Chapters Chapter 181: Swordmaster Tuzenbach (2/2)
While they dealt with Kwak-Jung on one hand, the Korean government also made a secret deal with the U.S., asking them for help to take down the Bone Dragon.
-We have news. Currently, ten F-22 fighter jets are headed towards Seoul from the Okinawa Kadena air base, and the army has told citizens from the Seoul/Gyeonggi region to stay indoors…
However,
The U.S., which attracted the Bone Dragon towards Gwanaksan and tried to shoot it down, had to face the shame of losing three of their F-22 raptors, and running away.
Though it was obvious, the attacks of the F-22 jets didn’t work on the Bone Dragon at all, and this led to the Bone Dragon getting enraged once more and wreaking even more havoc onto Seoul.
Due to this, the entire world discovered that against high-leveled monsters, only ‘raids’, done by other high leveled adventurers, would be effective.
“Oh, the raptor has been taken down??? Ho…”
Kwak-Jung had to give some kind of reply to this deal between South Korea and the U.S. that happened without him knowing.
“It looks like they want me to add even more conditions, huh?”
Kwak-Jung laughed, after checking that the U.S had completely failed.
To be honest, Kwak-Jung had expected this to happen.
Which meant---
“We’ll add in extra conditions.”
He had also planned extra plans in preparation for the failure of the U.S.
Tuk.
Kwak-Jung threw down a new piece of paper, which had two more conditions added to the one from before. These were the additions:
9. 6,000,000,000 Korean won will be given to every person that has lost members of their family, and 2,000,000,000 of that money will be given under the name of the Galaxy Corporation.
10. The government will not intervene with the dealing between Pangaea and the Galaxy Corporation at all, and will make laws based on trading between Pangaea and Earth after talking with the Galaxy Corporation.
“...!”
“...!”
The faces of the officials paled after reading the new conditions.
It made sense.
These 10 conditions were definitely more than enough to change the Galaxy Corporation, which was still a mid-size corporation, into a massive conglomerate.
And not only that, but they could make their image as a company extremely positive through all the money they “donated”.
“Please, give us some time to…”
“Nah.”
“A-At least give us time to tell the president…!”
“5 minutes.”
“Thank you, director Kwak.”
After getting Kwak-Jung’s approval, the man who was prime minister called the president, and 5 minutes later…
“Very good.”
After getting the approval, Kwak-Jung smiled.
“10 minutes later, our adventurers will go and start taking the monsters down. The Bone Dragon case will be the hardest, and will take maybe 3 days to handle. Now, good luck on handling what comes after~!”
Kwak-Jung.
A former gangster.
Currently the strategist of the ‘great Laputa territory’.
This was the moment where this man, who lived a third-rate life, created a miracle.
Ah… my body still aches…!
Even though in actuality, he was just a man who got beaten up when Kang Chul-In got bored.
-----------
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“You don’t know me? Me?!”
“I don’t.”
“Ah… has time really passed that much, for even the great me to be forgotten? Huhu… to think that you don’t know me… the great Swordmaster Tuzenbach…”
The old man that had revealed himself as the Swordmaster Tuzenbach muttered.
“Let me ask one thing.”
“What is it?”
“When is it now? The time I came in here… Was when the Emperor of the ‘Mad Night’ was ruling.”
“I don’t even know who that is.”
“Has time really passed that much? Do you not know about the Ancient Republic either then?”
“I do.”
“Then why don’t you know the 26th emperor, Shatronus Berlinetta Pon Aurangzeb?”
“I do know the Emperor of Blood and Iron.”
“Has the emperor changed since then?”
“I mean the 27th Emperor, Julius Berlinetta Pon Aurangzeb.”
“Ahh, so it seems that little kiddo has managed to defeat his grandfather and become emperor, huh.”
“Kid?”
“As you know, Shatronus is a famed tyrant and is also a crazy bastard. He killed his children from birth because he was so obsessed with power. Even though I don’t know what exactly happened, I guarantee that when the kiddo became emperor, he had cut his grandfather’s neck off. Now, am I wrong?”
“It’s similar. I don’t know that well because I read it in the history books too. It’s been a long time since then.”
Kang Chul-In tried to play along with what Tuzenbach said, as he didn’t want to spend forever talking.
“Is that so…? That’s why you don’t know my name… It seems like time really has passed…”
“Probably?”
Kang Chul-In didn’t necessarily state that it had been a thousand years since the Emperor of Blood and Iron ruled, and that the Pangaea continent had been destroyed altogether a long time ago. Once again, it was because he couldn’t be bothered.
“Well… if you don’t know me, then I’ll show you with my skill.”
Tuzenbach exclaimed,
“Now, let’s start.”
And laughed while looking at Kang Chul-In.
“What?”
“Beat me.”
“And if I do?”
“Then you’ll be able to learn this Swordmaster Tuzenbach’s abilities, and become the owner of the Holy Light Sword, Mitra. Isn’t that perfect?”
[A quest has occurred!]
A message popped up in front of Kang Chul-In.
[The teachings of a veteran]
Receive acknowledgment from Swordmaster Tuzenbach!
Reward: [Epic] The Holy Light Sword, Mitra.
-Warning: If you do not get acknowledged by Tuzenbach, you will not be able to obtain Mitra.
Tuk.
At that moment, a sword without an edge fell in front of Kang Chul-In. It seemed like it was a practice sword.
“Now, show me, disciple. Let’s see what you’ve got.”
“...?”
“I told you, come at me!”
At Swordmaster Tuzenbach’s taunts, Kang Chul-In,
Pajik!
Grabbed the practice sword, with veins bulging from his forehead.
He had become pissed off at Tuzenbach’s attitude of treating him as a mere disciple.
“Get ready for a beating, old man.”
Kang Chul-In grabbed the sword like a club, and started to walk towards Swordmaster Tuzenbach.
