Chapter 211
“Long time . . . Long time no see?” A masked man, Hyeonu, spoke to the three men in front of him .
“I just saw your face at the Nike party, and now I’m seeing you again after two weeks? I think we’re meeting quite often,” Mascherano replied cheerfully .
His words were true . It was hard to see the same face more than once a month unless they were in the same guild or party . This was true for ordinary players and even more so for rankers as they didn’t have enough time for their own work . Some rankers considered meeting others as a luxury . In that sense, Hyeonu was meeting with Reina, Mascherano, and Liu Shei relatively frequently .
“Why did you call us today?” Liu Shei asked with a blank expression . Liu Shei was still uncomfortable with Hyeonu . The aftermath of their first bad encounter was evident .
“You’ve gathered busy people, so shouldn’t you talk about it quickly?” Reina added to Liu Shei’s words in a cold manner .
Hyeonu nodded at their words . The Pro League had started the other week, so it was natural for them to be busy .
‘Liu Shei is still cleaning up Kowloon,’ Hyeonu remarked inwardly . After that, he said, “Then I’ll get straight to the point . As you know, I got a quest for the sixth main scenario . I will tell you about it . It is your choice whether you reveal it or hide it . ”
After Hyeonu finished speaking, Liu Shei came in immediately, “What are the conditions? You aren’t someone who would just tell us this for nothing . ”
It was a heavy straight ball . However, Hyeonu gently turned over Liu Shei’s attack like he had expected it . “Of course, I’m not just telling you . You have to give me what I want . Of course, it isn’t expensive . It isn’t something that you need . Do you accept this condition?”
Hyeonu’s words troubled the three people . They thought about the validity of Hyeonu’s proposal:
‘What does he want? An item?’
‘What does he want?’
‘Surely our items aren’t better?’
The answer didn’t emerge no matter how they thought about it . Their items were useless to Alley Leader; his items would be better . Of course, some of their items were better . However, they were their own exclusive items that Alley Leader couldn’t wear .
‘Then what the hell is it?’
It was a mystery . A short time later, Hyeonu’s words resolved their doubts . “I don’t want your items . It is absolutely not a disadvantage, so please think about it carefully . ”
Mascherano replied to Hyeonu, “I don’t know what you want, but I will listen and participate . I don’t know if there is anything I can offer . . . ”
After Mascherano announced his participation, Reina and Liu Shei accepted Hyeonu’s offer .
“I will participate in the main scenario . ”
“The New York Warriors will also join . ”
After the three people made their decision, Hyeonu told them what he wanted . “The thing I want is a map of a specific area . It is also related to the main scenario . The Balder Mountains . Give me a map of the Balder Mountains that will be created by your guilds . Bring it to me the moment it is done . ”
Once Hyeonu’s words finished, a common emotion was displayed on their three faces . It was outrage . They couldn’t believe he had spoken such grand words because of one map . Liu Shei couldn’t stand it and criticized Hyeonu, “You are just asking for a map . What is the big deal?”
Hyeonu explained, “Maps are important . They are a sign . A sign that we are on the same side . ”
“The same side?” Liu Shei asked Hyeonu .
“The three of you know that what I’m going to say today will definitely spread, especially among the large guilds . There is something related to the sixth main scenario in the Balder Mountains . In particular, more people will gather as I continue streaming . To be precise, this map is a spoon . ”
“A spoon?” This time, it was Reina who questioned it . She looked like she didn’t understand Hyeonu’s words .
“It is a spoon full of the rewards of the sixth main scenario,” Hyeonu declared seriously .

“I will cause friction with any guilds who don’t turn over the map . It will also be streaming material . They will pay the price for not knowing who they’re up against . ” Hyeonu laughed loudly .
“I like it . We have to get rid of the garbage who don’t know who they’re up against,” Liu Shei said, completely agreeing with Alley Leader’s opinion this time . “I want you to call me at that time . ”
“I will contact you when the time comes, Liu Shei,” Hyeonu said . Then he looked briefly at the two silent people, Reina and Mascherano, and resumed the explanation of the main scenario . “There is one final goal—breaking the monument at the top of a mountain in the Balder Mountains . That is the goal of the quest . ”

“By the way Mascherano, do you know Rain? Rain, first in the level rankings and the master of Behemoth—the other two say they don’t know him,” Hyeonu finally asked Mascherano . He had asked Reina and Liu Shei, but they said they didn’t know him at all .
‘Perhaps all three of them don’t know him?’
Hyeonu felt like he was grabbing at any life-saving straw he could find . He never imagined that the plan would go wrong in such a place .
“Ah, Rain? I know him a little bit personally . Last time, I saw him before he was miserably defeated by you . He asked for advice . We have such a friendship . Why are you asking about him?” Mascherano replied .
Then Hyeonu quickly approached him and grabbed his hand . “I would like to meet and share some information with him . ”
“…? There’s such a reason? Why?” Mascherano couldn’t understand Hyeonu’s words .
Why did he want to meet Rain and share information about the main scenario? Perhaps?
“If you’re sorry that you beat him in the ranking battle, it’s fine . Rain isn’t that narrow-minded . Ah, I never realized it, but you are quite affectionate . ” Mascherano grasped Hyeonu’s hand and shook it vigorously .

Hyeonu ignored Mascherano and urged him again, “Please do so . Make sure he participates in the main scenario . ”

“What brings you here? Don’t you know that the season has begun? Do you have enough room to relax?” The blunt-faced man, Rain, asked the moment he saw the handsome Mascherano . In many ways, it was a busy time . Rain had to level up and clear quests . He was also running around trying to get information on the main scenario that Alley Leader had released publicly .
Mascherano called him during this time, so Rain’s reaction couldn’t possibly be good . Mascherano, however, didn’t care as he had met Rain more than a few times and knew that this person didn’t mean it . “Why are you so grumpy? Relax~ I told you the other day . You’re too stiff . Would I call you as a joke? Am I such a frivolous person?”
“You are more frivolous than anyone I know, especially your mouth . I think you’ll probably fly away in the near future?”
Pfft . Mascherano burst out laughing after hearing Rain’s words . “Is that a joke? Kukuk . . . ”
“Don’t laugh . Tell me why you called me . You are interrupting my busy time,” Rain demanded in a serious manner .
Mascherano smiled . “Aren’t you worried about the main scenario these days? In the fifth one, you couldn’t participate because of your class advancement . The number of viewers will increase if you just show your face this time . Isn’t that right?”
“Are you making fun of me? Did you call me just to do that?” Rain’s face was red, and he looked like he was going to run out .
Mascherano gestured for Rain to calm down . “It isn’t that . I’m going to give you good news . Alley Leader made a request of me . He hopes that you will get involved in the main scenario . ”
“Why did he ask you? How did he know I have a relationship with you?” Rain looked like he didn’t understand Mascherano’s words .

‘No one should know that he is close with me . . . ’ Rain thought .
Very few people knew that Rain and Mascherano were friendly . No, there was none who knew . The two men always met at a restaurant, bar, or hotel lounge, which weren’t places where strangers’ eyes reached easily . They didn’t mean to hide it, but it somehow happened like this .
“He asked Reina before asking me . Then I got caught . Don’t look at me like that . So what if Alley Leader is investigating you? This is something that only opponents who are competing will do . He is giving you a gift, and you should accept it gratefully,” Mascherano retorted this time .
In his opinion, Rain was nothing compared to Alley Leader . It was fortunate if Rain were a passing extra .
‘It is the same for me . ’
“Take what is given . There might not be such an opportunity in the future . I think I was lucky to be in the first Masked Fighting King . Otherwise, I wouldn’t have met Alley Leader or had this chance,” Mascherano advised seriously .
He was sincere . The fact that he had a close relationship with Alley Leader earned him quite a few things . The benefits were both in Arena and with the streaming viewers .
‘I should participate,’ Rain thought . It was a great opportunity . The chances to participate in the main scenario were rare . However, this was uncomfortable .
“No? Tell me if you don’t want to do it . I have to go back to the dormitory and access Arena straight away . Alley Leader will understand if you refuse . ” Mascherano noticed Rain’s hesitation and smashed his troubles .
“I-I’ll do it . Tell me the information,” Rain said urgently .
Mascherano smiled . “The location is the Balder Mountains . The goal of the main scenario is to break a large monument somewhere in the Balder Mountains . . . There is just one condition . You must give Alley Leader a map created by an adventurer in your guild . Got it?”
Rain nodded . This condition didn’t matter . The Behemoth might be weak for a large guild, but there were many players with the adventurer class . They had enough manpower to make a map .
‘He isn’t as bad as I think?’ Rain remarked inwardly .
Alley Leader seemed to be different from their last meeting in the arena .
“So relax now . You won’t get a girlfriend if you are so narrow-minded . Be more generous . ” Mascherano was happy to the end .
