The King of Death Smoke Episode 234

The Last Masterpiece and the Final Choice (7)

‘Speed ​​is important in cavalry.’

At the same time, Seo Bom was quietly calculating the situation.

‘If you want to attack strength, go to the river. If you want to separate closeness, go to closeness. If you want to scatter the crowd, go to the crowd.’

‘Mr. Lewis and Mr. Olson must be in a state of panic after doing something like that. All other sources of anxiety have died down for now.’

‘Even simple walking is not easy in water, and with average strength you can only maintain average vision in a war. Only information superiority can bridge the gap.’

‘So, if you want to make a big move, now is the time. No─ there is no other time than now.’

It was a sight that would have made the little prince say, “Here is the spring you want!” and have him say, “Hieeek?”

Even the world’s best Kang Min seemed to regret donating books – The Six Paths of Strategy and Clausewitz’s On War – to the orphanage without much thought.

Whether or not, Seobom checked the situation carefully several times.

The showdown of a lifetime between Kang Min and Hopper Dusk (from the latter’s perspective) is over.

The audition, which had been bustling in many ways, and the planning have also entered a stable phase.

Even Kang Min himself seems to be in a great mood recently, as if he has gotten what he wanted.

conclusion.

It’s the perfect opportunity to snatch the target while everyone is letting their guard down.

‘… If I had to choose, it would be my senior who is trying to catch me.’

‘What would it feel like to be caught by a senior…?’

Seo Bom, who had been lost in a reverie for a moment, suddenly came to her senses. She shook her head, thinking that this was not the time, and picked up her memo and reorganized her plan.

There is risk.

Maybe this time it will really be a brutal fight.

But haven’t we been afraid of that all this time and tolerated the whining of all sorts of thieving cats?

‘There is no other time than now.’

That was when Seobom was quietly preparing herself.

A staff member came and asked.

“Actor, I think it’s time to decide on a title for the play. Do you have one in mind?”

“yes.”

Seobom nodded.

A firm determination was formed in the eyes like autumn sea water.

“Of course there is.”

* * *

“.”

The judges who heard the title of Seo Bom’s play didn’t seem to find it strange.

Translated into Korean, it would be something like confession or confession. It’s a bit of a strange title for a genre that features aliens, but I think it has some meaning.

As expected from people with a lot of experience in this field, there were many speculations.

“Is it a metaphor for the device in the play?”

“It could be story related.”

“No, maybe it could mean leaving the audience aside….”

“Whatever it is, it’s something to come out and see, haha!”

‘You’re all wrong…!’

Only Penelope, who was studying Korean, realized what a pun it was and closed her eyes tightly.

If you open an English-Korean dictionary, there is only one expression that matches that meaning.

The meaning is a bit different─so it’s a pun.

‘! This time I’m going to end it for good!’

I touched my head.

Penelope still vividly remembers Seo Bom’s appearance during the second audition.

He came on stage with a face full of tension and determination,

Captivating the audience in an instant,

After hearing Kangmin’s evaluation, he smiled brightly,

‘He ended up frozen like a snowman with no nose! How poor of him!’

After a while, there was even a rumor going around that he cried a lot backstage, and it must have been quite understandable. Even Penelope was so upset by Kang Min’s helplessness at the time.

A horrific experience that makes you feel pity just by looking at it.

If an actor who had such an experience were to try out again, how determined would he be? Penelope couldn’t even imagine it…

The judges, who were always on the lookout for someone who had grabbed his friend by the collar and fought, couldn’t possibly see through him.

The suggestion to reveal who Kang Min chose is increasingly leaning in the direction of not being a bad thing.

“It would definitely be a good way to liven things up.”

“I agree.”

“Hmm, but wasn’t there an agreement to conclude the third audition fairly based on viewer ratings and anonymous votes from the judges? It’s a bit much to break that now… .”

“That’s a story about actors who could make or break the show. Honestly, does anyone think these two won’t join the show for Season 2?”

“I see….”

Seo Bom received the trophy and special ticket by unanimous vote of the judges in the second round, and Aislinn Lewis is Aislinn Lewis.

Since people are going to join anyway, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to add an element of competition to make it more interesting rather than getting discouraged.

Moreover, if it is the vote of Kang Min, the main character of the project, many people will be interested.

No, not to a large extent, but you could drag all the people who have been fighting over who is better for months and sit them down.

“This is the United States in the first place. Actor Seo, who expressed his opinion, is at a disadvantage.”

Representative Jaylen shrugged.

“It’s a risk I take and it’s for the sake of the whole project. I think I want to respect that.”

“I agree.”

“That’s what I’m saying!”

‘no….’

I’m just going to confess in a way that’s broadcast all over the world, without fail… .

“And, actor Kang Min’s opinion may be very important, but isn’t it not everything?”

“Yes!”

‘No…!’

That’s everything to him…!

“What, what could happen? Haha!”

“That’s right, haha!”

‘What the hell…!’

Penelope clutched her head.

What was more frustrating than this crazy situation was the fact that I knew everything about the situation and still couldn’t say anything.

Of course. If I shout to the high-ranking people who are laughing right now, ‘Actually, that Seo-bom doesn’t have any plans, she’s just trying to confess!’, would they believe me? They’d probably recognize a psychiatrist like Director Dusk!

“Hmm, what do you think, Actor Kang?”

“Of course I agree. Wow, I wonder when Bomi grew up so much… .”

“I guess that’s the end of the story!”

Even I don’t know!

Penelope felt as if she was going to burst when she saw Kang Min’s face, reddened with emotion and tears in his eyes.

Why?

Why do I have to suffer alone?

In the first place, why am I doing this because of that annoying person…!

‘Ugh….’

Penelope felt dizzy as she watched Seobom’s cheerful proposal pass unanimously.

Had to stop it.

No matter what, we had to prevent a -level drama from unfolding in the finale of Season 1.

That was a question of common sense!

‘Ugh…!’

Penelope ran out of the meeting as soon as it was over, got into her car, and picked up the phone.

Even though I had a huge fight with him not long ago, the only people I could ask for help were my old friends.

As soon as Penelope connected with Aislin, she started to ramble on and on about her situation, then made a plea.

“Oh, Acey! We have to work together! We have to stop this madness somehow! If we don’t, this crazy situation will be broadcast all over the world!!”

-… Ha, so that’s how it turned out.

“?”

well,

Why is that,

Penelope felt a momentary sense of foreboding at the sound of her friend’s low voice.

“Uh, Acey…?”

-Yeah. I can’t drag it out any longer. I agree with leaving it up to your own choice.

“Ace! What are you talking about! Ace!”

-I’m a one-man show. If it’s an indirect confession, I have the advantage.

“Ace! Come to your senses! Ace!”

Penelope cried bitterly.

The voice was so loud that a staff member passing by looked around, thinking he thought he heard a scream somewhere.

Aislin sighed, seeming to understand her friend’s concerns.

-Don’t worry, Penny. I have my own thoughts.

“Hoo, don’t startle me.”

-First, I’ll submit a proposal. That’ll solve everything.

“Oh my god! What on earth is it about?”

-Come out and see me, I’ll ask you to nominate Penny for the play . The filming will be finished by then, so it’ll be possible.

… ?

Penelope blinked for exactly ten seconds.

“That… Aishi? I’m sorry, but what on earth does that mean?”

-…? You don’t like the fact that you’re not given a choice, right? That’s unfair.

“no!”

-Don’t worry. We promised when we made up. No matter who wins, we’ll be friends forever, Penny.

“Thank you! I really appreciate it, but this isn’t a heartwarming story!”

-?

“What I mean is─ No, seriously?!”

Bam.

As soon as the phone call ended, Penelope banged her head on the steering wheel.

My eyes naturally turned red.

‘There’s no way to stop it now…!’

Wrong.

They were all wrong.

Even old friends have lost their taste.

I don’t know if it’s because I get mad when I get involved with Kang Min, or if it’s because I always get involved with those kinds of people, but now I can only watch this crazy situation blankly.

I couldn’t tell if the world was crazy or if I was crazy.

That was when Penelope was tired of everything in the world.

There was someone outside the car knocking on the driver’s seat.

Of all people, it had to be Kang Min.

“Penny? Is something wrong? I heard a scream around here….”

“Ha, that’s a problem… On the contrary, I don’t know what’s not a problem… .”

“Hmm.”

His sharp eyes scanned Penelope’s expression. Kangmin frowned for a moment and stroked his chin.

Then he recommended it with a look of complete incomprehension.

“Anyway, you seem to be feeling a bit under the weather. Would you like a drink? I’ll buy it.”

“… … .”

What do you know?

Penelope simply nodded, giving up on saying anything more.

The final trial of the King of Death Smoke has begun.

* * *

“Director Hong Ji-ho, I would like to hire you and Vice Director Yoo Myung-woo for a moment. Please come to the United States.”

“Yes, I said employment. It’s a very important job.”

“Yes, you are right.”

“If possible, could you introduce me to people who are better than you, sir? You have connections. People like writer Yoo Ji-ah, writer Seo Ye-rin, director Kim Chul, or director Lee Hyun-seok.”

“I’m not crazy. I gave you a test result.”

“Oh, Mr. Bennett. It’s been a while since I’ve contacted you. I’m sorry, but I thought I could ask for your help.”

“Yes, as you guessed… .”

“It would be an honor if you two, the , could help me. But I would also like to invite some other people. That is… .”

“Yes, I mean my cousin, Megan Lewis.”

“It’s true that I’m Aislinn.”

“Ah… Of course you’re in your right mind? I don’t know why you keep asking, though… .”

“Ugh… Do it right, you!”

“Whew, I understand. Now stand up straight. Mr. Seon-yul will be here soon.”

“Do it right!”

“Yes, yes.”

“And that… honestly, isn’t that worth voting for me too?!”

“?”

like that,

The final event that will decide everything is approaching.
