Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 1)

Chapter 106: Agitation and Fabrication (2)

"Lee Sang-hee, it looks like there is indeed a traitor within Bluesomeone who murdered our Guild Master."

Silence engulfed the guild's lobby as I finished speaking. Lee Sang-hee bit her Tips tightly, and Hwang Jeong-yeon, who knew about this in the first place, nodded grimly.

Meanwhile, those who were not involved looked around curiously. On the other hand, Lee Seolho and his followers all wore grim expressions.

I didn't need to call them traitors directly. My implication was enough.

'Because it's true.

Of course, agitation and fabrication wouldn't be enough to defeat them. The truth was needed as well, but the fabrication would prove to be just the right seasoning.

I, for one, was not a smart person. I just knew how to speak convincingly. It would be easy to know the right things to say by assessing the other person's disposition. If not, then it would be impossible to achieve the right scenario.

The reality was that ability played a huge role in a scenario such as this. If Lee Seolho were as good as me, then he wouldn't be facing this kind of situation at all.

The old men were all moving around restlessly.

"Trying to cause trouble... Now is not the right time, Lee Kiyoung."

"I understand where you're coming from, young man, but now is not the time to sit around and talk nonsense. Lee Sang-hee, let's head back and..."

However, Lee Sang-hee spoke firmly.

"No. I think I'd like to listen to what Kiyoung has to say."

"Ah, but..."

"I want to hear him speak," she insisted.

Fortunately, Lee Sang-hee was on our side. She was not stupid, either.

Perhaps she felt that something was off with the whole situation when the reinforcements did not arrive; it was obvious that wanted to stay away from the expedition.

She must have felt suspicious of them in the past, too. However, she had chosen to focus on her trust in them rather than the obvious. However...

'All one needs is some water and fertilizer to let the seed of doubt grow.'

"Some vested interests have a simple behavioral pattern. If they think that they are not benefitting anymore, they will try to take over. Some people like that are in Blue."

Of course, I didn't directly pertain to them, but I was sure everyone knew who I was talking about.

'Lee Seolho.

The one who acts the most suspicious ends up being more hated than the one who openly shows hostility.

For all it was worth, I had a talent for unsettling people. Currently, Seolho's face was bright red. Still, he had the nerve to discredit me.

"I think your imagination is a little too dramatic, haha..."

"Seolho, we are facing a very different Blue from before. Didn't you say you gave a huge contribution to Blue in the past? Exactly what contributions were they?"

Lee Seolho fell silent.

"You may have had to make extreme choices for your future and your guild. Perhaps you sought help from other guilds. Perhaps you felt inferior to someone. It is understandable to feel nervous since you've successfully led an alliance with a large guild in Lindel."

"What..."

"But to think you'd have the idea of being in cahoots with a large guild from another city... Nice try. For that, I'll give you 6 points."
