The Regressor Only Protects Me Chapter 205

Episode 205. A Conflicting Relationship (2)

'I have to become stronger.'

That was the thought that occurred to Jin Jae-hee as he left the hotel.

Kang Jun-ho is clearly Kang Si-on's younger brother, but he has a different purpose than Kang Si-on.

He was no different from me in that he did it for Kang Shi-on, but his method was wrong.

Jin Jae-hee's goal is to put everything back.

of course.

Even if this league ends, there is no certainty that everything will go back to the way it was.

Because Jin Jae-hee has never experienced that future.

Just give it a try.

But the moment I met Kang Jun-ho, my resolve began to waver a little.

'Maybe I was wrong.'

I had such a dizzying thought.

Her dream of returning to her normal daily life.

Kang Si-on also said that if he could just help her find her younger brother, he would make his dream come true.

But the Kang Jun-ho I finally met was different.

He chose not to go back.

It was quite dangerous when the most powerful player had different ideas.

Even if there is a strong braking device called Kang Si-on that only Kang Jun-ho can use, if he doesn't change his mind, there will be no result of returning to the original world.

Jin Jae-hee, who was quickly going down the stairs, slowed his steps little by little.

Because I suddenly had an ominous feeling.

What if Kang Shi-on's feelings had changed?

It's a very possible story.

Kang Si-on could change his purpose at any time for Kang Jun-ho.

If that happens, all the efforts Jin Jae-hee has put in in the past will go down the drain.

I clearly promised to turn the world around, but I lived with only that in mind.

If that happened and this relationship fell apart… … she didn't think she could accept it.

Kwuuk.

She gripped the railing she was holding on to more tightly.

'no.'

Jin Jae-hee shook his head.

She trusted Kang Shi-on.

Kang Shi-on firmly believed that his heart would not change.

The Kang Shi-on I've seen so far is the most trustworthy person, and someone who is confident in the path he has chosen.

So even if his younger brother returns, his heart will not change.

Turn the world back.

Now it will be the final step.

It was his job to prepare for it.

Jin Jae-hee started walking again.

I slowly entered the hotel lobby. There were security guards on the hotel lobby floor.

They all seemed to have a strong impression. In fact, the strength I felt from them was also strong.

Jin Jae-hee slowly approached them.

But among them, the biggest one stopped Jin Jae-hee.

“No one can get out.”

Jin Jae-hee looked up at the man with sharp eyes.

She tried to turn aside and leave, but the man followed Jin Jae-hee to the end.

“Uh… … . So, no one can leave?”

“He said he never locked her up.”

At that moment, a voice was heard behind her.

“Who locked you up? You just can’t get out.”

Jin Jae-hee looked back.

Kang Jun-ho was walking toward me, lighting a cigarette.

Phew-.

Kang Jun-ho spoke again, blowing out cigarette smoke.

“I’m sorry, but Suwon is a city with strict rules and regulations. It’s curfew right now. Look outside. Who’s walking around?”

“… …Should I knock them all down and leave?”

“There’s a limit to how much you can whine like a child. You said you’d come with me, didn’t I? Did I invite you?”

“I followed you because I was worried about Zion.”

“There was no need to worry, right?”

“Where are you?”

“I’ll give you back that crappy remark you made. You don’t have to answer me, do you?”

“I will go out even if I have to force it.”

“Is it possible?”

Kang Jun-ho released a small amount of strength.

It was clearly a small force from Kang Jun-ho's perspective, but it was an enormous force to those around him.

Even though it was indoors, Jin Jae-hee's hair was flying around due to Kang Jun-ho's strength.

Once again a war of nerves broke out between the two.

It was clear that they both considered each other to be enemies.

“Where is Zion?”

“And I hope you don’t speak my brother’s name so carelessly.”

“Do you think I would treat you like a little brother?”

At Jin Jae-hee’s words, Kang Jun-ho snickered.

"ha ha ha."

Soon the lobby floor erupted in roaring laughter.

“Poohahahaha-! Puhahahahahahahaha! Ah… … . Xieeeeeal… … . It really is X.”

At that time, Kang Jun-ho's other subordinates on the lobby floor became very tense.

It was to the point where I hesitated and stepped back.

Kang Jun-ho covered his face with his big hands and laughed, then looked at Jin Jae-hee with sharp eyes between his fingers.

At that moment.

Woof-.

“?!”

The entire lobby floor was turned black.

Light was unable to spread because of the strong gravity, and as a result, objects lost their colors.

Kuuuuung-.

“?!?… … .”

Jin Jae-hee felt an enormous weight as if an elephant was sitting on each of his shoulders.

He desperately tried to release his power to resist his artifact, but it was impossible.

Jin Jae-hee couldn't stop Kang Jun-ho's power.

dump-!

Eventually she got down on one knee.

Even though I was down on one knee, gravity became stronger.

It no longer looked like an elephant, but like he was carrying a building on his shoulders.

There was someone who walked calmly despite this tremendous gravity.

Kang Jun-ho slowly approached Jin Jae-hee with both hands in his pockets.

“Does it sound funny to me when I just say it?”

Kang Jun-ho hated talking.

From Kang Jun-ho's perspective, he has been as polite as possible to Jin Jae-hee so far.

Originally, he would simply get rid of those who annoyed him.

And so far in Kang Jun-ho's league, Jin Jae-hee was the only person who went against his will head-on.

Originally, I would tremble and kneel just by feeling Kang Jun-ho's power.

“That’s why… … I don’t want to keep you next to my brother.”

“Huh… … .”

Jin Jae-hee could no longer hold out and fell to the ground.

Kang Jun-ho tried to grab her hair, but before that, he heard a voice.

* * *

“Junho!”

Snap-!

Zion immediately grabbed Junho's arm and pulled him back.

Kang Jun-ho was startled and withdrew all the strength he had released.

As he withdrew his power, the objects that had lost their colors regained their colors.

Zion's face, looking at Junho, was slightly distorted.

Zion asked Junho.

"what are you doing."

"brother……?"

“Junho.”

Zion let go of his brother's hand that he was holding.

And he said it as if he was tying a knot.

“I know. I understand.”

“… … .”

Junho couldn't say anything.

Even the absolute ruler of Suwon, who was always tough on everyone, was ultimately just a younger sibling in front of his older brother.

“You won’t believe me. I told you not to trust others too easily. I’m not telling you not to be cautious. I’m just asking you to watch out. This woman… …was with me during the last round. She’s someone very precious to me. She’ll always be with me until the end of this league.”

“… … .”

“If it makes you uncomfortable, I won’t come to Suwon.”

“Hyung… … . That’s not what I meant.”

Junho trembled with his words.

From Jun-ho's perspective, Kang Si-on was his precious family member who had died and returned.

He didn't want to be hated by that family. He just wanted Kang Si-on to be happy, and furthermore, he wanted Kang Jun-ho to be of help to his brother.

From Kang Jun-ho's perspective, the woman named Jin Jae-hee seemed to be someone who was using Kang Si-on for her own purposes. So he had no choice but to be wary.

But Kang Shi-on thought differently.

“Junho… … .”

And Kang Jun-ho had no choice but to follow Kang Si-on’s will.

“… … I understand. Hyung. It was my fault. He was a guest, but I didn’t treat him like one. That, that is. What you said earlier about not coming… … .”

Kang Si-on smiled as if relieved at Kang Jun-ho's words.

“He’ll come. He’ll come. Just wait a minute. I have work to do, too.”

“… … .”

Junho wasn't happy about it, but he had to accept it.

What Junho fears the most.

The collapse of Suwon? Your own death?

It was neither of those.

It was just a very small worry that his brother might start to hate him.

“Okay, bro. I’ll wait.”

Kang Jun-ho, he was called the monarch of heaven and earth.

It was a nickname given to him because there was no one in the heavens and the earth, or in the area where humans live, who could stand against him.

His conquest, which began in Suwon, extended to Cheonan, Jeonju, Gwangju, Mokpo, and finally Jeju Island.

Kang Jun-ho is currently the only player in the Korean peninsula who has come close to clearing the 4th round.

His shadows are those who serve the absolute monarch, living and dying by his orders.

How could such an absolute monarch be swayed by someone who was merely his own older brother?

Lee Ju-yeon, who was looking at that sight, felt a deep sense of disgust.

* * *

“Take everything. Don’t miss a single thing.”

“Let’s get moving!”

“Hey! Be careful when you move!”

The gifts that Kang Jun-ho sent to Man-gyeong were overwhelmingly numerous. To be exact, they were gifts for his older brother.

The line of wagons loaded with gifts stretched endlessly.

Moving this much wealth also required a national workforce.

But Kang Jun-ho was different.

Using his ability of gravity, he was able to move even large objects in an instant.

Kang Shi-on was watching his younger brother's tremendous strength.

Then someone approached him and said,

“Food… … Tobacco… … Drinking water… … Medical supplies… … Nutrients… … Various luxuries… … Gold and jewels… … . Your Majesty, please sign here.”

Kang Shi-on signed the document presented by the secretary.

A herd of hundreds of pigs was passing by.

Pork was originally a meat that even ordinary citizens could easily enjoy before the league began.

Nowadays, it is a top-quality food that only the nobles among the nobles can taste.

Even Kang Shi-on, the monarch of Man-gyeong, could only taste pork on a few occasions.

There are hundreds of pigs like that. They were all gifts from Kang Jun-ho to his brother.

“About 30 breeders will be sent to raise pigs. In addition, 150 experts for urban reconstruction. 150 doctors and nurses. 500 soldiers. If there is anything else that the monarch needs, the chairman said to ask for anything.”

The word chairman refers to Kang Jun-ho, who rules Suwon District 1.

Kang Shi-on said while looking at the gift parade.

“Thank you. You didn’t have to go this far.”

“The chairman is sorry that he could not do more. I hope that Man-gyeong will be rebuilt quickly.”

"Thank you."

“One more thing.”

The secretary caught Kang Shi-on as he turned around.

Kang Shi-on looked at the secretary.

Neat attire and round glasses.

He approached Kang Shi-on with small steps.

“Take this.”

The secretary handed over a small sports bag.

Kang Shi-on looked at the secretary once and then checked the contents of the bag.

Jiiiiiik-.

When I opened the zipper, there was a huge amount of cigarettes.

Kang Shi-on looked at the cigarettes and asked the secretary.

“What is this?”

“Chairman, this is a gift from the King himself. You must have paid a lot of money during this war. I hope these cigarettes will help ease your burden.”

Cigarettes were a hugely valuable currency in this league.

The sports cross bag, which looked to be at least 80 liters in size, was filled with cigarettes.

It would have been impossible to transport such currency on a wagon.

Kang Shi-on nodded and expressed his gratitude.

“Please tell my brother that I said thank you. Oh, and. I heard that another one of my subordinates is here. What happened to him?”

“You are talking about Mr. Choi Myeong-jun.”

“… … Yes.”

The secretary crumpled his expression as if it was really difficult.

“Ah-. Right now, it’s dangerous to even move him from the treatment room. In fact, it’s a very cautious situation. I doubt that Man-gyeong’s medical system can take care of Choi Myung-jun right now. Choi Myung-jun is in such a serious condition that he should have died originally. Our medical staff is also doing their best to prevent his death.”

Kang Shi-on swallowed his words.

In fact, Choi Myeong-jun said that his recovery was a miracle.

He said that the medical staff in Suwon were doing their best, to the point where he couldn't even see his face.

And about Choi Myeong-jun, Kang Si-on also heard the story from his younger brother.

Unlike Jin Jae-hee, Kang Jun-ho had a positive evaluation of Choi Myeong-jun.

Kang Shi-on had no choice but to leave him here.

“… … Okay. If that person wakes up, please contact me by any means necessary.”

“I understand. We will support you in everything we do in Suwon so that Your Majesty will not have any inconvenience in contacting you. Then, Your Majesty, I hope to see you again.”

“Yes. Thank you for your hard work.”

After saying that, Kang Shi-on got into the carriage.

Their procession ascended to Man-gyeong again.
