“Please tell me in detail . Will Alkyl appear throughout the empire?” Hyeonu asked Sunny without even greeting her .
“It must be very urgent if you forgot the greetings . Well, I can understand . I was also surprised . ” Sunny lowered her hood with a frown .
Hyeonu apologized . It was Sunny who took the initiative to come to him, and it was Hyeonu who needed her information .
‘It is so frustrating . Are all women like this?’
“I’m sorry . I was in a hurry . ”
Yet it was Sunny who was flustered over Hyeonu’s apology . Hyeonu seemed too indifferent to her that her pride was hurt, so she said those words . She hadn’t actually intended for him to apologize . ‘What is with this guy?’
“No, I was just joking . ”
In order to break the awkward atmosphere, Sunny started to explain what she said earlier . “In two or three months, Alkyl will start to be active . I don’t know what exactly they are, but I’m sure there will be at least four or five main scenarios . ”
Hyeonu pondered on Sunny’s words . “Then that means the base at Kunta Plateau is currently empty?”
Sunny was startled by Hyeonu’s words . This was information she hadn’t told him .
‘Did an NPC tell him? Indeed, this is the main scenario . . . ’
Sunny soon accepted it . After all, information related to the main scenario was often given by NPCs .
“Yes, it is almost completely defenseless compared to before . Alkyl is a pretty big force, but it is hard to prepare for a rebellion at the same time . ”
[Alkyl’s Inside Information Acquisition 1/1]
“Go somewhere with me now . Sunny, if this is done well, you will be able to make a big contribution . ”
Hyeonu took Sunny to Garon at the imperial rangers camp .
Garon exclaimed, “Is this true? Is their base currently empty?”
“That’s right . You can see it like that when compared to the previous state . However, their strength is still the same . ”
“If so, should I inform his Majesty the Emperor straight away and provide defense?”
“Garon, that is what you should do . This isn’t my job, right?” Hyeonu shrugged as if he was wondering why Garon was asking him . “In any case, there is a lot of time . It will take two or three months . I think it is better for us to clear out their base first before sweeping up their hiding places . ”

Garon listened to Hyeonu’s words and was troubled .
‘We have to wipe out the base anyway . ’
“I will report to His Majesty while you go separately to find and eradicate the base . ”
[The quest has been updated . ]
[Imperial Detached Force]
[-Kill Alkyl’s Executives 0/??? -> Find the location of Alkyl’s base 0/1]
The contents of the quest were updated . It changed to finding the location of Alkyl’s base .
“I understand,” Hyeonu replied .
After leaving Garon’s residence, Sunny thanked Hyeonu . “Thanks to you, I’ve gained imperial contributions . Thank you . ”
Hyeonu waved his hand at Sunny’s words . “No, it was a quest that couldn’t have proceeded without Sunny’s information . That…” He paused for a moment . “You are the one who keeps providing me with good information . Rather, I must say thank you . ”
Sunny looked at him . ‘He has polite manners and is good at the game . I like it . ’
She said in response, “Then I’ll give you some information on where Alkyl’s base is located . I don’t know exactly, but I have a rough grasp of the area . ”
The information that Hyeonu heard from Sunny would be used very soon .
Hyeonu separated from Sunny and sat still for three minutes to organize his thoughts . He thought about the direction of the main scenario and the direction he was headed in, from Kunta Plateau to cleaning up Alkyl’s base . Soon after, Hyeonu started writing notes .
“This is neat . ”
The recipient was Red Bull America’s ace, Mascherano . He was one of the powers currently competing for the Kunta Plateau . Hyeonu could’ve sent a whisper to Mascherano, but he thought about how Mascherano might be hunting and sent a note instead .
[To . Mascherano:
I am Alley Leader .
I would like to participate in the Kunta Plateau conflict .

If you need help, please contact me . ]
Hyeonu smiled widely . He quickly received an answer to his note . The answer wasn’t a note but a whisper .
-From Mascherano: Hello? It is Mascherano . I’m really surprised that Alley Leader sent me a note .
‘His reaction is fast . Isn’t he hunting?’
-To Mascherano: I will ask you in a straightforward manner . What would you like to do?
Hyeonu threw a 100-mile fastball toward the center without leaving any other path . It was Mascherano who became flustered .
-From Mascherano: Aren’t you being too urgent? Speak slowly . . .
However, Hyeonu didn’t need to think about Mascherano’s circumstances . This push was part of Hyeonu’s plan .
-To Mascherano: The Kunta Plateau—you don’t want it? I won’t ask twice . If you don’t answer now, I’ll have to go somewhere else .
-From Mascherano: . . . Let’s meet and talk . I don’t think it is something to talk about through whispers . I will go . Let’s meet at the entrance of Nobo Forest .
“He took the bait . ”
Hyeonu’s face brightened when he realized that things were resolved according to his plans .
-To Mascherano: I understand . See you in a while .
Hyeonu kicked against the ground .
He would have to speed up to get to Nobo Forest quickly .

At the entrance of Nobo Forest, two men were already waiting for Hyeonu . One looked like an intelligent martial artist while the other was a magician who seemed to like using his fists . It was a combination that looked pretty strange .
“Do we need to do this?” The fighter-like magician, John, asked Mascherano . He was skeptical . Leaving the Kunta Plateau right now was a risky action . If JT Telecom or Mano knew of this situation, there was a chance they would attack the two people, forcing them to log out before sweeping through Red Bull America .
“This is Alley Leader . It is worth taking the risk . A joker who wants to overturn this place needs the corresponding treatment . ”
Mascherano had already decided to seek Hyeonu’s help . There were certainly people like John who questioned what Alley Leader was doing . However, Alley Leader was someone truly incomprehensible .
‘Like meleegod of the past . . . ’
The Arena player Mascherano admired the most—he was like meleegod .
“I lost to him in Masked Fighting King . It was also one-sided . Alley Leader’s level now would be even higher, and his items would be better . If so, I would still lose . Look, New York’s icicle was also wiped out . ”
“Yes but . . . neither of you did your best? If you fight again, no one knows what the outcome will be . ”
“I wish that were the case, John . ”
Mascherano had just succeeded in persuading John when someone approached Nobo Forest .
“Did you wait for a long time? I was a bit far away . Sorry . ”
A man wearing a child’s mask—it was Alley Leader .
“I’m sorry . . . ”
Mascherano shook his hand to show it was fine .
Alley Leader continued, “Then let’s start by talking about what I mentioned before . I would like to participate in the property dispute over the Kunta Plateau . I would do so as a mercenary of Red Bull America . ”
“What are the conditions?”
“Free access to the Kunta Plateau . I don’t need anything else . Items, skills, or money—I don’t want those . ”
‘I don’t want any nose accessories . . . ’
It was enough to serve the role of a mercenary in a simple territorial dispute . There was no need for useless things .
“Okay . Then let’s do so . When will you join us?”
“I will act alone . Just pretend you don’t know me . I will wander around the Kunta Plateau . Then it will be over soon . Or you will get a chance to finish it . ”
“Is that possible?”
Mascherano couldn’t understand Hyeonu’s words . There seemed to be little correlation between Alley leader wandering the Kunta Plateau and the other two guilds retreating from Kunta Plateau .
“It is possible if the opponents are Mano and JT Telecom . It is enough . I will take care of it . ”
Mascherano nodded at Hyeonu’s words . He didn’t know about Mano, but he knew about Alley Leader’s relationship with JT Telecom .
‘They’re idiots . Those garbage who don’t have skills can only talk . ’
No matter who looked at it, they were defeated in terms of ability . They poured everything out but couldn’t reach Alley Leader . At that time, Mascherano had been very upset when he turned on the stream and heard the nonsense those dogs were barking .
“If it is JT Telecom, then I will make them pay several times . I understand . ”
“Mascherano, you should ignore me in the future . Treat me like a passing cloud . ”
“I know, Alley Leader . Please get good results . ”
Once the talk was over, Mascherano and John were busy . They had to go back and inform their team and colleagues of their consultation with Alley Leader .
‘It seems I have successfully entered Kunta Plateau?’
Hyeonu had a slight smile on his face . The big picture was already completed .
-It’s a good decision . We always respect Mascherano, but we must praise this decision .
“I think I was lucky . It was Alley Leader who contacted me . It was also just before the raid began . His personality is very straightforward . It would’ve been terrible to think about what would’ve happened if my response was slow because of the raid . ”
‘That’s right . I was lucky . It will also be better in the future . If we can just get the Kunta Plateau, we will be one step ahead in the main scenario competition . ’
Soon after he separated from Hyeonu, Mascherano conducted a raid with other guild members in the Kunta Plateau . The raid was a success . Only then did he call the front desk to tell them of his deal with Hyeonu . The result was full of praises as seen . From the club’s point of view, there was nothing better than this . At this moment, Mascherano’s expression was stiff .
“Still, why did Alley Leader ask for a free pass to the Kunta Plateau? What if it relates to the main scenario?”
-I think this part is unavoidable . We don’t know how long this competition will last without Alley Leader’s interference . It has already entered the stagnant phase .
“I know . I’ll hang up now . I’ll call back next time . ”
“Hah,” Mascherano sighed as he hung up the phone . “Mano seems to have gathered a club for the main scenario . . . There is Alley Leader . It is already hard enough to chase after New World . . . It is frustrating . ”
Mascherano stepped back toward the Cube . He couldn’t waste time . It was necessary to save as much time as possible when competing for the main scenario . Just before entering the cube, Mascherano yelled . It was a call to someone outside .
“Contact that icicle . Let’s form an alliance . ”
The New York fighters and Texas guardians joined hands .
