Episode 423
After finishing work in Korea.
Jinhyeok and his party prepared to leave for America.
“Ji-huna… … I have to get along well even without Hyung-ah… … .”
“Brother Tom… … .”
“… … Don’t forget Miho either.”
“Yeah! Have a nice trip, Miho-sister!”
It was the same with Tam, who was hugging Ji-hoon, a boy he was close with at the Bell Orphanage, and shedding tears, and Mi-ho, who was expressionless as usual but approached Ji-hoon timidly and stroked his head.
Now that I had left for the US, I had to finish all my work, take a little rest, and then return to the top, so the regret was even greater.
But Tam and Miho had no choice but to leave Jinhyeok’s side.
“Have a nice trip.”
“Yes, I hope your mother is in good health too.”
“Mom! I’ll come see you again later!”
“… …Thank you for taking care of me for a few days.”
Jinhyeok, Hye-rin, and Ha-ryu also felt sad saying goodbye to Jeong-hye, but they were more determined than Tam and Mi-ho.
Knowing full well that if they rested on the present peace, they would not be able to prepare for future disasters, they suppressed their regret and said goodbye to Jeong-hye.
“Would you like to go straight to the airport?”
“Okay. Have you contacted the US?”
“I did it in advance. I guess Alchemy was waiting for a call, and I got a reply right away. However, I heard there was a slight problem.”
“… … A problem? No way.”
Alchemy, who had gone to America first, did not go alone.
Jinhyuk’s loyal subordinates, Tune and Basil, were together.
Didn’t they take away the remaining half of Jinhyuk’s soul soldier army?
‘I thought the Rothschild family would have been roughly sorted out by now… … .’
That’s why Dongwan’s words ‘problem’ were difficult to understand for Jinhyeok, who had never worried about them separately.
“What’s the problem?”
“They said they couldn’t enter the Rothschild state.”
“… … Rothschild State?”
“Oh, sir, you may not know the situation in America. I guess my explanation was inadequate.”
“No, it’s okay. Just tell me what the heck the Rothschild stock is.”
Jinhyeok, who didn’t know why the Rothschild family became the Rothschild ‘lord’, urged Dongwan, who lightly hit his forehead as if he had forgotten.
At Jinhyeok’s urging, Dongwan nodded once and opened his mouth.
“You know about the Rothschild family, right?”
“Yes. I know what Alchemy’s real name is.”
“And the current Rothschild state is the former state of California. After the cataclysm, the US state of California was almost destroyed or partially destroyed, but the Rothschild family purchased the place with a huge amount of gold bullion and restored it. Since then, California has become a Rothschild state and is treated as a separate country within the US.”
“… … It’s a separate country within the United States… … Now I understand why you couldn’t get in.”
I don’t think you’ll need a passport or anything.
Although it is a separate country, it is ultimately one of the large states of the United States.
‘But if the Rothschild family, who are both governors and kings, want to, they can easily block the entry and exit of three people.’
After hearing Dong-wan’s explanation, Jin-hyeok was able to clearly understand the situation Alchemy, Tune, Basil, and others were in in America.
‘If we’re not careful, we might have to deal with the entire United States, and Tune and Basil don’t have the ability to wage an all-out war against a state that’s on par with a country. That’s probably why they haven’t entered the Rothschild state yet.’
The Rothschild States are states and small countries located within the United States.
It was too risky to break into such a place by force, and his loyal subordinates, Tune and Basil, were worried that it might cause Jinhyeok trouble, so they could not move.
Of course, if it was a situation that could be resolved with force, they would have done so, but unfortunately, there is nothing as useless as mediocre force.
Well, even with Tune and Basil, the army of soul soldiers they gave them was more than enough to turn Korea into a sea of fire, but the world is always a relative evaluation.
“Where are you now?”
“California… … That is, it is said to be in Nevada, right next to the current Rothschild state.”
“Where’s the airport?”
“Yes. Do you want to go straight to Nevada?”
“uh.”
“I’ll tell the captain.”
“Okay, let’s get on it.”
“yep.”
As soon as the words were finished, Jinhyuk and his party got into the ceremonial limousine and headed towards Incheon International Airport where they were waiting. * * *
Incheon International Airport.
There was a time when operations were halted for a while due to monsters taking over the skies after the Great Cataclysm, but humans were evolving animals.
The whole world came together to fight the monsters that had taken over the skies, and stealth features were installed on airplanes to prevent damage from the monsters.
However, accidents and incidents happened so often that it was hard to forget about them, so airplanes were not used very often by the general public.
“Have a nice trip.”
“I hope we don’t get attacked on the way there.”
“Take the portal.”
“I can’t help it since Tam and Miho insist on taking the plane.”
“But it’ll be there soon. These days, planes are pretty fast. And private jets are pretty fast.”
“I like that.”
It wasn’t something to worry about for Jinhyeok and his group.
To someone who had chosen to take a flight that took more time and was more dangerous than the portal that would have allowed him to go to America in one breath because of Tam and Miho’s request, the dangers of the sky didn’t really bother him.
Even if the plane crashed in the sky, there was a way for Jinhyuk and his group to survive.
“See you later. Don’t play around without me.”

“Are you going to return straight to the tower?”
“maybe?”
“… … That’s too bad. Then when can I see you again?”
“It’ll take quite a while to get back this time. I think I’ll have to go over 300 floors at least before I can come back.”
“You’ll soon reach the 200th floor if you think about your abilities, but… … you won’t be able to get there right away, right?”
“of course.”
Jinhyeok nodded as if it was natural to Duchan’s regretful words and patted Duchan on the shoulder.
Jinhyuk doesn’t just climb the tower.
Only after training until you become much more powerful than that floor, can you begin to climb the floors again.
That’s why it would take Jinhyuk, who could climb up to the 300th floor in one breath, quite a long time to go beyond the 300th floor.
That means it will take at least several months, or at most over a year, until Jinhyuk returns to Earth.
“Do you have any last words?”
Du-chan, who had been waiting for Jin-hyeok without fail, couldn’t hide his regret and asked if he had anything to say to him.
“What would happen if we ended up at odds with the United States?”
“……yes?”
Du-chan immediately regretted bringing that up.
USA.
A country that has never once backed down from its title as the world’s most powerful nation, even after great upheavals.
It was on par with China, with a formidable army of climbers, and could be said to be the most powerful country on Earth today.
The position of president of the association that Du-chan is currently sitting in is no different from the position given by the association headquarters that started in the United States, so that says it all.
“Can I ask what that means?”
“Literally. I think there will be a lot of friction with the Rothschild family during this trip to America. So the Rothschild state they belong to will also have similar friction.”
“… … If I ask you not to do it, you won’t do it?”
Jinhyeok smiled faintly at Duchan’s question in a trembling voice and boarded the private plane.
“No. Just so you know.”
“… … ”
Du-chan had no choice but to blankly stare at the departing plane, leaving Jin-hyeok’s voice echoing in his ears behind. * * *
“Chairman, did you have a nice trip, teacher?”
After Jinhyuk left.
Cheol-min, who was busy arranging for Jin-hyeok to stay and where he would be staying in the United States, came back and asked about Jin-hyeok’s well-being.
Although he looked exhausted from just coming from work, Du-chan nodded readily because he was impressed by his thoughts about Jin-hyeok.
“Manager Choi. Thank you for your hard work. Thanks to you, Jinhyeok will be doing well in America.”
“Really? Haa, it’s been worth it after working like crazy for a few days. I guess I can rest now, so I’ll go home and get some good sleep.”
Cheol-min, who had been busy making reservations for Jin-hyeok’s private plane and hotels and restaurants in the U.S. for several days before his departure, sighed and rubbed the bags under his tired eyes as if he had been waiting for this moment.
but-
“Chief Choi.”
“Yes, Mr. Chairman.”
“Before Jinhyeok left, he told me something.”
“What, you said, ‘Good job – take care –’?”
The words returned, making Cheol-min stop his hand from rubbing his stiff eyebrows, which were now frowning and treating it as if it was nothing.
“They said that on this trip to the US, they might clash with the US.”
“… … Are you serious?”
“I wish it was a joke… … .”
“Why didn’t you stop them… … why did you just let them go? If that goes wrong, not only will we die, but Korea will die too!”
“… … If he was the kind of person who could be stopped if you told him to, I would have stopped him a long time ago.”
“ah.”
The most powerful country, the United States.
If Jinhyeok, a Korean, were to mess up the place, the retaliation would certainly be directed not only at Jinhyeok but also at the Korean Association he was a part of and Korea.
However, as Du-chan said, Jin-hyeok wasn’t the type of person who wouldn’t do something just because they told him not to, so there was nothing wrong with what Du-chan said.
“… … Then what should we do? We?”
“… … What should I do? Since the person who decided to follow said so, I should try to minimize the shock as much as possible.”
“What do you mean?”
“Prepare to cut ties with the American Association and contact the Blue House. I’ll be working overtime starting today.”
“… … Kkaaaaaa!”
He had been working overtime since yesterday, and today, he finished working overtime, but when he heard that working overtime was starting again, Cheol-min had no choice but to kneel down and scream.
“Instead, I’ll give you a generous bonus this month.”
“Actually, I originally liked working overtime. Let’s go, Chairman.”
He smiled broadly in the face of the huge bonuses that made it difficult to refuse to work overtime.
Originally, sleep was sufficient even after death. * * *
The plane carrying Jinhyeok and his party landed lightly at the airport in Nevada, where they had been flying for several hours on a nearly speedy plane.
“It’s been a while!”
“I meet you, my lord.”
“Kihihi, welcome to my lord.”
The ones who came out to greet Jinhyeok and his party were Alchemy, Tune, and Basil, who had arrived earlier.
Jinhyuk nodded in satisfaction at their appearance, which had not changed much since the last time he saw them, and then went straight to the main point.
“Yes, I heard that you haven’t even set foot in the Rothschild state, let alone seen the face of the Rothschild family.”
“Ah… … You heard.”
“… … I’m sorry. It’s our fault for being inadequate. Miss Alchemy tried her best… … but since this is a city of alchemists, even the alchemical disguises didn’t work.”
“Kit, I’ve seen a lot of cute kids though.”
“Basil.”
“… … Tsk, I’m sorry. I tried to get in through the cute kids, but that side was heavily guarded too. I didn’t think they’d stop snakes either.”
Even Tune and Basil expressed their apologies with hardened faces, as if they had already tried many methods.
Jinhyuk patted their shoulders at their answers.
“Thank you for your hard work. You did the best you could.”
“… … My lord, do you have another method?”
“I thought about it all on my way here. Just trust me.”
“… … As expected, you are my lord.”
Tune looked at Jinhyuk with a look of wonder at how he could solve what they had been suffering for weeks in just a few hours of flight.
“Can you give me some hints on how to do this?”
“It’s hard. If someone were to cause trouble in my front yard, wouldn’t they come out and look, even if it’s just out of curiosity?”
“……yes?”
And in response to the reply, Tune looked at Jinhyuk with a face as if his soul had left him.
“Hehe, as expected from the master.”
“… … Wait… … Wait a minute. Are you really thinking of starting a war against the Rothschilds right now? This is America!”
Unlike Basil, who nodded as if he knew it would happen, Alchemy, who knew a lot about the country called America, could only look at Jinhyeok with a pale, tired face.
But despite Alchemy’s response, Jinhyuk’s thoughts did not change.
“Take me to Rothschild County. We will be having lunch there today.”
“… … ”
As soon as Jinhyuk arrived in America, it was a moment of chaos, destruction, and mayhem.
