“Here you go.”

The errand boy says that Dennis just grabbed his smartphone.

“This is shortcode number 1. ”

I hesitated for a moment, and then Dennis pressed one. I saw a familiar number.

“This is...”

“Your sister is in San Francisco. ”

“Are you threatening a hostage? ”

“No, a threat. We just came to see him because we wanted to work with him. I heard your sister runs a great pizza place. Ah, of course, that's the case when things went well. If things don't work out... I'll leave it to your imagination. ”

- Who are you?

The other person answered the phone.

“It's me, Yantao. ”

- Oh, Denise? I'm in the middle of a meeting with a guest.

“People I meet now. ”

Dennis tried to say something, but the security guard grabbed his smartphone before.

“I don't know what you're trying to say, but it's not going to help your sister. ”

“What do you want? ”

“I told you before. My colleague is a zealot of Vitellites, and he is sick and wants the Pope to visit him. Of course, all the necessary expenses will be on this side, so you'd better call it a reward... or a contribution. I'll make a donation. So do me a favor."

“Looks like you took hostages when you asked. ”

“I had no choice. A few days into the investigation, there were many people who came here for similar purposes, but none of them succeeded. because unlike them, we hate failure. So we did a little bit of preparation in our own way. ”

“I told you I couldn't do it. And the Pope's ability only works on trauma, not on illness. ”

“That's for us to decide. ”

“Ha…”

“Sigh. That's three. Looks like you could use a little punishment. ”

The errand boy grabbed his hand and the guard took the smartphone out of his arms. The errand boy puts his smartphone on the table with his speakerphone turned on and calls someone.

- Yes, Dmitri.

“Cut off your ears. ”

- Yes, sir.

“And send a video for the gentleman here to see. ”

- Yes, sir.

“Are you threatening to cut off my brother's ear? ”

“Phew. Threatening? It's not a threat. I don't just talk. ”

“Ha... This is the worst. I haven't seen this in a while. ”

Most humans who come to Dennis are genuine, but the people they met this time were the best genuine. Most people just threaten and go back. Very few people use violence to execute it, but it was the worst of them.

“Cut off your fourth... thumb. ”

-....

The errand boy looks at Dennis sighing and says to his smartphone angry, but he doesn't hear an answer. The messenger's expression, which had been keeping his relaxed expression so far, was greatly distorted.

“I'm not answering! ”

His voice echoes in the office. It wasn't even a screech, but I purposely yelled at Dennis to pressure him. He now thinks Dennis will be frightened of himself if he hears a frightened or vigorous voice beyond the phone.

But when I waited, there was no answer. This time when a really pissed off errand boy tries to scream again.

“Could you give me that smartphone again? ”

Dennis talks to the guard and cuts off the timing of the screaming. The guard looks at the errand boy in a sudden situation, and the errand boy nods and says yes.

Dennis, who received his smartphone, did the same thing as the errand boy. I pressed the number 1 for the errand boy to see, and put the speakerphone on the table.

- Dennis.

The opponent answers the phone. The errand boy didn't vote outwardly, but he was quite surprised. Something went wrong. The author should not be answering the phone. His people should have their ears cut off and their fingers cut off by now.

“What happened? ”

- Suddenly, I put them all to bed. What do we do?

“Hand it over to the police. ”

- Where's the rest of them?

“Leave it. I'll take care of it from here. ”

“W-what... what happened?! You bastards! They're not answering! ”

The errand boy who has been acting like a gentleman has completely broken down. He kept shouting at his smartphones, but nobody answered.

“My family was taken hostage once. I rescued them all because of the Pope, but I was stunned. ”

Those who came to Dennis worked in the dark, just like the people they are now meeting. One of their favorite threats was hostages.

Measures are in place after the first hostage incident. One of the branches of the British Intelligence Service was disguised as Dennis' family business. As a result, the headquarters of the San Francisco office became a pizza shop, and Yantao, the Chinese American who looks most like Dennis, was in charge.

“At that time, the Pope said, ‘All Vitelians are family. Anyone who threatens your family, destroy them.’ So Borodenka in Alphenato. ”

“Uh, how? ”

An errand boy. No, Borodenka never came here to reveal himself. However, the opponent speaks correctly about his organization and his name. I couldn't help but be surprised.

Dennis ignores the surprised Borodenka and gets up off the couch and goes to his desk.

“From now on, I'm going to destroy the Alphenato. ”

Dennis presses the button on the interphone on his desk. It was connected directly to the intelligence services.

- Let's start decommissioning the Alphenato.

“Please.”

The intelligence agency that had been listening to all the conversations that had been going on in the office gave Dennis the answers he wanted. He also informed Dennis of the name and organization of Borodenka.

“What the... what the hell! ”

Borodenka gets up off the couch, pulls his pistol out of his chest and points it at Dennis. And at that moment, Dennis' appearance disappeared.

“W-where did he go? ”

“To the right!”

The guard exclaims urgently. Dennis' appearance was clear to him. He hid himself under his desk and ran out to the right to Borodenka.

Borodenka hurriedly looks to the right. But there was no sign of Dennis to the guard.

Tuck. Boom.

He grabs the arm with the gun and stops it from firing, then punches you in the chin. Borodenka's consciousness flies away and falls to the floor like a broken doll.

“Whoa!”

The guard throws himself at Dennis. But by the time I almost had him, Dennis had disappeared from his sight. And then...

Bubble Bug!

Dennis's fist appears next to you, and he falls unconscious.

Tiric! Tiric! Tiric!

Immediately, the interphone on my desk rang.

“Dennis.”

- Bensen.

“Ah, sir. You're back.”

Bensen's full title is Head of NSA Korea Branch, so he should be called Head of Branch, but to Vitellist agents he was called Head of Intelligence under Vitel Bridge. I went to the Middle East to practice vintages, but I returned an hour ago and watched everything happen in Dennis's office.

- I just saw you fight.

“... Have you seen it? ”

Dennis felt uneasy for some reason.

- You barely fooled two people.

“Ugh. I don't think the technology's working because it's a slumber...”

Dennis makes excuses, but Bensen doesn't listen.

- Though you're not a combatant, if you're an intelligence officer, you should be able to fight half as well as a paladin. Am I wrong?

“... That's right. ”

- I see you've doubled your training time since today.

“Ugh. Starting today. ”

- You got a problem with that?

“No! No! ”

Dennis quickly replies with a floating posture. Bensen can grow more there.

- He's gone.

“Oh, yeah. Thank you."

I took off my float posture and stared at Borodenka and his bodyguard. They were annoying Humans, but their training time doubled.

The paladin's combat training is hard enough to keep up with even the three blessed Dennis. I've doubled my training.

Dennis presses the button again.

“Alphenato... Please destroy it thoroughly. ”

- I will.

* * *

“I'll build a hotel here. ”

“Ugh. It's too scary to build a hotel there. ”

“Heh heh. You'll go bankrupt in one shot. ”

“Absolutely not. I can control the dice. ”

“You entered the uninhabited because you could control the dice. ”

“One retreat for the second advance... call. Wait a minute."

This call is worth answering. It's a key person, so it's important when you get a call. Especially if it's a benzene number like now.

I left the house and got a phone call. I don't want Yuna to hear anything serious.

“Yes, go ahead. ”

- We've begun disposal of Alphenato, an eastern Russian organization.

“Did you threaten Dennis again? ”

Bensen uses different words, even if they have the same meaning, depending on the situation. Disposal is usually the expression used by guests who meet Dennis when dealing with the Vitellist and a fully pretended Mafia family.

The method of disposal is simple. If there is a country with information organisations connected to us, we use the power of that organisation, if not, to leak information to government officials.

Though the world was a chaotic organization that seemed to belong to itself, wherever the country decided to go, it disappeared into dust.

We don't even have to go out there ourselves. That was their position.

- He tried to take Jantao hostage.

“Oh my… there are so many people out there trying to solve everything with violence. ”

If you say you don't like people, you should know how to give up, but you're rich, powerful, and you don't give up what you've done. Then there must be humans who use extreme measures.

Maybe this is the fourth time. It was the first time since the incident happened, but in the past year, Dennis' family has actually been held hostage once, and since then, Jantao has been held hostage twice. That's when I sent Kayla to finish the job.

At that time, those who kidnapped Dennis' family disappeared from the world without leaving even a body.

“Dennis is struggling. ”

- He's just doing his job.

Bensen is too strict with his agents. There are four hostages, but Dennis goes through a lot more than that. Or life threatened dozens of times. Among them, there were quite a few who pulled their guns out of their faces.

How can you bring a gun to Korea? There's been a bombing. Snipers are showing up. Only things that seem like they will never happen in Korea keep happening.

“Can you see if Denise's family can come to Korea? ”

- Are you trying to bless me?

“Yes, that's all I can do. ”

- Dennis will be so pleased. I'll bring it in in a few days.

I could pay you, but Dennis is already making enough money. My church pays well. So all I can do is bless my family. It seems like you're wasting your blessings on people who aren't helping the Church... but it's okay.

-----------

-Command of the Church - Blessing (Step 3): It is possible to bless the congregation. May be lowered per 10,000 followers, limited to 3 per person. By default, Church contribution points will cost 1 million and additional Church contribution points will be consumed depending on the target's status.

Currently blessed: 7,180/174,962

-----------

There's still plenty of room. I wonder if I can spend it all on blessings all my life.

“Mister! Come quickly! ”

“Okay, I'm on my way. ”

Yuna insists. At least two more rounds from the tempo. Ugh... I wouldn't have had to come to Gimhae Station.

“Then why did the seafarer go on a business trip? Does he have any business trips? ”

I asked Onslaught.

The job of Gimhae Station is to teach Vitellist combat skills. You can think of it as nothing else. Combat skill training is being taught well by those who have learned from Gimhae Station even if Gimhae Station is no longer there. So it's just like me and Juna. But a business trip.

“The Pope must be very angry about the shooting. ”

“Why?”

“I should have stopped him before he stepped up, but he seemed to blame himself for not doing so. ”

“No. How do you stop a man from flying bullets? ”

I can't do that either. It's because he's Adil. Of course, I have a strong body that won't get hit by a bullet if I can't avoid it.

“Gimhae is the paladin. You think you should have done something impossible for people. ”

You must be tired for a while. He's got a persistent corner, so I'm going to hang on to practice stopping the bullets from flying.

“So you went on a business trip to learn how to block bullets? ”

“No, he went to a mercenary company that belonged to him. ”

“Oh. Did you go there? ”

The sniper who was after me was not a Taliban, but a mercenary hired by the Taliban. That's why I sent Kyla and 10 paladins to the mercenary company who accepted my request to be punished.

Looks like they got in there.

“What are you going to do if Kayla's gone?”

I didn't send ten paladins to fight with me, I sent them to clean up after me. Kaila will be the only one punished.

So there's nothing to go on. Did you go to see what happened to them?

* * *

“Leave this to me. Kayla.”

Kim Hae Station asked Kyla to keep her back down.
