Episode 147
“It ended up like this.”
Association President Kevin Lee said while watching the video being broadcast.
“We are now waiting for entry permission from China.”
“… … .”
President Kevin Lee did not respond to the secretary’s words.
An unbelievable battle scene taking place right in front of his eyes.
That’s because my attention was taken there.
Observer, a satellite secretly developed by the United States.
The Observer was shining a light on Guangzhou, which was broken following the dungeon expansion.
What is different from the existing brakes is Venom of Gray Disease.
The point was that the boss monster was not visible.
“Is it true that Kim Tae-hyun attacked alone…?” ?”
He muttered as if it were nonsense.
This is an unbelievable fact.
But looking back on the time when the dungeon was broken, I couldn’t help but think that way.
He again focused his attention on the three men and women in the video.
They were waging a ‘war’ rather than a strategy or battle.
These are not the only ones at the existing Guangzhou research institute.
Until now, players who had gone missing in Guangzhou’s unexplored dungeons were pouring out as monsters.
Including low-level, middle-level, and high-level monsters, there are about tens of thousands of them.
Nevertheless, the three men and women maintained a tense standoff without breaking the cordon.
Ricky Harlis.
Montel Jackson.
Taehyun Kim.
Each of them is a national power player that is considered one of the best in the world.
Among them, the one who particularly stood out was Montel Jackson.
The various weapons he implemented poured out magic bullets.
In the first place, it is a skill with a reputation for dealing with multiple monsters.
The amount of magic power, which was usually pointed out as a weakness, is compensated for with the potion that Duduk brought, and the skill is activated by drinking the highest grade magic potion as if it were an energy drink.
It almost looked like a god of war.
Most of the monsters melted away from that attack.
Several monsters who had come over in large quantities targeted Montel Jackson.
Every time that happened, Taehyun appeared in an instant and stopped the monsters.
Kwasik.
A miracle that pulls out a magic gem with a single blow.
It is not a flashy move compared to Montel Jackson.
However, Association President Kevin Lee, an S-rank player, was able to find out.
In such a melee situation, it is impossible to pull out the magic stones of monsters at once without extensive training.
This is not something Taehyun, who is just turning 20, can do.
“I’m glad though. Because Ricky Harlis is alive.”
The secretary spoke her true feelings on behalf of the president of the association, who did not respond.
All she did was throw potions to Taehyun and Montel Jackson because they were injured, and occasionally use scrolls.
“okay. Fortunately, the worst was avoided… “That’s strange.”
“yes?”
“Ricky Harlis. Even if it’s her. “Doesn’t Kim Tae-hyun have any skills to use right now?”
“… … !!”
Only then did the secretary notice something strange.
It is a well-known fact that Taehyun is a multiple awakener.
At least five skills identified.
Nevertheless, in the video, all Taehyun did was deal with the approaching monster with minimal movement.
“surely… That’s strange. “Are you injured?”
“Does that look like the movement of an injured person?”
“… … .”
“Well, you’ll find out when Ricky comes. “Notify China to lift the warp gate barrier.”
After organizing his thoughts, Association President Kevin Lee lightly exhaled.
The secretary looked embarrassed at those words.
“But other countries have not yet given permission. If we make the first move, it will be a diplomatic issue… .”
Association President Kevin Lee looked at his secretary without saying a word.
“Look. “There is a saying in Asia like this.”
“… … ?”
“If the favor continues, Dooley, no, I think it’s power. “Isn’t this a perfect word for the current situation?”
“yes… ?”
In response to the secretary’s question, Association President Kevin Lee let out a sheepish laugh.
“Two of our country’s national forces are fighting. “How important is the political situation when it comes to finding a colleague?”
“That means… .”
“You don’t need permission or anything. If they refuse, force them to break through. “I will take responsibility for the rest.”
“… All right.”

“Oh. And one more thing.”
“… … ?”
“Now this video. Edit it and secretly pass it on to the information guild.”
“Do you mean in other countries as well?”
Association President Kevin Lee nodded in response to the secretary’s question.
“okay. “As of today, China will no longer be a great power.”
After the secretary left, Kevin Lee looked at the video again.
Before we knew it, the monsters that seemed ready to devour the three people had decreased significantly.
* * *
“It’s a brake… “As expected.”
“yes. “They say all gates to China are currently blocked.”
“I hope the damage isn’t too big this time.”
Association President Ji Jin-hee said while looking at the documents handed to him by the secretary.
There, the information I had collected about the unexplored Guangzhou dungeon was listed.
“Player Kim Tae-hyun will be disappointed.”
No employee of the association knew that the president of the association cared for Taehyun very much.
“hmm… Actually, that kid was paying special attention to the unexplored dungeon. “If this happens, it won’t be worth the effort to win a friendly match.”
“It appears that China will not receive support from other countries. It looks like it will be resolved on its own.”
“There are incidents in Russia and Japan, so it will come out that way. What are the moves of other powers?”
“Currently, we are protesting against the attitude of unilaterally blocking entry and exit… “There is no official response.”
“Well, you’re going to be crazy there too.”
Association President Ji Jin-hee said as if he understood.
If something similar happened in New Korea, what choice would you make?
It was terrifying to even imagine.
“However, there is also information that the United States forcibly activated the warp gate a little while ago. “I’m not sure about this, so I’ll look into it a little more and tell you.”
“hmm… “Have you heard anything from Guild Leader Yoo Ah-young?”
“I’ll try to contact you.”
“Please.”
As soon as the secretary left the room, Go Tae-wook came in.
“This incident happened in a neighboring country, but we are now taking this seriously.”
Go Tae-wook nodded lightly.
“President of the Association. “Take a look at this.”
Go Tae-wook immediately connected the USB.
“Hmm… What else, but… .”
Ji Jin-hee muttered without hiding her concern.
This is because I know that Go Tae-wook would never act like this because it is not important.
After a while, an image appeared on the screen.
There were monsters and humans rushing towards us, covering the desolate land.
No, it could no longer be called human.
A human being transformed into a demon.
Those people with that horrible appearance were rushing towards them along with the monster.
To whom?
Quang. bang. bang. Kwaaang.
The monsters at the forefront exploded from the magic bullets pouring down.
S-rank skill ‘Genocide bullet’.
A man who embodies modern weapons and uses his magic power as bullets and shells.
Montel Jackson was firing his skills as if he were an army.
The quickly rising fatigue and depleting magic power seemed to be resolved with scrolls and potions.
Ji Jin-hee immediately realized that this was happening in an unexplored dungeon in Guangzhou.
“That’s incredible… “How did you get this video?”
“It was sent by Guild Leader Yoo Ah-young. “They said it looks like the Players Association of America is behind it.”
“is it… “What kind of plan is this again?”
left and right.
Unlike politicians who are divided into two tendencies, Ji Jin-hee has a neutral stance.
Therefore, basically, other powers also did not trust them.
Even when individuals form an organization, numerous interests are bound to become entangled.
I couldn’t even guess what it was like when it reached the size of a country.
“Did you see it?”
“yes… This is the way to check first and then get it… .”
“hmm? “Why is that?”
As Go Tae-wook trailed off, Ji Jin-hee’s expression darkened.
“I mean Taehyun.”
“Taehyun again… why… ? Did some accident happen? ?”
Taehyun has been quiet for the past few days without any contact.
President Ji Jin-hee of the association had no choice but to ask back with an anxious expression.
“Taehyun is over there too. “It is said to be in an unexplored dungeon in Guangzhou.”
“what… ?!!”
Ji Jin-hee jumped up from her seat at the unexpected words.
Just then, the screen showed another face.
It was Taehyun extracting a magic stone from a charging monster.
“oh… oh my god.”
Ji Jin-hee sat down without being able to finish her sentence.
Go Tae-wook added.
“It doesn’t appear in the video, but it looks like Ricky Harlis is also there.”
“hmm… .”
“Are you okay?”
Go Tae-wook sighed and asked.
This is because when it comes to Tae-hyeon’s affairs, Ji Jin-hee’s usual dignity disappears and he becomes an ordinary grandfather.
“It’s okay… haha… Has this happened once or twice… It’s not surprising anymore… .”
“I think you’re already surprised enough.”
“Umm… .”
Ji Jin-hee was drooling while watching the video.
* * *
At that time, Night Walker’s Seoul headquarters.
Ayoung was also watching the video that Ji Jin-hee and Ko Tae-wook were watching.
One difference is that this is the second video leaked by the Players Association of America.
“Our association president. “You will be surprised again.”
Slurp.
Ayoung muttered while drinking coffee.
Ji Jin-hee, the president of the association, cares for Tae-hyeon very much.
It was clear what kind of expression he was making right now.
She turned her attention back to the video.
The battlefield is an unexplored dungeon in Guangzhou.
The video ended with Montel Jackson shattering the body of a monster that appeared to be S+ grade.
“I guess the results would have come out somehow by now.”
A considerable amount of time has passed since the dungeon break occurred.
Looking at the reduced number of monsters in the second video, it was enough time for results to come out.
More than anything.
“It’s too blatant.”
From what she could tell, the people over there were Taehyun, Ricky Harlis, and Montel Jackson.
But for some reason, only Taehyun and Montel Jackson appeared in the video.
Most of it was close-ups of the hideous monsters or Montel Jackson stopping them, and Taehyun occasionally had to deal with some of the monsters in person-to-person combat.
‘The intention is probably to show off their status and disparage other countries.’
If it’s natural, then it’s natural.
It is also true that if the intention is clearly visible, it does not look very good.
At that time, deputy guild leader Jeong Han-su came in.
“This is new information.”
“Guangzhou side?”
Jeong Han-soo shook his head.
“This is the malicious guild.”
Ayoung’s expression hardened.
A considerable amount of time has passed since the friendly match ended.
However, the main culprit has not yet been captured alive.
Externally, the guild leader was a shadow of the triad’s third leader, but he had already figured out that there was a separate person in power.
The problem is that the identity of the person in power is still unknown.
“There is someone who witnessed the contact between Shadow and President Lee Jeong-soo in the depths of the Abyss.”
“Lee Jeong-soo of Taesan Electronics?”
Jeongsoo Lee.
President of Taesan Electronics, a global company, and Vice Chairman of Taesan Group.
I found it surprising to hear that he was intertwined with shadows.
“It’s still only a sighting… .”
“okay. “They are both related to Taehyun.”
For Shadow, the Triads and the Malicious Guild, and for Lee Jeong-su, his son, Lee Jeong-jae.
Whether trivial or not, they are related to Taehyun’s previous actions.
Although it can be dismissed as a coincidence.
I didn’t know that the truth was usually hidden in what seemed like coincidences.
“What else did you find out?”
“Not yet. “We will report to you as soon as new information comes in.”
“okay.”
After finishing the report, Jeong Han-soo left the guild leader’s room.
Ayoung’s eyes turned to Taehyun in the video again.
‘Kim Tae-hyun. ‘What are you aiming for?’
Taehyun’s path was always followed by the term unconventional.
A road no one has walked before.
Ayoung is Taehyun’s length.
He just hoped it had nothing to do with his ominous feeling.
