Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 149

“Yoon Hyun-chul, it’s your visitation.”

The next day.

When Yoon Hyun-chul’s name was called, Su-ho quietly stood up.

It was just past noon.

As Su-ho got ready to leave, Kim Goong-won bowed deeply.

“Please be careful, big brother.”

“Alright.”

After Su-ho released all the pressure points from Kim Goong-won, he finally began moving with the guards.

The destination was the special visitation room, as it always was.

Two visitors were already there when Su-ho arrived.

Upon seeing them, Su-ho smiled faintly and sat down. As soon as the guards left, only Su-ho and the two visitors remained in the room.

Su-ho continued smiling.

It made sense.

One of the visitors was none other than Su-ho himself, in the form of ‘An Su-ho.’

However, his true identity was Kim Geon, who had transformed into Su-ho using a Meta Suit.

The person who came with Kim Geon as his companion was the real Yoon Hyun-chul, dressed sharply in a suit.

Su-ho spoke to Yoon Hyun-chul, who was standing like an attendant.

“Hyun-chul, you should sit down too. We’ve turned off the cameras, so no one will be entering.”

“Then I’ll excuse myself.”

Though Yoon Hyun-chul’s face was changed with Reverse Morphology, it was clear that the expression in his eyes had changed considerably over the five days.

There seemed to be much less malice in them now.

It was probably because he had spent a pleasant time with Yoon Hyun-hee.

Su-ho turned to Kim Geon and asked,

“Did you find it easily?”

“Yes, I’ve been here once before, so it wasn’t particularly difficult.”

“Good. Let’s switch positions first. Geon, you just need to imitate the person next to you.”

Before they began their detailed discussion, Su-ho started with the position swap.

Kim Geon took on Yoon Hyun-chul’s appearance using Reverse Morphology, and Su-ho reverted to his original form. Yoon Hyun-chul also returned to his original appearance.

The position changes were completed quickly.

After Su-ho put on his own clothes again, he used Pressure Point Technique on Yoon Hyun-chul, releasing the temporary pressure points he had placed earlier.

“How does it feel now that I’ve released the pressure points?”

“It feels better. I’m back to normal.”

“That’s a relief. By the way, you look much better now. Did you have a good time?”

“Yes, thanks to you, we talked a lot and were a great comfort to each other. So, I want to take this opportunity to thank you again.”

Yoon Hyun-chul stood up and bowed deeply.

Seeing him like this, he truly looked like a completely different person.

But knowing who he was, Su-ho had given him this opportunity.

Had Yoon Hyun-chul shown any hint of sinister energy, Su-ho would have never let a death row inmate out of the prison.

Of course, even though Su-ho could know a lot about the surroundings, he couldn’t fully understand a person, but he had the Ring of Joy and Sorrow for that.

‘That ring has been a great help during conversations.’

The Ring of Joy and Sorrow could catch even the faintest negative energy.

Su-ho then told Yoon Hyun-chul about everything that had happened in Cheongok during his absence—what he had fed the inmates, and what state they were all in as a result.

Of course, Su-ho didn’t go into the details about the Seong-go.

There was no need to elaborate that much.

Instead, Su-ho spoke about Jo Gwang-ho, the new tiger he had released into Cheongok.

When he mentioned that he had restored Jo Gwang-ho’s strength, Yoon Hyun-chul looked worried and asked,

“Do you trust Jo Gwang-ho?”

“I don’t trust Jo Gwang-ho. Instead, I trust you, Hyun-chul. If Jo Gwang-ho bares his fangs at you even after my warning, you’ll need to subdue him. Don’t kill him, just reduce him to the state he was before.”

“Understood. That’s something I can handle myself.”

As expected from Yoon Hyun-chul.

He was reassuring.

But, unless Jo Gwang-ho was a fool, he wouldn’t dare show his fangs to Yoon Hyun-chul.

Su-ho had made it clear that while he could restore Jo Gwang-ho’s power, he must never eye the throne.

Su-ho continued talking with Yoon Hyun-chul, discussing where he had been and how he planned to live going forward.

Though he hadn’t traveled to many places over the past five days, he had visited all the places he wanted to see.

He was especially grateful that he had been able to visit the mausoleum of his late girlfriend.

Su-ho smiled and said,

“I’ll take responsibility for Hyun-hee. I’ll also make regular visits to give her the chance to go out, just like we did this time.”

“Thank you. If you do that, I’ll do whatever I can for Cheongok. Hyun-hee is waiting for me outside, too.”

“Ah, I see. You asked her to come alone just in case, but she insisted on coming, huh?”

“Haha, yes. She insisted on greeting you personally, so I couldn’t refuse.”

After talking for a while longer, Su-ho checked the time and stood up.

He bid farewell to Yoon Hyun-chul and left Cheongok with Kim Geon.

Outside Cheongok, Yoon Hyun-hee was waiting.

Seeing her, Yoon Hyun-hee hesitated, unsure, as she knew Su-ho was adept at face changes.
