The Late Game Healer Is Way Too Strong – Chapter 42.1

“Can I get up now?”

“Oh, wait a minute, Senior.”

Hwang Jeong-gu handed Siwoo another file that was next to him.

“What’s this?”

“The case that came in is indeed Broker Jiang Chen, but your name was mentioned, Senior.”

“Mentioned?”

Siwoo skimmed the contents of the document.

As his eyes went down, his eyes and mouth gradually narrowed, and Hwang Jeong-gu gulped.

A very unpleasant complexion.

“S-Senior?”

“What.”

Hwang Jeong-gu didn’t know what to do with Siwoo’s cold reply.

It was scary to make eye contact, but he had to talk to avoid it.

“Th, th, although it’s uncomfortable. . .”

“Uh, it’s uncomfortable.”

“I-I’m sorry.”

Siwoo clicked his tongue.

What was Hwang Jeong-gu’s fault?

He just did as he was told from above.

It was annoying even if he had to go, but that didn’t make the existing irritation go away.

“Surely you didn’t recommend this?”

“No! Absolutely not!”

“Then?”

“Branch Manager Baek Geon-ho. . .”

Hwang Jeong-gu sold his boss’s name to survive.

If someone had to be hated anyway, it didn’t have to be him.

“Let’s see what this guy says.”

Siwoo glared at the document for a long time, as if he didn’t like it.

“So what are you going to do. . .”

“What do I do.”

“Then?”

“I’ll do it.”

Outskirts of Nuremberg, Germany.

A red-brick mansion built against a backdrop of a forest full of beech trees.

The mansion was magnificent, splendid, and majestic.

The garden was full of roses and tulips, and in the center was a 3m fountain that was so splendid that it captured everyone’s attention.

It was a sight to behold.

“Now, let’s enjoy dinner!”

The people gathered in the garden talked over a full meal of food and dessert and a variety of wines.

A meeting attended by branch managers of HSIU from over twenty countries.

In addition, the atmosphere was even more ripe with the participation of German ministers and politicians.

“Baek Geon-ho. . .”

Siwoo made a shitty expression on the balcony of the second floor of the mansion.

Below, Baek Geon-ho and branch managers from other countries could be seen chatting.

There was some food and wine on the balcony table, but Siwoo didn’t touch it.

“Aren’t you going to eat? I’ll eat it all by myself?”

“I’m not eating. You eat it all.”

Marco from France shrugged at Siwoo’s answer and began to eat cheese and wine.

“Oh, this wine must be from our country! This savory and astringent tannin, the fruity scent of well-aged oak barrels!”

Siwoo thought about taking out the voice translator but held back.

Whether he could hear it well or not, it was just as noisy.

The people gathered here had voice translation machines plugged into their ears, and so did the bodyguards of the HSIU branch managers.

Siwoo came to serve as his escort with Baek Geon-ho’s ‘mention’.

It was something that could have been refused, but it was better than not receiving support because he was hated.

“Siwoo, what are you doing alone? Eat with us!”

Martinez from Mexico, who had come to guard the first floor, asked cheerfully.

Some countries’ translations were incomplete, so they sounded strange.

“You guys eat. I’m full.”

【𝕀’𝕞 𝕙𝕦𝕟𝕘𝕣𝕪! ℍ𝕦𝕣𝕣𝕪 𝕦𝕡 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕖𝕒𝕥! 𝕆𝕙, 𝕥𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕓𝕒𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣𝕕 𝕚𝕤 𝕖𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕚𝕥 𝕒𝕝𝕝!】

“Siwoo! Excellent, his attitude. We must follow, your passion starts!”

“Oh, dear Martinez. It’s a sin not to enjoy French cheese and wine. Let’s all indulge in this pleasure. The Palace of Versailles is here!”

“Hahaha. Marco, it’s possible. You and I will start with food. Siwoo is guarding, alone.”

“. . . . . .”

Crazy guys.

Siwoo regretted that he should have brought earplugs instead of a translator.

‘𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙩 𝙤𝙠𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙜𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨?’

It was not all of HSIU’s executives, but it would be a sweet situation if there was a hostile force.

Considering the awakened criminals and organizations that HSIU has eradicated around the world, there will be more than one person with malicious intent.

‘𝙄𝙛 𝙄𝙩 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙢𝙚, 𝙄 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙖 𝙨𝙠𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚. . . 𝙒𝙚𝙡𝙡, 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩’𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙮 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙤𝙙𝙮𝙜𝙪𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙨.’

In addition to the personal bodyguards brought by the HSIU branch managers, there was also the [𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐡𝐥 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝], which is considered the best in Germany.

It seemed that the German authorities paid attention to security because a problem here could be a major diplomatic setback.

━2-A, no problem?

At that time, the voice of Layla, the Guild Leader of the [𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐡𝐥 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝], was heard from the radio.

When he first met her, his impression on her was close to a cold flower.

A glacier that was icy beautiful but absolutely untouchable.

Layla is said to be as popular as a top celebrity in Germany.

However, the person concerned seems to only care about her sense of duty as a Guild Leader.

“2-A. All clear here.”

Siwoo put down the radio after replying.

The cool wind blows through the branches of the beech tree and scatters them cleanly.

It feels like your mind is at ease with the natural scenery that you enjoy.

“Siwoo, come, this chicken is worth eating. Are you a being that absorbs only inorganic matter? There is no heat in the air.”

“Martinez, Martinez! That guy is picky. Maybe because Korean food is great. Or maybe he misses the girlfriend he left behind.”

“Ha, ha, ha. Marco’s humor is irreplaceable. Mexico welcomes you.”

. . .Really crazy guys.

Siwoo looked around and made eye contact with Layla, who was standing far away.

Her appearance shone even from a distance.

Layla briefly touched the radio and brought it to her mouth.

━Why not eat something?

“I don’t think I can. Why don’t you eat something? It would be difficult if the Team Leader collapsed.”

Layla had the highest command authority here.

It would be appropriate for the person who knows the terrain and situation here to be the leader.

Layla chuckled at Siwoo’s words.

━It’s also the role of the team leader to manage team members. The team leader can’t eat while his subordinates are starving.

You speak well.

Siwoo smiled.

That night.

Siwoo sat on the roof of the mansion, gazing at the moonlight that seemed to be flowing down.

Cold and dazzling.

A dazzling brilliance that seemed so clear that if he stretched out his hand and jumped, he could catch it.

The chirping of insects and the hooting of an owl filled the mountain.

At this hour when almost everyone was asleep, there was no sign of life except for a few Hunters standing guard.

In fact, Siwoo was not on duty now.

He just didn’t want to relax in a strange place.

Slurp.

He drank a cup of hot cocoa that he had brought from the kitchen.

As the sugar melted, his brain felt like it was waking up.

Thud.
