwreck together, right?â
If Lee Pyeong-hwa grows to the level of Shin Ji-eum, then thatâs fine.
Even so, it would take at least 10 years. I hope I donât encounter Lee Pyeong-hwa until then.
âIt was very surprising that you even awakened a skill.â
A skill is a convenient term for the system, but in reality, it means that the power that resides in your soul has grown enough to affect reality.
Unlike magicians who control and draw in external magic power, swordsmen accumulate magic power inside their bodies.
Thatâs why itâs very rare for swordsmen to awaken a skill that destroys magic.
After all, unlike magicians, inspectors tend to focus on physical training rather than exploring the soul.
However, if they do that, they will never reach a high level.
After all, the source of human power is the soul.
However, a very small number of inspectors awaken the power of the soul in the form of skills in the process of training their bodies.
âAt that time, Lee Pyeong-hwa was very tired. It wouldnât be strange to say that he fell into a state of selflessness.â
Moving a body that has reached its limit with mental power. It is something that can only be done with strong conviction.
And the conviction, the will⦠Lee Pyeong-hwa, who was deeply asleep awakened the soul.
Thanks to that, Lee Pyeong-hwa was able to invade the imaginary world that I had created.
âDestructing the imaginary world is a rare talent even among prosecutors.â
Destruction of the imaginary world.
The fact that the magician realized the truth he believed in into reality also meant that the truth was ultimately a distorted perception.
Therefore, that distorted perception could be destroyed by another personâs beliefs.
Of course, Lee Pyeong-hwaâs power was still lacking, so it was limited to recognizing and invading my imaginary world rather than destroying it.
Nevertheless, it is an undeniable truth that Lee Pyeong-hwaâs will was strong enough to distort reality.
âUgh.â
Thinking about it again, he is still a person who fundamentally does not fit with me.
It would have been better if Lee Pyeong-hwa had accused me of being a murderer.
However, what Lee Pyeong-hwa chose was a fledgling idealism.
âNo oneâs fault, so in the end itâs just evasion of responsibility.â
The person who committed the crime should be held responsible.
Itâs true, but itâs just empty.
If he says he didnât know anything [N O V E L I G H T] and had no authority, so heâs not responsible, what else is there left but peace of mind?
And whatâs the point of such peace?
Nothing changes with just fancy idealism.
Someone has to take the blame, shoulder the guilt, and take responsibility.
They have to fulfill their duty.
-The system agrees with the opinion of the user, âLee Pyeong-hwa.â
-âMurderâ is an act that is not acceptable by social standards.
â⦠Huh.â
Yeah, so itâs because this useless swarm intelligence agreed that Nam Seong-hee was not killed and was left alone.
They tolerate killing the enemy of humanity in order to save the future of humanity.
They leave even a devil like me alone for that.
âYou filthy, contradictory humans.â
I clearly intended to kill Nam Sung-hee.
The humans were the ones who stopped it, so they should take responsibility for the consequences.
I clicked my tongue.
âI didnât like the name.â
â⦠⦠Yes, if you say so yourself.â
For some reason, Han Jae-young sighed.
Pretending not to know the quick-witted fairyâs intentions, I handed the white lion cub to Han Jae-youngâs outstretched hand.
The white lion writhed in fear in Han Jae-youngâs hand, but soon it felt the fairyâs characteristically pure aura and became quiet, whining.
Han Jae-young looked into the white lion cubâs pink belly and laughed.
âName this child, Rairo.â
â⦠⦠What do you mean by that?â
âSometimes, humans choose to use falsehood as a way to harm others.â
Han Jae-young said as he handed the cub back to me.
âI hope that the harm doesnât harm me.â
***
And after a while.
The hunting dogs steadily caught the prey I wanted.
- The subordinate I contacted last time gave me information.
Leila was the first to succeed in the hunt.
- They say that the Korean Conservation Association began to move because they wanted the item Nam Sung-hee had.
âItâs within the expected range that the Conservation Association would contact the item because they wanted it. So?â
- But somehow⦠â¦
Leilaâs expression beyond the video was very stiff.
- Some of the upper echelons of the Conservation Association who ordered that⦠⦠seem to be related to Theo Yovanovic.
