#Episode 51
Chapter 1
The unexpected happens when you least expect it.
Lee Seong-jae felt it. He didn’t know Jin Song-i would act like this.
The president died suddenly of a heart attack a while ago.
The autopsy results also showed cardiac arrest.
But Lee Seong-jae is not a fool, so there is no way he wouldn’t know.
The president was murdered. I don’t know if it was Yoon Young-soo, Hong Hyun, or Yoon Ji-hoo. It would have been okay to lump them all together and assume that they were murdered by Jin Song-i.
Everyone who knows knows.
All the research results were manipulated.
The vice ministers that Lee Sung-jae had used his influence to install are now all resigning and leaving their positions. The same goes for prosecutors, police officers, and even soldiers, who are all running away.
This is really unexpected.
I never imagined it would move so quickly and so swiftly.
In just a few days, South Korea has changed to the point where it was like the whole world was turned upside down. Of course, the general public doesn’t know this. Only those in power know.
These days, there are a ton of people clinging to Jin Song-i to get in line.
Conquerors? They don’t care anymore.
‘… … Those little bastards… … .’
Something had to be done.
Other than that, the current Prime Minister and Acting President has declared that all future S-class or higher gates coming out of South Korea will be given priority to the ‘Salvation Guild’.
This brat who isn’t even the official president is acting like he’s the next president.
The problem is that the majority of the National Assembly agreed to it.
There were 3 votes against, 3 abstentions, and over 200 others in favor.
That’s how the Gate Special Act was revised. Just for the sake of Jin Song-i of the Republic of Korea.
This can’t go on like this. If this continues, the Conqueror’s Guild will no longer be the Conqueror’s Guild.
It will just be a common guild.
That was when.
Someone knocked on the office of Conqueror’s Guild’s Lee Seong-jae.
dripping.
It’s a regular sound. I thought it was the guild master, but it wasn’t.
The presence and the sound of breathing are completely different.
Soon, Lee Seong-jae could tell who it was.
“Come in.”
The door opens. A man who looks to be in his early twenties comes in. Lee Seong-jae’s eyebrows furrow slightly. It’s not that he doesn’t recognize who it is. He’s just curious as to why he’s here.
That makes sense, because the man who entered was Lee Jun-hyun, the third son of Lee Seong-jae and an S+-class Awakener from South Korea.
“What brings you here?”
“I have come to tell you something, Father.”
I felt annoyed for a moment.
“If you’re going to talk nonsense like asking for support, get out.”
“Support is right, but I think my father would also be happy to accept it. If he saw this.”
I don’t know what you want me to see.
“Currently, the Conqueror’s Guild, as well as all the guilds in South Korea, are in danger. Father, I am not an idiot. And this thing I have in my hands right now is the way to overcome the current situation. If you don’t see it, you will definitely regret it.”
If he was going to say something like that, it would have been stranger not to see it. Lee Seongjae gestured for him to bring it.
Lee Jun-hyun approached Lee Seong-jae and showed him the hologram function of the watch he was holding.
It was a video.
In the video, a man was seen entering a building.
At this point, Lee Seong-jae frowned.
Is this the way to turn things around?
He tried to scold his son, asking if he was wasting his father’s time with such useless things.
But the next scene left me gasping for breath.
It was not normal.
“… … No way this guy… … .”
“That’s right, father. I’m Jin Shi-hoo. Jin Song-yi’s younger brother.”
That Jin Shihou, that third-rate writer known as the unawakened Jin Shihou, was now killing people like crazy.
He swung his feet, causing heads to burst, stabbing the heads of those hiding in the walls with his sword, swinging his fists and feet, and even throwing his sword.
Anyone can see that he is definitely not an unawakened person.
Even among those who are dying now.
“There are two S+-rank Awakened. The man who just got blown up by Jin Shihou’s fist is an S+-rank Awakened. The man lying over there is also an S+-rank Awakened. The man over there is an A+-rank. The men Jin Shihou is beating to death right now are all Awakened.”
And finally, he killed Jeong Gil-tae.
Not long ago, he heard the news that the guild run by his son had completely collapsed. However, Lee Seong-jae did not know the specific reason.
Actually, I wasn’t interested.
Anyway, it’s a guild that operates in the underworld. And it’s also my son’s guild.
Then the son should be the one to solve the problem. That was Lee Seong-jae’s parenting style.
And now that he has finished watching the video, Lee Seong-jae can’t help but laugh.
Lee Jun-hyun also laughed.
“I told you, it would be a solution.”
“… … Yes, it’s been a while since you did something helpful.”
I’m sure this video will help.
What would happen if we released this video into the world?

Public opinion that favors Jin Song-yi will die down. And Jin Song-yi will be in an awkward position.
It’s a happy worry.
How should I use this video?
Then something occurred to me.
In the video, Jin Shi-hoo wrote something on the table after cleaning up the entire King’s Guild.
Lee Seong-jae couldn’t see it properly because it wasn’t visible in the video. But it couldn’t be his son.
“What did that guy write there?”
Lee Jun-hyun hesitated for a moment at that question, but that was it. How could he disobey his father’s words?
Lee Jun-hyun said.
“It said, ‘Don’t bother me. Before I kill you all.’”
“He was crazy.”
“Yes, he is crazy.”
But could it be an illusion?
I had a feeling that I had seen Jin Shi-hoo in the video somewhere.
I shook my head. That’s all for now.
Lee Seong-jae immediately picked up his watch.
Now is the time to counterattack.
Lee Seong-jae, who was about to send the video to Yoon Young-soo, paused for a moment. Before sending it to Yoon Young-soo, there was someone he wanted to send first.
* * *
Tiring.
The watch rang. Who is it? Is it the chief secretary?
I checked right away. I don’t know who the sender was, but the message was a video. There was just one video file.
“Is this how spam is done these days?”
I wonder what it is for no reason.
So I clicked on it once. I laughed. I watched the video till the end laughing.
“Brother? Are you feeling good?”
“Do you see it?”
“Yes, it’s nice to see you smiling like that after such a long time.”
Jeongbin, who had finished today’s work, stood up from his seat and headed toward the refrigerator.
“How about some orange juice?”
“Not bad. Please.”
Jeongbin headed to the kitchen to get some juice, and I turned my gaze back to my watch.
Just then, a message arrived.
[You cheeky brat, you must have had a hard time hiding your strength all this time.]
[who?]
[This is Lee Seong-jae.]
I recalled my memories for a moment. Lee Seong-jae… … I’ve heard of him before.
ah.
It seems that the master of that conqueror’s guild used the name Lee Seong-jae.
What do you mean by SSS-class awakener?
[I heard that all the CCTV footage was deleted, how did you get it?]
[Did you get it? You spoke too little.]
I sat still for a moment, drinking the juice that Jeongbin handed me.
Hmm.
[I won’t speak for long. Let me see your face. Come to the main building of the Conqueror’s Guild.]
[Can you handle it?]
[That’s what I’m going to say. If you don’t want the video to spread, get out of here right now.]
I was genuinely curious.
[I left a message on the desk there, did you see it?]
[You’re making a fuss. I’ll give you 30 minutes. Come back within 30 minutes. Get on your knees first. Jinsong will take care of everything anyway, but I’ll end your personal responsibility at that level.]
There’s nothing we can do about it.
Jeongbin asks as he stands up from his seat.
“Brother, are you going out?”
“Oh, I suddenly have a place to stop by.”
The novel side was going well enough.
So I changed into my training clothes and left the hotel.
The chief secretary’s method failed.
Now it’s time to do it my way.
* * *
Everything was going smoothly.
Jin Song-i purchased a house and a building in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul.
The Salvation Guild 2nd Group previously operated by Yoon Young-soo was absorbed into the Salvation Guild.
Jin Song-i was still the master of the Salvation Guild, and Yoon Young-soo was still the chief secretary.
All S-class or higher gates in South Korea now have priority for clearing by the Salvation Guild.
There was nothing to talk about at length.
The current acting president, the next president, the prime minister, the heads and vice-ministers of major government departments, the army, navy, air force, the National Assembly, the opposition party, and the ruling party.
The majority of them are currently bowing their heads to the Salvation Guild.
The members of the National Assembly still have time left in their terms, and there are also several ministers and vice ministers who still have time left in their terms.
The military was at ease because they had recently replaced everyone from the Army Chief of Staff down due to the Jin Shihou incident.
It’s a matter of time.
The Republic of Korea now belongs to the Salvation Guild.
To be exact, it belongs to Jin Song-i.
Jin Song-i became the king of the Republic of Korea.
And this is not the final destination.
Now it’s the beginning. It’s the beginning, but it seems like there were problems from the beginning.
The problem started with Yoon Young-soo’s watch.
It was a normal day. When I picked up my watch to start work, a video was sent to Yoon Young-soo.
As soon as he saw the video, Yoon Young-soo was embarrassed for the first time in a long time.
Because the video showed Jin Shihou massacring people.
‘… …Your Majesty’s Capital, no, Your Majesty’s Guild, that’s the video from back then.’
Yoon Young-soo is not a fool. When Jin Shi-hoo went to burn down the King’s Guild building, he sent one person.
It was obvious that Jin Shihou would act without thinking about the consequences, and the aftermath had to be dealt with in some way.
Of course, he couldn’t have predicted that Jin Shihou would kill everyone in the King’s Guild building. That would be something that Yun Yeong-su, no, an ordinary person, couldn’t even imagine.
The problem is that Jin Shihou killed them all.
First of all, we secured CCTV.
They blew everything away, starting with the backup server.
But why is this video being transmitted now? The original probably doesn’t even exist.
Tiring.
Another message arrived with that sound.
[How do you feel?]
Yoon Young-soo checked the number.
The number that sent the video is the same number that sent the message. And this number was one that Yoon Young-soo knew.
I called right away.
The beep cuts off. The other person picked up. Yoon Young-soo said.
“I should have warned you back then, but you were living like a dead rat.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice full of anger was heard from the other end.
-Hey you little shit! If you were me, would you listen to something like that and live like a dead rat? Huh?
“Lee Seong-jae, your liver is swollen.”
-The liver is swollen, this is the only one who is a class A!
“That A-class idiot warned you and you bowed your head as if you understood. It hasn’t even been a few days and you’ve already erased it from your memory?”
-… … Bow down? Is this kid crazy? When did I bow down?
“You said you couldn’t even touch Hong Hyun and Yoon Ji-hoo, who were leaving the building like mutts with their tails wagging, so isn’t that considered being humble?”
-This kid… … . Hey, I guess you still don’t understand the situation, but should I spread this video on the internet right now? Okay? If I spread this, it’ll spread all over the world in an instant. I still have that much power.
Yoon Young-soo took a moment to catch his breath.
-The source is good. That third-rate writer Jin Shi-hoo was actually an awakened person whose level couldn’t even be ‘measured’. He even went around killing countless people. I bet that the Republic of Korea will turn upside down in a day. What do you want to bet?
