“Really?”
Fortaleza was a lawless city where there were constant sounds of gunfire and screams .
However, Lee Jin-ah, who had just returned to their accommodation, which when compared to the Amazon Rainforest could be called a paradise, didn’t pay any attention to the sounds from the outside as he asked in surprise .
“Are you really gonna kill that Johann Georg guy? Ah!”
He was so surprised that he hadn’t noticed the chocolate ice-cream he was eating from a large spoon slip off and fall to the floor .
“Ah, dammit! My ice-cream!”
The ice-cream that fell to the floor began to melt, and the stifling atmosphere in the room seemed to melt with it .
Of course, even in such a situation, the tenseness in Kim Woo-jin’s eyes did not decrease at all .
“The task this time is important in many ways . It’ll be an important turning point for our future . ”
This time it wasn’t just about preserving Isaac Ivanov’s reputation .
“The moment Johann Georg dies, our war with the Messiah Guild will officially begin . And it’ll be a war that won’t end until one side is destroyed . ”
Kim Woo-jin expected it to be an incident comparable with the Shooting of Sarajevo, which caused World War I .
No, he was hoping it would .
‘Then I’ll get to see Lee Se-jun’s neck . ’
It was natural for hunters to wait patiently for their expected prey to appear .
In many ways, the atmosphere had no choice but to be serious .
“…Lee Jin-ah . ”
“Y-, yeah?”
“You’re not really going to lick up something that fell to the floor, are you?”
However, when he watched Lee Jin-ah crawl to the puddle of ice-cream that formed on the floor, Kim Woo-jin couldn’t stop his body from relaxing .
When he heard Kim Woo-jin’s words, Lee Jin-ah spoke up hurriedly .
“Ah, what do you take me for?! Hey! Do you really think I’d eat something like this?! I was just trying to clean it up before it makes a mess . I definitely didn’t plan to eat the top of it or anything!”
Although he said this, Lee Jin-ah’s eyes were filled with regret .
And he was acting this way despite the fact that there were still two large buckets of the same ice-cream in the refrigerator .
Kim Woo-jin could only shake his head .
After cleaning up the ice-cream with a look of regret on his face, Lee Jin-ah finally said .
“So what does Se-chan think?”
“I haven’t managed to talk to him yet . ”
“Yet?”
“I went to the contact site but no one was there . ”
“Isn’t that dangerous?”
The communication itself wasn’t the problem .
It was slow, but there was the internet, calls, and even satellite communication was available for a fee .
The problem was that if they weren’t careful, a trail could be left .
And as Lee Jin-ah said, it could be dangerous .
“If we rush it’ll be even more dangerous . ”
Of course, Kim Woo-jin knew that the truly dangerous thing would be to behave recklessly .
“Just wait, he’ll contact you . Oh Se-chan’s abilities are amazing . ”
Above all, Oh Se-chan’s capabilities were truly top notch .
‘After all, the Messiah Guild killed Oh Se-chan for a reason . ’
Kim Woo-jin couldn’t help but wonder if part of the reason why the Messiah Guild was able to do what they wanted was because they killed Oh Se-chan .
‘He’s the best partner . ’
He was without a doubt the best partner anyone could ask for, so Kim Woo-jin wasn’t in a hurry .
“And regardless of what it is, all we have to do is prepare to fight Johann Georg in the future . ”
Fight .
Lee Jin-ah couldn’t help but give a bloodthirsty smile when he heard that word .
“We’re going to fight?”
Under the assumption that the information released was true, the strength of Johann Georg and the Ten should be really high .
After all, it was amazing that they managed to clear three 5 Floor dungeons in 72 days with a party of 11 .
“We’ve reached 6 Floors . ”
If so, were they capable of clearing 6 Floor dungeons?
Most would give the same answer .
“We’re not on the same level . ”
They were on completely different levels .
“That’s why the Lightning King wants us to fight them, isn’t it? It would be hard for us to lose . ”
As Lee Jin-ah said, that was exactly why the Lightning King had made the proposal .
In truth, if Johann Georg knew that Isaac Ivanov and his team were already capable of clearing 6 Floor dungeons, the fight would never happen .
However, this fact was only known to the members of Thunderbird .
It was like cheating in a martial arts tournament by joining a lower weight class .
“Isn’t that it?”
“That’s right . ”
Kim Woo-jin was also aware of that .
‘But even if that’s the case, Johann Georg definitely wouldn’t confront Isaac Ivanov easily . ’
The Johann Georg that Kim Woo-jin knew was not careless .
‘He hasn’t taken back the halo’s favouritism since I took it last time, so he definitely noticed . ’
After all, there was a very clear point of contact between Isaac Ivanov and Johann Georg, the halo’s favouritism .
‘It won’t be easy to create a stage . ’
Because of this, Kim Woo-jin believed Johann Georg wouldn’t easily fight against Isaac Ivanov .
‘Oh Se-chan should be working on that already . ’
That was probably why a media play was taking place at that moment .
Through the media play, the public opinion was becoming that Johann Georg was a pathetic dog who didn’t dare fight .
“Brother Se-chan will definitely lose some hair trying to organise this fight . Oh wait! He doesn’t have hair to lose! Hahahaha!”
While Lee Jin-ah was laughing about Oh Se-chan’s hair, Kim Woo-jin’s phone began vibrating .
‘Thunderbird?’
It was none other than the phone the Lightning King had given to Kim Woo-jin .
After checking the smartphone, Kim Woo-jin confirmed that he had received a text message .
[Johann Georg is asking to face off against Isaac Ivanov . ]
…
There was nothing more fun in the world than watching a fight .
[Johann Georg is confident he is better than Isaac Ivanov!]
[Johann Georg, ‘I will not avoid a confrontation with Isaac Ivanov’ . ]
[Johann Georg, ‘I’ll accept any competition in good faith’ . ]
In that sense, Johann Georg’s declaration was enough to heat up the entire world .
-Are they really going to go against each other .
-A fight between Isaac Ivanov, who can clear anything and Johann Georg, who can clear faster than anyone else!
-It’s a really big match!
Isaac Ivanov and Johann Georg, which of the two was the best?
-They wouldn’t kill each other, would they?
ㄴThat shouldn’t be the case . Didn’t Johann Georg say he was accepting the competition in good faith?

ㄴRegardless of what competition they decide to have, it’s most likely going to be in a dungeon .
ㄴWould it be something like who could clear the dungeon the fastest?
ㄴNaturally . Because they’re real players!
Above all, it was a competition that would bring everyone hope regardless of who won or lost .
This was the reason why everyone welcomed this competition .
Of course, the person who welcomed it the most was none other than Kim Woo-jin .
“Ay, the fish asked us to put the hook in its mouth before we even got a chance to pick up our rod . ”
Just as Lee Jin-ah said, wasn’t this a situation where Johann Georg had created the stage for them that they were still struggling how to make?
“All that’s left is to fight . ”
Naturally, there was no reason for them to step away from the already set up table .
‘Why?’
But Kim Woo-jin wanted to know the reason .
‘Why did he do it?’
He wanted to know why Johann Georg had made such a decision .
‘Johann Georg was never a man who’d make a hasty decision . ’
At least the Johann Georg that Kim Woo-jin knew was not someone who would make a move without a specific reason .
‘It has to be profitable in some way for him to do it . ’
He would not move unless he could gain something from it, even if it meant losing the fight .
‘Because it’s still possible to get a profit after losing…’
Lee Jin-ah looked at Kim Woo-jin, who was thinking seriously, and asked .
“Why do you look like you want to take a shit?”
Kim Woo-jin answered his question .
“I’m trying to figure out why Johann Georg is acting like this . ”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
“Obvious?”
Looking at the surprised Kim Woo-jin, Lee Jin-ah couldn’t help but speak with a smug voice as if to say, ‘you don’t even know that?’ .
“You said he was sponsored by the Messiah Guild, didn’t you? So they must’ve given him a good weapon . Your confidence rises when you get a good item, doesn’t it? And the Messiah Guild isn’t a group that is short of good items . Kuh, I envy him . I wish I had that kind of support . ”
As if intoxicated by his excitement, Lee Jin-ah continued speaking .
“Ah, now I want my own weapon . Not that battery-like Dragon Sword, but a sword that actually deals damage…”
He wanted a good weapon too!
Still immersed in his feelings, Lee Jin-ah turned to look at Kim Woo-jin .
Then he saw .
“Huh?”
Kim Woo-jin was staring at him without any expression on his face .
At that moment, Lee Jin-ah couldn’t help but feel that his gaze was eerie .
“Ah, that doesn’t mean that I’m dissatisfied with the legendary items I got or that I’m dissatisfied with you…”
Then Kim Woo-jin spoke .
“That’s it . ”
“Ah, it’s fine! You don’t need to! I just need to work harder!”
Kim Woo-jin ignored Lee Jin-ah who was trying to appear as submissive as possible .
“He wants to use this fight to rip off items from the Messiah Guild . ”
It was then .
Woowoong .
Kim Woo-jin received a text message on his smartphone .
It was nothing but a spam text that had arrived, but after checking it, Kim Woo-jin got up and quietly got dressed .
“I’m going to talk to Oh Se-chan . ”

…
“It’s been a while since I heard your voice . How’ve you been?”
-Not too bad .
“It seems you’ve been well . ”
Oh Se-chan smiled as he spoke to Kim Woo-jin for the first time in a while .
“A lot has happened in that time . Would it be fine for me to give you a brief report of the situation?”
As he spoke, Oh Se-chan picked up a fairly thick pile of documents from the desk in front of him .
-I think we can just skip the report .
“Skip it?”
-There’s something more important than that to discuss .
When he heard that there was something more important, Oh Se-chan slowly looked down at the stack of documents in his hand .
He seemed to feel despondent about the fact that his hard work would have been for naught .
Of course, the subordinates who knew Oh Se-chan’s personality knew what he was actually thinking about .
‘He’s regretting spending money for ink and paper . ’
‘He’s lamenting the fact that we’ll have to scrap the payer, making it a waste . ’
Why else would Oh Se-chan make that kind of expression?
“Is it really important?”
With that expression still on his face, Oh Se-chan asked to confirm .
-The Lightning King gave me the order to kill Johann Georg .
When he heard that, Oh Se-chan threw the documents in his hand aside without any hesitation .
“Isaac? Or Kim Woo-jin?”
-Kim Woo-jin .
“The Lightning King must have confirmed the contact between Johann Georg and the Messiah Guild . That’s why he let Isaac Ivanov go without a fight . He plans to pit Isaac Ivanov against the Messiah Guild . ”
With just the little information he obtained from Kim Woo-jin, Oh Se-chan was able to piece together the whole situation .
“Because it’s an order, it would have been impossible to refuse, so you must have demanded a price… You must have asked for something else since the Lightning King wouldn’t give you an item even if you asked for it . What did you ask for?”
-If I kill Johann Georg, Park Yong-wan might abandon me, so I asked for an important position in Thunderbird . He said he’d give me the number two position, so I agreed .
Naturally, the moment he heard that, Oh Se-chan immediately saw through Kim Woo-jin’s intentions .
“You want to eat Thunderbird too?”
-There’s no harm in having a backup .
“You’re a sniper . ’
Oh Se-chan’s expression changed to one of amazement .
He couldn’t help it .
‘Does he really intend to eat Thunderbird?’
The Thunderbird Company was a military group with basically no influence from any government .
Eating this group was not the same as securing legendary items .
‘Is he confident he can kill the Lightning King?’
More importantly, to eat Thunderbird, he’d have to first kill the leader of Thunderbird .
It meant that Kim Woo-jin was determined to do just that .
“Anyway, we’ll get to that later, the immediate concern is the challenge with Johann Georg . ”
Oh Se-chan smiled at that .
“We didn’t have to do much since he came to us on his own . ”
Then Kim Woo-jin said .
-Johann Georg doesn’t intend to beat Isaac Ivanov .
“What?”
-He wants to use this confrontation to receive more support from the Messiah Guild .

That was enough .
“Ah . ”
With the information Kim Woo-jin had just provided him, Oh Se-chan was able to get a firm understanding of Johann Georg’s plan .
“Amazing . ”
And he felt admiration .
“He’s trying to eat the Messiah Guild . ”
Eat the Messiah Guild?
From the perspective of Oh Se-chan, who knew the true face of the Messiah Guild, this was truly a chilling realisation .
Moreover, this was clearly not an impulsive action by Johann Georg .
“That’s why he attacked three dungeons in a row . ”
Johann Georg had previously attacked three dungeons in the shortest time .
“Johann Georg was already thinking about confronting Isaac Ivanov at that time, and he planned to make it a challenge of challenging dungeons consecutively . ”
And it was highly likely that that was the way he would choose to compete against Isaac Ivanov .
“That way, there’s more to eat . ”
With one dungeon, he could only receive support once, but if it was three times in a row, he would be able to receive three times the support .
“And if it was a close competition, he would receive even more support . ”
What if there was a near tie during the competition?
“No matter how upset the Messiah Guild would be, they wouldn’t be able to abandon Johann George at that point . ”
From the Messiah Guild’s perspective, they would have no choice but to continue to invest in Johann Georg .
“So in the end it will be a time attack . ”
After deducing that, Oh Se-chan relaxed in his seat .
“So what are you going to do?”
-I have to accept it .
“Are you confident?”
-It won’t be easy .
“What do you mean?”
Oh Se-chan made a strange expression when he heard that .
“You even cleared a 6 Floor dungeon, 5 Floor dungeons shouldn’t be any trouble, right?”
No matter how many 5 Floor dungeons were cleared or how quickly, they could never compare to a 6 Floor dungeon .
Kim Woo-jin explained to him .
-I’ll have to predict how long it would take Johann Georg to complete them in order to make it a close game .
That’s why it wouldn’t be easy .
“…surely…”
Oh Se-chan then realised .
“You too?”
-There’s no reason for me to watch Johann Georg eat his backers .
That was Kim Woo-jin’s intention .
-I need you to help me contact Park Yong-wan .
That was the end of the conversation .
The call ended, then Oh Se-chan’s subordinate spoke to him .
“The line disturbance is done . There were no trace attempts . ”
When he heard that the communication had ended safely, Oh Se-chan clicked his tongue instead of answering .
“That damned guy…”
After clicking his tongue, Oh Se-chan then realised one thing .
“Oops . ”
That he’d forgotten something .
“I forgot to tell him about the Lich skill . ”
