The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Chapter 42 - My God, it wasn't a made-up story (2)

"Wow! You are persistent." Lee Gun spoke to a man in his thirties as if the man were pathetic. "I don't want a dude to stalk me like this."

This left the man in front of him dumbfounded.

"I'm not trying to stalk you." The man blocking Lee Gun's path was none other than the Gemini general, Choi Sunghyuk. He was accompanied by a hidden person, the guard who had accompanied Chun Sungjae that day. The guard was a pretty well-known power mage.

Choi Sunghyuk was preventing Lee Gun from heading toward the cafe, and that was why Lee Gun looked at him with contempt. 'Didn't they say he's one of the two strongest people in Korea?'

Lee Gun had been the hero of Korea. After his death, Korea continued to gain a strong batch of S-rank Users. One of the two strongest of them was the Leo general; he was under the Leo Saint, who was considered the strongest in close-quarters combat. The other one was the Gemini general. He was under the Gemini Saint, who was the strongest in magic.

The Gemini general was known as a go-getter. He was famous for dragging the Gemini temple to the first rank in Korea when Korea had been adversarial toward the Gemini temple in the past.

'In other words, he's tenacious.'

However, this piece of information didn't matter to Lee Gun. He chewed on a baguette and kicked toward Choi Sunghyuk. "I'm busy, asshole. Get out of my way!"

Choi Sunghyuk laughed in an easygoing manner. A simple kick was nothing in front of his strongest magical barrier. "I'm also a busy man. I have to guard the Saintess today— Kuhk!"

When the general caught Lee Gun's foot, his face immediately turned pale.

'What the hell.' He had used a magical barrier, yet he felt extreme pain wash over him.

Lee Gun tilted his head. "You're guarding the Saintess? You?"

Lee Gun had held back when after hearing Choi Sunghyuk's words. If he hadn't held, the ribs of this man would have been crushed into pieces. He had put very little power in his kick, yet the kick had still caused damage.

It was unknown if Choi Sunghyuk was aware of this; he just smiled through his pain as he spoke. "The Saintess's press conference will start at seven in the evening. It will be held at the Gangnam exchange. At the request of the Saintess, the generals of the temples will gather to guard her."

The Saintess was going to speak about what had happened to Lee Gun twenty years ago. In truth, the generals had quickly accepted her request because they were curious as to what she was going to say.

Sophie had wanted to do the press conference at her holy ground. However, Lee Gun had rejected that idea. The conference was now being held in Korea, but...

'She called in the generals to be her shield?'

In the end, It didn't matter. Lee Gun was about to leave when Choi Sunghyuk desperately kept him in place.

The general said, "You're going to sign a contract with the Gemini temple, right?"

"What?"

"The Gemini temple spent millions of dollars to purchase auction items for you. You wouldn't go back on your word, right?"

These words surprised Lee Gun, and he looked towards the hidden guard. 'Did he not have a talk with Choi Sunghyuk?'

The guard was on the same team as Sungjae. The previous day, he had gone looking for Lee Gun. He had been worried about Sungjae, and so, he had desperately asked that question to Lee Gun.
