Kang Jin-Ho narrowed his eyes. “What do you mean?”

“...! Ah!”
The person who figured out the meaning behind the Crimson King’s words wasn’t Kang Jin-Ho, but Lee Hyeon-Su.
He gasped, “Because there are two of you.”
“That’s right.”
A warm grin floated up on the Crimson King’s face. Judging from his smile, it seemed he viewed Lee Hyeon-Su in a favorable light now.
“The Azure King has always been a cautious man. Maybe too cautious. Not only is the Azure King not the adventurous type, but he also avoids creating dangerous situations for himself. Someone like that would never reveal himself with a variable called the Demon King in the mix.”
“Mm...”
“He might have tried everything at his disposal to eliminate me had I been here alone. However, that man cannot ignore the possibility of you helping me in the time of crisis, no matter how insignificant the odds are. The Azure King is that kind of person.”
Kang Jin-Ho replied unhurriedly. “You speak as if you know this Azure King inside out.”
