Level 1 Player

Chapter 44 father’s heart

After exiting the dungeon, Inukuso immediately contacted the headquarters.

– Was the operation successful?

“Failed.”

-failure? Why the hell?

Minister Tanaka asked in a bewildered voice.

“The Korean Players Association has moved. It’s a miracle that I got out. I will return to my home country immediately.”

– Do that. And did you check the fighting power of Choi Hyunseong and Woo Shia?

“Has confirmed. We will provide detailed information once we return to our home country.”

– I see.

After completing the report, Inukuso immediately called the intelligence agents who had helped in this operation to the house.

Inukuso didn’t become a secret agent for the purpose of committing a crime and getting his sentence commuted.

Of course, the probability of betraying him was also close to zero.

For that reason, Inukuso also had command of intelligence agents deployed to the scene.

The intelligence agents, who were called by their superiors, gathered without any doubt.

“Are you all gathered?”

“Yes!”

Intelligence agents responded vigorously to Inukuso’s words.

“Would you have completely erased the traces?”

“of course.”

“Now we just need to go home.”

Hearing the replies from the intelligence agents, Inukuso drew his dagger.

Seeing the boss suddenly drawing out his weapon, the intelligence agents each grabbed their weapon and looked around.

He misunderstood that an intruder had entered the house.

Inukuso’s dagger flew towards the intelligence agents who were on the lookout for a non-existent enemy.

“Aaaah!”

“Gagging!”

Intelligence agents, consisting of ordinary people and non-combat awakenings, were helplessly killed by Inukuso’s attack.

“Why the hell is the captain… … !”

“The captain is crazy!”

Embarrassed intelligence agents screamed and fled, scattered everywhere.

However, he could not keep up with Inukuso’s movement speed, which focused on his agility stat.

“Sir, please save me, Captain!”

The last remaining intelligence agent begged with tears in his eyes.

Inukuso was a great boss, and as much as he was popular with his subordinates.

Inukuso also didn’t see intelligence agents as tools.

Unlike the secret agents who were criminals, the intelligence agents were patriots who were united in patriotism and worked in the dark for the glory of Japan.

“I’m sorry.”

Whoops!

Inukuso’s dagger pierced the heart of the last survivor.

Even Inukuso didn’t want to kill them.

But they knew the master’s secret.

So I had to kill it.

This Nukuso’s head was full of thoughts that he had to complete the mission his master had given him and heal his daughter.

Inukuso activated the explosives left in the house.

And he walked out of the house.

* * *

‘I was worried about the points slipping out, but they make money on their own.’

Hyunseong put all of the skill books and items that came out of killing Japanese secret agents on the sales window, except for those that he and Rusa could learn.

It was a little uncomfortable because they came out of killing people, but what can I do?

It won’t sell right away, but if it does, it will give you quite a few points.

If you add up the skill book, weapons, armor, and accessories, there are only 24 hero grade items on the sales window.

‘Even if all of these are sold, it will be about half of the points earned so far.’

He seemed to understand why there are often people who turn into robbers in dungeons.

But Hyunseong didn’t get the items by killing innocent players.

He slaughtered the enemies who came to kill him and got the loot.

From Hyunseong’s point of view, he was just defending himself.

‘You just need to have a good balance.’

Those who oppose them are eliminated.

We do not kill innocent people for personal gain.

This was the rule Hyunseong made himself.

* * *

Inukuso met Minister Tanaka immediately after returning to Japan.

“It seems that Korea has gone crazy, even to the intelligence agents.”

Minister Tanaka said in a growling voice like a wounded beast.

“Has there been any official complaints from the Korean government?”

At this Nukuso’s question, Minister Tanaka shook his head.

“I don’t think Koreans have any intention of making this public right now. It will probably be used at the decisive moment.”“What do you plan to do next? Since this has failed, wouldn’t it be difficult for the Minister to maintain his position?”

At Nukuso’s words, Minister Tanaka rubbed his temples tightly as if his head hurt.

“The damage is too great. If this is known, I will be completely buried.”

Because of the lack of work in Kyushu, he lost a lot of secret agents as well.

“Isn’t holding on to information power? You need to grab as much information about Choi Hyunseong as possible. That’s the deal.”

“I know.”

“Is there any case where the information is leaked somewhere else?”

If information about Choi Hyunseong leaks out, Minister Tanaka’s recovery will be completely in vain.

“Don’t worry. It’s information that only my closest people, including you, know.”

Inukuso was like Minister Tanaka’s right hand.

“Information must be completely blocked. Be careful, no matter how close you are.”

Minister Tanaka burst out laughing at Inukuso’s words.

“I think it’s because of my daughter’s hospital bills. Don’t worry, even if I’m overthrown and a successor comes, your pay will remain the same. Aren’t you the best of the secret agents? In fact, they claim to be rankers, but among them, you are the only true ranker.”

“I know that I am the person of Minister Tanaka, is it possible?”

“Don’t worry. After all, the successor is also a member of the same party, so there shouldn’t be much of a problem. Rather, let me tell you about Choi Hyunseong and Woosia.”

In response to Minister Tanaka’s words, Inukuso delivered information that was appropriately decorated according to Hyunseong’s instructions.

Then he broke up with Minister Tanaka and returned home.

the next morning.

Minister Tanaka was found hanged at his home.

The same was true of Tanaka’s closest aides.

* * *

“It’s neat.”

Hyunseong said while looking at a Japanese internet article about Minister Tanaka’s suicide.

“How are you going to use him?”

At Lucia’s question, Hyunseong pondered for a moment.

“It’s okay to leave it alone and skip the information, otherwise it’s okay to form a force on your own.”

Inukuso had two identities.

One was a secret agent of the Japanese Dimensional Gate Management Department operating in the shadows, and the other was an executive of the Japan Players Association operating in the sun.

There were infinite ways to eat using either identity.

“Let’s go hunting for now.”

At Hyunseong’s words, Lucia shook her head as if she couldn’t stop it.

Hyunseong was more a hunting maniac than Lucia.

* * *

Father made a ritual.

Hyunseong went straight to the hospital with his family.

His father’s body, which was like dry firewood, had some flesh attached to it.

He hasn’t spoken yet.

But he moved his fingers and toes little by little.

“honey!”

His mother wept and took her father’s hand.

Her father’s fingers twitched as she tried to grab her mother’s hand.

“Do not work too hard.”

Father’s eyelids blinked at her mother’s words.

“Can you hear me?”

At the mother’s question, the father blinked his eyelids again.

“The sickness was all right. Now all you have to do is recover.”

At the mother’s words, the father tried to say something.

“Phuh.”

However, the proper words could not come out because of the hole in the airway.

My father’s body was slowly recovering.

However, his body, which had not been functioning properly for a long time, still lacked a lot.

He couldn’t even breathe on his own or chew food.

“Tell me later.”

At the end of his mother’s words, his father gave up on speaking.

“dad… … .”

The older sister wept and took her father’s hand.

Hyunseong also grabbed his father’s hand.

He wasn’t as cold as before.

A warm breeze was flowing.

“Aww!”

The father moved his finger towards Hyunseong.

Hyunseong held his father’s hand even tighter.

“Aww!”

But something was strange.

My father kept talking to Hyunseong.

He seemed to have something to say.

“I think your father is going to thank you.”

At her mother’s words, Hyunseong put on a puzzled expression.

“uh?”At that time, I felt a familiar energy in Hyunseong’s hand.

“horsepower?”

Hyunseong focused on her wild instinct skills with an absurd expression.

It was certain.

It was quite weak, but it was definitely magical.

“Did you say you were completely cured?”

Magic reflux was completely cured by Elixir.

But why is it that you can feel the magic in your father’s body?

“What do you mean?”

“Aren’t you finished?”

My mother and sister said urgently.

Hyunseong was not a bit bewildered by the completely unexpected situation.

At that time, Lucia, who came to the hospital with Hyunseong’s family, opened her mouth with a calm voice.

“Maybe you have awakened as a player?”

At Lucia’s words, Hyunseong and his family’s expressions were colored with absurdity.

“Isn’t that something you don’t know?”

Lucia looked at Hyunseong’s father with those words.

“Father, let’s send Hyunseong a will to open the status window.”

As soon as Lucia finished speaking, a status window appeared in front of Hyunseong.

Name: Choi Hyung-gyu

Player Level: 1

Main Occupation: None.

Stats: [Strength 1] [Agility 1] [HP 1] [Magic 60] [Spirit 10

Undistributed stat: [0]

Active Skill: [Fire Spear – Rare Grade] [Fire Arrow – Normal Grade

Passive Skills: None.

It was quite simple, but it was definitely the player’s status window.

“You have really awakened.”

At Hyunseong’s words, the faces of his mother and sister were colored with joy.

“It seems that your father was suddenly awake from his illness.”

“Even the doctor didn’t know the cause, so he was healed.”

Mother and older sister were purely delighted with father’s player awakening.

He seemed to believe that his father’s illness was cured because of his awakening.

But it wasn’t Hyunseong.

The reason his father was cured was because he took Elixir, not because of his awakening.

‘Why the hell did this happen? mere coincidence? Or does the Elixir have the power to turn ordinary people into players?’

Hyunseong was confused, but bit his mouth shut.

He could not reveal the existence of Elixir to his mother and sister.

If the effectiveness of the elixir leaks out, serious problems will occur.

Elixir is a miracle potion that heals all injuries and diseases.

When the existence of the Elixir becomes known, there will not be one or two people who are greedy.

Because there are so many old and sick powerful people in this world.

Rich people buy large amounts of passive skillbooks that they can’t use properly and learn them for their health.

It was obvious that big problems would arise if the existence of Elixir became known to such people.

‘Think positive.’

Rather, it is a good thing.

Those who do not know the truth will think that their father’s magic reflux disease has been cured because they have awakened as players like their mothers and older sisters.

* * *

After regaining his consciousness, his father quickly recovered his health.

In fact, it was normal.

This is because the player’s resilience is different from that of ordinary people.

In just a week, he was able to walk around Rome on his own food and relying on assistive devices.

The hole in the airway was also neatly filled.

The father was the first to say sorry to his family.

After her father woke up, her mother stuck to her father’s side and helped rehab.

After the hunt, Hyunseong visited the hospital.

“I’m here!”

Hyunseong shouted as he opened the door to the hospital room.

“Is Hyunseong here?”

My mother greeted Hyunseong with a smile.

“It was hard today.”

Hyunseong smiled at his father’s words filled with regret and opened his mouth.

“It’s hard. It wasn’t very difficult either. You look better than yesterday.”

“Your body gets stronger day by day.”

“You have awakened as a player.”

While Hyunseong and father were talking, mother stood up.

“I have to go home for a little while since you’re here. I have something to bring.”

“Come and get some sleep. I’m going to sleep here tonight.”

At Hyunseong’s words, her mother shook her head.“You come hunting and it’s hard. Just sleep comfortably at home.”

“It’s comfortable here too. It’s a special room.”

At Hyunseong’s words, her mother hesitated for a moment.

“You are resting at home. Today, my son and I will be spending time together.”

Her mother, pondering for a moment at her father’s words, nodded her head.

“Then I’ll sleep at home, pack my bags and come back tomorrow.”

“Do by that way. May I drive you home?”

“You have to stay in the hospital. Don’t even come out to meet me.”

With those words, her mother packed her luggage and left the room.

“Hey Hyunseong.”

“Yes, Father.”

“Thank you. It’s all thanks to you that I’m better.”

“What did I do? It’s all thanks to my father’s awakening.”

Upon hearing Hyunseong’s answer, his father looked around for a moment.

There was no one in the ward except Hyunseong and his father.

“ Hyunseong, I know it’s all thanks to you. Thanks to the medicine you gave me, I am well.”

Hyunseong’s face hardened slightly at his father’s words.

“Even though my body had been motionless, my mind was still alive. And I definitely remember the words you said when you came to visit me. You said you would heal me And it really fixed it.”

“father.”

“I took the medicine you gave me, and a change occurred in my body. The drug absorbed all the magical powers that were corrosive to the body. After absorption, I awakened as a player. I’m not getting better because I’ve awakened as a player. Because you healed me, I became a player.”

At his father’s words, Hyunseong was at a loss for words.

He had doubts with him.

Did he become a player because his father had magic reflux, or did he become a player because of the elixir?

However, the Elixir was too expensive to experiment with.

There was also no subject to test.

Even if the Elixir made ordinary people into players, it wasn’t worth it.

Elixir was an expensive potion worth 100 billion points.

“Don’t worry, I’m not going to dig deep into the drug. As it is a drug that cures an incurable disease, I am well aware that it is not good for other people to know about it. I just wanted to say thank you to you. And I’m sorry. How much trouble you must have suffered because of me… … .”

Hyunseong’s father, Choi Hyung-gyu, knew the value of the medicine that cured his illness better than anyone else.

And he was able to guess how hard his son must have suffered to get the drug.

“What do you plan to do in the future?”

“Aren’t you too old to work? I plan to go into the dungeon.”

“I just want you to stay home. I am making good enough money.”

My father smiled bitterly at Hyunseong’s words.

“At fifty-seven, I am at the peak of my working age. Don’t treat me like an old man in the back room already.”

“Dungeons are dangerous places. You never know when an accident will happen. Monsters are dangerous, but humans are more dangerous.”

“Looks like you’ve been through a lot. Then I can’t stand still anymore. I don’t want to be favored by my children’s money that they risked their lives for. Rather, do not enter the dungeon in front of you. Now that you’ve earned some money, you don’t have to do risky jobs anymore, do you?”

At his father’s words, Hyunseong was at a loss for words.

My father was originally like this.

He had a strong sense of responsibility, and he was always devoted to his family.

He did not spare to give to his children, but was reluctant to receive.

“Are you really going to enter the dungeon?”

“I have already made up my mind.”

“Mommy won’t stay still.”

At Hyunseong’s words, his father was devastated and burst into laughter.

“Your mother’s permission has already been obtained, so don’t worry.”

“Did your mom really allow you?”

Hyunseong asked in amazement.

It was expected to some extent that his father would insist on entering the dungeon.

Because he knew his father’s personality better than anyone else.

But he never dreamed that her mother would allow it.

“Yeah, so don’t worry about your mother.”

“Why the hell is Mom… … .”

Hyunseong put on a confused expression.

But this was a natural result.

Hyunseong’s parents had a sorry and sinful heart towards their children.

Hyunseong took a leave of absence from university.

Choi Hyun-ji is divorced.

After that, Hyunseong worked hard to pay his hospital bills.

Choi Hyeon-ji didn’t have enough of the money she had saved for her wedding expenses, so she poured all of her salary and part-time work expenses into her hospital bills.

Although it is said that Hyunseong became a player and gained financial strength, that does not mean that he did not miss his child’s spine.

Hyunseong’s parents thought they had to pay off the debt they owe their children.

Without the ability, Hyunseong’s father awakened as a player.

If he awakens as a player, he is on an equal footing with Hyunseong.

He has no reason not to enter the dungeon.

“Does my sister know?”

“I do not know.”

“If my sister knew, I wouldn’t stay still.”

“No matter what you say, I have no intention of changing my resolution.”

At her father’s insistence, Hyunseong hit her sister with SOS.

Choi Hyunseong and Choi Hyun-ji persuaded their parents for three days.

But it was a fluke.

The parents showed no sign of changing their minds.

“Hey, my head hurts.”

At Hyunseong’s words, Lucia asked with a puzzled expression.

“Do you hate it that much?”

“Of course I don’t.”

“I don’t think it’s something to be so blindly opposed to.”

“Yes?”

“Being a player is a huge blessing in these tough times. Ordinary people have no choice but to die when a dimension gate suddenly opens or a monster wave occurs. But the players are different.”

“Yeah, but the odds are pretty low.”

“The odds are bound to go up. Dimensional gates will continue to open, and dangerous monsters will constantly appear.”

There is no such drastic change as the Cataclysm for the time being.

But small changes keep happening.

If the player cannot handle the monster and collapses, the safety of the general public cannot be guaranteed from then on.

As Lucia said, awakening as a player is a huge blessing.

In such a crisis situation, the player who can make minimal preparations has a far greater advantage in the survival competition than the general public who is dying without any countermeasures.

At Lucia’s words, Hyunseong put on a troubled expression.

In the case of Japan alone, the dangers of monsters could be fully recognized.

“Then you mean you have to just sit and watch your father enter the dungeon? Dungeons are dangerous. Lucia knows.”

“Isn’t the master’s strength sure to guarantee your father’s safety?”

At Lucia’s words, Hyunseong was at a loss for words.

It certainly wasn’t wrong.

In fact, with just a ring of protection, a bracelet of exchange, and a scroll for movement, any crises can be overcome.

“Father is already aware of the existence of Elixir. Even if one more secret of the elixir is unlocked, there is no problem. On the contrary, if the father becomes stronger, the burden on the master will be reduced.”

That was correct.

When the father becomes stronger, one of the objects that Hyunseong must protect will decrease.

A father can be a strong shield to protect his family in case of emergency.

‘Let’s think positively.’

Hyunseong made the decision.

No matter how much you object, your father will eventually enter the dungeon.

If he’s going to enter the dungeon anyway, it’s better for him to secure his safety.

Crucially, his father is Hyunseong’s most reliable ally.

Except for special cases such as Baekwoo God or Inukuso, even if he came under his control, he could not hand over an elixir.

But my father is different.

Hyunseong visited the hospital again.

“Whatever you say, I will go.”

Hyunseong smiled bitterly at his father’s words.

“I know. Don’t worry, I’m not here to oppose. Instead, you have to follow what I say from now on, Dad.”

“What are you talking about?”

“As a player, I am a senior father.”

“It is. don’t do that I have no intention of deliberately risking myself.”

Hyunseong’s father, Hyung-gyu Choi, thought his son was trying to teach him something like caution in the dungeon.

“First, accept my offer.”

-You have proposed to the player Hyung-gyu Choi for appointment.

“What is this?”

Dad asked with a puzzled expression.

“Just accept it.”

At Hyunseong’s words, his father eventually accepted the job offer.

-Player Hyung-gyu Choi accepted the job offer.

– 10 Leadership is consumed.

“I don’t know my mom and sister, but I’m a bit of a special player.”

“Looks like that.”

Hyunseong’s family didn’t know what the player Choi Hyunseong was.

He simply judged that he had some place as a player.

It was the same with his father, Choi Hyung-gyu.

He knew that the medicine his son had been getting was special.

But anyway, Choi Hyunseong is a new player who has been awake for less than two years.

He accidentally found out about the existence of the drug, and after that he thought he must have gotten it through all sorts of hardships.

But that doesn’t seem to be it.

“What’s going on from now on is a secret even to my mom and my sister.”

“Don’t do that.”

As soon as his father finished speaking, Hyunseong bought an elixir.

Wrath!

Along with the bright glow, the lowest level strength stat increase elixir was revealed.

“What is this?”

Dad asked with a puzzled expression.A gem suddenly appeared in the air, so I was just embarrassed.

“Try it.”

“Are you going to eat this?”

No matter how you look at it, it didn’t look like it was meant to be eaten.

But that was what his son was saying.

Hyung-gyu Choi put the jewel in his mouth.

The moment it entered your mouth, the jewel melted.

And a strong feeling of pleasure covered my whole body.

He knew instinctively that his power had grown stronger.

“S, did your stats go up?”

The power that was 1 was changed to 2.

“It’s an elixir that raises stats.”

Hyunseong bought another elixir and gave it to his father.

This time, I checked the item information without eating right away.

“Hey, is there such a thing?”

After recovering his health to some extent, Hyung-gyu Choi studied the player.

And he made sure that the player’s life was never easy.

With him, he confirmed that his son had come through great adversity.

I also heard from his wife that he knew Hyunseong was dead during his second cataclysm.

Hearing those words, he decided to go into the dungeon even more.

Hyunseong couldn’t have taken that risk alone.

He wanted to quickly build up his strength and help his son.

He didn’t want his son to go through a life-threatening crisis twice.

The biggest reason Choi Hyung-gyu decided to enter the dungeon was to protect his son.

He wanted to grow up quickly and be with his son.

My son is also a new player who just passed the first year.

Choi Hyung-gyu knew that his stats and skills were quite good.

He thought that if he tried to die, he would soon be able to hunt with his son.

And while hunting together, he was determined to protect with his own life when the life of his son was threatened, as before.

He did, but something was strange.

Hyung-gyu Choi’s son had things that a new player who was only a year old could never have.

“Please eat.”

At Hyunseong’s words, Hyung-gyu Choi was not a bit bewildered.

“Isn’t this a very precious thing?”

Elixir that raises stats.

Although there are limitations, the moment their existence becomes known, there will be no one or two people who will turn their eyes on and run towards them.

“It’s very precious. It’s something that only I can get in this world. But you don’t have to worry. It may not be of much value to other people, but to me.”

For Hyunseong, who had the financial power to purchase items worth hundreds of billions of points, the elixir worth only 5 million points was nothing more than dust.

“Is it only you who can save me?”

“Yeah, that’s why I kept it a secret from my mom and my sister. Even if the existence of the elixir becomes known, there will be a riot.”

“Did you even get the medicine that cured me like this?”

“that’s right.”

“It must have been a very precious thing.”

“It’s something that only me can get. But it wasn’t too expensive.”

“I don’t know what the hell happened.”

“I cannot tell you in detail. You just need to know that I am a special player.”

“Did you eat all of this?”

At Choi Hyung-gyu’s question, Hyunseong gasped and burst into laughter.

“I ate something better than that.”

“I may not eat.”

Choi Hyung-gyu waved his hand.

There was no way these things were worthless.

He went out to help his son, but he didn’t want to burden him for nothing.

“Don’t worry, eat. It’s not really of great value to me.”

Hyunseong bought the Elixir in a row.

In an instant, the elixir began to pile up.

“Hurry up and eat before anyone comes. Once purchased, it is non-refundable. You have to eat it right away and help me.”

Choi Hyung-gyu’s hand began to move when he heard that he couldn’t even get a refund and Hyunseong asked him to help him.

Choi Hyung-gyu, who took all the elixir, looked completely different from before.

Although it is said that his health has been restored, Choi Hyung-gyu, who was skinny, has turned into a strong muscular body.

“It’s amazing.”

Choi Hyung-gyu was also surprised by his changed appearance.

“Learn this too.”

Hyunseong said as he pulled out the skillbooks.

All were ranged attack skillbooks and defense skillbooks.

“You mean just cover from a distance?”

Hyunseong nodded to Choi Hyung-gyu’s question, who checked the skill book.

“Originally, my father’s position was a long-distance dealer.”

“Don’t do that.”Hyung-gyu Choi learned all the skill books.

“Go to the dungeon with the person I designated.”

“Are you talking about Sia?”

Hyunseong shook his head at Choi Hyung-gyu’s question.

“I have one strong tank to protect my father. Go with him.”

“Don’t do that. But can this elixir be eaten by ordinary people?”

“Neither do I. I’ve never tested it. It’s not something that can be tested casually.”

“Seeing that you can learn skill books, I think you can eat these too… … .”

Hyunseong smiled bitterly at his father’s murmuring.

“Do you want to give it to your mother?”

My father nodded at Hyunseong’s question.

“Eating this makes my body feel like flying. 30 years feels younger. I think your mom would like it too.”

“It can’t be. In fact, he wouldn’t even have informed his father about the existence of the Elixir if he hadn’t forgotten that his father had taken the elixir, or that he had gone into the dungeon.”

“Well, there are a lot of people who know about it, so there’s nothing good about it.”

Choi Hyung-gyu meekly accepted Hyunseong’s words.

It’s not because it’s a pity, it’s because they’re concerned about a situation in which the secret could leak and become dangerous.

“Go home tomorrow.”

“Don’t do that. When can I enter the dungeon? Shall we go tomorrow?”

Choi Hyung-gyu was full of enthusiasm.

“First, complete the player academy.”

At Hyunseong’s words, Hyungkyu Choi’s face turned slightly red.

“I was ahead of my mind. I forgot.”

A faint smile formed on Hyunseong’s lips when he saw the shy Choi Hyung-gyu.

* * *

The Japanese government reported Tanaka’s death as a suicide.

The Japanese people believed that Minister Tanaka took his own life out of the burden of failing to properly handle the Kyushu crisis.

Because the media reports have driven public opinion in that direction.

When the biggest person in charge took his own life, the people’s opposition to the government also subsided slightly.

But that was only an external announcement.

Currently, the Japanese government is in a state of shock over the assassination of Minister Tanaka.

“It’s definitely the work of a player with hero-grade stealth skills.”

Prime Minister Akunabe’s expression hardened at the investigator’s report.

“What is the identity of the culprit?”

“I haven’t figured it out yet.”

“How many players in Japan have hero-grade stealth skills?”

“We don’t know exactly because players are reluctant to reveal their skills.”

Whoops!

Prime Minister Akunabe clenched his teeth.

“How dare a player baboon kill a high-ranking government official.”

This was like a challenge to public authority.

The deceased Minister Tanaka was Prime Minister Akunabe’s.

Of course, he was due to be overthrown by blaming the Kyushu crisis sooner or later.

However, his direct dismissal and his assassination by an unknown player were different.

The minister was killed by disguising himself as a suicide.

This meant that other high-ranking officials could also be killed at any time.

There is no law that says the person who killed the minister decisively should not target the prime minister.

“Threefold the vigilance.”

“Yes!”

Prime Minister Akunabe’s head, who ordered the strengthening of the vigilance, turned violently.

Why the hell did the player get rid of Secretary Tanaka and his closest aides?

It is by no means a simple assassination.

It was an act for political gain.

‘Did you think I might not fire Minister Tanaka?’

It might be.

‘The opposition parties are making a lot of noise.’

Opposition parties were fiercely protesting that Tanaka’s suicide could not cover the incompetence of the Akunabe government.

In fact, the opposition party did not have a significant presence in Japanese politics.

However, with the Kyushu crisis as an opportunity, his presence was gradually growing.

‘Is this what the opposition parties do? Or is it the work of another faction within the party?’

Prime Minister Akunabe had too many enemies.

Of course, the power of those enemies was quite insignificant.

‘I don’t know who did it, but I’m sure it’s one of them.’

Prime Minister Akunabe’s eyes were stained with dark flesh.

‘I won’t let it go.’

Don’t know who the enemy is?

Then wipe it all away.

“Who is currently in charge of the secret agents?”

Prime Minister Akunabe asked his secretary.

“All of the superiors have died, so now Inukuso will be temporarily in charge.”“Are you talking about Osaka’s hero?”

“Yes that’s right.”

You can trust Inukuso.

Because he was Minister Tanaka’s right-hand man and a player belonging to his own faction.

He’s probably feeling strong anger at the assassination of his boss.

He was, as such, the most qualified person to carry out this task.

“Call him secretly. I have something to direct you.”

“all right.”

* * *

Hyunseong returned to her normal daily life again.

Hyunseong and Lucia went around the dungeon and increased their titles one by one.

My father entered the Player Academy, and Baek Woo-shin diligently increased his titles.

One day when I was living my normal life, I got a call from Inukuso.

– Master, this is Inukuso.

“What’s going on?”

Hyunseong asked Inukuso.

Hyunseong did not specifically assign additional duties to Inukuso.

From Inukuso’s point of view, it’s enough to enjoy freedom until Hyunseong’s instructions come down.

He wouldn’t need to contact Hyunseong in the first place.

-Meet Prime Minister Akunabe.

“what brings you here?”

In response to Hyunseong’s question, Inukuso met Prime Minister Akunabe and began to explain the instructions he had heard.

Hearing Inukuso’s story, Hyunseong was stunned.

Prime Minister Akunabe properly crossed his legs.

Prime Minister Akunabe said Inukuso had been tasked with fabricating allegations of corruption by hostile factions within the party and opposition parties.

-Finally, we plan to disguise suicide and eliminate it.

It was Prime Minister Akunabe’s will to return what he received.

“Did you entrust it to you?”

-Yes, of the players currently in Prime Minister Akunabe’s faction, I have the most trust.

Hyunseong was amazing.

It was Inukuso who assassinated Minister Tanaka and his closest aides.

But to entrust such Inukuso to retaliation for the assassination of Minister Tanaka.

“You seem to have quite a bit of trust.”

– It’s like that. The reason I have been appointed to lead the operation to kidnap my master is because government officials do not trust other secret agents.

“That’s right.”

From Hyunseong’s point of view, it was the moment when a hand picked by chance was transformed into the best hand.

Of course, from the standpoint of hostile factions and opposition parties within the party that have nothing to do with the assassination of Minister Tanaka, it would be crazy and pounding.

Because their lives will be blown away in retaliation for something they didn’t do.

But that wasn’t Hyunseong’s concern.

– How will you act?

Hyunseong pondered for a moment at Inukuso’s question.

There is a way to spread this fact to hostile factions and opposition parties within the party, and another way is to build trust by thoroughly following Prime Minister Akunabe’s instructions.

“First, build trust by following Prime Minister Akunabe’s instructions. If possible, increase your power in the Players Association or the Dimensional Gate Management Department.”

– All right, Master.

“Oh, and have you been to America well?”

– We went safely. Thanks to the medicine the master gave me, my daughter was cured. I sincerely thank you for your great grace.

“Is she planning to bring her daughter to Japan?”

-no. I plan to continue living in the United States with my wife in the future.

It was a good choice.

What Inukuso did was never safe.

If only the truth about the assassination of Minister Tanaka is revealed right now, he will face a major crisis.

There was nothing good to know about the fact that Inukuso’s daughter had suddenly recovered.

“It would be better to hide the fact that her daughter is cured.”

– I intend to do that. For now, to avoid suspicion, we plan to continue to remit large amounts of treatment costs as before.

“Let me do that.”

It wasn’t a bad idea, just in case Inukuso went wrong.

Hyunseong had no intention of taking away the money that Inukuso had earned through hard work.

“And there is no need to contact me unless there is a major incident that could affect me or Korea in the future. Everything is arbitrarily judged and moved.”

– I will.

With those words, the call with Inukuso ended.

‘I don’t have to worry too much about it.’

It was not for Hyunseong to care about how Japan’s political world was going.

Although he gave Inukuso instructions to increase his power, he didn’t expect much.

He just said so, thinking that he must have some authority to be convenient to use in case of emergency.

However, there was one thing Hyunseong overlooked.

The point was that Inukuso was a very talented person.

It was not for nothing that Minister Tanaka and Prime Minister Akunabe trusted Inukuso for nothing.

Inukuso was a master of the arts, who knew better than anyone how to be trusted by his superiors and how to be supported by his subordinates.

Then, following Hyunseong’s instructions, he began to move to increase his power in earnest.
