Kumoh Group -1-
I didn’t tell anyone that I had reached level 5.
I only went to the super tower once for certification.
“Congratulations, Superman!”
But how can I not know?
Director Choi came in carrying a ten-tier cake that was bigger than me.
“Teacher! I heard you reached level 5!”
“Congratulations.”
After that, Baek So-rin and Janet came in.
Although there were no flashy gifts like those from Director Choi, they each held a bottle of wine and champagne.
Meanwhile, magic fireworks were exploding in the sky.
Phew! Boom bang!
[Congratulations to Mr. Kim Jeon-sa on his great achievement!]
[Congrats! Level 5 Kim Warrior!]
[All security staff]
It’s obvious who set off the firecrackers without even looking.
It was Seo Woo Jin.
A fireworks show that looks like it was made with a lot of money at first glance is being held together with a drone show that flies around and shoots lasers.
It didn’t end there.
[We’ve been waiting for this day. – All members of the Iron Fist faction]
[Chukdaeseong – Hunters’ Association]
[Congratulations on reaching level 5 – Sun Tower]
[Congratulations on this small but huge step. – Dongbu Army]
[Walk on a flowery path! – Thor’s Order]
[We wish you ascension. – Guardians’ League]
[May the Goddess bless you. – Gaia Church]
[Congratulations on your success. I’ll always be rooting for you. – White-haired younger brother]
[The old father is still waiting for you. – The old father’s sect]
The wreaths came in in a row.
It’s not the boring wreath you see in the original world.
It was a wreath made by selecting only the most magical flowers and decorating them with all kinds of jewels.
Even the surrounding space rippled gently, as if magic had been implanted in it.
I looked at the last wreath and my mouth twisted.
Old Father’s Church.
Is this a provocation or what?
“You are truly amazing!”
Baek So-rin’s eyes sparkled.
“I had no idea that my teacher knew so many places!”
Kim Cheol-kwon, who had just arrived, nodded.
“That’s true. Of the four major powers, all but the conglomerates sent wreaths. When did you build up these connections?”
“I worked hard and this is how it turned out.”
By the way, what happened to the Geumoh Group?
I thought you’d contact me right away since you tried to steal my information from the Sun Tower, but I haven’t heard from you.
“It’s a party!”
Before we knew it, Director Choi had set up a grill and was grilling meat.
Baek So-rin helped from the side, and Kim Cheol-kwon brought out a whole case of alcohol from his car.
Janet just watched, not knowing what to do.
“Director. Have you heard anything about the Geumoh Group?”
When I ask casually, Director Choi looks at me with a surprised look.
“I guess you heard it too, Superman. No matter how much you block the media, those who know will know.”
huh?
What’s going on?
“As you know, Superman, this is a real mess. The war of succession is getting worse and worse.”
War of succession?
“You know that the fallen chairman had seven children, right? Among them, the eldest son, the second son, and the youngest daughter are engaged in a three-way battle. The other children have all been eliminated. The gathered forces are equally strong, and the three are similarly capable, so it doesn’t seem like there will be an easy conclusion. The only thing left is war. It seems like the board of directors has already decided on a method of war.”
Oh, this… … .
If things were normal, wouldn’t this happen a long time later?
The succession war of the Kumoh Group.
As far as I remember, it broke out right before the nuclear war in Episode 6.
It was an incident that occurred when the chairman of the Geumoh Group was assassinated by the nuclear war mastermind.
“Eldest son, second son, youngest daughter?”
“Yes. Are you interested? I received a request this morning. I thought you were interested in Superman.”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s simple. It’s a duel.”
“duel?”
“It looks like the three forces are going to have a five-game duel. This is a request to participate. I’ve put up a huge sum of money as a reward for your success.”
When I heard it, it was scary.
First, 10 billion in cash.

All three were the same.
Additionally, the eldest son bet 30 diamonds, the second son bet 3 magic weapons, and the youngest daughter bet 1 fertility gun.
I burst out laughing as soon as I heard it.
“10 billion is the basic?”
“He’s a chaebol. And if he’s a superhuman, he’ll definitely win at level 5. He might even win at level 6.”
“Is there a level restriction?”
“Yes. The board of directors has restricted the number of participants to two at level 6 and three at level 5. Level 7 participants are not allowed to participate.”
“Is it really necessary to do that?”
“As far as I know, it’s a collaboration between the second son and the youngest daughter. The eldest son’s teacher is level 7.”
“aha.”
“That’s why the eldest son got to level 5. The second son and youngest daughter can’t even beat him at level 6, but the eldest son’s brothers-in-law are some of the best among the level 5s.”
Politics is really complicated.
I never thought there would be such a push and pull in a 5-game series.
“But the succession to the conglomerate family is decided through five consecutive duels?”
“That’s not the end of it. The five-game series is just one of three.”
“3 consecutive games?”
“There are also scheduled duels for the president and team matches.”
“Isn’t making money the most important thing for a conglomerate? I don’t understand how they decide that by force.”
“Because their power and ability are similar. And doesn’t making money depend on force? If you don’t have power, you can’t make money. The Kum-Oh Group is particularly sensitive to this because its fallen chairman is famous for not hesitating to use force.”
That’s true.
Because in the game, they were a group that was almost like a villain group.
I heard that all three of them have proven their management skills.
‘This is the diamond, the magic weapon, and the fertility gun.’
Should I join in?
All three are items that are difficult to obtain.
If it’s not a one-on-one fight, but a many-on-one duel, honestly, I can eat it raw.
In the Great Labyrinth, you won 3 to 1.
It’s because the Inquisitor and the Knight Commander are both N-class.
“I’ll join too.”
“You too, Superman?”
“There are still matters to be resolved with the Geumoh Group. Do you know that a wizard was expelled from the Sun Tower a few months ago?”
“I know. I saw it on the news. I heard that he is now hired as a personal bodyguard for the eldest son of the Kumoh Group.”
Eldest son?
Was the back line that way?
“Then I will join the youngest daughter’s side.”
The reason is simple.
Because the reward given by the youngest daughter is the best.
In the game, the youngest daughter was at the greatest disadvantage among the three.
It’s probably the same here.
The elders of Geumoh Electronics will support the eldest son, and the powerful people of Geumoh Security will support the second son.
The youngest daughter has Geumoh Financial, but even that is weak at this point.
High return, high risk is an immutable truth.
“Your Majesty, there is something you must know before you make your decision. It is about the fallen chairman.”
I guess I know what I’m talking about?
Death that seemed like simple old age in the game.
The whole story is revealed only later when the Truth Tower is pointed out as the one behind the nuclear war.
The secret documents obtained at the end of the Truth Tower Raid reveal that Episode 4: The Evil Dragon, Episode 5: The Gates of Hell, and Episode 6: Nuclear War were all caused by the Truth Tower.
There was a reason why the interior of the tower was implemented even though it was not even included in the four major towers.
“There is a rumor that he touched the Sun Tower.”
Sun Tower?
Why is that name here?
Baek So-rin, who had been wandering around, suddenly intervened.
“The Sun Tower? Why the Sun Tower?”
“Um… … I don’t know the details. But I heard that the Geumoh Group made a mistake with the Sun Tower, and that the Sun Tower retaliated.”
“Hey, even so, can’t we do something about the conglomerate chairman?”
“That’s what Mr. Sorin is thinking wrong.”
Kim Cheol-kwon spoke from the side.
“People often refer to them as the four major powers, but there is a clear difference in strength and weakness among the four major powers. Strictly speaking, they should be called the six strong and twelve weak.”
“6 strong and 12 weak?”
“Chairman Kim is right. The Eastern Army, Western Army, Shinwha Group, Sun Tower, Old Father’s Sect, and Shiva Sect are the six major forces. There is a big difference between these forces and the rest.”
2nd Legion, 4th Conglomerate, 5th Tower, 7th Sect.
The scale for distinguishing between the strengths and weaknesses of the 18 forces is simple.
“These are the places where level 8 superhumans are located.”
“That’s right. This time, there is a high possibility that the Lord of the Sun Tower himself took action.”
“I heard that too. The Chairman’s heart was completely burned. But it’s obvious that an unidentified magical power was circulating his blood.”
“In our country, the only person who can do that is the Lord Taeyang Matap. I heard there are quite a few in foreign countries.”
I was lost in thought as I listened to the conversation between Director Choi and Kim Cheol-kwon.
Why did the sun dome move?
The first thing that came to mind was something that happened a few months ago.
They tried to get my information.
Perhaps the Sun Tower was secretly sending a warning?
Then an argument must have started.
The chairman of the Kumoh Group is not an ordinary person either.
What if the Sun Tower’s anger exploded during that process?
It wasn’t just a male and female fight, they probably had a fight.
The Geumoh Group must have tried hard to hide it.
Because conglomerates are the ones who care the most about external opinions, and also the ones who ignore them the most.
It’s not for nothing that they have a hold on TV broadcasters and newspapers.
‘It’s strange… … .’
Even so, the chairman of the Geumoh Group is dead?
Even though Matapju has a quick temper, he doesn’t seem like the type of person who would ignore everything and kill the chairman of a conglomerate.
I think there may be some behind-the-scenes story that I don’t know about.
“Those siblings are strange too. If your father was attacked by the Sun Tower, shouldn’t you take revenge?”
“That’s not the kind of family that would do that.”
“The humans there are hyenas. No one asked to bring the saint or the pope. If they had used the elixir and received a miracle of resurrection from the saint or the pope when they were discovered, they would have survived.”
“The chairman has lost the people’s support. Who would like it if he keeps sending assassins, promoting people, and sending them to remote places? His children are also fighting over management rights rather than trying to cure him, so that says it all.”
“Now that the golden time has passed, there is no way to save him. He is on life support and only his heart is beating. The moment the vice chairman is elected by the board of directors will be the moment the chairman dies.”
This is a dead end.
In the game, they try to survive somehow.
Here, they’re pushing you on your back and telling you to die?
“What is money… … Okay. Director Choi, please contact me formally.”
“Your youngest daughter is at a disadvantage in many ways, but is that okay?”
“It’s okay. There are some advantages to being disadvantaged.”
“I will contact you right away.”
I guess the appointment will be made in a few days.
With that thought in mind, I popped the champagne.
It was when Baek So-rin was giving advice and congratulations, knowing that she was already close to level 4.
Ding dong.
As the doorbell rang, Chief Choi’s smartphone started buzzing.
“uh…….”
Director Choi checked his smartphone and opened his eyes.
“You arrived outside?”
“yes?”
“The youngest daughter, no, the president of Geumoh Financial Group, Seong, has arrived outside.”
How long has it been since you asked me to do this?
At this point, as soon as I got the call, I got in a car, no, a flying car and flew over.
Adjusted the sanctuary and opened the door.
A woman stands proudly under the pouring sunlight.
All alone, without a secretary or bodyguard.
But it cannot be taken lightly.
The crow feathers on the nape of the neck catch the eye.
A small jewel hidden behind the earlobe exudes powerful magic.
The Leviathan build that I also taught to Kim Cheol-kwon.
A combination of bio-mutants and mechanical prosthetics.
If you were from a wealthy family, you would have some level of knowledge about strengthening that suited your family.
“Mr. Sung?”
“Yes. This is Seong Hee-young. I received your email. Would you like to accept my request?”
Seong Hee-young looks me up and down.
An attitude that seems to judge an object.
Me too.
A character depicted as a venomous snake and a scorpion in the game.
I was cautious but also curious.
Because my mother was a top star, her looks were amazing.
“Come in. We’re having a small party.”
“I heard you reached level 5. Congratulations.”
“thank you.”
I am also a level 6 superhuman.
Seong Hee-young came in with her shoes clicking.
The noisy mansion fell into silence.
The reason is that the atmosphere it created overwhelmed the crowd even though it did not emit any magical waves.
“Huh.”
Seong Hee-young snorted when she saw Baek So-rin and Janet.
“Are they the genius disciples of the superman?”
“Yes. Both are level 3. One of them will be level 4 within a month.”
“It looks that way to me. I heard from Chief Seo, but I think Superman has a natural talent for teaching. Considering that all seven of his disciples are level 3 or higher.”
seven?
Oh, you were talking about Seo Woojin and his friends too.
He is not a formal disciple, but in martial arts terms, he could be considered a disciple of a foreigner or a layman, but a disciple is a disciple.
I just shrugged my shoulders.
“That’s what it is.”
“If possible, I would like to invite you as the CEO or standing advisor of our security team, or rather, of Kumoh Security. Is that okay?”
“A mere level 5 person as the CEO? Wouldn’t that be difficult?”
“It’s possible. He’s not an ordinary person, he’s a silent swordsman.”
Seong Hee-young’s eyes were fixed on my waist.
None other than the Mukho Sword.
Well, who would judge me as a simple level 5?
He also has ties to the Sun Tower, and is an honorary knight of the Thor Cult and Gaia Cult.
It came in so quietly that it wasn’t a hot topic, but everyone who knew knew.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t like belonging to groups.”
“I knew that. Since you refused to become the commander’s disciple, the position of president of Geumoh Security would probably not be of interest to you. However, I heard that there is something that you like, too.”
Seong Hee-young puts her hands in her pockets.
Kim Cheol-kwon stands up, his body tense up.
He puts his hand on the machine gun, but Seong Hee-young pretends not to see him.
He simply took out a thick pistol from his pocket, perhaps a magical pocket with expanded space.
It was a familiar gun.
I’ve seen them a lot in games, and they look like brothers to the two guns that are sleeping in my golf bag right now.
“This is Dasan Tomb.”
Seong Hee-young said confidently.
“I’ll give you one as a commission, and if you succeed, I’ll give you one more.”
