Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

"Brother?"

A very soft voice called out.

,m If it were before, Angzen would've been so happy to see the figure that emerged. But now, his entire body was trembling when thinking that this seemingly kind and weak rabbit had bitten off more than what she could chew!

'Does he know?' Feizen's heart skipped a bit, seeing her brother's sudden anger.

Dammit!

'These loose-mouthed villagers must've told him about mom and dad's passing.'

The more she thought of it, the more likely it seemed. Yes. It was only fitting for him to get angry, realizing that their parents had died a while back.

But her main concern was on how much her brother knew.

Did the villagers tell him the exact time they died?

You have to know that even after their death, she had extorted money from him, using the excuse of taking care of their parents.

Feizen's body quivered in fright, though she tried maintaining a graceful and kind nature.

'No! I must not let this money-bag slip away!'

Hello? Did you see the car outside? It was impossible for her to let this brother of hers go.

"Brother... You're here." She choked on her fake tears as though wanting to express all the grievances she encountered during his absence.

Her acting was so real that even Angzen began doubting if they were mistaken or not.

Very quickly, Feizen hugged Angzen tightly, waiting out her injustices.

Her face looked pitiful, but her heart was very prickly instead.

'What's going on? Why isn't brother reacting? Isn't he supposed to hug and comfort me like he used to?'

She had visited Angzen several times in the city, so she more or less still had him wrapped around her little finger. So how could she not notice how strange his reaction was?

It was so out of character!!!

.

"Brother?"

"Hmmm..." Angzen replied hoarsely, slowly pursuing her away from him. And the current village chief, as well as the former village chief and 2 other elders, all looked at each other tactfully.

It seems there was some truth to the rumors.

This Feizen might treat her brother like gold, but he might not necessarily feel the same for her.

Or could there be a strange reason that they don't know about?

As people who were either once in power or are still in power, how could they conclude things so easily? Looking at Angzen's face, as well as thinking of his past here in Soppo village, he also looked like an honest person too.

So who was wrong and who was right?

Many villages were quick to take sides, but they stood in a neutral position.

And the only reason they all came out was because they were coincidentally gathered in the same room, talking about one of the village projects.

Indeed. Only the current 33-year-old village chief should've gone. However, the news made the others too curious to pass up.

With a big man backing Angzen, they also wanted to see how the current village chief would handle this matter.

They saw this as one of many tests, testing his true character and ability to handle unexpected issues.

Of course, even if Angzen was in the wrong, and he sided with Angzen, they would also understand that he didn't want to offend some big shit that could suppress their families and ruin their children's futures.

Everyone was on my human in the end. However, they wanted to know how he would compensate the Fei girl if he chose that route.

Sometimes on the surface, one can agree with the masses but go behind closed doors to help others.

Likewise, he could also tell her to step back and demand for Angzen to pay off a massive compensation to her.

After all, according to the rumors... She took care of their deceased parents with no financial aid from Angzen.

So even in the court of law, he indeed owed her a hefty sum of compensation... That is if everything about the rumors were true.

For now, all 4 men stayed in a neutral stance, wanting to see how this matter would unfold.

.

"Chief Bozing!"

"Come now, Little Ang. I'm no longer village chief. You remember my son, Kizing, right?"

"Ah-... Yes, yes, I do!" Angzen nodded vigorously. How could he forget this workaholic?

Back when they were young, this guy used to be addicted to work. It's not surprising that he was now village head.

"Congratulations."

"Thank you," Kizing replied, scrutinizing Angzen even more.

'This guy doesn't seem to have changed. The rumor that money had made him proud seems like a lie. If so, what else is a lie about him?'

Call it his intuition, but Kizing felt the rumors weren't true.

"Elders!"

Angzen respectfully greeted the other 2 seniors who came in with Bozing and Kizing.

Well, the more the merrier.

"Seniors, village chief Kizing, if you don't mind, I would like you all to stand witness to today's events."

Oh?

All 4 raised their brows, feeling that things were already getting tense before it began.

"Hey, what's going on in there? Can you hear a thing?"

Outside, many whispered while placing their ears on the doors, windows, and walls.

Such juicy gossip was good to hear from the source itself!

Witness?

Someone quickly relayed the words, and the others already made cinematic clips in their heads, thinking Angzen was here to divide their deceased parent's properties.

"Chan-ki."

"On it, Grandmaster."

Eh?

Everyone in the room was taken aback by the guard's strange way of calling the youngster. Grandmaster? What sort of title was this?

Or rather, what extraordinary level of proficiency did this guy reach in his profession?

The more they looked at the youth, the more mysterious he became.

And every one of them thought of different things.

[Feizen]: This must be a wealthy man!

[All 4]: This youngster is not easy!

With confused faces, they watched Chan-ki place what looked like sticky notes all over the doors and windows, with a few more on the floor and ceiling.

Erm... Who can tell them what this was all about? And how come a single throw could stamp these papers on the ceiling so effortlessly? What sort of throwing strength did this guard have?

Chan-ki nodded in satisfaction at his work. "Grandmaster, it's done."

"Good... Then let's begin!"
