chapter 5
a nasty invitation
Siyoon opened the store without hesitation.
Then, the menu unfolded before his eyes.
[One. Trait ‘Bullet Time’Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com
During battle, you can accelerate your perceived speed. Everything that can be observed with both eyes seems to flow very slowly.
2. Attribute ‘Achievement Hunter.’
If there is an achievable achievement nearby, you will know its contents. (Excluding hidden achievements)
3. Enhanced ‘Shallow Sea Power I’
The physical burden when the shallow sea power is activated is reduced. ]
“Hmm…”
It was clear that all three were characteristics that were difficult to discard.
If you strengthen the shallow sea power, it will be of great help in understanding more spells in the future.
Considering the physical exhaustion I felt when I first used it in the study, this was an essential attribute to strengthen.
It seemed that if they continued to strengthen their shallow sea power, they would be able to apply it sufficiently even in special situations such as combat.
The trait ‘Bullet Time’ also seemed like a very useful trait.
Unlike other people, he couldn’t use body strengthening magic, so he had to have very good eyes to deal with monsters that were much faster than him.
If you can clearly see the opponent’s movements, no matter how backward your body is, you should be able to respond by moving one step first.
But even so, Siyoon couldn’t choose these.
‘If I think about the future, I can’t keep up with this.’
Trait ‘Achievement Hunter’.
If the only way to obtain attribute points is to achieve achievements in the future, the ‘achievement hunter’ characteristic was a characteristic that must be acquired in consideration of the future.
‘I hope next time there will be bullet time or supernatural power enhancement…’
Since the sales list of the specialty store changed from time to time, it was impossible to guarantee when the opportunity would return.
‘But I can’t help it.’
Siyoon clicked his tongue and chose the trait ‘Achievement Hunter’.
[You have purchased product number 2. 2 attribute points are consumed.]
[I have acquired the trait ‘Achievement Hunter’!]
Siyoon quickly looked around her room.
It was because there were quite a few cases in which achievements were usually achieved with something really insignificant, not necessarily great things.
Contrary to his expectations, however, there was no sign of any particular trait being activated.
Then someone knocked on his door.
smart.
Siyoon hurriedly hid the envelope containing the gun and asked.
“who is this?”
“Bocchan, it’s me.”
“…”
Siyoon let out a small sigh of relief and withdrew his hand from trying to put away the tools.
“Pilwoo?”
“Yes yes. I brought you something to eat.”
Carefully unlocking and opening the door, a large bandit entered the room.
“You haven’t eaten yet, have you?”
“Oh, come to think of it, I skipped meals too.”
“Well, even if I were a young boy, I couldn’t go outside right now.”
“?”
“I bought some bread just in case, but it’s a relief.”
“Ah, what else? I can go to the kitchen later and skip some.”
“Then what if you run into each other?”
“?”
“?”
For a while, he asked with a questioning gaze.
“You don’t know… yet?”
“what?”
“oh my.”
Pil-wu touched his forehead and thought about something for a moment before looking at the handicraft tools on the desk.
“Did you take it out after a while? You want to start over?”
“Oh, that’s how it should be. It’s one of the few things I can do.”
“Good job. It’s good to start something ambitious. Get this right here.”
After passing the bag of bread to Siyoon, Pil-wu glanced outside the door and cleared his throat slightly.
“Anyway, stay in your room today as if you were dead. If you need anything, just tell me.”
“I was thinking that anyway. Well, it looks like there are very special guests, but if you stand out for nothing, you will only get in trouble.”
“Right. Oh look at my mind I didn’t bring anything to drink. Wait. I’ll come down and up soon.”
“Ah, thanks for that…”
Siyoon scratched the back of his head at the sight of Pil-wu disappearing without answering.
“What do I not know?”
I open the curtains and look out the window, but I can only hear the bright lights in the front yard and the sound of laughter, but I can’t see who’s coming.
“It’s embarrassing.”
Just then, I heard someone knocking on the door again.
“What, are you here already?”
“Siyun. I am Oh Ji-seok.”
“?!”
Oh Ji-seok was the direct servant and bodyguard of Choi Il-soo, the eldest son of this mansion.
‘What happened to Oh Ji-seok?’
Siyoon quickly hid the tools under the table and carefully opened the door.
Then, a rice cake stand the size of Pil-wu bent down toward him.
“Master Ilsu is looking for you.”
“me? Why?”
“You skipped a meal.”
He looked down at me with emotionless eyes.
“He said he would like you to come and join us in a dinner prepared for you below.”
“what?”
For a moment, Siyoon wondered if he had heard it wrong.
‘Isn’t that person a character who will worry about my meal?’
Feeling strongly that he would not be able to see anything better if he went downstairs, Siyoon showed the bag of bread that Pil-wu bought for him and said,
“Tell me not to worry because I have something else to eat.”
The moment I said that and was about to close the door, a huge palm grabbed the threshold.
“Siyun-nim.”
he said in a sullen voice.
“Siyoon-nim has no choice.”
“…”
“Please follow me on my feet. Before I commit any disrespect.”
Siyoon’s face twisted.
“what?”
He glared at the rice cake stand in front of him as if he would kill him.
No matter how much Choi Si-yoon was pushed out of the succession fight, he was definitely a royal family.
It wasn’t that he was disowned by the president or kicked out of his family.
‘But did the servants of the branch house listen to it under duress? What the hell, you are Siyoon Choi…!’
Are you saying you’ve tolerated this humiliation all this time?
Siyoon couldn’t understand.
He smiled at the confidence of Oh Ji-seok, who was glaring at him the same way, regardless of whether he was staring at him or not.
‘Look at this guy?’
Shiyoon shook his head and opened the door he was about to close.
“great. I’ll follow you this time By the way.”
Then Oh Ji-seok tries to step back by relaxing his eyes.
At that moment, Siyoon’s outstretched hand grabbed his collar and yanked it.
“······!!”
Siyoon opened her eyes and said.
“Even if you are a branch of the family, how do you have the guts to act like this to me?”
“What is that…”
“I’ve been asking if I came or not, so this has completely disappeared. Why, the Royal Family of the Seongma Group is starting to look funny?”
“…!”
He flinched at the word “Royal Family.”
Siyoon, who saw that, rather gave strength to his hand and warned him.
“Work on it. Do you think I’m doing this because I can’t bury even one of you?”
No matter how toothy a tiger is, a tiger is a tiger.
As long as Choi Si-yoon was a member of the royal family, the fact that someone like Oh Ji-seok could not be treated carelessly did not change.
Si-yoon just made Oh Ji-seok aware of the fact that he and the servants of this mansion had forgotten about.
Sensing that his attitude was different from usual, Oh Ji-seok’s face hardened rapidly.
Siyoon smiled at him and said.
“Why, if it’s like a joke, why don’t you make a call to the general secretary’s office?”
As soon as he came to the secretary’s office, he hurriedly replied in surprise as if he had been hit by cold water.
“Oh no!”
Group general secretary office.
It was a sort of bodyguard that took care of small matters related to the group chairman’s home, and was well known among the general public as a department that should and should not be involved in a lifetime.
And among the duties of the secretary’s office, maintaining and protecting the dignity of the royal family was also included.
No matter how pathetic he may be, Choi Si-yoon is also a direct blood relative of the chairman.
Until now, he had been secretly looked down on and ignored, but originally, it was clear that Oh Ji-seok was the same blood as the people he had to look up at.
If the fact that he ‘had been treated rudely habitually’ even though he was a mere employee leaked into the general secretary’s office…
He swallowed his saliva unconsciously and looked at Choi Si-yoon in front of him.
‘But, I can’t believe that…’
Of course, if Choi Si-yoon really contacted the general secretary’s office, of course he would be finished.
However, that was equivalent to Choi Si-yoon’s political suicide.
Isn’t it Choi Si-yoon, who was pushed out of the succession fight and completely out of sight of the group’s board of directors?
However, Hana, a servant of the branch family, rushes over to the secretary’s office for ignoring her, and asks her to take care of it?
Who the hell would want to entrust a ‘group’ to such a nerdy person?
If you do such a thing even after being kicked out of your family, you will never be able to gain the trust of the board of directors, let alone the chairman.
‘But···.’
Oh Ji-seok gulped down his saliva as he looked at Choi Si-yoon’s unwavering eyes.
‘What if the rumors are true?’
Rumors have been floating around the mansion since he ended up with Kim Seo-ah on a bad note.
It was a rumor that Choi Si-yoon, who tried to revive through engagement but failed, would soon officially give up the successor position and declare a branch.
Even though there was no hope, it was because it was obvious that if he continued to stick to his home, it would only spark a fight for succession.
‘What if I’m really thinking of branching out?’
Isn’t it possible to put a phone in the secretary’s office in a fit of anger?
Oh Ji-seok’s eyes trembled as he thought about it up to that point.
“no? Is that all?”
He quickly lowered his back.
“sorry!”
“Let’s do some good.”
Si-yoon, who let go of his collar, tapped Oh Ji-seok on the shoulder as if he knew exactly what he was thinking.
‘Of course I can’t.’
Would you tell the secretary’s office about something like this, just because you’re crazy?
‘But.’
There was no need to be obedient just because you couldn’t actually do it.
‘I don’t even want to.’
Siyoon also knew that rumors were circulating that he might be splitting up.
Because that’s always been the case in games.
So I used that point.
As a result, Oh Ji-seok will not treat him carelessly in the future.
“what are you doing. No guidance.”
“Ah, this, I’ll take you this way!”
Siyun followed him out of the mansion.
