The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman - Chapter 625
Chapter 625
Aris smiled brightly and waved the document in her hand as if she meant it when she told her to choose a mission.
“Ugh…”
Raon pressed his lips down while looking at the fluttering documents.
‘I’m embarrassed…’
I feel embarrassed for the first time in a long time since I was acting like a baby to Sylvia. My face is hot. When I looked in the mirror, it was clear that my cheeks would be red.
-Wow…
Lars shook his head as if it was absurd.
– This king has also met many assholes, but this is the first time he has met such a asshole. It’s a troublemaker in a different sense than an ear.
‘yes.’
I nodded briefly. Usually, bastards go on a rampage based solely on the nobility of their blood, but Aris has both blood and ability.
Even in Sieghardt, the Sixth Emperor, the only person who could handle her was Glenn.
“If you can’t choose, would you like your aunt to choose for you?”
Aris leafed through the documents she was holding and lifted one up.
“This is good. They say that North-South Alliance beetles have scouted our territory, the Parin River. Go and get George. “It’s a rehearsal to catch your father.”
She laughed, saying that she should send a warning to the North and South Korean lords and their fathers.
“This is okay too. Monsters are gathering in the Tonon Plain in the northwest. Because the Gwangpungdae had group training. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to participate in a large-scale war. And…”
Aris told me the contents of the document one by one and selected good missions.
“Uh…”
“What is it?”
“Is this right?”
The executives looked at Aris and Raon alternately with blank eyes.
“If you don’t want to be bitten by a crazy dog, just stay still.”
Balder raised his fist at the executives as if to tell them to shut up. It seemed like he didn’t want to increase the number of victims other than himself.
“Someone is crazy!”
Aris furrowed her brow and slapped Balder on the waist.
“Sigh!”
Balder fell to the floor, then stood up and assumed a posture that made his muscles stand out. It seemed like there was no pain thanks to the muscles, but it seemed like there was no more pain.
“Keuung…”
Raon touched his itching temple with his fingers. I was becoming more and more embarrassed, so much so that my hands were shaking.
“Hey, Aris.”
Just as I was about to tell Aris to please stop, Denier stood up.
“sister.”
Denier shook his head as he approached Aris.
“Please calm down. “This doesn’t help Raon.”
“Are you trying to interfere too?”
“That’s not it. As you said, it is good to be considerate to first-time masters, and it is completely understandable to allow them to choose their mission first. But…”
He looked back and lowered his eyebrows.
“That has to be decided by Raon. If you were to spoon-feed and choose everything, it wouldn’t be of any help to the child’s growth. “You can’t have your sister at every round table, right?”
No matter what Denier’s reputation was, what he said now was a definite opinion that everyone here had no choice but to acknowledge.
However, Aris was a free person who disliked orthodoxy.
“Hmm.”
Aris slowly turned her gaze to look at Denier. The eyes of the two people are similar, but they are also not similar.
“You speak well.”
She tilted her chin and curled her lips.
“Because you speak well, there are a lot of things I want to eat.”
“Who are you?”
Denier didn’t understand what was being said and blinked.
“What you said is not wrong. That’s right. Just because you said that. “Why do you seem so pretentious?”
Aris turned his shoulders. It looked like he was about to throw a fist.
Raon let out a sigh. It would have been nice if he had listened to Denier’s words and stepped back, but as expected, Aris seemed to be trying to make the game bigger.
“Huh…”
Denier stepped back and took a defensive stance as if he had no choice. A strong energy burned beneath his feet, as if a stone wall had risen.
Coo coo coo coo!
Aris threw the papers back and stood up. Her whole body glowed with the fierce spirit of fighting spirit.
‘In the end, is this all there is?’
Raon sighed and looked at Aris. I opened my lips while tightening my neck.
“aunt.”
As soon as she said aunt, the eerie energy wave that had bloomed on Aris’ shoulders disappeared as if it had been washed away.
“huh. “My nephew!”
Aris laughed as if he had never been angry before.
“What’s happen?”
She waved her hand in a warm voice, different from when she pressed Denier.
“Wow, look at how your voice has changed. “You did it yourself.”
“shut up!”
Balder grunted at Aris and then kicked him in the shin.
“Heuk!”
He grabbed his shins and rolled on the floor. The shins don’t seem to be protected by muscles either.
“I also believe that what Lord Hyeonmu Jeon said is correct.”
Raon looked at Balder rolling around and then raised his gaze to Aris.
“I’m grateful that my aunt takes care of me because I’m new and have no seniority, but you don’t have to give me special treatment like this. “I will receive my duties through the proper method like other executives.”
I feel sorry for Aris, who takes care of me, but this is the right way to go from here.
“okay? “If that’s the case, there’s nothing you can do.”
Aris waved her hand and sat back down in Balder’s seat. He didn’t seem to be upset at all, but rather liked it.
‘As expected.’
I thought it was strange that Aris was more reckless than her natural personality, but I guess she just wanted me to stop her.
‘It must be because of me.’
It was clear that she wanted to make me look good to the executives by stopping Aris Sieghardt and accepting the mission on her own.
In other words, the goal was to improve my reputation.
“thanks. “Raon.”
Denier nodded slightly as if thanking her for understanding what he meant, and sat down.
“Ugh…”
Balder smoothed his shins, then got up and stood behind Aris again.
“I don’t know anything else, but I like that guy’s personality. “It’s unmanned.”
He seemed to have forgotten that he called me rude 10 minutes ago and gave me a thumbs up, saying he liked it.
His personality was so simple that it was hard to get a feel for him.
“Then keep going.”
Aris smiled with satisfaction and handed over the documents to Chad.
“Thank you.”
As Chadan received the document with trembling hands, his eyes turned in this direction. The way he clenched his fist seemed like he was pledging something.
“Then let’s start assigning missions again.”
Chad organized the documents while looking at Aris’s eyes.
Balder was still standing behind Aris. He could have taken someone else’s seat, but looking at him standing there, he was a very unique person.
“Aris explained the mission for me, so there’s no need to talk at length. “If you are an official who wants to take on the task of driving out the North-South alliance crossing the Parin River, please raise your hand.”
“….”
It’s quiet. No, it’s cold. All of the executives were watching Aris and me.
Raon closed his eyes and lowered his head. It seemed to everyone that he had no interest in the mission.
“Then we’ll take care of it.”
Swordmaster Ratain, who was sitting on the right, raised his hand. Since there was no one who opposed it, the Jeongeomdae took over the task.
“The next mission is to subdue the monsters gathered in the Tonon Plain. Seeing both large and small monsters coming together, it seems like a leader-level monster has been born. “Any officer who would like to take on this mission, please raise your hand.”
“….”
This time too, no one raised their hand. I immediately closed my eyes.
“We will do the subjugation mission.”
Trevin raised his hand. This time too, there was no one to oppose, so the Iron Squadron took over the task of subjugation.
“I’m glad that today’s roundtable proceeded quickly. “Then let’s keep going.”
Chad read the documents he had in order, and the relaxed executives took on their duties one by one.
“Oh, here it comes.”
Chad held up the document, a deep well forming at the corner of his mouth.
“This is a mission related to Sword Zone’s tomb, which I explained when I first told you about the situation on the continent.”
He tapped the document and licked his lips.
“We are Sieghardt. “No martial arts person in the world can reach our sword, but Baeksau, who currently knows the location of Sword Zone’s tomb, is not far from Sieghart’s territory.”
“Is that really true?”
“yes. It’s not inside our territory, but it’s close by. “If a grave is discovered near Sieghardt, a big problem could arise, so we need to take action in advance.”
Chad nodded, saying that Baeksau needed someone to retrieve the map and make a decision on whether or not the tomb could be opened.
“It will be quite a dangerous task as you may need to retrieve Sword Zone’s tomb map or go inside the tomb. “Still, if you are an officer who wants to take on the task, please raise your hand.”
“me!”
Balder immediately raised his hand.
“Our Jinmujeon is coming!”
“You can’t.”
Denier sighed and shook his head.
“If I go, I go! “I will show you that Sieghart is the strongest, not Sword Zone!”
Balder clenched his fist, saying that he would not go to get the treasure from the tomb, but to beat up anyone who came to the tomb.
“We haven’t finished the investigation of the heavy warfare mission yet. “Have you forgotten the matriarch’s orders?”
“Ah…”
Balder opened his mouth round as if he had finally remembered the investigation mission.
When they realized that the two electric poles were not moving, the executives who were not assigned to the mission raised their hands.
Raon looked at that and nodded.
‘Of course.’
Sword Zone’s Tomb was of a different level from the missions that had been done so far.
Nothing could compare to the fame and wealth that would be gained by conquering the tomb, as well as Dogeomjon’s martial arts skills.
No matter how much of a Sieghardt executive he was, it was natural to be attracted to him.
-Are you not raising your hand? You were aiming for that, right?
Lars tilted his head as if asking what he was doing.
“Raon.”
Aris also lifted his finger as if to choose this mission.
Raon savored his appetite while looking at the documents containing Chad, not Aris.
‘I said it was near Sieghardt a little while ago.’
Chad said that a White Saucer carrying a map to Sword Zone’s tomb was moving near Sieghardt’s territory.
If I thought about it carefully, it seemed like I could target Sword Zone’s tomb without taking on this mission.
‘It would be much more comfortable that way.’
In the end, Raon did not raise his hand and quietly observed the situation.
“I appreciate your participation, but this mission is dangerous, so it would be better to have more than two people go.”
“Ugh….”
“It’s a shame.”
“It was a good opportunity.”
The owners who were raising their hands lowered their hands at Chad’s advice. There were two executives left.
This is the head of the Yeongrangdae, Dronen, a direct descendant of Serena, the head swordsman.
Although I often saw Dronen in the throne room, I never had a conversation with him. He was a very quiet person.
“It looks like neither of you have any intention of making concessions. Since it is an urgent mission, it is not a good situation for sparring. “We decide by voting.”
Chad called out both men’s names and began voting on who should take on this task.
“If you think it would be a good idea for the Public Prosecutors’ Office to take over the mission, please raise your hand.”
“me!”
When Aris supported Serena, most of the neutral executives who noticed raised their hands.
It was as if the decision had been made even though it was not Dronen’s turn.
“Then, the Public Prosecutors’ Office will take over the duties regarding the Sword Zone Tomb. and… omg!”
Chad flipped through the papers and shrugged his shoulders.
“sorry. “I had a lot of work to do in between, so I forgot this mission.”
He lifted up the first document he had taken out again.
“This is a search mission in the Sieghardt area I mentioned at the beginning. If you want to take on this mission, raise your hand…”
“I will do it.”
Raon immediately stood up and raised his hand.
“uh?”
“You want to go scouting?”
“Why all of a sudden?”
When Balder said he would take on a reconnaissance mission that could be considered a chore, all the executives sitting at the round table widened their eyes.
“As Hyeonmu Jeonju and Jinmu Jeonju said, I thought it was better to do what we can for now. “As a junior, our Gwangpungdae will be in charge of this reconnaissance.”
“Uh um.”
Balder blinked in embarrassment when Raon said he would follow his words.
“Oh, that doesn’t matter.”
He took a step back from Aris, as if he was worried about getting hit again.
“I want to do what you said….”
“No. “I will slowly scout and reflect on what kind of place Sieghart is.”
Raon shook his head and declared that he would take on this mission.
“nice! “As expected, I like your personality!”
Balder nodded with satisfaction when he saw Aris staying still.
“okay. Reconnaissance is also an important mission! Make sure to finish it! And at the next round table, I will take care of your duties. “I’ll assign you the best one.”
He pounded his chest as if telling me to trust only him.
“Whoops.”
On the other hand, Aris smiled brightly as if she realized the intention behind the reconnaissance mission.
“….”
Denier also seemed to understand my thoughts and narrowed his eyes.
“As expected, there is no opposition. Then, the reconnaissance mission will be handled by Gwangpungdae.”
Chad looked at the reactions of the executives sitting at the round table and nodded.
Raon smiled softly as he looked at the executives’ eyes that had clearly changed.
* * *
“Raon guy. “I mean.”
Balder let out a loud laugh as he followed Denier as he left the round table conference room.
“You don’t like my personality? I used to get annoyed just by looking at him because of Raiden’s work, but these days, every time I see him, he just says that he is happy with me. “If I had known it would be like this, I would have brought him to my house.”
He licked his lips regretfully.
“also.”
Denier looked at Balder’s smile and shook his head.
“You couldn’t read that kid’s mind.”
“What does that mean?”
“Why do you think Raon, who had shown no interest in reconnaissance, suddenly decided to take on a reconnaissance mission?”
“That guy said it. “I want to look back at Sieghart…”
“That’s not it.”
He waved his finger lazily.
“That’s because the guy who currently has the map of the Sword Zone is not far from Sieghart’s territory.”
“Then…”
“Okay. At that location, we can even search Sword Zone’s tomb in the name of reconnaissance. Raon was aiming for that. “We created a way to pursue practical benefits while gaining favor with executives.”
Denier let out a laugh, saying that he had an excellent understanding of the situation.
“Actually, everyone but you could have thought of that. But Raon was the one who judged and decided the fastest. “It’s hard to believe that that kid understood the situation faster than the executives who participated in the round table dozens of times.”
“Hmm…”
“The executives who realize that now might think they were tricked.”
“That’s not right.”
Balder shook his head resolutely.
“It’s not a joke, you should think that he’s amazing. I got the mission based on my abilities. Then it is right to praise him. “Those who complain about being tricked are narrow-minded people like rats.”
He laughed, saying it was right to praise Raon.
“The more I think about it, the more it’s a waste. “Someone with such intelligence should have come before us.”
“you.”
Denier narrowed his eyes as he looked at Balder.
“Aren’t you jealous?”
“jealousy?”
“Thanks to his older brother’s accident, Raon Sieghardt gained greater trust from his father and took the position of Great Lord. Perhaps, if he survives the life-or-death battle next year, he will become a direct descendant, Gwangpungdae will become a former member, and he will be a candidate for successor like us. “It means becoming your rival.”
“Hmm…”
Balder scratched his chin with his large hand.
“I also want the position of head of the family. I wish I could, and if I could, I would do whatever it takes. “Well, I wouldn’t do something like that person.”
He looked towards the hospital room as if he was thinking of Karun.
“You may feel jealous and even feel envious. However, if I fight against him with all my might and it doesn’t work, it means that he is the one who will make Sieghart bigger than me. “It doesn’t matter if you give in.”
Balder shook his head, saying that he could accept any head of the family as long as Sieghard could grow.
“….”
Denier looked at Balder and nodded.
“You don’t change.”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“It means to stay as is.”
Denier gently tapped Balder on the shoulder and returned to the current martial arts hall.
“Speak easily!”
Balder frowned as he looked at Denier’s back.
“It’s difficult!”

Two days later.
Raon went to the downtown area to receive the information he requested from the black market.
As I opened the door to the old statue in the corner of the shopping mall and entered, I felt the warm scent of wood that calmed my mind.
As I walked inside, counting the increasing number of pieces, the owner sitting at the counter took off his hood and bowed his head.
It was Denning Rose, wearing an eyepatch with a purple rose pattern.
“I meet you, Lord Gwangpung.”
Denning Rose lowered her head with a small smile on her lips.
“Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?”
Raon looked at Denning Rose with anxious eyes.
“You have become the great lord, so you must treat him accordingly.”
Denning Rose waved his hand, saying it was a natural thing for a businessman to do.
“Congratulations on becoming the head lord.”
“…thank you.”
Raon bowed his head and sat down in the seat shown to him by Denning Rose.
“But the branch manager came in person.”
“It’s the Lord’s request, so of course I have to come.”
Denning Rose smiled, saying it was polite to the guests.
“I would like to hear directly about your rise to the top, but we don’t have time, so let’s get straight to work. Things have changed a bit.”
Her outer eye flashed with a serious light.
“The situation has changed…”
“Just two days ago, Baek Sa-woo, who had the map to Sword Zone’s tomb, died and its owner has changed.”
“Who is this owner?”
“Seonggeomryeon.”
Denning Rose’s lips trembled briefly.
“The map of the Sword Zone is now in the hands of the Holy Sword Runner.”
