I asked Jeong Hae-soo a few more questions and handed over the promised goods.

Woo Ki-hwan was upset and his whole body was twisted in complaint, but he decided to be thankful that he would be able to focus on training today.

Meanwhile, the seniors who had been teasing Woo Ki-hwan as best as they could, as they continued to be ignored, seemed to have lost interest and followed me when I left.

“Hey, junior, let’s go eat dinner. I’ll buy it for you.”

“I have a prior engagement. Let’s go together next time.”

“Who do you have a prior engagement with? I’ll buy it for him too.”

Who do you think you’re meeting and why are you willing to buy it for him so readily?

As if reading my mind, another senior asked a question instead.

“Do you think he has a prior engagement with someone and why are you buying it for him?”

“The juniors of Eui-shin are famous for being close to the kids in the class and taking good care of their juniors. They must be the juniors of Eun-gwang High School.”

The seniors’ insight was surprisingly excellent.

Today, there were class 0 and juniors among the prospective partners.

I was grateful, but I was about to decline.

“Oh, you......!”

Woo Ki-hwan, who had come out with me, screamed as he looked ahead, wondering if it was time to consume protein.

I looked ahead, wondering what the fuss was about, and then I made a face without realizing it.

That guy from our class was in front of the class 0 church hall.

“Jo Ui-shin, I’ve come to pick you up.”

I didn’t even ask him what he was doing, but the white tiger answered without thinking.

Today, we decided to have a strategy meeting at the tiger mansion until late and have dinner.

I had planned to go on my own, but I wondered why he sent me to pick him up.

In fact, I wasn’t worried, but I think I came out here to watch.

Woo Ki-hwan and his group, who realized that the white tiger was the owner of the strong muscles that fought back then, showed their dislike.

“Was that guy the one who made the promise?”

“I’ll give you a pack of protein, so cancel the promise.”

“Would he come if I gave him that?”

The seniors were talking about something besides Woo Ki-hwan’s gang, but I didn’t hear them.

That’s because at first, I couldn’t see it well because of the white tiger’s large body.

The lead that the white tiger was holding was connected to a small, precious angel.

The angel seemed to have come a long way to meet me, bravely and kindly.

I ignored everything and ran to the angel.

“Olmoo, wasn’t it hard to come here?”

Wang!

“If it’s hard, tell me. I’ll carry you.”

Wang!

The way he answered that it was okay looked so dignified and brave.

After dealing with people who were as big as mountains but not worth their age, I felt like my eyes were opened when I saw Olmo.

After that, it seemed like I had said goodbye to my seniors, but when I came to my senses, I was walking with an angel holding the lead.

I didn’t really need to be next to him, but the white tiger was standing right next to him, smiling.

I decided to ask him a question.

“Why did you come to greet me?”

I was glad that the angel had come, but I was so sorry for taking up Olmu’s precious time.

The white tiger answered obediently.

“I considered the possibility that you might be caught by the seniors of Class 0. Don’t they {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} really care about their juniors?”

“I’m getting caught?”

“If I appeal to their kindness, I might be caught. You’re weak to the kind who cares for you.”

I thought about the seniors who had been whining like children until just now.

I didn’t really get the grand feeling of ‘the kind who cares for me.’

If you were to compare the tendencies of the seniors I saw today to good and evil, they would never lean toward evil, and they seemed to care a little about their juniors because they were from the same class.

“Look at that.”

What does he want me to see?

The white tiger read my thoughts and started talking, but I forgot about it when Olmu called out to me, “King!”

I enjoyed walking with Olmu, and sometimes felt dumbfounded by the white tiger’s nonsense, so I quickly arrived at the tiger mansion.

The sun had set, but the golden fence of the tiger mansion and the lights designed to match the style of the annex within the premises were brightly lit, so it didn’t feel particularly dark.

Instead of heading to the main building where Eunho’s descendants were, we went to the annex.

“You’re a little late. What were you doing?”

“Joeui-shin introduced me as a member of our class.”

The white tiger started talking nonsense as soon as he saw his younger brother.

Was that guy saying our class an introduction?

It wasn’t exactly wrong, but it felt bad because it felt like I was wasting my time introducing the white tiger to the seniors.

“Ah, Jo Eui-shin. I understood what was going on from your expression. You don’t have to explain.”

Hwang Ji-ho finally paid his dues.

Hwang Ji-ho, wearing his usual half-wrap apron, said, “I’ll be the market, so come in,” and set up the seasonal mackerel papillote that had just come out of the oven.

In particular, the white tiger’s portion was topped with large pieces of dried persimmon, making the table look even more abundant.

“Hyung Eui-shin, did you have a nice time at the church hall?”

“I went to the church hall too.”

“Hyung Baek-ho, please eat first.”

Dinner started peacefully, but by the time we had tea, the conversation had become increasingly tense.

It was the last operational meeting before a big event, so there was nothing I could do.

First, Hwang Ji-ho spoke.

“I practiced making a barrier, but it just didn’t work. The barrier handled by the leader of the two clans is very different from the one I’ve been creating for thousands of years. In particular, the nature of the supernatural powers handled by the clan and the barrier technique that binds dreams are the worst.”

I asked Hwang Ji-ho to learn more about the barrier handled by the leader of the two clans.

However, while In-seon-oh succeeded in implementing the barrier handled by the leader of the two clans almost identically after seeing it just once, Hwang Ji-ho couldn’t.

“It seems that the leader of the two clans implemented and woven good dreams into a barrier in order to block the approach of nightmares. It’s very different from a common-sense barrier. Based on my body’s standards, I wonder if it’s right to call it a barrier in the first place.”

Still, I thought Hwang Ji-ho would be able to handle the barrier a little if he practiced, but it seemed difficult.

Then I had no choice but to modify some of the numbers I had planned.

This time, Eunho spoke.

“Dongha hyung investigated the current status of land and buildings owned by TC in Jeju Island, changes, purposes, and personal information of people who entered.”

Eunho floated a hologram pile into the air.

Even though Cheon Dongha must have compressed and organized it during the investigation, the amount of data collected was not small because it was decades worth of data.

If you include data on buildings that TC did not own but rented, the amount would be even larger.

Eunho then revealed the data he had personally investigated. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

“When I visited Jeju Island before, I got some help from people I knew. Dongha hyung was about to go on a school trip to Jeju Island, so I asked him to help me with a lot of things, and everyone readily agreed to help me.”

Eunho was also gradually establishing his position as Cheon Eunha.

On Christmas Eve, when Eun-ho dealt with those involved in the ‘Cheon Geum-ha incident’ on behalf of Cheon Dong-ha, it seemed that there were quite a few TC officials who were impressed by him.

There was some pure goodwill mixed in, but there were also quite a few who wanted to gain advantage by causing discord between Eun-ho and Cheon Dong-ha, so I was worried.

However, Eun-ho wisely dealt with those people, broadening his position and gradually increasing the number of weapons he could use.

“When I talked to them, there was a little talk about the ‘fake Cheon Geum-ha.’ There were some parts that bothered me, but they have nothing to do with the school trip, so I’ll talk about them later.”

After Eun-ho’s brief explanation, we each copied the hologram and read the data.

Eun-ho displayed a map of Jeju Island on the table in the living room where we were sitting, and marked the locations of the land and buildings owned by TC.

I looked back and forth between the data and the map, lost in thought.

‘It’s just as I thought. TC was involved in the math trip incident.’

Cheon Dong-ha, who investigated it himself, probably realized it long ago.

I couldn’t even imagine how Cheon Dong-ha would feel when he found out that the people who killed him and his friend had connections with TC in the replay.

I braced myself for the sake of Cheon Dong-ha, thinking that instead of being absorbed in sentimentality, I should refine my numbers more.

I then spoke.

“You probably already received it, but I told the seniors in Class 0 everything I wanted to ask of you.”

I glanced at the white tiger and spoke.

The white tiger nodded once, telling me not to worry since he did as he was told, but I was really displeased.

Hwang Ji-ho frowned, wondering if he was the only one who was displeased, and Eun-ho instructed the automatic maid to bring out more dried persimmons.

“Seniors Chansol who are participating in the math trip have finished negotiating with Air Hotel Icarus, and Senior Woogihwan has safely contacted the leader of the two tribes.”

“It doesn’t seem to be all that safe. I also heard that the leader of the two tribes was very stubborn.”

It became clear that the white tiger had even relayed useless information.

As the story was ending, those who had been waiting visited Eunho’s annex.

“Hello. My companion, Ungnyeo, and I have come.”

Jeokho said as if bragging about his companion.

The moment Jeokho said his name, Ungnyeo put strength into her fingertips and grabbed Jeokho’s arm tightly.

Jeokho felt the strength, looked at Ungnyeo affectionately, and smiled.

The two of them smiling at each other looked really good together, and as I watched from the front, I felt sorry for interrupting their time alone.

“Jeokho, we’ve said hello. Report. You probably don’t want to spend too much time either.”

“You know me well. Ungnyeo has been working hard as requested recently and her body has gotten a little sore, so I’ll speak on her behalf.”

“Are you going to blame me? I think you must have played a part in Ungnyeo’s fatigue.......”

Ignoring Hwang Jiho’s words, Jeokho began reporting.

He tried not to interrupt their cozy time if possible, but since the matter was important, he decided to ask for Jeokho and Ungnyeo’s help.

Ungnyeo recently analyzed and improved an item with Eunho.

Jeokho was assigned to assist Ungnyeo, but in the process, an external investigation was needed, so he went outside the mansion for the first time in a while to work.

Jeokho’s business trip ended in a day and he quickly returned to Ungnyeo’s side, but he felt bad about being away from her for even a little while.

I was dissatisfied with the report, as if I hadn’t heard it.

Anyway, all preparations were going smoothly.

After Jeokho’s report was over, Hwang Jiho turned his head towards me this time.

“I heard the report well. Then I should tell the association now. Have you contacted Jo Ui-shin and Hong Gyu-bin?”

The matter I asked Hong Gyu-bin to do was intertwined with the latest observation information, so it was difficult to resolve in advance, so the report was not yet available.

Hong Gyu-bin sent a device message at a perfect time.

Dingdong.

[Hong Gyu-bin] Ui-shin, you were right. If it weren’t for Dae-seok, you probably wouldn’t have found it even if you had specified the coordinates.

Instead of greeting him, Hong Gyu-bin quickly got to the main point.

This side also seemed to be as expected.

[Hong Gyu-bin] The Moon Palace Map and the satellite detected unusual movements in Jeju Island.

[Hong Gyu-bin] (Photo)

The satellite photo of Jeju Island sent by Hong Gyu-bin was full of red dots.

The reddest and largest dot was on Mt. Halla in Jeju Island.

The photo of Jeju Island covered in red looked very ominous.
