The Main Characters That Only I Know-Chapter 389:

Old Town was shrouded in a strange atmosphere.

It was not long after the terror attack that the lords had to hold a meeting, and the movements of the Salio Empire were suspicious.

War was breaking out.

That rumor spread quickly throughout the city.

Even Yu-hyun, who was looking down at the cityscape from the window of the conference hall, could feel how restless the citizens were.

The mood of the city was gloomy.

“They have all arrived.”

One of the guards who was watching the situation outside informed them of the arrival of the other lords.

Yu-hyun, Kwon Jia, and Baek Seo-ryeon, who were waiting inside, nodded their heads.

Soon, many people entered through the open door of the conference hall.

What caught Yu-hyun’s eye was the appearance of the beastmen, elves, and dwarves that he had never seen in his previous life.

‘They are also lords, huh.’

They clearly felt powerful.

And they had a mysterious look that he had never seen on Earth.

They fit perfectly with the stories that spread in the mixed world.

‘Next are the martial artists of the Central Sky Alliance.’

He knew a lot about the martial artists indirectly through Seo Sumin.

There were various martial worlds in the mixed world, and each world had its own characteristics. But the basic framework was similar.

Most of them wore uniforms and carried their own weapons on their waist.

Some had a bandit-like aura, and some had a fairy-like atmosphere as if they were walking on clouds.

The next ones to come in were the foreigners.

‘They have a very bizarre appearance, just as rumored.’

Foreigners did not refer to a specific world, but to a small alliance within an alliance formed by minority races from various planets.

As a result, their appearance had no unified part, and they were all full of personality.

It was very similar to when Yu-hyun first went to the headquarters of Celestial Corporation and saw all kinds of tellers with different appearances.

A giant made of rocks, a woman whose skin changed color in real time.

A slime-like creature with a large eye attached to it.

The only common feature of the foreigners who entered the conference hall was that they were all strong.

‘Of course, there are also transcenders and lord-level ones mixed in there.’

And finally, the people from Earth came in.

The first one to come in leisurely was Lim Gunwoo.

He had been five years, but his appearance had not changed much.

He had always looked like an old man, but he still did now.

Only his beard was longer, and he was accompanied by Choi Yeri, who had matured more.

“Huh?”

Lim Gunwoo recognized Yu-hyun and unwittingly opened his mouth and made a stupid sound.

When the people around him looked at Lim Gunwoo and asked what was wrong, he awkwardly smiled and mumbled something.

When their eyes disappeared, Lim Gunwoo stared at Yu-hyun with wide eyes.

He was doubtful whether Yu-hyun was really the Kang Yu-hyun teller he knew.

Yu-hyun, who was quietly standing behind Baek Seo-ryeon, waved his hand slightly at him.

‘Long time no see.’

Lim Gunwoo’s eyes widened when he saw Yu-hyun’s mouth shape. He realized that Kang Yu-hyun in front of him was real.

Buzzing.

A small disturbance spread in the conference hall like a drop of water falling on a calm surface.

Following Lim Gunwoo, a large man entered.

Wi Muhyuk, who had only slightly increased his wrinkles from five years ago and had not changed much otherwise.

This man, who was called a god of war on Earth, was now recognized as a respectable lord in the lord alliance and ruled over a city.

He had recovered his lost power and became even stronger.

As soon as he entered the conference hall, he recognized Yu-hyun at a glance.

He tried to say something but closed his lips tightly because it was not a place to talk.

Huang Se-eun, who came in after him, also recognized Yu-hyun.

Unlike before, she did not wear a helmet this time and shuddered when she saw Yu-hyun.

Huang Se-eun’s adjutant Bang Sang-shi and Yoo Seong-ah also found Yu-hyun.

‘Bang Sang-shi is still the same.’

Bang Sang-shi wore a mask over his face as he did before or now.

His height seemed to have grown a little bit more, but there was nothing else that changed. Yoo Seong-ah was also the same.

He did not feel much change in other people because he had seen Yura grow from a minor to an adult.

‘But… they are all looking at me and Jia.’

Everyone who entered the conference hall gave their eyes to Yu-hyun and Kwon Jia who lined up on both sides of Baek Seo-ryeon.

Kang Hye-rim was sitting in the corner with Baek-hyo, who had changed a little, in her arms, and some people recognized her.

Everyone who gathered here had achieved transcender or higher.

They also knew each other.

They could guess how strong the other person was just by looking.

Among them, the one who attracted the most attention was Yu-hyun.

‘Is that guy the Book Pile Lord?’

‘He fought and won against the executor Choi Do-yoon, and he defeated and subjugated the notorious Black Thunder Lord…’

‘Is he really as strong as the rumors say?’

Especially, some of them who had a strong competitive Divine Spirit secretly sent their energy to Yu-hyun.

They wanted to lightly test Yu-hyun’s reaction and see if the rumor was true.

Baek Seo-ryeon and Kwon Jia knew that too, but they did not stop them from being rude.

Yu-hyun would handle it himself within his line.

“This is interesting.”

Whoosh!

In an instant, a strong wave of energy surged from Yu-hyun and engulfed the conference hall.

The faces of the people who entered the conference hall hardened, and especially some of them who deliberately sent their energy to Yu-hyun turned pale.

In the heavy atmosphere, Yu-hyun opened his mouth.

“You must all be tired from coming a long way, so don’t waste time on trivial things from the start. Let’s get to the point right away.”

His tone was polite, but it was almost like a threat.

He wanted to suppress them from the start and lead the flow.

However, the lords’ reactions were not easy.

Any ordinary person would have frozen and agreed, but everyone who gathered here was treated as a strong person wherever they went.

As expected, there was resistance from all over, and the most vehement opposition came from the warriors of the Central Sky Alliance.

“How dare you try to intimidate us!”

One man who had been glaring at Yu-hyun with obvious hostility reacted the most violently.

He was a man in his early fifties with a long black beard like a hermit, and on his white clothes was a large character that read “White”.

Yu-hyun, who had quickly injected himself with basic knowledge last night, immediately recognized who the other person was.

‘Is he the leader of the White Sword Sect?’

The Central Sky Alliance was composed of several sects.

Among them, the White Sword Sect was one of the most influential places in the alliance.

The man who was angry at Yu-hyun was one of the lords and the head of the White Sword Sect, Wiwolseong.

He did not want to accept the fact that he had been pushed back by Yu-hyun’s momentum, and instead glared at Yu-hyun fiercely.

Naturally, the other lords stepped back, and in an instant, the atmosphere turned into a one-on-one confrontation between Wiwolseong and Yu-hyun. Everyone watched the scene with bated breath.

‘They all look expectant.’

Yu-hyun knew what the other lords’ eyes meant.

They wanted to see for themselves if the rumored Lord of Books was really as good as the rumors said.

They were secretly glad that Wiwolseong had stepped up like this.

‘I thought it wouldn’t be easy, but it’s more blatant than I expected.’

Yu-hyun decided to admit honestly that he had bitten off more than he could chew.

The previous opponents he had met had bowed their heads and backed off as soon as he threatened them moderately. He had foolishly thought that it would work this time too.

The people who gathered here were all lords with pride that pierced the sky.

Especially, the warriors of the Central Sky Alliance were known for being aggressive and uncompromising in battle, and having a very rigid mindset. It was nothing but a provocation to touch them lightly.

Yes.

This place was not a place where they gathered to have a casual conversation.

In the end, they had to prove that they had the qualifications to have a say, and the fastest and easiest way to prove that was to show their strength.

‘Really… It’s annoying.’

Yu-hyun sighed.

Wiwolseong narrowed his eyes menacingly at how he took that sigh.

“How dare you!”

“How dare you?”

Yu-hyun immediately curled up his lips and sneered at Wiwolseong.

The energy that he had let out moderately out of consideration for the other person became even stronger and more fierce.

Wiwolseong, who had thought that this was it, clenched his teeth as he faced Yu-hyun’s fighting Divine Spirit head-on.

Yu-hyun did not hide his displeasure.

Rather, he openly showed his anger and pressured the other person.

“The word ‘how dare you’ is not something you should say when you are weaker than me.”

Gradually.

As Yu-hyun spoke, the energy that crushed Wiwolseong became stronger.

Wiwolseong tried to resist by biting his teeth and raising his inner power, but that only gave him a moment of relief.

He could not escape from Yu-hyun’s power fundamentally.

The people of the White Sword Sect who were watching the scene reached for their swords, but they all froze as if time had stopped when Yu-hyun gave them a light glance.

“Honestly, I don’t like making a fuss in a place where everyone is gathered like this. It’s ridiculous to hurt each other’s feelings in a place like this, and I don’t have time for that.”

Black characters rose up over Yu-hyun’s body.

The lords who were gathered here realized for the first time that there was black in the text at that moment. The text of their stories was all white.

The pieces of black text gathered on Yu-hyun’s face and soon formed a mask.

“But if you come at me blatantly like this, then it’s a different story.”

Aporia’s mask.

The error demon who had become much stronger than before opened his eyes and made the other lords sweat or swallow their saliva.

Kiiiing!

Yu-hyun’s momentum shook the atmosphere.

His enormous presence interfered with the space itself and distorted it gradually.

He was strong.

The rumor that the Lord of Books had defeated an executor was not a mere rumor.

Rather, the public opinion of this man was much lower than his actual power.

He was so strong that he could match a second-generation Divine Spirit with his single body.

More than anything, the mischievous look in his eyes when he wore that mask made them feel as if their existence and all their stories were being erased just by facing him.

“So. Is this not enough? Or, I can show you more here.”

“Th-this bastard!”

A few of the warriors of the White Sword Sect finally managed to reach for their swords.

They immediately drew their swords and aimed at Yu-hyun’s neck, who had insulted their sect.

But.

“Don’t interfere with me, or you’ll regret it.”

Kwon Jia, who had summoned a giant beast behind her, warned them as she looked at them.

As the head of Fenrir, a mythical beast that was said to devour even gods, decorated one side of the conference hall, the warriors of the White Sword Sect lost their strength in their legs and collapsed on their seats. Kwon Jia sneered at them and erased Fenrir’s head.

“Ha, I surrender.”

Wi Wolseong, the leader of the White Sword Sect, moved his barely open mouth desperately and said that.

He felt that if he tried to save his pride any longer, he would really die miserably in Yu-hyun’s hands.

It was not a simple misunderstanding or delusion.

It was an intuition based on the instinct of a warrior who had lived for a long time.

He was sure that he would die if he did not bow his head.

That was why he acted like that.

“I’m sorry. I was just curious…”

As Wi Wolseong bit his lips and uttered a humble apology, Yu-hyun’s aura that had been strangling him disappeared.

Wi Wolseong breathed a sigh of relief and lightly rubbed his neck with his hand. He could not tell if he was alive or dead.

‘How could I be pushed back so miserably?’

He felt a big wound on his pride.

Wi Wolseong was originally an arrogant person.

He thought that except for Choi Do-yoon, no one could match him in swordsmanship among the lords.

He naturally thought that he was the strongest among the lords, and that if there was a vacancy for an executor, that position would surely be his.

But one day, the lord who appeared out of nowhere with a pile of books showed him the cruelty of reality.

“That’s enough.”

Yu-hyun’s tone towards Wi Wolseong had changed to a natural condescension.

Wi Wolseong blushed with shame and gnawed at his teeth.

‘I’ll make you regret insulting me.’

His original plan to suppress Yu-hyun from the start had failed, but he still had something to do.

‘The others too, they were watching with interest and didn’t stop me until now, but now they act like they have nothing to do with it…!’

Wi Wolseong also felt dissatisfied with the actions of the other lords. If only one of them had tried to stop him, he wouldn’t have lost face so much.

Wi Wolseong sent a signal to his subordinates with his eyes to prepare for what was about to happen. His subordinates replied with their eyes that they understood.

The meeting proceeded in a tense atmosphere. Wi Wolseong raised his hand and sent a signal.

It was a signal to execute the operation.

At the same time, Yu-hyun’s mouth opened to preside over the meeting.

“Before we start the discussion on whether to fight or not with the Salio Empire, there is one thing we need to do first.”

‘Wait.’

Wi Wolseong felt something strange in Yu-hyun’s words and sent a signal to stop moving.

His subordinates, who were about to move, couldn’t adapt to the sudden change of atmosphere and looked around.

Everyone’s eyes turned to Yu-hyun.

“While we are all gathered here, we need to get rid of the spy from the Salio Empire who is trying to start a rebellion in this conference hall.”

Everyone’s eyes were filled with doubt at the word spy.

But only one person.

There was one person who couldn’t pass off Yu-hyun’s guess as mere curiosity.

“Isn’t that right? Mr. Wi Wolseong of the White Sword Sect?”

Yu-hyun’s eyes were on Wi Wolseong.

His gaze said that he knew everything that Wi Wolseong was trying to do since he entered this place.
