Chapter 303
‘So it’s like this . . . ’
In fact, Hyeonu knew the truth . He knew that Jerry’s finger was pointing at Tang-E, not him . He was just rejecting reality .
“Yes, our Tang-E is different . He is enough to shake the continent . ” Hyeonu stroked Tang-E’s head . Tang-E was smiling . He smiled because he liked Jerry’s words .
“Really? I . . . Master dude, did you hear it? This rock will be turned into me,” Tang-E said as he climbed Hyeonu’s body . After climbing onto Hyeonu’s chest, Tang-E extended his neck to let Hyeonu see him .
“Yes, he is going to make you . ” Hyeonu felt at ease when he saw Tang-E’s bright smile . It was unnecessary for Hyeonu to feel regretful . He told Jerry, “Then, I’ll be depending on you . ”

Later, Hyeonu climbed onto the city wall and held a meat party for Tang-E as promised . After the party, Tang-E returned to Bung Bung Island while Hyeonu returned to the castle . There was a place he had to stop by first before quitting Arena .
“My Lord, you’re here?” A knight in colorful armor greeted Hyeonu . It was Letner of the Knights of Keon .
“Did you hear the news?” Hyeonu asked .
“Yes, I heard . Earl, you did a great job . The captain told me to go back to the duke in two weeks when the other knights arrive,” Letner reported to Hyeonu and guided him somewhere . “The soldiers are training here . ”
Letner knew what Hyeonu wanted . It was because Hyeonu would occasionally come to see the soldiers being trained .
‘If the soldiers grow quickly, they can be used in the siege . . . ’ Hyeonu thought . He could support the troops at will right now, but there was no guarantee of that next season . To be fair, this might be the last time . Like most professional sports, he didn’t know when Arena would become more extreme .
This was the gap between the poor and the rich . To be exact, it was the gap in skill . The influence of the pro gamers would increase . Of course, this was even better for Hyeonu . After all, no matter what anyone said, Alley Leader was currently the best in Arena .
“It’s fine . I just came for a check today . Thank you for everything in the meantime . Once you go back, learn well . ” Hyeonu touched Letner’s shoulder and turned around .
“That is natural . It is our duty . In addition . . . these people might become my juniors,” Letner said firmly to Hyeonu .
The knight was very trustworthy .
“I understand . Then I have nothing to say . Right, Letner, do you have any idea what you are going to learn?” Hyeonu asked .
He decided to give Letner a gift . It wasn’t big, but it was a better gift than getting nothing . Letner shook his head lightly . “Won’t I find out when I return? I am curious, but I’ll have to put up with it until then . ”
Hyeonu pulled out the Mysterious Sky Sword and raised it to the air . “It isn’t very different from the techniques of the Knights of Keon . Your techniques are focused on the use of magic power, so there is no standardized technique . I just brought a few standardized techniques, like this . ”
At the end of the Mysterious Sky Sword, a black bead was created, and it fired a beam of light into the sky . This was an unnerving sight .
“If you are a Knight of Keon, you should be able to learn it without much difficulty . It isn’t a difficult skill . ” Hyeonu patted Letner’s shoulders twice and disappeared . Letner, who was left alone, glanced at the place where Hyeonu disappeared and then turned back to look at the air .
“Crazy . He isn’t the Captain’s disciple for nothing . He is a monster . ”
In some ways, Letner could feel it more clearly because the Knights of Keon were more sensitive to magic power than magicians . The earl was a monster . . .
Clearly, their captain had accepted a disciple for that reason . That technique of firing a huge amount of magic power in an instant—the problem with executing it was that the condensed magic power had to be kept right to the end . Letner didn’t have the ability to condense magic power like that, so he wouldn’t be able to sustain it even if he had the ability .
“Truly a monster, a monster . ”
Letner repeated the same words over and over .

Hyeonu came out of the cube and picked up his smartphone that was emitting a bright light .
“Who sent this message?”
The annoyed Hyeonu saw the name and content of the message on the screen . Then he soon started making a phone call with a serious face . He listened to the ringback tone ring .
One time, two times, and three times . . .
It became quiet at the third ring as the call was connected .

“Brother, what happened? There was a problem?”
Hyeonu was in a hurry, but he spoke in a calm voice without any agitation .
-That’s right . I’m sorry, Hyeonu .
The one Hyeonu was talking to was Gang Junggu . The message had also been sent by Gang Junggu .
-The one we were supposed to kill . . . we missed him . Our faces were covered, so we weren’t exposed . . . We will be careful next time . Arena’s NPCs truly aren’t simple . Gang Junggu seemed very apologetic .
However, Hyeonu didn’t take it very seriously . ‘This isn’t a big deal though?’
“Well, things can happen . Sometimes it just turns out like this . How can you always succeed? Don’t worry,” Hyeonu replied to Gang Junggu casually .
It didn’t really matter . Quests—they could fail . It was impossible to always succeed .
‘Is there a problem?’ Hyeonu wondered .
“Brother, the imperial family is on our side, and we even have an NPC with a fairly high rank inside the Gucheon Secret Department on our side . What’s the problem?”
-That’s true, but it won’t be easy to get rid of that guy . This is the problem . I’m sorry for delaying things .
Hyeonu shook his head when he heard Gang Junggu’s words . There was no need for him to be sorry .
“Brother, don’t be sorry and just give it to me . I will handle it . In return, I’ll tell you about one more person . Won’t that be okay?”
Putting aside New World, Hyeonu was close to Gang Junggu and Kim Seokjung . He didn’t consider them outsiders . The former was his guild, and the latter were brothers who cared for him . Hyeonu shouldn’t be hearing the words ‘I’m sorry’ for something like this .
“Are you feeling sorry just because of this? Is this the extent of the relationship between us? I’m honestly a bit sad . ”
Hearing Hyeonu’s words, Gang Junggu had nothing to say . After a while, he opened his mouth and said, - . . . I understand . I’ll send the details separately . You can send the name and information of the 30th NPC too . Then I’ll hang up .
Just like that, Gang Junggu ended the call . It was over, but Hyeonu didn’t care too much . His attention was already directed elsewhere .
‘He is manly, so he’ll be fine . ’

Gang Junggu was one of the manliest people Hyeonu knew . He wouldn’t care too much about these mistakes . Gang Junggu would likely be having fun with Kim Seokjung even as early as tomorrow .
“Who is the 31st person? That they failed to kill?”
That was the problem . Gang Junggu and Kim Seokjung—the two of them couldn’t have missed a normal NPC so easily . Even if they were careless, the other members of New World wouldn’t have stood by idly .
‘I’ll have to wait until the message arrives . ’
Hyeonu couldn’t remember . To be precise, he hadn’t seen the list . He’d merely seen 50 numbers, ripped the paper from the 31st name, and then handed it to Kim Seokjung . So, it was natural for him not to remember . Who could remember names and information they hadn’t seen?
“Yeongchan! Let’s eat!” Hyeonu gave up on his thoughts and chose to eat instead . “Let’s eat meat! Do you want pork belly?”
Yeongchan’s cry came back to Hyeonu like an echo: “Crazy jerk! Who cooks pork belly at home now?!”
It was Hyeonu who resembled Tang-E .

The next day arrived .
Hyeonu was preparing to go out early in the morning . He gradually thickened his clothes to be more suitable for the cold weather . From the inner shirt to the knitwear and jacket on top, he wore several thin layers . It was a styling done in preparation for the daily temperature difference .
“Are you going to see the building?” It was Yeongchan who was talking .
Hyeonu looked at Yeongchan seriously . “Why do you think I’m going to buy a building? I am going to see the dormitory . ”
“Why don’t you live in the dormitory?” Yeongchan asked .
“I have a decent house . Why go there? Yuri has to go because of Sunny . Dwayne and Mason are foreigners, so they have to live here . Lee Hoon is living alone, so he is going to live together with them,” Hyeonu responded smoothly with a fluent tongue like he had already prepared the answer in advance .
“Will you live in this house for the rest of your life? Then pay rent or at least the utility bills, you jerk . ” Yeongchan wanted to cry for a moment .

While thinking about it, he found it really unfair . This was definitely a house where they lived together, but Hyeonu didn’t pay even 10 won . What about food expenses? Yes, Hyeonu only covered the cost of their food .
“But I eat alone most of the time,” Yeongchan murmured in a small voice, unable to hide his boiling anger .
“Then I’m going . ” Hyeonu left the house like he was ignoring Yeongchan or because he really didn’t hear it .
Naturally, Yeongchan trembled with resentment .

Hyeonu was in the elevator and pressed a button that said ‘1’, not ‘B1’ . His Panamera was parked on B1, so going to the first floor meant he wasn’t getting in his car .
‘I can walk . ’
The reason why Hyeonu didn’t ride his car was simple . It was because the dormitory of Crescent Moon was too close to go by car .
“Isn’t it a waste of money?”
Mason lived in the building where the dormitory was situated . In fact, Mason had purchased five floors of the residential complex facing the one Yeongchan and Hyeonu lived in . After exiting the building, Hyeonu walked for precisely three minutes . He crossed the pedestrian crossing and arrived at the main residence where Crescent Moon was located .
Mason had already arrived, and he greeted Hyeonu, “Brother, you’re here?”
Hyeonu waved to Mason .
“Isn’t this a waste of money? You’re overspending, overspending!” Hyeonu started nagging the moment he saw Mason .
It was an excessive expense no matter how Hyeonu thought about it . So much money was spent just for a period of 3 to 4 months .
“I didn’t just buy it casually . I’m investing . I’m not a shareholder of Crescent Moon . In addition, who do you think I am?” Mason laughed .
He found this Hyeonu very charming . Seriously, he was actually worrying about Rockefeller’s successor?? It wasn’t like Mason spent a lot of money . He didn’t even buy the whole building . He only bought five floors!
Hyeonu replied, “What? You are just a little brother I know well . ”
