Martial God Regressed to Level 2 - Chapter 58
< The God of War Returned to Level 2 Episode 58 >

“Hahaha. long time no see. Holy Army. do you remember me Didn’t you say hello when you visited the Sword King before?”
Kim Nam-tae, a middle-aged man with a bloated body, is the head of Battle.net’s management department.
As soon as he entered the penthouse, he kindly reached out to Seong Ji-han.
“Long time no see.”
“hello. Chief.”
“okay. okay. Our Se-ah has grown up pretty well. Let’s go in and talk.”
Kim Nam-tae smiled at Yoon Se-ah and walked past them to the living room.
Manager Park Yoon-sik, who was following him, bowed his head slightly to Seong Ji-han.
“You played well today. He was great too.”
“thank you. But it wasn’t long after the game was over, and I didn’t expect you to visit… … What are you doing?”
“ah. That’s because the director must have something to say today… … .”
The manager himself?
“scent. After all, the house is nice!”
Seong Ji-han frowned as he saw Kim Nam-tae screaming in the living room as if he was already at home.
What did a typical small man who is weak to the strong and strong to the weak suddenly say he would come for?
“You said you would donate this house. That’s great.”
The manager, who was already sitting at a table in the living room, gestured towards the two of them.
Seong Ji-han’s eyebrows furrowed even more at the attitude of treating a person below him.
“Ugh, the director’s personality is a bit voluptuous… … Thank you for your understanding.”
“… … is it so.”
Seong Ji-han looked at Manager Park Yoon-sik’s face, relaxed his expression, and sat down.
“hmm. I came all the way here, but I’m thirsty. Anything to drink?”
“Ah~ Chief. Would you like some orange juice or coffee?”
“ah. Yes, Miss Seaa. Then put some ice in the orange juice and give it to me. It’s because it’s so hot these days. ha ha ha.”
“yes. What about the manager and uncle?”
“I am okay.”
“I’m fine too.”
In that way, with the juice placed only in front of the manager, Seong Ji-han and Yoon Se-ah, and the manager and manager faced each other across the table.
Gulp –
After leisurely drinking orange juice, the director of management opened his mouth to Seong Ji-han.
“Holy Army. You did a great job this time. In a situation where the King of Swords left the country and the country was depressed, even though you are bronze, the people are very happy that you entered the TOP 100 promotion match and even won the championship.”
For some reason, it seemed that the director of management emphasized ‘although bronze’, but compliments are compliments anyway.
“Thank you for the blessing.”
“I have good news for you.”
“… … What news?”
“The Battle.net administration decided to award a certificate of excellence for achievement.”
“… … .”
Sung Ji-han was dumbfounded.
Certificate of Excellence in Achievement.
‘Did he just bring it and show off like that?’
At least it’s not like giving GP, it’s just giving a piece of paper.
Seeing that, I was afraid of not accepting it, but Seong Ji-han nodded lightly, thinking that he would accept the gift.
“It’s a commendation… … thank you.”
“ha ha ha. okay. To receive a commendation for a player who has just entered the Silver League is truly unprecedented. What an honor.”
With a letter of commendation that could not be sold, Kim Nam-tae showed all kinds of condescension.
He gave long speeches about how honorable this citation was to the extent that not only Seong Ji-han, who was listening to him, but also Manager Park Yoon-sik, who followed him, felt uncomfortable.
“By the way.”
The topic suddenly changed.
“I heard there was a problem factor in receiving the citation.”
“A problem?”
“okay. I heard you’re having some trouble with the Daehan Ilbo… … .”
Ssik-
Kim Nam-tae smiled and continued.
“A bit with that. Shouldn’t we loosen up? The Daehan Ilbo family is still in the top 10 in the business world in terms of influence.”
Nam-tae Kim, the head of the Battle.net management office, who was discussing this, recalled what happened a few days ago.
* * *
– Chief! Our son was assaulted by Seong Ji-han.
A reception hosted by the president of an advertising agency affiliated with the Daehan Ilbo.
As the atmosphere heated up as the alcohol went back and forth to some extent, the president called Kim Nam-tae to the town hall.
– No, what do you mean? Is it assault?
-My son is a silver rank warrior, and his leg was completely broken no matter what technique he used. He said it would take several months just to rehabilitate. I’d like to sue, but… … .
Having said that, the boss sighed deeply.
– A writer named Seong Ji-han has a very high reputation as a promising player. I’m worried that the image of the head office will not get better if I complain about it with someone like that.
-Hmm… … It can be.
-So, in order to reach an amicable agreement, how about taking over the management of Sung Ji-han from our side… … .
When Kim Nam-tae heard that, he widened his eyes.
– What do you mean? No matter how many assault cases there are, to say that you are trying to manage a player who has been blessed with such things.
Even at this time, Kim Nam-tae thoroughly tried to represent Seong Ji-han.
Who is Sung Ji-han?
This player, who entered Battle.net and never missed first place, had the potential to become a star player.
It means the goose that lays golden eggs.
But, at best, the Daehan Ilbo is supported by this type of entertainment?
From Kim Nam-tae’s point of view, this could never be the case.
but.
-Of course, we don’t just ask the Director-General for help.
-Hmm… … sure?
– We will share our share of the profits.
Are you sharing the profits?
Then the story will be different.
‘Sacred. He was a guy with no backbone.’
Sung Ji-han, whom I often saw in the penthouse when I went to bow down to Sword King Yoon Se-jin.
In Kim Nam-tae’s view, he was an insignificant young man who lived only by the halo of the sword king.
‘Something like that. If an adult speaks, of course they will follow.’
Kim Nam-tae had the confidence to persuade Seong Ji-han.
In particular, the tip he heard from the president of an advertising agency added to his confidence.
-that… … I’ll let you know if it helps to convince you. Isn’t it Yun Se-ah? They said the gift came out badly. To the extent that the player would not dare to do it.
… … .
“Although the Daehan Ilbo is a victim of assault, they made a generous offer to you. He said he would manage you for 5 years and be in charge of the advertising agency. You are well aware of the influence of the Daehan Ilbo, right? Leave it to them and it will be a win-win.”
“Daehan Ilbo.”
“okay. You said you broke the leg of the boss’s son? To say that I’m going to have a good time with you as an advertisement agency! Hehe, isn’t your heart really broad?”
“… … haha.”
As soon as Sung Ji-han heard that, he laughed.
It was absurd that he had thrown away time and emotions like this because of the owner of a company he had no memory of when he was in the United States.
And with no intentions like this?
‘Rather, it went well.’
Seong Ji-han decided to abandon the concept of ‘courtesy’ at this point.
“hey. Would you like me to talk bullshit in moderation?”
“… … what?”
Manager Kim Nam-tae blinked.
Cognitive dissonance was caused by a sudden change in circumstances.
Putting aside flatulence, the contempt-filled gaze he had never received since taking office as the director of management was so unfamiliar.
“What are you saying now… … .”
“I was going to deal with it moderately and let it go, but it crossed the line.”
“… … !?”
“Indeed, how much did you get from the Daehan Ilbo?”
Seong Ji-han’s sudden change of attitude made her embarrassed.
Kim Nam-tae, who had come to his senses, shook his body and burst into anger.
“this… … You ignorant bastard!”
“You lost the concept. I don’t want to see you, so get out of the house quickly.”
swish
At Seong Ji-han’s hand gesture, Kim Nam-tae’s face turned bright red.
No, I dare to say to myself, who is now the head of the Battle.net management office.
How can a player who is only a silver leaguer be so rude?
Kim Nam-tae pouted his cheeks and said.
“You you you this bastard… … The Sword Palace donation I received for you. I was not taking care of it!”
“So did Puck. Will you rock it?”
“OK. right now! Get out of this house!”
Although Kim Nam-tae thought it was an effective threat, he said it, but Seong Ji-han, who actually answered, was calm.
“I’m ready to go out anyway, so don’t be childish.”
“This profit… … ! Not to be arrogant that bronze paid attention to a silver subject!”
“Why did a guy who is not even bronze wear a coat of arms? If it’s a parachute, be quiet like a parachute. Because I don’t like to mix things up.”
“this!!!”
Kim Nam-tae could not hold back his anger and picked up the orange juice glass placed in front of him.
but.
Chew-!
“Kheop!”
Before Kim Nam-tae even threw a glass at Seong Ji-han.
The contents of the juice glass moved randomly and splashed on Kim Nam-tae’s face.
“Calm down.”
Seong Ji-han kindly cared about the manager’s condition.
“Ouch… … You crazy child! Do you use your abilities?”
“What ability does a silver subject have? I don’t know what you mean.”
“under! I tried to cover up the fact that Yoon Se-ah’s gift was ruined so that rumors wouldn’t spread!”
“Seah… … ?”
Seong Ji-han, whose face became bewildered for an instant, looked at Yoon Se-ah next to him and smiled.
“Sea. Are you ruined?”
“no. Did I come out all right?”
“The bluff! Didn’t you say you were going to fail and take the CSAT?”
Ji-Han Seong, on the cusp of the Director General, could roughly guess where he got his information.
Did they question the guard who was watching them at that time?
“Contrary to your worries, it came out well, so don’t worry. Are you going home now?”
Poof- Seong Ji-
han gestured, and this time the manager’s body floated up.
“uh… … Ugh! let go of this! Don’t let this go?!”
At that time, Manager Park Yoon-sik, who had been restless next to him, jumped up.
“I will take you out for now!”
“Park Yoon-shik! What are you doing! Are you scared of him!?”
“Chief of the Bureau! However, once you go… … !”
“Kuk!”
Park Yun-sik bowed without Kim Nam-tae noticing and quickly took him out of the penthouse.
Yoon Se-ah, who was watching the scene, looked at Seong Ji-han with a worried face.
“uncle… … Didn’t you have a big accident?”
“I? what?”
“You challenged a person who could have been the head of the Battle.net administration. If you’re the manager, you’re probably the manager of the Battle.net industry… … .”
“Ah, what kind of manager is that guy like that?”
Sung Ji-han smiled.
“That person is not even a player. It’s just a politician parachuting down.”
“is it… … ? Isn’t it a problem if you treat me like this?”
“It would have been like that in the old days.”
If it was the old world where Battle.net didn’t come in.
It would have been in the days when money and power were used as the dominant means of human governance, but the world was different now.
In this era, the players themselves became the main agents and dominated the world.
It’s just that older generations couldn’t accept it.
However, they couldn’t go against the huge current of Battle.net, so what they compromised on was ‘Association’, a ‘group’ and ‘combat’.
‘by the way. If this happens, the Daehan Ilbo will publish an article about Sae-A.’
Based on the guard’s words, the story that Yoon Se-ah’s gift is bad will be extensively published.
I had to hit the ball first before there was any misunderstanding.
“Sea.”
“huh? why?”
“I need to do an interview on my channel.”
“Ah~ Are you going to reveal my gift in advance before the article comes out?”
“that’s right.”
“no way. That’s how sewers do it.”
Rather, Yoon Se-ah slightly raised the corner of her mouth and shook her head.
“Let’s see the article coming out over there for the gift release. That’s more fun.”
“Hmm. Wouldn’t it be stressful because of that article?”
In fact, the method Yoon Se-ah said was better in terms of effectiveness, but it was clear that while the article was spreading, ridiculing and criticizing comments would rain down on Yoon Se-ah.
Seong Ji-han was worried about that.
“Uncle? Did you know that cider tastes better when you eat sweet potatoes sometimes?”
it was raining
Yoon Se-ah was becoming like Sung Ji-han at some point.
