Absolute Regression Chapter 696

Who is on the top of the 696th day?

The sword dance drama could tell that the leader of the apostles was sincere.
He wanted to fly to that stage right away and kill Chai Lan.
She was striding across the stage, catching the attention of the warlords. The person who had to live the most secretive life was smiling brightly at the world.

Just to kill this Apostolic Leader and become the most beautiful person in the world.

A surprising word that came out of the mouth of Geommugeuk.

“Kill him.”
“!”

When Geommugeuk told him to kill her, Baekjagang’s eyes widened slightly. It was an unexpected answer.

“Kill me?”
“Yes! Kill me.”

Baekjagang could also tell that this was not a lie. He didn’t get goosebumps in his ears.

Baek Ja-gang’s gaze turned to Chae-ran on the stage. She was smiling brightly at the judges’ table in the center of the stage. She would soon be leaving the stage.

The intense murderous intent of Baekjagang felt from the side was tense as if it would shoot towards the stage at any moment.
How many times could Salsu, exposed to the world, endure against the leader of the Apostles?

Stepping on her corpse, Baek Ja-gang would say:

I, the Apostolic Alliance Leader, congratulate you on the opening of the World’s Best Beauty Contest.

The Apostles will all be thrilled by the sudden appearance of the Apostolic Leader. They will cheer without asking why he was killed. This is because he has the absolute trust and support of the Apostles.

Okay.

As the dots in the eyes where the killing intent had been concentrated grew larger, the intense killing intent disappeared.
Baek Ja-gang calmly explained the reason for giving up.

“If she was a woman who needed to be killed, you would have killed her before I got here.”

Geommugeuk smiled brightly at the deep trust he had in himself.
Now it was Geommugeuk’s turn to repay that trust.

“Yes, there was a reason I didn’t kill him.”

The gaze of the sword dance turned to the stage. Chai Ran was leaving the stage amidst cheers.

“Would she really have been entrusted with this enormous task alone? There must have been another motive behind it.”

Baekjagang nodded. It was his intention to drag out another mastermind and defeat them together. There could be someone else somewhere among these warlords.

“There’s a bigger reason than that. Why did you target the leader? Even if the ambush was successful, the position of the leader would be inherited by Sa-in.”

In fact, that was the reason why Baek Ja-gang didn’t kill her. Even if he did, he wanted to find out the reason.

“It wouldn’t be bad to die by the hands of the most beautiful person in the world.”

It was a joke that meant that he would wait without killing anyone first.
As Baek Ja-gang was about to leave, he asked one last question.

“What if I really killed that woman?”

Geommugeuk thought for a moment and then spoke calmly.

“If they killed him, there must have been another way to kill him.”

He added while looking at the Baekja River.

“What could I worry about when the leader is here?”

Even these words did not give me goosebumps. I could tell that Geommugeuk truly believed in me. For someone who talks so much, Geommugeuk was one of the few people who gave me goosebumps.

The white porcelain paper that had been pressed down by the bamboo stick disappeared among the people.

There was no incident until the main stage ended.
The eight beauties who would advance to the final stage, which would be held three days after the end of the competition, were announced.
Along with the seven beauties including Chai Lan.

Ian advances to the finals.

There was no change.

* * *

An Hu-pyeong sat at the front of the stage with a swollen face.
Despite all this, she came out to watch the competition. She had to show off to Ian that she saw him, and she was also curious about who the other pretty girls were.

He didn’t care at all about the eyes around him.
I’m the firefighter of Shinwhabang. No matter what I look like, I’m better than you. Can you ignore me? You can’t. He lived with this kind of mindset.

Of course, he was in the worst mood right now.
He had been shocked and confused earlier, but as time passed, he felt so hurt and wronged.
He thought that looking at the beauties would make him feel better, but hearing the hot air and cheers made him feel even worse.
Yes, when you are in a bad mood, you should not look at happy things, but look at things that are more unfortunate than you.

Then someone held something out. I turned my head and saw Sachu holding out some ice wrapped in a cloth.

“Put it on your face.”
“Okay!”

Although he reacted nervously, Sachu continued to hold out his pocket.

“I told you, that’s enough! Who are you kidding me about!”

An Hu-pyeong threw his pocket on the floor.
His face hurt from screaming.

“Damn, it hurts.”

Sachu looked at Anhui in silence.
He thought that it was his own fault, but seeing this again made him feel bad.

“How much money do I have on the battlefield?”
“About one thousand two hundred nyang.”
“Is that all I have?”

Considering how extravagantly he usually spent his money, it was fortunate that he had that much money left.

“What kind of gift can I buy with that?”
“What kind of gift?”
“What! I’ll buy you a little boy. Shouldn’t that cheer you up?”

I had to do something. I was going to curse and hit the leader, so I was going to get caught.

“It would be difficult to buy anything the little lord would like with that money.”
“Damn it!”

At that moment, cheers erupted.
I looked up at the stage and saw Chayran coming up on stage.

“That woman?”

It was the woman who had been talking to Ian’s escort. Strangely enough, she was someone who was difficult to talk to.
But when he saw her overwhelming beauty, a thought flashed through An Hu-pyeong’s mind.

“Yeah, that’s it! We have to find him!”

An Hu-pyeong jumped up and ran into the crowd of warlords.
Sa-chu followed him, sighing as he wondered what he would do next.

* * *

The person that An Hu-pyeong finally found after wandering around was none other than Geommu-geuk.

“How did your face end up like this?”

Of course, Geommugeuk guessed the reason. It would be nice if he got beaten up and came to his senses.

“You don’t know! Didn’t that guy talk to you earlier?”
“That scary-looking guy?”
“Did he really ask you if there were that many pretty girls?”
“Yes. I had a hard time running to get there on time.”

An Hu-pyeong’s eyes sparkled.

“You said you were going to drink tonight? Where are you going to take the ladies?”
“I haven’t decided yet. If I go, I’m thinking of renting a room at a nearby tavern.”
“Come to Hwamyunggwan! I’ll rent the whole place.”

Hwamyeonggwan was the biggest and most expensive bar in the market.
Anhui Ping was determined to make up for this mistake by introducing Chai Lan to Bisain.
Yes, if he showed off his womanizing, this place would definitely work.

When Geommugeuk made a troubled expression, An Hu-pyeong frowned.

“An important guest will also be coming with you.”
“Who are you talking about?”

If you don’t tell me who the escort is, I will never bring Ian and Chayran.
An Hu-pyeong held up two fingers.

“The second person in the ranking of the Moorim’s later incumbents.”
“Who are you?”
“The leader of the Sadomaeng.”

It was also a chance to show Ian what a great person he was with. To look good to the leader, and to look good to Ian.

I was worried that maybe Visain would like Ian.
But even if that happened, there was nothing I could do. At that time, I would switch to Chai-ran. Right now, it was more important to look good to the small leader.

“Just bring me. I’ll let you enjoy all the expensive drinks and food you’ve never had before in your life.”

An Hu-pyeong made a soft threat.

“If you don’t come, I’ll rip your mouth off!”

Sa-chu, who was behind An-hu-pyeong, flinched at the mention of tearing his mouth.
He met Geommu-geuk’s eyes.
Sa-chu covered his mouth with his palm. It was a sign that he had absolutely not said anything.

Geommugeuk asked Anhu Ping, who was turning around.

“Who is the first among the review indices?”

As if asking because he didn’t know, An Hu-pyeong answered while walking briskly.

“Don’t you, Mine, know better?”

* * *

A seat was set up in the middle of Hwamyeonggwan.
All kinds of delicacies from the mountains and the sea were served, and good alcohol was prepared.

“If you make a mistake, you all die today!”

The attendants and storekeepers working at Hwamyeonggwan tensed up at Anhu Ping’s shout.
At that moment, Anhu Ping’s eyes caught Sachu, who was standing there blankly.
Anhu Ping grabbed Sachu’s shoulder from behind and shook him.

“Why again? What’s going on?”
“Oh, no.”
“Are you scared when the So-Maeng-Ju comes? Just stand there quietly.”

In fact, Sachu was not the So Myeong-ju, but the Sado 13-rang that made his heart tremble at the thought of meeting them up close. Why do so many surprising things happen these days?

At that moment, Visain came in. An Hu-pyeong ran to greet him.

“Are you here?”

The thirteen apostles followed behind the visa sign. The thirteen apostles took their places in all directions. They were in a position where they could respond immediately if there was a problem with the visa sign.

After Sachu politely greeted the Visain, he also greeted the Sado 13rangs with a lottery. Once in each direction. Since he usually didn’t greet them like this, Ilrang looked at him with interest.

“Is anyone coming yet?”

An Hu-pyeong quickly answered the question posed by the seated visa holder.

“He must be coming now.”

An Hu-pyeong looked at Sa-chu and tried to motion for him to go quickly.
However, Sa-chu was looking at the Sado 13th Rang and not at him.

‘Oh my, is that guy losing his mind again?’

Sachu felt both emotion and sadness.
They were the people he had really liked and admired since he was young.

The five letters of the Apostle Thirteenth Letter remained as five letters to him as well.

An unfulfilled dream.

If I had tried harder back then, would I be standing in that position?

At that moment, Geommu-geuk entered.
An Hu-pyeong, who had been delighted, was startled. Only Geommu-geuk and Ian were there.

An Hu-pyeong ran over and asked Geommu-geuk.

“Where’s Miss Tea?”
“We agreed to meet here.”
“Didn’t I tell you to come?”
“She will.”

First, I would like to say hello and say something. But I wanted to introduce Chayran to the non-resident.
Next, I wanted to introduce him.

“This person here is the Apostolic Alliance’s Young Leader.”

An Hu-pyeong puffed out his chest. This young lady, I, am someone who fits in well with the young leader of the Sadomasochist clan.

“This time, Ian Sozer has advanced to the finals.”

This time, I looked at the visa sign and tensely held my neck. I am a person who associates with such beauties!

“Okay, please sit down.”

As everyone sat down, Geommugeuk quickly took a seat.

“Do you know what kind of position this is? Where would an escort come in?”

He spoke as if the sword dance was unfair.

“You said you’d treat me to drinks and food I’ve never tasted before? You said that this great man is coming?”
“Is this guy crazy!”

Visain asked softly.

“Who is on top?”

An Hu-pyeong waved his hands in fright.

“Interest is nonsense!”

The sage who was watching the commotion frowned. This was the only thing that caught his ear, more than any other mistake.
The Sado 13th Rang was standing right next to him, and yet he thoughtlessly talked about something like escorting.

Sachu bowed his head slightly as if apologizing to Ilrang, who was standing a little distance away from him.

At that moment, the sound of the bell reached Sachu.

-How are your siblings?

Sachu looked at Ilrang in surprise. What does that mean?
At that moment, Sachu opened his eyes wide in surprise. He sent a message with a trembling voice.

-You remember me.

I remembered that day long ago.
The days when I was young and fresh, waiting at the entrance to the Apostolic Alliance to see the faces of the Thirteen Apostles.

And on the day he finally met them, Sachu showed the greatest courage he had ever shown in his life.
He stood in front of the Sado 13th Rang. And he asked them something that no one around him could tell him.

“How can I become one of the thirteen apostles?”

The person who came forward and listened to what he had to say was none other than Il-lang.

“I heard that the best warrior in the Sado Alliance is the Sado 13th Ranger. I want to become the best warrior and feed my younger siblings.”

They left without saying anything, but surprisingly, Ilrang remembered himself from that day.

– How do you remember me?
– Because you’re the only one who survived after blocking our path.

Sachu was truly grateful and touched that he was remembered.
However, because of that, he could no longer look at Ilrang and lowered his head.

He was the one who had such a grand dream.
But now he was living his life following that rascal An Hu-pyeong around, dealing with accidents and settling things down.

At that moment, Ilrang slowly walked over to Sachu, who was keeping his head down, and patted him on the shoulder as he passed by.

It was an action that spoke more power than any words in the world.
Sachu made up his mind.
He would not wash the clothes that Ilrang had patted on his shoulder, but would keep them for the rest of his life.
It was at that very moment.

Hot.

At that moment, An Hu-pyeong grabbed my shoulder and spoke from behind.

“Go to the kitchen and take care of it yourself. Don’t make any mistakes.”

Of all places, Ilrang took the same spot.

“Why are you arresting me when you can’t just say it!”

Sachu shouted. An Huping looked at him with a surprised face. Everyone’s eyes were focused on him.

“Why on earth are you doing this?”

It was the first time that Sa-chu had shouted at An-hu-pyeong. And it was also a shout to himself.

After a moment of confusion, An Hu-pyeong asked coldly.

“Why are you doing this?”

At that moment, Sa-chu saw Geom-mu-geuk over An-hu-pyeong’s shoulder.
Geom-mu-geuk made a gesture of covering his mouth with his palm, just as he had done to him before.

Sachu could tell that it meant he shouldn’t say anything now.

Up until now, everyone had told him to be quiet.
Shh! Shh, if he didn’t, he’d rip his mouth open.
But the way he covered his mouth now was different. Right now, he was doing it for his own good.
Just tell him to keep quiet. That wasn’t right now. I could feel his feelings.

“I’m sorry. I think I lost my mind.”

Sachu ran into the kitchen with his head down.
Now was not the time to nag him, so An Huping turned around and spoke to everyone.

“It’s so hard to handle luggage these days. Do you all understand?”

And then he laughed out loud.
But no one laughed with him. No one was even looking at him.

The thirteen apostles were looking straight ahead, Ian and Bisain were talking about something,
and Geommu-geuk was watching Sa-chu walking towards the kitchen.

‘Where is everyone looking?’

For a brief moment, he felt abandoned and alone. It wasn’t like this when he had been beaten by his father.

Just then someone spoke behind him.

“Please step aside.”

An Hu-pyeong looked back and saw Chae-ran standing there. The woman who would save him had finally appeared.

“Oh! Our Lady of Tea has finally arrived.”

When I greeted him warmly, Chayran tilted her head.

“Who are you?”
“I am An Hu-pyeong, the firefighter of Shinwhabang.”

Instead of introducing herself, Chayran smiled.

“Your face is very swollen.”

Chayran walked past him.
Although Visain and Ian were together, her gaze was focused solely on Geommu-geuk.

“There are a lot of guests. Let’s just have a cozy time, just the two of us.”

Just then she walked up to where everyone was sitting.

yes.

The watch in the arms of the swordsman reacted slightly.
Chayran smiled charmingly and said.

“You know what? Something good might happen when you two are alone together?”
