#Episode 98
Jin Shihou became a little curious.
“Why?”
“As I said before, Yoo Ha is a man like an unbreakable sword. The world is small. Jin Shi Hou and Yoo Ha will definitely meet someday, but no one knows what will happen in the future. In that case, I think it would be ideal for them to meet when their ‘directions’ are the same, like now.”
“Is that so?”
“If you’d like, I can make room for you.”
“how?”
“I will go to Asia myself.”
Jin Shihou shrugged his shoulders.
“Do whatever you want. I’m sure you’ll figure it out.”
Although he didn’t say anything, Jin Shi-hoo and Lazarus were currently in England.
“Today? El Clásico.”
Lazarus said with a smile.
“Yes, that’s right. The Champions League final. Real Madrid, the winners of La Liga, and Barcelona, the runners-up. It’s at Wembley in London.”
“Tickets?”
Lazarus took out a small ticket from his bosom as if he had already prepared it.
“This is the royal seat. You can go and enjoy yourself.”
“thank you.”
I repeat, Jin Shihou had a very favorable view of Lazarus.
He is good at his job and has a quick wit.
“Oh, and.”
Lazarus gestured to a woman nearby. She approached. She was dressed in a suit, but she was wearing pants instead of a skirt. Her shoes were also flats, but a quick glance showed that they were coated with something like alloy.
“I’m your secretary and bodyguard. I can speak eight languages, so it’ll be convenient for you in many ways.”
Let me emphasize this one more time.
Lazarus is both good at his job and quick-witted.
“Then have a good time.”
Lazarus boarded the plane to China, and Jin Shihu headed to Wembley.

Jin Shihou was on a non-holiday vacation in England.
This is correct from the beginning.
Ten years after the cataclysm, the world has become harsh and people live always worrying about survival.
The 30-day break granted by the Gate was a chance for them to briefly return to the peaceful life they had before the cataclysm.
There were a lot of people who enjoyed their vacation like Jin Shi-hoo.
No matter what happens in the Underworld, or even if the apostles in America and Europe are all dying right now, people don’t even care. They don’t even know of its existence in the first place.
Neither Jin Shi-hu nor Jin Song-yi spread the existence of the apostles to the world.
If possible, hide it.
People have noticed that the names of those who appear in the novel Titan and those who are dying now are almost the same, but that doesn’t mean they noticed the existence of the Apostles.
It was simple.
There is a cliché in old martial arts novels that the government and the martial arts world are inviolable.
It’s similar to that.
What happens behind the scenes and what happens on the regular are completely separate.
What happens in the Underworld is discussed among those in the Underworld, and what happens outside the Underworld is discussed among others.
Top institutions in each country coordinate them.
Whatever the apostles do, their work is treated as being on the same level as the work they do in the Underworld. So, if possible, rather than looking into it in detail, they bury it and ignore it.
That’s the world today.
You could say that it was a way of adapting to make an already harsh world a little less harsh.
Now, during this break, there was a woman who was busier than usual.
Jin Song-i is the only Awakened person in the Republic of Korea, and is said to be the strongest Awakened person among all Awakened people currently in the world.
Jinsong-i had never been this busy in recent times.
I was originally a person who was short on time, but this was different.
They were following the apostles. After all, they are living beings, and they need food, a place to sleep, and clothes.
This is definitely a must.
When the apostles were disguising themselves as other people, what would their behavior have been like?
The word ordinary did not fit.
They sliced steaks in the morning, drank wine, and went out to eat exotic foods from various countries for lunch and dinner.
The owner of a café on the outskirts of the city drove a car that cost 500 million won, and he always lived in a hotel suite, a luxury apartment in Seoul famous for its great view, or a luxury villa.
I lived in a place like this.
Anyone can see that this is not normal.
Where on earth did all that money come from?
There were countless people who were swept away by the gate and died. The state paid them compensation as welfare, but the compensation was not that large.
It was simple.
After the apostles descended to Earth, the first thing they did was to clean up their surroundings, and the second thing they did was to find the ‘water maker’.
I didn’t mention it so much that I just passed it by naturally, but Kim Min-jae, a certified real estate agent who lived in Gimcheon Innovation City, was driving a car worth a whopping 800 million won and had been staying in a suite at the Libera Hotel, famous for being the best hotel in the area, for a whopping 4 years.
Jeong Seong-il was the same. He was relatively modest. He drove the same car that Jin Shi-hoo was driving.
The price alone was 250 million won, and these guys in Busan, Ma Jin-no, Jeong Ho-nam, and Lim Gyeong-tae, drove around in Lamborghinis of the same year and model, but in different colors, as if they had matched the price.
Who gave them this money?
Who was the reason that they could spend that much money so cleanly?
Jinsong pressed down on a photo on the table with her index finger.

“… … It was this guy. Dr. Woo.”
“Yes, he is a person that almost everyone knows about in the stock market. He is a dishwashing expert and his assets are worth hundreds of billions of won.”
“Only public property?”
“Yes, including the hidden funds, it is well over a trillion won. This person is the ‘chief executive of Asia.’”
Why did you mention the Korean apostles who left a long time ago?
It was simple.
Because the person who looked after them was the man who looked after all the apostles in Asia.
It’s a common denominator.
If we catch this man, we will at least know the locations of all the apostles in Asia.
That was when.
“That’s useless.”
Jinsong turned her head at the sudden voice. There was a man with his limbs tied up. Normally, he would have been a middle-aged man with a white beard and white hair, but there was no such person here right now.
His hair was all disheveled, his face was torn, and blood was pouring out of his body.
And there was a woman who brought a chair next to him, crossed her legs, and admired the man’s appearance.
Helena Myers. She slapped the former president of the association, Santiago Munez, in the face with her palm.
Paaaak-!
“Ouch.”
“Who wants to open their mouth? Mr. Swap.”
Jin Song-i, who was looking at the two people, stood up from her seat.
Then he walked up to Santiago Munez and asked him:
“Why is it useless?”
“Because our apostles are not fools either.”
In this part, Jin Song-i, Helena, and Yoon Young-soo looked at each other for a moment.
Frankly, these three people thought the apostles were fools.
Otherwise, there would be a being with a clear purpose and the power to achieve that purpose who just drives a supercar and lives in a nice apartment.
It’s not enough to say that he was stupid, since he was doing things like that.
It was just pathetic.
Santiago Munez noticed that gaze and was momentarily speechless.
But still, I had to say what I had to say.
“The apostles will hide.”
“So?”
“They will hide in the invisible world. Also, you vampires and werewolves are mortal enemies. The vampire factory in California may have been attacked by now. The apostles will cut off their tails long ago and join hands with Yuha of Cheonwicheon. Yes, that means there will be a war between you and the werewolves.”
Jin Song-i and Yoon Young-soo flinched for a moment. They thought it made sense.
But it wasn’t Helena, the person involved.
Helena bursts into laughter.
She found this situation genuinely funny right now.
“This is driving me crazy, seriously… … . You guys really don’t know anything?”
Rather, Santiago Munez frowned as if he was displeased with Helena’s attitude. What the heck.
“What do you not know?”
“It’s true that vampires and werewolves are enemies. But don’t get confused. They just became enemies because of the differences in races, the fight for territory, and the fight for power.”
“… … .”
“You think it’s like the movie Underworld, right?”
“… … .”
“If you think that werewolves were originally created by us vampires, then… … you’re going crazy. What the hell have you been doing on Earth?”
Helena sighed. She was truly bewildered by the situation.
And her sigh also contained the thought, ‘We’ve been at a truce with these kinds of people all this time,’ said Helena.
“Yuha from Cheonwicheon is a different man than you think.”
“… … What’s the difference?”
“Looking at the plot, there must be an apostle who wants to ask Yuha for cooperation, and that apostle is going to attack the Freemason factory in California. I can guarantee you that Yuha won’t move for something like that.”
“… … .”
“If you Asuras didn’t like Yuha, he would have caused a ruckus on that day of the ceasefire.”
Perhaps the person who knows Yuha best in this place is Helena.
“Shall we have a serious discussion? How much power do you think Yuha has?”
“… … It is judged to have powers similar to those of the 7th or 8th apostle.”
Phew, I burst out laughing.
“Only the 7th time? This is driving me crazy. If Yuha were alone, he could probably take on Asura.”
“Don’t be so funny.”
“Why is this funny? When your apostles descended to Earth, even then, Yu Ha was strong, but he was only able to destroy one elder or so. But not now. I had my doubts since he was caught on CCTV. He was seriously stupid, wasn’t he?”
“… … .”
“Oh, I wasn’t going to make this long, but it got longer because of you. I got hit again.”
Paaaak-!
Helena, who had just slapped Santiago Munez in the face, continued speaking.
“Things will get easier, Jinsong.”
“yes.”
“Let’s go to China with the best.”
“Why?”
“It must be a total mess there right now.”
That was when.
Woof woof, woof woof.
A crazy vibration came from somewhere. It was Yoon Young-soo’s watch.
Yoon Young-soo turned on his watch and checked the contents, then said with a serious expression.
“… … They say a ‘werewolf’ has just appeared in China.”
“okay?”
“Yes. Those werewolves are fighting against beings with horns on their foreheads, huge wings on their backs, and bodies much larger than those of humans… … I think what Helena said is right.”
