Kumoh Group -2-
That’s a big girl.
It was the same in the game.
The pettiness seen in the eldest and second sons was not seen in Seong Hee-young.
Perhaps it is a survival strategy to deal with older brothers who are much older than her?
I checked the gun Seong Hee-young was holding.
“Is that a destructive power pistol?”
“That’s right. The item I’ll give you as a reward for your success is a pistol with the stopping ability.”
I mentioned it once.
It is said that the two who share the same ability share the same ability.
What I have now is a [shock] shotgun and a [sniper] rifle.
Add destruction and stop here?
Destruction was particularly strong in destroying armor and facilities, and Stop had the effect of temporarily stopping the opponent’s movements.
There is no harm in having it.
Especially good when you’re in the middle of a battle.
What if we stop and destroy the armor?
I nodded coolly.
“You’re as angry as I’ve heard. Good. Should I write up a contract right away?”
Seong Hee-young smiled brightly.
“Okay. I brought the contract, so please sign it.”
Seong Hee-young flicked the jewel on her ear with her finger.
A blue light flashes and a bound paper contract appears.
He walks around with a strange body attached to him.
Director Choi coughed in vain and accepted the contract.
“Superhuman. Let me look into it first. Where… … Huh? The duel is tomorrow?”
“Tomorrow?”
“Yes. Is that a problem?”
Seong Hee-young raised her nose proudly.
Oh, yeah.
That’s not a problem.
There was a reason I ran as soon as I sent the reply.
His confident attitude made me laugh instead.
“I’m glad I didn’t waste any time. I heard about the 5-match duel, but what exactly do I have to do there?”
“It’s simple.”
Seong Hee-young looked at me and said.
“It’s a win. I hope you win at least once. If possible, two, three would be even better.”
“Is it a winning streak?”
“Yes. It’s the perfect way to create a protagonist.”
The expression isn’t very good.
That would be the case, since the eldest and second sons have fairly famous level 6 superhumans, but the superhumans that Seong Hee-young has acquired are not at that level.
“I’ll give you a success bonus if you succeed just once. If you win twice or three times, I’ll give you an additional bonus each time. Oh, and that’s when you average it out. We have to fight twice in total.”
“What about four and five?”
“Four times? And five times? Are you saying this knowing that two out of five people are level 6?”
Seong Hee-young made a face as if to say, “Does that make sense?”
That too for a moment.
I look at the silent sword hanging from my waist and the three badges pinned to my chest and am lost in thought.
“Well, if you’re a superhuman… … But levels 4, 5, and 6 are different… … Okay. If you achieve results, I’ll pay you a performance bonus. I haven’t thought about what I’ll give you, but I promise. I’ll pay you extra bonuses based on how many times you multiply.”
“Thank you. What is my turn?”
“Superman is my joker. I’m thinking of you as the third one.”
It’s the third one.
It means that among the 5 levels, he will be the last to be sent out.
Should I just ask you to move first?
If you destroy level 5 and level 6 and win 5 games in a row… … .
‘Hey, let’s close it.’
It’s not like I’m interested, so why bother going that far?
This duel isn’t even a secret duel.
It’ll definitely be on the news.
It’s better to do it moderately than to sell your face all over the country and have the paparazzi chase you around.
right.
“Okay, the third one would be fine.”
“I won’t ask you to risk your life. If you win once, you can surrender at any time. We agreed that if you surrender, it will end immediately.”
“Keep that in mind. I just have one question to ask.”
“Go ahead.”
“If I win three times, will you win five consecutive duels, be recognized by the group’s board of directors, and become the group’s chairman?”
You must provide precise victory conditions.
Seong Hee-young’s face became clouded when she heard the question.
“That’s not it. To be honest, I have a low chance of winning this fifth consecutive duel. We decided to have one duel between ourselves first, then one duel between the winner and me, and then one duel with the loser, but my brothers have a famous level 6 superhuman attached to them.”
“Is that so… … .”

“But I can’t give up. There’s still time before the board meeting is reconvened. If I show a good performance in this duel and find the crow chip by then, I have a chance of winning.”
“A crow chip?”
Seong Hee-young made a face of regret.
“There is something like that. It’s a family secret, so please forget it.”
You know everything, so why are you forgetting something?
Crow chips.
This is the recipe for strengthening the vision of the Kumoh Group.
A memory chip containing the combination formula for the Golden Crow mutation factor and the Jewel Magic Circle machine body.
Could this be called the legacy of the chairman who became the returnee?
In the game, it played a decisive role in determining the winner of the succession war.
“And I have one thing to tell you. This duel is a consecutive win system, so there are limitations. I heard that you are also good at making elixirs and strengthening catalysts, but it will be difficult for you to use them in this duel.”
“That’s a bit of a shame.”
Maybe they adjusted the rules to make things go faster?
When I asked casually, he said it was because he had someone in mind.
It is said that there is a famous level 6 assassin among the eldest son’s entourage.
It’s said that he was sniped by using poison and drugs very well.
“Your Majesty, the review is complete. This is a normal contract for a warrior. All you have to do is fill in the additional compensation details that President Sung mentioned earlier.”
“I didn’t think about what I would give you… … .”
“Take your time. Oh, and I prefer magic weapons, diamonds, and nectar over cash.”
“Magic weapons, diamonds, nectar… … Okay. I’ll give you one of those three.”
“thank you.”
The contract amendments and signing were completed quickly.
Seong Hee-young winked at me and asked for a handshake.
“We’re on the same boat with this. See you at the headquarters building tomorrow.”
“Yeah.”
Again, again, again.
Seong Hee-young leaves without looking back.
He looked just as arrogant and brash as when he arrived.
“Whoa!”
Baek So-rin, who had been observing the situation, let out the breath she had been holding.
“The aura is no joke. I really thought I was going to suffocate to death.”
“You’re level 6 with a golden spoon in your mouth.”
“Are you that age? You look about the same as me… … ”
Actually, Kim Jeon-sa-rang and I are similar.
In the game he was in his 30s, but now it’s a few years before the game starts.
Baek So-rin looks at me with a worried expression.
“Teacher. Isn’t it dangerous? If they’re going to participate in the war to inherit the conglomerate, they must be really good at it.”
“What should I do?”
Janet, who was cheering from the side.
I just laughed once.
“Your teacher is also a person who plays a handicraft?”
“Still.”
“At least among those who will duel, there is no one who can do anything to me.”
Among the 5 levels, yes.
What about level 6?
Actually, it’s a little dangerous.
Even if you only reach level 5, a character with advanced traits will appear, and by level 6, there are many cases where you will have multiple advanced traits.
This means that it is difficult to crush high-level superhumans like before.
‘Let’s decide based on the situation.’
I don’t need to win 5 games in a row by myself.
Even if Sung Hee-young loses in five consecutive duels, that’s Sung Hee-young’s problem, not mine.
If you want to make Sung Hee-young the head of a conglomerate, finding the crow chip mentioned above would be the fastest and most certain way.
Kim Cheol-kwon, who had been listening quietly, raised his glass.
“Cheers to Superman’s victory!”
“Cheers!”
I forgot about the duel tomorrow and got lost in the party.
Time passed quickly and it was time for the duel.
Office building located in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu.
The headquarters of the five largest conglomerates, Shinwha Group, Daesung Group, Yongwang Group, Geumoh Group, and Seungcheon Group, are all located here.
There were as many skyscrapers as Songpa-gu, where the superintendent was located.
Among them, I entered a sleek wing-shaped skyscraper.
The duel takes place on the rooftop.
A three-dimensional magic circle tightly envelops the distant sky, and flying cars with unique designs arrive one after another.
The eldest and second sons did not come, and Seonghee Young and Jinyoung were waiting for them.
“came?”
Seong Hee-young also looked a little nervous.
“Nice to meet you. I am Team Leader Go Il-seok.”
“This is Team Leader Jeong Moon-young.”
“My name is Kim Jeon-sa. Please take good care of me.”
I exchanged greetings with the ambassadors from Seong Hee-young’s side.
There is no one who catches the eye.
Looking at the characteristics, they were all R-rated.
If even the eldest and second sons were this level of superhuman, I could beat them all by myself.
Papa! Papa pat!
A burst of light appears and a flying car arrives.
These are not the sleek sports car-shaped flying cars that you often see, but rather flying cars that look like yachts that float in the sky.
In some ways, it looks like a mix between a limousine and a yacht.
They landed on opposite sides as if they were meant to be together, got out of the flying car, and bared their teeth at each other.
“Are you here, little brother?”
“Yes. I’m here.”
The electricity is out.
The three-dimensional magic circle shook with the powerful waves of magic.
Meanwhile, neither of them were paying any attention to Seong Hee-young.
As if his only competitor was his opponent.
But Seong Hee-young doesn’t care either.
She just kept her nose up and looked down on her older brothers.
“Boss? Let’s get going. We have 15 duels to go, and we have a long way to go.”
The host, who couldn’t stand to watch, intervened.
“joy!”
“joy!”
The two turned their heads away from each other and laughed.
The duel progressed quickly.
The first order is decided as the eldest and second sons.
Just looking at the atmosphere, it was the finals.
All ten warriors were raising their spirits, but the waves of magical power were so strong that the air froze.
Thanks to Seong Hee-young’s consideration, I sat right next to her and watched the duel.
“The person that Big Brother needs to watch out for is Team Leader Kim.”
“Are you talking about that cyborg?”
“That’s right. As expected, you’re a superhuman. You have an eye for detail.”
A large man whose entire body has been transformed into a cyborg.
The mechanical body is very rugged and stands at 3 meters tall.
Would it be similar if the Hulk from the Marvel movies was cyborgized?
Of course, even EMP bombs won’t work.
Because it cost a lot of money to have it reflective.
“This team leader is famous among my younger brother’s side.”
This is a mutation.
A human whose entire body is made of flames except for his face.
It changed like that because the mutation factor was injected to the limit of its limits.
Its only weakness is its face, but if it feels like it’s going to get hit in the face, it uses [Flame Flame] to transform its entire body into flames and escape.
Each [SR Armored Soldier] and [SR Flame Horse].
It’s true that they’re a conglomerate, so they have a lot of reinforcements.
“Let the duel begin!”
Others didn’t really care.
Those two were the only faces I knew.
But something unusual happened from the start.
The eldest son’s warrior immediately started breathing fire and roasted the second son’s warrior.
“Sunfire!”
Seong Hee-young was shocked and jumped up.
I squinted my eyes too.
A warrior wearing a hoodie with the hood pulled down to cover his face.
The arms that were revealed at first glance were prosthetic steel arms.
On the other hand, he was wearing a steel mask on his face revealed under the hood.
I thought he was a reinforcement soldier, but he turned out to be a wizard.
‘Is that guy?’
Equip [Insight].
Let’s take a closer look at the battle history.
[Sunfire][Sunheart][Magic Focus]
[Magwangpo][Fusion Heart][Body Adaptation]
Here’s one more thing you see.
[Stamp] Debuff!
[Japanese] Buff!
It was certain.
It was the wizard who had been entangled with me and was banished in the past.
He was hired as a personal bodyguard, but he also appeared as a warrior.
In addition, it gains the characteristics of the reinforced soldier series and has a special buff applied.
‘There’s even a Japanese eclipse buff.’
There was nothing like that before.
Dozens of schools that make up the Sun Tower.
A school of Japanese eclipse born from black magic, ranked among the top five.
The Japanese eclipse buff that Elder Jo, the leader of the Japanese eclipse school, brings with him during battle.
Greatly enhances magical power and also increases magic ability value.
In a long-term battle, you can even suck out your opponent’s magic power.
‘It won’t be easy.’
Commonly referred to as a magic bottle build.
A fusion build of a buff and a magician, just as a paladin straddles the warrior and priest classes.
When you look at its characteristics, it’s no joke.
Solar Heart and Fusion Heart.
Here, they shoot solar flares with a magic cannon?
The magic wave is definitely level 5, but it might work on level 6 as well.
“next.”
A mechanical sound rang out amid the frozen air.
It seems like they even had their vocal cords mechanically ground up to fit the prosthetic body.
“Huh!”
The next warrior came forward with a gun.
“Are you from the Sun Tower? I was fooled into thinking you were a reinforced soldier. But now that I know your identity, it’s over! I’ll take off that hood and reveal your face! Come at me!”
But the confidence was just words.
As the banished wizard raised his hand and casted Sunfire, he was engulfed in a pillar of fire and turned to ash.
That is the power of solar fire.
I held out with magic resistance, fire resistance, and black flame, but there was a reason why Sunfire was the signature magic of the Sun Tower.
‘This is amazing.’
Originally, it was difficult to use the Sunfire at level 5.
The magic bottle was being cheated with a combination of the solar heart, fusion heart, and magical power concentration, as well as the magical power stored in the body.
The entire body was a magical energy storage artifact.
Almost a walking human battery.
The second son’s warriors were helpless against the magic soldiers.
The eldest son, Jinyoung, achieved three consecutive wins in an instant.
One of the two level 6s stepped forward, grumbling, but the magician declared his withdrawal without hesitation.
This makes it 3 to 1.
The eldest son has two level 5 players left, which is definitely an advantage.
“Secretary Kim. Who the hell is that?”
“I am Park Hyung-joo, a level 5 wizard from the Sun Tower. I am the disciple of the level 7 wizard Elder Jo Mi-yeon, and I was a senior researcher at the Sun Tower. After being exiled several months ago, it is recorded that I was hired as the personal bodyguard of the president of Geumoh Electronics.”
“How can a level 5 have that much firepower? Wasn’t it because it wasn’t properly investigated?”
“I will investigate with payment. It is certain that the body is a magical energy storage artifact.”
“I know that too. But can you use solar fire just because you have a lot of magic power? No! Even if you use it, you won’t get that much firepower!”
“I’m sorry. I think our investigation was inadequate.”
“Is this something that can be ended with an apology? Manager Lee and Manager Cho are going to die!”
The warriors who were supposed to go out first and second.
His expression is not good. His complexion is completely ashen, as if he is about to die.
The five-game series between the eldest and second sons is already coming to an end.
The second warrior who killed two level 5 warriors but lost to a level 6 warrior.
The Flame Horse won one game, but it was useless.
Because they ended up being defeated after a bloody battle with the armored troops that followed.
The only consolation is that I surrendered and saved my life.
The first game ended in victory for the eldest son.
The eldest son grinned as if he had won.
“What do you think? Your warriors fought well, but did you feel like you were defeated by my strategy?”
“Plague.”
“Tsk tsk. You’re still a long way from becoming the chairman of the Geumoh Group. Your strategy failed, little brother. You have a lot to learn.”
Now it’s our turn.
I see the magician loosening his body over there.
Finished recharging my magic power while resting.
The body seen through the lens of insight was filled with magical power like the sun.
If left alone, the same situation will repeat itself.
Before our warrior could stand up with a dying face, I raised one hand to stop him and stood up.
“Mr. Sung.”
“yes?”
The magic bottle was also looking at me.
You recognized me a long time ago.
I can feel the murderous atmosphere.
The resentment and anger I harbored as a result of my actions have been gnawing at me for some time now.
I also remembered the feelings I had at that time.
Why are you mad at me when you tried to trick me into measuring my precision and manipulate my training program to make me suffer?
It is time to clear up any bad relationships from the past.
I suppressed my emotions and told Seong Hee-young.
“I will go out first.”
In an extremely low and bitter voice.
Filled with murderous intent.
