Returning to the room, Tae-jung called Se-ah Park and asked.

“You, but why were you doing that earlier?”

“What?”

“Choi Da-som. Are you saying anything bad? Why were you so downhearted?”

“no. There was nothing like that. It just seems like a tall person. Because you say you’re a friend of the boss.”

“Then you should be more confident, you are like my face. There’s nothing special about coming here. You are not the one to make mistakes. You can do it as usual. As usual. shoulder up. Do you see what I mean?”

“yes!”

“great. That’s how you are.”

“By the way, from what I heard earlier, it seems that the situation is not good… What do you think will happen?”

“I’ll have to go and see, but if Dasomi’s words are true, then it’s a misfire, well. This is a unanimous opinion. Of course, if that happens, the bullying behavior of those thugs will only get worse.”

“Is there any countermeasure?”

“No, not now. One place is too much, but there is nothing to say about two places. But it doesn’t matter. No matter what they do, you can come back later by boat.”

Currently, the biggest reason why Jenix was helplessly defeated by the two guilds was the absence of a high level.

Superpowers who can destroy the anti-magic defense and turn a middle-ranking guild into a mess.

Because the fighting power of these individuals was comparable to the disaster level, the difference between existence and non-existence was as great as the sky and the earth.

Currently, there is one high-level hunter in Invincible and Golden Lion, and their number is less than 50 throughout Korea.

This means that the influence is also very large.

There was only one answer to overturn this overwhelming power difference.

To press down with a force stronger than them.

In order to do that, I had to make good use of this time given now.

‘Anyway, the negotiations are a failure. What matters is the quest. Now that I’ve come this far, I have to get out somehow.’

While Tae-jung was focusing all her attention on the quest, Sae-ah Park, who had noticed, opened her mouth secretly.

“But he was the one.”

“uh? what? The most som?”

“yes. Wasn’t that boss a lover in the past?”

“why? Did it look like that?”

“That’s how his eyes look at the boss.”

“okay? I don’t know. It’s true that we met a long time ago. But now we are friends.”

“Really?”

“Then what is fake? Surely I am not writing a third-rate novel about betraying the guild because of an old lover?”

“It can’t be. I only… … .”

“but?”

“no.”

“Singy. I’m going to close my eyes for a while. Wake me up if anything happens.”

“yes.”

Seeing him lying on the sofa and trying to sleep, Park Se-ah recalled what happened with Choi Da-som a while ago.

Choi Da-som still couldn’t forget Yoo Tae-jeong.

Her eyes, the tone of her voice, and the trembling of her body.

That feeling was vividly conveyed to Park Se-ah, and a sense of crisis came from the other side of the abyss.

She didn’t even know exactly what it was.

I just wanted to be with him for a long time.

I wanted to become a closer person.

That’s all, and in that painting, Dasom Choi came as a threatening being.

So confused.

I don’t know what this feeling is.

Ding-dong.

30 minutes after Taejeong fell asleep.

The bell rang.

“who are you?”

“I am a guide. Please come out to the lobby.”

Park Se-ah woke up Tae-jung, leaving behind him who left after giving a brief notice.

Then, as if he had fallen asleep, he opened his eyes right away and muttered as he stretched out.

“Do you want to come?”

“yes. Please come out to the lobby. It seems to be leaving for the conference room.”

“Are we finally meeting? Whoops. Then let’s go see where they came from and how they ate.”

When I went out to the lobby, the executives were showing up one by one.

“now. When everyone is gathered, we will board the bus.”

Following the leader’s words, people boarded the bus, and when Tae-jeong and Park Se-ah got on at the very end, the bus started to depart.

Taejeong, who sat down like that, opened her mouth to Gerard in a quiet voice.

“Are you scanning everything?”

-Yes. master.

“great. Everything that can be contained must be contained without omission. Everything, even the little things. Do you see what I mean?”

-All right.

Tae-jeong had b6-1 floating in the air just before getting on the bus.

I couldn’t see it right away, but Gerard would remember it, and the image would later be viewed through the aircraft.

Maybe fifteen minutes passed like that.

The bus, which had been slowing down, stopped and the people started to get off.

“Well.”

The place where they got off was surprisingly an urban area lined with buildings.

A scale comparable to that of the central district of Xenix and the resulting huge floating population.

I don’t know where, but seeing several large buildings, it looked like an office area with institutions.

“This is it. Everyone please follow me in two lines.”

At the leader’s words, people entered the large building in front of them.

All the nameplates and names that could have been hidden were hidden.

The Jenix executives reached the 15th floor by taking the elevator like that.

Upon entering the special conference hall, the farthest room, the images of officials from the other side already gathered caught my eye.

They glanced at them and sat down in the seats with their names on them.

Taejeong’s seat was right next to the guild leader.

On the left is a golden lion and invincibility. On the right is Jennix.

The table of honor was empty, but shortly after they arrived a man came in and took his seat.

“Nice to meet you all. This is Moo-hyeok Choi, the head of the Hansan-do Policy Department. There is no need to stand up separately, and this is a peaceful negotiation meeting at the request of both sides, so please respect the courtesy and manners. As a mere observer, I will not intervene unless there is an armed conflict. Then we will begin.”

At his words, the secretaries stood aside to write notes.

The first to speak was Yang Tae-shik, the head of the Zenix Guild.

“first. I would like to express my gratitude to Hansando for coming all the way here at my request. So, let me speak first. First of all, as the guild leader who runs the guild, I feel fully responsible for this incident. For that, I would like to sincerely apologize to the masters of the two guilds here.”

Despite the polite apology with a light nod, they just kept snoring with their arms crossed.

An expected reaction.

But seeing it in person was a different matter.

A few people below the engineering chief clenched their fists and trembled.

It was the same for Taejeong, who was watching right beside him.

However, unlike them, Yang Tae-sik gestured toward the aide next to him as if he had nothing to do with it.

Then he came out with a small box.

The only item permitted to be brought in here.

Inside it was the Silver Crown, a rare magic stone that could only come out for sale once every five years.

When the box was opened, a silver crown with an intense silver color was revealed.

“That… … .”

“It’s the Silver Crown.”

“It’s the first time I’ve actually seen it. Where did I come from?”

When a few people reacted, Tae-shik pushed the box and opened his mouth.

“This is a glowstone in our guild. It is a magic stone called Silver Crown in the world. Although it is small, I brought it as a means of reconciliation, so I hope you will accept it with a generous heart.”

Choi Cheol-ho, the master of the Golden Lion Guild, who had been leaning on his chair all along at Tae-shik’s words, let go of his back and spat out the words.

“I think you are misunderstanding something. This case is not something that can be solved with one such insignificant item.”

“I know. It’s just… … .”

“I will not take it. We, the Golden Lion and the Invincible, almost went to war because of what they did there. I’m sure the head of a mid-sized organization won’t understand what you mean when you say that two top tier guilds are about to go to war. It is a value that cannot be converted into money. I say it straight-forward without wasting time. There is only one thing we want. Hand over the culprits who caused this. Then I will close the case and get out of all the business in which I am involved.”

It was as expected.

What Dasom Choi said was true.

“That is impossible. What kind of absurd request is it to ask for a guild member not because of an actual dispute, but because of a battle in the territory?”

Those were the words of an air commander who could not stand it.

Looking at him like that, the invincible Jo Young-min opened his mouth this time.

“Hey, it seems you don’t understand something.”

“understanding? You have to understand to understand. Wouldn’t it be incomprehensible to bring the work of Yeongjijeon outside?”

“If it’s like that, there are many examples even if it’s not us.”

“So is that even a law? To me, it just doesn’t look like shit. It’s what small people do.”

As the words heated up, Lee Gyeong-hyun, the leader of the 1st engineering team of the Invincible Guild, shouted and stood up.

“You bastard! It’s hard to say. How dare the chief of engineering talk such nonsense to the guild leader. Have you given me no manners?”

“huh. He’s not even our Master, so why am I?”

“what!?”

In an instant, the inside sank heavily.

If you give an order, you will immediately jump out.

Cha Moo-hyeok was about to intervene in the heated atmosphere, but Yang Tae-shik was a little faster.

“What are you doing? sit down.”

“But do I have to keep listening to these ridiculous demands?”

“sit down. why but really please.”

Yang Tae-sik, who sat down with the excited engineering chief, asked Choi Chul-ho again.

“What will happen if we don’t accept that request?”

“You should give me something else.”

“Tell me.”

“Give me the Pyeongchang complex or the Jecheon factory. oh There are two of us, so if you give each of them one, I think it will be neatly organized. Well, at least we are willing to make some concessions, how about that? Is the author worth that much?”

When Choi Chul-ho said that while looking at Tae-jeong, he reflexively tried to get up.

It was because I couldn’t bear it.

However, Tae-shik grabbed his arm.

‘Don’t say anything.’

‘However.’

‘You know. There’s nothing that can be solved by you stepping out of this situation.’

He put his butt back on Tae-shik, who shook his head, and continued to watch the negotiations with an uncomfortable feeling.

And it was the same for all guild members.

Personnel staff and strategy department heads came up with several alternative agendas, but it was difficult to turn back their minds that had already been decided.

The morning meeting, which lasted about two hours, collapsed spectacularly.

“We have clearly conveyed our meaning, so we look forward to good news. Enjoy your meal and see you in the afternoon.”

Various sighs followed behind those who had left the conference room.

“under. me really It’s a disgrace to be mingling with people like that.”

“I heard it beforehand, but I didn’t expect that he would make such a request… … .”

“Isn’t it pointless to try more? It would be good to go back.”

When negative words came out here and there, Taejeong stood up and apologized.

“sorry. Just because of me… … .”

“What kind of weak talk is that? You did well.”

“okay. Don’t have that mindset itself.”

“If this is your fault, I will cut off one of my wrists.”

“But, if possible, I should have smashed a few more. with the bad guys. Tsk tsk. Little bastards with only two castles.”

Everyone was in an atmosphere of support for him.

so i’m more sorry

His eyes were cold.

‘these guys. Let’s see. I will definitely pay for this injustice of today.’
