Chapter 61: 61
Xu Jun couldn’t do anything about Hyeonu’s provocation . He was in a panic . The only change in Hyeonu’s appearance was his armor . The rest was the same as Alley Leader in the videos .

‘Alley Leader . . . ’
It was a name he hadn’t even thought about until a few minutes ago . Xu Jun thought it was just a player who watched Alley Leader’s videos and copied him . He never thought this person would be Alley Leader himself . At this moment, Hyeonu opened his mouth again, “Aren’t you coming? Then should I go?”
Upon hearing those words, Xu Jun and the three others were forced to rush toward Hyeonu .
‘If we’re going to die anyway, we might as well choose the option with some hope . ’
Their choice was reasonable . If they surrendered or waited to be killed, they would definitely have to delete their character . In that case, it was better to choose the option with a bit of hope . This was according to their standards . The problem was that Alley Leader—Hyeonu—wasn’t easy to ignore .
‘Yes, good . Come at me . That’s how the video will come alive . ’
Hyeonu was already thinking of this as a stepping stone—a stepping stone for him to get closer to his goals . This was enough . Xu Jun swung his sword lightly at Hyeonu . Then the crescent-shaped sword energy, that could be called Hyeonu’s patented move, emerged .
‘I have to avoid it . ’ Xu Jun barely escaped the giant crescent-shaped sword energy . He didn’t completely avoid it, and one piece of his armor was cut off . The problem was that Hyeonu wasn’t aiming at Xu Jun .
“Kuack!”
“Cough!”
Screams erupted from behind Xu Jun . Xu Jun quickly turned his head to see where the screams came from .
‘Damn! He was aiming for this . ’
The crescent-shaped sword energy had hit the magician and priest who were casting spells behind Xu Jun . The priest tried to block it by creating a shield, but Hyeonu’s sword energy tore through the shield and literally split apart the priest and magician at the same time .
“Are there only two people left . . . ?” Hyeonu wondered in a low voice .
For Xu Jun and the remaining warrior, it was a nightmare . Hyeonu spoke with no emotion like a child crushing an ant to death .
‘This is a monster . ’
“Monster!!” Xu Jun shouted, “What did we do wrong?”
“You are the one who started it, not me . You are the one who approached me, and you tried to kill me . Right?” Hyeonu questioned in a relaxed and emotionless voice . He took a step toward Xu Jun, moving his longsword without hesitation . Xu Jun closed his eyes at the sound of the blade tearing through the air . However, the longsword headed for the other party member instead of him . Hyeonu stepped closer and crouched down to whisper in Xu Jun’s ear, ensuring that no one else could hear him . “The ranker who the advance team touched . It was me, not a ranker . Kukuk . ”
Xu Jun’s eyes grew wider when he heard Hyeonu’s words . ‘The person who killed the advance team was Alley Leader?’
“Take a good look at how your workshop collapses . I’m going to break it thoroughly . Say hello to Tian Hu for me . ”
After saying these words, Hyeonu moved his sword again . Xu Jun’s head fell to the ground . The duel was over, and the result was just as Hyeonu expected .

The battle ended, and Hyeonu stared blankly into the air . He was checking the video he had taken .
“The video came out early and well . I’ll send it to Ellis . ”
Hyeonu had started filming from the moment Wang Feng approached him .
‘Now it is a habit, a habit . ’
In fact, he had no intention of shooting a video at that time . Why?
“I was going to kill everyone as soon as we met . ”
Then this plan was changed due to the information he obtained from them, and it became a very good choice .
[The rewards will be paid in accordance to the rule of ‘winner-takes-all . ’]
“Six inventories!! Six!!!”
Checking the inventories was a familiar task for Hyeonu .
‘Maybe no one has checked more inventories than me . ’
He had already checked over 20 inventories . It meant that he had dueled with over 20 people and forced over 20 people to delete their characters .
“It is crazy when I see it . ”
Hyeonu checked the inventories one by one with a pleased expression . Just then, Tang-E approached Hyeonu from where he had been sitting and waiting . “Master dude! Are you doing that again? Let me do half . ”
The winner acquired the inventory of another player as a small pouch . It was in the shape of a lucky bag . In the past, Hyeonu had been reluctant to check every pouch he obtained from dueling the Black Skull executives and handed over the majority of the inventories to Tang-E, letting him take things out one by one . Then Tang-E found this kind of fun, and he often demanded to check the inventories after that . It was just that Hyeonu didn’t duel often, so he couldn’t give Tang-E the inventories when Tang-E desired them .
“Here, I’ll give you four . ”
“Wow!! Thank you, Master dude . ”

Hyeonu threw four of the six inventories to Tang-E . “Work hard . Don’t hide anything . ”
“Understood, Master dude . Don’t worry . ” Tang-E took the four inventories and walked back to the rock where he had been sitting .
Hyeonu was finally able to check the inventories and started pulling items out of one of them . “Ah, shit . There is nothing worth using . ”
However, there were no items or skill books that Hyeonu could use . He didn’t want armor . At present, sets of armor which were better than Hyeonu’s Great Gorge Wind set could be counted on his fingers, so he wanted a weapon or skill book . Despite searching the inventory of a warrior, Hyeonu didn’t gain a single item that could be used .
“It isn’t a workshop for nothing . They are focused purely on sales . ”
Hyeonu might not be able to use the items, but they were popular among other players .
“If I sell all of this, can I get 10 million won per inventory?” Hyeonu commented as he confirmed the inventories one by one . “Should I use that money to buy a skill book?”
Hyeonu shook his head . ‘No, the money should be used to pay off the debt . I can go to Lebron for skill books . ’
The deposit was probably completed today . In the meantime, Nike was paying him according to his channel subscribers . As of today, Hyeonu’s channel had 10 million subscribers . This meant he would receive 10 million won today .
“Porsche’s down payment will also come in . ”
This was a revenue stream, so he could get rid of some debt . Hyeonu showed mechanical dexterity while thinking about other things .
“Eh? Isn’t this a skill book?!” Hyeonu exclaimed when he saw a small book that came from another inventory . The identity of the small book was a skill book .
[Magic Power Explosion]
[Explode magic power to deal strong damage to the surroundings .

Skill Cooldown Time: 20 seconds . ]
Hyeonu used the skill book straight away . It wasn’t easy to get a good skill, so he had to take advantage of the opportunity . Hyeonu used Magic Power Explosion as a test . An intangible sphere emerged from his sword and flew toward the ground . The sphere soon devastated the surroundings .
“It’s okay . This should be enough . ”

Hyeonu smiled with satisfaction .
Hyeonu took some time off and headed for Myeongdong . It was his second visit since his family became bankrupt .
“The Miwol Building . . . ”
The reason why Hyeonu came to Myeongdong was simple . It was to pay off his debt . The creditors were located here in the Miwol Building .
“Moons Capital . . . I found it!” Hyeonu wandered around for a long time before finally finding the location he wanted . He arrived on the sixth floor of the Miwol Building where Moons Capital was located .
Then a huge man greeted him, “Student, what brings you to this place?”
He grinned with a heinous face that he knew was frightening .
“I’m here to pay off my debt,” Hyeonu responded calmly instead of being scared by such a face .
‘Debt? He is a student, so it must be a small amount . ’ The big man ended his train of thought and let Hyeonu in . “My Hyung-nim is inside . Knock well . ”
“I understand . ” Hyeonu opened the door and entered .
It was just an ordinary office with a chair and a desk . At the end of the room, there was another door .
Knock knock .
“I’m here to pay off my debt . ” Hyeonu knocked on the door .
“Come in,” a voice rang out from beyond the door .
Hyeonu heard the words and opened the door . ‘It is ugly here and there . ’
The man inside the door wasn’t as big as the man guarding the entrance to the office, but the scar at the corner of his eye made him ugly .
“Have you come to pay off your debts?”
“Yes . ”
“Name?”
“It is Gang Seokjun . ”
The scarred man searched through the documents for a long time . He soon found the document with the name of Hyeonu’s father on it and then glanced at Hyeonu .
‘Why is he looking at me like that?’ Hyeonu didn’t like the way the scarred man was looking at him .
Then the scarred man opened his lips, “Who?”
“He is my father . ”
This question helped Hyeonu understand why the scarred man was looking at him strangely .
‘He thought I was my father . ’
“Then how much of the debt are you going to pay off?” The scarred man smiled and asked .
‘He isn’t Gang Seokjun but a child in his 20s . How much can he pay back?’
“I’ve come to pay back 10 billion . ”
The scarred man’s smile disappeared the moment Hyeonu answered . It was like he hadn’t been smiling in the first place . “10 billion? Student, you can’t play around . I am a scary person . ”
“It isn’t a joke . I’ve come to pay back 10 billion . ” Hyeonu held out his smartphone to show the balance of his bankbook .
“Really? Then you have to pay it back . Right . ” The scarred man laughed .
‘That fu*ker, Daecheol, let him in!!!!’
If left unchecked, this was a debtor whose annual interest alone would amount to billions of won . Yet the guard had let him in without recognizing he was such a debtor . Anger exploded inside the scarred man .
After leaving the Miwol Building, Hyeonu took a taxi and headed to the hospital .
“I feel better . ”
He lost 10 billion from his bankbook, but he didn’t feel empty at all . The interest to be paid every month had reduced, and the remaining principal was now 20 billion . It was twice as much as he had earned so far .
‘The remaining money will be used for my mother’s place . I’ll move the ward to a better place . ’
“We’ve arrived . ” It was the voice of the taxi driver who interrupted Hyeonu’s thoughts .
“Thank you . Here is 5,000 won . ” Hyeonu got out of the taxi and looked up at the hospital . He felt different from when he visited not too long ago . Hyeonu was confident now . He had the confidence to help his family recover .
