“It’s the second tallest building in the city It’s the headquarters of the Murim Corporation, aka the Murim Alliance”
“Thanks for the info” His business here was done However, just as he was about to leave, he was interrupted

“Fortunately, I enjoy it”
“Hoho, it has been soster who is educated in the way of tea” Director Hyun-Baek looked pleased “I aht now”
“I won’t deny it”

“It had been filled with neigong, and it was a place that valued careat empire covered with azure seas and emerald mountains[4]”
“However, disaster came in the time it took to blink” Meteors fell from the sky, and the world burned “Mountains, oceans, land, life…Everything was destroyed”
As nature itself was devastated, the abundant energy also faded All they had left was a tiny piece of land comparable to just a fist
