“Have we entered a dungeon?…”

Secretary General Wesley, who was watching the transaction status on a small monitor, sounded very embarrassed.

And immediately he burst out laughing.

‘I never thought I would choose a dungeon as a trading location…’

It was truly something I could not have imagined.

I couldn’t help but wonder how far the plan had gone.

Secretary General Wesley immediately opened his mouth to the assistant secretary next to him.

“Quickly find out what dungeon they are in now.”

“yes yes?”

“You don’t know what preparations they may have made to suit the nature of the dungeon.”

“Maybe they just chose the dungeon because of security issues…? No matter how much Kim Jun-woo is, it is impossible to figure out what type of dungeon will appear and prepare accordingly in advance…” At

that moment, Secretary General Wesley’s eyes became sharp.

“So you’re saying you’re going to ignore my instructions now?”

“Oh, no, that’s not it…”

She didn’t reply any further and immediately took out her cell phone. The recipient is the headquarters control team.

“Please provide information on the dungeon that has now appeared in Incheon Port, Korea.”

“This is an order from the Secretary General. yes yes. “Please do so as soon as possible.”

It was only after finishing the phone call that Secretary General Wesley’s spirit subsided.

He fixed his gaze on the monitor again.

“What on earth are you trying to do?…”

There may be a hint of something suspicious.

I couldn’t take my eyes off him even for a second, but other thoughts kept popping up in the back of my head.

‘…No matter how much I think about it, it’s strange.’

You predicted the appearance of a dungeon and set the date and location for the transaction?

Well, let’s say we received help from the Korean Association in predicting the appearance of dungeons.

However, predicting the exact time of appearance is impossible even for the international headquarters equipped with the best detection system.

In the first place, this is not an area that can be done with human capabilities.

No matter how intelligent and insightful he is, unless he has been through the same dungeon once…

‘…Wait a minute.’

At that moment, I remembered what Kim Jun-woo said in the previous phone call.

-I have been holding the sword ever since I came back from the dead.

Secretary General Wesley folded his hands and brought them to his mouth.

It was a time when I was lost in thought.

The secretary opened his mouth thoughtfully.

“The information has been confirmed. “But this is…”

“Why are you like that? “Is there something wrong?”

“Oh no. Rather than that…”

I hesitated for a moment about what to say.

Soon, he hesitated and opened his mouth.

“Strictly speaking, it’s not a dungeon.”

“…what?”

The Secretary General’s eyes narrowed.

***

As we entered the dungeon, the scene of a dark medieval dungeon was revealed.

A dimensional dungeon created in a space different from reality.

Chloe and Noah moved around, looking closely inside the dungeon.

It’s natural.

You will need to obtain as much information about the dungeon as possible in case of unexpected situations.

When I reached the middle of the narrow and long passage, I stopped and opened my mouth.

“It would be enough if we came this far. Now let’s get on with it.”

“Let’s look at the items first.”

In response to Chloe’s request, Director Lee Ah-young nodded and she held out two suitcases.

I carefully opened the bag in front of them.

Yellow and blue ores appeared.

Chloe’s eyes sparkled with the same color when she saw this.

“…Is it okay if I check it?”

“of course.”

Chloe put on gloves and took out the device she had brought.

This involves using a device to check whether an item is genuine.

“The thing is clear.”

“Then now you have to pay for that too. “Please withdraw your definition of the Korean subjugation organization as a cartel.”

“That’s not something we can do here, so we’ll go back later…”

“No. “You need to do it right now.”

Who do you know as a fanboy?

Just to get stuff from somewhere and get rid of it.

“It’s not going to work out if you’re being pushy like that. There are more than one or two things we need to prepare…”

“Do you want to deal with cancer? But… there won’t be time for that.”

I said, looking at the lens on her bag.

“You’ve probably checked the dungeon information by now, right?”

“….”

“If you have checked, you will know that I am not being unreasonable. We don’t have much time, Secretary General. “You should hold a press conference right now and withdraw the cartel regulations.”

Even if it’s impossible, should we make it happen?

“This is a ‘split dungeon’ that hasn’t been activated yet.”

“…!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Chloe’s expression hardened.

Most dungeons are completed in one space.

This means that each dungeon has no connection whatsoever and does not influence each other.

But split dungeons are different.

This is the only dungeon that interacts with other dungeons.

‘It’s not a very dangerous dungeon to begin with…’

In fact, the split dungeon itself has no meaning.

Basically, it is an inactive dungeon without a boss, and it disappears over time without causing any damage.

So, if something happens, the association doesn’t necessarily try to suppress it.

However, if you have entered the situation, things are different.

It’s easy to enter, but you can’t exit as you wish.

The split dungeon is not a dungeon in itself, but is more like an empty space somewhere in the dimension.

Therefore, if you went out before the subjugation was completed, you could be trapped in a dimensional gap.

Therefore, once we are here, we must activate the dungeon in order to leave.

And the way to activate the split dungeon is….

“You have to defeat all specific dungeons that interact with the split dungeon….”

“You know very well. But that’s not the real problem.”

Finding a specific dungeon isn’t difficult if you have enough time.

The real problem is that split dungeons can only be inactive for an hour.

If you fail to activate within it, this space will completely disappear.

This means that if you don’t conquer all of the interactive dungeons within one hour, everyone here will be trapped here forever along with their bank items.

“Is this Operation Water Ghost? It’s not worth taking a risk on. “It’s a specific dungeon, and it’s okay if we find out first and subdue it.”

Noah said casually, but Chloe shook her head.

“I need at least a day to find out all about a particular dungeon. “One hour is not enough.”

“what? So you’re saying I can’t get out of here in the first place?”

“You don’t have to worry about that. Our personnel is already waiting in front of every specific dungeon. “As long as you pay the right price, we will proceed with the subjugation right away.”

Chloe let out a chuckle.

“Do not lie. “It makes no sense to have figured it all out before the dungeon appeared.”

“Then let’s just call what I said a lie and see if there is another way. Of course, whatever you do, you’ll have to do it within an hour.”

“….”

Shadows began to appear on Chloe and Noah’s faces.

Of course, you may not believe me, but there is absolutely not enough time to find another way.

Besides, my life is at stake here.

I don’t know, but I can’t help but think that there is something on my side that I believe in.

No matter how cornered they are, no one would risk their life in a crazy deal.

So they have no choice.

If you want to live, you have to believe even if you don’t want to believe.

Chloe, who was lost in thought for a moment, asked a question.

“But is it possible to subdue us as soon as we express our position? “They must be at least yellow grade or higher.”

“of course. Recently, the necessary power has been increased. But… as you know, we are a cartel, so subjugation is impossible. Therefore, it is necessary to express your position in order to proceed with the subjugation.”

I spoke to the lens again.

“The longer you delay in expressing your position, the longer the suppression will be, and if that happens, you may end up losing your bank items as well.”

I tapped the lens with my finger as if knocking.

I’m not sure if I’m listening well.

It’s a pretty important story.

“If we don’t come to the end, then you too….”

“What else is there? “We all die together.”

“I don’t understand… Why is this risking one’s life?”

“How can you do business with an international association without that level of determination?”

“Your subordinates won’t just sit back and watch.”

“My subordinates listen well. “I told them not to move until I told them to.”

I answered with a smile.

She’s trying hard to pretend it’s not true, but she’s actually right.

Given the nature of Kim Min-ju and Han Yu-bin, who are waiting outside, it is obvious that they will arbitrarily proceed with the subjugation when the time comes until the very end in order to save me.

If that happens, of course the current transaction will go through the water.

So from now on, it’s a chicken race.

Either hold on and believe that my employees will someday subdue me to save me.

Or maybe they accept the deal before then.

If we hold out like that until the end… at the last moment, the one who is more scared will end up first.

If no one pays attention until the very end…

‘Kim Min-ju will move on his own.’

Because I’m not the type of guy to leave alone until I die.

***

Incheon Port outside the dungeon.

“….”

“….”

Immediately after Kim Jun-woo entered the dungeon, Kim Min-ju and Han Yu-bin said nothing.

I just stare at the dungeon entrance with nervous eyes, feeling anxious.

“…It’ll be okay, right?”

Breaking the long silence, Minju Kim spoke first.

Then Han Yubin nodded, trying to act relaxed.

Of course, Yubin Han wasn’t sure either.

It’s natural.

Who can be sure in this situation?

Just believe and wait.

‘There are degrees of being really reckless…’

When Kim Jun-woo first explained the strategy, of course everyone, including her, tried to stop him.

The moment your plan goes awry, you’ll be trapped in a dungeon forever. Who would agree to such an insane plan?

But Kim Jun-woo did not back down.

‘If we don’t come out to this level, the International Association will definitely hit us in the back.’

Since he came out so decisively, there was no one who could oppose him.

Kim Min-ju said that he would accompany her, but Kim Jun-woo flatly refused.

The reason why the punitive force was brought in was because of the loss of power.

For the same reason, Han Yu-bin was also dismissed.

So, the companion was naturally chosen to be Director Lee Ah-young.

Lee Ah-young also willingly participated in the plan that could lead to her death.

‘I can’t believe they would risk their lives for us…’

He was expressing deep reverence in his heart.

Han Yubin cautiously opened her mouth.

“But you know what? Really what if. “If they don’t listen to our demands until the end… what are you going to do then?”

“….”

“No matter how I think about it, my life is more important than trading. If you don’t think it will work, we can just subdue it first…”

“No.”

Minju Kim answered firmly.

“Teacher, you have risked even death for us. “If we go out on our own, what will happen to that determination?”

“….”

“So…no matter what happens, we won’t be the first to subdue it.”

Kim Min-ju’s eyes were firm and reverent, as if he was determined for something.

She never intended to save Kim Jun-woo.
