300. Third business
The ones who had been tracking Hyemin for a long time were the Sweepers, a group of spell hunters and bounty hunters.
The Sweepers even operated a group of bounty hunters, and were a group comparable to the Immortal Church in the world of darkness.
What differentiates them from terrorist groups is that they act upon requests instead of committing acts of terrorism.
The current head of Sweeper’s Asia branch is Paul Letts.
He is a Westerner with blonde hair and blue eyes.
He faced the biggest challenge while taking charge of this branch.
‘I thought I caught the tail.’
It is commonly said that the Magic Federation of Yangji is called the Four Major Federations.
European Illuminati.
American Galaxy.
Russian fighting poet.
Asian Circle.
There are four like this.
Everyone hissed, but it was the federation’s request to capture Kang Hye-min and her mother.
Although Paul Letts holds the title of Asia Branch Manager, even he does not know which of the four companies stepped forward. Still, I know that those four places are all pretentious.
I will never admit my identity because I plan on getting out of the way if I make a mistake.
The identity of the Asian branch manager is unknown. It’s also difficult to guess.
However, Paul also knew something.
For example, I know that Kang Hye-min’s talent as a spell user is exceptional.
I had been chasing it for a long time, so it was only natural.
The target’s code name is Spell Arms.
Additionally, I know that the Federation has spell gear that boasts an absurd level of destructive power.
Therefore, the reason Spell Arms was needed was to utilize the special spell gear that the alliance had.
If an ordinary spell user uses the spell gear hidden by the federation, he or she will not be able to start the engine and will die from mana depletion.
Paul knows that the Federation also conducted artificial experiments.
Because his position is also a place to collect information that comes to him knowingly.
I heard that the work is to create a spell user in the form of a clone.
Of course, it was all a failure.
The amount of money spent to create a clone is equivalent to several downtown buildings.
At least we stopped halfway through because we didn’t see any potential, otherwise an astronomical amount of money would have been invested.
‘If that were successful, I wouldn’t be concerned about nurturing spell users.’
Currently, the federation is increasing its investment ratio to foster better spell users. The goal is to create spell users through a combination of drugs and training.
This is what he knew.
The reason I feel embarrassed now is because the request failed.
Tick.
He ran a hand through his blonde hair and thought about it.
‘What should I do with this?’
If I let it go, my pride will be hurt and I will feel like I am being caught.
Didn’t the five wizards I belonged to suffer as well?
The operation failed, and businesses preparing in Busan were also hit hard.
Normally, I wouldn’t just ignore it. If you just ignore this, you will become a fanatic.
Being a bully in this world was no different from advertising that you would become prey.
But let’s catch it.
‘I can’t even think about this.’
A capable wizard took charge of the aftermath of the failed operation in Busan.
In the meantime, I also picked up a special species with strange superpowers.
Although I couldn’t see it with my own eyes, it wasn’t difficult to guess what happened at the scene.
There were also sightings of a special species with hairless superpowers.
The conclusion is this.
The curse doesn’t work on Sechoi Special, the Blue Knight Slayer.
‘It’s a monster.’
As a wizard, this was the first time I had experienced anything like this in the long time I had been active in the world of darkness.
‘It’s dizzying.’
It’s difficult to judge. It didn’t matter. In any case, the decision is not yours, but yours.
Sure enough, less than an hour later, higher-ups requested a video call.
As a wizard, you can communicate through water glasses, but times have changed.
In an age where we can talk to each other face to face with just a click of a finger, what is Soo-kyung?
It’s a useless waste of magical energy.
“How have you been?”
It’s a video call, but the other person’s face is hidden in darkness.
What is this kid doing?
Although it is sometimes curious, the sweeper completely hid the identity of his superiors.
If you struggle to figure it out, you end up in trouble. My predecessor crossed the river like that.
Paul silently recited what had happened and his guesses.
After silence, the Sweeper branch manager spoke.
“give up.”
“Wouldn’t the Federation be damned?”

“I’m telling you to go to hell. If it’s a shame, they can catch it. “I can’t touch the Blue Knight Slayer now.”
So it happened.
Paul silently conveyed his message to those under his command.
If possible, don’t touch NS.
He returned to his daily life.
Before and after the Special Species War.
Immortals are with the Old Force.
The shapeshifters join hands with Excuracy.
Super-powered special species established an association.
At that point, the wizard chose to hide in the shadows.
Where is the darkness?
The back alleys of the city, a haven for criminals.
After the Special Species War, where humans and special species fought, the wizards’ home was in such places.
Sweeper has one duck that lays golden eggs.
It’s a black market.
Sweepers manage more than 80% of the world’s black market.
Of course, very few people knew that.
Paul returned to his original position.
The head of the Asian branch, the mastermind behind the current black market in Korea, and the king of the back alleys.
‘I barely survived.’
It was actually terrible.
A mixed race special species that can repel curses and a monster that goes head to head with the Named.
Didn’t it go way beyond the point of being difficult to deal with?
I also thought it was unexpected.
Regardless of whether the sweeper is a request from the federation or something else, Yoo Gwang-ik avoids it.
‘It’s my first time in my life.’
This kind of experience.
Although they talked about the weakness of the super-powered special species brought in from the field, there was no need to use it.
Anyway, one difficult situation has passed.
If they kept targeting Kang Hye-min, they should have fought against Yoo Kwang-ik.
I felt relieved. She hoped she would never have to face anything else in her life.
‘Let’s go long and thin.’
Paul liked his life now. He had a sense of challenge and didn’t want to jeopardize this position.
And two days later.
Paul felt something strange happening in the market.
That was also my intuition as a wizard.
It all started because of the truth.
“Boss, some crazy guy has been causing trouble for the past few days.”
“so?”
Paul questioned.
What are you doing by telling yourself that?
Usually everything is taken care of. Killing them is common, and sometimes they create half-assed idiots and send them out.
They even go through my mind and erase my memories.
There are many means.
“The truth is, the bastard is a bit fierce. “Please lend me someone.”
This is a request from one of the subordinates who manages the black market.
“Pilseung. “Go and come back.”
Paul dispatched a Korean agent.
* * *
The form, size, and distribution of the black market.
It wasn’t difficult to know all this.
When you enter Namdaemun Market, there is a secret door leading to a store selling kalguksu.
Once inside, there is a passage leading to the basement.
A common name is the noise market.
It was the name of a black market in Seoul.
It was named so because it was noisy because the subway passed right next to it.
An entry card was required, but there was no problem.
“How many should I give you?”
Hyemin’s mother was a black market VIP.
There are only three access cards that I have as a disguised identity.
To save Woo Ji-ho, or Woo Mi-ho’s younger brother, two items were needed.
One is the scale of prominence.
The two are Heart Of Saint.
Anyway, starting with Woo Mi-ho, they are siblings who cost a lot of money.
From a normal business perspective, the investment value is significantly low.
Because the value I see is a little different.
My older brother once said something like that.
If you want to get people on your side, take advantage of their weaknesses.
It is a convenient and efficient method.
But it’s a bit cruel.
There are many things that tickle my mind. Even if I take advantage of a weakness and turn it to my side, what if that weakness disappears later?
Sticking a knife in my back wouldn’t be a problem.
So, it is not a good idea to use people to exploit weaknesses.
There are many better ways than that.
All you have to do is increase the debt in your heart.
The problem is that the heart of a saint is neither a common item nor a gem from the Other Side.
There used to be a wizard named Robert who was active in Europe and elsewhere.
At a time when all wizards hid in the dark, he wandered the world.
His abilities were focused on healing.
He was called a saint because he treated people for a full year without compensation.
Thanks to that, thousands of people survived.
People revered him.
A new religion was almost born.
Then it suddenly disappeared.
There was a lot of talk. He’s dead, kidnapped by a group that covets his healing powers.
It was often said that he was taken in by a group of mad scientists.
“Actually, he’s dead. They say that I healed someone, but he got stabbed to death. “It was a meaningless ending.”
That’s what the lady said.
It was said to be a rumor that any magician of any decent class would know.
A rumor that is mostly accepted as truth.
There was a reason why this rumor spread.
He was truly a saint.
Even as I was dying, I sealed my abilities in my heart.
Only then will the jewel born become the heart of an adult.
As he lay dying, he divided it into eight pieces.
There was a fight back and forth to take it over.
It was a small war that started in Spain. Although it is not apparent on the outside, the whole of Europe was shaken.
At that time, the European magic federation Illuminati, which was hiding in the shadows at the time, suffered a blow and lost a third of its strength.
Old Force, Excuracy, Psionic Society, Magic League.
The battle for the treasure, divided into four parties, ended with all their expectations overturned.
Some have fallen into someone’s hands, but some have disappeared.
The thief with the last one of them stole it and ran away to Japan.
When I caught it, there was no treasure and the thief was already dead.
Having lost the treasure, they ended the fight with a reasonable agreement.
It seemed like there was more to be lost because of the blood we shed.
But about five years ago, rumors began to circulate.
At that time, the thief who made it to Japan was a woman, and it is said that she had a lover.
Therefore, the thieves were a couple.
There was even talk that the man hit the woman on the back of the head violently at the last minute and hid in Korea.
In fact, the treasure is said to be sleeping somewhere in the Korean black market.
But no one found it.
There was chaos for a while and the black market almost turned upside down, but no one found the treasure.
Then, is there really no heart of a saint?
“There will be. “The king of the back alleys is a very clever guy. He might know.”
When I heard this far, a good idea occurred to me.
Black market.
Isn’t it just perfect?
To NS’s next project.
NS’s first business was a trading business.
It was a job to manage goods imported from Erzarud, the country of eggs and the country of superpowers.
Since it is a monopoly system, a lot of money is made.
The money I earned there was perfectly suited to be used for labor costs.
NS’s second business was the manufacture of readers.
This too is a monopoly.
It just so happens that there are only two monopolies.
The money you earn here is also considerable. As the second-hand model says, it’s like sitting on a cushion of money.
There should be one or two places to put the money.
We need to take care of the welfare of our employees, and in the meantime, we need to accumulate what we need.
How much does research cost?
Kang Pureum alone burns hundreds of millions of dollars per month.
Kang Hye-min’s mother is not easy either. They also spend over 1 billion won per month on custom research.
The same goes for my mother. She lives without hesitation when she says she needs it for training.
“It’s good to use what you earn well.”
They say there is a way to live without anything, but my mother’s mindset was to use what she had.
She wasn’t the daughter of a chaebol family for nothing.
He is a person who knows how to spend money properly.
Same goes for my father.
“I didn’t know that he would be so dependable because he had one.”
He was obsessed with writing cards for his son.
The same goes for Panda.
I started putting my sincerity into the figures.
Wasn’t that something they started to hide their care of the test subjects?
These days, it seems like they are sincere about that.
It’s the same for everyone.
From the beginning, I did not spare any money on investments as long as I did not commit corruption or play pranks.
As a result, fixed costs are high.
Even if you are caught as a fraudulent gambling person, you will not spend this much money.
What has emerged at this time is the black market.
What if I gulp that down?
Will the black market owner have a grudge against me because of this?
There was nothing to worry about.
There are already many enemies. Nothing changes even if there are more enemies.
So I decided.
I decided to find the saint’s jewels.
“We eat the black market.”
Decided to expand the business.
Therefore, NS’s third business was decided to secure the black market.
