Chapter 28 chastisement

Upon the news of Hyunseong’s death, Hyunseong’s mother collapsed on the spot.

After waking up, she cried for several days.

“The real problem came after that.”

What flew to her mother, who had barely regained her body and mind, was a bill for loss of rental equipment in Hyunseong’s name and a bill for breach of contract.

“… … .”

Hyunseong was at a loss for words.

It was like pouring gasoline on a burning house.

He could never have imagined that such a thing would happen.

At that time, it was Choi Hyun-ji who found out the truth on behalf of his mother.

He protested dozens more times.

However, only macro responses such as ‘There is no legal problem’ and ‘Apply for renunciation of inheritance’ came back.

He consulted with a lawyer, but there was no solution other than to apply for a waiver of the inheritance.

“If you give up your inheritance, you will have to move out immediately.”

The house where my mother and sister lived is a jeonse house contracted under Hyunseong’s name.

If I gave up the inheritance, of course I had to vacate the house.

Of course, even if the inheritance was abandoned, there was no immediate financial difficulty.

This is because Hyunseong signed a contract with the Players Association and sent a portion of the down payment he received to his mother.

But they even tried to touch it.

“It was really boring back then. Because Hyunseong regarded the money you sent to your mother as an illegal gift and sent a bill for the return of fuel.”

teeth are broken

If things had gone as it was, there was nothing left in the hands of the mother and sister.

“Of course, things got better after that. A person named Yoona Shin came to visit her and knelt down to her knees to apologize, and she said that there was a mistake in handling the matter. But from my point of view, it is not a simple mistake.”

Of course, there was no mistake.

“I will find out.”

“She’s been keeping her mouth shut because your mom told you never to tell her.”

She must have said that out of consideration for her son who was raised from the dead.

“But I said this because you also seem to be somewhat stable and you should know that this has happened.”

“Thanks for letting me know, sister.”

If Choi Hyun-joo hadn’t told her, she would have passed without knowing.

However, this was not a problem that could not be overlooked.

* * *

Hyunseong visited the headquarters of the Players Association.

To find out why the hell it happened and who did it.

Hyunseong headed to the player association’s information counter.

“I have an appointment with Captain Shin Yoon-ah.”

“Oh, you came a little early. Captain Shin Yoon-ah is yet to return… … .”

not a little

Arrived an hour ahead of my appointment time.

“I contacted him in advance just in case, and he told me to wait in his office.”

“Oh, is that so? Then I will guide you.”Hyunseong, guided by the counter staff, entered Shin Yoon-ah’s office.

“Can I bring you a cup of tea?”

“Fine.”

“Then I’ll just go.”

After the counter staff left, Hyunseong was left alone in Yoona Shin’s office.

‘It’s neat.’

Hyunseong, who looked around Yoona Shin’s office for a while, activated the skill she bought this morning.

‘Psychometry.’

A hero-grade skill that not only sees the scene, but also hears the sound.

It’s a skill that doesn’t help at all in combat.

However, as a hero-grade skill, it was well worth it in a non-combat situation.

‘Code Search Choi Hyunseong.’

Psychometry skill began to search.

According to the search term, scenes in which the name Choi Hyunseong was mentioned appeared in the air.

Hyunseong looked up the oldest information first.

The first information that appeared was the situation in which Shin Yoon-a recognized Hyunseong’s death.

In the holographic video being played, Yoona Shin looked very sad.

She was grateful that, besides her family, she had someone to mourn her own death.

The holographic video created after that was a scene where Shin Yoon-a was talking to someone.

“How the hell did this happen? Why did you do that to Choi Hyunseong’s family?”

Shin Yoon-ah, with an angry expression on her face, was strongly protesting against someone.

– Because that’s the rule. I just carried out my work according to the previous regulations, Captain Shin Yoon-ah.

A man’s voice full of annoyance came from the receiver.

“Withdraw that order immediately.”

– This is not my business, and it’s not for the general manager Shin Yoon-ah.

“Is that what you would do to a player who lost his life fighting for his country?”

– I don’t want to do that either, but this is the rule.

The two argued for a long time.

“If I were to die, would you still do things like this? If this directive is not withdrawn, I will also leave the Players Association.”

– It is a breach of contract.

“Will such an abnormal subordination contract be recognized in the international community?”

-Are you saying that you will fight with the Korean government now?

“It means that the Korean government will play with me.”

– Whoa, it sounds like you’re too excited. We will get back to you later.

With that said, the call ended.

“You scumbags!”

Shin Yoon-a cursed the person she talked to for a long time.

With that, the holographic video ended.

‘He’s a very grateful person.’

I didn’t know Shin Yoon-ah would have done it this far.

She stood up for herself with the government head-on.That wasn’t enough, so I took out the most powerful card, the contract cancellation.

The number of times Hyunseong met Shin Yoon-ah was not that many.

But she had a rough idea of ​​who Shin Yoona was.

She was never the type of person to talk about Shin Yoona.

She said she might have really broken her contract if she hadn’t changed her mind by the government.

She looked at her record after that.

She didn’t have any particularly helpful holographic images.

But she could tell who was in charge of this work just by looking at the holographic video she had just seen.

Through the content played in the hologram video, it was also possible to know who Shin Yoon-ah was talking to.

‘Minister Lee Hang-gu.’

He was a minister.

He searched for the opponent’s name and position with his smartphone.

The results came out right away.

Lee Hang-gu, Minister of Dimensional Gate Management.

The Dimensional Gate Management Department was a national organization that had the Dungeon Management Office and the Players Management Office as subordinate organizations.

Although unofficial, the Players’ Association was also a sub-organization of the Dimensional Gate Management Department.

The Dimensional Gate Management Department was newly established after the Cataclysm, and it had a fairly strong power among national institutions.

‘Dimensional Gate Management Department.’

One can see the heat.

When I asked why the Players Association was so rotten despite the presence of a person like Shin Yoon-ah, there was a good reason for it.

‘You are dead.’

She was going to rip her soul out of her mind so that she wouldn’t be able to walk around with her face outside her.

click.

Then, the door to the office opened.

“ Hyunseong, have you been waiting for a long time?”

At Shin Yoona’s words, Hyunseong shook her head.

“no. I came early, what?”

“Then why did you come all of a sudden? Even if you ask me, you won’t tell me.”

Shin Yoon-ah asked with a puzzled expression.

It was because I was curious as to why Hyunseong, who had been focused only on hunting, suddenly came to the head office of the Players Association.

“I think we should break the contract.”

Shin Yoon-ah’s expression hardened at Hyunseong’s words.

“Suddenly, what… … ?”

“Because I knew what Minister Lee Hang-gu was trying to do.”

At Hyunseong’s words, Shin Yoon-ah’s expression became urgent.

“I apologize for that.”

“no. There is no need for Yoona Shin to apologize. Anyway, it was all thanks to Shin Yoon-ah that the situation was resolved later. Rather, I should thank you.”

“Then, even if you see me, can’t you just skip this one time? I will definitely change the rules so that something like this does not happen again.”

“That is of course what we should do. There is one thing I want more than that.”

“Say whatever you want. I’ll listen to anything.”

“I would like to meet Minister Lee Hang-gu in person and receive an apology.””Yes?”

“I said that I would like to receive an apology from Minister Lee Hang-gu directly. This is all I want.”

Shin Yoon-ah’s expression was dyed with embarrassment.

* * *

Bang!

“You cheeky bastard!”

Minister Lee Hang-gu took a picture of her office desk with an exasperated expression.

“How do you make such a campaign for a position with unique skills?”

At Minister Lee Hang-koo’s roar, his aides looked very nervous.

“What did I do wrong? Yeah, isn’t it?”

“Because he’s young, he doesn’t seem to know what the world is.”

“I think it’s because I don’t have iron yet.”

“The Minister was merely performing his duties in accordance with the due process. He needs to protest right now.”

Even with the words of his aides, Minister Lee Hang-gu’s expression did not come off easily.

“Shit. Yeah, that’s just right. I was just trying to perform my legal duties according to the law! But why do I have to apologize to that kid? And you really didn’t!”

“Yes. The Minister has given me great generosity, but I am presumptuously installing it without knowing that grace. You have to Jailbreak.”

“Yeah, that’s right. But how are you going to Jailbreak?”

Minister Lee Hang-gu’s face turned yellow, as he clashed hard.

“That, that… … .”

“I’ve already reached the VIP ears, how should I Jailbreak?”

“… … .”

The aides kept their mouths shut like a peacock.

“These assholes, they just talk about it without any countermeasures!”

“I’m sorry, Minister!”

The aides bowed their heads in unison and shouted.

“ha!”

Minister Lee Hang-gu sighed and frowned.

Shin Yoon-ah and the creepy thing threatened him, and he reported everything on the above line, so he said he would regret it if he didn’t apologize.

Minister Lee Hang-koo is not an idiot.

Rather, it is a worn-out ridge.

As such, he knew very well how this was going to go.

He did not ask for unreasonable compensation from the opponent, only a pure apology without any physical compensation.

From the government’s point of view, which had to extend the contract with Choi Hyunseong, who possessed unique skills, it was beneficial to meekly comply with the opponent’s request.

To put it bluntly, from the government’s point of view, Choi Hyunseong’s request was a no-loss proposal.

The problem was the wrinkled pride of Lee Hang-gu, who was the party to the apology.

While serving as the Minister of Dimensional Gate Management, the guild leader of a large guild and even top-class rankers think that he is below him, and the person who Daehan is Lee Hang-gu.

Do you think Lee Hang-gu has to apologize face-to-face to a gore who hasn’t been awake for less than a year?

Not only did it scratch my pride, but it was a day of great disgrace on days when even rumors spread.

“Look at him and tell him to come here quietly.”

“Yes?”

Minister Lee Hang-gu’s face was ferociously distorted at the aide’s counter-question.

“Should I go to his house to apologize to the kid? I’m busy with work, so if you want to get an apology, tell him to come and see him in person!”

“Yes, I will pass it on!”

The aide moved around.

‘I can’t find him.’

This was Lee Hang-gu’s last pride.

Also, if Choi Hyunseong refused, he was going to apologize, but he was refusing to do so, so he thought about going overboard.

* * *

‘Come by yourself, this is it.’

A satisfied smile formed on Hyunseong’s lips, who received Minister Lee Hang-gu’s will through Shin Yoon-ah.

Actually, the meeting place didn’t matter.

This is because Minister Lee was planning to use psychometry skills on the watches, badges, and glasses that Minister Lee usually wears.

However, if he meets him in the office, he has more objects to use his psychometry skill.

‘I’m fine.’

Hyunseong immediately called Lee Hang-gu’s office and made an appointment.

Then he got into the car and headed to the Dimensional Gate Management Department.

* * *

Hyunseong, who arrived at the dimension gate management department, was not able to meet Minister Lee Hang-gu immediately.

It was because of the adviser’s words that he had to wait because he was busy.

‘It’s not the attitude of a person who apologizes at all.’

He had already been waiting for over an hour, even though he arrived exactly on time as promised, starting with directing the person to apologize to.

‘There is nothing wrong with me.’

He used psychometric skills inside the building, including the aide’s belongings.

As a result, we could see how rotten Minister Lee Hang-gu was.

It was a perfect hotbed of corruption, including a huge guild with lawmakers and large corporations in the background, plus dungeon access managers.

‘The expenses are quite lax.’

The staff of the Dimensional Gate Management Department were just ordinary people.

The player didn’t exist at all.

‘I’m fine.’

It was easy to steal secret ledgers, and he could openly use psychometry skills.

An aide approached Hyunseong, who was gradually accumulating information.

“Let’s go. The Minister is looking for you.”

“all right.”

Hyunseong stood up.

Upon arriving at the office, Hyunseong met Minister Lee Hang-gu.

Minister Lee Hang-gu’s facial expression was plainly wrinkled.

“Um, are you Choi Hyunseong? quite stupid. He’s about the same age as my grandchildren. Why do young people these days… … .”

I’m here to get an apology, but I’m just stating completely nonsensical things.

Hyunseong calmly listened to Minister Lee Hang-gu’s story and cast psychometry skills.

‘You’re a very dirty bastard.’

Even though he was kicking his back pocket openly like this, it was to the point that he was still not caught.

No, Minister Lee Hang-koo did not seem to think that his mistake would be discovered.

Because all his associates were in one place.“Aren’t you apologizing?”

Minister Lee Hang-gu’s expression, who had been arguing for a while in response to Hyunseong’s question, turned red.

“Kuhm. I’m sorry. But, as a person in charge of public affairs, I had no choice but to do so. A minister cannot carry out his official duties with a private mind. So you understand.”

Minister Lee Hang-koo said something that was not known whether it was an apology or an excuse.

“If that was a legitimate official task, why couldn’t it be carried out?”

“what?”

“If that’s a legitimate public service, why couldn’t you do it? To be honest, isn’t it just one or two absurd claims? Damaged equipment? It actually happened while on duty. For example, a firefighter saved many lives while fighting a fire and died himself. But does he bill that person to pay for the heat shield he was wearing?”

At Hyunseong’s question, Minister Lee Hang-gu’s expression hardened.

But Hyunseong’s words weren’t over yet.

“And the penalty for breach of contract? It was transferred during the execution of the previous contract. He did what he told me to do and he killed himself, but he died and didn’t fulfill his contract faithfully, so vomit the down payment? Does this make sense? If an officer or non-commissioned officer on long-term service is killed during the war, are you going to ask me to pay a penalty because I can’t fulfill my long-term service period?”

Minister Lee Hang-gu’s thick chin began to tremble.

“What the hell is going on in your head to make such a nonsensical argument? Does it make sense to say that an elderly minister, who has done things that even a three-year-old child would know, does not know?”

Minister Lee Hang-gu’s face turned red.

“It’s not even a boulder.”

Minister Lee Hang-gu exploded at Hyunseong’s self-talk.

“You know who I am and are you talking nonsense like that?”

“What do you mean I was talking about? Isn’t it the Minister who spoke rudely from the beginning?”

After finishing his words, Hyunseong muttered, shaking his head as if it was nonsense.

“How can you be so clueless? Do you have udon in your head?”

It was obviously a small mumble.

However, there was no way that Minister Lee Hang-gu, who was right in front of him, could not hear him.

“Hey, you motherfucker, what did you just say? I am the Minister, the Minister! He was also a member of parliament before. What does the blue young nigga say that he knows? How dare you insult me ​​for saying that the poor bastard who couldn’t learn and woke up fortunately? A poor bastard who couldn’t throw it away dares to me… … !”

Minister Lee Hang-gu was furious and poured out insulting remarks towards Hyunseong.

But soon after, the cold life that engulfed his body woke him up.

His intense magic was tangible and overflowed.

My skin was tingling as it felt like I was going to cut my flesh.

Minister Lee Hang-gu stiffened his whole body like a herbivore standing in front of a wild beast.

His whole body began to tremble against his master’s will.

“Are you going to just kill me?”

The intense life contained in Hyunseong’s murmur paralyzed Minister Lee Hang-gu’s rationality.

hey hey hey

Minister Lee Hang-gu’s groin got wet with yellow water.

dripping.

Yellow water fell to the floor.

dump!

And Minister Lee Hang-koo sat down on the floor.

his leg was loose.

“Oh, you’re tired of peeing. hey, it’s dirty It would be a shame to go out to get salt at that age.”

Hyunseong knelt down and met Minister Lee Hang-gu at eye level.

“In the future, buy wisely. And when you spit it out, please say what you’re thinking and get it out of your mouth. This is not decoration.”

Hyunseong tapped Minister Lee Hang-gu on the head and said.Minister Lee Hang-gu did not say anything.

So did his aides.

Their bodies were as hard as ice.

“Oh, and I have recorded all of the insulting remarks you made earlier. I will formally protest this. You can also file a complaint for insults. Then see you in court.”

After finishing his speech, Hyunseong moved slowly and left Minister Lee Hang-gu’s office.

“Ahhhhhhh!”

The voice of Minister Lee Hang-gu, full of anger, was heard through Hyunseong’s ears, standing in the elevator at the end of the hallway of the office.

‘It’s refreshing.’

Although only appetizers were served, customer satisfaction seemed to be quite high.

‘How are you going to get out next time?’

If the main dish appeared, it was likely that we would be able to hear a more satisfying scream than now.

* * *

“Even if you drink this change, you won’t be cool!”

Minister Lee Hang-gu stared at the formal protests and complaints that had flown in front of him with an expression full of anger.

The VIP’s rebuke continued without end.

When I asked him to comfort him and finish it, he said, “What the hell did you do?”

Minister Lee Hang-koo protested, saying that player Choi Hyunseong threatened him. But they didn’t do that much earlier, and a stronger rebuke came back as to why they made the Sadal.

It is a grave felony for a player to harm the public.

However, it was quite difficult to prove Hyunseong’s crime because he suffered no special trauma and the only witnesses were him and his aide.

He could not submit as evidence of underwear and suit pants that were peeing.

If he did that, he would rather paint his own face.

In the end, all Minister Lee could do was say that Choi Hyunseong threatened him.

The VIP, who heard the audio file submitted by Hyunseong as evidence, looked at Minister Lee Hang-gu patheticly, saying that it was fortunate that it ended at that level.

In the audio file that Hyunseong submitted as evidence, there was no recorded content of Hyunseong muttering in a low voice.

‘But why did I do that?’

He honestly didn’t quite understand.

Minister Lee Hang-gu was a member of the National Assembly and rose to the position of minister.

If he hadn’t been defeated in the election years ago, he might have held both parliamentary and ministerial posts.

That’s what it means to be a worn out politician.

He was arrogant, but his patience was not so weak that he lost his temper with just a few such horses and showed his heart in excitement.

‘Now that’s not important.’

It raises questions, but looking back on what has already happened does not solve the problem.

The most important thing right now was to get through the crisis that was right now.

Immediately the light went out.

Because of his superiors’ rebuke and Choi Hyunseong’s importance, he could be expelled from his post if he made a mistake.

‘Let’s apologize.’

Now was not the time to be proud of yourself.

First, I had to go to a gore named Choi Hyunseong and ask for forgiveness.

Although he was humiliating, he could not give up the privileges guaranteed by his current position.

“Come on, Minister!”

Then the aides rushed into the office.”what’s the matter?”

“Look at this.”

Minister Lee Hang-koo’s face began to turn blue as he received the smartphone that the aide had offered.

“Hey, why the hell is this… … .”

“We need to shut down the media right now.”

Minister Lee Hang-gu nodded his head urgently at the words of the aide.

“Call the press right now. I also contacted corporate presidents.”

“all right!”

Minister Lee Hang-koo and his aides began to move busy.

It was because of Minister Lee Hang-koo’s corrupt books that spread all over the Internet.

* * *

‘This skill is more useful than I thought.’

Normal rank skill Rage.

It is a type of provocation skill.

But it’s not very popular.

This is because the monster engulfed in rage attacks without sparing its own body, which has the effect of increasing combat power.

Hyunseong is also a skill that he hasn’t used a few times since he first learned it.

I regretted that I learned it for nothing, but after all, if I buy a skill, I can use it all.

No matter how general-grade skill, it had a fairly large effect against the general public, whose resistance was almost zero.

It would have been a bit tricky if Minister Lee Hang-gu had mastered the mental defense passive skill book, but fortunately there was no such thing.

In fact, the passive skillbooks that the general public purchases have a lot to do with health.

Why would ordinary people who do not have to fight monsters pay expensive money to buy a passive skill book for mental defense?

With that money, it was better to buy and learn another type of skill book that strengthens the body.

‘Certainly, the skill is fraudulent against the general public.’

In fact, I used stealth and other general grade skills only at the beginning, and after that, I hardly found any proper use.

But this time, I was able to put it to good use.

‘Let’s see if you can stop it.’

Corruption ledgers spread through the Internet.

No matter how hard you mobilize your contacts, you won’t be able to stop it easily.

‘Players are getting up and running properly.’

Players belonging to small and medium-sized guilds and small parties, who could not properly develop their spirits under the pressure of the giant guild, were rising like fire.

Their anger was truly great.

Small and medium-sized guilds were at the center, and there were even signs of a group strike.

‘A strike creates a riot.’

When a player strikes, the aftermath is beyond imagination.

This is because a dungeon with an increased number of monsters may cause a monster wave.

However, it is impossible to forcibly suppress the strike of players with superhuman abilities.

Then, a situation similar to civil war occurs.

‘There is a simple solution.’

Eliminate problem buds.

The dismissal of Minister Lee Hang-koo and fair punishment for criminal acts.

Unless the government is stupid, it won’t play with players just to cover up one minister.
