#Episode 24
Iced Americano.
He smirked and took a sip.
“I have a question for you, so answer first. Do you know about the Happy Welfare Center?”
“……embrace.”
“Seong-il said that. He said that he had been donating to the welfare center, and that he was also from that welfare center, and that he wanted the children who came out of there to do well. So he said that he hired the children who came out of the welfare center as part-time workers, paying them more than the minimum wage. The size of the cafe is a bit different from what I heard.”
I took another sip. I asked the silent apostle.
“Nothing to say?”
“……does not exist.”
“Nope. I heard it was some kind of business failure. Did you invest in stocks? You even put up collateral. Electric bus prototype?”
“… … .”
“You throw 50,000 shares at $25 and throw them at a coin? This guy is not a good stock to invest in.”
Jeong Seong-il, who has no talent for stocks, frowns.
however.
“For people like you, making money is not even a job. You’re selling a building for that much. And I heard you were using five or six of the welfare center kids as part-time workers. Where did they all go?”
“You have a lot of questions.”
“Oh, I’m a talkative person. Answer me two questions. When did you stop donating to the Happy Welfare Center, and what happened to the kids who used to work there?”
“I’ll answer right away. Before that.”
“Before that?”
“You idiot. Do you really drink what the ‘enemy’ gives you?”
He lifted his coffee with a smile.
“this?”
“Yes. There’s poison in it. It’s so poisonous that it can even stun a dragon.”
He drank his coffee with a smiling face.
“Khuh, that feels refreshing.”
“……uh?”
“Did the kid get hit less? Shouldn’t he have gotten past the level of playing with poison when he’s not even a kid?”
“Uh… … How?”
He looked at the embarrassed apostle and asked again.
“I have two questions that I would like answered right away. Where are the children, and what happened to the welfare center’s donation?”
“… … The donations stopped after we moved the building, and the kids.”
“What about the kids?”
The guy laughs bitterly.
“I ate it all.”
I scratched my chin for a moment. Ouch.
“You ate. Was it delicious?”
“It was fantastic.”
That’s why it was like that.
“There’s no smell of coffee in this basement, but it smells like blood. Do you think they ate other people besides them? How many did they eat?”
“I don’t know. I’ve never counted them.”
This will do.
“Should I have a serious talk with you, hyung?”
“… … You crazy guy. This is the city center. There are a lot of people watching… … .”
Before he could finish speaking, I reached out my hand. I caught his hair in my hand. After that.
I stepped on the platform. The space folded. The apostle and I were instantly transported to the ‘subway’. There was a gate right in front of us.
Without hesitation, I grabbed the bastard by the hair and went inside.
The surrounding scenery changes.
My feet hit the ground. The sound of my feet stepping on the sand echoed.
What this gate is, what type it is, and what information it holds.
Sorry to say, but I wasn’t interested at all.
“You can give it your all.”
I’m not going to do that though.
The guy looks puzzled.
Towards that guy’s face.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!!
He brought his fist down.
* * *
Team leader Cha Ju-yeon stood with a serious expression.
A thought suddenly comes to mind.
The process of establishing the Salvation Guild.
Originally, Jin Song-i was going to bury the bones in the gate structure.
That is a clear fact.
Using the power you have, you can save and help those who are caught in the gate.
That’s what Jinsong wants to do. In the process, the world gradually begins to change.
The power of the government is weakening and the power of the Awakened is growing stronger.
The World Awakening Association is currently the most powerful organization in the world. Jinsong has correctly captured the starting point of all these changes.
If we continued to stay in the gate structure, we would not only not make progress, but we would also be swayed by the empty talk of idiotic politicians and would certainly be mobilized for all sorts of political work.
So I came out.

And during that time, the number of people Jin Song-i saved exceeds tens or hundreds of thousands, regardless of nationality.
Of course, there are awakened ones among them.
Those who follow Jinsongi and consider her a benefactor, they become the axis of the Salvation Guild.
As I said before, the number of people Jin Song-i has saved while traveling around the world is in the tens or hundreds of thousands. Among them are lawyers, accountants, and tax accountants. There are also conglomerates and politicians.
Jinsong received help from all of them.
This is the background to the rapid growth of the Salvation Guild.
Team leader Cha Ju-yeon is one of the founding members of the Salvation Guild.
She, who leads one of the four strike teams that can be said to be the core of the Salvation Guild, could not understand the current situation.
It wasn’t just her.
The same was true for Lim Won-seok, the deputy leader of Team 4.
“… … I really don’t know, so I’m asking, but was the Master’s younger brother originally an Awakened one?”
Cha Ju-yeon shook her head at Lim Won-seok’s question.
“I don’t know either.”
“How do you not know? If Team Leader Cha doesn’t know, who does?”
“So you don’t know, Inma?”
That’s right. I really didn’t know.
No, I originally thought he was a non-awakened person. Since he was a non-awakened person, he must be a genre novel writer.
Not only that, but since he is not an awakened person, he probably got a zero grade in the awakened person grade test.
But what is this situation?
“Just now, those footprints, aren’t they Mr. Jin Shi-hoo’s? I think I just saw him enter the gate.”
I saw it.
What you saw was right.
And at this moment, Cha Ju-yeon was recalling what Chief Secretary Yoon Young-soo had said.
‘I’m asking you this because you’re Team Leader Cha. Forget everything you’ve seen and heard. Don’t interfere with what Jin Shi-hoo is trying to do, and just watch. Team 4’s mission today is not to clear the B-class gate, but to prevent anyone from coming near the B-class gate. Stop them, no matter who they are. Even if the president comes, stop them. That’s all there is to it.’
I didn’t understand.
Like what happened in Pangyo before, and also Jin Shi-hoo bringing ‘someone’ inside the gate just now.
No, that wasn’t all.
It is known that Jin Shi-hoo is currently hospitalized at Samjeong Hospital in Seoul.
But now, it’s right inside there.
Why on earth do they do this?
“… … Will the Master tell you?”
“I will do it. A Master is a Master.”
I had my doubts, but that was it.
Cha Joo-yeon trusts Jin Song-yi. She is the greatest benefactor, and if she tells her to die, she can die.
Any questions for a moment? No problem. I’ll tell you eventually anyway.
“Control the perimeter. Make sure no one comes in. Oh, and by the way, did you turn off your watches?”
“Yes, I turned it off.”
“Check again. Turn off all watches.”
At her words, everyone checked their watches and confirmed that they were turned off. Naturally, they also changed the direction of all the nearby CCTVs.
“What happened here today, I’ll take with me to my grave. Okay?”
“Yes, team leader.”
This is enough.
Cha Ju-yeon quietly looked at the gate.
Inside, what on earth is going on?
* * *
He just stretched out his hand.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!!
Something flying towards me was blocked by my hand. A halo of light bounced off the back of my hand. Suddenly, I became curious.
“Which number are you?”
“… … This is the 197th.”
“It’s just leftovers.”
The 197th Apostle’s eyebrows furrow. The ridges on his forehead are clearly tendons.
He kicked his seat. He laughed and threw his head back.
Phew-!
The bastard’s fist passes right in front of my nose.
“Are the bodies of your apostles always like that?”
“… … You have a lot to wonder about. You’re going to die soon.”
“I don’t think so. What’s the answer?”
He swung his foot. He took a step back. This time, it brushed past his nose. He shouted.
“Find out what you can!”
The foot of the guy who had passed by changed direction in the air. It was like a Brazilian kick, and it was heading straight for the side of my head. I extended my left hand.
Ugh.
The legs are caught. So easily.
“… … This… … monster bastard.”
“With that face, who would call you a monster?”
I just put strength into my left hand.
Bam.
The bastard’s legs were crushed. He didn’t even scream. He was just thrown to the ground.
Kwaaang-!
A huge crater was created. I squatted down.
“You won’t be killed easily. I have two questions. First, the purpose of your apostles. Second, the reason why you sent me and others to Titan. Tell me.”
“… … .”
“Tell me just one of the two and I’ll kill you easily. I’m serious.”
The guy smiled wickedly.
“Are you that curious about that?”
“I wasn’t really interested, but I can’t do nothing since the position has been prepared. Let’s just say I’m curious. So what’s the answer?”
“If you don’t answer, I’ll torture you.”
“You’re quick-witted. If you had that much insight, you could have just run away.”
“… … Torture would be meaningless.”
“why?”
“Because there is a ban. Just kill him. And if the likes of you, the highest-ranking apostles, come forward, you will turn to dust on the spot.”
I listened to the bastard’s words with a smile.
“You will scream in agony and regret living. No, you will regret breathing at all. You will die filled with regret. You will beg to be spared and your corpse will be placed on the tower of humanity built with blood.”
This time, I listened silently. That’s why I started to get things one by one. The Tower of Humanity? The highest level apostle?
“You idiots who don’t even understand ‘His’ grand intentions, you’d be better off just dying… … No, no… … . If the people of the world learn of His grand intentions, they’ll turn on you. Humanity will become your enemy. Irregular! You’re acting foolishly right now. You should be cooperating with us instead of pointing your sword at us. You’re on the wrong path right now.”
“Keep going.”
“No, there’s no need to continue. I’ve said everything I wanted to say.”
Suddenly an interesting thought occurred to me.
“I have become very interested in your great cause. I have an infinite respect for you, and I really want to meet that ‘person’ once. Could you please arrange a meeting?”
“‘He’ is now… … This kid, is he kidding me right now?”
“Why? I could be sincere. If we face each other and talk, and then we fight, wouldn’t we be able to become friends? I haven’t been here long, so I don’t have many friends.”
“… … What on earth are you talking about now?”
“Listen, don’t you know the pain of having to drag your heavy body out when you want to eat bread? How convenient it would be if you had a friend called ‘that person’ at times like this. If you tell him to buy bread, he’ll buy pizza bread and small bread on his own. I’m going to use that person like that, don’t you think that’s okay?”
As soon as I finished speaking, light began to burst out from the bastard’s body.
I just sat there crouching and watched.
I raised my head. The guy who had been lying underneath me had moved far, far away.
Light gathers on his body.
I let out a sigh.
“Hey kid, I thought you were blind, but I guess it’s not that bad.”
I stood up from my seat.
There is little information obtained.
There is a guy called Him and the apostles think that what they are doing is of noble purpose.
The Tower of Humanity and all, it was nonsense, but I was a little interested. I didn’t expect much from this little guy, but it was unexpected. First, I raised the Baekryeongi.
