Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 665
Episode 665:
There are three major organizations in the integrated 95-story city.
These people belong to the shadows and engage in various businesses that go back and forth between illegal and legal.
There was a deep connection between workers and the common people.
“If you think about it, it’s not enough to call it one of the top three organizations.”
“It’s not like I’m working in a wealthy area.”
In fact, it has no influence on wealthy villages where the core of the city is gathered.
Don’t even go in in the first place.
Why would you be so greedy just because you have something to eat?
I am eating well and living well here now.
“In wealthy villages, the scale itself is smaller than here, but there are teams of talented problem solvers.”
“Chocolate mousse was one of them.”
The two have a history of working in wealthy villages.
You probably know more than me.
The wealthy villages and this area are separated because each business and area of activity is different.
To put it another way.
“It means that there is no way for those in wealthy villages to interfere. “When it comes to the top 3 organizations, there may be a line connected to the wealthy community.”
“Even so, they don’t move unless it benefits them.”
This was important.
If there is interference from the other side, it will be difficult.
“You don’t have to worry about the wealthy.”
When I nod, Choco Choco makes a puzzled expression.
“If you were going to care about that, shouldn’t you have written about it a long time ago?”
“I’m saying let’s be careful even now.”
“Hmm. hmm! “Sometimes it is better to act first.”
I looked away and Tralow cleared his throat.
Something like that too.
“Anyway, your little finger was smashed, right?”
To be exact, the meeting place where the leaders gathered was destroyed.
At first, I thought about destroying a few places of business.
‘This guy’s grudge against Tralow is bigger than I thought.’
In addition, I knew a lot because I had been there before.
That’s why I was able to find the place where they were gathered.
Unfortunately, it could not be annihilated.
They were big guys in their own right, so they didn’t have any defense measures.
Bodyguards jump in to block the sudden explosion and a defensive artifact explodes.
‘The power of each individual wasn’t bad either.’
It ended with three of the six executives gathered dying.
The leader is Gyeongsang.
The other two had deep wounds and were transported somewhere.
You’ll probably come to your senses soon.
There are many ways to restore the body, whether it’s potions or skills.
but.
“Since the workshop has been left in shambles, the Serrated Horn mercenaries will also move in.”
One of the three major organizations.
Serrated Horn mercenaries.
Although I wonder why there are mercenaries in the city.
‘It doesn’t mean there aren’t monsters here either.’
Rather, it has more diverse types than general fields.
The city is guarded by guards, so they won’t come, but if you go a little further, a monster will appear.
That was the place where we left the Altar of Blood.
I encountered a few on the way back to the city.
That’s good news.
‘I’ll use it later.’
It’s not important right now, so just remember it.
The time has come.
-Quaang!
They say even tigers will come if you tell them what to do.
As soon as I think about it, the door opens.
The person who came inside with a red face was Dreckfree.
“How did this happen!”
Oh. Sajafune as soon as I arrived.
Your voice is also good.
He picked his slightly sore ears and pointed to the sofa across from him.
The guy is still grinning and glaring at me.
Embarrassing people.
If you don’t want to sit, don’t.
“It was an action to help your ambition.”
“ambition? What kind of bullshit is that…”
“Uh-huh! There is no need to hide it from us. “Aren’t we already in the same boat?”
I gave a thumbs up to the guy who looked like he had no idea what he was talking about.
“I know you were trying to unify the three major organizations, starting with taking over the Black Hook.”
“No, what. uh?”
The guy stutters, perhaps because he hit the nail on the head.
okay. I thought so.
He seems like a man overflowing with ambition.
He spoke quickly with a satisfied expression.
“They created their own force based on private lending and collected military funds and food. “Wasn’t recruiting talent from different fields through me all for the purpose of a war of power?”
“That’s right. “It is true that it was to ensure my position within the organization.”
Dreckfree, who was taking a moment to catch his breath, screamed.
“But it wasn’t like that because it was a merger of the three major organizations!”
Again and again. To be ashamed.
Humility is not the only virtue.
Sometimes you have to know how to step forward confidently.
“It’s not good to be too humble. So I stepped forward instead.”
“You came forward instead?”
The guy’s eyes are shaking uneasily.
That too for a while.
“…no way?”
“I came here after declaring war.”
“To whom?”
“Of course, it’s the other three major organizations!”
Dreckfree closes his eyes tightly.
The story is probably going around inside Black Hook by now.
There’s no way I wouldn’t get caught after doing something like this.
Fortunately, I must have gotten the information quickly because I was selling his name.
Many of his customers were ordinary citizens, and they would have passed on information in exchange for canceling some of their debt.
‘There are some things that I intentionally added information to.’
Through the people I met at the Altar of Blood, I spread the word that Dreckfree had attacked the Little Finger organization.
From the looks of it, he didn’t seem to know that war had been declared.
Anyway, how is it?
You just need to know now.
“…At the same time, there are more enemies to deal with. Now even the black hook will aim at me.”
I was shocked for a moment.
As smart as you are, understand the situation first.
It’s just as he said.
It must be burdensome for Black Hook to fight against another organization.
Even though the little finger has completely disintegrated, the boss is still alive.
What is the easiest way to go?
“You’d say all of this was something I did unexpectedly.”
“I will try to resolve the situation by handing you over.”
“Who knows that!”
Why are you so angry?
I’m telling you that everything will be fine.
This is not a problem that can simply be overlooked.
Not only will we have to hand over part of our business, but we will also have to pay a certain amount of compensation.
That’s the direction in which we will suffer less losses.
Of course, if it goes like this.
“It means I will definitely die.”
“Uh huh. What are you talking about! In the end, if you swallow it all, there will be no problem!”
Dreckfree glared at me, but I pretended not to see him.
One way or another, there is only one option.
“McDalton.”
At his call, the guy waiting at the door approaches.
“Assemble all emergency forces. “We provide food, weapons and armor.”
“All right.”
“I’ll give you 6 hours.”
It was an incredibly tight time, but there were no complaints.
Well, if you don’t move quickly, there is no answer.
Other organizations also need time to respond to unexpected events.
You have to hit it before that.
If we fight after everything is ready, our number of people will be much smaller.
This means that you have to fight from a much disadvantaged position.
The good news is that there is no need to reduce the enemy’s entire power?
‘In the end, all you have to do is cut off the leader.’
This is especially true for such a large-scale organization.
There is a possibility that among those absorbed, there will be someone who refuses to be absorbed and causes an uproar.
‘That’s it, just replace all the executives and that’s it.’
Those who don’t listen can be kicked out.
There may be a lot of talk internally, but what is it?
The ones who should be criticized above are the members of the organization.
Regardless of whether the person above you changes or not, as long as you have deep pockets, you won’t say anything.
There is something else that is important.
“Which one do you plan on hitting first?”
This is it.
I held my chin in response to Dreckfree’s question.
The black hook that will come here first?
Or a half-broken little finger?
The Serrated Horn mercenaries must have heard the news by now and are confused?
“If you can eat it, it’s better to eat the little fingers first.”
“If you completely absorb it, there will be no reason for Black Hook to sell you out.”
“yes.”
The option that gets the most first.
Instead, if you fail, you are ruined.
Then next choice.
“There is also a way to join the Gearhorn mercenaries. “I’ll think about what happens afterwards.”
A kind of escape.
They also benefit if they accept us.
If it absorbs Dreckfree’s power, it will have the greatest power among the three major organizations.
It is the safest method.
However, in this case, even if we merge the three major organizations, our position will be greatly reduced.
“It would be a good idea to receive the black hook first.”
“Let’s skip that. “It’s going to get in the way no matter what you do anyway, so it’s better to deal with it in the middle.”
“You’re not wrong.”
Dreckfree also nods in agreement.
So here’s the problem.
Now that many situations are at stake, should we choose the side that will suffer the least loss?
Or should we choose the one with the greatest benefit?
“Is there any need to think of us as a standard?”
The answer was simple.
“Just go where they will lose the most.”
If we are on the same path to failure, we have the advantage.
Because they are the majority and we are the minority.
Having a lot of people means having a lot of people to lose, and that means a lot.
“It means that there is noise inside.”
A group that has lost control is no different from a large punching bag.
Here again the problem.
So what can we do to ensure that everyone is harmed?
At the same time, where is the best place to fight?
At least the location is fixed.
“…I’m thinking of using your underground shopping mall as a battlefield.”
“bingo.”
A place that is in the shadows but has connections with all organizations.
There is nothing other than an underground shopping mall.
“Let’s scale up what we’re doing.”
During the three-generation integration, the underground shopping mall, which was no different from neutral ground, is also absorbed.
I originally wanted to do this a bit slowly, but I had no choice.
In order to become wealthy, not only military force but also financial resources are needed.
The underground shopping mall is enough to make up for that.
‘I’m just going to give the boss some shit.’
When I thought about it, I got really angry.
Same goes for when you work in a factory and when you go to the Altar of Blood.
Should I call him the type that earns a beating?
Just destroying the transmission magic circle won’t relieve the anger.
In that sense.
“Everyone gather around. “I will tell you each person’s mission.”
Gathered everyone in one place.
Choco Choco, who was a foot away, probably because he hated headaches, and Tralow, who was quietly listening to the story, had his arms crossed.
Things will work out only if these guys move at the same time.
As my words continue, their faces harden.
Why do they do that?
“Have you never tried it? terror?”
I tilted my head.
Others said, ‘What are you doing?’ He looked at me with that expression.
* * *
-Great love! Great love! Great love!
The bell rings in the dark night.
It’s not like a monster appeared somewhere.
It’s just that as we rampage in earnest, the guards are warning citizens not to get involved.
The three major organizations conduct business for the general public.
Nevertheless, there were some parts that never crossed the line.
‘I won’t kill you unless you owe me something. Especially openly.’
There may be some sneaking around behind the scenes, but at least they don’t do that to the public.
because.
From the moment the guards determine that you are an enemy, everything you do in Yangji is blocked.
I’m not saying it’s just a distraction.
It’s a systematic disadvantage.
In short, the security corps is a system-certified police force.
Therefore, even if a fight breaks out between organizations, it does not cause an uproar in a private home.
I also knew that, so I had no intention of causing any significant damage to the civilian population.
“ah! “I want to explode!”
-Quaaaaaang!
“That crazy bastard!”
“Stop it! Stop them from going there!”
“You’re not just a fool!”
Now things have changed.
Strictly speaking, it did not attack people.
Just do it as you would.
Should I say that I walk a tightrope?
Thanks to this, there was some commotion, such as fountains and other buildings collapsing.
‘This can be fixed somehow.’
Rather, if it was a problem that could be solved financially, it was considered an easy problem.
Well, it wasn’t what those guys saw.
because.
“no! “That’s not our mercenary group!”
“Damn it! “You little finger bastards!”
“What bullshit! “Why are we doing something like this?”
Because Choco Choco and Tralow Dreadfree moved according to my instructions.
Tralow, who was part of Little Finger, seemed to be from there.
Choco Choco, who worked as a troubleshooter in a wealthy village, obtained clothes from the Gearhorn mercenaries and delivered them to me.
I also had Paul and Victon do the work.
They belong to Black Hook in the first place, so there is no need to disguise themselves.
In short, to an unfamiliar person, it would appear that all three major organizations were in trouble.
The result is this.
“Guide me this way!”
“Better move to the underground shopping mall!”
“shit. “I can’t even predict what kind of fallout there will be.”
To avoid causing trouble in a civilian area, they dragged us into the underground shopping mall.
It’s the right choice.
It’s a semi-lawless area.
It’s a place that secretly treats people as commodities and deals with them. How scary is it?
Naturally, I followed their directions and moved to the underground shopping mall.
A place where Drekfrey’s undercover subordinates gather.
“Everyone arrived on time.”
“Evileye, this is crazy.”
“Brother, do I really only trust you?”
Unlike Tralow, who is relatively calm, Paul and Victon have half-crying expressions.
It might be a little unfair.
Their only crime is that they fell under the dreadlocks because of me.
Is there anything else?
That’s what human life is like.
“Then this place is roughly in shape.”
-Chaang.
I drew my sword.
Now all we have to do is buy time.
Choco Choco and Dreck Free are not here.
‘Hits an empty tissue.’
In short, robbing an empty house.
You can trust Drekfree, who leads the army of debt collectors, and Choco Choco, who has returned from the Altar of Blood several times alive.
This is where the battle begins.
The main plant on soybeans.
“Why why, in front of my factory! stop! “Stop!”
The head merchant runs towards me, waving his arms.
It is worth seeing him foaming while contemplating.
In that sense.
“Do you really need money? Just change your seat!”
-Baaaaagh!
I opened fire by blowing off the guy’s chin.
“Wipe it all away!”
“Wow!”
“Kill the enemies!”
Tonight.
Integrate the three major organizations.
