Chapter 564
What is the first thing to do when a company grows?
Each person’s answer will be different, but every CEO has a dream that they keep in a corner of their heart.
It is the building of the office building.
‘No, should I call it an extension in this case?’ While walking inside the guild house, I suddenly stopped and looked down at the scene unfolding down the hallway.
“Geez, raise some materials with gravity magic here!”
“Sleep, pay attention. A hand from a tanker.”
“Me.”
“Here too. But why?”
“Why, I’m just doing it to make it work. If you understand, just five F-rankers and one or two E-rankers.”
hard. thud!
Polished marble rises and falls in the air, and solid concrete walls shatter with every swing of the muscular giants.
Hundreds of diligent workers. Maybe it’s because they’re all from Awakeners, but the speed of work is no joke.
Of course, the salary was high, but to a young tycoon with thick pockets, it was nothing more than a pittance.
Team leader Choi, who had thrown out that word a few days ago, immediately took action.
I heard that they bought all the neighboring lands at a higher price and started a major reconstruction, but I’m just wondering what to do.
‘It’s not like I’m using my money anyway.’ And there is a separate corner for my money to go into.
The 50 trillion won worth of assets that have not been taxed is gradually decreasing depending on the use, but compared to the remaining money, it is nothing more than new blood.
’50 Joe… … Even thinking about it again, it is an unrealistic amount. Like a figure of a person getting closer and closer from across the hallway.
Swoop.
The giant man who had glided through the air like a ghost suddenly opened his mouth.
“Hey, I enjoyed the press conference.”
? 丁 No, hyung, why are you here?
Looking at Magic Johnson with an absurd look, I barely managed to keep my mouth shut.
“What is it?”
why?”
“Because that’s what I want to tell you. Why are you here today?”
“I have something to look at.”
“You’re not here for the bathroom, are you?”
“Of course not. I came because I have something to deliver to Choi.
“Do you eat your e-mail with cereal?”
“You’re not uncomfortable with me, are you?”
“You didn’t think it was, did you?”
Magic Johnson let out a deep sigh at the knife-like reply.
“Hey, Jin. They say that a tender person like me could be hurt by such harsh words.”
“… … Are you hurt?”
I thought as I looked at his thick neck and steely copper forearms.
‘It doesn’t even look like a knife.’ If you have that kind of physicality, you can move from a wizard to a melee hunter right now.
Even if you search for ‘Magic Johnson Staff’ on the Internet right away, related videos pop up.
There is no one who already knows the story of how a staff made to use magic knocked out an ogre’s skull with a single blow, and opinions in the health community were divided as to how much that staff weighed.
‘Such a human being is a weak dog.’
Magic Johnson, who understood the meaning of my deep eyes, shook his head.
“The mind, not the body. Your heart is important, Jin.”
“A person with a weak heart cannot withstand a cataclysm. Because he is strong, he survived and is called a hero.”
「Hmm. I’m not sure if it’s a compliment or a curse.”
“Think of it as a compliment.”
Magic Johnson, with a suspicious look in his eyes, continued.
“Anyway, I enjoyed the press conference. It was quite meaningful.”
A press conference??? .
I scratched the back of my head in embarrassment.
The official Blue House press conference held at the request of the President brought about a great response.
From what I’ve heard, domestic audience ratings alone exceeded 70%, and it became a hot topic in foreign media as well.
Two days later, related search terms are still firmly at the top of real-time search terms. And maybe in a week or so.
“There was also the influence of the broadcasting accident, and the ratings were a bit good. I didn’t expect Johnson to see it either.”
“Jin’s actions are always a hot topic even in America. In particular, President Baek’s last words must have sounded meaningful to some people. Of course I am one of them.”
“Oh, that’s it.”
“When I asked why you were letting Mr. Lee go up like that, you did a good job. is not it?”
“Well. I didn’t feed them… But from Seok-Jun Seok-Jun’s point of view, he must have been fed.”
Although this is not the Spring and Autumn Warring States period, legitimacy is always needed to inherit a huge group.
And in that respect, Seo Seok-jun, who was inaugurated as the new deputy guild leader of the Ares Guild, was quite unorthodox.
“The Ares Guild is a huge empire. Even if you inherited the shares according to the will, you cannot inherit all of Mr. Lee’s influence. If they were of the same blood, they would have met the conditions to some extent in terms of Asian emotions, but that’s not it, right?”
“Lee Jeong-ryong had a son, but they said he died early. He is an ordinary person who has not awakened, so even if he was still alive, he would not have been able to succeed Lee Jeong-ryong.”
Modern guilds are like the Moorim sect. Just as white school students cannot become masters of the Hwasan faction, those with power and authority as hunters can become guild leaders.
Magic Johnson, who could not have known that fact, nodded.
“That’s right. On the other hand, that friend Sukkochun has good skills, contrary to his personality flaws. He also passed the S-class Hunter qualification test this time with a huge score. Of course, it was quickly buried due to other issues popping up in succession these days.”
“It’s Seok Ko-chun, Seok-jun Seok-jun, and well, that bastard was Lee Jeong-ryong’s security team leader anyway.”
“That much is not enough. We need the support of other founding contributors who made the current Ares Guild possible.
but… … . J “I didn’t have enough time.” “that’s right. hour. Perhaps Mr. Lee did not think that he would die so easily while drafting his will in case of any eventuality.” However, he eventually died, and Seok-jun Seok-jun inherited the crown before solidifying his position as heir.

The position of security team leader was proof that he was closest to him, but there were many difficulties in inheriting the huge group called Ares Guild.
Even if there is Lee Jeong-ryong’s will, it is not easy for the elderly elders to respectfully serve a young man in his 30s as their superior.
Furthermore, even Seok-Jun Seok-Jun showed a sudden collapse after Lee Jung-Ryong’s death. ‘In the meantime, since the authenticity was openly denied at the Blue House official press conference with a viewer rating of 70%… … A word thrown by President Baek Han-seong was subtle and sharp.
At the same time as criticizing the Ares guild involved in this mutation gate in a cutting manner, and at the same time highlighting Lee Jeong-ryong’s achievements during his lifetime, he wrapped it up as saying that I inherited his will.
‘It was completely a game of making and playing.’ This press conference was a collaboration between President Baek Han-seong and Team Leader Choi, who had been anti-Ares since their days as members of the National Assembly.
He recruited reporters, threw out questionnaires, and led the story in the desired direction.
Lines and actors thoroughly prepared from beginning to end If Lee Jeong-ryong were alive, this scenario would have been scrapped, but Seok-jun Seok-jun did not have the strength to quell the new underdog rebellion, and thanks to that, we finished the filming safely.
With an excellent box office record of 70% in domestic ratings and the spotlight from foreign media.
「Anyway, another small victory, sir. At a time like this, I need a glass of champagne. Where is Choi?」
“It was like that before, but these days I’m particularly busy. If you’re lucky, you might be in your office right now.”
“doesn’t exist.”
Magic Johnson added with a shrug.
“I’ve just been on my way.”
“Aha. Something happened again.”
It’s nothing new. Words are the team leader, but from the beginning, Choi was no different from the actual guild leader, and now the public perception is like that.
He is probably one of the busiest people in all of Korea.
“Hey, Jin. Shall we take a walk together?”
“Good. Just avoid dark places.”
“The jokes have increased.”
“… … Say it as a joke.”
I increased the pace of my silent walk. groaned Magic Johnson, who had followed him stepping on the air as if he were floating.
“Jin, why do you keep making me a strange person?”
“It’s because you keep saying strange things.”
“That is, of course, a joke. And I’m also a person with a taste. Jin has nothing to do with it. I don’t know if it’s that friend over there.”
Where Magic Johnson’s gaze followed, a tall, handsome man passed by.
“It’s a face I haven’t seen before. Are you a new guild member?」
“… … Anyone who hears it will know that Johnson is also a member of our guild. How many faces do you know?”
“Nonsense! There’s no way I can’t remember such a handsome man!”
What is unnecessarily resolute?
It’s a ghost in this aspect, really. I answered with a small sigh.
“I don’t know the name either, but you are a rookie. Maybe it was class C?”
“I don’t know who the former guild leader is, but I must have shed bloody tears. That level of appearance is enough to create a sensation. You’re going to do well as a star hunter too?”
“The former guild leader you mentioned must be shedding bloody tears because of other things. Because I was so embarrassed during the press conference.”
“Ah, then maybe?”
“yes. That friend belonged to the Ares Guild.”
Moving from the Ares Guild to the Peace Guild did not simply mean a transfer.
Magic Johnson, guessing the general situation, murmured.
“You are a living witness that Cheol Ong Fortress is shaking. How many people have you moved from Ares so far?」
“The numbers are small. About ten people.”
“Numbers are not important. It’s proof that a gap is widening.”
I nodded slightly. If it can be seen from the outside, there must be a bigger crack on the inside.
‘Of course, we can’t ignore the probability that Seok-Jun Seok-Jun is an intentionally sent spy.’ That’s why I accepted it through a thorough verification process, and I heard that they plan to put it into practice little by little.
Even I, who has a system, cannot see through people’s hearts, so Team Manager Choi’s information power will be of great help in this regard.
“By the way, where is it? Security seems pretty tight.”
I, lost in thought and walking silently, suddenly raised my head.
In the direction Magic Johnson’s finger was pointing at, there was an entrance door made of titanium alloy.
“Ah, that one. It is a training ground.”
“A training ground? Training room?」
“yes.”
“oh my god. What kind of training room has such tight security?”
Magic Johnson asked with a laugh.
“Only five overlapping magics. Of course, you may not want to show the training process to others, but… … Isn’t it excessive considering that it’s inside the guild house?」
“well.”
I was speechless. Anyway, that training room is a space reserved for only a very few people.
for example… … .
‘It’s limited to those who practice Jingasimbeop.’ This is a secret I haven’t told Magic Johnson yet. It was also an area that was allowed only to Team Leader Choi, Deacon Kim, and Song Song-i and Lim Kkeok-jeong.
“Looking at the level of security, it doesn’t seem like a space open to all guild members.”
I nodded my head at his sharp point.
“Exactly. It is only for the early members of the guild, including me.” “Umm. It’s a secret. Saying that seems to awaken the spirit of inquiry as a wizard.” “You’re doing too much. Can’t we just look around for a bit?”
“It’s not possible. There are people inside.”
“who? Maybe Choi?」
“no.”
Feeling suddenly bitter, I continued.
“He is someone who is more desperate for training than anyone else.”
“… … ? There are J 11. that? A run person.”
You cannot see it with your eyes right now, but a clear image emerges in your mind.
The image of a middle-aged hunter training repeatedly while sweating like rain.
He pretends to be better than anyone else, but his will to stand up again with a broken heart.
‘Slowly… … Should I start with that?’ A thought that flashed through my mind at the moment slowly took shape as I listened to Magic Johnson’s words that followed.
「I can’t help it. When you meet Choi, tell him.”
“Yes? What?”
“this.”
Swoop.
A small object that burrows into the bosom with a fine flow of energy.
Confirming the presence of the chip, I raised my head and could see it. The face of the great mage hardened seriously.
“It’s not just Korea and America. Mana levels are skyrocketing all over the world. 7 percent increase over the previous year. It’s the first time I’ve felt so ominous about my lucky number.”
