Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 157

Chapter 157: EVIL SCHEME

<"IS YOUR honeymoon over? I didn’t expect you to call me when you’re in the middle of your honeymoon, Yoonyoon~"> _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}

Ki Gayoon wasn’t surprised to hear Moon Noa teasing him as soon as the sly fox picked up the call. He really didn’t want to call Moon Noa in the middle of his "honeymoon," but he had to work.

Hence, he stepped out of the hotel’s restaurant for a moment.

Of course, he didn’t leave Noh Yuno alone.

He’s with Kang Dabin and Lucca now.

To be honest, Gayoon didn’t want Noh Yuno to meet Lucca in person.

But what could he do? Kang Dabin brought his Guide-slash-boyfriend there.

"Noa Hyung, I’m going to send an official challenge to Ryu Sungbin," Gayoon said, ignoring Moon Noa’s teasing. "I heard I need to get approval from President Cheol Kang, Chief Kim Munhee, and President Kwak Hakjae. Then, apparently, I’ll need to wait at least a month even after getting approval from those three big shots."

It was a process that he had already started.

To be precise, Baekho was already done writing the official request.

Gayoon just needed to sign it later.

<"Yeah, that’s true. Since this will be the first time that two Espers from the Top 5 would fight with their official spots on the line, I can already picture the media having a field day. Of course, President Cheol Kang will make a big deal out of your official match. He doesn’t care if one of you and Binbin gets hurt as long as the government earns profits from the fight.">

Right.

A fight as big as the fight between Gayoon and Ryu Sungbin would guarantee to earn the government high profits. He could already picture people fighting for tickets.

I’m sure the entire world would be dying to watch our fight.

"Hyung, you know why I want Ryu Sungbin’s spot, don’t you?"

<"Of course~ Once you become the official #1 Esper again, you’re going to share your power with Hakjae Hyung-nim. Then you’ll lead the Esper Association back to its former glory, right?">

"Yes, that’s the plan. The National Guide Bureau has no business treating Espers like they own us."

<"I’ll be rooting for you, then~">

"Hyung, I didn’t call you to hear you cheer me on. Your cheering doesn’t do shit for me anyway. The only person I want rooting for me is Noh Yuno."

Moon Noa burst out laughing.

This man-child...

"Hyung, are you playing dumb?"

<"Yoonyoon, I know what you want to hear from me. And don’t worry— I’m working hard to remove Chief Kim Munhee from her position. I’ll reclaim my position as the chief of the National Guide Bureau soon.">

Whew.

Yes, that was what Gayoon wanted to hear from Moon Noa.

But, of course, it wouldn’t be easy.

"Snatching the #1 Esper position from Ryu Sungbin is easier than reclaiming your spot in the National Guide Bureau, Hyung," Gayoon said. Yes, he was provoking Moon Noa on purpose. "If you lose to Chief Kim Munhee and Bambi, I’ll stop calling you ’hyung.’ You’ll be demoted back to ’sly fox’ again."

Once again, Moon Noa burst out laughing.

<"Thank you for the motivation, Yoonyoon. I’ll send you the good news soon.">

"I’ll be waiting then."

<"Is there something else you want to say to me?">

Gayoon paused for a moment, and then he sighed. "Noh Yuno shared his story with me. From the time he entered the Lab, up to the time when he called for help."

Noh Yuno didn’t share what happened after Moon Noa rescued him.

It seems like Yuno isn’t ready to share that part with me yet.

<"Yoonyoon, do you want me to tell you what I saw there when we rescued Yuyu and the others?">

"No," Gayoon said, shaking his head. "That’s something I want Noh Yuno to tell me when he’s ready. I just mentioned it to you because I want you to know that I regret it— I regret helping you when you asked me to join your rebellion back then."

<"Yoonyoon, you were busy hunting down Mother at the time. I didn’t hold a grudge against you back then. I’m sure Yuyu feels the same way I do.">

Right.

Even so, Gayoon still felt apologetic.

Especially after his latest discovery.

"Hyung, I met Yuyu before he awakened."

<"Really?">

"He was one of the Civilians who got buried when I destroyed the Facility during my Rampage. We recently found out that he was the Civilian I personally saved back then."

<"Hmm? If I remember correctly, that was when Yuyu awakened as a Guide.">

"That’s the fascinating part, Hyung. Noh Yuno awakened as a Guide after meeting me. What a coincidence, isn’t it?"

<"I don’t think it’s a mere coincidence.">

"What do you mean by that?"

<"Thanks for the information, Yoonyoon. I’ll call you later.">

And then Moon Noa ended the call.

Gayoon was left confused, knitting his eyebrows. "Does Noa Hyung think that I somehow affected Noh Yuno’s awakening?"

***

SO FREAKING handsome.

Yuno was amazed by the delicious food served at the buffet, but he couldn’t focus on his lunch because he was sitting across from Kang Dabin and Lucca.

Kang Dabin was Ki Gayoon’s one and only friend.

The sand manipulator hyung.

And it turned out that Kang Dabin’s Guide-slash-boyfriend was Lucca.

The ’general Guide’ who’s compatible with most Espers.

Kang Dabin and Lucca were a visual couple, for real.

"Madam, I don’t mind if you stare at my boyfriend’s face because I get it— Lucca’s face is a god gift to humanity," Kang Dabin said proudly. "But your boyfriend is a jealous jerk. I don’t want him to be hostile to my angel."

’Angel?’

Well, it was cheesy, but it was true.

Lucca really looks like an angel.

They’re so in love with each other.

Thankfully, our table is far from the other guests!

So, Hyung isn’t really jealous.

It’s hard to be a Guide when your Esper is like a ticking bomb.
