Overgeared - Chapter 1086

Chapter 1086: 1086

After Grenhal left, Yura asked him with a cheerful expression, “Youngwoo-ssi, you said you didn’t want to go out with me?”

Noticing that the gazes of the people around him weren’t good, he hastily said, “I don’t like it because I have to go around everywhere . I never said I didn’t want to date Yura . ”

“Isn’t it the same thing?” The unsuspecting Vantner questioned, and the other members of the 10 meritorious retainers poked him in the side .

Yura was staring at Grid .  Her slightly wavy hair was tied up, reminiscent of an idol taking a photo with a beach backdrop . There was a refreshing feeling . It was good enough to make him forget the hot water .

“W-What is it?”

He couldn’t adapt to this beauty at all .  She was like someone from a completely different world .  Yura stared for a few seconds, and the blushing Grid avoided her gaze first .

“I understand now . ” Yura also blushed and nodded . “This is why I’ve always been behind . ”

“ . . . ?”

“The dating—let’s stop for a while . ”

“Huh . . . ?”

“I’m going to become stronger . ”

Yura was a single digit ranker . She ‘naturally’ exhausted her daily gameplay time limit . Her passion for Satisfy was so enormous that she spent her spare time maintaining an optimal condition and gathering information .  Of course, she wasn’t special .  The rankers, those who made money through Satisfy, and those who just enjoyed Satisfy invested most of their day into Satisfy .  However, just because they spent the same amount of time in the game didn’t mean they all did the same thing .  Otherwise, the concept of a ranker itself wouldn’t have existed .

Yura thought that to become like Grid, she had to focus on Satisfy the entire time her brain was awake .  She realized how much of a luxury it was to think about what to do with her favorite person today .  Yura was making a determined expression and opening a gate to hell when Grid shouted, “Don’t misunderstand! I’m just lucky!”

Luck followed him .  

Up to last year, Grid hadn’t wanted to hear this .  They thought he had grown to this stage just because of luck . . . ? Where was there a person in this world more unlucky than him? His current position was purely a result of his effort .  Grid believed so .  Every time he saw himself, he felt disgusted by the netizens and experts who said he was just lucky . He thought they were degrading his efforts and accomplishments .

That wasn’t the case anymore .  Grid only recognized it after achieving so much .  It was true that he was lucky .  Being born with the strength to not give up, the fact that Satisfy was released, obtaining Pagma’s book, and meeting good people… All of this was luck that he enjoyed .

Now Grid acknowledged it easily .  He wasn’t offended by the assessment that he was lucky .  It was true .

His gap with Yura? It wasn’t a difference in effort .  The difference was the number of times luck came to him .  Grid insisted on it .  

“Is there a person who doesn’t have luck?” Yura denied it . “Luck follows everyone . However, few people are able to capture and take advantage of the luck that comes to them . ” Yura called Grid's luck an ability or skill .  “I saw you and got to know you . I probably missed a lot of luck . It is because I’m not as focused . I probably would’ve given up, unlike you . ”

The expression ‘compromise’ was more appropriate than ‘giving up . ’ Even so, Yura didn’t use it .  It was shameful to bring out the word ‘compromise’ in front of Grid who faced all types of hardships and adversities .  Yura’s body started to pass through the gate to hell .  “At the very least, I’ll come back as a person who doesn’t burden you . ”

This was the signal .

“I’m going as well . ”

“Then I’ll be going . ”

“I’ll see you later . Don’t worry, I’ll keep in touch . ”

“Grid, please don't get into trouble?”

All of the 10 meritorious retainers apart from Lauel said goodbye to Grid .  Their eyes were filled with a deep desire .  Rather than looking at Grid’s back forever, they were eager to see the world that Grid was looking at together .

“Everyone . . . ”

It would be a long separation .  Grid intuitively sensed this and showed a sad expression .  He wondered if his development had alienated his colleagues .

Chris scoffed at him, “Have you forgotten? Our goal was once to be the supreme . ”

“ . . . ”

“Are we has-been just because we didn’t meet our goal? We have our own pride and have to prove our qualifications . Isn’t that right?”

“Chris . . . ”

“Be stronger until I come back . The moment I return, I’ll be applying for a duel so be nervous . ”

Apart from Yura and Faker, everyone owned territory .  Yet on this day, all of them gave up their territories, returning the rights of a lord .  They broke the shackles holding them .  The 10 meritorious retainers, who had many responsibilities, were now able to focus on their personal growth .

Lauel spoke to Grid, who was left alone in the office, “Grid, they aren’t weak enough for you to worry about . Why don’t you focus on your work?”

“My work?”

“Of course, as a blacksmith . Additionally . . . ” Lauel's gaze turned outside the office .  A small shadow was visible .  It was the road that Lord used to take Kasim back .

“Wouldn’t it be nice to spend time with your family?” Lauel asked . “The years pass very quickly . Prince Lord will be turning 15 in less than four years . Until then, please spend a lot of time with him . ”

Once he turned 15, Lord would have all types of constraints placed on him .  As a genius of the continent, Lord was system certified as a super-named talent . However, would Lord remain a power of the Overgeared Kingdom until the end? Maybe he would want to go on a trip or become crooked like the imperial princes .  The role of a parent was great .

***

“Aigoo, my Lord! Chuu! Chuuu!”

Lauel wanted Grid to be cautious about Lord, but Grid didn’t care .  Lord’s future? Lord would decide for himself .  Grid just wanted to love his child .

“Have you been doing well?”

The white skin that didn’t burn even when rolling in the sun every day was soft .  Lord’s fluffy cheeks and soft hair rubbed against Grid’s face .  It soothed the emptiness that was caused by the 10 meritorious retainers leaving .

Lord didn’t hate it either .  Now he was 11 years old, and Grid had been worried that puberty would come .  The little boy was understanding and felt admiration rather than resenting his father who was always away .

“I tried to listen to Mother’s words . I eat well and study hard . ”

“Yes, you did very well . And . . . ”

With black hair, blue eyes, high noise, and slightly raised mouth, Lord had an ideal mixture of his parent’s looks .  Grid hugged the pretty Lord and kissed his cheeks .  “It was a big achievement to heal Kasim . You saved Kasim . ”

“Master is my friend and teacher . Don’t praise me for doing what I had to,” Lord said with a resolute expression .

Grid nodded with a smile . “Yes, you have to cherish your bonds . ”

“Aunt Ruby told me to treat everyone with care . ”

“That is true . Everyone is precious to someone so they are all precious people . Help if you see someone who is going through difficulties . ”

Grid was saying this?

“Cough, cough!”

The early members of the Overgeared Guild, including Zednos and Laella .  Those, who had been appointed as new lords after the 10 meritorious retainers left, came to Grid’s office and were surprised .  In any case, Grid ignored them and held up Lord to the window .  The view of the city unfolded, and countless people could be seen .

“However, don’t be nice to everyone . Then you will be a pushover . . . No, if you give out too much one-sided help then the other person can become lazy or you might find yourself tired . ”

“Yes, Father . I understand . ”

He could understand even if Grid talked like a dog .  Grid could see why the teachers in every field praised Lord .  The thrilled Grid was excited .  “I will be in the smithy from now on . Why don’t you come with me?”

He naturally thought that Lord would come along .  Yet . . .

“I want to watch Father work, but unfortunately, I have a previous engagement . "

“Previous engagement? With who?”

“A girlfriend . ”

“ . . . ”

Was he talking about the group of Rebecca’s Daughters candidates? It must be busy dealing with hundreds of girlfriends with one body .  He admired Lord, who received all types of education yet didn’t forget to date his girlfriends .  Grid nodded while feeling a bit sad . “Then it can’t be helped . Have fun . ”

“Yep . I will cherish my bonds like Father has taught . ”

“ . . . Y-Yes . By the way, who are you dating today?”

Grid remembered several names and faces among Lord’s girlfriends . Among them, there were around 10 who were the prettiest, and Grid wondered if it was one of them .  While Grid was still trying to figure out who might be his future daughter-in-law, Lord brought out an unexpected name .

“Sister Sua . ”

“Crazy!”

In Grid’s mind, all types of imaginary things unfolded .  Then it happened the moment he couldn’t endure his anger and opened his mouth again .

“Hurry! Leave now!” Zednos created a wind barrier to separate Grid and Lord before pushing at Lord’s back .  Zednos didn’t want the harsh words that would soon pop out of Grid’s mouth to contaminate the young boy’s ears and spirit .

“Yes, I’ll be going,” Lord politely said goodbye and left the office .

The moment Zednos lowered the wind, Grid’s swearing turned the office upside down .  “XX!! How could this happen?!!”

Grid grabbed Zednos by the collar and shook him .  “I know how beautiful, kind, and wonderful Sua is! However, she is a pervert!”

“Kek . . . Kekek!”

“I was wondering why the pervert had been silent for a while . It turns out she was reaching out for my son? Eh?”

“Kek . . . ! Kekek!”

“What the hell did she do to such a young and pure child?!”

“O . . . Oh . . . ”

“What? Dishonor? It is a dishonor!”

“Mis . . . understanding . . . ” (TL: They both start with the same character in Korean) 

He was suffocating .  Zednos, who almost experienced the worst death, was barely released .  He clicked his tongue at Grid’s strength that he had never seen before and explained, “She cares for Lord like a child, like a nephew . Faker said that when Lord was mentally tired from all his lessons, she took care of him and this brought them closer . ”

“ . . . Ah . ”

Satisfy had many behind-the-scenes stories .  The opening was reminiscent of the contents in morning dramas and ancient myths .  Thus, he had been worried . Fortunately, it wasn’t the case .  It was too much to tell the story of a perverted adult woman .  The relieved Grid got rid of all his dirty imaginations . He asked his colleagues who had been appointed as the new lords of the eight territories to work hard before heading to the smithy .

Finally, the moment to create the mineral was here .
