The Main Characters That Only I Know-Chapter 333:

The headless body of Lotfiout slowly tilted to the side.

His huge flesh rolled on the floor with a loud thud.

The strange staff that his hand was holding flew away and rolled to the center of the court.

“Ch, chairman!”

“Director Hata! What the hell…!”

Shocked eyes turned to Director Hata.

He had killed the chairman in front of everyone.

He licked his tongue and looked down at Yu-hyun.

“You insignificant bastard, you interfered with my plan. Do you have any idea how much I suffered to get here?”

Yu-hyun did not answer. He just looked up at Hata with a cold gaze.

Rather than Yu-hyun, the one who was flustered was Galiaz.

He was happy that Yu-hyun had returned, but he was speechless when he saw what Hata had done.

“Hata, you… Why did you do such a thing…?”

Galiaz and Hata were classmates.

They were born on the same day, took the test on the same day, and worked as tellers for Celestial Corporation.

They got along well with each other, but now Hata was the only one left among their classmates.

Even though Hata had risen to the position of director of the central office, and he had quit his job halfway and stayed in the back room.

Still, Galiaz believed that Hata was still a good friend and an excellent teller.

“Why, why did you do that?”

“Galiaz.”

Hata looked at Galiaz with a complicated expression and shook his head.

“You wouldn’t understand. Even if I told you, you wouldn’t get it.”

“What is it that makes you say that?”

“There’s only one thing that’s certain. It was something that had to be done for the sake of this world.”

It was necessary for the world? But why did he kill the chairman? If there was a problem with the chairman, he could have just convened a board meeting and raised an agenda.

No one argued with Hata. From the moment he cut off Lotfiout’s head, he had taken control of the situation.

“You’re not surprised.”

Hata moved his eyes from Galiaz to Yu-hyun and said that.

“Why should I be surprised?”

“Aren’t you shocked that the chairman is dead?”

“You killed him, why should I be shocked? Or did you hope that I would mistake the chairman for an invincible being?”

“No. No, that’s not it. I made a mistake. You too, are someone who sees the same thing as me. But I forgot it for a moment.”

The same thing.

Yu-hyun realized from Hata’s words that he also knew about the existence of the Codex fragments.

Well, he knew about the fragments, so he could have put them in Georen’s body.

And beyond that, Hata didn’t just know and see the fragments, he also had the authority to hold and own them.

Then he had a question.

He seemed to have known about the existence of the fragments for a long time, but why didn’t he collect them?

‘Is it because he wanted to save the world?’

It didn’t seem like he was just trying to rationalize his actions.

But there was no need to ask him.

No matter what happened, Director Hata was a terrible criminal who betrayed Celestial Corporation and killed the chairman. That fact wouldn’t change.

“What are you all doing! Are you going to stay still like this?!”

Celestina shouted angrily. The chief tellers came to their senses at her scream and got up from their seats.

No matter how strong Director Hata was, they were also the heads of each office except for the central office.

Their stories and ranks were not inferior to those of directors.

“You’re going to attack me?”

Hata frowned at their actions.

“You ignorant fools, you don’t even know what kind of noble will I’m moving with. How dare you try to stop me?”

“How dare you say that after killing the chairman!”

“Stupid bastards. The chairman was trying to destroy this world from the beginning!”

Hata shouted that, but no one believed him. Only Yu-hyun thought about the truth of his words.

“…Well, whatever.”

Hata was also annoyed by the twisted situation. He didn’t expect them to understand him even if he said anything.

Anyway, Celestial Corporation was over when the chairman died.

A body without a head couldn’t do anything on its own. Hata had already done everything he could in the best way possible.

“The chairman is dead anyway, so there’s nothing more to argue about. But I can’t leave you alone.”

Hata couldn’t let go of Kang Yu-hyun who had interfered with his everything.

If he also knew about the existence of the fragments, and if all the abilities he had shown so far were obtained through the power of the fragments.

Yu-hyun had to disappear from this place.

Hata was about to use his hand, but he was surprised to see that Yu-hyun was still standing still in his seat and looking at him.

‘What? Does he think he can’t run away? Why is he sitting still?’

Before he could question that, Yu-hyun smirked at Hata.

“Director Hata, I watched how great you are, but you were nothing special.”

“What?”

“You watched the chairman from the closest place, but you don’t know what kind of person he is.”

Before Director Hata could ask what that meant, a voice came from the air.

[Oh. I wanted to watch a little longer, but I was already found out.]

“Th, this voice…”

“Chairman?!”

It was the voice of Lotfiout, the chairman of Celestial Corporation who should have died without a head.

Hata, the executive director, was stunned.

He was sure that he had killed the chairman.

Hadn’t he been watching him closely while working as his secretary?

But what was this voice?

[You look flustered, Hata. You’re already complacent, thinking you’ve succeeded. That doesn’t suit you, who are usually so cautious.]

“Lotfiout! How did you…?!”

[You don’t even call me chairman anymore. Well, I don’t want to be called chairman by a subordinate who betrayed me either, so I don’t mind. But I’ll show you a little mercy and tell you what you’re curious about. Why am I alive?]

Lotfiout laughed.

He found Hata’s behavior, who was an executive director, adorable. It was like an adult looking at a child.

[I never died in the first place. Did you really think I could die by someone like you?]

“What did you say?”

[Have you forgotten, Hata? Why I’m called the chairman of this place.]

Lotfiout was the chairman of Celestial Corporation.

The chairman was the one who ruled the company as a king.

The humans of the lower world thought that the directors could take over the chairman’s position, but Lotfiout was different.

He was called the chairman and ran the company because he wanted this form.

His position was always firmly the king of this place.

[You harmed my small body that I created for work purposes, and you thought you killed me?]

Kugukukung!

The building began to shake as if there was an earthquake.

This was unbelievable.

Celestial Corporation was a company city built on a huge floating island in the middle of space.

There had never been an earthquake caused by the misalignment of the strata in this place in the history of the company.

“The ceiling!”

Someone shouted and everyone looked up.

The ceiling of the courtroom was disappearing. The ceiling rose to the sky as if the building had been cut in half.

“No, no.”

Another director-level teller in the surveillance room, Garas, trembled like a pine tree.

His eyes were filled with an unbelievable sight.

“That’s not a ceiling… it’s a hand.”

A giant hand.

What they had thought was the ceiling of the courtroom was a giant hand.

And above that hand, much bigger than any building in this city, a towering being was looking down at them.

[You were arrogant and thought I was too ridiculous.]

All the tellers who stayed at Celestial Corporation could see Lotfiout’s true appearance, which revealed his colossal presence like a star.

[I am Lotfiout. The chairman of Celestial Corporation.]

It was a declaration that had no exaggeration or lie in it.

[I am the company.]

All the buildings and all the land masses of Celestial Corporation.

Lotfiout’s true body was Celestial Corporation itself.

‘Wow, impressive.’

Yu-hyun admired Lotfiout’s true appearance.

His gigantic body that he had to look up at from afar and his awe-inspiring presence that emanated from it were not inferior to those called Divine Spirits.

The first teller and king of stories who only existed five in the whole mixed world.

He reached out his hand toward Hata.

[Hata. Are you ready?]

“Don’t make me laugh!”

Hata burst into anger and opened his energy.

“Do you think I don’t know?! You’re trying to destroy this world, collecting stories!”

[You’re talking nonsense. Who told you that?]

“Who? Who do you think? Isn’t it enough that your brother said that?”

[Brother? Ah. I see. Hata, you…]

A flash exploded in Lotfiout’s eyes in the distant sky.

[You met ‘Prytion’.]

Lotfiout couldn’t help but laugh as he mentioned the king of traitors.

Brother.

You betrayed our father and hid somewhere, but you were doing such a despicable thing under water.

[I guess you won’t tell me where he is.]

“I won’t!”

Hata’s body soared high.

His speed was so fast that it made his eyes dizzy, but for Lotfiout, Hata’s struggle was nothing more than a bug’s wing flap.

Hata was strong, but Lotfiout was much stronger.

The difference in rank was clear.

Lotfiout’s giant hand gripped Hata’s body tightly.

Hata tried to resist by releasing his energy, but as soon as Lotfiout put strength into his hand, he burst like a balloon.

“Lotfioutuuuu!!!”

[Begone. You are the remnants of a bookworm.]

As Lotfiout exerted his force, Hata’s body crumpled.

It was not just compressing his body.

Lotfiout’s huge presence shattered the text that made up Hata, the teller.

The power of a trash can, or a text shredder.

Lotfiout implemented it with just the grip of his right hand.

“Kuaaaaaa!”

Hata’s scream did not last until the end.

Hata’s existence disappeared like dust in Lotfiout’s hand.

The broken dust was soon absorbed by Lotfiout’s palm.

Lotfiout reconstructed the traces of Hata that came into him in his head.

[So that’s how it was.]

He killed a director-level teller with one hand, absorbed the fragments of his corpse, and analyzed what he had done in the past in an instant.

Lotfiout soon returned his true body to its original state.

His huge body sank like a deflated balloon and soon merged with Celestial Corporation.

The ceiling of the court, which had disappeared, returned to its original state. Everything was the same as before, but the tellers gathered in the court were still stunned.

Thud.

The body of Lotfiout, who had collapsed in the court, twitched and then his head regenerated. Lotfiout got up from his seat.

“Ouch. My back hurts from using my power after a long time.”

Lotfiout reached out his arm into the air and the cane that had rolled to Yu-hyun moved by itself.

Lotfiout grabbed the cane and sat down in his designated seat.

Everyone held their breath and watched the scene.

“Well. There was some trouble for a while, but it’s over now. Let’s finish what we were doing.”

“Ch, chairman.”

“Oh right. I forgot that the executive director is gone now. Hata did a good job, but it’s a pity.”

Lotfiout did not regret killing his subordinate who had worked with him for a long time.

If Hata had not been a traitor, Lotfiout would have used him for a long time.

He did not expect him to fall into the hands of Praytion.

“Galiaz.”

“Yes, chairman.”

“From today, you are the executive director.”

There was an outcry from the surroundings at his shocking remark.

“Ch, chairman!”

“How can Galiaz suddenly become the executive director! He is already retired!”

They could not stand still as he gave him not only a reinstatement but also a huge promotion.

Lotfiout did not listen to their words.

His eyes had not left Galiaz since before.

“What will you do?”

“…I will do it.”

The noise around them grew louder as they did not expect Galiaz to accept here.

In Celestial Corporation, which had no vice president, president, or vice president, the position of executive director was practically the second highest rank after the chairman.

“Quiet!”

Lotfiout lightly tapped the floor with his cane and shouted. His opinion was absolute even if the managing director or ordinary director objected.

They could not resist when Lotfiout said that.

They all looked at the chairman’s face.

Especially after seeing that scene earlier, they had to shrink their bodies.

“It’s finally quiet. Good.”

Lotfiout’s eyes turned to Yu-hyun.

“What kind of reward should I give you for helping me get rid of the bug in the headquarters?”
