Chapter 130: Ep.130 Frozen
Ep.130 Frozen* *TN: Got serious, or frozen at the situation
Last time.
After meeting with Stardus, Shadow Walker, and the president of the association.
Icicle, Lee Seola returned to her office, she was lost in thought.
“…Whew.”
She tipped the bottle from her desk as if she were used to it, and poured a glass of wine.
Taking a sip of the purple liquid, she recalled what had happened earlier.
‘…Shadow Walker took the side of Egostic in front of Stardus.’
It was strange.
However, this is what really happened.
“…Why on earth?”
What Shadow Walker said is evident.
Stardus almost inferred that someone else, exactly Egostic, had knocked down the monster, not herself.
Shadow Walker refuted this. He said he took a look himself, but there was no one around.
“….A lie.”
But it has to be a lie.
Because she heard from Egostic that he shot from the roof of a nearby building that day.
In other words, if Shadow Walker really looked around that day, he would have seen Egostic, so it’s a lie.
If he didn’t look around, he lied even though he knew nothing, just false.
In conclusion, Shadow Walker’s words seem to lie anyway.
“…Then, why would he tell such a lie?”
Lee Seola mumbled while stroking the wine glass.
Shadow Walker, why did he lie? What was he thinking?
“…..”
Lee Seola.
She already dominated the entire Yuseong Enterprise at a young age, and she’s now slowly swallowing South Korea day by day, so she can be proud of her ability and life skills.
Of course, her plan to conquer South Korea has been cracking lately, but anyway…
She’s the best one when it comes to sense, so she was able to quickly reach the truth.
“…Egostic reached out to Shadow Walker.”
All right.
This could be true.
“…..”
He already has her though, so why?
She was emotional at that thought for a moment but soon calmed down with another sip of wine.
…Yeah. As she was the first one he reached out to, nothing’s weird about him being in contact with another A-class hero. He only said he wouldn’t touch Stardus, but never said the others.
“…Haa.”
Lee Seola sighed.
…What is this feeling?
Yeah, it’s nervousness and anxiety.
Anxiety that Egostic could be taken away from her.
Honestly,
Because Egostic doesn’t really trust her.
Just like that.
President’s office on the top floor of Yuseong Enterprise headquarters, Korea’s top corporation.
Where the warm sun comes in behind.
Lee Seola, dressed in a suit, was lost in thought, smoothing her sky-blue hair.
Lee Seola. It’s been a while since her last regular meeting with Egostic.
In fact, when she met him, they spent more time chatting with each other than talking about work. ‘What’s wrong with you these days?’ ‘I feel happy’, ‘I’m tired’… Just trivial matters to share with a friend.
And as time went by.
Lee Seola, slowly towards Da-in. She realized that she couldn’t wait to be with him.
Her life has always been about work and slander, but only when she met him, could she forget all that and talk with him with a pure laugh. Because he was one of the few people who treated her humanely rather than as a special, high-ranking person like others.
And, to her surprise, she doesn’t know why.
He seemed to “understand” herself as Lee Seola the most. She doesn’t know why.
Also, his ability.
‘…Honestly, without Da-in, Korea certainly would already collapse several times.’
In fact, in her eyes, Lee Seola, currently South Korea is very deformed.
It feels like a huge terrorist attack that suddenly can’t handle has exploded in recent years. Each and every one of them is a kind of terror that can almost semi-destroy Korea.
Egostic blocked everything, so it all worked out well.
On the contrary, without Egostic, it could collapse like a sand castle at any time.
“…That cannot happen.”
Thus
Egostic is a precious being that can’t be exchanged for anything.
For Lee Seola as an individual, and for South Korea as a whole.
But if there’s a problem.
‘…Why can’t you trust me?’
That’s it.
He came very conservative when approaching her.
It took months to know his real name, and months to know his face.
Even now, she doesn’t even know where he lives. He knows where she lives though.
‘…I guess he thinks that I could betray him…’
He has a distinctly wary nuance of her.
Lee Seola was very upset about that.
Why would she betray him? Considering what she has received from him so far and what will happen, she never has that intention. No matter what he does. In the first place, Lee Seola was even more so as she wasn’t a moral person.
Lee Seola was going to go with him for the rest of her life.
But why is he wary of her too?
Her reality is she cannot even visit him because she doesn’t know his address even though he’s now on his bed as he cannot move around.
‘…I wonder if someone has framed her anything.’
Feeling depressed again with that thought, she soon gulped down the bottle again.
As she’s emptying almost a bottle by herself, she feels like she’s getting a little tipsy.
“…..”
Lee Seola’s cheeks turned red, she looked at her cell phone for a moment.
Yeah, if you stay like this and you’re falling behind.
Even if you make a sudden leap, you need to bump into him.
She’s drunk anyway, so if things don’t go well, she might just use alcohol as an excuse for her nonsense.
With that determination, she called Da-in.
***
The phone call with Da-in worked out unexpectedly.
It seems like being emotional and shedding a bit of tears is worth a try.
Lee Seola was finally invited to his house.
….Of course, she blushed whenever she thought about the process.
Maybe it’s because the result turned out well.
Her first impression of stepping into a valley was.
“…Wow.”
His house is extremely huge.
It looks like a huge mansion that dozens of people can easily enter.
Lee Seola’s house isn’t small, but the mansion where he lives is made of wood, giving an old-fashioned pressure. Like a castle.
The door opened.
A woman greeted Lee Seola.
“Hello, you’re Lee Seola, right?”
“Oh… Yes, hello.”
“Hello, I’m Lee Soobin.”
A woman named Lee Soobin greeted her with a gracious smile.
And Lee Seola, who greeted her with the same smile, was startled inside.
…What the? Why is this woman in his house?
Oh, it’s for nursing, right? It should be.
But her prediction, ever since she entered the house, was completely shattered.
“…Hello.”
“…..”
“Haha, hello!”
Countless women greeted her as she walked toward the room where he was resting.
A woman with orange hair who looks at her as if she doesn’t like her, a girl with silver hair with a wary look, and a woman with a mysterious smile wearing a shaman suit…? Even a woman wearing the same thing.
They’re all female members of Ego Stream.
And just by saying a short greeting in the living room and passing by, she could realize.
That outfit, that comfortable atmosphere, that lifestyle.
They’re not here for a visit.
They live here.
She was thrown into great confusion.
…Why? Why are a man and so many women living together in the same house? Is there a reason?
With that in mind.
She opened the door and faced Dain lying in bed.
“Hi, Da-in.”
“Oh… Hi, Seola. You come right away, huh…?
As soon as he called, she showed up the next day, so he looked a little surprised.
As she looked at him greeting her by putting the laptop aside, she was looking at the bed on his side, she said with a smile.
“Yes. I’m visiting your house for the first time, so of course, I have to hurry.”
She smiled.
…
Ah.
You can’t bring this up now.
Lee Seola, you didn’t come here to say this. You came to visit Da-in.
…Even so.
Still, she can ask this one thing.
With that smile.
Lee Seola spoke up and asked Da-in, who was lying down.
“…Anyway, I was looking on my way to the room. There are a lot of different women in your house. Do you guys live together?”
“…Haha. It just happened.”
She turned her eyes awkwardly at her own question.
She also felt embarrassed, too. Deep inside, she waited for him to deny it.
“….”
“…Oh, Seola, don’t you think it’s getting a bit chilly here? Ha ha.”
It’s kind of weird.
***
“President, did you have a good trip?”
“…Can you bring me the 56-year-old wine?”
“Yes, sir.”
Lee Seola, who received a bottle from her secretary, sat in her office and quietly drank a glass of wine.
“…..”
She had a lot of conversations with Da-in today.
But in fact, she doesn’t need all of that but only one piece of information she got.
The relationships between Da-in and Ego Stream’s members are close.
To the point where it’s hard for her to ignore.
“….Yeah, nothing is easy in the world.”
It’s been a long time since Da-in had his eyes on her.
Now she realized. That he’s actually more of a hero than a villain.
But it’s not a good thing to get involved with those villains.
“…..”
Lee Seola brought alcohol back to her mouth as she recalled the female members who were looking at her with wary gazes.
Okay.
So it’s like that.
Lee Seola’s brain was already pickled in alcohol and began to go unreasonably.
…Egostic, he was obsessed with the Stardus.
Yeah. He’s more suitable to be a hero.
However, having her is not enough. The competitors are mostly his villain members.
What should I do?
‘Yeah… did he say he was going on a trip next time? ‘
“…..”
With that in mind.
Lee Seola was looking at Shin Haru’s number without realizing it.
Alliance, alliance.
Stardus doesn’t know who Egostic really is anyway, so there’s also the derecognition device.
“…..”
Lee Seola quietly smirked.
Okay.
Let’s go with that.
***
“Haa… Something’s sketchy. What if something happens on this trip like last time?”
“Da-in, don’t say bad things.”
Gosh, but I feel chilly.
