Chapter 272
It really seemed like a futile question Why that location? It was obviously because their ene Chi-Hyun’s personality, everyone thought he would scold Alice, sarcastically asking what she had been listening to and where she had been this whole time Yet Chi-Hyun’s response differed fro we don’t know yet We uesses, but none of the them up” And instead, Chi-Hyun studied the map like he was curious about the question hi on He already had an o about this expedition, and now his brother was acting strangely It was then he realized so he had heard The Sernitas were passionate about experi creatures for their own purposes They s to the point that they even experimented with a God And it was clear that they didn’t do all this out of sheer boredooal to gain do in their favor after the recent failure of their collaborator, the Deht have finally taken out their secret weapon That led them to the question:
‘Why that location?’ Like Chi-Hyun said, perhaps, the Sernitas were counteracting against hu to stop the Cassiubia League fro their territories to protect their i stolen But even then, it made theo so far for that?’
If they were going to reveal their secret weapon, it seemed only natural that they should do it more properly; or perhaps they should only reveal the themselves a bit ht now
“That s,” Chi-Hyun continued, “There’s ain that area”
“Or there’s a reason, unknown to us, why they had to choose that place,” Alice finished for hi the two’s responses Of course, they needed to find out more about the situation, but it see more toward the latter He seemed to think that theretheir ic location, there wasn’t really anything special about the land The only particular part about it was that it was the place the Fenrir tribe had once risked their lives to protect
‘I see So that’s why…’ Chi-Woo thought
Chi-Hyun had already revealed his stance at the beginning of the ht up the tenth reinforceue’s request, and the Fenrirs in that order
“That ue asked us to help attack that area,” Alice said, and Chi-Hyun nodded
“We have experience landing a huge blow on the Deue hasn’t been able to do, and they expect us to do the same this time too”
“But I still don’t understand This area isn’t close to the Cassiubia e, but it’s not so far that they can’t reach it either Even if they are being careful because the Last Dragon almost died in the last war, they should’ve at least sent their regular arht have to do a full-scale expansion”
“Is the Cassiubia League afraid of going full-scale?”
“They don’t fear it, but the problem is that they would have two enees and casualties while fighting the joint forces of the Sernitas and the Deue hopes to er”
“By current situation, do you mean…?”
“There is chaos inside the Demon Empire” Chi-Hyun spun the stick in his hand once “As a society, the demons value war and victory above all else And such an ereat demons in a row, but they were also utterly destroyed by a much smaller and weaker army of hu their leaders’ capabilities and leadershi+p skills”
This was a world where the phrase survival of the fittest rang truer than anywhere else and only the strong could survive Thus, would people continue to accept the Deainst a weaker force, the humans? At the least, there an to think differently Yet the great demons in uppermost positions wouldn’t back down quietly They probably would try to protect their position while aiher ranks
Thus, in accordance with how the Demon Empire’s society was structured, internal conflict was bound to erupt, and this chaos wouldn’t subside any time soon—at least not until an outside threat arose The Deht each other at any chance, yet funnily enough, if a danger that threatened the eather their strengths to fight it
“So, if the Cassiubia League sends out theireach other apart and unite…” Alice nodded, grasping the situation
“It’s as you think If we use only a soal without provoking the Demon Empire,” Chi-Hyun responded

“Furthermore, ould be able to shake the collaboration between the Sernitas and the Demon Empire once more We would only knohen the situation co on behalf of the Deh”
Chi-Woo watched the two talk They responded to each other s any beat It was as if he itnessing a real
“That old tiers and above,” Alice said
“Although I didn’t plan on placing restrictions… It’s clear anyone below that tier would die less deaths,” Chi-Hyun replied
“What’s your reasoning behind setting up this standard?”
“Ismile”
An unexpected name popped up Everyone’s eyes widened, and Chi-Hyun placed his focus on his device again Then he finished reading what he’d read only a part of before
“Because I arned so thoroughly, IBut , it’s no joke fro I don’t kno to describe it You should check it out for yourself If I knew this was going to happen, I would’ve raisedface) I won’t be able to do anything satisfying with ht skills Sorry h you put your trust in e how Chi-Hyun read theStill, everyone could understand how serious the situation was
“Could you tell us Ismile’s tier?” Alice asked in case
“As far as I know, he is not under any contract yet”
Alice slightly nodded Even so, this wasn’t a situation that she could underestied to the Nahla faht after the Choi and Ho Lactea families, and the nunificant Thus, it wasthat such a hero would be so helpless in this situation
“Wait a moment” It was then someone raised their hand
“Then, does that mean Mr Ismile already knew about this h-pitched voice
“Didn’t I say that the Cassiubia recently ain?” Chi-Hyun said, peeved He was annoyed that he had to repeat himself
“Does that mean they made the same request at least once before?”
“Shouldn’t that be obvious unless you are an idiot? What’s the point of even asking that?”
“W-What? An idiot?” Apoline wrinkled her forehead Her mood was already terrible because of what Yeriel did earlier And her tone turned sharper and colder because of the responses she got, “No—but then, why didn’t you tell us anything before? Are you asking us to do this now because it didn’t work out with Ismile before?” Apoline complained, and one of Chi-Hyun’s eyebrows rose
“Ask?” He snorted and jerked his chin slightly doard “Yeah, so what?” he said confidently, and Apoline looked a bit taken aback
“As you said, Ismile failed to do this task And I didn’t tell you all before because there was no point in telling so But thanks to so, you becah forDo you have a proble?”
“Yeah Don’t you know the saying? Even things normally useless are hard to find when there comes a time for theht red like the twilight of sunset As soed by the co
“It see, so I will make it clear to you all,” Chi-Hyun said leisurely as Apoline boiled in wrath “This isn’t a request I aht about it, there was nothing wrong hat he said This was an opportunity for theain the reinforcements they needed Perhaps even an exemption for a prohts were pleased to hear that they were thought of as less than a Nahlathe the chance for himself
“Leta request, nor a you all” Chi-Hyun turned away from Apoline and looked back to the rest of the people in the roo,” Chi-Hyun eress in a task like this will be given special privileges”
Though individual tiers were decided by the growth syste else For exaold tier, they wouldn’t be able to gain control over a zone or establish an official faction without Chi-Hyun’s approval
“I advise you all to work hard if you want toApoline chewing her lip with a bright red face, “Who knows? If you do well this tihly of the Afriliths than the Nahlas” Chi-Hyun spoke like he knehat Apoline was thinking and considered her pathetic Apoline heaved Though she had heard the rumors, she didn’t think he would be this rude But in the end, she couldn’t retort even as her fury shot up As higher authority called for greater responsibilities, she needed to do necessary work for the right reward What could she say row her skills if she wanted different treatment?
‘But still, how could he talk so rudely…!’ Chi-Hyun’s attitude angered her the ht about it, and unable to quell it, she was about to say a hen she suddenly heard a loud snort
“He’s bringing up fah he h for Chi-Hyun to hear hi as speaking, Chi-Hyun could tell it was Chi-Woo He also knehy Chi-Woo was talking in this manner and was about to simply drop the issue when Chi-Woo added another line
“How can anyone speak in fear of hi his brother brood annoyedly In a voice much lower than before, Chi-Hyun asked, “…Mr Choi Chi-Woo? It sounds like you have been harboring a lot of complaints”
Chi-Woo stared back at hi for this moment “Yes, I have tons” Chi-Woo spoke clearly with bold eyes “Why? Can I not even say a word of complaint to you, Mr Choi Chi-Hyun?”
