Chapter 72 Situation of the Empire (4)

When I woke up, it was Zeros' magic workshop in the basement.

“Phew!”

Seong-jun came down from the dimensional gate with a deep breath. You feel popular beyond the wall, and then Zeros appears.

He found Seong-jun and hurriedly narrowed the street.

“Seong-jun Kang! How was your hometown? ”

“It was worse than I thought. ”

Sitting in the nearest chair, Seong-jun replied. The expression of Seong-jun who was in an unusual atmosphere became serious because of Zeros' expression.

“What happened? ”

“Sounds like a long story. Can I get you something to drink? ”

“I'd be happy to. ”

Zeros summoned a refreshing beverage with simple magic. After accepting it, Seong-jun quickly poured it into his mouth and explained what happened in Abenhall.

“Forced imprisonment of the Slum...... I guess the situation with the Empire is worse than I thought. ”

“Looks like the rebels aren't small. And lately, the front lines with the Royal Alliance are not so good. ”

After the battle against the United Kingdom, the Empire began to be pushed back a little on the front lines after the defeat in Riddick Plains.

As the situation worsened, the Liberation Army began to riot again, and the Empire was struggling to maintain the lines inside and out with only its regular troops.

“What are you going to do now? ”

Zeros raises the question carefully. From now on, he thought it was important to walk with Seong-jun.

As soon as Seong-jun didn't answer, Zeros drank a drink and opened his mouth calmly.

“May I have my own opinion? ”

“Thank you. Tell me.”

Seong-jun happily nodded. A clear smile spread over Zeros' mouth.

“I don't think it's a bad idea to contact the rebels. Created after a massive Purge and having hostility to the Empire, it is very likely that Lord Rowkel's side caused this force. Then it would also be favorable to Sir Kang Sung-joon, Lord Rowkel's disciple. If we join forces with them, we may be able to bring down a mighty empire. ”

“I'm not wrong. But it's still too early to be sure. I think we need to go back and forth and keep an eye on things for a while. ”

“As expected, you are Lord Kang Sung-joon. You are Lord Rowkel's disciple. I was touched once again. ”

Zeros smiled brightly and said. He was not a lying father, so Seong-jun nodded with a satisfied face.

“Nothing special happened while I was gone, right? ”

“I think there was a small issue. If you go to Jung-cheol Park, you'll hear the details. ”

Seong-jun nodded his head and moved to Dong B with Jeongchul. Jung-cheol was waiting for him in the study of B Agreement.

Zeros said it was a small issue, but his expression was quite serious.

“What's going on? ”

“It's not clear yet, but it looks like the current situation with the Road Guild has begun. ”

“Control...? ”

That was bad news.

“How is the deterrent coming in? ”

“We're seeing movement to monopolize dungeons of Class S or higher. The group of blue dragons also said that there are many aspects of deterrence being initiated. ”

“Exclusive dungeon attempts and fending off the Blue Dragon group...... Then there's a good chance that at least 5 top guilds and one or more large corporations are involved. ”

“I think so, too. ”

Seong-jun said, Jung-cheol nodded and said yes.

“Here's a detailed report. ”

It was about five pages long. Seong-jun quickly read it. The report prepared by Jung-chul, who appeared to be from an intelligence agency, was well organized.

Seong-jun, who read until the last page, opened his mouth with a cold expression.

“Who would do such a thing without fear? ”

“I'm working with my informants on this. Sooner or later, we'll find out who's behind this. ”

“Yes. You take care of it. ”

“You have nothing to worry about. I'm used to this kind of thing. We will gather information as soon as possible. ”

Jeongchul replied with a confident voice. He was an expert in this area, so he didn't seem to have to worry much.

“You're not going to get violent, are you? ”

“Even so, 'Road’ is a guild with the only SS class Hunter in Korea. There's a gaze of the government, so we're not going to resort to violence. I'll do my best to deal with the dungeon's monopoly and public opinion manipulation. ”

I wanted to use the power of the coalition committee, but they only move on incidents that are related to 'offshore'. That's why I had to leave it to the train this time.

“I'll take care of this. I have to go see Seol Ah. ”

“I envy you.”

Jeongchul smiled and said. As long as I was not a fool, I could not have known that the air flow between Seong-jun and Seolma changed.

“That's not it. I'm going to work. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

Jeongchul chuckled as he laughed about what was so funny. Seeing that, Seong-jun left the library shaking his head. After completing a brief preparation, I called Seohya before getting in the car.

- Hello? Are you Seong-jun?

I heard Seohya's voice full of joy behind my smartphone. It must be a busy time, but I smiled at Seong-jun's mouth as soon as I got the call.

“Can I go to work now? ”

You're welcome anytime, Seong-jun! So what's going on?

“I need to ask you a few questions about work. I think it's better to talk face-to-face than to talk on the phone. ”

I'll be waiting for you!

Seong-jun ended the call terribly because he was afraid that his answer would end. Then he rode in his car to the Blue Dragon Group Headquarters building. Soon after, I was able to arrive.

Seong-jun instructs the security guard to wait and steps inside the building. When he arrives in the lobby on the first floor, he can find Snow.

“Seol Ah. ”

“Ah!”

Seong-jun called Snow. She turns to a cheerful voice calling to herself, smiling brightly. Seong-jun took a step towards her.

“Were you waiting? ”

“Yes, ever since the call ended. ”

In Seohyun's answer, Seong-jun shook his head. Though he had arrived earlier than expected, it would not have been a short time to stand and wait.

“Let's go up. I want to talk to you. ”

Instead of answering, she nodded and grabbed Seong-jun's hand and led him to the elevator.

It was so natural that even Seong-jun couldn't recognize it. I got on the elevator to the floor where her office is.

“This way.”

Seohya takes the first step and guides me. Soon I arrived at her office.

Seong-jun sat down first, and Seolma sat where she could face him.

“How's the Blue Dragon group? ”

“Yes, I'm fine. ”

I answered with a faint smile. He seemed to have said that because he wanted to increase his worries.

Although he was better at managing his expression, unfortunately, Seong-jun had heard from Jeongchul that a deterrent against the Blue Dragon group seemed to have begun.

“I heard everything from Jeongchul, so you can tell me. ”

Seongjun said, Then Seolja opened her mouth calmly.

“I think I used my hand in a group of skulls. ”

“If it's a grouping of bones... … it's the third largest company in Korea, right? ”

“Yes, that's right. ”

Seola nods with a short sigh.

“I see you've been trying to fend off the Blue Dragon group, and it looks like you have some help. ”

Seong-jun told me, as I thought after hearing the explanation from the train, more than five guilds located above the top ranks seemed to have teamed up with the relic group.

“What did the chairman say? ”

“Grandpa's been having a hard time lately, so he's resting. ”

“So who does the overall work of the group? ”

“I'm watching. ”

In the past, Seola was a place that Yoon Tae-suk, chairman of the Blue Dragon Group, could not trust.

However, as she met Seong-jun and began to achieve good results in various businesses, Tae-seok's faith also increased.

For now, Seolma's position within the Blue Dragon Group has increased to the extent that she will be temporarily in charge of the chairman's work.

“You haven't identified the guilds that are assisting the Skull Group yet, have you? ”

Seong-jun asked me. I need to know who the enemy is before I can respond. He knew he shouldn't move so fast now.

“Nothing's been revealed yet. ”

“Please contact me as soon as you find out who's behind this. ”

“What are you going to do? ”

Seong-jun lifted her mouth.

“We have to deal with it.”

I tried my best to calm down the blooming life.

* * *

“Chairman Ahn Hyun-tae. You're all set. ”

A cold impression secretary in glasses approached and reported. Standing by the window and looking at the night view of Seoul, the situation lifted my mouth.

“Finally... is it time...?" ”

An-hyungyu, my father, suddenly lost his life in an accident and inherited the position of Chairman of the Sanctuary Group.

Although there were several complex procedures, Hyunkyu's well-prepared life allowed him to sit as chairman of a large business at a relatively young age of mid-40s with no major obstacles.

“You must have been prepared, right? ”

“No problem. I checked three times. ”

The secretary answered with three fingers outstretched. The situation nodded with a satisfactory expression. Now that you're all set, it's time to move on.

“Let's go.”

“I'll do it.”

When the situation moved on, the secretary followed.

“Are they coming? ”

“Yes, I've just been told we're leaving. ”

After listening to the secretary's report and taking a busy step, the two of them were able to arrive at the ‘room’ that was ready.

As a layman, the light was so dim that you couldn't see it, but the situation as a Class B magical hunter did not feel uncomfortable.

“Wouldn't it be nice to have a little more light? ”

His secretary was an ordinary man. It could be a little dark in his eyes.

“That's enough. There's no" civilian "among" guests "anyway. ”

“Very well. I'll keep the lights on." ”

“Yes. What about the inspection of the 'goods’ for entertainment? ”

The situation asked. It was the most important thing.

“I've checked three times, but there's still time... … I'll check again. ”

“You'd better make sure. Hunters aren't easy to bribe with money. ”

The eyes of the current situation glow coldly. He opens his mouth with a sinister smile that cannot predict its significance.

“‘Woman’ works best. ”
