The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Chapter 30: Man whose name strikes fear (1)

When Lee Gun saw the photos, he burst out laughing. Everyone praised the Saintess so much that he had thought someone amazing had appeared in the past twenty years. "Ah! She's the Saintess?"

The appraiser was puzzled by Lee Gun's sneer. "That's odd! I heard that even Lee Gun fanatic Sungjae fancies her a bit."

"Is that so?"

"All men become fools in front of a beautiful woman."

The words made Lee Gun burst out in a loud laugh once again.

The appraiser tried to change the topic. "Ah! Of course, there is one other Saint that others consider the fairest of them all."

The appraiser was saying that one should respect other people's tastes. Lee Gun found it all absurd. 'At this point, it could be considered a disguise.'

Of course, Sophie looked different from twenty years ago. Her buckteeth and snaggletooth were gone. It was true that she had become very beautiful. If Lee Gun were being objective, her original appearance wasn't that bad at all either.

However...

'She can't hide her nature.'

In the first place, Lee Gun hated every member of the twelve Saints excluding Hugo. There were degrees to his hatred, and he classified the twelve Saints as fishbone, pests, and waste. Sophie was on the same level as a pest. Lee Gun couldn't treat the Saints as humans or categorize the eleven of them under normal categories.

He couldn't believe Sophie was the Saintess. 'She prioritized her skin-care appointment over saving the lives of people.'

That wasn't all.

'When the hell did she heal me?'

Sophie was a fraudulent healer and also a half-wit. As if that wasn't enough, she had treated lee Gun as a creature lower than human.

She routinely told him that she didn't want to touch him because he was a monster. She threatened to sue him every chance she got. This was the reason Lee Gun had learned about herbal medicine to heal himself. It seemed she hadn't even bothered to mention that.

'Well, it allowed me to expand my knowledge about miscellaneous subjects, and I did benefit greatly from all that knowledge.'

It seemed the appraiser knew the truth about the Saintess and Lee Gun as he continued to praise the latter. "Everyone claims that the Saintess used to heal Lee Gun. If so, why was Lee Gun-nim so well-versed in herbal medicine?"

Lee Gun cackled. The appraiser was speaking the truth.

"He used to gather ingredients using a meat cleaver. It was an awesome sight. You haven't levied until you've seen him work."

'Yes, yes. A person should be remembered for their exploits...'

"I especially loved it when Lee Gun-nim grabbed the Saintess's hair and made her cry. That was so refreshing."

'Uh? Did I do that?' Lee Gun seriously mulled over it, but in the end, it didn't matter.

He had forgotten why he had done it; probably, she had gaslighted him.

The appraiser badmouthed the Aquarius Saint. "I have no idea why the world knows her as the saintess of sacrifice and compassion."

It seemed he had noticed Sophie's personality when she commissioned him.
