Chapter 258
There were hundreds of people on board the plane flying between Incheon and New York . Among them were Jamie and Kale, Nike Management’s CEO and planning director .
“Boss, what happened with you?” Kale asked Jamie, who was sitting next to him with a curious look . Kale had no idea what was going on . He was referring to the conversation Jamie had on the plane when they came to South Korea . It was natural that Kale didn’t know since Jamie had handled it alone .
“I contacted Quency first . I also reported it to the South Korean prosecutor’s office . Things have become interesting . Very interesting,” Jamie said .
Kale cocked his head . ‘Interesting? Is this something that can be interesting?’
It was a serious matter . It couldn’t be called interesting . So he asked, “What does that mean? Interesting?”
“I think there is at least one Arena fan among the prosecutors . I didn’t have any evidence, but he said he had enough evidence . He was pretty happy to receive the documents I sent . I think the Korean side will be shut down soon . Then it will be hard for the involved parties in the other countries to avoid the blade . After that, Quency won’t be able to hesitate . ”
Kale asked with an expression of disbelief, “Really? So he was already suspicious . . . ”
“I was also really surprised . Then I heard his story, and it made sense . He could see that the players suddenly lost only when a certain game came out . It’s too strange to be called a jinx . It was just a vague feeling, but as a result, the prosecutor was right . ”
“He has great senses . Really . ”
Jamie smiled after hearing Kale’s words . “I also think so, Kale . I was so impressed that I still remember the prosector’s name . Kim Junsik, prosecutor of the First Advanced Criminal Investigation Department . ”

In one of the restaurants in downtown Yuanyang, Hyeonu opened the map and gazed at it .
“Where should we go, Tang-E?”
Hyeonu was setting a destination . To be precise, he was choosing a stopover location . He had one destination—the capital of the Yuxin Empire . There, he had to meet the emperor of the Yuxin and deliver the diplomatic letter he brought, as well as receive an answer .
‘The problem is that I can’t go there without doing anything . . . ’
It was a waste of time to just travel there, and it was no different from having no content .
‘Where can I suck up honey? There’s no information on it . ’
Just then, the eating Tang-E said, “Then how about going to that mountain? There will be wild boar or grilled fish . It feels good there . ”
Manhua Mountain—it was the name of the place where Tang-E said the boar had been cooked . The Chonghua Sect and Qing Feng were also over there .
‘Ah!’
As Hyeonu’s thoughts reached here, some words passed through his mind .
‘The Gucheon Secret Department . . . Buncheonru!’
When Hyeonu came to the East Continent in the past, he had gone to the Seongho Group to find the agent of the secret camp . He had found a ledger in the room of the Seongho Group’s master, and written on the ledger was the name ‘Buncheonru’ . It had the smell of a quest .
‘It might not be the main scenario, but it has the same smell . ’
Hyeonu had experience doing this type of quest in the fifth main scenario . It was the confrontation he had with Alkyl, who had been aiming for the emperor’s throne .
‘It is because the Gucheon Secret Department is a similar dark force . ’
Perhaps the quest progress would be similar . At that time, it had been easy to get through because he had a cheat key—Sunny . However, Hyeonu had to do everything with his own strength this time .
“Yes, let’s go to the mountain and eat wild boar, Tang-E,” Hyeonu replied after a while .
Tang-E didn’t care about where they were going . He only cared that he would once again be able to eat wild boar, which had a fantastic taste . “Master is the best!”
***
Manhua Mountain wasn’t far from Yuanyang .
‘In the first place, Mount Nam was close to Mount Cheon . ’
It just took time to get there because Hyeonu had to move around on foot .
“There are no monsters here . Why call me, Master dude?” Tang-E spoke in an excited manner from Hyeonu’s back .
Tang-E felt good that he didn’t have to fight, so he couldn’t help getting comfortable .
“Tang-E, aren’t I good? It isn’t fun to fight, but it is fun to run around with you . ”
Hyeonu, on the other hand, was running directly to his destination . Due to the nature of the East Continent, there was only a small number of fields, so the areas where monsters appeared were quite limited . Of course, there were no opponents who were a match for him even if he wanted to fight to relieve his stress .
“Bah, Master dude doesn’t know romance . You are uncivilized, uncivilized,” Tang-E condemned Hyeonu .

“Then would you like to run in the dust? How about it?” Hyeonu struck back without losing .
Right now, Hyeonu was in the superior position as Tang-E was being carried because he didn’t want to run in the dirt . In the end, Tang-E ended up apologizing, “I’m sorry, Master . I will be quiet . ”
An awkward silence was just about to flow between the two people when Tang-E thumped Hyeonu’s head .
“Master dude, someone’s over there . If you’re bored, how about going there?” Tang-E pointed to a fast-running group .
Judging by their luxurious fabrics, they didn’t seem to be commoners .
‘Nobles?’
Yet there weren’t enough decorations on the clothes for them to be nobles .
‘They look like warriors . ’
The warriors of the East Continent were a mix of the knights and mercenaries of the West Continent . The warriors were more systematic than mercenaries and freer than knights .
“Yes, let’s go and take a look . If not, it can’t be helped . It will be good if it works out . ” Hyeonu followed Tang-E’s suggestion as Hyeonu also liked traveling with people rather than alone .
Hyeonu approached them cautiously, silencing himself when he was still a long distance away . Nonetheless, as he approached, he deliberately made some sounds, little by little . As Hyeonu intended, one of the group grasped Hyeonu’s movements and opened his mouth, “Who are you?”
“I am a person going to Shuiyang alone . If you excuse me, can I join the group?” Hyeonu politely put forward his purpose, with his mask already removed .
There were both male and female warriors in the group .
“Oh, my . Of course . Are you going to Shuiyang? We are going to Shuiyang too . ” One of the women smiled brightly and dragged Hyeonu into their midst .
“Ling!” A man called out to the woman gripping Hyeonu’s arm .
However, he only got a vicious answer in return .
“Brother? Why did you call me? Do you have something you want to say?” Sparks were flying from her eyes .
The man couldn’t say anything and just moved his mouth, “Ah . . . It is nothing, Ling . ”
“Then we should let him join, Brother,” Ling insisted .
Hyeonu looked bewildered . It was much easier to join the group than he had expected .
“Oh, my . Is this kid your nephew? So cute . His hair is too good . ”
The female warriors brought Hyeonu and Tang-E to one side and started to observe the two of them . Among them, the woman called ‘Ling’ stuck to Hyeonu like chewing gum . “Warrior, why are you going to Shuiyang? Travel? Or to see someone?”

Hyeonu couldn’t help remembering a familiar person from this appearance . If Qing Feng was Kim Seokjung, then the woman called ‘Ling’ resembled Yuri . The behavior was the same, not the appearance .
‘Yuri was like this the first time I met her . ’
It was really just like this . She had approached him like this, no more and no less friendly .
Hyeonu didn’t panic and skillfully answered the question, “Yes, I’m going to meet someone . Why are you going to Shuiyang?”
He pointed at Ling, and she realized that she hadn’t given her name .
“Please call me Yong Ling . I am also going to meet someone in Shuiyang,” Yong Ling stated .
“Really?” Hyeonu asked this, but he wasn’t curious at all . He just accepted it . Instead, he changed the topic, “Who are the other people you are with? Can you tell me?”
“Ah, yes,” Yong Ling said . Then she called out to the women who were trying to hug Tang-E, “Everyone, shouldn’t you give your names? How long are you going to be so rude?”
Yong Ling smiled, but there wasn’t the feeling or sound of laughter at all .
“I’m Gang Hyeonu . I have a place to visit in Shuiyang,” Hyeonu greeted them first .
Then the women started to introduce themselves to Hyeonu .
“I am Qing Hua . It will be a short time, but please take care of me, Warrior . ”
“I am called Mi Li . It is a pleasure . ”
The women who introduced themselves as Qing Hua and Mi Li were also very sociable . Hyeonu thought they were similar to Yong Ling .
‘At least I won’t be bored . ’
“Please look after me . ”
After running with them for several hours, Hyeonu was able to reach the gates of Shuiyang .
“Then I’ll see you next time, handsome warrior,” a woman’s distinctive high voice pierced Hyeonu’s ears .

“Yes, I’ll see you next time,” Hyeonu said and swallowed the words, ‘It would be nice if we never meet again . ’
“Uhh . . . Master dude, am I still alive?” Tang-E was on the verge of dying .
“We escaped, Tang-E . . . ”
Hyeonu and Tang-E embraced each other .
Their journey to Shuiyang had been plagued with pain . This was because Hyeonu had overlooked some things, such as how much women of this age talked and that he couldn’t predict their behavior . These two things caused a lot of trouble . On the way to Shuiyang, they had talked, answered his questions, and dragged him around .
Deep sympathy could be felt from the gazes of the young men looking at Hyeonu .
“Master dude, let’s cook a boar . I want to catch a boar,” Tang-E cried out from Hyeonu’s arms .
Hyeonu hugged him and spoke affectionately, “Before that, we should buy some things . For example, drinks and spices to sprinkle on the boar? It will be more delicious that way . ”
“Okay . Let’s go . ” Tang-E thought about the cooked boar meat, and some energy started to return to him .
***
After all the preparations, Hyeonu left Shuiyang and headed to Manhua Mountain . He ran using magic power, so he arrived there more quickly . Upon his arrival, Hyeonu said, “It has been a while, Daoist . You are still a guard . ”
The gate of the Chonghua Sect was guarded by a young Daoist . On Hyeonu’s previous visit, the young Daoist had left Hyeonu alone to look for Qing Feng .
“Uh . . . Are you looking for Qing Feng shishu? Shishu has been looking for you several times . Why have you only come now? Just go inside . Shishu will probably welcome you . ”
It was just like how the saying went . ‘Speak of the devil’, and he would come . Qing Feng suddenly appeared at the gates . When he found Hyeonu, Qing Feng blinked several times . “Oh, my . Little brother!”
Hyeonu smiled when he saw Qing Feng greet him energetically . However, it wasn’t just Qing Feng . There were a few more people behind him .
“Warrior?”
The group of warriors, including Yong Ling, were with Qing Feng .
“Uh . . . ”
‘This is bad,’ Hyeonu and Tang-E thought as they looked at each other .
