Ep29| Council of the Hour

Chronology

(South Korea, 1393)

Where the weather is pitch black and the rain is so strong

Your Majesty, how are you? It's been a long time since we last met, don't you think?

- CJ Shin!! what are you doing here

-Oh you're looking at me, that's right, it seems I got used to the name Rene and forgot my name in this age

The blond with long hair imposed on his shoulders smiled while wearing an open Korean kimono that revealed his chest

-You! Isn't it done? How did you come back, you are really a beast guards, guards!!

King Taejo shouted loudly for the guards to enter the guards with great speed while holding their swords

They found nothing and the king was sitting in his bed with the window open and water entering through the window

One of the soldiers quickly closed the window while the rest of the guards bowed

Sir, what happened?

Taeju spoke frightened and in a trembling voice -An

, it's Seji Shin

The guards' features turned frightened and their hands started trembling while holding their weapons. They swallowed their saliva and panic began to eat their features.

The chief of the guard spoke in a trembling voice

- To you, but, sir, that man died a year ago, what I mean is that you were able to eliminate him, how could he be alive?!

"Now I have to think about it, since Renee has destroyed all the portals that were in all parts of the world in the past year, that means that the portal I made will be the only way out for all organizations, but... I wonder what made other scientists unable to make The gates he made earlier?"

"One moment, could it be that Renee killed all the scientists who previously worked on making the Gates? But… he sure knows I made one, my God. It's hard to know what this guy really thinks!"

Lorena lay on her bed and covered her eyes with the wrist of her right hand

Although two years have passed, I still don't know how to deal with that man's mind

Ah, I think I should sleep to start a new day

The next morning, in the administration office, the members of the Clock Council sat in the Extermination Organization

- Lester, Yoon Ha, Lee Joon, Han, Lorena, Julas, Patricia, and I, Big Old Lee, Lee Joon Woo

- You know very well that your sitting in these chairs means that you have surpassed all members of the organization, either in strength or in intelligence, and also means that you have obtained this position through your hard work for many years.

We all did this except for that woman

Patricia, don't say that, you know Lorena came here with a specific purpose and she's proven her abilities in spite of her short time, but she has proven her strength, which is why it wouldn't be good for you to talk about her like that.

- Your sitting in your places represents your ranking in strength in general, in terms of strength and intelligence, here and in this place, all of you...or rather, all of us from different places.

Patricia, you are from France, Yoon Ha is from South Korea, Leicester is from Italy, Han is from China, Yulas is from Africa, Lorena is from America, I am from Korea, and Lee Joon is half American and half Korean.

-This means we are all strangers to each other, but the reason for our being here is one and that is to eliminate the enemy of this world, and the person who wants to rule us.

-Haha, the person who woke up this person is also sitting among us

- That's enough Patricia, let's talk about what's going on at this time

- Well, chief

- As you know, in the previous two years, all the gates used by countries around the world were destroyed. The number of gates was previously from twenty to thirty.

Chief, what you're trying to say, our association is the only place left that has a gate

- That's right, Jules, but... why hasn't that person come to destroy our gate yet? It was finished a year ago and we're still preparing the gates' time-transfer clocks

Chief, do you think that the reason for keeping this gate is a trap for us?

-I thought about this too Yoon Ha, it might be a trap orchestrated by that guy and it might be something else our minds can't come up with yet.

- I lived with Rene for a short time, but I knew a few things about him, like... he doesn't like being lied to, he doesn't like getting close to women, despite everything about him, he's a kind of sensitive person, and most of all he doesn't can hurt me

- But with this, you could not stop him at that time, and when he knew you had betrayed him, he killed your best friend, so as I see it, Renee has no feelings for anyone and can torture even the one he loves easily without batting an eye.

Lorena intertwined her fingers while the signs of loss of hope are evident on her face and sadness eats her from top to bottom

You're right, Lester, I just wish...

Lorena squeezed her fingers hard and shrieked in anger as she closed her eyes and gritted her teeth

And all her companions looked quietly and felt sorry for her, except for Patricia, who was looking at her with contempt and a clear hatred in her eyes, while her hands were suffocated to her chest and leaned on the chair, her right foot on top of the other.

I will solve everything, but first I must borrow your strength, all of you guys

Lorena got up and grabbed the two of them to hit them on the table

I want your help to get rid of the evil of this world. Lend me your strength, and I will lend you my mind, and with this we will push evil toward the abyss.
