Chapter 250: Turn the Table (2)
Someone was envious of me now. No, this wasn’t a feeling that could be expressed as envy. Jealousy. Yes, jealousy was more fitting—a feeling as seething as gu poison.
This isn’t the first time, though.
Unable to leave the first floor, many Hunters spent their days anxiously waiting for the moment they received their Skills. That alone made countless people already quite jealous of me.
I know that.
There were articles praising me. People asked for my autograph. They also pointed at me and whispered as I walked down the streets. I quite enjoyed this tsunami of attention.
I looked at the Viper.
Still... I can’t believe even someone like you is jealous of me.
If my past self saw me talking casually and making jokes with the Viper, he would have freaked out because something like that didn’t seem possible. That was how powerful and influential the Viper was in the Tower.
I stanned the High Rankers; they were my idols. Even though the leader of the idol group, Fire Emperor Yoo Soo-Ha, had retired due to an unfortunate incident and was preparing to become a trainee again, I still idolized the Viper deep down. He was shouting in all directions that he was jealous of me, all the while his aura boiled.
Witnessing that emotion right before my eyes, I couldn’t hold back my laughter anymore.
“Ah. Ahahaha, hahahaha! Hahahahaha, hah, hahahahahaha!”
