Maxed Out Leveling Novel

Chapter 79

nerve warfare (1)

When the roof door is opened, the smell of blood is mixed in the wind and blown away.

The epicenter is, needless to say, from a man lying miserably in the middle of the roof.

It smelled familiar, but familiarity doesn’t necessarily mean it’s good. She had not reached the stage of enjoying the smell of blood, and she had no intention of ever reaching it.

Lee Ji-hye, who raised her fine eyebrows slightly, moved her steps.

The closer she gets, the stronger the smell of her blood gets.

And a faint resonance that started as we entered a certain distance. The air force filling her body trembled slightly. It was the reaction of Cheonjo Muwon Deep Gong who met his fellow classmate.

“… The resonance is very weak.”

She took her luck.

Of course, I didn’t mean to say that to the man who had collapsed.

“Are you dying? Oh, you’ve abolished martial arts.”

“Because it’s the best way to keep me from doing my best.”

Cha Shin Hyeon, who was next to the man, said calmly.

Literally, Lee Ji-hye muttered as she looked closely at the man who was only breathing.

“Is this a returnee from China?”

“They said wee-hai.”

“Not like Gaolin last time, I’ve never even heard of the name Weihai. Was the purpose also Gaolin’s revenge?”

“Rather than emotional revenge, I think he thought I was a stumbling block. I don’t know what the heck he’s doing to get rid of me.”

No matter how hard he tried to force Weihai, he couldn’t figure it out. Because Wei Hi did not come to kill Cha Shin Hyeon by making his own judgment, but because he came under the direction of his superiors.

“The problem is that these guys are not exposed at all. In fact, have you never even heard of a guild called Cheonjo?”

“It was. After I found out, I heard nothing but laughter.”

Lee Ji-hye made her laugh.

I don’t know if it’s from the Goddess of Heaven or the Spirit of Heaven, but it’s not too obvious that the name of the guild where the returnees are gathered is Cheonjo. For those who don’t know, I’m not impressed.

“The guild is hidden, and the guild members are also covered in veils. It feels like a secret society dreaming of conquering Moorim in the dark?”

“It seems to me that I have already conquered it. At least you seem to have the power to control the Chinese hunter industry from behind. So it’s a tough opponent.”

Revealed targets are easy to hit.

The reason why Seo Joong-hyeon, Gao-lin, and Wei-hai were able to sell the trap aimed at Cha Shin Hyeon was because Cha Shin Hyeon was an exposed existence. Skills were hidden.

However, it is not easy to deal with hidden targets, no matter what their actual abilities are. It is a cumbersome task to have to pull it out to a bright place first.

“Well, by the way.”

Lee Ji-hye carefully opened her mouth.

“ Doesn’t Cha Shin Hyeon have the ability to control the minds of others?”

“It’s more like coercion than manipulation. Why?”

“Then you must have extracted enough information from Gaolin and Weihai last time. Seeing that you even understood the organizational chart of the guild called Cheonjo, you must have known about the leader. is not it?”

“right.”

“Then, wouldn’t it be resolved if we just flew to China and cut off the head?”

It was Lee Ji-hye who suggested a simple and ignorant solution for fear that someone was not an assassin.But it’s not ignorant nonsense. She was a sincere offer.

There were a total of five Chinese returnees I heard from Cha Shin Hyeon. Two of them died, so there are only three left.

The level of Gaolin or Weihai was not much different from that of herself. With the remaining three, she doesn’t seem to have a particularly high level of skill.

She’s already seen Cha Shin Hyeon send her five high-ranking hunters into the other world in one blow in Taebaek Dungeon. She wasn’t even a martial artist, it was magic, and yet she didn’t consume any power.

Can the three returnees beat Cha Shin Hyeon no matter how much drumming they play? Lee Ji-hye was very skeptical.

“If it could have been that simple, I wouldn’t even have said I’m a tricky opponent,” she said.

Cha Shin Hyeon let out a light sigh.

“They don’t even know where the Cheonjo Guild Head is.”

“Yes?”

“It means that he is not the type to build a stronghold like a palace and live there. Of course, Cheonjo also has a guild headquarters and branches all over China, but it seems that the guild chief’s family didn’t even tell the highest-ranking officials.”

“… He seems to be the type of person who beats and crosses the stone bridge until it cracks. After all, the fact that even the executives were banned from it is the typical image of a leader of a dark force.”

“Actually, except for the guild leader, the four executives are just you and Park Tae-hoon. Strong, but not dangerous. However, the guild leader of the Cheonjo is a guy who is good at law, and I haven’t seen anyone with a straight mind compared to someone who plays with people.”

Well, he’s a dangerous guy or whatever, he’s from another country anyway, so he wouldn’t have cared at all if he had been without contact.

However, because of Park Tae-hoon, he got into conflict with Cheonjo, and even after Gaolin’s death, he sent Wei Hai to try to get rid of him.

Now he has come to a point where he won’t quit over there, even if he quits.

He had to deal with the danger he was targeting and move on. Cha Shin Hyeon herself is fine, but when she starts touching her surroundings, she gets very tired.

“And you can’t just hit your head just because you pulled it out of the sun. It must have something to do with the Chinese government.”

“Actually, we also have a relationship with the political world. There’s no law that says you can’t say that.”

“Dawn and twilight are yangban compared to the heavenly dynasty.”

Cha Shin Hyeon shook his head.

“Yes?”

“The Chen Cao and the Chinese government are not just collaborating, they are cooperating very organically. It’s not just about taking care of each other’s convenience. It’s like a united body.”

“then… Are you saying that Chen Cao is a servant of the Chinese government?”

“Well. Could it be the other way around?”

A bribe can be refused, but a refusal does not work in law. It literally turns into a puppet.

With a steel-like will, can you withstand mind control? It’s not impossible. The willpower that ordinary people can only have is mana, even though it is against the adversaries of the law that can even impose a psychic prohibition system.

Lee Ji-hye said worriedly.

“The situation is more serious than I thought.”

“I didn’t just ask you for help. That’s why it’s a headache when politics starts to intervene.”

Cha Shin Hyeon grunted.

There was no need to worry about this in Moorim.

Kwan (官) and Moorim were basically inviolable. Would you say that they hate each other? Because there was nothing good about touching it, I turned off my nerves and lived my life.

Since the stage of activities was limited to the world of Jungwon, the concept of another country did not interfere with it. There were times when there were conflicts with the clans outside Saeoe, but it was still a matter of clans versus clans.

But modern society is different.

As the relationship between countries is close enough to be true of the global era, conflicts with hunters from other countries can lead to problems between countries.

“If it doesn’t work out, there is a last resort.”

“Yes? What is it?”

“If the opponent applies political pressure, this is a threat with force. Before you kill them all, take care of yourself.”

“uh… … .”

Lee Ji-hye had a blank expression on her face.

“Are you serious?”

“If you don’t listen to it no matter what, you have to do it anyway. In fact, in terms of efficiency, this is easy and simple, isn’t it? There are very few people who do not succumb to violence.”

Cha Shin Hyeon said sternly.

“But this is a last resort. There’s no way I’d like to beat up and intimidate others to deal with serious issues. It’s not even a choreographer.”

“that… Yes.”

“Anyway, no matter how you deal with it, it’s a fact that you have to get him out first. He’ll have to pull him out, so he’ll either be slaughtered or killed. Is there any coordination with the special forces?”

“Ah yes.”

Lee Ji-hye, who had cleared her mind, nodded her head.

After finding out that she was followed by Heungshinso, Cha Shin Hyeon asked Lee Ji-hye for some support.

Temporary detention of the presidents of other entertainment centers, except for the Speed ​​Force Heungsinso, which was left for bait.

After catching Liu Wei, the broadcasting team of the Yeomyeong side requested dispatch to the hotel where the cancer squadron was staying.

And the smooth cooperation of the special forces.

“Aside from the crude video filmed by the citizens, all CCTV footage will be deleted, and they must be collecting the bodies of the members of the Cancer Squadron by now. The autopsy results will also be manipulated appropriately. By the way, I got a call saying that one of them was alive.”

“My name is Zhoufeng, and I am the leader of the Black Squadron. We need to leave at least one person who can take out the transcript, so that it can be used as evidence.”

“As proof that you were attacked by Chinese hunters?”

“okay. The important thing here is the ‘question’ part. We don’t even have to open our mouths. Just a little leak to the press will expand and reproduce it on its own.”

Cha Shin Hyeon grinned.

“I hope you realize it before I lose even the two remaining executives. It’s a situation where you have no choice but to go out on your own.”

* * *

The man was staring at the monitor screen with an expressionless face with his chin clenched.

“… … .”

As he reads the report, his eyes gradually turn cold.

I’ve been feeling some anxiety for a few days.

From the time Wei Hi, to be precise, the cancer squadron he took with him reported on a regular basis every day, saying, “I suddenly lost contact with those who were following Cha Shin Hyeon.”

Men know best how thoroughly the cancer squadrons were raised. Because he raised more than half.

The mistake was made by the Koreans hired by the cancer squadron, not the cancer squadron members.

So, I just gave him an order to be more careful. He may have been caught just because of that, so how could he give a cowardly order to withdraw?

However, there was no follow-up report.

Instead, the regular reporting itself was cut off.

The next day, the man immediately ordered his men. He asked me to collect and bring all the relevant materials.

It didn’t take long for the first information to arrive.

This is because Korean media outlets were so excited that they both wrote articles about the incident.

[Blood battle in broad daylight in downtown Seoul… … .][ Cha Shin Hyeon, under a mysterious attack in broad daylight… … .]There were differences between the media outlets, but in general this was the content. The focus was on ‘attack’.

Dozens of related videos have already been uploaded on famous video sites.

It was taken in a hurry with a smartphone and the distance was so far, so the quality was not satisfactory, but I could confirm the fact that two people were fighting fiercely.

If Cha Shin Hyeon had died, he would have been a special writer, but seeing that he didn’t, the victory or defeat could be guessed.

However, there was also no article stating that the assailant had died. The fight was lost, but maybe he succeeded in getting rid of his body, the man harbored a glimmer of hope.

His expectations were crushed and ended in one day.

[Isn’t there one assailant? The actual number of people is much higher][Twenty people were mobilized… … .][The assassins who overpowered the high-ranking hunter… Cha Shin Hyeon, in treatment]

Starting with Cha Shin Hyeon’s victory, the exact result, such as boiling or getting seriously injured, was Junggu Heating, but one thing was certain.

If I had succeeded in getting out of my body, a request for help should have come sooner.

He was supposed to be dead, both in Weihai and in Amjeon.

And again, two days later, today.

Eventually, an article came up that made a man grab his neck.

[Special police, assassins 1st background check result announcement… “Using a Chinese passport” (official)][The assassins who entered through Incheon Airport… hole-in-the-wall security measures][“China’s conspiracy” VS “Only using loopholes” netizens on fire]

The worst has happened.

“under.”

The man chuckled.

It’s not enough that the assassination failed, so your identity is revealed. It was only known that he came from China, but that alone was fatal. Because I am suspicious of having a Chinese passport.

It was hard to believe that the Black Squadron had made a mistake that even a beginner would not have made.

However, the black squadron, the object of the rebuke, no longer exists in the world. So did Wei Hai, who was in charge of the assassination.

‘Yeah, don’t admit it.’

The man bit his lip.

‘It’s not a good opponent to fight while taking the penalty.’

The power that Gaolin took was too much to say, and Wei Hai’s power was even higher than that. He thought Cha Shin Hyeon would be around for a long time.

However, I do not know if the strategy of the elite few did not work, or it may be because of the unpredictable environment of another country, but as a result, it failed twice.

As a result, Cheonjo was not the only one who suffered a lot of damage. We’ve come too far to let each other go.

‘then.’

No matter what the variables were, failure was an obvious failure. It happened where the man couldn’t get his hands on it, and there was no guarantee that he would succeed if he tried again.

So change the environment.

In a place where you can predict and control everything, prepare thoroughly to catch the bastard. This time, I can’t get out.

[We got information that a high-definition video of the battle scene was uploaded for a while and then was taken down at the request of the site. We will report the video as soon as we get it.]

The man’s eyes gleaming with sympathy as he reads the postscript at the end of the report.

‘I’m on my own.’

He didn’t realize that the bait Cha Shin Hyeon sowed faithfully served.
