Chapter 17

Parsed with an automated reader. The content accuracy is not guranteed.

There was a white man in the control tower, where the inside of the flea market was thoroughly viewed through numerous CCTV screens.

The man who was sitting with his legs crossed smirked as if he was stunned.

“Hey, guide?”

He stared at Jessica, the woman who had just entered the control tower.

“You’re so immature, so I let you play, but this time, you had an accident?”

The white man was busy making fun of Jessica while muttering donuts.

Jessica ignored him and sat down in her seat.

Information analyst in the flea market.

That was her official title.

And the man eating the donut next to her was her senior.

He could have been considered simply obese just by looking at him eating donuts sprinkled with sugar.

However, it would not be an exaggeration to say that no one in the flea market does not know his name, David.

To that extent, he was a capable and thorough intelligence analyst.

But he always disliked Jessica.

Jessica had no complaints about her own job.

But that boss was the only and the biggest complaint.

‘A man named Lee Do-hyun is really nothing, right?’

Meanwhile, Jessica was deep in thought.

She quarreled so much that she even forgot David’s actions.

The reason she first took on the role of a guide was because she was an information analyst and she was curious about Do-hyeon.

An ordinary person who failed an awakening operation broke a blank wall quest that even prospects could not properly break?

As an information analyst, it was perfectly reasonable to try to confirm the reality of the information.

‘Something is strange. Like his behavior in the elevator, he had strange confidence to be a young master.’

Confidence and bluff are two very different things.

If the natural momentum of a large animal is expressed as confidence, bravado is just a shell that a small animal inflated to protect itself.

And most of the young masters tended to show bluffs rather than confidence.

They go to the flea market in search of items to inflate their insignificant skills.

An item that sets it apart from others.

An item with a special secret.

Those things were perfect for those who bluffed.

It is an attractive accessory just by hearing it.

A secret legacy left by a monarch who led a legion.

And whoever reveals the secret gets a special reward!

There were never more cases like this to snatch the young master.

But Dohyun was calm.

He said he had come to look for it, but his eyes were sunken.

Instead of showing bluffs and arrogance, he took only his own interests.

“Five million dollars. Too bitter for the price of curiosity.”

She clicked her tongue.

The price quoted for the paper containing the secret was half a million dollars.

And now it was the plate she was responsible for.

Of course, she didn’t just throw half a million dollars in the air.

She was an intelligence analyst to the bone.

Even though she had her own faults, she knew how she was supposed to take advantage of it.

“Would you like to dig a little deeper?”

-Samwha Group announces entry into the item distribution business

-After taking over the small and medium-sized corps, the name was changed to Samhwa Corps and aggressive R&D investment was made.

-Samhwa Group that caused a wave, what was the impact?

“After seeing the article, I think Park Yoo-myeong is also moving.”

Dohyun, who was watching the news on his smartphone, muttered.

Dungeons & monsters naturally melted into the world.

And as a result, industrialization has progressed considerably.

In the end, even in the world of dungeons and monsters, it was no longer possible to keep away from capital.

In order to survive and profit here, they had to be informed of the news.

It was not a world where only monsters could succeed.

So Dohyun carefully checked the news.

He was also there to make sure that the events and flow that he knew had not changed.

‘By now, they must be pursuing a merger in order to loot the skills of various corps or Sega.’

Skill Pillager Park Yu-myeong.

This was the decisive moment he got the nickname of skill looter.

Park Yoo-myeong took on the role of the company’s advance guard.

Samhwa Group plans to expand the business of dungeons & monsters led by Park Yoo-myeongwas erecting

And in the process, the merger of Corps and Sega was a natural procedure.

It was impossible to start from a barren land where there was nothing on the board to jump into a fairly industrialized dungeon & monster-related business.

At the very least, good soil and a sunny location had to be secured.

‘All the byproducts of the merger will fall into Park Yoo-myung’s hands… … .’

It would soon lead to Park Yoo-myung’s strength.

However, that was only when Park Yoo-myeong performed her role properly.

‘I must have shaken my position a little bit because of what happened a while ago.’

Tower of Trials.

In it, Park Yoo-myeong did not even make it to the top ranks and was humiliated.

A company is a group of performance-oriented groups.

We do not know the details of the story, but it was obvious that Park Yoo-myeong was under pressure.

‘You must have been impatient, so you must be aiming for prey.’

A smile appeared on Dohyun’s lips.

Park Yoo-myeong, who had become impatient, had no other choice but to choose.

It is to obtain the legacy of the fallen legion or Sega.

It was clear that he would struggle to find the number of cases that could bring results other than the mergers promoted by Samhwa Group.

That way, you will be able to re-establish your position.

That was then.

“Like Samhwa Group, a lot of strange people have been looking for it lately.”

Dohyun turned his head away from the smartphone screen.

Seon Woo-hyuk was standing at the end of a back alley in New York, which was dizzy with graffiti.

Seon Woo-hyuk was staring at Do-hyun from afar.

“What’s the matter with the youngest son of the Millennial Family?”

Dohyun clicked his tongue in his heart.

Perhaps because of his notoriety as a fool, there was no one who did not know his face wherever he went.

Thanks to him, though, he relieved me of the need to introduce like this.

“Besides, he asked me to meet everyone in such a shabby place.”

It seemed that the messy back alley was a tangent place to feel bad about it.

Seon Woo-hyuk showed his displeasure without any doubt.

Dohyun responded with a small smile.

“There is nothing great about it. I am in the same situation as you.”

“What are you talking about?”

“It’s a kite that has fallen off the string. Even if I raise the number of cases these days, my treatment in the original family is not that good.”

As if in a play, Dohyun spoke in an exaggerated tone.

Seon Woo-hyuk narrowed his eyebrows, probably because Do-hyun’s half-talk was offended.

Dohyun noticed it, but it didn’t matter.

Seon Woo-hyuk came here with only the word ‘mural’ left by Do-hyun.

What I regretted right now was Seon Woo-hyuk.

“Ha, that’s it. I didn’t come here to hang out with you. Please tell me from the beginning.”

Dohyun nodded his head slightly.

He could play more as a nerd, but he didn’t seem to have to.

‘More than anything else, Seon Woo-hyuk will have no choice but to bite this bait.’

Samhwa Group.

The person in the Samhwa Group who approached Seon Woo-hyuk was probably Park Yoo-myeong.

He must have borrowed the Samhwa group, but he must have moved it himself.

‘If you don’t want to be eaten by Samhwa, you won’t reject my offer.’

Seon Woo-hyuk’s setup is roughly as follows.

A person with a strong will that risked his life to resurrect the legion his father had built.

He is also one of the few upright young men of this age.

That is why Seon Woo-hyuk, who was in front of him, had no choice but to cling to the resurgence of the Frost-Blood Corps.

Then, Samhwa Group appeared.

Once Samhwa Group intervenes, it will try to disassemble the corps and eat only the kernels by any means.

It must have been an ending that Seon Woo-hyuk did not want to face.

“I have a suggestion for you.”

“proposal?”

“I promise. It’s not a business you lose. No, it’s a proposal I’ve been waiting for.”

Seon Woo-hyuk’s eyebrows rose.

It was because he couldn’t guess what Dohyun was going to say.

Then, Dohyun opened her mouth.

“Your father’s legion, I’ll help you defend it. What do you think?”

*

Frostfoot Legion.

It was one of the legions that emerged in Korea like a bamboo shoot when the game called Dungeons & Monsters started.

However, there was a limit to the position it could occupy through competition in a narrow country.

rapid growthThe Frost Legion, which had been repeated over and over, had reached its limit.

So the corps lost its monarch in a standstill state.

The corps, led by one outstanding monarch, was on the verge of decline.

As the situation unfolded, the talents of the Frostfall Legion moved to a larger corps.

‘This is now over.’

‘Is there an army I can transfer to? It should be better than here.’

‘If you stay stupid, the price will go down. Let’s open it before then.’

It was like a game of eyesight.

As one player left, the other players left the corps as well.

It wasn’t that they weren’t particularly loyal.

Several small and medium-sized corps have already followed such a path.

The Frost Legion was a ship that had lost its captain and was sinking.

It was a strange situation for the guy who insisted that he would remain on a ship like that.

And in the process, the monarch’s legacy was leaked.

Seon Tae-soo’s eldest son, Seon Woo-hyuk, strongly objected.

But to no avail.

He had no authority over him.

The succession race had fallen into chaos.

He was not an official heir, only the son of a dead monarch.

The Frostfoot Legion was being thoroughly torn apart by the self-interest and betrayal of insiders.

Nevertheless, the sound of laughter was unexpectedly leaking from the depths of the Frostbale Legion’s stronghold.

“Fuhahaha, so he’s still dying in America?”

“It’s stupid.”

“It’s cancer. None of us have been able to figure it out, so how can a fool find out the secret?”

“I wonder if the piece of paper in the first place had a clue to the legacy.”

“Isn’t our monarch quite a geek? To be honest, I don’t even think there’s anything in it. At best, it will be a letter or a will.”

All of those with whom they spoke were stalwarts of the Frostfoot Legion.

Originally, this place was used as a meeting room for high-ranking officials.

But now there was only the smell of cigarette smoke and alcohol.

On the table in front of them was a table full of expensive dishes and liquor.

It was a terrifying sight for the corps officials to see.

The corps’ financial situation deteriorated, and they were selling everything that could be a source of money.

But are you enjoying this nightlife?

It was a shameful thing to be ashamed of.

“So, have you searched for a suitable company?”

“It seems that the work will take some time because the position of the monarch is vacant. Still, it’s not that there is no way, so there are some bites here and there.”

“To do. It used to be good here too.”

It was a tragic event for some, but they were enjoying it.

The current lord of the Frostfall Legion has not been determined.

But they had no intention of appointing a monarch.

Because it is only in the absence of the monarch that they can make huge profits.

Even if the Legion disappears, their strength does not disappear.

There were many ways to sell off the legion, and it was enough to just stick with the assortment.

They were aiming for the Congo that would fall in the process.

This was the purpose that remained without departing from the perishing corps.

“Oh, by the way. Did you hear the news?”

“What news?”

“Do you have that wretched son of the Mucheonse? From what I’ve heard, it’s true that he only broke the blank wall quest and didn’t even enter the Tower of Trials.”

“Hmm, okay?”

“yes. Rumors are spreading that Mucheonse has firmly decreed that Gaju should not give any support to his son.”

“Ttttttt, there is no other like-minded person.”

A middle-aged man, who once held the title of managing director, licked his tongue and raised his drink.

Then, suddenly, a knock was heard.

One of the dignitaries, who was in the midst of drinking, exclaimed in annoyance.

“What’s the fuss?!”

“That, that… Seon Woo-hyuk has returned to Korea and is heading towards the mural. I think you should see it with me.”

The senior officials doubted their ears at the answer that came from outside the door.

The guy who went to America to find out the secrets behind the paper suddenly returned home?

Besides, is he going towards a mural to get the monarch’s legacy?

It wasn’t serious at all.

“Seo, maybe that guy Seon Woo-hyukAre you sure you didn’t find anything on that piece of paper?”

“It’s not like this here. Let’s go.”

The seniors got up from their seats and headed outside.
