Solo Swordmaster

#345. I have something to show you

* * *

‘What is the cigarette princess up to?’

Limon was shaking.

From the time he first made himself his concubine, Hasneti’s behavior was somewhat unexpected.

But lately, that aspect has become stronger.

‘Can you tell what’s inside?’

If it was a decent opponent, he would have guessed the intention with the sword master’s senses and Noh Kang-ho’s experience.

Against Hasneti, that wasn’t easy either.

Poker face is basic.

Too lukewarm to be hostile, too callous to be kind.

This made it difficult for Limon to guess what Hasneti wanted from him.

‘Come to think of it, wasn’t there a sultan who behaved similarly to me in the past?’

Are not the years of living in vain?

After thinking about it, Limon was able to recall that a sultan, who ruled a Middle Eastern country in fear hundreds of years ago, suddenly started to show good luck, causing an uproar.

‘Um, why did that bastard do that then? I think I heard rumors that it was because I was possessed by something or because I was crazy…’

The problem is that it was a very old event and it was not very important, so my memory is fuzzy.

Limon somehow tried to relive that memory and figure out Hasneti’s intentions.

“Follow me.”

However, Limon’s deliberation had to be interrupted by Hasneti who came out of nowhere today.

Limon tilted his head as he saw her, who uttered a few words as soon as they met in a particularly neatly angled military uniform.

“Where are you following me?”

“I’m going to inspect.”

“To accompany the Pharaoh inspection? why?”

“You don’t need to know…”

Hasneti, who was about to respond in a muffled voice to Limon’s words, suddenly shuts up.

And after remaining silent as if listening to someone else’s story, he spoke again.

“Isn’t it frustrating to stay at the royal villa?”

“So you’re saying you’re going to take me for a walk because I think I’ll be frustrated?”

“Yes.”

“Should I say thank you?”

It’s not about getting sick and giving medicine.

It’s like what’s the point of confining him and taking him for a walk?

Hasneti said coldly to Limon, who asked bluntly.

“I don’t need thanks, so just follow me.”

“…Well, if that’s the Pharaoh’s will.”

At the words of not daring to accept the refusal, Limon eventually shrugged and followed Hasneti.

Without even knowing what Hasneti was talking about in his head.

[That’s not it!]

[It’s not something to be thanked for!]

[I’m sorry I kept you locked up in the villa, so as an apology, I’ll go out and have a meal with you and take you on a tour!] [You

shouldn’t have said that, but why? Are you saying that you can only speak firmly!]

The blue bird listened to the story while wearing the chlorinated items Hasneti personally found from the royal warehouse for today and the interception items.

Yuna-kyung jumped up and down and shouted.

Hasneti’s answer to that was clear.

‘…Then it looks weak.’

[What happened to that!?]

‘Weak reason has no charm.’

[Are you talking about logic that only works for beasts in the grasslands? Originally, pretending to be weak is a way for a woman to be attractive!]

‘Is that so…?’

[is it so! So, at least pretend to be weak! It makes a man want to protect you!]

His combat power is only at level 100.

Yuna-kyung asked for trust in Hasneti, who was doubtful that her love power would be level 1.

[Remember. The purpose of this date is ‘Aim for a surprisingly kind tyrant’!]

A person who always does bad things looks very different even if he does something good just once.

So, you have to use that gap to gain goodwill.

To Yun Na-kyung’s telepathy, Hasneti, who was sincere like a schemer proposing a plan for world domination, agreed earnestly like the leader of an evil organization.

That’s how the date plan Yuna-kyung prepared by mobilizing all her love cells began.

And smashed.

“I don’t think this place is well managed for a tourist destination. Wouldn’t it be nice to decorate it a bit more?”

“is it.”

[Why are you doing a real inspection, not a tour…?]

“Seeing that the clothes here are of poor quality for a luxury brand, it seems they are distributing counterfeits made in Russia.”

“…Right.”

[Eek! There were fake clothes there?]

“Why a movie theater? Oh, are there any rumors of smuggling going on here?”

“……Yes.”

[What if we affirm it there!?!?]

Maybe because the purpose of the outing was a tour.

Or maybe it’s because of the military uniform.

Or maybe it’s because of the cold face.

Limon, who could not imagine that Hasneti’s purpose was a simple date, made a mistake every time.

In addition, as she affirmed the futility, the date plan was transformed into an inspection plan without realizing it.

Yuna-kyung, who had prepared a date plan after a long time, was just blown away by the situation.

[Let’s try to create a sweeter atmosphere!]

‘Can I have a drink?’

[Doesn’t the soldier know how to create an atmosphere other than that?]

‘I don’t know.’

[Ugh, I’d rather die than get sick.]

Yuna-kyung let out a pained voice.

‘I’d rather leave Baekryong unnie alone, but she’ll rush in on her own…’

Ainsha often acts foolishly, but her acting power alone is amazing.

Besides, since I act based on my foreknowledge, it makes me feel like something will be okay no matter what mistakes I make.

However, in the case of Hasneti, the opposite is true.

Looking at his appearance, he is a bold yet cool-headed iron-blooded tyrant, but he has no savvy when it comes to dating.

Even so, he didn’t show any emotion on the outside, which made him feel even more anxious.

It’s like watching a child juggling with a burning torch on a glass ball full of gunpowder.

Thanks to that, even if I wanted to leave it alone, I couldn’t. As Yuna-kyung, I couldn’t stand the frustration and was on the verge of a myocardial infarction.

‘…Dating is great.’

However, Hasneti was very satisfied with the situation.

For the past 10 years, I’ve only come across it through photos and articles.

To be able to walk around and talk with Limon, whom I couldn’t even watch from afar.

For Hasneti, this alone was thrilling.

To the extent that his face would have turned red a long time ago if he hadn’t calmed down the fever with psionics.

I wish time would stop like this.

Contrary to his still cold face, Hasneti enjoyed such fresh happiness in his heart.

The problem arose while they were conducting an inspection, not an inspection.

“Pharaoh, isn’t the basement a bit suspicious?”

“What underground?”

“Here, here.”

Is it because I thought this was a real inspection?

Instead of watching a movie at a movie theater he stopped by after a long time, Limon used his senses as a sword master and even his experience from his PAB days to dig into suspicious places.

That’s how I followed his guidance and found the iron door in the basement of the cinema.

The moment I melted the lock and forced it open.

rattle.

“…”

“…?!”

“Are you sure the information is clear?”

Hasneti was silent.

Limon shook his head.

The men who carried everything from machine guns to grenade rocket launchers in the basement hardened.

“This shit!”

At the end of that moment of silence.

The moment the men who dropped the weapon box they were holding shouted and aimed the weapon they picked up from the box at Limon.

Sparks flew from Hasneti’s eyes.

* * *

[No, why is there a smuggling organization in a place like this…]

A secret warehouse that was relatively tidy until a while ago.

However, Hasneti, who was silent with her arms folded in a place where only scrap metal remained, calmly responded to Yuna-kyung’s devastated voice.

‘It’s a common thing.’

[Is it common? Could it be that there is a weapon smuggling organization in every movie theater in this neighborhood?]

‘It’s rare in movie theaters, but there are many others.’

Although Egypt is much richer and more stable than other countries, Egypt was not a very peaceful country either.

This was especially true for smuggling crimes.

From weapons to household appliances.

As the most advanced country in Africa, Egyptian goods are cheap and of good quality, so selling anything to Africa made a lot of money.

It was just a bit unusual that he chose a movie theater as a warehouse for choosing a place that the red dragon clan wouldn’t even come close to.

Na-kyung Yuna, who took the picture here.

As a smuggling organization that was struck by lightning.

All I could say was that it was an unfortunate encounter for each other.

Especially with the smugglers who aimed their guns at Limone and got half roasted by Hasneti.

However, Hasneti, who had ruined the date, didn’t really care about that fact.

I just watched in silence as Limon applied first aid medicine that was stuck in the smuggled goods to smugglers who were suffering from burns.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

Are you conscious of that gaze?

Hasneti quietly asked Limon, who glanced back at himself while applying the medicine.

“Why are you treating them?”

“So what? Just let me die?”

“It would be better for them to die.”

“What would it be?”

Limon readily agreed.

Still, smuggling in Egypt is a felony.

Especially at the point of trying to resist by pointing a gun at her and Limon, a life that would be comfortable to die would be waiting for them.

They were the ones Hasneti would have burned if he hadn’t been conscious of Limon’s gaze.

“Is it because you want them to live somehow, even though you know that?”

“I don’t really have any thoughts like that.”

“Then why?”

“well?”

It is obvious that most of them are criminals accustomed to murder.

And it was his style to not care whether these heinous criminals died or not, as would be the case with innocent people.

But why are you doing such a bothersome thing?

After thinking for a moment, Limon scratched his cheek and replied.

“If you have to say, a habit?”

“….”

“You could just say that it was just for fun.”

“Who treats this little boy as a toy…! Kuek”

“Sleep quietly. Don’t you know that the patient is absolutely stable?”

Maybe it’s because the answer was so absurd.

Wait a moment to watch the smuggler who was being treated in a fit of rage, then pass out after being hit in the stomach by Limon.

Hasneti murmured.

“Is it like that too?”

“What is that?”

“…”

“Ah, I don’t need to know, right?”

Seeing Hasneti’s silence, Limon gave up on answering, and again smuggled the drug on the smuggler.

When Yuna-gyeong, who was listening to the sound with the wiretapping item, clicked her tongue and tried to say a word.

Hasneti opened her mouth.

“Now I think I know about you properly.”

“Do you know about me? what?”

[What do you mean?]

Hasneti didn’t answer.

He only turned around after handing over the smugglers to the Red Dragon Clan who contacted Nadia and summoned him.

“Follow me.”

“…?”

[Where are you going, soldier? Isn’t that the next date course?]

‘I don’t need a date anymore.’

[Yes?]

Yuna-kyung was confused by that sudden statement, but Hasneti didn’t care.

Others may not have realized it.

But I’ve been fanatically collecting data on Limon for over a decade.

Above all, because it is the Red Dragon Princess.

she could understand

That it was a mistake to try to win his heart with gifts or dates.

In the first place, that was not his way and that he had other things to do.

That’s why Hasneti took the lead and said quietly.

“I have something to show you.”

After a while.

Limon was shaken.

From vehicles to military helicopters.

I wanted to go somewhere because I changed transportation several times.

It was because the place where Hasneti arrived was such an unexpected place.

“What are you going to do with me suddenly showing you something like a power plant?”

[A power plant? Did you go to the power plant right now?]

Yes.

Hasneti brought Limon to the power plant.

It was also a place built in the middle of a farm far away from Cairo.

The appearance of a state-of-the-art power plant standing tall in the middle of an endless field of golden wheat was eye-catching in many ways.

The problem is that I don’t know why I came here.

“There is no rush. There is something else to show you.”

Limon, as well as Yuna-kyung, who remained in the palace.

While the two of them tilted their heads side by side, Hasneti entered the power plant, guided by the Red Dragon Clan who met him at the helipad.

Then he stopped the wiretapping item that was connected to Yuna-kyung and asked in a muddy voice.

“Did you know that Apophis controls more than 80% of the global energy industry?”

“Not knowing is stupid.”

“How was that even possible?”

“Isn’t that because the pharaoh’s clan runs most of the thermal power plants and oil refineries?”

“Yes.”

Hasneti calmly agreed.

rejected at the same time.

“But that’s not all.”

“If power plants and oil refineries aren’t everything, what else is there?”

“You will see from now on.”

“What is that…?”

As he walked down the long aisle and had a conversation with Hasneti, Limon had a strange expression on his face.

It wasn’t just that I was fed up with the metal door that blocked the entire passageway after passing through several thick security doors.

It was because of something I felt behind the metal door covered in all sorts of magical powers.

Weiying.

And finally, the last metal door opens.

The moment when the inner scene is revealed.

Limon’s face hardened.

“…what is ‘this’ for Pharaoh?”

“The real reason our clan was able to dominate the world’s energy industry.”

It seems that such a reaction was expected.

Hasneti replied quietly.

Then, he lit a cigarette he took out of his bosom, sucked in a sip of smoke, and continued with a muffled voice.

“At the same time, it is the future of mankind and proof that we are worthy to be the losers of the world.”

The best secret of the Red Dragon Clan.

A power that is completely unknown except to a few archaic shamans and a handful of scientists.

A huge space that exudes the atmosphere of a laboratory rather than a power plant, with various observation instruments, experimental instruments, computers, and wires intertwined.

The identity of the artificial sun blazing in the middle of it.

Hasneti said calmly.

“It is nuclear fusion.”
