Immediately after the transaction was normally completed, with the Secretary-General formally withdrawing the cartel provisions.

“….”

“….”

Chloe frowned, as if she was very displeased that her plan had gone wrong.

Meanwhile, unlike Chloe, Noah responded that it didn’t really matter what happened in the first place.

‘Well… given his personality, it’s probably none of his business whether the International Association suffers a loss or not.’

They must have been forced to come here to prepare for an unexpected armed situation.

No matter how the deal goes, it probably has nothing to do with that guy.

I immediately shrugged my shoulders and opened my mouth.

“Now then, let us slowly proceed with the subjugation. “It’s not like I’m going to stay when the deal is over.”

“…You want us to subdue it together? “Are you out of your mind?”

“I didn’t ask to do it together. “If you don’t like it, just sit there.”

There’s no need to bring along people you don’t like because you can do it on your own.

It’s obvious that it will only be a distraction.

“A-young Lee, are you going to wait here too?”

“Oh no. “I’ll go with you.”

They immediately follow me and get up, as if they don’t want to be around those people.

It was a time when I was about to take the first step with Director Lee Ah-young.

“I’ll go too.”

“…?”

Noah stood up and followed us.

It was quite unexpected that he would go on a subjugation together, but I immediately realized his true intentions.

“I just have something to ask you.”

“Of course.”

I smiled slightly.

It seemed like they were slowly responding to the groundbait that had been laid in advance.

However, Chloe also changed her attitude right away, as if she had never thought that Noah would come forward.

“…Then I’ll go too.”

“Didn’t you say you couldn’t subdue it together?”

“Don’t be mistaken. Because I’m going to keep an eye on you. “I know what other tricks you guys are planning.”

With a suspicious look in his eyes, he nodded as if to guide me quickly.

I said I wasn’t going earlier, but I really don’t have a superior.

I took the lead and crossed the hallway of the dungeon.

Meanwhile, Director Lee Ah-young quietly came next to me.

“You won’t go back and change your mind later, right?”

He looked at Chloe and Noah and asked in a hushed voice.

“That won’t be possible. “If you change your position twice, the credibility of what you say will only decrease.”

“But they are the ones who can’t live with losing. “I don’t think I’ll ever stay still.”

“Well, that’s true, but… it won’t work out the way I want it to.”

Director Lee Ah-young blinks as if wondering what he’s talking about.

“Didn’t you say that the last time you went to see Association President Lee Doo-Sik about absorbing our company and the Association, the Association President refused?”

“Oh yes, I heard. “Why is that?”

“You may have made that choice because the international association was slowing down at the time, but the president of the association probably felt alarmed by this incident. “As soon as the work is completed, the merger and acquisition will be pursued.”

“Then…”

“Yes.”

He looked again at the people following behind him and continued speaking.

“Soon Karma Corporation will disappear. “Even if you want revenge, there’s nothing you can do if the target disappears.”

Lee Ah-young nods slightly as if she finally understood.

The transaction was completed successfully.

The cartel regulations have been withdrawn, and the Korean punitive market can now function normally.

Of course, the International Association will push its teeth again, but once this incident is over, aren’t we going to disappear without a trace?

Since you eat only what you need and then fall right out, there is no room for any setbacks.

Nevertheless, Director Lee Ah-young’s expression was not good at all.

She kept glancing at the suitcase in Chloe’s hand.

Are you still worried?

“Are you nervous about handing over bank items?”

“To be honest, yes. “If the International Association is this obsessed… there must be something, right?”

“Well, that’s true, but…”

That’s true.

Looking at the hostile mergers and acquisitions that were carried out against us in the past, as well as the fact that they are trying to collect bank items while retrieving the right to subjugate the entire world, there is a high probability that there is something more that we do not know about.

“There is nothing to worry about right now. “Because the groundbait is already prepared.”

“…?”

She tilted her head, but since it was not the situation to talk here, she remained silent.

While we were talking, we reached the end of the hallway and a thick iron door appeared.

I spoke to the two women standing in front of them.

“You two, stay behind. “The subjugation will be handled between me and Mr. Noah.”

I approached the iron gate with Noah.

After confirming that there was some distance between the two people, I opened my mouth just before entering the boss room.

“So what do you want to ask?”

“…I’m not really close to reporters. No, there is no one I can call close to begin with. Of course, I’ve never told anyone about my personal life.”

His voice was quiet, perhaps because he was aware of the two people behind him.

“But… how on earth do you know that my sister is dead?”

“….”

I tried to hide my smile at that question.

As expected, he took the bait.

If this happens, the hilt of the sword has been handed over to me.

“Hmm, I think this story will be long.”

“doesn’t care.”

“Let’s start with subjugation. “Well, it’s not that urgent.”

He seemed very displeased.

However, it seems strange to anyone to talk leisurely right before the subjugation.

He nodded as if he had no choice.

In the end, we matched each other’s signals, opened the iron door, and entered the boss room.

Paang-!!

An unexpectedly strong wave exploded outside the door.

“Aaaah!”

“Ugh!”

Director Lee Ah-young and Chloe were instantly thrown back by the shock.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr….

A strange crying sound was heard.

After a while, six arms and two pairs of wings sealed in thick chains appeared.

Orange-level split dungeon boss.

Beelzebub.

“It looks dirty.”

“Let’s go to the conclusion quickly. “It’s not something I want to see for a long time.”

[Unique Skill: Apocalypse – Awakening]

[Last Survivor]

[Unique Skill: Demon King – The strong dominate]

[While the unique skill lasts, if the magic power is lower than the caster, all attacks are nullified.]

Two skills were immediately activated. .

Twisting, tsssssssssss-.

At the same time, Beelzebub let out a cry of fear.

‘Damn you…’

Even after the press conference, Secretary General Wesley could not cool down his anger.

In fact, in the end, the transaction proceeded as planned and nothing was lost.

However, if I had really intended to just receive the bank items and get out of the situation cleanly, I wouldn’t have gone to the trouble of sending Noah in the first place.

There was no intention in the first place to relax the regulations as the other party wanted.

In the meantime, there’s no way they’ll just hand over the items.

That’s why we sent Noah along.

If the other side tried to do something, I planned to stop it with force.

But I never thought we would create a situation where even military force could not intervene.

‘If we just define it as a cartel again…’

No, that’s not enough.

Changing one’s position again will only lower trust within the international community.

Considering the long-term trend, the disadvantage is significant.

Here, we must admit defeat and take a step back.

But even so, I couldn’t help but feel angry.

“Don’t worry too much about it. Didn’t you simply retract your previous statement without causing any major damage? Above all, there are still plenty of means to keep things in check…”

The assistant secretary opened his mouth insinuatingly, perhaps because he thought the secretary general was overreacting.

But he got annoyed by that absurd sound.

“Do you know how many punitive organizations collapsed after we defined Korea as a cartel?”

“yes yes?”

“A total of 18 companies, 9 local governments, and 61 subcontractors related to them have all withdrawn from the subjugation market. In the meantime, the only ones holding on are the Karma Corporation.”

“….”

“Now Karma Corporation will swallow up the completely tattered subjugation market and rebound like crazy.”

The secretary, who belatedly realized the situation, was speechless.

No matter what happens, if you survive, you become stronger.

With competitors disappearing, it was obvious that the company would grow at an alarming rate.

Of course, it was natural that as the body grew larger, it would be difficult to respond as before.

If a company that has grown in that way becomes one with the association…

‘We will have no choice but to respond passively like before…’

The scale is large, but if it is taken into the public sphere, it becomes difficult to check or threaten in a simple way. .

If you touch it wrongly, it may be considered interference with a country and you may have to endure international criticism.

‘If the association were to be absorbed into Karma Corporation, there would be room to do something….’

Who would want the Korean association to make such a choice?

‘You really stopped them properly…’

This press conference did not simply release the shackles on Karma Corporation.

It’s like giving them wings.

Now, the problem has gone beyond just Kim Jun-woo.

“…Anyway, how on earth did CEO Kim Jun-woo come up with this plan?”

At that time, the secretary reminded me of a question I had forgotten for a while.

“Wouldn’t they know in advance that a split dungeon would appear and decide on a trading location? Wouldn’t they even know the interactive dungeon in advance and have troops on standby? Is this possible with human capabilities?”

“…no.”

“yes?”

“It is absolutely impossible. “This is not something that can be achieved simply by having insight.”

Isn’t this not insight, but perfect foresight of the future?

It can only be seen as something that has gone far beyond the scope of humans.

‘Could it be that there is a skill to predict the future?’

No, that can’t be possible.

Such ability does not exist in the first place.

All of these abilities are focused on subjugation, and although there are differences between them, they are ultimately just tools for battle.

“Then how on earth does CEO Kim Jun-woo know about this plan?…”

“There is only one thing I can think of.”

Secretary General Wesley calmed his trembling lips and finally opened his mouth.

“They really came from the future…”

“…Haha.”

The secretary seemed to think it was a joke and burst out laughing.

However, Secretary General Wesley did not look like he was joking at all.

“Are you sure that the bank items handed over over there are Si-seok Si-seok and Neung-seok Lee?”

“Yes, yes… for now, that is what has been confirmed.”

“Time stone… Time stone…”

Secretary General Wesley muttered those words over and over again, lost in thought.

How many minutes passed like that?

Soon a smile began to spread across his lips.

“Please contact Team Leader Chloe now.”

“yes?”

“Bring your bank items to me as soon as you enter the country.”

“…I understand. It looks like we are still conquering the split dungeon, so I will contact you when we return.”

The secretary left the office after saying those last words.

‘If I’m right…’

there might be a way.

There is a way to get rid of Kim Jun-woo completely.

If that’s the case, then going out of your way to get the bank item now may actually be a good thing.

Secretary General Wesley’s eyes gradually revived.
