Chapter 237
“Well. My announcement yesterday went about as well as I expected.” Yeon Ho-Ryeong smiled. “Good hunting, and be sure to take care of my sons from now on.”
“Rest assured, Master Yeon. Leave them to me.”
“Good. Likewise, whenever you’re ready to visit the beastman kingdom, seek me out, and I will guide you.”
“About that... Is it true what they say about King’s Tears? Can the King of the Beastmen really give such a thing?”
“Nonsense. I don’t know where that rumor started, but no one has ever met the King of the Beastmen. There’s no basis for it.”
“I see.” Jae-Hyeok nodded respectfully. Inwardly, he thought, If no one has met the king, the rumor might really be false, but it hasn’t been disproven, either...
“Alright, I’m off.”
Smiling, Yeon Ho-Ryeong turned and stepped from the health store, only to freeze and turn slightly, glancing at Jae-Hyeok from the corner of his eye.
“Oh, and do not disappoint me. I’m lending you my name, but if you go picking fights on behalf of Ocean, our next conversation will be... different.”
From his flat tone, Jae-Hyeok didn’t have to see Yeon Ho-Ryeong’s face to know his smile had disappeared. Even so, Jae-Hyeok’s expression remained pleasant.
“Naturally, I’ll keep your words in mind.”
There was a saying that children were the mirror of their parents.
