‘Good, good . ’ Hyeonu smiled brightly when he received the message showing he met the conditions of the quest . He went on to say, “Really? Then I will let you go today . I hope you don’t catch my attention in the future . Understood? I’ll leave the money for the bill here . ”
“What do I do…?” The girl asked .
“Why are you asking me this? You have to act on your own . Be it Chen Tai or the secret department, deal with it yourself . I won’t protect you next time . ”
Hyeonu left the store without looking back . No matter the excuse, a traitor was still a traitor . There was no reason for him to care about her . The moment Hyeonu left the store, there was a message announcing that he had cleared the quest .

It was a quest that bit at the tail of another quest—a linked quest .
‘In this case, is it best to enter the imperial palace?’
Hyeonu prepared a straight ball . Moreover, it was a very hard straight ball . He never thought about going back . What about searching for clues elsewhere? That would just be a waste of time . The quickest and best way was to ask the emperor of the East Continent directly . Hyeonu had no fear as he had a strong backing .
‘In any case, there is a monster from the West Continent behind me . ’
He didn’t need a dragon; it was enough to have the emperor . A viscount of the empire and the apprentice of Lebron, the greatest knight of the empire, was attacked . Could the emperor of the West Continent really bear it? It was clear that he would start a war .
‘I just have to fan the flames a few times, and it will be interesting . ’
For the sake of his amusement, the emperor had spared his brother who coveted his life . Maybe he would stand at the vanguard of the war .
‘Let’s start with the quest . ’
Hyeonu had to take what he could first . He exited Buncheonru and headed to the imperial palace of the Yuxin Empire on the opposite side of Buncheonru . However, he didn’t attempt to enter the imperial palace .
‘Eh . . . Is today Friday?’
Hyeonu felt like he had been hit in the head with a hammer . He realized he needed to stream .
‘Crazy, Gang Hyeonu . I actually forgot about this . ’
He had forgotten the fact entirely . Arena was an online game, so time passed even if Hyeonu didn’t log in . Hyeonu had been playing Arena for two days but the length of time he actually spent playing the game wasn’t long .
‘I was so busy that I haven’t played Arena a lot . ’
He’d been having meetings with sponsors and some planning for the future of Crescent Moon . It was this fatal mistake that caused the schedule to overlap by chance .
‘I should start streaming . ’
Turning it on now would mean he was streaming at a time similar to his usual streaming time . It was a bit late, but this would allow the viewers to understand that he had a flexible streaming time instead of a set time . Hyeonu believed so .
***
Nevertheless, Hyeonu’s faith was shattered the moment the streaming was turned on . The viewers were outraged .
-Your original intentions are lost!!!!
-Look for your original intentions!
-Original intentions! Where is it? Get it back!
-Apologize!! Your first heart, come back!
‘No, what is this . . . ’
Hyeonu was flustered and couldn’t speak properly . He wasn’t the type to announce the exact streaming time; he used to start streaming at flexible times . Even though he had taken this into account, there was such a storm of nonsense . . .
“Everyone, did I take a break from streaming? Or was I late? I originally streamed around this time . I’m not late, am I?”
-However, aren’t you going to end it at the same time?
-Then you are late .
-Right!
-Reclaim Alley Leader’s beginning!
Hyeonu revealed his grievances, but there were no viewers listening to Hyeonu’s words anymore . Eventually, Hyeonu took extraordinary measures .
“In that case, what I’ve prepared will be done after today’s stream . As for now, I’ll just sit back and relax . I’ve already played the slot machine . Well, I don’t think it’s bad . In order to go back to my original intentions, give five coins when sending a message or I won’t answer . ”
Hyeonu regained his original intentions in an extreme manner . It was reminiscent of the time when he was hungry for money .
-Leader Big Fan has gifted you 555 gold coins .
-Go to the content . Don’t be mad .
-Alley Leader is the Best Best Best has gifted you 500 gold coins .
-That’s right . Let’s go . I don’t know what you are doing .
The named viewers were the ones who came out . They were the large-handed people who had been active since the early days of Alley Leader’s streaming career, and they were as famous as Alley Leader . These named viewers possessed a fountain of gold coins that never dried up .
“Yes, if the two of you say so, then I’ll have to do it . Today, I will visit the imperial palace of the Yuxin Empire, the only empire on the East Continent . I will meet with the emperor, so I’m going to the imperial palace . ”
As Hyeonu spoke, he started to move . He was near the imperial palace of the Yuxin Empire, so it wouldn’t take long for him to get there . Therefore, Hyeonu’s explanation was very short .
“I couldn’t go there before because I was in Buncheonru . But now, the imperial palace and the emperor of the East Continent will be revealed publicly in Arena for the first time . ”
Hyeonu only said these words until he got to the imperial palace . He looked sulky to everyone who saw him . There was only one person who denied it—him . Then Hyeonu arrived at the entrance of the imperial palace, which was protected by guards .
“This isn’t a place for just anyone to enter . Please go back . ” The guards weren’t coercive . Rather, they were courteous as they restrained Hyeonu .
Hyeonu touched the mask he was wearing and then pulled something out . “Is it impossible to enter even with this?”
He had pulled out the golden plaque he received from Liu Yongyun, the third imperial prince and lord of Yuanyang .
The guard examined the gold plaque closely and maintained a polite attitude as he said, “Can you wait a while for my superior to come? I don’t have the ability to recognize it . . . I’m sorry . ”
The viewers were amazed by the guard’s attitude . It was 180 degrees different from the attitude of the guards in the West Continent .
-Why so kind?
-He is gentle, gentle .
-The West Continent pretty much just has swearing .
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Compared to this, the bad attitude of the guards in the West Continent is almost at the level of ignoring people .
‘There is this side of looking at it . ’
Hyeonu agreed . Indeed, the guards here were very polite . The guards in the West Continent didn’t treat Hyeonu badly, but in comparison to this person, they were a bit . . . It was true that they lost .
“No, feel free to go . I will be waiting . ” Hyeonu waved his hands .
The guard bowed toward Hyeonu and quickly disappeared .
Hyeonu remarked, “He is a very polite guard . If I were his supervisor, I would give him a holiday along with a bonus . . . ”
-Yes . I would also give it .
-This is the service mindset .
-Shocking . A guard turns out to actually be a service worker . . .
-Alley Leader must learn something like this .
-He needs to be kinder to us .
“Aren’t I already kind enough?” Hyeonu said in a huff .
Hyeonu was having a leisurely conversation with the audience when the guard brought his superior over .
“I am Shen Xianzhe, captain of the imperial guards . Excuse me, can you please show me the gold plaque again?” Shen Xianzhe introduced himself as the captain of the imperial guards and was just as polite as the guard .
Hyeonu nodded silently and once again showed off his gold plaque . No, he placed it in the hands of the guard captain . Upon receiving the gold plaque, Shen Xianzhe examined and even injected magic power into it . Once Shen Xianzhe’s magic power was infused, a giant tiger sprang out of the gold plaque and shone with a brilliant gold color .
‘So it’s like this?’ Hyeonu was stunned when he saw the tiger emerge from the gold plaque . No such thing had happened when he injected his magic power into the gold plaque . It had just eaten his magic power instead .
‘Does it only react to certain magic powers?’
Hyeonu cocked his head while Shen Xianzhe returned the gold plaque to him .
“The owner of the gold plaque is 3rd Imperial Prince Liu Yongyun . The holder of the gold plaque will receive the same treatment as the royal family just once . What can I do to help you?” Shen Xianzhe asked .
“I would like to meet His Majesty the Emperor . Is that possible?”
“Of course . The authority of the gold plaque was determined by His Majesty, the first emperor . The current emperor is no exception . Follow me . I will guide you to His Majesty,” Shen Xianzhe responded firmly to Hyeonu’s words .
Hyeonu saw this and thought of a few words: ‘A firm, principled person . ’
Shen Xianzhe was a man who didn’t compromise with the rules set . As such, he was well suited to be the captain of the imperial guards .
‘Of course, sometimes it can be frustrating . . . ’
In any case, it didn’t matter to Hyeonu . The imperial palace of the Yuxin Empire had an old-fashioned atmosphere, rather than a gorgeous one . The buildings were made of stone and wood, while the original patterns were harmoniously blended .
-It is luxurious .
-Can’t this be a tourist destination?
-It will be a tourist destination only when the empire falls .
-Indeed . . . Today’s tourists attractions are also places that weren’t accessible in the past .
-We just have to watch the stream well . I don’t think I can see it in my lifetime . . .
The viewers marveled at the buildings of the Yuxin Empire, which had a different look from the splendid imperial palace of the West Continent .
“This is the palace where His Majesty oversees affairs of the empire . I’ve already contacted him, so you can go inside . ” Shen Xianzhe bowed slightly before turning and heading to his original location .
Before entering the palace, Hyeonu had opened up all his senses and placed the return scroll and the message from the West Continent’s emperor in his clothes .
‘It’s just in case something happens . . . ’
The return scroll was a type of insurance, just in case things went wrong . It would be too much of a waste to lose his life in a place like this . Of course, the viewers who saw this scene couldn’t understand Hyeonu’s actions at all .
-What did he take out and hold?
-In my eyes, it looks like a return scroll?
-So why hide it in his clothes?
-Is he thinking about going back to the West Continent after talking to the emperor?
-Doesn’t it look like he is preparing for trouble? It clearly means he will escape if it’s too much .
Still, some viewers made accurate predictions .
‘They can pluck out everything . They are fortune tellers . ’
Hyeonu was amazed by the audience .
“It is insurance, insurance . There could be an accident . Wouldn’t it be too unfair to die here? I will die someday, but I don’t think now is the time,” Hyeonu said these words and entered the imperial palace .
There were many court ladies and servants inside the imperial palace, but no one was making a sound . They moved quietly without even making footsteps .
“Now, everyone . I think I’ll have to turn off the microphone for a while . It is because the conversation is a secret . I’m sorry . ”
Hyeonu arrived at the emperor’s office and turned off the sound output connected to the streaming media . It was because his name would be exposed . Just then, the door in front of Hyeonu opened, and the scene inside the office naturally entered Hyeonu’s eyes .
