Chapter 297 – #81. District 32(4).

#81. District 32.

“You take over District 32.”
“… ?”

Kiris told me so.
When I reacted a little slowly, I continued with a frown as if I was frustrated.

“Don’t you understand? Since you killed Arhan, manage District 32, which he was in charge of.”

Arhan was the monopoly supplying drugs to District 32.
It was possible because ‘Cube’, the worst drug, was provided by ‘Mantis’.

I thought there might be some connection with Arhan.

‘What, then.’

Hunters on the 5th floor struggle to belong to Mantis.
Even if you are at the end, there is a big difference between being Mantis and not.

Kiris looked down on Arhan, who was trembling under the protection of Mantis, and treated him like a pawn.
It means that it is in a position that cannot be compared with Arhan.

‘Was Kiris a Mantis executive?’

Most of the contact between Kiris and So Da-hee was due to their desire for taxidermy.
A twisted desire to stuff young So Da-hee and keep her forever.
In order to satisfy that desire, he put on black leather and attacked So Da-hee.

Even surprise attacks like pervert will be impossible to face after So Da-hee becomes stronger.

‘Perhaps he noticed.’

If there is no possibility, do not rush.
The most important virtue to survive is to be quick to notice.
This is especially important in the dark.

Those who distinguish between the realm of the possible and the impossible and know how to live a life survive long.

Such a flow came out in detail in the original work.
Of course, it didn’t make any sense to me as a reader.

I completely forgot whether there was an extra called Kiris or not.
I wonder if he remembered it in the first place.

“To take over Area 32?”
“Yes.”
“…”

Take over Area 32.
Its meaning is clear.

‘Control the influx of drugs, collect coins from Area 32.’

You don’t have to explain how to use that coin.
So Da-hee also had a history of taking Arhan and riding this route.

“Is it difficult to cut the front and back? You wouldn’t understand. Kindly let me know.”

Kiris explained each and every detail as if she were teaching a child.
How District 32 is running, without embellishment about the grim current situation.

‘It’s a bit different.’

The proportions were slightly different.
When So Da-hee captured Arhan and then conquered District 32, the ratio suggested at that time was 70%.
70% of the proceeds from the sale of ‘Cube’ had to be given to Mantis.

Of course, So Da-hee did not respond to the offer.
Right after catching Arhan, I moved on to the first ring, so there was no reason to play gangster in the second ring.

“Nine percent? You said 90%, right?”
“Yes. The goods will be supplied from this side. Instead, you can send 90% of the sales proceeds up.”

Kiris asked for 90%.
It was safe to say that it was almost everything.

‘This shit…’

Like all criminal organizations, this year was severe.
Shield shield.
Pants boss.

They are trying to use it as a signboard pretending to give away the 32nd District, which is only a facade.

‘In case I come down from the upper floors.’

This is the case with the hunters who will be in charge of each of the 36 districts.
Mantis executives had minimal direct involvement in the district.
To make it easier to cut the tail.

‘Some are hiding in the first ring.’

Most players think of the 2nd ring as the stragglers’ zone and the 1st ring as the stragglers’ zone.
Even when he comes down to subdue ‘Hunter’, he goes through the second ring.
No way, he was caught off guard by the accident and hid.

‘I’m not interested.’

Hunter? Mantis? All out of focus
I plan to move on to the first ring after I finish training to a certain extent, so I have no intention of digging deep.

“Do you think 90% is unfair? But 90% is not a bad ratio.”

Fuck.
When I showed a slight hesitation, Kiris started persuading me.

“Did you see a lot while going up? The guys who shout loudly on each floor.”
“Yeah, what…”
“Did they go there because they were so much better than the others? No. I was able to walk around arrogantly because I was holding the only thing on the floor as a weapon.”

The 2nd floor is a shop, the 3rd floor is a solution, and the 4th floor is a ‘room’.
If he held something in his hand that others needed, he could naturally stand in the position of A.

“Think about it. The addictiveness of ‘Cube’ is beyond your imagination. The chemists who manufacture ‘Cube’ all spit out the same warning. Never touch me Be patient even if you are curious. When you want to kill yourself because ‘Tower of Struggle’ is so boring, try it right before committing suicide. Then you can find yourself wanting to live again?”
“…”
“It gives you the greatest pleasure. Instead, the worst kind of addiction follows. You are mortgaging the rest of your life on the ‘Cube’.”
“…”
“You can monopolize the supply of ‘Cube’ to District 32. Every word you say is that of a king, and every action you take will exude a sense of intimidation. Instead, take only 90% of the sales proceeds. ‘We’ leave 10% of it.”

A fascinating word.
In District 32, where there are already numerous customers, the authority to monopolize the supply of ‘Cube’?

“When a man is poisoned, he sells all his liver and gallbladder. It’s to the point of selling a mother or daughter just to get one cube. What about a woman, nothing to say about her.”
“… What about that one?”
“Me?”

A moment of silence ensued.

“I’m not interested in cubes? I don’t like to blindly cling to one thing.”
“…”
“… You’d better not make unnecessary provocations. It’s because I have a personality that I can’t stand when someone talks to me carelessly.”

Kiris frowned and glared at me.
Don’t look at her as an easy woman, I think you can take her that way.

‘I’m building my pride for no reason.’

The result is fixed.
From the moment I got entangled in her starting point, it became a given that Kiris would be fucked.
When you get stuck, that’s the only difference.

“Good. I will do it.”

Kiris smiled and held out her hand.

“It’s nice to be excited. If you’re a man, you can’t miss this opportunity. I’m not even sick.”

I took that hand.
You’ll be holding my cock later, so it’s soft.
It felt good.

“Why don’t you let go now?”
“Ah, yes.”

Raven came down to the first floor of the inn.
She felt like he was playing with him, and she wasn’t in a good mood.

‘Kim Jin-woo? Was there anyone like that?’

It was the first name she had heard.

‘I thought most of them were drugged…’

He made the so-called nasty bastards in the second ring crazy with drugs.
He grabbed a cube and shook it.
By the way, where did such a hated bastard come from again?

‘Is he not afraid because he just came up?’

Raven struggled to suppress his seething anger.
I don’t understand why I couldn’t open it up to him and was groaning inwardly.
She retook her steps.

“Hey… !”

Seeing Raven’s bloody expression, the innkeeper let out a grotesque scream.
Since he was a resident, he couldn’t be touched, so Raven left him and left the inn.

‘All I have to do is kill him right away and appoint someone who can handle it comfortably.’

I don’t know why I want to give up on that easy path and choose such a foolish path.

Pak-!
“Ah… !”

Raven was walking down the street and bumped into a woman on the shoulder.
Being in a very bad mood, he wanted to leave the woman half dead.

“Sorry.”

A soft voice passed Raven’s ear.
The brightly shining appearance automatically caught my eye.
Raven couldn’t take her eyes off her.

“Ah, yes…”

After answering stupidly, Raven stared at the back of the woman as she walked away.
It’s the first time I feel like this when I see a person.

‘… I want to keep it stuffed.’

Elena felt a sense of regression.
It was actually not long after Dahee Yoo and Jinwoo Kim went up.

‘Princess Elisha…’

When Elena saw Elisha, her heart ached.
As she fell in love with Kim Jin-woo, she decided to stay by his side, but she couldn’t give up her feelings for Elisha.

The memories of her serving her in her hometown dimension still remain, so how can she turn away from her?
Even when she was summoned alone to the ‘Tower of Struggle’ to fight her loneliness, Elena endured by recalling her memories of those days.
I couldn’t help but be sympathetic.

‘But I can’t help it.’

“It’s for Elisha,” She rationalized.
Elisha can be free only when she clears the ‘Tower of Struggle’ quickly, so her current breakup is a breakup to plan her future.

“Princess Elisha, I have something to tell you.”

Elena called Elisha.
The current Elisha has painful memories of Kim Jin-woo, and her completely pure appearance has completely disappeared.
Even so, the look in her eyes at Elena was that of a benevolent and gentle princess.

“Captain Elena, why are you like that? Your expression looks so sad. Is something going on?”

Elisha comforted Elena.
Not knowing what she was trying to say, she soothed Elena.

Elena spoke of the determination she had in her heart.
I will climb the ‘top’ first.
She will challenge again the realm she gave up in the past.
I will save Elisha from this situation by clearing the ‘Tower of Struggle’.
She said that to Elisha.

This was a notice.
Notice to go up.
To speak as a Knight Commander, his attitude was infinitely unnatural.

Elisha felt awkward with Elena.

“Kim Jinwoo… Are you related to that man?”
“…”

I have memories in my head.
I don’t know why she has these memories, but she knew that the relationship between Elena and Kim Jin-woo was not normal.
It’s hard to explain in words, so Elisha blurted out in a comprehensive way.

“I’m sorry, Princess Elisha.”

Elena didn’t hesitate any longer.
It’s already spilled water, and it can’t be undone.

Elisha was drinking black tea mixed with Kim Jin-woo’s semen.
I will remember the conversation we are having now, even in the next episode.

“… I can’t help it. Because Captain Elena also has her life. I have no right to hold you.”
“It’s not like that. In order to conquer the ‘Tower of Struggle’…”
“I know everything. It’s okay if you don’t have to explain at length.”

As I look back on these and other memories, I realize that Yu Da-hee and Kim Jin-woo are not ordinary people.
Although it cannot be explained in words, the two exuded a strange atmosphere that anyone with reason could not help but feel.

It was morally right to follow them rather than weak myself.
Elena’s power wasn’t bad enough to be chained to herself.
If she goes up, she will be of much greater help to others.

“Elisha, you need to stay safe. As long as you don’t go out of town, you won’t get into big trouble.”
“I know.”
“Here, I’ll give you a coin too.”

Elena took her coin from her inventory.
It was a gold coin engraved with 999.

Elisha was fascinated by the unit she had never seen before, and put the gold coin in her inventory.

“One billion?!”

One gold coin was 1 billion coins.
999 is the maximum, so it is a figure minus 1 from 1 billion, but it was enormous.

“I will give you more. Enough to train on the 3rd floor.”
“No, no. It’s okay. I also need to use Captain Elena.”
“Coin is full and overflowing. The longer you stay in the ‘Tower of Struggle’, the more coins you get.”

He handed over 999 gold coins four more times.
Elisha suddenly got 5 billion coins.
It was a lot of money that could not be used up on the third floor.

“Please wait. I will definitely clear the ‘Tower of Struggle’ and free Princess Elisha.”

It was an oath as the knight commander.
A promise and a mission to go up leaving behind the princess to be protected.

“I’ll be waiting for you.”

Elisha liked this atmosphere.
Although it didn’t work out, Elena felt good at this moment when she swore to herself.

“Then bye… !”

After her brief greeting, Elena went up to the fourth floor.
She headed to the 4th and 5th floors at once through the teleport gate.

Elisha sighed as she looked at the glittering teleport gate.
What on earth am I supposed to do?

“Heo-eok, it’s an elf… !”

A human girl hid in the building in front of the teleport gate.
Holding a book a little smaller than my body in my arms, I peeked at Elisha curiously.

Elisha noticed the girl staring.
I couldn’t know

‘Cute.’

Had she been a boy, she would have relentlessly turned away, but being a girl, she became curious.
She seemed like a good way to pass the time.

“Hey, kid. Do you want to see the elf sister up close?”

The girl gave her a quick nod of her head.
Curiosity was shining brightly.

Elisha certainly knew what her weapon was.
All of this was because of the memories Kim Jin-woo planted.
