Parsed with an automated reader. The content accuracy is not guranteed.
The next day, I got a phone call from Dongwoo Jung.
– He said he’s not in Korea right now. It looks like he’s going to New York.
I was happy to hear it.
It seems that the character’s behavior hasn’t changed much.
Dohyun was just checking news articles on her laptop.
– By the way, what are you going to do to find this guy?
“I heard that that bastard had a sword that he could use, but I couldn’t contact him at all.”
When he came up with the excuses he had prepared, Jung Dong-woo smiled excitedly.
– Haha, you’re always a garbage child. How many times better to roll around in your house, but you take a peck from that poor bastard?
“It’s not fun if you can get it easily.”
After that, he responded appropriately and ended the call.
After all, Jeong Dong-woo was only the grandson of the president of the company, and there was nothing in the company.
He and Cheol-Jun Lee do not have any junctions, so there is no leak of information.
Dohyun lowered the mouse wheel and checked his news article.
[Tracking the current status of the lost and forgotten head of Sega and the monarchs.]
[Handong Economics | Reporter Ham Seok-yoon]
As news of the death of the head of Jin Myung-se’s head, Soon-ho Jin, became known, attention is focused on the current situation of the downed family and monarchs.
(syncopation)
The Frostfoot Legion is known to have collapsed due to excessive competition for successors.
King Seon Tae-su used the mural he found accidentally as a tool for the succession competition.
The condition was that only those who solved the mystery of the mural could become the monarch.
However, none of the successors revealed the secret.
To make matters worse, the secret of the mural fell into a labyrinth when the monarch died of a sudden heart attack.
With the death of the monarch, the succession race was thrown into chaos.
In effect, the Legion was disintegrated and went down the path of downfall.
However, an official of the Frostbale Corps dismissed all suspicions, saying that this was just a rumor.
(afterword)
The current status of the Frostfoot Corps was no different from what Dohyun knew.
‘It has collapsed beyond the control of the media.’
In any world, a rat will come out of a house that is going to ruin.
They had no power to control their mouths, so it was natural for rumors to spread.
There are not many places where Dohyun, who works alone, can get information.
It was best to search the news like this and cross-verify it with the original content.
‘If everything goes well, there will be no news or anything else from next time.’
Through Jung Dong-woo and his articles, it was confirmed that the flow of events had not changed, so it was time to move slowly.
Dohyun got up from the chair.
“It’s New York
 
 .”

“Sin, sorry!”
The flight attendant was startled and wiped the wine he had spilled on the floor.
Her face became contemplative.
You’re only making mistakes that even newcomers wouldn’t make.
This is the first class of aircraft.
It was a boarding place for passengers who were willing to pay more than many times for economy class and expected the best service.
That’s why most of the passengers are strict and sensitive.
She was a veteran with relatively many years of experience.
As usual, she has provided flawless service even to first-class passengers.
However, maybe it was because she was too conscious that the passenger was Do-hyeon Lee, who is known for being an asshole.
In fact, I made a mistake in front of him.
Lee Do-hyun was not a passenger to the point of being strict and sensitive.
I wonder if it was rumored to be a rare nonsense?
He tried to calm down, but his hands trembled.
‘please please
 
 !’
Fortunately, wine did not splash on Lee Do-hyun’s shoes.
She looked up cautiously.
But unfortunately for her, God was not on her side.
Lee Do-hyun frowned a lot.
It was obvious how he would react.
“sorry. I’m really sorry.”
She begged and begged.
Her own precious job was in danger of being blown away by just one mistake.
Not only that, I was also afraid of what kind of abusive language Lee Do-hyun would pour out.
The many evil deeds of Lee Do-hyun I saw on the news crossed my mind.
Manny slowly raised his hand.
Are you thinking of shaving your cheek?
She blankly thought so.
But,
“The wine is done, the others come first.”
The maniac just waved her hand as if tired.
She didn’t even swear at her.
The flight attendant asked blankly.
“yes?”
“Didn’t you hear? I don’t need wine, so bring me a meal.”
“Oh, yes. We will prepare it soon.”
The crew responded quickly.
That bastard, a pronoun of her powerlessness, closed her eyes to her mistake.
She was unbelievable.
Lee Do-hyun’s notoriety, who always acts like an outlaw wherever he goes, has pierced the sky.
Wouldn’t it be nice to be naughty through her secretary later?
That’s what I thought, but recovery came first.
She quickly cleared the floor and then got up.
Meanwhile, Do-hyeon clicked his tongue in his heart.
‘Whether it’s this way or that way, it’s all treated like this.’
She trembled in fear that she only spilled a little wine on the floor.
The flight attendants were so pathetic that they couldn’t stand it.
I didn’t even dare to guess where Lee Do-hyun’s notoriety had not reached.
Dohyun sighed and buried herself in his seat.
The reason he is heading to New York now is to make contact with a person.
The current task given to Do-hyeon was to establish an independent force.
According to the original story, Lee Do-hyeon is caught up in a fight between Lee Cheol-joon and Jo Ja-hyun in the future and dies.
As the hierarchy in his work rises, the probability of his death will also decrease, but it was impossible to ignore the case in which his death was confirmed.
Although it is a fact that people do not know, Jo Ja-hyun has a great resentment towards Lee Cheol-joon.
Accordingly, Jo Ja-hyun creates her own organization separate from Sega.
And he was developing his own strength to thoroughly trample Lee Cheol-jun, one of the world’s leading players, called the pinnacle of Korean players.
Do-hyeon alone could not stop Jo Ja-hyun’s organization, which consisted of only the most elite.
They had to do everything they could to prevent the battle from happening.
Disrupt the organization or minimize combat.
If given a lot of time, Dohyun would not have had to run like this.
However, Do-hyeon does not have the time, funds, or personal connections to build a power.
Because of that, Dohyun decided to find his partner.
That was the Frostfoot Legion.
He also considered the size of the corps, the old prestige, and the effort required to rebuild, but the biggest reason was another.
It was because he had the power to make what the Legion’s heir most desperately wanted.
The mural that Prince Seon Tae-soo put in the competition for succession.
Do-hyeon was planning to offer a deal with it.

The heart of America, New York.
A building in Manhattan, New York’s largest shopping street, was filled with people of various dresses.
A man in a suit went in, and a woman in a training suit came out.
The building was constantly crowded with visitors.
At the same time, there was a sense of well-established order.
“From here on, only players or members of the item business can enter. Do you have any documents or items to prove your identity?”
A gigantic black guard politely reached out and restricted the entry of the people.
Behind him was a notice in multiple languages
stating that the public was not allowed to enter.
An Asian man whose entry was restricted by the guard mumbled something.
It wasn’t English, but it seemed to be the native language of an Asian man.
I couldn’t understand what it meant, but I felt a sense of disappointment.
“There are no documents
 Would you like this?”
The Asian man asked as he pulled out his sword from the subspace.
However, the guard’s expression was frowned upon.
The sword that came out of the scabbard was definitely an item.
A sharp anticipation was visible at a glance, and it seemed unusual.
However, it was an extremely poor item to prove identity.
Do you think that this flea market isn’t even a local grocery store, and that all players are allowed in?
Therefore, the guard had no choice but to be reluctant to take the position of this Asian man.
‘Damn geeks! Is it that difficult to carry documents to prove your identity?’
Even if he thought so, he couldn’t just kick out an Asian man.
The reason was that there were a lot of geeks among the players.
He was kicked out because he was rude, but the unfortunate thing is that he was actually a great player.
Of course, it wasn’t that the appearance of this Asian man was ugly.
It wasn’t a flashy outfit, but the material and fit of his suit, and the watch or shoes that looked just below his wrist weren’t.
To some, he was the kind of person who wore money that would be his entire fortune.
A jolbu or a real bastard master.
However, I couldn’t take this man carelessly.
This is because there have been times when an ignorant master who knows nothing of the world collided with a player and caused an accident.
He had to be well screened.
well.
And the standard of ‘well’ was the responsibility of the guard, the last employee of this building.
The Asian man asked the hesitant guard again.
“Is it difficult to prove your identity with this sword alone?”
“no. However, the price of the items in our building is quite high. I was concerned that there might be a product at a price that would be worth buying.”
When I said this, most of the pawns would fall off with a tantrum.
But the Asian man only laughed.
“Are you doubting my ability to pay? It’s a useless worry.”
“Haha, no. If so, I’ll attach a guide for you. The inside of the building is quite complex and spacious, so it will be inconvenient to walk alone. The receptionist will also tell you about items that fit your needs.”
The Guard didn’t want to bother anymore.
He changed his mind to attaching a receptionist to spying on an Asian man.
The guide was going to check the man’s personal information and financial resources in the name of the guide.
It was a relatively common method.
As soon as the guard finished speaking, a blonde woman walked over, making noises in her shoes.
“hello. This is Jessica Clark, the guide. The inside of the flea market is a bit complicated, so I would like to guide you. Are you okay?”
Jessica bowed slightly and greeted her.
He seemed very accustomed to serving Asian customers.
Dohyun nodded his head.
Jessica then smiled slightly and thanked her.
*
“Sir, what is your name?”
“Lee Do-hyun.”
“Oh, are you Korean?”
“why? Is there any problem?”
“no. It was just confirmation. Then we will start the flea market guide.”
Dohyun followed Jessica and walked into the flea market.

flea market.
This was a huge item trading platform with branches in every country.
It boasted an 80% market share worldwide.
It was a bit flawed to take the expensive fee, but in terms of reliability, there was nothing to complain about.
Therefore, players mainly used the flea market for safe trading.
As the pronoun of the item trading platform has become a free market, the scale is enormous.
“If you don’t mind, may I ask what items you came to see?”
“I’m here to change my mediocre sword.”
“It was. Could you have picked a better sword from Sega for a cheaper price? Above all, we deliver high-quality items in large quantities every year at Mucheonsegae. I am proud that all of those items are worth using.”
“Who uses that kind of japtem that everyone has?”
Dohyun muttered softly.
It was an arrogant and contemptuous voice that irritated the listener.
‘Now I’m pretty used to doing this.’
Dohyun admired my acting alone.
Then he glanced at the receptionist with a squint.
Jessica brought up the story of Mucheonse with Dohyun.
It means that you judged your affiliation just by hearing Do-Hyun Lee’s name.
The flea market was not just a place to buy and sell items.
They also bought and sold information based on the infrastructure they built.
And there must have been information about Lee Do-hyun mixed there.
That must have been the reason why I found out about Do-hyeon.
“okay. Since it is an item that is supplied in large quantities, it seems that it is not filled in the eyes of the customer. It should be a higher-quality item that matches the customer’s dignity.”
“Of course.”
“Then I’ll show you the sword first.”
Jessica took the lead and guided Dohyun.
Eventually, Do-hyeon arrived at the room where all kinds of swords were displayed.
It was like a museum exhibition.
A sword with a colorful pattern.
A sword with no decoration on its sheath.
A sword with precious jewels in its sheath, etc.
It was as if all the swords in the world had been gathered.
Jessica took out the sword from the cabinet and started explaining.
“The glyph of this sword contains the blessing that protects the user from poison.”
“The pattern is unique.”
Do-hyeon put his hand on the pattern of the scabbard.
However, Jessica did not stop Dohyeon from acting, but only smiled.
“Because you are choosing an object to use yourself, you should be able to touch it.”
Hearing that, Dohyun called for joy inside.
“Then can I take out this sword myself?”
Do-hyeon pulled out one of the swords nearby.
Jessica didn’t blink an eye and kept her smile.
Even after that, even when Dohyun touched this and that, her smile did not break.
“Yes, of course. That sword’s jewel
 
 .”
“This dagger appears to be for self-defense, but the truth is
 
 .”
“The stamina of this black user
 
 .”
A polite and succinct explanation followed.
However, there was a change in Do-hyeon’s attitude from the middle.
It was only for a moment that her eyes twinkled and showed interest.
Do-hyeon didn’t seem interested in the items Jessica was explaining.
“It’s a flea market, so there’s nothing special about it. It’s just something with one or two more effects, right?”
Hundreds of thousands of those rare effects were on this floor with a difference of one or two lines.
Dohyun muttered like a child who didn’t even know that.
“Then what specifically do you want?”
“Of course, no one can carry them all. Do you have any special stories or secret items?”
Jessica laughed inwardly.
Sometimes these players came.
She would pick up stories that could only be circulated on the Internet, and then come to her and insist that there are no such items.
There was nothing he couldn’t sell such an item.
But most of those items were garbage.
A lottery ticket mainly bought by players who simply aim for a shot with an item rather than improving their skills as a player.
‘I thought there would be something because it was said to be nothing, but it’s nothing.’
There was no need to waste any more time.
Jessica decided to sell Dohyun an item with a moderately unusual history and get rid of it.
Jessica smiled to hide her inner feelings, tired of her.
It wasn’t that he didn’t know Jessica’s heart.
Dohyun also looked at Jessica and smiled.
That was then.
A young man entered Dohyun’s sight.
The young man was staring intently at a cabinet.
Strangely enough, there was not a sword but a small piece of paper inside the cabinet.
‘found!’
At that moment, Dohyun’s eyes shone sharply.
