“Yes, Jamie . H Hotel that we met at last time? I see . Three hours . Yes, I’ll see you then,” Hyeonu said and ended the call with Jamie . Then he questioned Yeongchan, who was staring at him, “What are you looking at? Do you have something to say?”
“Are you really going to become a pro-gamer?” Yeongchan was genuinely curious .
A pro-gamer—it was a profession that was chosen for honor rather than money . It would be better not to do it if it was just for money . They could earn a few times more money by streaming .
“Of course . I don’t have to be a pro-gamer for the rest of my life, but isn’t it okay just once? I have something to do,” Hyeonu stated like it was a natural thing .
He didn’t intend to be a pro-gamer for a long time . It would only be for one year . Investing more time in it would just be a waste .
“Is it because of that jerk? You want to prevent him from participating in World Arena, right?”
“No, that isn’t my purpose . It is just an intermediate step . In any case, there are two World Arena quotas assigned to South Korea . To be exact, there is one, and the other one is the Asia quota . This is the maximum . ”
“Then?” Yeongchan asked with slight relief .
“Yeongchan, how many games have we played together already? There have been a few games where I used to be a ranker . I need to show my face at least once . I am such a person . Once I become a pro-gamer, I’ll reveal it . Just like in the past . ”
Hyeonu had already set up a big plan . The question was if he could make it a reality . Could it be carried out as planned without anything going wrong? However, Hyeonu wasn’t worried .
‘I just need to find team members for one season . It will be good for one season . ’
He would achieve everything and retire in one season . This was the goal of Hyeonu’s plan .
“So there is no need to worry . It isn’t just because of that jerk Jung Hanbaek . You should worry about your own love affair . Last time, I heard you making a commotion while talking on the phone . Will you break up soon?”
Hyeonu left after saying these mischievous words to Yeongchan and headed to H Hotel, the venue of the meeting place .

“Jamie! It has been a while . ” Hyeonu waved to Jamie Moore, the Caucasian man waiting for him in the hotel lobby .
“Mister Gang! It is nice to see you . You seem to look better every time I see you,” Jamie greeted .
These weren’t empty words . Hyeonu was looking better every day due to regular diet management and exercise .
“The owner of Crescent Moon already arrived and is waiting for us . Let’s go in . ” Jamie led Hyeonu to a restaurant in the hotel .
On the way to the restaurant, Hyeonu asked Jamie a question . “By the way, who is the owner of Crescent Moon? I’ve had a lot of work lately, so I haven’t looked it up at all . ”
Hyeonu hadn’t paid much attention to Crescent Moon, formerly Big Stars . In fact, he couldn’t pay attention because of the Book of Random Luck Enhancement .
“He doesn’t know much about business, but he is a good person to act as manager for an Arena club . He has a great amount of interest and affection for Arena . He doesn’t overdo it though as he analyzes himself coldly . That’s why the talk went well . ”
Hyeonu nodded at Jamie’s explanation . ‘Really? He seems perfect for a club . ’
Moreover, Hyeonu wasn’t trying to make money with a club, so there was no need to be too picky . The manager had a high level of affection for the club . This was extremely rare in any sport . If this assessment was true, the owner of Crescent Moon could be called a wannabe in the circle .
Upon arriving at the restaurant, the employee at the front welcomed them . “Do you have a reservation?”
The person who answered the employee’s question was Jamie . Jamie responded in fluent Korean, “Moon Doyeong . It is reserved under Moon Doyeong . ”

“Moon Doyeong . . . I will guide you there . Please follow me . ” The front desk staff skillfully escorted Hyeonu and Jamie to the reserved area .
After guiding the two of them to the reserved room, the front desk employee disappeared with a courteous greeting . “This is the place . The guest is inside . ”
“Then let’s go in . ” Jamie opened the door and led Hyeonu into the room .
The room was very familiar . It was the place where Hyeonu met Kale for the first time and also where he met Jamie . This was a place that was meaningful to Hyeonu . It was safe to say that Hyeonu’s fate had changed in this place . Inside the room, there was a man in a navy-blue shirt .
It was Moon Doyeong, the owner of Crescent Moon . "Hello . I am Moon Doyeong, the owner of Crescent Moon . ”
Hyeonu was stunned after seeing his face . It was a familiar face . They had only met two times, but the encounters were unforgettable .
“Moon Capital?”
“You’re Alley Leader . . . ?”
Hyeonu and Moon Doyeong were very surprised to see each other . They were surprised .
‘No wonder why the name was familiar . ’ Hyeonu blamed himself for not remembering the name Moon Doyeong . Why didn’t he remember it? The CEO of Moon Capital was the man who had taken the 30 billion won that was like Hyeonu’s own blood .
Jamie was also surprised . “Then the two of you know each other? I thought you were meeting each other for the first time, but the two of you know each other?”
It was naturally something for Jamie to be curious about . As if to prove that Moon Doyeong had lived in society for a long time, he quickly adjusted his feelings and responded tactfully to Jamie’s words . “It was a personal thing, and we’ve only seen each other’s faces once or twice . This is the first time we’ve had a separate conversation . ”
Moon Doyeong didn’t show that anything was strange even if he felt it . This was the answer Moon Doyeong gave .
“We have seen each other a couple of times . We don’t meet often,” Hyeonu also added something to Moon Doyeong’s answer .

‘The surname Moon isn’t very common yet I didn’t remember it . ’ Hyeonu was regretful for a brief moment .
However, things had already happened, and the past was the past . It was an unchanging fact that Moon Doyeong was the CEO of Moon Capital who had taken his 30 billion won . It was also a fact that he was the owner of the club, Crescent Moon .
‘It isn’t a bad thing . ’ Hyeonu didn’t have any bad feelings for Moon Doyeong .
In fact, Moon Doyeong hadn’t done anything unfair to him . Despite the complexities, he had rightfully exercised his rights . Naturally, there had been nothing illegal about the process . In other words, it had simply been a very large financial transaction .
“I’ll greet you again . I am Gang Hyeonu . During the stream, I use the name Alley Leader,” Hyeonu greeted Moon Doyeong with an adequate expression and tone .
‘This is how he earned 30 billion in such a short time . . . It is possible for Alley Leader!’ Moon Doyeong realized . Then he also greeted Hyeonu with a courteous attitude, “Hello . I am Moon Doyeong, the one in charge of Crescent Moon . Thank you very much in advance . ”
The two of them exchanged an awkward handshake . From then on, Jamie started to set the mood . “We should eat first before talking, even though this is a strange time to eat . ”
At Jamie’s words, the server came in and started to set the food on the table . The meal began with a refreshing Caesar salad . The combination of colorful vegetables and parmesan cheese was wonderful . Of course, Hyeonu didn’t think so . ‘Ugh, it’s vegetables . Vegetables . ’
There was no taste . The vegetables were dirty, and there wasn’t enough Parmesan cheese to be tasted .
‘How much fried chicken can I buy for the price of this dish? What the hell . . . ’ Hyeonu covered up his grumpy thoughts .
On the surface, he smiled and said it was very delectable . “Delicious . I think the salad is really appetizing . ”
“Right? I’m glad it fits your taste buds . If you need to live in a dormitory later, I will hire the chef here . ” Moon Doyeong smiled .
Jamie agreed, “Or you can find a person from the United States . Is money a problem? You are Alley Leader and can get any treatment . ”
‘Are you crazy? I’d rather eat chicken . ’ Hyeonu smiled bitterly at the two men’s words . “It’s okay . Perhaps it is because I have a Korean palate, but I’d like to leave this as an occasional taste . ”
After a friendly meal, the three of them started to talk about the operation of Crescent Moon in earnest .
It naturally started with Hyeonu . “I won’t place any restrictions on the nationality of the players . However, they should be able to speak English . Age doesn’t matter, but I want their personality to be extroverted or thoughtful . ”
Unlike other sports leagues, the Arena League had no restrictions on foreign aid . In any case, it was possible to communicate freely within Arena . Quency also had no intention of imposing sanctions on such areas .
“Then I will make direct contact with rankers in Arena . I already have one or two people in mind . ”
Jamie heard Hyeonu’s words and asked, “What limit do you have on their skills? Most top rankers are pro-gamers or those who don’t intend to be pro-gamers . ”
“There is no need for them to be top rankers . They can improve and level up . Items can also be acquired . There is a lot of time until the next season . Jamie, there are two things you need to look at—talent and toughness . The cut-off line for their skills is the arena gold medal . There is no need for anything more or less,” Hyeonu answered with confidence .
‘It’s fine if their skills are just at a good standard . The important thing is related to me . ’
Currently, the PvP mode of the Arena League was a series of consecutive games . It was the same method as Masked Fighting King . The winner would continue to play as the losers would keep challenging .
‘I have to win it all . ’
PvP wasn’t a problem at all as long as the Arena League stuck to the current rules . It was the same for the raids . Hyeonu alone proved his raid ability to be superior to that of large guilds . If there was a problem, it would certainly be the siege .
‘I need people with spirit . ’
Sieges could never be won by himself . It was impossible even if he tried his best . After all, it was simply impossible for one person to stop all enemies in a siege . Hyeonu had only one body, which meant he could only stop the incoming opponents in one location .
‘So I need people who will listen to me and communicate well . ’
“Right, how many people are needed to play in the Arena League?” Hyeonu smiled meaningfully .
