Max Gil blankly read the appraisal in his hand over and over again.

He's been running the black market for a long time, and he's seen tons of items, but this was the first time.

It's an item that grants a title!

Besides, that title was what he really needed.

Because it was a title that made you level 1.

In other words, it is a title that makes ordinary people into awakening.

It was the very thing that Max-gil was looking for. The thing that will make him an Awakened.

He did expect Kang Ha-jin to have it. That's why I sent a shadow.

But when I saw it with my own eyes, greed arose like fire.

There is no way to stop this greed now.

Except to get that stuff. No, you don't even need to get stuff. Hajin Kang only needs to write it once for himself.

Max Gil was in trouble. It was because of the suggestion Kang Ha-jin threw.

Instead of giving Choi Dae-gil a title, Kang Ha-jin asked him to use the power of the black market to prevent this Japanese dungeon raid.

It wasn't something that just had to be done.

Hajin Kang stipulated very specific conditions. It was as if they knew how much power the black market had.

Of course, he didn't seem to understand everything. However, this would require devoting a significant portion of the black market's power to Japan.

At other times, the proposal would have been kicked out without much thought, but the situation is different now.

The maximum road lasted several hours and repeated thought and calculations.

For each thought and calculation, he read the appraisal once.

“A journey of a thousand li starts with one step.”

Max Gill nodded his head in a moment.

"right. The first step is absolutely necessary.”

Maybe the answer was already there from the beginning anyway.

Choi Dae-gil remembered the things he had safely stored in his dungeon vault.

A treasure that will bring back his youth.

Even with the treasure that fixed the body age to the desired time, freed from all diseases, and raised to the best potential for growth, I couldn't take even a single step, so I was just looking around like a cake in the picture.

There is a condition that you have to raise the level to 30, but you can only raise it while walking around level 30.

Because he has a lot of equipment and countless subordinates to support him.

Perhaps the opportunity has now come to grow into not just a master of the black market, but an awakening giant who dominates the underworld.

No, it certainly will be.

After he read his appraisal for the last time, Max Gil burned it.

He made a decision.

* * *

Those who coveted the huge reward offered by the Japanese government decided to advance into Japan one after another.

And, once decided, a flight was prepared in an instant to quickly transport the awakened people to Japan.

This was not only happening in Korea.

Awakened people from all over the world decided to advance to Japan, and the government at the level of the government prepared flights and carried them diligently.

However, in Korea, the atmosphere has especially heated up.

Because there were those who encouraged the atmosphere to heat up. And as they moved to the Awakened Management Office with their lobby, the atmosphere was never going to cool down.

However, compared to how hot it was, there were not that many Awakened people who actually crossed over to Japan.

Of course, it was still a lot compared to other countries, but considering the atmosphere, it was a bit strange.

Cho Won-young, the successor of the Je-young group, read the atmosphere sensitively.

Jo Won-young returned to Korea for a short time. So he did not get involved in the Japanese situation right away.

I was in the midst of laying my groundwork in Japan and I was just about to start, but suddenly something happened and I was so annoyed right now.

But it was on the verge of an explosion when this kind of thing happened again before the irritation was completely resolved.

In front of Cho Won-young, the group's Awakened Persons Management Office and Information Office Head bowed with dazed expressions.

Since the two were filmed through a big mistake in the past, they couldn't get their spirits up when they only met Jo Won-young.

“I have to prove the incompetence of the two of you like this once again.”

"Sorry."

Both answered at the same time.

“I didn't come here to hear that. I came here to ask for a solution. So what are you going to do now?”

The head of information answered cautiously.

“For now, rumors continue to circulate. Information about dungeons that appeared in Japan was manipulated and scattered here and there. I think we will see tangible results soon.”

“Are you sure?”

"Yes?"

“I thought we could achieve our goal by just manipulating the dungeon information and spraying it.”

“We are also preparing a large-scale advertisement.”

Jo Won-young snorted.

“Ha! advertising? Are you saying that our Jeyoung group is going to openly advertise that they are pro-Japanese?”

“Oh, no. We didn’t do it that way, but we did it by creating another raid and recruiting temporary members of that raid.”

“Isn’t it a raid that has nothing to do with our group?”

"Yes. It was difficult to recruit. The link is thoroughly managed, so there is never a risk of leaking out. I have prepared in advance so that I can cut it off if I leave the car.”

“That’s good.”

“We plan to advertise safety by significantly increasing the size of the raid. Once safety is assured, there will be more support for sure.”

“There is a lot to eat, so if safety is guaranteed, it will move a lot. It's something I've been wanting to do for a while. We will keep watching.”

The head of the information office bent 90 degrees.

"Thank you! We will do our best to live up to your expectations.”

Jo Won-young, who watched the scene happily, asked another question.

“But this time, it doesn’t seem natural, what do you two think?”

“We think so too. It is clear that there is an organizational disturbance.”

“Did you know what these guys are?”

“For once, Dungeon Breaker is for sure. The level of work they do together is beyond what a Dungeon Breaker can do alone.”

Jo Won-young frowned.

“Dungeon Breaker? Hwang Soo-young? There's really nothing wrong with that. Let's leave it there for now. After all, all I have to do is say a few words to the Small and Medium Guild Alliance.”

Dungeon Breakers are like rubber balls that do not know where to bounce. So, the answer was to just leave it alone.

If you touch it, it will get louder.

“Then what else did you find out about that?”

“The movement of the A-market is also a bit unusual.”

Jo Won-young frowned.

“Isn’t that even though there is a branch in Japan?”

“So I thought it was a bit strange, so I’m digging a bit more.”

“Don't keep digging, bring results. You know we don't have much time now, right?"

"Yes. Let’s do it as soon as possible.”

“Oh, and what about the dark-town guys we worked with in the past?”

“It’s the same as usual.”

“It looks like the garbage is doing garbage. Try to figure out a way to send them to Japan too.”

"Yes. We will take action immediately.”

So the meeting ended.

Jo Won-young frowned as she watched the two of them go out with some uncertainty.

Lately, there have been many times when I have been so anxious that my heart is pounding.

It was the anxiety that started when the plan was futilely thwarted by the sudden death of the former Ji Chang-gi.

It was exacerbated by a major failure in bringing in the black market to contain the A-market.

And today, for some reason, I was much more anxious than any other day.

Jo Won-young looked out his window.

A panoramic view of the city caught my eye.

Not so long ago, he thought that all of that would come into his hands, but now those thoughts and expectations are disappearing like a mirage.

“Block it. I block it nicely and I eat Japan.”

And I will come back to Korea and occupy this road.

Jo Won-young's eyes darkened.

* * *

The Guardian's headquarters and the conference room connected to Ha-jin Kang's office.

A meeting was held a long time ago.

The participants were Ha-jin Kang, In-hyeok Myeong, and Kyung-min Yoon.

Hwang Soo-young and Jung A-yeon also decided to come soon.

After all, they were in a boat with the Guardians.

“Our meetings always start out like this.”

Yoon Kyung-min grumbled and shook his head. In the past, there have been several times when the three of them had a meeting while waiting for Hwang Soo-young and Jeong A-yeon.

“Isn’t it a good thing to have a meeting in the first place? You just have to be firm about what you have to say and finish it.”

Because it was true, Yoon Kyung-min had no choice but to nod his head in the end.

“Come on, let’s start the meeting.”

As soon as Ha-jin Kang’s words ran out, Kyung-min Yoon started pouring out the words.

“Once we established a distribution network separate from A-Market. The Korean side seems to work well, but the foreign side still needs more verification.”

Finally, we are ready to get out of the A-market.

Of course, I had no intention of breaking up with A-Market right away. As long as Jeong A-yeon doesn't turn the back of the head, I was thinking of continuing the strategic alliance.

The huge power of the A-market can be really powerful depending on how you use it.

However, for that to happen, the A-market cannot be like this. Once inside, you have to kill all the enemies.

“Did A-yeon Jeong help you on the foreign side?”

"Yeah. They have been very cooperative.”

The fact that A-Yeon Jung helped means that A-Market did not oppose the opening of the Guardian's distribution network.

It may not be positive, but it seems that Jeong A-yeon actively appealed to the fact that the items distributed by the Guardians hardly overlap with the A-market.

And Kang Ha-jin was now very closely connected with A-Market.

The royalties of the potions and the fangs of Remono, the material of reinforcement stones.

“And the special equipment that Dong-Hoon Dong led and is being produced is almost ready. It will probably be quite noisy once the sale starts.”

Yoon Kyung-min said so and laughed. It was kind of a mischievous smile.

Yoon Kyung-min, who had been smiling like that, suddenly turned bright and looked at Kang Ha-jin.

He was so terrified that he changed his expression so quickly.

“Things are going so smoothly, but there is one thing that still doesn’t work.”

Kang Ha-jin blew a cold sweat and secretly avoided Yoon Kyung-min's gaze.

“Obviously, the Master promised before, didn’t he?”

When Ha-jin Kang couldn't answer, Kyung-min Yoon tilted her head.

“Am I remembering wrong? You clearly promised that you would prepare everything so that you could produce the subspace, and before that, you clearly promised that you would prepare various prototypes as well...”

Yoon Kyung-min spread out both hands.

“I don’t have anything like this on my hands.”

I could feel the pressure of Yoon Kyung-min's eyes all over my body.

“When Japan is finished, we will talk again then. It’s time to subtract right now……”

“Then please. Now, is this what I'm asking you to do? It's all for our guild. If the Master sets an example, shouldn’t everyone believe and follow him?”

Kyung-min Yoon changed the same word to another word and said it over and over again, and Ha-jin Kang had to answer that he would know several times.

He vowed to himself several times that he would never break his promise next time.

Kang Ha-jin, who barely escaped from Yoon Kyung-min's nagging, quickly looked at Myung In-hyuk.

Myung In-hyuk smiled warmly at the appearance of Kang Ha-jin and Yoon Kyung-min, and then tried to start reporting.

But then Hwang Soo-young and Jeong A-yeon arrived.

Anyway, the report that Myung In-hyuk was going to do was about Japan, so it was more convenient for the two of them to join and then report.

A simple greeting was exchanged, and as Jeong A-yeon and Hwang Soo-young sat down, Myung In-hyuk started reporting.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

“Jo Won-young has arrived.”

Hajin Kang's eyes lit up.

“The Jeyoung group is moving with the intention to send the Awakened to Japan.”

“Is it Jo Won-young who is leading it?”

"Yeah. The Taeyang Attack, which is noisy with commercials these days, is exactly what the Jeyoung group created.”

Hearing this, the four of them were shocked at the same time.

“Is that the raid team made by the Jaeyoung group?”

"Yeah. Yes."

In fact, the Sun Raid was a relatively new raid.

The concept of the raid itself was born little by little after the disaster, so the history could not be long.

However, they suddenly grew in size and prepared for an expedition to Japan by mobilizing large-scale advertisements, so everyone watched with suspicion.

In many places, every effort has been made to get behind them. But the more I dig, the more nothing comes out.

It was the same with Jung Ah-yeon.

She not only took advantage of A-Market's excellent intelligence, but also used private intelligence organizations to follow them.

But nothing came out.

However, Myung In-hyuk revealed it.

“You are so wonderful. How the hell did you find out?”

Myung In-hyeok said cautiously with a troubled smile.

“My brother found out.”

Only Kang Ha-jin and Yoon Kyung-min understood what Myung In-soo found out right away.

Jeong A-yeon and Hwang Soo-young looked at Myung In-hyuk with bewildered expressions.

“If it’s a younger brother, are you talking about Insu?”

Myung In-hyuk nodded at Hwang Soo-young's question.

"Yeah."

“I also went into dungeons with Insu a few times, but I didn’t know he was such a great person.”

Anyway, that's not the point, but what you're going to do next.

“There is no way to completely prevent the Awoken from joining the raid. It's just a hindrance, but it's not easy these days as the Jeyoung group's checks are getting tighter."

It was an information war out of time.

The task was not easy as Jeyoung's group was trying to figure out the saboteurs, and Myung In-hyeok had to block their pursuit and even interfere.

There was talk about him for a while.

Then suddenly Hwang Soo-young asked.

“By the way, if we add a little more strength here, won’t we be able to solve the Japanese crisis? Awakened people are coming from all over the world right now.”

What was important was the number of Awoken. Since there are as many as 150 new type dungeons, wouldn't it be possible to block them with enough Awakeners to attack them at the same time?

Even if there is an explosion, if there are many Awoken, we will be able to respond somehow.

But Kang Ha-jin answered the question firmly.

“Absolutely impossible.”

Everyone couldn't understand why Kang Ha-jin was so sure.

However, I couldn't help but be stunned by Kang Ha-jin's words that followed.

“Because that’s not the end.”
