'Who does this nowadays?'
I wondered if he hired those guys. If he didn't, he probably had been waiting for this situation, and honestly, I couldn't help but laugh at his cheap plan that seemed to come out of a teen drama.
'Do you think this will work?'
However, it appeared to. Humans were supposed to pay more attention to people who showed affection for them.
From Kim Hyunsung's point of view, it would seem like he was angry on his behalf or got him out of a difficult situation.
He didn't help with anything great, but it was an undeniable fact that he scored at least.
As expected, there was a little gratitude in our regressor's gaze on the Song Villain.
Currently, he probably only became properly aware of him now, but he seemed to think that he had imprinted his presence.
'This bastard is good at acting.'
-It hasn't been long since the Son of Light entered the spiritual world. There are still many people who can't forget that sadness...
'You're good at acting. Very much so.'
-Your words may sound rude to those who honor him. I don't even need to say anything about the Sunset Swordsman. That's a glorious and high compliment for me, but... I'm afraid that it may harm his reputation.
'He doesn't address me as the late Honorary Cardinal Lee Kiyoung anymore.'
-He is the saint who gave everything for the continent. Nothing and nobody can take the place of the Saint of Light. I'm sorry for being so sensitive to your compliment, but I hope you refrain from saying that... at least in front of the Blue Guild Master.
'Is there really anyone that can replace me?'
-I apologize once again, Blue Guild Master.
-It's fine.
-We apologize too, Sunset Swordsman.
-We didn't consider the Blue Guild Master's feelings. We formally apologize.
Within the blink of an eye, only the extras looked bad. Kim Hyunsung, who almost got angered for a moment, was also making an awkward expression in that strangely sorted-out atmosphere.
It was understandable since the Song Villain decided to say the words he didn't want to say. Maybe he thought it was better like that.
As expected, manager Kim Mi-young looked relieved. Having been assigned to explain the situation to Kim Hyunsung, she wouldn't want a problem to erupt there.
Regardless of whoever's at fault, she didn't want anyone talking about this.
'Because the decoys didn't do anything really wrong.'
At this point, if Kim Hyunsung became enraged and messed things up, the rumors would probably put him in a bad light.
It was almost certain that there would be a story about the Sunset Swordsman going crazy because he couldn't overcome his sadness from losing the Honorary Cardinal, becoming unable to make sound judgments.
Those types of hearsays were already coming out little by little. There was no need to inflate such topics even more.
-...
While Kim Hyunsung was silent, the decoys quietly coughed and left, while the Song Villain sighed and spoke to him.
-I hope you don't resent or hate them too much, Blue Guild Master.
