#Episode 91
The grades given by the system are not absolute. I can be sure of that. My sister, who had been thinking about my words, let out a deep sigh.
ha.
“… … Then there is one thing we must do first.”
That’s right. There is only one.
“I have to get my hands on the key or something. Before that guy called the Six Paths Sage.”
I don’t know who the right person is, but once we have the key, we can decide whoever it is and what they choose.
It is better to be an eternal perpetrator than an eternal victim.
That’s what choice is.
“Go and rest. I’ll take care of things here.”
My older sister chuckled at those words.
“What are you talking about? I’ll do the cleaning. You go and rest. And now I have to go to the press conference.”
“press conference?”
My sister looked around for a moment and then said to me.
“We need to handle the situation.”
My older sister paused for a moment, looked at the guy who was laughing hysterically, and then continued.
“We are currently investigating.”
“What?”
“Those who conspired with the apostles.”
I looked at my sister for a moment.
“I realized this after seeing what you did in South America a while ago. To be honest, it’s true that up until now we’ve been relying solely on your memories and intuition when chasing the apostles.”
I didn’t say anything because it was true. I had nothing to add. It was just a fact.
“We need to change our methods. Even if the Apostles are extraterrestrial beings, they definitely exist in this world. In order to exist, they need food, clothing, and a place to live. We’re raiding the accounts and personal information of those related to the Apostles.”
“Isn’t that too broad?”
“Don’t worry, I already have a few.”
I was a little impressed. Well, it’s true that he earns that much money and has that much influence not only in Korea but also in the world.
The older sister continues speaking.
“So go and rest. The chief secretary will call you.”
I laughed.
“thank you.”
“Thank you, but it’s my little brother’s business so I should help.”

A whole 15 days out of the 30-day break granted by the system have passed.
A lot has happened in 15 days.
Li Kang, a Chinese native Awakener known as the world’s greatest Awakener, and Kaoru Hashimoto, known as the Japanese Wind God, have gone missing.
Before the shock had even subsided, a new unique Awoken was born in China and Japan, as well as in the Netherlands and even in distant Greenland.
To sum up, two in the United States, and one each in Mexico, Japan, China, the Netherlands, and Greenland.
In this way, a total of 7 new unique Awakeners appeared.
It may seem strange, but in the current world situation, the presence of unique awakeners signifies the power of a nation.
The United States, which now possesses as many as three unique Awakened individuals, is still called the world’s most powerful country, both before and after the cataclysm, followed by South Korea.
Jinsongi has become the strongest unique awakener in the world in name and reality, and with Mexico’s unique awakener under Jinsongi’s command, this statement is certainly not wrong.
And now, in the midst of all this chaos, there was a man being interviewed.
“Recently, two unique Awakened individuals have gone missing. Li Kang from China and Kaoru Hashimoto from Japan. Do you know anything about this?”
The man who was asked the question answered with his characteristically soft smile.
“To sum it up, I have absolutely no idea.”
“Aren’t you worried?”
The man I was interviewing, Santiago Munez, the president of the World Awakened Society with a stylish white beard, answered with a gentle smile still on his face.
“Those two people are people I personally trust very much. They are heroes of the world. I think they must have unexpectedly gained enlightenment during the break given by the system and are currently practicing in seclusion.”
Santiago Munez’s expression cracked slightly, but none of the reporters or cameramen present noticed.
But when asked the question that followed, the president’s expression hardened. He couldn’t hide it. It was understandable.
“Do you happen to know Mr. Jin Shi-hoo?”
Because the name of that son of a bitch came out, I wouldn’t feel satisfied even if I tore him to pieces right away.
Santiago Munez knew all too well what had happened to Lee Kang and Hashimoto Kaoru, as mentioned earlier.
Both men died.
After Qin Shi, by the hands of that abandoned cub.
I answered with a forced smile.
“I know. He’s the younger brother of Jin Song-i, a hero of the Republic of Korea. There’s no way I wouldn’t know him, the writer who draws another world with his pen.”
Santiago Munez, who had a soft smile on his lips again, couldn’t hide his expression at the question that followed.
This was more than the previous question.
“The novel ‘Titan’ recently published by Mr. Jin Shi-hoo is gaining immense popularity worldwide. However, there is a very interesting part in this novel. Based on the content of Volume 3, a man named ‘Santiago Munez’ appears. His name is the same as the president of the association. Do you think Mr. Jin Shi-hoo uses that name with the president’s consent?”
“Hehehe… … Well, I’m not sure about that. My name is in the novel? It’s an honor. I personally hope the novel does well… … .”
“The novel Titan is about 200 people who were living on Earth and then went to another world to live there. However, recently, there have been victims of disappearances and murders around the world who have names that match the Earthlings in Titan. There are a lot of them. Among them is Li Gang, a Chinese native Awakener, and in a slightly different case, there is also Zenichiro Hashimoto, the older brother of Kaoru Hashimoto, a Japanese native Awakener. What do you think the president thinks about all of this?”
“… … .”
“Chairman?”
“That’s interesting. Keep going.”
The reporter was experienced. He continued speaking with a puzzled smile.
“There was a survey that said that these factors were probably reflected in the reason why the novel Titans is so popular. It’s great for marketing because the names of the characters in the novel are the same as those who recently died. But the problem is that all of those characters are real people who die. It’s as if someone is looking for them one by one and killing them.”
“… … .”

“So I was curious about your opinion, Mr. Chairman. How on earth will this novel end? The novel is released in installments, and at the beginning and end of each installment, this sentence always appears: ‘All of this is true.’ Mr. Chairman, please tell us now.”
“What on earth do you want to hear?”
The reporter sighed and put the microphone down. And the words coming out of the reporter’s mouth were amazing.
“You are an apostle.”
“… … .”
“I didn’t know this before, but the blood of the apostles is no joke. Just eat it and you’ll be full of energy, your muscles will grow faster, and of course, you’ll also become more agile.”
The reporter crossed her legs. She was wearing black stockings and her heels were tapping.
“You thought you’d get away with messing with Freemasons?”
Santiago Munez had actually noticed this from the beginning. This reporter was a Freemason vampire.
Long ago, the first apostle, Asura, led the other apostles and made a pact with the Underworld.
The most important of these agreements was the pact of non-aggression, but surely that couldn’t be all there was to it.
One of them.
The World Awakening Association is governed by the Apostles. This is what is included in the agreement.
Up until now, the Apostles have been aware of the movements of all the Awakened beings in the world while belonging to the World Awakened Association, and have been using the Gate Meter to determine the location of the Gate.
Of course, he also kept the condition that the Underworld had set, which was that any gates in the deep sea or places unreachable by human hands must be reported to the Underworld immediately.
But the balance was broken.
The apostles have already moved. The agreement has been broken.
The association president’s expression turns cold.
“You’re just a swindler who’s only a master, and you want to die here? What makes you climb up like this?”
The reporter did not answer.
Suddenly, the door opens.
“What do you believe in? Trust me.”
The president’s face hardened like a plaster statue. He knew who the woman was who opened the door and came in.
There is no way to know. There is no one among the apostles who does not know who that woman is.
Helena Royal Myers, National Director of Freemasonry.
At that moment, the reporter and cameraman who were interviewing her stood up and bowed their heads politely toward Helena.
“Director, are you here?”
“Yeah, I’m here.”
Helena walks over with a smile. She comes up next to the reporter and puts her hand on her shoulder.
“I guess I should introduce myself again. This is Madeline Rhodes, who has been our new vice president since the day before yesterday. The cameraman over there is the head of the Masonic office team, Taylor Adams.”
Santiago Munez said nothing. He just looked at Helena and the two vampires with his cold eyes. Helena burst out laughing.
“Relax your eyes. They’ll burst.”
“… … So, what are you doing now?”
“Are you really asking because you don’t know, or are you asking even though you do know?”
Helena walks in front of the president who has no answer. She bends down as if trying to get to eye level with him who is sitting in front of her. They look into each other’s eyes. Helena can read the president’s thoughts from his eyes.
“Are you thinking that since Switzerland is part of Europe, Freemasons shouldn’t be involved or something like that?”
“Good job.”
“Wow, this kid is a total hitter. Can’t you grasp the situation right now?”
The president of the association was clearly not an idiot.
“I think the one who doesn’t understand is the director, you four years old.”
“Why do you think so?”
“I am an apostle. It is an undeniable fact. But there are few apostles who remain neutral. I do not follow the orders of ‘Him’ among the apostles, nor do I listen to the orders of the elders.”
At this point, Helena burst out laughing. She laughed so hard that spittle flew out of the president’s face.
“This kid knows who the idiot is. Hey, there’s something called CCTV here on Earth.”
“Do you think I don’t know that?”
“Yeah, I don’t think you know.”
“What does it mean?”
“Nothing much, three of the Freemasons collapsed a while ago. But there was something interesting on one of them. Do you want to take a look? You’ll be surprised.”
Helena immediately started playing a video on the watch she was holding on her wrist.
