“Hm?” Seo Jun-Ho looked at the child with interest The kid looked like he was about five years old atwith fear, but instead, he bravely asked him a question “I’m not part of the Alliance, but they requestedWe’re basically collaborators”

“Youto screa”
“What did he say?” Seo Jun-Ho asked
“I don’t know I couldn’t understand it”
Seo Jun-Ho nodded The cyborg had also spouted gibberish when Seo Jun-Ho faced him earlier
‘It’s possible that his vocal cords were also replaced with machinery, and it malfunctioned’
Seo Jun-Ho stood up and inspected the front door Just as he hadn’t been able to open the door fron of forced entry ‘H Scythe used so Scythe was probably planning to hide in here to lick his wounds before eventually running away
Seo Jun-Ho turned back to the boy “Do you live here alone? Where are your parents?”

It had only been a few hours since Seo Jun-Ho arrived at the Muriood look at the chaos here It was croith ood a froher-ups”
“Please”
“I told you Go wait until the Alliance Leader gives orders”
“I will heed your command”
The man who received the order had a sharp aura about him He led his subordinates away and disappeared

It was the Player Seo Jun-Ho He had only left a few hours ago to chase his target, but he had already come back In fact, he came back with a child in hand—a child Director Hyun-Baek had never seen before
“And who is this child?”
“This is Dong-Chil Dong-Chil, say hi”
“hello…”
“Please, just answer my question…” Director Hyun-Baek pleaded
Seo Jun-Ho sat the boy down on a nearby sofa and explained what had happened
“Ah, I see That could have been disastrous You did well for bringing him here,” the old ht them sweet senbei[1] on his orders, and he spoke to his subordinates “It seems that this boy’s father is affiliated with the Alliance, so go look for hirant him a few days of rest as well”

Director Hyun-Baek watched as Dong-Chil left and turned to look at Seo Jun-Ho again “Tonight, you saved the lives of two people”
“Two?”
“If his father had lost his only re child at that, he would have becoain, I thank you”
Seo Jun-Ho scratched his cheek at Director Hyun-Baek’s repeated expression of gratitude and changed the subject “Anyhat’s going on? Everyone seems to be busy”
“You noticed?”
“They’re all running around with such pale faces It would be harder not to notice”
“Sigh It is because of the Demonic Cult”
The Deion of Neo City, and the Murim Alliance believed that they were in possession of the fourth chip
“Is there some kind of incident ?” Seo Jun-Ho asked
“Indeed there was A few hours ago, the fiends in the city gathered at their headquarters”[2]
“” Seo Jun-Ho’s eyes narrowed “I’ that today wasn’t the anniversary of their founding or so?”
“You are correct That is why it has becoathered?”
“If we kneouldn’t be so apprehensive” Director Hyun-Baek sighed again, and the wrinkles on his face deepened “I worry that things will unfold similar to the old Great War of Good and Evil”
“It can’t be” Seo Jun-Ho e-scale ere to occur in such a s would be destroyed
“I pray that it would be the case, but the paranoia of an old man cannot help it”
“I pray that it would be the case as well Oh, and this” Seo Jun-Ho retrieved the Lightning Scythe’s body Director Hyun-Baek stared at it with admiration
“Ho, you are a fine swordsht
‘I didn’t know that he was strong’ Director Hyun-Baek muttered to hi’s body, it seemed that he hadn’t even been able to land a counterattack, despite being a first-grade enerate a current of 50,000 volts
‘Then the Player is at least as strong as a first…No, a high-grade martial artist’
Director Hyun-Baek’s newfound admiration showed in his eyes “You must be tired because you have just returned, but ive you another request?”
“What is it?”
“Would you be willing to survey the eastern region? I would feel uneasy assigning this mission to a member of the Alliance on the off chance that it provokes the Demonic Cult”
“Hm”
“It will not be difficult You simply need to inspect the area around the De on there”
Seo Jun-Ho thought for a moment and nodded “That doesn’t sound too difficult I’ll do it
