Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131: A SOBER CONFESSION

[Last night...]

KI GAYOON woke up in a hospital room.

He immediately checked on his condition. It was obvious that an Esper with a high level of healing abilities treated him. After all, not a single scar was left on his body.

Still, it’s so fucking embarrassing that I fainted because of Mana depletion.

"Congratulations on waking up, Yoonyoon!"

POP!

Moon Noa’s annoying voice was followed by the sound of the confetti cannon popping, pulling Gayoon out of his deep thoughts.

What the fuck?

Gayoon was now covered in stupid confetti.

And, so, he glared at the "culprit."

"Sly fox, do you want to die?"

"If you want to date my "son," you better start respecting me now, Yoonyoon."

Gayoon scoffed at the sly fox’s stupid claim. "Noh Yuno isn’t your son."

"I didn’t say any name, and yet you already assumed I was talking about Yuyu," Moon Noa said, his eyes turning into little crescent moons as he smiled mischievously. "So, you want to date our Yuyu?"

"..."

Now Gayoon couldn’t even deny it.

Dammit.

"Our Yuyu is actually confined in the next room since he fainted— hey, sit down."

Gayoon was about to bolt out of the room to check on Noh Yuno, but Moon Noa grabbed him by the sleeve of his hospital pajama top and pulled him back.

"Binbin, Sasa, Matmat, and Jinjin were sent to Busan to raid the enemy’s hideout last night."

Binbin= Ryu Sungbin.

Sasa= Lee Sarang.

Matmat= Matthew.

Jinjin= Jin Sooin.

Yes, Moon Noa was talking about the Top 5 Espers.

This sly fox has an awful naming sense— just like Noh Yuno.

"Last night?"

"You were unconscious for an entire day, Yoonyoon. So, Chief Kim Munhee and President Kwak Hakjae sent the four and let you rest."

Tsk.

"Thanks to Yuyu’s hard work, the criminals that we caught spat out the location of their hideout here in Korea— and it was just in a remote village on Nami Island," Moon Noa continued with his explanation. "Unfortunately, when your fellow Top 5 arrived there, the entire place had been abandoned already."

"They probably knew that the criminals that we caught would open their mouths."

"Yes, and it’s because they knew Yuyu is an E-Class Guide. So, they knew Yuyu had a way to make the criminals talk."

"So, they abandoned them."

"According to Yuyu, those two criminals were just bait that the SECO used to distract us. Hence, they were planning to ditch those "baby chicks." They probably hoped that the baby chicks would talk while being interrogated, and then die after the bombs in their hearts get activated. However, Yuyu removed the bombs so we were able to interrogate them properly."

Gayoon knitted his eyebrows. "’SECO?’"

"Suspicious E-Class Organization," Moon Noa said proudly, his eyes sparkling. "We need a name to call our new enemies, so I came up with one. Aren’t I a genius?"

Tsk.

I’m sure no one complained even if the name sucks because this sly fox has a high position despite his annoying personality.

But the name wasn’t the only problem.

"It sounds like we’re demonizing the E-Class Guides," Gayoon complained. "Once the public finds out that the one who killed those poor Guides were E-Class Guides, the public will have a negative impression of E-Class Guides. I don’t want Noh Yuno to be hated just because he was born an E-Class Guide and some of his fellow E-Class Guides are scumbags."

"I understand where you’re coming from, but don’t worry," Moon Noa assured him. "The fact that the criminals are E-Class Guides won’t get leaked. And I’ve already started building up Yuyu’s reputation. So, even if people find out that he’s an E-Class Guide, they won’t be able to villainize my kid."

"Why do you keep calling Noh Yuno your "kid" these days? You’re fifteen years older than him, so there are people out there gullible enough to believe that you had a secret child during your teenage years."

"Let them be."

"You want that rumor to spread, huh? But why?"

"My family is filthy rich."

"Everyone knows the Moonsung Group controls the economy of our country— then and now."

The Moonsung Group was the biggest conglomerate in Korea.

Their wealth didn’t disappear even during the apocalypse. In fact, the rich only got richer during that time.

"I am filthy rich even without my inheritance from my family."

"Yeah, I know. What point are you trying to make?"

"My wealth and family name will protect Yuyu someday, so I want people to think that he’s my heir."

"Does Noh Yuno know about that?"

"Of course not. Do you think Yuyu would be happy if rumors about him being my hidden illegitimate son spread?"

"No. Noh Yuno has a weird obsession with promoting HoneyMoon products every chance he gets, but I don’t think he’d be thrilled to be mistaken as your "son.""

Now let’s see what this gift is all about.

***

["I LOVE my fellow Guides, but you crossed the line this time. You killed innocent Guides, and because you blindly followed Jacob Hyung-nim, I almost lost my Esper."]

Yes, that sounds like something the sly fox would do.

My Babe Princess must be tired.

Princesses should live freely without worrying about a thing.
