Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy - Chapter 194
193 – Guild Internship_24
“Let go!! Shit, you guys thought you’d get away with this─”
Shin Jin-ho violently rebelled against the voting results, but his skills were not up to the standards of any of the team leaders gathered here.
He could only scream, but when a few guards came and filled the mana seal, he couldn’t put up much of a fight and was dragged out of the large conference room, waving his feet and hands.
“Haha, how could this happen?”
“It’s a terrible thing.”
“That’s true.”
The team leaders who were watching the scene said with their mouths that they felt sorry, but with a few exceptions, they all had bright smiles on their faces.
‘It’s funny.’
Up until this point and beyond, it was all planned out so that even if the Shin Jin-kwang line or the neutral faction had opposed the first motion of no confidence, or even if the Shin Jin-ho line had not agreed to the second motion of no confidence, it would have been a close race, but in the end, both would have ended up winning.
But since it was judged to be tilted, I didn’t think they would change the line like this and openly vote for it.
‘Should I say that he is excellent at sensing danger? Or should I say that the guild is a paradise for lynxes?’
Or maybe it’s because Shin Jin-kwang and Shin Jin-ho were so stupid that they were waiting for an opportunity and then the opportunity came.
‘Did I misjudge a little?’
I was thinking of using this to clean up the inside of the guild.
In this case, it was difficult to even decide.
Even so, it won’t have even 1% effect on what you want to do.
If the expectations were off, there was room for correction.
‘That’s too bad, by the way.’
I felt a little sorry for Team Leader 7.
He had collected and prepared quite a bit of evidence for this vote of no confidence, so he seemed to have planned to blow it up at the last minute when the votes were tied and take all the credit for it.
When I actually opened the lid, I became one of the team leaders who couldn’t say a word properly and just got swept up in the atmosphere and gave their approval.
‘No, that’s not it.’
If I had come out here, I would have been the first to be eliminated.
In a way, it was as if the other team leaders saved Team Leader 7.
Of course, Team 7 Leader Gong Cheol-min, who was unaware of this fact, just laughed in vain at the other team leaders’ rat-like behavior.
“Then, we will next try to elect a guild leader. If you have any good ideas about the election, please speak up.”
“Rather than that, how about leaving the positions of guild leader and vice-guild leader vacant? Honestly, if we fight among ourselves here, wouldn’t it just be exhausting?”
From noble mtl dot com
“Then what are you saying we should do? In any case, wouldn’t it be right to have a guild leader?”
“therefore…”
“No, that’s nonsense…”
The people the team leaders were keeping an eye on were not Shin Jin-kwang or Shin Jin-ho.
They feared Shin Yang-cheon, who was known to be missing to the outside world but living in hiding within the country.
However, it was half-established that Shin Yang-cheon was dead, and he was blown away with his bloodline as an excuse.
The team leaders began to plan a bright future for their guild as if nothing was out of the question.
‘Because delusion is a law of freedom.’
There was no intention of regulating even delusions.
By the way, originally, the fact that I was the illegitimate child of the previous guild leader should have been revealed first when Shin Jin-kwang and Shin Jin-ho were around.
Up until now there has been no word, and even after several signals were given to keep the promise, those who had made the promise did not respond.
‘I guess so.’
It was clear from the beginning that they had no intention of keeping their promise.
“Are you still here? Your work is done, so go out.”
Instead, he just tried to chase me away.
It wasn’t because of the wealth.
Rather, it was a question of distribution of power.
‘I understand.’
My country would have been like that too.
Even though 15 or 16 may not seem like that much of a difference.
Once you reach the top 5 guilds, the gains you can make with a difference of 1 are enormous, so it was a natural reaction for a human being.
‘But even if I understand, what about Sinyangcheon?’
“Do you have anything to say?”
Let’s jump up and stand in silence.
One of the team leaders opened his mouth.
“No, I have nothing more to say.”
“Really? Then don’t just stand there and leave. You’re disturbing the meeting.”
“But someone said he had something to tell you.”
“what?”
To my words, he looked as if he didn’t understand what I was saying.
“Which person?”
“What is that…”
It was the same for other team leaders.
“no way?”
However, some of them looked puzzled and then made expressions of incredulity as if they had come up with a possibility.
“Let me introduce you.”
Whatever.
I stood in front of the conference room door and opened my mouth.
“You are the S-class hero and the leader of the Shinwha Guild, the former guild leader of Shinyangcheon.”
The door opened.
**
The method by which Shin Jin-kwang became the guild leader of the Shinwha Guild without being officially appointed as the successor was very simple.
This was because, in the absence of a will and by taking advantage of the blood relationship with Sinyangcheon, he was able to receive a share of the guild by dividing the property according to the statutory inheritance portion under civil law.
It was the same with Shin Jin-kwang being kicked out of his position as guild leader just like before, without even being able to properly protest and just yelling.
Evidence of deliberate murder would have disqualified him from inheriting.
It was the same for Shin Jin-ho.
Anyway, that’s the situation.
Shin Yang-cheon died, and his blood relatives lost all the shares they had held through the murder.
That’s why the team leaders were able to act like that.
It was something that could be fantasized about.
But what if the rightful owner of the stake, the true owner of the myth, returns?
“It looks like everyone was having fun and chatting. What were they talking about? Shouldn’t you tell this old man about it?”
The answer was simple.
“”…””
It was silent.
When Shin Yangcheon appeared through the door I opened, he crushed the crowd with his enormous mana.
The team leaders, who had been chatting happily until just now, were actually dreaming, so they kept their mouths shut and bowed their heads as if they were dead, nodding to each other as if to ask what was going on.
“Why aren’t you talking? Is this old man’s voice too soft?”
“”no!!!””
Even at the sound of Shin Yang-cheon’s small voice, the team leaders would jump up and stand at attention, then shout loudly.
“Then I guess you can tell me. What kind of interesting story were you talking about? Team Leader 1, tell me.”
“No… that’s…”
The designated team leader was shaking and unable to give a proper answer.
That’s understandable, because what happened here would make even the most gentle people angry at the sound of it.
This was because he knew very well what would happen if he did it to Shin Yang-cheon, who was called the ‘unhuman’.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?”
“that is…”
“I guess you’ve gotten older and started to lose your voice. If that’s the case, Team Leader 2, speak up.”
“Oh, yes… that…”
“Team Leader 4.”
“That’s gross…”
“Team Leader 5.”
“…”
The team leaders who were called in turn were unable to say anything.
“These so-called Shinhwa team leaders are all mute.”
Shin Yang-cheon showed a faint anger.
“Can I tell you something?”
It was your turn.
I opened my mouth, pushing aside the mute team leaders.
“Tell me.”
Shin Yangcheon nodded.
“No matter what, Guild Leader, what a child says…”
“you’re right. “
Of course, there were those who tried to interfere.
“Then would you like to explain it again?”
“”…””
It was just a tail wagging the tail of Sinyangcheon’s anger.
“Um, um, this is what happened here.”
The explanation that started like that didn’t last long.
“…That’s what happened here.”
However, by the time the explanation was over, the team leaders’ faces had turned pale, almost as if they were pale.
“Is it true?”
Shin Yang-cheon looked at the team leaders and asked.
“That’s…”
“I won’t tell you twice from now on. Is it true?”
“…It’s a conspiracy. We created this place to drive out the two brothers, Shin Jin-kwang and Shin Jin-ho, who have betrayed humanity. We had absolutely no other intentions.”
“That’s right. The reason we discussed the guild leader position was because we couldn’t leave the position vacant. We were just trying to come up with a way.”
“Yes, it’s a conspiracy. In the first place, what would someone who only did an internship or something like that in mythology say they know?”
“That’s a lie.”
Then the team leaders protested as if it was unfair.
Then he started swearing at me and telling me that everything I said was a lie.
“That’s a lie.”
Shin Yang-cheon trailed off.
“That’s right. It’s false.”
“You quickly tell the guild master that the message was delivered incorrectly. Hurry up!”
Do you take that as a positive sign?
Some team leaders vehemently agreed and forced me to correct my words.
“So are you saying that my son lied?”
“That’s right. That’s a lie.”
“Yes. The guild master’s son… son?”
But at Shin Yang-cheon’s subsequent words, the team leaders’ hands that had been swinging their swords lost their strength and they looked as if they had misheard something.
Then he looked back and forth between Shin Yang-cheon and me.
“What do you mean…”
“Son… you say?”
“Didn’t you know? This child is my son.”
Shin Yang-cheon tapped my shoulder.
“”yes?””
The team leaders simultaneously reacted as if it was nonsense.
That’s understandable, even a grandson wouldn’t understand, so how could a son?
They had never heard such a story before, and even though they knew Shin Yang-cheon’s age, they seemed unable to understand it, both intellectually and emotionally.
“To be exact, an illegitimate child. Isn’t that right, Team Leader 7?”
Regardless, Shin Yang-cheon looked at Team Leader 7.
“…Yes, that’s right. Lee Seong-hyeon, no, Shin Seong-hyeon is the son of the guild leader, Shin Yang-cheon.”
And then Team Leader 7 thought about it for a moment.
Realizing that this was the last rope, I quickly picked it up.
“I’ll ask you again. Do you believe my son lied?”
There was no answer.
