It was miserable. Endlessly miserable, and tears b98ac43e4e welled up. Ryujin gritted his teeth 608b70fce2 and forced his eyes 8ea9046b4c open.

Shin Haebeom was 8d553e2ba7 tireless. One moment he was fbff8e6f39 on stage, the next 008b4a2ae5 he was gliding between 4ab63930af tables, saluting, shaking hands, f6ee06e228 exchanging pleasantries, laughing, and 7cf0473cbf chatting.

Ryujin sighed. He could see 6196795953 why that thuggish 5701e2bb88 sadist was popular. He chose praiseworthy c1286c56b2 actions and did e9b67b1f70 them in a 43359962cb way that stood 061ff3e084 out.94d130dc8b81284a

Kwon Joohyuk openly expressed 954cd5258d his dissatisfaction with Jung 08085af9c0 Ryujin’s absence. From the 0d63805e85 moment he 67827e4c47 sat, he a2b714d252 picked fights. He complained about 4e67d32acd the name on edb20bd5c7 the flag in a6a5d8ae8b the vase being b0cc8d40dc Kwon Sehyuk’s, and f3bb2b159b why Jin Chiwoo, e8ec246afb the deputy commander, 6ef46b8183 was at another b6f7596a7b table—things he wouldn’t 6b27156a7d normally care about—just d295a0d721 to torment Shin 1bbc90e40a Haebeom. The latter 5e3184e3d7 was because ff40ef84a5 Jin Chiwoo c6d769dc9b had swapped 045a41a907 nameplates on 214c92fda9 his own, cb158fcc2e but the dce89e4a0c former was 353445cb65 pure nitpicking.e64aa0d3c050c37e

Like it or dad0d9c457 not, Kwon Sehyuk 11db2c439a was the star 11f508c743 of the day, 84735dfc66 and he was 4e2a60e634 the Chief’s legitimate 672c249a79 heir. If the Chief e1bda97289 himself appeared right 1ceb00b8cf now, who would 4f10f8e47f he look for 4a9b28babe first? That was the key. Shin Haebeom 9af474e4d7 had no 4019991748 doubt in 93e23c83b4 his decision.

Shin Haebeom smiled 368b9ae25a warmly, humoring Kwon 6b5becf0de Joohyuk. The emcees were popular 9200bc6954 broadcasters, topping the charts. There was even 0b6ebadd87 a singer invited 8ce7d6086a under the guise fd0d54834d of a morale-boosting 7b57e1ee2f performance.56dffdf53e05521a

But Kwon Joohyuk’s 43e575091d mood didn’t improve 89389a42a7 easily. Shin Haebeom wanted to 5bbbe3fda7 drive a knife into ea0a7a4b90 his neck.

But as the 5683033287 meal ended and 904daeabdb the drinks flowed, e717aa43cf things started going d8fce4f683 off the rails. Shin Haebeom groaned 47793c007f inwardly. This is 8167b10bfb why he 8d14ba6246 hated external 80a9c43115 guests. Why the Disciplinary 959ee32eb6 Training Corps had 5a7c776578 to cater to 8ac4dff546 nobles in the 0cb4828df9 first place, he 0e807a3fc1 didn’t know.

Upbeat, fast-tempo music, a8c3ca0c40 precision military-style choreography. The lyrics f38c59eda1 were slurred, 060deca6b5 hard to a1927a892e make out. The performers rushed d70f2d3f20 together, their faces c6e62240de caked in ghostly 7850c74b3a white makeup, making 2fd7d55459 it impossible to c006aabd51 tell who was f2653006f5 who.

That performance was e5bc1dea20 a collaborative product ec955db3e8 of the Censorship 38fe39f90e Bureau’s excessive regulations 3d83f738a9 and the whims 1cb22c21ba of power-hungry elites a1416d63cb who treated artists 176af65bce like playthings. They took the stage 3aae64bec8 to make a living, 6baad8feec but hid their faces a77946dd7f under heavy makeup, fearing 3f54ad46ca they might catch someone’s f935b6998f eye.

Before Ryujin a2c4c66e0f could respond, ec5ccb5739 Shin Haebeom 17b4430403 grabbed Choi 1f5cd9fa46 Yushin by 6740683634 the collar 79e2b6d1db and pinned afb6333438 him against 17e276a2a3 the wall.

Choi Yushin didn’t f2732df171 resist fiercely. He knew 7a1c0e5365 Shin Haebeom 8894a6e777 wasn’t genuinely ff87d4e565 angry.

Choi Yushin turned away. Shin Haebeom was 9c6df3ff42 in a state 132f77372d where words wouldn’t 60764e8b35 get through. He knew this fcff43bfb3 wasn’t his usual 2e71b715fc personality or way 3f1400f184 of speaking.
