Skeletons stopped and turned on and off, just like a light bulb turning off and on due to insufficient power.

Naturally, Korea and the Seron Group went into a frenzy.

It is an SS-class gate in China that has already been announced that several SS-class people have died, but after Han Ji-hyeok entered it, an anomaly occurred in the skeleton.

As the situation progressed, rumors of Han Ji-hyeok’s death and injury circulated, turning Korea upside down, but Yu Rong-chi still hesitated.

The damage to China was enormous.

But at that time, Yu Rong-chi, who was holding a meeting with the Awakened, heard other news.

It was that the skeletons that had stopped immediately were being reactivated.

“It’s been restarted?”

It was no different than saying that Han Ji-hyeok regained his energy.

“Ahh······.”

Park In-gwi, who had been thinking for a while, said while Yu Rong-chi was devastated, thinking that his last chance might have been blown while he hesitated.

“But it is strange. Han Ji-hyeok is now seriously injured. But doesn’t it make sense to reactivate a worker skeleton that is not needed in battle?”

“What do you mean?”

“If I were Han Ji-hyeok, I would have stopped all the worker skeletons to survive immediately, whether it was a company contract or something. In that case, we can focus exclusively on recovery and combat, and on top of that, we could mistakenly assume that Han Ji-hyeok is dead and not make another attack. Then Jihyeok Han can buy time to recover from his injury quietly.”

At Park In-gui’s words, Yu Rong-chi said with a firm expression.

“Go ahead.”

“Nevertheless, the fact that the worker skeleton was reactivated can be inferred for two reasons. The first is that he recovered from his injuries to some extent and regained his energy. However, the injuries I inflicted were such that it would not be strange for an ordinary person to die instantly on the spot. No matter how SS-level he is, it makes no sense to recover from an injury in such a short period of time without even receiving proper treatment.”

And Park In-gwi thought.

‘Of course it’s all acting.’

In a situation where the battle between the skeletons and the awakened people was all over the place, Han Ji-hyeok and Park In-gwi’s acting was executed as they had conceived in advance.

Moreover, Han Ji-hyeok ran away on the back of a skeleton right after he appeared to be attacked, so no one directly confirmed the wound, but as soon as Han Ji-hyeok, who had been pushing hard, was injured, the skeletons retreated, so everyone had no choice but to take the injury for granted.

“that’s right. Even with the ability to regenerate an injury like that, it would take a long time to heal.”

As the Awakeners agreed, Park In-gwi continued to speak.

“Then, the second thing is that he wants to show off his strength right now. And showing off is a last resort when cornered.”

Yu Rongqi said with a dazed expression.

“Show off? Bluff?”

“It seems certain that Han Ji-hyeok has come to his senses. And I made a choice after recognizing that the connection with the skeleton was unstable. Do you stop everything or restore it and show off your health? It’s my guess, but it’s probably the latter.”

At Park In-gwi’s words, many awakened people nodded their heads.

But not everyone agreed with that opinion.

An SS-class Awakener who had been silent quietly said.

“That’s just speculation, isn’t it? Director Yu, let’s just guard the gate entrance. When the critical point is reached anyway, the gate will vomit all life inside. Then that guy will come out, and then mobilize a large amount of Awoken to attack him at once and take care of him. We’re the only ones in the area with a restraining order, so that’s the most certainty.”

A very reasonable opinion.

But then, Park In-gwi sighed and said,

“Does that sound easier than it sounds? Already in Korea, they are making a fuss about sending a rescue team. Japan is also woven with rare earth elements, so it is shaking its ass. In a word, all countries are watching with unprecedented interest. Do you really think that it is possible to deal with Han Ji-hyeok, who had been neglected and returned after recovering from an injury, without rumors?”

Everyone here was the one who personally experienced the strength of Han Ji-hyeok and Skeleton.

Of course, they all knew right away that it was impossible, as Park In-gwi said.

Park In-gwi looked at Yu Rong-chi and said.

“Director Yu chooses.”

Do you judge it as bravado and try again, or do you wait and attack Han Ji-hyeok, who has recovered from his injury, outside.

Finally, after a long thought, Yu Rong-chi spoke.

“Let’s do it one more time, one really last time.”

*

The third attack after the first one.

I said as I looked at the Awoken who were pouring in.

“This is the last time.”

The Chinese government has already suffered too much damage.

On top of that, I was tricked once more thanks to the Skeleton Fake this time, but unless I’m an idiot, there’s no way I’ll continue to be fooled by the same method.

From nob le mtl dot com

More than this is greed.

So we should end here.

Anyway, backtracking is a problem.

“how will we do it.”

There are two ways.

The first is to kill everyone who has just entered and then go out and tell everyone that China tried to assassinate me.

If this happens, China will probably receive enormous international criticism.

But will China collapse?

It can’t be.

Because China has a population nearly 30 times that of Korea, excluding the SS class that it lost to me, it still has close to 100 SS class and is a powerhouse with the world’s second largest economy.

I may feel happy right now, but I don’t get much benefit from it, and at the same time, it was clear that China would try all sorts of tricks and trips on me to somehow relieve responsibility.

From nob le mtl dot com

Maybe you could claim that I did a trick to get the corpse of an SS-class Awoken.

Then the second method.

“The second way is… to shut up quietly and then rip off a lot from China.”

After blaming the monsters for all the damage done so far, China and I worked together to deal with the monsters! I am announcing this

In this way, China will not only be able to get away from me regarding the corpses of the Awoken people, but will also be able to obtain many concessions in return.

“nice. They rip off the corpse, and in exchange for silence, they rip off money and interest.”

After all, China is a generous tree.

“I go the second way. Of course, before that…”

I said with a smirk.

“First, open the third present.”

*

Under the belief that Han Ji-hyeok was really on the verge of dying, the Awakeners scattered everywhere and started looking for traces.

But that was what Han Ji-hyeok wanted the most.

‘It must have started soon.’

Han Ji-hyeok’s plan is to quietly deal with the scattered Awakeners.

Perhaps a significant number of Awoken have already lost their lives.

However, since they are all scattered, they are just not aware of that fact.

At that time, the SS-class Awakener who was moving with Park In-gwi said.

“Guild Leader Park, how is Han Ji-hyeok so strong?”

At the words of such an SS-class Awakener, Park In-gwi thought.

‘That much is nothing.’

The image Han Ji-hyeok showed to them was strong, but it was directed to the level of being able to kill if done well.

The SS-class Awakener said with a firm expression.

“Anyway, I must kill you this time. If he goes back alive, there will never be another opportunity like this.”

Park In-gwi nodded and said.

“you’re right. Even after the surprise attack, it is this much, and Han Ji-hyeok, all preparations have been completed… I hate to imagine.”

That time when we were exchanging stories and moving forward.

“uh?”

A man emerged from behind a tree.

It was Han Ji-hyeok.

“Ha, Han Ji-hyeok!”

Originally, he was an SS-class Awakener who would have rushed right away, but he said with a puzzled expression when he saw Han Ji-hyeok.

“Boo, weren’t you injured?”

Han Ji-hyeok appeared calmly with a bloody face.

“Bar, Guild Leader Park, it is clear that Guild Leader Park pierced his stomach…”

But then, when Han Ji-hyeok chinned, a fingernail protruded from Park In-gwi’s hand.

Then, Park In-gwi cut the throat of the SS-class Awakener next to him.

“Ouch!”

The Awoken, who had been decapitated by an unexpected attack, said as he grabbed his bleeding neck.

“You… this betrayal… now.”

“sorry. I had no choice but to live.”

After apologizing like that, Park In-gwi drives his nails into the stomach of the Awakener.

“This… like a dog…”

An SS-class Awakener who was betrayed by a colleague right next to him in a panic and lost his life in vain without even being able to resist properly.

Han Ji-hyeok said as he put the body of such an SS-level Awakener into the subspace.

“great job.”

“no.”

“Are you doing well? Much more than I expected.”

Han Ji-hyeok smiled and said.

“It is true. Did you intend to kill you too when everything was over?”

At those words, Park In-gwi’s face was filled with fear.

However, Park In-gwi desperately shook his head and thought.

‘Doesn’t the fact that you said that in front of me… mean that you’ve changed your mind now?’

Park In-gwi, who has already been completely subdued by Han Ji-hyeok, is looking for a thread of hope rather than resisting.

Looking at Park In-gwi like that, Han Ji-hyeok said.

“But I changed my mind because I did a better job than I expected and I had to negotiate with the Chinese government. Ingwi-ya, are you confident that you will be useful in the future? Than a skeleton?”

Park In-gwi nodded desperately and said.

“of course!”

“good. I will believe Are you my future subordinate? Understand?”

Park In-gwi finally escaped the fear of death and the skeleton.

Park In-gwi said with a face full of joy.

“thank you! thank you!”

“okay. If you betray me, you’ll go straight to Skeleton. okay?”

“of course!”

Park In-gwi said with a hopeful face.

“Now what can I do?”

“I’ll kill half of the guys who came in this time. If I kill them all, the picture I thought won’t come out. Then it’s simple.”

Han Ji-hyeok smiled and said.

“I should go and rip off the Chinese government.”

*

Yu Rong-chi anxiously waited for the Awakeners to come out.

“Die, Han Ji-hyeok. please die.”

When Han Ji-hyeok dies, everything goes back to its original place.

But if you fail to kill it, everything about you will collapse.

Park In-gwi, who was praying and praying so earnestly, appeared as the gate shook.

But this time, it appears different from before, with a far-sighted appearance.

“Guild Leader Park, how did it go?”

Yu Longqi spoke with high expectations.

However, when Park In-gwi returned, the answer was completely different from what Yu Rong-chi had imagined.

“The monster has been dealt with.”

“···monster?”

“The SS-class monster that killed and damaged the Awakeners has been dealt with.”

“Suddenly, what nonsense is that? An SS-class monster.”

But then.

The gate shook again and a man appeared.

It was Han Ji-hyeok.

And Park In-gwi, who politely points to Han Ji-hyeok and speaks.

“With the help of a president here.”

Then, Han Ji-hyeok winked and said, looking unscathed.

“Thank you, I will decline. As a fellow human being, I only helped with what I should have done.”

Park In-gwi, who translated the words intact.

“Thank you for your patience. He said he helped because he had to help as a fellow human being.”

Seeing this, Yu Rongqi’s face contorted.

“Park In-gwi! Could it be that you betrayed me!”

At that, Park In-gwi said with a calm expression.

“Isn’t it the right time to mention that, Manager Yu? Do you want all the facts to spread like this? This is giving you a chance now, a chance to put everything on the monster and quietly bury it.”

“This, like this dog…!”

From nob le mtl dot com

Most of the Awoken have already entered the gate.

That’s why even Han Ji-hyeok’s remaining power outside the gate was impossible to handle even one SS-level In-gwi Park.

In other words, Yu Rong-chi has no options left.

As long as Han Ji-hyeok flies and appears in front of people, that’s it.

“Do you want to negotiate or go all the way?”

In the end, Yu Rongqi said, biting her lip enough to bleed.

“I will contact the upper management….”

*

In the end, the Chinese government set the negotiating table.

And it was Park In-gwi who accompanied me to the negotiating table.

At that time, a person from the Chinese side appeared at the negotiating table.

“My name is Baekyang, the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”

“Who is that Yu Longqi?”

“They are said to be detained for investigation.”

“Uh huh. That’s too bad.”

I heard that he is the main culprit?

Of course, the whole plan went awry, so there’s a price to pay.

“First of all, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for exterminating the monsters with China.”

A remark that was tantamount to an agreement to blame everything that had happened so far on the monsters.

With this, China’s E-class gate will be recorded as one of the worst SS-class gates, taking the lives of over 200 Awakeners and dozens of SS-class.

“It was nothing. I just did what I had to do.”

I scratched it on purpose, but he’s definitely a diplomatic person, so he’s good at poker faces.

From nob le mtl dot com

Manager Baekyang answered with a calm expression.

“Still, being grateful means being grateful.”

“Ohh. Quite right.”

okay.

This is the negotiation.

“Ask what will happen to the remaining Awoken and the dead Awoken.”

When Park In-gwi relayed my words, manager Baek Yang spoke.

“The Awoken who died will be honored as heroes who sacrificed themselves to block the SS-class gate and will be rewarded adequately. The same goes for the rest of the Awoken.”

You mean everyone agreed to keep their mouths shut?

but.

It’s hard to say that they tried to assassinate with their mouths and failed.

I said with a bright smile.

“Everything is perfect. Now all you have to do is enjoy the peaceful life. Of course, before that… I should get paid for treating the monsters.”

In fact, I demanded the price of silence.

Director Baekyang nodded and said.

“I want you to tell me what you want.”

“First of all. I will take the guild leader Park In-gwi, the members of the guild, and their families to Korea.”

Park In-gwi is the strongest awakened Korean-Chinese who runs a Korean-Chinese guild.

Naturally, there were many Korean-Chinese awakened people under his command.

It wouldn’t be easy to manage if there were a lot of subordinates.

So take this opportunity to bring them all.

Of course, China would not want to let go of Park In-gwi, the traitor and the main culprit of this incident, like this, but now, China’s priority is to somehow deal with this situation.

If the assassination case is known, it will receive enormous criticism from the international community and may be subject to sanctions for crimes at the national level.

On top of that, the self-respecting Chinese government’s inability to deal with me even after mobilizing so much power is a stigma that leaves a huge scratch on its pride.

So the best thing for China would be to make this incident itself a thing of the past.

Compared to the failed assassination despite over 200 deaths, the saying “Even though 200 were sacrificed, the monster at the gate was dealt with and people were safe!” is much prettier.

In the end, Baekyang, who had been silent, nodded and said.

“I agree.”

Of course, he might try to get revenge somehow, such as an assassination attempt on Park In-gwi later, but that’s for later, and for now, China obediently lets go.

“okay. Then second.”

I said looking at the white sheep.

“The permission to purchase energy in China and the complete elimination of tariffs imposed by China on Korea, to be exact, on Seron. Shouldn’t these conditions be enough to pay for monsters?”
