I nodded my head in affirmation and slowly told him about the memory of the day in detail.
Private interview held in a special detention center. And about the existence of another secret area that only I had heard of.
“They say they don’t know the exact location or what the space is for. They said that only the dead Lee Jeong-ryong and Seok-jun Seok-jun could enter.”
After hearing the whole story, Team Manager Choi murmured softly.
“I hoped… … It was all true.”
,,yes? ,,It is a reaction beyond my expectations. Team leader Choi asked me as I opened my eyes wide.
“Is there anyone other than Jin Tae-kyung who knows about this?”
“Uh, Ko Se-won and I are probably the only ones. The sound was also temporarily blocked, and the shape of the mouth was covered while speaking.”
“I think you said that you were accompanied by the Blue House security office.”
“It seemed suspicious, but so far there have been no questions or responses. I don’t know if he would have reported it to President Baek Han-seong.”
“Um, I see.”
I answered the questions diligently, now it’s my turn. I looked at Team Leader Choi questioningly.
“Did Team Leader Choi know about it? Team leader Choi nodded his head obediently without any denial.
“I also heard from someone else.” “… … I knew not two, but four. Isn’t this enough for President Han-seong Baek to know?” “Well, probably not. The security of the Ares guild is thorough, especially since only a very few people are permitted information about Area A. And???… Team Leader Choi added calmly.
“Three. Not four.”
,,yes? ,,“The person who gave me the information died recently. Of course, he was also the person closest to the dark secret of the Ares guild, like Go Se-won.” As far as I know, there aren’t many people like that. No, since the establishment of the Ares Guild, there are only a handful of them.
‘Besides, if he died a while ago.’ The name of a person that pops into your mind.
Finally realizing his true identity, I cracked my brain in a low voice.
“Song Cheon-woo.”
Manager Choi nodded and continued.
“Inside the last gate we met, he told me about many secrets he had been hiding. I don’t know if it was a final remorse or if it was because he wanted to make himself feel better.”
It doesn’t matter why. Because the water has already been spilled and there is no turning back. But we had to look for traces in the spilled water.
“Did Song Chun-wu know the location or use of another secret area? I think that old man would know.”
“He didn’t know where it was either, but he knew what it was for.”
“What is it?”
Another use of the secret area. That’s what I’ve been most curious about so far. If Area A is a shell, the secret area within it is the kernel.
Lee Jeong-ryong and Seok-jun Seok. What is the secret shared only by the two priests?
What is hidden there that is unknown even now, when a thorough investigation into Area A is being conducted?
‘An astronomical amount of cash? S-class magic crystal secretly stolen? Or else… … Human laboratory?
All sorts of conspiracy theories and keywords from movies flash through my head.
However, a word from team leader Choi that I heard the next moment left my dizzy mind empty.
“This is my maternal grandfather.” “yes?” “Hiding my maternal grandfather’s existence from the world. That’s another use of the secret area.” How much time had passed, I couldn’t move for a while even though the wind was blowing and the clouds were slowly passing over my head.
‘This crazy.’ I hadn’t even thought of this.
It’s Tian Tae-min. That Cheon Tae-min is in the secret area?
It feels like an angler from Gyeongsang-do hit the back of the head with an ohama. I, who had been as stiff as a stone statue, managed to get my voice out.
“Uh, maybe. Aren’t there two maternal grandfathers?”
“No, because this matter needs to be clear.”
Team leader Choi, who was looking at me with an expression saying, “Are you an idiot?” replied.
“As far as I know, yes.”
“… … her.”
Sibal, it looks real.
Then, as I stood speechless for a moment, Team Manager Choi hit a home run in a row.
“They said he had already lost consciousness about 20 years ago. Lee Jeong-ryong and Song Chun-wu covered up the fact and kept it a secret until now.” “…… Losing consciousness? Cheon Tae-min. No, he?” Immortal hero born by mankind. Slayer⑸ ayer).
Cheon Tae-min, who even defeated the demon king Asmodeus, is a vegetable.
This is more unbelievable news than Jin-ho passing the exam and Hyuk Moo-jin becoming the leader of the Moorim.
‘Does that make sense?’
Cheon Tae-min is in the same position as the martial god of Moorim.
Twenty years had passed since he went into seclusion, but no one could even touch Cheon Tae-min’s toes.
A strong man who is flawless and possesses absolute power.
He was even called an immortal hero and gained the authority he has today because he had that much power.
But to think that such a Cheon Tae-min has been in a vegetative state for decades, even in modern times where cutting-edge medicine and magical treatments exist.
‘This smells.’ It seems that such thoughts were clearly expressed on his face. Before I could say anything, Choi shook his head.
“I don’t think Lee Jeong-ryong-mi or Song Chun-wu were involved.”
“Why do you think so?”
“Everyone has to be honest in the face of death. Especially when family members are being held hostage.”
“… … After that, too.”
“The important thing is that my maternal grandfather is hidden in another secret area in Area A. And no one except three knows this. Even in the government, which is thoroughly investigating District A.”
I asked, thinking of President Baek Han-seong, who was by my side throughout the state funeral.
If there is a profession that is more adept at hiding one’s true feelings than anyone else in the world, it would be politicians.
“Is it really so?”
“This is not mere speculation, it is a conviction based on information, as several key insiders of the government investigation team already dispatched to the scene have joined us.”
U ?
“So you can rest assured, at least for now.”
Watching Team Leader Choi explain in a calm tone, I suddenly thought of that.
Maybe the time of the past week was not the time that made him run beyond sadness and wake up.
this person is… … You were already starting.’ After going through a desperate crisis in Sichuan and indescribable sadness in Pyeongchang, Team Leader Choi has grown up.
And I was guessing in my heart where his next step, running with a wide stride, would go.
“The expected investigation period is at least one month. What would Jin Tae-gyeong do?” “First, we must stop the government investigation. To secure his recruits from his suspicions.” “Then what is the quickest way to stop the investigation?” “You should put this human] to sleep and become the owner of Area A as soon as possible. legally.” And being the legal owner of District A means only one thing.

Team leader Choi reached out and stroked the memorial stone.
“I made a promise to Deacon Kim someday.”
The royal castle surrounded by iron fortress collapsed terribly, and the prince who was deprived of succession and exiled finally returned after a long time.
In order to recover the crown that was stolen long ago.
“The Ares Guild… … I will definitely make it mine.”
The deep sunken eyes shone.
The late Kim Hwa-jong. Team leader Choi, who was staring at the name engraved the highest, turned his head toward me.
“Can you help me?”
It’s a question you don’t want to ask.
From the first day I signed the contract he offered me, my answer was fixed.
“The contract period is still long, so I’m going to help you. You don’t have to kill someone else, do you?” Team leader Choi let out a laugh at my naturally virtuous question.
The one who smiled for the first time right after waking up? took out his smartphone and answered.
“No. This time, the role of the whip is sufficient.” “whip?” “Yes. Some carrots and sticks for those who hesitate.” Doo-du-du-dak.
After three beeps, someone answered the phone. Team leader Choi spoke in a low-pitched voice to the person on the phone whose identity was unknown.
“hello. Vice President Park Dae-won This is Choi Min-woo.”
Daewon Park. The moment I heard the name, which I had heard a lot through various news recently, I realized who he was talking to.
‘Now that Seok-jun Seok-joon, the current guild leader of the senior executive of the Ares Guild, has died, and most of the executives in power have been summoned to the prosecution due to Ko Se-won’s exposure, he is the one who has accidentally become the temporary representative of the Ares Guild.
– Yes. I’m listening. Minwoo Choi’s team… … No, Team Manager Choi replied in a soft tone to Minwoo Choi’s dark voice over the receiver.
“It looks like you haven’t made up your mind yet. Seeing as he passed away right after the state funeral without saying anything to me.” – Well, that’s probably…
“Six o’clock in the afternoon.”
– Yes?
“I will go directly to the head office. When I open the door to the conference room and enter, I want all the executives, including the vice president, to be there.”
– Now, please wait a moment. Still need some time… … .
“It is six o’clock in the afternoon. There are three hours left, so time will be halfway. Enough then.”
No, no, what is the situation?
Team leader Choi opened his mouth with a nonchalant expression as I stared at him who hung up the phone without hesitation.
“Since you have heard, I think you can roughly understand the situation. Then let’s go.”
“Right now? Aside from everything else, they said there were three hours left.”
“We will also hold a press conference.”
“… … yes?”
“It’s going to be a busy day. As much as I waited for a long time, once I drew my sword, I had to swing it like a thunderbolt.”
