Ranker's Return

Chapter 726

Hyeonu ignored the clamoring of the viewers and looked at Tang-E.

“Today, it is beef from cows grown on grass full of magic power.” Hyeonu pulled out red meat that was slightly larger than his palm from his inventory and waved it about.

“Beef is delicious. Tang-E likes beef.” Tang-E’s eyes shone when he saw the meat.

This beef had a top-notch taste among all the meats Hyeonu had given him. The combination of moderate fat and moderate muscles produced an amazing taste, and this was simply by cooking it. After taking the meat out of his inventory, Hyeonu took out various spices and tools such as salt and pepper. He couldn’t cook meat with just his bare hands after all.

-Look at the ingredients. It is luxury itself.

-it is almost like a rich Middle Eastern kitchen in reality, right?

-The ingredients over there will already be a few thousand gold.

-Where did he get these things that aren’t even sold?

The viewers responded in an amazed manner to what Hyeonu took out. The response was particularly intense for those interested in cooking.

“Now there are some people who recognize my efforts. I have carefully selected ingredients only supplied to the imperial families of the West and East Continents,” Hyeonu boasted to the viewers as he lifted the spices one by one. He’d obtained some from the Goldberg Merchant Group, while others were from walking around Buncheonru.

The thing they had in common was that they were difficult for ordinary players to encounter. Hyeonu stopped bragging and started to pour oil on the stone slab. The meat was properly prepared well enough that it wouldn’t stick to the stone slab. The beef itself had quite a bit of fat, so an excessive amount of oil would damage the taste of the meat instead.

“Tang-E, you cook the meat now. Isn’t it time for you to take care of yourself?” Hyeonu handed Tang-E tongs and scissors.

The number of times he cooked meat for Tang-E had gone beyond a dozen times to over a hundred times. There was a saying that even a person who had no knowledge or experience in a field would gain some after seeing it in action for a long time. He believed that Tang-E had received so much learning that he should be able to cook the meat himself.

“Hing... Why don’t you cook it? It will be tasteless if I cook it.” Tang-E grabbed Hyeonu’s leg and shook it.

Even so, Hyeonu didn’t reverse his decision. It might be possible in a while, but it wasn’t possible for him to cook the meat right now.

‘I need to go ahead with the content.’

“No, just cook a bit by yourself. I’ll cook it for you a little bit later.” Hyeonu leaned down and stroked Tang-E’s head.

“I understand, Master dude...” Tang-E moved the tongs and scissors with a sullen expression.

“Everyone, please pay attention to me. Stop looking at Tang-E there.” Hyeonu barely managed to gather back the eyes on Tang-E and resumed the content progress.

He started the video from where it was stopped. The old emperor of the East Continent treated Hyeonu with friendliness. There was even a scene where he took out the seal without any requirements. Of course, there were also missing scenes.

Hyeonu hid everything he wanted to hide. For example, all of the words about him being the empire’s benefactor. In the video, Hyeonu was directly acknowledged by the emperor of the Yuxin Empire, then he returned to the emperor of the West Continent.

After that, he headed to the demon world and moved busily to start the war.

-He is like an invisible hand.

-I wonder what he is usually thinking about.

-If he had been born in the past, he would have been the most treacherous of treacherous subordinates.

-No no, his combat power is strong too. He would’ve turned the nation upside down and become king.

-It is persuasive.

As the video played, the viewers exclaimed at Hyeonu’s actions. The emperor’s only words to Hyeonu were to wage war. It was Hyeonu’s judgment to insert Baler. During the moments when there was a short break in the video in order to double the tension, the viewers focused on chatting.

-By the way, if the master of Etono is Alley Leader... Isn’t he rich?

-He sucked up all the gold of the large guilds.

-Let’s do some more events.

-Honestly, at least a million people here laughed when they heard that the gold was sucked up.

-One million is more like five million.

At the beginning of the video, there were many shocking scenes, and it was buried slightly. Then someone mentioned Etono again, and the embers that remained started burning again.

“Wait a minute. Why are you talking about that now? Shouldn’t you focus on the video? I’m busy explaining the video and can’t even cook meat for Tang-E...”

Hyeonu didn’t welcome the comments about Etono. It was fine to post comments on A-World later or to talk about it in other communities. However, he didn’t want it to come out in the real-time stream. If they kept talking about it, he inevitably had to answer the questions.

-So who is the master of Etono?

-This city is my city, Etono is Alley Leader’s territory! Why won’t he say it?

The viewers requested an answer from Hyeonu. No, it wasn’t a request but a demand. Like a summer shower, all types of suspicions poured down on Hyeonu.

‘It can’t be helped.’

Hyeonu stopped the video.

Then he opened his mouth toward the viewers: “It is right that Etono is my city. Yet, strictly speaking, I am just a professional manager. Everything except the cost of maintaining the city will be returned to the treasury.”

As always, Hyeonu mixed lies with truth. Those who didn’t know the situation would be deceived by Hyeonu.

-Then he isn’t rich?

-So all the rent is going to the empire?

-No matter what, it is good that there is a hole in the warehouses of the large guilds.

-There is no need to have a hole. They can break the warehouse.

The viewers accepted Hyeonu’s words. They didn’t think that any lies were mixed in. In fact, it wasn’t surprising that Hyeonu was Etono’s master. It was just that Hyeonu’s territories had increased by one.

That was enough. Apart from that, it was fun to know that large guilds had to pay a large amount of gold to have a place to stay in Etono. In any case, none of the viewers watching Hyeonu’s live stream had spent money to establish a base in Etono.

‘I think this has gone well...’

This was the moment when Hyeonu sighed with relief that the heat on him had cooled down. Behind him, the eating broadcast of Tang-E and Gom-E was being played out.

“Is it delicious, little brother?” Tang-E, in the shape of a child, cooked meat and put it in Gom-E’s mouth.

Gom-E nodded at Tang-E.

“Then eat a lot, little brother.” Tang-E smiled at Gom-E and handed over meat again.

‘I got a picture.’

“Isn’t this a happy sight?” Hyeonu couldn’t help automatically smiling. He smiled like a father and looked at the chat room. Then his expression was momentarily disturbed by what he saw in the chat window.

-By the way, I think the purple bear spoke the other day.

-I heard it as well. I thought I heard it incorrectly because the voice is similar to Tang-E.

-I thought I was the only one who heard it, so I stayed silent. It turns out everyone heard it.

-Right? Right? Tang-E didn’t speak twice, right?

The reaction of the viewers wasn’t what Hyeonu imagined.

‘I forgot about this again.’

Hyeonu forgot what should be hidden and what had already been revealed because he often ran away after doing so much work. It was the case with Gom-E. Gom-E had once spoken on the live stream, so Hyeonu ran away. Then Tang-E, who looked like a grown-up adult, had almost revealed himself, so Hyeonu had hurriedly ended the live stream again.

Hyeonu approached Gom-E who was eating meat and asked, “Speaking? What did he say? Gom-E, you spoke? Can you tell me?”

Instead of talking, Gom-E shook his head from side to side.

“Look, what did he say?” Hyeonu looked at the viewers with a triumphant smile.

“Master dude, please cook meat while you’re here. I think it is time to cook it.” Tang-E held out the tongs to Hyeonu.

The reason why Tang-E kept asking Hyeonu to cook the meat wasn’t that he was too lazy. It was because Hyeonu’s cooking was much more delicious than his own. Hyeonu’s cooking skills were that great.

“Okay, I’ll cook it.” Hyeonu took a seat and nodded like it couldn’t be helped. On the surface, it was to comply with Tang-E’s request, but it was actually to prevent Gom-E from bursting out unpredictably with unexpected behavior.

“Now that I’ve taken care of my little brother, it is time for Master dude to take care of me,” Tang-E said while looking at Hyeonu. There was a deep smile on Tang-E’s face.

***

Tang-E’s meal was longer than expected. Hyeonu tried to break it in the middle, but he couldn’t get past Tang-E.

“Now there is only the last battle left. In this part, we will only look at the battle between the emperor and Baler. It is because this battle is the most important thing.”

It wasn’t until a long time later that Hyeonu’s most carefully prepared part appeared.

-Yes, I need to see this.

-Honestly, I didn’t watch it live. I watched other people’s videos, but I wasn’t sure what happened.

-It was just bang, bang, bang and then it was over.

-I look forward to your good commentary.

The viewers had also been waiting for this. Like Hyeonu, they hadn’t seen the battle between Baler and the emperor at the time it occurred.

The stationary image of the video started to flow again. Baler, who had become a monster over four meters tall, and the emperor, who held a sword longer than himself, stood still and looked at each other. It was Baler who ended the brief confrontation first.

Leaping hard enough to break the ground, Baler reached the emperor quickly. Baler raised his fist, and the space burst. Nevertheless, the emperor swung the seven-colored long sword toward Baler’s incoming fist without hesitation.

The moment the emperor’s sword and Baler’s fist touched, it sounded like a bomb was exploding. The land around them burst, and the surrounding demons became bloody, but the two of them showed off their casual movements.

Baler’s body twisted and loosened before twisting again like cheese, headed for the emperor. The emperor stretched out his left hand so that his palm could be seen by the approaching Baler. A seven-colored magic power shot out of the emperor’s hand like a laser.

Baler held both his fists tightly and pushed forward. The black air currents around Baler’s hands touched the emperor’s seven-colored magic power and struggled. The emperor swung the sword, which was over two meters long, with one hand. The seven-colored long sword crossed between Baler’s magic power and the emperor’s magic power.

-By the way, why is there no commentary?

-Isn’t this just watching the battle between the emperor and Baler?

-It is possible to watch blankly on our own...

-Why isn’t he saying anything?

The viewers protested to Hyeonu, who kept his mouth shut like he had eaten honey.

‘Ah, that’s right. I have to comment.’ Hyeonu realized that he had to say something when he saw the chat window going up at a crazy speed.

The flustered Hyeonu really had nothing to say. Then he saw Tang-E eating meat with tongs and expressed his admiration, “The meat must be really delicious.”

-Is he really just saying anything he wants?

-He is narrating Tang-E eating meat instead of the emperor’s fight.

It didn’t have to be said that what followed was the viewers’ mockery of Hyeonu.
