#580. donât tell me in advance
* * *
At that moment,
silence descended.
It wasnât just the filming location.
The silver-haired dictator who spewed vodka.
A gray-haired priest with Krembo hanging around his neck.
A sword master in a nunâs uniform blinking blankly.
Regardless of absolutes and criminals, hundreds of millions of viewers who watched TV lost their words.
Among them, the most embarrassed person was, of course, Han Jeong-guk, who was sitting across from Limon.
âHa ha ha ha, you are good at jokes. Killing a swordsman, who would do such an outrageous thing?â
It was only for a moment that it was hardened.
Han Jeong-guk, who suddenly came to his senses, laughed and tried to pass off Limonâs words as a joke.
Quick response like a politician.
If Limon had said that it was actually a joke, everyone would have been able to overcome the situation naturally with laughter.
Butâ¦
âDo I sound like a joke?â
ââ¦â
Crooked posture.
sullen expression.
to cold words.
Limonâs attitude, which seemed to be cut with a knife, rather made everyone aware.
That just wasnât a joke.
It is a fact that clearly happened.
that it is the truth.
ââ¦Now hold on a second. Are you saying that the country tried to kill the swordsman?â
It seems that I came to my senses only belatedly.
Limon calmly answered Choi Jung-seokâs puzzled question.
âwell. At least, Unit 909, which had to be approved by the President, was included among the kids who came to kill me.â
In other words, Han Jeong-guk, sitting across from him, ordered his murder.
At the bombshell declaration, Choi Jeong-seok caused an earthquake in his pupils, and Kim Seung-jun and other staff also made an expression as if their eyes would pop out.
Naturally, Han Jeong-guk was frightened by the words as well.
âSwordsmith, what nonsense is that!â
âwhy? Itâs not like I made up something that didnât exist.â
âyouâ¦!â
Contrary to the time before when he praised Limon and showed off his friendship, Han Jeong-guk gritted his teeth.
Only then did he realize.
It was also an absurd misunderstanding that inviting him to this broadcast would be a gesture of reconciliation.
Limonâs purpose is rather the opposite.
In other words, he was trying to make this place his execution ground in the first place.
âYouâre making up such a false accusation just because thereâs been something sad about the country! Very disappointed!â
âAre you going to insist on being framed?â
âYou are the one who insists! Slandering the president of a country is unacceptable, even if you are a national hero!â
Thatâs why Han Jeong-guk desperately questioned him.
What if we accept Limonâs words in this situation that is being broadcast live all over the world, let alone the whole country?
No, even if the people have even the slightest suspicion, they are doomed.
Whether the opponent is a sword master.
Whether itâs a legendary national hero.
With his head already on the guillotine, he literally had no choice but to prove his innocence at the risk of his life.
Seeing Han Jeong-guk like that, Limon smiled.
âDo you think you did something that would be unacceptable no matter how you think about it?â
âThatâs why I frame people without proofâ¦!â
âWho said there was no evidence?â
That moment.
Han Jeong-gukâs eyes were shaking.
He can endure this because he has already thoroughly disposed of anything that could serve as evidence.
But what if there are still evidence or witnesses that you havenât taken care of yet?
âNo, this is a bluff!â
Han Jeong-guk was heartbroken.
If Limon had such evidence, he would have exposed it long ago.
Even if there is, it doesnât matter.
If one or two pieces of evidence were to be accused of fabrication, even real things could be faked.
Butâ¦
âIf you really want, Iâll show you that proof.â
Right.
The moment Limon snapped his fingers.
All kinds of images and documents floated on the screen behind them.
From Han Jeong-gukâs order permitting Unit 909 to mobilize, records of receiving all sorts of bribes, and even videos of sexual favors.
Dozens of piles of evidence were overflowing, unable to fill the large screen.
âAs I was collecting evidence, I heard that the information about your corruption was also collected and added as a bonus. Donât hesitate and accept it to your heartâs content.â
âHow?â
It seems that you are satisfied with this.
Looking at Limon, who smiled coldly.
Han Jeong-guk was stunned.
Letâs say itâs proof that he seduced Limon at Park Hyeon-gunâs request.
However, it was hard to believe that he even secured evidence of corruption committed before he became president.
Very few people know that fact.
If itâs even possible to steal evidenceâ¦
âSurely?â
Han Jeongguk looked around.
Then, realizing that a person waiting among the staff had disappeared, he widened his eyes.
âDid you buy the chief secretary! how? Since when?â
Also finding Limonâs weakness.
Also destroying the evidence.
everything else.
Han Jeong-guk was shocked as if he had been beaten in the back of the head with a mace by the fact that the chief of staff whom he trusted and entrusted everything to betrayed him.
They are a community of destiny.
As much as they are entangled in all sorts of corruption, when he is finished, the chief of staff will be finished as well.
I couldnât understand why he did this crazy thing.
âAll of this was obtained through illegal voyeurism and eavesdropping, so it has no legal effect!â
âI donât really care if you are judged by the law or not.â
âThen why did you do this?!â
âAre you the one who wanted proof?â
ââ¦â
Looking at Limon who spoke coldly.
Han Jeong-guk was frustrated.
Because I knew.
The fact that it was legally effective, that it was Nabal, and that he was finished at the point when all this evidence was announced.
ââ¦why.â
No matter how much I think about it, I am in a situation where there is no way out anymore.
Han Jeong-guk, after several times opening his mouth, finally opened his mouth as if moaning.
âWhy did you come here nowâ¦â
âItâs a simple matter.â
I donât know when the chief of staff was bought, but at this level, the evidence must have been stolen from the beginning.
Why did you reveal it now?
To Han Jeong-guk, who was dumbfounded, Limon answered calmly.
âI just didnât feel the need to do this at the time.â
ââ¦â
âBut thatâs not a reason to keep it buried until I see you messing around to take advantage of me.â
If it was before the sword masterâs prestige was restored.
Even if such a revelation was made, it would have been difficult for it to become a big issue, and it would have been annoying to have everyone believe it.
Limon, who was busy carrying around the Liberation Brigade, couldnât afford to waste it.
But now itâs different.
As long as the interest in the sword master skyrocketed, it was possible to end everything with just one word.
It was unexpected luck that Li Qingyu had already bought the chief of staff and collected evidence.
âWell, why didnât you just stay calm? If I lived as if the rat was dead, I could have passed on without stepping on it.â
Only then did Hanjeongguk understand.
That Limon didnât touch him because he really treated him like a rat.
They are insignificant creatures that donât even feel the need to wipe out rat holes by themselves unless they squeak and riot.
Thatâs why Han Jeong-guk couldnât understand it even more.
âThen you could just move on! Didnât you know that your reputation as a national hero would come to an end as soon as this happened?â
âWhat do you mean?â
âYou mean the massacres you carried out, including Unit 909!â
Among the evidence presented by Limon was a report that he had killed more than 100 players, including Unit 909.
This is not a matter of self-defense.
Even if it avoids the judgment of the law, it is an incident that will suffer from all sorts of criticism for being too radical.
But why did he reveal his own stigma just to catch himself?
Looking at Han Jeong-guk asking in desperation.
Limon tilted his head.
âNo, other than that, Iâm a national hero.â
ââ¦?â
âI guess you forgot. I am not originally a citizen of this country.â
ââ¦!â
âI am a Duke of Great Britain and an honorary citizen of the United States of America. He is also the Khan of the Russian Khanate, the Grand General of Africa, and the Grand Master of the Commonwealth of China.â
over the past hundreds of years.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
How many times have you saved the world?
As a result, he was the first person with multiple nationalities who received everything from medals to titled citizenship in dozens of countries.
After the collapse, dual nationality was considered illegal and became single nationality, but it is only a domestic legal standard.
At least in most foreign countries, his status and nationality were maintained.
âBut honestly, I donât know why you treat me as a hero for your country.â
âThatâs rightâ¦â
Han Jeong-guk was at a loss for words.
reason?
Itâs that simple.
For hundreds of years, he was a hero of our country.
Just as no one wonders why the sun is one, they have never questioned that obvious common sense.
whether he is not dark-haired.
Even if the last name and first name are unusual.
âThen donât tell me in advance.â
Realizing that fact anew, he left Han Jeong-guk hardened.
Limon slowly looked away.
Then, facing the camera that was filming him from the front, he continued his cold words.
âDonât treat me as your hero.â
not a limited country.
towards all citizens.
âI never defended the world to gain honor.â
âIâm afraid of losing my honor, so I donât even want to notice you guys.â
âMy honor is mine alone.â
Honor is what you build yourself.
I am not borrowing from others.
Itâs not more than what others throw away.
So, even if you praise yourself as a national hero, your achievements do not belong to them.
âNo matter what you praise me for, I will not be used in any convenient way.â
Just as they didnât care when they forgot them in the past, they would ignore it even if they praised them.
After speaking coldly.
Limon turned his head again and looked at Han Jeong-guk and asked quietly.
âYou understand?â
ââ¦!â
That moment.
Han Jeong-guk peed.
The moment golden eyes saw him.
A sudden feeling of pressure on my heart.
And the shock of the whitening of his head and the shaking of his limbs caused him to let his bladder loose in his sitting position.
An outrageous cataclysm in which the president of a country urinates on a live broadcast.
It just didnât catch on camera.
The staff at the filming site could see all the yellow water dripping under his chair.
However, no one was really surprised by that fact.
Even though they didnât meet Limonâs eyes directly, the cool energy that was transmitted clearly made them stiff.
they realized
This is the true absolute.
You can face the world alone.
Thatâs why itâs an existence that can go to the middle of the day while ignoring the reputation of others.
The moment when Han Jeong-guk, who could not stand the pressure of such an absolute, was about to turn his eyes.
âSwordsmith.â
small soft hands.
It touched Limonâs back.
âI think you should do this.â
Did it come sooner or later?
Hearing the words of Li Qingyu, a black-haired girl who seemed to rise out of thin air, Li Mon closed his eyes.
And after nodding.
Wrap your arms around her waist.
Najik opened his mouth.
âOkay, letâs go.â
Phaging.
right after that.
Limon and Li Ching-yu disappeared.
That was the moment when an unprecedented broadcasting accident broke out in which the main character disappeared during a live broadcast and the other invited guests remained silent.
At the same time, it was the moment when KTB recorded an audience rating of 86%⦠and
the moment when the petition for impeachment against the president began a historic record of over 10 million people in one day.

âGood work Princess. Thanks to you, the job was done easily.â
ââ¦â
âWhy are you looking like that?â
Leviathanâs penthouse.
After crossing the space and returning to the familiar bed with Li Qingyu in her arms.
Limon, who casually brushed her hair and kissed her, tilted his head.
Contrary to the original plan, it was unexpected that Li Qingyu intervened during the broadcast.
why the serious face
because I couldnât know
At the end of staring at him.
Li Qingyu asked quietly.
âWhat did Swordsman just do?â
âWhat have you done? I just gave the nasty guy some glare.â
ââ¦I bet you didnât realize it?â
âWhat do you mean?â
Itâs like you donât know the meaning.
Limon put on a puzzled expression.
Li Qingyu made a complicated expression.
And after thinking for a while, he opened his mouth again.
âI think you should meet Maia right now.â
âI told you not to worry about your injuries. To the point of being treated by a doctor on purposeâ¦â â
Itâs not because of your injuries.â
âhuh?â
Li Qingyu hesitated.
Are you feeling right?
And I wasnât sure if I could say this.
But I know very well that it is not something that can be hidden.
With a heavy sigh, she continued with a distraught face she had never seen before.
âBecause the swordsmith just used the dragon psionic.â
