NOVEL NEXT Chapter 79.2
‘Damn, I don’t know what it is, but it’s unsettling.’
The sense he has built up over the past 10 years thanks to Isaac was telling him.s.
And sure enough, Isaac’s pupils began to move.
…No. Isaac.
No. Don’t. Don’t look here. Don’t look!!!
At the same time, with a disgusted expression on his face, Isaac reached out his hand toward Kina.
“Who is it? Are you asking that now?”
No, he didn’t ask, you had heard it wrong!!
“Of course, our Kim Shuri.”
Daaamnl! The ominous feeling is still there!
And then.
“Shuri?”
“Yes.”
“Shuriiii?”
“Yes.”
“Shuriiii of the Eshua family???”
“Yes!”
Kina had a shocked expression.
“And that thing is more excellent than me?”
Kina’s eyes, which had just been trying to go home, turned round and round.
“Oh, right. Then, if I can prove that I’m better than him, will you teach me?”
Shuri touched his moist eyes.
Ha… Shit. Can someone please switch places with me?

“Wow, what’s going on with them!”
The Papacy’s banquet hall.
The apprentices gathered at the table were noisy. Usually, they held a monthly banquet and critique meeting, but today was a bit more special.
“Crazy. What’s with the Blue’s table, what is that!”
“The banquet food is different from ours!”
“I saw it on the way here, but even their dormitory is being upgraded…”
“What?!”
The apprentices usually ate simple food like beans due to their training. The banquet meals were also relatively simple.
But the food placed in front of the Blue team was beyond imagination.
‘A, a course meal?’
‘It’s a luxury dish…!’
‘Indeed, when you rank first at the Pentagon, the treatment changes.’
Although the harmony wasn’t an exam where grades were given, the reward was given to the top team even at the Red Pentagon.
At the Red Pentagon, it was food. Moreover, it was not just ordinary dishes but food with blessings that helped physical and ability growth.
That’s why even Lilai, who participated in the banquet, couldn’t help but be surprised.
‘Seriously… I didn’t know they would give Isaac’s team first place.’
Although they won against the Red, they caused such a commotion. Frankly, it was a miracle that they weren’t dragged to jail.
‘But how did a king grade come out…’
The Papacy… What on earth are they thinking? Did they get struck by lightning while scoring?
It’s bewildering.
But what’s even more bewildering is the seat next to Isaac…
All teams, let alone the priests, were sweating and looking at Isaac.
Yeah… That’s right…
‘Why is Kina there…?’
Didn’t he have an important event with the Pope today?
Why is he sitting there, selecting good meat for Isaac as if to show off?
Of course, Isaac completely ignored Kina, and ate the meat served by Shuri, but… Why for some reason Kina was glaring at Shuri, and Shuri was tearing his hair out…
Was that happiness because of the first place?
‘Yeah. If it goes like this, our Blue can climb back up…’
However, at that moment.
“You can’t control your facial expressions because the Blue won?”
“!”
Someone approached beside Lilai.
With long red hair, black priest robe, and a red cape on his shoulders, it was the Red Cardinal.
Lilai quickly bowed his head.
“Your Excellency.”
The Red Cardinal smiled with his characteristic sharp eyes.
He seemed to be in his thirties, looking young, but he must be around forty. If Isaac’s father, and Lilai’s older brother, were here, they would be the same age as the Duke.
The Red Cardinal patted Lilai’s shoulder.
“I heard. It seems you’ll soon reach the 9th rank. It’s quite impressive at your age.”
The 9th rank was a requirement to become a Cardinal and a Saint. In other words, if Lilai reaches the 9th rank, he could become the head of the family.
But perhaps the Red Cardinal wasn’t pleased that the Blue had won.
“The Blue family head must be troubled. The only suitable successor for the position, sir Lilai, has a ‘time-limited life.'”
“…!”
Lilai flinched and looked at the Red Cardinal. However, the Red Cardinal smiled as if he had made a mistake.
“Ahaha. No, it wasn’t. Even if it wasn’t a matter of life and death, wasn’t it a bit too much for the successor? Besides, you can’t have children with your body.”
“…!”
Lilai glared at him.
“But with such admirable nephews, the Blue family head can relax a bit. Besides, you can’t live past thirty-five and will soon perish. I also know that you want to raise Isaac before you die.”
“Your Excellency…”
“Well, even though it’s the third son, the successor of the Red family lost his temper like that in front of the imperial family and others. Look at this kind of mischief. Hahaha.”
The Red Cardinal turned away, laughing playfully. Lilai sighed as he watched his back.
‘As expected, a faith that can read people.’
Did he also find out about the curse of Eshua?
But who cares. It’s not a wrong statement, and it’s not an important issue since he had no intention of becoming the family head.
‘Well, as long as it doesn’t harm Isaac… Huh?!’
While watching the children, Lilai was horrified. The Red Cardinal was looking at Isaac.
‘That human! What trouble is he planning to cause for the child!’
Although it was okay for him to hear anything, it wasn’t for the child.
Lilai tried to follow him, but he was held back by the nobles.
Soon, the Red Cardinal stood behind Isaac.
“Young master Eshua?”
At his appearance, the Blue team, who had been frantically scooping up food, froze.
They were the ones who humiliated the Red and took first place. And now, their leader, the damn ones’ leader, had come, so they were lucky if they didn’t get beaten up.
They stood up, bowed their heads, and stopped eating.
But the Red Cardinal, like a fox, smiled broadly and looked only at Isaac.
Isaac was sitting and continued to eat alone. Shuri next to him poked Isaac, but Isaac pretended not to notice and kept himself busy eating the meat.
“Isaac?”
“Yeah. You called me…”
“Aw hit. Why’r yo stayin here? (Ah, shit. Why are you staying here?)”
Eventually, Isaac, who put down the meat, turned around and bowed.
“Huh. Your Excellency.”
“I haven’t seen it properly yet. So, Isaac, what was the interesting thing you were going to show if you pushed the Red Pentagon forward?”
“Ah, haven’t you seen it yet? It’s your son who’s pissing his pants.”
Aaah, oh god!!!
Everyone almost spit out the food they were eating.
However, whether he said it or not, Isaac, with a wide grin, spoke.
“How was it? Did you enjoy it a bit?”
The children looked at the Red Cardinal in horror. Behind the Red Cardinal, the holy power seemed to shoot up like a fountain.
This fucking bastard?
