The Main Characters That Only I Know

Chapter 134:

Chapter 134

“What did you do to me! Do you know who I am?! Do you know what happens to anyone who dares to mess with me in this country!”

Kwon Dong-jin had no idea what had happened to him, but he could tell that something bad was going on.

He tried to intimidate Yu-hyun, warning him not to touch him, but it was nothing more than a desperate attempt of a frightened man. 

Yu-hyun shrugged his shoulders.

“I didn’t do anything to you. I just showed you something.”

“Showed me? What did you show me? Are you playing word games with me?! I treated you like a teller, and you think you’re something?”

“Mr. Congressman!”

His male assistant was already feeling faint. 

He could feel the pressure from the stars in the sky getting stronger.

The spirits of the upper world cannot touch the humans of the lower world. 

That is the law engraved under the strict control of the Genesis System. But that law was not always perfect.

Like when one of the four dragon kings caused a commotion in Yu-hyun’s library.

If the spirits wanted to, they could easily exert some power over a human of the lower world.

“Ugh.”

Kwon Dong-jin seemed to feel something too, as he suddenly clutched his chest.

“Hurk! What, what is this!”

Kwon Dong-jin’s breathing became rough, and cold sweat ran down his cheeks. 

He felt an inexplicable chill that wouldn’t stop.

It felt like he had become a tiny ant, and dozens of giant humans were looking down at him at the same time.

“How do you feel? The eyes of those who judge good and evil?”

“Who, who are they?”

“Didn’t you say it yourself? That you are a righteous person, and I am evil. But those who are watching you don’t just believe your words. They judge. They see and hear and feel, and they draw conclusions.”

“What, what are you…”

Kwon Dong-jin finally realized that something was wrong.

He had always shrugged off his misdeeds and the criticism of others. But this was different, qualitatively different.

The gazes that touched his skin were not just physical forces, but they seemed to tear his soul apart with fierce claws.

Yu-hyun admired Kwon Dong-jin’s endurance as he watched him struggle.

“Hooh. So even if he’s rotten, he’s still a congressman? Or is it because he’s used to being cursed by people that he has some resistance?”

Whatever it was, Kwon Dong-jin was reaching his limit.

Thud.

Kwon Dong-jin knelt down. 

His legs lost strength and he couldn’t stand anymore. 

His face was soaked with sweat.

 Kwon Dong-jin squeezed out his last strength and lifted his head.

“Ah.”

And he saw it.

The black darkness that spread over the ceiling of the office, where there should have been asbestos.

The darkness was not just darkness. 

Inside it, something huge hid behind it, shining their eyes at him.

The eyes of the absolute beings who made him, who was full of pride, fall to the far below.

Yu-hyun spoke coldly to Kwon Dong-jin.

“Don’t forget. They are watching you.”

“Aaaaaah!”

Kwon Dong-jin, who had seen and experienced many things, could not bear the attention of those who were different from him.

He finally screamed a ridiculous scream and fainted on the spot.

“Mr. Congressman!”

His assistant rushed over and supported the fallen Kwon Dong-jin. 

He glared at Yu-hyun, but soon lowered his eyes.

He had witnessed what happened when Kwon Dong-jin tried to mess with Yu-hyun.

Indeed, he had a good sense as a politician’s assistant.

“Take him away. And when he wakes up, tell him this. They are always watching you, and don’t try to do anything arrogant by your own standards as a mere congressman.”

“Yes.”

It didn’t matter whether the assistant took his words to heart or not.

What mattered was that Yu-hyun had turned even this situation to his advantage.

**

“Ugh.”

“Mr. Congressman! Are you awake?”

“Uh, uh. Assistant Kim. What happened…”

Kwon Dong-jin, who was carried out of the office with support, came to his senses belatedly. 

He tried to recall what had happened, but he felt a sharp pain in his forehead and clenched his head.

He remembered. 

Why he had fainted.

“That damn teller bastard…!”

He gritted his teeth at the thought of Yu-hyun. 

More than that, he felt fear.

He was a powerful man who never backed down from anyone. 

Even collectors bowed their heads to him as a congressman. But Yu-hyun was different.

He, the teller, lived in a different world from him.

He could not reach the stars in the sky with his petty power. Kwon Dong-jin felt that fact painfully anew.

“St-stop joking. I’m Kwon Dong-jin. How dare you, do you think I’ll let you do whatever you want in this country?”

Kwon Dong-jin gritted his teeth. 

His aide supported him from the side and mulled over the words that Yu-hyun had left behind.

They are watching. 

Was it a good idea to say that to Kwon Dong-jin right now?

“Kim, aide. Let’s go.”

“Yes, yes. Sir.”

It was the moment when Kwon Dong-jin was about to get into the car he had parked.

Thud!

Something white fell from the sky and hit Kwon Dong-jin’s forehead.

“Wh-what is this!”

Kwon Dong-jin hastily wiped off the white thing that stuck to his forehead with his hand. 

It was bird droppings that smelled foul.

“Who did this!”

Having been hit by bird droppings after everything else, Kwon Dong-jin felt like he was going to faint from high blood pressure.

Above Kwon Dong-jin’s head, in the sky, a white ball of fur cried out in joy after achieving its goal.

Hoot.

***

After the aide took away the collapsed Kwon Dong-jin, Yu-hyun clapped his hands and calmed down the atmosphere.

“Come on. Spirits. Don’t be too angry. Who would have known that he would do such a thing? He must be very sorry for himself.”

Yu-hyun had temporarily opened his library since Kwon Dong-jin proposed to him.

Of course, all the conversations they had were seen by the spirits themselves. 

In a way, Yu-hyun had used the spirits’ prestige to crush Kwon Dong-jin, but he didn’t care about that part.

Yu-hyun had imprinted the dignity of the spirits on Kwon Dong-jin, a power holder of the lower world. 

Rather, the spirits were more pleased with this opportunity to strengthen their foothold in the lower world.

[The spirits reluctantly agree to listen to your words.]

[Some spirits whine that they want to see your stories more often.]

Yu-hyun had only rested for three days. Even so, the spirits wanted him to show them new paintings every day. 

The reason was that they enjoyed the painting he made when he was drunk a while ago.

They wanted better and more interesting stories. Yu-hyun was well aware of their feelings.

“Of course. But I’ve been a bit busy lately, so I couldn’t help it. I have to find the third one soon, and I have something else to do.”

[The spirits show interest in your words about the third one.]

[100TP donation!]

[By the third one, you mean another beautiful girl who will make your eyes widen, right?]

The reaction of most spirits was similar when they heard about the third one. 

It’s a girl again. 

She’ll be pretty again.

That’s what they said. 

At this point, Yu-hyun wondered if he had done something wrong.

“No. Why do you think it’s a girl?”

[100TP donation!]

[If you look at the first and second ones, you can tell what your preference is.]

“…I’m telling you, I didn’t choose Hye-rim and Jia based on my personal taste or bias. I just picked them based on their abilities, and they happened to be girls.”

[(Anonymous) 100TP donation!]

[I didn’t like young girls because I was a lolicon either. I just liked girls who happened to be young.]

Are you Hades?

Yu-hyun stopped himself from saying that out loud. 

Some spirits would deliberately hide their identity when they sent him playful direct messages like that.

“Anyway, it’s ridiculous to say that the third one is already decided or that it’s a girl. That’s nothing but an unfounded insult.”

[The spirits suggest that you make a bet.]

“A bet?”

The spirits insisted that they did. 

Yu-hyun was about to answer yes to prove his innocence, but he hesitated without realizing it.

‘But what if it really is a girl?’

He couldn’t deliberately choose based on gender when picking the important third one. 

He had to look at their outstanding talent and potential for the future. 

Of course, he couldn’t rule out the possibility that their gender might ‘coincidentally’ be female again.

But what made him more uneasy was that maybe the third one would really turn out as the spirits said.

‘No way…’

Yu-hyun tried to deny that possibility, but his anxiety didn’t go away easily like sticky dirt on his skin.

“I don’t think a bet is… a good idea. Ahem. Why would you do such a thing?”

[A drunkard at a tavern donated 100TP!]

[Ha ha, you chickened out, didn’t you?]

“Ahem. No. Anyway, I’m busy.”

Yu-hyun quickly closed his library again.

“What do they think of me as a teller?”

“I don’t think I said anything wrong?”

“Hyerim…”

“I agree with him.”

“Even you, Jia…”

I didn’t expect First and Second to say such things, and Yu-hyun’s face was visibly shocked.

“Sigh. Fine. Fine. I’m the fool for expecting anything.”

Yu-hyun thought that there was no one in the world he could trust, but he also recalled what he had read in Kwon Dongjin’s book.

The information he had read from the faint silver book he possessed.

‘The clan that used to watch my back got thirsty and came looking for me.’

Kwon Dongjin was a politician who was against the Association and friendly with the clans.

If the Association and Kwon Dongjin had some connection, then Kwon Dongjin wouldn’t have suffered the same fate as Choi Jungmo.

‘Do the parties have pro-Association and pro-Clan factions? Politicians have extended their hands to the collectors’ industry after the corporations.’

Politicians were not Yu-hyun’s interest, but it was different if Kwon Dongjin got involved like today.

‘I need more diverse information.’

Even if Yu-hyun had regressed, he didn’t know everything. 

There were things that Yu-hyun didn’t know. 

Especially things related to minor accidents in everyday life or politicians.

What he remembered were only the big events or the worldview information about the collectors.

He didn’t care about other issues. But now it was different.

‘There’s no guarantee that they won’t mess with us.’

It was then that Yu-hyun thought that.

Ding!

A message came through Line, which only people who knew Yu-hyun personally could send.

[Sender: Choi Jungmo]

It was a message from Choi Jungmo, one of the senior members of the Association.

The content was short. 

It was just a question of whether he could meet him soon.

‘Is it because of Kwon Dongjin?’

He had noticed that he came out of the White Flower Management office and sent him a message in a hurry.

‘Does he worry that I might have some connection with Kwon Dongjin?’

Kwon Dongjin was on the side of the clans, not the Association.

He looked like someone who secretly helped the clans and took care of his own interests. 

He came to the office because of the tax audit on Twilight Curtain and Hanul’s case.

On the other hand, Choi Jungmo was an Association figure. 

He must have some relations with other politicians from different parties.

‘Hmm. I don’t like being swept away by them.’

What Yu-hyun felt from before was that politicians were a bunch of hopeless people, no matter what faction they belonged to.

They were all in a shit hole, trying to smear each other with filth and arguing who was cleaner and worse.

Yu-hyun didn’t want to get involved with them.

Suddenly, he thought that maybe he could use them to his advantage if he did well.

‘Yeah. There’s no need for me to fight.’

[I’ll go now. Do you have time?]

[Choi Jungmo: Yes. But now?]

[Yes. I’ll be there soon.]

Yu-hyun contacted Choi Jungmo and said he would go.

If he had already turned against Kwon Dongjin, then it would be enough to get along with another politician who opposed him.

But of course, he would keep his line. He would keep a clean relationship where they only kept what they had to keep and got what they had to get.

They would be a good breakwater for White Flower Management.

Yu-hyun got up from his seat. 

It was time to go to the Association.

‘The name of this operation is, yeah. This sounds good.’

Yu-hyun smiled slyly.

‘You heard me well, right? Kill each other from now on.’
