Episode 46: Territory Battle (2)
46. Territory Struggle (2)
The conflict between the ‘Haeseon Guild’ and the ‘Jeongjin Guild’ dates back to a week ago.
-Aren’t you the Jeongjin Guild? What brings you here…
-Is there any other reason why a capable person would come to the dungeon to catch monsters?
-This is the Haeseon Guild area.
-So?
-What..? Eww!
The Jin Guild suddenly storms into the dungeon occupied by the Haeseon Guild.
They ignored the guild that tried to stop them and cleared the dungeon without any problems.
Naturally, Haeseon’s guild leader, Jo Seong-chan, who had lost his main source of income, went to the Jeongjin guild to protest.
-What are you doing all of a sudden?!
– Was it wrong to clear the dungeon?
-Why did you come to Haesun Guild’s territory instead of other dungeons?
-That’s my heart. If I have no strength, it’s natural for it to be taken away.
-what?!”
However, Hong Chae-yeon, the leader of Jeongjin’s guild, spoke confidently with an attitude of being the opposite of the enemy.
-If you don’t want to lose what little you have, it would be better to stay quiet from now on.
-This is different from the promise!
-Promises are only kept when they are worth keeping.
Although his anger was rising, Jo Seong-chan could do nothing.
This is because the Jeongjin Guild has grown at an incredible rate recently.
The gap between the two guilds, which were originally similar in strength, has now widened to the point where they are no longer comparable.
-Hey. Look over there. Some capable guys with no pride are passing by.
-Phuhuhu.
-Those kids!
-Hold on… Don’t you know that the guild leader has given orders?
The two guilds, with similar areas of activity, often encountered each other on the road, and each time, the Jeongjin guild would pick a fight with the Haeseon guild.
-Brother! Are you going to stay like this? Those guys are blatantly ignoring us!
-Then what are you going to do… Are you going to start a war? Do you want to see everyone die?
Despite the words of the guild leader, Jo Dong-won, Jo Seong-chan could only tell him to endure it.
As the situation continued to be so tense and on the verge of explosion, today’s incident finally happened.
-I can’t stand it anymore!
-What are you going to do if you can’t stand it?
-Ugh!
Finally, Jo Dong-won, the vice-leader of the Haeseon, aimed his weapon at the guild member who was trying to fix the ship.
6 members of the Haeseon Guild.
Five members of the Jeongjin Guild.
It was clearly a battle in which the Haesun Guild had the numerical advantage. However, contrary to expectations, the battle went one-sided.
“Ugh… Shit.”
The power of the Jeongjin Guild far exceeded the expectations of the Haeseon Guild.
In just a few minutes, all of the Haesun guild members collapsed on the floor.
“Whew!”
Woo Jin-hyung, the vice-leader of the Jeongjin Guild.
He who planned this incident spat on the floor and made a phone call to someone.
-Did you take care of it?
“Yes, Guild Master. Since we led them to attack first, there won’t be a problem.”
Woo Jin-hyung answered guild leader Hong Chae-yeon’s question confidently.
-Good job. Just step on him enough so he doesn’t die and then come back.
“yes.”
– Especially make sure to step on that guild leader named Jo Dong-won.
“Are you sure?”
-Yeah. So that people with abilities can’t do anything like that in the future.
“All right.”
Woojinhyung ended the call and called the guild members.
“Just break each leg one by one. I will personally take care of Jo Dong-won.”
“yes.”
“By the way, where is Im Soo-beom?”
During the battle, Im Su-beom was captured by Jo Dong-won and was blown away.
Lim Soo-beom flew dozens of meters because Jo Dong-won was a power user specializing in strength.
“How stupid of you to take that.”
However, since Im Su-beom’s skills were the best in the guild, Woo Jin-hyung didn’t worry too much.
“Guildmaster.”
“why?”
At that moment, a guild member suddenly approached and called Woojinhyung.
“Look, someone is coming.”
“what?”
When I looked at the place the guild member was pointing, I saw a group of people approaching me in a rough manner.
“What are those?”

They were dragging a man along the floor by the scruff of his neck.
“for a moment…”
The impression of the man cleaning the floor with his whole body was somehow familiar.
“Ugh…”
“Im Soo-beom..?”
It was definitely the guild member Im Su-beom who had flown away a little while ago.
Lim Su-beom, who was being dragged in like a piece of luggage, had bruises all over his body.
If Woojinhyung hadn’t known his clothes, he wouldn’t have been able to recognize him because of the swelling.
“What are you guys?!”
“…”
Despite Woojinhyung’s words, the guys only approached slowly.
“These kids… want to die?!”
**
“So you’re a member of the guild called Jeongjin or Jeongja, and you were fighting with another guild?”
“yes…”
Im Su-beom answered with difficulty, his whole body shaking at Kang Hyeon’s words.
“Aren’t they the ones who are fighting in the street in broad daylight? What are the police doing?”
“That… guild that has settled in the area has a lot of government officials, especially the police, supporting it… so it must have already been bought out.”
Kang Hyeon shook his head at Han Jae Moon’s explanation.
“This is a mess. I need to get an apology first. Let’s go.”
Kang Hyun grabbed Im Soo Beom by the back of his neck and started dragging him to the floor.
Soon the fallen men and those lynching them were seen.
“What are you guys?!”
“…”
“These kids… want to die?!”
Kang Hyun listened with a blank expression to Woo Jin Hyung’s question.
“Are you the vice-guild leader of a guild called Jeongja or something?”
“Yes. I am Woo Jin-hyung, the vice-leader of the Jeongjin Guild. Who are you?”
“I don’t know about that, but your guildmate here destroyed our van?”
“…”
“So, I think I should get some compensation as an apology.”
“what?”
“I bumped into him and my nose bled.”
Woojinhyung frowned deeply at Kanghyun’s words.
“What are you talking about now….”
“First of all, aside from the car repair costs, I need to collect 100 million won just for my coffee.”
Woojinhyung made a dumbfounded expression at the absurd statement.
‘What the hell are you talking about?!’
Even if it’s a repair cost, they’re asking for 100 million won for coffee.
In that case, the medical expenses for Lim Su-beom, who looks like a corpse, would have to be in the hundreds of billions of won.
“That guild leader…”
“why?”
Then a guild member whispered quietly.
“I think that guy is Kang Hyeon-in.”
“Kang Hyun..?”
“Yes. I think the guys behind are probably members of the Baddest Guild.
‘Is that the Baddest Guild..?’
Judging by their behavior, they were no different from Japanese biker gangs from a comic book.
I couldn’t believe that those people were the Baddest Guild who had listed them for the C-rank dungeon raid.
“Why are you just sitting there? I want medical expenses.”
Kang Hyun was already feeling very uncomfortable today.
It’s because Shin Sung-ah and An Yu-seong took turns causing stress.
‘But you even got a nosebleed because of a bunch of strangers?’
Besides, I couldn’t even eat beef.
I couldn’t feel better.
No, it wasn’t very good.
“Are you Kang Hyeon?”
“I’m Kang Hyeon.”
Woo Jin-hyung flinched as he met Kang Hyeon’s eyes.
“Chi, I’ll pay for the treatment, so don’t get involved and get out!”
Strangely, the more we talked, the more my body began to tremble.
It felt as if a giant monster was staring at me right in front of me.
However, Woojinhyung, who could not show weakness in front of his guild members, shouted confidently.
“200 million won for van repairs, 200 million won for my coffee. Give me a total of 400 million won.”
“Brother. I should also add 500 million won for the mental damage I felt.”
“Our guild leader says so. Then, all together, it comes to a neat 1 billion.”
Woojinhyung made a bewildered expression at Kanghyun’s words.
‘What kind of crazy kids are these?!’
They were guys who couldn’t communicate.
“A billion won for a van that was destroyed and a nosebleed? Are you kidding me?!”
In fact, the van only had a slightly dented door.
“1.1 billion.”
“What, what?!”
“For every time you say something, you get an additional 100 million.”
Woojinhyung’s patience eventually ran out due to his reckless attitude.
The fear that had gripped his body had long since been burned away by the rising anger.
“When I give you the signal, rush in at once. Kang-Hyeon will be the first to go.”
“But Guildmaster… That guy is a monster who can destroy a D-class dungeon by himself.”
“The media is blowing all that stuff out of proportion. And he’s letting his guard down right now.”
The guild members reluctantly nodded their heads at Woojinhyung’s whispered words.
“What are you doing? Are you going to give me the money or not?”
“Okay. 1.1 billion. Send it now.”
While speaking, Woojinhyung slowly approached Kanghyun.
“How are you going to pay me? Bank transfer?”
“But I don’t have any money right now. Instead, I’ll give you this.”
“What is this?”
“It’s a one-way ticket to hell!”
As soon as he answered, Woojinhyung swung his sword with all his might.
“uh..?”
But the sword was caught in Kang-Hyeon’s hand in vain.
‘What nonsense, holding a sword with bare hands…’
Kang Hyun, holding the blade in his hand, looked at Woo Jin-hyung with cold eyes.
“What are you doing?”
-Passsssss
As Kang Hyun put strength into his hand, the sword shattered in an instant and scattered across the floor.
Woojinhyung’s eyes shook as if there was an earthquake.
“That, that…”
I tried to say something urgently, but Kang Hyun just quietly raised his hand.
‘ah…’
A giant palm approaches.
It was a short moment, less than a second, but Woojinhyung’s life flowed like a panorama in the palm of his hand that gradually got closer.
-Tsk!
That was Woojinhyung’s last memory.
**
“Thank you so much for your help.”
Jo Dong-won, the vice-leader of the Haeseon Guild, bowed at a 90-degree angle and greeted them.
“There’s no need to thank me. I was just doing my job.”
“No. He is our guild’s benefactor.”
“I told you, it’s okay. Don’t worry about it, there’s no need for a thank you.”
Kang Hyun spoke calmly and walked towards the beef restaurant.
“I’m so hungry. Let’s go quickly.”
“Mr. Kang Hyun!”
“yes?”
Jo Dong-won caught Kang-hyun as he was about to leave.
“I know it’s shameless, but I beg you. Please help me just this once!”
Jo Dong-won was kneeling on the floor, his head bowed.
“Please, I beg you!”
Other Haeseon guild members who saw that also came over and knelt down.
“I’m a bit busy right now. For help like this, talk to the Powerful People’s Association.”
“The Ability Union does not intervene in guild disputes! The only person who can help us is Kang Hyun.”
“Why should I help you?”
“Please, just give me 30 minutes. If you listen to me, I’m sure you’ll change your mind.”
Kang Hyun frowned at Jo Dong-won’s words.
“If you haven’t eaten yet, I know a good Korean beef restaurant nearby. I’ll take you there.”
“Then let’s go for now.”
**
A premium Korean beef restaurant that costs over 100,000 won per person. Kang Hyun inhaled the meat without thinking, thinking that it would relieve all of the stress from today.
“… That’s how it happened.”
Meanwhile, Jo Dong-won gave a detailed explanation of the guild’s current situation.
“Ugh, ugh… So that’s why those guys from the Jeongjin Guild suddenly got stronger?”
“yes.”
“Do you think those guys got stronger because they took some strange drug?”
“you’re right.”
Kang Hyun, who heard the general situation, became lost in thought.
‘Something smells…’
It all started with five nearby guilds forming an alliance under the leadership of the Jeongjin Guild.
It is said that the alliance, which had grown so large, eventually ended up taking over an area in Seoul.
Among them, the Jeongjin Guild and the Haeseon Guild were the largest guilds and played a central role within the alliance.
‘But then the balance of power was suddenly broken…’
At some point, the Jeongjin Guild began to grow stronger at an incredible rate.
Eventually, the balance of power collapsed, and the Jeongjin Guild, which had revealed its true colors, is said to be now taking over the other guilds one by one.
“How much time do we have left to conquer our C-rank dungeon?”
“Two days later.”
“Umm…”
Kang Hyun frowned at Shin Sung Ah’s answer.
“Let me help you.”
“thank you!”
“But we don’t have time right now. The raid is right around the corner. Let’s finish the dungeon raid first and then learn about it in earnest.”
“yes.”
It was clear that clearing a C-rank dungeon would take at least a week.
However, since it was a situation where just helping was enough, Jo Dong-won nodded obediently.
“In that sense…”
“yes.”
“Let’s order just one more beer.”
“All right…”
Cho Dong-won held back tears as he calculated the remaining credit limit for the month.
