I’m the Only Magic Tower Owner Episode 267
“This next disaster is the key.”
The observer operated the remote control and showed the next screen. Unlike typical dungeon gates, the gate was dark red.
“The name of the disaster is ‘Redgate.’”
The guild masters stuck their heads out and showed interest.
“Is this a gate-type disaster?”
“Is there anything different from the ‘Classic Gate’ that often appears?”
“Yes. You may have heard of Blue Gate. It is a disaster better known to us as the ‘Moscow Nightmare.’”
Everyone nodded.
A disaster that brought the powerful nation of Russia to the brink of destruction. It was also a disaster in which former association president Hong Yul played a major role.
At the time, Russia was a representative powerful country that invested more capital in the military than in hunters, but after this incident, it began to focus all its efforts on training hunters.
“No way are you trying to say that a Bluegate-level disaster is coming to Korea…”
“Think of it as twice that firepower.”
Everyone’s complexions darkened.
A disaster more powerful than the disaster that brought Russia, a hunter powerhouse, to the brink of destruction appears in Korea along with the ‘Cataclysm’ disaster.
Now everyone can guess why SG Company fled.
“Are you sure it will appear in Korea?”
“Yes, I’m sure.”
The observer showed the Earth’s weather observation situation.
“The places where abnormal phenomena occur are the United States, the United Kingdom, China, Russia, Egypt, and Korea.”
“They are all powerful countries belonging to M10.”
“Yes, but all four of those countries are Blue Gate. Red Gate appears only in the United States and Korea.”
As if doing a balance patch, ‘Will’ has prepared twin disasters for the world’s leading hunter powerhouse.
However, why do we have to redgate Korea while skipping China and the UK?
The guild masters could not help but lament inwardly.
If a global disaster is underway, support from the international community is also far away. Red Gate had to be stopped only with its own power.
“I’d like to take a moment to express my regrets.”
The observer lowered his voice.
“The result of numerical calculations to determine whether Korea’s current military power can block the firepower of Cataclysm and Redgate.”
“…….”
Everyone swallowed their saliva and waited for what to say. The observer continued speaking with a confused expression.
“There is a 75% chance that Korea will be destroyed.”
Sighs poured out from everywhere. Some people covered their foreheads with their palms, while others tilted their heads to look at the ceiling.
“now.”
President Lee Deok-bae suddenly stood up and applauded to brighten the mood.
“Let’s do our best. Aren’t numbers important? There were many times when we were in crisis, but our Republic of Korea persevered each time!”
This time Hongyeon spoke.
“Then we will take action from now on.”
She continued the meeting resolutely even in a desperate situation.
Some guild masters were relieved to see that. It was a difficult and bloody job, but in the end, when disaster struck, there was no hunter I could rely on more than this person.
Whether it’s displaying a person’s neck at an official event or attending a meeting later than the president, there is only one reason why everyone ignores it.
It was only because of her overwhelming strength.
“If abnormal phenomena begin in earnest, we will issue a wartime order and concentrate the population in Seoul.”
Hongyeon said as she displayed a map on the screen.
“The vast majority of the Republic of Korea’s forces, including me and the executive branch, are heading to Red Gate. We cannot afford to worry about Cataclysm.”
At those words, the expressions of some people hardened.
“So, does that mean we are giving up all territory except Seoul?”
Aila Guildmaster, Ahn Se-hyeon’s question prompted her to nod.
“Worst case scenario, that’s the way it should be.”
“……Huh.”
“Of course, we will rank important areas and dispatch hunters to the provinces, but they will only perform the mission of retaking. If we concentrate people in the Gyeonggi area, we can protect many people with a small number of troops.”
“Hey! Please listen to me for a moment!”
President Lee Deok-bae intervened.
“I think that’s a hasty decision, Chairman.”
Her fine eyebrows furrowed.
“Are you impatient?”
“75%, double that of Bluegate. Aren’t we forgetting something important because of those numerical details?”
Lee Deok-bae said while pounding his chest.
“This is the life of our people!”
“……?”
“Even if Red Gate is stopped, what good will it do if the people’s homes are devastated? This is a government for the people, and an association for the people! The people must come first!”
An excited Lee Deok-bae pointed to the map on the table.
“We must move with the goal of not losing even a single piece of our land to disaster! Otherwise, we cannot call ourselves a country!”
“Mr. President.”
Hongyeon said in a cold voice.
“If we fail to stop Redgate, it is not just a matter of a few territories, but the entire country is in danger.”
“Uh huh! That’s all worry, too much worry. It’s all just a prediction by a man called Oracle, but it’s not 100% certain, is it? Are you saying, Chairman of the Association, that it’s okay for the people’s blood and sweat to be taken away from their home?”
“I didn’t say that.”

Lee Deok-bae smiled kindly but did not give in to his wishes.
“Even though I don’t know much about war, I know one thing for sure! The people are the foundation of the country! In such urgent situations, we must avoid thinking that the lives of the people are good no matter what!”
Several guild masters sighed heavily. Their expressions said, ‘It’s started again.’
Hongyeon answered as if representing their feelings.
“President. If we don’t stop Redgate first, it will be meaningless to defend any territory from Cataclysm.”
“President of the Hongyeon Association!”
Lee Deok-bae came over and warmly held Hong Yeon’s hand.
“The president of the association underestimates himself! And the power of the Republic of Korea! We are strong! We are an M10 country, and we have the best guilds in the world! No disaster can swallow us up!”
Hong Yeon’s golden eyes flashed fiercely.
“Please let go.”
“Hmm? Ah, haha! I’m sorry. I didn’t mean anything bad.”
Lee Deok-bae, who had left, looked at Hong Yeon with a warm smile. Then the bridge of her nose twitched and she soon began to shed tears.
“I am a sinner!”
He suddenly cried and said.
“This reality of having to entrust all the heavy burdens of the country to young people in their golden years is truly cruel! Ah, what on earth has this era taken from us?”
Deokbae Lee began his speech with exaggerated gestures.
The guild masters quietly turned their attention to their cell phones, and Hongyeon took out a handkerchief and scrubbed her hands.
“The more difficult times are, the more we must not turn our eyes to universal values!”
“We will continue the meeting.”
Hongyeon responded coldly and turned her back. Deokbae Lee was giving a speech, but he seemed to be lightly ignoring it.
“If we do not stop Red Gate, the entire Republic of Korea will be trampled by monsters. We will pour our best effort into this. Cataclysm will focus on defending Seoul, and each province will retake only important areas.”
“Then, will the local metropolitan cities also have defensive formations…?”
She shook her head.
“To minimize casualties, we need to concentrate the population in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. Please announce that people from as far away as Jeju Island must at least enter the Gyeonggi-do area to be protected. It takes too long to protect people and recapture key areas.”
“President of the Hongyeon Association!”
The president, who was giving a speech with tears in his eyes, pointed at her.
“Are you sure my sincerity hasn’t reached you? What we should care about the most is…”
“Then I will ask the opposite question.”
Hongyeon was slowly becoming irritated.
“If Red Gate is not stopped, the entire Republic of Korea will be destroyed, including the people’s livelihood and home base. Is there a solution?”
“Uh huh, so it’s too early to make such a conclusion! Do you not believe in the potential of our Republic of Korea?”
“Mr. President, you are overestimating our military power and hastily assuming victory.”
“Of course! Of course! If you don’t trust us, who will you trust!”
Lee Deok-bae was very popular with the people.
He carefully selected and provided only the people’s livelihood policies that the people liked, and his specialty was extorting a lot of money from idle companies and guilds in the name of ‘in the name of the people.’
He raised his approval rating in tens of thousands of ways, such as securing jobs with that money and returning benefits to the people.
And the most serious thing was that Lee Deok-bae himself believed that it was right and regarded it as a belief.
The same goes for this case where a disaster occurs. It was obvious that the people would react more sensitively to Cataclysm, where their property and land were directly at stake, than to Redgate.
Lee Deok-bae’s reaction like this was also within the scope of his actions.
Hongyeon opened her mouth again.
“If we follow the president’s instructions and Red Gate is breached, who will be responsible?”
“That is the responsibility of the association president.”
Her eyebrows twitched.
“And it is also the responsibility of this world that pushed a young lady like the president of the association into war! Ah! What on earth did the disaster take from our humanity…?”
Lee Deok-bae could not continue speaking.
Jump! With an impact sound, his body flipped backwards and hit the wall.
Everyone was scared and jumped up from their seats.
“I can’t listen to you anymore, clown.”
Hongyeon stood up.
“I wonder why a loud-mouthed clown like you is in this position with the votes of the people.”
“Me, me, me…”
Lee Deok-bae, who was trembling and bleeding from his nose, screamed.
“You assaulted me! You were worse than this beast…!”
“violence?”
She came over and stepped on Lee Deok-bae’s hand. He struggled, making a ‘Kwaaaaah!’ sound.
Sreung.
Her sword reached the tip of Lee Deok-bae’s neck.
Finally, Deokbae Lee faced him. Golden eyes that are so creepy that it makes you crazy.
“This is a war. Rather than see the country ruined by the political play of a delusional dreamer, I will cut it out and reduce the casualties.”
“Association leader! What are you doing now? Why are you driving a nail into my chest! How much I cared about the association president…!”
“After Red Gate, you decide whether to boil or boil me.”
She withdrew her sword and kicked Lee Deok-bae in the face as if her anger did not go away.
His head tilts back and his body falls to the floor.
‘… … Whoa!’
The guild masters raised the corners of their mouths and suppressed the urge to applaud, but the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and military officials shouted with their faces turning red.
“What are you doing? Chairman of the Association!”
“I think this is the gangster’s back alley!”
“Are you really crazy? Even your sister treated the president like that…!”
She ran the palm of her hand through her red hair and looked back at the military officials.
The moment I came face to face with the creepy golden eyes, any mental armor was useless.
Without realizing it, fear arose reflexively.
“You are my sister, and I am me. I will take responsibility after this incident.”
She returned to her seat and sat with her legs crossed. Meanwhile, attendants hurriedly rushed over and took the unconscious Lee Deok-bae with them and disappeared.
“What is the responsibility? If the association behaves like this, we will not cooperate!”
“great.”
She shrugged.
“Then, in accordance with the president’s orders, I will abandon Redgate and distribute power throughout the entire region. Whether the country falls or not is none of my business.”
“Oh, no, that’s…!”
They were speechless and stuttered as they continued their story.
“Hmm, hmm. I was just pointing out your attitude. It’s not like we should necessarily do as the President says.”
“We need to convince people well and come to an agreement. If we beat up people like this…”
“I have a really hard time communicating.”
There was power in her golden eyes.
“There is no need to sacrifice your precious life to please a clown who knows nothing about the military. And one more thing.”
She crossed her legs and grabbed the sword handle. That production alone made the three people flinch and tremble.
“This is not cooperation, this is threats.”
