“It isn’t possible! No!! I am going to leave!!! Let me go!” Johnny exclaimed while struggling . It was a violent statement showing his determination not to remain in Phinis any longer .
However, there was no way an administrator NPC could beat Hyeonu in terms of strength .
“Where are you going to run to? I will tell His Majesty . I’ll take care of you and then send you back . Please endure it for just one year . Your salary? I’ll give you bread . Don’t you want to eat? I’ll make a street that is only full of restaurants . In addition, this is a secret . . . I will sell food from the East Continent in Phinis . East, Con, ti, nent . ”
Johnny’s eyes widened . ‘Food from the East Continent?’
What was the East Continent? It was a fantasy continent that could only be heard about from the academy library or bards wandering the continent .
“Does it really exist?” Johnny asked with a disbelieving expression .
Hyeonu pulled out a plate from his inventory . The plate contained steaming hot food .
“This is food from the East Continent . It has a unique flavor . Give it a try,” Hyeonu said .
He placed the plate down on the table . Then he pulled out chopsticks from his inventory and inserted it into the food . Johnny had a disbelieving expression as he grabbed the food with the chopsticks .
“Wow! Isn’t this a really new taste?” This was Johnny’s impression after putting the food in his mouth . It was a new taste; it was different from the traditional dishes of the West Continent .
“Are you saying there will be stores in Phinis selling these foods?” Johnny asked .
“It won’t be just one or two places . How about making an entire street like this? How about it?” Hyeonu offered .
Johnny bowed to Hyeonu . “I hope to get along with you in the future, My Lord . ”

Kale smiled at the fragrant scent as he opened the door and entered . It was his favorite coffee aroma .
‘It smells good, but . . . ’
Of course, Kale didn’t drink it; he just enjoyed the scent . He preferred cafe latte to Americano and then cafe mocha over cafe latte .
“Take it easy . You should enjoy Arena . You know that you can’t just sit at the desk, right? You aren’t busy these days, so you should enjoy it . ” Kale approached the employees and said words of encouragement and cheers before heading to his seat .
These days, work had been going smoothly, and they didn’t need to work overtime . Well, except for Kale of course . He was too busy . It was because his boss was enjoying Arena . Kale’s monitor had a post-it note with these words: Alley Leader called you . Please call him back .
He took the post-it note off and sat in his chair .
‘Is there anything left to call about?’
However, he didn’t make a call and just thought about why Hyeonu would call . Then he recalled one thing that was related to Hyeonu .
‘Match manipulation?’
The match manipulation matter had already left their hands . It was good to have the South Korean prosecutor handle it .
‘Then Crescent Moon?’
Crescent Moon was in the process of coordinating the contracts . Later, they would gather in South Korea for a press conference or in a hotel to quietly sign the contracts .
‘So what is left?’
These were the two big things . Most of the rest was related to money . A typical streamer would care, but Alley Leader didn’t care too much .
‘He doesn’t seem obsessed with money in the first place . . . ’
Unlike others, Alley Leader didn’t buy a house or a car . He just spent a huge sum of money in an unknown place . Kale’s cautious guess was that Alley Leader had paid off a debt . Otherwise, money wouldn’t disappear without any tangible results .
‘Did I do something useless?’
Kale’s worries of a few minutes had no results . Eventually, he just picked up his smartphone and dialed Hyeonu’s number .
-Hello? A voice rang out over the smartphone . However, it was a different reaction from the usual . It was like . . .
‘Does he not know it’s my call?’ Kale cocked his head .
“It’s me, Kale . Why did you call? What is going on?”
-I just called to let you know something .
“Is it urgent? Wait a minute . Let me find some paper so I can take notes . ”
Kale pulled out a fountain pen from his chest pocket and swung it wildly in the air like he was writing something . An employee saw it and quickly ran over to Kale, handing him a notebook .
-No, there is no need for you to write it down . I’ve already sent it by email .

“Huh? Email? Can you wait a minute?”
Kale moved his mouse faster than ever and tapped on the keyboard . His mailbox contained dozens of new messages, and he looked for the one with the name ‘Gang Hyeonu’ .
-Did you find it?
“Wait a moment . . . Yes, I found it . ”
Kale found the name amidst the list of many senders and clicked on the email he’d received .
-Then I’ll say it . As you can see . . .
He opened the email as Hyeonu’s voice filled the background . The mail contained shocking content .
‘Um . . . What does it say? He got a territory . . . ’
“Wait, wait a minute! What is this?! Is this true? OMG!!!” Kale screamed when he saw it . He couldn’t contain his excitement .
“You got a territory? How did you do it alone?!” Kale’s loud voice rang through the office .
The other employees heard it and started to mutter .
“Wow, he got a territory alone? It is really amazing . ”
“I’m glad he signed with our company . It would’ve been terrible if he went to Adidas . ”
“They are already in a terrible state . Their stock price has fallen considerably these days . . . ”
Most of the chatter consisted of expressions of admiration for Hyeonu, but some of it was about Adidas . Adidas Management was on its way to being the worst, and there was only one reason for that . It was because Alley Leader was in Nike, their rival company . For this reason, its value had decreased .
Of course, Adidas had also made mistakes, such as letting Kowloon get taken by Nike . Nonetheless, Adidas was in the midst of recruiting new star streamers, and their performance was quite good . It was just that Adidas was being pressured by Nike, so they remained in second place .
Meanwhile, Kale quickly checked the contents of the mail . He was more focused than ever . It wasn’t long, so he read it quickly . “Yes, I’ve read it all . I want to say congratulations . ”
-Thank you .
“But I still don’t know why you called me . ”
Kale really couldn’t understand it . Why call him? The email would’ve fully explained everything .

-I have a request for Nike, so I contacted you . It might be a pretty tough request .
“I will be the judge of that, so please tell me first . ”
-Nike’s staff are required . They must be pretty capable . The more people there are, the better .
There came more words Kale couldn’t understand . Hyeonu needed Nike’s staff . . . ? “You need our help? What’s going on?”
-I need those who will take charge of the inner workings of the territory . The overall direction will be decided by myself, but there isn’t enough manpower to actually manage and supervise the work .
“Are there so few NPCs? It is said that many players are playing as administrators these days . . . ”
-Not really . I’ve checked, and there are fewer than five people in this large territory .
‘Oh, my god!!! It’s the worst . ’
There was no detailed information about territories, but there was some general information which was shared by players working as administrators . If Phinis was the size that Hyeonu described, then there should be at least 30 administrators . This was if the territory only had veteran NPC administrators . If he thought about players, then there would be at least 50 .
“That’s the worst . No wonder you need our help . ”
-Can’t I trust them if they are talents from Nike? It doesn’t matter if they are not as capable as NPC administrators .
There was a reason for the superior abilities of NPC administrators . It was because they received effective skill corrections such as reducing consumption costs or decreasing the construction period . Moreover, the skills were at a minimum of C-rank proficiency, not F-rank or E-rank . They naturally had to be superior to players who had F-ranked skills .
“Hmm . . . Okay . I’ll get approval for this at all costs . Well, I don’t think it will be very difficult . ”

After the call with Kale, Hyeonu resumed what he was doing . He sat in front of a large monitor and tapped on the keyboard . Hyeonu was currently writing an article that would be distributed to communities around the world . For this reason, he took a screenshot of the title ‘First Lord . ’
[Hello, I am Alley Leader . Certification]
[-Hello? I am Alley Leader . I am going to start with the certification because I know people won’t believe me . ]
Hyeonu certified himself as Alley Leader before he started the contents . He posted a photo of himself with his status window .
[Status Window]
Sponsored Content
[Level: 243
Class: True Knight of Keon
Title: Lebron’s Disciple, Warrior Acknowledged by Khan, First Lord . ]
It was a very brief status window, but it was more definite than anything else . Of course, there were still those who wouldn’t believe it . Hyeonu also understood this .
‘Therefore, I will add this . ’
[If you still don’t believe me, you can go to Alley Leader’s channel on World . This will also be posted on there . ]
He even put that up . No one could disbelieve the article anymore .
[There is a reason I’m posting this today . I obtained something very fun and amazing . As you can see in the status window above, there is the title of ‘First Lord . ’
I got a territory . A territory! This means I can stay in the first division of the league next season . I’ll release it on my next stream . I’ll leave a teaser video on my channel . If you’re curious, please watch the video . If you are even more curious, look forward to my stream . ]
Hyeonu didn’t write a long post . It wasn’t because it looked nasty . Rather, it was just that if too much content was written, then the response to his streaming would be less popular . Either way, the most important thing was the live stream .
‘I will copy this and put it through the translator . ’
There were no language barriers during streams, but a typical community site naturally had language barriers . Therefore, Hyeonu needed a translator .
‘I just need a rough conversation . ’
Translating the post into foreign languages was just for convenience . It was preparation for when there was no translator .
‘Okay, it’s done . ’
The translation into numerous languages was instantaneous . It was done with a single push of the button, and the result emerged . Now he just needed to copy and paste it to every community .
‘I have to wait for the stream tomorrow .
“I’m looking forward to it . ”
How many people would there be? Hyeonu anticipated it .
