Chapter 20 – Incheon(2)

“I’m tired…”
“Is your brother okay?”
“It’s okay…”

Lee Man-seong, who had been under pressure from the World Alliance for several days because of the name that appeared in Gangwon-do, slumped in his chair.

“If you just catch the pods of those damn jackals, it’s fucking damn good.”
“Are you talking about the Chinese Federation?”

China, which lost domestic security due to the invasion of the Chinese League and monsters, was divided into 47 parts.

While continuing their own Spring and Autumn Warring States period, the Chinese Federation is a military alliance led by three rankers, including Liu Cheng, the current chairman of the Federation, who has returned from the Central World.

“Isn’t there a problem besides the upper class people? Those mentally ill emperors…”

The place Lee Man-seong was talking about was the land of old Japan, now called the Emperor’s Kingdom. Japan, which is surrounded by seas on four sides, collapsed in the terrifying attack of sea monsters from the Pacific Ocean.

At that time, the ranker Yamato, a descendant of the Japanese royal family who had returned from the central world, reunited Japan with both power and justification on his back and established a country called the Emperor’s Kingdom.

“Stupid bastards… When did militarism…”

The problem was that in order to protect the country and its subjects, they were talking about going inland and saying that they had to take back the Korean Peninsula, which was their former land.

It’s fortunate that there were a lot of deformed rankers compared to the small land. Otherwise, it might have resulted in repeating the tragedy of the past.

There was no word on the fact that this name came out, but as soon as I heard that it had disappeared, I couldn’t believe Korea.
So, Lee Man-seong was stunned by the bullshit that he would send his country’s awakened people to the Korean Awakened Association.

“Right, how did Jiyeon do it?”

I put aside such a trivial and painful story and asked Lee Do-kyung what happened to her daughter.

The named problem was unexpectedly resolved, so there was no need for Lee Ji-yeon to go to the central world.

“She contacted me in advance before leaving for Gangwon-do and told me to wait. Right now, he must be studying magic at home or training.”

No matter what happened, Lee Ji-yeon is unemployed after being fired from the position of team leader. But she won’t wallow in that personality and she’ll be practicing.

“Um… If Ji-yeon has nothing to do, she has something she wants to do…”
“Are you saying what you want to do…?”

Lee Man-seong said worriedly.
“Isn’t Yoochun going to Incheon soon?”
“Yeah… I can’t believe…?”

“We need someone who knows how it works. If it’s Ji-yeon… I think she’ll know it well, doesn’t it?”

“…But isn’t it too dangerous?”

Lee Do-gyeong, feeling guilty about her own daughter, did not want her to go to such a dangerous place. She left her doctor.

“Things like that happen, too. But don’t you know better, Dokyung? I will tell you what the child needs.”
“…That”

Lee Ji-yeon, who lost her mother and became a disabled person, came into contact with her magic by chance.

Knowing that she herself has a great talent for her magic, Lee Ji-yeon studied her magic and tried to kill her villains with her power.

That’s how she reached a level where she couldn’t compare to her peers. However, magic, which was initially a tool for killing villains, turned into another purpose over time, leaving her as her pride and another reason for living.

In other words, her hatred for her villain and her magic are all that is left of her now.

“But Do-kyung and you know that it’s no longer a stage to pioneer alone.”
“…I know.”

The problem is that even though he reached the mid-level from the 4th level with his outstanding talent and passion, the absence of mental awakening due to lack of actual combat experience is fatal in that he is recognized as a ranker from the 5th level.

“It’s not just that. The hatred the child has. Don’t you know that you have to solve that resentment yourself?”

Lee Do-gyeong knew that there was nothing wrong with that statement. He knew that it would be a good opportunity for his daughter to go to Yoochun’s Incheon input.

“But…”

“You… How long are you going to hold on to his ankles in the name of protecting that child?”

“…!!!”

“You did that from the beginning, and she stopped when that kid wanted to knock on the door of the Society, wanting to catch and kill the villain.”

Ji-Yeon Lee, who hated her people, the villains who killed her mother in the past, wanted to go to the association and catch the villains, but she was stopped by Do-Kyung Lee, so she came to the Observatory.

“Do you think killing the monster under controlled circumstances will relieve the child’s resentment? Calm down.”

Kook…

In Lee Man-seong’s words, Lee Do-kyung said, “Do you know more about my daughter than I do? I know my daughter.’ I wanted to retort like this.

‘I can’t…’

However, Lee Do-gyeong could not refute Lee Man-seong’s words.

In a way, Lee Man-seong’s words seem to urge her father to kill her daughter.

“Do-kyung, please come to your senses. If you keep hugging her forcibly like that, Ji-yeon will wither to death.”
“…”

However, what Lee Man-sung actually wanted to say was that he would sacrifice his own daughter by sacrificing the villain.

“If you can’t resolve your resentment towards the villain and your magic can’t progress, if that condition continues, Ji-yeon has no reason to live.”
“…”

‘Am I… Trying to be too overprotective…’

As soon as Lee Man-seong stopped, she looked back at herself to see if she had been blocking the way for the child to grow up in the name of protecting her daughter.

‘I see… I was interfering with that child…’

Wanting to deal with her villains, he stopped her from going to her association, put her in her observation balloon, and had her relatively safe kaiju subjugation.

She cut off her environment where she could grow by excluding even the slightest dangerous situation from coming.

‘I’m still a fool…’

She always felt hurt when she saw Lee Ji-yeon, whose emotions were pale, but rather realized that she might have been the one who made her so.

“I’ll send Jiyeon…”

Lee Do-kyung decided to send his daughter to Incheon, hoping that it would not be too late for her.

“Yeah, well thought out…”

Even now, she trembles with fear at the thought of Ji-yeon going to Incheon, where her villains are, but she can no longer disturb her daughter for her own torment. And…

“Yoochun has him and Miss Killian. Don’t worry, nothing too dangerous will happen.”

‘Goyucheon…’
Lee Do-gyeong thought of his incomprehensible power and decided to be relieved.

“Yes… Your brother is right.”

“Okay, then we can do it with four people like that.”

“Yes? Four people? Who is one?”

“Huh? Didn’t you hear Ha Yeon-yang also said she would follow him. Of course, without informing the outside world.”

“Why is she…?”

“Yoocheon told me he was going to Incheon, so he said he would accompany me. I heard it was to hide Killian’s demonic energy… Anyway, wouldn’t it be nice if one more ranker was added?”

Lee Do-gyeong thought about the number of people who would leave in a week. Ko Yoo-chun, Killian, Yang Ha-yeon and even her daughter Lee Ji-yeon.

“Haha… You can really rest assured.”

“Then~ Would you have tried to send a child who looked like my daughter to limb? Hehe, what does this friend look at me for?”

It’s overpowered No matter how hidden power there may be in the shadows, even one of the two electrons is annihilating.
It’s because Yoochun needs Incheon’s dark side and it can’t be revealed. If the only purpose was to destroy it, there was no need to do it like now.

“Then, organize the materials about Incheon and prepare Jiyeon. Let’s put in a week later.”

*

On the day of departure for Incheon one week later

“Weren’t the two of us going…?”

“Heh, I’m sorry. I wanted to tell you in advance. Because you never answered the phone.”

“…Sorry.”

Yoochun didn’t look at his phone for about a week and had been doing only two things. As a result of training, he spent 12 hours a day training to deal with his powers from Killian, and as a result he achieved the following growth.

‘Status window’
Name: Goyucheon
Race: human

Talents: Inside the Space (C+), Five Rings (B), Iron God (A), Acceleration of Thinking (CC+)
Protection: none
Skills: Destroy Fortress (C), Five Elements (BB) (Physical Method), Provide (B+), Killian Style (C-)
Stat
Body: 0.55-Transcendence (3rd)
Sense: 52.24
Mind: 54.17
Mana: 58.37

Mileage: 237,564p

There would be a ridiculous increase in stats and the influence of talent, but just by adapting to physical stats, all stats increased as if they had been buffed.

The level of talents and skills has also increased a lot. But the really surprising thing is that her Killian style throwing method. Having learned that from her, I searched her mileage store just in case, and immediately bought the one that was on sale for 7 million points.

She wanted to enjoy the effects of her skills while learning directly from her, and her results were quite satisfactory. Thanks to that, she was treated as a genius that was really nonsense, but she kept quiet because she was half right.

Now it has reached the point where natural disasters won’t happen even if she swings her fist. I don’t know what would happen if I hit someone…

I ate or slept for 4 hours out of the remaining 12 hours. And the remaining 8 hours were spent talking to each other or having sex. Isn’t that the only thing to do when a very healthy man and woman who met once are in the same house?

Thanks to this, Yoochun and Killian learned many things about each other.

‘But why is that person…?’
Yoochun questioned one of the members she went with.

“By the way… Why does Yang Ha-yeon want to follow me?”

“Don’t you remember? Did I decide to cover up Miss Killian’s demonic energy? Isn’t it natural to follow the Association when it goes to a place where it has no influence?”

“Ah yes…”
“Joy!”

‘Why are you doing that…?’
Yang Ha-yeon is famous for being cold even in normal times, but I don’t know why, but today she seemed to be nervous about that.

“Yang Ha-yeon, aside from that… Who is that…?”

“My name is Jiyeon Lee, who served as the field commander for you in Incheon.”

If Yang Ha-yeon was a cold person, Lee Ji-yeon was like a doll. Not just his looks, but his emotions too.

‘People like that usually have deep scars in their hearts…’

Yuchun, who came from an orphanage with many wounded children, thought so while looking at Lee Ji-yeon.

“Ji-yeon has been working as an Awakener in a government agency, so she is very knowledgeable about Incheon, so it will be helpful. She is excellent and at the same time, as she is Do-kyung’s daughter, the secrets about you will not be leaked.”
“Please take good care of my daughter.”
“Ah, yes, I will do as much as I can.”

She was embarrassed that a stranger would know her when Lee Man-seong said, but when she said that she was Lee Do-gyeong’s daughter, she shook her hand and said hello.

“It is called Goyucheon. I wish you well.”
“I’m Lee Ji-yeon.”

She shook hands and looked at Killian one last time.
“Keely, are you ready?”
– Bar, don’t call me that outside! Joy! And there is nothing to prepare.

‘Why is he upset again?’

Earlier, she was staring at Lee Ji-yeon shaking hands. No way…

‘Could he be jealous right now?’

From that day on, she was a Killian who became more and more feminine as she spent hot nights every day. Even when she’s training, if she looks at her chest, she covers it with her hand. If she stares at her, she blushes. She says she’s jealous like she is now.

“How could such a cute kid be so hard at first?”

Perhaps her outer dimension didn’t have the environment to live like that.

Look at it now She’s staring at me, so she’s swishing her head and wondering what to do. In just one week, Killian, who changed from a brazen barbarian to a new bride, was so beautiful and cute.

“Kuhmm…!! Mr. Yuchun?”
“Yes?”
“Now that you’re ready, let’s go.”
“Ah, I see.”

Yoochun looked puzzled at Hayeon, who was blushing and flapping her ears. Yoochun, knowing that the elf in the game makes her ears pop when the amplitude of emotions increases, wonders if this is the situation.

“Huh… Can’t it be…? Heh heh heh! I’m young, but I’m young…”
“The president of the association…? Stop talking nonsense and tell me your plan now, right?”
“Ah, I see…”

Lee Man-seong laughed, as if realizing something about her, then broke into a cold sweat at Yang Ha-yeon’s cold reaction.

“Kuh, keuh… I don’t have any grandiose plans. Our goal is to seize one of the territories occupied by the shadows of Incheon.”

There are many illegal facilities in the shadows, from underground markets to illegal requesting centers and dumping grounds. Even so, the reason why the association can’t organize there.

“From high-ranking government officials to the guilds of members of the National Assembly, damned interests are connected like a spider’s web. So we can’t touch But… You guys are different.”

The existence of Yoochun and Killian is known only to those who live here. Yang Ha-yeon and Lee Ji-yeon only assist while hiding their identities, and if the two overturn the place and take over, Lee Man-seong, an ally, will also be able to exert influence in the dark.

“Then, can I just go and touch it here and there?”

“No, it can’t be like that. If you do that, you’ll startle and jump out of all directions as if you’ve stung a beehive. I want to overturn the shadows, I don’t want to turn Korea into a mess.”

If someone unidentified and someone with overwhelming force touches the shadows, the key figures in Korea who have prepared the foundation and capital there will also be shaken, and if they do wrong, this society may fall into chaos.

“It takes up important parts quickly and delicately. That’s our plan Yuchun-gun and Miss Killian just need to quickly subdue that place. Jiyeon here will take care of the delicate work. If that happens, the shadows will not be able to hide, but rather will come looking for you.”

Occupy only the most important core of the shade by hitting one point. That was Lee Man-seong’s plan.

“Where is that point?”

Yuchun asked where the point where he could shake the entire shade was.

Lee Man-seong handed over a letter from his inside pocket with a purple flower-patterned seal ring waxed on it.

“The answer is simple. Information, the group that handles it, they are the center of the shadows.”

“What does this letter have to do with it?”

“The name of the group that monopolizes information from the shadows is ‘Fallen’, and people call the head of it Tibochina. That’s the name of the flower that’s waxed here. We wanted to track them down, but we couldn’t find out where they were hiding.”

The association knew of their existence and tried to find them, but rather, only the agents who were put in went missing, and they didn’t know anything.

“The only thing I’ve figured out is that Tibo Chinna is supposed to be her sorceress, that she’s a woman, and how to get to know her in person. Yes.”

Lee Man-seong touched the letter on his desk with his finger.

“This letter, this is the only way. If you write down what information you want to buy or sell here and bring it to the designated place, they will check it out and make a decision. If that is an issue that the head of Fallen needs to deal with directly, we can meet.”

After saying that, Lee Man-seong looked at Yoochun with strong eyes.

“Here is written that you will provide information in your name, Yuchun.”

“…What is that?”

Although Yoochun’s expression was upset because he tried to use himself without saying a word, Lee Manseong’s expression did not change.

“There is an article written here that will provide information about what happened to the name using Miss Killian’s weapon as evidence. With this amount of information, Tibocina would have no choice but to come in person.
But not compulsory. If you wish otherwise, tear this letter yourself. It will go around a bit, but other ways are planned.”

“…”

‘It must be effective.’
Special information Use him to bring out the chief. Obviously effective But the problem is…

“Isn’t this too gamble? What if the leader doesn’t come out?”

The letter in front of you is a double-edged sword. He might be able to lure the chief, but he might not come out knowing that Yoochun is suspicious.

‘I don’t know how the association manipulated my information, but if it’s the head of an intelligence group like that, they’ll figure out that I’m suspicious.’

Haven’t the dukes also failed so far with the efforts of the association?
‘Such a suspicious guy is providing limited information, of course I think it’s strange’

“No, he will definitely come to see you even if you are suspicious.”

“The basis…?”

“Keuheum… That’s why you should ask Ji-yeon about the details of Incheon. This kid knows better than I do about menstruation there.”

‘Why isn’t he talking now?’

I narrowed my eyes and glared at Lee Man-sung’s suspicious behavior, but that smirking old man had already entered a poker face.

‘He’s a damn old man…’

If you really intend to deploy spies, you don’t come up with a strategy that looks like this, but there are holes in it. As this old man said, even if the head of that side came, there would inevitably be a trap.

Yes no problem Even if they dig traps with full force, just one of Killian and I can easily neutralize all of them. Very simple but effective.

“Old man… When will you have a sparring match with me…”
‘It doesn’t feel good though…’

“You… Are you trying to kill me?”

At Yoochun’s words, Manseong Lee broke his poker face and broke out in a cold sweat… Laughing.

“Ah~ What are you talking about? I have good power control now. Do you give enlightenment to the younger awakened people who are lacking?”

“Kuh, kuhm-! I’d like to, but I’m too busy… The protests coming in from those Awakened, the personal affairs of someone, and so on, etc. Even two bodies aren’t enough.”

‘A smirking old man… My first image wasn’t like this.’

Lee Man-seong, who said that he was working hard for Yoochun and Killian, was mean, but it wasn’t wrong, so he decided to look for an opportunity next time.

“Whoa… It feels like being played by the old man, but it’s definitely effective. I will accept that operation.”

Yuchun accepted this strategy because he couldn’t come up with any other method right away.

‘Anyway, the sooner the sooner the better.’

Yoochun should be pissed off, but he decided to think that he was just an old man who puts people in the right place.

‘Yes, good is good.’

“Oh oh!! Yeah good idea! To be honest, that ignorant body would only get a scratch if it fell into a trap!”

“No, is this old man for real?”
