How a Calamity Necromancer Retires

In the end, President Juan Pablo accepted my proposal.

Of course, there were conditions.

Build a refinery in Venezuela.

If all extra-heavy oil was imported to Korea and refined, the ripple effect on the local economy of Venezuela would inevitably be weak, so it was a natural condition.

And I compromised by accepting only half of these conditions.

An agreement was reached to build a refinery in Venezuela with the same refining capacity as the refinery in Korea and go two-track in Korea and Venezuela.

How can you believe in Venezuela, which has a history of forcibly nationalizing American companies that have already entered the anti-American government, and go all-in?

Now, a pro-US government has come in, but it will not be a problem if an anti-American government gains power again, saying it is a democratic country.

Anyway, so I decided to do it half and half, set the Venezuelan port city of Cumanaran as a base, and started moving in earnest.

As usual, energy purchases were spread throughout the city to improve people’s lives, while at the same time promoting the establishment of large-scale refineries.

In fact, a refinery is all about toxic gas processing equipment, but since Venezuela’s crude oil production is so large, the scale of the factory is enormous and the number of newly hired Venezuelan employees is considerable.

Anyway, while the factory establishment was going smoothly, an incident occurred.

“…our employee died?”

Venezuela is so far behind that it has no security power even in the provinces, so it is Venezuela that has set up rebels and awakened gangs wearing guild masks.

Still, I thought I would touch my company, not someone else, but in the end, something happened.

“yes. There are two huge guilds based in Kumana, and they are said to have been caught up in a fight between these guilds.”

“What about the police?”

Kim Young-tae said with a bitter smile.

“The police cannot touch the guilds.”

“Why?”

“Without these guilds, there is no way to block the gate.”

Even if it’s not, it’s the last thing to do, but the gate problem overlaps, so the guild is literally wielding the power of omnipotence.

“Huh.”

Central Africa, where most of the country was occupied by monsters, was not like this.

no.

Maybe it was better because it was occupied.

If you have nothing and have nothing to protect, there is nothing to regret.

“Then shouldn’t the president step in?”

“The current president is the first pro-US president in office in decades. Of course, the power to control the government and the provinces will inevitably decline.”

It is said that Venezuela’s deadlock, which has been built up over the years, is too great for a president who has just come to power to clean it all at once.

“Our country was a good country to live in.”

Anyway, I touched our staff, but I can’t just let it go.

“Where is their base? I will have to crush it.”

That way I won’t be able to touch the people in my company from next time.

There was no problem with the gate because it was enough to block it by spraying the battle skeleton.

However, Kim Young-tae shook his head and said.

“That is easier said than done. Of course, if Chairman Han stepped forward, destroying two guilds wouldn’t be a problem. The problem is after those two guilds disappear.”

“It’s enough to block the gate with my skeleton.”

“The gate is not the only problem.”

Kim Young-tae looked at the city of Kumana and said.

“The guilds have been running various illegal businesses and virtually ruling this city. That means the citizens of this city are closely connected with the guild’s illegal business. But such a guild suddenly disappears? Then, citizens will lose their jobs and even the livelihood they were barely surviving will collapse.”

“This crazy.”

To the extent that the livelihood of the entire city is threatened by the disappearance of two guilds doing illegal business.

I’ve heard that it’s a dead end, but the more I hear it, the more excited I get.

“That’s why you can’t touch it.”

Because the vacancy of the government and companies is being filled by guilds carrying out illegal businesses.

“you’re right. Besides, if you attack them, they’ll dig further into the shadows. Chairman, is it possible to find and deal with all the members of the guild who have hidden themselves? They will probably sneak in and continue to attack the chairman and Seron Oil.”

Surely there’s nothing more difficult than locating and dealing with the lurkers.

“Then what do you mean?”

“The simplest thing is to negotiate with the guilds, receive an apology and compensation, and deliver it to the bereaved family. The two guilds that caused this incident must be very tense right now.”

Although I killed my employee, it was a kind of accident caused by getting caught up in a fight between two guilds.

Of course, the two guilds must be full of worries because I, who is referred to as the world’s only SSS class, might move.

“Negotiation is not my taste.”

Negotiation is a very unfamiliar word to me, who has only moved in a dichotomy like friend or foe in war.

“Chairman Han, who has only lived in Korea, may not understand, but this place has its own rules. And if this rule is broken, so many people will suffer.”

Kim Young-tae who keeps stopping me.

I looked at Kim Young-tae with a meaningful expression and said.

“Tell me honestly. I don’t think the CIA is stopping me out of concern for the livelihood of citizens in other countries. Why are you drying it?”

Then Kim Young-tae, who was silent, spoke.

“The position of the current president is still unstable. If a war breaks out between Chairman Han and the guilds and the guilds hide in the shadows and go wild, the situation in Venezuela, which is otherwise unstable, will worsen. Then, if something goes wrong and an anti-American regime takes over again, the United States will have no choice but to impose sanctions on Venezuela again.”

So, the situation of the local residents of Venezuela is not a part-time job, but they just want to maintain the status quo as much as possible so that crude oil is provided stably, right?

But that’s not wrong.

No matter how many skeletons there are, in the end, I am alone, so unless I can annihilate numerous guilds and awakeners at once, Venezuela will fall into more chaos if a war breaks out.

And if you fall into such chaos, the current government has no choice but to be criticized, and if the United States imposes sanctions again due to the anti-American government, the supply of ultra-heavy oil will be stopped, as well as the factories that are currently being built will be stopped.

“So it’s much more reasonable to go beyond negotiating and getting the guilds to promise not to touch Seron in the future.”

“hmm.”

Let’s move on after reaching an agreement with the local forces to the extent of mutual non-aggression.

Definitely not a bad way.

But I don’t like it.

“I am not good at negotiating. Instead, there is one thing I am good at.”

I said with a grin.

“Just a threat.”

Guilds with enough power to openly ignore public authority.

In other words, if I attract these guilds to my side, it means that no matter who the president changes, they can’t touch me, right?

It’s enough to avoid sh*t like this in Korea, but here, there’s no way to avoid it because everywhere is sh*t, so I have to remodel that sh*t so that it doesn’t stink and make it my side.

“Tell me where they are. I’ll take care of it neatly so there’s no noise.”

-It happened like this because you attacked me!!

When the guild leader of the Hormo guild, one of the two guilds that dominates Cumana with a population of 500,000, raised his voice, Carlos, the guild leader of the rival guild, raised his voice and shouted.

“It’s a war that wouldn’t have happened if you guys hadn’t invaded our business territory!!”

It is only natural that the two guild leaders, who are S-class awakeners, raise their voices because of the death of an employee employed by Seron Refinery.

-···Whoa. good. Nothing can be solved by shouting like this. First of all, let’s hit the player first before Han Ji-hyeok moves. Compensation is paid to the bereaved family, and a truce for the time being. how is it?

It was a suggestion that would normally have been snorted.

Just because one of the widespread poor died, two huge guilds with a thousand awakened people and close to 10,000 members pay compensation and make a truce.

However, the problem was that the poor were hired by Han Ji-hyeok.

No matter how huge the two guilds are, they are not opponents of Han Ji-hyeok, who blocked the SS-level unstable gate alone.

Carlos sighed and said.

“Whoa. good. Instead, start by promising not to encroach on our business again.”

-In the first place, that business was what we did first!

“Is there a law that says you guys have to do it first?! It’s the fault of the one who was taken away!”

The two guild leaders start arguing again after they seem to reach a compromise.

But then, a guild member kicked in the door and said.

“energy. Guild leader!”

“What!!”

“under. Han Ji-hyeok is here!”

At that, Carlos jumped up from his seat and said.

“what. what? Han Ji-hyeok?”

“yes!! I brought a bunch of skeletons with me!”

Carlos said with a firm expression.

“You’re going to see blood after all, right? Call the guild members immediately and tell them to hide!! No matter how strong Jihyeok Han is, Kumana is our land! If you decide to hide in the shadows and wage guerrilla warfare…”

Carlos was giving instructions like that, but the guild member interrupted Carlos and said,

“ruler. wait a minute. Guild leader! It’s true that Han Ji-hyeok came with a skeleton, but it looks like he came to negotiate!”

At those words, Carlos’ expression instantly softened.

“Negotiation? A negotiation?”

“yes. I’m here to get compensation and an apology for the deceased employee.”

Carlos said with a smile at the thought that it might not be the worst thing he feared.

“I will do as much as I can! Bring me!”

How long has it been since you gave that order?

Han Ji-hyeok entered Carlos’ office, accompanied by an Asian man and a skeleton clad in colorful bone armor.

‘That skeleton is that skeleton, right?’

An SS-class skeleton with estimated fighting power that fought against the undead that killed 2 Japanese SS-class Awakeners.

Upon checking the skeleton, Carlos, who was relieved, began to feel uneasiness again.

‘Couldn’t you pretend to be negotiating and then kill them all?’

At that time when I was worried about the anxiety that sprouted like that.

The Asian who came with Han Ji-hyeok began to speak fluent Spanish.

“Chairman Han requests an apology and payment of compensation to the bereaved families of the deceased employees.”

Fortunately, Carlos, who seemed to have come to negotiate, put his heart down again.

“Of course it should. Innocent people were sacrificed because of us. Our guild will pay 3,000 dollars to the bereaved family as compensation and make the person who caused the accident apologize.”

Then the man who talked to Han Ji-hyeok said.

“The compensation is said to be too small.”

“…Three thousand dollars is equivalent to three years’ salary for an ordinary worker.”

“Do you think of the face of Chairman Han, who came to you in person?”

Honestly, $3,000 was quite expensive, and considering that the rival guild will also pay compensation, it’s not enough, but it’s an overflowing amount, but what can I do?

If you see real blood with Han Ji-hyeok, you might lose more than 30 million dollars, not 3 thousand dollars.

“How much do you want?”

“Ten thousand dollars.”

“···All right.”

Carlos readily accepted Han Ji-hyeok’s conditions.

Then Jihyeok Han nodded his head as if he was satisfied.

“They say they are fortunate through their words.”

When things seemed to be going well, Carlos looked at Han Ji-hyeok and said.

“By the way, you will continue to do business in Kumana, but if you have any trouble, please tell me and I will take care of it neatly. If I come out, from the mayor to the low-level civil servants, I will not be able to throw up on the work of the Seron Group.”

Now that things are over, Carlos shows off his strength to build a good relationship with Han Ji-hyeok.

At that, Han Ji-hyeok smiled and said.

“They say there is no need for that. He says it’s all over with the president anyway.”

Then Carlos said with a confident expression.

“I am above the President, at least here in Cumana. The livelihood of the citizens here is also maintained thanks to us.”

At Carlos’ words, Han Ji-hyeok said with a meaningful expression.

“Anyway, the issue of compensation for the dead seems to be over, so let’s talk about the next one.”

“next story?”

Han Ji-hyeok said with a calm expression.

“If you want to continue doing business in Kumana in the future, Chairman Han tells you to follow the rules.”

“I ask what you mean by that.”

What do you mean? I mean literally.

“Because I hate messy security. So, if you don’t follow the rules I set, say that you will release all the skeletons and subjugate the entire guild.”

Guilds are a necessary evil in Venezuela.

Thanks to them, the gates can be blocked, and people who barely survive trading dollars and contraband goods they smuggled from overseas.

I decided to bring those guilds to my side, but that doesn’t mean I can create a real criminal organization and reign as its head, right?

It would be insulting to Koreans who do not know the local situation here.

So make your own rules, make them follow them, and at the same time get them on your side.

Carlos said with a firm expression.

“Are you threatening yourself now?”

“Take it right.”

“Even if that’s the case, they say that if close to 10,000 members of the organization decide to hide, even one president will not be able to find it.”

“I guess so. i won’t find but.”

I said with a smile.

“Can I really not find a homo?”

abide by my rules

Then leave it alone.

Instead, the moment the rules are broken, I personally step in and destroy the guild.

Of course, as Kim Young-tae said, the moment the guild is destroyed, the guild will hide in the shadows.

At that time, the area of the hidden guild is handed over to another guild to be cleaned up by another guild familiar with the shadows.

In other words, control them through guild fights.

“What if I decline the offer? Then I will go to the Hormo Guild and make the same offer.”

The Hormo Guild is a rival guild similar in size to Carlos’s guild.

“And if Hormo accepts the offer, I will immediately mobilize the skeleton to destroy the guild of Carlos Guild Leader and have Hormo fill the void.”

If we declare a war on crime and turn all guilds into enemies, the guilds will join forces.

Of course, it would be next to impossible for me to subdue and control them all by myself.

But what if I condone the crime and let the one who listens to me live?

Of course, they will try to use my power to dismantle the rival organization and compete with each other.

Taking over a rival organization’s business would make more money.

If I entice them to fight between guilds that listen to me and guilds that don’t, soon there will be only guilds that listen to me all over Venezuela.

Of course, these gangsters wearing guild masks wouldn’t immediately succumb to just a few words like this.

Since you are in front of the members of the organization, you will have to take care of your face.

So, what is needed here is to show the absolute strength to which they have no choice but to surrender.

Just to follow the rules and use my power is much more rational to judge.

It’s different from just hearing about it and experiencing it yourself.

I said while summoning the highest-ranking Death Knight I had made recently.

“I can roughly guess what you are thinking right now. bump into it once? Rumors may have been exaggerated. It must be like this, right? So let’s make a bet.”

I pointed to the Death Knight and said.

“Exactly one week from now. I will send only one of these skeletons to this office. I’m not going to attack you, I’m just literally walking into this office, so stop it at all costs. If you succeed in stopping it, you’ll get a huge prize and I’ll never talk about rules again. So feel it for yourself.”

I said with a grin.

“Why am I called the One-Man Legion?”
