< One suggestion >
When the elder arrived at the conference room – a little late as he had dropped the kids and Abraxas off in their rooms – there was a heavy atmosphere in the room.
‘It looks like it’s already started.’
The man glanced around the conference room.
At the head of the conference room sat the superhumans of the Superhuman Association, on the left sat Baek Chang-soo and the executives of the White House Guild, and on the right sat the accusers of this incident.
The accusers were superhumans from White House Team 6.
“···Nine superhumans from the White House Guild have reported Wang Gu-ho. The Superhuman Association has investigated this case for two days, and decided to hold a disciplinary committee meeting today to decide on the level of punishment for superhuman Wang Gu-ho.”
Min Tae-woong, who presided over the disciplinary committee meeting today, spoke in a businesslike tone. It seemed like the meeting had just begun.
‘All the big names have arrived.’
The man looked at the superhumans sitting side by side at the head of the conference room.
Iron Wall Min Tae Woong
Demon King Kim Tae-jin
There were two
When Daein saw the faces of the attendees, he was so dumbfounded that he couldn’t help but laugh.
‘All these people gathered in one place just because of a single assault incident? That’s a grand excuse.’
I heard a rough idea about the situation that has changed over the past few months from Baek Young-hee on my way here.
It was said that it had not even been a month since the previously ineffective Superhuman Association began to function properly.
After the first disaster,
And the person who was chosen as the new president of the Superhuman Association is,
“···Team Leader Lim. You’re here.”
Baek Chang-soo looked at the man with a dark face.
“Sir, I heard you became the president of the Superhuman Association?”
“···I really didn’t want to do it.”
It looked like that at first glance. It would be a position with no real power, only responsibility and restraint.
At that time, one of the superhumans from the association raised an objection.
“Is it okay for an outsider who is not related to the case to come into the meeting? I should have them leave…”
“I think it would be okay to just leave it.”
The person who defended the man was not Baek Chang-soo.
Kim Tae-jin, sitting with his arms crossed on one side of the table, looked at the master with one corner of his mouth raised.
“He is the team leader of the team that the perpetrator of the incident belongs to, so he is fully qualified to attend the meeting. And he can’t say that he is not responsible for this either.”
At the clearly felt hostility of his opponent, the man shrugged his shoulders.
“Thank you.”
After saying that and sitting down on the chair, no one told me to go out to the other person anymore.
“Ahem. Then let’s continue the meeting.”
Min Tae-woong opened his mouth, drawing the attention of the crowd to himself, distracted by his cough.
“First, let me summarize the incident. Three days ago, the superhuman Wang Gu-ho assaulted the superhuman Yong Dae-hoon, who was in the same guild, and turned him into a vegetable, and later seriously injured nine superhumans.”
Baek Young-hee, who brought a bunch of files, refuted the incident that was described so briefly.
“Wait a minute. The story of why this incident happened in the first place is completely missing.”
“Violence cannot be justified for any reason!”
The man sitting across from me shouted. He was the deputy leader of the WH-6 team, and his face still bore the marks of a blow.
The man who saw that face tilted his head and muttered.
“That’s really weird. Did the guild run out of potions? If you had just applied some to your face, it would have healed. Did you not treat it yet because you wanted to show me how much you got hit?”
It was just a small soliloquy, but no one in this conference room could not hear that level of noise.
“profit···!”
For a moment, the deputy manager’s face turned red, but instead of questioning him, he chose to ignore him and continue talking.
“We suffered great physical and mental pain from being assaulted by a colleague we trusted!”
The six superhumans on either side of him nodded their heads enthusiastically.
And a woman in her fifties sitting closer to the head table said:
“CEO Baek Chang-soo, my son has become a vegetable.”
The woman who had put luxury goods all over her body was the mother of Team 6 Leader Yong Dae-hoon. She glared at Baek Chang-soo with venomous eyes.
“I might never wake up again! You have children too, so you know how I feel, sir.”
Baek Chang-soo spoke with a guilty expression.
“Mother. I, too, am truly sorry about what happened to Team Leader Yong···.”
“Don’t just say sorry. How are you going to take responsibility for my son’s future?”
Somehow she seemed more worried about her own future than her son’s.
Another monologue came out of the man’s mouth.
“I guess your mother doesn’t know. When you join a guild, you have to sign a document stating that you are responsible for all accidents and deaths.”
Before Yong Dae-hoon’s mother could respond, Baek Chang-soo looked back at Dae-in with stern eyes.
“Team Leader Lim! Be careful what you say!”
Baek Young-hee also poked the man in the ribs. She whispered in his ear.
“Stop making a fuss. This is the time to take care of business!”
The man nodded dryly and said, “Yes, yes.”
The meeting continued like that.
The six teams that reported Wang Gu-ho criticized Wang Gu-ho, led by the vice-chairman, and Yong Dae-hoon’s mother criticized the guild with a cat-like expression.
‘Those guys who came from the Superhuman Association just watched and talked.’
The more I looked, the clearer their intentions became.
The deputy team leader of Team 6 said with a raised voice.

“Please expel Wang Gu-ho from the guild so that something like this never happens again! Also, please permanently revoke his superhuman qualifications from the association!”
“···Youngsik. Do you really have to go that far with your family?”
Baek Chang-soo bit his lips tightly as he faced him.
Before becoming the president of the Superhuman Association, who must be fair in all matters, Baek Chang-soo was the head of the White House Guild.
He cared for each and every one of the guild’s superhumans, regardless of their abilities. That’s why he never supported or blamed one side until now.
“Let’s drop the charges and resolve this amicably among ourselves···.”
However, Jang Young-sik avoided Baek Chang-soo’s gaze and spoke.
“I have no intention of staying in the guild after going through something like this. All six of us will be leaving the guild.”
“···what!”
In that moment, Baek Chang-soo’s expression hardened and incredible magical power burst out from his body.
-Kwakwakwakwakwa!
Baek Chang-soo’s huge presence filled the conference room in an instant. Dae-in clicked his tongue without realizing it.
‘This guy has gotten stronger, hasn’t he?’
I thought it would be worth a try if it was properly attached by now, but I thought it would be better for my health if it just didn’t stick.
“Baek Chang-soo!”
“Brother! Stop it!”
Kim Tae-jin and Min Tae-woong simultaneously raised their magical powers to suppress Baek Chang-soo’s momentum.
“···Sorry. I got a little excited.”
Jang Young-sik, who received the energy head-on, was trembling. Kim Tae-jin spoke with a distorted expression.
“Baek Chang-soo. In this case, you must keep in mind that the President of the Superhuman Association is a witness for the guild!”
Min Tae-woong also gave Baek Chang-soo a warning.
“Wang Gu-ho’s mistake is obvious. And this is something the Superhuman Association should handle. Please distinguish between public and private matters.”
The representatives of the other guilds also nodded, saying, “Right.” “Right.” It felt as if everyone was on the same side.
Baek Chang-soo sighed and nodded.
“···Okay.”
And the great man who watched the scene,
‘You guys. You came here with a lot of determination.’
The great man quietly looked at the superhumans sitting at the head of the table.
Demon King Kim Tae-jin.
Iron wall Min Tae-woong.
And representatives of various guilds active in Seoul.
Superhumans are the ones who die to monsters several times a day.
But, these people who are difficult to gather together even if you try to gather them together, are gathered in one place because of a single assault incident in a guild?
There was no way there could be some hidden agenda.
‘You guys? You instigated them?’
It was the six superhumans and Yong Dae-hoon’s mother who reported Wang Gu-ho and demanded punishment, but there were other people who were coordinating it behind the scenes.
Their trickery was plainly visible to the eyes of the great man.
‘The real target is not Wang Gu-ho, but the White House.’
These were all things I had experienced before.

Kim Tae-jin and Min Tae-woong exchanged glances as they watched the meeting unfold.
‘Things are going as planned.’
‘I think so.’
They didn’t meet separately to make specific plans, but their interests aligned from the beginning.
‘White House went too far alone.’
‘Appropriate restraint is needed.’
Until then, Black Hound had a clear advantage over White House in terms of scale, and Iron Wall Guild had a clear advantage over White House in terms of performance.
It was after the disaster that the tables were turned.
In
That alone was a huge gain, but the value of the loot that came from those two core gates was the highest.
To put it a bit exaggeratedly, the combined total from the other five core gates is worse than those two.
‘As if someone had deliberately assigned the best portion to the White House···.’
How much resentment must one have felt to have thought such absurd thoughts?
Besides, Whitehouse had been raking in money lately from his potion business. Money that was in the pockets of fellow superhumans.
Finally, a few days ago···.
“What the hell is this?”
The WH-7 team leader who opened the gate and came out said that he had been to the Gaia continent.
Money. Skills. Fame.
And the only guild with information from other dimensions.
It was natural that a sense of crisis crept up on the guild leaders.
‘If this continues, the gap will widen further.’
‘I can’t leave it alone any longer.’
‘We have to keep it in check somehow!’
It’s only one or two steps ahead now, but if left alone, Whitehouse will be dozens of steps ahead.
It was then that Wang Gu-ho’s assault incident became known.
”This is it!”
The guild leaders who had caught the dog were united in one mind and one purpose.
The first one to approach the WH-6 team’s superhumans was Kim Tae-jin.
‘You guys. Wouldn’t you like to sign a contract with us for double the salary? But there’s one condition… You have to report Wang Gu-ho to the association.’
It was Min Tae-woong who worked to create public opinion by moving the Superhuman Association and to establish a disciplinary committee.
‘Superhumans are not lawbreakers. Rather, they must obey the law more than anyone else and be role models for the citizens. In particular, incidents of violence within the guild cannot be overlooked!’
As the two giants took the lead, representatives from other guilds also joined in.
That’s how this board was made.
It’s essentially White House vs. all the other guilds.
In this situation, there was nothing Baek Chang-soo could do.
Public opinion in the conference room increasingly turned against Wang Guo-ho and the White House Guild.
“Wang Guho’s superhuman qualifications must be revoked!”
“A promising superhuman has become a vegetable. The White House Guild cannot avoid moral responsibility either.”
Min Tae-woong pretended to cool down the heated atmosphere and proposed a mediation plan.
“How about expelling Wang Gu-ho from the guild and revoking his superhuman status for a year?”
Kim Tae-jin nodded as if he had been waiting and stepped forward.
“I think that’s about right. Permanent expulsion is a bit harsh.”
From then on, the atmosphere began to change little by little.
Wang Guho’s expulsion from the guild was a done deal, but the story about the period of time during which he would be stripped of his superhuman qualifications was drawn out.
Kim Tae-jin and Min Tae-woong exchanged brief glances.
‘I’ll take the king’s relief.’
‘Let’s give it a try.’
Neither of them had any intention of permanently stripping Wang Gu-ho of his superhuman qualifications. He had such talent. They planned to kick him out of White House first and then recruit him later.
A fierce battle behind the scenes would begin, but both were confident in recruiting Wang Gu-ho.
‘Wang Gu-ho was originally from our black hound family.’
‘Anyone who is a superhuman in the tank position would envy the iron wall.’
Dreaming of different dreams, the two men smiled faintly at each other.
It was then that the great man stepped forward.
“Let me make a suggestion.”
