There was no room for disagreement. For him, the representatives selection wasn't a subject of discussion but a presentation.
“Speak now if you have a complaint.”
There was no way to express dissatisfaction towards such a fearsome killing intent. The kings knew Yoo Jonghyuk's strength and trembled without even thinking about rebellion. Ah, except for one person.
“G-Get lost! Move your feet!” Unfortunately, the self-styled President of Yeouido had never heard about the Supreme King. A politician was insensitive to rumours. “Why did you suddenly appear…?”
Kwajik!
“Kuaaack!” Yoo Hyunho screamed as his hand was crushed. “My hand! My hand!”
Kwajijik!
“Kuaaack! Bodyguards! Where are my bodyguards?”
Yoo Hyunho struggled for help but there was no one here who could help him. Yoo Jonghyuk's feet pressed against his back and soon after, Yoo Hyunho found it hard to breathe and passed out.
Once everything became calm, Yoo Jonghyuk opened his mouth. “I didn't think so. Then I will announce the roster.”
The faces of the kings became tense. Yoo Jonghyuk truly was great. Taking the reigns of power so easily…
The kings quickly fell from the 'picking' position to 'being picked.' I grabbed a beef jerky from the table and waited for Yoo Jonghyuk's words.
Min Jiwon stared blankly from next to me.
「 How can you be so calm? 」
I'm sorry but I was in a different situation from them. It was because I was someone Yoo Jonghyuk recognized as a 'companion.' He threatened me by saying that the oath was over but he did acknowledge me.
Yoo Jonghyuk opened his mouth. “The first one will naturally be me.”
Well, it was obvious. How could he not be on a list created by himself? Behind Yoo Jonghyuk, the rest of his party members had appeared. Lee Jihye and Lee Seolhwa.
Lee Hyunsung and Jung Heewon also looked inside with anxious eyes. In particular, Jung Heewon was about to jump inside and I stopped her with my eyes.
Yoo Jonghyuk continued. “The second person will be Lee Jihye.”
I thought the second one would be me so I was naturally surprised. Well, I originally wasn't his companion so his other party members might be disturbed if he called me first. He might look cold but he looked after his people. I could understand that heart.
Lee Jihye couldn't hide her joy as she smiled at me.
…Still, it was a bit annoying.
“The third is Lee Seolhwa.” Lee Seolhwa nodded and came forward.
Every time a person's name was called, the faces of the kings darkened. They all felt an ominous feeling. Yoo Jonghyuk's list was a fixed list.
「 There are seven people remaining. We still have a chance. 」
「 The Supreme King only has three party members. He will have to choose other people. 」
「 We are the strongest among the remaining people… 」
I could tell by their faces what they were thinking. Me? Of course, I wasn't worried. I would naturally be on the list. Maybe I would be next…
“The fourth one is Lee Hyunsung.”
…What? Lee Hyunsung became pale as his name was called.
I took a deep breath before saying to the King of Wanderers. “It has been a long time, Mother.”
