After the first hit, I allowed two more hits on me.
All of them were allies whom traveled with me.
But I didnât react at all.
But to even give a bigger hint towards me, some were wearing âEmpireâ guild wear and attacking.
Each guild had uniforms bearing the mark of their guild.
Sending me a message by bringing Empire that has animosity towards Noblesse.
They were waiting with the thought of âTreat him like a kidâ or something.
Leading a cow out of the stables, then releasing predators around it.
They gave me the role of the âcowâ.
Attacking an herbivore like me.
The more I thought about it, the angrier I got.
The outside is dangerous, so head back in immediately?
My answer to that would be to âannihilate both predators and the stableâ.
The next day.
I will be ending things with Noblesse cleanly.
Jong Ho was worried and visited every day, asking if there is something he could do to help.
So I asked him to do a few things.
I needed evidence, logs and history about this current situation.
Letâs say I completely destroyed the guild without any proof.
Due to the strict laws for the Awakened, I would be receiving quite the punishment.
Punishment? No. Probably an execution.
To prepare for that, I asked him to find about 5 people who knew how to operate heli-cameras.
And glasses that has a built in feature to record footage as well.
Of course, the best method is to annihilate them without it being noticed by anyone.
But for a massive battle to go unnoticed was nearly impossible.
Thatâs why I made preparations in advance.
My ability would be exposed to the rest of the world, but I needed to show that the fight was justified.
If Iâm lucky and have a chance to do so, Iâll take care of business without drawing attention.
Think about it.
I just wanted to use my abilities to obtain massive amounts of money and live a peaceful, happy life.
But these goons wonât leave me alone.
Something I learned while being bullied by Jae-Hyuk.
If someone tries to fight you, you shouldnât run away and fight back instead.
And I wonât let any cheap excuses sway me otherwise.
I will show that my resolve is firm tomorrow.
I wasnât able to get Louverâs Necklace in todayâs hunt.
However, I was able to get something I needed more: Banwol Jincheon.
Louverâs necklace has a very low chance to ignore an attack, both magical and physical.
Low chance.
It was like fighting a boss online and hoping for a 0.1% chance crit to work.
Depending on such as low percentage.
And the set effect worked only inside the dungeon, absorbing the monstersâ magical energy and turning it into a shield.
It didnât matter since I have the Mana Shield.
Banwol Jincheon in both hands.
[610+20+400+400+286] = 1,716
I gained 600 more strength than holding onto just one.
And if I added strength enhancing jewels?
Of course I couldnât recover the jewels, but I didnât think of it as a waste in the slightest.
I went to a blacksmith in a weapon shop nearby by the market.
The interior was luxurious, categorized clearly from section to section.
Weapons made by the blacksmith.
Under the bright lighting, a red light similar to that of Blood Stone colored one of the walls.
From small daggers to giant swords, mace, and even the Rangerâs shortbows and longbows.
Looking at how well the equipments were made, I felt like I could trust the place somewhat.
âAnyone here?â
âYes. Letâs talk outside.â
From one of the rooms in the shop, a man with a huge belly appearing to be 50 years old walked out.
A man wearing a running shirt that revealed his neck to his chest.
Despite being pale, he was covered in black soot like his shirt that showed signs of hard labor.
âIâm trying to embed a jewel on my weapon.â
To my words, he put on a pair of thick glasses that hung by his neck.
âIs the weapon youâre hold Banwol Jincheon?â
âYes. Thatâs correct. Iâm hoping it can be taken care of here?â
âOhoâŚ.. Havenât been able to see a decent weapon in a while.â
âIs it possible?â
âOf course. Itâs doable. If youâre going to do both, it takes about 1 hour. Will you come back for them later?â
âNo. Iâll wait.â
Soon as my words ended, he immediately got to work.
After securing the weapon tightly, he began to process the jewel.
To blacksmiths who could only level up by hammering, they put all their points into strength.
Because youâll need to be able to wield all the weapons in the world in order to make them.
Hearing the hammering, I thought about the grandpa I met while I was at Noblesse.
Another member of Noblesse.
Honestly I hoped that Sangmin and his friends, as well as the grandpa would not be my enemies.
Like Jong Ho, I got to know them after being Awakened.
To point my sword at them, I couldnât help but be sad about it.
While I was thinking, the owner spoke.
âDid you get them from the level 18 dungeon?â
âYes. Thatâs right.â
âFor someone so young, thatâs amazing.â
Hearing his words, I couldnât help but smile coolly.
âThe work is done. Would you like to check?â
The sword I received from the blacksmith had red light flowing from the handle.
The yellow moonlight that covered the sword, and the red light that appeared as though trying to decorate that light.
I grabbed both Banwol Jincheon.
The strengths I gained from the jewels should be minor, but the power felt different than before.
âThank you.â
âNo need to. Please come often. It brings great joy to blacksmiths who can work on amazing weapons like that.â
Preparing everything I could, I went back home.
I saw mother who was studying Korean in the living room.
The danger I faced now. I could not let it also affect my mother.
A quick decision. Itâs a plan thatâs only a week old, but I needed to proceed without any hesitation.
At least for tomorrow during the fight, I wanted her to be in a safe place.
Despite being a safehouse, if they charge in relentlessly, it wouldnât be safe for long.
After a brief moment of thinkingâŚ
âBack, son?â
âOh! Mrs. Professor hard at studying?â
âDonât tease me! Thereâs nothing incorrect an adult would say. Thereâs always a time for everything, so trying late isnât working out very well.â
âEh. If itâs you, youâre still young.â
âFine. Did you eat?â
âYes. I ate with Jong Ho-hyung.â
âAh. I decided to meet with Jong Ho tomorrow. You already heard, right?â
âYes, Iâm aware.â
I asked Jong Ho to take mother to a safe location.
A place with as many government members as possible.
Jong Ho probably thought of a place already.
Then. The news on TV that I wasnât paying attention sudden caught my eye.
-MBM news.
Recently, there has been news that attacks from the Awakened on regular personnel have been increased.
The government is trying to find a solution.
Theyâre trying to find a solution by the unawakened peopleâs representative and Awakened Associationâs representative to meet.
Letâs find out about the details. Kim Sang Hwan reporting.
-Yes. This is Kim Sang Hwan.
Iâm at Seoul, Korean Awakened Association headquarters.
Preparations are underway for tomorrowâs meeting.
As you can see, security is incredibly tight.
Especially due the fact that the discussion will be from 17:00 to 21:00 and citizens will be able to participate.
And the highest rankers from each class in the nation will be participating as wellâŚ..
âThatâs it.â
No matter how insane you are, that place would be impossible to attack.
Iâll have to send this information to Jong Ho as soon as possible.
âMom, Iâll be going in first.â
âYou should wash your feet at least!â
âNope! Your sonâs feet isnât smelly at all!â
âHa⌠I bought some grapes so if feel hungry, just let me know.â
âAlright.â
Why would feet smell matter when there is such an important situation to take care of.
Itâs okay not to wash for one day. Because this will affect me for the rest of my life.
Returning to my room, I immediately called Jong Ho.
After a few rings, he received it.
-Oh. Min-Cheol.
âYes. Hyung. Where were you planning to bring my mother to tomorrow?â
-As you asked, a place thatâs safe and with a lot of people.
âI saw the news just now. I found the safest place in the world, you know?â
-Are you talking about the headquarters that the meeting will take place?
âYes! Thatâs right.â
-Iâm going to bring her over there tomorrow. Since it is a public meeting, youâd have to reserve in advance. I already did though.
âWhatâŚ. You did?â
-Yeah. No need to worry. Ah. And I got the heli-cameramen that youâve requested.
âReally, thank you so much, hyung.â
-Donât stick too much. Tomorrow is an important day. Iâm sorry hyung canât be a bigger help to you.
âDonât say that.â
-Yeah. Rest and Iâll see you tomorrow.
âYes hyung.â
A man who sees much further than I do.
I was sincerely happy to have someone this reliable by my side.
Now I donât have to keep worrying about my motherâs safety.
I can now focus on the battle tomorrow.
All attacks and defensive skills ready.
Other than Meteor Call and Iceberg, all skills are at level 100.
Noblesse members ranging from level 100 to 200.
Even if they came in droves, I was confident that I wouldnât be pushed back.
Early morning.
Despite not setting my alarm, I woke up to the same time I usually go out to hunt.
From the kitchen, I heard mother cooking.
Inside my room drifted a scent of delicious foods.
For this peace, Iâm struggling to grow in a do or die situation.
Jong Ho planned to come around noon.
After eating, they planned to go to where the news covered last night.
After breakfast, I did maintenance on my equipment.
Although I call it maintenance, but really it was just equipping and checking my status.
In each hand I held Banwol Jincheon.
Louverâs Ring and Bracelet on my left hand.
And the Titan Boots by the entrance.
Things thatâll bring my abilities to the next level.
They were irreplaceable items.
Jong Ho eventually arrived.
âMadam, how have you been?â
âAha. Young Jong Ho came?â
âWould you like to go on a date after lunch? I heard you enjoy literature, and there is a place that would be quite a sight to visit.â
âOh? Is that so? Min-Cheol can come along too.â
âNo, I have something to take care of.â
âReally? Thatâs too bad. What concert?â
âNot a concert. Your son is an Awakened, right? Thereâs a nice lecture being held that would be good to hear, so Iâd like to take you there.â
âJong Ho, youâre so caring. If I was 10 years younger, Iâd fall for you.â
âYour compliments are too much! Haha.â

With that relaxing atmosphere, Jong Ho and mother left the house.
After confirming their vehicle leaving, I prepared to leave.
Here was the front of the Noblesse guild building.
I was here to smash both the stable and the predators.
