Chapter 137 - If You Set It on Fire, Blessings Will Come Your Way (1)

If You Set It on Fire, Blessings Will Come Your Way (1)

1.

- Huh?  It ended?  Did we catch them all?  Huh?  Maeung?  What the hell?

The footage ended after 3 seconds.  The footage faded out as if it was a mirage.  Then two Users appeared afterwards.

It was Amohng and Ken.  These two characters were known to have the most popular Warlord-related Ranking show, and their lips were twitching.  It was as if they were trying to suppress their laughter.

“……if we have to pick the best scene of the year, I'll pick this scene without hesitation.”

Pfffft!

As Ahmong was speaking, Ken couldn't help, but let out a laugh.  Ahmong followed his example.  He started to laugh too.

“Don't be like this, Ken.  I'm barely holding it back.”

“I'm sorry.  Ah.  It really is funny.  I'm not saying the scene itself is funny.  The situation itself was so ridiculous that I couldn't help, but laugh.”

“It happens sometimes.  An event is so absurd that it is funny.  Did you watch it live, Ken?”

“Of course, I saw it live.  I was frozen for a brief moment when I saw this scene.”

They exchanged some words, and they were able to regain their cool.  After they let out an appropriate amount of laughter, they continued their conversation.

“In many ways, it was a very memorable scene.  There are some, who think the scene was staged as an attempt to put his name in the headlines.  What do you think, Ken?”

“If this scene was really done on purpose, the Hahoe Mask should immediately take off his Hahoe Mask, and he should go straight to Hollywood.  If so, maybe we'll see him in the Oscars next year.  Even Al Pacino couldn't pull off this kind of acting.”

“Well, we'll immediately start our Ranking Show. First, let us check who came in 1st in the Paid Video Sales category.  The owner of the first place is....”

- Huh?  It ended?  Did we catch them all?  Huh?  Maeung?  What the hell?

In a flash, the 3 second video was replayed again.

Pffft!

Ken once again let out a laugh.  Ahmohng kept poking at Ken's side.  Afterwards, Ken was barely able to read his lines.

“Yes. The hero who earned 1st place by recording a sales of 101 million is the Hahoe Mask in the Immoral Prince Raid.”

At that moment, Ahn-jaehyun was watching Ahmong and Ken's Ranking show, and he was massaging his eyes with his two hands.  He wasn't massaging his eyes from being tired.

‘This is driving me nuts.’

This shameful clip was something he wanted to forget, but it was being replayed in front of millions of people. The hands over his eyes were also a method to avoid looking at the replay.  Of course, it was a preposterous way to avoid looking at it.

‘Shit.  Of all the things....’

At that moment, Ahn-jaehyun once again reminisced on what had happened.

Maeung’s appearance had been foretold.  Although, it was a bit of a surprise that Maeung chose to end the Immoral Prince.  It was a scenario where he had expected Maeung to show up when the Immoral Prince was close to death.  He had expected Maeung to give a clue about the ruined kingdom.
