46. ​​I don’t know yet (1)

The next day, he was drinking tea in disbelief after picking a fight.

There were two kids around the same age as Myeongil sitting next to Jegal Hyeon, and it seemed like they had chosen our group based on their personalities.

The kids around Myeongil’s age glared at Myeongil. After all, it was Myeongil, not me, who provoked him.

Zhuge Yan was looking at this situation with interest, and Zhuge Xuan was still glaring at me. I scratched my face in embarrassment.

“I’m not confident.”

“Then that won’t do.”

This time, unexpectedly, Myeongil opened his mouth.

“When a shaman’s disciple says he has no confidence.”

Is that shaman so great that she would fool herself? I wanted to ask, but decided to just hold back. I’m an adult, so I should hold back.

“If you say let’s see, let’s see, aren’t you being too free with your mouth?”

“Yes. You should also be moderate in ignoring the Zhuge family. Who are you to say that our brother is defeated?”

The children of the Jegal family were furious at Myeong-il, but Myeong-il glanced at them and spoke in an indifferent tone.

“Don’t you know who I am?”

At those words, the faces of the children turned red. He knew who Myeong-il was.

Is that the kind of spirit that a disciple of the non-partisan faction should have? It was truly a strange experience to see the sense of intimidation emanating from a child of about ten years old.

“You may be the most talented reporter in the nonpartisan faction, but we won’t be easy either!”

“I never took you for granted.”

Myeongil drank a lot of tea.

“You’re just not where I’m looking.”

I looked at Myeong-il as if it was new. He was a quiet kid who knew how to provoke so strongly. But Myeong-il didn’t seem to think it was provocation. Perhaps, Myeong-il really looked up to him with admiration and there were no little kids in the world.

The eyes of Jegal Se and Myeong-il collided, and my eyes and Jegal Hyeon collided.

“Okay. That’s enough.”

Zhuge Yan clapped his hands to liven up the atmosphere.

“Since we’re going to have a duel anyway, there’s no need to waste your energy here. Of course, the purpose of this duel is not to test your skills, but to gain insight into each other’s martial arts.”

“When is that rain?”

“When the master returns. The master has to be present.”

I nodded as I asked the question. It was a random thought, but I thought that even though he was still young, Zhuge Yan was good at distinguishing between public and private affairs.

If he is already in charge of the vice-ministerial office of the royal family, then he is a direct descendant, but he is the head of the household and not the father. It must be because it is an official position.

“First, I’ve prepared a place for the shaman’s guests at the outer garden. You can rest there. When you leave, an attendant will guide you.”

“Yes, yes.”

I was about to push the chair back and leave. It was best to quickly get out of the uncomfortable seat. At that moment, Zhuge Yan’s Baek Woo-seon blocked my way.

“Ah. Muk So-hyeop, can I talk to you for a moment?”

Before I could even complain, everyone except me and Zhuge Yan left. Zhuge Yan refilled my empty teacup.

“Do you like me?”

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

“It seems unusual to insist on holding on to a disciple who is embarrassing to be around. I will decline in advance. My ideal type is someone with a better personality than Lady Zhuge Liang.”

Zhuge Yan looked at him as if he was dumbfounded. His eyes were as if he was not even angry because it was such nonsense.

“I don’t really have an ideal type, but I would marry into a family that would be helpful to Sega. That wouldn’t be you.”

“It’s been a while since I felt like showing filial piety to my father. Thank you. For taking care of my family as well.”

“The madness has reached the brain. It seems that even the Hubei god can’t protect himself.”

“It’s better than Muhan Sanghoe, which covets someone else’s rice bowl and ends up losing its own.”

I saw Zhuge Yan’s pupils dilate for a moment. As expected of a man with a stubborn face, he didn’t show it, but he couldn’t fool me.

Zhuge Yan shook his small fist and then let out this evil voice.

“Did you know that the Jegal family is behind Muhansanghoe?”

“I don’t know about that.”

“Would things have been different if I had known?”

“sure.”

“Now you know the topic… … .”

“I should have taken more rice bowls. It was such a shame.”

Zhuge Yan covered his face with his white feather fan. It seemed like he had been hit a little while ago. It was difficult to hold on to his facial muscles.

Jegal Yeon, who seemed to have fixed his expression, lowered Baek Woo-sun back down onto his thigh.

“That’s not what I was trying to say.”

“Then what is it?”

“Please come out of the Dongho Store and enter the Muhan Store.”

“Infinite Challenge kicked me out?”

“It’s different now. All the higher-ups have been replaced with smart people.”

I was slightly surprised by Zhuge Yan’s cold words. To be honest, even though Dongho Trading Company is making progress, it is still in the realm of reconstruction. It’s not like Muhan Trading Company has failed so far. That boldness and coolness in changing things right away. As expected, she was the iron-faced, stubborn person I know.

“I’m giving you a chance now. Of course, the top of that company will be treated specially at Muhan Sanghoe.”

“For the purpose of appeasing the Ubudo Eosa of the Dochalwon?”

“It’s a good thing my ears are open.”

Zhuge Yan smiled confidently. Of course, her words were not wrong. Zhuge Se-ga did not speak with two mouths, and it was quite possible for him to give work to one person. In fact, if that were the case, Hwiyeongsangdan would grow even faster than it is now.

But she said it was an opportunity, and I took that as a request. If you ask me in such a blunt tone, the answer is set.

“I don’t like it.”

Of course, Zhuge Yan’s expression hardened as he thought he had been given the opportunity.

“Do you know what it means to oppose the Zhuge Clan in Hubei? The Wudang faction may be stronger in terms of martial arts, but in terms of regional influence and everything else, the Zhuge Clan is stronger.”

“I know that, but I don’t like it.”

“You still don’t know what you’re talking about. I see that you didn’t create the capital yourself, but borrowed it from your disciples to create the conglomerate. If the conglomerate fails, do you have the ability to repay that huge amount of money?”

“Because the ability is to keep from failing.”

“The commercial district of Hubei is controlled by the Zhuge Family. It’s not a big deal to crush that small group of merchants, and it could even make the Wudang faction uncomfortable. The Wudang faction wouldn’t want to embarrass us over a mere disciple, and neither would we. So let’s just do something about that.”

“Even though I’m a shaman, I’m a layperson. I don’t have a strong sense of belonging to the shaman. Even if you blush because of me, it’s not my fault.”

The heated argument paused for a moment. We also needed time to breathe. We each took a sip of tea as if we had reached a truce by mutual agreement.

Zhuge Yan let out a sigh. It seemed as if he felt a hint of sympathy towards me, as if I had made a huge mistake.

“If we can’t communicate, there’s nothing we can do. I have no interest in talking to animals.”

“Sometimes beasts are better than people.”

“But I knew this would happen. You don’t know your subject.”

“Really? Then I guess I was just talking a lot for no reason.”

“That’s why I called you to Jegal Se-ga. So that you can see for yourself. What kind of place is Jegal Se-ga? And then you’ll regret it. You dared to come here with a sickle.”

“I don’t like it.”

As I drove the wedge in for the last time, Zhuge Yan’s expression finally crumpled. It was amazing that he had managed his expression up to this point.

I didn’t reject Zhuge Yan’s proposal because of his speech. Zhuge Yan’s proposal was worth considering. There was no reason for me to become an enemy of Zhuge Yan. She didn’t lie.

However, I was already known in the commercial world as the person who started the Dongho Trading Company in Infinite. If I, like that, go to Infinite Trading Company, what will happen to the trust in me?

The reason why people who were very successful suddenly fall down is because they thoughtlessly climbed steps that they thought were trivial in the past. It’s the same reason why even a well-designed cylinder cannot stand on a sphere.

“Get out. You’ll realize later what a huge opportunity you missed. And at the same time, the disaster you caused that could have been prevented.”

“May I make a counter suggestion?”

As I was about to leave, an idea suddenly occurred to me, so I grabbed the doorknob and turned around.

“If you invest in Whiyoung Group now, we will return this amount to you even more. No matter how much it is.”

“I didn’t want to hear it in the first place, but after hearing it, I realized it was even more worthless.”

“You’ll find out later. What a huge opportunity you missed.”

Only after Zhuge Yan’s face turned into a ferocious evil spirit did I open the door and slip out.

Although the interior of the manor was still shrouded in fog, the breeze was refreshing.

***

Zhuge Yan held back from throwing the teacup at the door. It would have been different in other places, but this teacup was also bought for entertaining guests, so it was the property of the outside world. It was impossible to carelessly damage the property of the outside world.

A large man came down from the ceiling. The direct line always had an undercover escort like this. He had been with them on previous trips abroad, but when he was in Sega, he usually moved around like this in hiding.

“Are you okay, Your Majesty?”

“I got in trouble for holding back my swearing.”

Won smiled bitterly. Even he, who had been quietly listening from the ceiling, clenched his fists as Mukhwiyoung spoke, making him want to hit her.

“Just do it. Be cool.”

“Okay. I’ll curse alone when no one is listening. That’s the dignity of a noble family.”

“Is that so?”

Usually, Zhuge Yan did not bend his opinions. The only people he would bend his opinions to were those in higher positions than him.

“Tell Hyun-i to step on him as painfully as possible. I don’t care if he ends up with a cripple on one side or the other.”

“It’s common to become disabled during a fight.”

“Yeah. Hyun-i won’t support it, right?”

Although Jegal Hyun is evaluated as having lower talent than other Sega’s later generations, the fact that he received high-level elixirs and education for nearly 20 years is an undeniable factor.

“I can never lose. Last time at the guest house, you were the one who didn’t react at all when I moved.”

“yes?”

On the other hand, Yuan has one of the best talents in Zhuge Liang. If that’s the case, then it must be so.

“But don’t let your guard down until the very end. It’s okay to lose to other people, but not to that bastard.”

It wasn’t just because he was feeling down that Zhuge Yan said that. Even though they had fame and fortune, they were only about ten years old. The secret battle between Zhuge Xian and Mok Hwi-yeong, who were somewhat older, was bound to attract more attention.

The exchange was invited by the Zhuge family, so the Zhuge family had to have a smiling result. That was an obligation on the part of the outside world. Otherwise, they would have to face the wrath of the family head.

“Lastly, let’s check the unarmed status. Where did you say the master is?”

“I have just received a message that you are coming down from Yongzhong Mountain.”

“But it’ll take some time.”

Zhuge Yan made a tense face. Yuan looked at her with pity. She was always arrogant, but she became tense when Gaju was mentioned.

Just then, someone opened the door to the love house.

“The master has arrived!”

Zhuge Yan glared at Yuan. Yuan blinked.
