Chapter 48 (2/2)

It had already been two hours since he started taking action. There was not much time left.

“I wish I could move a little more, but…”

He stopped where he was standing and turned his face.

“… I guess it would be hard.”

Whoosh, whoosh—

Crackle, crackle—

A lot of people appeared around Su-hyeun. Except for those who had come close, the number of people who were watching from afar was large. All of them were awakeners, not ordinary people.

“Huh. There was quite a lot came.”

Numerous awakeners were mobilized to attack the green dungeons and other dungeons all over the country. So, he had thought there would not be a lot of awakeners left. But still, in this short time, quite many of them gathered.

“Are you Mr. Kim Su-hyeun?”

Kim Do-ui was the one who stepped forward and asked. He was the closest aide to the director and was an A-rank awakener who was not mobilized in the green dungeon. He was the most talented awakener among the people who gathered now. Su-hyeun’s gaze turned to him. It looked like he knew enough since he mentioned Su-hyeun’s name.

“Yes, I am,” Su-hyeun answered.

There was no reason to lie now. He had been expecting his identity to be revealed from the time he started writing on Abyss Online.

“Kim Su-hyeun?”

“What?”

“Wait, wasn’t he a terrorist?”

“I heard this man is an awakener from the Dump Guild.”

“Aren’t they just the same?”

Except for Kim Do-ui, other awakens were frustrated and talked in whispers.

They had no idea this incident and Su-hyeun were connected. In a flash, the eyes of those who saw Su-hyeun changed. They started to take precautions. The meaning of that was…

“Was Kim Su-hyeun a member of the Dump Guild?”

“If that is the case, it would explain why he has not been revealed to anyone.”

“Oh, shit. That makes sense.”

It was a pretty logical conclusion. Su-hyeun was not revealed on the surface so far and neither was the Dump Guild. Moreover, at this point, when it was known that there would be a terrorist attack by the Dump Guild, Su-hyeun appeared. He was even making the fire. It was obvious to everyone. There was no room for an excuse.

“Wait. Everyone be quiet!” Kim Do-ui shouted.

Kim Do-ui, however, had information the others didn’t and had a different opinion than the other awakeners. As the leader of the national awakeners’ group, he quieted others and looked around.

“As I thought, there is no damage,” he thought.

Terrorism usually took on violent forms, such as murder, kidnapping, and looting. Naturally, damages such as vandalism and injury followed. But the path that Su-hyeun took did not have any damage. There was only a quiet street where people had left. There were no signs of broken buildings, not even a single dead person.

“Your purpose… Are you doing this to evacuate people?”

Su-hyeun’s eyes sparkled at Kim Do-ui’s question. Kim Do-ui heard of him from Lee Ju-ho several times. He was the only person who knew the relationship between Lee Ju-ho and Su-hyeun, except for the director.

“Maybe this can be solved easily,” Su-hyeun thought.

In that case, the situation would be solved much easier. Su-hyeun nodded and answered.

“Yes, that is right. I hope more awakeners come here,” Su-hyeun answered.

“More awakeners?” Kim Do-ui mumbled.

He remembered the story he heard from Lee Ju-ho. Su-hyeun was the one who told to Lee Ju-ho that there would be a sudden dungeon outbreak tonight. Perhaps Su-hyeun’s quest was to prevent it.

“Didn’t you guys come here to stop me?” But strangely, Su-hyeun said completely different. Looking around dozens of awakeners, Su-hyeun continued to say, “You guys will need more people for that.”

“What?”

“You little upstart…”

“You think you are something because people compliment you?”

A loud voice came from all over the place. This was what Su-hyeun wanted. This was better in this case. It was an intended provocation. The problem was cooperation from one person.

“And to make him cooperate…” he thought.

Whoosh—!

With Su-hyeun’s gesture, a huge Flame started to sweep all over the place. Dozens of awakeners were quickly caught up in it. But the Flame stopped in front of them without burning them.

“At least, I am the best here,” Su-hyeun said in an arrogant voice.

Thanks to the mask, the expression was not revealed. But the voice alone was enough to infer the expression.

“I need to bring as many as awakeners as possible,” Su-hyeun thought. He looked at Kim Do-ui. “How will he react?”

Kim Do-ui, who met Su-hyeun’s eyes, could grasp his intentions. “Does he mean we need more support, either prevent him or the possible monster attack?”

Su-hyeun’s ability was more than Kim Do-ui had expected. As he said, these people might not be enough. Of course, the situation might change if A-Rank himself joined here.

“It won’t hurt to listen to him now,” Kim Do-ui thought so and opened his mouth, “…Call more support.”

“Ok, cool!” Su-hyeun uttered yells of delight in his mind.
